Star Wars A New Hope for the Galaxy

Chapter 8

Ezra was showing his  younger baby sister battle of coursant with Ahsoka help

"Ow!" said Bruck as the medical droid dressed a wound on his side. The rest of them were being attended by a combination of medical droids and clone medics while Master Sinube and the younglings stood by. It only took around two hours for their wounds to be dressed since they were mostly shrapnel wounds rather than blaster wounds. Taran stood up from the cot, a few bacta patches around his chest, arms and legs. The others were the same as well with Bruck's head bandaged being the only one that stood out.

"Master Sinube. There's something that's been picking at my mind," said Taran.

"Speak young one," said Sinube.

"Where did the clones you found come from?" said Taran. "Last I checked, none were in the area."

"They also seem...different," said Ahsoka. Master Sinube rubbed his chin as he pondered.

"I haven't really thought about it till now. Any of these differences you notice?" said Sinube.

"For one, their accuracy is off," said Taran.

"Two, they don't fight as well as other troopers we've seen," said Ahsoka.

"And they're too...ridged," said Taran. He turned to a clone trooper standing guard about ten feet away.

"Trooper, can you come here for a moment?" said Taran.

"Sir yes sir," said the trooper. He calmly walked over to him, standing in front of them all.

"What's your creed?" said Taran.

"To protect the Chancellor and the Republic," said the clone.

"The Chancellor?" thought Taran. "And what's your creed with your brothers?"

"Fight as one and watch each others' backs," said the trooper. All of their eyes widened at his statement.

"You can go back to your duties soldier," said Ahsoka.

"Sir yes sir," said the clone, walking back towards his station.

"He didn't know about Vode An," said Taran.

"This is too weird," said Ahsoka. "You think we should look into it."

"Perhaps another time, but for now we must continue to push back the Separatists still in the city. I won't ask you all to come with us," said Sinube. Bruck stood up, flexing his muscles.

"I think I can go on, but more for support than force," said Bruck.

"I feel the same way," said Tia as she flexed her legs.

"I think you have our answer," said Ahsoka.

"Should I send you all back?" said Sinube, pointing to the younglings

"With all due respect Master," said Ahsoka, standing up, "I wouldn't mind having these six with us all the way through." The younglings smiled at her, which she returned.

"And what should I say about their disappearance. Plus you least the Jedi order?" said Sinube.

"Say it was a chaotic event. Sometimes we lost sight of things in the heat of warfare," said Ahsoka. Sinube smiled.

"Master Kenobi has taught you too well," said Sinube.

"I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for him," said Ahsoka. "I just wonder what he's doing right now."
