Reaper POV

Droid 1: The clone went this way!

Droid 2: Blast em!

Laser bolts pass by my head as I quickly turned a hallway through the Separatist complex, red laser bolts flying past me making me greatly thankful that the clankers programming made them shoot like crap. My target identifier is still locked onto my objective as I soon turned a corner and popped back a droid popper as I remember what brought me here. Just several days earlier a strange energy reading has been detected and General Bultar Sawn wanted someone to check it out and if possible, destroy it. I honestly think that its pointless to send me to do it but a part of me had to agree with her decsion as a force needed to keep the forces outside busy. I quickly turned a corridor only to be greeted by three droids who all looked at me in surprise.

Droid 3: Ah, a clone!

Drone 4: What are you doing bla-

I raised my blaster carbine and fired at the three, turning them back into scrap metal. I soon continued to run as the metallic clank of my pursuers soon grew louder until I soon found the room where I have been told my objective is located. I quickly continued my momentum and smashed open the door with a grunt of pain escaping my lips before doing a quick combat roll to some cover. My pursuers came up soon behind me and I quickly dispatched them before getting up and moving again.

Me (thought): This better be Kriffing worth it.

I then came to a door and I quickly placed a blast charge and took a small step back behind some boxes as the charges blew the doors down. I soon saw a small squad of droids, three of them commando droids and one tactical droid in the center of the room with what seemed to be a control board. The tactical droid looked at me and tilted its head.

Tactical droid: Oh. It's a clone. Dispatch of him immediatl-

I quickly blasted its head off as the commando droids drew their vibroswords and rushed me. I smacked on of them with my blaster carbine, ripped its clanker head out, and drew my own viproblade to meet with the other two. The second one tried to stab me but I quickly did a Mandolorian Core counter and ripped apart its torso before throwing it's body at the last droid. It soon recovered and tried to attack however I dodged and grabbed its head before slamming it on the ground. A crack is heard and I quickly made sure the job was finished by stabbing the main circuits in the head and neck with my vibroblade. I then looked at the remaining droids who where still trying to get their blasters. They looked up and saw I was coming for them next.

Droid 5: Oh no.....

I sheathed my viproblade before drawing my blaster pistols and popping off the droid's heads, its body clattering on the ground as I put back my pistol. I then made my way to the center of the room and started to look through the data controls. Nothing unusual, just the normal data you would expect from a place like this.

Me (Thought): Now lets see what you're hiding....

I quickly hacked into the database and began to read through the documents as I then pressed another button on the control board. At first nothing happened but then I heard a loud pop and I whirled around to see a large green vortex in the corner of the room.

Me: That wasn't there before...

Suddenly it begins to contort and I knew my time was running out. I planted some explosives on the control board and began to make a run for it. I exited the door and ran down the hallway until I came up to a small hanger space. I scanned for vehicles and soon found a Vulture droid on the ground walking around, seemingly ready to launch.

Me: How convenient.

I ran and jumped onto it as I began to rip out the wires, I've see some of the other clones do this and I hope that the clanker I got wasn't a faulty. Then I heard the pop again and I soon saw the green vortex coming closer. It's now or never. I yanked the wires and the Vulture droid soon shot up. I then looked back to make sure I got enough distance before pulling out the detonator with a smile on my face.

Me: Boom.

I clicked the detonator and a loud whoosh is heard as the explosives did their work. Then I felt a weird tingle as I continued to fly away from my objective. It started small inside my head however it was growing quickly as I soon felt it throughout my body.

Me: What in the name of the Chancellor?

Suddenly I felt a strong yank pull me off my feet and I soon found myself falling to the ground. I quickly launched my grapple hook however a blinding light came up from behind me and soon everything went dark.










???: AAAAAAHHHHHH

Me (thought): Oh great, is this hell? Is this what I get for being atheist?

Suddenly I heard a loud roar and I my eyes shot open. I got up and looked around myself.

Me: A cave?

I got up and I realized I still had all my gear and equipment. I checked my ammunition. Full. I checked my blasters. Also full. Strange.

Then I heard the scream again and I quickly began to run toward the noise. As I got closer I also began to hear heavy footsteps and I began to run faster. Whatever was making those footsteps must be big. Soon I made my way to a small passageway and I heard more footsteps. This time there where smaller but I didn't let my guard down. I drew my blasters and pointed at where the noise was coming from. Then a young boy came running past me, covered in blood. He continued to run as I looked at him perplexed.

Me: This is already a very strange day.....

I then put my blaster down and started to follow the trail of blood left by the young boy. I soon made my way to a weird staircase and I went up. Soon I began to see other people, but not just people. There where short people, people with large ears, giants, and so much more. However they where all somewhat human.

Me: Well this is something I never thought I would see.

As I pass them by they gave me a look of awe and confusion. I ignored them and continued to make my way up the stairs. Then I saw a huge light and I covered my eyes as my pupils dilated. But when they did, I was in shock at what I saw.

Me: By the Republic...

I found myself seeing a city with very high walls, however the actual buildings are dwarfed by the huge structure I came out of. I looked in awe as I began to wonder one thing.

Me: Where am I?
