Ahsoka would need to wait until her ship was repaired before embarking anywhere else. Luke, though due back to the Redemption to complete Ahsoka's mission, stayed a bit before returning. He found the time with Ahsoka enlightening, and the fact that she was the one person who understood and could share things about his encounter with Vader. Ahsoka had a grasp on the Force as well, and it helped Luke in his own personal journey, and returning to his own personal training and self education.

The lifeforms on Galatia gave a different environment as well than the ship had, or even Dagobah, and Ahsoka showed Luke a few of her own personal trademark techniques. Luke was starting to feel better about his abilities, and was gaining more confidence. Just the fact he was willing to embrace his abilities at all, was a step in the right direction. So soon after returning from Cloud City, he was beginning to lose the will to continue with his mental state having been what it was. They spent the hours together on various exercises, meditations and just talking, until Luke had to depart alone in his X-Wing.

After Luke left, Ahsoka still had some work that needed doing on her ship. Lux suggested leaving it to some of the team on Galatia, and asked her to accompany him on his own business in another system, Cerea. Part of his financial interests involved farming there, and he kept a home there as well. Since the ship would take a few more days, Ahsoka took Lux up on the offer to visit with her old friend. Ahsoka was surprised that his home on Cerea was very simple, though lovely, compared to the warehouse apartments on Galatia.

"Life in general is simple here, unless you are in one of the cities.", Lux noted. "I like the quiet occasionally. The native Cereans tend to love nature, and little to no technology, though the cities here are the extreme opposite."

Lux suggested taking a walk. It made Ahsoka remember Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, as she encountered many Cerean women in the nearby village. It now made sense why he was allowed to have so many wives. It was almost entirely a female society, with few native men, though there were a number of off worlders like Lux and herself as well. Small shops, services and cafes dotted the street. They found a cafe that Lux swore had some of the best local cuisine, and the older Cerean woman who owned it immediately had come out and visit with Lux and wondered why she hadn't seen much of him lately. He laughed and made some excuse. Ahsoka had never felt so comfortable in a long time. Just going somewhere with a friend and not worrying, was almost unsettling, but it felt good. They both walked to the river, it was beautiful, and they seemed to enjoy each other's company very much.

"The water looks so peaceful. Does anyone swim here?" Ahsoka asked.

"It does look beautiful. Unfortunately, no, swimming would not be the best idea. There are dangerous creatures in these waters. One of the reasons this planet hasn't been considered for being a vacation planet, I imagine." Lux replied.

They walked back, and as they walked, Cereans, many of them women and children, rode past them on large birds and nodded. Although, Lux was an off-worlder, they seemed to be content with his being there. She soon learned the reason why. Lux Bonteri was the benefactor of the local preserve, which was a reclaimed natural habitat that had previously been the victim of off-worlder exploitation. It warmed Ahsoka's heart to see that Lux Bonteri always kept his idealism.

After a day or two of enjoying the countryside, Lux informed Ahsoka that they needed to fly to a different part of the planet to one of the cities. They flew into a docking bay in a large building, which resembled a mountain, and Ahsoka soon learned that the mountain was actually an indoor city, which reminded her a bit of Coruscant, only smaller. Lux hailed a driver to take them to a casino. The city was very dark and dirty and looked like more like the lower levels of Coruscant rather than the upper more posh levels she remembered so well. They walked through the Casino to a lounge area, Lux requested that Ahsoka wait at a table and that she was welcome to order anything she liked, just mention his name, and it would be taken care of, and then Lux left with several humans and non humans to another room. She ordered some food, and waited. As she sat, she sensed something, and it drew her to walk in the adjoining room. A distant conversation. She stealthily made her way along the dark wall, and heard the exchange of coins.

"The bounty on the wookiee is considerable, but what we really need is this fellow. It's almost guaranteed that this man will come looking for his friend. He's who we really need. Capture him, preferably alive, but however you can will make no matter to my benefactor." Said someone with a Coruscant accent. "This comes from the highest level. He does not like to be disappointed. The man we hired previously has gone missing, so understand this is no easy undertaking."

Ahsoka gasped. They must mean Luke and probably the fake former Imperial convert. She needed to contact Luke right away. As she moved back to her table, Lux came rushing out, pulling her up and pushing her to go."We have to move, Go!"

As they ran, they were being chased by a group of armed Nikto men. Lux pulled out his blaster, and started to fire as the Niktos fired back. Ahsoka diverted the blasts with the force. As they ran out into the alleyway, they grabbed a speeder and headed to the docking bay. The Nikto men followed, still firing. Ahsoka took control of the speeder. "Trust me.", she said, as she moved her way through pillars and vehicles. The Niktos followed them, blasters flying, but Ahsoka was able to dodge the blasts and successfully lose them after several twists and turns. Pushing the following speeders with the Force on the brief instances she was able to look back.

"I think we lost them, or at least I hope we did." Lux said, as they arrived at the docking bay, out of breath and a bit relieved.

Quickly they got into the ship, running to the cockpit, Ahsoka took control of the ship. "I guess the vacation is over." She said with a bit of anger.

"I must apologize, my dear friend, I ran into a bit of trouble, nothing I can not handle, but apparently, a deal I made has gone sour.", Lux said calmly, as if this sort of thing happened all the time.

"You think? Explain later. I need to contact Luke, I overheard something while you were making your 'sour deal' that he needs to know. Unfortunately, I have no way to communicate with him on your ship." Ahsoka groaned.

"Head back to Galatia, hopefully we can make it back in time for you to get your message to him. In the meantime, I need to contact my wife.", Lux stated in a very matter of fact manner.

'Wife, of course he has a wife, he has a daughter', Ahsoka thought. It just seemed that in all this time they had been spending together that he might have mentioned her maybe once or twice. Her heart sunk a bit. It wasn't like anything was going to happen between the two of them, but that old flame she always held for him never seemed to go away. It wasn't like their time together was of a romantic nature, and he never led her to believe that it would necessarily go that way. Still, Ahsoka felt some mixed emotions about the whole thing, and wondered what his wife would think about him bringing her to his private retreat on Cerea. She gave him some privacy as she pondered over the events of the day, the bounty hunters and the encounter with the Niktos. Just what exactly was Lux involved with?

They arrived back at Galatia, and though Ahsoka was unable to contact Luke, she was able to contact General Cracken on the safe channel who assured her that he would take her overheard conversation very seriously. She wasn't sure she should bring up the chase with the Niktos, so she didn't. She was relieved to find her ship ready, as she thought that spending anymore time with Lux Bonteri would not exactly be a good idea, as she enjoyed spending time with him a bit too much, and it tended to cloud her judgement. Not to mention that she had enough of her own entanglements being a spy with the Rebel Alliance to involve herself in any of Lux's own dubious involvements, even if they were old friends. She patted the console of her ship, and left Galatia. After making the jump, she meditated to the hum of the engines in space. She wasn't sure where she was going to be headed to, as after the jump, she was to contact the Alliance for her coordinates. When she came out of her meditation, after hearing the alarm telling her that she would soon come out of hyperspace, she put in new coordinates that had come to her during her meditation. Not knowing where she was going exactly, it came to her, she was going to Dagobah, and she would soon be face to face with Master Yoda. Master Yoda whose wisdom often came to mind in the most helpful ways through the years. She felt a feeling of deep calm and peace and no reluctance or conflict this time.

As she approached Dagobah, the ship seemed to be magnetically drawn to it, as if she wasn't flying it at all, and it was being flown by someone else. She reached deep into the Force and felt at one with the Life Force exuding from the planet. 'This is a very powerful place', she told herself as she descended into it's atmosphere. She was able to land on the swampy, dark, jungle planet with little difficulty and felt life energy from the moment she landed. She took nothing with her as she left the ship, walking in a direction that she was not dictating herself, but going as if the Force was willing it. She noticed a small dwelling in the distance, and as she got closer, she noticed a very familiar figure standing, with his hand extended and his eyes closed. As she walked closer, Yoda's eyes opened. He spoke. "Padawan, Ahsoka, at last come you have."

Ahsoka nodded with respect. "Master Yoda.", she took his hand.

He was frail, weak, and yet, still strong. He beckoned her to follow him into his small home saying nothing. Nothing needed to be said. Ahsoka found Yoda's home very tiny and she had to sit to actually be comfortable in it, however, it was still very cozy. She couldn't believe that he had been living here since the end of the Clone Wars. "Ahsoka. So much I have thought of you. Watched you, I have."

"I know, Master. I believe you have come to me once or twice. Guiding me, yet, here you are. Alive.", Ahsoka said.

"Much I have learned, much I have unlearned."

"Master Yoda, you knew? You knew before, what would happen? To the Jedi?", Ahsoka asked.

"Sensed, I did, yet, blind I was."

"It was you who sent us to Malachor?"

"Necessary it was.", Yoda said as he hobbled to his bed to rest. "Young Skywalker. Taken to him you have. Helped him you have. Left us he should not have. Ready he was not."

"He may not be the same person he was when he left you, Master. He had no one to talk to, but it seemed that he could talk to me, and knew I would understand. He has helped me as well, I learned a few things about myself. I have come to some peace." Ahsoka replied.

"Watched you I have, troubled you have been, test after test endured have you. Endured them well you have. Had you finished your training, might not have you been able to survive so well." Yoda laughed and took her hand, "Jedi you are not, but wise you are still. Guided by the Force you are still. Learned much from Ahsoka I have."

"But Master, so many times I felt I had failed you. You have guided me by your wisdom when I would reflect on it more times than I could count."

"Ahsoka, I am so proud of you." Ahsoka heard coming from somewhere she could not see, loud and clear. It was the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

"Master Kenobi?" Ahsoka asked, barely believing it.

He then appeared as a ghost. "Yes, and I am sure you have many questions. Some we can answer, others we cannot, but I am sure you will understand."

"I do understand, Master. What I don't understand is how you have been able to appear and talk. Shouldn't you have become one with the Force? As part of a greater understanding?" Ahsoka asked.

"Ahsoka, another time, we will both come to you, now is not the time for that. Just know that I am able to talk to you now, and leave it at that." Obi-Wan replied, with Ahsoka nodding, accepting whatever it was that made this possible, the Force was guiding her to trust it.

"Master, I need to ask this, did you know what happened to Anakin? What he became?"

"Indeed, from the very beginning." Obi-Wan's ghost continued, "I felt your confrontation with him in the Force. I'm sorry that you found out that way. It was difficult for me as well. You must know, that I felt myself in part to blame for many years."

"Were you watching Luke? Luke is his son? Truly?"Ahsoka asked.

"Figured that out you did?" Yoda replied closing his eyes.

"Is his mother Senator Amidala?"

"His mother she is. Protected him Obi-Wan did. Watched over him Obi-Wan did."

"I worked with Bail Organa for many years, did he know and not tell me that you both were alive?"

"Senator Organa helped Yoda and myself escape, and aided Padmé. The Emperor is very dangerous, and I'm afraid, there is more. My dear, Ahsoka, you must realize that many things have had to be kept secret. Senator Organa was protecting something very important." Obi-Wan explained.

"Luke?"

"And another, safely kept anonymous. You need to know that Luke himself is not aware of much of this, for his own safety, and also for the safety of this other individual. Neither the Emperor or Vader must be made aware. Did you know of Anakin's and Padmé's relationship? I may have suspected at the time, but refused to confront it, or see it. I made a mistake. I made so many mistakes. It's of my belief that the Force will make it right, and that Luke is our hope."

"Mistakes both we have made." Yoda said sadly.

"This is not why we have asked you to come to us, Ahsoka. Yoda does not have much time. It is important for Luke to return, though Yoda would still be able to communicate with him, it may be a set back in his training if Yoda has left the physical realm before Luke returns. You must encourage him to return, but you too must keep this meeting secret, and all that has transpired."

"I understand, Masters. I did know of their relationship. It was often that Senator Organa would ask me questions, but he never told me these things, however, I know now that perhaps he wanted to know what I knew, or was feeling me out about them. I, however, suspect that Senator Mothma may suspect something, as she has said a few things to make me believe that she is aware of some things, or she herself suspected things, about Luke, or Anakin, and possibly Master Obi-Wan. I believe it was to protect secrets as well. Masters, I believe Darth Vader is aware of Luke's existence." Ahsoka spoke.

"All the more reason to protect these secrets, and if you realize this or not, the fact you did not know about Luke or myself or of Yoda, did protect those secrets when you had your own confrontation, did it not?"

"Yes, I understand., Master Kenobi."

"Difference now it makes not. Confront Vader, young Skywalker will." Yoda stated. "Prepared he will be."

"In partial thanks to you. In the end though, it is amusing to think that it was Anakin himself we have to thank for giving us our hope in the first place. I'm afraid the Emperor had been targeting Anakin for some time, and we never realized it. I know you must know that the Emperor himself is a Sith Lord. By the time we realized it, it was much too late."

"Yes, that I did know, though long after the rise of the Empire. Luke seems very determined right now to rescue his friend, he said he would promise to return after he had done that."Ahsoka noted.

"Let us hope he succeeds and quickly."

Yoda prepared Ahsoka some rootleaf tea, and after eating, she rested. After resting, they both meditated together and a vision came to Ahsoka, of Tatooine, and the person in the vision was the Twi'lek rebel agent with a knife, she was fighting an attacker. Yoda then spoke, "Your vision I watched. Know who the Twi'lek was fighting you do. Do you not?"

"I couldn't see who she was fending off, Master."

"And just why was that? Think, know you do."

Ahsoka began to realize that it was she who was attacking the Twi'lek, but why? "Is this the future, Master."

"Difficult to see. Go you must."

Ahsoka shook her head and realized her time with Master Yoda had come to an end. She knew she would never see him again, at least not as he is now. She took his hand and held it and returned to her ship. She thought about everything that Yoda and Obi-Wan had said to her, some gave her understanding, others more questions, but she knew she would have to help Luke, and that he was in danger. The Twi'lek agent may be a key.
