Both Ahsoka and Anakin dodged out of the way before the beast had a chance to hit them.
"What is that thing?" Ahsoka asked.
"I don't know but I don't like it!" Anakin said and took out his lightsaber. The monster roared at them. Ahsoka saw that it had large sharp teeth, giants horns on its head and black beady eyes under shaggy, black hair.
"I don't think it likes us either." Ahsoka concluded and flipped in the air and landed on its head. It started to shake and growl and Ahsoka had to tighten her grip. "Uhm Master, now would be a good time of killing this thing!" Ahsoka shouted as the monster shook her around. Anakin ran straight towards the beast and swung his lightsaber across its face. The monster cried out in response and Ahsoka quickly jumped off. Green liquid spilled from its head and Ahsoka made a face. The monster suddenly sprouted wings and it flew away leaving a trail of green mess on the ground.
"Let's keep going before another one comes back." Anakin said putting up his lightsaber. Soon after they had finally arrived to the tower.
"How do we sneak in past the guards?" Ahsoka asked Anakin as they hid behind a bush and looked at the tower above them.
"You know I always have a plan." Anakin answered and got up from his position.
"And remind me how well those work again?" Ahsoka exclaimed shaking her head.
Anakin didn't answer. Instead he ran full speed up the hill right toward the guards. Ahsoka groaned and ran after him. The guards started shooting at them and they easily dodged their attacks.
"You make a run for the entrance and I'll take care of the guards." Anakin said as he deflected a laser shot.
Ahsoka followed orders and made a run for the building. Three guards came running for her and she forced jumped over them. Then used the force again to push them away from her. Ahsoka ran into the tower and took cover behind a wall until her master rejoined her. They crept around the silent castle. They were careful of guards and they made it to an empty room.
"We should split up. You look in the bottom part of the tower while I'll look in the top. If you see anything, use your comlink or even the force if you need to contact me." Anakin directed then looked at her seriously. "Please be careful okay Ahsoka? Because I know how you are." he said.
"I will." Ahsoka said and they both parted ways. Ahsoka walked through the empty halls, careful of her surroundings. "If I was a Separatist guard, where would I keep a planets leader?" Ahsoka asked herself. She then noticed a guard standing against a door. "Maybe I'll just ask one myself." she said and walked over to him.
"Hey what are you doing out here?" The guard asked with his gun raised at her. Ahsoka ignored his question and walked right up to him.
"You will take me to the hostage." She commanded and waved a hand over his face. The guard nodded and she followed him to another room.
"He is in here." the guard said and he left. Ahsoka force kicked down the locked door and saw the Ster's leader huddled against the corner. He looked up with a surprised face.
"Don't worry Tendrin, I'm here to rescue you." Ahsoka reassured and helped him up.
"Please save my people. My friends and family are being held hostage somewhere else. Its my fault that they're like this." Tendrin said sadly.
"Okay we will both save them." Ahsoka said but he stopped.
"No, I need to go back to my room. Plus I cannot bear to see my friends and family yet knowing that I've put them in this chaos." He said.
Ahsoka was hesitate to let him leave but she nodded and he left. She continued that same hallway looking for the leaders friends and family. She had suddenly stopped at an dead end and was about to turn around but noticed something on the wall. It looked like a latch. Ahsoka opened it and climbed inside. Once she got inside, she saw numerous amounts of people hiding inside.
"Please don't hurt us." A frail looking woman said. They all were huddled against the wall, possibly scared out of their mind.
"I'm not, I'm a Jedi and I'm here to rescue you." Ahsoka said and stepped inside the small room. But how? She asked herself. She decided that she needed to contact Anakin. "Master, I found the leader and some of his friends and families." Ahsoka said through her comlink.
"I'll be there soon, stay put until we get there. Watch over the prisoners and protect them just incase anything happens." Anakin said on the other end and she hung up.
Ahsoka turned around and noticed how bad in shape the people of Ster were. They were skinny and looked like they hadn't been cleaned or fed in a few days. Ahsoka felt bad for them and wished Anakin would hurry up so they can be rescued. Then Ahsoka noticed one particular figure and her eyes widened. It was Lux. He didn't seem to have noticed that she had arrived, as he was to busy messing with his wrists.
"L-Lux?" Ahsoka asked quietly. When did he get here? She asked herself quietly. She felt her face heat up. Without knowing it, she started walking towards him. "Lux!" She blurted out, once she was standing right beside him. Lux looked up when he heard his name called and looked surprised when he saw Ahsoka standing right beside him.
"Ahsoka? Is that you? What are you doing here?" Lux asked still shocked at her sudden appearance.
"I should be asking you the same thing." Ahsoka said.
"A little help?" Lux asked and tilted his head toward his wrists. They had been tied together by rope. Ahsoka knelt down beside him and easily snapped the rope off his wrists. "Thanks" he smiled gratefully and then winced as he felt pain in his aching wrists.
"Here let me help." Asoka said taking his wrist in her hands and started to rub them.
"That feels better. Thanks. Again." Lux said and Ahsoka smiled at him then awkwardly looked away. "So how did you end up at Ster anyway?" Ahsoka asked him while trying to stop her mind from going dizzy with thoughts.
"Well Padme offered me to celebrate with her for my accomplishment as senator and I, of course, couldn't say no to her..." Lux started. "She had gotten me a place to temporarily stay in, as well as all of my belongings so I was basically set. As I was making my way there. My ship suddenly went haywire and crashed here. And well…I kind of got caught, and a guard took me up here and well, here I am. I think I've been here for around two hours now. "Ahsoka listened to him. "At least your safe." She said and gave a small smile. She looked at Lux and noticed how much older he had gotten since the last time she saw him on Raxus which was nearly a year ago.
Poor Lux she thought as she remembered that Lux now had no parents. She wondered how it was to be a senator and basically doing it alone. It must be really hard for him…She thought. Suddenly she heard a sound coming from her comlink.
"Master?" Ahsoka asked.
"We're on our way Ahsoka. Remain where you are." Anakin said on the other end.
"Okay Mas-" Ahsoka said before a loud alarm started to sound.
Ahsoka covered her montrails since they were the most sensitive. She looked over to the other prisoners and saw that they were panicking and screaming.
"I have to get them out of here." Ahsoka said aloud.
"What?" Lux asked with his hands also over his ears.
"Let's go!" Ahsoka said grabbing his arm. Ahsoka ran to the exit with Lux stumbling behind her from the sudden movement. "Everyone leave the room now! I'm going to get you out of here!" Ahsoka yelled over the alarm. The people were hesitant but followed anyway. After all the prisoners exited the room, Ahsoka and Lux followed behind and made their way to the front of the group. "This way!" Ahsoka called and they all ran down the hallway.
"I can't do it..!" A woman cried with a baby in her arms. She fell to the ground. Ahsoka quickly ran to her side and knelt down beside her.
"Lux help me." She said to Lux and handed him the baby. She gently picked up the woman and let her lay on her shoulder. She carried her as quick as she could and caught up with the others.
"Ahsoka...Ahsoka where are you?" Anakin said from her comlink. She heard the alarm beeping in the background.
"I'm leading the prisoners to an exit! Its not safe here and-" Ahsoka answered before Anakin cut her off.
"What? I told you to stay put!" Anakin said.
"I couldn't just stand there and let them get captured! Its my job to keep them safe." Ahsoka said as she and the others turned a corner.
"No. your "job" was to keep the prisoners safe by watching over them, not to put them in more danger!" Anakin said. She heard Obi-Wan yelling something in the background but she couldn't make out the words. "Don't move Ahsoka" Anakin said before her comlink shut off. Ahsoka groaned.
"Gosh he never listens to me!" She complained. He makes me so mad sometimes! She thought in her head. She was too wrapped in her thoughts to hear Lux calling her.
"Ahsoka, we have company." Lux said, tapping her shoulder. Ahsoka looked at him confused until she saw the Separatist guards surrounding them.
"Got you now Jedi" One of the guards said. Ahsoka narrowed her eyes.
"You can't get all of us!" Ahsoka said.
"Oh that's where your wrong" One of the guards said appearing behind her and snatches the women of her shoulder.
"No my baby!" She cries before they threw her to where the other prisoners were. Another guard grabbed the baby and handed it to the mother. Then he pressed a button and a large net fell over the prisoners. It had wrapped around them and shocked them with electricity. Ahsoka had enough. She took out her lightsabers and charged for the guard. He dodged then pushed her to the ground.
"Hey, leave her alone." Lux said grabbing the laser gun he found earlier and shot at the guards. He had managed to hit two guards but he was also knocked to the ground. One guard took out a taser and tazed Lux, making him go unconscious. Ahsoka had started to get up but she was tazed also and went unconscious. The prisoners looked in fear as the guards started closing in on them.
Whoops another cliffhanger...my bad! ^.^''
