The Ruins of Hope
In The Ghost….
"So what now?" Sabine asked Ahsoka who was thinking on what to do next
"Well, we can't resume our normal resistance operations due to the Soviets enforcing their regimes on the outer rim planets, sending rebel groups there could be dangerous with the mass amount of storm troopers, sending rebel groups to the core planets would be suicide" Ahsoka stated
"So what do think we should do?" Hera asked
"One planet however has been weakened by your recent activities and the local population located on the southern sector is supporting our cause" Aksoka said as she activated a holo table
It then displayed the Planet of Lothal, "Lothal" Ahsoka said
"Your new directives are to help reinforce the rebel divisions that are poised to invade the capital" Ahsoka said as she pointed to an area located outside of the Capital
"That will be all, you are dismissed" Ahsoka said
" Ah, Finally. Some shut eye" Zeb said as he walked out of the Ghost's main room
Sabine, Ezra and Chopper followed after him,
"Except you two, I need to have a word you" Ahsoka said as she stopped Kanan and Hera
"Is there something wrong?" Hera asked
"No, I just need you to stop by Corusant," Ahsoka said
"What?! The command centre of the Soviets?! Are you mad?!" Ahsoka exclaimed
"Look I just need you to stop by there, now I would like to have a word in private with Kanan" Ahsoka said
"Okay….." Hera said still can't believing that they were going to stop by Corusant
"Why are we going to Corusant? There's nothing there except for Soviets, Soviets and Soviets " Kanan said
"There is one place, the remains of the great Jedi temple located there" Ahsoka said
"What are you crazy?! We can't go there, The Soviet armies will over run us before we can even get anywhere near that place" Kanan argued
"Not this time, right now most of the soviet armies have been sent to the outer rim planets, wearing the armies there thin, the forces have also been focused on securing this area the command tower, leaving the temple unguarded, we'll sneak in and out without the Soviets even knowing" Ahsoka said
"I don't know sounds kind of risky" Kanan said
"We need it for Ezra" Ahsoka said
"I know but is barging into the stronghold of the Soviet Empire worth the risk?" Kanan asked
"We have to, there's no other way we can train Ezra without the help of a lightsabre, and the only way we can make one, is by acquiring a lightsabre crystal located in the Jedi Temple Vaults" Ahsoka said
"I hope you're right about this" Kanan said
"We have no other choice" Ahsoka said
Just as they were about to leave the room , Ezra walked in. "What's going on?" he asked
"Ah, Ezra. Take a seat, we need to talk." Ahsoka said
Time Skip!
"Alright, we have arrived, are you sure you want to this?" Hera asked
"Yes, it's for Ezra. If we don't try at least, there can never be a chance to fight the empire" Ahsoka said
"I understand what you have to do, Ezra and Kanan are in the Phantom awaiting you" Hera said
"Alright, Head back to Lothal, prepare the divisions to invade the Capital" Ahsoka said
"Alright," Hera said
"May The Force be with you" Ahsoka said before she walked out of the cockpit
In The Phantom
"so where are we heading?" Ezra asked as Ahsoka just walked into the phantom
"To a place where hope last stood up against the doom and gloom of the Soviets" Ahsoka said as she shut the Phantom door
"And where is that exactly?" Ezra asked
"The ancient Jedi Temple of Corusant" Ahsoka said as the Phantom detached from the ghost and began heading towards the planet of Corusant
"Corusant?! Are you crazy?! There are Soviets are crawling all over the place!" Ezra exclaimed
"Not exactly, most of the Soviet Forces have left the area to secure their presence over the outer rim planets, and they believed that we'd never even bother to try to attack one of the core planets, let alone the capital" Ahsoka said as she started her approach to the planetary surface
"I've got a bad feeling about this…." Ezra said
"Attention unknown aircraft, you are approaching Soviet airspace, turn around now." A voice said over the Phantom's comm link
"We come in peace, we are low on fuel and Corusant is the only available planet that is in our reach," Ahsoka said
"Very well, please transmit your emergency code clearance and Ship serial number" The voice said
"Transmitting now," Ahsoka said
"What are you doing? We can't transmit the Phantom serial code, they've proably still recognized it from our late missions" Kanan said
"Trust me, they won't" Ahsoka said
"I'm Sorry but I believe that…..What?...Yes…..Okay….You have been cleared to land, please proceed towards landing bay thirteen" The voice said
"Understood," Ahsoka said as she began to descend into the planet's atmosphere
"Hmmm…..isn't bay thirteen the one just by the Jedi temple?" Kanan asked
"Yes, it is….odd, maybe it's just a coincidence" Ahsoka said
"Hey, look a welcoming party" Ezra said as he pointed towards the squad of storm troopers who were by the hangar bay
"Well, good to know our presence is welcomed" Kanan said
"Perhaps too welcomed, the troops couldn't have just got here in time when we were up above" Ahsoka said
"Nah, It's just a coincidence" Ahsoka said and shrugged it off as the Phantom landed on the landing bay
"Open Up!" A storm trooper said as he banged on the Phantom's door
"Ready?" Ahsoka asked
"Definitely" Kanan said as he got ready to do a force push
"NOW!" Ahsoka yelled as she swung the Phantom's door open and Kanan force pushed all the storm troopers off their feet
"Argh!" All the storm troopers exclaimed, most of them quickly got up and started blasting at them
Ahsoka ignited her lightsabers and started slicing the stormtroopers
Kanan ignited his and started doing the same,
Ugh, Oh no you don't" A storm trooper said as he regained consciousness and pointed blaster at Ahsoka who was facing him backwards
"Oh no you don't!" Ezra said as he fired his ion slingshot and knocked him out
Soon enough, Ahsoka and Kanan had finished killing the storm troopers,
"Well that was some friendly welcome party" Kanan said
"Well to be fair, we started it first" Ahsoka said
"Now come on, let's head to the vault before more bucket heads show up" Ahsoka said as she began walking towards the ruins of The Jedi Temple
