Chapter 50

"She shouldn't be wandering the halls" Nala Se scolded at the sight of Rex and I walking through the cloning facility during the mid afternoon.

"Doctor, she is feeling much better and I refused to argue with her and keep her locked up in that room any longer." Rex stated calmly. "If I didn't take her out she would have pushed me back with the force and marched out herself"

"You're a clone, you are supposed to be able to handle a sick child" the doctor spat out.

"Excuse me?" I started, glaring up at the woman.

"Don't mind her" Rex told me, holding me back from getting in a fight while I was still sick. I had grown agitated the past few days and was ready to get out of here and away from Kamino, happy to never return.

"You must take her back to her room!" Nala Se ordered.

"With all due respect sir, she outranks me" Rex shrugged, guiding me off in the opposite direction, to avoid either of us fighting each other. "In there is the mess hall" he pointed through a window. I looked down with curiosity to see the many clones, younger and older sitting around eating their lunches.

"Wow" I smiled at how they didn't seem to have a care in the world, not yet having been exposed to the war raging in the galaxy. A group of young clone cadets looked up with faces of shock and amazement as they spotted a Jedi General and Clone Captain fresh from the war. I waved down at the kids before Rex started us off again, continuing to show me around the facility's.

"Lyra, it's good to see you up and walking around" Shaak Ti smiled as she met us in the hallway. "Rex is showing you around I presume?"

"Yes" I nodded to her. "This place is truly incredible"

"Well, I'll let you both continue, I have a meeting with the council" With that the Jedi master was off again towards her office.

"Truly incredible? Huh?" Rex held in a laugh as he questioned my words.

"Incredibly creepy" I corrected, finishing my statement.

"That's fair" he nodded along.

~~~

"Miss Jayko, you are all set to return to Coruscant" Napa Se reported after another quick medical test.

"It's General Jayko" I corrected sternly, hopping off the table to walk out of the lab.

"Woah, slow your roll." Rex chased after me to catch up as I stormed down the hallway. "Since when do you correct people to use your rank?"

"Since Dr Nala Se seems to think I'm a child who can't care for myself" I pushed through the doors to our room and swiftly began packing my books.

"Our shuttle should be here in about twenty minutes" Rex announced.

"Thank the maker" I sighed, finally ready to go home and get away from Kamino. He simply laughed at my reaction before helping to pack up the few things we had taken.

"Next stop, Coruscant" Rex announced as I joined him in the cockpit, shuttle taking the jump to hyperspace.

~~~

"Lyra, you're back!" Anakin cheered as he entered the hallway of the Jedi temple to find me on my way to return my library books.

"Yeah, is there a mission?" I asked immediately, wanting desperately to go back to helping the war.

"Slow down there" he chuckled at my enthusiasm. "You just got back. I actually do need your help with something though"

"What is it?"

"The twilight broke down in battle, I have to go somewhere tonight and I was hoping that maybe you could check it out and see if you can fix it"

"Yeah, I'll fix it" I nodded to him.

"Great, here's everything you need to know" Anakin handed me a ship manual and was gone within a blink of an eye.

~~~

"Keep him quiet, will you?" Fives snapped at Jesse, the group of 501st troopers sneaking through the barracks. The 501st had convinced Rex to go to 79s with them and he had a few drinks. Unfortunately for all of them Rex had gotten drunk and they needed to get him back to the base quietly.

I had cleaned up the supplies after fixing the shuttle Anakin had told me was broken. I was just about to leave the barracks in the dark of the night when I heard voices approaching.

"Who's there?" I called out, standing to my feet and reaching for my sabers on my belt, not yet igniting the green blades.

"It's Jayko." Kix warned his brothers in a harsh whisper that I heard from where I was.

"Maybe if we stay quiet she won't find us" Jesse suggested with panic in his voice.

"I know your over there"

"Well, this is the end for us brothers" Tup sighed. I carefully moved towards the source of the voices, suspicion growing as I got closer and heard the voices clearly, knowing exactly who it was.

"Troopers, care to explain what you are doing wandering around the Barracks?" I placed my hands on my hips as I turned the corner and stood in front of them, blocking their path.

"Uh" tup started.

"I got this" Fives brushed past him and stood in front of me in a challenging way. "What are you doing in the Barracks, General?"

"I was fixing the gas line in one of the shuttles, someone has to keep that bucket of bolts together" I nodded towards the Twilight, Anakins shuttle. "So, care to tell me what you were actually doing?"

"We went out to 79s to celebrate our latest win" Kix finally told me the truth, just wanting to go to bed.

"General Jayko!"

"Rex?" My eyes went wide as I spotted the captain in the middle of the group, cheer out my name giddily. "What did you four do?" I demanded answers from the others who were clearly not as intoxicated as Rex.

"He wanted to have drinks with us" Fives tried even though he knew that I was smarter than that.

"Uh huh" I nodded, not buying it one bit as I glared at the clone named Fives, figuring this was his doing.

"Your lightsabers really bring out your eyes" Rex stepped up and grabbed my hands, holding them in his.

"Oh" I started blushing at the compliment, getting caught off guard as the troopers smirked to each other. I pulled my hands out of his grasp and moved him slightly to the side so that I could speak with the others. "Get him to bed now and don't get into any more trouble" I stared them all down intently, pointing a finger at them all. "And don't tell anyone about this, that's an order"

"Yes, sir" they all nodded in unison before directing the Captain away and towards their barracks.

~~~

"Uh General!" Rex called my name just as I was walking away from showing Anakin the Twilight.

"Yes, Captain?" I spun around on my heel to face him reluctantly.

"Could I talk to you?" He questioned in a more hushed tone. I gave him a small nod before he pulled me behind a wall. "Sorry, I just didn't wang anyone else to hear about this. I was wondering if I might have said anything to you last night that may have seemed strange?" He fiddled with his fingers and refused to look me in the eyes, odd for the captain of the 501st.

"Well last night I had finished fixing the gas line in the Twilight before I returned to the temple, so no I don't remember you saying anything strange" I shrugged with a glint in my eyes letting him know that I remembered what he had said, but also that I wouldn't tell anyone about it.

"Thank you, General" he walked off calmly towards his brothers who had been teasing him about it all morning. I sent a glare to the giggling clones and they all straightened up in fear.

~~~

"Gear up, we leave in 10" Anakin passed me on my way through the cruiser, walking backwards to speak to me.

"What?"

"We have a mission and we leave in 10 minutes" he repeated himself.

"Alright" I sighed, knowing that was all the information I would get out of him. I turned on my heel and followed Anakin who had now turned to walk straight ahead towards the hanger.  "Obi Wan, wanna fill me in on the mission?"

"Anakin was supposed to fill you in" my former master sighed, knowing how difficult Anakin could be sometimes. "We will be taking down a separatist force in the outer rim. Anakins plan was to set a trap with clone snipers and we will lure the droids back to where the defence is set up"

"Sounds good" I nodded, feeling more ready after hearing the plan.

"Lyra!" Ahsoka rushed over as she saw me. "It feels like forever since I've seen you" she pulled me in for a quick hug, a large smile on her face.

"I've missed you Ahsoka, how have you been?"

"Oh you know, taking down Seppies with Skyguy" she shrugged.

"Good" I smiled to her before we moved onto the gunship to be taken to the planet below.

Upon landing our team got onto our speeders and went to find the separatist droids that had taken control of the planet.

"This is it" Anakin started, looking over the wall we had been using to hide behind. "Time to get their attention" the Jedi knight rushed out on his speeder. "Hey! Over here!" He called, getting the droids attention.

"Get them!" They chased after us as we sped back to the trap our troopers had set up in our absence.

"No, no, no,no,no!" I groaned, my speeder bike failing as it had been shot.

"Lyra!" Ahsoka panicked as she sped by and noticed my flaming speeder slowing down. I jumped off and rolled roughly in the dirt, slowing down from the speed. My bike on the other had crashed into a nearby wall and went up in flames.

"General!" Rex called as he sped towards me. Reaching a hand out he quickly pulled me up onto his speeder to sit behind him. "I've got you" he promised. "Now, hold on" he ordered, continuing to follow the others in our escape back to the trap we had set up for the separatist.

"Thanks" I caught my breath and held on tight, looking over my shoulder to see the separatists following us. Pulling over our barrier line the speeder pulled to a halting stop and we both hopped off, rushing to take cover.

"Lyra, are you okay?" Ahsoka rushed to check on me, worry clear on her features.

"I'm fine, thanks to Rex" I smiled over at him briefly.

"We've got clankers incoming!" A trooper warned everyone as we all took our positions, taking cover. We had snipers set up on roofs to shoot down the droids from a distance as they closed in on us, but I watched as one sniper had been blown up in a blast delivered by a droid.

"Kriff" I muttered under my breath.

"We need another sniper!" Anakin called out, knowing this plan would fail if we didn't find another sniper fast.

"Where are we going to—?" Kenobi started to question when I cut him off.

"I've got this!" I told them with a sturdy nod. A trooper hesitantly tossed me a sniper, not knowing if this was part of the plan or not before I turned to Rex. "Can I get a lift?" I questioned.

"Yes, sir" he replied, cupping his hands in front of him. I ran towards him and jumped into his hands as he gave me a boost and pushed me into the air where I landed on a roof behind him, setting up my sniper in record time.

"Lyra, we could really use that sniper right about now!" Anakin shouted out.

"Bye bye, clankers" I taunted, shooting the spider droids down first for Anakin and Ahsoka to cut off the guns while I aimed for the battle droids next. I spotted a droid trying to sneak up on Ahsoka as she was busy dealing with others. With a quick pull of the trigger I took out the droid, Ahsoka turning in shock at the loud clatter of metal behind her. With a nod she thanked me silently as we continued to work together and take down the droid army.

"How did you do that? I didn't know you were a sniper?" Ahsoka started to question in awe at my skill when I had returned to the ground level after the battle.

"Well, really it's just simple math. I have read many books about the different weapons in the galaxy so learning to use the weapon wasn't difficult and the shots were all easily calculated" I started to ramble on with enthusiasm.

"Good work" Anakin cut me off, knowing if he didn't I would go on for hours talking about the math behind shooting. I gave him a smiled before we turned to the gunships that had returned to pick us up from the quickly finished battle. "Obi Wan is talking to the ruler of the planet while the troopers are going to help clean up the mess made by the droids." Anakin explained as we flew towards the cruiser above planet.

"Then why are we leaving? Shouldn't we be helping the clean up too?" I asked him.

"We have another mission to go on once Obi Wan returns."
