Okay, we are finally at The Clone Wars. Yay! Well, technically it's the movie… Fortunately, we now get to meet Ahsoka. Also, this will be the last chapter I make until school starts. Hopefully, I'll manage to find some time to work on more chapters between classes. Fortunately, my class schedule is flexible enough. Finally, thanks to Ryu otsutsuki for the ideas in this chapter.


It had been six months since Anakin's knighting, and after many battles, the former student-master duo was stationed on Christophsis. Recently, they had managed to defeat Admiral Trench and expose Sergeant Slick's betrayal. Unlike last time, Slick did not destroy the munitions as Kenobi placed extra security in important areas. However, like last time, communications were on the fritz.

Presently, Obi-Wan was running up to the battlefield following Anakin.

"Looks like we were right." Anakin said as he watched the Droids advance.

"Alright men, second wave incoming." Obi-Wan told the Troopers.

"Rex, you and your men follow me!" Anakin ordered.

"Cody, battle positions!" Obi-Wan ordered his ground troops.

"Ready the cannons!" Cody ordered the artillery. "Up to the front!" Cody told his brothers as he signaled them to advance.

The Clone Army began to advance towards the droid army while simultaneously getting behind cover.

Blaster fire from both sides soared past the battlefield. The droids began to advance towards the clones as Republic cannon fire bombarded them.

Obi-Wan began to deflect incoming droid fire.

"General Skywalker should've attacked right now!" Cody shouted.

"Don't worry he knows the plan!" Obi-Wan reassured his commander.

With that said, Anakin, Rex, and a couple of Jet troopers jumped off of the building they were on. They landed on top their destination: the Octuptarra tri-droid.

Anakin began to cut down the droid as the Clones open fired upon it. The droid exploded into pieces as its debris landed below.

Anakin jumped to another tri-droid destroying it.

"Won't be long now until Loathsom will retreat." Ben informed his younger counterpart.

"How confident are you that this will play out like it did in your timeline?" Obi-Wan questioned.

"I'm reasonably confident that this will work like last time." Ben reassured. "Reasonably." He repeated.

A nearby blaster bolt nearly shot Obi-Wan in the face. He began to redirect blaster fire.

Obi-Wan began to charge towards the droids and cut a B2 in half before redirecting the fire from another one.

He looked up at one of the tri-droids, which Anakin was currently standing on. He reflected the blast from another one destroying it. Anakin jumped off of the one he was currently standing on and cut off its leg causing it to collapse.

"Retreat!" They heard a droid call out.

The droid advance began to halt and fall back to their side.

The Republic forces collectively began to breathe a sigh of relief. All except for Obi-Wan of course, who knew the very reason they were retreating.

Anakin took notice of this and was about to ask why Obi-Wan was being so tense when the engines of a transport ship could be overheard towards the landing area. The ship began its descent.

"Well, it looks like reinforcements have finally arrived," Anakin said.

"Something like that," Obi-Wan muttered to himself.

The loading ramp lowered revealing Ahsoka Tano, with a lightsaber strapped to her belt and a padawan braid behind her left ear. The Togrutan began to walk down the ramp.

Anakin's brow furrowed at the sight.

"A youngling? Who are you supposed to be?" He asked the girl.

"I'm Ahsoka Tano," She replied coming up to them. "Master Yoda sent me. He said it is urgent for you must get to the Jedi Temple immediately. There's an emergency."

"Well, I don't know if you've noticed, but we're in a bit of an emergency right here!" Anakin told her.

"Yes, unfortunately, our communications have been a bit unreliable, but we've been calling for help." Obi-Wan explained their situation.

"Master Yoda hasn't heard you, so he sent me to send you the message." Ahsoka informed.

Anakin sighed. "Great, they don't even know we're in trouble!" He complained.

"Maybe you could relay a signal through the cruiser that just dropped me off." Ahsoka suggested.

"Excellent idea." Obi-Wan said.


With all that said, the Jedi trio began to call Yularen's vessel.

"We're under attack by Separatist warships," The Clone officer informed them. "We'll try to get into contact with the Jedi temple." He added.

"Stand by!" The officer said.

"So Ahsoka is there any other reason, Master Yoda brought you out here?" Obi-Wan asked.

He knew the answer of course, but felt it was a good way of keeping his act up. Instead of just standing there in awkward silence.

"Yes, actually," She said feeling somewhat surprised. "I was brought here to begin my training as a Padawan."

"Looks like you have a new student, Master." Anakin said grinning.

He leaned closer to Ahsoka.

"Make sure to go easy on him, I've noticed a few strands of gray in his hair over the years." He jokingly whispered.

Obi-Wan's eyes narrowed.

"Should I tell him?" He asked his older-self.

"Do you want to?" Ben asked sounding amused.

"No, I think its best if he finds out." Obi-Wan said.

"Then might as well wait." Ben said.

Ahsoka was about to say something when Yoda appeared.

"Master Kenobi, glad I am that Ahsoka found you." He said.

"Master Yoda, we are trapped here and vastly outnumbered. We are in no position to go anywhere or do anything. Our support ships have all been destroyed." Obi-Wan said.

"Send reinforcements we will." Yoda said however his transmission was beginning to glitch.

"Master Yoda, what's going on?" Ahsoka asked.

The transmission was cut.

"We lost the transmission, sir!" The Clone officer informed them.

Suddenly, another group of Clone officers arrived.

"We'll have to leave orbit immediately." One of the officers said. "We'll get back to you as soon as we can." He reassured them.

"Well, I guess we'll have to hold out a little longer." Anakin said.

"My apologies, for the delay Ahsoka." Obi-Wan apologized. "You mentioned you were a new padawan learner. Whom were you assigned to learn from?" He asked.

Anakin tipped his head. "I thought she was assigned to you."

"Actually, Master Skywalker, Master Yoda assigned me under your tutelage." She said.

As soon as Ahsoka finished her sentence, Anakin's eyes opened and his posture stiffened. He closed both eyes and shook his head for a second.

"I'm sorry," He apologized. "What?" He asked.

Ahsoka rolled her eyes, "I'm your padawan." She bluntly said.

Anakin chuckled.

"This must be a mistake." Anakin said. "If anything," He continued pointing at Obi-Wan. "You were sent to learn from Obi-Wan." He protested.

"No, Master Yoda said I was assigned to Anakin Skywalker and he is to supervise my Jedi training." She argued.

"That doesn't make any sense!" Anakin argued.

"Careful, Anakin you're growing grey by the minute." Obi-Wan said rolling his eyes.

Anakin furrowed his eyes at Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan sighed and touched his temples. "We'll have to hold off on this debate later. It won't take long until the Droid Army figure out a way past our cannons." He brought up.

"I'll check with Rex at the lookup post." Anakin grumbled.

"Best take her with us." Ben said.

"I'll apologize later." He told his younger self.

Anakin sighed and walked away with Ben as Ahsoka followed them enthusiastically.

"This doesn't make any sense," Anakin thought. "Why would Yoda want to give me a Padawan?"


After a quiet walk and elevator ride, the Jedi trio had reached the lookup point.

"Captain." Ben called out getting the Clone's attention.

"What's the status, Rex?" Anakin asked.

"Quiet for now, sir. They're gearing up for another assault." The Clone informed them.

Rex reeled back as he noticed Ahsoka.

"Who's the youngling?" He asked.

"I'm Master Skywalker's Padawan." Ahsoka said as she corrected the Clone in a rather petulant manner. "The name's Ahsoka Tano." She introduced herself.

Despite his stoic expression, Rex was still confused.

"Sir, I thought you said you'd never have a Padawan?" He asked.

"There's been a mix-up, the youngling isn't with me." Anakin told him.

"Stop calling me that!" Ahsoka protested. "You're stuck with me, Skyguy." She added cheekily.

Anakin bristled at his new nickname and even more when it managed to elicit a chuckle from Rex. "What did you just call me?" He asked glowering. Ahsoka smiled at him mischievously gaining more of Anakin's ire.

"Don't get snippy with me young one." He warned the Togrutan. "Why don't you go with Rex and he can teach you about respect." Anakin told her.

Anakin could handle her previous back sass, but was not willing to take it in front of his own troops.

Rex was taken aback by Anakin's order, but went along with it anyway.

"Uh yeah, come along Youngling." Rex said.

"Padawan…" Ahsoka grumbled.

Anakin breathed a sigh of relief. He turned towards Ben expecting an amused smile, but rather found an observant look.

"What no witty remark at my expense?" Anakin rhetorically asked.

"No, I thought I'd give you some advice." Ben said.

Anakin grimaced. "Not you too, I already told you that I don't want a Padawan." He complained.

"While I understand your reluctance. Sometimes what you need in life is not something you'll always want." Ben said.

Ben sighed and rubbed his forehead. "That… and I fear that this is partially my fault." He added.

Anakin paused and his posture stiffened. "What?" His voice was barely seething and his eyes wide open.

"Oh, this not good…" Ben thought. His head began to pang from worry.

"I'm sorry Anakin for going over your head like that," He apologized. "But Master Yoda and I thought it would be for your best interest." Ben said.

"Master Yoda suggested it. I thought it would be a good idea." Ben brought up.

"Why?" Anakin asked trying to fight back a frown.

"He thought that taking on a padawan would help you as a Jedi." Ben said. "As did I, teaching is one of the greatest privileges a Jedi can have." He added.

Anakin sighed and rubbed his temples.

"I appreciate that you both wanted to help me, but never do something like that again." Anakin told him.

"I understand, and if you want I will talk to Master Yoda. I'll make sure to never do something like this again." Ben said. "I'd be willing to talk to Master Yoda and take Ahsoka under my wing." He added.

"Good." Anakin said before walking away.

"Great, another mistake." He thought.

"I do not see why you're so upset about this?" Obi-Wan questioned. "After all, you have experience with her." He brought up.

"I'm not the right teacher for her. Anakin is." Ben told him.


That's it; I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Sorry for the delay, I recently started school and ran into some writer's block regarding Ben's actions. I was afraid that it would come across as out of character. Granted, this is the same guy who hid Darth Vader's true identity from Luke. That and how Leia is actually his twin sister too. Still, I'm willing to make changes to this and the previous chapter if you think differently.
