Chapter I: A Mysterious Transmission

Ahsoka had just returned from a mission with her master. The two were on Cato Nemodia battling Separatist forces. They were successful in their efforts and won the long fought battle.

Anakin and Ahsoka had just returned to the Jedi Temple upon orders from the Council. They had no idea what to expect.

Ahsoka turned toward her master. "Why do you think they called us back Anakin?"

"I don't know Ahsoka", he replied. "But it must be important for us to have been called back from the front lines".

The two then entered the council chambers. The entire council was present along with Jedi Masters Aayla Secura and Luminara Unduli along with the recently knighted Barriss Offee.

Master Windu then began to speak. "We have recieved a mysterious transmission that we believe you all need to see".

Just then a hologram appeared in the center of the room. A cloaked figure stood his face covered. The man then spoke, "This war...oh this war. Such a travesty it is. The Jedi. The Sith. Always in conflict. But I...I...you see possess the key. A weapon of sorts. One that can end this pointless violence. I'm sure it will be useful".

The hologram paused, everyone in the council chambers breathed in as they took in that information. He then continued, "All you have to do is send six of your ranks to claim it from me. However...", a faint smile could be seen from beneath the hood, "the individuals you sent must all be...female. You will find me in my humble abode on the fourth moon of Yavin. That is all. I'm sure I've presented you with an opportunity you cannot resist. You would be wise...to consider it". The transmission then concluded.

Everyone in the council chambers exchanged a serious look. Yoda broke the silence. "Trust in this individual we do not. However cruel this war is. End it we must. Act on this we shall. Preserve peace we must".

Eveyone in the room gulped. Adi Gallia then spoke being the eldest woman on the council. "If we will go then I will lead the mission".

Ki-Adi Mundi agreed. "Yes, we need those with experience. Master Shaak Ti are you up to the challenge?"

Shaak Ti nodded, "I'll go, for the sake of the Jedi Order".

Luminara and Aayla agreed to go as well. "We see why we were summoned here and we will carry out role".

Barriss watched her former master, "I'll go as well, it'll be good to spend some time with my old Master", she smiled.

That just left Ahsoka. She looked in Anakin's eyes sensing his immediate disapproval of the situation. Just then Ahsoka spoke. "I'll go as well". She turned towards Anakin. "Don't worry Master, I'll be fine".

"It's settled then", Master Windu stated. "May the Force be with us all". The council meeting then came to its conclusion.

As Ahsoka began to leave Anakin put his hand on her shoulder. "Be careful..."

Ahsoka smiled. "Hey, when am I ever not?"

Anakin sighed, "Oh Ahsoka, just come back safe".

"Master, nothing bad could ever happen to me. I was trained be you after all".

Anakin smiled, "You're right about that Ahsoka. Now make me proud".

"I will Master. Ahsoka then ran off to join the rest of the team".

Ahsoka joined up with the others at the hanger bay in Jedi Temple. Master Secura was preparing the ship.

"Hello there!", Ahsoka said as she walked up casually.

Aayla sighed. "I don't know why the council saw it fit to include you in this mission. This seems to be a very serious affair. Nit a place for young padawans".

"Hey, I can take care of myself Master Secura don't you worry about little old me".

"Let us hope you are right Padawan Tano", Aayla then boarded the ship.

Ahsoka followed soon after her.

(Several hours later)

Ahsoka sat next to Barriss on board the Jedi shuttle. "So...Barriss...what's it like being a Jedi Knight?".

Barriss could see where the conversion was going. "Oh, Ahsoka...I've known you for many years now. I know that it won't be long before the council makes you a knight as well".

Ahsoka looked down at the floor, "Yeah you're probably right".

Barriss then continued, "I know of your skills Ahsoka, one day you'll prove yourself to be a far greater Jedi then even me".

Ahsoka looked at her friend, "You really mean that?"

Barriss smiled, "You bet I do".

Just then their ship touched down near the forests of Yavin IV.

Adi Gallia walked back from the bridge. "We've arrived, now let's head out".

The party left the ship and continued through the foliage uncertain of what they'd find ahead when the suddenly stubbled upon a vast mansion. The structure was massive spanning several acres.

"Woah...", Ahsoka remarked.

"Don't be alarmed Padawan Tano", Shaak Ti exclaimed.

The six of them then entered into the main front doors of the mansion. As they all entered a cold feeling befell Ahsoka. Something was out of place.

Suddenly the doors behind them slammed shut. "What?", Luminara yelled as the doors cealed.

Then a hologram appeared in front of the female jedi. It was the same cloaked figure from before. "Oh...I see you have all finally arrived. How wonderful. Now I have a trail for you all. The weapon you all seek is somewhere within the walls of this mansion. However you only have...24 hours to find it. Or you'll be trapped in this place forever".

"Is that so!?", Aayla then activated her lightsaber and plunged it at the door in an effort to slice it upon. However to her surprise there was no effect.

"Ha..foolish Twi'lek. This whole mansion was made from Cortosis. A material immune to those wretched lightsabers!"

"Damn...", Aayla said as she clipped her lightsaber back to her belt.

"Now as I was saying...You must find the weapon you seek. Now don't expect it to be easy as there will be obstacles along the way...heheheh...May the force...be with you all". The hologram then deactivated.

"That bastard", Aayla said. "He thinks he can make fools out of us. I'll show him".

"Patience Aayla", Adi Gallia exclaimed. "We must remain calm and vigilant. Then we will find the answers we seek".

Ahsoka looked at her friends and then the corridors before them. "I have a bad feeling about this".
