《A Glitch In The Matrix》25: The Return
Advertisement
Evie let out a surprised yell as the building shook as she approached the entrance. She didn't let it stop her from running with Ahsoka and the younglings through the chaos of blaster fire. They made it to the speeder that R2 had hijacked and used the blaster to shoot some droids. She noticed that Katoono wasn't with them and hoped that she was safe with Hondo.
They followed Hondo through the canyons, but were forced to go in a different direction than him when Grevious attacked. Evie stood near the back of the speeder, her blasters at the ready in case any droids came up behind them. She nearly fell off when they started swerving from the left to the right before doing a full loopy loop. She grabbed on, but was forced off when they crashed into the ground.
As Evie got to her feet, she noticed her blasters a few feet in front of her. She grabbed them, and put then in their respective spots before turning to see if she could find any of the others in the dust cloud from the crashed speeder. As the dust settled she noticed the younglings and Ahsoka facing off Grevious, who's back was turned to her. She immediately pulled out her blasters and was ready to shoot him, when a ship rose up from behind them.
"Hondo", she smirked and started shooting at Grevious whilst running toward him. The cyborg turned toward her, swinging a lightsaber at her. She dodged and made her way to the Jedi. They started running to the ship, while Ahsoka faced off with Grevious. As soon as Evie reached the ship, she turned to watch as Ahsoka leaped over Grevious and with the calls of the youngling, ran toward them. As soon as Ahsoka was on board the hatch shut, and Evie let out a deep breath.

Ahsoka looked over at her before moving into the cockpit. The younglings followed after her. Evie remained where she was, knowing that where they were going next may very well be the end of her life as she knew it. She sat down against the wall, and wrapped her arms loosely around her knees. She stared blankly at the wall across from her, not really thinking of anything.
"You're scared, aren't you?" Katooni said, startling Evie. The clone looked up, and she smiled sadly.
"I am", Evie whispered, looking into the young girl's eyes.
"Why?"
Evie frowned. "Multiple reasons. I'm scared because I know what my punishment for deserting is, and I'm scared because... well, the man I love will most likely be on the ship we're going to. The last time I saw him, he was trying to hunt me down and turn me in."
Katooni sat next to Evie. "Is he a clone, like you?"
Evie smiled sadly. "He is."
"But wouldn't that make him your brother?"
The female clone shook her head. "No. He was cloned from a bounty hunter named Jango Fett. I was cloned from the Jedi who requested the clones be created. That's why I'm able to utilize the Force."
Katooni frowned. "Oh. That makes sense, I guess."
Evie nodded and looked up as Ahsoka approached them. With a quick word to Katooni, the youngling left them. Ahsoka sat next to Evie.
"I heard you talking to her", she said quietly. "Are you going to be alright?"
Evie nodded. "I have to be. For the younglings. For myself. For... for Rex."
Ahsoka smiled, but was unable to say anymore as the ship jolted as it landed.
"We're on your master's cruiser, aren't we?"
Ahsoka shook her head. "Master Kenobi was closer, so we're on his instead."

Evie let out a breath of relief. "Well that's a little better. Not by much, but better. I don't think I could face Rex just yet."
Ahsoka gave her a gentle smile as the hatch opened. The younglings were the first ones out, followed by Hondo and his men. Ahsoka stood up, and walked out, beckoning to Evie.
Evie hesitated, but stood and walked out as well. She looked around at the unfamiliar, yet familiar surroundings. A sense of nostalgia washed over her as she looked around. She saw General Kenobi talking to Hondo, with a familiar white and yellow armored man standing behind the general. She saw him tense when he saw her and she gave him a soft smile.
She made her way over to the trio, just as Hondo started walking away.
"Evie?" General Kenobi asked, a surprised look on his face.
"General Kenobi", she greeted. "Commander Cody."
Cody pulled off his helmet, and stared at her. "Evie, what are you doing back here?"
Evie sighed. "Believe me, I didn't want to come back, especially when Ahsoka told me what my punishment is to be. But I think I'd rather that being forced to serve Hondo for the rest of my life."
Cody sighed. "I'm going to have to arrest you, you know."
Evie nodded as she handed her blasters over to Cody. "I know. I also know that I've been accused of treason to the Republic and have been sentenced to death. I assume that will happen back on Coruscant."
Cody nodded as he pulled his helmet over his head. He turned her around and handcuffed her. He moved her toward the younglings, who all watched as she was willingly moved to the brig. As she passed them, she gave them a sad smile.
"Be good for your Masters, alright?"
They all nodded and she closed her eyes for a moment before continuing to the brig. She could feel the clones who knew her staring and she could sense their feelings of sadness. As she entered the brig, she spoke to Cody.
"Do you know who will be carrying out my sentence?" she asked. "I know it will be a clone because the Jedi wouldn't do that."
Cody didn't say anything until she had entered her cell and turned around. He pulled his helmet off, and Evie frowned at his sad eyes.
"I don't know who it is, but I have my suspicions."
Evie closed her eyes. "Who do you think it's going to be?"
Cody shook his head. "I don't want to tell you until I know for certain."
"You promise you will tell me?"
Cody nodded, and Evie sat on the bench at the back of the cell.
"Thank you, Cody."
"Of course", he said, about to close the door. "Evie? I'm sorry."
With that the door closed, and Evie was left to her own thoughts.

Grand Design
Humanity once ruled space, building an empire that stretched across hundreds of stars. Now Earth is a cold cinder in the void, its colonies and ships annihilated in an instant. For five thousand years the surviving races have huddled in the dying light of those few stations which avoided total destruction, eking out their existence in the shadow of the long-dead humans who built their homes. When a piece of that lost legacy resurfaces, the few who still remember humanity have one last opportunity to find the truth and avenge the fallen.

8 80Phantom Storm
"Have you heard, the entire Bonanno crew was brutally murdered!" Exclaimed a youth in his early teens. "What? you're lying, again!" Another similarly aged child responded with crisp denial in his tone. After all, the crew was infamous for their ruthlessness. An eery silence passed between them. Soon enough, the teens' curiosity trumped his ego, and he found himself inquiring in a meek voice. "So...Who did it?" "I heard my father talking about it while he was drunk. Guess what he said?..." The child responded, he was a natural-born storyteller. Listening intently, the other teen urged him on. "It was done by a single person. When the police arrived, the bodies were charred black, likely the work of an electro mage. Most had an arrow or two lodged in their body, and a few were even chopped into neat little slices by a sharp blade." He paused, inhaling sharply. "All the victims had shocked expressions on their faces. As if the enemy was invisible or something. That's why they call that person the Phantom Storm!" concluded the adolescent with an excited glint in his eyes. 2 CHAPTERS PER WEEK (Canada time) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] -------------------------------------------- Follow Itsuki as he is reincarnated in an unfamiliar world, left to discover where he belongs in such a place.

"You ever wake up and just know that day is gonna be f****d?" Our protaganist is dealing with what we like to call, "Summoned Hero Syndrome", its when someone is kidnapped to an alternate reality/world/plane/or dimension and they start to narrate their life as if its a book. This is a story of his minds auto-biography. A story of action, adventure, intrigue, gore, comedy, videogames, references, and possible sexy fun times. A.N: This is my first story and possibly my only one and it may never become finished. Please excuse any spelling and grammar mistakes. Im doing this on my phone and i hate the small ass keypad. Hope you enjoy readings and even if i may not like it feel free to give your opinions and CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISMS. I dont care for those who are being assholes that are non-helpful. I only care for the people who are helpfull. So if ur a smartass be so while helping. Also idk if im gonna add a harem. Some stories should have em while others shouldnt cause they cause a huge detraction, hope im using that right, from how good a book can be.
