"That Bastard Cloned my baby!" Juno screamed at her husband.
"Yes, then aged the clone. I couldn't ge-"
"Pack your things and leave." Juno demanded softly.
"Juno?"
"You failed to protect my son. You were too rapped up in the war to care."
"I ran from the compound here as soon as I found out!"
"IT WAS TOO LATE THEN!"
"JUNO! LISTEN TO YOURSELF! BAQ WAS YOUR SON AS WELL AS DERRON'S! IT ISN'T MY FAULT!" Galen snapped.
The door slammed and Galen's banging footsteps faded and were then followed by the front door being smacked off it's hinges.
"DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT TO HELL!" Juno shouted as she kicked the cupboard.
Kento had slumped off during the argument yet the Clone didn't have the sense or understanding to.
"I-m So-rr-y." The Clone said to Juno.
"It's not your fault."
"I-m a Bas-t-ar-d Cl-o-ne?"
"No no, yo-ur my s-on, do you have a name?" Juno spluttered now calm.
"N-ame?"
"Like me? Mine is Juno but being your mother, you'd call me mom."
"M-om."
"Yeah there you go so what is your name."
"Cl-o-ne."
"Clone? No, I think we will need to find something better than Clone."
"L-ik-e wh-at?"
"How about... Caleb?"
"Ca-leb."
"Do you like it?"
The clone nodded his head
"Good, then your name is Caleb!" Juno said as she realised that Galen couldn't of done anything.
"Cale-b"
"Your speech isn't very good is it?"
"Cl-o-ni-ng pro-cess, Cau-ses sho-rt ter-m def-ect."
"Oh I see, well how about we work on that as I find you some clothing that isn't white or ugly and we get your age and everything up to scratch?"
"Ok-ay."
"Brilliant!"
Galen slammed and stomped into the command centre before noticing the huge list of deployed units on the wall. He analysed it carefully and noticed that he was on it and due for deployment in three days. He sighed as he read threw and noticed the crosses beside the names of the dead. It would have been easier to just read the names of the living as more were dead than alive on the list, whole unit's had been crossed with just a single cross. On the right hand side beneath his unit of forty, was three units of fifty each crossed with one X.
His anger built again and soon he realised that anything that wasn't bolted down was now surrounding him as if a bubble of the force had attracted it all. He slowly eased the objects into their places and decided to enlist further help for the war from his home; Syen, Cali, Juno, Leia, ex rebels ex imperials, anyone who'd join him in risking his life for his world.
Cye growled as Quentin got up and walked away from his wife, his son, his daughter and Grandson.
"Ca-li," Helen Stammered.
"Don't bother." Cali spat viciously.
Andre ran outside and tightly grasped his sister's leg in a almost suffocating hug, he didn't understand why he hadn't seen Cali in a long time or why their parent's argued with Cali. Andre was very close to his sister until she enlisted at the Imperial academy as their elder brother had done.
"Cali do not make your brothers mistakes!"
"Don't even dare to bring Kyle up!"
"Kyle married young!"
"I'm NOT even married mother!" Cali spat
"What?"
"I didn't marry Cye."
"You will never be accepted on our homeworld again!"
"Mother, I am not coming back, this" -Cali pointed to the Hostel like place- "Is my home and I share it with Cye."
"No, this will not happen!"
"Were you married to Father when Kyle was born?"
"That is not the same!"
"Yes it is! I am not married to Cye by choice, we don't want to be married we are happy enough as we are."
"Kyle was a accident."
"So? Kallium is. The difference is that my baby is a welcome accident, Kyle wasn't and you made sure he knew it!"
"I loved Kyle! Like every mother loves her child!"
"You pushed him away! You kicked him out! You made his life HELL! No wonder he ended it!"
"Don't you pin the blame on me! Your not to old for a slap!"
Swish, hiss zzzz. Cye's lightsaber ignited and swished in a neat semi circle.
Helen's lifeless form sprang into twenty pieces and then collapsed only a inch away from her now motherless children.
"Mommy!" Andre cried as Helen fell.
"Shh, its ok Andy." Cali cooed as she shot a horrified look at Cye.
Everyone looked on in disbelief as they knew that this spelt the end for Cali and Cye.
Galen pushed threw the layers of people that crowded the base, at one point he felt like screaming 'Get out of the way or I'm going to decapitate you all.' yet knew that his alliance wouldn't take too kindly to such a statement so he decided on a alternative;
"Everyone Unit formation Drills!" Galen shouted at the men.
"Yes Sir." A chorus replied.
As everyone began their drill Galen strolled off the base and back toward his home.
His usual walk was quite busy, compared to most days the town was thriving again, yet he soon noticed that the Rebel Clones had taken even more of the city and that people were rushing to safety not to inspect what was left of the high street. Imperial's and Rebel Clones flooded the main centre of town so Galen avoided it even though it was against his duties, he should have reported it to another General but didn't think it'd go unnoticed.
Galen rushed up to the house and around to the back of his family's Quarter, as he didn't want to be lectured by anyone he just wanted to rest. He force-pulled his study's window open; he always left the latch off. He made sure no one was looking and jumped up and threw the window. He had to be careful about using the force as the civilians were demanding that force sensitive's should be arrested for creating the clone army to begin with.
Galen laid back and rested his head against the wall, he retrieved his lightsaber from inside his rebel uniform and placed it quietly onto the desk, that's when he heard it. His Clone-son, speaking.
"Mom, can I have some water please?" He sounded so much like the voice in Galen's visions or hallucinations that Galen Gasped and his jaw dropped as someone opened the door.
