The Clone and the Jedi

Chapter 1: Order 66

It was near the end of The Clone Wars.

The war had been going on for a very long time.

And it changed 2 individuals quite a bit.

Chara Quill.

A young 20 year old Jedi Knight.

She was the daughter of an alien woman who disappeared after she was left with her father, a human man. She had larger eyes than most humans. She also had light brown hair that covered her head in a light cut. She looked odd to some, and beautiful to others. She had blue skin, just like her absent mother must have. She liked to wear long tan robes that covered up her body, since she knew all the clones would give her looks.

Wielding a yellow lightsaber, she was very skilled in the ways of the jedi, being taught under Master Plo Koon for many years.

She had grown a strong relationship with her squadron of 5 clones.

Chara had grown especially fond of one certain clone in her group….

Clone Trooper Designation- CH-33187.

Rank: Commander.

Codename: Stitch.

Stitch had been a member of Chara's squad for a long time now.

Hell, she's the one who gave him the nickname because of a stitch that ran across his left temple.

This soldier was loyal.

Strong.

Fast.

And, had feelings for Chara.

They had saved each other countless times on their adventures.

From an invasion on Base 326 on Riloth, to the first battle on Geonosis that started the war.

They trusted each other like no other.

Though it seemed they could never be.

Jedi are not allowed relationships, and Clones don't really have room for a love life in this life of constant battle.

It seemed they could never be together.

….but that all changed when Order 66 was issued.

When Order 66 was issued, it was a devastating event that shook the galaxy.

Thousands of Jedi were slaughtered by the clones they once thought as friends.

From Plo Koon, Ki Adi Mundi, Luminara Unduli, and many others.

Many clones were forced to follow the order when it was issued, due to the inhibitor chip that was issued in every clone trooper.

However, Stitch was not one of them.

Stitch's inhibitor chip was damaged on the very first mission on Geonosis, when he was knocked to the ground by a droid, hitting his head on a rock.

It gave him a hell of a concussion, and he was out for a week.

Stitch was unaware of both the chip, and it being broken for some time until he heard of an event with clone troopers Fives and Tup, from Captain Rex.

Tups chip had malfunctioned on a mission, making him kill his Jedi General.

Fives had tried to learn the truth, but was shot by Commander Fox.

Fives had told Rex about the chip moments before his death.

Rex trusted only a few other Clones to tell about the chips.

Like Commando Greggor, Commander Wolfe, and Stitch himself.

Stitch had thus removed his chip, and was surprised to find it broken, but also relieved about it, but didn't tell anyone about it, in fear of ending up like Fives and Tup.

He and the others had to take the secret to the end.

He was still shocked when the order came though…

Chara was wandering the forests of the planet Sullon for her latest mission.

She was with her other squad members.

Dev, Chuck, Rico and Sevens.

The atmosphere was very calm.

The sound of small bugs echoing around her.

Chara was so at peace, she almost didn't notice the clones huddled around each other, looking at a small hologram in Sevens's hand.

A small hooded figure was what the hologram showed.

And Chara recognized him.

It was Chancellor Palpatine, but he was very disfigured.

He stated, "Execute, Order 66".

Chara didn't know what it meant, but was becoming warry.

All 4 clones said, "Yes Sir!"

The hologram faded as all 4 clones spun around and aimed their guns at the young woman.

She had only seconds to react before she pulled out her weapon, and deflected a bolt of energy coming towards her, sending it backwards into Devs chest.

Chara was horrified, but continued fighting.

She deflected each blast, pushing forward.

She had to cut through Chuck's chest with her yellow blade, and sent the other 2 troopers back with the force.

As soon as they landed, (Sevens onto a sharp branch that poked through his chest, and Rico simply unconscious), Chara ran back to camp.

Stitch was looking at the inventory of weapons at base camp when he got the message.

He turned on the hologram to reveal Emperor Palpatine, aka: Darth Sidious.

"Commander Stitch, the time has come. Execute Order 66".

Stitch couldn't register what was just said to him.

He knew about Order 66, but he never thought it would be put into effect.

He was told to execute his oldest friend, one he has had since the beginning of the war.

He knew he couldn't do this, and wouldn't, thanks to his broken chip, but to fool the Chancellor, all he said was, "Yes Sir".

With that, the transmission cut off, leaving Stitch with one thought on his mind.

I've gotta get us outta here.

As soon as he thought that, Chara ran into the tent, panting, with blood on the left side of her face and left hand.

Chara, "Stitch, gasp, Sevens, Chuck, Rico and Dev just, gasp, attacked me!"

Stitch knew why they had.

Their "leader", had sent this message to every clone.

Stitch, "I know why. They just received Order 66".

Chara, "I heard them mention that, what's Order 66"?

Stitch, "Let me explain".

The two sat down as Stitch explained the whole thing.

"As all Clones were trained, we are given certain orders for possible scenarios that could occur. From trying to take down a certain individual, to if a clone went rouge. Order 66, is an order to kill all Jedi. Every single one. I'm probably one of only a few other clones who have not followed this order. That's cause all clones are engineered with chips in our heads that make us obey any of these orders without question. Rex removed his after an incident with clone troopers Tup and Fives. He told me and a few others, as he trusted us the most with this information. He trusted me, since we had trained and fought together a few times before. My chip was already broken when I removed it, but obviously, our team didn't have the same luck".

And so, Chara knew everything.

The chips.

Order 66.

And the fact that the Chancellor gave the order, meant that he planned all of this.

She couldn't believe any of it.

Hundreds of the people she trusted, her fellow Jedi, were being slaughtered by the clones they thought they could trust.

And as she heard every word from Stitch's mouth, she felt the death of them all.

From Master to Knight.

Padawan to…. Younglings.

Every scream.

Every slash.

Every shot.

There was only one thing she could think to do after feeling all of that.

She started hugging Stitch, and she started to cry.

Stitch was worried about her, to say the least.

She was in pain from having almost been killed, and learned that, for all she knew, every Jedi was dead.

Stitch was also worried about what they were gonna do.

Stitch would be deemed a traitor for not killing Chara, and Chara would be hunted down by any remaining clones who had received the order.

Including a currently unconscious Rico.

There was only one thing they could do.

"We've gotta get off this planet, and away from the Republic."

I hope you enjoyed this first chapter. Please give me feedback on if you wanna see this continued. I have more chapters thought out either way. Maybe 4 or 5. And with Rico, I've got another story for him planned out. So look out for all of that, and have a good day.
