Chapter 6: Arrival on Kamino

Sabine's P.O.V

We just came out of hyperspace, orbiting Kamino, the true home of the Republic clone troopers. I had a really bad feeling about this planet. This planet had a strong imperial presence, and with the mysterious warrior being there, alongside Ezra's clone, it just adds to that amount of how tough this mission will be. I was in my room, getting my gear prepared. Once I was ready to go, I resided Mandalorian proverbs to myself to help prepare my mind for another mission.

"Okay, this is as close as I could get you with no imperials seeing us. Get going, and I'll try my best to pick you all up. Good luck, Specters." Hera said. The rest of us nodded and headed to the cargo hold, getting ready to set foot on the rainy world.

"You ready, guys?" Kanan asked us.

"Always." Ezra replied.

"Ready to roll." Alex said.

"Let's do this." I said.

"Let's rock." Zeb said.

The cargo door opened and we jumped out, landing on a platform on the rainy world, the rain pouring down hard on us with lightening being illuminated through the clouds. "This way." Kanan said, taking point.

"Dang it's so stormy out here." Ezra said.

"Tell me about it." Alex replied.

"Strange. There's no imperials so far." Zeb said.

"Zeb, don't get ahead of yourself so easily. You never know." I reminded him.

"He's right, Bine." Ezra said, Kanan nodding.

"How do you know, Ez?" Alex asked.

"Kanan and I can just sense it." he replied. We continued moving through the windy, rainy conditions, moving towards the building ahead of us, until we saw a figure in the distance. "Stop!" Ezra told us, raising his hand. We aimed our blasters at the figure, who continued walking towards us.

"Guys, don't do anything stupid!" Kanan ordered, gritting his teeth. The figure started getting closer, and I could tell from the figure's body that it was a female. I had a feeling that this was another one of the mysterious warrior's pawns. The figure got dead close to us, stopping in her way.

"Ah, I see you have brought your two jedi friends with you. Hand them over, and you will all be spared." the figure said. "If you refuse to cooperate, I will kill all of you personally, with or without my master's orders."

"If you want to hurt our friends, you go through us!" Ezra retorted, drawing his saber. The female figure laughed under her hood.

"Well then, Bridger, I see that your devotion to your friends is quite admirable. I also see that you've met...shall we say your other self, your clone."

"How do you know about the clone?" Kanan asked the female warrior.

"Because I was told about it by my master. Which reminds me." Oh no, what was going to happen!? I got my answer when the female figure let her hood drop, and we all gasped at what we saw before us. I was probably even more stunned compared to the others.

This female warrior was a clone...OF ME! It had my eye shape, jawline, current haircut, and nose, except this was the opposite. Her skin was pale, it had those yellow dark side eyes, and her hair was jet black. And what she had, unlike me, seeing a tiny glimpse of it hidden under her cloak, was a lightsaber! This clone was also force sensitive, like Ezra's clone.

"What's the matter, Sabine? Surprised at seeing yourself, hmm?" the clone asked me. I pulled out my blasters and started firing rapidly at the clone, her bringing up lightsaber, which was red, and deflected all of my blasts flawlessly. It then force pushed Ezra and Kanan to the ground, pinning them there, then me, Zeb, and Alex. The clone lunged at me and, surprisingly, deactivated her lightsaber and started throwing punches at me on the ground.

She got me in a guard move. Using my legs as I blocked her punches being landed on my face after she forcefully removed my helmet, I wrapped my legs around her body and flipped her over, landing punches on her face, her face becoming bloody. She kicked me off of her, and now we were both up in fighting stances. She came at, throwing punches which I blocked, then I kicked her in the stomach with a front kick once I saw an opening. My kick pushed the clone back. She attempted to come at me, but I landed a punch to her face before anything. It just laughed as it wiped the blood off her face.

"You're quite good at fighting." the clone said.

"I got it in me." I retorted, performing a flying back kick on the clone, hitting her in the stomach. The clone then force pushed me, activating her lightsaber as it made its way towards me. It kept me on the ground with the force. I thought that this was the end of me, until Ezra lunged at the clone and blocked her attack before the killing blow could be made.

"You get away from her!" he said. The clone laughed and force pushed Ezra, but he got up and force pushed her, the clone near the edge of the platform. Kanan got up and assisted his padawan as they took the clone together, getting her even closer to the edge. The three of them locked blades, the jedi trying to push the clone back. However, just when they were close enough, the clone made a comeback, managing to get Kanan and Ezra away from her. She was about to deliver the killing blow, with everybody else still on the ground. The clone brought up her lightsaber. However, reacting quickly, I saw an opening.

I equipped my pistols and unloaded on the clone, blasting her in the back. I continued blasting her, until the clone fell to the wet ground of the Kaminoan platform, lifeless. I just killed myself. I went over to where my helmet was and put it on, helping Ezra and Kanan up.

"You boys okay?"

"Thanks for saving us earlier." Kanan said.

"Come on, we gotta get Zeb and Alex up." Ezra replied, all three of us helping the lasat and other Lothalian human up. "Let's keep moving." Ezra ordered us, and we continued on.

Third person P.O.V

A TIE fighter entered Kamino's atmosphere, heading for a landing platform. The fighter has touched down, with no troopers lined up along the way, and nobody present to greet the dark robed figure who got out of his fighter. He walked down the pathway, the rain pouring down hard on him with flashes of lightening brightening up the building ahead of him. As he continued walking, something, or rather someone, caught the figure's eye.

He turned his head to the right a little bit, looking down at what lay below him. He took a knee, examining the clone of the Mandalorian Sabine Wren laying there, dead and gone, with evidence of blaster shots around her back. As he examined her body, he knew exactly what it meant from here on.

"They're here. I AM HERE."

After he looked down at the clone's body, he continued walking further down the platform in the cold, windy, rainy conditions. Just as he was walking, the figure's holo communicator went off. He reached into his robes and pulled it out, a hologram of an imperial officer appearing. "What is it?" the figure asked.

"Lord Von, we have a breakout. Another one of our clone experiments have broken free and have gone rouge. He is killing everyone in his path." the officer explained.

"You're not telling me...that the clone who is going rouge is...him?"

"It is him, my lord."

"Hunt him down and kill him, and find the rebels and bring them to me alive! Understood?"

"Yes, Lord Von."

The figure known as Von deactivated his holo communicator, putting it back into his robes, and continued walking down the platform, his hands on two lightsabers attached to his belt. He finally made it to the entrance of the building, where he saw dead bodies of several stormtroopers, all of them having evidence of blaster marks and lightsaber slashes. Von walked through the scene, until he saw a stormtrooper who was still alive crawling up to him, groaning in pain.

"Sir, they...they..." the trooper groaned.

"Save it." Von ordered, bringing up his lightsabers, his thumbs on the buttons to activate them.

"Sir, what are you doing!?"

"Failure will not be tolerated, trooper." Von activated his sabers, the hilts revealing crimson blades, and the trooper screamed out in pain when the dark warrior stabbed him in the back with both sabers. Von pulled the sabers out, deactivated them, then attached them to his belt. He moved on through the facility, his hunt continuing.
