The Rising

The Sith Lord

Ahsoka screamed so loud that she was sure her vocal cords were going to snap. 

"Breath Ahsoka" Plo stated calmly as her hand slowly crushed his. 

"You're almost there Ahsoka, just breath" Shak Ti voiced as Ahsoka whimpered from her place on the floor. 

Fives and Echo glanced at each other from their spot in the doorway of the hanger. Plo looked at them before he felt someone tapping his shoulder. Turning slightly Plo caught sight of one of the pink twins who he switched places with quickly and made his way over to Fives and Echo. 

"What's the situation?" Plo voiced as quietly as he could. 

"Well, the Clankers seem to have what they want" Echo started as he glanced at the screaming Jedi. 

"Um, sir....I know we are their prisoners now....and they didn't shoot us because we lay down our weapons but" Fives began

"Why are the clones still alive?" Plo asked as Echo shifted uncomfortably. Probably because he already knew the answer. 

"Either to test their experiments, for more DNA samples, or as a bargaining chip" Plo replied in a hushed tone so as not to frighten the young Jeti near them. 

"Oh.....fun" Fives hissed as he glared down the corridor that was cut off from them by the forcefield that the droids had set up in the doorway. 

"yea....so wanna be poked and prodded again" Echo hissed as he shifted uncomfortably before all three of them jumped slightly as Ahsoka screamed again. 

"Why didn't they take her to the med bay?" Fives asked Plo who was now trying his best to look less like a startled cat and more like a master Jedi.

"Mainly because I.....convinced them that she was not in any need of assistance" Plo hissed under his breath as Ahsoka screamed once more. 

Fives chuckled slightly as he glanced at the wall of women shielding Ahsoka from view "She's not going to be thanking you for that if she ever finds out"

"I was trying to make sure her children do not end up in the hands of the Sepritists.......or do you have any better ideas?" Plo hissed slightly annoyed as Ahsoka screamed again causing him to flinch slightly. 

"right.....sorry" Fives whispered before he looked at the force field once more. 

"Think Rex knows we are in trouble?" Echo asked Plo 

"Well he can feel her pain....and he has at least half a brain.....so I assume yes.....if not I'm going to kill the little-"

Their conversation was cut short as another, smaller, cry was heard causing all of them to stop talking at once and Plo to start walking back over to the wall of women all of whom were glaring at the men. 

"General,  Is that....." Fives asked his face slowly breaking into a small smile as Plo tried and failed to get behind the wall. 

Plo looked to the door before he tried again to get past the women and for a moment Fives was curious as to why the general was trying so hard to see Ahsoka.

That was until he heard the unmistakable sound of clanking coming from the hall, they where moments away from the entrance when another small cry was heard before it was joined by its sibling.

"twins" Echo whispered to Fives who nodded though his eyes where stuck to the entrance and his hand grabbing randomly for any kind of weapon.

His hand managed to find a metal pipe before he glanced over at Echo who had managed to collect a metal pipe as well, though his was shorter and slightly more beaten up than Fives weapon.
