《Sure Thing, Commander ✔︎》9

Dogma smirked at Rex, then walked away from his cell. Rex roared in anger and punched the cell door. He winced in pain and shook his hand, but he still was fuming with rage. He sulked over to the corner of his prison cell and sat down. He ran a hand through his blonde hair, which had become considerably longer over time. Still, it was short and didn't fall over his forehead.
He took the time to examine his cell. To his left was the cell door and a miserable sink that was rusted and a mustard yellow around the edges. Next to the sink was a hole in the ground which Rex guessed was the toilet. To his right was a steel slab, which was supposed to be his bed. He groaned and buried his face in his knees. If only Ahsoka was here.
She would somehow cheer Rex up, he just knew it. She would cuddle next to him and run a delicate hand over his face. She would tell him everything was gonna be alright and Rex would believe it. He yearned for her to be with him, but not in these conditions. He couldn't imagine her here. He didn't want to.
The sounds of mouse droids and voices over the intercoms filled Rex's ears. He groaned, plugging his ears with his fingers. Compared to Kashyyyk everything was so loud, announcements were blaring and ships rumbled. Yeah the animals were loud but this was different. Rex suddenly heard officers approaching and he hatched a plan.
"Who's in there?" a clone asked.
"Captain Rex" another mumbled.
"What? Why?"
"He apparently disobeyed Order 66 and betrayed the republic"
"Never thought he would do that"
Rex began to cough, so violently he put his hands around his throat. The troopers noticed this and peered at him through the cell door.
"What's going on in there?!" the clone yelled.
Rex coughed even more and stumbled around his cell. He fell backwards and shook vigorously. The clones began to panic. They were falling right into Rex's trap.
"What do we do?!" One asked, "He's got to be alive for the general!"
"We gotta help him then," another replied.
They both opened the door and rushed over to Rex. They pulled him up to his feet just as Rex stopped his act.

"What the-" a clone started.
"Thanks soldiers" Rex said with a sly grin, "You did all the work for me"
He elbowed one in the face, causing him to fall backwards. The other took out his blaster but Rex tripped him with his leg. The clone dropped his blaster and Rex snatched it up. He set it to stun, then shot the two troopers.
"Ahsoka are you there?" Obi wan asked.
Ahsoka darted over to the transmitter and accepted the message with the small hologram of Obi wan in sight.
"I'm here General Kenobi," she said with a sigh, "It's good to see you"
Obi wan smiled, "Good to see you too. I'm glad you're alright"
"Master Kenobi, I'm sorry to rush in but Anakin-" Ahsoka choked on her words.
A grim look passed over Obi wan's face, "He's gone Ahsoka"
Ahsoka let out a small yelp. Her heart felt like it was torn apart and the sinking feeling in her chest grew only larger.
"It turns out the Chancellor was the sith lord we were looking for" Obi wan said, stroking his beard, "He convinced Anakin to turn to the Dark side. Now Anakin is his apprentice, and he changed his name to Darth Vader"
This confirmed the visions Ahsoka had. A shiver ran down her spine and she rubbed her arms. Just the name put terrible thoughts into her mind. What would her former master do now that he had turned? She could hardly imagine the horrors he would do. Obi wan opened his mouth to speak then shut it again. There was a moment of stale silence which Ahsoka didn't like one bit.
"Do you know of any other Jedi that survived?" Obi wan asked with worried eyes.
Ahsoka shook her head, "And you?"
"Yoda, but I'm afraid that's it" he muttered, crossing his arms.
"Then that means" Ahsoka started, "All the other Jedi...are dead"
Obi wan nodded with a dark look and Ahsoka bit her lip. She couldn't believe that just a couple days ago everything had been normal. The Jedi were helping to bring the galaxy closer to peace and Ahsoka had been trying to help. Now everything was different. Obi wan, Yoda, and her were the only Jedi left. The Empire had begun to slowly take over, planet by planet. Worst of all Anakin, the one who was supposed to bring peace, and the war to an end, had joined the Empire. Things couldn't get any worse.

"I must be going, it turns out Senator Amidiala was pregnant with twins." Obi wan explained, "While Senator Organa has taken the girl, I must take the boy to a place where no one will find him"
"May the Force be With You" Ahsoka said.
"You too" Obi wan replied.
The hologram faded and Kenobi disappeared.
Rex dragged the clones to the corner of his cell and took off one's armor. He put the armor on and took the gun, creeping out of the cell.
"Sorry men" he muttered.
Rex put the helmet on, gun in his other hand. He retraced his steps to the landing area and glanced from behind a corner. There were clones everywhere, some of them Rex recognized. He spotted Wolffe, Gregor, and Cody. He sighed, knowing that if they caught him they would turn him in. Even though they were some of his best friends. Their inhibitor chips had other plans.
Rex slowly began to walk out from his hiding place and to the landing hanger. He seemed to blend right in, no one talked or even looked at him. Part of him liked this, but he was used to being a Commander. He was so used to his men greeting him or saluting him when he walked by. This was just...weird.
Rex looked around and spotted a LAAT gunship. It was the last of its kind. All the other ships were new to Rex. He only knew a little bit about flying, but figured he could escape on the gunship. He began to make his way towards the ship, hoping not to draw any attention to himself. So far so good.
Suddenly a message boomed over the intercoms, "ATTENTION PRISONER CT-7567 HAS ESCAPED. PLEASE BE ON HIGH ALERT AND REPORT TO A GENERAL IF YOU FIND HIM"
Then the chaos hit. Clones took off running in every direction. Commanders were shouting orders, little droids zoomed around, and everyone started the search. Rex needed to get out of here now. Luckily his own escape might be the perfect distraction. He hoped that no one would be paying attention to the ships. Then he could fly off without anyone knowing.
He dashed to the gunship and hopped into the pilot seat. Rex took one look at the controls and immediately regretted his decision. He didn't have a clue how to fly the ship. He took off his helmet and tossed it behind him.
"This one's gotta be it" he mumbled pushing a red button.
The ship fired, destroying a nearby shuttle. Rex winced hoping no one heard the explosion. He pushed another button and the ship fired up. His ears perked to the sound of yelling and clones began to rush in.
"There he is!" a clone shouted.
They all began to open fire and the bullets hit the ship. Rex pushed a lever forward and the ship began to fly towards the exit.
"Come on" Rex grumbled, "Come on!"
The troopers brought out a large gun that needed to be held up by a stand. They loaded it up and aimed it at the ship.
"Not good!" Rex yelled, forcing the lever forward.
"Aim!" a general shouted.
The ship jolted forward and Rex laughed, on the edge of hysteria. He was about to reach the exit. He was gonna do it. He was gonna get off this ship and go back to Ahsoka.
"Fire!"
He heard a loud BOOM and felt the impact as something huge hit the side of this ship.
"NO NO NO!" he cried.
The gunship started to spin out of control, knocking ships to the side, and nearly hitting the troopers. Rex yanked the lever to the side, stopping it from spinning. The side of the ship was on fire, that was never good. The ship spun some more before ricocheting off the wall, and crashing in front of the large army of clones.
It came to a screeching stop and Rex slumped down in his seat defeated. The clones made their way to the ship, surrounding it. Rex slowly got out, his hands raised in the air. He made his way over to the clones hanging his head.
"Don't move!" a clone cried.
He stopped walking and the trooper closest to him tackled Rex, pinning him to the ground. Rex grunted as the clone tore his arms out from under him and forced them behind his back. He heard footsteps and looked up to see Dogma coming towards him.
"Well I guess I've underestimated you" he growled, "I assure you it won't happen again"

Hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to my first attempt at writing a novel. I am preparing to participate in the 2017 NaNoWriMo event so enjoy the first chapter as that's here early only to ensure that I have a place to post once the event starts. This means the first novel/book will have a target of 50,000 words. I'm excited to attempt this challenge despite the hurdles I will have to overcome. I do have a demanding full time job so planning time to write and make weekly releases starting in November will be my biggest challenge. Also, please accept my apologies on my cover. I'm not an artist and the only digital tool available at my disposal is the stock microsoft paint. So I did my best to create a decent cover as I did not want to steal the work of another. If there are those interested by the end of November in donating a new fan made cover then I will look into replacing the old cover.
