The Rising

News

Ahsoka groaned slightly as she poured over the console in front of her. 

"how's it coming General?" Fives asked as he walked over to his general with a large tray of cooked meat, veggies, and a strange blue drink. 

Ahsoka glaired at the clone for a moment before shaking her head "Not as much as id like, How's Rex doing with the kids?". 

"Oh they are giving him a great fun time" Fives replied laughing slightly "I supposed it probably didn't help that I gave all three a plate of cookies each". 

Ahsoka laughed slightly her mood lifted by the news as she accepted the tray of food from her friend and brother-in-law. 

Fives chuckled again before they both heard the unmistakable sounds of children giggling. 

"Ah that must be them now" Fives chuckled before two giggling children, Aniko and Tiberius came barreling into the coms room startling most of the clones and rebel soldiers for a moment before they turned back to their work. 

"Mommy" Tiberius giggled as he made a b line for his mother, Aniko two steps behind him as he did. 

"No wait.....don't...disturb...your mother" Rex huffed as he clambered into the room with his daughter in his arm, one hand gripping her father's shirt while she sucked her thumb nervously her head tucked into her father's chest as she did. 

Ahsoka smiled slightly at her daughter who, at the moment of seeing her mother, began to tug at her father's shirt. Rex smiled slightly before he made his way over to his wife, his sons on the other hand seemed to be having more fun tormenting Fives as they climbed on top of him. 

Ahsoka, who had grabbed the tray of food from Fives before her sons began to climb on him, simply munched on a strange veggie as she watched the show before her. 

"Hello Cyare" Rex whispered once he got close enough to her and kissed her cheek. Ahsoka smiled slightly at him and nuzzled her daughter with her nose as He wrapped his free arm around her waist.

"I see your babysitting skills have improved Fives" Rex joked as he watched his wife eat before his daughter began to wiggle slightly in his arms, probably wanting to join in on the fun. 

"yea.....ow...least I can control them" Fives commented as he tried to balance Aniko and Tiberius on his shoulders. 

"oh, I think your doing a wonderful job" Ahsoka giggled as she started on the hunk of cooked meat. Rex chuckled slightly and kissed his wife's temple then cast a glance at the monitor she had been working on. 

Plans for the attack on the underwater base on Kamino. 

He shivered slightly remembering his time on the planet before he felt his daughter gently Nussle against his chest, he smiled slightly before he heard a slight yelp from Fives. 

looking up he saw his oldest, Tiberius, somehow managing a perfect handstand. what was even more impressive about this was the fact he was doing this on top of Fives head. 

Ahsoka laughed at the slight comical sight in front of her. and she wasn't the only one. 

Most of the room was now watching the show, even their sister who was watching her brothers torment her uncle. 

"Rex a little help?" Fives asked as Aniko giggled at his brother. 

"Na I think you have it well under control" Rex replied laughing as he watched. 

"I see you have already put Fives to work" came Plo's voice from behind them. 

Rex smiled at the Jedi before he realized why he was here "training time again?" Rex asked as his daughter giggled happily at the sight of her uncle. Plo nodded before he caught sight of his grandniece in between Rex and Ahsoka. 

"Well hello little one," Plo said happily as she pulled her thumb from her mouth and waived at him while Rex placed his daughter on the ground so she could play with her uncle.

"she has been getting like this for the last couple of days" Ahsoka commented as Rex checked his belt for his saber. 

"She is a Jedi youngling, she can probably feel how everyone around her feels," Rex commented before he pulled out his saber for a second, looked it over then put it back in its original place on his belt. 

"still, I am getting worried" Ahsoka muttered, "So long as they are here, we don't have to worry" Rex replied as he kissed her forehead and then her lips. 

"Finish your food and get your rest young lady" Rex whispered as he rubbed her stomach "Training shouldn't last long, and we should be getting word back from Obi-wan on the-"

"Rex! Rex!" Echo yelled from the hall before he came bursting into the coms room.

"What's wrong?" Rex asked confused. 

"The Bad Batch...Kix.... they.....they escaped....and they are headed towards Kamino" Echo panted. 

Rex looked confused for a moment before Plo spoke cutting him off from his train of thought. 

"When did they leave?" 

"Sometime yesterday, no one is sure" Echo replied. 

"So they are invading a secret base without intell or back up?" Ahsoka asked slightly unphased by this, thinking of her old master as she did. "Did Skywalker have to have such a great impact on the clones?" Plo asked slightly annoyed, slightly amused at the memory of the Jedi turned Sith. 

"Sorry Rex but your training might be put into practice a bit sooner than I would have liked" Plo commented as he gently picked up the small Half togrutan child who had now returned to her practice of sucking her thumb as she clung onto his robes tightly. 

Plo and Ahsoka shared a look before he gently handed her to Ahsoka. "She might be young little un but she is still her mother's daughter" Plo commented as the youngling herself hid in her mother's arms. 

Rex gently hugged both his daughter and his wife before doing the same with his sons, "Fives, Echo you two are on babysitting duty.......keep them safe" Rex whispered to his brothers before he followed Master Plo out of the coms room. 

"Don't worry General, we will keep on top of things" Echo joked as he looked towards Fives who glared at him for the comment. 

"very funny" Fives hissed. as Tiberius and Aniko began to try and climb him once more. 

"Boys...enough. your Uncle is not a climbing frame" Ahsoka growled at her sons, both of whom stopped what they were doing and softly apologized to Fives. 

Echo laughed slightly before he was silent with a glare from Fives, "come on kids, the 501st has a great training course for you three today" Echo commented before all three of the children brightened up and smiled ear to ear. 

"No clone flying" Ahsoka commented to Fives as he collected her daughter. 

"and no spacewalks" Ahsoka half yelled as they walked out of the room. 

"General, we have those reports on Qui vos that you requested" a female twilek soldier reported handing her a tablet. 

"Still no word on his last sighting?" Ahsoka asked thinking of Bly and Alya. 

"No general, but if it helps we do know the whereabouts of Grievous, he is currently headed towards Mandalore" 

Ahsoka looked at the datapad worried "Keep this intel away from Kenobi. I don't want to risk an incident or another crashed ship".

The Twilek nodded before walking back to her station. 

Leaving Ahsoka to her original strategy planning.
