Author's Note: So I am writing a parallel story with my good pal. Our stories cross a lot and our characters meet and somewhat know each other. He's a great writer, so I you should read his Star Wars work! He does an AhsokaxOC pairing. :D His story is Forbidden Emotion and his username is PokeyMcCor!
"So what was it we are doing here on Krassia again?" Dominic asked, as he sat with Aislinn in the lobby of their ship. He was Aislinn's Padawan, and still very much in training.
Aislinn sighed. She wished he would at least remember the missions they were assigned to. "We were sent here to assist Master Jedi Kenobi in reinforcing settlement on this planet against the Separatists."
The young Twi'lek boy hued a light shade of purple stood up, beginning to pace. His lightsaber hung from his hip and swung with every step. He was about to spout another question Aislinn would probably be annoyed answering when they heard another ship landing in the base.
"Let's go see who it is," Aislinn said before Dominic could say anything.
They walked down the ramp of their ship just to see the Twilight landing. She knew who it was. Clone Soldiers lined up as the ramp was lowered. Aislinn and Dominic stood close by; they were the only force-wielders present here for the moment.
Four Jedi walked down the ramp. She knew they were Jedi from the presence she felt and because of the visible lightsabers they all carried.
"That's Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi," she whispered to Dominic, pointing to the bearded man. A younger man walked beside him, and she pointed out once again to Dominic, "And that is Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker." They were flanked by two younger Jedi, presumably their Padawans.
He looked at her with a frown. "I know who they are!"
"Watch your tongue, Dominic," Aislinn reprimanded. It was her job to keep her Padawan disciplined. One slip could surely put him on the path to the dark side.
She looked away before she could see Dominic's pout. He stuck his tongue out at her when he knew she was not looking.
She waited for a group of Clone troopers to salute and debrief them before stepping forward, Dominic trailing behind her. She was too late to get a word in with Obi-wan, for he was walking off with the male human Jedi that arrived with them.
She smiled as she neared them, the Clone troopers moving out of the way for her. "Hello, Anakin."
"Hey, Aislinn. You know my Padawan, Ahsoka."
"And surely you remember my Padawan, Dominic."
The young Twi'lek smiled, but knew better than to speak out while the Jedi Knights were talking. Well, at least while his master was near.
"Who is the young man who followed Master Kenobi? Surely he hasn't taken on a new Padawan, especially one that old."
"That's Obi-wan's new side project." Anakin leaned in so that only she could hear. "He was trained by Jaden Onasen."
Aislinn opened her eyes wide, but said nothing.
Anakin excused himself and Aislinn went back to her ship to wait for orders.
"Who's Jaden Onasen?" Dominic asked, as they settled back down in the ship.
Aislinn looked at him sternly for a moment. "You weren't supposed to hear that."
"Well, I did. Who is he?"
Sighing once more, Aislinn responded, "His emotions are wildly out of control and he teaches his pupils to do the same. It caused him to desert the Jedi Order. He strongly believes in love and fully expressing that feeling. Stay away from his Padawan – that kind of thinking is very dangerous."
Dominic let it sink in. "Don't worry, I will. I am going to be a Jedi Master." He grinned.
Aislinn chuckled. "We'll see, young one."
They were soon interrupted by a large explosion. They didn't waste any time running out of their ship to see what was wrong.
Clone troopers were atop the wall, firing blaster bullets, raining them down onto enemy droids.
"Aislinn, support Torrent Company on the southwest side!" Obi-wan commanded into her comlink.
She nodded at Dominic and they sprinted southwest. She used her Force powers to launched her self to the top of the wall, Dominic behind her.
"We got two tanks," the captain of that troop told her. His armor stripes were a blue color.
Aislinn nodded and immediately leaped off the wall and landed on the ground smoothly. She stood up and began deflecting blaster bullets as Dominic landed with a soft thud next to her.
She was about to take off when the same captain landed besides her, his jetpacks slowing his fall. "Hope you don't mind if I join you," he said.
Aislinn, still deflecting blaster bullets back at the droids, charged right at one of the tanks. She swung her two purple lightsabers at droids as she ran past them, dismembering their arms, legs, and heads.
Just to the side of the tank she sprung herself into the air. Aislinn attempted to swing at the tank's cannon, missing by an inch. She ignored her blundered and plunged both lightsabers into the cockpit of the tank. Getting up, she proceeded to run along the cannon, and sliced off the tip.
The Clone trooper who had joined her fired his dual blasters at the other tank. A droid peeped his head out of the cockpit and the trooper took that moment to throw a grenade right into the little hole. Aislinn was very impressed.
Both tanks lay broken among the destroyed droids."Wow, that was some impressive work," Aislinn remarked.
The Clone took his helmet off. His head was shaved, different from all other Clones she had seen. He smiled. "Just doing my job. The name's Rex."
Aislinn felt a feeling flare up inside her when he took his helmet off. She dismissed it at once and attempted to regain her composure, though it threw her off guard. "Um, Aislinn," She managed to reply, with a polite smile.
