Hi there everyone! Stormy here. Welcome to my brand new story. A long time ago, I wrote another Clone Wars Fanfiction, only it stunk. Badly. This will (hopefully) be much better. Enjoy!


"I hope you know what you're doing, master." Ahsoka hesitated.

"I always know what I'm doing, Snips!" Anakin smiled, turning to face Ahsoka as he blindly leaped. Ahsoka watched with a irritated sigh as he sky-dove into the war zone. Shaking her head, she leaped after him. A rush of light blurred as she began to descend. Her cloak fluttered furiously with the wind, stretching from her neck. She held her breath.

Her feet met the ground, and she bent her knees to take in the impact. Taking a moment to collect her balance, she ripped her lightsaber from her side. It grew into a bright green glow, illuminating the foggy atmosphere.

There was no hesitation before a patrol of red lazers blazoned towards her. Deflecting them the best she could, she turned her head to watch the clones descend from their grapling ropes. Blue lazers flew towards the enemies while she defended the clones. The field before her became a rainbow of shots. "Spread out!" She yelled over the noise.

Footsteps echoed as clones ran across the fields to create an uneven line of assult. She scanned the area infrustration. Swinging her wrist to her mouth, she attempted to contact Anakin. "Master, what's your status?" She asked, using her free hand to continue deflecting lazers.

A small static was her response. She opened her mouth to contact him again, but he then replied. "It's heavily guarded, but we're working on getting through." He mustered out.

"Are you sure you don't need my help?" Ahsoka asked, desperate to join him.

"I'm sure! Keep up the distraction!" He replied, raising his voice over the sound of battle.

Ahsoka let out a frustrated grunt. "Can't I just-" She paused as she realized her master was no longer listening. She let out an irritated grunt, eyes narrowing. "I never get to do anything fun!"

She pressed on. Why was she always put on distraction duty? She'd rather be infiltrating the droid base at the moment. But Anakin was intent on taking all the fun missions to himself.

Wishing for more excitement, she nearly missed a lazer directed at one of the clones. Front flipping, she cut it close and sent it back in the direction of the enemies. The fog was far too thick to see the droids coming at them. There was no time for thanks as she swirled her lightsaber around in desperate attempt to block as many lazers as she could

"Push forward!" Ahsoka ordered, beginning to move towards the enemies.

"Sir," A clone by the name of Check spoke up, following her with his gun pointed forward. She could barely see him through the fog. "General Skywalker ordered to keep the battle here, and not near the b-"

"I know what Anakin said!" Ahsoka replied, focused on deflecting. "Just do as I say!"

Check said nothing as he ordered the troops to move forward. Ahsoka made a mental note to apologize to Check later on. But for now, she had no time to feel sorry. Her focus returned to the battle in her hands Finally, she could begin to make out the droids in the thick fog. She rushed forward, gracefully slicing through the enemies with each swing of her lightsaber. Droids went down around her, and she leaped forward against the clankers

"Keep moving!" She yelled.

She knew what she was doing.

Slipping through the droid's line of defense, she sliced apart what she could get in touch with. As she moved onwards, the outline of the base began to emerge through the air. A smile stretched across her face, and the lights emitting from the base created a faint twinkle in her eyes.

Check didn't turn his head away from the droids he was fighting. "Sir! Where are you-"

"Stay here and hold off the droids!" It was all Ahsoka could think of. She certainly wasn't about to invite them with her. Check watched her a few moments before returning to the droids.

Racing through the fog, she watched as the droid base grew bigger and bigger. "I'll take out the base, master." She whispered to herself. "Then maybe you'll realize what I can do, and you'll stop putting me on the sidelines."

Her anger and frustration lead to the quick deaths of the patrol of droids coming. Every droid in her way dropped in halves, and she did not pause to admire her work.

"Hey Snips, how's the distraction coming? We're almost in." Anakin's voice could be heard on her wrist.

She was getting so tired of being called Snips. It was funny at first, but now it was getting ridiculously annoying. She didn't answer her wristcom.

"Snips?"

Ahsoka grumbled. She raised her arm, knowing she's cause unecessary suspicion. "Going fine master!" She said impatiently.

"I'll contact you when we reach the core." He said.

Not if I get there first.

Ahsoka halted in the shadows of the droid base. Watching a patrol of droids pass by, she cautiously slid along the darkness. The droids turned a corner, and she faced the wall with a determined gaze.

Igniting her lightsaber once again, she began to cut open a hole in the wall. She kept alert for droids, though none came into sight as she cut her way through. She slid into the base, forcing the wall back together like a puzzle piece. No one could find this and know of her presence.

She had studied the map at the temple. She knew exactly where Anakin was heading. The only problem was, she knew that last time she disobeyed orders she had been punished.

It won't happen this time. I'll be praised as the hero!

Droid noises alerted her as she turned a corner. She raced forward and silenced them, watching their parts clatter to the floor.

Forcing herself to run faster, she skimmed the halls and corridors to reach the core. She sliced through droids without hesitation, clearing a safe path through. Her frustration lead to her wrecklessly destroying any droid she could come into contact with.

Anxiety was nagging at her. She shouldn't be here. She had strict orders to stay outside and draw out as many droids as she could. Her heart was beating wildly, and she held down panic. If she blew this, Anakin would never trust her again!

She began to have second thoughts, pausing in the coridor. She could turn back now and return to her troops, pretending she never left.

Sadly, within the second it was no longer an option. Droids approached from both corners. "Hault!" One droid ordered.

Angry, Ahsoka leaped forward and began to take them down. She should get out of here. She could talk with Anakin about this later. She began to try and run the way she came, though the droids had the advantage of numbers. She literally had no where to step, it was so crowded now with droids.

She let out a yell, slicing through droids to make a path.

"We've set the bombs at the core!" Anakin's voice startled her. "We'll meet you back at the point of landing, Snips!"

Ahsoka let out another yell, more furious this time. But now, panic had forced it's way up her throat. "Okay master! See you there!" She answered.

Gotta run, gotta run...

The base was going to explode once Anakin stepped foot outside the base. He didn't say where he was, but hopefully Ahsoka had enough time to get out as well. She could slip out and pretend she never went in here.

Her eyes widened. What if she couldn't get out in time?

Her lack of attention lead to a lazer in her leg. She yelled out in pain, collapsing to the ground. No! No no no no...! She deflected the lazers as droids began to crowd around her. Her leg blazed with pain, and tears whelled in her eyes.

She raised her wristcom.

She had to admit what she had done.

"Mas-"

The building shook with a loud explosion. Ahsoka screamed, eyes widening. Droids fell over around her. She raised her head, reaching out and dragging herself across the corridor of fallen droids. She grunted in pain with every movement.

I have to get out... I have to get out...

She trembled with every motion, eyes watery. Her heart flip-flopped in fear, and she could hardly move with the ground shaking under her.

This is all my fault...

She reached up her wrist. She couldn't make it out of here. There was no way. She contacted Anakin. "Master!" She cried out. "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" She rambled on, shaking voilently as she repeated her apologies.

"Ahsoka? Where are you?" His voice asked, slightly panicked at her tone. "Are you alright? What's wrong?" He began to ask quickly, and she could sense his worry, even from far away.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I should have done what you- ah!" She gasped in pain as part of the roof fell onto her back. Her lightsaber was knocked from her hand, clattering across the corridor. The roof was collapsing. This was it.

"Ahsoka! Hold on, we're coming for you!" Anakin's panicked voice attempted to assure her. Tears escaped her eyes from the pain and fear. Death was almost certain in her mind now. She attemted to reach for her other lightsaber, but hissed in pain from movement under the debris. She coughed, wheezing with every breath. She was trapped under a large chunk of the roof. Any movement just caused more pain.

She raised her head. A shadowy figure was slowly slithering towards her through the shaking corridor. Anakin? No. This was not her master. She gasped in pain. Whoever it was, it was her last hope.

"Help me... please!" She begged.

The roof finally relieved it's strength, falling around her. A piece of debris struck her in the head. The last thing she remembered was the shadowy figure reaching out towards her, watching her as she slipped into darkness.
