Rego stood in the archives, searching through books for something interesting to read. He scanned the shelves and reached for an interesting book when he heard something, footsteps, hundreds of them, possibly thousands.They were all coming from the same direction outside of the temple. Could it be battle droids? No, that war was over. He used his force vision to glance through the walls at the front temple's steps. Clones, too many to count. Why were they marching on the temple like that? There was no drill scheduled, the Jedi would have been told ahead of time. He looked ahead of the clones and saw a figure at the front of the mass of soldiers. It was a force user, he was certain of that. He could sense the force flowing through this person. Something sinister was afoot, he could feel it.

The Jedi knight drew his lightsaber but did not ignite it yet. He cringed as he felt a disturbance in the Force, like several Jedi had died at the same time. The clones were responsible, there was no other possible culprit, that would explain the marching on the temple. They were committing genocide against the Jedi. Rego used his vision once more to see the figure strike down a Jedi who greeted him at the temple entrance. Rego had to get out of here, he had to regroup with other Jedi and fall back. He knew of Coruscant, they could lose their pursuers in the undercity, then find a ship and flee out of Republic space. His mind drifted to the other Jedi. What of the younglings? A thousand thoughts raced through his head as he ran out of the library corrider, looking for other Jedi. He stopped once he saw the clones enter the temple, firing blaster bolts. He was currently on the lower section of the library, he needed to get out of here, he was cornered, the back doors were probably guarded. Clones were running in different directions, darting down corridors. They had not yet seen him, which gave him a few seconds to get ready. He ignited his lightsaber and put his back to a shelf of holobooks. He heard footsteps coming down the central corridor, clones, it had to be. He guessed that it was only a smaller detachment, perhaps the larger group that had entered the library had split itself up to cover more ground.

Rego popped around the corner as the footsteps were at their loudest. He caught the clone troopers by surprise and swung his ignited lightsaber into the first one he saw. The trooper went down with a scream as the ones behind him stopped right in their tracks. He counted three in front of him, he had the advantage over them in this tight corridor. He lunged forward, swinging at another clone, he cut that one down and had his lightsaber up in a defensive position immediately after. One of the clones fired off reaction shots, which Rego deflected away. He sliced up, driving the blade into the clone's torso. The last clone had it's rifle up and was backpedaling, trying to create distance between him and the Jedi. Rego was overconfident in his abilities as he misjudged the first bolt and it struck him in the shin, he grimaced but momentarily shook off the pain, and deflected three blaster bolts, then swung into the clone, slicing it in half. 

That was all of them. Hopefully he could have a moment to think before more clones rushed him. He let out a sigh and deactivated his saber. He bent down and rolled up his pant leg, checking on the wound. It was painful, but it wouldn't kill him, he was lucky that was where the bolt landed, a little up and it could've struck an artery. He ripped off a piece of fabric from his sleeve, then wrapped it around the wound. He rolled the pant leg back down and stood up. He once again channeled the force, using it to see through the walls with his vision. He saw a Jedi fall not far from him, then began to turn to look in another direction before he was blasted backwards, and knocked out of his vision. He was thrown backwards, hitting the wall hard. He groaned, rubbing his lower back. Something fired into the wall across from him, the library shook and the blast was strong enough that it knocked him across the corridor. He rose to his feet once more, and walked down the corridor, heading towards the rotunda in the middle, hoping to find other surviving Jedi.
