The Beginning of the End
Chapter One
Ahsoka stumbled through the bushes.
"Come on!" she yelled back to her troops.
She ran harder, hoping they wouldn't find her again.
She turned to find her own men pointing their guns at her.
Ahsoka tripped over a tree root but kept going. If she stopped she
would most likely die.
"Fire!" one of the clones yelled, and her lightsaber was out, deflecting every shot.
She was hyperventilating now, panic taking over all knowledge and reason.
Even as one fell, more would take its place. Droids and clones alike shot at her. Knowing she couldn't win, she took flight into the jungle.
Calm down. She needed to calm down. Fear wouldn't help, and she needed to be careful, or she'd fall into her old ways.
They all followed her, shooting rapidly. She couldn't outrun them all, there were too many. She made it to a clearing and slowed for a second to look back.
Ahsoka saw a cave in the distance and made for it, hoping to hide there.
In front of her, a group of clones stepped out and took aim. She dodged, but one got her in the shoulder, just above the heart.
She was nearly there, almost close enough to stop.
She screamed and kept running, far away from home, from the base, from everything and anything she knew.
Ahsoka ducked inside the cave and kept running for a few minutes, using her shoto as a light. She stopped at a grouping of rocks and sat against them to rest. She closed her eyes.
Troops turning on her... Running... Getting shot...
She woke a few hours later and sighed. Her dreams had been nightmares, reliving the previous day again and again. Knowing she wouldn't be able to sleep, she opened her bag and checked what she had. It wasn't much. Ahsoka didn't have anything to treat her shoulder, just some pain killers, which she used along with a little of her water. She had to get out of there, before she died of infection or something else.
She stood up, stretching, and walked to the mouth of the cave.
Ahsoka didn't have a plan, but she headed in the direction of the enemy base. It was completely deserted, so she stole a ship and prepared to leave. She turned the communicator to the Jedi Temple and a message started playing, telling all Jedi to return to Coruscant, and that the fighting was over. Ahsoka shrugged and set the hyperdrive to take her to Coruscant. Where else could she go? Lexa was still there, and Lux would be worried.
When she came out of hyperspace, there was another ship nearby. She contacted it, hoping for information on what was going on.
"Hello?" a voice on the other side asked.
"Hello, this is Ahsoka Tano. I was just wondering if you knew what was going on.
The voice that spoke next was very recognizable.
"Ahsoka?"
"Master Obi Wan!" she exclaimed.
"Ahsoka, you have to dock with us right now. We have a lot to tell you."
"Yes, Master." she piloted to the ship and docked, happy to see familiar faces. She stepped off the ship and went to the dock. Master Yoda was there too.
Ahsoka bowed her head respectively to the two Jedi. "Masters. What's going on?"
Obi Wan and Yoda looked equally grim, and Ahsoka was suddenly afraid of the answer.
"Destroyed, the Jedi have been." And they proceeded to tell her of Order 66, of the chancellor's true nature, of all they knew.
Ahsoka suddenly felt weak. But that wasn't because of the order. The painkillers had worn off. She gasped and clutched her shoulder. The pain bit through her, and she clutched at the wall for support. They immediately sent her to the infirmary. Within the hour she had been patched up and given some painkillers to bring with her when whatever they had given her wore off.
The two Jedi Masters were preparing to break into the Temple to change the message that told all Jedi to return to Coruscant. Ahsoka wanted to come with them, but had a feeling she should visit Lux instead. So they bid goodbye and Ahsoka ran off into the Coruscant night alone.
So, that's it! The first chapter of a continuation series! Really excited to write this, hope you enjoy it! More chapters
