"I'll give the order when I give it, Sargent Abow."

"Master they're dying! Shouldn't we go and help them?"

"No! We stay here. We're more important. They're just clones."

"Master Krell, if I may. I agree with Caleb. If we lose all our clones now we won't be effective during the front siege." She fortified with a tightened fist. One of which Caleb had also done little to replicate.

"CT-7567, where are you?"

"General Krell, we've come up with a plan to infiltrate the air base."

"What is your plan?" Caleb beamed, astounded by the fact that Krell's 'strategic planning' was finally advancing with adequate effort. Though his gaze was excessively aroused from the penance stare of Master Krell.

"I've dispatched two men on a stealth incursion into the air base. They've been ordered to co-ox star fighters, and use them against the tanks."

Barriss started, "That's a good plan, Captain. Ensure that..."

"You what? You put this entire assault on your hope, that two clones can do what your entire group cannot?"

"Sir, the rocket launchers don't work on these tanks. And it'll be easier to slip by undetected while the rest of us keep the tanks occupied."

"What if Caleb and I were the ones performing this stealth incursion?"

"Fine. Hurry, Padawans!"

"And Captain, you will launch a full forward assault immediately, or you will be relieved of duty."

"Caleb, let's go."

Where they dashed with discreet disguises, Barriss undoubtedly forced to intervene his snippiness from time to time. Though she barely blamed the boy, he was after all frantically sombre in his vivid rush towards their clones. Not to mention the perceptible persecute he's been through on his first battle. Which was indubitably worse than his supposed thoughts and penchants of war.

"Ahh." He bantered, sliding onto the hard ground.

"What is it?"

"My ribs or something. I'm not sure what it is this time."

"I'll slow you down, Barriss. Go on without me. I'm not gonna make it."

"Bollocks." Barriss sighed, before ambitiously draping him onto her arms.

"Karabast! Not again."

"Caleb Dume! Where in the world did you hear that word?" She snared, as her legs cumulatively drove her towards the assault.

"I'm 12, Barriss. Of course I've heard of them. But put me down!"

"All right, we're here." She got him on the floor.

"Commander."

"Captain Rex." They nodded, deflecting multiple shots.

"Come on, get back."

"But what about those men?" Caleb exclaimed.

"Exactly, Rex." Kix remarked, patching up a wound from Tup.

"Commander, wait!" Tup apprehended, eying the reckless padawan who was impulsively dashing towards the wounded on the battlefield.

"Caleb!" Barriss gasped, "Get back here!"

Though to no avail, the compassionate padawan had already finalised his decision, ergo, leaping onto a glider before slashing it with sombre. His eyes full of hatred as he lugged them away from the invasion. To which Tup intercepted them before seeing him dash away yet again.

"Commander, no!" Rex exclaimed, "It's not worth your life."

"I'll get him." Barriss sighed, rendering his trails.

"Hang in there, Trooper. I'm coming." He remarked, gliding towards him until upon apprehending a jarring presence which pounded against his frame. Skimping him aside as he made out an explosion from his loyal clone.

"Noooooooo!" He yelped in anger.

"Caleb, we gotta go." She barked, deflecting multiple shots as Rex fortified their defences.

Caleb, stubborn as he was, took Barriss miscellaneous efforts in attempts to deprive him from the battle ground. Bitterly forcing him to compel with the act.

"Padawan, that was dangerous and extremely reckless!"

"Well I was trying to save their lives."

"Which is fine, so long as you observe and examine the situation before charging impulsively. You need to follow orders, Padawan." She reasoned, "You would both have died."

"Better dead than have Krell remain my master."

"What...What do you mean?"

"Haven't you figured it out by now? Krell..."

"I hate to interrupt but we do need to forward our assault. Fives and Hardcase are counting on us."

"Very well then, let's go."


"Caleb watch out!" She gasped, before yielding him over and protecting his back.

"Thanks."

"Still got a lot to learn, Padawan."

"Yeah, I probably do."

When 2 Umbaran shuttles suddenly sloped down, aiming and destroying the enemy lines.

"Way to go, Fives."

"Attaboy, Hardcase."

"Woohoo! Hahahahahahaha."


Tell me if I'm boring you guys. Cause I could skip to the fun/angsty part.
