I'm so sorry that this took so long. Hopefully, I'll be able to update much more regularly! 

________________________________________________________________________________

It was a cold and rainy day on Coruscant when Obi-Wan declared Eve a Jedi Knight. They were about to go on a mission, so the ceremony was brief. 
Before Eve knew it, she was on a gunship with Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, and a platoon of clones from the 501st. 

Eve had been on many missions with the 501st, as well as the 212th. She mused that she would probably be assigned a legion of her own if she stayed long enough. The thought provoked a tangle of emotions. She would love to have a group of her own to fight and bond with, but it also meant losing more friends than the ones she had already lost among the 501st and 212th... 

Eve mentally shook herself. Now was not the time to be lost in thought! She was going into a battle, for the gods' sakes!

Eve was saddened that this was now normal for her. She had become accustomed to fighting for her life, and time had begun to blur together. Her sixteenth birthday had been nothing like the party she had been planning back on Earth... instead of going out with her friends, she had been fighting on Endor. Now, she wondered about why she was even fighting at all. This wasn't her world, this wasn't her fight. 

And yet... she had made friends here. Ahsoka, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Captain Rex, even a few of the other Masters had taken a liking to her, the most surprising of them being Master Windu. That was why she was fighting. She was fighting for her friends' universe. They were not fictional here. They were real, and they mattered. Was the result the movies showed the only outcome? Could she prevent Anakin's fall and alter the timeline like she had done for the Doctor? 

Eve was shaken out of her thoughts by nearby explosion that rocked their gunship. She gripped the loop hanging from the ceiling for dear life, silently cursing her diminutive height. The gunship shook and rattled, some crucial part damaged. It tumbled in a barely controlled spiral, shaking and groaning. Eve braced herself for impact, hoping that her Jedi armor would protect her to some degree. If she used her healing powers now, she would be so exhausted  that she wouldn't be able to fight. That would leave her exposed, and her friends would likely die trying to protect her. She heard Rex tell Ahsoka to hold on and she had to suppress a smile.

No powers, Eve decided, unless they were absolutely necessary. She had learned over her time with the Doctor and with the Jedi that her powers had costly repercussions. Even if she didn't feel the exhaustion immediately, it would show up at the worst times. She had a scar on her chest from when she had passed out on the battlefield and been shot after using her powers earlier that week!

Since then, she had been working on her endurance, but it was still a last-resort kind of thing. 

The gunship crashed into the dirt, sending Eve flying into the clone next to her. Let's just say that landing on clone armor wasn't a pleasant experience. 

Once everyone was up again, they raised their weapons and charged as one out of the damaged ship. Obi-Wan and Anakin lead the way, with Ahsoka and Eve on their respective sides, the clones fanned out behind. It was a standard maneuver now-a-days, and was almost second nature. 

The first thing Eve noticed was the barren landscape. No trees, no grass, no life of any kind. Only the evil, heartless machines that had razed the once lush planet to this dead landscape. She had been told that Kalaz--the name the reptilian inhabitants of this planet, the Kalazians, had given this planet--had once been a paradise. To see it so devastated shattered something within Eve, as the thought of all that had transpired here, ad the many that had died tinged her vision red. She let it fuel here, and adrenaline coursed though her veins. All thoughts faded as she parried scorching red blasted bolts with her cerulean blade. She leapt, breaking formation, and began to slash at all the droids around her. She was barely aware of the other doing the same, as she continued to hack the battle droids to scrap metal. 

She was so laser-focused and enraged, that she startled when she heard a cry of pain from behind her. Finishing off the last droid, she rushed to the source of the cry; Rex had been shot.

A/N: I hope you guys likes this chapter! How much longer would you like Eve to stay here before I advance to the next crucial development? Should she stay and make more bonds with these beloved characters, or should I introduce you to the beginning of the end? Please let me know so that I can update soon! Have a nice night! ^~^
