Tie Fighter engines roared overhead as Ahsoka and the severely injured Pax rested in the Ally ways.

"Yeah, we have a situation Fett, Pax has been severely wounded, and we don't have a way to bring him to get medical attention."

Boba Fett replied through his comms.

"Alright, well Grievous and I will head towards the temple ruins and await for you at this new waypoint."

Boba sent the new location to Ahsoka.

"Good luck Ahsoka, and make sure Pax makes it, please."

Fett sounded worried, which was unusual, because he was known as a ruthless Bounty Hunter.

"I promise."

Ahsoka ended the comms.

Pax reached his hand out and placed it on Ahsoka's shoulder.

"Stormtrooper armor usually has a first aid on the belt. If we can get ourselves one, then maybe my wounds can be healed."

Ahsoka nodded.

"I will retrieve one and apply the kit to your wound, but that would require me to go alone, are you sure this will work?"

Pax nodded.

"Alright, well I'll be back soon"

Ahsoka grabbed her cloak and put it on, her hood over her head.

She dispersed out into the main roads, and she knew that there'd be Shock Troopers all around her.

Ahsoka was now on the upper levels, in awe in all the people and buildings, the lights were bright, there was loud noises and vehicles flying above.

"Wow..."

Ahsoka didn't let herself get distracted, as she continued down the main road.
Finding the stormtroopers wasn't hard, but getting to them was, let alone getting the med kit off their belt without causing a ruckus.

Ahsoka moved through the people, bumping and shoving into each other. She was annoyed, even though she knew that was how people lived on this planet. Ahsoka thought back to the time where she was still in the Jedi Order before the act of Order 66 was initiated. Ahsoka remembered when Barriss Offee framed her for assassination, and when she was offered the rank of Knight. Ahsoka refused as that experience had changed her. She remembered the horrible sadness that overcame her old master Anakin Skywalker when she left the Order. Ahsoka didn't want to believe the horrible rumors that she heard about how Anakin Skywalker was now the Sith Lord, Darth Vader. Just the thought made her tremble.

A tear rolled down her face, as she visited her past. Opening her eyes, Ahsoka knew what she had to do. She started heading down to an Imperial barracks to find medical supplies.

Imperial Tie fighters roared overhead, this pair of Ties, we're heading towards the location of the recent skirmish. One thought crossed Ahsoka's mind: Pax.

Ahsoka immediately sprinted back to the location of Pax, where she saw green flickers and Shock Troopers gathering up.

Her comm beeped.

"To Ahsoka Tano, General Grievous, and to Boba Fett, I have contacted you because I have found myself in an inescapable situation."

"I just wanted to let you know, that I'm glad I ran into all of you, and that the mission goes well from here on out."

"Move on with the mission, I will not be coming out of here alive, so I'm using my last thermal imploder to wipe these guys out, but at the cost of my life."

"I need you all to head to the Jedi Temple, there you will find the answers you seek, and you'll be doing it without me."

"So farewell friends, and may this mission not be in vain"

"Pax out."

A flicker of ref yellow and orange flares shined up from the alleyway, as the ground shook and the alley buildings collapsed. Several Shock Troopers went flying. Pax took them out as a diversion to bring Imperial forces away from their objective, but at the cost of his life.

Clones were bred for the purpose of war, but even if they were all the same on the outside, on the inside, they had many different views, different attitudes, different hopes. People see Clones as just purpose bred soldiers, but many acts in the Clone Wars have shown otherwise. One clones act, would save the lives of his new found allies. His name, was Pax.
