Hey guys! It has been such a very long time! I don't even know if people are still really reading Clone Wars fan fictions any more now with Rebels coming out and all. If you are reading this, please leave a comment and let me know that someone is still there!
I just recently read through a few of my other fanfics and wanted to write another longer book like "Dreams and Schemes", "Relationships?" and "Responsibility Is A Must". After re-reading "Dreams and Schemes" I'm almost ashamed to call that my book considering how sloppy and dumb it really was. "Relationships?" was pretty good at the end and "Responsibility Is A Must" is the best as far as grammar and writing goes.
The first two were very poorly written, but that's expected considering I was 12-14 when I wrote them. Now I am 17 going on 18 and thought it would be fun to attempt writing another book now that I'm older and a lot more mature and experienced with things. That said, lets see how this goes!
Chapter 1 :
Ahsoka ran at full speed down the long halls of the Jedi Temple. It never seemed to fail that Anakin would cause herself or the both of them to be late to appear before the council for a mission briefing. In this case, Anakin's presence had not been requested, so the blame for her tardiness would fall upon her and her alone.
For what ever reason, the halls of the temple were overflowing with younglings and knights alike. Ahsoka groaned. This place would be twice as busy as usual today, Ahsoka thought to herself as she pushed through the crowded hall way. She pushed people out of her way left and right. She pushed one poor youngling too hard and sent him falling to the ground sending the papers he had been cradling in his hands flying everywhere.
"Sorry!" Ahsoka shouted back to the young student.
The council chambers were just up ahead. The entry door plainly visible, Ahsoka pushed even harder. She might not be all that late after all. Coming to a screeching halt just out side the door, Ahsoka began to quickly smoothen her clothes free from any wrinkles. Looking herself over as best as she could, she found herself fit enough to make a proper appearance before the council. She activated the button on the control panel and the large door slid open slowly.
"Sorry I'm late, Mast-", Ahsoka began before cutting herself off,"Lux? Um! I mean- Senator Bonteri? What are you doing here?"
"Hello, Padawan Tano." Lux couldn't help but smile at her calamity as she confronted him. She was so use to calling him by his name that his new title was foreign to her.
"Now that everyone is here, let us begin." Mace Windu said emphasizing 'everyone'.
Ahsoka blushed at Mace's reference to her.
"A special mission we have for you." Yoda began.
"Special mission?" Ahsoka questioned with a raised brow.
"Yes. You and Senator Bonteri will be going on an undercover investigation mission." Obi-wan revealed.
"Under cover mission to where?" asked Lux.
"Raxus." Mace Windu answered.
Raxus. Lux felt a sinking feeling in his stomach and his chest pinched. Their mission was to Raxus, his home planet. He hadn't been there since.. the death of his mother. After Dooku killed his mother, he had no choice but to flee the system. It had been two years since that whole inncident and they expected him to go back just like that?
Ahsoka noticed Lux's immediate uneasiness. It did not take being a jedi to feel the tension radiating off of him. How could she blame him though? First he lost his father to a clone attack and then he lost his mother to Dooku. A lot had happened to him during his time on Raxus. And obviously Ahsoka wasn't the only one who noticed Lux's visible tenseness.
"We know that this is a great request to ask of you, Senator Bonteri, but we found you the perfect candidate for the mission considering your knowledge of the capital planet and your history with the Separatist system and protocol." Obi-wan stated.
Lux was stumped. He really didn't want to go back, but he was a part of the Republic and he felt it was his duty to help in any way possible; and although he hadn't gained knowledge as of yet what they would be investigating, if it meant for the Republic an over all potential victory in this God-forsaken war it was his place to commit.
"I'll do it." He said hesitantly.
"Good. It's settled then." Mace Windu proclaimed.
"What will we be investigating?" Ahsoka chimed in.
"We have received word through a reliable source that the separatists are in the final testing phases of creating a new biochemical weapon." Obi wan answered.
"Biochemical? Like a poison gas? What does it do?" Lux asked now confused.
"That's where you step in. Not much is known about this new weapon; we aren't even sure what it does, but whatever its effects, we know they will be fatal due to the high secrecy of this project." said Mace Windu.
"How are we suppose to gather information about this new weapon if it is so top secret? I'm sure security will be tight in the facility it is held in." Ahsoka stated.
"The creator of this weapon is who you will target. His name is Ommol Seer. All the plans and information for the weapons design come directly from him and him alone. Without Ommol the separatists will be at a stand still and will be unable to complete the weapons final form." said Obi wan.
"So you want us to take him out?" Lux questioned.
"No. Bring him here you will. Questions for him we have." Yoda answered.
"Sorry to keep asking questions, but what exactly will we be undercover as." Ahsoka felt a hint of regret after asking her question when she noticed the small grin on Master Yoda's face.
"You two will be stepping into the lives of Pok and Ava Lopa; a newly wed couple on their honeymoon to the separatist capital." Mace Windu revealed.
"What..?" Ahsoka and Lux both said and blushed simultaneously.
"Do I need to repeat myself? You will be going under cover as a newly wed coup-" Mace was cut off.
"Alright! We got it, we got it." Ahsoka blushed a little more,"When do we set out to leave?"
"Tomorrow. You will be taking a public transport. Here are your passports. The shuttle leaves at 07:00 tomorrow morning." Obi-wan said as he handed them their passports.
"Gotcha." Ahsoka accepted nervously.
"You are dismissed"
"May the Force be with you." Yoda said as the young pare exited the chambers.
I know this wasn't the longest chapter, but it was a set up. We'll see how this story is accepted and if it gets a pretty good response then we'll bump up the chapter lengths. I hope you enjoyed! Please review!
