Clone Wars - Mini Stories

A Miracle

Rex sighed, staring at the many graves that stuck out of the snow, holding helmets of those who had died. It had been years since the Empire had fallen and yet here he was returning with some old friends who had suffered so much through the way. A hand grabbed his own as candles were laid down and many individuals stood in respect of those fallen. 

"If I could bring anybody back, it would be Jesse for you, Kix" Rex whispered to the medic who clung tightly to Rex's hand, he wore purple armour, it was custom made and Rex had helped the man obtain it. 

"At least none of them are suffering anymore" a sweet voice turned all attention to Omega, a young blond teenager about the age of eighteen kneeled beside the helmets which had a wave of snow on them. She laid down some flowers and charms of the universe she had found on her journey. 

Over her shoulder stood her family or more in particular. The surviving members of the bad batch: Hunter, Echo, Wrecker and Crosshair, the marksman was tucked under Hunter's chin especially since the marksman was blind from the torture of the Empire. Omega grinned at those who were her family. Gently she placed another helmet beside the fallen, it was Tech's which had a few tears slipping down her face. 

"I will never forget Boil and Waxer for their sacrifice in saving my life. Neither will we all for what the clones did for us all. They deserve the freedom they are getting, with the new city and rights. We will make sure any survivors remain alive and…" a young twi'lek, named Numa, spoke up from beside Hera, Kanan and Ezra who watched proudly beside Chopper, the droid making its own noises. Even Ahsoka and Obi-wan Kenobi were there, both Jedi wearing cloaks while watching the captain speak a few words of respect in a place of now memorial grounds. 

"Is that so?" 

Three dark words had all heads turning to see a dark figure, one that everyone hoped was dead. The one known to the rebels as the Grand Inquisitor. 

"You!" Kanan roared, lighting up his lightsaber, as did any other Jedi protecting those who didn't. 

"Now, I'm not here to fight you" The Grand Inquisitor spoke to them all in a cold tone. Kanan frowned until he watched the eyes search through them all only to land on Omega. The blond clone had been surrounded by the batch including Crosshair who had his helmet on, a visor within it attached to his eyes to help him see a bit. Through vibrations and his mental state. 

"You want her, you go through us all" Hera called out, readying her blaster. Ezra and Kanan beside her nodded, getting ready to defend each other. 

"I think not," the Grand Inquisitor shouted, slamming his staff to the ground. Everyone soon found themselves suspended in the air as the man stalked towards Omega who struggled, she was one of the very few who was not in the air. He leaned down and violently grabbed her chin, she gasped in fear. 

"Omega!" Hunter's scream had her looking up only for a whisper of words to make her freeze as she connected eyes with Hunter as the Grand Inquisitor shoved her back, she fell into the memorial service. Rex glared at the Grand Inquisitor who smirked as he stalked for Kix, who was slammed into the ground. His helmet was snatched and thrown aside. 

"It would seem you were taken early from your pod, it's a good thing I'm here to return you to your purpose" he snarled down at Kix who struggled to stay awake from a type of force shoving its way mentally into his mind. 

"Kix! Fight it!" Ahsoka screamed only to watch with wide eyes as another caught her attention. A particular clone who's eyes glowed red, confusing both her and Obi-wan, the two froze slightly especially when the Grand Inquisitor stormed over to Omega but stopped himself in front of Ezra.
