Siblings Meet: Ahsoka's Terrible Heritage! (Act 1)
Standing out on a rocky cliff in a wasteland was a Rattataki woman known as Asajj Ventress. She was gazing out into the wastelands that have been her home ever since she went into self exile, not trusting the Republic as well as wanting to avoid any confrontations with the Sith. But the thing that made her blood boil the most was remembering that humiliating defeat at the hands of former Padawan Learner Ahsoka Tano.
Yes, it was an honor bound duel in which they fought using their Lightsabers, limited martial arts skills, and nothing more. While Ventress clearly had Ahsoka beat in saber skills, the Togruta easily outclassed her in martial arts. How this was possible, she didn't know. But it infuriated the pale woman to no end.
"How…? How could I have lost to a weakling Jedi like her!? And a freaking PADAWAN, for corn's sake!" Ventress ranted in her mind.
Ventress would've continued her mental rant, but she suddenly sensed something. Something strong, evil, destructive, evil, fearless, and most of all… evil.
"What… what is this power I'm sensing?" Ventress asked herself. "Could it be… Tano?"
She looked in the direction that the power level was coming from, but what she saw wasn't Ahsoka. It was definitely a Togruta, but it wasn't either one that she was familiar with. The only surviving members of the Togruta race that Ventress knew of were Ahsoka Tano and Shaak Ti, and this clearly isn't either of them.
The mystery Togruta landed across from her, a glare that never left his face.
"You're not Ahsoka." the Togruta growled.
"Who are you? And how do you know Tano?" Ventress demanded, taking up a defensive stance. "Because if you're looking to die, then you've come to the right person."
The male Togruta laughed a bit as an arrogant smirk made its way to his face.
"You really expect me to be afraid of you?" he asked humorously.
He pushed a button on the device on his face, and the Togruti numeric system began to show again. The device scanned Ventress, and the male Togruta was slightly impressed with the results.
"Power 322. Much more than I would have expected on a backwater planet like this one. But you're still no match for me."
"What did you say? Do you have any idea who it is you're talking to?!" Ventress demanded angrily.
"Does it look like I care?" asked the mystery warrior.
Our mystery warrior kept up his malicious grin while Ventress gritted her teeth in anger. The utter disrespect she'd just been given by this Togrutan male was more than enough to ignite the fires of her rage.
"Does he honestly think that he's THAT powerful?" Ventress mentally asked herself.
Not wanting to risk finding out the hard way, Ventress roared as she shot a powerful Force Push at the Togruta. It struck home and kicked up a cloud of dust that obscured her opponent from view.
"TAKE THAT, FOOL! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?" laughed Ventress.
Her laughter was cut short, however, when she noticed a familiar shadow within the dust cloud. The dust cleared away to reveal that it was the male Togruta! And he was totally… UNHARMED?!
"I'll admit, that was a fine display of dust, if such were your intention." he mocked.
Ventress began to tremble as she unconsciously took a step back from her enemy. She'd put so much power into that attack, yet he hadn't even been pushed back so much as a micrometer! Just what was this guy made of?!
"Care to try again? No? Then allow me to show you some REAL power!" he said.
He raised his left hand which began to crackle with electricity, but the device on his face began beeping again.
"Another incoming power level. This one's even greater…!"
The male flew up, startling Ventress with this ability that she had only just recently learned about. She can't do so herself, but she's heard of warriors with this unique power. Anyway, the male looked around, trying to pinpoint the energy reading. Until suddenly…
"There! That way! Distance is about 12909." he said to himself. "Vast power; the greatest on this world. Can it be other than Ahsoka?!"
He quickly took off after the power level, his device telling him that it was remaining stationary. Ventress stood where she was, before releasing a breath as her knees gave out from beneath her.
"Im… impossible…! I was petrified… utterly paralyzed with fear…!" she mumbled to herself.
Meanwhile, the male was flying at high speed as his rage seemed to be close to boiling over.
"Have you lost your pride…? The pride of the Togrutan Warriors… AHSOKA?!"
***With Ahsoka…***
At the Jedi Temple, we find a group of people enjoying a nice, relaxing day in the temple gardens. Among them were Anakin Skywalker, Padmé Amidala-Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Plo-Koon, and Ahsoka Tano. But she looked different from what we're familiar with.
She was taller now, about as tall as Padmé. Her montrals and lekku had grown to their full length as well. They were shorter than Skaak Ti's, but still long enough to show that she had reached maturity. Her Jedi attire hadn't changed much, only her pants no longer had the holes in the sides. She was also missing her Silka beads, showing her Knight status.
And sitting in her lap was a three year old girl that was a Togruta/human hybrid. She looked almost exactly like her mother, only the colors of her lekku and montrals were inverted. Her skin was also more of a sandy yellow, and her eyes were a chocolate brown color. She also had a crescent moon marking on her forehead, and two star shaped markings under her eyes. Her Force signature radiated pure happiness and bright innocence that can be found only in a child.
The little one giggled at the tickly feeling she got when a butterfly landed on her left montral, causing the adults to smile at her. Ahsoka especially, considering her child could be as carefree as she wanted with the new methods of teaching that the Jedi were trying.
"This flying thingy tickles, mommy!" laughed the little girl.
"It's called a butterfly, Azera. And I know they do." Ahsoka replied with a small laugh as a few butterflies and a small songbird landed on her montrals.
Ahsoka hadn't seen her friends for a good five years since she settled down with Lux, and decided to meet up with them over a relaxing picnic lunch. Needless to say, the others were plenty surprised to see that Ahsoka had a daughter of her own. But they didn't let that bother them for long.
"It really is great to see you again after all this time, Snips." Anakin said.
"I'm just surprised that you're the first of us to have a kid." Padmé teased while playfully jabbing her husband in the ribs.
Anakin blushed a bit from this comment and coughed into his hand. Obi-Wan smirked at his former Padawan's embarrassment.
"Not so funny when you're on the receiving end, is it?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Shut up." was Anakin's chosen reply.
They watched as Azera ran off to chase a butterfly, laughing the whole way. The others could only watch with smiles on their faces as the Youngling played.
"So, tell me, is your kid as strong in the Force as you are?" Anakin asked his former Padawan.
"Yeah, she's plenty strong. Unfortunately, I can't teach her much unless I select her as my Padawan. And that's still years from now." Ahsoka replied, disappointment clear in her voice.
"That certainly is a waste of talent." Plo-Koon said.
"I'll say! But Jedi are taught to be patient, so I'll try to wait until I can take her as an apprentice." Ahsoka said.
That's when a mildly concerned Obi-Wan decided to ask a bit of a touchy question.
"Uh, not to be rude or anything, but does Azera by any chance act… 'strange' if she's outside during a thunderstorm?"
"A thunderstorm? No, we usually try to avoid getting caught out in the rain." Ahsoka replied before asking "Why? Should she?"
"No! No, no, no! I was just curious, that's all!" Obi-Wan said defensively.
"Hey, I just noticed this, but is that a Dragon Crystal* around Azera's neck?" Padmé asked.
Ahsoka smiled fondly as she sat her daughter on her lap and patted her on the head. Around the little girl's neck was a small pink crystal held with a black cord wrapped around it to form a necklace.
"Yup! The pink Dragon Crystal; it's the only thing I have to remember Daughter. So I made it into a necklace and gave it to Azera. I also found the blue Dragon Crystal and the white Dragon Crystal. They're both back home with Lux."
"I have heard many stories about the legendary Dragon Crystals, but never did I think that I would see one up close." Plo-Koon said in awe.
Suddenly, Ahsoka gasped as she sensed something coming straight for them. She stood up and had Azera stand by Padmé as her predatory instincts began to kick in. Particularly the instinct to protect her child at any cost.
"What is it, Ahsoka? What's the matter?!" Anakin asked.
"Something's coming… something strong…!" Ahsoka replied.
"What is it? I don't see anything." Obi-Wan said. "Although, I do hope it's not Ventress."
"No… it's something much, MUCH stronger than her! But what… what could it possibly be!?"
Ahsoka took up a defensive stance with her Lightsaber and Shoto in both hands as someone came into view. The others gasped as it got closer, and recoiled back once he landed. It was a male Togruta that looked about ten years older than Ahsoka. For a moment, he and Ahsoka just stared each other down.
"My, my… all grown up, aren't we. Still, I'd know you anywhere, Ahsoka." said the mystery Togruta. "You look just like our parents."
"Who is this strange male Togruta? And how does he know Ahsoka? Find out in the next chapter of Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Clone Wars!"
*Dragon Crystals*: Lightsaber crystals that are so rare, they're almost unheard of. Equivalent in power to the Dragon Balls, only seven of these crystals exist altogether.
