"Fearing the unknown! With the battles of the Republic and Separatist continuing along of the Jedi aiding in the fight, the Wild Force continue to use their strange abilities as well that of their strength to help out in the efforts of war. Though not knowing that during the confrontation, the Jedi master's feel a presence slowly rising. A threat that could cause a disruption not from that of the Separatists or the Sith, something dark and mysterious."
Unknown planet-In a city
Across the plains of the world was that of a separatist base set up within a destroyed city. It was fortified with that of the cannons, several vulture droids as well a whole army of battle droids. At the top of the command tower was that of the leader of the army, he was a reptilian male in red garments. He was looking around the plains as well seeing that of half of his droids taking on the clone army below them. He was smirking at the sight of the battle happening, as well looking at the sky seeing no republic ships shooting at him.
"Ha! No matter how many clones they send, will blow them to kingdom come. This fort is barred with so much firepower it can tear about a republic cruiser, it will take a hundred Jedi to take this base down."
He spoke out as well feeling rather over confident, let alone how he was given so much firepower so that this planet would be under separatist control. One of the commander droids was using his binoculars to scan the area, as well saw something in the air.
"Sir, we have a visual on something descending from one of the ships."
A battle droid reported as the commander looked confused, grabbing the binocular from the machine. He looked threw the lenses to see what it was taking about, they looked like that of jetpack troopers going to try and surprise them.
"This is a insult, have the spiders shoot them out of the sky!"
Shouting to the droid as the battle droid ordered the droid to have the spider droids shoot the possible clones who were dropping down upon them. The long legged droids aimed their cannon's upwards as well tried to shoot them. Though as the laser bolts flew into the air, they missed. Along of saw how the people were still coming, to which the commander looks at the falling troopers confused why they weren't killed.
"They must be wearing some new armor, still no man will ever take this base."
The commander spoke out, as well how he looked much closer seeing something. A shield, it was someone holding a shield that was blocking the attacks as well how he wasn't alone. There were around two others with him, one was a female togruta along a yellow eyed being with long white ears. The commander moved back as the yellow eyed creature pulled out two pistols, laughing like mad man. He begun shooting at the droids around the separatist commander, as well forcing him to retreating. Landing on the ground was that of three individuals, which was Ahsoka along with Sparky and Ash.
"Told you they'd wouldn't expect three people. You two owe me some credits."
Ash stated as he looked around the side seeing that of battle droids coming, though Sparky hurls his shield at the droids which sent them off the tower. As well gives the hell rabbit a look on how there would be droids here. Looking at the ground was that of her master along with Captain Rex. To which they were being aided by the other members of the Wild Force as they were making there way to the tower.
"Master, we've made it to the tower. Commander is heading deep into the building, how you doing?"
Ahsoka asking Anakin who was on the ground floor, as well leading the troops against several of the droids who had their tanks out. Shooting at the troops as well overwhelming them with fire power, he was doing his best to protect the troops as well slash threw the droids.
"We're breaking through the enemy territory. Find the commander and take him, we need him alive."
Anakin giving her a order as rushed down the battlefield as well slashing across the droids, as he was continuing to help out his troops. He noticed that of droidekas rolling right towards him, he was about to force push them away into a wall. Though was stopped by that of a light brown being which was Kizaemon, pulling that of his sword from the side of his waist. The hamster slashed threw the rolling machines, cutting them in half as well of destroying them. Spinning his sword, he looked at Skywalker as well nods to him.
"I had them you know."
The jedi master telling Kizaemon as they looked over to the street seeing more droids appearing, along seeing that of Speed running right towards them. His running caused most of the droids to fall right apart, as well him dismantling them with his enhanced running. Stopping for a moment, he looked around seeing half of the droids be undone into bits and pieces.
"So tell me when this is over? Cause I'm kind of bored with these battle.."
The cheetah asking as well didn't noticed that of a rocket hitting him by his feet, sending him flying the feline hits the ground along tumbling. Shaking his head, he soon notices that of a super battle droid walking over. Aiming a rocket at him, it was stopped by several bolt shots. Rex, who was delivering the shoots continued to shoot the droid down until it was destroyed.
"You know for a cat who's faster then a bolt, your slow when it comes to your surroundings."
Rex spoke out at how the cheetah wasn't focusing on the fight, Speed getting up. He runs back out continuing the fight while on the side was Quackers, who was with Zena as they were by the tanks protecting them from heavy fire. The female Zygerrian looked at the top of the buildings noticing that of some vulture droids descending from a building coming right towards them
"Quackers? Do you have any new arrows for me?"
The archer asked as the duck nodded, whistling to a nearby trooper who had that of a pack of arrows. The clone tossed it to Quackers as well hands it to Zena, who checked out the custom made arrows.
"Not exactly a good place to test them out."
Quackers warning her about how a battlefield was no place for a experiment, Zena merely smirked at how he lacked imagination when it came to a fight. Grabbing one of the arrows, she pulled back on her bow. Zena fired that of the new arrow that Quackers made for her, flying into the air. The arrow struck right onto the head of the vulture droid, it slowly began to melt like magma as well caused the droid to crash into the other vulture droid, the two crashed right into the side of a building while the other one began to open fire on them.
"Get down!"
Shouting out loud as Quackers used his psionic abilities to generate a shield, he was able to stop the bolts. Though the force from the blasts made him grunt, making a opening for Zena. She fired another arrow which hits the wings of the droid, which caused a explosion. The vulture crashed by the side as Quackers held up the shield so that the wreckage didn't destroy the tanks.
"How far is it to the tower?"
Quackers asking the clone which it was a couple of minutes away, so far the droids had up their weaponry since their last time on the battlefield. Anakin, continuing to lead the charge towards the tower soon contacts Ahsoka to see what the progress was.
"Ahsoka, we're close to the front gates of the tower. You have the commander yet?"
Anakin asked while still battling the droids, while back the tower was of the two meta animals battling different types of droids. Along of battling there way to the commander, Ahsoka on the side. Was using her lightsabers to slash right threw any surprising battle droids that tried to ambush them.
"He ran down into the basement, possibly trying to escape. We're in route to him now."
Ahsoka responding to him on her wrist arm as well rushing with the two down the hallways, continuing to press on. They saw there were multiple corridors which could lead down to the basement.
"We should split up, I'll take center. Go left and right?"
Sparky suggesting that of a possible plan of how they should head out on their own directions to try and track down the commander. Ash, not answering merely nods as well takes the right corridor. Ahsoka, the left in which she wish Sparky good luck as the two head off. Going down the hallway, Ahsoka looked around seeing no other doorways that the commander could take. Continuing her walk, Ahsoka felt a bit fuzzy like if she was having a headache.
"I'm going need something to take after this chase."
Telling herself on how from how much fighting as well dodging from the droid's she has been dealing with. There hasn't been much time for her to collect her thoughts as well relax, continuing her search. Ahsoka, soon heard that of bolt blasting from the side. Quickly rushing over to see what was happening, Ahsoka's eyes widen to what she was seeing. Instead of being in a building, she saw herself on a battlefield. As well buildings on fire, bodies across the ground dead as well shot up.
"No, this. This doesn't make any..."
Ahsoka feeling scared at what was happening, as well not understanding what was going on. Soon enough she was hearing screaming all around her, turning above her she saw that of armored men and women battling each other. As well of innocents being caught in the cross fire. Looking forward she heard that of laughter, mad laughter as she rushed over to check out who was making the horrid sound. Noticing in front of her, was that of a cloaked figure. His eyes glowing yellow and were aiming directly at her, Ahsoka looked at the mysterious figure as it as it pulls out a blaster aiming right at her.
"Ahsoka!"
Spoke out interrupting the moment as she noticed to the side was Sparky, in which the trance Ahsoka was in was gone. Ahsoka saw herself back in the tower as the commander getting afraid. The padawan looked around saw that the 'bodies' were that of droids that Ash shot up.
"Hey get back here lizard lips, we just wanna talk that's all."
Ash speaking out to the commander as he chased after the separatist, while for Ahsoka. Looked confused at what she just saw in her mind, Sparky. Who moments ago saw Ahsoka merely walking out of her corridor trying to look for the commander. As well didn't notice that of the separatist about to shoot her, luckily he was able to get her out of the way.
"Is everything alright? You looked like a deer about to be run over?"
Sparky asking her looking concern on how he saw her, like if Ahsoka wasn't focusing on the situation. She merely nodded not saying anything to the masked robot as the two rushed over to join up with Ash. The pair soon saw that of Ash, who wasn't exactly in the best of spots seeing how the commander had that of several vulture droids aiding the reptile like man as well that of droidekas.
"So, this is the 'wild force' Grievous told me about? What a joke, I've conquered planets that had savage beasts than you. No matter, two dead animals and a Jedi will possibly make me well known to the general."
The separatist sounding confident as he had his droids ready to open fire, the three prepared themselves for a possible fight. As well didn't know how to react to this, though just before they could begin the fight. The wall behind them soon made a thumping sound.
"Well, maybe you can think about that with the rest of the team."
Sparky informing the commander as the separatist soon saw the wall behind him being blown up. It sent him to the ground as well the rocks crushed that of the droids that were aiding him, the smoke covered the opening as well how several bolts fired upon the droidekas destroying them. The commander, looked confused at what happened as well got up, though to hear that of a humming sound. Above him was that of Anakin, who had his lightsaber on as well waving it to him.
"This is where you surrender now."
The jedi master informing him as well making the commander merely whimper, slowly giving up. Rex got him up as well placed the male in cuffs, handing him to the other clones. He ordered them to take him to the ship.
"Sir, we're still seeing some droids trying to retreat. We're heading out."
Rex informing Skywalker as the jedi nods to him, he lets Rex take some of the men with him as they soon begun to look for any droids who would report this. As the battle seemed done, Anakin noticed that Ahsoka looked a bit shocked during the fight.
"Snips? You ok?"
Anakin asking her as he noticed his padawan looking rather disturbed during the heat of the fight. Looking to him as well the rest of the team, Ahsoka merely nodded not saying anything as she apparently had that of some kind of force vision.
"It's fine master, just need to see the medics. Just a bit tired from taking out droids left to right."
Responding back to her master as she walked passed him as well was going join up with that of Rex to see if he didn't need any help. Anakin along the rest of the wild force saw how she reacted, as well that something was off.
"Hito ga shizukana toki, soreha chinmoku shite iru toki ni kyōfu to koritsu o shimeshimasu."
Kizaemon speaking in Japanese, which translated to that of 'When a person is quiet, it shows fear and isolation when in silence'. While none of them would have trouble understanding what he say. Sparky could understand it, as well how something happened during them splitting up.
"Maybe it's been the stress of the fighting. After this we should be done right?"
Sparky suggesting on that the battles they've been engaging in has taken a toll on her, as well she was keeping to herself. Anakin, who felt what he was saying could be true. As well how this was the last separatist base to take down, they would be heading back to Coruscant to meet with the Chancellor to report on the activities of the separatist. The group soon head out to check if there was any information that the commander had in the tower or anything that Grievous might have informed him about.
Coruscant-Jedi Temple
After the attack on the Separatist commander, the Jedi as well Wild Force returned back to the temple for a bit of rest. Anakin went to inform the chancellor about there victory. While inside of the temple was Yoda in his mediation room, he was right now calming his mind to focus on the rest of the Jedi. Who were right now dealing with their own accords such as either fighting with different clone troopers across the system. Or that of seeing if there was any type of disturbance coming, his long ears slowly twitch as he felt a presence coming towards him.
"Enter, you may."
Yoda spoke out as the doors slide right open, showing Ahsoka who came in to see him. Coming inside she seats down in a form of attention, looking to Yoda. The small green jedi looked at the togruta who looked rather bothered.
"Trouble, you have been having Padawan Tano?"
He asked her as he was feeling a lot from the youngling, Ahsoka. Right felt confused at what happened during the engagement between them and the mission they were on.
"Yes master, I've had. During the fight as well looking for the commander, I somehow had. That of a vision."
She explained her case to Yoda about what happened, that during the moment of the chase. She had a force vision, Yoda. Could sense it as well sense her emotions, which was both frustrated as well confused. Yoda, used the force to hand her a small cup of tea for her to calm her mind which she accepts.
"Force vision, rare gift it is. Master it a few have, uncontrollable it is. Happens, when dire moments occurs. Your vision?"
He explained to her about a force ability that a few had, especially how it sometimes was uncontrollable as well would come in the most serious of situations. Ahsoka, realizing the words merely nodded as well explaining what she saw.
"It, looked so real. I saw buildings on fire, people dying. A fight going on in the air, though I saw one thing during the chaos. A cloaked man, I only saw a shadow. He made a laughter, a horrible laugh."
Ahsoka detailing the moment she had, as well how that it was still ringing in her head. Yoda, looked at how it felt real for her. Along that it was strong, Yoda felt disturbed by this as well knew something was wrong if a padawan would obtain this.
"Journey you had, with your master and Sparky. Fighting against 'Son', still remember you do?"
Asking her about the 'adventure' she had that involved her masters along Sparky journeying to that of Mortis. A planet with three representations of the force, the four only discussed this to Yoda due to how he was the wisest as well would listen to them without any doubt. Ahsoka, nodded him about her adventure as well thinking it was a dream.
"I do, about Son. Anakin proving himself as the chosen one, Sparky battling him as well having his body being torn apart. As well the light."
Telling him about the events of what happened, however. What she as well the others didn't tell him, was about Sparky admitting his feelings for her. Ahsoka kept it hidden since it was her secret, and didn't want the others to know. Only Anakin knew, Obi wan thought it was because of the moment. Yoda, seeing the stress in her along how this was to much for her.
"Vision, mean many things. Something to come later, or now. Matters now, planet. You remember?"
Thinking if she knew about the planet, this had Ahsoka on the spot on how it be possible to remember the world that vision started. The girl felt worried if it would happen again, nodding to him. Ahsoka closed her eyes, as well tried to use the force to try and remember the planet she was on.
"It was night time, there was lights all around me. The people, they had armor. Not like the clones or anyone else I've met. As well their helmets, they were grey and blue."
Describing what she saw, as well of what details that were present in front of her. Yoda, thinking of the description of what Ahsoka was presenting was able to piece it together. There was only one place where conflict would happen let alone of men and women would have that of suits of armor that they wear in combat.
"Mandalore."
Yoda figuring out where her vision was based on, along how that out of all the planets that she's been on plus the interactions Ahsoka has dealt with. Mandalore would be the one place she would see.
"The same world that the Jedi fought against during the old republic?"
She asked since before the start of the Clone Wars as well even the republic itself, the old republic along of it's Jedi and the Mandalorians were engaged into that of war which lasted for a few years. Yoda, nodded at how he remembered them as well how many lives were lost during the war.
"Relax you should, thoughts you must collect. Battling you have been doing for a while, recuperate your strength you must."
Insisting that Ahsoka should relax from how much fighting she's been, while Ahsoka may have experienced so much during her time being in the Jedi. She was still young, as well should make sure Ahsoka had enough rest for the rest of the war.
"Thank you master."
She thanked him as well finishing her tea, standing up she soon leaves the room letting Yoda think about what she told him. As well think about the planet, Mandalore wasn't affiliated with that of the Republic or Separatists. As well how they were having their own problems such as deathwatch. This needed to be discussed with the others, as if this planet was brought up then it be something they would need to be ready for.
Later in the hallways
With everyone taking it easy, Sparky was in the hallways feeling a bit worried for Ahsoka. So far between dealing with figuring out where Lord Evil was, trying to get the portal to start operational. As well making sure to assure his friends they'll be getting home, the one thing that's taken much of his focus was that of Ahsoka. He's never been in a relationship like this, he's seen it multiple times with others like this on earth.
"I have to trust her, she's a jedi. A peacekeeper of the galaxy, and. I'm a robot dog who is considered a superhero that, doesn't belong here."
Sparky thinking about what was different between him and Ahsoka, along how she had duties here. While he did say he cared for her, along of loved her. He didn't want to be in the way of Ahsoka's path to protecting the whole galaxy. Soon enough his thinking was interrupted by noticing Ahsoka who was coming up to him, the masked dog smiled seeing how she looked much better after being alone.
"Sparky, is it possible for us to talk. Alone?"
Asking for that of some isolation away from the Jedi as well anyone else who might notice them. The masked dog nodded as well that the two decided to find a place for them to be alone, knowing a good spot for them to be. They headed outside in the garden where the Jedi would ease their minds, seeing no one in sight. Ahsoka found a good spot where there was a bench for them to seat on. Sparky felt a bit concern of what was wrong, along of how there was look on her face.
"I need to know something, about the portal. Once it's fully operational as well able to take you back to earth. What's going happen, to us?"
Going straight for a question that would test their relationship, in which that if she was going have time to rest. It would be knowing what will happen between her and the dog, Sparky. Held his hands tight not knowing how to handle it, as well it was making him worried about what he say to her.
"I, just don't know Ahsoka. I really don't, because while getting to earth is. Important, me being with you is. I don't know what to say but amazing and, whatever I might say could hurt you or. Cause something to make us go against one another."
Sparky explaining in a honest way of how whatever he might say could hurt her, and the last thing that's happened between them as well their time being a relationship was hurting her with words. Ahsoka, merely had him look at her with her blue eyes as well looking at his white eyes in which wanted to know right now.
"The only thing I want to know, is what do you want."
Ahsoka asked straight out seeing that there was much more to what he was hiding. Sparky, lowering his ears and tails of how she was able to tell from the look on his face. Nodded, in which he removed his domino eye mask which soon caused his eyes to changed showing that of blue pupils. In which Ahsoka could see the expression of sadness in him.
"I just want you to be happy, as well become the Jedi you were destine to be. As well not have anyone get in the way, especially..."
Before he could continue, Ahsoka sealed him with a kiss which shuts him off. Sparky was surprised by it along of how she was able to shut him up. Stopping the kiss, Ahsoka looked at him with a confident look along of how he was being truthful to her.
"Whatever happens, I want it to happen with you. Either I'm a Jedi, or not. One thing for sure, is that I'm not letting you act stressed out. Neither of us being stress will get anything done."
Ahsoka assuring him whatever happens, she wasn't going let him go. As well let get miserable for a goal she was trying to achieve. Sparky, was surprised to hear her say that along how that while he wanted her to become a great Jedi like her master. She'd still stay with him, as the two were sharing their moment. Above them on one of the floor's was both Anakin and Obi wan who watched the scenery, as well happened to notice the kiss between them.
"So then, will you tell the council about this? Seeing how this could be wrong?"
Anakin asking Obi wan on how this relationship would be considered forbidden, let alone how this type of relationship could lead to the dark side. Kenobi, looked at Anakin at how he seemed pretty defensive at this moment.
"I went to speak with master Yoda, he told me about Ahsoka's vision. Along how Mandalore was brought up, and right now with the civil war that's happening. Along the lines of how, we both have history with Deathwatch."
Explaining about the vision Yoda told him about, had him concern over why that planet was brought up. Especially how that Kenobi, had that of a type of relationship with the Satine. While his Jedi duties were important as well wouldn't cast it away for anything, though the planet had a 'strong' presence for him.
"It be best, that we should turn our attention to the planet. Then that of the situation in front of us."
Obi wan stating it at how whatever Ahsoka had seen, should be looked into than what the two teens were doing right now. Turning away from the sight, Anakin slowly smiled behind his back at how Obi wan was able to ignore this moment of compassion between two beings from different planets. Along felt that of a strong emotion coming from Ahsoka, as well whatever the two were talking about. Could either help her in this war, or could lead down a path she might not be ready for. In which he had been in this same predicament with Padme, and would not let Ahsoka ending up like him with feeling doubt and fear.
May the fourth be with everyone, to the young and the old. As well to all Star Wars fans and everyone else who enjoy the series, there will be more to come in the next three chapters. See you soon~
