AN: It has been a little while since my last update but here is the next chapter. Also just a word of advice, anyone who has not watched the final season of Clone Wars should get on it. I finished the finale yesterday and it got me in a writing mood. There are no spoilers in this story for it but it just got me in the Star Wars mood. I hope you all enjoy it as I did and also hope you enjoy the newest chapter in my story.

Dark Disciple's Partner

Ahsoka and Asajj arrived on Tatooine again after returning from Thabeska. Finding out that Vos was being held at The Citadel was both good and bad news. Unfortunately, Asajj didn't spend any time there during her time as Dooku's apprentice. Ahsoka had infiltrated once before, but that is where the good news ends. They wouldn't be able to break in the same way as last time since the defenses would have been fixed from then and the defenses especially around the cliff that they had scaled.

That infiltration that had in the barest words been successful had been led by Obi Wan and Anakin as well as had several clones and Ahsoka. Then also Master Piell later on. They still lost several clones and a Jedi Master in the escape. This time it would only be Asajj and Ahsoka and a few bounty hunters. They would need to be smarter about getting in and out. On top of that there could be even worse guarding the base. Dooku, Grievous, or Barriss could be there considering it was a Jedi Master they personally captured.

Ahsoka and Asajj had thought through several scenarios of how to get on the planet to the base but had come up with nothing so far.

The two made the familiar walk to the Mos Eisley cantina they had been in just a week before. The three they met with plus a large robot that both bounty hunters knew to be Highsinger and a Kyuzo in a large circular metal hat. Everyone knew who Embo was. In the bounty hunter world he was rated up there among Cad Bane, Boba Fett, and not to seem too conceited but themselves (At least Asajj. They did a good job at keeping Ahsoka hidden.).

They moved to sit down at the table which had two empty seats. As the bounty hunter group had been waiting for them.

"Do you know where your man is being held?" Boba asked as they sat down at the table.

"According to a source of mine he was brought to the Citadel." Asajj answered while also ordering drinks for her and Ahsoka.

The bounty hunters looked up quickly at that. "You want to break someone out of the Citadel? It can't be done." Latts laughed, which was annoyingly high pitched.

"It has already been done once. It can be done again." Interjected Ahsoka who sat back a little happy that everyone shut up and looked at her quickly.

"What do you mean by that misssssy." Asked Bossk.

"I was a part of a mission about three years ago that broke into the Citadel." She answered.

"And you were successful?" The leader of the bounty hunters asked skeptically.

"Well…. Mostly. We went to rescue two prisoners that had important information for the Republic. The information was recovered as well as one of the prisoners. The other prisoner was able to give the information to me before he was killed during the escape." Ahsoka answered the inquiry.

"And how were you able to do that?" Boba asked. Trying to get the information about the defenses at the prison.

"First we had to reprogram some droids to fly in a supply ship so we could be frozen in carbonite since the prison has life sign sensors around the planet so no one could sneak up on them. Then when we got past the initial defenses around the planet, we had to land the ship into a cave and then had to trek across the terrain and climbed up a wall with a powerful wind blowing against it since there were defenses that detected equipment use." Ahsoka continued to outline the previous mission which was not a pleasant experience. Hind sight was 20/20 and Ahsoka no knew there was no way she had been ready for that kind of mission at the time she snuck onto the ship.

Boba nodded along during the mission retelling while figuring out how to do this. He knew there was no way they could use any of what had happened the first time as the defenses would be changed to make sure what the successful prison break did never happened.

When Ahsoka finished the story, they sat in silence for a minute.

"We can do it." Boba said finally. Everyone else looked to him surprised. They may have been some of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy but they were wary about what to do.

"Are you crazy!" Latts said next to him.

Boba smirked at her. He pulled out a piece of paper and put it on the table. "This is what we are going to do." They all looked at him while he outlined his plan to break into the most secure prison in the Separatist territory.

When he finished his plan the people on his team nodded along while both Asajj and Ahsoka looked on dubiously.

"While that is an, admittedly, good plan. It involves a large amount of trust on our side." Asajj added.

"Then you have to trust us or you can walk away." He shrugged and went back to his drink while Asajj and Ahsoka were thinking.

"We should do it." Ahsoka said.

Asajj turned to look at her quickly. "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Asajj nodded in response. Ahsoka had an uncanny ability to read people. Asajj had learned to start trusting it even if the logical part of her mind said it didn't make sense. But Asajj has known the Force wasn't logical.

"We are in." Asajj answered. Boba nodded.

Asajj and Ahsoka returned to their ship to get their gear for the mission and to make plans for the storage of their ship as they would be taking the Slave on the mission. Ahsoka and Asajj split up and tried to check with a few hangers for long term storage but they were all only temporary storage as Mos Eisley was a port that generally people got in and out of as quickly as possible and anyone else had their own private hangers.

Ahsoka sat down outside a food vendor getting annoyed with her failure. "Why can't I find anywhere to store the ship!"

*Cough*

Ahsoka turned around quickly and saw someone that was somewhat familiar.

"I couldn't help hear about you looking for a place to store a ship." The woman said.

"You're the person I bumped into last week. Beru? Right?" Ahsoka asked.

"Yes. Well I was just going to say if you have some credits, we have a storage area for our farm if you want to fly your ship out there. We can store it there if you want. Moisture farming has been a little slow this year and you seem nice enough." She said with a kind smile.

"I will have to talk to my partner first but that seems like a good idea." Ahsoka said in an upbeat tone at finally finding an option. Beru gave her coordinates to the farm and left to return home since her shopping was done.

Ahsoka returned to the ship and found and annoyed Asajj. "Did you find anything?" Asajj asked.

"I couldn't find a hanger, but then I bumped into that lady from last week who said we could rent out their warehouse on the farm." Ahsoka said.

Asajj nodded and had a relieved smile on her at hearing that. Asajj may not let it be known but her ship was very dear to her. It was the first thing she had truly earned and was not given to her.

The two flew over the farm and landed in the warehouse where Owen, Beru, and a man in a wheel chair was waiting for them.

"Hello, I am Cliegg Lars. This is my son Owen and his wife Beru who you have met." The man in the wheel chair introduced himself and offered a hand. He seemed nice if not a little rough around the edges.

"I am Ahsoka and this is my partner Asajj." Ahsoka took the offered hand. "Thank you for offering up your farm for us to store our ship. We have to be off planet for a couple weeks and can't take it with us." She offered not wanting to give away any details but also trying to nice to the people.

"Its no problem for us. And a few more credits for some of us stuck here is always helpful." The old man laughed. "Owen can bring you back to Mos Eisley in the speeder so you don't have to walk back." He offered.

"Of course." Asajj answered roughly. Keeping up her badass image in front of people she didn't know.

They were led out of the warehouse across the farm to where the speeder was. On their way there Ahsoka noticed something out of the corner of her eye. "What is that she pointed to something sticking out of the ground."

"That is my wife's grave." The old man stated in a somber tone. While the other two looked sad.

"I am so sorry! I didn't mean to bring it up." Ahsoka quickly said feeling bad.

"It's alright. She has been gone for a few years but it doesn't hurt any less when you lose the one you love. Shmi was an amazing woman. She was taken by Tusken Raiders." Cliegg replied.

Ahsoka scowled. She never dealt with Tusken raiders but she knew her master hated them. She was one of the few that knew Anakin was from here…. Shmi. That was Anakin's mothers name.

"Skywalker." Ahsoka mumbled and everyone looked at her in shock. For different reasons.

"What did you say?" The man in the wheel chair replied shocked.

"Shmi Skywalker. That was her name wasn't it." Ahsoka asked already knowing the answer.

"Yes. But how do you know that?" Owen was the one the ask quickly.

Ahsoka looked to Asajj. She trusted her one hundred percent but this wasn't her secrets but that was already out with her stating Shmi's last name.

"I am one of the only people that knows that Anakin was from Tatooine. And he once told me his mother's name was Shmi and that she was dead. And he has an unnatural hatred for Tusken raiders." Ahsoka answered honestly.

"How do you know my step-brother?" Owen asked.

Asajj sat by quite surprised. The secret of Anakin Skywalkers family would be valuable to the world and the just stumbled upon it. Although she would never to that to Ahsoka.

"I used to be a Jedi. I left for personal reasons, but Anakin was the one that trained me. He was like a protective older brother for me." She smiled at reminiscing.

"I only met him the once. He was here when she died with that woman Padme. After they left was around the time the Clone Wars started." Cliegg said. "How is he? I barely know him but he is family."

"I last saw him about two weeks ago. He is doing alright, but fighting in this war for as long as he has is tough." Ahsoka replied honestly. "But we do have to go unfortunately. We are on a time table." Ahsoka replied sadly.

"Of course. You be on your way and we can talk again in a few weeks." Cliegg said.

With that Owen drove the two of them back to Mos Eisley and dropped them off. The two of them walked to the hanger where Boba and the rest were waiting.

"What took so long?" He asked annoyed at waiting.

"We had to find a place to store our ship. Let's get going."

Boba Fett's ship arrived outside of The Citadel before being contacted. By the prison.

"Unauthorized ship. Return to where you came or you will be shot." Said a robotic voice over the comm.

"I have captured the wanted criminals to the Separatist's, Ahsoka Tano and Asajj Ventress. They are tricky prisoners and thought it would be best to bring them straight here so they wouldn't escape." Boba said back into the comm.

"Land on platform two." Said a different voice that was not a robot.

They proceeded to the landing zone. "You were correct on your guess. The warden is so full of himself that he would want one of the people that was able to cause the only prison break so bad that he would overlook how suspicious it is to bring any prisoner here directly." Asajj stated from behind Boba. She was in a chair with Ahsoka next to her with both of their hands in cuffs. "I am surprised you didn't try to capture us with that high of a bounty."

"How do you know that isn't what I am doing now?" Boba asked with an eyebrow raised. Asajj just shrugged.

Boba walked out with Embo, Latts, and the two prisoners in handcuffs. The warden of the prison walked out of the prison with several droids. He was a tall Phindian named Sobeck with a long grey face.

"I would say it is good to see you again Ms. Tano, but it won't be good for you." He laughed at her while she just scowled in her cuffs.

The warden turned to Boba Fett. "It is normal procedure to turn a bounty into a bounty office but considering these two probably would have escaped in transit it is probably best for all that they were brought directly here." Sobeck commented.

"That was my thought exactly. I don't need these two escaping and coming after me to get revenge. Now, about payment." He dropped off looking at the warden meaningfully.

"Of course, come to my office and I can take car of that for you." Sobeck said kindly. He was in a good mood getting such high-level prisoners.

"Embo. Latts. Go with the droids and make sure the prisoners get where they belong." Boba ordered and left with the giddy warden.

Highsinger and Bossk stayed on the ship to guard it while the other three went to complete the mission.

Boba entered the office with the warden who went to the safe to get the money to pay the bounty hunter. When he turned around Boba had his gun on him. "I actually have other plans." Boba smirked.

"You are going to show me which cell you are keeping Quinlan Vos." Sobeck frowned at that. It had been a set up. But there was nothing he could do.

He showed where in the prison Vos was located and then Boba relayed the information to Embo. Boba fired and killed Sobeck before using his codes in the computer system to deactivate the defense systems of the prison so they would be able to escape. He left the office and headed back to the ship.

Embo got the signal it was time to move. He nodded to Latts while he pressed a button that deactivated the cuffs around the two prisoners and took off his hat. He removed a panel which underneath held 4 light-sabers which he returned to the users.

Ahsoka and Asajj quickly dispatched the droids around them with the help of the two hunters.

"Do you know where we need to go." Asajj asked quickly know that the alarms would be sounding quickly.

Embo made a few sounds no one recognized before he pointed down a hallway to his left and started moving with the three others following quickly.

They encountered light resistance going through the halls before turning around the last corner to the cell they needed to get to only to find Barriss waiting with 20 droids.

"Did you really think it would be that easy?" She asked with snark.

"I am still wondering where the challenge is." Asajj asked back with a smirk as Barriss frowned. Asajj turned to the side where Ahsoka was standing. "I will take care of her. You free Vos since he probably won't go with me willingly. Embo and Latts. Can you to take care of the droids?"

Everyone nodded at the plan. Ahsoka ran directly at Barriss in what looked like a reckless charge. Barriss and Ahsoka activated their light-sabers at the same time and Barris went to stab at Ahsoka who dodged to the side and used her momentum to go right past Barriss and cut down 5 droids with her light-sabers before continuing down the hall to Vos's cell. Barriss turned to go after her but had to quickly block a overhead slash from two orange light-sabers.

"You will be fighting me." Asajj said with a grin. Blaster fire was going all around them as the two bounty hunters dealt with the 15 battle droids. Neither fired at the battling light-saber wielders in the hallway so they didn't hit their ally.

Ahsoka entered the cell that held Vos she found him shackled to the wall and unconscious. She used the force to unlock the shackles and woke him up.

"Where am I?" He said groggily.

"The Citadel." Ahsoka answered. "We are here to get you out."

"Ahsoka?" He looked confused for a second. "I got captured during the mission and Dooku brought me here." He stated as he was recollecting everything that happened.

"Yes. Just so you know Asajj is here too. But we are getting you out so no fighting with her." She said in her stern voice (which was not stern at all.).

He nodded. "I understand. Anything to get out of here."

"Can you walk?" Ahsoka asked.

Vos stood up shakily but nodded. The two left the cell and came out to see the fight just about over. The droids were down and Asajj blocked an attack to her side and used her free hand to force push Barriss into the wall and knocked her unconscious. Just then the alarm started going before Asajj could finish her off.

Ahsoka and Vos ran down the hall. "Lets hurry." Ahsoka shouted and the group of 5 rushed through the halls taking out droids as they made their way to the landing pad.

There they found Bossk, Boba, and Highsinger holding off 50 battle droids from the ramp up to the ship.

"Get up here already!" yelled Boba as the 8 of them got onto the ship and took off from the prison. With the defenses down it was easy from there.

In a hallway in the prison Barriss slowly regained her senses and stood up. She pulled out her communicator. And a hologram of Count Dooku appeared.

"Vos has been rescued from his cell my lord." Barriss said immediately.

"Was it Kenobi and Skywalker like we thought it would be?" Dooku asked.

Barriss smiled. "No. It was Ahsoka and Ventress."

"Hmm…. That doesn't matter. Everything is going according to plan. And soon enough my newest padawan will be in place when Darth Sidious's plan comes to fruition. The Jedi will fall and I will become Emperor of the galaxy. Not him." Dooku laughed.

Barriss laughed too. The hypocrites will fall.

Back on the ship Vos sat behind the bounty hunters and smiled. His eyes flashed yellow. Everything was going to his masters plan.
