As Ahsoka started to run for the ship, Lux grabbed her arm, "Wait, where are they?"
"Lux this is no time to stop and have a chat, we need to go now!" Ahsoka said, yanking her arm free. She started to jog over to the ship, but suddenly stopped. She turned to face Lux and lowered her voice, "Actually, Lux, just stay there for a minute."
"Why?" Lux replied in the same hushed tone.
"Just trust me." She took her lightsabers off her belt, clutching them tightly. Something was definitely wrong. She stood in front of the entrance of the ship, ignited her lightsabers and entered the ship.
… … … … … …
Lux's heart was racing. What was going on? He glanced around; he couldn't see anyone. He couldn't see or hear the Deathwatch, so where were they? Ahsoka said she could sense danger, so something must be wrong. He watched as Ahsoka made her way into the ship, her lightsabers glowing.
He stood there, anxiously waiting for Ahsoka to come out. When she'd been gone for over five minutes, Lux began to get very worried. She was probably just checking the ship. He hoped that nothing had happened to her. Surely she shouldn't be taking that long to check the ship?
He couldn't lose her. She was pretty much the only person he had left. Both his parents were dead. He didn't have any other family; well, none that he knew of.
Ahsoka was just…amazing. She was strong, beautiful, brave, and just overall amazing. He'd never felt this much emotion towards one person before.
He didn't like to admit it, but he did have feelings for her…and he knew (well, part of him knew, the other part hoped) that she liked him too… But she must like him, too, he thought. They had shared a kiss. A kiss that wasn't fake. A real kiss.
However, liking her hurt. He knew that they could never be together. She was from the Republic, and he was Separatist. But then Lux realised that he was no longer a Separatist anyway, plus, they had become friends anyway.
But she was a Jedi.
She was forbidden to form attachments. She wasn't allowed to love. Loving someone that can't love you back hurts.
It must be hard for her, too. Lux thought. He couldn't even imagine what it'd be like to not be allowed to get attached.
He couldn't take it anymore. Ahsoka was taking too long. He took a deep breath, and then stalked up the ship, being as quiet as possible. He kind of felt like a ninja, or some sort of assassin or hunter. He had his fists raised in case he needed to defend himself.
Ahsoka was right, it was too quiet.
He hesitated before whispering, "Ahsoka…?" When he didn't hear a reply, he tried again, this time saying it a little louder.
Suddenly, he heard a large bang, and then another that followed immediately after. His body froze and he held his breath. It was coming from the room ahead. The room where he had a pulled a gun out at Ahsoka. It was quite strange seeing Ahsoka holding a gun; she was a Jedi, therefore her weapons were lightsabers.
After another bang, he heard a clattering noise.
He launched forward and slammed his hand down on the button that opened the door. After the door slid open, he stepped in, his fists raised. He saw Ahsoka on the floor, wrestling with a Mandalorian on the floor. Her knuckles were bleeding and she had small gash on her left montral. Lux knew that Togruta's headtails were very sensitive, so he knew she was in a lot of pain.
He went forward to help the Padawan, but as he stepped forward he felt an arm wrap around his neck and something cold and metallic against his neck. He saw a glimpse of red hair; Bo-Katan. "Stop, or I kill your little boyfriend." She said, grinning evilly and pressing the knife into his neck. Lux tried his best to escape, but Bo-Katan had a strong grip on him.
Ahsoka stopped struggling, and the Mandalorian she had been fighting climbed on top of her and delivered a strong punch to the face. His fist connected with her cheek, and her head was knocked swiftly to the left. Lux winced; now that had looked painful.
The Mandalorian got off her, grabbed her by her neck and threw her towards the wall. She smacked into it and fell to the floor with a thud. She was about to get up, but she was knocked back down to the floor with a strong kick in the ribs. Lux tried to help her, but every time he struggled, Bo-Katan pressed the knife deeper into the soft flesh of his neck. If she put any more pressure on it it would break the skin.
The male Mandalorian threw her against the wall several more times before picking up Ahsoka's head and throwing it down to the floor. That had her clutching her face and head in agony. Her forehead was bleeding and she was spitting out blood every few seconds. She was about to be hit again, but Lux couldn't stand to see her in pain for even another second. "Stop! Don't' hurt her!"
… … … … … … … …
Ahsoka used her remaining energy to turn her head and face Lux. Her eyes were drooping, and she could feel blood on her face. Her face ached badly. The Mandalorian who had attacked her stood and walked over to Lux. She watched as he punched Lux in the stomach. The blow must have been more powerful than it looked because Lux dropped to his knees, clutching his stomach. Their eyes met, and Ahsoka got a sudden impulse. She dragged herself up off the floor and took Bo-Katan down to the floor, knocking the knife out of her hand.
Lux was knocked back when Ahsoka dived for Bo-Katan. As soon as he hit the floor the male Mandalorian was on top of him, delivering punches to his torso. While protecting his face with one hand, he used his other to reach for the blaster that lay near his head. That must have been the clattering sound he heard. He grabbed it and aimed it at his attacker. Just as he was about to shoot, Ahsoka pushed him off Lux and helped him up. She kicked Bo-Katan away from her, picked up her fallen lightsabers and ran towards to exit of the ship.
Lux ran out of the ship, wiping a small trickle of blood from his mouth. He didn't stop running until he just reached the forest. He hid behind a tree.
He frowned when he saw Ahsoka run out the exit – Bo-Katan and her friend close behind her, though. Ahsoka turned left and jumped onto the top of the ship, igniting her lightsabers on the way. She stood on the roof of the ship, crouched slightly, ready for battle.
Bo-Katan ordered the other Mando to back into the ship. She used her jetpack to get to the top of the ship.
… … … …. … … … …
"Come on then, skinny, show me what you've got." She raised her wrist blaster and shot widely at the Padawan.
Ahsoka deflected the first few shots, but she could feel her energy draining dramatically. It was hard to wield two lightsabers at the same time, and her exhaustion for her beating didn't make anything any easier. Ahsoka was too busy deflecting the shots; she didn't notice the sound of a jetpack behind her. She deflected one last bolt, which she aimed perfectly. The shot deflected off her lightsaber and straight into Bo-Katan's wrist blaster, destroying it. "You bitch!" She cursed.
Suddenly, the ship jolted, knocking both of them off their feet. As they tumbled to the ground, the ship lifted off the ground. That other Mandalorian was driving the ship.
Ahsoka stood up and ignited her lightsabers again. She was about to attack when she heard Lux yell up to her.
"Ahsoka, look out!" He was pointing into the sky, though; it was kind of hard to see because of the snow that fell.
Ahsoka turned around to see what Lux was pointing at. She looked up into the snowy skies. She couldn't see anything. Then she heard footsteps behind her, and the sound of a lightsaber igniting. Though, it wasn't a lightsaber.
Ahsoka turned again and held her lightsabers in a defensive position.
Pre Vizsla stood slightly in front of Bo-Katan, gripping his darksaber and glaring at Ahsoka.
"I see you've got a new jetpack. Guess you needed it, considering that I destroyed you're old one." Ahsoka taunted.
"You won't be leaving this planet ever again, Jedi." Vizsla snarled. He charged forward, raising his lightsaber, swiping at Ahsoka's head.
The Togruta ducked and clashed her lightsaber against the darksaber. As they duelled, they got higher and higher into the air. Ahsoka used just one second to glance down at the ground; she could only just see Lux.
It seemed so much colder up here. And the colder it was, the harder it was to defend and attack. She was blocking Vizsla's strikes and kicking Bo-Katan away, and she getting overwhelmed.
After elbowing Bo-Katan in the face – leaving her with a nasty nose bleed – she caught Vizsla's lightsaber in between her lightsaber and shoto, knocking the darksaber out of his hands and off the ship. It was long gone now, lost in the snow.
Just as Ahsoka advanced towards the Mandalorians, she stopped when she heard a quiet beeping sound. Just looked down towards her feet and saw a small, flashing red object. Her eyes widened. A bomb.
Bo-Katan flew off, laughing. Vizsla followed her, laughing too.
Ahsoka's heart was racing; she didn't know what to do. She could either jump off the ship and probably die, or get blown up, and probably die.
Ahsoka decided she was going with the first option; jump off the ship and hope she didn't die when she hit the ground. She ran toward the edge of the ship, and as soon as she jumped, the bomb went off, and the whole ship blew up.
… ... … … … … … …
Lux watched as Bo-Katan and Vizsla flew off. He could see that Ahsoka didn't know what to do. When she had finally decided, she ran towards the edge. As soon as her feet left the metal, the bomb exploded, and seconds after, so did the ship. Lux watched in horror as Ahsoka was blasted forward by the explosion.
He ran forward, towards where she would hit the ground. It was then that Lux realised that she wasn't going to hit the ground.
She was going to fall into the frozen lake.

I wrote this chapter in one day, I'm actually quite proud. I'm so, so sorry I haven't updated in ages! My depression is getting so much worse, and it's getting to the point where I can't handle it. It's really affecting everything in my life. So I'm sorry if my updates are really slow. I really am trying my best to write, but I just can't. I have no idea when the next update will be, but I think it'll be sooner than this one. Hopefully.
And yeah, this chapter is a little longer than usual.
Anyway, season 5 is coming soon. I'm looking forward to it. Are you?
Please review! Thanks!
