Nax’s Pov

   Just as the spy in question had answered the Captain. I interject into the conversation.

Nax: Stalker is more like it, spy.

Captain Rex: Easy, Nax. Look, let’s not get into the wrong foot. What is your name?

Mike: My name is Mike Zacharius. But you can call me Mike. I’m a soldier of the Scout Regiment.

Kix: Wasn’t there a 41st Scout Battalion in the Republic? They fought in the Battle of Kashyyyk, right?

Nax: Yes, but this is different. Who is your commanding officer, Mike?

Mike: My commander is Keith Sadies. Then there is Section Commander Erwin Smith. Erwin and I were here by the skeleton to find any survivors of Flagon’s squad from a Titan attack, but none survived, except for one.

Captain Rex: So that’s what they are called, Titan.

Mike: You have seen a Titan?

Fives: Seen one? I was grabbed by one. That damn thing nearly ate me.

Captain Rex: Well, we fought one. It was around 7 meters. We basically unload our weapons upon it. However, it didn’t die until Nax fired his rocket launcher and landed a killing blow to its nape.

Mike: The nape is the only way to kill a Titan. Trust me, we tried other methods.

Nax: I take it, none of those methods worked, haven’t they?

Mike: Unfortunately, no. Even one shot to the head from an HE cannonball was never enough to kill a Titan. And can I please put my arms down, they are getting tired at the moment.

I turned to see the Captain nodded to him, then looked at us.

Captain Rex: Stand down, everyone. He is not an enemy.

We all then lowered our weapons and joined the rest infront of Mike.

Mike: (sighs) Finally, thanks.

Captain Rex: Don’t mention it. You said there was one survivor of that squad. Who was the survivor?

Mike: The survivor’s name is Levi Ackerman. We were just about to return home. That is until I had this gut feeling that there is someone else out here. I told Erwin about it, he allowed me to double check the area. And that is when I saw you two out in front and these three from behind.

Captain Rex: Oh blast us to oblivion. Forgive us, Mike. We haven’t introduced ourselves. I’m Rex, Captain of the 501st Legion.

Fives: Name is Fives.

Tup: I am Tup.

Hevy: Hey, they call me Hevy.

Hardcase: Name’s Hardcase.

Appo: I’m Appo.

Kix: Kix, it’s nice to meet you.

Redeye: I go by Redeye.

Mixer: Mixer.

Denal: Denal is the name.

Dogma: My name is Dogma.

Captain Rex: And you already know Nax.

I raised a hand greeting Mike.

Mike: You guys sound awfully alike.

Appo: That is because we are all clones.

Mike: Clones?

All of us took off our helmets to show Mike.

Mike: Wow, you really are clones.

Kix: But with different individual identities. Just so people don’t confuse us for the same person.

Mike: Huh, I understand, that makes it easier. I should go back to the regiment now. They will probably send a search party for me. Do you have any transportation?

Captain Rex: We don’t have any transportation. Except for walking, if that is what you are asking.

Mike: No, you all will be Titan chow for walking.

Denal: You got a better idea, Mike?

I see Mike put his hand on his chin. He is probably thinking of something about giving us transport. He then snapped his fingers.

Mike: I got one, but I have to alert everyone of the entire regiment.

Tup: How are you going to do that?

Mike: (Pulls out a flare gun.) With this.

Hevy: A flare gun?

Mike: Yes, we use it frequently during our expedition. We have six various colored rounds to give other Scouts information of what’s going on, while on mission.

Dogma: What does each color signify, Mike?

Mike: The green round signifies a change of course of the formation only used by a commander, and others reply with the same flare. The blue is for retreating. Red means a Titan is spotted. But the black one means an abnormal Titan was spotted. This purple round is when there is an emergency. Finally, when the mission is over, we use the yellow, whether it is a failure or a success.

Captain Rex: Huh, each color has its own purpose. Nice touch.

Mike: Thanks. I’ll use the purple round, since this is an emergency.

(Fires purple flare.)

Mike: It’ll only take a minute or two. So what are you guys doing out here in the open?

Fives: We don’t know how we ended up here in this world. Though, I don't even know how to explain it to you. But the one thing I can explain is that we came from a different place or universe. Where we were fighting a war out in space and on other planets.

Mike: You have seen the outside world?!

Fives: Woah yes, we have. You haven’t seen all of your entire planet?

Mike: No, we were told that all of humanity nearly went into extinction because the Titans were ruling over us. The Walls we inhabit only saved half of the human population, and prevented them from finishing us off. We can’t even reach further distance without the Titans trying to devour us.

Fives: (Puts his hand on his chin.) Now that explains what Qui-gon had said. Humanity is in dire peril from these Titans.

Mike: (raise an eyebrow) Someone told you about what’s happening here?

Captain Rex: Yes, a wise man had told us about this world’s situation and to help save it. 

Mike: You’ll help us fight against the Titans?!

Fives: Yes, after what was about to happen to me and witnessing the landscape of corpses. We made a decision to kill every last Titan, for what they did.

Mike did a single nod.

(Horses galloping closer.)

Mike: The Scouts are here.

Mike: The Scouts are here
