Rex

"I'm not a half-life."

[luxettenebra]

“What happened? I haven’t heard anything, honestly.” she admitted.

“You were the former Captain of the 501st. Why don’t you know the contingency orders? I thought all officers knew them.”

[rex7567-blog]

“I know most, but that one should never be used ----- He decided to tell the men that they can use the Order on whoever they dislike.” He then shrugged, “Honestly, I doubt things will go over too well, but... to be blunt? The power is going to his head ---- Order 66 is when the Jedi have to be eliminated. Thus, he’s having a field day.” 

[herowithmuchfear]

Anakin knew Rex only agreed to drop the conversation, and that was probably a good thing.

“We…we were friends before the war, he was a Jedi, and one of my closest friends at the Temple.” He explained. “Things just…got more complicated once the war started…and he left the Order.”

[rex7567-blog]

Yes, Rex knew that the war did complicate matters, but that still didn’t explain for why he was still involved with a known enemy of the Republic. He could have brought up past cases where this lead to disaster, but he was willing to keep his mouth shut for the moment.

“Your friend isn’t even your friend anymore. You know that right? Think of all the lives he’s taken. Wouldn’t you want to do what is best for him rather than yourself?”

Ahsoka tucked her saber back in its holder on her belt, clearing her throat a little. The girl rubbed her arm sheepishly, noting the rather awkward tone in the room; She too was a Commander, whom the Clones called ‘sir’ and took orders from, and she had to remind herself that she was probably acting rather unprofessional, in Rex’s eyes. She blushed a little in embarrassment, scuffing her feet on the ground beneath her.

       “O-Oh, uh, that’s really good, yeah.” She mumbled, trying to regain a calm composure. Ahsoka Tano was a spitfire. She was passionate about everything she did, and that bled into her social interaction. She hadn’t meant to be so outgoing, but then again, that was another reason Anakin hadn’t initially liked her very much, when they first met. The Togruta was hit by a wave of self consciousness, but she was tough, and would not succumb to it, so she smiled softly, bowing her head.

       “I know you can handle it Rex, no-one can get past you and live to tell the tale.” She said with a little laugh. She leaned against the wall, ascar on her arm from an earlier mission catching her attention. Blue eyes lingered on it as she thought of what else to say. “I saw pinups in your break room Rex.” She mumbled with a smirk. “You or the boys got your eyes on anyone?” She was trying her hardest to make small talk, and it was true, she and Anakin had joked about those posters, but then again, the general probably had his own.

[rex7567-blog]

              To say the very least, the Captain of the 501st was trying to keep a straight face at the final comment, but ended up getting very uncomfortable at the last moment. He didn’t even think anyone knew about the pinups, but then again? It wasn’t as if he really payed attention to them anyways. 

            Suffice to say, to the general population of the Galaxy, they were nothing more than numbers, and clones. They, in essence, couldn’t be anything else, and most didn’t even think the war would end with them alive. Either way, he couldn’t deny the nagging feeling that he should answer, but he didn’t know how to in the long run.

          “The boy’s might.” He finally managed to get out even though he was still a bit hesitant in the long run to say anything, “I, don’t really have many interests.” Now, that was a lie --- he thought of a life outside of the GAR when the war ended, but that simply wasn’t possible for the time being. In fact, he tried to ignore most of the life outside of the 501st to keep him stable, but eventually, that would come back to bite him in the long run.

            It was then that he rubbed the back of his head for a moment, “I’ve been doing decently, Ahsoka. Just been thinking about a few recent things is all. Nothing much, but my mind keep’s going back to a person from long ago.”

[rex7567-blog]

And I got my drafts done here for now.

[emanciipate-archive]

She hadn’t meant to be so enthusiastic, but the mission had taken… FAR too long. Ahsoka missed her friend. When he returned the hug, she hummed CONTENTLY, before pulling away and biting her bottom lip as she thought.

      “It’s been too long… So much has happened. How have the others been? How have you been holding up Rex?” The Padawan asked, taking her lightsaber from her belt and tossing the sheath of it into the AIR, and catching it.

[rex7567-blog]

       In all respects, Ahsoka was, in essence, acting far too excited for his own tastes. Yes, he should have been used to it by now, but he hadn’t actually cared that much to in his own mind. He was the one everyone looked to in the 501st, he was a Commander, and a captain. 

         Yet, he had known it had been a while, but time had simply managed to slip away from him.... even if he knew it hadn’t been that way in all reality, “The 501st is fine.” He stated in a calm manner, “Nothing we can’t handle.” It was a trained response, but one that was also the truth of the matter all the same. They had been doing decently well, but that was another story entirely, and wasn’t needed for the time being.

@rex7567

Being on the run wasn’t easy. Being one of the most wanted people in the Galaxy wasn’t easy. But Caleb, now Kanan was making his due. However, he didn’t expect to run into a Trooper…and from the looks of his armor, one from the 501st battalion. They’d been famous in the Clone Wars, under General Skywalker…but now they served the Empire…like the rest of the Clones.

He pulled his blaster to late-no longer using his lightsaber. The knife caught him and he stumbled back, “No…no-don’t do this. I’m not one any more.”

[blindedspectre]

Kanan’s hand shook a little, “I’m not a Jedi.” No what he was, was a scared child. Last time he’d been around Clones they’d killed his Master and hunted for him.

He swallowed thickly, the choices running through his head. His arms lowered and his shoulders sagged. He let the blaster fall to the ground again. He was a coward, he always would be. He solidified that the moment he’d listened to his Master and ran from her.

“I…wont put up a fight.”

[rex7567-blog]

Rex was trying to be decent --- he didn’t need to be a force sensitive to know he was scared, but attacking him wouldn’t be the best motive. In fact, it would be a horrible one, and even the Clone knew what would happen if he took him in as a Jedi.

It would either result in his death or some sort of training program under Vader, but he was hoping he would be able to protect him --- it wasn’t due to the fact he was a Jedi or even Padawan. In fact, it was due to the fact that what he was doing, in essence, was right, and that was why he let a deep breath escape his lips, “This isn’t the Republic, kid.” He stated bluntly, “The name is Rex.”

[chaos-squad]

The young Force-child knew well why Rex didn’t like her father, though she knew, too, that he liked her mother. Most clones did, after she got her hands on them and was allowed to have her fun with them.

She grinned at his words, giving a happy squeak and darting forward to catch his hand in her own. “Come on, then! Let’s play! And if Daddy gets mad at you, tell him I made you late. I’m sure Mama will protect you as best she can as well.”

[rex7567-blog]

“I know she will.” He managed to get out lightly, her father might not have been the best of men, but in essence, he was decent --- if you followed Orders down to the simple letter of them. Yes, it wasn’t something he liked, but it was something that he had to get used to.

Either way, a faint nod was given as her hand grabbed his own, “If I get in trouble, it’s your fault -- you know that, right?”

“Execute Order 66.”

Anakin heard the words, he and Rex were out scouting alone. He turned towards Rex to late when there was a sharp pain in his side as a blade entered him. A pained gasp left him and he stumbled away from him. “R-Rex?” He looked at him with wide eyes.

[herowithmuchfear]

Anakin closed his eyes tightly as Rex moved his blaster. Really just preparing himself for the shot.

But, it didn’t come and he slowly looked up at Rex, he was obviously still struggling. He threw out his hand and knocked the blaster away with the Force. “I believe in you Rex,” He said, forcing himself up to his feet. “You..you can fight this.”

[rex7567-blog]

“Execute Order 66.” The Clone Repeated once again, “ Have to Execute the Order.” The ORDER that had been drilled into his head since he was created... the MISSION he needed to to full. It was HARD for anyone to actually RESIST that Order, they were made to EXTERMINATE the Jedi, and ye, here Rex couldn’t.

In a mater of MOMENTS the blaster was knocked away with the Force and he moved to grip his head as tightly as possible, “Fighting... as best... as I can.” He finally managed to get out, “Must... kill the Jedi.”

Ahsoka nodded softly “Alright… I’m just thinking where the best place to check would be… I can check the library…” she offered “But I don’t think we’ve been keeping clone prisoner records there…” she looked at him almost sad. 

[rex7567-blog]

Even Rex knew that was obvious, they didn’t keep all the records where they were, but that didn’t mean that they couldn’t try. If they could, in essence, just get some information, it would be worth it --- No one went missing from a cell... not even a clone. It just wasn’t possible.

“It might get us started in the right direction at least.” He stated bluntly.

[herowithmuchfear]

“…What rumors?” Anakin asked, though he knew exactly what rumors he was talking about. “The Senator of Naboo and I are just friends Rex.” He tried to tell him. “And I never said it wasn’t, I just…let my guard down…it’s-complicated.”

[rex7567-blog]

“Yes, you’re just friends.” Rex didn’t believe that one bit, but he wasn’t about to say anything about that as he rubbed at his chin, “Right, it’s complicated, but how complicated is it?” 

[rex7567-blog]

"Rexster!" A young Togruta teenager exclaimed, running up to the Clone and hugging him. "I'm back! I missed you so much!" -- emanciipate [ hope this is okay ^^; ]

@emanciipate

Well, there were MANY things he was expecting when Ashoka returned, but for her to actually run up and hug him? It was a bit uncomfortable to say the very least, but he made sure to let that emotion FADE just as quickly as it was born in his mind as he moved to hug her back, “I missed you to, Ahsoka.”

“Execute Order 66.”

Anakin heard the words, he and Rex were out scouting alone. He turned towards Rex to late when there was a sharp pain in his side as a blade entered him. A pained gasp left him and he stumbled away from him. “R-Rex?” He looked at him with wide eyes.

[herowithmuchfear]

Anakin’s eyes widened as Rex pulled out his blaster. His grip tightened on his lightsaber. “No Rex, this isn’t you.” What was happening? Rex would never turn on him, not like this. After everything they’d been through? What was Order 66?

Then, more pain hit him as he felt the deaths of hundreds no thousands of Jedi across the Galaxy. He dropped his saber and put his hands to his head. It was to much. “No…no…please Rex, you can fight it, I know you can.”

[rex7567-blog]

Rex kept his grip on the blaster, he had to pull the trigger --- everything in his mind told him to, and so he lifted it right towards Anakin’s face, “I’m sorry, General.” He finally said flatly, “Good soldiers follow Orders.” 

A moment passed and then another as he kept the blaster were it was, “Execute Order 66... Execute Order 66..” He kept repeating several times over, “Must... kill the Jedi....” Of course, he didn’t pull the trigger... not yet anyways.

Ahsoka nodded thinking hard for a while. “So what would you like my help with?” she asked “I haven’t heard anything about him since we arrested him in the first place.”

[rex7567-blog]

It was going to be difficult to exactly state what he needed help with --- it could have been anything at this rate, but he was still going to try for the most part. If he could at least find out what happened to him, that would be the best thing possible, and then he could move on from there. 

“I just need to see if we can find him. I would have informed the General, but he’s.... a bit busy right now. This could also be nothing more than a guess, but I am still going to try to go after him. He’s a Traitor and should be treated as such.”
