Encounters

"What's the plan Ahsoka?" Whispered Rex.

"I still thinking, hold on."

To say the group was in a dire situation was an understatement, guns pointing at them from both ends of the hallway with the only exit behind the troopers and of course the room behind them which oddly enough was one of the only rooms in the building with no windows. Poor building planning if you ask me.

"Jedi, throw down your lightsabers and come peacefully." Ordered senator Burtoni. "Senators, you are under arrest by order of the chancellor."

"We are not going anywhere." Protested Organa.

"Have it your way." Replied Burtoni. "Troopers, kill them."

"Stop!" Ordered the officer of the senate guard, as the clones raised their guns. "This is against the Coruscant Rights Act, all suspected traitors will be given a trial no matter what the case and above all the senators are under my protection."

"Fine then, captain. Shoot them all."

"What?" Exclaimed the senate captain as the clones raised their weapons to fire at the group.

"Barris, Rex. I have a plan."

"What is it Ahsoka?"

"Protect the senate guards." Yelled Ahsoka as she drew her lightsaber and charged at the clones.

"Shoot them all." Yelled senator Burtoni, as she hobbled away as fast as her legs could carry her.

The commando droids along with Rex, Cody, Waxer and Boil drew their pistols and began shooting wildly at the clones. The senate guards realising they had no choice in the matter shot at the clones helping the Jedi, their chancellor deemed to be traitors.

"No, no, no. please don't." Moaned the last survivor of the clone squad. "ARGGHH."

One of the commando droids, having no passion what so ever executed the clone at point blank range with a laser bolt through his forehead.

BOOOM

The building itself shook as dust fell around the corridor and the lights dimmed lightly.

"What the hell was that?" Asked Barris.

"Ahsoka? C...can you hear me?" Yelled Suu through the earpiece.

"What is it Suu?"

"We have been discovered… dozens of fighters everywhere…. Try to lose them and be back soon…."

The comm link went dead in static as the group groaned to one another.

"Well this just got a lot harder." Moaned Rex. "What's the plan now?"

"I truly have no idea." Responded Ahsoka.

"We may be some help to you." Said the captain of the senate guard. "There's a star port nearby with docked star destroyers, each ready for departure."

"Thank you." Replied Ahsoka. "Why are you telling us this?"

"The senate guards and I have been talking since the extermination of the Jedi temple. A prophecy has been passed down through generations of senate guards, it has been long foretold the chancellor would one day take power for himself. In order to do so, he must first eliminate the largest obstacle, the Jedi order. Without them the chancellor will kill everyone in the senate including the guards and take power. And that is why I ask for you to take us along."

"How many are there?" Asked Rex.

"There's 400 guards and a load of prisoners in the holding area awaiting trail by the senate. Also there are a handful of Jedi in the east wing in a hidden room, we couldn't just turn them in."

"400 guards?"

"Well, we had to almost triple the number since the attack by that bounty hunter."

"Alright then, Rex and Barris, go with the guards and release the prisoners. Waxer, Boil and Cody your with me. R2, up load some viruses into the main computer to make sure the chancellor doesn't find out we were here. Move."

"Yes sir." Said Rex, giving her a mock salute.

The group spilt up as the commando droids split into two groups and followed their masters.

(Several minutes later)

"Rex? See anything?" Asked Barris

The group had reached the holding area to find the doors guarded by a mixture of senate guards and clones.

"There's guards mixed in with clones, we can't just shoot the guards in the crossfire."

"Hold on." Replied the senate captain. "I have an idea."

The captain began typing away on his wrist computer all the while the others were getting more nervous by the second.

"Done."

BANG

The sound of laser fire echoed through the corridor followed by loud thuds, peering round the corridor Rex saw the guards standing over dead clones.

"What the hell?"

"These helmets come in handy from time to time." Commented the captain whilst tapping the side of his helmet.

"Come on, let's move." Ordered Barris.

Reaching the door the senate guards saluted the group.

"Guards, gather the others and meet in the foyer."

"Yes sir."

"You, get the door open."

The guard ran to the control as the others sprinted off to find the others, typing the password in the doors opened, revealing the prisoners, political and normal criminals.

"Everyone get to the foyer." Shouted Barris.

Sure enough the room started to empty as the prisoners ran past the group, until the last few Barris stopped.

"Oi let us through." Yelled a very familiar face.

"You lot are staying here, we had enough trouble tracking you down. Close the door."

The guard did as ordered as the prisoners looked a little more than annoyed.

"You will regret this."

"Yes, you will have your revenge David."

"That's Darren Shore."

"Goodbye."

"Dam you."

The door closed as Darren swore every swear word in the galaxy leaving a very smug looking Barris on the on the other side.

"Come on, let's hope Ahsoka has had the same luck as us."

(On the other side of the senate)

The last clone fell to the floor as Ahsoka sheathed her lightsaber, the hallway behind her was littered with clone soldiers. Cody, Boil and Waxer along with a senate guard acting as their guide. The commando droids just tagging along at the back, watching the groups back.

"Impressive Ahsoka." Commented Waxer.

"Thanks. Were is this secret room then?"

"Over here."

The guard walked to what the group assumed was a wall until he walked straight through it.

"Hologram, oldest trick in the book."

"Droids, stay here and watch the entrance."

"Roger roger."

Following the guard through the group came to see a rather battered looking steel door. The guard knocked several times until the door opened to reveal several people within the room.

"What is it?"

"Master Jedi, this is Ahsoka Tano. The chancellor is making his move, you must leave."

Looking past the master Jedi, Ahsoka could see at least 6 others, 3 being younglings around 6 or 7. The other 3 looked to be around padawan age of 11.

BOOOM

Dust once again fell from the ceiling as distant screams could be heard.

"The purge of the senate is beginning."

"Fine, padawans gather your things and sort out the younglings." Ordered the master Jedi. "So you are Ahsoka? Anakin told me about you, where is he anyway?"

"He turned to the dark side and became Palatine's apprentice."

"Great. So what is the plan?"

"There's a star port nearby, we are going to steal a star destroyer and make our way to Saleucami."

"Why Saleucami?"

"We have allies on that planet."

"Sir." Came the robotic voice of the commando droids. "We have a problem."

Exchanging worried looks with one another, the group with their new Jedi allies ran through the wall to find a horrible surprise waiting for them.

Clones. Lots of clones waiting for them with blasters pointing at them.

"Great, not again." Moaned Ahsoka.

Suddenly Ahsoka felt something in the force making her shake with fear, the other Jedi felt it as well as their faces turned pale.

"What's the matter."

Before Ahsoka could reply the very thing that the force had warned her off, entered the room. Deep large breathes echoed round as the sound of footsteps came closer. The clones parted revealing a man cloaked entirely in black with a strange looking helmet and cape, whilst walking like a zombie as if he wasn't used to his legs.

"Welcome Lord Vader." Said one of the clones.

The man in front stared directly at Ahsoka, a cold shiver ran up her spine as the man drew a red lightsaber.
