"Rex! Time to bang out!" Ashoka snapped, deflecting a red blast with her green saber.

"Yes sir! You heard the general boys." Rex yelled over his shoulder to the couple of troopers behind him.

They all turned and ran, Ashoka deflecting red lasers from behind. Rex swung around and with deadly precision struck down the three remaining droids.

"Nice work Rex." Ashoka praised, deactivating her lightsaber.

Res sighed and removed his helmet, the cool air welcome to his sweat coated face.

"Rex that was the last of them, now we just have to find a way off this plateau. That's where the city is." Ashoka walked over by him.

"Yes.. we could climb down sir, but that would leave us defenseless if they attacked from below." Rex mused, watching his men mull around.

Ashoka glanced at them too," Rest up boys, you'll need it." she chirped patting Rex on the shoulder before walking over to a clone applying first aid to himself.

Rex watched her carefully before turning his attention to his kama.

"Great." he muttered, rubbing the hole a laser must have burned into the kama.

Rex rather hated his new armor. Well, it wasn't that new, but it was still unfamiliar. The helmet was different. More bulky. And his signature jaig eyes were replaced by a simple blue stripe. Even his pauldron was new.

Rex clipped his helmet to his belt and walked over to Ashoka and the injured clone. Ashoka smiled as he approached, as did the helmeted trooper.

"You alright there Fives?" Rex glanced over the seared arm plate now not attached to Fives's arm.

"Yes sir." Fives winced as he replaced the plate," Thanks ma'am."

"Anytime Fives." she beamed, rising from her crouch.

Rex nudged her, "I'll take watch tonight with Karter."

Ashoka frowned," No, you need rest captain, I'll watch tonight. Speaking of rest, eat up. I know those bars are nasty, tasteless things but you need your energy." she sounded almost bossy, but Rex knew better.

"Yes.. sir." he sighed and gazed at the falling sun as it set.

----

"The stars are lovely tonight." Ashoka noted, gazing up into the sky.

"Yes." Karter agreed, also looking up.

"Why don't you take that bucket off? The breeze is nice." she yawned, closing her eyes.

Karter shrugged," It's comfortable sir, I'm used to it."

"Hey can I try it on?" she asked opening her eyes to look at the trooper.

Karter hesitated, then removed his helmet and handed it to her. She looked it over for a second then looked crestfallen.

"Oh.. it won't fit on my head.. I forgot.." she touched her montrals lightly.

"Er... sorry sir." Karter awkwardly took the helmet back and put it back on his head.

Ashoka leaned back to stare at the stars again. She felt Karter's surprise in the force.

"Karter? What wrong?" she glanced at him.

He had gone stiff, helmet cocked, as if he were listening to a odd noise. He stood quickly, Ashoka did the same.

"Karter whats wrong?" Ashoka didn't feel anything in the force that might have dangered them. But something tugged in her gut..

"I'm.. sorry sir." Karter sounded regretful and he raised his blaster.

----

Rex jumped at the shrill scream. Fives awoke as well, glancing around confused. As did Yeez.

"Stay here." Rex grunted as he snatched his blasters.

Sprinting, Rex dashed to the spot of the scream, blasters raised.

"STAND DOWN!" he roared as Karter raised his blaster at a wounded Ashoka.

Karter looked up, startled.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Rex yelled, fury making him clench his teeth.

"Orders.. sir." Karter sounded confused.

Now Rex was confused.

"Who would order you to kill your General? Not me, not her, so who?" he kept his blasters raised, he had dealt with traitors before.

"If your not going to follow orders sir, I will fulfill it." a voice came from behind Rex.

Rex whipped around. Fives and Yeer had there blasters aimed at Ashoka now as well.

"Rex, what's happening?" Ashoka moaned, clutching her shoulder.

Fives fired a shot, Ashoka weakly dodged it. She got to her feet.

"I ORDER you to stand down!" Rex warned.

"Sorry sir, it's not our decision." Yeez fired two shots at Ashoka, one missed but the other hit her arm.

Her wail broke Rex.

"NO!" he yelled, pointing a blaster in both clones faces.

"Sir-" Rex heard another shot, a new scream.

Rex pulled both blaster's triggers. He didn't even watch the clones fall. His target was Karter.

Karter froze, mortified.

"You killed our brothers.." he gasped.

Rex felt a small twang in his heart. He would regret this later.

"Why Karter." he whispered.

Karter must have realized Rex was in kill mode. He stuttered.

"Order 66. The Jeti betrayed us."

"No. Not now, the war is practically over. Jeti are not violent.. their.. peacekeepers." Rex trailed off.

"Rex? What Order 66?" Rex turned to Ashoka, limping and bleeding from her wounds.

Rex paused," Commander, Ashoka, is it true? Are the jeti betraying the Republic?"

Ashoka looked shocked and confused," What? Why would we do that?"

Rex glanced at Karter," Yes, why would they?"

Karter shrugged," I just got the order sir."

Rex squeezed his eyes closed.

"Karter. You must listen to me. Whatever is going on that caused the Order to be said is not here. Ashoka didn't do anything. Understand? She is innocent. Don't.. kill her." Rex empathized the last sentence.

Karter reluctantly nodded. Rex turned to Ashoka, who looked fearful.

"Sir.. Ashoka. Are you ok?" he strained.

Ashoka weakly nodded. Karter stalked to Fives's and Yeez's dead bodies, knealing over them. Rex mournfully watched, regretting his decision to kill them.

He flinched at the touch on his shoulder. He looked down at the Togruta lean onto him.

"Rex.. thank you." she whispered.

Rex smiled. He could remember the first time he met the jeti, she was short, naive. Now her  height had increased, she was reaching his eye level.

"Nothing to thank me for kid."

"Don't call me that, Rexie."

Rex managed a laugh.

"Rex." Ashoka whispered.

"Yes sir?" he automatically replied.

"I.. I love you. I have always wanted to say it. Since.. since I met you you were a friend. Then you just, became more. I.. I just wanted to tell you." she ended quickly.

Rex was frozen in shock. Mind blank.

"Rex?" Ashoka touched him cautiously.

Rex closed his eyes," So you feel the same."

"What?" Ashoka's eyes widened.

"I said, so you feel the same? Ashoka, when I first saw you come from that ship on Christophsis, I admired your spirit. And your boldness. You saved my life when I was downed by Grievous. You helped us out of that virus tainted lab on Naboo. I will tell the truth, every time we were separated I was heart broken, when you were buried in the droid factory I.. I didn't know what I was going to do. Ashoka I love you too." Rex ended quietly.

Ashoka stood still for a moment before collapsing into her captain with a kiss. All the years of yearning went into his kiss, as it did with her's.

The two broke away as Karter returned from burying his brothers.

Rex released Ashoka from his hold and walked back for his helmet. Karter followed.

"You love her, don't you sir?" Karter slowly asked.

Rex briskly nodded.

Karter sighed and waited for Rex to replace his helmet.

"Don't worry sir, I won't tell anyone, but just answer one thing for me." Karter fumbled with a strap on the backpack he wore.

"Yes?" Rex warily answered.

"Where will we go now, I mean, since every jeti in the galaxy is on  a death list, we can't go anywhere.."

Rex stopped him," Don't worry about that now. What we have to think about now is how will we get off this planet before they find us."

"We are going AWOL sir?" Karter looks unsure.

Rex laughed," Yes Karter, we are now going AWOL."

It bothers me how similar this is to the last 2 episodes of season 7 even though this was literally written 11 years ago

Everything proceeded as you foresaw
