Thank You to everyone who liked my first unfinished JEDI IN THE LAB fanfic. I appreciated every: like, follow, and comment and I'm very sorry I let the fic go. I started writing it in high school and at the time I was very proud of it. Now that I am in college I recently went back to reread it and honestly, to me, it's a flaming hot garbage fire of a story. That being said I still love the idea of a Bones and Clone Wars cross over so I'm rewriting it. Hopefully it will be better then the last attempt.
Warning for the fic: I know some Star Wars info but I'm not totally perfect. I made up some clones. Some errors…probably.
_- To find your way, first you must be lost. -_
'Above the planet Ryloth, war rages. Separatist forces with the help of the Zygerrians have once again gained interest in the capture of the planet and its people. Outnumbered, Republic troops must hold out for reinforcements as the battle escalates. Leading the battle against the Separatist fleet is General Anakin Skywalker, his padawan Commander Ahsoka Tano, and the 501st legion fighting aboard the Resolute. Battling by their side is General Obi-wan Kenobi and the 212th legion aboard the Negotiator. Together they fight to protect the citizens of Ryloth from the grasp of the Separatists and the chains of the Zygerrians, however, despite the troops best efforts it is a fight they are surely losing.'
The bridge shook violently, crystal-glass data screens cracked and shattered, sirens, yelling and flashing lights blinded the senses while smoke hurt the lungs.
The Resolute was going down.
Ahsoka felt an arm steady her from the surrounding chaos. She looks up to see a helmet she's seen hundreds of times before, a plane white shiny helmet. The helmet worn by only the youngest members of the legion, members who have yet to carve themselves out as individuals and at this point, Ahsoka dreads, probably never will.
"A/S0,,KA"
She looks up at the unstable and fuzzy holo-projection of her master sitting in his star fighter. Including everything else on the ship, the signal is dying.
"Master!" She yells over the warning sirens of the bridge. "Master, the Resolute is going down! I repeat, the Resolute is going down! I have started full evacuation preparations, MASTER!?"
The image of her master vanishes as well as the dome lights of the ship. The room, now only lit up with the screens of the individual consuls and the warning lights above their heads convulses once again from, what Ahsoka could only imagine, a direct frontal assault. The waves of the impact send her off her feet and onto a near by rail. Her hearing is muffled by ringing and her own heart beat. A clone from somewhere in the consul station howls a warning about the deflector shield. From another corner of the bridge a clone screeches at his brothers to get the signal back up to her master. She is once again helped by the near Shiny who she suspects is waiting for further orders. Orders she doesn't quiet know how to give. The young padawan regains her composure and looks down at her wrist communicator. She whispers a small prayer to the Force that her Master's star fighter is close enough to the Resolute to pick up the small communicators signal.
"Master….come in Master!"
"Ahsoka." His voice comes in loud and frantic. "Ahsoka I received your last transmission, proceed with the evacuation." He cuts himself off to give orders to the squad of clones flying with him.
"Blue Wing two and seven fall back and cover Red Wing two." She hears him command.
"Ahsoka make sure flight fighter troops evacuate to any and all available fighter ships,,,/,, the rest of the troops will evacuate to the…/ pods. DON'T send them out until I give you the signal or they will be shot down. Reinforcements will be here soon to give the pods cover. Understood?" He presses.
"Understood Master!" Ahsoka confirmed. She lets the signal go. More blaster shot can be heard around them.
The padawan takes a calming breath, "TOAD, do as the General has instructed and evacuate this ship. Everyone who is on the bridge now who doesn't have to be, leave! Head for a pod or a fighter. As for all of us left on the bridge we will unfortunately be leaving last." She quips, trying to lighten the mood.
"Once General Skywalker gives the word the rest of us will head down the hanger. I will get into my fighter while the rest of you escape onto the Twilight. Troopers who are heading to the hanger, I need my star fighter and the Twilight fully prepped for take off by the time the rest of us get down there. Understood?!" She wails.
The bridge roared with dozens of, "YES SIR"s
"Then GO."
A couple dozen clones left the bridge to head for a pod or fighter. Only some consul operators remain with Ahsoka. She wants to cry, she wants to throw up, she wants her Master or Obi-wan to be by her side. The Resolute quakes from more enemy fire. Though she's still holding the rail she loses her footing. Once again a familiar shiny helps her. Ahsoka looks to her helper and pulls a strained but genuine smile.
"Thank you shiny but you now must get down to the pods."
"But Sir" he pushed. Ahsoka put her and up to stop the trooper.
"Go, join your brothers, I will make sure your brother in here will get to safety as well." She assured him.
"What about you, sir!" the clone slightly raised his voice in worry.
"I will be alright, now go, that is an order." She lightly commanded. The clone trooper straightened his back and replied with the usual "Yes Sir".
She watched him walk away from her however before he gets to the door he quickly turns,
"Cupa, my name is Cupa."
Ahsoka nodded still holding her strained smile and replies, "Cupa, good name, now go."
He turns and leaves. Ahsoka prays he will make it, prays all of them will make it, but as another devastating shot hits the ship, as more smoke fills the rooms and as more warning alarms go off, she finds herself doubting it.
All she could do now is wait. It's a strange notion, to simply wait as hell storms and war rages around you. More bangs and blasts, another crystal-screen shatters somewhere in the bridge. It's getting hard to breath. The awful sound of metal fatigue groans from every corner of the ship and into the pit of Ahsoka's stomach. Every couple of minutes a report comes in from either the ship hanger or the evacuation pods updating the bridge on the evacuation progress. Soon the last report is given, informing the bridge that all evacuation preparations have been made and all pods and fighters are waiting for the launch order.
Ahsoka closes her eyes and breathes. She reduces noise of the commotion surrounding her to a muffled white noise. The young padawan tries to find her center like Obi-wan would. Her heart beat calms. Ahsoka can feel her Master and Obi-wan in their own troubles. She breaths through the smoke.
Her com-link spoke "Ahsoka NOW!"
She opened her eyes.
It was time.
She transmitted the orders to the rest of the ship. "All ships launch I repeat, ALL SHIPS LAUNCH! NOW!"
She turned off the ship's PA system and regarded the rest of the bridge.
"Everyone get down to the hanger NOW!"
The clones wasted no time leaving their stations. The group ran down the corridor to the nearest turbo-lift then down to the hangers they went. As they entered the mostly empty hanger another devastatingly massive explosion ravaged the Resolute. Ahsoka and the clones all fell to the floor as pieces of the ceiling and walls crashed down around them. All the ships power vanished and with it, Ahsoka dreads, the deflector shield. The Resolute was dead in space, completely defenses.
Quickly the party regains its footing and breaks for the Twilight. As expected the Twilight's hanger door is open and ready. The clones start piling in.
Before the loading door shuts Ahsoka gives her last instruction.
"Take off, Now, I will be right behind you"
The final trooper to enters the ship nodded and closes the door. A little farther down the hanger is Ahsoka's fighter which lays buried under a large fallen ceiling panel. As she races towards the ship a quick force-push frees the craft.
The last passenger to ever step foot on the Resolute force jumps into her fighter. The star fighter's astro-mech, Q-T, closes the ship's dome and takes off toward the launch opening. As they approached the exit an explosion from inside the cruiser trails behind them, threatening to swallow the small ship whole. Ahsoka pilots out of the hanger and into space but gets lost in the blinding light of the Resolutes demise. She feels something hit her ship. She hits her head on the side panel. Ringing fills the brain and heart. She vaguely recalls hearing her Master from her wrist-com. Q-T is screeching and the fighter's warning alert blares.
She passes out.
On Earth a shooting star is seen in the sky.
