Ahsoka walked off the platform of the ship followed by Rahm Kota. She walked over to Anakin and stood there waiting for Rahm Kota to catch up.
"Rahm. This is Emperor Anakin Skywalker but you can just call him Master Skywalker." Ahsoka said.
"Anakin Skywalker. You were the leader of the 501st legion. I lead a militia so I can't think how I know that… Maybe I saw you on the holonet once…" Rahm said.
"I've heard of you. You were a rogue going around the galaxy. I'm happy you were willing to join us." Anakin said.
"Now can I get a tour of this place?" Rahm asked.
"Yes you may." Anakin said.
Ahsoka watched the two walk off and she started back to her quarters when she felt a presence she hadn't felt since her time with the order. It wasn't a threat, it was more of a neutral. She looked over and saw a Mirialan about her age standing there.
"Ahsoka." The Mirialan said.
"Who are you?" Ahsoka said confused.
"Barriss Offee. Don't you remember me?" She said.
"I remember your force presence but don't remember you." Ahsoka said.
"I was your best friend and…. The one who framed you." She said.
"Oh… Right…" Ahsoka said with a hint of hostility.
"Ahsoka… I'm very sorry for what I did to you and I kind of wished they executed me but they didn't and when the order was executed I escaped hoping to make amends with you…" Barriss said.
"I would have been killed like all the other Jedi but to be dishonored and make me feel insecure in trust! I was already insecure about who I could trust and you tossed me over the cliff with what you did! The scar is there and will always be there!" Ahsoka said.
Barriss walked away and started crying. She couldn't believe Ahsoka didn't remember her and to be mad at her was reasonable but she didn't even give her a second chance. She walked to her room which was close by and slammed the door. She jumped onto her bed and cried until she could cry no more and she started moaning. She heard a knock on the door.
"GO AWAY." She said crying.
"It's Master Skywalker. Let me in." the voice said.
She opened the door and let Anakin in.
"I'm guessing it didn't go very well." Anakin said.
"Yeah. It was the exact opposite of what I thought would happen. I thought you were going to be mad and Ahsoka would forgive… It didn't go that way." Barriss said.
"In the later years I have learned to let things go. You made a mistake, but you were young and didn't know any better. Ahsoka is young, and will learn to forgive soon but right now she doesn't know how to forgive." Anakin said trying to comfort her.
"I still want to gain her trust though." Barriss said.
"I have an idea that just might work." Anakin said to Barriss.

"Our first meeting of the Imperial Force Order will begin now. Ahsoka, Barriss, Rahm, Luke, and Leia. You are the new council members of this order. I have a few things we must talk about before we get down to business." Anakin said.
"Oh great another lecture." Ahsoka said to herself quietly.
"You are all known as Force Lords. Your rank inside the order is Force Lord. You each will take on an apprentice soon given your high level." Anakin said.
"When exactly do we choose our apprentice?" Leia asked.
"A week until our first group of kids have graduated from Initiates. They are being taught by droids the basics, it is your job to not only complete the training but make their basic skills better." Anakin said.
"Will we be continuing to look for Jedi?" Rahm asked.
"Yes. I heard a really powerful Jedi is somewhere in the Outer Rim. I'm tasking Ahsoka and Barriss to catch him or her." Anakin said.
Ahsoka glared at Barriss and didn't say anything.
"Clone Intelligence has given us this information and if you find this Jedi you will try to recruit him or her." Anakin said.
"Yes master." Barriss said.
"Now I would also like to announce that I am no longer going to lead the empire. That is Empress Skywalker's job now, I'm devoting my full attention to this order." Anakin said.
"That's good to hear. I was worrying about your mental health if you had to control an empire and an order." Rahm said.
Ahsoka and Barriss started laughing and Ahsoka noticed this and thought maybe Barriss was a better person but they still wouldn't smile at each other.
"I assure you Rahm that my mental health is just fine." Anakin said.
"Master when are we going to get our clone divisions?" Ahsoka asked.
"After your mission." Anakin said.
"Awwww…." Ahsoka moaned.

Ahsoka and Barriss got into the cockpit of their ship and begun preparations to take off. They checked the fuel and all the ships needs and then took off.
"Where do we want to go first?" Barriss asked Ahsoka hoping she would at least talk to her for the mission.
"I don't know you decide from this list." Ahsoka said handing her a list of planets in the outer rim.
"Star, star, pick a star, just don't pick one way too far." Barriss said.
"Tatooine." Ahsoka said putting in the coordinates.
"Damnit hand I said not to far!" Barriss said.

That's all for today folks. I am done and chapter 5 is on its way. I have another story planned and just so everyone knows I think I am going to take a break from Remnants of the Sith. I will just post my story I'm thinking of soon and rotate the two stories on a regular bases. I think my new story will be fun for everyone.
