No, this is not the idea that I had that would be multiple parts, but I couldn't resist it. I saw this AU idea on Black_Paladin's book. Here is the pic:

Everything was going great on Kaller when it was ordered.

Order 66. 

At that moment, everything went wrong. Tech started complaining about headaches, Hunter and Wrecker pointed their blasters and the Padawan, and Echo just stood there, in the same daze of confusion that Crosshair was in.

The sniper chased after the Padawan, Hunter on his tail.

"G-get away!" Caleb screamed with fear.

"Look, kid, I don't know what is going on. I am just as confused as you are," Crosshair tried to calm the kid. He threw all of his weapons behind him along with his helmet. "I'm just as confused as you are," he repeated. 

The Padawan hesitated, and Crosshair saw from the corner of his eye Hunter's blaster being aimed, and the red laser coming out of it.

The silver-haired Clone took the shot for the kid.

Crying out in pain, he collapsed. The Padawan started to his side, but Crosshair shouted at him, "GO! RUN!" as the Clone got up, grabbed a pistol, and stood in front of the kid. 

 The young Jedi obeyed and ran.

"Why would you shot a kid?!" Crosshair yelled at his Sergeant. 

"We have been ordered to execute Order 66. I was following orders," Hunter growled. 

"Bu—"

"No buts. We were given orders, and you disobeyed them! You took a shot for a traitor!"

"Traitor?" Crosshair angrily hissed. 

"Yeah, traitor. The Jedi have committed treason," Hunter growled. "And you helping a Jedi escape, makes you a traitor too."

The confusion Crosshair felt was the last thing he remembered before Hunter stunned him.

***

Tech only felt confused. Yes, a Jedi committed treason, but surely not all of the Jedi should be held responsible? Especially the children? 

Now, seeing Hunter drag Crosshair who had wrist-binders around his wrists, made everything more confusing. 

"What—why is Crosshair chained?" Tech yearned to know.  

"He let the Jedi Padawan get away. Took the shot that would've killed the kid. He's a traitor," Hunter explained, making Tech feel even more confused. 

"I don't like this....I don't like this at all...." Echo murmured. 

"All those who didn't execute Order 66 are to be decommissioned," Wrecker snarled.  

"Which means Crosshair," Hunter growled. "Tech, contact Kamino and tell them that CT-9904 has disobeyed orders."

"Sir yes sir," Tech muttered. 

But all Tech, Echo, and a groggy Crosshair could think, were the same. "What is going to happen to my brothers? To the Galaxy? To my family?"
