Chapter 3 part 2

Diplomatic solution

This chapter will continue on from last chapter, so begin.

Ahsoka observed from the side of senator Amidala. "Man this peace meeting is so boring." Though Ahsoka, as she looked over to Galen. He had a serious look and watched the senators arguing.

After a half hour of nonstop disapproved arguing from both sides. Ahsoka was just waiting for them to start fighting. "Man, this senators are like five years old kids" though Ahsoka as she rolled her eyes and let out a sigh.

But finally spoke Duchess Satine up. "Easy now. Let's take a dinner break; I think we all need some rest."

They all stopped talking and started to leave, but stopped when Padme spoke up. "I suggest that we all eat together, it would be a nice change from the politics." She saw directly that most looked lighted at the suggestion of something else then politic.

"It sounds like a wonder full idea. Let's meet up outside the restaurant, in a half hour." Said Satine, in a cheer full tone, as most senators bowed in agreement.

"You seem to be in a good mood." Stated Padme, as she and Ahsoka were preparing for the dinner.

Ahsoka hadn't noticed that she was smiling constantly and skipping around, like a little girl. "I'm sorry, Padme. It's just that I'm so happy and nerves." Said Ahsoka, as she looked in her closet, just to be disappointed in how few cloths she had and not a single one that wasn't combat based.

"Okay, what happened? You have to tell me." Commanded Padme, with much curiosity.

Ahsoka felt like exploding, she was happy but also nerves. "Okay, I followed Galen out. He went to the market, he didn't do much just walking around, but I noticed that he was followed by some bad guys. I guess he noticed it as well, because he went in to an alley." She took a deep breath. "So I followed and saw that he was hiding and that one of them were going to see him, so I drove their attention by knocking one of them down." She continued to look through her closet; she didn't really have anything nice to wear. She wanted to look good in for Galen.

"And…" Started Padme impassion.

"Yeah, yeah. So he took the chance and…..eeh…..took them out. So there was only there leader left and he began to force choke him, I pleaded that he wouldn't kill him, and he must have heard it through the force, because he released him and left." Ahsoka smiled slightly, as she took a seat at a chair and continued. "I followed him for some time, but as I rounded a corner and saw that he was gone. That was as I understood that he known that I was following him. He jumped me, from behind a column. He pushed me up against the wall."

Ahsoka saw that Padme looked worried that he might have hurt her, so she shacked her head and responded, "No." before she had any time to ask. "But then when he was prepared to kill me, that was when he saw me. He released me and asked why I was following him, obviously. I told him that I wanted to talk and that I had helped him earlier. So we talked a little, he told me about his disappearance and…" she paused and then continued with a sad tone in her voice. "he told me how he was tortured and finally how he joined Dooku. He tried to make a run after telling me this but I stopped him and then I told him how I felt for him…. that I loved him." Ahsoka's eyes shined at the thought at their magical moment.

"So what did he say, what happened." Padme was desperate to hear the end.

"He didn't say anything he just stood there and looked in to my eyes…. and for the first time sense he returned, so could I really see Galen in his eyes. I know that he felt something and the time felt like it had stopped, as we moved closer in to each other and we were just inches away from a kiss, when you called for me." Ahsoka looked with an annoyed look at the senator, as she could only give a smile.

"Well that explains why both you and Galen were late to the meeting." Padme smiled, as she walked up to Ahsoka to give her a hand. "Having trouble?" Asked Padme.

"Yes, I have no idea of what to wear. I wanted to impress on Galen and besides this is a dinner not a combat zone." Stated Ahsoka, as she muttered in disappoint. "Damn, I got nothing to wear."

Padme took a close look at her cloths; she watched them all closely and finally took one. "This one is cute…..and it's the most non-combat looking." Padme, waved it in front of Ahsoka and smiled.

"I guess you're right, after all you're the expert in cloths." Answered Ahsoka, as Padme felt flattered by her kind words.

Starkiller and the separatist senators were just sitting outside the dinner room. He didn't really care of what he was wearing, so he and the other security guards. Some clones and a few droids had been there the whole time.

"Why the hell am I'm here, I should be in the front fighting." Starkiller was talking to himself in a low voice.

"Is everybody here?" Asked Satine, as she arrived.

One of the Republic senators spoke up. "Senator Amidala and the Jedi are on their way, Duchess."

Satine nodded and continued. "Then let's get inside." They all walked in. the room was huge and very impressively decorated, it was very elegant. There were two long tables, in the room. "Take a seat senators, but the guards will take the other table." Stated Satine, as they began to take a seat, except for the droids who was left outside.

Starkiller took a seat at the far side of the table, none of the clones wanted to seat next to him, so they fought for the seats away from him. But everybody couldn't have that luxury, so one of the clones had to sit next to Starkiller; he was terrified from all the rumors of him.

There were rumors that he could kill a clone, within a blink of an eye, that he was ruthless and didn't feel pain and even that he took down Anakin's flag ship: The Resolute, with the force. (Yeah, I know big chance.)

The only seat left at the table was right in front of Starkiller and most clones felt sorry for commander Tano, who had no other choice. Starkiller was just about to eat, when the doors opened and in came senator Amidala and a beautiful young Togrutan, dressed in a cute red combat-dress, it looked a lot like her usual clothes. But this was more elegant and looked a lot newer then her usual. It was a clearer red and the skirt was longer. (Well, almost down to her knees.) She also had a silver necklace on her and she skipped her gloves.

Starkiller tried his best not to think or look at her but it was hard. "She looks like an angel." These words went over and over, in Starkiller's head. He really had a hard time to keep his thoughts under control and not to drool.

"Is this seat free?" Asked Ahsoka, as her question snapped Starkiller out from his thoughts.

Starkiller managed to stumble out. "I g-guess so." With some pride left.

Ahsoka giggled a little, as she took the seat right in front of him. He had a really hard time not to stare. She didn't have any makeup and he liked it, she had that natural beauty. One of the things that Starkiller had begun to hate, because… he liked it.

They started eating there was a complete silent between them, the senators and clones were talking and laughing. Ahsoka broke the silence. "So….what do you think of my clothes?" said Ahsoka, in a desperate attempt.

Starkiller managed gave a confused look, but Ahsoka saw that he hesitated by her question. He's hart wanted to say that she was the most beautiful thing he ever seen, but he's mind told him to stay focused on the mission, his master gave him just a few minutes ago. So he kept his confusing look for a sec and then tried to change subject. "Well, I heard that you have become really good in the Shien-style reverse grip."

Ahsoka smiled, she understood exactly why he asked her. "Yes, I had a good teacher and I have been training a lot." Responded Ahsoka with a smile.

Starkiller couldn't feel other than flattered by her words. "I bet that." Said he, with a little smile.

One of the closest clones with blue stripes on his armor, was surprised that commander Tano, was talking to the infamous Sith apprentice and he became even more surprised when he saw the Sith smile.

Captain Rex, looked at their strange behave and he was really confused, she was talking to the enemy….and….joking with him!

Ahsoka hadn't noticed the clone Captain until he punched her in the elbow, with his own.

Ahsoka turned to see who interrupted her conversation with Galen. "What is it, soldier?" said Ahsoka, in irritated tone, before she saw who it was.

"Well, I just wanted to report my arrival, commander." Responded Rex immediate. He gave a smile, as he saw that Ahsoka blushed in embarrass.

"Oh…eh sorry Rex, I didn't know you were joining the mission." Said Ahsoka quickly. "Oh man I can't understand that I just said that to Rex." Though Ahsoka as she gave a week, ashamed smile.

Rex just laughed at her confuse. "I guess General Skywalker didn't tell you. He sent me to help you; he thought that you needed assistance." he saw that the Sith was secretly watching them. Rex gave a nasty look at the Sith, who pretended to not care and continued to eat his food, but he looked back to Ahsoka as she answered.

"No he didn't tell me that. So typical Anakin." Said Ahsoka as she glimpsed over to Galen, Rex noticed this, but kept it to himself. They all continued to eat and yet again came the award silent, but this time was Rex also quiet.

Starkiller was enjoining the tasty food, as his comlink started to blink red. His face turned emotionless and he gave a big sigh, as some noise was heard from the door.

Two clones went up to the door, just as the door flied open killing the two clones and in came the droids blaster raised. "Take them down!" shouted a clone as he stretched for his gun.

Ahsoka looked back to where Starkiller sat, but he was goon. But suddenly jelled Padme, Ahsoka turned and saw that Starkiller had taken her as hostage.

"Droids cover me… and senator…..nothing personal, but you coming with me." Shouted Starkiller, as he took Padme o his shoulder and ran out, while the droids covered him.

Ahsoka was shocked, but she had to save Padme, so she took her lightsabers and made a run for it. Rex took the charge immediately.

"Cover the commander." Shouted Rex, as they returned the fire.

Ahsoka ran through the long corridors, she know that he was close. She rounded a corner and was meet by five droidekas waiting for her, she tried to run back but a squadron of B-1 droids blocked the way.

"So typical." Muttered Ahsoka and activated her saber and shoto.

Starkiller came up to the landing bay as a ship landed. He pushed the senator on board and was just about to leave when he felt a scream through the force. He ran towards the location of the disturbance. Thought went through his mind. "Is it Ahsoka, why do I care, she is the enemy, maybe…. cause I lov….NO! I'm a Sith and she is a Jedi."

He was just about to turn, when he was meet by a squadron of droids, with Ahsoka as there prisoner. One of the droids walked up to Starkiller and said. "Commander Starkiller, we have captured the Jedi, what is you order?"

Starkiller looked back at the Togrutan she was wounded, with many small wounds and a shoot in the left shoulder. Starkiller couldn't take it; he couldn't see her hurt like that. The anger filled him as he's eyes' turned yellow; he raised his hands and made a grip form with them. All the droids were suddenly floating in the air.

"What's happening?" said one of the droids, as Starkiller began closing his fists, all the droids started to get crushed, he continued until they all was just big metal balls.

Starkiller looked over to Ahsoka, she had a scared look on her face, but she was at the same time thankful. She gave a small smiled and nodded to him, as he ran towards the hangar.

He was nearly there as his wrist-com went on. "Master, the Republic has arrived with backup and the ship with the prisoner was stopped." Starkiller changed rout and ran out at another hangar.

"Proxy, pike me up." Started Starkiller, as he felt a present behind him. "Leave Ahsoka, you have no chance against me, particularly not in you condition." Continued Starkiller, without looking back at her.

"I didn't come here to fight; I just wanted to thank you for earlier." Said Ahsoka calmly.

Starkiller looked over his shoulder and saw some clones coming his way. "No need to thank, I want to kill you myself, but not when you are in bad shape. We will get our chance to dance, but not now." Said Starkiller in a tone, which made Ahsoka unsure if he was serious or was kidding. She nodded to him anyway, as he ran out at the platform and jumped just as a ship came by. Ahsoka looked on as the ship disappeared.

She turned to Rex, as he ran up to her. "Is the senator safe?"

"Yes, she is. But how are you?" Asked Rex, with a bit of concern for the young Jedi. She looked pretty beat up.

"I'm fine, just a bit tired and….and…" Ahsoka fainted before she could finish, she was lucky that Rex had good reflexes and cached her.

"Easy now, kid. Let's take you to a hospital." Rex carried her away.

On a small ship in hyperspace.

"Master the mission was a failure; we were over powered by the Republic." Said Starkiller, as he bowed before Dooku. He felt ashamed for his failure and that he had saved Ahsoka, she is the enemy for god's sake.

"This news is indeed troubling, but the peace is ones again pushed away. We can't let the Jedi win; we have to push on their defenses." Answered Dooku, who didn't take much thought about the ruined peace negotiation.

"So what is my next mission, master?" Starkiller was exited for some real action, he was tired of all this political and he just felt like killing something.

"There is no new mission for you. You are to come back here and start over with your training, another failure from you and I will reconsider replacing you with Ventress. Is that clear?" Dooku's word was final.

"Yes…my master." Starkiller wanted to protest, that pitiful excuse for assassin. He would never let her replace him.

Dooku bowed and turned back to Proxy. Starkiller punched his fist in wall, slightly bending it.

Back at Mandalore hospital was Ahsoka awakening.

She looked around, she was a bit confused, but she soon remembered what happened. She lay down on the soft pillow and just relaxed.

After a few hours of sleeping, was she waked by her master. "Ahsoka, Ahsoka how do you feel?" Anakin had a worried look, as he looked on her small scratches and some few scars; most of them was already starting to heal.

"I feel fine, but I'm sorry that I couldn't convince Galen." Ahsoka looked down at her hands and tighten them, as she continued. "I failed; I wish I could have done more. I….."

Anakin interrupted her. "Ahsoka, that's enough. You have to stop." Ahsoka was confused by his sudden change in mind.

"What! Why?" Ahsoka was angry now. "How, how can he just say that, I can't give up and I won't."

Anakin sighed. "Me and Padme have been speaking and…..we think that the best for you would be to just let it go, he is a Sith. He kidnaped Padme!" said Anakin, as he raised his voice at the mention of Padme.

Ahsoka was about to argue, but she felt that it wouldn't change his mind. She nodded. "Yeah, maybe your right… he really is a Sith." Ahsoka's voice felt empty and care less.

Anakin looked on her with pity. "I'm sorry Snips, but he is the enemy. We can't change him, no matter how hard we try." Anakin clapped her on the shoulder and walked out, leaving her alone.

"Galen…. we will meet again and I haven't given up, I never will. I know that your still in there, just hold out…..Anakin, how could you even consider asking me to give up on him." Whispered Ahsoka to herself, just to keep her hope up.

She was dragged out of her thoughts as the door opened and captain Rex walked in. "hey, kid. How do you feel?" Asked the clone captain, as he walked up to her bed.

"I feel fine…and…..thanks Rex." Ahsoka smiled to the clone captain and close friend. She know that it was forbidden to have attachments, she already was breaking it with her feelings for Galen, but it is hard to not gain some attachment, to someone you meet and fight with almost daily.

"No need to thank, just doing my duty." He always sounded so serious and honor full.

"But…commander I'm a bit curious…how do you exactly know this Sith boy?" Asked Rex, he saw that the young Togrutan was stunned by his question.

"He…he was a Jedi padawan ones, he was….. a friend." Ahsoka didn't want everyone to know about her former secret relation with Galen.

Rex looked confused, but also looked suspicious about her answer. He stood silence for a few sec, until he just nodded and walked out. Ahsoka lay back down at her pillow. "Watch out Galen, I'm coming for you." Though Ahsoka as she smiled, before falling asleep.
