The medical station located on Polis Massa was cold. Ahsoka had counted about six times that shivers were sent up and down her whole body. The fact that she was sitting on the metal floor on the hallway dangling her feet off the side of the walkway probably didn't help. Everything had gone so wrong; as far as Ahsoka was concerned it was as if every star and planet in every system had exploded at once. Everyone was dead and all hope was lost with them. The jedi once great and powerful peace keepers in the galaxy were dead. Master Obi-wan and Master Yoda told her how the temple burned and all the inhabitants were slaughtered. All her friends and teachers were gone, killed by the clone troopers they had fought side by side with for years. Ashoka had been on Mandolore when her troops fired on her and the real gut punch was they almost won. Maul was on the run, his troopers were in pieces; the siege of Mandolore was over. But the evil sith lord Sidious had other plans; such as Order 66 which immediately marked all jedi as enemies of the republic. The new self appointed emperor had spun the situation as a jedi rebellion which was only partially true. The truth part was the Master Windu and several other master had attempted to arrest Palpatine since they became aware that he was a sith lord. Windu and the other master were dead now killed by Sidious and Ahsoka's former master Anakin Skywalker who tuned to the darkside. The thought of Anakin as a sith felt like blaster blot strait to the heart. He had been her master for almost two years and they had grown closer than Ashoka though possible. But he was dead now killed on Mustafar by Obi-wan after a fierce duel.
A few tears rolled down her face onto her arm which she rested on a hand rail. Master Yoda and senator bail Organa hand received the distress signal Ahsoka sent out after she escaped Mandolore. They met Obi-wan at the station; she had been curious why they were going here and not some outer rim world to plan. It was only when they arrived to find Senator Padme Amidala in labor. It's was no secret to anyone she was pregnant, a very popular political figure like her would have to find extreme ways to hide it. But the even bigger bombshell was she was having Anakin's kids. This part of the news was especially hard to hear since they had been so close and had never told her he was even married. Ahsoka had left the room when she found this out and retreated to this very spot where she sat ever since. The screams of the Padme echoed throughout the empty halls Ahsoka winced every time she heard them, until they stopped. She stood up turning to face the door way she had come through a feeling of worry begging to build in her gut as Ahsoka made her way bath to the birthing chamber.
She walked into the hall outside of the chamber where Bail and Yoda stood a look of despair on both their faces. Ahsoka stood next to them and turned her head to see what distressed them. Obi-wan stood next to Padme holding a baby wrapped in a blanket with another child being held by a droid hovering next to him. Twins she had given birth to twins, Ahsoka had to do everything to keep her jaw from falling open. But that wasn't the cause of the terrible looks on her companion's faces, it that Padme was dead. She had sustained wounds on Mustafar and the strain of giving birth was too much and she passed away. Another one of Ahsoka's friend taken from her by the sith.
About an hour later Ahsoka, Bail, Obi-wan, and Yoda sat around a table in a conference room on the Tantive IV; which was Bail's corellian corvette. The silence of the room was defining as each person had something to say but no way to say it.
"We must hide the children" Obi-wan began "the empire must never now of them or they will burn the galaxy trying to find them" he stroked his chin while speaking as Ahsoka had often seen him do while deep in though
"Agree I do" Yoda added "but hidden where will they be"
"We could take them to the outer rim" let them grow up then train them when they are ready" Ahsoka finally said after building enough courage to
The two masters and even bail gave her strange looks. Ahsoka felt regret for her words but tried not to show it as she needed to be confident as she was one of the only three reaming jedi left.
Obi-wan exhaled softly and responded "Ahsoka this hardly the time to be thinking about training" he spoke with a tone of anguish "they're barley a day old, we have years before training can be considered"
"I disagree, the order is gone the jedi are dead. We need to figure out what our plan is for the future" she responded with a little more anger than she planned
"Far away is the future Young Tano" Master Yoda replied his voice clam as always "Powerful in the force the children are, but to be trained as jedi long away the decision is"
Ahsoka felt like a knife had been thrust into her chest. Had it truly been this bad that two of the most powerful jedi in history were throwing in the towel? She dropped her head starring at her lap; the fact that her masters were even unsure if the kid should become jedi proved how broken they were. Silence returned to the room.
"We should separate them" Bail suggested "it would be much harder to find them if they were apart"
"A good Idea you have presented Senator" Yoda said agreeing with Bail
"I'll take the girl" said Bail "My wife and I have always wanted to adopt a baby girl" he was a good man Ahsoka thought not just for taking the girl but for helping the distraught jedi
"And I will take the boy; Anakin had some family on tatoine they will care for him" Obi-wan said pain on his face and in his voice at the mention of Anakin
"Very well then" Yoda concluded "Wait we will for the children of age to turn and see will we if they are capable of being trained"
Ahsoka still had her face in her lap silent will her masters concocted a plan. She was still unsure of where she would go or what she would do, it terrified her to be alone and grief filled her just thinking of leaving to company of the only family she had. Yoda could sense this as anyone even the most basic of force users could probably. Bail could as well by just looking at her; a smile crept across his olive bearded mouth.
He turned his car to face Ahsoka "You know when Leia reaches the age of training she will need as master. You seemed qualified enough" bail said to the young Togruta
She lifted her face to meet Bail's "what?" Ahsoka asked confused
"Would you like to come and stay with me on Alderan?" he questioned again
"I couldn't I would be putting your family in danger. The risk would be too great" Ahsoka replied
"There would be none we could give you a new name and keep you safe. Plus I am a high ranking senator they wouldn't dare to touch me" Bail retorted with a chuckle
"But" she tried to counter
"No buts, you are coming with me and that's final" bail said standing up "well will drop off master Kenobi and will be on our way home"
Ahsoka looked to Obi-wan and Yoda for help but they just sat there with small grins on their faces. Most of her fear melted away but a few bits remained new fears like getting bail caught. She wanted to protest more but she believed bail would just deny her again.
"What about you master Yoda, what will you do?" Ahsoka inquired
"To Alderan with you I will go to complete your training" Yoda answered "To train the young skywalker you will need to have complete yours"
She smiled at him; her small green master would still be looking out for her. Maybe just maybe it was possible that not all hope had been lost with the jedi. Maybe there was still a chance the empire would not rule forever. Just maybe she would survive.
