Chapter I
The ghost from the past
Ahsoka*
Somehow I knew something wasn't right. He was here and he was waiting for me. I felt something more he was near to kill Ezra. 'I can't let it happened. This child is our only hope. The only hope for all Jedi around the galaxy. I need to rescue him.' I thought. I get there just in time. I saw him. From some point of view he was the same strong, powerful and wise, but when I get closer I saw something so familiar he was acting a little like someone I hoped I will never see again Darth Maul. I saw this anger, pain. I can't recognized person that close to my years ago. He was like father to me, he thaught me everything and now he become something, he was fighting with back in clone wars. I didn't want to believe that I'm standing in front of my old master. 'Stop thinking and go help Ezra' I thought
I heard his voice so metallic and weird. "Perhaps I was wrong" he said
"wouldn't be the first time" This time ad least I was right.
"It was foretold that you would be here. A long awaited meeting has come at last" his voice was sooo cold
"I'm glad I gave you something to look forward to" I was really mad and happy in the same time. I found someone who I loved but I couldn't handle the person he'd become.
"We need no be adversaries. The Emperor will show you mercy if you told me where the remaining Jedi can be found" I couldn't believe he just said it. Why would I know. I was not a Jedi. I even didn't saw a temple for 15 years. I only knew about Kanan and Ezra, but he knew about them to.
"There are no Jedi. You and your inquisitors have seen of that" I literally wish I could kill him right now. But I knew I wasn't that powerful
"Perhaps this child will confess what you will not" How can he! Were is that happy person who always crash the ship, who always joked with me where are you Anakin.
"I was beginning to believe I knew who you were behind that mask but it's impossible. My master could never be as vile as you!" I was beginning to cry but I knew I couldn't
"Anakin Skywalker was weak. I destroyed him." He wasn't weak he was strong and he care badly about is friends
"Then I will avenge his death!"
"Revenge is not a Jedi way"seriously I remembered the time he was wanting to avenge my death. I remember who happy he was when I started to live again.
"I'm not a Jedi" he knew it he remembered the day I left him. I knew he was still sad about it.
Then I attacked. We were fighting. Is technic was great but not as good as it was back in clone wars. Then he pulled me of the wall. I guess he thought it was over but I was way better with the force's way than when he last met me. I jumped be using a force and I land back where I was few seconds ago. I jumped to him from behind and he didn't sensed me. I cut off part of his mask, but what I saw was something impossible. I saw his eye his scar and then every memory every feeling of every victory and every failure, every crash, training came back. I knew him and I knew that he is still good.
"Ahsoka" he said. For the first time for 15 years I heard him saying my name. That was something really familiar I was hearing this not even once a day, but the last time I heard it we both were starting to cry and I go away. Some many things to say to him so many worries. I will never can talk to him like I was talking. I will never could share my problems with him.
"Anakin. I won't leave you not this time!" I didn't want to go away again I wanted to face him and say to him everything I want since I left him.
"Then You will die" that words hurt me more the every lightsaber or blaster can. I just... standed there watching his eye. It was so different, so orange and red. Where are those eyes of my master. Those which I was trusting and from which I read his emotions.
I heard the voice of Ezra screaming to me that I should go but I can't. I just pull him away and closed the doors. Then he attackted. After long and exhausting fight he couldn't stand himself so I go away for some distance and I started to cry I cried a lot. I lost him. I lost everyone. Then I felt that something had touched me. I turn back and I saw him. He don't want to kill me anymore. He just... Hug me! I couldn't believe it he was back and he was here! When he stopped. He looked in my eyes and said.
"You know how hard it was when you go away."
"I know. It wasn't easy for me either"
"I missed you. Where were you?"
"I missed you too. I was traveling looking for any familiar face."
"Did you found someone"
" Yes and he very miss you, Anakin."
"Did you found Obi-Wan?"
"No he is dead. Senator Organa saw his death"
"It can't be possible. But you found someone we know. Ooo you found Rex?"
"Yes he really miss you Skyguy" I couldn't believe I named him like that. Like we were back in clone wars. I wish we can go back to then and live another way. Without Bariss nearby. Without war around. Without Empire which started partly because of me. Really know after all this years I realise that all of this is because of me and my mistakes.
"You know I don't want to kill, I never wanted. Remember when I told you that no one will ever hurt you. I know that I am the person who hurt you the most. I... I'm really sorry." The last sentence he said a little more quiet but I know I can forgive him
"I forgive you but what will you do now. Your new master need me I guess."
"I can say to him that you are dead but you need to hide and to come back to rebellion for now. You can't use force by now. Okey Snips??"
"Maybe we fight for the other sides but I know inside we both have something that make as the same."
"What will be this thing?"
"We are not Jedi"
"Hahha. I see your sense of humor didn't change much after all these years."
"Yeah, but without you I wasn't having anyone to laugh at as much as I laugh at you."
"So I see. Did you know anything about Padmè. Is she really gone."
"Sadly I was on her funeral. She looked different. I didn't saw her that sad and peaceful in the same time. She was pregnant. Those were yours kids weren't?"
"Yeah. I had visions about her died and kid go with her. After this I become member of Cuncil but they never gave my master title. So I was angry and I wanted to safe her with everything I had. Then Master told me that Sith can fight with death and win. I was so desperate and sad after you left me I become his student. But I didn't saved Padmè. I...I killed her." Those last words he said with tears in his eyes
"I heard what happened. I wasn't only your fault. She don't want to live anymore. Partly it was my, Maul's and Palpatine. Don't blame yourself." I was surprise not because I said this, but because I truly mean it. I now that I was important to Padmè just like to Anakin. I know that when I left both of them were very sad.
"NO!! That was only my fault. If I wouldn't married her she'll live right now clone wars will never happen and both of use will be normal Jedi. All that met you, Padmè, Obi-Wan and all my friends even my mother is my fault. I...Me causes all those bad things that happen to every of you. I brought war to the galaxy, torture and death to my friends and family!"
„That is not true. You bring happiness to my life. To Padmè's life. Before being your Padawan I had no one who care about me as much as you do. War will happen even if you wouldn't exist. But because of war I learned everything I know now and I make friends, no I found family. You, Rex, Obi-wan, Padmè and even R2 becomes people I care about and don't want to loose. No matter who you are or what did you do. I will always love you and forgive you. I even don't remember my family. Till the day I met you I didn't know what family means but after you accepted me as your Padawan I realise that this means people you don't want to hurt and you can die for them. And this is why I left order to protect you and rest. I never want to hurt you. It was the hardest decision in my life."
„But I brought soooo much pain to your life. You always need to worry about my recklessness. I was never truly a great master. Everything you learned mostly taught you Obi-Wan. I was always blind by victories. I taught you only those things Obi-Wan don't want me to teach."
"Who taught me how to fly in really ridiculous way? You and because of that I survive. Who taught my to trust in friends even if their decisions are stiupid and reckless? You and because of that I'm standing in front of you now. Who taught my how to make really weird and wise plan that will rescue my? You and because of that I'm still living. Who taught my that orders are one thing and how we execute it is another?? You and this is one of my favorite rule. And for lasts how rescue my when I do samething really dumb or I broke some really important rule? You. You taught me everything that I really needed in life. Order didn't, Obi-Wan didn't. You do."
"Yeah. I'm not proud of all those things, but for sure I rescue you few times. I...I wish I could turn back time and repair all my mistakes. I wouldn't let you left. I would better protect you and...and protect Padmè. By now we will be happy, weird family. This nightmare will never happen. Every night I was dreaming about Padmè or you and Rex. Padmè was dying in the time of delivery. But that wasn't hard enough. My dreams about you were worse."
"What they were about. Did I become Sith. OMG!! I'm sooo sorry"
"I don't matter. Rex was shooted but he was still alive . You was protecting him like you always do. And then another shoot come trough. You wouldn't do anything. You pull him away from battle field. He said something to you. You answer then he died in your arms. You was that angry that you stand infronynof all army alone and fight with them. Then red blade appears and... she kills you. Before death you shouted something but I don't now what."
"Wait you said she. Who??"
"Bariss, of course."
"Really. I thought she was my friend... Uhhhh until you know what happened."
"Yeah, I remember. I started to think that you really did that, but I know and you would never did something bad for order. I will but you won't. I remember the day when I first me you. I was afraid of being teacher, because as you now I was never normal Jedi. I thought, you will slow me down and be problematic. I forgot that not so long ago I was just like you. Mabey not just but like you. You taught me as much as I taught you or even more. Thank you." WTH. Is he just thank me. OMG!! It's soooo weird.
"You always been special. You are the best pilot I have ever met. You are the chosen one. You are the wisest and the most reckless person I never knew."
"Wiser even then master Yoda"
"Master Yoda was very very wise, but he didn't understand many of teen problems, which you of course understand and help me with."
"So I'm psycholgical doctor no."
"I didn't say that. I said you always had advance and irrational way to let go of any problem I had. You quickly become my best friend. Then it turn to father somehow. I don't know whe, but I started look at you like you where the closest person to my."
"I thought that Rex was your best friend."
"He was. He is even now. But he was like brother to my. Hr give me many advances how to fight or how to win a battle when your plan felt. What kinda often happen to us. But he never was that close to my as you did. He was always be my side on a battle field, but you were even out of it. You were always nearby when I needed help or just someone to listen. Rex is important and I will do everything to protect him but you were always on first place."
"You know that you had Obi-Wan. He was better in listen then I was."
"I know but he was like uncle. And everybody knows that you can't tell everything to uncle because he will tell mother. Padmè wouldn't be happy if she will know my problems."
Note:
