A/N okay so I've been meaning to do this a while ago so here it is. I am now a beta reader! Yay. Anyway here is the second part premiere of Order 66 the aftermath. This should be one of the best. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Chapter 12
When I get to the ship I turn around and see Rex isn't with me. I look for him then I hear Barriss.
"Ahsoka come quick." I walk up on the ship and see the holo-net on. I see a picture of a clone and a togruta women running from storm troopers. My eyes widen as I see they are running in our direction.
"Ahsoka get ready for some company." I look outside and see the two people then I see the silver plating of Rex's arm. I watch as he pulls his gun out and fires. I look over at Barriss and Sheila, and then ignite my lightsaber. Obi wan and Luminara do the same. Cut just raises his gun and Suu and the kids just stay at the back of the ship.
"Come on Shakk stay with me. Rex I need cover fire now."
"I'm right behind you Fox, I've got your back." I help the two get on the ship and I see Rex blow the area up.
"Finally alright Cody take us up."
"On it Rex. Naboo here we come. Everyone hold on."
"Punch it." The ship goes into hyperspace and I finally see who the woman is.
"Shakk, you alive." I run up and hug her and she returns the hug. I still have to stand on my toes to hug her but I don't care. Just to know part of my pack is alive is enough to take my mind off of my height. The only thing that could make this better would be if Master Plo were here.
"Ahsoka thank god you got out." I look at her and then at Rex.
"I owe that to Rex. Him and Echo got me out." I lower my head when I mention my fallen trooper.
"I remember Echo he was a good man." We all just sit in silence for a minute before Cody jerks the ship.
"Cody what happened?" I look at Rex as he tries to contact Cody and then the ship jerks again.
"Blast I'm going up there." I look at the door when Fox grabs Rex's arm.
"Be careful up there."
"Don't worry about me, Fox. I'll be fine." Rex walks up to the cockpit and I just close my eyes. 'How does he not feel it?' I look at the door and Barriss walks over to me.
"Ahsoka I'm sure everything is fine."
"No Barriss. It's not fine. Rex should have sensed what would happen. Yet he still went up there."
"What do you mean?"
All of a sudden the ship jerks and the lights go out. I hear screams but none of them are from the group. I try to sense what's happening but my vision gets clouded.
"Ahsoka come on." I look around but I don't see anyone. Just when I start to give up I see the hatch open. I see Rex at the control panel and I see Cody limping.
"Barriss help Cody, Fox get ready to fire on the controls, Cut get the kids ready to jump. Ahsoka I need you over here." I walk over to him and I see blood running from his side.
"Rex your hurt."
"I'm fine now I need you to help me with this. Cut the locks on the ramp. That way it'll be out of our way." I cut the locks and then I look at Rex's side. I shake my had and then I see Cut grab the kids.
"It's now or never Rex."
"Alright jump." I look around and see everyone jump out of the ship. The only ones still in the ship are Fox, Rex and me. I look out of the ship and see we are over water. I watch as Fox shoots the controls and jumps out. I look at Rex and then he looks back.
"Go I'll be there in a minute." I look at his hand and see he is holding a grenade.
"What are you going to do?"
"Ahsoka trust me and go." I turn around and jump out. As I fall I turn around to see Rex jump out and throw the grenade. He dives towards me and then the ship blows up. I see the explosion and then I feel my body hit something. When I look down is see a hand wrapped around my waist. I realize that it's Rex but I have no idea why he is holding me. Before I know what happened I feel Rex go limp and he goes into a free fall. I look at his back and see a burnt hole in the armor. I look over towards a ledge on a mountain and see a sniper. I grab my lightsaber but before I can do anything I black out.
I hit the water and look around for Rex and see Cody pulling him onto the shore. I swim over to them and get out of the water.
"Where's the rest?"
"They're going to get help. What happened to Rex?"
"A sniper. What I want to know is how they knew we were here."
"So do I. The only way they could have... wait a minute." I look at Cody and he pulls a bullet out of Rex's back.
"I knew it." He puts the bullet down and looks at the mountain.
"What is it?"
"The sniper that shot Rex, we both knew. He was a civi and well he decided to join the fight. The fight on Naboo. Rex, the civi, and I were going on a undercover mission to destroy the droid army on Naboo. Sadly we were caught, and Rex and I did the only thing we could. We gave the civi up. He had been the one to blow our cover so we had to leave him. Apparently he lived."
"So because of a failed mission he wants Rex dead and not you."
"Right, he didn't care about me. Rex is the one who told him that he was being left behind."
"So now he won't stop..."
"Until Rex's dead."
"Locke can try to kill me all he wants but he won't be able to." I jump at the sound of Rex's voice and I turn around to see him sitting up.
"If he uses his sniper rifle he just might kill you."
"Wait his name's Locke?"
"Yeah." I look out on the water and see where Rex hit the water.
I hear the rest of the group come back and I turn to see a medic with them.
"Ahsoka what happened up there?" I look at Barriss and then back at the water. She sits next to me and I just sigh.
"Ahsoka? Are you okay?" I close my eyes and try to stop from crying.
"I'm fine Barriss. It's just that Naboo was suppose to be a safe place for our family and now I found out that it's not."
"What do you mean?"
"Rex has an enemy here. He is the reason Rex has that wound in his back and I have no doubt he is the reason that we had to jump out of the ship."
"Things will get better Ahsoka. I know it will." I smile and look at her. I know she's right but I can't help to think that she's wrong.
We stay on the beach for a few hours to get back to reality and everything seems to be fine. No one would expect what happens next. Rex get's back on his feet just long enough for him to hit the ground. We look around and see Locke firing at us. Everyone raises their weapons and starts firing or blocking his shots. I try to hit him with his own bullets but I fail. I see Rex almost making his mark and Cody getting just as close. I watch as a bullet leaves Locke's gun and I hear a thud. I turn to see Master Luminara on the ground bleeding. I hear Barriss scream and Cody try to calm her down. I look up to where Locke was and I don't see him. I look for him and I don't see him.
"Ahsoka behind you!" I look at Rex then trun around just to get punched in the gut by Locke.
"You should've looked sooner. Now you will die." I see him raise a pistol and then his shoulder gets hit.
"No she won't." Locke looks at me and then at Rex.
"Fine. Then you'll take her place." Before anyone can react Locke shoots Rex ind the chest and walks up to Luminara and looks down the barrel only to see her in pain.
"Your time is up jedi." He smirks and pulls the trigger. He chuckles and looks as Barriss as she screams an ear piercing scream.
"Master!"
A/N okay so long time since I got this updated hope you like it.
