Star Wars: The Clone War Chronicles/ Chapter 3: Return to Earth

22 BBY

Character: Patrick Rahr

It was the first time Patrick Rahr had been to Earth since the Confederacy invaded it years ago. Their job was to maintain peace in exchange for all the minerals that were consisted on Earth. However, the Republic had picked up a transmission with Separatist naval commander Admiral Two-Gun, talking about invading the now Republic-occupied planet and it had to be Separatist controlled. Rahr recognized Two-Gun from the last battle over Earth when his parents were killed and he was left to die. The Republic troopers set up camp and made a base right in the middle of the city of Zarkan which was the once Confederate Capital and formerly known as Washington D.C.

Patrick Rahr was put in second in command to Obi-Wan Kenobi due to his personal connection to Earth. With him were clone troopers Captain Rex and Commander Cody. The sky was starting to turn pink as the sun set over the planet. Mostly Earth was still covered with trees, grass, and water. Water was one of the resources the Republic needed from the Earthlings. The governor of the country named Goff walked over to where Kenobi and Rahr set up the main part of their headquarters. "I know what you're doing, Jedi," he said in a disgusted manner. Rahr was once again confused while Obi-Wan sensed what he meant. "You're stealing my supplies just to save our skins."

Obi-Wan countered Goff's verbal attack. "Okay, first of all, we are not stealing anyone's supplies. If you and other planets don't give us these vital resources, then you can count on the Separatists dictating the entire universe. Second of all, what do you mean just to save your skins? That means save your lives. But I know who you are- a self-centered leader whose afraid of dying. But no matter what, I will save your lives, yours too."

"I guess you get the point," Rahr said, pointing to his pointy head. Goff nodded. "I just don't get why people would attack my homeplanet. It has a great atmosphere, sky, and blue stuff in the upper parts of the planet."

"You basically said the same thing three times, moron," Goff criticized. They then heard the irritating noise of Separatist droid dropships from the atmosphere.

"Incoming!" Rex yelled. Those dropships opened fire, nearly striking down Goff if it wasn't for Rahr. Sally Montgomery, a sergeant in Earth's police force ordered her pilot to hover and open fire as well, but got shot down easily. He tried to get out of his helicopter but was met with Two-Gun who shot him instantly with no remorse. Obi-Wan and Patrick were met face to face with Darth Night, who was leading the charge. He mocked the two Jedi before Rahr sprinted towards him, knocking Maul from his feet.

"Whoa, where did this come from, Rahr?" Night said, surprised.

"I don't know."

"Figures you would say that," Night replied.

"Ground forces, incoming! Cody, get behind cover," Rex yelled. Police forces along with the two clones battled the droids with numerous amounts of casualties from both parties.

"Get out of here, Kenobi-Wan. This is my fight!" Rahr ordered.

"For starters, Rahr, the name's Obi-Wan Kenobi and this is our fight." Rahr ignored the Jedi general and kept on bestowing pain upon the sith lord he was currently facing. Goff hid behind boulders with no heavy regards of his people getting shot and killed. Once Maul was on the floor and Obi-Wan taking care of a few droids, out popped Two-Gun which caught the attention of the starfish.

"You piece of baloney! I remember," Rahr announced while reminiscing about the first attack on Earth.

"Oh yeah. I remember too! I also remember when you kicked me right where the sun don't shine," Two-Gun answered. Rahr closed his eyes and got ready for Two-Gun's first move. He pulled out one of his dual pistols and shot at Rahr. He quickly blocked it with his minty green lightsaber and reflected back at Two-Gun's shoulder. Rahr chuckled. He casually walked over to Two-Gun and commenced to harm him. Force pushing him, kicking him, and pressing on his shoulder wound, Rahr was ensured that he was doing some damage to the naval officer. "Please, stop!" Two-Gun never would've thought that he would be begging to a daft starfish. Rahr stepped on one of his arms and they heard a crunching sound of Two-Gun's bone. Patrick thought he was alone while doing that but turned around to notice Captain Rex who stared at the entire incident.

"Rahr, what are you doing?" Rex asked.

"He killed my family!" Patrick pivoted.

"He is a scumbag at best. But we have to focus on ridding Earth of the rest of these droids. Don't dwell on the past," Rex tried to knock some sense into him.

Rahr eventually snapped out of it and headed back to where Maul was still at and battled him until he was too incapacitated to fight. Rex, Cody, and the Earth police force took care of the remaining battle droids and swept up the mess. However, while attending to their deceased and injured ones, Admiral Two-Gun managed to escape to an unknown setting.
