A/N: Aaand another chapter. This time again with a bit of seriousness. I wanted to include clones as well because I left them behind a bit so in this chapter you will have a bit of Rex. As always criticism is encouraged.

Enjoy:

Sabine's POV

It was one week since RED Scout vanished and it really influenced the mood in the base. RED team was now throwing deadly glares at their counterparts and that woman called Miss Pauling. All ideas of starting interaction with them was eiter unsuccesful or ended with several members of BLU team heavily bruised. BLU Scout was getting the most hits. Sabine couldn't deny the fact that it was mostly his fault because he cheated in the duel with his counterpart and shot Ezra. Ezra... He worried her. He was either locking himself in the room for most of the day and even if he was coming out, he looked like he was crying all the time. She tried to convince him to come with her and prank someone, but it always ended with Ezra crying even more or just doing nothing and radiating with anger and hate. On training with Kanan he was always not concentrated and had sudden bursts of anger and tears. Sabine was bringing him the food and water, since she was one of the few people he let inside. The others were Hera, Pyro (who was also crying all the time and was easy to get mad) and Ahsoka. When there was other person, he simply was locking the door.

It was one day when Sabine went to Ezra's room with breakfast. The door was unlocked, like all these times she went to him. This time Ezra was cowering in the corner of his room and she could hear him sobbing.

"Hey Ezra." Sabine started. "I've got your breakfast." Immediately she felt the plate moving and it flew away from her hand and landed on his bed. Expect for that he didn't react.

"Ezra, you can't do that anymore, you need to get over it. We need you." she tried again. Ezra lifted his head and she saw tears in his eyes which were now full of hate and anger. It freaked her out.

"Get over it?" he asked. "How am I supposed to get over it when my best friend is dead?"

"I'm sure he wouldn't want you like that." Sabine said.

"How can you know?" he asked in tone that was now hostile. "You didn't know him. You never tried to know him like I did." He had a point. Scout annoyed Sabine with his and Ezra's pranks. His cocky attitude which was less visible than before was still irritating. But most of all, he was better in fighting, mostly because his speed and agility which Sabine couldn't counter with anything. Although he was undeniably stronger and better in fighting than his counterpart who was irritating her even more now.

Suddenly Hera's voice echoed through her comm.

"Sabine, we've got a report that someone was terrorising cities on Garel with Imperial forces. The people asked us for help. If it's possible, get Ezra and meet me in the Ghost." she said. "I need someone to help me keep the RED team from tearing out the throats of their counterparts." Sabine put her hand on the padawan's shoulder.

"You heard Hera." she said with that sweet tone that he didn't dare to disobey usually (well maybe except in pranks with Scout or just after Scout went missing). Surprisingly it worked. Ezra stood up, took the jogan that was on his plate and left taking his lightsaber with him.

They reached the Ghost and entered the room in which two teams argued. It was so loud that Sabine couldn't withstand. But before she could say anything, coldness filled the air.

"COULD YOU ALL SHUT UP!?" Ezra yelled. Everyone felt silent and BLU team was now sitting and looking at padawan with terrified looks. He went to his old prison which he now made his little base. Sabine entered the cockpit and there was already Hera, Kanan, Zeb and Chopper.

"Wow, I didn't know that Ezra can yell like that." Hera commented.

"There is a big anger in him." Kanan said.

"No way, and you realized that because of your Force powers?" Zeb asked sarcastically. Jedi looked at him with that 'really dude?' look.

"Do we know who exactly is terrorising Garel?" Sabine asked.

"No, the only thing we know is that the Empire is with that man. Also Inquisitors were spotted on the planet so Kanan and Ahsoka should get ready."

"Wait, Ahsoka is coming with us?" mandalorian asked. She wasn't going with them on the missions recently.

"Yes I am." Togrutan Jedi said entering the cockpit. "This mission is important. There are almost a hundread people dead already."

"That much, in a single day?" Zeb asked.

"They were all killed by that man." Ahsoka added. "That's why Rex is going with us."

"Indeed." Rex who was standing at the door now smiled. Everyone fell silent

"Alright, let's see who are we fighting." Hera broke the silence and after a minute, Ghost was in hyperspace.

Garel, capital city, [Error 404]

Everything was red. Everything felt empty. All he felt now was anger and he obeyed it. All these people running away were now his enemies. And the Voice told him to kill them. When the other ones come, the Voice will arrive as well. And they will kill them together.

Later, Garel, capital city, Sabine's POV

"By the Force..." Hera gasped. That's exactly what Sabine wanted to say. City was in flames from the eastern side and they could see two walkers and a bunch of stormtroopers behind a mysterious figure. It was wearing a metal armor. From what it looked like, it was thick.

"That must be the guy responsible for all of this." Kanan said.

"Well then, what are we waiting for?!" RED Soldier suddenly appeared between them. "His ass won't kick itself!"

"Soldier, please stop doing that, you're giving everyone a heart attack." mandalorian said.

"You were accepted on the battlefield by me, BUT that doesn't make you able to give me orders!" he screamed.

"Ow! Ok, so could you please stop appearing between us out of nowhere?" Sabine asked politely.

"Alright, Hera drop us on that square over there." Kanan said pointing a small space, perfect for a quick drop.

"Alright, get ready." she said. Everyone jumped out of the Ghost. BLU team wanted to do a rush but their counterparts immediately stopped them.

"You already wanna give up our position, wankers?" RED Sniper asked irritated.

"You maggots really don't know how to fight!" RED Soldier commented. They went on their flank and everyone was on positions. Sabine's role was to keep the stranger busy long enough for Ezra and Kanan to attack him.

"Alright mates, on my mark." Sniper said. "Mark!" and then Sabine ran out of her cover. Stormtroopers were now falling dead on the ground and both Soldiers and Demomans were now blowing up the walkers. Stranger immediately turned around and saw her. Sabine fired three bolts but he dodged them easily. He was now running towards her and she couldn't hit him. Then an echo of RED Sniper's gun echoed and now Stranger's armor started to spark on the back. He roared in fury and ran towards the mandalorian. Sabine was now pinned down and the Stranger punched the pistols out of her hands. Then he delivered a hard punch in her head. Everything was blurry for a moment and she felt that she fell on the ground.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" that was Ezra's voice. Sabine barely saw the strange man pulling out two pistols and started to shoot at him. Ezra easily deflected the shots to the shooter who now fell on the ground.

"Are you ok?" Ezra helped Sabine up.

"Uhh, that guy punched me hard, but I'm fine." she said. Then the guy's armor started to spark on each part and after a moment it exploded. Sabine was now coughing from the smoke.

"Is he dead?" BLU Soldier asked.

"Well it wouldn't hurt to check up if that maggot is still breathing." his counterpart anwsered.

"Wait!" Sabine said. She saw a figure in the smoke. It was wearing red and was very similar to...

"No, it can't be..." she said. But it was him. Scout stepped out of the smoke. It was real him. His real face, his real jacket, his real hair, just his eyes were different. Instead of the dark grey blue eyes there was a dark smoke coming out of his eyes.

"S-Scout?" Ezra was stuttering. Everyone else was shocked as well.

"Is that really him?" Rex asked. It couldn't be him. He wouldn't do all of this.

"Missed me, didn't ya?" Scout said, but his voice was like two voices were speaking at the same time. "Well shit, sorry, but now it's my time to BONK all of ya!" then he grabbed both of his scatterguns and started to shoot. Two shots were aimed at Sabine and Zeb who just went out of cover. Three projectiles pierced through her armor and she hid behind the corner. Zeb was more lucky because he was farther and only one projectile got him.

"Shoot him!" Rex ordered. Immediately rebels and BLU team started to shoot but RED team hesitated. Scout probably took the opportunity and rushed towards them. RED Demoman recieved a hard punch to the face with his bat. Rex tried to hit him, but runner dodged it and dropping his scatterguns, he pulled out his Force-a-Nature. Almost all of the bullets hit the clone captain who was knocked back several meters. Wounded Sabine tried to reach her pistol but every move hurt. Suddenly Scout stopped and turned his head towards two other dark figures.

"You did well, recruit." Seventh Sister said with a smile on her face.

"Scout..." Ezra couldn't say anything. "How... how could you?" he now had tears in his eyes. RED mercenary froze. He looked at Ezra and Sabine could swear that his dark eyes flicked for a milisecond to his normal ones and back.

"Enough of this!" Fifth Brother yelled and ignited his lightsaber.

'So they took control over him!' Sabine's thoughts started to scream 'But inquisitors were angry when he looked at Ezra, maybe there is a way to bring him back."

Scout suddenly rushed towards Ezra and pulled out something that looked like a vibrosword. It was a vibrosword. When the blade connected with padawan's lightsaber, Ezra was knocked back.

"Oh no, you don't!" Zeb appeared next to Ezra and they both attacked Scout who was now escaping and shooting them with his pistols.

In the meantime Kanan and Ahsoka were fighting inquisitors and RED and BLU teams were providing coverfire. Sabine again tried to reach her WESTAR pistol but the pain was awful. It was taking all of her energy away, but she went through it and when she touched the blaster with her fingers, she tried to bring it closer. She grabbed the blaster and aimed at the Fifth Brother. Her hand was shaking from pain. Sabine gathered all the strengh she could get to stabilize the pistol and fired.

(Sudden magical POV switch) Scout's POV

The voice stopped and Scout could feel his body again. He saw Zeb trying to hit him with his rifle. He remembered something. Kidnapped, tortured, and possessed. Then he recieved a good punch from Lasat.

"Ow! Wait, wait!" he yelled. But then the pain returned. He felt like his head was squished and the more he resisted, the more it hurt. He was loosing control again.

"ENOUGH!" he heard Seventh Sister. Then he saw everyone being pushed back. Then she turned to him. "Come here." she said and immediately his legs brought him in front of her.

"Yes?" he asked against his will. Female inquisitor pointed on someone lying on the ground. He saw Sabine covered in blood.

"Kill the girl." she ordered. Scout was now in front of the mandalorian. He pulled out his pistol and pointed at her. But his real self was resisting. He couldn't do this to her... He couldn't do this to Ezra... Scout resisted. He was now seeing Sabine looking in his eyes. His hand shaked.

"Do it!" Seventh Sister started to loose patience. He felt more pain in his head and that felt like his every brain cell was burning. "Kill the girl!"

"NO!" Scout used all of his remaining strength to point the pistol at his head and fired. Everything went dark...

(Sudden magical POV change) Sabine's POV

Sabine was now lying on the ground and in front of her was Scout's dead body. She thought she was dead but he sacrificed himself for her.

"YOU!" she heard RED Heavy's voice. "Yes YOU! You are DEAD!" he made a gesture of slit throat with his thumb. All members of the RED team were now walking towards the inquisitors with pure hate in their eyes. Even Spy was now visible and held his two Ambassadors.

"You maggots are going to experience HELL!" Soldier yelled.

"FIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Demoman yelled and started to blindly shoot grenades at the darksiders. The rest did the same with their weapons. Inquisitors were either dodging or deflecting the projectiles but were now pulling back.

"Come on, get up!" Sabine heard a voice next to her. It was that woman, Miss Pauling who was now trying to help her get up. Mandalorian tried to stand up and finally with her arm around the other woman's neck, they walked back to the group.

"Why are you helping me?" Sabine asked. She couldn't understand the sudden care about her. She usually stayed back.

"I'm not letting his sacrifice going for nothing and if you bleed out here, it will." she said. This made Sabine feel really bad. She didn't like Scout and it seemed for her that he didn't like her either. But why did he shot himself for her?

"RUN COWARDS!" Heavy was now screaming as inquisitors were escaping. When they were out of sight, they turned back to Scout's body. Like if they conjured it, the hologram appeared from his chest. Sabine sighed in relief. She completely forgot about it.

"What's that?" Miss Pauling asked.

"That's what's gonna bring him back." she replied with a smile. RED Medic activated his medi-gun on the hologram and after a few seconds, a fully healed Scout's body was standing there.

"Oh geez! My head hurts like hell." these were his first words.

"He's fine." Engie said. BLU team and Miss Pauling were looking at it jawdropped.

"What da hell happened?" Scout asked. Then everyone felt silent. Sabine was now thinking about the same thing: should they tell him?

"Boy, whatever happens next, take it easy." Rex said.

"What do ya mean?" he asked but then started to stare seemingly into nothingness. "Wait! I remember something!"

"Scout, just relax, partner." Engineer tried again.

"These bodies!" Scout started to panic. "I remember killing, but it was not them! It couldn't be!" Then his eyes opened wide and Sabine already knew he remembered. He collapsed on the ground and curled up covering his eyes.

"WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE!?" he yelled and started to cry. "I'M A FRICKIN' MONSTER!" Suddenly Hera's voice echoed through the comm.

"Uhh, if you don't mind asking, what's taking you so long?" she asked. "I don't see any firefight from here and Imperials are going to bring reinforcements soon."

"We have a tough situation here, Hera. We'll meet you at the drop zone soon, but you need to wait." Kanan said. Ezra approached his friend and crouched next to him.

"Scout, it wasn't your fault." he said. "It was all inquisitors' fault."

"All these frickin' people dead." runner said. "And I almost killed Sabine." Now the mandalorian decided to join.

"But you didn't. You resisted the inquisitors." she said. "If it wasn't for you, I'd be dead." Suddenly RED Pyro ran towards Scout and hugged him. It seemed to comfort him a little bit.

"C'mon, we should go." Ezra said. "Remember that we need to keep up with pranks." That did the trick. Scout stood up and even with his eyes still wet. They all nodded and started heading towards the square where Hera should pick them up. They saw the Ghost has landed. Hera was on the ramp and it seemed that she spotted Scout. All of the rebels including Sabine were trying to now express the message 'later' or 'not now'. When they were all on board, Sabine went to the cockpit.

"I want an explanation." was the first thing she heard.

"Easy Hera, not all at once." Kanan said. "He is still in shock."

"You mean that HE killed all of these people?" the pilot insisted.

"It wasn't his fault, he was controlled by inquisitors!" Ezra defended his friend. "And sacrificed his life to not kill Sabine." Hera had a surprised expression on her face.

"Is it true, Sabine?" she asked.

"Yeah."

"Alright, now let's just go home." she said and sent the Ghost to the hyperspace. When they were home, Scout already went somewhere with Ezra and Sabine thought that she needs to pay them back for all the things that they did. She was looking for them and found them on the shooting range. They were practicing some moves and seemed happy now. Sabine approached them.

"Hi guys."

"Yo, what's up?" Scout asked in that strange accent that he was using and which irritated the mandalorian so much.

"I thought that if everyone is now in bad mood then we could put some energy into them." she said and pulled out one of her paint bombs. Expressions of both of the boys changed immediately.

"Oh, you're on." Scout said with an evil grin on his face.

"Yeah, let's do this!" Ezra smiled and Sabine felt so good that she helped them now.

"Alright boys, let's go create some chaos!" she said and handled each one the bag of paint bombs.

"Actually, I've been doin' a thing with Engie. It might come in handy." Scout said. "Be right back and sorry that I stole you paint for ammo, Sabine." then he was gone. After a while he came back with something that looked like a rifle.

"What is it?" Ezra asked.

"We called it paintball gun!" runner said proudly. "Name by me!"

"Wow, can I get one?" Ezra asked.

"Maybe later, but now..." he put the gun on his arm. "Let's get 'em!" And so it happened. They went to the base to cover it in paint with people as well.

A/N: And done! So I tried to do a bit more seriousness for a while but now I'm done with it and we can go back to funny stuff. It was just an idea that I had. Also, I thought about the invention of paintball gun and decided to put it here :). Write what do you think about the chapter and I'll soon start season 3 chapters. Carry on.

Bonker out!
