*oya means stay alive and mesh'la means beautiful.
You, Anakin, Ahsoka and the 501st are tasked with protecting Bothawui, a strategic planet from General Grievous. "Among our most recent losses was the battlegroup at Falleen. The separatist fleet commanded by General Grievous is headed your way." Obi-Wan finished explaining. "Seems like that coward always knows where and when to attack us." Anakin said angrily. "Your heavily outnumbered, Anakin I'd advise retreat." Obi-Wan pointed out. "If we run, the Separatists will take control of this sector. I can't let them do that."
Anakin expressed. "And that is your problem." Obi-Wan pointed out yet again. "Master Kenobi is right." Ahsoka voiced. You liked Ahsoka. She had energy, was a good Padawan, wasn't to reckless and she voiced her opinions. She still had a lot to learn still. "We should regroup. We don't stand a chance against--" "Ahsoka." Anakin tried to interject. "Suicide is not the Jedi way, master. Ahsoka finished. "Ahsoka and Obi-Wan have a point and if we do go through with this we should at least come up with a backup plan, instead of going in guns out and hoping for the best." You said, adding to what Ahsoka said with criticism.
"You should listen to your Padawan and General." Obi-Wan said. "As you listened to yours my old master? No, we are going to stay and fight." Anakin retorted. "And I think I know how to beat grievous at his own game." Anakin added. "here we go." You said sarcastically. As you walk through the bay area you walk side by side with Rex. "What do you think of our chances?" You asked Rex. "You're asking me sir?" He asked. You couldn't see his face because of the helmet, but he tipped his helmet slightly.
"No the wall. Of course you, I'd like to know your opinion on it." You asked. "Before I would have said 50/50 but since General Skywalker's addition to the plan I'd say we'd have a better chance now." Rex answered. "Good." You smiled. Rex probably needed to go do his part of the plan. "You probably need to go now." You said a bit disappointed. "yeah." Rex let out a small sigh. But right before he left you put your hand on his shoulder and said "Oya." "Right back at cha general." Rex said back. You both walked away to do your duties.
After Anakin successfully destroyed the malevolence warships with his brilliant plan and Rex, Anakin crashed his ship, but Rex was able to rescue him in time and brought him back on the cruiser. Now you, Ahsoka and Rex were all waiting for Anakin to wake up in a bright ass room. "What happened." Anakin groaned. "You owe Rexter your skin Skyguy." Ahsoka replied. "Just doing my job sir, It was your plan that saved the day." Rex said. "Don't be humble." You said while grinning. "Grievous is AWOL, but his fleet of tinnies is nothing more than spare parts." Ahsoka hummed with a huge smug grin plastered on her face. "Ah good work, both of you." Anakin said groaning still. "Hey!" You yelled.
"How could I forget you, Giganta." Anakin said with a lazy smirk. "I'm not even that tall I'm the same Height as Rex!" It was true though, you were the exact height as Rex, if at the most a few inches taller than him. You could hear Ahsoka laugh and Rex chuckle. "Any way where's R2- D2?" "I'm sorry, master. He's gone." Ahsoka said with a sad tone. Anakin sighed, he was obviously deeply sad about this, I mean he's known R2-D2 for a long time, it didn't matter if he was a droid, he's helped on a lot of missions and had a huge personality you were going to miss him.
"Congratulations Anakin, Your resourcefulness always amazes me." Obi-Wan said through the hologram. "Thank you, master." He said, words dripping with sadness. "You looked troubled." Obi-Wan observed Anakin's face. "I lost R-2 in the field." Anakin confessed. "Well, R2 units are a dime a dozen. I'm sure you'll find a suitable replacement." Obi-Wan expressed with no emotion. "I could take a squad out there, track him down!" Anakin offered with the hope of Obi-Wan's permission. "Anakin, It's only a droid." Obi-Wan said with surprise in his voice, no doubt to Anakin's sudden and surprising attachment; to a droid. "You know Jedi attachment is not acceptable for a Jedi." Obi-Wan scolded. "To be fair R2 had crucial information on him that made him incredibly valuable." You said in defense of Anakin. Obi-Wan raised a brow. "What do you mean by that (N)." Obi-Wan questioned you. "How do I put this? I didn't wipe R2's memory." Anakin said reluctantly. "What? He's still programmed with our tactics and base locations? If the separatists get a hold of him... What possessed you not to erase the droid's memory?" Obi-Wan questioned Anakin. Ahsoka spoke up. "Master Obi-Wan, sometimes R2 having that extra information has come in handy." Good job Ahsoka, coming in for the save. "Well then find that droid, Anakin. Our necks might very well depend on it." Obi-Wan ordered. "Right away master." Anakin said in excitement.
"Ready to go snips?" Anakin asks "master they just delivered your replacement astromech droid. This is R3-S6. I've heard that the new R3s are far faster in thinking skills and more powerful than the old R2 units." Ahsoka informed Anakin. "And best of all, master, he's gold. A gold droid for a gold leader of gold Squadron." Ahsoka added laying it on thick. "You can't replace R2." Anakin said as he walked on to the ship. "Do you guys need me to come with you?" You asked. "If you want to sure.... or you can stay here with Rex." Anakin said with a grin. You blushed. Why would he ask you that? The new astromech did give you an odd feeling, but on the other hand Rex was here and you can establish a professional relationship with him. "I think I'll hang back." "mm hmm." He hummed as he walked on to the ship.
As soon as they leave you look for Rex. You walk around looking for the captain in the bay area. You sat down on some boxes and think for a moment. Why are you looking for Rex? Was this weird to purposely search for him, But before you could finish your thought you could feel something through the force, something that's warm and shines like a massive star. You soon realize this aura in the force is Rex. You also realize he's right behind you. You turn to look at him and a smile graces your lips. You become aware of the fact that you've just been staring at him with a smile and with the force can feel a warm yet uncomfortable feeling radiating off of him.
"Umm hi, did you need something, Rex?" You asked, cheeks growing extremely warm. The warm and fuzzy feeling becoming ever so present. Why were you blushing so much? "Just trying to preoccupy myself, while waiting for General Skywalker and Commander Tano to come back." Rex answered. "Do you want to converse with me while we wait for Anakin to come back?" You asked, trying to make eye contact with him, despite the helmet he had on and hoping he says yes. "Of course you are great company." Rex replied. You patted the seat next to you. "Tell me about your first time in battle."
As Rex sat down he told you about his first time on the field. You kept staring at the helmet, getting distracted by the fact that you couldn't see his face. "Rex." You said. "Yes, (N)?" Rex asked. "Can you take your helmet off? As dashing as it is, i would prefer to see your much more dashing face." You could feel an immense warm feeling coming off him. He swiftly and smoothly removes his helmet and sets it a side. He smiles and says "Alright mesh'la." In a husky voice. Hearing him call you beautiful in Mando'a and in such a husky voice made you blush, but of course this was just playful, friendly flirting, right? You and Rex talk for hours until Anakin and Ahsoka come back.
"We have to assume that R2 was destroyed in the explosion that claimed your ship." Obi-Wan concluded. "Yes master." Anakin said solemnly. "Our intelligence has confirmed that Grievous' spies have been intercepting our transmissions." Obi-Wan informed. "He must have some sort of secret listening post out there somewhere." Ahsoka chimed in. "That would explain how he's been able to ambush our fleets." Anakin said. "split up you squadrons, Anakin. Find that base and destroy it." Obi-Wan ordered. "It's as good as done, Master Kenobi." Ahsoka answered. "May the force be with you all ." Obi-Wan prayed as he hung up.
You all were in the main bay area getting ready to attack the base. "I'll sweep the outer corridor while the rest of your ships focus on the center." Anakin ordered. "Are you sure you want to go it alone?" Rex asked "Yeah I could always just go with you." You said aware of the hint of worry In your voice. "I'm sure. More than one fighter will just draw too much attention." Anakin had a point. "yes sir." Rex responded as he went to go to his own fighter. "I don't like this." You voiced. "Master you'll need a droid to help you navigate." Ahsoka stated, wanting to prove Goldies usefulness.
"I think stubby is defective." Anakin said bitterly. "give him another chance, master." Ahsoka pleaded. "This is the perfect time for you and him to, you know bond." Ahsoka added with a small smile to seal the deal. "All right." Anakin gave in." "Come on stubby." You and Ahsoka walked down to the communications room. You could feel that Rex was in there already with his bright and shiny aura or as you called it his halo. "May the force be with you, master." She prayed. You lightly rubbed her back for reassurance. Ahsoka gives you a small smile back.
"That's Master Skywalker's tracking beacon. What's he doing?" Ahsoka asked. "Good question." You responded. It was probably the droid messing up again. "Rex, get a hold of as many men as you can." Ahsoka commanded Rex. "Right away, sir!" Rex did as he was told and started to round up the men. Ahsoka was clearly worried about Anakin. You didn't like this. "We should head out now, if we want to save Anakin in time." You said to Ahsoka. Ahsoka nods in agreement. You, Rex and Ahsoka go into a small ship to save Anakin.
"Cargo bay doors open. You better get inside." Ahsoka told Anakin. "I'd love to, but R3's having a problem with the engines." Anakin said simmering with anger. "Let's give him some cover, boys." Ahsoka ordered. "Yes sir." Rex obeyed. You took control of a vacant ship blaster and fired away. "I'm inside. Now let's get out of here, Ahsoka." Anakin ordered. "Let's move." You ordered. "power it up Rex. We're going right between those tin cans." Ahsoka confidently said with a slight smirk. Your ship went through the separatist cruisers with barely any room to do so. "Hit it Rex." Ahsoka ordered. Your ship immediately zoomed off into hyperspace and quickly left the battle. "Hey, Goldie! What did you think of your first adventure?" Ahsoka asked. "I'll tell you what I think, I think I'm lucky to be alive!" Anakin interjected. You could feel his boiling anger. "Great, now you hurt his feelings." Ahsoka said reprimanding Anakin. "His feelings! What about R2! He's still out there. I know it." Anakin argued. With that, you zoomed away into further space.
