Chapter Thirty Six: You saw that too right?!

Author's note: Alright that I know of this is like the last of Lux for a while, but he will be back. Again let me know if you want a sequel and once I finish this one I will write it I promise.

After the rescue of Dendup he made a speech and Ahsoka took the holo-disk to a square dropping it onto the ground as it went off. The king made a speech about how he wasn't their king at all but a servant of Onderon. He went on to speak and Ahsoka turned and left, she wasn't supposed to be seen and in that cloak she felt that she looked stupid. She climbed up onto a few rooftops getting to where Lux was waiting on a large flying creature. He helped to pull her up and grabbed her wrist putting it on his front and her other followed as she held on in the comforting position for them both. The pair flew back to the rebel base camp that was now outside the city. Lux jumped off and helped Ahsoka down and he was ecstatic, they had seen the people attack a few of the droids.

"The people are turning against the droids!" He exclaimed and soon another fight happened between Steela and Saw. Steela said they couldn't fight door to door because innocent people would die. Saw argued that this was war and Dendup agreed with Steela which was backed by Ahsoka.

"The more you draw the droids from the city to the highlands, the safer the people will be" Ahsoka stated firmly her arms crossed and the General said he was awaiting orders. The king told him that Steela was now the commanding general in charge. Ahsoka smiled softly, she would give the girl advice as she looked terrified. She watched as Steela gave an order and Lux went to talk but she had already left and he shook his head. Lux called over his flying thing and helped to lift Ahsoka onto it. Steela came over and kissed him making Ahsoka wear a goofy grin and look away. Was she jealous maybe not but she missed Anakin. For whatever reason, Lux was a comfort for her. If he found someone to make him happy then great, Ahsoka would support him no matter what. The male watched Steela fly off and looked at Ahsoka flabbergasted and she only laughed and helped to pull him up.

"You saw that too right?!" he asked as they took off and Ahsoka held on, Lux had the same piloting skills as Anakin which meant hold on for your life. She gave him a playful punch in the shoulder and he looked at her with that same expression he always seemed to have towards her.

"Yes I did lover boy!" she laughed "Remember you have to focus." She said softly as they made up the rear of their flying fleet. Lux looked back at her and smiled

"You know you were my first kiss right?" he said and Ahsoka's eyes widened slightly

"I do now… even if it was a bit against my will." She teased and he sighed. Ahsoka kissed his cheek quickly smirking as he blushed. Steela noticed but knew that's how their friendship was and flew a little closer to them. Ahsoka smiled at the other girl

"He just gets all the ladies doesn't he!" Ahsoka joked and Steela laughed

"Like a true politician!" Steela replied before going to the front and Lux blushed. They flew and then stopped and prepared as the droids were getting towards where they were. They assumed there had been a scout or something that alerted them but they were ready. Ahsoka was wondering if she could break that rule of not helping yet. Saw attacked first and it began the firing of both sides. Steela, Ahsoka, and Lux watched on one of the peaks waiting for their time to fight or in Ahsoka's case either defend, do nothing, or get her ass chewed out by the council later. Then the second group starter their attack. Steela, from the ridge, started going all sniper on their ass' to shoot them down. Ahsoka watched and looked around making sure they were alright for the moment and sighed

"Why commando droids… I hate commando droids…" Ahsoka sighed and Lux looked at her

"More than aqua droids?" he smirked and Ahsoka cursed

"Right now yes." She stated simply. And watched as the rebels took out the droids they cheered but it was short lived as 4 ships came at them, they were droids and Ahsoka cursed a few times. "Why do they make new weapons?! What the fuck was wrong with the old ones?!" She cursed and watched the new weapons take out one of the rebels on the flying creatures. After they found them they started shooting but it was no use

"Any ideas!" Steela asked and Ahsoka looked at her

"Hell yeah, run!" she exclaimed and the three of them ran from the crazy thing. They jumped onto their flying creatures Lux pulling Ahsoka up behind him and Steela grabbing onto the leg of her as they fled. They were being either shot down or taken out by commando droids as they had no choice but to flee. Ahsoka contacted Obi-wan and Anakin and was told that they couldn't do anything and to evacuate who they could. She cursed in annoyance, what was she to do? Disobey an order or do what was right. She watched them retreat and pulled Steela and Lux with her. This was horrible, they were dying and the Republic couldn't send help unless someone else ruled the planet, it was considered an internal affair.

Anakin was pissed they needed help and Ahsoka looked worried he could hear all the blasts going off around them. He and Obi-wan made a plan to find another party to get involved and the only person they could think of that had missiles was Hondo. Anakin was desperate to help them and flew to Florrum to ask Hondo of course if the Pirate said no he would make him say yes. After a little bit of talking Anakin got Hondo to ship the missiles, illegally of course, to where they were needed.

Ahsoka and Lux took care of the injured and found out how many they lost. Ahsoka took some time to pay her respects and Lux joined in along with Steela, Saw, Dendup, the General, and some other rebels. They then made a plan and Steela said to use their training. Saw instead of butting heads with his little sister he complimented her.

"Ahsoka please you have to help us!" Lux begged as Saw and the General left.

"I will defend you but I cannot fight this war for you, you know that." She looked at him and he opened his mouth to speak but only glared and stalked off. Ahsoka cursed and Steela laughed lightly

"We wouldn't have gotten this far without you Ahsoka…"

"I wish I could do more and who knows, my Master doesn't always follow the rules…" she smirked and heard a noise then saw a ship. She ran out with Steela as they saw the ship open and supplied being carried out. "Don't shoot!" Ahsoka ordered and ran to see Hondo and all of his pirates unloading boxes.

"Ah you're Skywalker's Padawan Ahsoka wasn't it? He said I would find you here." Hondo said and Ahsoka sighed, what did Anakin do this time?

"What the hell do you want…" she sighed

"Don't be… what's the word he used…? Snippy! That's the word, don't be snippy my child, I bring a gift from Skywalker and Kenobi…" He said and proceeded to open boxes containing missiles. "Brand new and top of the line, very strong very expensive." Hondo said and Ahsoka didn't dare turn away from him

"Paid for?" she asked and he nodded

"Oh yes very handsomely also I was to deliver this, so old fashioned…" He handed Ahsoka a sealed letter and she looked at it strangely, she would read it later. Soon a shot was fired and Hondo looked to see commandos. "Oh would you look at the time, I have to go my work is done!" Hondo called and soon he left. They took out the patrol and Ahsoka smirked and shook her head.

"You know if he didn't just possibly save our ass' I would have kicked his." She stated and the other two looked at her. "He captured Obi-wan and Anakin once, and then the second time he was stealing from farmers, and now this…" she laughed "Does that make us even?" She asked and Lux laughed

"He owes you guys one." Lux told her and they loaded up with the rocket launchers. "Let's hope these work…" he said as they each carried a few.

"Only one way to find out." Ahsoka smirked and they started their new mission. They got down to Saw and the others walked with the launchers.

"We're target practice for them!" Saw said and Steela handed him one

"Thank the Jedi," she stated and Saw fired one hitting one of the ships sending it crashing to the ground and they cheered, Saw in turn laughed and smiled

"I love this!" He exclaimed and Ahsoka smiled. Soon Steela was told that they were attacking the next and were after the kind and the three went that way again. They started their attack Steela leading, she had flown off before Lux and Ahsoka did so she was ahead of them. She missed the first time but landed and hit the ship the second time. There were however two commando droids after the king and the few remaining rebels and she in turn went after them. Ahsoka and Lux landed and Ahsoka slashed at the droids, it was defense in her mind and that's how she would describe it. The others took out the ships and one went crashing towards Steela, she ducked with the king, and the ship started to skid along the ground knocking Ahsoka and Lux to the ground in the process. The rock Steela was on fell away and she pushed the king to safety and started hanging on for dear life. Lux ran trying to reach her and pull her up and Saw watched his little sister hanging there and went to try and help. Lux started to fall and Ahsoka pulled him up and then started to pull Steela up when the droid ship fired its last shot hitting Ahsoka in the arm making her lose her focus as she fell in pain. She fell back onto the ground as Lux shot the ship again and the Jedi gritted her teeth from the pain and then panicked. She stood up and looked around desperate, she had been centimeters from grabbing onto the other girl's hand she looked over the edge and her eyes watered. The pain in her shoulder was nothing to the pain she felt coming off of Lux in that moment and Ahsoka had no one to blame but herself. Lux dropped his blaster and sank to him knees and Ahsoka was too scared to turn and look at him but when she finally did he looked like he was about to cry at any moment. He was also angry and he had every right to be, he had every right to hate her, Ahsoka was pulling her up… if only she had been faster if only she had been stronger. Ahsoka pulled Lux up and they went down to the base. Once there Saw was holding his sister in his arms

"It's my fault, I shot that damn ship down… it went towards us…" he said his voice broken and Lux shook his head.

"It's not your fault; she knew what the risks were… we all knew what it would take…" Lux said and looked to see Ahsoka watching from the background. He gestured to her and she hesitantly walked over and knelt next to him. "Ahsoka it's not your fault either…" he said knowing she must had thought he was angry with her.

"I was so close to pulling her up…" Ahsoka whispered and Saw put a hand on her shoulder

"She knew that, and I don't blame you either, I blame the separatists." Saw assured her and Ahsoka's bottom lip quivered slightly and Lux put an arm around her shoulder to comfort her. Ahsoka hissed in pain as the adrenaline faded from her system. Lux looked at her and then her shoulder and moved his hand a little. The rest of the day Lux didn't move from her side as he cleaned and bandaged Ahsoka's shoulder, it wasn't too serious but it was enough to leave her arm immobile for a little while. Ahsoka hugged him and he returned it she felt him shutter in her embrace and she didn't let go.

A few days later Steela was given a burial with full honors and Anakin was there with Obi-wan as they watched Lux, Saw, and Ahsoka go up. Anakin didn't know Ahsoka had been hurt more than emotionally so seeing her shoulder all wrapped up was slightly shocking. Ahsoka and Lux talked and he put an arm around her, his hand on her good shoulder.

"It's alright Ahsoka, we freed Onderon and there was no way we could do it without you." He gave a soft smile and Ahsoka sighed

"But at what cost… you said once that many lived get caught between the Separatists and the Republic…"

"I did say that once, didn't I?" he said and Ahsoka looked at him and he was smirking or maybe smiling at her. "But after watching you, and the selflessness of the Jedi, the Republic is the right side to be on."

"What do you mean?" Ahsoka asked and he looked at her

"Dendup has made me the senator of Onderon, I will follow in my mother's footsteps, I will bring Onderon back into the Republic." He explained and Ahsoka smiled they listened for a little while longer and then it was time for them to split up, but not just yet. Lux had to go to Coruscant so he was joining the Jedi for the ride. Lux continued to stick very close to Ahsoka's side and Anakin glared at him. Obi-wan stopped Anakin and gave him a look

"I know you have very strong feelings for her Anakin but will you relax, Ahsoka and Lux both suffered a loss and they need the comfort of someone who was there." Obi-wan stated and Anakin sighed

"I know but I don't know what you mean by feelings." Anakin said and Obi-wan rolled his eyes as the two went to the cockpit.

"I'm not an idiot Anakin; I've seen you kiss her on more than one occasion. I do know there is something going on." Obi-wan said and Anakin looked away. "Like I said on Mortis, your secret is safe with me, now let them rest." Obi-wan told him and they left the planet.

Author's note: Well how was that eh? Hope you liked it, Obi-wan kinda already knew about them as I mentioned above on Mortis. So hm… I'm picturing the response Plo Koon or Shaak Ti would do… very interesting. Like I said I put little bits of Lux and Ahsoka cuteness because he is going to play a role later on and if you wish to see a sequel he will be in that too.
