Life Story (Part 5/8?)

Some time had passed since the events of Umbaba, the men and Roxy still weren't the same, really they never would be. But the thoughts of Umbara were pushed to the backs of their minds when news of the temple being bombed spread, many clones were killed along with six Jedi Knights and some maintinence crew, and half of the place was destroyed. Everyone heard rumors about it being an inside job, that maybe it was a rouge Jedi? Roxy didn't want to believe it. 

Ahsoka and some Inspector guy had been investigating, while Roxy tried to wrap her head around everything that had happened, it was all too much, Umbara, now a temple bombing, what was the world coming too? Roxy walked to the Temple and found Anakin talking with Russo-ISC, some droid inspector guy, she didn't care about him, she just needed answers. "General...a word please?" She asked as she removed her helmet, Anakin nodded and walked away a few feet with her, "What's up Roxy?" he asked, she took a moment to gather her thoughts, "Was it really an inside job? A rouge Jedi?" She asked.

"We don't know for sure yet, Ahsoka is interrogating a suspect now, but we still have more suspects to talk with as well, so we won't know, for a while, I'm sorry." He answered, Roxy sighed and nodded, "What's wrong?" Anakin asked after he sensed her distress, "I just don't get it. Why bomb the Temple Hangar? Why do something this horrible?" She asked, distress written into her features, "I don't know, it's a horrible thing, I know, but some people just don't like what we're trying to do-" "People don't like that we risk our lives for them everyday!? They don't give a shit about us, they just don't want to have to hear about the war, they just want to play the blame game, and say it's he Jedi's fault!" She yelled. Anakin placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You can't blame the people, the only people to blame are the Sepratists." He said, Roxy ran a hand through her hair and nodded, "Go get some rest, we'll handle this." He told her. Roxy saluted and walked away, back to the Barracks, she opened the door and was greeted by Rex and the others, "Where've you been?" Rex asked, "I went to talk to the General about this bombing, I just don't get it, and I don't want to have to think about anything right now.." She replied. "I know kid, I know. But we'll find the bastard who did this and put 'em where they belong." Rex reassured her, "Yeah, six foot under in the cold ground." She mumbled through gritted teeth.

Rex had noticed she had changed a bit since Umbara, he took her into the other room and sat down with her, "What's wrong Roxy? You've been off since...y'know.." He started, "I just...this war is getting out of hand, Umbara made me realize that, Rex we killed our own Vod because we were told by a crooked Jedi that they were Umbarans, the Temple was bombed because someone's trying to send a message and show that we aren't as strong as we think we are. This war has gone on too long....I want it to end, I want to be happy again.." She trained off, Rex frowned, "Roxy, I want the war to end too, but I don't know what happens to us when the war ends, we might be frozen in carbonite until the next war." He started, "And I know Umbara was screwed up, I'm still not right after it, none of us are, but as long as we're all together, we can be happy." He finished.

(Time skip, Ahsoka is suspected as the bomber and is on the run*)

"I know Commander Tano, she would never do something like this!" Rex argued with Commander Fox, "Well, Guilty men don't run!" Fox shouted back, "Fox shut up!" Roxy yelled, "We know her better than your worthless ass, she's our friend, she was framed!" She finished her sentence, Fox scowled but didn't say anything, "Alright, you take the General and go that way, me and Rex will take this way!" She took charge and they ran off separate ways, they spotted Ahsoka by the plant, she was running along some pipes and went down into what Roxy assumed were the sewers. 

"Ahsoka!" She shouted, "Soka!" Rex yelled. They split up and cut her off, "I won't hesitate to kill you both, your just gonna take me back to the prison, I'm innocent!" Ahsoka pleaded, "Kid, I know you won't kill me, and we know your innocent." Rex said calmly, "Ahsoka, we're your best friends, we know you'd never do something like this, we know you were framed." Roxy added, Ahsoka sighed, "What about Anakin? Does he trust me? Does he believe me?" She asked, "Yes, he's with us, he believes you." Rex said.
