A/N: Sorry this is later than usual as well as the mix-up with this chapter. Much thanks whoever pointed that out! I also noticed there was some confusion regarding the Rex storyline. In the past few chapters, he has been flashing back to the reasons he is in his current situation. To clear this up, I have placed all the flashbacks in Italics. Also, this chapter may seem a little short, but it's all building to the next, larger one. Thanks to all who reviewed! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: It's Disney and Lucasfilm's playground. I just play in it.

"What are going to do?" asked Beru, frantically.

"We are going to remain calm. " Obi-Wan replied. "We do not know their purpose for being here yet. It could have nothing to do with us. I will go to town and see what I can find out."

"No offense, Kenobi, but since you're supposed to be dead right now, why don't I go to town?" Owen suggested. "Besides I know the people better."

"He has a point," Ahsoka said.

Obi-Wan sighed. "Be cautious," he suggested.

"Yes, please be careful," Beru said hugging him with one arm, holding Luke securely in the other.

"I won't be long," Owen promised, kissing her forehead. He nodded at the two Jedi as he grabbed a bag and headed out the door.

Obi-Wan turned to the women. "I'm going to go ahead and feed him while he's awake," Beru said gesturing to Luke.

"I'll keep watch from here," Obi-Wan said positioning a chair behind one of the front windows of the house. Beru nodded, and went into the kitchen.

"What do I need to do?" Ahsoka asked. Obi-Wan looked at the weary girl, still quite battered from her recent clone encounter.

"Try to get some more rest," Obi-Wan replied. "I'll let you know if anything exciting happens."

Ahsoka almost opened her mouth to protest, but Obi-Wan gave her a look that shut it down. She was too exhausted to argue with the man, anyway, and slowly walked back to the guest room. Obi-Wan watched her leave and then took his post.

It was little more than an hour later when Owen burst back into the house. "Everyone in here!" he shouted before Obi-Wan could say anything.

Ahsoka and Beru ran into the room.

"What is it?" Beru asked.

"There are clones going around with the town leader to every house in the area. They claim they are "updating the census." They are taking record of all who are on the planet."

"The town leader will know we did not have a child!" Beru cried.

"The clones will know us," Ahsoka said, sadly looking to Obi-Wan.

"Maybe there's someway we could hide. Pretend we're not home until they're gone." Owen suggested.

"No." Obi-Wan sighed. "If you aren't here, they'll get suspicious."

There was a defeated silence in the room.

"Who was in-charge?" Ahsoka suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Owen responded.

"Were you able to find out if there were just clones here, or was someone else leading them?" She asked.

"It seemed that there was a clone in charge," Owen replied.

"What if we left?" she suggested, looking to Obi-Wan.

"What do you mean exactly by 'we'?" he replied.

"You, me, and Luke. We could go into the desert or somewhere for a little while the clones scope the place out."

"Not a bad plan," Obi-Wan complimented. "But I hesitate to take the baby- and you too, for that matter- out to such conditions. We also don't even know how long they'll be here."

"Besides, don't you already have an apartment in the city, Obi-Wan?" Beru added. "Won't they be suspicious if you aren't there?"

"Eh, most of those are black-market. I can't see a landlord easily admitting much about them, including how many residents." Owen replied.

"Besides, I know the man saw me leave the other day, and I haven't been back since I got Ahsoka." Obi-Wan added.

"We can take care of Luke," Ahsoka assured Obi-Wan.

"I'm still concerned about you," Obi-Wan replied.

"I feel fine," Ahsoka lied.

Obi-Wan looked at her skeptically. After a moment, he sighed. "I can't think of a better option. We'll leave immediately."

"We have a tent you can use, and water." Owen mentioned.

"Thank you," Obi-Wan replied. They quickly packed up the necessary supplies, and attached them to a speeder the Lars' were lending them. Ahsoka gently lifted Luke out of Beru's arms. "Don't worry," she assured the nervous aunt, "We'll have him back in no time."

Rex opened his eyes. To his surprise, he was in a Republic medical bay, with not Coric, but Ahsoka looking down at him. "What the…" he began softly.

"What is wrong with you?!" Ahsoka interrupted.

"What even happened?!" Rex asked, shocked. "Where's Coric?"

"Coric is explaining to Anakin and the Jedi Council why his Captain arrived back on Corosaunt half-dead!" She yelled.

"Why are we back on Corosaunt?" Rex asked. The last thing he remembered was being on an operating table on Kamino.
"You were half-dead!" Ahoska repeated, ignoring the question.

"Wait, Coric isn't telling them…" Rex began.
"You were being cocky on an open training course, and tried to do it without a helmet. You fell and suffered a major head injury." Ahsoka cut in.

"Well, I, uh, didn't mean to be reckless, I…" he began to reply.
"I know what really happened!" she interrupted.

There was silence.

"I needed to do it." Rex finally spoke.

"Oh, oh, OK. 'I saw Fives killed by this, and I know the only other guy who had this operation done died too, so I think I'll do it!'" She yelled, her voice heavy with sarcasm.

"It was the only way to find out the truth! Didn't you want to know the truth?!" he defended.

"I wanted you two to go and investigate; to see if you could find something that they didn't see before, or was covered up. I did not want you to attempt suicide! How is this going to help you figure out what the chip is for?"

"It could be analyzed. We could see what's on it," he argued.

"You know it already has been analyzed. No one has been able to crack the code, aside from the Kamonians, and they already gave an explanation." Ahsoka replied.

"What if they were hiding something? Rex pointed out. Ahsoka was silent. "Come on, you know it's possible."

"Rex… you could die," she said softly, reaching for his hand.

"I know, but if I don't, and anything else happens, we'll know what that chip really does." He argued.

"Yeah, but is it really worth it?" she asked.

"Yes, " he said with certainty, "and I need you to promise not to tell anyone the truth about this, especially General Skywalker."

"I'm not sure if I can do that, Rex," Ahsoka admitted. "I don't want to lose you."

"Please, Kid…" he begged, "Please."

At this point Anakin entered the wing. Ahsoka squeezed Rex's hand before quickly walking past her master and out of the building.

A/N: By the way, my favorite moments from the trailers were Rex coming back (Rebels), and Han and Chewie (TFA).

Until Next Time,
