Chapter 1
Ahsoka shivers at the bite of the harsh wind, snow and ice blowing into her face. She had long since lost feeling in her lekku and montrals, her orange skin beginning to turn purple from the cold. Unable to go any further, she collapses, her breathing ragged.
"Commander!" Rex yells, rushing to her side.
Ahsoka opens her eyes, unfocused and glassy. She gives Rex a faint smile, her eyes moving to lock with his.
"Commander! Ahsoka, stay with me! Just stay awake!" Rex begs.
Rex looks up as he suddenly hears a chopping sound splitting the silent air. Out of the gale of wind and snow two helicopters appear, approaching rapidly. Rex cautiously draws his pistols, standing over Ahsoka.
The helicopters slowly come to a landing on either side of them, soldiers pouring out, yelling. Having no other choice, Rex places his blasters on the ground, putting his hands in the air. The men force Rex to the ground, handcuffing both him and Ahsoka's unconscious form. They all load into the helicopters, taking off into the icy wind.
The lamp buzzes as the decorated officer takes a seat, "Your name and rank, please, and your country of origin. Let's start with those, shall we?" The officer asks.
"Tell me where Ahsoka is, and I'll answer your questions." Rex replies.
"I assume you're talking about the woman found with you. She is being taken care of, don't worry about her. Just some hypothermia, she's nearby. I must say, her weapons are quite impressive." He answers.
Rex nods, "My name is Rex, CT-7567. I am, or rather I was, Captain of the 501st Legion of the Grand Army of the Republic."
"Well Rex, that certainly sounds impressive, and while you could be lying, we don't have much choice but to believe you. Seeing as to how you came here with an alien girl, although you yourself seem quite human, we have many questions." The officer states.
"Questions I would be happy to answer if you would put me back with Ahsoka." Rex repeats.
The officer nods, "All in due time."
The man makes a hand motion and the door slams open, four men, armed, walk in. One steps forward and removes Rex's cuffs. He stands up, two men on each side of him. They escort him down multiple halls and into an elevator. They come to a white door, the officer opening it for him. Inside Rex sees Ahsoka's resting form breathing quietly, her skin color back to normal.
After hours of waiting, Ahsoka finally rises from her slumber, groaning. Looking around, she smiles when she sees Rex.
"Commander!" Rex gasps as he sees her awake.
"Hey, Rex. What happened? Where are we?" Ahsoka asks, her voice frail.
Smiling, Rex answers, "We crash landed here, you passed out from hypothermia. Not long after we were 'rescued' by these people. As for where we are, no clue."
The door swings open, the officer from before and a few nurses walking in. Instinctively, Ahsoka checks her hips for her lightsabers, her sapphire eyes darting to Rex when her search comes up empty. Rex shakes his head, shrugging.
"Ahsoka, is it?" The officer asks, the nurses moving to check her vitals.
Ahsoka nods, "Yes, why?" she asks.
"My name is Major Preston Parker. I'm in charge of this facility. At approximately 0300 hours yesterday morning a foreign object entered our atmosphere over Antarctica. You two were on it. We rescued you around three hours later. As you can imagine, we have some questions. Lucky for us, it seems you both speak English." Major Parker finishes.
"First question, your name, rank, and place of origin." Parker asks.
"My name is Ahsoka Tano, former commander of the 501st Legion of the Grand Army of the Republic. I'm from Coruscant if it counts, I spent more time elsewhere, really. Where are we?" Ahsoka replies.
"While I would answer with a more specific location, given the circumstances, you are on the planet Earth." He responds.
Ahsoka glances at Rex, both wearing the same confused expression. Major Parker frowns, not liking where this is going.
"Does Milky Way galaxy help any?" Parker adds.
After a few moments of thought, Rex and Ahsoka both slowly shake their heads. Rex turns his head to Ahsoka, eyes wide.
"So, you two are from a different galaxy? A galaxy hosting a galactic republic?" The Major asks.
"Yeah, although I get the feeling it just fell to an empire." Rex answers.
'If you don't mind me asking, how old are you two? You both seem young to be ranked as high as you are."
Ahsoka looks up, "I'm seventeen. I was first thrust into the war at the age of fourteen."
"Technically, I'm fourteen, but with the growth acceleration I'm about twenty-eight." Rex answers.
"You're both teenagers?" Parker asks, shocked.
Ahsoka nods, one of the nurses checking her blood pressure.
"Ma'am, if I may, what does your blood pressure normally run?" A nurse asks.
"A little higher than humans." Ahsoka replies kindly.
The nurse nods, taking notes.
"So, Major Parker, any chance you're going to let us out of here, or are we going to have to fight our way out?" Rex asks.
The Major chuckles, "I'd like to see you try. This is one of the most secure facilities on the planet."
"You'd be surprised how many times I've heard that." Ahsoka states, the Major's pistol unholstering itself and flying into her hands.
"The f- How did you?" Parker asks, amazed.
"Where are my lightsabers?" Ahsoka asks, stepping out of bed.
"I'm afraid we can't let go of those." Major Parker states.
"I'm afraid I wasn't asking." Ahsoka replies, her crystal blue eyes shining defiantly. She tosses his gun back to him.
"Walk and talk, Major?" Ahsoka asks, walking past him and out the door. Parker stands still for several moments, still trying to comprehend what just happened. He hears his superiors' words echo in his head. Keep them on our side. He groans internally, Rex patting him on the shoulder, following Ahsoka.
