Prologue

Ahsoka backed into a corner of the Jedi Temple, clones advancing towards her at a rapid rate. She had lost one of her lightsabers in the fight that had just taken place. She had no idea where Renae was, or Luke and Leia. She had lost contact with Obi-Wan and Yoda as soon as the attack had begun.

"Fives," Ahsoka said to the lead clone. "Stop, don't do this."

"Sorry Commander," Fives replied, raising his gun. "Orders are orders."

Ahsoka closed her eyes as she awaited the volley of shots that would end her life. For the first time in a long time, she was scared. She didn't want to die, she had begun everything new these last couple of years. Found new people, formed new relationships, she didn't want to let that go. Just as she prepared to become one with the force, she heard a lightsaber ignite. She opened her eyes and saw a blue blade swinging through the ranks of clones. There was a human male there, and Ahsoka knew exactly who it was. He finished off the last of the clones that were in the area and came to Ahsoka's side.

"Trey," Ahsoka gasped. "You made it."

"So far," Trey said with a sly grin. "Are you hurt?"

"No," Ahsoka said. "A few bruises, but nothing bad."

"Good," Trey said. "We have to get you out of here."

"What!" Ahsoka exclaimed. "No, I can't leave. I have to help protect the order."

"Ahsoka," Trey said. "There is no use. Obi-Wan and Yoda have secured the twins. We have to get to the rendezvous point. The only way the order stays alive is with you alive. With you dead, the order grows even more dead."

Ahsoka thought about this. She was a high ranking Jedi Master. She knew that she wanted to help, but the wise choice is knowing when to retreat. They were heavily outnumbered and outgunned.

"Okay," Ahsoka said. "I have a ship in the hanger."

"Let's go," Trey said, and they took off together down the halls of the temple.

They ran into clones along the way, but never saw any other alive Jedi. The worst sight of all was a group of younglings that had been killed, but not by blasters. By a lightsaber. Ahsoka's head started feeling light at the surges in the force that she was receiving, but she quickly pushed them back. She needed to get out of this place. They reached the hangar and saw little to no resistance. They made a beeline towards the ship. Just as Ahsoka lowered the ramp, a squad of clones burst into the hangar. Shots started whizzing past them.

"Start the engines," Trey yelled. "I'll hold them off."

Ahsoka nodded and sprinted inside the ship. She had the engines primed and ready to go in a matter of seconds. She was about to call to Trey when she felt a great deal of pain in the force. She ran back to where Trey was and saw him lying in a pool of blood, blaster marks penetrating his body in his chest, arms, and legs.

"NOOO," Ahsoka yelled as she dragged him inside. She quickly ran to the cockpit and took off, leaving the Jedi hangar and the what was left of the Temple. She was in space almost immediately and punched in random coordinates and hit the lightspeed. As soon as that was done, she sprinted back to the young man, who was bleeding profusely.

"Ahsoka," Trey called out weakly.

"I'm here," Ahsoka said, taking his hand. "Don't you worry, I'm going to get you patched up. You're going to be fine."

"I'm sure of it Soka," Trey said. "You always knew how to take care of me best."

Ahsoka choked out a laugh through her sobs as the tears flowed from her eyes.

"Hey," Trey said. "If I don't make it, you move on. Okay?"

"Don't talk like that," Ahsoka said. "You're going to be just fine."

"I mean it," Trey said, his words getting weaker. "Stay safe."

He trailed of and closed his eyes.

"Trey," Ahsoka said, her eyes widening. "Stay with me."

There was no response and Ahsoka leaned her head down to his chest. She could still hear a faint heartbeat. She sighed and put her forehead against his.

"I love you," she said quietly.

A/N

WASSUP! Here it is, the first installment of the second book of the Ahsoka Returns series. Just to let everyone know, we will be going back in time from this point to about a year before this scene and work our way towards this and a little past.

If you haven't read Restoration of a Jedi, I highly suggest that you do, or this story will not make a lot of sense.

As always I do not own any of the characters
