~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A newly assigned padawan walks off the ship with new supplies. Her armor clean and shining without a single scratch or dent. Her padawan braid sitting neatly on her shoulder while the rest of her navy color hair lay flat against her back. Her emerald eyes darting in different directions, taking in the new area around her. This was defiantly not what she imagined back at the temple. Obi Wan had been awaiting the padawans arrival. He was lost in thought stroking his beard due to habit. His mind raced on how the clones may take her. They took Ashoka well but they weren't on Felucia, with droids surrounding them and could be ambushed any minute. He didn't think there would be any problem, he hoped so at least. When she finally finished looking around her eyes landed on the Jedi master. She walked over and bowed respectfully "Master Kenobi". "Syrena" Kenobi bowed back to her. His lightsaber hung loosely at his side, but was easily reached if needed. He straightened up and looked at the clones now running by. Their armor glinting as the sunlight hit it. They themselves were the 'shinnies' of the group. He hesitated a bit "these boys take after their general, in a lot of aspects. But I'm sure your used to it. You've heard the stories." She nods in agreement "yeah but I think I can manage." Her brown eyes started to wonder again picking up every fine detail. They landed on the troopers and she watched curiously for a bit. "They're a little busy" Kenobi says snapping her from her curiously. "Don't worry. I see this as a perfect time to work on patience" she says referring to the other comment about Anakin. He nodded "there are a few that you should meet. Follow me" he says and starts walking towards the group of clones gathered over a holographic image. "Very well" she nods and quickly follows behind him. As she approached the group her eyes fall on them. More curiosity buzzed through her. "Captain Rex?" Obi wan asks to get the captains attention. Rex turned around as he heard his generals voice.  He immediately snapped to attention as quickly as his visor allowed him to see the general along with.. a young girl? He raised an eyebrow but it was concealed by his helmet. The other clones also snapped to attention at Kenobi's presence. "How's it going?" Kenobi questioned. "It's going good sir, permission to speak freely sir?" Kenobi nodded his approval. "Sir where are General Skywalker and Commander Tano?" He asks intrigued in his friends whereabouts. Shadows from the foliage above created weird patterns on the clones armor. They danced and flickered, as if it where a black flame that created a hypnotizing effect. Obi wan watched for a moment before answering "they're waiting on a mission. I will be attending afterwards I get the 212th prepared to aid your charge. While they are gone she will be taking care of you" he says side stepping so they could view her. "H-hello I'm padawan Syrena Navarr. I was assigned here with you all. I look forward  to fighting by your side and learning war tactics from you" she says with a low bow.  Returning the respectful gesture the troopers salute her. "I must be going" Obi Wan says. Rex faced him "be safe general." Obi wan smiled jokingly "it's never safe when Anakin and Ashoka have their minds set on something" he chuckled. Rex nodded letting a small smile spread across his lips.  Syrena stood silently waiting for the moment to pass. Finally Obi wan walked off leaving the clones to their new commander. Rex faced the new commander "Captain Rex at your serv-" he was cut off as a rock collided with his visor. It wasn't big enough to cause real damage but it was a decent size. "Got you" a voice says. You could hear the smirk from under his helmet. (I'll give you two guesses on who it is) The same clone laughed. The three ARC troopers near by shared a glance. Once facepalmed his helmet, the other sniggered and the other began mumbling something about 'grow up'. She looked between the clones and tried to stay as serious as possible. She found their different reactions amusing and soon a slight smile appeared on her face. "Blaster.. This is a battle zone. Not throw rocks at your captain zone" Rex says sternly trying to hide the annoyance in his voice. Blaster chuckled and walked over facing the group "Not the way I see it" he grins. "Did you even pay attention to the commander standing right there?" The ARC said furthest to the left. The one to the farthest right answered "maybe he just doesn't care." The one in the middle shrugged. Syrena looked at Blaster "I suppose your Blaster". Blaster put his hands on either side of his helmet and lifted it up, revealing a friendly face."yeah. What's your name?" He asks giving her a lighthearted grin. "I'm Syrena. I'm a padawan at the temple" she says smiling. "Nice to meet you" Blaster smiled. They all take off their helmets to reveal familiar faces. "I'm Bones" the left one says and soon the middle stands up revealing a 5 tattoo. "I'm Fives" the one next to me is my squad mate Echo". Echo nodded to her. She looks at each one of them. "Nice to meet all of you to" she says. Bones pipes up "I'm sure you'll learn quick on the battlefield. She nods "I do. I'm just surprised they put me into the field". "Why? You seem capable" he says observing the Jedi padawan. He saw potential and apparently the others did to because they nodded in agreement. "I guess we'll find out" she says to them. "We won't let anything that bad happen to you" Rex says. "Maybe a few injuries here and there" Blaster added. "But those cant always be prevented" Fives responded. "But we can try" Bones says and right after Echo adds "and we will do our best." "Very well you look after me and I'll look after all of you"she says. "You might have to do that often. Some of us are childish". As that was said all gazes snapped to Blaster who simply grinned. She laughs "I think I picked up on that." "Hey I'm not childish" Blaster defends himself "I simply have a sense of humor." "You guys are funny. I don't think I ever laughed this much. Not even at the temple" she says giggling. "There's more where that came from!" Fives said fist bumping Blaster who smiled and fist bumped back. Fives received a sharp slap to the back of the head and glared accusingly at Echo who was smirking. Bones gave his friends a 'really?' Look. "I take it your the more serious one of the group" She says facing Bones. "Yeah sometimes, like when we should be focusing because this is a war zone". "Yeah that's right" she agrees. "Come on we don't do another charge for a hour" Blaster says. Fives stepped in "yeah technically we aren't relaxing, we're getting our new commander settled" He said smirking. Rex who was now staring at the image again didn't even look up. "Stow it all of you before I make you run 50 laps and train the shinies" he threatened. This was enough to make them be quiet, But Bones celebrated his victory with a quiet smirk. "Perhaps you wouldn't mind showing me the rest of base?" Syrena asks. "Nope" Bones says and signals for her to follow him. Blaster and Fives stood up moving to the side of her ready to protect her if there is an ambush. Rex looked at them briefly as Echo stood at his side. "We're gonna review enemy movements, revise plans and find the weakest links. Keep her safe boys." Rex says and turns his back to them once more. "I can do that" Syrena says, but Rex was too focused on information to notice. Bones lead them around base pointing out important buildings. "And those are your barracks. Ours is right down there." She nods again and tried to remember the layout of the base. "Anytime you need us we'll be here" Blaster says. "Same for all of you" She replied looking at them. "You'll do great kid" Fives said. "Welcome to the family kid" Bones adds with a slight smile. "Thank you all of you, and I'm not a kid. That's almost like being called a youngling" she says with a pout. Fives frowned and gave off a slight whine "fineeee". "But that's the way we show our love! Come up with nicknames for each other" Blaster says partly joking. "How about we just call her sister you secondary tin cans" Bones facepalmed. "Hey!" They both yelp indignantly. "We are not droids Mr. Can't keep his bones in one piece" Blaster says crossing his arms. Bones narrowed his eyes. Fives glared at both of them. "Sister? I rather like that" she says smiling at all of them. They snap out of their mainly mental arguments and smile back. "Well then sister it is!" They say in unison. Syrena gives them a goofy grin and they match hers with their own. "BLASTER I'M GOING TO KRIFFING KILL YOU!" A voice cut in on the 'family bonding'. Blaster grinned "Well got to scram. See you guys around!" He says dashing off. "Not if someone kills him first" Fives murmured. She waves to his disappearing form "is he always in trouble with someone?" "Yup" Bones and Fives reply immediately in unison. "Sounds like Jesse was pissed" Fives chuckled. She giggled "this really does feel like a family". "Of course" Bones says "we are brothers, and lately brothers seem to be the only constant in this war". "I'm very happy to be apart of this family" she says. "Just whatever you do don't let us drink" Fives warned. "I'll do my best to remember that" she says feeling the nagging curiosity again bite at her. Why shouldn't they be allowed to drink? She played it off however "can I help you guys with battle tactics?" "That's more Rex's game" Bones says. "Oh well he seems to enjoy it I suppose". Fives lips turned into a slight frown "enjoy it? No. Programmed for it. We all are." "Well what else do you enjoy doing?" She asks. "We like wrestling, joking around and shooting things. Sometimes we watch the channels and sometimes there's music." He replied. "Most of the time though we entertain each other with stories or pranks. Sometimes a few competitions also." "Seems interesting and fun"'she replied giving a childish grin. Bones seemed taken aback not used to Jedi not being serious. "Yeah well we should do a arm wrestling competition soon" He said. Fives grinned teasingly "I'll beat you any day"  Bones rolled his eyes and playfully punched his shoulder. "That will be fun to watch" she says. "Don't know" Fives chuckled "others have dirty mouths" he says imagining what curse words would come out of the losers mouth. Bones turned serious once more "Syrena do you know clone slang?" "Know what?" She asks tilting her head confused."Alright then you can watch" Fives chuckled amused. She sighs "now you just confused me". Fives pondered a bit but came up with, "Clones have their own language" he began explaining " and some words are not appropriate for... Young people such as yourself". "Are you calling me a kid?" She asks eyebrow raised tone suddenly flat. "No no" he began but was cut off my her "good". "You'll catch on quick if you hang out with us" Bones says. She nods now determined to keep up with her new family. "I wouldn't want to if I where you" Fives chuckled. "And why would that be?" She asks. "Well some things others say may ruin your innocence forever." "It will already be ruined by war" she shoots back. Bones and Fives look at each other and shrug having no retort. The clones get ready to go to their barracks. As they where going to walk off a explosion rattled the ground. A sudden burst of commotion surged through the base, yells being tossed around as some type of organization. Droids marched out of brush advancing on the clones. "It's an attack!" She yells taking her lightsaber from its place in her belt. Bones and Fives throw on their helmets and raise their blasters firing at the incoming droids. She reflected some of the shots the droids took with a flick of her wrist. The blade making a fizzle sound as the two beams collided. Rex and Blaster rushed over dodging some blasts along the way. Blaster covered the group back facing Syrena as he returned fire. Rex fired and scrapped some droids before looking at her. "We're being ambushed on all sides. However their east flank seems to be weakened. We could try to slip out and risk important supplies and most likely risk heavy casualties. Or we could stay here and have the advantage of the supplies. Then manhandle our way to victory. It's up to you Commander Syrena" He said silently hoping to stay here. At least they had a chance for more survivors here. She stood there without a word. This was her first true decision to make in war but she had no idea what was best for the team. "Whatever you choose sis, we'll follow to the end" Blaster says risking a glance at her. After a moment of silence she answers "we stay and fight". Hardcase's voice cut in "I like her already!" He chuckled spraying down some clankers. The clones ignored him while Syrena raised a eyebrow but focused on battle. "Permission to take charge sir?" Rex asks directing it towards Syrena, "I mean ma'am". "Permission granted captain" she says. Rex starts barking orders setting up a perimeter. She kept a watchful eye on everything. The group cut the droids back knowing their victory was coming. "Good job! Keep pushing them back" she says encouraging them like a true leader. Eventually all the droids where cut down and the medics started getting to work. Rex got an idea knowing it would start to mold Syrena into a commander. He signaled for her to follow him and took off. She saw the signal and followed after him. The captain briskly walked to the medical bay. As he did the ones who could raise their heads did. Several injured and dying clones lay about all being tended to. As Syrena entered her eyes widened and she gasped. Rex put up his normal facade seemingly unaffected by it. He went over to a bed with a special guest on it "Jesse." Jesse looked at them and saluted slightly careful not to pull on the hole in his side. "At ease" Rex ordered sitting by his friend. "Jesse" She says walking over. Jesse nods to her "you must be the new commander. Pleased to meet you". "Yes I'm
Syrena Navarr, padawan learner at the temple. Nice to meet you to." "I'm Jesse don't have a last name. But you probably knew that". She nods "last names aren't of importance anyway." "I guess. By the way if you see Blaster, tell him when I'm out of here he's dead." Rex simply shook his head "fine you just focus on healing." "I will remember to tell him" She says smiling. He felt fatigue start to gather so he closed his eyes "we scrapped them" he says as a thin smile spread on his lips lazily. "Yeah they're gone." "Haha stupid tin cans" he chuckled. Syrena agreed with a large smile. He opened one eye "your gonna make a good commander. You have that fire in you". "We shall see. For now I will continue to learn from all of you in battle". Jesse looked up at Rex briefly "who knew. Now we're the teachers, for once." He chuckled softly. "Perhaps I should call you master" She says with a bit of a teasing undertone. Jesse wavered but gave in "no that's way to formal". "Yes sir!" She laughed. Rex cracked a half smile and stood up noticing how tired Jess was. "Alright see you later old friend". "Bye Rex" Jesse says risking a small wave only to wince slightly. He put his arm down afterwards. "I should be going to. See you around" she says waving to him. He smiled "I'll be here!" He says quickly falling asleep. Syrena walked out, Rex following behind her. "I assume you want to go to your barracks now." "Yes. It would be wise if all of you catch up on sleep" she says looking at the captain. He nods but let out a little sigh. 'You don't get sleep much. She'll learn that as time goes on' he thought. "We'll get some shut eye" Rex says not wanting to see her tired or get injured due to being sleep deprived. "Same to you" she says going to her barrack. The veteran captain stood in place for a bit. His eyes scanned the foliage. 'I now know the 501st is in good hands. We'll grow, grow both in numbers and wisdom. With the younglings on the way and Syrena here this battalions outcome is bright'.
