Summary: Even though she has been cleared of all charges due to Barriss' actions, Ahsoka Tano still leaves the Jedi Order. But when master Yoda has a vision of the future, how will this change the events leading up to Revenge of the Sith?

A Vision from the Force: Registration for a Tournament of Epic Proportions Begins!

In what was once the quarters that she shared with Anakin, Ahsoka Tano was busy packing what little material possessions she had. Mainly a few changes of clothes, a small amount of credits, her Akul tooth headdress, a toothbrush, and a small amount of Duel Monster cards that she managed to buy. All of them were Dragon cards, but they weren't the best in the game.

She had a Dragon Treasure Magic Card, Exploder Dragon, a Dragon's Rage Trap Card, Meteor Dragon, and Axe Dragonute. But there was also her strongest and rarest card; the Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. It's gotten Ahsoka through many tough duels in the past, even though those were just spare decks that her master, Anakin Skywalker, had cobbled together. Ahsoka sighed as she remembered all of the good times she's had with her master. All it took for her world to fall apart was for her to be framed and loosing all of her trust in the Jedi Order and its council.

She just didn't understand. Why would Barriss commit such horrible crimes like these and use her as a scapegoat? The Mirialan was many things, but a murderer was not one of them. She was always talking about how much she wanted to become a Jedi Healer, and help save lives. So for her to kill in cold blood was far too nerve-racking to comprehend.

"Why, Barriss? Why would you do this? And without the Jedi Order, what will I do now?" Ahsoka mentally asked herself.

She shook her head. Dwelling on the past wasn't going to help her. Ahsoka neatly put her cards in her deck case, and clipped the case to her belt. She then closed her bag, and walked out of the room that she used to share with Anakin. She didn't even bother trying to say her final goodbyes to those she cared about. To her, it would be far too painful.

And so, she walked away from the place that had been home to the young Togruta for as long as she could remember; with no known path or destination. All she knew was that she had to find someway to make a living. Maybe she could talk to Ventress about becoming a bounty hunter. Ahsoka may not like the bald woman, but she wouldn't deny that the Dathomirian woman is a skilled warrior in her own right.

But then again, that might not be the best idea. That former Sith Lady hates Ahsoka's guts, and would sooner kill her than help her. And she may be a good duelist in her own right, but Ahsoka knew she wouldn't make it in the pro leagues without a deck of her own.

As Ahsoka was walking through the streets of Coruscant, she stopped as she saw a Game Shop. On display in the window were several different Duel Monster cards, and Ahsoka knew that she could use those cards to build herself a deck. Maybe then, she could try to find a sponsor for the pro leagues.

"Well, I might as well give it a try." Ahsoka thought to herself.

She walked into the store, and found an old man standing behind the counter. He had tanned skin, violet eyes, and spiky grey hair that was held under a green bandana. He wore a white shirt, denim overalls, and a pair of work shoes.

"Hello, can I help you?" the man kindly asked.

"Yes sir. I was hoping to purchase some Duel Monster cards to build myself a deck. As it stands, I only have six cards." Ahsoka replied.

"Really? Well, you've come to the right place. I'm mister Moto, but most people just call me Grandpa Moto." he said. "And if it's not too much trouble, may I see these cards of yours? It may help me figure out which cards work best for you."

While a little bit concerned about this, Ahsoka took her cards out and handed them to mister Moto. The elderly man took the cards, and was amazed by her Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. That was a very rare and powerful Dragon card.

"My goodness, this card is very rare. Where exactly did you get it?" Mister Moto asked.

"It was a gift from… an old friend." Ahsoka replied.

"Well, whoever this friend is, they certainly have good taste in Duel Monsters. I think that a Dragon-Type Pendulum deck might suit you perfectly, young lady. And who knows. If you build your deck right, you might just qualify for the Battle City Tournament that's being hosted here in Coruscant." Mister Moto said.

"Battle City Tournament? I could register for that?" Ahsoka asked.

In response to this, mister Moto typed in Ahsoka's name into the tournament registration website, and was surprised to see that she qualified with a four star rating.

"Well, it looks like you most certainly can! You've qualified with a four star rating with your rarest card being your Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon." Mister Moto replied.

Ahsoka's eyes widened at this. This was a perfect opportunity. If she registered in this tournament, she'd surely find a sponsor for the pro leagues if she got far enough into the tournament. But first things first, she needs to build her own deck.

"Alright, mister Moto, please register me for the Battle City Tournament. And after that, I'd like to browse your store for cards that I can use to build my deck." Ahsoka said.

"Of course, miss… I'm sorry, I don't think I caught your name."

Ahsoka bit her lip. Should she tell him her real name? Even if she's been cleared of the charges from before, there's no way he'd be one of the few to have seen her as innocent. And yet, something in her gut was telling her that she could trust this man. Perhaps the Force was telling her that this man was on her side.

"I'm an aspiring duelist. I'm Ahsoka Tano."

"Alright then, miss Tano, let's get you registered and your deck built." Mister Moto said.

***With Master Yoda***

In the Hall of a Thousand Fountains, Jedi Grandmaster Yoda was deep in thought. He and the rest of the council were responsible for driving away one of their most promising Padawans. And quite frankly, he couldn't blame her for leaving. The council had pretty much shattered Ahsoka's faith in the Jedi Order, and as such, they have also further shattered Anakin's trust in them.

Yoda sighed. He could feel the darkness within the Jedi Order growing stronger, but he just couldn't pinpoint the cause. But he did know that this darkness was strongest in the Battle City Tournament that was about to be held in a week's time.

"Troubling, this is. Strong enough to stop this, we clearly are not." Yoda thought to himself.

Suddenly, he began to see something. Something that was there, and yet wasn't there at the same time. Clearly, he was experiencing another vision from the Force.

***Vision Begin***

Yoda opened his eyes to see that he was at what must have been the Battle City Tournament. It was on an arena at the very top of a tall tower on a remote island. And there were two people standing apart from each other.

One of them was clearly Ahsoka, but she had an object that looked like a crystal blue pyramid pendant with a golden wedjat eye that had a spherical red gem as its pupil in the middle hung around her neck by a golden chain, and was struggling just to remain standing. The only monster on her side of the field was a new version of her Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, and she had two face-down cards as well.

But it was her opponent that shocked Yoda the most.

It was Darth Sidious! He was standing on the opposite side of Ahsoka, and was grinning triumphantly. Held in one hand was an object that looked to be a crystal blue dagger with the same eye mark that was on Ahsoka's pendant. On his side of the field were two massive monsters that were obscured by darkness, so he couldn't make them out properly. But Yoda knew that whatever they were, they were bad news.

"You've lost this duel, Padawan. The Jedi have given up on you, your Life Points are almost gone, and once I've defeated you on my next turn, your Pyramid of Light and all of its power will be mine!" Sidious said.

"Shut up, sleemo!" Ahsoka said defiantly. "As long as I have cards in my deck and Life Points left, I still have a chance to beat you!"

Darth Sidious merely laughed at Ahsoka's choice of words. It was always the defiant ones that gave the greatest feeling of triumph after their defeat. As Sidious laughed, fire began to build in one of the monster's mouth.

"Such a beautiful, yet entirely useless speech. Your life ends here! NOW, MY MONSTER, INCREASE THE HEAT OF YOUR FLAMES!" Sidious commanded.

The creature fully opened its mouth, and aimed at Ahsoka's darker variant of her Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. The Togruta could only grit her teeth in anger as she knew what was coming next.

"ATTACK!"

There was a flash of fire as the blast made contact with Ahsoka's monster before everything went black. But even though Yoda could no longer see anything, he could still hear things. Such as Ahsoka's voice in the shadows.

"Master Yoda…" she said with enough venom to kill a rattlesnake. "You promised…"

"What do you mean, Padawan? What did I promise?" Yoda asked.

"You promised that I would become a knight and finish my Jedi training." the voice of Ahsoka elaborated. "But the council expelled me! Why would you let them do that? Did you have so little faith in me!?"

Yoda contemplated the words that were spoken, even as a ghostly apparition of the Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon appeared in front of him. It soon began to speak using Ahsoka's voice.

"Answer this for me, Yoda. Will I still become one with the Force when I die? Will I still… Be… a Jedi…?"

Yoda had no time to try and answer before Odd-Eyes opened its maw, and unleashed a spiraling blast of dark red fire at Yoda.

***Vision End***

Yoda opened his eyes with a start. Had the Force really shown him a vision of Ahsoka's possible future? If so, then this means that Sidious was going to infiltrate the tournament at Battle City! And Ahsoka was going to be participating in the tournament as well!

"No! A catastrophe, this is! Strong enough, Ahsoka is not!" Yoda cried.

This was all their fault. If they had only listened to Ahsoka and had faith in her when she needed it the most, this wouldn't be happening. That's when Yoda realized something.

If that really was a vision of the future… then there must be a way to change it. And there was only one possible way to do so.

"Confide in my fellow Jedi, I must. Averted, this crisis must be." Yoda said to himself.

He got up, and began to hobble his way to the council chambers. The time had come for an emergency meeting. For this tournament could very well turn the tide of the war, and the fate of Coruscant… No, the fate of the entire galaxy was on the line.

***With Ahsoka***

"Alright, I think that should do it." Ahsoka said.

She had worked very hard on her deck, and with help from mister Moto, finished it in the nick of time. Battle City was going to take place in a week, and that's how long it would take Ahsoka to get there without a speeder. And she knew about the Ante Rule of Battle City.

Both players wager their rarest card along with a set number of Locator Cards. The winner gets their opponent's rarest card, and however many Locator Cards were wagered. Ahsoka had also gotten a special model of Duel Disk. It looked like a simple red colored greave with a deck slot and a screen on the top, but once activated, a Duel Panel made of pure energy would be created by the greave. It also had a built-in Solid Vision Hologram System, as per standard equipment.

"And I must say, you did an excellent job in building your deck." Mister Moto complimented. "And with all of the new types of monsters, especially Pendulum monsters, you'll be one step ahead of the competition!"

"Thank you, mister Moto." Ahsoka said.

She placed her money on the counter to pay for her cards, and placed her new deck in her deck case.

"I'd better get going. It's going to take me at least a week to get to Battle City on foot, so I need to start while there's still daylight out. Thanks for everything, mister Moto." Ahsoka said.

"You're most welcome, Ahsoka. Good luck in the tournament." Mister Moto replied.

Ahsoka nodded in thanks, and walked out of the shop. As she started on her way to the tournament grounds, Ahsoka couldn't suppress the feeling of excitement that was welling up in her.

This was going to be her very first Duel Monsters Tournament since she first learned how to duel. She felt that with her deck, she could win in a duel, no matter who the opponent may be. And yet, she felt strangely hollow inside. Maybe she hasn't fully gotten over what has happened since the temple was bombed. Or maybe she just felt extremely nervous about the whole thing.

Either way, she wasn't going to let something that happened in the past keep her down. That's when something caught her eye. A sign on the museum was advertising the grand opening of an Egyptian exhibit that had stone tablets from a powerful Pharaoh's tomb.

This definitely caught Ahsoka's interest.

"Meh, why not. A quick stop won't hurt." Ahsoka said to herself.

She made her way to the museum, unaware of the series of events that she was about to set into motion. Ahsoka was close to the entrance of the museum, when a woman's voice stopped her.

"I knew you would arrive."

Ahsoka tensed, not recognizing the voice, and slowly turned around. She half expected to see a member of the Jedi Order that was sent to either bring her back, or terminate her.

Instead, she saw a human woman with dark skin, blue eyes, and long black hair that reached her mid back. She was wearing a white dress that hugged her body, and left her shoulders exposed. In addition to that, she was wearing a few pieces of ornate golden jewelry. Especially a golden necklace that was in the shape of a wedjat eye.

"Who are you? And what do you mean by you knew I was coming?" Ahsoka asked.

"To answer your first question, my name is Ishizu Ishtar. But your second question is going to require a bit of history to answer in full detail."

Ishizu began to walk to the museum, but stopped at the entrance before turning to Ahsoka.

"Please, follow me." Ishizu requested.

While she wasn't entirely sure that she could trust this woman, Ahsoka didn't sense any malicious intent from Ishizu. So, reluctantly, she began to follow the Egyptian woman. Unaware that the history that she would witness would change her life forever.

And there we go, the newest challenge that I have posted. If anyone wants to accept this challenge, just PM me for the requirements, and we'll talk. But if enough people want me to continue this story, then I will. Now, I'm gonna go update Gem of Legends. See you next time!
