17 Years ago....

"I have proof of it. I can prove that everything that I know is true beyond a shadow of a doubt!" He told them

"Show me the evidence." The General said

"The evidence is in here. It's in here. It's in all of us, every clone!" He said as he tapped on his head.

"What is it? " the Captain asked

"Organic chips, built into our genetic code to make us do whatever someone wants..."

"....even kill the Jedi."

"It's all in here!"

"Let's just get you some help first, then we can review everything." The General said

"It'll be okay, Fives. We'll sort this out."

"You don't believe me!" He yelled in distress

"Fives, we are listening to you. We only want to help." The Captain pleaded with him.

"How do I know you're not tricking me? How do I know it won't be a trap?" His panic continued to increase as Nala She's drug affected him.

"The Chancellor will try to kill me! I promise you that!" He said

"The Chancellor?" The General asked, in disbelief

"He's in on it!"

"I don't know to what extent. But I know he orchestrated much of this. He told me in the medical bay!" He pleaded as he looked at the concerned faces of Rex and  the General.

"He told you?"

"When you tried to assassinate him? You have gone too far, Fives." Anakin said as the Coruscant Guard came in.

"The Chancellor is incapable of what you claim."

"He is!"

"I swear to you, General. You have no idea..." He was cut off by the rushing Coruscant guard, his panic levels now at an all time high.

"Stand down, soldier! Stand down! Get on your knees!"

"No! No! No! Stay back!" He backed away in a mix of fear and panic

"Don't do it! Don't do it, soldier!" Fox yelled

"Get away from me!" He reached for Rex's blaster.

"Fives, no!" Rex shouted as he pointed it at Fox.

Fox quickly fired, shooting a burning hole through his chest plate.

He gasped, dropping the blaster and then falling to the floor.

"Fives!" Rex yelled

"Fives!" He yelled again, banging on the ray shield.

"Get this ray shield off!" Anakin yelled

"Fives!" Rex yelled running to him after Fox shot the shield generator.

"Brother!"

"Call for help! We need a medic!" Rex pleaded in anguish as he held onto did dying brother.

Fives would gasp for air before speaking again. "Rex..."

"Fives."

"This... It's bigger than any of us..." He said as he grew weaker.

"Than anything I could have imagined."

"I never meant to..." Rex held onto him

"I only wanted to do my duty." His heart slowing, his head falling back.
