Chapter 11

Escape

Ahsoka POV

"Well this could be very useful," I said as I found some plans for some of those seppies new toys.

Suddenly the alarms blared as I felt an explosion shake the ground. I quickly downloaded the plans and ran out of the room. I started running toward the ballroom to see if I could find Lux, when I saw him running towards me along with Tyler.

"Lux! There you are!" I said as we embraced.

"Ahsoka, we have to get to the rendezvous point. Battle droids are coming toward this position immediately," Lux said as he tried to catch his breath. As I heard him say this, I could actually hear droids coming.

We all took off in a sprint, running toward the prison sector. When we reached the huge double doors, Lux entered the secret code. Nothing, except the faint sound of clanker's feet. "Lux, they're coming!" Tyler said, sounding distressed.

"I entered the code but it's not working!" Lux said, his voice rising to an almost scream. "Ahsoka, do you think you could cut a hole in the wall?"

"Let me try," I said calmly. I placed my hand on my lightsaber, tucked away safely in my dress, and activated it. I shoved it into the wall and tried moving it around in a circle. It was slow going and I could hear the droids coming.

"Ahsoka!" Tyler said impatiently. I was almost done with the door, when the first tinnies rounded the corner. Lux and Tyler blasted them with no problem. "Hurry it up!" Tyler yelled again.

I finally finished the circle, and kicked it in. It gave way and I said," Come on!"

They did as they were told and entered the hole. I followed after them and saw more droids coming around the corner. I used the Force to place the metal back in place and turned around to see chaos. Prisoners were running around everywhere and I couldn't see Anakin or Padme anywhere. "How are we going to find Skywalker now?" Tyler asked, staring in amazement at all of the pandemonium.

I had an idea at that moment. I concentrated and found my Master. "I've got a lock on his position. Follow me." I rushed through the crowd with Lux and Tyler at my heels. I stopped when I reached a air duct and removed the cover.

"Ahsoka, aren't you worried someone might notice that the vent has been removed?" Lux asked. I shrugged not really caring. All I really wanted to do right now was get off this planet.

I went into the duct and Lux followed me. Tyler looked uncertain, and then entered. I felt the walls, trying to find my bearings and then followed Anakin's power trail. It was very strong so I easily found the way in which he had gone. We went through many twists and turns and ended up at an exit.

I used the Force to unlock the screws and steeped outside. "Bout time you found us, Ahsoka," I heard a voice say.

I smiled and looked to my left, to see Anakin, Padme, and the advisors. "Anakin!" I said and gave him a hug. He hugged me back and kissed me on top of my head.

I released him and hugged Padme, who was almost as glad to see me as Anakin was. "Ahsoka, it's so good to see you again," she said and smiled at me.

I turned around to see Anakin giving Tyler a suspicious look. "Who's this guy?" he asked.

"This is my brother, Tyler Bonteri. Tyler this is General Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka's master and friend," Lux said. "Don't worry, General. He's with us," Lux added quickly.

Anakin relaxed a little then held out his hand toward Tyler, who took it in surprise. "Thanks, for taking care of Ahsoka and Lux," Anakin said. I smiled and turned my attention back to the problem at hand.

"Alright, we need to contact Barriss, Cody, and Rex to make sure that they know where the rendezvous point is," I said, then activated my comlink. "Barriss, are you there?" I asked.

I heard some kind of moaning or lips being moved on the other end, then a giggle. "Yeah, Barriss here," she responded, still giggling a little.

I was confused for a second. Barriss never laughed or giggled. The most humor or happiness that she had showed me was a smile. "Barriss, are you drunk?" I asked.

She responded with a hiccup and another giggle. "Yeah, she is. Sorry about that Commander," said another voice. I recognized it to be Cody's.

What would Cody and Barriss be doing together? I thought. They were usually only together on missions, not spending down time together unless…

I then realized what they must be doing. A dirty thought crept into my head, but I pushed it away. I was going to have a serious talk with Barriss about this later. If you did have that talk with her, then you would be a hypocrite.

I suddenly remembered when Lux and I had… well done what Barriss and Cody had done. I sighed and said to Cody," That's alright Cody. Just get Rex on here." I listened to the rustling of footsteps and an excited voice.

"Hey, Ahsoka," Rex said.

"Hey, Rex. Listen, I have everyone ready to pick up, so I'll transmit a tracking device that should lead you guys right to us," I said quickly.

"Okay, kid. Just transmit the signal and we'll be ready to go," Rex said. I breathed a sigh of relief and activated the transmitter. Now we only had to wait.

Barriss POV

After my healing session with my master, we had sparred a little to see how well my foot had healed. It was just fine and Master let me have some free time. I smiled and rushed to the mess hall.

I took one look around and found who I was looking for. "Cody!"

Many of the clones turned toward me with either amused, bewildered, or disgusted expressions. I rushed toward Cody, who looked at me as if I were a goddess. "Hey, Barriss. How you doing?" he asked nonchalantly.

I smiled. He definitely knew how I was doing. "I'm fine, and you?"

He smiled and said," I'm great."

"Anyway, I need to talk to you outside for a minute about recent issues in the Med Center," I said, then giving him a seductive look.

Cody understood immediately and said to his clones," Troops, I have to go with Commander Offee for a minute. See you guys later."

We hurried out of the room and found an empty room. As soon as we were in there, I started pulling off my clothes but Cody stopped me. "Not just yet, Barriss," he said then wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me.

I kissed back and wrapped my arms around his neck. I lifted both my legs and draped them around Cody's waist. I heard him chuckle in pleasure. He used his strength to pick me up and shove me against the wall. I moaned in pleasure and pain and increased my pressure on his lips. I opened up my mouth and let his tongue inside.

I moaned again and reached for my clothes, but Cody stopped me again. "Before we get to that, I have a proposition."

I smiled. "What exactly would this proposition be?" I asked.

"Barriss have you ever tasted alcohol?"

The question surprised me to say the least, but I smiled and realized what he wanted to do. "So you're challenging me to a drinking contest?"

Cody shrugged and said," More like an experiment. The guys want to see who can hold their liquor the best, a Jedi or a Clone. Basically, a drinking contest, though."

I looked at him and nodded. "Okay where's the liquor?" Cody held up a bottle.

"Well aren't you prepared?" I said matter-of-factly and took the bottle.

My first drink surprised me with its burning taste, but I swallowed it. At first, I didn't know why people got addicted to it but when the pain subsided I realized that I wanted more. I grabbed the bottle again and took a huge swig. It actually felt good this time so I drank some more.

"Barriss, save some for me!" Cody said, but I didn't really focus on what he was saying. All I was focusing on by now, was how muscular he looked in that suit. After that thought, I wondered what he would look like without it on.

I said," Cody, what are we waiting for?"

Cody looked confused for a minute, but when I took a step forward he said," No, Barriss. You told me that Jedi aren't allowed to have attachments and I've already put you in danger of getting pregnant."

I didn't pay attention and took another step toward. I realized that he probably wouldn't cooperate so I reached out with the Force. His armor started coming off, and he tried to place it back on him. I decided to distract him, so I started taking off my clothes in a very seductive manner.

That got his attention quickly and he focused in on me pretty quickly. I kept removing his clothes until all he was wearing was some boxers and all I was wearing was… well nothing.

Cody's eyes were looking all around my body, staring hungrily at my feminine side. Literally.

I walked over to him and removed his boxers. As soon as I was done, I leaped at him and we fell against the wall. I started kissing him and he kissed back. Once in a while I would have to separate because I either had to hiccup, breathe, or scream. It still hurts after the first time.

When we were in the middle of doing what we were doing though, my comlink beeped. I separated from Cody and pressed the button on my comlink. "Barriss, are you there?"

I realized that it was Ahsoka. I was about to answer but Cody kissed me and I felt him move inside of me. "Yeah, Barriss here," I finally responded with a giggle. I was still drunk even though it had been a few hours since my last taste.

"Barriss, are you drunk?" Ahsoka asked. I gave her a hiccup and another giggle.

Cody grabbed my wrist and said to Ahsoka," Yeah, she is. Sorry about that Commander."

I then heard someone enter behind me and a gasp. I turned around and found Rex staring me and Cody. Cody motioned for Rex to turn around and Rex did as he was told. "That's alright, Cody. Just get Rex on here," Ahsoka said.

Cody led me over to Rex and placed my wrist under Rex's mouth- without letting Rex see me. "Hey, Ahsoka," Rex said, trying his best to sound excited to hear her.

"Hey Rex. Listen I have everyone ready to pick up so I'll transmit a tracking device that should lead you guys right to us," Ahsoka said. Rex nodded when he heard this.

"Okay, kid. Just transmit the signal and we'll be ready to go," Rex said, then cut off the comlink. He turned to leave but I placed a hand on his shoulder. He turned around but then covered his eyes.

"Rex, I just wanted to say thank you for covering for me. If I actually had clothes on, I would probably hug you," I said.

Rex nodded and walked out of the room, but I thought I heard him chuckle under his breath. I turned around to see Cody. I took a step toward him, but he put up a hand. He activated his comlink and said," Hey, boys. It looks like clones can hold their liquor better than Jedi."

I heard hollers and cheers from the boys before Cody turned off his comlink. He turned to me and said," Where were we?"

I smiled and we picked up where we left off.
