Their Hope

Chapter one

Fives is bored, very bored, from watching the monitors on the Rishi Moon outpost, where nothing ever happens. Sighing he is about to turn to talk to Echo when something catches his eye, a speeder has appears on the monitor.

'Boys we have incoming, but I think it's crashing,' he tells the rest of the vode in the room.

'Fives take Echo and Cutup, go check out the crash site and see what we have' O'Niner tells them. 'Radio in once you have a visual.'

'Sir yes sir,' the three reply saluting their commanding officer. The three quickly exiting the base, jogging to where the speeder crashed.

'Shab, it's a Jedi speeder, call it in,' Fives tells Cutup as he and Echo rush to the crash scene. Fives prizes open the cockpit to reveal a young woman, in white Jedi robes. 'Doesn't look like there's any blood but that's a nasty bruise on her forehead. Echo help me get her out of here.' Echo and Fives carefully life her from the cockpit, being gently not to jostle her too much, as Fives settles her in Echo's arm.

'Shhh, it's alright, we've got you,' Echo says lowly hearing Allie moan slightly in pain. 'Let's get her back and let Nub look at her,' Echo carries her safely in his arms back to base, while Fives grabs her bag.

'She alive?' Cutup askes as they reach him.

'Yeah, just a nasty bump to the head. She's lucky really, looking at that mess,' Fives says pointing back to the wreck.

Making their way quickly back to base, they are met at the doors by O'Niner and Nub.

'Down to the Medbay, quickly' O'Niner ushers them, Echo carefully laying Allie down on a bed once they arrive.

'Right you lot, leave me to it. Looks like she just needs some rest and a bacta patch on that head of hers. I'll run a couple of scans just to be sure' Nub tells them. Though the three members of Domino squad are reluctant to leave.

'Back to your stations men. Once she wakes we'll see what the General wants us to do,' O'Niner says, forcing the three from the room, as to not disturb Nub.

'Sir yes sir,' they reply, reluctantly returning to their posts.

Allie feels like someone has hit her head with a hammer, as she struggles to open her eyes, finally she manages to force them open she is surprised when she finds herself not in her room at the hospice but some other medical looking facility, momentarily forgetting what happened before it all rushes back to her and she sits up quickly from the shock, that yes, it was all very real.

'Ouch, fuck, that was a bad idea,' Allie groans holding her head.

'Careful there General, you took a nasty bump to the head in the crash,' Nub says kindly, placing his hand on her arm to help steady her.

'Right, I forgot about that. I should never be allowed to fly,' Allie laughs before smiling at Nub. 'I'm Allie,' she holds out her arm to Nub.

'Nub,' he goes to shake her hand, however Allie surprises him by grabbing his forearm.

'Jate at urcir gar. Sorry if my accent is a little off.'

Nub is in shock as hearing a Jedi speak Mando'a. 'Who taught you that?'

'A… friend,' she smiles, knowing she learnt it on her own because one she loves the clones and two when you are confined to bed there isn't much you can do, plus the Force is helping her as well suppling any words she may not know or has forgotten.

'If you are feeling up to it, the others are in the control room and I'm sure they would like to meet you.'

'Um…' Allie looks down, with a blush raising to her cheeks. 'Fresher?' she asks, a little unsure if she has using the right word.

Nub laughs pointing to a door on the opposite wall. 'I'll be outside when you're ready.'

Allie walks into the room and takes a look at herself in the mirror. 'You can do this Allie,' she thinks to herself taking a few minutes to compose herself, before exiting the fresher and the medbay to find Nub leaning against the opposite wall, however he immediately straightens upon seeing her.

'No need for that Nub, relax please,' Allie smiles at the trooper.

'Right, this way ma'am,' Nub leads.

'Oh please, no ma'am, it makes me feel old, just Allie is fine.'

'I'll try ma… Allie,' Nub corrects himself.

'All I can ask,' Allie says kindly.

Nub leading her quickly through the base to the control room.

'Nothing exciting ever happens here,' Hevy complains as the alarms sound.

'Well you got your wish,' Fives jokes about the meteor shower.

Allie freezes upon seeing Domino squad and realising exactly where the Force has dropped her.

'Shields up,' O'Niner commands.
