The Rising

Traitors

Rex clicked the console back in place, it had taken four days for the whole ship to be searched.

Both for bugs and for the spy.

The only thing they had found where trackers, listening devices and broadcasting devices.

"Commander, we have finished our sweep of the cargo bay" one of Wolfe's soldiers reported from Rex's coms.

"Good let's round up the mons....I mean younglings and get them into the chow hall. After that go back to the barricks" Wolves voice range through the coms making Rex chuckle slightly.

Wolfe may not like the younglings on the ship but he was warming up to their adorable nature.

Just as Rex turned around to leave the room he was met with the familiar face of Heavy who looked a little worried. He was dressed in full armor but the 501 logo had been replaced with one of the Jedi younglings design. It had his jag eyes, Ahsoka's face markings and a lightsaber in the middle of them both with the number 501 at the bottom.

Jedi and Clone, working as one.

Rex smiled at the simple symbol that held great meaning to everyone in the 501st.

"What's up Heavy?"

"The hunt for the spy is not going good Captain, the younglings are already guessing what's going on. They trust the 501st and some of Wolfe's men but ........" Heavy trailed off understanding why he was worried.

"Since we don't know who the spy is then it's safer to keep the younglings in the dark" Rex replied before grabbing a rag from his tool carrier and wiping his hands.

"True.... But I'm more worried about what happens if they find out before we do....they are just kids Captain, granted kids who can throw a clone around with the force but not all of them are able to do that" Heavy replied.

Rex shivered as his blood ran cold understanding what he was saying.

His own children where at a higher risk than the others because they have uncle's who all look the same.

"What is your suggestion?" Rex asked throwing the rag back in the tool carrier.

"Guards posted on the both sides of the door to the younglings classes and barricks, from the 501st of course" Heavy replied.

Rex smiled before he laughed "awesome plan, pick out the men and put them in place.. ...... anything else?"

"Yea......can we ban Fives from the younglings.......they have already pulled a bunch of pranks on the men....."

"Hey it's not my fault your a sucker for cupcakes" Fives replied entering the room.

"What did you do now?" Rex asked slightly curious.

"Made cupcakes with the adorable younglings"

"You put shaving cream on top Instead of icing!!!!!" Heavy yelled making Rex snort as he tried desperately to keep his composure.

"Oh come on they still tasted great....oh btw Captain the commander is looking for you" Fives replied.

Rex looked confused for a moment before asking "Wolfe is looking for me?".

"Uh no.....the commander who is your wife and is currently having a slight debate with General Plo that can probably be heard from Naboo" Fives replied chuckling slightly at his own joke.

Rex winced guessing what the 'debate' was about as he made his way to the training area.

Once he got within sight of the door he could hear the argument Fives was talking about.

"-hat is absurd, not a single clone in the 501st would ever turn their backs on us!" Rex smiled at his wife's trust and confidence in his men.

"It isn't any of my men, we have searched high and low for the spy and we have found nothing" Plo replied calmly yet pretty loud to sill be heard through the thick door.

Rex gulped before walking into the training room catching sight of general Plo and Ahsoka glaring at each other with Wolfe slightly behind Plo.

Rex didn't blame him, Ahsoka was only three or four months pregnant, even the workaholic Wolfe knew better by now to piss her off.

"So.....I assume we are talking about doing another search" Rex said nervously as he walked over to Ahsoka. She glared at him slightly before he tried to pull her back a little from Plo and Wolfe, she growled slightly but huffed when he locked a arm around her waist.

"We are discussing the departure of the younglings and the 501st" Plo answered.

"That's insane" Rex replied his grip tightening slightly "there is no other safe place than on the move. If we stop at a non force thrived planet then...."

"We would be a beacon to every single force user both sith and Jedi" Ahsoka replied "those children are far too young to know how to control the force, its safer on a ship where there are weapons and an engine to keep from being sitting duck".

"We can't afford to have any more accidents Ahsoka" Plo replied.

"We got rid of the bugs and any other alien devices" Rex replied.

"That is not what I'm talking about Rex" Plo replied glaring at Ahsoka who looked slightly nervous.

"Uh......then what are you talking about?" Rex looked at Plo and Ahsoka confused.

"It seems as if the spy has figured out a way to hack the ships main controls......so much so that the cabin Ahsoka and Shaak Ti where teaching in was put into lockdown before the spy tried to suffocate them........" Plo replied.

Rex turned into a murderous glare as he tried his best to breathe deeply as Ahsoka taught him in meditation.

Ahsoka was the one who spoke next, "yes and it was the men of the 501st who got us out of that .....the younglings trust them they won't trust anyone else like they do the 501st".

"Something tells me our most recent debate is not going well" Shaak Ti spoke from the doorway as she entered with a small Lithara in tow. Plo looked slightly relieved before he caught sight of the look on her face and automatically flinched his hand reaching for his upper arm rubbing it as if an old wound was acting up again.

"General To, we where just trying to-" Wolfe started before Lithara ran up and hugged his leg. Wolfe looked down at her smiling face before Shaak Ti spoke again, "If you four are done arguing about something that will not be changed then I suggest we move on to a slightly larger issue at hand......such as the fact that many of the 501st and Commander Wolfed men have traced the spy......".

"Where is he?" Ahsoka asked as Lithara tugged on Wolfes hand trying to get him to pick her up.

"Well that's the thing.....it came from a terminal near the weapons bay, I've assigned two droids to look further into it, R7-S9 and R3-S6" Shaak Ti replied.

"We should assign more clones to-" Rex was cut off by a large explosion that rocked the ship, Rex automatically pulled Ahsoka close to him, cushioning her fall as Lithara was scooped up into Master Plo's arms.

The lights flickered before dieing completely.

"That's not good" Wolfe muttered under his breath as the safety lights came on, giving the room an erie red glow.

"Tia? You ok?" Plo asked as he let go of Lithara who Ran over to her parents side helping them up.

"Yes Plo, though I suspect I will have a nasty headache and some bruises tomorrow" Shaak Ti respond.

"We need to check the engine's" Ahsoka announced as she winced slightly. Rex nodded before he bent down to his daughter and kissed her on the forehead and then motioned Wolfe to follow him as he ran down the hallway.

Hoping for the power to the automatic doors to last until they got to the engine room.
