Onwards to Choal

Jaden was standing on a large hill overlooking a city and what looked to be the fiercest battle he had ever seen before. It sent shivers down his spine as he saw the sheer savagery of what was happening down below; he saw Jabiimi civilians —some not even adults— strapping bombs to themselves as they ran through the streets encountering clones and blowing up. He watched clones draw out vibro-blades and stab them into these children's necks before they could trigger the bomb.

The exchange of fire between both forces was bloody and savage. The streets were running red with blood on both sides; it was as if an ocean of red swept across the streets and floating on top were the body parts and innards of the fallen. Jaden could even see Jedi amongst the dead. A blue Twi'lek Jedi wandering around without a head with his lightsaber slashing in random directions as he walked aimlessly.

*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*

Jaden had to cover his eyes as he saw the city being bombarded with heavy artillery turning both forces into puddles of paste on the ground. The sheer horror of what Jaden was witnessing brought a stream of tears down his eyes. Jaden found the hill getting closer to the city, he tried to back up and leave but the hill got steeper making him stumble down and fall right into the ocean of blood in the city. He breathed heavily as he stood up and tried to reach for his lightsaber or any weapon at all only to find nothing.

Jaden could only watch as a long blonde-haired man with a beard approached him and raised a blaster "No wait-"

*Ting*

"AHHHH!" Jaden screamed as he woke up from his nightmare breathing heavily. He looked around and saw that he was on the ground on what appeared to be a medical stretcher. Four clones were sprawled out across the floor; Jaden assumed that they must've been carrying him and cause of his nightmare he must've unconsciously pushed them away. He looked up and saw it was night, though the weather hadn't changed and it was still raining. Though the clones had been nice enough to make a little cover for his stretcher to protect him from the rain.

"Master, are you okay?" Aubrie asked as she came running towards Jaden having felt the disturbance he created when he awoke.

Jaden rubbed his eyes and took a moment to calm himself down, he looked down and saw that he had a few bandages wrapped around him; he tried to remember what had happened. 'I was caught in the escape pod explosion,' he thought to himself. Though as he remembered that, he was reminded of the moments before that and a flood of negative emotions from the battle engulfed his mind for a moment before he was able to push them down.

"I'm fine Padawan Wyn, how are the casualties did the plan work?" He asked.

"It worked better than we hoped it would, we managed to secure an overwhelming victory against the enemy and send them retreating with only minimal losses on our side," Aubrie explained as Jaden struggled to stand up.

"I did attempt to heal you but for some reason I wasn't able to, it was quite strange, it's as if your body rejected me," Aubrie explained as she helped Jaden up.

Jaden nodded in appreciation "Thank you for trying, I should be able to help myself, where are we travelling?" He asked.

"We are heading towards the city Choal, the Jedi General in charge there has requested reinforcements though communications went out before he could ask why." A voice echoed out from behind him.

Jaden turned and found a smile growing on his face "Commander Delts I'm glad you're alive," he said sincerely. During their time training and spending time together on the ship Jaden couldn't help but like Delts, something he does regret as it'll just be all the more difficult to leave.
