Unfortunately, the nearest planet was a water world. The pod's systems were so basic they couldn't even tell Ahsoka where she was landing. 'Great. Way to keep your tech up to date Bane.'
As they entered the atmosphere, Ahsoka spotted some sort of settlement sitting on the glittering sea. She jerked the controls to guide the pod into a glide towards what looked like an old docking bay and strapped herself in.

The jerking of the pod woke Bane. He shook his head and glanced out the viewport at the vast, unending sea. The pod was in an extremely shallow dive so at least they weren't going to sink immediately. The splashdown was going to be hard and fast, though. He jumped up quietly and strapped himself into the nearest chair. The buckles clicked and Ahsoka spun around. "How-"
"Just land dis ting." Bane snapped. "We can finish our fight later."
"It was finished," Ahsoka muttered.
Bane snarled but said nothing. He had to admit, he'd been cocky and that let her take him out easily.
The city was close now and Ahsoka was aiming for the smallest of the docks. Bane knew better than to distract a pilot when they were trying a stunt like this, but, 'Damn. Dis girl is crazy.' He grabbed his harness and braced himself right before impact.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
The crash wasn't as bad as it could have been, but the pod was trashed and both occupants were heavily dazed.
Ahsoka was the first to recover, and she knew she was going to have a tough time getting out. The viewport was cracked, shattered and buried in the wall, which meant Ahsoka had no idea what was outside. She unharnessed herself and hit the airlock release. She heard Bane moving behind her, but when she spun around to she what he was doing, his attention was focused on the door, not her. His blaster was in his hand and he was scanning the docking bay. "Looks clear, let's go," he growled.
"What?" 'When did we suddenly become friends?'
"We need to get away from da crash before anyone shows up to scavenge."
"I'm not going anywhere with you."
Bane looked at her for a moment, then shrugged. "Fine. I'm not gettin' paid enough to keep ya alive. Do what chu want." And he left.
'Well, that was easy.' she thought. Part of her was also saying, 'Too easy. All I had to do was crash his ship into a sun.' She turned back to the console and tried to get a distress call working.

Bane hadn't gone far from the pod. He knew what planet they had landed on and it wouldn't be long before an army of smugglers would be here and all he had to do was wait for them to capture the youngling and "provide" him with a new ship. He couldn't help smirking as he heard footsteps approaching.
