"Rex!! At your left!!" Shouted the familiar voice of Anakin. Rex looked to the left, shooting the battle droid that would've killed him. As it fell down, he looked around. He saw.... Ahsoka, Tup, Fives.... All alive and well.

"Wait..... Lord Vader, what battle are we in?" Rex asked. Anakin looked to him strangely.

"Who's 'Lord Vader'?" Anakin asked. Rex shook his head.

"It's nothing. What battle are we in, General Skywalker?" It slipped off of his tounge so fast. It felt.... good. Saying that name again made him feel at home.

"Rex, are you feeling okay? Do you remember anything?" Anakin asked, concern in his voice.

"Master! I'm going to press forward!" Ahsoka said while jumping ahead. He looked forward, seeing a dim red light behind the horde of droids heading their way.

"Ahsoka, be careful! Dooku could be with that horde of droids!" Anakin yelled into his intercom. Ahsoka smiled to him.

"Master, I'm all grown up! I don't need you to protect m-AHHHHHHH!!!" Anakin looked forward, seeing all of the droids with their blasters down, making a path. Down that path, he saw a man cloaked in black. He wielded a red lightsaber, and was force choking Ahsoka. Rex immediately recognized him.

"Oh no......" He said under his breath. The dark lord looked to Rex.

"I find your lack of faith..... disturbing." He said, drawing Ahsoka towards him. Doing so, he impaled her with the ruby red Lightsaber.

"Ahsoka!" Anakin shouted. The dark lord drew his saber, leaving Ahsoka to fall to the ground. Anakin's expression turned from shock to anger. Then to hate. He looked up and grabbed one of Ahsoka's lightsabers from the ground, igniting it. He hand his other Lightsaber in hand, and held them like Asajj Ventress would have. Dual lightsabers.

"Good. Let the hate flow through you. Be powered by the dark side." The dark lord said. Rex put his hand on the shoulder of Anakin.

"He wants you to kill him. Don't do it General." Anakin lifted his head.

"I need to avenge her...." Anakin said under his breath. Rex looked to the dark lord, hearing the cold breathing from his helmet's respirator.

"He's going to die Rex!" Anakin shouted, dashing towards the dark lord. He immediately tried slashing at him, only to be blocked by the Lightsaber.

"DIE YOU SICK BASTARD!!!" Anakin said, kicking the Darth to the wall. He held his Lightsaber over the man in black armor.

"You will not kill me.... or you'll just kill yourself." The Darth said, force choking Anakin. He ignited his Lightsaber once more as he stood up. He put the Lightsaber next to his neck.

"It's about time that Anakin had fallen." He said, killing the General. All of the nearby clones gasped at this. The dark Lord looked to Rex.

"Can't you see Rex? Anakin is gone, forever." He said, walking over to the captain. He stood there in fear, thinking of what would happen. Then he realized it. This wasn't real. None of it was.

"So, you figured it out, huh? I am letting you know, that I am coming for you..." The Darth said as the dream started to fade.

"No you won't, Vader. You won't be getting to me or my friends...."


Rex sat up, body completely sweaty, his body suit soaked. He stood up, opening the window of the room he was in, letting in a breeze of cold air, which dried his suit. He couldn't get over that nightmare. The horror... Maybe Anakin was completely gone after all. The door to his room opened, revealing Sunset. He quickly flopped onto his bed, putting himself under the covers and closing his eyes.

"I think the coast is clear." She said, tiptoeing in. Rex looked to see that she was carrying a pillow. Following her.... was Fluttershy. Both carrying pillows. What were they planning? Sunset tiptoed over to Rex's side..... and got under the covers with him. She placed her pillow down, and laid still.

"Goodnight Fluttershy." She said, Rex laying there surprised.

"Goodnight Sunset."


Darth Vader got up from his meditation, and left his living quarters. He opened the door, and standing there was Admiral Yuralen.

"Lord Vader, you have a incoming transmission from the Emperor." Vader nodded, and walked to the nearby transmission room. A clone was standing guard.

"Make sure nobody comes in, without my word." Vader instructed the soldier, who nodded in response. The door opened, revealing a dark room. Vader walked in the room, looking around. As the door closed, an image of the one and only Palpatine.

"My Lord, I'm happy to report that Admiral Trench has made it through. He immediately contacted me, letting me know that everyone survived." He said, getting into a kneeling position. The Emperor cackled.

"You may rise, my apprentice. Now... Did you give those clones the nightmare?" Vader stood up.

"No, but Rex knows what is coming." Vader said to the wrinkly man. The Emperor's smile vanished.

"I'm going to hire a bounty hunter to kill them, Vader. The clones are too close to these.... Traitors to kill them out of cold blood. But a bounty hunter...." The smile reappeared, showing the Emperor's hideous teeth.

"A bounty hunter would do anything for credits. Isn't that right..... Cad Bane?" Bane stepped into the picture, wearing his usual getup- the hat, boots, everything.

"I'd be happy to oblige.... If you pay me right that is." Bane said, taking his hat off. Palpatine smiled.

"Then it is settled. I will be sending Bane to 'The Trench'. Expect him by tomorrow evening." Vader bowed down.

"I understand, my lord." The transmission disappeared, just as the door opened. Commander Bly walked in.

"Sir, your personal ship is ready. Should I escort you to this other dimension?" Vader nodded.

"I will need the assistance. Thank you, Commander." Bly nodded as the two walked out of the transmission room.
