I show her where they keep the animals and she love monkey. I took meet their ape and she was nice to see my little sister. I was a little worry when my sister got inside the cage and I thought the monkey would hurt her but she gently pick up my sister and carry back over to me. I was amazed that she knows sign language just to talk to it.

Chapter 24: Exile

It's been three months since rai and ganodi left Coruscant and they been training nonstop on Felucia. Ganodi learned everything that Rai taught her and he was prepared to teach her some of darkside power. "Okay ganoid, I am about to teach something that none of the Jedi council doesn't know about and I want you to promise me that you will not use it in anger." He said as she nodded her head and he prepare his stances and he shot lightning out of his fingertip. She was amazed that he learned that technique and she was ready to do it, but she was nervous about doing a move that was forbidden in the Jedi code and the Jedi teaching. "Master, I thought that the Jedi masters forbid everyone from the darkside. Are you sure that it's okay to learn this techniques?" She asked as rai nodded his head and she took a deep breath and she ready her stances to try to shoot lightning. Then the blast burst in her face and she tried it again but with a different stance while her master watch and he sense that she was getting frustrated and he stood on his feet to leave to give her space. He didn't return until he need to check on her and see if she made any process with the lightning and she started to get the hang of it. "Amazing she is getting it now and she is growing so fast with everything that I taught her." He thought as she walked up to him and she smiled at him. "Here to congratulate me on a job will done with the lightning?" She asked as he nodded his head and they started to ignited their lightsabers to do the next step for her. They cross their lightsabers together and rai was getting the upper hand against her with a high attacked but she blocked it with her lightsaber and she counter attack with a low attack and she was trying to get him off-balance. Rai flipped to higher grounds and she notice that he was trying to get the upper hand on her but she pulled out the smoke bomb that she stole for the ship. He impressed that she was going to use against him and he started to smirk when he knows that it wasn't going to work on him.

Then she activated the bomb and she slammed it to the ground as the huge cloud of smoke cover her from his sights. Rai cover his nose to block out the smoke and he notice that she took that smoke bomb from the ship. "Using the smoke to cover your tracks and I can't see you that is clever. Now, I think it time that we continue our training." He said as he use the Force to clear the smoke but he notice that she wasn't in the smoke and he looked around to find her and something trigger his sense. She jumped down from the trees to strike her master, but rai blocked it with his saber-staff and he spun it around to flipped her on her back. Then he brought his lightsaber down just only to stop at her throat and he put his lightsaber behind his forearm then he bow to her. He extended his hand to her and ganodi knew that her training was done for one day. "Very good with the smoke bomb strategy and I almost lose to you but you left yourself open for me to attack." He said as ganodi smiled at him and she started to looked for food to eat tonight. "Master, I always wonder why did you train for fourteen years with master Shaak Ti?" She asked as he looked at her and he notice that she was serious about this. "Sigh. Well, I never wanted to stop training and I never was ready to face the world. I wanted to be strong and I did but I ended up dead." He said as ganodi was amazed that he was training that long and she never knew that he was wanted to be stronger. "That why I training to push myself beyond my limits and that how I was able to beat grievous." "Then explain this to me where did those wings come from?" She asked as rai took another sigh and he knew that she was at the right age to explain. "I was born with these abilities known as the dragon powers and I was told that these powers are a curse from million of years ago. Some dark lord put it on my greatest ancestor and for thousand of years that passed the cursed spread from one Stone to another Stone." He said as he told her everything that he knows about his history about the curse. "That is amazing master, but why now to tell someone about this and you should tell the Jedi master about this as well." She said as rai shook his head and ganodi was shocked that he didn't want the Jedi council help with the matter. Then they went to the lake to find them something to eat. Rai jumped into the water to find some fish to eat while ganodi went to find some berries that would with the food. Rai shook out some of the water that was on him and ganodi return to the campsite with the berries. They sat down and started to eating and rai notice that ganodi grown to be a get Jedi that he ever trained before and she no longer shy about some things. She is more confident in herself now than she ever was. Rai brought this out of her and he manage to teach her how to wield two lightsabers instead of one lightsaber. Then they got a called from Coruscant and it was master Yoda that was the one that called them. "Master Yoda? Is there a reason why you call us and it been three months since we left." He said as Yoda knew that rai was right about calling them and he had a sad look on his face. "Return to Coruscant you must. Troubling news that we have." He said as he ended the transmission and rai knew that he was upset for some reason.

They boarded their ship and they took off to Coruscant. Rai put in the coördinates to Coruscant and the ship went into light-speed. "I wonder why master Yoda wants us to return so early." "He had a sad looked on his face and that means that someone had died at the Temple." He said as they discuss about that matter and rai sense something was wrong, He knew that his padawan will had to get her training done on the Coruscant. "Listen ganodi, you work on your meditation, push exercises, and your punch and kicks alright." He said ganodi nodded her head and he brought the ship out of light-speed and he brought the ship in the hangar bay. They both were wearing black outfits and they saw katooni, zatt, gungi, byph, and petro standing there waiting for them. "Well, hello younglings or should I say young padawans." He said as they turn around to see that he was standing behind them and katooni was the first that ran up to him and hugged him. Rai never felt this side of her before and he notice that she was upset for some reason. "What's wrong katooni?" He asked as she just cried into his robe and he looked the four boys to get some answer out of them, but he saw that they have tears in their eyes as well and he assume the worst that had happen. "What happen here?" He asled as they told him and ganodi what happen to the temple. Then he went to the chamber that was filled with people surrounding several dead Jedi and he made his way toward ahsoka, aang, and barriss. He notice that barriss was crying over the lost of her best friend and he knew that there was no way to bring them back. "One with the Force they are. And our job it is to remember that we will in time also pass on. Humanist being are we but temporary vessels our bodies are and we should all find ourselves here in time. A moment of silence I ask to remember and to move on." He said as they all took the moment of silence to remember the fallen Jedi and rai sense that one of them was one of the younglings that picked on him when he was young. The bully stopped picking on him because he became a padawan learner and they became friends. "You were close to one of them?" "Tutso Mara. We train together, he taught me how to hold my lightsaber correctly." She said as she tried her best to hold back the tears and aang went to comfort her. "Live for the living Jedi we must. Live through us forever they will." He said as the six coffin went down to the tombs and the lights shine through the doors.

They all started to leave except for rai who was deep in thought and he was thinking where did they put his father's grave. Shaak Ti knew that he was back for a bit and she walked up to him to place her hand on his shoulder which startled him. "Rai, I thought that you have two years of training with ganodi." She said as Rai shook his head. "I still am but master Yoda call me back here for a moment to attend the funeral of these six Jedi that was killed in an explosion. Do you know who could have done this?" He asked as she nodded her head and she notice that he was thinking about his father. "I think it's time for me to show you where we buried your father." She said as she show him his father grave site and when they got to his grave site, rai saw his own grave next to his father's. Rai knew that they would buried him next to his father. "When you died, I requested the council to buried you right next to him and I known that you wouldn't like to buried alone with someone there to guide to the Force." She said as rai walked up to his father's grave and he place his hand on the tomb stone. He felt his father's presence around it and he knew that his father's spirit was still there watching him. "Thank you master. I know that he was a good man to you and I only wish that you could've told him that you loved him." He said as his former master was surprised that he read her emotions and he walked up to her and he gave her a hug. Then he left to meet up with his friends and his padawan while his master stay behind for a little while. "He has become a quite a Jedi since then and I over heard him say that I should be his mother since your wife die of child-birth. I been for of a mother to him than a Jedi master. He's became more and more like you and you should feel proud of him. I know I am." She said as she left the grave site to return to her seat on the council. Rai caught with them and he notice that anakin was with them and he saw military general named Wihuff Tarkin talking to them.

"So, what happens Letta now?" Ahsoka asked as she sense her boyfriend's presence coming towards them and she felt his sadness running through him. "The bomber has been move." Tarkin said as ahsoka was shocked that they move letta out of the Jedi hands. "Move? Where? Why must she be moved?" She asked as rai came up to them and he sense her anger building up. "The republic military has taken her into custody." "But why? This is a Jedi matter isn't it?" "Clones were killed which make this terrorist's attack a military matter." He said as ahsoka looked at barriss for a moment and she looked back at the admiral. "An attack on the Jedi is an attack on the senate." He said as anakin knew he was right about that and rai sense ahsoka's anger growing again. "Admiral Tarkin is right ahsoka. Letta isn't a Jedi and it's not for us to be judge and jury over the civizan of the Republic." Anakin said as ahsoka was even more pissed off that her own master agree with him than her. "If letta is guilty, She's guilty and she should be dealt with." She said as rai walked in front of her to stop her in her tracks. "Enough ahsoka, calm down." He said as anakin and barriss were shocked that he was there without them noticing him. "Remember revenge is not the Jedi way." He said as she calm down for a bit and she kept her emotions in check. "The evidence is clear, ahsoka. Nothing will ever change." Barriss said as aang felt her pain and he knows nothing will make her feel whole again. "The chancellor feel very strongly that the Jedi need to be removed from as many militaries matter as possible. You yourselves said that you're peace keeper, not soldier." He said as rai place his hand on ahsoka's shoulder to tried to calm her emotions. "I hope the chancellor palpatine knows what he's doing." "I sure you that he rarely does anything without a strategy." Tarkin said as he waited for the elvator to open the doors for him and he stepped inside of it. "I have many things to attend to master. Good day." Barriss said as ahsoka felt her pain growing and rai nodded his to aang to go after her. "Go. Be with your friend, ahsoka." He said as rai and anakin got inside the elvator with the admiral. "Sigh. In a way she is still very young." "Indeed." The admiral said as the elvator doors close in front of them.

Ahsoka ran after barriss and aang to tried to get barriss to move on. "Company?" She asked as barriss looked at her and aang nodded his head. "Sure." "Everytime I think about this, I feel conflicted. It's hard to not let feeling turn to attachment and pain. She said as barriss looked at her with that sad on her face. "Ahsoka, have you ever wonder if it's was right to ignore your emotion?" "My master would say our struggle as Jedi is to move pass them." "You make sound so easy." She said as ahsoka giggle and she turn to face her. "No it's not that easy just looked at rai. He manages to fight the odds and he cheated death many times but still he got pass it and I guess we can get pass this." "You always been capable of seeing things clearly." "*Giggle* I guess I fool you like I everyone else." She said as her comlink started to beep and she knows that it was her master that was calling her. "Yes master." "Ahsoka, we are needed in the war room. It's appeared that the Separatist have mounted another attack. "Coming master." She said as she started to run to the war room, but she stopped for a moment to finish her conversation with barriss. "Look, I have to believed that one way or another this woman will pay for what she did." "You should keep your master waiting." Barriss said as ahsoka ran towards the war room while barriss went to her room to meditate but aang was waiting for her to show up and she open the door to her room. She saw that aang was in her room and he had a sad look on his face. Then she ran towards him and she held on to him and she cried into his arms. Aang rubbed his hand against her back and she let go of him just to looked at him. "Aang, I been thinking lately and I should tell you. Aang, I'm pregnant." She said as aang just looked at her and he notice that she wasn't pregnant.

Then suddenly there was a glow and her body started to change which show him that she was pregnant. "I ask that master rai would help me with this problem and he manage to stop my pregnancy but I know that you wouldn't believe when say it and now you do." She said as aang smiled at her and he started to laughed with excitement. "I'm going to be a father?" He asked as she nodded her head and he did some flipped with excitement. "You're not mad at me for keeping this from you?" "Why should I be mad? I mean yeah I'm a little pissed that you didn't tell sooner but I am going to be a daddy." He said as he picked her up and he spun her around. Barriss was happy for her boyfriend that soon to be a dad. Then he notice that rai is back and he still have the ring that he gave him. He went to his drawer and he pull out the ring that he had. "I need to get this to rai so he could propose to ahsoka." He said as barriss nodded her head and she was happy that rai is going to ask ahsoka to marry him. Then aang ran out of the room and he head towards the war room to give him the ring.

Meanwhile in the war room.

Obi-wan was going over the where of the Separatist and rai was looked around the room to find ahsoka. "We have uncovered the Separatist's plan of attack. We shall travel to the antics system here then move across Saleucami." Obi-wan said as both rai and windu thought about his plan. "So far out of our way." "Unfortunately, we must avoid these natural systems." He said as another holo-gram of the admiral appeared next to obi-wan and rai knew that he want something. "Excuse me, master Jedi?" Admiral Tarkin asked as rai looked at him and ahsoka looked at him but she notice that his hair grew out some more and she started to blushed which Anakin notice her staring at him. He knew that he wasn't looking back at her. "Yes, admiral." "Commander Tano, your presence is requested by prisoner Letta Turmond." He said as rai thought up a plan to talked to her about this matter and he knew something isn't right. "The prisoner from the hangar bombing?" She asked as rai look at her and he nodded his head to her. "Why is she asking for ahsoka?" Anakin asked as rai tried to figure out the answer himself and he feel something is wrong about this. "Not exactly sure, but commander Tano is the only preson that the prisoner wish to speak to." Tarkin said as ahsoka's anger grew even more, but something trigger rai's sense. He received another vision and it was about ahsoka out running the clones and her master. Then the vision ended real quick and he shook his hea as master windu saw that he had one of his visions. "I'll report back with whatever I found out." She said as the transmission ended and ahsoka was about to walk out the door. "Wait a minute, ahsoka. I think you shouldn't go to that prison alone." Rai said as she stopped in her tracks and she turn around to look at him. "Is there a reason you stopped my padawan?" Anakin asked as ahsoka walked back towards her boyfriend and she kiss him on his forehead. "There no need to worry about me. I can take care of myself."

"That is not the reason I stop you because I just had another vision about you and I don't know what that vision trying to tell me. I think that I should be the one to go not you." He said as anakin looked at him and he thought about him to the prison instead of ahsoka. "No way, this woman ask for my padawan not you. We don't know that this vision of yours involve with ahsoka or not." He said as ahsoka looked into rai's dark green eyes and she knew that he is telling the truth and she smiled at him. "Okay rai, I trust with this task but if you don't make it back in 20 minutes I am coming over to talk to her alright." She said as he nodded his head and he walked out of the war room. Anakin was pissed that she chosen rai over his judgement for her to go. "Why you let him go to place?" "Because I had vision about him being hurt several times and they are always happen but he get hurt in order to protect me and what he is doing right now is protecting me." She said as master windu and obi-wan were impressed that she figure out what he been doing. Rai was walking towards a speeder to take him to the prison to vist Letta and he sense aang coming towards him but he seem to be out of breath and rai saw that he had the ring that he was going to propose to ahsoka. "Aang, why do you have the ring?" He asked as aang took a deep breath and he stood up on his feet. "I thought since you're here and I brought it to you so you can propose to ahsoka again." He said as rai was glad that he remember to bring the ring, "Yeah well, I am heading toward the prison to speak to this woman that bomb the temple." He said as aang nodded his head and went back to barriss. Then the speeder came to pick him up and heading towards the prison. Palpatine sense that rai came to the prison instead of ahsoka and he knew that this was the right moment for his plan to work.

Kiara appeared next to him and she notice that he wasn't going with her plan but instead she sense that he had a new. "So, you waited until the girl spill her guts about you or you going to frame him." She said as palpatine knew that she was pissed off and he started to chuckle for a bit. "Patience my dear, our plan is move in motion." He said as he watch the speeder landed on the platform. Rai started to walked towards the gates to the prison but he was stopped by two clones with electrical staff. "I am to speak with the prison Letta Turmond." He said as the guards let him passed through the gate. He walked up to the window which one of the clones saw him and he was Commander Fox of the prison and he notices rai was standing there. "Yes." "I am general Rai Stone, Letta Turmond requested to see me." Rai said as the clone nodded his head and he smiled at him. "A lot of innocent people died in that blasted. Good job capturing her." He said as rai rubbed the back of his head with his right hand and he smiled. "Alright, scan him." He ordered as the clones scan him and they found his lightsabers and his comlink. "Leave your lightsabers and comlink here." He said as rai gave him his lightsabers and his comlink in the box and the clones walked out of their office with their guns ready. "Follow me." He said as rai fellow them to letta's cells and they got pass the laser shield and they walked pass couple of more cells to find hers. Then the clone open the door to Letta's cell and rai stepped inside to see a scared woman sitting across from him. "Who are you? Where is ahsoka tano? I want to talked to her not you." She said as rai walked to the other side of the room and she just sat there and say nothing to him. Rai close his eyes to sense her emotions and he knew something was wrong with this woman. "Please calm down and let me explain myself. I am Jedi master Rai Stone and ahsoka is my girlfriend." He said as Letta looked at him and she was shocked that he just told her that him and ahsoka are boyfriend and girlfriend. "I thought that the Jedi weren't allow to form attachments and you are still young."

"Well, I have to thank the masters to allow me to have an attachment and I know that she care about me the most." He said as Letta started to laughed and he looked at one of the clones. "I think this woman deserve something to drink and some food to eat." He said as the clones stepped outside to a moment and he close door to the cell. "So, tell me why did you do such a thing to the Jedi temple? Did we done something to anger you and your husband?" He said as Letta notice that he didn't know about the bombing accident on the Jedi Temple. Then she told everything that had happen and she even the part about her putting nano-droids in her husband's food. Rai knew something doesn't add up and he knows that someone was involved with this matter. "But the idea feeding Jackar nanodroid was not my idea." She said as rai looked at her with serious looked on his face. "But why wait until you're capture to speak the truth?" He asked as he notice that she was worry about something and he use his senses to find someone who would come here to harm her. "Because my life was endangered. The person behind all this would be able to get to me unless you know the truth." She said as rai tried his best to find that person that going to kill her. "What the truth?" "A Jedi. A Jedi show me how to created the bomb and how to put the nano-droids in." She said as rai was shocked to hear that one of the Jedi would betray the order. "Why who a Jedi do this?" He asked as Letta sigh for a bit and she try to focus on the answer. "There are some citizen of the Republic like myself who believe that the Jedi Order is not what it use to be. The Jedi have become war monger, they have become military weapons and they killing when they should be keeping the peace. One of these Jedi agree with us and one of you wanted to make a statement who willing to attack your own order to do it." She said as she tried to hold back her emotions and rai felt her pain.

"Who is this Jedi?" "If you protected me and I will tell you because it is obvious that I'd been set up." She said as rai was still trying to sense her attacker and he still doesn't sense them anywhere. "Letta, I need to know who attack the Jedi temple so I can find them and put it end to their plans. I want to keep the peace and I can't let these people go unpunished for what they done. I give you my word as a Jedi master that I will protect you." He said as letta notice that he was telling the truth. "It's-" She was interrupted when someone was using Force choke on her and rai sense that someone was outside. "Letta, let me help you." He said as he tried to cut the link to her throat while letta held on to her throat, but the camera was recording the whole thing and the clone that was watching rai Force choking her. "Commander Fox, the prisoner." He said as the commander pull out his pistols and he pointed at some of them. "We need to get to the holding cells. Rai was still trying to find the attacker but something was blocking his senses even his dragon senses. Then Letta collapse to the ground and she died right there in that cell while rai stood over her dead body and the clones was to late to stop him. They cane running inside and they surrounded him but one of the them check to see that letta had a pulse and he felt no pulse. "i don't know what happen." "Commander, she is dead." "I couldn't say that I believe you, general. But you are under arrested." He said as he pointed his gun at the back of rai's head and rai put his hands up. "Is that is your wish than I will not resist, commander." He said as they took letta's body of the cell while Fox kept pistols pointed at rai's head hoping he won't move. Then they waited for the admiral to show and he walked into the cell and to his shocked to see that it was rai and not ahsoka. "Master Rai, I have no idea that you would be here. I thought Letta requested to see ahsoka." He said as rai sense his emotions and he knows that it was him that shut off the recorders to the cell. "Your emotions betrayed you admiral. I can sense your anger, your fear, and your hatred growing. You been working with the chancellor too long and you tried to frame ahsoka for murdered that poor woman." He said as the admiral tried his best to hide his emotions but rai can still sense them.

"I sure you that I don't know what are you talking about. Ahsoka probably so fill with anger and she send you in her place to kill this woman." He said as rai use Force push the admiral when he heard that he insulted ahsoka in front of him. "Don't you EVER insult my girlfriend again. Letta was trying to tell me that she was afraid of a Jedi that was gunning for her and she was about to tell me the name of the Jedi but someone was Force Choke her to death." He said as the admiral tries his best to get back up on his feet. "There are recorders every room but I am curious that the sound isn't working on this one." Tarkin said as he shown rai the recorder of him choking Letta and he knew that this wasn't getting him nowhere. "I didn't kill that woman. I sense someone was in the area and I know where to him or her if you let me out." Rai said as the admiral knew that he wasn't going to let him go. "You're the only one there. I know that ahsoka was upset when the woman was taken into custody by the military." "That means nothing about this." "I beg to differ, but you know that is very difficult to believe belive. This is secure facility, we do not have just anyone running about and if there was someone else, why did you not sense them." He said as rai knew that he was trying to delay him from find the murderers. "This pointless, you are trying to delay me from find them because you're working for them." He said as the admiral didn't answer him and he just walked out of the cell. Rai just sit there and waited for either ahsoka or the Jedi council to free him from this prison. Ahsoka made it to the prison because rai's time was up and he haven't check in when he was here. "I came to see Letta Turmond." She said as the clones looked at ahsoka with a sad look on their faces. "What's wrong troopers?" "Letta Thurmond is dead and she was killed by general Stone." He said as ahsoka's eyes widen when she heard that he murder someone and she tried to hold back the tears. "That's not true, Rai would never kill a inocent. I need to get in there to talked to him." She said as Commander Fox stopped her by closing the doors to the holding cells. "Sorry commander, but I can't let you in there to see the prisoner." "Let me in there. My boyfriend is in there now step aside." She said as Fox still have his hand on the button to keep her out. "Commander tano, admiral tarkin has ordered that no one is allow to be in there." He said as ahsoka balled up her fist and her anger grew even more.

"I don't care what he is accuse of. Let...me...in." She said as she hit the window and the commander his head to the guards clones with that staffs ready to force her to leave. "Sorry ma'am but the admiral orders still stand. This is now a military operation and under his jurisdiction." Fox said as ahsoka started to leave and she was now worry for rai because that means whatever the admiral plan to do he would take the down fall for it. Rai was laying on his bed and he heard something on the out side of his cell. He looked around to the person that make all that noise and he saw something on the outside of his cell. It was a keycard that will open this cell and he knew that someone was looking out for him. "I guess that ahsoka came here and she force her way in here to get a keycard." He said as he use the force to lift the keycard and he brought the key over to the keyhole to unlocked the cell door. Then he walked down the hall and he saw several clones knocked out. Then he made it back to the main hall where he found his lightsabers and his comlink. "Why are my lightsabers and comlink doing out here?" He asked as pick them up and he his comlink beeping for some reason. He didn't know what to do and he needed answer on why this person is helping him. "Hello, who are you and why are you helping me?" He asked as he heard static and he saw the door opening up and he saw fox walking in. "What going on here?" "It wasn't me." He said as Fox went towards the alarm button but rai stopped him and he kicked him in the face which he started running.

Fox got to his feet and he pass the alarm button then he signal the clones a warning. "Alert, alert the Jedi prisoner has escape." He said as the clones grabbed their weapons and they start their search to find rai. He ran past a couple droids until his next corner reveal to be more clones with their guns and he turn back to find another way. "General Rai stop!" They said as they ran after him and rai turn to another corner to get away from them, but one of them hit the button that close the door. That didn't stop rai to escape and he did several front flips to get to the last door before it close. Then one of the clones use their comlinks to contact either Fox or some of other clones on the other side. "He heading north to the prison corridor. Cut him off!" "Copy that." Fox said as he pull out his pistols and he headed north to find rai. Ahsoka, Anakin, and Rex were heading to the prison to see what was going on there and they heard from the chancellor himself that rai had escape from the prison. Ahsoka sense that he was in danger and she put the ship in high gear to get to the prison before something wrost happens. Rai was still more doors before they trapped him in and he made it past the last door. Then he use his comlink to contact aang at the Temple to warn him that the clones will be after him next. "Aang? Aang, come in please I need your help." "Rai, what going on over there? I heard that you kill a innocent woman with the Force is that true?" "Now is not the time to believe that damn nonsense. I was framed and I am about to be excuted if they catch me. I need you to leave the Temple before they decided to put you down as well." "Alright, I am heading to the hangar now to find a speeder and I will contact you when I am close." He said as rai ended his transmission and he head toward the corridor, but he stopped in his track when he saw three dead clones. "Oh no." He said as he heard pistols firing and he started running when he saw Fox shooting at him. Fox missed every shot when rai turn to corner to find his way outside of the prison courtyard and Fox looked his dead brothers then he use his comlink to contact all clones in the area.

"Suspect has killed three clones Code Red. If you see the target; shoot to kill." He said as he heard foot step comin towards him and ahsoka knew that wrost had come when she heard that Fox was giving out death orders for the others. Thery were going to kill rai and she have to stop him before they carry that order. "Delay that order Commander Fox." She said as Fox was even more pissed that she stopped him. "He KILL trooopers!" "I know general Stone, he would never do something like this." "Then who did?" Fox asked as he gotten up in rex's face while anakin sense the bodies to see if it was rai's handy work and he senses told him that it was rai that murders these clones. "Quiet!" Ahsoka shouted as she use the Force to contact rai and rai was still running when he found a safe place to rest for a little bit. "Rai? It's me ahsoka." She said as rai took a deep breath while he listen to her and she could sense that he's not hurt. "Stop running." "You can't help me ahsoka...(pant) (pant)...someone is setting me up." "I believe you, Rai." "But one else will." He said as he cancel the link between them and he ran once again. "Keep searching until we find him. Rex call security tell them that we need to search the entire base now. And I want all weapons set to stun not kill." She said as rex nodded his head and he watch her leave but anakin shook head to tell him to not set weapons to stun and he wants rai dead then he went after ahsoka. "Commander Tano and general Skywalker has just issued all=points bulletin on general Rai Stone. He's killed three clones and should be consider arm and dangerous." Rex said as all the clones assembling in the courtyards with their gun tank and there were some clones station at the torrance to get a view of the courtyard to spot him. Some of the other clones were still in the base looking for him but rai on the ceiling waiting for them pass him and then he jumped down to see that there was no clones in sight. He headed to the door where the courtyard was and he saw that there was some clones and some nasty ceatures that he doesn't to play with.

He saw they open the door to check if he made it out and he follow them but he turn invisible so none of them could see him. He hid behind a statue to make sure the cost was cleared but suddenly on of the creatures caught his sensed and it started to growl at the statue which the trooper saw there was nothing there. "Whistle. gridzer there nothing here." He said as he took his pet and the other direction. Rai was on top of the statue's head and he turn off his Shadow Fog, but suddenly the door open and Fox spotted him on top of the statue. "There He is! Quick, stop him before he get to the ships." He said as they all started to shoot at him but rai started to run for his life to avoid being shot and he jumped down to where the ship were. Then suddenly the Torrance started to firing at him and the clones was right behind him. He was heading towards the ships but the Torrance shot at the ship and the ship exploded which rai hit his head pretty hard. He shook his head to shake the pain off for a bit and he got to his feet once again. He saw the clones coming after him and he head towards the industrial pipes to wait for aang to show up. "Alright, don't lose him. We will be right there." Fox said as ahsoka and Anakin walked up to them and she needed some good news. "What's going on?" "We found him. He's heading towards the industrial pipe line." "I want weapons set to stun keep him alive." She said as the switch their weapons to stun. Rai was running on the pipe line and he saw aang with the speeder that get him out of here. "Aang, what took you so long?" "Sorry about that Rai it was hard to pass them clones." "Take the speeder up they're going to shoot their stun rays." He said as aang saw that the clones was firing stun rays at them and rai dodge them all.

Then he ignites his lightsabers blocked all shot at were aiming at him and he slid down to the other side. He landed to the other side and he ran up the stair to see that aang was trying to find a safe place to pick him up. Then they shoot stun rays at rai once he made it to the top of the stairs, but he blocked all of their shot and some of the clones ran to the ships to get air support. Ahsoka, Anakin, and Rex were to far behind them and Ahsoka saw some of the ship heading towards rai. "Do not shoot to kill. Do not shoot to kill. Try to box him in and tell what you see guys." She said as Anakin notice that aang was lowering the speeder to try to get rai on the speeder. "Shoot that speeder down before he escape." Anakin said as the clones started to shoot at the speeder and aang tried his best to avoid their fire but one of the laser hit the engine and he jumped out of the speeder as it crash landed. Aang landed on his leg and rai helped him up while they started to run again but aang's leg was hurting badly. He limped while he was running and rai saw that the ships were at their side. The clones started to fire stun rays at them but rai and aang blocked every shot they could. "This will knocked them off their feet." He said as he pull out a rocket launcher and he fired at the bridge which knocked rai and aang off but they was holding on to the bridge while the clones were still shooting at them. Rai pull himself up and then he pull aang up on the pipe and they head to another stairs to get away. Then suddenly a ship appeared in front of them and the ship was blocking their only route. "Not so fast, generals." The pilot said as rai and aang jumped down the stair and they tried to find another way out of this, but they were cut off by more clones and ahsoka and Anakin. They were surrounded and they don't have no another plan to escape. Ahsoka look into rai's eyes to tell that he need to surrender but rai had one last trick up his sleeve. "Rai!" She shouted as she watched as rai grabbed aang and jumped to the nearest pipe then he cut a hole and they jumped inside. Then he use a smoked bomb to covered their tracks but Anakin manage to follow after them and he spear rai to the side of the of the pipe. Aang knocked on his injured leg while rai tried his best to get Anakin off of him so he can attend to aang.

Rai bought his elbow down on Anakin's back and he throw against the wall and then he punched him in the jaw. He follow up with drop kicked but Anakin was too smart for him to know that what he was going to do. Then he grabbed rai's leg and he slammed hard on the ground and rai brought his legs to an X preformation which knock Anakin on his stomach. Before he could get back up, rai brought elbow down on the back Anakin's head to knocked him out. Then he got back up on his feet again and he ran over to aang to check his leg again but they heard voices of the clones and ahsoka coming towards them. They took a separated tunnel to find them and ahsoka saw that Anakin was down and out cold. She sense both rai and aang presence on the other tunnel. Then she follow after them and she saw that they have nowhere to run now. "Rai? Aang? Please, you two don't need to run anymore. You're only making yourselves even more guilty. She said as rai knew that he and aang have nowhere else to go anymore and rai knew that he need to tell her the truth about all of this. "I did not murder that woman, ahsoka." He said as he held on to aang and he saw that there was ship below them. He looked at aang for a moment and aang looked down to see that the was underneath them. Aang nodded his head to rai's suggestion and rai push aang off the ledge which ahsoka saw him did it. RAI, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" She shouted as she ran to the ledge to find where aang landed at and she saw that aang made it to the ship safely. Then she looked at rai and she knew that he was up to something. "I can't go back to the Jedi temple not anymore." He said as he looked away and ahsoka walked over to him. "I don't understand, rai. Why can't you return to the Jedi temple?" She asked as rai didn't answer her question and he took off his comlink then he crush it with his foot.

Ahsoka was shocked to see that he crush his comlink and she walked up to him. "Rai, what going on? You have to tell me and I will help you with anything." She said as rai just walked away from her and he was looking over the ledge and ahsoka was getting worry about him. "Ahsoka, there is no other way for us to stay on Coruscant and I mean for me and aang. So, as long as there is a sith among the senate we are helpless to stop him." "Rai, you're scaring me and I don't get that scare unless something got to do with our relationship." She said as rai took a deep breath and rai pull out the box that had the ring that he was going to propose. "I am sorry ahsoka but I can't stay here anymore. All I want is for you to be happy and I am going to ask that you to come with me. Together we can live without the Jedi Order around our neck." He said as ahsoka knew that he was trying to asked her to leave the Jedi and she knew that he was serious about that. "Rai, what you're asking me to abandon the innocent just to live with you is like join the dark side. I am not doing that and you shouldn't neither." She said as rai knew that she doesn't understand his situation. "I knew that you will never understand my situation." He said as he saw that ahsoka was about to cry and he sense her anger building. "So, master Anakin was right you are a sith." She said as rai heard that which made him remember that dream he had a while back. "Ahsoka please, I am not a sith and I just have something that I need to do alone." "What is it? Tell me rai, does it got to do with those wings you had on Florrum." "No. It's not that it something else." "Then tell me so I can help you get through it please." "I can't tell you. You're not ready to know about me." He said as ahsooka was trying her best to fight the tears and she pull out rai's mother's necklace then she threw it at him. He caught it and he looked at it to wonder why she throw his most precious gift. "Consider that a goodbye gift sith. I can't have you in my life anymore and I will chairst the moment that we had as Jedi." She said as rai turn around to see that she was about to cry and he walked towards her but she backed away from him.

"Stay back sith or I will cut you down where you stand. I HATE YOU!" She said as tears fell down from her face. Rai felt his heart broke to pieces and his eyes started to change from dark green to black. He felt that his emotion need to turn off and he shut them down. "So, that how you wanted huh. Then I will respect your wishes but I will say this. Don't trust chancellor palpatine because he is a si-" He was interrupted when someone shot him in the shoulder and he fell off of the ledge. Ahsoka turn to see Anakin with a gun his hand and it was one of Rex's pistols. "RAI!" She shouted as rai use the force the caught his fall and he landed right next to aang. Then he looked up to see ahsoka looking down for him. "Looks like we are on our own aang." He said as he helped aang with his broken leg. Ahsoka was searching to see which ship did he land on but she sense that he wasn't neither ship. Then suddenly she felt that same pain that had before when rai left to train with ganodi. She dropped to her knees while she hold her stomach and she cried out in pain. Anakin come to her side and he tried to carry her to the ship but ahsoka looked at Rex and she want him to carry her back. "What with this pain I felt and I feel like to vomit right now. I never felt this pain since rai started ganodi's training." She thought as Rex carry her to the ship and Anakin looked down the ledge to find rai. When they got back to the Temple but the clones took ahsoka to the med-center to get check by the doctors. Anakin went to the Jedi council chamber to informed the council that they fail to capture rai and aang. "Rai had escaped to the lower city, masters. I try to capture him myself but he did some hand to hand combat and he done something ahsoka that I don't know about. I am waiting for the result on her condition right now." He said as the council was looking at each other and they tried to come up a plan to get rai and aang back to the Jedi order. "Trouble this situation is." "Master Yoda is right Anakin, we need to try to get rai and aang back here without trying to start a fight." "Don't you hear yourself? I saw his eyes change and he was about to kill ahsoka." "Anakin, I saw his eyes change to that color because he was trying to keep his anger in check."

Anakin knew that this conversation wasn't getting him nowhere and so he left the chamber. Obi-wan knew something wasn't right with Anakin and he sense that Anakin didn't tell the whole story. "Masters? I think that rai is innocent and he was trying to tell us." "Right you are master Kenobi." Yoda said as obi-wan left the chamber to check on ahsoka and while he was on his way, he saw barriss walking towards the med-center. "Going to see ahsoka?" He asked as he startled her and she turn around to see that he was standing behind her. She nodded her head and they walked to the center to see that Anakin was standing outside of the room. "Anakin? What's wrong?" "The doctors said that I am not allow to see my padawan." He said as both barriss and obi-wan looked at each other then back at Anakin. "Here, let me and padawan Offee try to get inside to see ahsoka and we will tell you the news about her result." He said as Anakin nodded his head and they got to the door and the clone let them in and Anakin waited for them to come out to tell him the result. Rex saw them walking into ahsoka's room and he lean forward to whisper into her ear to tell her that her friends are here. "Master obi-wan, barriss what are you guy doing here?" She asked as she tried to get up but the pain shot there her body. "Easy ahsoka, you don't need to push yourself." "But I need to get back out there to find rai and I know that he is upset that I decided to end our relationship." She said as barriss looked at her and she was sad that ahsoka just broke up with rai. The doctor walked in the room with the results of ahsoka's condition. "I have some good news commander Tano. The pain in your stomach is not no originally pain but the first stages of pregnancy." "I AM PREGNANT?!" Ahsoka said as barriss lit up with excitement that her friend was happy to hear that she was pregnant. "I am going to be a mother. I am so happy but I am a little sad that rai won't be around to hear the news." She said as tears fill her eyes and she remember what she said to him.

"He will never forgive me not after what I said to him." She said as she held on to barriss and she started to cry. Barriss didn't know what had happen between her and rai. "I assure you that he will forgive you no matter what. He is going to be a father and he will love you and the baby." She said as obi=wan left them to talked and he went back outside to tell Anakin the news. Anakin was pasting back and forth and he was getting impatience when obi-wan came out of the room with a smile on his face. "What with the smile is ahsoka okay." "She is fine Anakin, but she is pregnant and this is good news for us all." He said as Anakin looked through the window to see ahsoka and barriss talking about something. "I will find rai and I will make him pay for impregnated ahsoka." He said as obi-wan didn't hear him and he headed back to the council chamber to informed the Jedi council about ahsoka's condition. Anakin headed to the senate tower to informed the chancellor that rai escaped and he is nowhere to be found. At the senate tower, palpatine was sitting in his chair and he sense kiara's presence appeared behind him. She was not happy at all that he let rai live and she was floating around his desk. "Why are you still sitting there? Rai is still out there and I won't allow him to go to that cursed planet." She said as palpatine didn't know what she was talking about and he let her complain until she was done. "Patience my dear, that boy have no interest with my plan to corrupted Anakin Skywalker." He said as Kiara knew that he was getting lazy and the only way for her to take back her physical body but she need to take his in order to get hers back.
