This is a star wars story set in the time of the clone wars. However, I will be using Starkiller/Galan Marek from the Force Unleashed project. I have altered the character a little bit to fit in with my story.

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Star Wars. If I did, Ahsoka wouldn't have left.

Chapter One

Galan was an apprentice. No. Not just an apprentice. A Sith apprentice. A Sith apprentice to Count Dooku himself. Had he always been with the dark side? No! Of course not. But he was now and nothing nor no one could bring him back … or so he thought.

Somewhere in the centre of Coruscant, two Jedi were training at the temple. The fight was fierce yet not one to the death, thankfully. Ahsoka Tano was in the middle of a sparring match with her best friend Barriss Offee. Their blades clashed multiple times, there were many close calls and both were breathing heavily. But after about 10 minutes it was clear Ahsoka was winning. She had kicked Barriss in the stomach, then force pushed her down to the ground and was about to win, when her comlink buzzed causing her to jump back and lose her footing, therefore falling over, giving Barriss a chance to get back up and hold a lightsabre to Ahsoka's neck.

"Ha I win" Barriss exclaimed happily.

"Hang on; my comlink distracted me."

"Oh please, I beat you fair and square, so just deal with the fact I won and answer the call"

"Fine" Ahsoka clicked on the comlink and brought her wrist to her lips. "Ahsoka here" she said in a professional tone.

"Snips, we've got a mission. Meet me outside the council chambers in five minutes." Came Anakin's voice through the comlink.

"Yes Master."

"I guess you better go"

"For now, but I want a rematch." Ahsoka smirked.

"Yeah right, I won I'm not about to go and fight again only to lose."

Barriss offered her hand to Ahsoka in order help her up; she appeared to have accepted … but at the last minute she pulled Barriss down as well!

"Ahsoka!"

"Bye Barriss." Ahsoka called as she ran off to go meet her Master, leaving her friend on the floor stunned.

To the everyday person outside, the Jedi temple will seem huge and almost impossible to navigate. However, having grown up in the temple since she was three, Ahsoka knew the place like the palm of her hand. Because of this she was well aware of the short cuts and, using all her knowledge, was able to reach the outside of the council chamber in three minutes flat, beating her Master there.

He rounded the corner a few seconds later.

"Ah you're here, good, we shouldn't keep the council waiting." He said as her saw Ahsoka.

"Master do you have any idea what this mission is?"

"I'm afraid not Snips. But don't worry we're about to find out." He answered right before the doors opened and they walked inside.

It was a circler shaped room, with a red chair for each council member; the floor had an intricate floral type design. And the walls were basically all big windows.

Not everyone was present in person. Shaak Ti was there via hologram, as was Kit Fisto along with Ki Adi Mundi.

"I suppose you are wondering why we have called you here." Mace Windu began.

"Yes, we have been thinking what the mission could be."

"Called you here we have because a new Sith there is."

"A new Sith?" Ahsoka asked concerned.

"Yes an old member of the order."

"Who Mater Plo?"

"Galan Marek." Mace said.

Ahsoka's heart stopped. No not Galan he would never fall to the dark side! I thought he left the order because he didn't agree with the council or the code. But I never thought he would join the Sith!

Ahsoka still remembered the last time she saw him.

FLASH BACK!

Galan had just got back to the temple after a mission. He was just about to report to the council when…

"Galan you're back!"

He turned around to see his best friend and secret crush, Ahsoka Tano.

"Hay Ahsoka how are you?" he greeted

She walked up to him. "I'm good," she paused, then added "But I'm even better now that you're here."

Galan blushed. "How was the mission" She asked.

Galan just groaned. Ahsoka knew him well enough to know that was his way of saying 'it was bad'.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Yes. But not here."

Galan took her wrist and led her to his quarters. Once the door was closed, he began ranting.

"The mission was a disaster. Because of the stupid code I couldn't finish the slavers off and they got away!" Galan practically screamed.

"Okay. Galan just calm down."

"I can't! This dumb code is pointless. It stops us from completing our missions and the rule against attachment is possibly the most absurd thing I've ever heard off. Of course it's not going to lead us to the dark side!"

"All right. But just stop yelling."

"I can't!"

"Please Galan. For me?"

When she said this he immediately stopped. Galan exhaled, then went and sat down on his bed. Ahsoka walked over and sat next to him.

"I'm sorry Ahsoka. I just can't go on living like this."

"Ssshh, its okay everyone gets annoyed sometimes." She comforted whist she gently rubbed his back.

"Ahsoka." Galan began. "There's something I've been meaning to tell you."

"Are you okay Galan?"

"Yes. At least I will be soon… Soka I'm leaving the Jedi order." He confessed

Ahsoka was dumb founded. She was going to lose Galan, her best friend in the whole universe and she had a big crush on him. She needed to know something before she lost him forever.

"Galan. If you are leaving doesn't that mean you are no longer bound by the code and if there was someone you liked. Because you said the attachment rule was ridiculous, so you must like someone. You could tell them. Couldn't you?" She hoped he would say yes. Ahsoka wanted to know if he liked her back.

"Yes I can. However, she is still in the order and the stupid no attachments rule applies to her."

"Oh please Galan tell her how you feel. She needs to know." Ahsoka pleaded.

"Why are you so interested in finding out if I like someone?" He said with a smirk.

"Well-I-it's not really-what I mean is-I'm not?"

Galan was no idiot. In fact he understood her reaction perfectly. And his hope rose.

"Okay Soka I'll tell you. But only because this may be the last time I see you… well the person I like is … you. In fact I have a big crush on you. But don't let me get in the way of you becoming a Jedi. Okay?"

Once he said that her face lit up.

"Galan if this truly is going to be the last time I see you then I want you to have this to remember me by."

And with that she lent in and gave him a kiss on the lips. When they brock apart they just stared at each other. "I like you back Galan." Ahsoka finely said.

"Good. But now you must promise to forget me and move on." Galan said as he rose up from the bed, getting ready to tell the council he was leaving.

"What?!" Ahsoka screamed "Galan I can't do that, why would you ask that of me?"

"Because, even though the life of the Jedi isn't for me, it is for you and I want you to become a knight. If you don't because of me I'll never forgive myself. Make me proud Soka."

"I'll miss you Galan…more than you'll ever know." Ahsoka whispered to him. The tears were building up behind her eyes.

"I know Soka but its better this way. Just never forget that you are my best friend and I will leave here with amazing memories of us together."

He reached the door and Ahsoka ran up to him giving him the biggest hug the galaxy will ever witness.

"Good bye Galan." Ahsoka said as they brock the hug. "I'll never forget you."

"Good bye Ahsoka I'll never forget you either." And with that he left the room.

Ahsoka couldn't take it anymore she fell to the floor and burst into tears.

"I'll never forget you" She whispered to no one.

END OF FLASH BACK!

Ahsoka's P.O.V.

I couldn't believe what Master Plo just told me. My best friend ever, now a Sith? This isn't happing. Galan would never. He is good. I was brought back from my thoughts when Master Yoda spoke.

"Spotted he has been. Near the outer rim."

"The republic has a base there and we have reason to believe he is planning an attack." Mace Windo explained.

"Send back up we must. Go there you will and see how badly he is gone."

"This Sith has valuable information that we can use. If possible bring him back. However, if it is certain that the dark side has consumed him… end him." Mace's voice was firm and cold.

What?! I can't end Galan. I thought. No way that's impossible! No! I know there is still good in him and I am going to bring him back! And stop calling Galan a Sith!

"When do we leave Masters?"

"First thing tomorrow" obi-wan replied.

"Council adjourned." Shaak Ti's hologram announced.

Ahsoka's P.O.V.

I had just arrived back at my master's and I shared quarters. I quickly rushed past him, through the room in the middle (it's kinda like a small living room) and into my bedroom. Where upon I locked my door. My brain was in a state of shock and I was, now, unable to think straight. I was in the middle of a battle with myself. One half said go to him, talk to him, remind him of what he used to be. He needs help Ahsoka. He needs you. Then to counter that, the other part said are you crazy? He has turned, there's nothing you can do for him now just forget him and move. Galan doesn't care about you anymore. Remember, he left the order… he left you Ahsoka. The different parts of my mind continued this back and forth for who knows how long. Eventually, I became so frustrated that I began hitting my head on the metal wall of my room.

However, when it became apparent that this was ridiculous, I walked into the refresher and drenched my face in water. The voices finally stopped and I calmed down a little. But I did have a small head ache. Note to self: Never hit head on metal again.

If I was going to help Galen then I would need to be in control of my emotions. Getting all worked up about this is not going to help him at all. I know he's still in there and tomorrow I will go with my master and Rex be side. Together we can bring him back to the republic. But no matter what I will not I refuse to end Galan.

My master doesn't know about my history with Galan. I have never been so glad that he never asked about my time as a youngling before. If he did know then he would defiantly try to stop me from going on that mission. I can see it now … "No Ahsoka. I forbid you to go.

Your attachment to this Sith is too strong and I know you won't be able to kill him you had too." Ahsoka imagined the scene and put on a voice for Anakin.

"But master-"

"No buts Ahsoka. You're staying here and that's final."

Ahsoka made a discussed noise after she had finished her little re-enactment.

"I know that that is the truth, but I need to go. I just have too. No I won't tell master. At least not yet. Maybe I will one day but just not yet. I'm not ready to share my secret and he is most certainly not ready to receive that kind of personal information. Anakin would, without a doubt, over react as per usual."

Right now I need to get ready for tomorrow. I'll need to be at my best. I sense it will be a long mission.

Somewhere near the outer rim Starkiller's P.O.V.

I was on a mission. My master, Count Dooku, has informed me of a republic base not too far away. Eventually, we are going to attack, but not just yet. Master says that if we give them enough trouble they'll send reinforcements. Hopefully, Skywalker. You see my master has, shall we say… uses for him and this is the perfect opportunity for us to get our hands on him. Count Dooku also mentioned Skywalker had a padawan and has given me the honour of "looking after her." I've never met her nor do I know her name, but when she's out of the way her master will be all ours!

Right now I am on my way to check the base. I am to set small bombs on some of the walls of the facility, over load half of their cannons and guns and make a mental note of possible entrance points.

I sense Skywalker's on his way. Good. Now the real fun can begin!
