War Against Us (A Captain Rex x Reader Story)

How Could You

A/N: I hope you all enjoy this chapter, because I may alter the script heavily :)

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

Rex followed Krell into the Command Center. His mind was all over the place, especially after the arrest of Fives, Hardcase and Jesse. The last thing he wanted to do was go on another mission.

"General Krell," Rex began to say, "I think you should reconsider the punishment of Fives, Hardcase and Jesse.".

"The actions performed by CT 9415, CT 5597, and ARC 5555 are an embarrassment to the 501st legion and they will be punished for that," Krell insisted, pulling up a hologram of a 212th legion trooper. 

The trooper explained that the Umbarans have stolen the armor of fallen men and are going to attack the 501st. 

"Guess you have a battle to fight Captain," Krell laughed, "but don't think this will make me forget of the actions of your "brothers".

Rex sighed and left to gather his batallion, fearing for the future of Hardcase, Jesse and Kix.

Transport to Umbara

You and Anakin finally landed on a Jedi Cruiser to drop off Kody. 

The three of you were greeted by Wolffe, who was on the cruiser with Plo Koon for a while. 

"Hey Wolffe!" you call, getting his attention, "I need to get down to Umbara, so do you mind showing my new padawan around the ship?"

"Of course!" Woffle smiled, approached you three.

"Hello Commander, I'm Kody," Kody introduced himself, stepping next to Wolffe. 

"Nice to meet you Kody, let me bring you to the bridge to show you around," Wolffe said as he left with Kody.

You sighed as you went back to the transport so you could get to Umbara, knowing you would not be entering in a pretty situation

On Umbara

"You see anything yet?" Rex asked Jesse as he scanned the distant hills.

"Nothing yet, Sir. Wait! I see them! They're dressed as clones alright!" Jesse replied, pullin gout his blaster, ready for a fight. 

It didn't take long for the battle to escalate. Within seconds cannons were firing, blasts were everywhere and men were dropping. Rex looked around at the battlefield, which had become a sea of clone armor. 

"We're exceeding heavy casualties!" Rex cried into his comlink while taking cover behind a tree, firing a few shots on the way. 

As explosion after explosion occurred behind him, he saw a fallen enemy from the corner of his eye, but something was different about this enemy. Yes, he was wearing 212th armor, but from below his helmet, there was a chin of a man, a human man.

Rex rushed to the fallen enemy, taking off his helmet. He jumped back in horror. In his hands were the body of his fallen brother. He instantly started to run towards the battle. 

"Stop your fire! They are men! They are clones! Just like us! Stop your fire!" Rex screamed, running across the battlefield, ripping his helmet off.

The clones from the 501st stopped firing as Rex was running across, trying to get the attention of the 212th. Once Rex was noticed, the 212th stopped fire, looking just as confused at the 501st. Rex fell to his knees and let his hand fall into his palms.

"How vulnerable can I be?" Rex mumbled to himself, almost in tears. But his tears quickly turned to anger. He knew what he had to do, no matter how treacherous it would be. 

After a while, all the troops from the 212th and 501st got together to figure out why this happened. It became evident very quick that it was all Krell's fault and under of the lead of Rex and Waxer, both legions decided it would be best to arrest Krell for treason. 

It wouldn't be easy, but it was what they had to do, and they did not waste any time getting back to the air base to get the job done.

With Rex and Waxer in the front, the legions stormed into the command center of the airbase, weapons drawn and ready to fire. 

"General, you are under arrest for treason against the Republic!" Rex ordered, all of the troops moving in upon his words. 

"How dare you attack a Jedi!" Krell growled, using the force to shove all of the clones away before jumping out the window. All the clones quickly tried to catch up and to their luck, they did. 

"You creatures bred in tubes will never catch me! We all think all of you are just pathetic fake humans!" Krell laughed as the clones surrounded him

"Says who?" you growled from behind Krell, surprising not only him, but the 501st as well. 

"Ah, looks like someone decided to come back earlier than anticipated," Krell laughed, turning around to face you, "why, wouldn't it be oh so sad if I were to destroy your lab rats before I destroy you." Krell extended his arm and used the force to lift up Rex and slam him against a tree, making his helmet fly off. The pain and suffering on Rex's face ripped apart your heart. You tried to communicate with him through the force but it was no use. 

"I could do more if you insist," Krell hissed, putting Rex into a force choke. Each of Rex's gags were like a shot right to your heart. Then Krell extinguished his lightsaber and pointed it right at Rex, "Stand down young Jedi. Stand down, let me go, and your Captain will survive. Oh, and shall I put an emphasis on your?".

Your blood was boiling through your body, "Put. Him. Down," you muttered taking steps closer to him, your hand on your lightsaber. 

Krell instantly responded by pulling Rex's body towards the lightsaber, stopping when his body was just inches away from the tip of the blade, "Stand down Jedi!" he yelled, Rex's face begining to lose color. 

"You will never, EVER treat these men like that, NEVER!" you screamed back, using the force to shove Rex out of Krell's grip as you charged towards Krell, turning on your lightsaber. 

The battle was fichus. The level of emotion you put into the battle was beyond the level of emotion you've ever but into any fight. This wasn't just for you, it was for them, the men, Rex. 

Yet, Krell was just too powerful. You're small body quickly lost adrenaline and you knew you wouldn't win this battle. With all you had left in you, you hacked away, trying to get Krell, but just as you were about to take a swing, he fell to the ground, revealing Rex behind him, with his blaster in stun mode. Quickly, men came in and took him to the brig, leaving you alone with Rex. 

"It's been so long mesh'la," Rex smiled, crashing his body into you. 

"It was nulis, but I sense your disappointment. What's wrong Rex?" you asked, still in his embrace. 

He crashed his lips into yours without answering your question. His kiss made you forget about everything. All of your concern seemed to slip as each second passed. It was almost like his kiss insured you everything was alright. 

But you were far from right.
