"Have you reached a verdict?" Chancellor Palpatine asked, "we have your honor, we find Ahsoka Tano guilty of all charges" a man said standing to the left in a box next to eleven others. Ahsoka's heart sank when she heard she was found guilty, she stood in the middle of a large room surrounded by people she didn't even know expect for Padme (her defense attorney) and her master Anakin Skywalker. Palpatine looked down at the girl in the middle of the room "Ahsoka Tano you have been found guilty by you piers is there anything would like to say before the sentence is given?" he asked. So many emotions went through Ahsoka's head in that moment: hate, anger, sadness…betrayal. If she was going to go down for a crime she didn't commit then she was going down loudly, she cleared her throat "I have given my entire life to this republic and to the Jedi order, day after day of putting my life on the line and received nothing in return. When things started to go bad for me I looked to the republic, to the JEDI for help but you all cast me away cast me out so I say FUCK YOU! And everything you stand for! Screw the Republic and the Jedi!" she said loud enough that it rang through the entire room. What little chatter was being made by people in their seats was quickly silenced "and the Jedi counsel, I put my faith in you but you turned you back on me, your to stuck up in your holy art than thou moods to see that I was framed!" Ahsoka spat angrily. She then turned to her master "and you, off all people who I thought would have stood by my side now I found out that you stand with the Jedi counsel instead of me…I trusted you…and you betrayed me" she said in a much quieter tone. "Ahsoka..i-" "No you shut up! I don't want to hear your lies Anakin" she said as tears began to roll down on side of her face, but she quickly wiped them away. When Chancellor Palpatine finally came out of his shocked state from Ahsoka's outburst he spoke again over Ahsoka's continual muttering of profanity in her native tongue "you are here by sentences to life imprisonment in the republic maximum security prison where you shall remain for the rest of your life" he said. Jedi guards soon surrounded Ahsoka and led her out of the court room and to the prison.
Ahsoka was led down a into a elevator once she reached the prison, she had a blood sample takes and stored, her weapons were taken; as she road down the elevator she remained silent. "We are bringing the prisoner down now" the clone to her left said, "copy that, she will have to share a cell send her to cell block C cell #762" said a clone on the other end of the mic. When the door opened she was pushed out and lead down two flights of stairs and through a long hallway "alright stop" the clone said to her, she stopped. The clone reached out and placed special bracelets on her wrist, she knew them well they would shock her if she tried to use the force. She was then led further down the hall now until they came to a stop again, she watched as the ray shield dropped and she walked inside, the shield came back up behind her. Ahsoka looked around, the cell was a little smaller than her room at the Jedi temple, there were two beds and a single light in the upper corner of the room.
In the corner of the room she saw a figure sitting in the chair, duros, male, blue skin and red eyes. She recognized instantly, he was the bounty hunter Chad Bane "well hello there little girl, looks like we are sharing this cell" he said. Ahsoka glared at him "you the last person who I would want to share one with" she said. Cad stood up and walked up to her "so tell me, how did the chosen one's apprentice end up in a place like this?" he asked. "I was framed for the bombing of the Jedi temple and sentenced to life" she said coldly, Cad laughed the looked at her "and your master did nothing for you?" he asked. Ahsoka looked down and shook her head "well you might as well get comfy you will be here for a long time" he said. "I will escape" she said looking back up at Cad "and how do you plan to do that?" he asked. "I will find a way" she shot back, Chad laughed again and sat back down in the chair kicking his feet out "why don't you use the force and lower the shield so we can both escape?" he asked. Ahsoka held up both of her wrist to show him her binds, he nodded and sat back. "How long have you been here?" she asked sitting on her bed, "two years but not for much longer" he replied. "What do you mean?" she asked, Cad smiled "I plan to escape" he said. "How?" she asked, "that is my secret…although I am missing one part in my plan" he replied, "what's that?" she asked. He nodded toward the shield "it cant be opened from this side and requires a special key card, but there is a panel in the wall in the cell next to us that can be opened. The wires can be rearranged so it cuts the power to this cell as well as that one but I am to big to get through the vent to reach though to reach that cell" he said. Ahsoka looked up and saw a vent cover above his head "I could fit through that and open the doors" she replied. Cad eyed her curiously, it would be nearly impossible to escape by himself, maybe he could use the Jedi to help him escape "perhaps you could help me escape and earn your freedom as well Jedi" he said. "I am not a Jedi, not anymore…what was your plan after you got out of the cell the guards will be alerted because of the camera's not to mention the guards walking along the stair case" she said. "I have sent out coded messages over the two years that I have been here preparing this, my team is ready they will knock out the power and it will kill the cameras and turrets, we can make our way to the armory where my gear is being kept and escape through the sewage tunnel; but as I said I need help" he said. If I help him escape and I flee the republic I will be a fugitive for the rest of my life and have to flee the republic, or I can stay here until I die she thought, option A seemed like the best hope she had its not like they would retry me even if they did find the person who framed me. "I will help, when do we move?" she asked, "in a month I need to finish gathering the material we need" he replied with a smile.
Two weeks had past and Anakin was talking to Yoda again "please master, let me see her" he begged, "no Anakin, let go of the past you must or consume you it will" he said slightly agitated at Skywalker as this was the fifth time he had come to him this week asking him to see his former apprentice and each time he had turned him down. "Two month retreat you will receive, take your mind off of Ahsoka you must" Yoda said. "She was innocent master!" Anakin said, "Evidence against her proved other wise, no more of this I will hear, now go and do not return until two months" Yoda said. Anakin stood up angrily and walked out of the room, how could the counsel dare think she was guilty. Anakin walked out of the temple, he was going to see Ahsoka wither the counsel approved or not, he jumped in a speeder and took it to the prison.
Ahsoka was talking to Chad when two guards walked to the cell "prisoner 5685 you have a visitor" said the guard. Ahsoka tuned and saw Anakin "Snips are you ok?" he asked quickly stepping past the guard to see Ahsoka, Ahsoka looked at him "what do you want Anakin?" she said with a bitter tone. Anakin sighed he knew Ahsoka was upset mad even "Ahsoka I am sorry about what happened, I am still looking for the person that did this I will clear your name" he said. "I have nothing to say to you" she replied turning her back to him, "Ahsoka please listen to me" he said. "Go away Anakin, I don't want to see you or anyone from the order you all betrayed me" she snapped back. "I didn't betr-" he started "I said go away!" she said with a bitter sharpness to her tone. "…I'm sorry Ahsoka" he said knowing he wasn't going to get anywhere with her right now, he turned and left with a heavy heart. I will find out who did this to you Ahsoka I will clear your name I promise you that he thought as he left the prison.
As the week dragged on Ahsoka and Cad were going to soon make their move and escape the prison "how do you plan to get past the security doors I cant use the force or I'll get shocked" she said, Cad motioned for her to come over to him, she did so. "These binds are a model 3 luckily for you they have a design flaw" he said reaching down into his boot and pulled out a small wire "which is?" she asked. Chad unfolded the wire and began to fiddle with her binds "with the right kind of mettle you can create a connection between the two and they will overload and shut down" he replied while carefully guiding the wire into a hole on each bind when he finished he pointed at the ray shield "touch the wire to the shield and the binds will overload and fry the chips inside" he said. Ahsoka did so and it sent a shock through her body, the binds overloaded and its lights flashed on and off but soon died out and she was knocked back. "You didn't tell me it would shock me" she said looking angrily at him "it shut them off didn't it" he replied simply while he ate his meal that a guard brought to him. "After we escape what do you plan on doing?" Cad asked, Ahsoka had thought about this mean of times and the only thing that came to her mind….revenge "leave Corusant" she said, Cad nodded and thought.
When the time had come Ahsoka was drug from her sleep late in the night by Cad "get up, its time" he said, Ahsoka quickly sat up and looked around then at him "get into that vent and to the other cell the power will be down any minute" he said. Ahsoka nodded and jumped up pulling the vent panel off and jumping in side, it was a tight fit tighter than what she knew it would have been but she squeezed her way inside. She crawled her way through the vent until she came to the cell next to hers she pushed the panel out and jumped down landing lightly on her feet. She quietly walked over to the panel and used the force to take out the screws, she began to rearrange the wires in it just as Cad had instructed her, a few moments later the lights went off and so did a siren "hurry up over there" Cad called "I'm trying" she replied working as quickly as she could. Both of the shields dropped on the cells "there told you I could do it" she said, "come on lets go" Cad replied and started running up the stairs. They made it up two floors and Ahsoka used the force to open the door to the armory, she and Cad began digging through it to find there gear. Ahsoka used the force to call her sabers to her, the rattled inside of a box, she walked over and opened it taking them out and placing them on her hips, she also placed her com back on her wrist. She looked back and saw Cad was ready to go "lets go" he said after putting new power packs in his pistols and dropping them in there holsters.
Ahsoka followed him down the stairs quickly but they were intercepted by four clone guards "prisoner escape" he yelled to one clone who then hit a button that began to seal off the building. Ahsoka activated her sabers and slashed the clone's guns in half then blasted them back with the force "hurry" Cad said opening a door that lead further downward, again they were stopped by four more clones who began to open fire on them, this time Cad blasted them with his blaster, he jumped over the railing and used his jet boots to slow his decent to the bottom, Ahsoka jumped over the railing and used the force to cushion her fall, she landed with a thud. "Get this open" Cad said pointing at a large pipe that ran through the prison, Ahsoka dug her sabers into it and cut a opening in it then used the force to pull the cut metal out of the way. Cad and Ahsoka jumped in and began running down the pipe as fast as they could go "we are in the pipe be ready when we arrive" Cad said into his com, he quickly began placing explosives on the sides of the pipe as they ran "what's that for?" Ahsoka asked. "To cover our escape" he replied rounding the corner quickly and continued running.
They ran for almost two miles before coming to a stop as they reached the exit to the sewer, Cad hit the button that detonated the explosives he had set up. A speeder pulled in front of the opening of the sewer, Cad jumped in when Ahsoka didn't step in "better hope I don't get find a bounty on you, take care of yourself" he said putting his hat on and sat down then the speeder took off. Ahsoka jumped down and landed on the ground, she looked around then ran off to find a ship to take her off planet.
"What do you mean she escaped?" Anakin asked staring at a prison guard "she and one other escaped late last night, they took the sewers out and we haven't had any trace of either of them" the clone replied. "Who was the other?" Anakin asked. "Chd Bane" the clone said. "This is not good, they are probably both off planet now" he muttered. "Sir, she has been spotted west from Jedi temple" the clone said, and Anakin turned and ran off as fast as he could.
Ahsoka ran through the allies as fast as she could while dodging sniper shots coming from the roof top above her, she rounded a building and used the force to jump up the building pulling her saber and deflected a incoming bolt. She charged toward the clone blocking more bolts flying at her she then drove her saber into the clone killing him. She pulled the saber out and kept running trying to find a ship that could get her off planet.
Anakin jumped up the buildings and saw Ahsoka about a block away he bolted after her, Ahsoka sensed her old master presence, she turned around and saw him. She tuned and ran as fast as she could away, she was not going back to jail; she jumped off the roof and ran through the streets now pushing her way though the crowd "Ahsoka stop!" Anakin said jumping down and following her. Ahsoka used the force to cause a car to swerve out of control and crash, she continued to run faster.
Ahsoka finally saw a ship that had just landed "perfect" she said and ran toward it, she could still sense her former master was chasing after. Cargo was being unloaded from the ship by droids, she pushed the droids over and made her way up the ramp to the cockpit "take off now!" she said put her saber to the pilot's throat, the pilot began to lift off again and Ahsoka looked out the window and saw Anakin had reached the landing back, "get this thing moving!" she yelled running to the ramp to close it. When she reached it she saw Anakin running at the ship and jump, he was trying to land on the ramp; in a moment of panic Ahsoka channeled all her emotions into a force push and hurled it at Anakin. Anakin was just about a foot now from landing on the ramp when he was blown fact by Ahsoka's attack, he fell to the ground dazed he looked up and saw the shuttle take off.
