Welcome back everyone and now we get to the episode, "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much." This was a great episode and it reminded me a little movie called, "The Fugitive" starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. Great movie and one many I'm sure have enjoyed seeing. Now like I said before this chapter will be different from the episode. So don't expect everything to be like from the episode.
Thank you to those who left reviews on the story I appreciate it and thanks to all those who have like the story. I appreciate the comments you all left in the story and the hits I have gotten on this story. Now then it's time to begin so let's do the disclaimer first. I don't own anything of Star Wars just my own OC. Now let's begin and enjoy everyone.
Frame
Hyperspace (James's pov)
"Soooo we're heading to Coruscant to see Ahsoka huh? Is there any particular reason why you didn't tell us this before we went to sleep?" Adam asks as Rose, Adam, and Eve are at the cockpit with me, while Eve flew the ship through hyperspace.
"I um wanted to surprise you guys that's all," I wanted to tell them the truth, but I also didn't want them to worry.
Rose isn't convinced as she knew James was lying, "James, two things can happen. You can either tell me what's going on or I will find out through painful means."
I gulped knowing Rose will do it. I guess lying to her won't work so maybe I should tell her, "Okay, um Ahsoka contacted me and told me that um…someone blew up the Jedi temple hanger?"
Rose and Adam were silent as I waited to hear their reactions. Rose approached me and slapped me in the shoulder, "Why didn't you tell us this before James? Why did you lie to us?"
"Did Eve know?" Adam asks as Eve remained silent not wanting to get in trouble.
"Ahsoka contacted me yesterday and told me during the party. I didn't want the party to get ruined and I didn't want you guys to worry," I really didn't want them to worry, after the whole war on Mandalore thing ended. I wanted my crew to rest up and relax.
"James, I would have understand and would have postpone the party for next time. I just wish you could have told me about this sooner," I sigh knowing Rose was right. Rose would have understood but I didn't think.
"I just wanted you to have a party that didn't end with us canceling it due to work or someone attacking us," I really wanted to give my sister a nice, normal, relaxing party with no work.
Rose sighs as she approaches me. Rose wraps her arms around me as she pulls me in for a hug, "I know you meant well brother and I'm happy that you gave me a normal party. But I don't want you to lie to me about something like this. I know you love Ahsoka and if she needs help I would understand. We could have postpone the party and help her.
"Thanks Rose," I'm so lucky to have a sister who is understandable and kind.
"Besides I didn't want to tell you guys this yesterday, but the party wasn't as fun as the ones before. I always enjoy fighting someone who tries to ruin the party. It makes my birthday more exciting and fun," I laugh a little knowing Rose did have some fun fighting people on her birthday, "So, we'll land the ship far from the city and you go help your girlfriend. We'll go talk to any of our contacts to see if they got anything."
I nodded, "I already contacted Sarah. She said she will help out once she is done dealing with certain Hutt council members."
"I guess we should tell the others then?" Adam asks as Rose shakes her head.
"Nope, just tell them we're going to Coruscant to see Dex," I nodded in agreement with my sister hoping the plan works.
Jedi Temple (Ahsoka's pov)
I stood next to my master as we waited for Master Yoda to begin with the funeral. I look in front of me to see the bodies of the fallen Jedi who died in the explosion thanks to Letta. The chancellor is here as well, along with Tarkin who I was surprise to see him here for the funeral. I never liked him ever since we first met long ago. He is what Rose would call an ass kisser who kisses up to the chancellor to get ahead in this world.
I turn to Barriss as I sense she is very sad. I'm sad too, but I sense she knew one of the Jedi who died. I could sense she was close to one of them. I knew some of them as well, but I never had the chance to get to know them. In a way I'm glad since their loss would be hurt me as well. I know if I lost James that would have hurt even more.
Master Yoda decided it was time to begin with the funeral, "One with the Force they are and our job it is to remember in time also pass on. Luminous beings are we, but temporary vessels our bodies are and we shall all find ourselves here in time. A moment of silence I ask to remember and to move on."
As the room became silent I turn to Barriss to see how close she was to one of them, "You were close to one of them?"
Barriss nodded, "Tutso Mara we trained together. He taught me how to hold my lightsaber correctly."
I felt sorry for Barriss. I knew the feeling of losing someone like how I tried to save Kalifa's life, but couldn't save her, and it felt like I failed her when I promised her I would get her off that planet. I just hope Barriss can move on from this. I know it will take time, but she is strong, can get through this with some help.
"I'm sorry Barriss," Barriss nods her head as Master Yoda begins the funeral.
"Live for the living Jedi we must. Live through us forever they will," Master Yoda tapped the floor with his cane as the bodies sunk into the floor and were cremated as the funeral was over.
As the funeral ended I joined my master and Barriss as we walked down the halls of the Jedi temple. Admiral Tarkin joined us as well. Something I didn't like much since I never got used to being around Tarkin. I don't know why just something about him I never liked.
"So master, what's going to happen to Letta now?" I ask my master wondering what we will be doing with Letta.
"The bomber has been moved," Tarkin explained which surprised me.
"Moved? Where? Why should she be moved?" I ask wondering where they took Letta and why was she taken from the Jedi temple.
Tarkin explained why they removed Letta from the Jedi's custody, "The Republic military has taken her into custody."
I scoffed by what she heard, "I thought the Jedi were going to handle this?"
Tarkin continued explaining, "Clones were killed which makes this attack a military matter. An attack on the Jedi is an attack on the senate."
"Admiral Tarkin is right," Anakin said agreeing with Tarkin, "Letta isn't a Jedi. It's not our right to be judge or jury over a citizen of the Republic."
I would normally disagree with this whole thing, but thanks to the training James gave me about learning to control my temper a little I realize my master and Tarkin as much as I hate to admit it is right.
"So, what are you going to do to her then?" I ask wondering what will happen to Letta.
"Well I plan to interrogate her later to find out what she knows," Tarkin walks near the elevator and waited for the elevator to arrive.
"And if she knows anything you will let us know?" I ask wondering if Tarkin will let us know anything.
"Of course," my master walked over to talk to Tarkin while I turn to Barriss noticing something was bothering her.
"Something wrong?" Barriss grabbed my hand and took me away from my master, "Barriss, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine, I'm just still thinking about all that has happened. By the way why did you go to the infirmary?" Barriss asks wondering why Ahsoka went to the infirmary.
"What do you mean?" I ask asks wondering what Barriss knows.
"I went to check on the wounded and saw you leaving the room. Is everything okay?" Barriss asks as Ahsoka is getting even more worry.
I was about to tell her when my master contacted me, "Ahsoka, head to the war room we're needed."
I mentally sigh in relief that I got saved, "Okay I'll be there," I turn to Barriss who was still worried, "I promise when I come back I'll tell you, just please don't tell anyone."
Barriss sighs in frustration, but agrees, "Okay, just tell me soon okay?"
I nod and took off. I really hope Barriss doesn't tell anyone. In a way though I'm glad she knows because I'm going to need a lot of help when I tell Anakin the truth, before I tell James the truth.
Underworld (James's pov)
I made it down to the underworld looking for Dragon and Bo-Katan. I left the others as soon as we landed and Rose promised me she would tell them I went to go see Ahsoka. I contacted Ahsoka and she told me she was heading off to see the criminal Letta. Ahsoka told me Letta wanted to speak with Ahsoka and Ahsoka alone. I didn't like that, but Ahsoka told me everything would be okay.
I trust her, but I don't trust this Letta woman. I made it to the abandon building where Dragon and Bo-Katan were meeting me. I looked around to be sure I wasn't followed. I wore a cloak and hood to cover my body and face. I also wore a mask to keep my face hidden. I'm still wanted by the Republic and if the criminal underworld knew I was here then that would be very bad.
I look around to try to find Dragon and Bo-Katan. I wonder where they could be. As I walk deeper into the room I ducked quickly as a blaster shot was shot right near my head. I took out my blaster and opened fire taking down three droids. As I turned around I saw a gun being aimed at my face.
"Slow as always?" I saw it was Dragon who was aiming the blaster at my face.
I smiled and whistled to him to look down. Dragon looks down to see I had my blaster aimed right at his crotch. Dragon and I begin to laugh as we put our blasters away.
"Good to see you again D. How are you? And how are things with Bo-Katan?" I ask as we shook hands.
"Good good, still giving me some trouble that woman. But that's why I love her," Dragon said laughing some more.
I nodded and sigh, "Is that right Bo?" Bo-Katan appeared behind me, though I knew she was there, "You giving the guy trouble?"
Bo-Katan scoffed, "If I take it easy on him then he'll get sloppy and weak. I won't let that happen and anyways we didn't come here to socialize remember?"
I nodded knowing why they're here, "What did you find out?"
Dragon took out a small disc and handed it to me, "This contains all the evidence we found that indicates Letta didn't work alone and that she is working for a Jedi."
I was afraid of this. If a Jedi did turn then I wonder who it is, "Give me the small summary."
Dragon motions for Bo to explain, "Letta has no experience with Nano-Droids and we know her husband couldn't have brought back those machines from the Jedi temple since employs are checked if they take or try to steal any Republic weapon or military property. We also spoke to many criminals in the underworld and we found out she was met by a Jedi who threaten her to commit this crime or else."
Dragon explained next, "According to our source the Jedi taught Letta how to program the Nano-Bots and gave her the idea to feed them to her husband. Along with that we think we also believe we found out who the Jedi's partner is."
"Partner?" I ask wondering who was working with the Jedi.
"A Trandoshan came here a few days ago speaking with a hooded figure who we believe is the Jedi. Whoever the Trandoshan guy is we know he has a grudge with a Jedi in the temple and that they are planning on framing that Jedi for the crime," I wonder why they would go all this trouble to frame someone and the question is who is this Jedi they are framing? I listen in on the rest of Dragon's report, "Bo-Katan and I have been trying to find this Trandoshan, but he disappeared. We know he's in the underworld, but it's too big for us to search so we can't find him."
I shook my head thinking about this whole thing. "All right, I'll go see Ahsoka and talk to her about this. Hopefully she'll use this information to tell the council they may have a traitor among them."
"We'll continue our search. We may have someone who can help us but we need to get to him before anyone else does," I nod as Dragon and Bo-Katan left to find their informant.
As I was ready to leave someone began to try contacting me, "What's up?"
Its Eve and she sounds worried, "James it's me, listen something bad happened. It's Ahsoka she has just been arrested for the murder of Letta."
I was shocked by what I just heard. Ahsoka was arrested? Oh man this isn't good. I needed to go to her to find out what happened, "Eve, can you get into the Republic Prison?"
"Yes, you aren't planning on breaking her out are you?" I knew breaking her out would make her look guilty, but if she needs me then I need to help her.
"Yes, but just be on standby and also find out what happened then get back to me understand?" I needed to know if Ahsoka intentionally killed Letta which I doubt or someone killed her then made it seem Ahsoka did it.
"Right away," I turned off my communicator and took off running from the building.
Prison (Ahsoka's pov)
I couldn't believe what just happened. Earlier I was at the Jedi temple with my friends and my master, then the next thing I know I'm here in a prison cell after Letta was killed. Letta called for me to see her. I didn't know why, but I was told she would only talk to me. I didn't know why just me, but whatever it was I went to go talk to her.
When I got there she told me alone in her cell that a Jedi was the real mastermind behind the attack. I didn't believe her until she began telling me how the Jedi felt the Jedi Order has changed and how the attack was to send a message to the order. I was about to get a name from her until she was killed. Someone or something used the Force to lift her then choke her to death. When the clones came in they thought I was behind the attack even when I told them I didn't do it.
It didn't matter since they had to arrest me. I don't know if this was a trap by the Jedi to bring me here so I can be arrested, but regardless I needed to get out and prove my innocence. I just hope my master arrives soon so I can talk to him. I still secretly have my communicator that James gave me.
He made sure it was made to keep any machine from detecting it, but I still couldn't use it since they have cameras in the cells so if I tried to contact James they'll know I have my communicator. Still I didn't want to risk James coming in to break me out. Ever since he broke out of jail they upgraded this prison to make it stronger than the other one.
The doors opened and I thought it was my master, till I saw it was Tarkin who was coming in. Well I could try to convince him I'm innocent, "Admiral Tarkin I don't know what happened. I went into the room to talk to Letta and she said she was afraid of a Jedi."
Tarkin revealed Letta's hat and tossed it to the corner of the cell, "You don't have to tell me anymore Commander Tano."
I was confused by what Tarkin said, "I don't?"
"No, there are recorders in every room," Tarkin reveals the hologram recording on what happened in the cell, "Curiously the sound wasn't working on this one. It seems the Jedi she was afraid of was you."
I knew that wasn't true, "I did not kill that woman."
"You were the only one here, who else could it have been?" Tarkin said as he continued interrogating me.
"I didn't kill her it was someone else, someone I didn't see," I kept trying to maintain my innocents knowing I didn't kill anyone.
"You know that is very difficult for me to believe," Tarkin knew someone else killing Letta was impossible since they checked and found no one else was anywhere near the room, "This is a secure facility. We don't just have anyone running about and if there was someone else, why did you not sense them?"
Tarkin went to grab my face, but I slapped it away, "I don't know, but I didn't do it."
Tarkin didn't say anything else and just left. As he left I began thinking on what Tarkin said. Why didn't I sense for whoever it was that killed Letta? If it was a Jedi then how can I prove it? They checked the cells around here and didn't find anyone, but the war criminals inside. So now what am I going to do? I sat down on my cell and knew I had to get out, but how?
Outside the Prison (James's pov)
I was far from the prison as I looked through my binoculars. I could see the place is very secured and getting Ahsoka out won't be as easy as when I got out. As I thought of a plan for this Bo-Katan and Dragon arrived with Dragon wearing his Mandalorian armor.
"You're late, where were you two?" I ask wondering why they took so long to get here.
"Sorry, had to get my armor on and pick you up this," Dragon handed me a jetpack, except when I grabbed it the jetpack felt light, "I made some modifications. The pack can carry you and extra passengers along with the fuel lasting longer than it used to. Plus it doesn't make loud noises like ours."
"Thanks, I'll be sure to put it to good use," I sigh as I look back at the prison, "I would contact Ahsoka since I'm betting they didn't take her communicator. Still if I try to call her and they find it they'll add to the charge of dating a criminal to the charge."
"Why don't we just blow our way to save her?" Bo-Katan suggested.
"Because then Mandalore will be in trouble and the Republic might think this is an act of war," I explained as I walk back and forth thinking of a plan, "I don't want Rose to get involved or the others since there are too many military soldiers around."
"And if they get captured then that would be a problem. Hey where are the others anyways?" Dragon ask wondering where Rose is or why she hasn't contacted James.
"I send her and Eric to find anything on Letta to see who she talked to. I send the twins to go find anything that can help us find out who is the Jedi traitor, and Eve is trying to hack into the Republic's security systems to find out anything on what happened in the prison cell," Eve explained to me a few minutes ago that the Republic's defenses was making it hard for her to hack into the prison and it would take her time.
"So, what do we do now?" Bo-Katan ask wondering what are they going to do.
"I'll think of something, just go help the twins stay out of trouble okay?" I wouldn't mind the extra hand, but I think the twins need more help than I do.
"You sure?" Dragon asks as I nodded, "Okay, well be careful."
Bo-Katan and Dragon took off while I look back at the prison. I sense something is coming, whatever it is I better be ready.
Ahsoka is in jail, James is trying to free her, and the others are off to try to free Ahsoka. But the question is will they be able to help Ahsoka be cleared of the charges that are set against her? Well you'll have to wait next time to find out won't you? Also yes I decided now to make the chapters involving the Ahsoka arc four parts like the four part episode arc, with some differences of course.
Please leave some reviews and let us know what you thought of the chapter. Nothing negative please if you didn't like it then don't leave a review. It's simple to understand that. Time for me to go and also hope everyone can be patient till the next chapter. Okay time to go take care everyone, be safe, and have a nice day.
