"Where. Is. He." Y/n commanded as he held up a battered Separatist soldier.

"I-I Don't know! I swear!" The soldier replied in a panicked tone, coughing blood out after.

"Then who does." Y/n asked, tightening his grip around the soldier's throat.

It was clear to Y/n that this was a memory as he was asleep in the lighthouse mere moments ago, but now he's stood, holding a separatist soldier by the throat, and inside some dark grey building. "The – The commander does!" The soldier croaked out. "I-I can take you too him!"

Y/n didn't speak as he simply released his iron grip, allowing the soldier to fall to the floor in pain. The solider hurried to his feet, and walked over to a door as he held his throat. "Th-this way." He gestured.

Y/n followed him, he didn't have any choice since it was a memory, but he followed him out of the door, revealing a long hallway.

"Oh ... God ..." The soldier stated as the hallway was covered in blood; bodies of his fallen comrades lay on the floor.

The soldier's face became paler as he led Y/n to an elevator that was at the end of the hall, continuing to step over bodies. "O-okay ... He should be on the top floor ... If he's still in the facility." The soldier told, any confidence in his voice leaving once his eyes landed on Y/n's bloodied armour.

The elevator opened, revealing two armed guards. "What the?!" One of them shouted as he raised his gun up to shoot the intruder.

Y/n activated his Plasma Blade, slicing into their chest, killing both guards that had appeared.

The sight of that, caused the other soldier to make a break for it, but he didn't get very far when Y/n unholstered his M1911 and shot him in the back of the head.

Y/n then situated himself in the elevator and pressed the button that should take him up to the highest level, hopefully where the Commander should be.

"Warning: All personnel must vacate; The hyper-lethal vector has been detected in the facility." A female voice said over the inter-com as the elevator ascended, dinging every time it reached a new floor.

Y/n stayed silent as alarms sounded in the facility, but with a welcoming ding from the elevator, the doors flew open, revealing the blackened sky that was raining down punishment from above.

"He's here!" A soldier shouted as he opened fire on Y/n's position. "Protect the commander!"

Y/n said nothing as he took cover behind some crates, preventing the soldiers from getting a good line-of-sight.

Unclipping a grenade from his belt, Y/n pulled the pin, expertly throwing it at a machine gun nest that was placed on the helipad. "Grenade! Watch out!" A soldier screamed, but it was too late, the machine gunner exploded in a fiery display.

Y/n quickly came out of hiding, running up to the last two remaining soldiers, and shooting them until they were no more.

"Come on, come on!" A gruff voice panicked from behind a box. "Where's that damn rescue!"

Y/n walked over to the boxes while the rain picked up. He menacingly stood over the boxes, allowing the commander to see him stand tall.

"L-listen ... If you let me live I'll-" The commander tried to bargain, but Y/n quickly ignored his plea, picking him by the throat.
