Seven Days

This story centers on a solo sailor who experiences a mysterious Mayday call. Despite searching, he finds no trace until a final dive.

Seven days out of Hawaii a full moon haunts a cloudy sky, slipping away occasionally leaving the little sailboat cruising a lonely section of the Pacific in pitch black. The slap of water on the haul is rhythmic. The sail, full. Her speed, 12 knots. And the Captain? trying to figure out what happened to the radio. It just died. No power. No sound. A bit unnerving. He originally decided to wait…

pre-christophosis

idk what to title this. (Edit: ive titled it now obvi)

it's basically about rex's life mostly pre-christophosis. ive been staring at wookiepedia for the past ten minutes and i've just now decided i'm going to use a mix of canon and legends content so if you thing something is factually wrong (and a lot will be) then your right, but im not spending two hours delving through old comics.

doing research it states as though arc troopers were made only after seeing battle, but idc, so rex and cody were made before they ever left kamino.

this is for @taylorswiftscar, i really hope this lives up to your expectations. if you (somehow) like it, i could do a part 2???

also, btw, most clone trooper numbers here are ones i made up. i googled each to make sure they wont real troopers but if they are, sorry.

warnings: death, mentions of war, war, fighting, battles, fight training.

CT-7567 reached a hand up to touch his short, soft blonde hair yet again, staring into the mirror with a shattered expression.

Why does my hair have to be different? He thought glumly, slowly running his fingers through the short hairs with glossy eyes. CT-7567 used his other hand to gently play with the ends of his cadet uniform - a blue tunic over a red long-sleeved top and red pants held close to his torso with a black belt.

Around him, the other cadets busied themselves with pulling on their own clothes, the room filled with quiet chatter and the sound of their black boots hitting the floor.

"You alright there, 7567?" A voice called and the blonde clone turned to his brother - who of course shared the same tan skin and hazel brown eyes but had his own cropped brown hair. CT-4826 gave him a soft smile before grabbing him by the wrist and pulling him along the hallway. "Let's go, 7567! I want to be first!"

-

"Did you hear?!" CT-7567 turned to see the other clone cadet - unique only for his shaggy dark hair - as he scurried across the silver floor to their bunks.

"What?!" CT-4826 called from the bunk above CT-7567, leaning down to hear better.

"I heard that CT-3383 went out in the rain and fell into the waters!" CT-4526 exclaimed quietly and CT-7567 shrank back in his bed, closer to the wall and further from the tales. "I heard he got eaten by the sea serpent!"

CT-7567 shuddered at the thought of the huge, mysterious creature supposedly lurking in Kamino's dark waters. CT-7567 wasn't afraid of much, but the tales he heard about the serpent made him shiver.

"Oh shut up, 4526," CT-4826 complained, rolling his eyes. "The sea serpents aren't real."

"Yes they are!" CT-4526 replied with a frown, a flicker of hurt playing at his features. "Stop lying, 4826! The Kaminoans said their real!"

"The only sea serpent here is you!" Another cadet giggled from across the room, darting over to the bunk and tackling CT-4526 to the ground. "You should be called Serpent!" The two cadets rolled around on the floor for a bit as CT-7567 turned to face the wall, pulling the sheets over his head and cowering.

-

CT-7567 watched as CT-3383 walked back into the barracks days later, smiling sheepishly as he held his left arm - which was tightly bandaged from his elbow to thumb.

"3383!" CT-7567 cheered as the cadet waddled in, racing over and hugging the brunette's right side tightly - although carefully not touching his left. "You're okay!"

"Why wouldn't I be?" He asked with a tilt of his head and CT-4826 scoffed.

"4526 over hear thought a sea serpent got you" CT-4826 explained, turning to face the cadet with a disappointed look.

CT-4526's bottom lip turned up in a pout as he clambered into his bunk to hide. "Not my fault," he grumbled. "One of the squad-cadets said he did."

The three other cadets exchanged worried glances before the blonde scrambled over to his brother. "It's alright, 4526." He told him, draping an arm over his shoulders. "I believe there really is a sea serpent, but at least 3383's here, ay?"

"Yeah."

-

"Watch your step, 4526!" CT-7567 cried out, slouching down behind the metal barrier to hide from the droids. He glanced at his armor, which was now scratched up from diving and rolling around the citadel training center.

"Go, 7567!" CT-3383 called out, CT-7786 peering out over his shoulder. "Make the run!"

CT-7567 nodded, sucking in a breath before rolling out to the side, racing along the metal floor to the tower. His shaking hand grasped the grappling hook attached to his belt and tossed it up, latching onto the wall.

Clambering up and up and up until finally he was over.

The blonde clone grabbed the staff and held it in the air, cheering as the droids deactivated.

-

"CT-7567 at your service, sir!" The blonde clone saluted, shoulders shaking slightly as he stared at the ARC Trooper in front of him.

"CC-2224 at your service, sir!" The clone next to CT-7567 announced. He was one of the 'classic'-looking clones - the ones with the tan skin, hazel eyes and short black hair. CT-7567 had never met him before this moment.

"At ease, troopers" the ARC Trooper told them, and both their stances relaxed ever so slightly. "I've been informed you both performed valiantly in your training and therefore are being prematurely promoted to ARC Troopers." CT-7567's face broke into a grin that he tried to hide. "My name is Alpha-17 and I'll be taking you for the next part of your training."

"CT-2224" the brunette clone introduced himself again and so CT-7567 did the same, frowning when Alpha-17 shook his head in dissapointment.

"What are your names, boys? Not your numbers," Alpha-17 asked and CT-7567 bit his lip.

"My name is my number" he told the ARC Trooper hesitantly, and CC-2224 nodded in agreement.

"Well, we'll just have to get you names."

-

"2224!" CT-7567 cried out with a grin, lunging towards the clone and wrapping his arms around him. "That shot was amazing!"

"Your tactic was too, 7567!" The brunette exclaimed, punching his brother's arm softly.

"You two make a great team," Alpha-17 told them with a proud grin. "Maybe to greater a team."

-

"7567! 2224! Come here!" Alpha called from the other end of the barracks, and the two younger clones scurried to meet him. "I've decided on names for both of you, if you like them."

CT-7567 nodded eagerly, jumping from foot to foot in excitement. CC-2224 was in a similar state, bouncing up and down. Individually was something clones weren't usually recognized for, and having an individual name was startling.

"2224," Alpha began, looking him directly in the eyes. "I dub you... Cody."

CC-2224, no, Cody beamed with joy, happiness radiating off of him in huge, endless waves. "I love it, thank you Alpha!"

The older clone gave him a gentle smile before turning to the patiently waiting blonde. "And 7567! I dub you, Rex."

-

"You ready to go, Rex?" Alpha asked, gently placing a hand on the Arc Trooper's back. Rex nodded, breathing in deeply and letting his adrenaline take over.

"Yes, sir!" He told him confidently, rolling his shoulders back as he switched the hand gripping the handle of the gunship. It wobbled in the air slightly before making a backwards motion. They were landing.

"Good luck, kid" his brother told him gently. "K'oyacyi!" Alpha patted his back one last time as the gunships doors opened and the clones around them filed out.

"K'oyacyi!" Rex called back, grasping his dual pistols - something he'd been allowed only recently but instantly loved - and rushing out into the sandy terrain of Geonosis.

hope y'all liked that! (to anyone actually reading this)

K'oyacyi means 'hang in there' or 'come back alive' or 'stay alive' in Mando'a.

btw i haven't read over that so thats why there may be several mistakes...

Have a great day!

pt. 2 of pre-christophsis

this is for @taylorswiftscar, you ask for pt.2, you get pt.2.

although this is super shot and i did this instead of my science work.

sorry its so short and its more angsty than the last. if you want, i can do more.

Rex stared at the rolling waves of Kamino, chin resting on his hands as Cody continued to mumble something incoherently - still rather offended he hadn’t been sent to Geonosis.

“Do you really wish you’d been at the battle, Cody?” Rex whispered, his stomach hurling with emotions he didn’t fully understand. He could feel a lump in his throat form as he spoke. 

“I mean, yeah,” Cody began, turning to his blonde brother. “I want to fight, Rex! We’ve been trained to do it all our lives! I didn’t want to sit here and think about how you might be injured out there while I sat here hopelessly!”

The blonde turned to him. “Cody, our brothers died out there” he whispered, and Cody felt his heart shatter at Rex’s heartbroken tone. 

“Oh, Rex,” he murmured, outstretching his arms. Rex lunged forwards into the hug as he began crying softly, eyes squeezed shut as tears spilled down Cody’s neck. “I’m sorry, you know I didn’t mean that.”

“I saw our brothers die,” the blonde whispered again, sobbing. “I never want to fight again.”

                                         - 

A few weeks after the battle of Geonosis, Rex had been promoted to Captain and Cody was now a Commander. Both of them were practically bouncing to meet their troops.

“Captain Rex,” Shaak Ti called out and Rex strolled to meet the Togrutan Jedi. She had red skin with cream markings with dusty blue and white lekku. She gave him a reassuring smile. “You’ve been appointed to the 501st, your General will be General Anakin Skywalker.”

He nodded - trying to contain his excitement - as he headed off to the side. 

“Commander Cody, you’ve been appointed to the 212th, your General will be General Obi-Wan Kenobi.” Cody’s face matched Rex’s joy as they linked arms, high-fiving and clambering into the gunship. 

When the gunship took off, all the clones shrugged off their helmets to relax and Rex beamed. 

“Uhm, excuse me” a voice came from behind the blonde and he turned to see a clone with a mop of shaggy dark hair. “7567!” The clone practically squealed and Rex’s stomach lurched in recognition. 

“Serpent!” He cheered, wrapping his batch-mate up in his arms in surprise. “You’re a Lieutenant!”

“Yeah he is,” a voice called from the side and Rex turned with a grin at the recognizable cropped brown hair. “I’m assuming you’ve got a name now?”

“Rex,” the blonde replied with a huge grin. “You got one yet, 4826?”

“Of course he does!” CT-7786 called from behind the others, CT-3383 at his side. “He’s Quip, I’m Chase and this is Rip.”

Rex’s smile couldn’t get any better as he reunited with his old squad, introducing them to Cody with a grin. 

All reunited. 

                                         - 

“Flare, watch your left!” Rex shouted as he ducked behind a turned up piece of rubble, glancing absent-mindedly to the side to check that the blue glow emitting from his General’s lightsaber was still there, signalling he wasn’t dead yet.

The trooper cried out as he fell to the ground, a blast hitting him square in the chest. Rex restrained himself from flinching. He had to be brave for his troops.

“Rip!” He heard Chase shriek as the clone trooper beside him fell. Shock shot up through Rex’s body, horror engulfing him as he stared motionlessly at the body of Rip, of CT-3383, of his friend.

“Rex, get down!” He heard General Skywalker shout but he was too frozen to move, to hear, to do anything as he stared helplessly at the corpse. His hazel eyes glossed over with unshed tears, one drop falling from his eye. Someone grabbed him from behind and pulled him to the ground, blue eyes searching his own horrified ones. “Rex? Rex?! Are you okay?! What happened?!”

But Rex couldn’t find the words to speak, to explain.

So he stayed silent.

                                -

Cody watched as Rex left the ship and instead of running to hug Cody like the clone expected he would have but instead, the blonde walked slowly to meet his brother. A frown appeared on Cody’s face as he hurriedly made his way to the other’s side, instantly worried.

“Rex?” He asked, as he stared into the visor of the Captain’s helmet. “Are you alright?” When Cody got no response, he reached up and pulled his helmet off the blonde’s head, revealing his bloodshot eyes and the bags underneath them. “Oh, Vod, what happened?”

“Rip,” Rex managed to stutter out. “He’s-he’s dead.”

Cody’s face crumbled as he pulled his brother into a hug. “Oh, Rex, I’m so sorry.”

                                  -

“3383!” CT-7567 cheered as his brother appeared around the corner. “Your back! How’s your arm?”

“Better,” the other clone cadet sighed, running a hand through his curly brown hair. “Still hurts a bit but much better than before.”

“I told you the Kaminoans would fix it!” CT-7567 laughed, draping an arm over his brother’s shoulders and pulling him closer to his side. 

“Yeah you did, Vod, you did.”

                                -

“When are we being sent out, General?” Rex asked, helmet in hand as he stood by Cody’s side. General Skywalker turned to him, his face fixed in determination.

“Tomorrow, Rex, I recommend you enjoy our stay while it lasts,” the brunette replied shortly, and Cody nudged his brother gently.

“I thought you hated the fighting, hated the war?” He whispered and Rex turned to him, face cold and bitter. “I’m fighting for Rip, Vod,” he replied and Cody nearly flinched at the harsh tone. “I don’t care anymore. This war took him. The Separatists killed my brother. And I am not letting them get away with that.”

Just before the door slams, he thinks he hears the creature on Caranthir’s lap let out a smug mewl.

Which comes out to...19 words. Whew! It looks like a lot of people I'd want to tag already have been, so I'm not going to get to nineteen, but I'll do some.
