"Alright boys, secure the escape pods, two of you stay behind and protect the entrance to the ship," Rex said into his helmets intercom.

"Aye aye, sir." followed straight after as the clones ran down the halls of the ship, splitting off, securing the escape pods.

"Krieg?" the Mandalorian said, cocking her head to the side. While hung up on the name, she slowly realized the situation she was in, he was fully naked and she was without her armour.

Before she got a word out of her mouth, Krieg spoke up.

"Yes, I am naked, yes you don't have your armour on, it is over there in the corner, and you are now my subordinate. Now, we leave." The Mandalorian was left in shock as she robotically rose from the bed and equipped her armour.

Krieg was fine having his willy all nilly, but if he wanted to be taken seriously, he would need clothes. Checking through the clothes, he found a pair of black pants, and a red coat resembling the coats commissars wore in the war, he would just we're his combat boots, stretching them out, all that was missing was the hat, and unfortunately, they didn't have one.

After both Krieg and the Mandalorian finished dressing up, Krieg spoke up.

"Now, we are going to go to the escape pods, which are probably guarded." Krieg walked out the door, leaving the Mandalorian by herself in the room.

She stood in the room, flabbergasted by the confidence of this man, the events between the two made no sense, and strangely enough, she found herself drawn to him, she had a guarded belief in this man, could he become a third party in this war? Could she join him? While she stood there, for what felt like hours, she ran out the door and sprinted after the man named Krieg.

Across one of the lower hallways of the ship, 8 clones had been stationed on either side of the escape pods.

"Do you think we get holidays in the future?" one of the many lines spoke up.

"Nope, I'm the oldest amongst us, and I haven't had one yet." one of their other clones responded.

"That's a shame, I would use all the credits I got to get a room in a ship like this." The clone said with some regret in his voice.

"Too bad it won't happen, on the bright side, we are soldiers, and good soldiers follow orders."

The clone chuckled at the response. "Yeah, guess your right, Rig."

After a few minutes, a slight tug on each clone's arms caused them to turn their heads to the end of the long hallway, there they saw a tall man adorned with a red coat, his hands in his pockets. Each step made the tug on their shoulders more violent.

"What the hell!" One of the many clones whisper and shouted.

One of the clones tensed their jaw and aimed their gun at him, moving into the middle of the room.

" Who are you, the escape pods have been shut off due to a dangerous fugitive, state your business!" The clone shouted.

"Do you understand the weight of responsibility you carry when you aim a gun at the will of the emperor?" Krieg said as he continued to approach.

The clone furrowed his eyebrows, though no one would notice thanks to the helmet. "Turn back, otherwise you will be considered a threat to the Republic!"

Krieg continued to approach, and the violent tug started to pierce their shoulder, pulling them to the ground.

The clones all realized that he is a dangerous man, but their orders are to stop anyone from leaving. The line that stood out, fired a shot, missing the man entirely as the round whipped past his ear, the piercing tug throwing him to the floor.

Krieg took his hands out of his pockets, going from a walk to a sprint.

"Find anything, Snips?" Anakin called for. The other side of the storage room.

"No, nothing yet." Snips were still caught up on the naked man she saw, her imagination ran wild.

Anakin's wrist began beeping. Anakin pulled his wrist to his face. "What's going on Rex?"

"Sir, we've lost contact with the clones on the West Wing."

Anakin jumped out from his search and called over Ahsoka. " Rex, stay where you are, Ahsoka and I will check it out." Anakin switched off the call and ran down the many hallways.

After bobbing and weaving through the many hallways, and jumping downstairs, they found the west hallway where the lines were set up in. There they saw down the far end of the hallway, was enough for Ahsoka to turn away and Anakin's stomach turn.

They saw the bodies of clones lather the floor, their blood painting the interior red, as Anakin and Ahsoka walked closer, they saw shards of broken armour and blasters scatter the floor, sticking to the blood.

"Who could have done this?" Ahsoka was brought to tears as her heart clenched and she began to choke.

Anakin stayed silent, anger filling his heart, making him grip his lightsaber with hatred. He snapped his eyes up as he heard weak grunting from further down, there he saw a man in a red coat, blood covering his hands, splatted on his gas mask, dragging a clone by his head. Anakin could just hear the breathing echo through his gas mask.

When Anakin found the source of his anger, he didn't hesitate to charge the man, leaving Ahsoka behind.

Anakin's anger came from the care he had for every clone, they fought beside him in every battle, saved his life countless times, and pulled off his plans without complaint or problem, those same clones now had their blood sprayed against the floor, walls and ceiling.

Krieg saw the charging Anakin, this was going to be a test for Krieg, he heard of these "Jedi" from the Mandalorian, so he wanted to test if they are truly powerful and if they were, then they would become worthy assets in the future.

As Anakin charged, Krieg threw the line in his hands effortlessly. Anakins anger subsided for a second as he has to react quickly. Anakin used the force to catch the clone before they hit each other, just as Anakin caught the clone, their stomach burst open as a hand erupted out, grabbing Anakin's face, and slamming him into the ground.

The clone's life drained from his eyes, he cried out in pain on top of Anakin. "Sorry, sir, I failed the-"

Anakin could do nothing but watch as the line was ripped in two, his face split in half, the sounds of his bones breaking, his muscles tearing, and his innards spilling over Anakin.

The brutality left Anakin stunned, once he looked into the gas mask's visors, he could see nothing, the horrors of war smashed into Anakin, fear overcame him and he could only lay there in the blood and guts of his comrades, sinking into the floor.

Ahsoka saw her master on the ground, not moving or attacking. She blocked out the blood in the hallway and dashed down the hallway at super speed and colliding with Krieg.

Krieg was slid across the blood, only to stop a few feet away. "Hello, Xeno." Ahsoka ignited her lightsabers and looked at the man, but once she saw the gas mask, her mind flashed the image of the naked man across her mind, and her eyes wandered into Krieg's eyes. She felt small hands glide across her skin, tickling her as she tried to escape their grasp, the hands left a tingling sensation of pleasure on her skin, and they began to wrap themselves around her skin, creeping close to her inner thighs and chest, until it all stopped. The pleasure, the tickles, and the tingles were gone, behind her was her master, still flabbergasted and the hallway of blood, the man was gone and so was one of the escape pods.

They had failed to capture the fugitive.
