A Word from the Author: So...this is it. The final chapter of "Ahsoka on Umbara". My most popular story at the moment. Well...*sighs*...let the final chapter begin.
Ahsoka's POV:
I woke up and reconized, that I had woken up too early. My master was still snoring next to me and the clones were still asleep either...except for one. I kinda knew, that it was Dogma. He has been down, since we found out, that Master Krell was a traitor. I left my tent and jogged through the whole camp, until I found Dogma, sitting on the ground all by himself. I decided to sit down next to him. He quickly spotted me.
"I know I shouldn't sit around here at this time. Sorry, if I woke you up Commander.", he whispered and wanted to leave, but I made him sit again.
For a short time we just sat there and watched the stars, until Dogma sighed.
"It's my fault, that we are in this situation now.", he whispered.
I couldn't belive, what I was just hearing. Sure...Dogma had defended Krell, but he did not know about the fact, that he had been a traitor. He wouldn't be so down, if he had.
"No it isn't Dogma. Nobody could've forseen this. He was a traitor and he alone is the one to take the blame for this. Not you.", I whispered.
"The situation of Fives, Hardcase and Jesse is MY FAULT! I ALONE was the one, who told Krell about your secret mission! I'm also the one to blame for all this!", Dogma cried out.
Even though he turned Fives, Jesse, Hardcase and me in, I couldn't be mad at Dogma. It was just in his personallity to follow orders, so he wouldn't get in any trouble, but sometimes excatly this gets you into a great deal of trouble.
"I wish I could earase it and start it all over.", Dogma sighed.
"You still remember our plan to confront Krell? You could take part.", I whispered.
"I will Commander. This monster has to be caught for all this. As long as he is free, we can't stand a chance against the Umbarans and we won't have a chance to win this battle.", Dogma whispered.
"Now...let's get some rest.", I said.
This time Dogma didn't tell me, that he was fine. He just nodded and jogged over to his tent. I also went back to mine. My master was still asleep and I lied down, pulled my blanket over me and fell aslepp again.
I jogged through the forest, with Fives, Jesse and Hardcase on my heels. I managed to break into the prison wing of the Umbaran airbase and get them outta it. Now they were in their full armors, they had their helmets on and they had blasters into their hands. Master Kenobi and Master Skywalker had rounded up the clones in the forest. I was the one to give the last orders, before we would start this thing.
"We all know who is responsible for what happened out there. What we don't know is why. Something has to be done and our orders are to arrest Master Krell for treason against the republic.", I said.
The clones began to cheer. Especially Fives, Hardcase, Jesse, Appo, Rex, Tup and Dogma. It didn't surprise me at all.
O=======================================O
The clones were ready and so was I. We were the first group to confront him. The doors opened and the clones jogged in. I followed them, with a hand on one of my lightsabers.
"General Krell, you're being released of duty.", Rex siad.
"It's treason then!", Krell said, but neither of us was afraid.
The clones raised their weapons.
"Surrender General!", Rex said, pulling out his two blasters.
"Explain your actions!", I ordered.
"My actions?", Master Krell asked faked.
"To order your troops against one another.", I excaimed.
"Oh...that.", he whispered, making it sound dangerous, but we didn't go away.
"Surrender Master Krell. You're outnumbered.", I said, but the next time he force-pushed us against the wall.
"You dare to attack a jedi!", he excaimed.
Then he activated his double-bladed lightsabers and began to slaughter clones. The shots of the clones were blocked easily by him, but as he wanted to slaughter unconscious clones, I quickly activated my lightsabers and stopped him. I remembered the day, I fought General Grivieous, when I was younger, as I said this.
"Sorry to interrupt your playtime, but would you prefere a real challange?", I asked grinning.
"That wouldn't be you Padawan!", he excaimed.
We began to battle, until he jumped right through the window.
"Get him!", a clone excaimed from down.
I jumped through the broken window and landed with the force. I quickly followed him, but he force-pushed a trooper really hard, before escaping into the forest. The trooper pinned me down, but he was alright. He quickly rolled off me.
"Sorry Commander.", he whispered.
"It wasn't your fault.", I awnsered, as I stood up.
My master and Master Kenobi ran to us at this moment.
"Well...that won't be so easy after all.", Skyguy mumbled.
"Well...I'd say let's do it.", I replied.
"Troopers, don't let Master Krell escape.", Skyguy ordered then.
"Anybody got anything?", I later asked into my commlink.
We had split up to find Krell quicker. We stayed in contact over commlinks. I was pattrolling into some area, along with Rex, Fives, Jesse and some other troopers.
"Negative Commander. We lost him.", a trooper's voice came outta my commlink, but suddenly I heared lightabers humming and troopers screaming.
"He's too...powerful...HURRY!", a troopers voice came outta my commlink.
Suddenly everything was quiet. No screams came outta my commlink anymore. Master Krell had slaughtered them all. Suddenly we all heared Master Krell's voice.
"You should've listened to your instincs from the beginning padawan.", the voice said.
The clones readied their weapons. I quickly activated my lightsabers.
"You were right, with not trusting me.", the voice added and then Master Krell landed in front of us from outta nowhere.
"You've all been my minions!", he excaimed.
"GET HIM!", Rex excaimed.
The clones were running up to him. The most of them were killed by Krell's lightsabers. Then he deactivated them and killing clones, with breaking their necks, tossing them against trees and so much more. I quickly stopped him and the battle between the two of us was on again.
aouaouaouaouaouLC
Parry, block, attack, jump, parry, strike, duck, block, jump, attack. The battle was going through the forrest of Umbara. Master Krell aimed for my legs with one of his lightsabers, but I quickly jumped. As I landed he aimed for my head, but I managed to block. I had to admit, that this battle was wearing me out, while Krell did not look exausthed ONE BIT! Suddenly I spotted one of the Umbaran Killer-Plants and had a great idea: If I could lead him to one of the plants, I could win this fight and knock him out. My strategy was now to fight deffensive, so I could lead him to the plant. It worked it actually worked. The plant wrapped one of its tentacles around Krell and tossed him trough the air, while I ordered the troopers to my position. Tup acted quickly and opened fire at the plant, so it released Master Krell. Then Tup stunned him.
"I stunned him Commander.", he said panting.
"Nice work Tup.", I complimented him, while Rex and Fives put binders around his wrists and I commed my master and Master Kenobi, to tell them, that we managed to arrest Master Krell.
))))))))))))))))))AoU((((((((((((((((((((((
My master, Master Kenobi, Rex, Cody, Jesse, Hardcase, Kix, Fives, Tup, Dogma, Waxer, Boil and I were taking the elevato r into the prison wing of the Umbaran air base.
We finally had managed to arrest the traitor Krell. As we stood in front of his cell, I began to ask questions.
"Why Master Krell? Why all this stuff? Why did you betray the republic? Why did you betray the jedi?", I asked.
"I am NO LONGER naive enough to be a jedi! A new power is rising. I've forseen it. The jedi are going to lose this war and the republic will be ripped apart from the inside.", he said.
I was sure, that he was just trying to confuse me. The jedi are gonna lose this war? The jedi were serving the republic, so how were excatly WE supposed to lose this war? And ho.w should the Republic be ripped apart from the inside? This did not make sense at all. I was sure, that he had gone mad and I saw his yellow eyes. The eye-colour of the Sith, as my Master had told me.
"You're an agent of Dooku!", I hissed.
"Not yet, but when I get outta here I will be. After I've suceeded to drive the republic forces away from Umbara, the Count will reward my actions and make me his new apprentice.", Krell said.
"How could you do this? You had my trust, my loyalty, I followed ALL of of your orders and you made me kill my brothers!", Dogma suddenly excaimed.
I saw Fives place a comforting hand onto Dogma's shoulder. Everyone of us had been fooled, but since Dogma was a bit naive, one of the newer guys and trusting quickly it had hit him extra hard. Ouch!
"That's because you are the biggest fool of them all Dogma! I counted on blind loyalty like yours to me my plan suceed.", Krell said and laughed evilly.
Double ouch for Dogma on this one. We had all been used by Krell, but Dogma had been used the most. I felt sorry for him. As Fives wrapped his arm around his shoulder, he began to relax slightly and then I saw Dogma giving Fives a look, that said "Thank you" and Fives returned a look, that said "No problem vod". That was the Fives I knew. He was always there to help, when his brothers needed him and he was able to forgive. He just wasn't able to forgive himself, after this incident in the "Citadel", but that was another story.
"That'll never happen. You're a traitor General and you will be dealt with this time.", Rex spoke up next to me.
"You'll never learn Captain. The Umbarans are going to retake this base and when they do it, I'll be free.", Krell said.
All hell had broken loose into the Umbaran airbase. Troopers were running around everywhere, Masters Skywalker and Kenobi gave orders and more and more troopers got onto the primitor. Appo had been in the tower, trying to get the transmitter working, so he could send a call for re-inforcements, since we could not take them all on our own. Now I saw him jogging over to us, since I was sitting onto some boxes, with Rex, Fives, Jesse, Hardcase, Kix, and Tup.
"It looks like the transmitter was sabotaged Commander Tano. I couldn't get a clear signal.", Appo mumbled.
"Krell sabotaged the transmitter, I just know it. He's been against us from the beginning.", I snarled.
"If the Umbarans get to him, they'll turn over ALL our intel. The defense codes, EVERYTHING! They'll strike a serious blow to the republic.", Fives said.
"Something has to be done. We can not risk the possibility, that he might escape.", Jesse said.
"As long as Krell's alive, he is a threat to everyone of us.", Tup said.
"I agree.", Rex sighed.
O===============O====O=O==OO=O=O
We were all in the prison wing again. Rex had pulled out one of his blasters. He wanted to execute Krell personally. Jesse had unlocked the shield of Krell's cell.
"Turn around. Step towards the wall.", Rex commanded and Krell did so.
"On your knees.", Rex said.
"You're in the position of power now. How does it feel?", Krell asked.
Oh no! He was starting to mess with Rex's mind. He was beginning to get scared.
"I said ON YOUR KNEES!", Rex growled.
Krell did so, but he did not interrupt his mind-game.
"It feels good, doesn't it? But I can sense your fear.", Krell said.
He was using Rex's fear against him. He tried to force himself to pull the trigger, but his arm was already beginning to shake.
"You're shaking, aren't you?", Krell said grinning.
"I HAVE to do this!", Rex chocked out.
Whatever Krell was doing with him, he tired to fight it off, but he wasn't really sucessfull. I hated to watch him like this and I was angry with Krell for doing this. I wanted to take one of my lightsabers and kill him now, but then my master told me something through our bond.
"Don't use your saber yet Snips. I'm sure someone else will kill him.", I heared Skyguy in my mind and suddenly a blaster bolt zipped through the room, missing Jesse and me by a few inches and hitting Krell the traitor into the back.
He was dead imidiatley. Dogma had fired at Krell instead of Rex. He had taken one of Fives's blasters. He was breathing heavily, while handing the blaster to Fives.
"I-I had to. He...betrayed us.", he chocked out.
I couldn't help it. I had to smile. The traitor Krell was dead. My master was back with us and neither of us had to be worried about staying alive because of our leader. In war you should be worried about staying alive because of your enemy, but not because of your own leader.
"Dogma?", I heared my master mumble.
"Yes...General?", I heared Dogma mumbling back.
"Good work!", my master said, smiling at Dogma.
Dogma smiled back at him. I didn't know, if he was forcing himself to smile, or, if he really realized what he had just done.
=OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO=
We were all in hangar 9-4, waiting for the gunships to land. Some new troopers were coming. Since the incidnets of the last days, we had to call for backup to take the capital of Umbara. Suddenly I feeled someone tapping me onto the shoulder. I quickly turned around to face Skyguy.
"You did good Ahsoka. If it hadn't been for you, many of our men would've died needlessly.", he said.
"Master, can I ask you a question?", I asked.
"Sure Snips.", he said.
"What is the point of all this? I mean...why?", I sighed.
"I don't know Snips. I think no one knows it, but I do know many things. For example, that this war has one danger: To forget, who we are. We are peacekeepers Snips, no soliders. You have kept this in your heart. Other then Krell, who was leaded to the dark side and there is one thing I know for sure: Someday this war is gonna end.", Skyguy mumbled, before he took my hand and leaded me back to the others.
Soon we were finally going to take that capital and this would bring us all one step closer to peace in the galaxy.
Ending Word: It is done. This story is done. I want to give a big thank you to all of you, who've read this story, for reading a reviewing. I'd love, if you'd leave some reviews behind, before you return to the battlefields to take the capital of the eney. Well...as usual I'll say bye, bye aaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnndddd...
may the force be with you!
