Species of the Force.

Chapter 1: Interlude.

On the Grassy Plains)

A republic ship crash landed on the grassy plains. As Clones made a camp fire, and a makeshift tent for Anakin Skywalker who is wounded severely due to an explosion, outside of his tent would be Aayla Secura along with Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex and Commander Bly.

"Anakin doesn't have much time. We have to find help Tonight." Aayla would say in a French like accent, as she looks down at his unconscious form along with Bly and Ahsoka .

"Okay. You and Bly go south. Rex and I will stay here with Anakin." Ashoka suggested

"No, Ahsoka in order to get help quickly we must work together." Aayla would say with a shake of her head.

"I can't leave him! Master I know if I was hurt he'd never leave me behind" Ahsoka would protest

"I know this is hard Ahsoka, but Anakin had to stay behind. And we have to go now. There is nothing more we can do for him." Aayla would say with a stern expression not liking this anymore than she did, her gaze would soften.

"We must do all we can to get off this planet. As a Jedi it is your duty to do. For what is best for the group." Aayla would say softly putting her hands on Ashoka's shoulders. As the Togrunta teen sighed and looked towards the sun that was setting.

"General Secura Look." Bly would say holding a tablet with a drawing on it handing it to her.

"We're not the only ones here on this planet. There has to be some kind of something here." Bly adds as they inspected the drawing of what looks like a giant tree. A four legged creature and another life form that is holding a spear pointing it at the creature.

Suddenly the group heard a roar out there in those grassy plains.

Rex and several clones were instantly on guard turning on their headgear flashlights and had their blasters ready.

"If you don't mind me asking General Secura? Where exactly are we going?" Commander Bly asked with two other clones besides him.

"To go find the people who live on this planet." She answered facing him.

"Where are we going to find them?, we have no idea where they are." He asked.

"It seems to me the people we are looking for live near giant trees." Ahsoka would point out putting the tablet in her backpack.

"Very Perceptive Padawan." Aayla complimented looking at Ahsoka watching her kneel down facing Anakin.

"Be Strong Master." Ahsoka says to her unconscious master.

"Just a little bit longer, Rex will watch over you." She says.

"It's time to go." Aayla would say with her hands on her curvy hips.

"Don't worry kid, I'll take good care of him." Rex assured as Ahsoka would nod to his way and stood up getting ready to go.

"Captain Rex, keep your locator on. We should be back by daybreak with whoever or whatever lives on this planet." Aayla would say walking by him.

"Got it General Secura." He says holding his helmet as his eyes looked towards Ahsoka.

"Hey kid... good luck." Rex says with a nod towards her as she in turn nodded.

"Come on, guys let's move out." Aayla says as Aayla, Ahsoka along with Bly and a few clones walked away to go find help for Anakin to heal him up while Rex stood on guard.

As they left the area leaving just Rex who was guarding Anakin. They were unaware that they were being watched from afar.

From a very far distance on a hill was a silhouette watching.
