Ahsoka and Asajj landed on Malachor near the temple they had been to before. They found the entrance and made their way through the temple back to where they had found Revan the last time through. They once again had the weird feeling that led them to the secret room in the center of the temple.

They arrived and saw the table that had held the holo-table of Revan was still fried. They passed it by and went to the library with all the ancient texts of force abilities. Asajj left to browse through a few of the areas to try and find anything more on force abilities as last time they were here they only gathered a few basics on the Force and mostly gathered information on light-saber forms.

Ahsoka found a holo terminal and went to work analyzing the chip Anakin gave her. Ahsoka was able to access the chip fairly easily. Thanks to its small size, there is only so much that could be on it and the security on the chip was focused on remote access. Apparently, whoever designed it thought it was unlikely that anyone would open up a clone's head.

What Ahsoka found when she opened up the files on the chip was disturbing. She went through all of them and found it to be a list of 100 different directives that could override a clone's own decision-making center. Basically, this chip could turn every clone into a programmable droid. That was a terrifying thought.

What was the most terrifying though, was the pre-loaded directives or numbered orders. Some of them were somewhat understandable even if the idea was inhumane. But several of the orders that were put into the clones. Ahsoka went over the ones that terrified her the most and highlighted them for the report she would be sending to Anakin.

Order 26: Seek and assassinate every Senator in the Republic for treason.

Order 34: Place bombs and destroy all Jedi Temples.

Order 52: Execute every prisoner of war currently in custody.

Order 66: Find and kill every Jedi or anyone associated with the Jedi temple.

Order 83: Kill any reigning power on a specified planet.

Order 99: Attack any and all citizens of nearby cities.

Ahsoka was worried about how the Kaminoans had programmed every clone with this. There were millions of them all over the galaxy. And there was someone high ranking backing them up. The clones needed to have this removed immediately.

That was when Ahsoka noticed a single terrifying fact at the bottom of the code. The chip's code stated that the only person that could even activate any of these orders was Sheev Palpatine. It would make sense since he is the Chancellor, but it would make more sense if the order was to be followed by The Chancellor rather than his name. It would mean that he could activate the orders if he was kicked from office and the new chancellor couldn't. And worst of all is that these chips had to have been implanted close to birth. Ahsoka knew that Rex was one of the first batches and was born in 31 BBY. This meant that this chip was implanted 9 years before the Republic supposedly found out about the Clone Army.

If Palpatine was behind the plot to hide this information it could mean he was in league with the Separatists. Ahsoka had heard that the Clone Army was secretly commissioned by Jedi Master Sifo-Diyas. Ahsoka remembered hearing a rumor that Sifo-Diyas was close with Dooku. If the Clone Army has been a plot this entire time and Palpatine was working with the Sith… Then this entire war has been a fabrication to get the Clone Army where they want it….. Next to every single Jedi in the galaxy.

Ahsoka's eyes zeroed in on Order 66 and she gulped.

She wanted to get this to the Jedi council, but if there was a traitor like she thought, then that meant the Chancellor could activate it before they could react in time.

"Hey." Came Asajj's voice suddenly from behind her. Ahsoka jumped 10 feet in the air. (Not an exaggeration. She really did jump 10 feet in the air.) Ahsoka had forgotten where she was.

"You scared me." Ahsoka said after she landed holding a hand over her heart.

Asajj shrugged. "You looked like you saw a ghost."

Ahsoka shuddered as she went back to the terminal. "We will all be a ghost if we don't figure this out." Ahsoka gestured to the information she had up along with the highlights she had set aside.

Asajj looked it over while paling even more than her natural color. "That…. How is this even real?"

"I know. Palpatine has to be working with the Sith." Ahsoka said worriedly. At any point in time the Jedi could be sent into extinction.

Asajj shook her head. "You don't understand. Dooku said that his master had everyone fooled. That his master was right under the Jedi's nose and they didn't even know it. Ahsoka, I think Palpatine is Darth Sidious." Asajj confessed gravely.

"You are correct." Came a familiar voice from behind them.

"Revan?" Ahsoka asked confused. He had the look of a holo image like before except he was standing on the ground and the holo-table they had used before had shorted out.

"Yes." Revan answered calmly.

"You are not a holo are you?" Asajj asked coming to the same conclusion as Ahsoka.

"No. I am a Force ghost. Some of those that are strong enough in the Force are able to keep our individuality within the Force and appear to those amongst the living to teach and pass our knowledge a long." He informed them.

"While that is interesting and would be something cool to learn, I think it would be more important to explain why you are here and what the knowledge you wish to pass on its." Asajj pointed out.

Revan smiled. "Yes. When you first came here, it was explained to you why you were chosen to come here and learn what I have. That you two were two people who could learn to walk in the middle. That there is more to the Force than dark and light….. That was only partially true." Ahsoka and Asajj narrowed their eyes at the cryptic ghost in front of them. They have had enough of people lying and using them. "It is true for one of the reasons but not the whole reason. Did you two really think that you two were the only ones in nearly 4000 years?"

The two of them looked a little abashed but still annoyed.

"I have sworn to destroy the Emperor of the Sith during my time. The wars between the Sith and Jedi were brutal, but the Sith Emperor was on another level. Vitiate was a monster that manipulated not only the Sith, but the Jedi as well. He played all sides to take over the galaxy. He may have got away with it if he had not been exposed. Palpatine has been on the rise. He worked his way to the head of the Republic without suspicion and is posed to end the war and bring the entire galaxy under his control. That chip you posses will make it so he can get rid of the Jedi with it. I have sworn to destroy the Sith Emperor and the reason you are here is because there is a new one to destroy and I will need you two to help do it." Revan explained.

Ahsoka and Asajj were surprised. Ahsoka had heard the stories about Vitiate. To think that Palpatine is on his level is terrifying. And worse is that Revan expects her to go up against something like that.

"What about Anakin?" She asked suddenly. "He was supposed to be the chosen one. The one to bring balance to the Force." She asked a little desperately.

Revan looked to Ahsoka in an understanding manner. "I know. Anakin is destined to bring balance like I was destined to destroy the Sith. Anakin is far too much like me and I am afraid he is precariously close to following the same path. My power was impressive and surpassed the Jedi. They feared me and used me as their weapon at the same time. They do that to Skywalker now. Vitiate captured me and used me as his weapon as well. From what I can tell Skywalker is on that path now."

"Anakin would never turn dark!" Ahsoka argued.

Revan looked at her with pity. "Between the fact that the council exiled you with out evidence and everything going on with the Senator, do you really think that he wouldn't leave the order. Palpatine has been such a kind and trustworthy confidant, hasn't he?" Revan said knowingly.

Ahsoka's jaw dropped open in horror. "The trial. It felt like Palpatine wanted me executed. He wanted me gone. It was fixed. He wants to isolate Anakin and turn him against the Jedi. That's why he hasn't done it yet. Anakin isn't ready yet." Ahsoka mumbled.

"What are you talking about?" Asajj asked.

"Palpatine want's the chosen one under his control." Ahsoka bit out. "The clones have been in position to wipe out the Jedi for 3 years. He could have activated it anytime he wants. He is grooming Anakin and turning him against the Jedi." Ahsoka explained.

"Yes. Anakin is destined to bring balance. I, with the help of you two are going to make sure that the galaxy doesn't go through the same destruction it went through to bring balance when I was alive." Revan explained.

Ahsoka looked questioning to her partner as they sat in the room full of information. Asajj knew what they were going to have to do now. "We have some serious training to do."

The two of them had learned a lot and gotten much stronger, but they would not be able to contend against someone that was Dooku's master.

Ahsoka called Anakin about the chip first. It would be a long process to remove the chips from the clones. Especially since they needed to do it secretly. Ahsoka couldn't tell Anakin about Palpatine though.

"Did you look it over?" Anakin asked instantly answering the communication.

"Yes. It is a control chip. It takes away their free will. There is a specific program on there telling the clones to kill all Jedi. Tup's chip didn't malfunction. It went off prematurely." Ahsoka explained gravely.

Anakin's face went through many emotions. And was about to say something. Before Ahsoka shut him up.

"Fives was killed when he almost exposed this Anakin. You can't talk to anyone about this. Get everyone in the 501st to remove the chip. Have Kix extract them without anyone knowing. Get the Jedi you trust to do it with their troops as well." She told him.

Anakin looked a little uncertain. "How could this happen?" He asked

"The Clone Armies construction was always a mystery. The Kaminoans claimed Sifo-Diyas commissioned it, but no one knows what happened to him." Ahsoka explained feeling bad about stretching the truth to her former faster. "The Kaminoans are obviously a part of this. But if they are a part of this, they are working for someone. Someone who had power in the Republic to cover it up. Someone who could be in league with Dooku."

"And they could have a button that could gain an Army, Destroy the Jedi, and take the Republic." He said in shock.

Ahsoka nodded in agreement.

He got an angry look. "We need to go to Kamino to find out who is behind this."

"No!" She shouted urgently surprising him. "If you do that it could tip them off. If they activate the chip we are done. You need to remove them from the clones first. Get as many out as you can as discreetly as you can. Talk to Obi-Wan. He would agree."

Ahsoka didn't think she and Obi-Wan were as close as they once were, but she had no suspicions that he was a traitor and secretly a Sith.

"Fine." He agreed. Finding it weird he was taking direction from his former padawan.

"Call me if you need anything. I can help with whatever is coming. I don't think this war will last much longer." Ahsoka said worryingly. "I don't know if that is a good thing."

The call ended before returning to the library where Asajj had gathered ancient texts to study. She noticed Ahsoka arriving and looked up. "I grabbed what I figure would be most useful. If we plan on going up against a Sith Lord, we need to perfect our light-saber techniques as well as learn how to combat force techniques common to the Sith."

Ahsoka nodded in agreement. Ahsoka had barely started on working on the techniques of Trakata. It was a technique that was really good at catching opponents off guard. If Palpatine was really as powerful as they were being led to believe, then it is likely that they wouldn't be stronger than him with the practice. They needed to out think and out trick and evil mastermind that had the entire galaxy in their pocket.

There was another ability that Ahsoka always thought was interesting and wanted to learn as well. That was the ability to manipulate a light-saber with Force telekinesis. Most Jedi could use this in a basic sense such as calling it to them or throwing it. Ahsoka wanted to learn it to a level approaching Darth Traya.

Asajj delved deeper into refining her style of Makashi and Jar'Kai. She also studied techniques of the Sith that involved using the dark side of the Force to infect those around them. Revan mentioned how Vitiate was able to turn him and almost possess him and use him as a puppet. Asajj wanted to make sure she knew how to combat that so it wouldn't happen to her and maybe then she could stop those around her from falling to the same fate.

They practice dueling against each other every day with Revan overseeing them and giving them tips on how to improve. He pointed out openings in each of their forms

It was two months of training later that they received a transmission from Anakin. They knew that this would be the beginning of what would either save or destroy the Republic. And Ahsoka wasn't exactly sure which one she was working for.

Anakin appeared to be angry when he was revealed on the holo. "Dooku has been captured."

AN: New chapter is up. I decided not to spend to much time on the training this time around. Starting next chapter aligns with the beginning of Revenge of the Sith. And before anyone asks why Dooku is captured instead of killed. It will be explained in the next chapter.
