Bail, Ahsoka and his crew walked on board his platform rose to the surface of the Office Building and the Alderaan Star Cruiser took off and disappeared into the crisp morning sky.
Bail was greeted by Captain Antilles and two Alderaan troopers.
"Were you able to get hold of a Jedi homing beacon?" Bail asked.
"Yes, sir." Captain Antilles answered. "We've encountered no opposition. The clones are still a bit confused. It appears no one is in command."
"That will change soon." Bail turned to Ahsoka. "Hopefully we will be able to intercept a few Jedi before they walk into this catastrophe."
Ahsoka sighed. "I just hope we can find someone."
. . .
Obi-Wan didn't understand why his own clone troops were trying to kill him.
One minute he was on a varactyl, Boga, climbing to the top levels of Pau city in Utapau, then out of nowhere an AT-TE cannon blasted him and the varactyl and sent them plummeting into the lake at the bottom of the sinkhole. Before he reached the bottom he managed to get a glimpse of his clone troops firing at him.
Obi-Wan dove below the surface in the course of a hail of laser fire. He fumbled in his utility belt for a breathing device. He put it on and swam deeper underwater until the firing of blaster fire stopped.
He removed the breathing apparatus after coming up from underwater and started to climb the rock wall. Not far from him, he saw a group of clones, and Cody, his Clone Commander was one of them.
"Did you find Kenobi?" Cody asked a clone sergeant.
"Sir, no one could've survived that fall." The clone sergeant answered.
"Start loading your men onto the ships." Cody ordered. "Move it!"
He flew away from the planet Utapau in General Grievous' Starfighter. He activated the controls on the Starfighter and punched in several coordinates and codes.
A beeping code can be heard and it quickly sped up until it is a steady tone.
Obi-Wan spoke into the starfighter's radiocom. "Emergency Code Nine Thirteen. I have no contact on any frequency." He said. "Are there any Jedi out there? Anywhere?" He called.
Suddenly there was a burst of static and a fuzzy hologram image appeared.
"Kenobi..." A voice called from the hologram.
"I've locked on." Obi-Wan said. "Repeat."
The fuzzy hologram image came into focus, revealing two figures, a bearded Human male in senatorial apparel, and a young female Togruta.
"Master Kenobi?" Bail said in disbelief.
"Senator Organa!" Obi-Wan said in surprise.
"Master Obi-Wan, you're alive!" Ahsoka squealed.
"Ahsoka?" Obi-Wan said in disbelief. He shook his head. "My Clone Troops turned on me...I need help."
"We have just rescued Master Yoda." Bail reported. "It appears this ambush has happened everywhere. We're sending you our coordinates."
. . .
Obi-Wan docked his stolen fighter within Bail Organa's Starcruiser.
As the door to the main hallway slid open, Obi-Wan was greeted by three people, Bail Organa in his senatorial apparel; Grandmaster Yoda; and for some reason, Ahsoka Tano, Anakin's former apprentice.
"Obi-Wan!" Ahsoka rushed to him and wrapped him in a hug. "You made it!"
Obi-Wan couldn't help but smile and returned the same hug. "It's good to see you again, Ahsoka." He said.
"Master Kenobi," Yoda spoke up. "Dark times these are. Good to see you it is."
Bail gestured for them to follow him and the four of then walked down the hallway.
Obi-Wan turned to Yoda. "You were attacked by your Clones, also?" He asked.
"With the help of the Wookiees, barely escape, I did." Yoda said.
"How many other Jedi managed to survive?" Obi-Wan asked.
"We haven't heard from anyone." Ahsoka said sadly. "And things are worst at the Temple."
"I saw thousands of troops attack the Jedi Temple." Bail said. "That's why I went looking for Yoda but Clones won't let me in. Then I found Padawan Tano fending off troopers.
"Have we had any contact from the Temple?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Received a coded retreat message, we have." Yoda said.
"It requests all Jedi to return to the Temple." Bail said. "It says that the war is over."
"Well, then we must go back!" Obi-Wan insisted. "If there are other stragglers, they will fall into the trap and be killed."
"It's too dangerous to return." Bail said.
"Suggest dismantling the coded signal, do you?" Yoda asked.
"Yes, Master." Obi-Wan said. "There is too much at stake here, and we need a clearer picture of what has happened."
"I agree." Yoda said. "In a dark place we find ourselves...a little more knowledge might light our way."
Ahsoka flinched. "I don't like going back to the temple. Nothing can compare from what I've seen." She said. "But if it means helping the surviving Jedi from more danger, I'll go with you."
"To the temple we will go." Yoda concluded. "Find out the truth we must."
. . .
Bail Organa's Cruiser was heading toward Coruscant while they received a message.
Obi-Wan, Yoda, Ahsoka, Bail were in the cockpit while the pilot reported. "We are receiving a message from the Chancellor's office, sir." He reported.
"Send it through." Bail said.
"Yes, sir." The pilot obliged and pushed some buttons.
Mas Amedda's hologram appeared on screen.
"Senator Organa...the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic requests your presence at a special session of Congress." Mas Amedda said.
"Tell the Chancellor I will be there." Bail said.
"Very well. He will be expecting you." Mas Amedda's image disappeared from the screen.
Bail shook his head and turned to the three Jedi. "It could be a trap."
"No, I don't think so." Ahsoka spoke up. "The Chancellor won't be able to control thousands of star systems without keeping the Senate intact."
"Hmm, getting wiser you are, Padawan." Yoda said. "If a special session of Congress there is, easier for us to enter the Jedi Temple it will be."
