Ahsoka stumbled back, she suddenly remembered about Plo koon. He was gone now too. She gasped for breath tearing at her neck. Plo Koon, the Jedi that was more of a father to Ahsoka than anyone. He had helped her when she was just a girl. She heaved, bending over, and choking back tears. No, no, he couldn't be gone. For Ahsoka loved him. There was always a special place in her heart for him ever since she joined the Jedi order. Just the thought of him gone killed her. It felt like her insides were getting tangled together.

Images, memories, flashed through Ahsoka's head faster than she could take. Plo with the wolfpack, the look on his face when he was in battle, how he had shook hands with her when she was only a girl. She fell to her knees and stifled a cry of pain. How could this happen? Why was this happening?

Ahsoka wished she knew. Then maybe she could find a way to stop it before more innocent people got hurt. She pulled herself together, taking deep breaths. Then she snatched the blaster Rex had given her and walked off the ship. She watched as a couple birds flew by, swiftly gliding through the air. There were two of them, and they perched next to each other on a tree branch. The birds snuggled up next to each with a soft coo.

Suddenly Ahsoka heard a low growl. She whirled around searching for what creature was the cause. It snarled again coming from behind her. She tightened her grip on the blaster in her hand. The growling stopped. Then she heard it in front of her. She could just barely make out a rough outline of the creature. But Ahsoka could not tell what it was. The creature began to stalk Ahsoka moving closer and closer to her.

Ahsoka didn't move and just closed her eyes. She felt the force in the creature and could tell where it was moving. It was drawing near to her. Ahsoka wanted to scream. She wanted to shout at the creature and tell it to leave. She wanted to ask the universe why. Why was the world turning upside down? From the Jedi, to the republic, to Rex getting captured, Plo Koon dying, the clones turning, now this. Why did everything bad have to happen to her? But she only stayed silent. She was screaming though, internally.

The creature stayed still behind her and Ahsoka figured it was going in for the kill. It lunged at her and right before it got to her, Ahsoka leapt into the air. She gracefully performed a back flip over the animal, landing gently on her feet. Now that she could see the creature she recognized it.

It was a Kinrath. It was an ugly, mustard, color with a long neck and a nasty look. It bared its fangs and began to circle Ahsoka. There were only a couple types of Kinraths, all of which were dangerous. The worst was the Viper Kinrath. These Kinraths held deadly poison, and were stronger, tougher than any of the other species.

The beast had four grotesque legs and Ahsoka spotted the poison filled stinger near its face. This was a Viper Kinrath. She swallowed hard before aiming the blaster at the creature. It growled in horror and Ahsoka shot it in the neck. The animal screamed in agony and shook its head back and forth. It threw Ahsoka a nasty look then jumped forward, attempting to slice her with its legs. Ahsoka dodged it, swiftly diving to the side.

The Kinrath gave a roar of anger and dug at the ground. The poison tipped stinger glinted in the sunlight, catching Ahsoka's eyes. If only she could cut it off and give the beast a taste of its own medicine. The creature growled and began to charge at Ahsoka. It was mad.

"Take him to a more secure cell!" Dogma barked, "Questioning will begin soon"

The clones on either side of Rex shoved him forward. They had striped him of his stolen armor so that he was back in his regular clothes again. Rex glared at Dogma, only for Dogma to return it right back. The clones led Rex out of the hanger and down a long dark hallway. Wherever they were taking him, it was going to be a lot worse than Rex's previous cell. The lights above them flickered, and the screaming of prisoners set the mood.

The hallway was a lot colder and Rex could see the faint outline of his own breath in the air. He stopped for a moment to think. Maybe they would freeze him to death.

"Keep it moving!" a trooper yelled.

Rex was pushed once more and he stumbled. He didn't fall though, he just kept walking. The clones lead him to a rusted cell. This time there were two doors and no windows. The clones threw Rex inside and shut the doors, still standing outside. They didn't take off his binders, Rex figured that would happen.

This time Rex didn't try to escape. He knew he wouldn't be able to. Not even with his trick from last time. Dogma was right, this place was a lot more secure. In Rex's new cell, there was nothing. Nothing but a blood stained slab, his bed. Rex shivered and sat with his back to the door. He found himself so exhausted that he couldn't help but doze off. He figured he'd just rest his eyes, but that turned into him falling asleep real quick.

Before he knew it, Rex was being shaken awake.

"Huh what?" he mumbled, his eyes fluttering open.

"Time for questioning" a clone grumbled, yanking him to his feet.

Rex gritted his teeth, his whole body ached. The clone opened the door and guided him down the hallway of threatening cells. Rex just stared at the ground. He knew what they wanted. But he wasn't going to give it to them. Not even if they tortured him. Which Rex knew is what was going to happen. That was the so-called "Questioning". Being beaten and pounded for information.

They finally arrived at a disgusting looking door. It was rusted and there was a plethora of colors splattered all over it. It smelled like a mix between sweat, and rotting flesh. Rex knew just by looking at the door, he didn't want to go in there.

The troopers knocked and only seconds later a clone answered. He was wearing all black. Rex could see the splattered blood on his armor. The clone stepped aside to reveal two more troopers dragging their latest victim. It was an older woman. She looked terrible.

Her lip was busted, the blood pouring onto her clothes. She had a black eye and her clothes were torn. There were scratches all over her body and she moaned as they dragged her out of the room. After she left, Rex got a chance to look around at the room he was in. There were four light bulb looking things. Two were on the ceiling, two were on the floor. Containment fields. To the left of that was a table, fit with every tool and device you could ever dream of.

The one weapon that stood out the most was the zygerrian shock whip. Rex remembered back to when Ahsoka, Obi wan, Anakin, and himself had been captured by those slaver scum. Obi wan and him had been forced to work in the mines, surrounded by zygerrian that would kill to make them feel pain. He remembered how the whips would sting after they touched his skin. The places where the whip had hit left permanent scars, and the pain didn't stop for weeks.

The door closed behind him and the two clones guarded the door. The trooper in all black dragged him by the collar to the middle of the containment fields. He pressed a button and Rex was lifted into the air. The containment fields above him held Rex by his arms. The ones below him grasped his legs. Rex found he couldn't move.

"Let the fun begin" snarled the death trooper.

The Kinrath grew closer and right before it hit Ahsoka, she darted to the side. She took the opportunity to shoot it several times in the head. The beast stumbled to the side but didn't look that affected. It ran towards Ahsoka again only this time stopping right in front of her. Ahsoka was taken aback and the Kinrath stabbed her in the arm with its poisonous stinger.

Ahsoka screamed in pain, the stinger digging into her skin. She shot the stinger, knocking it off the creature's head. Then she plunged the blaster into her pocket. The Kinrath howled in fury and staggered, swaying forward. Ahsoka took the stinger in her hand and pressed it into the Kinrath's eye. She jabbed at the animal again and again, slicing the beast with its own stinger. Soon it was covered with scratches and crashed to the ground.

Ahsoka clutched her arm in pain, clenching her jaw. Finally the Kinrath didn't move, it was dead. Ahsoka felt her head getting cloudy and she knew she had to act fast if she wanted to get rid of the poison. She ran onto the ship, falling against the wall and tripping over her own feet. Her vision was getting blurry and everything was beginning to disappear.

Ahsoka threw open the closet of weapons and snatched a knife closest to her. She shut the closet and fell to the ground, feeling weaker by the minute. She studied the dagger, it's jagged tip staring at Ahsoka.

"I can do this" she muttered, "I can do this"

She squeezed her eyes shut and dug the knife into her arm. Blood spilled out of the wound and dripped down her arm. She cried out, then bit her lip to help the throbbing pain. She slowly cut around the wound, the agony unbearable.

This was the only way she would live though, and she had to live. She had to see Rex again, she couldn't die now. She cut out the poison infected area and threw the knife away. It clattered to the ground and the pain was a mixture of stinging and burning sensation.

Ahoska slowly began to feel herself again. Slowly her vision began to return and then her head began to clear. She did it. She was going to be alright. She crawled to the closet and took out some bandages. She took one look at her arm and felt sick to her stomach.

It was covered in blood with a tinge of purple and black from the poison. She wrapped her arm up and tied the bandages tightly. When she was finished she let her head fall to the wall and started to pant. For her the day just kept getting better and better. Where was Rex when she needed him?
