*Edit* minor errors were fixed.

Sorry it took so long to update this. I had a decided lack of inspiration for this story recently.

I do not own star wars or GI Joe Renegades, If I did, they would still be showing new episodes.

Ahsoka looked around the ship one last time. It would probably be a while before she could come back to it. She looked around, the boxes with the weapons and her clone armor were attached to the speeder that she had managed to buy while on the run. When the Joes had asked about the boxes, Ahsoka had told them they were things from friends. Thankfully, they didn't ask further than that. Ahsoka placed the Duffel bag over her shoulder along with the knapsack.

She started to walk out of the ship, then saw the data-pad on the table. The data-pad had all of the information about her part in the war effort. Ahsoka studied the data-pad. The Joes knew there was a war going in in the galactic republic now, but they didn't know she had been a part of it. She wanted to keep things like that, the Joes wouldn't like that she had been in a war.

Ahsoka stepped out of the ship, and smiled as she got on the speeder. She turned to Duke and said, "I'm ready if you are." Duke nodded at her, and Scarlet yelled, "Come on grunts, it's time to move." Duke stood up and said, "You heard her, it's time to move out." The rest of the Joes got up from where the were sitting, and got into the coyote except for Snake Eyes who got on his motorcycle. Scarlet sighed, and followed Duke inside the coyote.

Ahsoka smiled, Scarlet tried to be the leader, but the others still followed Duke. Rex would be laughing his shebs off for sure at that.

Duke sat in his seat stiffly. It had been a week since Ahsoka had been found, and he was disappointed by the amount of information he had about her. They knew that she had served as a Jedi, a peace-keeper and they also knew that there had been a war going on. They also found out that Ahsoka had know the person who framed her.

But they didn't know what she did do as a peace-keeper. Duke suspected it had something to do with the war, but Ahsoka would change the subject when he would mention it. Also, Duke wondered how close she had been to the person who had framed her. He knew they must have been at least acquaintances based on the pained look Ahsoka got when she spoke of the incident.

Duke watched Scarlet work at something. Ever since they had found the data-pad, they had been curios. Ahsoka had said they contained information about the war, but nothing else. Therefore, Scarlet had decided that she would decode it while the child slept.

Duke frowned and whispered, "You shouldn't do that you know. If she wanted to tell us, she would have. We shouldn't snoop where were not allowed." Scarlet continued to work on the data-pad as she called, "We hardly anything about her Duke. How do we know that we can trust her if we don't know who she is?"

Duke frowned and crossed his arms. He liked the girl. Sure she was impulsive, she nearly ate an ant when Tunnel Rat told her to. But she was a good kid. He sighed and rubbed his head as he lay down to sleep. Duke wanted to make Scarlet stop. She had been acting strange ever since Ahsoka came. But he did not try again. Truthfully, Duke wanted to know about what was on the data pad, but he wanted to here what was on it from Ahsoka. He wanted her to tell him of her own free will.

Scarlet worked hard at the data pad. she rubbed her eyes and groaned in frustration. The language the data-pad was written in was difficult to translate. Scarlet felt Snake Eyes hand on her shoulder, and looked up as he asked in his wordless way, "Is it necessary for you to do this?" Scarlet sighed as she spoke, "Yes, it is. Ahsoka is hiding something important. I need to know what it is."

Snake Eyes sat next to Scarlet, and pulled the data-pad between them. Scarlet smiled, he didn't need to say a word, it was obvious he was helping her. They worked steadily on the translation. Eventually, Scarlet leaned back and smiled in satisfaction as the translation finished. She looked at the first entry that she found and heg smile slipped when she read it. It was a battle report. One of the notable things was how the Padawan Commander Tano essentially saved a rescue mission from falling to ruin.

She read several more, and felt Snake Eyes hand tighten on her shoulder. Many of them mentioned a Commander Tano. Commander Ahsoka Tano to be precise. Scarlet sighed, she knew something had been hidden, but she did not realize this was what it was. Scarlet read on, and stiffened when she read a familiar name. Scarlet saw Snake Eyes hand form a fist. After everything they went through ... Scarlet put her head in her arms, and closed her eyes. Ahsoka would have a lot to explain when she woke up.

Duke groaned, and stretched. His back popped several times and he groaned again. He hated sleeping while sitting, he always woke up stiff when he did. Duke stood and stretched his complaining muscles. He gritted his teeth as he heard several more popping noises. He glanced at Ahsoka as she and stretched as she stood. Duke grinned, some how the kid reminded him of a cat when she did that.

Duke tossed her an apple, and she caught it with her eyes closed. As she took a bite, Duke chuckled. He had come to think of Ahsoka as a little sister of sorts. The others walked in, and they were eating their morning bowl of ... breakfast, when Scarlet came in with the data-pad in hand. Tunnel Rat, Roadblock, and Ripcord scooted back. They did not want to be close to Scarlet at the moment.

Ahsoka looked at Scarlet and asked cautiously, "What are you doing with that?" Scarlet lips thinned, I was looking at it, Ahsoka." Scarlet's eyes darkened as Ahsoka stiffened. Scarlet continued, "But that isn't quite right isn't it? That would be Commander Ahsoka Tano of the Grand Republic Army."

Duke choked, and looked at Ahsoka in alarm. Ahsoka had been in a war? She had lead men into battle? She had fought, been shot at, maybe she had been injured? Ahsoka's shoulders slumped as she whispered, "That would be former commander. I lost my rank and privilege when I was expelled from the order. That's the reason I was in the war. The Jedi served as generals, and the Padawans as commanders. I had no choice but to lead men to war."

Duke sighed, children shouldn't have to go to war, to lead men in war. Scarlet opened her mouth, "And that Barriss girl? I'm disgusted that she betrayed you like that. She was your friend. And she owed you her life after what happened with those brain worm things." Duke looked at Ahsoka for an explanation and she spoke, "After a battle, some mind controlling worms managed to get on board the ship we were on. They managed to infect most of the crew, including my good friend Barris. I ruptured the coolant tank, because I had been told that cold killed the worms. Then, Barriss attacked, and she begged me to kill her, but I didn't. I managed to destroy the worm without killing her."

Duke pursed his lips, and felt himself grow angry, how could that girl betray her like that? Ahsoka sighed, "Some of my best friends were soldiers. Rex, Fives, Hevy, Cody, and Echo. Those boxes I have, the ships, and my bags, they were all from those guys. They gave me to them if I ever needed them."

Ahsoka took them out side and showed them the things. There was weapons, medicine, supplies. One of the boxes held a wide assortment of guns, and the other had armor. Duke pursed his lips, there was no way he would let Ahsoka fight. They would somehow contact his parents, and have her stay with them. Ahsoka deserved a peaceful life after all she had been through.

Then a shot flew by, and Duke turned to see Bio Vipers attacking. They would have to deal with what to do with Ahsoka later. Right now, the Joes had to fight.

Sorry, cliffhanger. This will probably be a short story, but I am not sure.
