Seven years later...

Hood stood ready for Nion's attack. Hood smiled he knew that Nion was the only one who could take him down or sneak up on him. He smiled and glanced around there was no sight of him, then suddenly he felt something hit his head and he was once again doused in water. He turned to see Nion sitting on a tree branch smiling.

"Really? A water balloon again?" Hood asked in a playfully stern voice. "What happens the day you run out of water balloons?" He then asked his little brother.

"Heaven forbids," said Nion putting a hand over his heart. Hood chuckled and folded his arms.

"You coming down here?" He called up to the 16-year-old Nion who just stayed perched on the branch. "Hey. I'm crazy not stupid." Nion said brushing away some of the hair that fell in front of his face.

"There is a difference?" Asked Hood.

"Yep!" He said smiling mischievously. He then shot two wires that wrapped around another tree. He swung to the next tree and through another water balloon at him. Which was a direct hit to his face. Hood scowled slightly, then Nion suddenly pounced on Hood. He tackled Hood to the ground and sat right on his chest. 

"Got ya!" Nion said laughing as he pretended to punch him. Hood held up his hands and blocked the punches. 

"Ok. Ok. You got me." He said laughing. 

"You mean I got you again," Hood said laughing. 

"You know something? You should laugh more and just go around like a stone statue." Nion said.

"Alright. I'll put that on my to-do list." He said sitting up causing Nion to fall off. Hood smiled at Nion. Suddenly Hood's comm went off, he sighed and pulled it out. He walked away a few feet and answered it. 

He listened to the voice on the other end and said, "Yes sir," He then hung up and walked back to Nion.

"I have to go euk'vod," He said ruffling his hair. Nion frowned then hugged him and said, "I'll let you go this time but you will be coming back soon in time for my birthday."

"Clones don't really have birthdays," Hood said.

"Well, no one said we can't so I learned the exact date I was made on and that day is my birthday and you will be getting me something." He stated. Hood laughed and smiled. "Ok. What do you want?"

"Hmmm." He said thinking. "I'll get back to you on that one." 

"Alright. See you when I get back." He said smiling at his little brother. 

"Right." He said smiling. 

A month later...

Nion and Hood were on a mission togeather. "Hood?" Asked Nion. 

"What is it Vod?" He answered looking at his brother. 

"You're not from Kamino are you." Nion said.

"How long have you known?" Asked Hood after a few moments of silence.

"I think I have always known. But I don't care, you still my ori'vod," He said hugging his older brother.  Hood smiled and hugged him back, "Thank you." He whispered. 

"Of course." He said. 

They then turned their attention back to the mission. They were walking and suddenly Hood heard a gun shot. He pushed Nion out of the way. The bullet hit the ground and Hood let his eyes turn to the gold. Even though it was hidden by his mask Nion knew what he did. 

Hood held up his gun and shot the man who fired at them, he didn't kill them though just made sure he was knocked unconscious. A few more shots came and Hood dodged them. But one hit him near the heart. He fell the ground, Nion rushed to his side. 

"I'm fine." He said groaning. He placed a hand over his heart and began to heal the wound. While Hood was doing this Nion was taking out the other guys with his blaster. 

"What no water balloons?" Hood asked.

"Yeah. I ran out." Said Nion with a smile. Hood chuckled and when he was done he said, "Ok. That took a lot of energy out of me, if I do any more I could die." he said.

"Okay then no more healing things for you." Nion said helping him up. 

((WARNING: FEELS AHEAD!))

Suddenly Nion's eyes widened and he pushed Hood to the ground just as a bullet ripped through his heart. 

"NION!" Hood called as he ran to his side. The man who had shot him ran away fast.

"Nion." Hood said again, this time, holding his little brother.

"Hood..." He coughed.

"I am right here, hang on I can help you," Hood said getting ready to heal him. Nion grabbed his hand and said, "No...you will die."

"But if I don't you will," Hood said.

"I know..., but I don't want you too. Please don't." He said cuddling closer to him.

"Okay," Hood said softly holding him close.

"Hood?" Nion asked weakly. "Today was my birthday...did you remember to get me anything?"

Hood laughed sadly, "Sorry euk'vod," He said.

Nion frowned and said, "Ok. Next time you better get me something good." 

"You bet, anything you want." He said.

"I am going to keep you to that promise." Nion said.

"I know you will," Said Hood stroking his brothers head.

"Hood? Can you do me a favor?" Nion then asked slowly. 

"What is it vod?" He asked.

"Can you stay with me till I fall asleep?" He whispered.

"Of course," Hood said cradling him closer.

"Ni kar'taylir darasuum gar ori'vod," Nion said.

"Ni kar'taylir darasuum gar mr euk'vod," Hood replied. Nion smiled and he closed his eyes and his body fell limp. Hood closed his eyes and began to cry. Something he never did before. He gently placed his body on the ground. He closed his eyes tightly and when he opened his eyes. They were a dark shade of golden, he stood up and turned his eyes and the man who killed Nion. The man suddenly fell to the ground screaming in pain. Hood appeared in front of him looking down at him coldly. The man looked up into Hood's eyes and he began screaming in pain again. He began to feel all the pain he caused everyone emotional and physical. Hood then narrowed his eyes slightly and the man just fell dead. 

Hood then walked back to bury his brother. Which he did. He then turned away making a promise to himself to always protect any other of his brother if he met them and he needed it. He swore it on Nion's grave which was more important than his life. Hood then reached into his pocket and took out Nion's gift, the one he was going to give him. He couldn't bring himself to give it to him as he died. He just shoved it back in his pocket.

Suddenly Nion's eyes opened and they were a shade of golden.
