The slick wet mud squashed under the white boots of the clone trooper. Rain beat down on him and on him as he ran, he was breathless and soaking wet since the water seeped through the opening of the armor. He didn't bother to stop running or turn to see if that thing was still chasing him. That thing was stronger, faster, and deadlier than anything he had ever seen.

Suddenly the mud under him became too slippery from the rain and he slipped. He fell into the mud and his helmet fell off, he however just scrambled up and ran again mud stained his armor and his hair now clung to his head. Branches scratched his unprotected face now, he winces then stumbled into a clearing. He walks forward and suddenly he heard a snap. He looks around frantically but saw nothing. He lets out a breath and suddenly lets out a pained cry as wire wrapped around his ankles and he falls to the ground. The wire was made of this weird material that was strong enough to cut through the armor on his ankles.

The tall figure came through the trees and walked over to the clone. 'How? How did they get in front of me?' He thought as he man presses a cloth over the clone's mouth. The clone blinked and shivers as the smell pull his mind to darkness. The clone struggles but eventually his eyes closed and the fight was over.
