A Lost Soldier

Chapter 7 - I didn't put in a request

Crucible's POV

We just arrived at Coruscant. Our ship breaks orbit and we see a commander Fox with a small squad waiting for us. The ship touches down and I walk out of the ship with my squad behind me. Fox looks at me. I stare at him with an intensity that would kill a Rancor.

Crucible: Hello Commander Fox, are you here for a reason?

Fox: Hello Commander Crucible, we have been sent by Master Windu to collect you.

I stare him down. He begins to back down,

Crucible: I can collect myself, move aside Fox.

He moves out of the way and I walk towards the Jedi Council room. Once I am outside the door I take a deep breath and walk inside the room. All the Jedi look at me and I see a padawan as well. I look at him and he goes for his saber. I use the force to take it from him, I inspect the hilt and chuckle.

Crucible: Not bad Newbie. *turns to the Jedi* Why have I been summoned Masters?

Windu: We felt a dark disturbance in the force. When we all tried to find it, it led us to you. Anything you would like to tell us Trooper?

I look at him, my expression flat and null of any emotion.

Crucible: No. There is nothing to report Master Windu, will that be all?

I see Master Yoda shake his head. The door opens and Master Kenobi and Skywalker walk in.

Crucible: Hello Generals, what is going on?

They look at each other and sigh,

Kenobi: The jedi council has decided to assign one random Jedi, a padawan. Your name somehow ended up in the selector of Jedi Knights and this padawan was quite excited when we told her about you.

I look at the padawan, she is average height maybe five foot five. Her lightsaber hilt is constructed of Damascus Beskar. She wears robes that look like Master Skywalker's and armor on her shoulders, knees, and a breastplate. Her hair is shoulder length but pulled into a bun, blue eyes and jet black hair. She looks down sad as I haven't said anything in about a minute, I sigh and whistle. She looks up and I toss her, her lightsaber. She looks at me with wonder in her eyes

Crucible: You have potential kid. What's your name?

She starts to bounce a little where she is standing.

???: My name is Natalie. I'm glad to be working with you Mas-

Crucible: 1. Don't call me Master, 2. Do you mind if I call you Nat?

She nods and I sigh. I look at Anakin to see him chuckle a little.

Crucible: How is Ashoka, Master Skywalker?

He freezes in his spot, he looks at me and slightly glares. I chuckle and walk to the door. I turn around to see that Nat hasn't moved. I look directly at her,

Crucible: Are you coming or not? I don't have all day.

She runs over and I walk out of the room with her right behind me,

Nat: Where are we going Commander?

I stop walking and look at her,

Crucible: Literally call me anything that isn't a ranking officer to you.

She looks at me confused,

Nat: Why? You a Jedi Knight aren't you?

Crucible: No Nat, I am a clone trooper in the galactic republic.
