AN: Chapter 2 up. I know it was quick but I have written the whole story the past two weeks so I'm just formatting them and uploading them. Hope you enjoy and REVIEW!


It was early in the dawn hours when Ahsoka heard a knock on her door.

"Hello?" she asked staring at the door rubbing her eyes still in a groggy daze.

"Ahsoka time to get up we have to be the hanger bay" Anakin said "we are headed to the medical station near Felucia"

"Just give me a second" she said stumbling around in the dark reaching for her clothes and lightsabers.

Meanwhile Anakin slid down the wall and rested his head against it.

"Why did she leave me?" he thought to himself resting his forehead in his hand "it was probably because of Rush Clovis". He slammed his mechanical hand into the ground. Clovis had always been trying to be a wedge in their relationship and it finally seemed to have split them apart. Thank the Force she was not pregnant. Sure there relationship became rocky as the war dragged on, it would with any relationship. She had gone unescorted on missions with Clovis to visit banking clans. One day she came back changed. Anakin sensed something had changed in her but he did not know what. He attempted to ask but she coldly asked him to leave telling him he meant nothing to her. It crushed him.

Ahsoka walked out of the room finally ready to depart and glanced down to see her Master sitting up against the wall something clearly bothering him.

"Master everything ok?" she asked

"Yea. Sorry you have to see me like this" he said wiping his eyes.

He collected himself getting up and then they walked to the hanger. Ahsoka had only seen him like this once and that was when he came home late one night. Something was clearly bothering her master and she hated to see him like this, always worrying about someone or something. He had enough going on with the War and her training.

"Admiral what is the status report?" Anakin asked walking through the blast doors onto the bridge.

"All quiet so far...Oddly a little too quiet. You would think with General Grievous leading the assault it would be a zoo out there" Admiral Yularen responded rubbing is chin staring out at the medical facility as it hung in the open reaches of space.

"Stay on high alert" Anakin replied "I'm going to go to take a ship to the medical station to see if any contact has been made with them. I find it odd that we have not been able to reach them"

"For all we know Commander it could be a trap" Yularen said in deep thought "proceed with caution and keep your comlink open so I can report any movement out here."

"I'll go get the troops ready" Ahsoka said and started to walk towards the barracks

"Woah, don't get ahead of yourself youngling" Anakin stopping her as he started to say but was cut off

"Don't you dare call me a youngling. You know full well I'm of age to be a Padawan" Ahsoka yelled scowling and pointing a finger at him. She had had enough of his patronizing tones.

"Easy Ahsoka. I needed you to stay here while I go to the medical facility to check on the clones. Calm your feelings padawan. I was wrong for assuming as such" he replied grabbing her arm reassuringly. She immediately shoved his hand away and walked out. Everything that they had been through and he still didn't trust her.

"Nothing has changed between us. He is still too cocky and not ready for me to share in the limelight...Chosen One my Togruta ass" she thought fuming with anger.

Anakin walked over to Rex who was already in the hanger. Rex was leader of the 501st which was the best clone squad in the galaxy. One of Anakin's closest friends and allies, he trusted Rex with his life so he was happy to have him come along. They boarded the fighter and took off toward the medical station.

As they approached the medical facility Rex noticed something was odd.

"Commander if I may?" Rex asked cautiously not trying to overstep his rank

"What is it Rex?" Anakin responded

"I have a bad feeling about this. You see over near the opening of the hanger bay?" Rex said motioning through the cockpit window towards the station "normally that turret is moving but I haven't seen it move nor acknowledge use coming in."

"I see what you mean" Anakin said puzzled "Pilot do a sweep around the whole bay before we dock."

They pulled back and started to make their way around the building. As soon as they got midway around they stumbled on a tragic sight. 20 to 30 clones were floating in midair around the station, lifeless.

"How could they do something this awful? I knew some of those clones." the pilot said in shock

"Look there is a ship still attached" Anakin said moving in between the two pilots getting closer to the window. "Drop us closer and doc with the station it looks like whoever did this is still here"

The ship boarded and they filed into the station.

"Looks like they put up a fight" Rex said kicking a droid head aside.

"General over here" a clone called over "looks like they left some alive. They barricaded themselves in this room"

"What happened here?" Rex asked the clone

"Separatist forces" coughed the injured clone "They came out of nowhere looking for a disk"

"A disk?" Skywalker asked with a quizzical look

"Yes, it was a discrete mission by our Arc Troopers to capture the plans for a hidden Separatist base. A squadron of troops were able to sneak on board of one of the Separatist battle cruisers and steal the plans but it seemed too easy in the first place" replied the clone

"General Skywalker come in!" a panicked voice came over the comlink

"Yes what is it?" he responded

"Three Separatist cruisers are coming out of hyperspace. They were expecting us!" Yularen said into the comlink. "You must leave the base immediately"

Anakin and the 501st started running towards the ship when out of nowhere droids appeared.

"This day could not get any worse" Rex said blasting away

They engaged the droids while trying to get back to the ship. Just then an explosion rocked the medical station.

"Our ship" Anakin said seeing the debris slowly crawl out into the depths of space "Rex I think our day just got worse"

"Admiral" Anakin called out and all they heard was static

"Damn they must have jammed our communication" Anakin said

"General" Rex called out "there are some escape pods left"

"Everyone get to the pods" Anakin commanded as he watched them all climb in he joined them. The jettisoned off the station before it blew up. Luckily the pods were not damaged and had a large enough energy supply to make it to the Resolute.

\~~~~~~/

"Admiral it has been a good 30 minutes and we have heard nothing back from Commander Skywalker" Ahsoka said with nervousness in her voice. He had always checked in. What worried her more was seeing his ship destroyed and the remains floating in space.

"General Tano be patient. I'm sure they we will get word from him shortly. Commander Skywalker is an intelligent warrior and I'm sure he will find a way off" Yularen said turning to her.

"That isn't good enough!" she shouted at him. Everyone stared and looked back at her.

"I'm taking a ship to rescue him. You three come with me." she commanded them. She stormed out of the bridge and into the hanger. A small cargo ship was still in the bay. All the fighters had been pulled into battle to defend the fleet from incoming Separatist fighters.

"This will have to do" she said coldly.

"I'm coming master" she thought to herself. As she came out of the hanger and closed on the station she say three escape pods jettisoned from it. Seems like they made it off and she sensed Anakin's presence in one of the pods. She went to turn around and came too close to a Separatist cruiser, she felt the cargo ship lurch backwards. They were caught in a tractor beam.

/~~~~~~\

On their way back Anakin noticed a ship break off from the cruiser. That was odd maybe it was a rescue ship going to search for them. They docked in the hanger and made their way out of the pods.

"Admiral what ship just departed from the cruiser?" Anakin asked running onto the bridge

"Anakin! Thank goodness you are alright. We had no idea what was going on down there. We saw the Separatist cruisers unloading fire into the medical station." the Admiral said

"Where is... Ahsoka?" Anakin asked looking around and a sense of panic coming over him.

"Well when we hadn't heard from you so she took a ship and headed to the medical facility. We tried to stop her but she was adamant trying to come and rescue you" Yularen responded

"She's going into a trap!" Anakin yelled slamming his hand down on the console "are there any clones with her?"

Just as he said that a panic Ahsoka came in over the transmitter answering his question.

"If anyone can hear this I'm getting pulled in to a tractor beam. It looks like they came here to capture us. Master don't come after me. Get back to Coruscant and tell the council what you learned" her voice seemed to calm as she said that.

"Ahsoka I will find..." Anakin started to say but it went on deaf ears as the ships transmission cut out.

"Is there a tracking chip on that ship?" Anakin said shouting at the Admiral. How could the Admiral just let Ahsoka leave like that knowing there was a battle out there? How could HE have left her by herself?

"Yes I believe so" he replied

"There better be" Anakin said in a strangely dark voice moving close to the Admiral's face

Anakin turned and walked out of the bridge. He felt frustrated, helpless and lost. Why didn't she just stay on the cruiser? He was able to protect her through a massive Separatist invasion on Umbara but she was gone and there was nothing he could do about it. There was something that tugged at him a feeling that he had not felt in a long time towards the Togruta female. He could explore those feelings later when he was more level headed and she was safe. Right now he needed to get to her as fast as possible.

"Admiral I want to apologize for the way I acted earlier. It was in the heat of the moment and I" walking back onto the bridge after he allowed himself to blow off some steam

"It is understandable Commander" Yularen interrupted "I would have done the same thing if it was someone I had to protect"

"Do we know where the Separatists retreated to?" Anakin asked looking over a galactic map

"It looks like to a cluster of small planets. Biggest one being Onderon." Rex said pulling up the planet on the holoscreen

"Ok. You take the fleet back to Coruscant. I'm going to head out and find Ahsoka." Anakin said to Yularen and Rex

"Anakin you know you cannot do that. The council and chancellor will want a full report" the Admiral said "You have to let her go now and finish this mission"

"I can't do that Admiral" he said looking over his shoulder at the Admiral. He stormed out of the bridge. Anakin headed to the hanger and powered up the Twilight.

He needed to find her. It could not end like this...
