Prologue

"After making a deal with Count Dooku to resuscitate the ailing Banking Clan, Clovis finds himself a pawn in Dooku's designs. Clovis has brought the war to Scipio, forcing the Republic to intervene."

--------------

Senator Amidala had been sent on a political mission to negotiate with the Banking Clan, she had entered the neutral zone, meaning that no soldier, Republic nor Seperatist,was allowed to enter.

This meant that Clone Commander Thorn and his squad had to wait on the landing platform until negotiations were over.

Nobody expected that something like this would happen.

-------------

"When this mission is over; I'm buying drinks for everyone." Commander Thorn announced.

"Yeah! Weeho!" The clones in the Republic frigate shouted with joy and happiness.

'My men truly are my brothers; I see them as more than just 'clones', I see them as men. Men who can feel pain, sorrow, sadness.. Too bad the Kaminoans took almost every emotion from us. But blast that, this mission is what's really annoying.This is one of those missions you don't want to do, but when you know nothing bad will happen it'll get--.'

"Commander you better take a look at this." A shock trooper said, snapping Commander Thorn out of his thoughts.

"Huh? What is it." The Commander asked while walking over to monitor the solder's holo panel.

"It looks like an invasion force sir." The shock trooper said.

'I knew those clankers couldn't be trusted.' Commander Thorn thought, looking at a Shock trooper that stood beside him. "We're caught out here in the open." Commander Thorn said while running out of the frigate. Two of his shock troopers followed him. The landing pad was full of clones (around 40 or more) at least eight gunships were stationed on the landing pad, as well as the Republic frigate.

"Get the men off this platform, and beyond the city gates!" Commander Thorn ordered.

The troopers nodded in response and started running for the gates.

'I need to warn senator Amidala ASAP!' Commander Thorn thought while activating his commlink.

Senator Amidala looked out of the balcony of her temporary chambers. Sighing to herself as she thought about her husband. She was, unfortunately, snapped out of her thoughts, when a familiar sound rung in her ears.

"Senator Amidala, come in please." She heard Commander Thorn say over her commlink. She walked towards her commlink and picked it up. "What is it Commander Thorn?"

"We're under attack by the Seperatist garrison, looks to be a full invasion." Commander Thorn replied.

"Invasion?!" Senator Amidala asked, shocked.

"We can't get to you; I suggest you get to a ship as soon as you can." Commander Thorn ordered.

Senator Amidala turned off her commlink and prepared to leave.

-----------------

Three Hyena bombers came out of the atmosphere and bombed the frigate, which Commander Thorn and his men were using as a temporary base, destroying it immediately.

"Gaaaah! Aaaaah!" The shock troopers on board of the frigate screamed, while the frigate fell to the lower part of the planet.

'This is not going to end well.' Commander Thorn thought while shooting at the Hyena bombers with his Z6 rotary blaster cannon.

Two shock troopers aimed their rocket launchers at the Hyena bombers and destroyed them, one bomber crashed into one of the gunships, while the other crashed on the surface of the platform.

Gunships were preparing to leave, they didn't get far, Vulture droids and droid gunships descended from the atmosphere and shot down all off the gunships. There was only one way out, and that was to get behind that gate.

"Raah!" Commander Thorn shouted in frustration. "Let's move!"

All of the Clones began to running towards the city gate, they were almost there until two droid gunships flew in front of them and blocked their path. Troopers began shooting at it, but it was to no avail. Super battle droids and commando droids were deployed onto the platform. Commander Thorn took one final glance at the troopers that were trying to catch up to him and the other shock troopers; a droid gunship came from behind and killed all of them. The gunship then lowered itself and deployed even more super battle droids.

Soon all of the clones were surrounded; they stood back to back and tried their best to blast as many droids as possible. "Come on men! We can do this!" One of the shock troopers shouted, but was quickly silenced by a blaster shot to the chest.

'It can't end this way.' Commander Thorn thought while blasting a super battle droid.

A shock trooper shot a super battle droid; but didn't see the commando droid coming, and before he even saw it coming; the commando droid's vibro blade struck him down, leaving just Thorn and one other shock trooper as the last clones still alive.

Eventually the shock trooper was shot in his side and fell dead on the ground.

Thorn was now the last man standing. He started firing his gun, spinning around in different directions to shoot as many of the droids as possible. A droid got in a lucky shot and hit Thorn in his side. "Gaah!" Thorn grunted. That shot didn't stop him. These clankers weren't going to stop him!

He fought back the pain and started to use his cannon as a 'hammer' he first knocked a commando droid right off its feet, he proceeded to do the same to two others. He readied himself and shot two more commando droids, he then proceeded to use his 'hammer' to knock out two more commando droids and a super battle droid.

"For the Republic!" Commander Thorn shouted while blasting as many droids as possible, he held his blaster cannon so close to a super battle droid that it only took two shots to take it down. Thorn was about to turn around and blast the rest of these clankers until he was shot in his chest.

'No.'

Some sort of muscle spasm occurred, because Thorn's arm shot up and he aimed his cannon at the sky; and shot a few blaster rounds.

Another shot was fired, hitting him directly in his chest. 'Is this really how it ends?' Commander Thorn thought, falling on his knees.

The droids surrounded him in a circle; they were ready to kill him.

He looked at the commando droid until it fired another shot; hitting him directly in his chest again. 'This is it.' Commander Thorn thought as his vision began to fade.

The last thing Commander Thorn heard, was a plasma shot from a E-5 droid blaster.

Commander Thorn fell dead on the ground, four blaster holes in his chest plate and one in his side.

The droids stood at attention, as a Seperatist shuttle landed on the platform. Count Dooku came out of the shuttle; he started to walk towards the city gates. He looked around and saw the carnage of all the dead clones. Mentally he smiled, but he kept a straight face. He walked over to the spot were Thorn had died; and used the force to push Thorn's body aside.

He walked to the city gates, several of his droids followed him.

The battle of Scipio didn't last long, soon Anakin Skywalker and the 501st landed on Scipio and rescued senator Amidala from the Separatists.

With the battle of Scipio at an end, the 501st clone troopers were busy cleaning up the 'mess'. They honored their fallen brothers and put all of the remains into gunships.

"Captain Rex Sir?" One of the 501st clone troopers said.

"What is it trooper?" Captain Rex asked.

"We have cleaned up all of the remaining bodies and are ready to leave." The clone replied.

"Very good, let's give Commander Thorn and his men a proper burial." Captain Rex said with a saddened tone.

Anakin looked at his Captain and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Soon Rex, soon this war is gonna end." Anakin said.

"I know sir, but me and Thorn go way back, he was my best friend during combat training on Kamino." Rex said.

"Then let's give him the burial every fallen clone should receive." Anakin said.

Rex saluted his general. "Yes sir!"

Anakin chuckled as he patted Rex's shoulder pad. "Let's go Captain." Anakin said while walking towards the gunship.

Captain Rex took one final look at the landing platform. 'I'll never forget you Thorn; you died like a true hero.' Rex thought while turning around and walking towards the gunship.

'Died, died, died.' Those words echoed inside Rex's head. 'Eventually all of us will die.' Rex thought. He stepped into the gunship as they took off, already prepared for the next battle.

--------------

"What do you mean you couldn't find his body?" Rex asked the clone in front of him confused.

"We couldn't find his body sir; we looked everywhere but to no avail." The clone replied.

"Blast!" Captain Rex shouted.

"We could turn the ship around and--."

"No, no." Rex said while rubbing the back of his head. "Just give me some time alone." Captain Rex replied, sighing as he looked down at the floor of his quarters.

The clone saluted to his Commander. "Yes sir!"

The clone did as he was told and left the Captain alone in his quarters.

"What happened down there Thorn? I can't believe those clankers got you." Rex said while looking at the endless space that laid out in front of him.

A single tear made its way down Rex's cheek.

Rex quickly wiped away the tear and stood straight, he pulled up his arm and saluted. "This one's for you brother." Rex said while staring of into the blackness of space.

A strange creature lay face down on the ground in an alleyway of the beautiful city of Canterlot. The city was beautiful, until the Changelings began their attack.

"Mommy help me!" A young Pegasus filly screamed while running away from the Changelings that were chasing her.

"Leave her alone!" The mother shouted. The mare and her daughter thought it was a good idea to hide in one of the alleyways of Canterlot, they were wrong. The Pegasus mother tried to get to her daughter until she was blasted by a green shot of magic.

"Grab her, and bring her to me!" A Changeling ordered. "Yes sir!" The other two replied while grabbing the young filly by her mane. They roughly dragged her over to her mother and threw her in front of her.

The mother quickly grabbed the filly and held her close.

"Mommy I-I'm scared." The filly said while tears started to form in her eyes.

"Shhhh its OK, everything will be OK." The mother said, trying to calm her daughter.

"What do we do with them sir?" A Changeling asked his sergeant.

"We are going to have some fun with these two." The Changeling replied while he walked over to the mother and her filly. "Ready for a second child? The sergeant asked seductively.

"P-Please don't hurt us." The mother pleaded.

"Hurt you? Oh no I am going to make you suffer." The sergeant replied while grabbing the mother by her mane and dragging her into the middle of the street. "Let's see what you can do to pleasure Changelings like us." The sergeant said while lifting the mare up with his magic.

"No p-please don't." The mare begged between tears.

"Mommy!" The filly screamed in horror.

"Bend over so I can--."

The sergeant was interrupted mid-sentence, by loud noise that could be heard from behind him. The sergeant looked at his chest and saw a hole in it, like something had burned through it.

"What in bucks na--."

The sergeant couldn't even finish his sentence; he dropped the mare out of his magic grasp and fell to the ground.

The other four Changelings quickly ran over to their fallen sergeant. "Sergeant are you alright?! One of the Changelings asked while shaking the sergeant.

"H-He's bucking dead." One of the Changelings said in horror.

"Who did this!?" One of the Changelings shouted. He looked at the little filly before running towards her. He used his magic to grab the filly by her throat. He lifted her up high in the air. "What did you do!?" The Changeling asked furiously.

"Step away from the youngling; if you don't, then I'll add some more holes to your bodies than there already are now." A low masculine voice suddenly said.

The Changeling turned around. "Who do you think you are?" The Changeling asked while looking at the faint shadow of a bipedal creature.

"CC-4254, but you can call me." The creature said while walking out of the shadow, thus exposing itself. "Thorn."

The Changelings looked at the creature in front of them, it suddenly raised a big thing it was holding in its appendages, it took some sort of battle stance and spoke up.

"Step away from the youngling and her mother or I will not hesitate to blast you."

"....Changelings attack!" The Changeling ordered. The four remaining Changelings started running towards Thorn. Thorn readied his Z7 rotary blaster cannon, it began spinning faster and faster.

Commander Thorn sighed as he aimed his cannon at the Changelings. "Blasting you creatures it is then."
