Chapter 2

Ahsoka stopped. She saw it. A lone, Clone helmet. On the ground. Twelves...

"Oh, Twelves..." Ahsoka moaned, "No...". Then she saw, a bit further on, she spotted a burned, charred droid helmet. Inside it was embeded a shard of shrapnel. It wasn't recognisable as Sepratist or Republic. She pocketed it. Maybe someone at camp could make some sense of it. Ahsoka slowly walked on. There was wrecked droids everywhere. But no sign of the Clone. In every step, it became more obvious, that this war on Corellia wasn't just between The Republic and The Sepratists. There was another faction, wanting to regain control of their homeworld. Freedom fighters. The Jedi was exhuasted. She flopped onto the ground, and tapped into her comlink.

"Rex! Do you copy?"

"Loud and clear," Replied the Clone Captain,"What is it ma'am?"

Ahsoka sighed. "Rex..." Then she heard it. A distant hum. A low pitched engine, "Rex, I'll be right back!"

It was getting closer. And closer. She ignited her lightsaber. The familiar hissing of the ignition somewhat reassured her. Finally Ahsoka recognised the noise. A speeder bike. A model used by smugglers. Then she saw it. And it saw her. Without warning, it fired. A flury of blaster fire, impaling itself into the rock behind her. Ahsoka broght up her lightsaber, blocking the storm of deadly laser blasts. She couldn't keep this up forever, and the bike was getting closer. She was already tiring. A seemingly endless dance, reassuring her life. Then, a pain shot up her arm. Her comlink was on fire. Quickly, she removed the item. But that gave the bike the time to get closer. And just at that moment, he threw a grappling hook. It wound itself around the blazing lightsaber, but Ahsoka wasn't going to give in. She calmed herself down and raised her arms. She let The Force run through her. It filled her up, an energy from all life around her. It clung to her weapon. Pulling it back to it's master. But, at that point, the biker fired some shots above her head. Warning shots. She lost her concentration. And the lightsaber flew into her foe's hand.

The biker stepped off his bike.

"You're a Jedi!" The man looked angered, "The Republic... Just what I need!"

"Please sir, calm down!" Ahsoka was worried, "Just calm down and think this through."

"I have nothing to think through. The Republic is here. Well, we don't need you're help! Goodbye!"

"But sir!"

"My name is General Mael!" The man Sat back on his speeder

"Well General, surely you know how important Corellia is!"

He responded with a grunt.

"Corellia is in two major trade routes. If the Sepratists capture it, then they have direct access to Coruscant."

"Yes, 'Master Jedi', but we can hold them off!"

Ahsoka was getting irritated now.

"The clankers would give anything to have Coruscant. If I take you to base, could we decide on some sort of treaty."

"... I s'pose so, just as long as it gives Corellia rights to be part of no faction..."

Ahsoka smiled. "Maybe..."
