Overlady Tano

Chapter 2

I own nothing

Ahsoka slowly opened her eyes, hoping it was all a nightmare. But she gasped when she saw her surroundings, it was real. "Ah master you're awake" a voice said. She saw the little grey creature hobble in "I hope you feel better after yesterday's eve-hrk" he said only to be interrupted as he was lifted into the air and force choked. Ahsoka's face was one of pure rage "give me one reason why I shouldn't snap your shriveled little neck and it better be a damn good one."

"*hack* I… understand your… anger master *cough* just give me a chance to *wheeze* explain" he said. Ahsoka dropped him, letting him breathe "what was all of that yesterday, you were torturing me then you started treating me like royalty" she asked impatiently. "I'm sorry for the rude welcome master, the torture was a test to see if you had the fortitude to be the next Overlady" he explained. Ahsoka narrowed her eyes "last time I was put through hell a test was used as an excuse and I don't even know what this Overlady crap you're talking about is" she said, her voice giving a warning tone. "Ah yes, those simple-minded fools on the Jedi Council, they understand the will of the force as well as a fly understands basic" the creature said.

Ahsoka was surprised by this "wait, how do you know that" she asked. "One of my colleagues; Trickster, he has eyes and ears across the galaxy" the creature explained. Ahsoka stood up while making sure her robe stayed on "who even are you people" she asked. "I am Gnarl; master of minions, the others and I are your advisors, warriors, and specialists" Gnarl said. "Walk with me master, I'll explain with the others" he asked.

Ahsoka didn't trust this shriveled nut on legs but he didn't seem hostile for the time being. They walked through an empty set of rooms and came to a platform. They stepped on and Ahsoka saw a massive cavern with lava on all sides, the platform began to float. Ahsoka saw a massive tower in the middle of this cavern, it easily dwarfed most buildings on Coruscant. A few minutes later the platform stopped, and they stepped off.

They entered a huge foyer area where the others were waiting. Trickster noticed them enter "look alive everyone, pissed off Overlady incoming" he said. When the two stopped in front of them she glared as she looked over them. "Alright, you are going to tell me what that crap yesterday was and what is this Overlady thing" she said, her tone showing no room for argument. They huddled together to decide who would tell her, mainly because they didn't want an overlady's anger taken out on them.

Eventually they decided that Gnarl should do it since he was the first advisor. "Well master as I said, yesterday was a test to see if you had the fortitude of an Overlady. As for what that is, there have been a long line of Overlords and Overladies. This line dates to the fall of the infinite empire, the last Overlord was Darth Revan." This surprised Ahsoka; she had been taught about Revan, how he redeemed himself and saved the Republic from his former apprentice Darth Malak.

Iowa groaned "ugh, just hearing that name gives me a bad taste in my mouth" he said. Gnarl nodded "indeed; truly the most disappointing Overlord, rejecting his title and becoming a hero. A terrible blow against everything the title stands for." Ahsoka crossed her arms "and what exactly does it stand for" she asked impatiently, annoyed at them for losing track of the conversation's point. "Right; sorry master, anyway the Overlord/lady is basically the embodiment of the galaxy's evil" Gnarl said.

Ahsoka raised a brow "I thought that was the dark side" she said. Everyone chuckled at that "something funny" Ahsoka said, anger clear in her voice. Everyone stopped "apology: forgive us master, we were not laughing at you" HK-47 said, "we were just laughing about something from a long time ago" Gem added. "And what is that" Ahsoka said in annoyance. Trickster spoke up "the thing about the concept of a dark and light side is…" he created a drum, a pair of drumsticks, and did a drumroll "…we invented it."

Any annoyance Ahsoka felt gave way to surprise "what." "Yep, made the whole thing up" Meowth said. "You see master; there is no such thing as a light or dark side, there is just the force" GLaDOS said. Gnarl nodded "indeed, these things are the force manifesting this way because the Jedi and Sith believe that's how it works, the way we told them it works" he explained. "Okay… that explains how it works but not why you did it" Ahsoka said, her mind trying to wrap around what they said.

"To spread chaos" Shiva said, "two groups at each other's throats, one going insane from dark influences that are basically a placebo effect and the other obsessed with avoiding it while falling into another placebo effect." "It's quite humorous, these two groups getting worked up over something we planted in their heads" GLaDOS added. Ahsoka couldn't believe what she was hearing, everything she was taught about the force was the result of a conspiracy to cause chaos in the Galaxy. Then a thought hit her "wait a minute… wait a fucking minute; you're just trying to screw with my head aren't you, this is all part of the torture isn't it."

"after you act all subservient you drop a bomb on me, a bomb that's clearly a lie, just so you can see me lose my mind" she said. "This is all part of the fucking with me process, well you know what I'm done. So, tell me how to get out of here or I'll use the side of the force you "made up" to fuck with you so bad you'll wish for oblivion rather than go into the after life with the memories of what I did to you" she ranted. "I told you she wouldn't believe it" Trickster said, Ahsoka glared at him "the next thing I hear better be the way out of here" she said threateningly. "Master, what if we showed you proof" Gnarl asked.

After a few seconds Ahsoka started laughing "you know what; fine, I'll play along with your little game, so what "proof" do you have that everything I learned about the force is a lie." Gnarl tapped his cane on the floor and a grey Kyber crystal the size of an average sized human rose up from the floor. Ahsoka could feel the force coming from it but it felt different, like the feeling you get from a wild animal. "This is a pure Kyber crystal; completely clean of Jedi and Sith influence, the true form of the force" Gnarl said. Ahsoka placed her hand on it, there was no emotion from the force; no anger, happiness, sadness, or hatred.

She opened herself and the force confirmed it; everything these maniacs said was true, it was all just a sick, twisted joke. For a few minutes Ahsoka said nothing; soaking it all in, then she started laughing. It started small then grew until she was laughing hysterically, like she heard the funniest thing ever. Soon she stopped and smiled manically at the crystal "So it's true; it's all just a joke, and you were in on it. While Jedi and Sith fucked up the galaxy trying to prove which side was more powerful you just watched and laughed as we made complete asses of ourselves" she started pounding her fists on the crystal.

She started laughing again "the Jedi and Sith, we're all just an amusement to you, something to watch when you get bored. And I can't blame you, it's hilarious." She laughed harder for a minute then calmed down, though she was still giggly, then turned to the advisors. "Great work everyone, truly the best joke in the whole galaxy, hell the whole universe." She began laughing again and soon everyone joined her.

Trickster was on all fours while pounding his fist on the floor, Gem and Shiva leaned against each other for support, Meowth and Gnarl were on their backs and kicking their feet, Iowa was on his knees holding his stomach, and HK-47 and GLaDOS looked like they were short circuiting.

Soon everyone calmed down and Ahsoka smiled at them "alright let's keep the history lesson going."

An: hey everyone I hope you like the chapter and my new story on ao3 (same profile name as my fanfiction).
