Star Wars: Civil War/ Chapter 9: What Mercy Does

“Hey look!” Rahr yelled, pointing.

“You think I’m gonna fall for-” Scrape was interrupted by a blast making painful contact with his hand, forcing him to drop the axe. More explosions activated as two more rebel troopers entered, providing a distraction.

“It’s Stone!” Rahr yelled again. “... And Ponds!” Ponds joked.

Han had this amazed look on his face. “I’ll be triple-dipped.”

Wesson smiled as Scrape frowned. He went after Scrape by head-butting him, even though his incapacitation was dreadful. Stone held a stormtrooper at gunpoint. That stormtrooper mocked Stone, “I know you. You won’t pull that trigger. Not on your own kind.”

“You are no longer my kind,” Stone replied, eyes locked on target. That stormtrooper just laughed and attempted to pull out a gun of his own before getting shot twice in the chest by Stone. “Now, you’re no one’s kind.” Ponds took notice of this and nodded to his compatriot. Wesson punched Scrape in the mouth. He tried to uppercut the major but he countered the attack. Scrape saw Spectrum getting cuffed by Leland, which made him even angrier, as shown on his face due to it getting redder.

He then reached and retrieved a gun, the very same that was used to shoot down and kill Bly, and aimed it in between Wesson’s eyes. “Any last words to say you insignificant bastard?” He asked, menacingly.

Wesson smiled as he looked as Stone who held his rusty DC-17 pistol at Scrape’s head. “I got a few words. How about… I wouldn’t do that if I were you?” Stone intimidated.

“What? You’re gonna shoot me like you did to that random-ass trooper over there? Yeah, I’m afraid of death, sure.”

“That’s exactly right, Scrape. You’re not afraid of death. That’s why you are going to spend the rest of your forsaken life staring at one side of a shielded cell door,” Stone explained. “It’s the least we could do for what you’ve done to this galaxy.”

Scrape looked shocked. Rahr came rushing in and bearhugged Stone, interrupting a moment yet again. “I missed you so much, Rock! We thought you were as dead as my brain!”

“It’s Stone, Patrick. And thanks,” Stone slightly hugged Rahr back, looking at Ponds, who was laughing at Rahr. He handshaked Rex and Han and Han whispered, “Wait ‘til Leia finds out.” This let out a huge grin on the senior clone commander’s face.

Scrape purposefully cut in, “I hate to break up this damned reunion but haven’t we forgot about someone important?”

“Who?” Stone and Ponds both asked at the same time, smiling.

“ME. What ever happened to Republic mercy?” Scrape screeched back.

Stone walked over slowly. “This is all the mercy you could ever afford…”
