"It's beautiful."

A woman wearing a black cloak spoke as Ahsoka approaches the stand that held a marble-like object. Its purple shades blended with light that surrounded it in its circle of darkness. Ahsoka didn't see the beauty in this object. No, her blue eyes glared down at the small floating glass with an empty expression.

Standing a few feet away from the stand, Ahsoka turns to look at the cloaked female, and the male standing next to her. A male with black eyes and blue skin that had been eyeing Ahsoka's rear for quite some time.

"Are you sure this is it?" Ahsoka asked the male in red.

"Positive lost some good friends getting that fucking book. Why would it lie about the location of this...thing?" He asked her before pointing to the object. "

"You do well not to talk badly about the book. You are very lucky Vader even let you get it." The cloaked woman growled.

"Lucky, for the money was paying, I would have destroyed a clone army for it." He chuckled.

Ahsoka, somewhat convinced, nods her head at him before grabbing it from its stand. Suddenly, the calm aura around the three changed. The warm air turned cold, a nasty smell began to flow in the area, and what was worse is the ground beneath them began to shake.

"What's happening?" The cloaked woman asked.

"The Stand was a life feeder! And she removed it! Now, this whole place is coming down!" The blue skin male shouted.

Ahsoka, staring at the marble, opens her mouth then swallows the object. With a loud gulp sound, the vibrations below their feet came to a halt. The air returned to its original temperature, while the nasty smell disappeared.

"Glad to see your swallowing skills have come in handy." The woman in the cloak chuckled. Ahsoka just rolled her eyes at the woman's comment before placing a hand on her stomach.

"Ugh, that felt weird." Ahsoka moaned in disgust before gagging a bit. She leans her head back a bit, closing her eyes to relax. Seconds later, she regains herself by looking at the two.

"Alrighty, back to Akua. Knowing Quin-Ja he's probably trying to keep Vader from destroying the planet." Ahsoka spoke before letting out a low chuckle.

"What about the Allicure?" The male asked as Ahsoka walks past him, not giving a care in the world as what she had just swallowed.

"As long as I stay away from the Nyx, I am fine," Ahsoka explains. "Now come on, we need to go meet up with the Bandits before come in. Last thing we need..."

Ahsoka tells the two before she began a long walk back the way she had come in. A maze of dark halls with only her lightsaber to light the way. A normal person would have gotten lost within 18 minutes to an hour, but thankfully Ahsoka companion was able to leave a trail behind them. Allowing them to exit the underground maze the were in.

Walking into the warm hair of the desert planet, the sand begins to fly towards Ahsoka's eyes, while the cloak figure hood falls down. Revealing a bald woman with black lines around her mouth. The male held on to his hat as the three continued to walk.

It was night time in the desert, but with darkness came beauty. The bleu moon shined above them, making the sand sparkle against the moonlight. As if they were walking on tiny pieces of gemstones. Ahsoka used her sleeve to shield her eyes from the sand, while her companies had eye protection already on.

The male behind Ahsoka lets out a low chuckle. Not because he enjoyed seeing her pain, although that was a little of it, he enjoy the view of her bottoms that were revealed thanks to the wind blowing up the bottom part of her skirt.

"GET BACK!" A voice shouted, causing the three to look over to the running male. A man wearing skin-tight black leather with silks wrapped around his waist shouted at the three. In his hand was a blaster, while around his stomach were holster that held multiple weapons. Ahsoka stares at the male for a second before her eyes widen in fear.

The winds had blown down a hill of sand, in the opposite direction of Ahsoka and her companions. As the sandhill flew into the sky, Ahsoka saw flames of horror. Her ship had been ambushed by galactic republic ships. Her men being slaughtered by clones and Jedi. Her ship, nothing but burning metal and black smoke.

"Oh no." Was all she could mutter before the male running towards her fell down just a few feet away. In haste, Ahsoka charges towards the male to save him, but it was too late. His head burst into red mush and stained the sand, leaving but a puddle of mushed brain. Blood flies straight onto her face and chest, causing Ahsoka to gasp and rub the blood off her body frantically.

"SHIT!" Her male companion shouted before running away from the ship. The cloaked female gasp at the fleeting male before looking back at Ahsoka. Well, only for a moment, her eyes went immediately to the corpse near her when she saw a blinking red light.

"AHSOKA!" The female shouted, causing Ahsoka to stop what she was doing to look down at the dead bandit. In only a split second, her eyes widen as a gasp escaped her lips. The next second, her view would just be red and yellow as flames engulfed her. The impact of the explosion caused not only the body to explode, but also cause the sand below them to part, making Ahsoka fall down.

The sand spreads everywhere, creating a large gash that even parted rocks below Ahsoka. In a split second, the young female found herself flying through the air. Her screams fill the night whistles as she falls to the sand. Her head, hitting the side of a rock at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Causing the young woman to close her eyes and go to sleep.

(Present)

"The Midnight Bandits?" Ahsoka asked as she stares down at a picture of what appeared to be a nightclub. She was looking over a large stack of things that Anakin and Padme had collected from republic archives and databases. Most of the pictures were of the building and the buildings around it, such as small businesses and call girls. Obi-wan, who had just entered the rook with Aayla, hands Ahsoka a cup of tea.

"This is their HQ," Anakin explained as he points down to the pictures. "They live on a planet called Akua."

"What's so special about them?" Ahsoka asked.

"Besides the fact that they are a bunch of followers of Vader?" Padme chuckled.

"What?" Ahsoka asked.

"No matter, you don't need to worry yourself Ahsoka. You will be fine!" Padme chuckled, causing both Anakin and Ahsoka to look at her with a confused expression.

"Oh, did I not mention why we have been educating her with these pictures?" Padme asked.

"You said to jog her memory," Anakin responded.

"Oh no, since the Midnight Bandits are here, we the senators decided to go to Akua." Padme giggled

"Your gonna send her alone!?" Anakin shouted.

"No, your going with her. And a couple of other Jedi." Padme explained with a smile on her face.

"So you want us to go into enemy territory and try to get information on Vader through the Midnight Bandits at their HQ?" Obi-wan asked.

"Yes," Padme responded as she nods her head.

"We're going to die." Aayla muttered.

"Uh..." Ahsoka spoke. "Who are the Midnight Bandits?"

"When Vader started out..." Obi-wan started. "The Midnight Bandits were a group of people who Vader recruited by telling them lies. He would brainwash these people then trained them to be killers, while others would go to other planets and recruit more followers for Vader. Eventually, they would be the ones to find the Death Star, Vader kingdom."

"All within the span of five years," Aayla muttered. Ahsoka glances at the female for a second before placing her cup down onto the table in front of her. Bitting down her bottom lip, she looks at Obi-wan to ask:

"May I ask who Vader is?" Ahsoka asked. Padme wasted no time answering that one.

"Your lover." She growled at the young woman. Ahsoka, looking back at Obi-wan, ask the question again, but differently:

"Who is Vader? Why does he want me back? And what did I do?" Ahsoka asked again. Obi-wan glances over to Anakin. With a slight nod, Obi-wan returns his attention back to Ahsoka.

"Vader is a savage man..." Obi-wan started. "We don't know where he comes from. Nor do we know his true face or intentions. What we do know, is that he is a powerful Jedi with many followers willing to die for him. He has traveled all over the galaxy, collecting humans to board his ship. From assassins to even farmers, he has over 1.3 million living beings in that ship alone."

"Why is he your enemy?" Ahsoka asked.

"Vader thinks the war between The Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems is a pointless war. He believes that the Sith and Jedi are the same. And surprisingly, many people agree with him, which is why he has so much support." Obi-wan explained.

"Why does he want me back? What did I do?" Ahsoka asked. Padme was about to open her mouth to respond, but was stopped by a glare from Aaya.

"You and him are indeed lovers. But that may also be our fault." Obi-wan explained. "When you were 16, you blame for a crime you did not commit. This led to being kicked out of the Jedi, while also standing trail that would lead to your death. After you proved your innocence, you were given a chance to come back to the Jedi. But you left, and that is when Vader captured you. I don't know what exactly happened in that place, but I know when you left, you were completely different."

"What do you mean?" Ahsoka asked. And just on cue, Padme chimes in.

"I can answer that!" She shouted. "You started wearing slutty clothes, hanging out with assassins, killing random people, and laughing at our pain and misery. All while sitting on Vader's lap! But the most disgusting thing you did was rape your own master."

"What?" Ahsoka spoke. Only for her words to ignored by Anakin furry. The tall male rises from his seat, eyes glaring at Padme as his eyebrow's bend down.

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY THAT!"

"I have every right to say that Anakin!" Padme shouted before looking over to Ahsoka. "Yes, you raped your master! You raped him and recorded him, then sent the video to my office! You sick, low, pathtic exist for a being!"

"I didn't..." Ahsoka spoke as she stares in horror at the woman.

"You did everything! And the fact that EVERYONE in the Jedi temple is considering letting you back in is ridiculous!"

"Padme please!" Obi-wan said in a loud stern voice.

"No!" She shouted. "Why in the force do you think her amnesia is permitted? For all, we know she is faking! For all we know, the Allucure story is fake!"

"Padme please stop-NO!" Padme shouted at Obi-wan before again turning her attention to Ahsoka.

"Your playing us! I know it, and I promise you, your not going to get away with it!" Padme shouted before walking over to the door. Stopping just as the door opens, she looks over to the group bark one final thing.

"We leave in 7 hours. Get readying, were going to meet the Bandits on their turf."

Kikkie: I always make Padme a villain, but the truth is she annoys me sometimes. I know this isn't my best writing and I am sorry, I will try harder next time. Just not feeling the best right now. I am just happy to finally explain the next part of this story. No, there will not be a sequel, however, there will be a major plot turn that will take the story in a new direction. And yes, I will explain the whole Darth and Anakin thing soon, so don't worry.

Anyway, thank you for reading, please review, wash your hands, and have a lovely day!
