Ahsoka cursed under her breath. Anakin freaking Skywalker just had to mess things up, as usual. She looked out the window and saw the Republic stardestroyer send out a small shuttle that no doubt carried at least three clones and maybe, if she was 'lucky', a Jedi.

"You!" She whirred around and shot at him with her blaster, her lightsaber in her other hand. He easily deflected it to one of the walls in the ship.

Ahsoka reached for the entity she had ignored for years and utilized it, grabbing Anakin's lightsaber from his hand and pulling it to herself. Then she used the force to pin him to the wall, putting light pressure around his neck to hinder his breathing, but she made sure to keep him alive.

"You loathsome, evil little cockroach! I don't care how much the Separaists will pay, I'm throwing you out the airlock! I can't trust that babbling bumbling band of baboons either, so I will throw you out myself!"

Somehow, while being Force-choked non-fatally, Anakin still managed to laugh, "What about the bridge? Surely you can't leave the cockpit unattended either. Especially if the Republic decides to open fire."

"Normally I wouldn't, but this is a 'special' occasion. It's not every day you get to throw your enemy out the airlock."

Anakin had to play his last card, she was breaking, and he would find out why she left the Order. Well, he knew the Jedi weren't perfect, but she was so young, surely she should not have to make life-changing decisions at an age so young,

"You do realize that the Republic fleet is right there, right? If they see someone floating out in space, they will most likely go to identify them, in which I'll be rescued anyway."

The ship gave a little jolt, Ahsoka's wrist comm crackled to life, "Tano, there is a Republic shuttle in the hangar, said they had the right to investigate due to a suspicion that we were holding prisoners from the Republic. What do we do?"

"Distract them you idiot! Move the prisoners away from the cells into a secure area! Don't act like you have a secret to keep!" Ahsoka yelled into the comm.

Anakin watched, amused. Then he grabbed his lightsaber from her belt while she was distracted. "You know, I was really hoping that it wouldn't have to come down to this."

Ahsoka grabbed her lightsaber, but not before Anakin force-pushed her into the wall, leaving a slight dent and her knocked out. He used a strong sleep-suggestion so she would stay that way for a little while. He ran over to the comm on the dashboard and activated it, contacting the Republic fleet.

"Republic fleet, this is General Skywalker. You might want to send more troops to take down these pirates."

The comm crackled with a response and came the voice of General Kenobi, "Pirates Anakin, pirates, really? I'm sending more troops to the ship in a moment, they should be arriving shortly. And Anakin? Do try to keep the ship intact, we might be able to slice into Separaist plans."

"Yes master.

"I also have a prisoner with me, I believe she can be redeemed."

"Very well."

The connection was cut. Ahsoka's comm beeped.

"Tano, where are you?! They're not believing us! More of the clones have arrived and they - "

Anakin pressed the button to respond, "Sorry, no 'Tano' here. I apologize for the inconvenience. Now, in the name of the Galactic Republic, you are under arrest. Surrender."

"The last sound from the comm was a 'thud', that indicated that he had hit the ground. The comm was picked up by another.

"General Skywalker?! We're glad we finally found you."

"Glad to hear you too Cody. I'm not injured. Obi-Wan's sending another shuttle, so I'll meet you on the Negotiator. Rex and the other should be in the detention area. They didn't look injured when I last saw them, but bring a medic with you in case."

"Sir, yes, sir!"

Anakin snapped a pair of force-binders on to Ahsoka, as much as it pained him to do so. He then hauled her to her feet, her hands behind her back, and pulled Ahsoka along with him.

A Republic shuttle was already waiting for him in the pirates' hangar bay.

"General Skywalker," a clone greeted him, "it's good to have you back."

"It's good to be back." Anakin said in return.

The shuttle took off and landed in the Negotiators' hangar. Obi-Wan was waiting for him.

"Like I said before, you are a master, at getting caught. Speaking of which, where was Hondo?" Obi-Wan asked, purposely ignoring the unconscious togruta being held up by his former padawan.

"Hondo and his pirate gang probably took an escape while they could, now that I think about it, one of the escape pods was missing. Probably went to Florrum."

"Well we don't have time to chase down rogue pirates. I already sent a message to the Council informing them that we found you. The press had a field day when they discovered you were missing in action, not that it was anything new. What are you going to do about her?" Obi-Wan said, gesturing to Ahsoka.

Anakin sighed before responding, "I'll have to take her down to the holding cells, but master, there is good in her, I just need time to reach it. Please."

Obi-Wan groaned, "I shall bargain with the council for a meditative leave. They are desperate to have you back on the front lines."

AN: Finished! Sorry it took so long. I wrote most of it during a vacation, and the internet wasn't working. I did try my best to get it out as soon as possible though. Although I don't think this is the best chapter I've written. Sorry if you think the characters are out of character. Leave a comment for me to improve!

Who's ready to go back to school? Not me! I don't want my vacation to end! School means less time to write (although technically I could do that in class without the teacher noticing), but if everything goes as planned, I should have another chapter out by September or sooner.

Adios amigos!
