Happier

Umbara pt.2

Ahsoka's POV

Over the next few months it was almost non stop fighting and I could tell the entire 501st absolutely hated Krell. I continued to save everyone I could and kept the 501st as safe as I can. The punishments I get from Krell where nonstop. I had gotten used to it now and I don't feel as sore when I wake up anymore. That is the worst thing to know is that my body is now used to getting Krell's punishments. I would have never thought this would happen to me. 

One day as I was dragged out of my room with Krell I couldn't help but have a feeling that today something would go wrong. I shake off the feeling. Today Krell decided that I would be spying on the separatists and report back on where they are. I am heading out now and I have found the Separatists are and they are marching our way. I notice something off though. They did not look like droids. I decide to investigate more and of them notices me. Except instead of trying to shoot me they take off what looks like a helmet. 

They where clones. 

" Commander what are you doing here" one asks. " What are you guys doing here?" I ask. " We where told that the separatists where dressed up like clones and that we where to infiltrate them." another pipes up. That is when I realize that Krell was setting them all up to kill each other. " The pretend clones you where told to kill, are actual clones. They where told that you guys where separatists" I say. I can tell the clones where in shock but they believed me. " So the General was setting us up?" a clone asks. I nod my head. We come up with a plan. they are going to come back to base with me and I told them to keep their helmets off. 

Once we get back to camp I run to find Rex. Once I find him I tell him about everything. How they where being set up and how they would have gone in and killed other clones. He believes me and Tells me he had a feeling that something wasn't right about this mission. We end up telling the other clones and we get a group together to go and arrest Krell. I found evidence about a few different things. I found out that the separatists base here was actually quite small and will be easy to take out. All of the separatists we had been fighting where reinforcements that where sent in. They had been taken out now and there isn't too many droids left to take out. We put a clone in charge and he takes some other clones to take out the base. 

While they do that the group of clones and I head into the command center to arrest Krell. Once we get there Krell is facing the wall with his back to us. I nod to the clones and they surround Krell. " General Krell you are relieve of your duty." rex says standing next to me. I apprehensively put my hands on my lightsabers just in case. He turns around and faces Rex and I. " It's treason them" he says. Rex pulls out his pistols and aims them at him. " Surrender General" Rex says. 

" Your committing mutiny Captain" Krell says. I can tell Rex is becoming more mad. " Explain your actions of ordering your troops against one another" Rex says. Krell doesn't say anything more. He pulls out his lightsabers and jumps for Rex. I am quick enough to pull out my lightsabers and block his attack. Rex runs out from behind me and joins the other clones. Krell backs off for a second, " Padawan, I thought you had gotten it into your head to not go against me" he says, going in for another attack. I block it, " I thought you got it in your head that I don't always follow orders" I say going in for an attack of my own. He blocks it and we end up going back and forth, exchanging blows. The clones back up to give us more room. 

It is a little harder to fight him with my cloak on. I decided I need to take it off so I push Krell back, leaving me enough time to quickly throw my cloak off. It honestly feels good to get fresh air. I can tell that Rex and some of the clones seem worried about me when they see my cuts and bruises. I don't care though, I need to focus on arresting Krell. He charges me this time and I block his blow but he is using anger to fuel himself so his blows keep getting harder and harder. All of a sudden I fell like my throat is closing up and I am lifted off the floor. 

I realize that Krell is force choking me and I can't make him stop. I drop my lightsaber to the floor and try to get him to stop. Nothing is working. I notice out of the corner of my eye that Rex was running towards Krell but before he reaches him a shot ring out. It went right through Krell's chest. I drop to the ground coughing and gasping for air. Rex runs over to me and makes sure that I am okay. I wave him off though and grab my lightsabers, standing up. I see a clone named dogma, standing behind Krell's body with a smoking blaster. 

I let the clones put handcuffs on Krell and drag him off. While they do that a clone comes to get me and says that the other clones destroyed the separatists base and that the Council is calling. I nod and head off to the command center. Once I get there all of the Master's look at me and seemed surprised to see me instead of Krell. " Padawan, where is Master Krell?" Mace asks. I sigh, " Earlier today I was told to spy on the separatists and found out that they where clone in disguised. They where ordered by Krell to kill the 501st who they where told where Separatists dressed up. He basically ordered his own men against each other. We went to arrest him, he had turned to the dark side. He tried to kill me and the other clones. They had no choice but to shoot him" I say. They take a minute to take what I just said all in. They start to discuss what to do. " Come back to the temple you will Padawan, ready to become a knight you are. Bring the clones with you." Yoda says. I nod and they end the transmission. 

I walk back to my quarters to grab my things. I ordered my clone captain to get everyone loaded up on the gunships and up to the cruiser. I get on a gunship with a few other clones and the gunship is completely silent. Once we arrive on the cruiser I head to the Brig and once I arrive they cruiser goes into light speed, heading to Coruscant. I spend most of my time just watching the blue flecks that I see every time we go to lightspeed. I always felt like it calmed me down. 

I stand there a little longer than I decide to head to my quarters. I decide to take a shower to wash out my cuts. I get in the shower and just stand there as the warm beads of water run down my face. I haven't had a warm shower in forever. Once I have finished with my shower, I grab a first aid kit that is under the sink. I grab bandages, a needle and thread, and bacta gel. I stitch my bigger cuts and put bandages on them, and I use the bacta gel for the smaller cuts and bruises. 

Once I am done I feel fresh and my cuts don't burn as much as they used to. I get dressed again and I try to lay down and sleep but I feel restless. When I get back to the temple I will become a Jedi knight.
