Ahsoka continued to walk slowly down the steps away from the Jedi Temple. She kept walking out of fear that her resolve might falter. It would cause Ahsoka to run back to the Order that had betrayed her trust and loyalty. Suddenly, R2D2 came racing from the Jedi Temple to Ahsoka. She looked fondly at the little blue and white droid that had helped them out of some very tight spots. Ahsoka said, "R2.. I'm going to miss you." R2 gave a sad beep in response but then gave a happy whistle as Ahsoka's light sabers were presented to her. Ahsoka replied with a grateful look, "R2… did you recover these for me? Thank you." Her hands hovered over her familiar weapons and Ahsoka was hesitant. If she truly left the Order, it meant leaving everything behind associated with the Jedi. However, Ahsoka could not bring herself to refuse the protection of her light sabers. Before departing, Ahsoka asked R2D2 to look after Anakin and the others.

Ahsoka was able to navigate the crowded streets of Coruscant with ease. She had skill with blending in with the populace. Ahsoka eventually made her way to a frigate that was bound for Onderon. She snuck aboard inside the cargo hold and lay low. Once the ship was in space, Ahsoka decided to take a rest. Without the restrictions of the Order, Ahsoka immediately knew who she wanted to see. She needed to warn him about the growing danger… in the Republic.

Anakin still clutched Ahsoka's braid that marked her as a padawan in his hands. He was pondering over what she had said. Did Ahsoka know-about him and Padme? No, they had worked so hard to keep it hidden. He also couldn't stop being furious with the Order for how they had treated Ahsoka so harshly. He walked quickly back into the Temple to find Obi-wan at the entrance. He said with sadness in his eyes, "Ahsoka is gone. I couldn't stop her. She feels that since the Order betrayed her trust, she can't trust herself. What am I going to do, Obi-wan?"

Obi-wan stroked his beard as he thought of a reply. He answered, "This is a time of trial for Ahsoka. Master Windu was wrong. Leaving the Order and living her life outside of it is the real trial for Ahsoka. All we can do is have faith and trust in her. But if you are worried about her, then where do you think she would go? Maybe to her homeworld, Shili?" Anakin thought for a moment and replied, "Thank you for your wisdom, Master. Ahsoka returning to her homeworld is a possibility. But there is another location where Ahsoka might go: Onderon."

Chancellor Palpatine could not resist chuckling evilly as he sat in his office after hearing the news of Ahsoka's departure. He said, "I only wish that I could have orchestrated this turn of events. If I had, things would have gone differently… But the result is still the same. With his padawan out of the picture, Skywalker is one step closer to becoming my apprentice and turning to the Dark side."
