You and Kaiden sat in silence as the ship flew through hyperspace. Kaiden glanced over at you, every few minutes to check on you, but other than that, you had no interaction with each other.
Finally, Kaiden looked over at you and spoke into the silence.
"What was his name?"
You looked at him.
"Who?"
"The clone," he said. "The one who saved you."
"Oh," you looked at the helmet. "Knot, his name was Knot."
"What was he?" Kaiden asked. "Was he just a normal trooper or did he have a higher rank?"
"He was the commander of the Kamino protection unit," you said.
"Sounds like a good clone," Kaiden said.
"The best," you agreed.
"So where are we going?" He asked.
"You'll see," you muttered.
Kaiden nodded and stayed silent for the rest of the ride.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the ship came out of hyperspace, you stared at the planet in front of you.
"Oh, this was a bad idea," you muttered.
"Why?" Kaiden asked.
"Once again, you'll see," you assured him.
Kaiden began to fly the ship towards the large planet in front of you.
As the planet got closer and closer, you got more nervous. As Kaiden flew over the forests, you watched the ground until you saw a small base filled with soldiers, one of which you recognized.
"Land over there," you told Kaiden, pointing to the base.
"Why not the city?" He asked.
"Just land there," you said.
"Whatever you say," Kaiden turned around and flew closer and closer to the ground until you felt a soft bump followed by the ramp opening.
"Let's go meet the soldiers," you said sarcastically, putting on your helmet.
"Okay," Kaiden said. "Do you know these guys?"
"I know a few," you said. "They might not remember me though."
"That's reassuring, what if they shoot us?" He asked putting his helmet on.
"You have a lightsaber, use it," you replied.
Kaiden chuckled as you walked into the light. One of the soldiers walked up to you and put a hand on his blaster.
"What do you want, Mando?" He asked.
"Figures," you said. "I doubted you'd recognize me with this on."
You took off your helmet and the soldier was taken by surprise.
"Hello, Saw," you said. "It's been a while."
Saw Garrera held out his hand and you shook it.
"Hey (y/n)," he said, still in shock. "It really has, but welcome back to Onderon."
"Who is this, (y/n)?" Kaiden popped his head out from behind you.
"Kaiden, this is Saw Garrera, one of the first Rebels on Onderon," you told your brother. "Saw, this is Kaiden, he's my brother."
"Nice to meet you," Saw shook Kaiden's hand.
"Back at you," Kaiden replied.
"How are your soldiers?" You asked.
"We were doing really well," Saw said. "But now the war is over, we can live in peace again."
"All the Jedi were killed," you said. "We're fugitives of the Republic."
"They were?" Saw was shocked. "Why? How?"
"I'll explain, but not here," you said looking at the other soldiers. "We should go somewhere else."
"Yeah," Saw agreed. "Come on."
You and Kaiden followed Saw to a small structure.
"This is new," you observed.
"Yeah," Saw said. "We got some upgrades."
You nodded and followed him inside.
When you entered the building, you looked around, eyes adjusting to the darkness. Your eyes finished adjusting and you looked around. In the middle of the room, there was a holotable. Saw stood next to it, and you and Kaiden joined him.
"So, fill me in," Saw said.
"After the Siege of Mandalore, I was supposed to head back to Coruscant, but when I arrived the clones were acting strange," you started. "I approached one of them and he shot at me. It was Skip, I knew him too."
"So you think someone told them to attack you?" Saw asked.
"It's just a guess, but yes," you said. "And I'm sure that the clones have no control over it."
"How do you know?" Saw asked. "You don't know, they could be doing it on their own."
"I do know," you said. "One of my best friends tried to kill me and I trusted him with my life. I discovered that each clone has a tiny chip in their brain that made them obey the order."
Saw stared at you before nodding.
"I trust you (y/n)," he said.
"Good," you said. "I'm just not sure if he will."
"It will be fine," Saw assured you. "Just don't piss him off again. Like last time."
"Fine, but to be completely honest, he always pissed me off first," you smirked.
"Who pissed who off first?" A familiar voice said as someone entered the room.
You crossed your arms and turned around, facing the young Senator.
"Hello, Senator Bonteri," you said.
"Commander Vizsla," Lux crossed his arms. "Rough battle?"
"You could say that," you said. "Rough speech?"
"You haven't changed," Lux noted. "At least you haven't punched me in the face yet."
"Don't test me Bonteri," you said.
"Of course not," Lux said. "I also heard from my sources that you and Ahsoka led an attack on Mandalore. Is that true?"
You looked at him, flashing a glare in his direction, before you looked down.
"Yeah," you said.
"Then where is she?" Lux asked. "Did you, lose her again?"
"Shut up Bonteri," you muttered.
"Isn't this like the fifth time?" He continued.
"Shut up!" You pushed him into the wall. "Don't talk about her ever again!"
"(Y/n), calm down," Saw said. "You're a Jedi."
"No I'm not!" You yelled. "Not anymore." You releases your grip on Lux and faced Saw and Kaiden before you fell to your knees.
"All of them," you whispered. "Their all gone, and there's nothing I can do."
Lux walked away from you and over to Saw who was watching you with concern.
"So shut up Bonteri!" You resumed yelling. "Shut up about her already! I'm sick of it!"
"What the hell happened to you?" Lux asked shocked.
"You wouldn't understand," you said as Kaiden helped you up and you left the building.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You sat on a crate and watched the soldiers talk among each other. Every now and then a soldier would walk pass you. They'd give you a nod of respect, and say "Commander," before walking away.
You noticed someone walk up to you and sit on a crate next to you. You looked at Kaiden and instantly looked away.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Sure," you said.
"You know I can use the force," he said. "I can feel your pain and anger."
"I don't have any pain, or anger," you said. "I just need some time."
A group of soldiers walked up to you slowly and handed you three ration bars.
"Commander Vizsla," one said. "Saw told us to bring you some food."
"Thanks," you said looking up. "And I'm not a Commander anymore, you don't have to call me that."
"Once a Commander always a Commander," another one said. "Have a good day, Commander."
"Thanks soldiers," you nodded to all of them as they walked away.
Kaiden watched you with curiosity as you took a bite out of a ration bar. You looked at him and handed him two of them, leaving one for yourself.
"Take one," he said.
"No," you argued.
"I only need one," Kaiden protested.
"I have no appetite, but I still have to eat something," you said, ending the conversation.
He looked down and you both sat in silence as you ate your food. Finally Kaiden broke the silence again.
"Why do they call you Commander?" He asked.
"Me, Rex, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka trained them to rebel against the Separatists two years ago," you explained. "I left early though, Ahsoka was there to finish their training."
Kaiden nodded and opened his mouth again.
"Let me guess," you said. "You've got more questions?"
"Yeah, actually," Kaiden said.
"Fire away," you said.
Kaiden nodded.
"What happened back there?" He asked. "Between you and Lux Bonteri?"
You shot him a look and threw your half-eaten ration bar over to an animal.
"Lux and I have a bad past," you said. "He did something to someone I know, and I will never forgive him for it."
"What did he do?" Kaiden asked curious.
"He kissed one of my friends," you said bluntly.
"Was it maybe, Ahsoka?" Kaiden guessed.
You sighed and nodded your head, still looking at the ground.
"Did Ahsoka have a problem with Lux after?" He asked.
"No, they were good friends, even afterwards," you said.
"Then why did it affect you so much?" Kaiden asked.
"He kissed her, Lux Bonteri kissed Ahsoka Tano," you grit your teeth.
"But you can't control Ahsoka's choices," Kaiden said. "She could kiss or date whoever she wanted, if the Jedi Order allows that kind of stuff."
"It's not allowed," you said. "But she couldn't kiss him."
"Why not?" Kaiden said trying to find an explanation in your eyes.
"That's enough," you got up. "Question time is over."
You turned around and walked away from your brother, as he watched you leave.
Yes I know, Lux is a big dick but it adds stuff to the story. So yeah, if you don't like it, sorry.
