Planet-Thessia. Location unknown.
Garrus vakerian was staring at the sky as the sun started to rise. His night shift was almost over and no reaper has been spotted thus far. He decided to sit down and ponder. How many years had it been sins those cursed creatures attacked. He had lost count several years ago. All he knew was that he was still a young child when it all started. And that he and his family were on vacation.
At that moment his girlfriend. Liara t'soni walked up to him. She held him in an embrace from behind and gave him a peck on the cheek. Before she sat down next to him. '' what are you thinking about?'' Garrus grumbled. '' I was pondering on how long it has been sins the reapers attacked. Honestly I've lost count on how many years. Can you still remember?''
Liara looked to the ground. ''hmmm I'm not certain but I believe 64 years I remember myself being 42 when this all started.'' Garrus nodded. Yea I forgot you're almost 50 years older than me. Only thing I can remember is that we were on vacation. I never thought that it would become my permanent home and grave.
Liara nodded. '' yea I know what you mean. I was about to study the humans on the observatory on mars when they attacked. It might sound silly but I am wondering if the reapers attacked them. Last big thing we heard was that they dropped a nuke to end a worldwide war they had.''
Garrus scratched his chin. '' no I don't think so. They hadn't achieved space flight yet.'' Liara nodded. '' yea I hope your right. They might be the once capable of destroying the reapers next cycle. '' '' if they're not going to kill themselves. Or already have.'''
'' yea… well we'll never know. We should discuss plans though, on where to head next. We simply can't stay here.'' A second assari named yatha walked up to them. '' on that. I've heard rumors that there is a bunker underneath the ground some were in this area.'' She pointed 20 kilometer from their current position. And it was on the outskirts of the city.'' It is said that it has the capability to house over two hundred thousand people.''
Liara looked at Garrus. He nodded. ''It's a big risk. Yatha do you think that It's worth a shot?'' she nodded. '' yes besides what other option do we have?
Garrus looked up as a reaper ship flew overhead and landed a few miles ahead. '' here they come again.'' He said to liara. While she was treating a wounded quarrian. Her name was Tali zorah. She crashed 5 days ago. Liara looked worried. '' we can't move her. She'll die if we do.'' '' and we'll die if we stay here. We have to risk it. I don't like it either.''
Liara sighed. '' your right. We've only ten people left we've got to move.'' She picked up tali and went to the group. '' everyone listen up. They've spotted us we have to move.'' Yatha. Looked worried. '' where are we going?'' she asked as Garrus joined them. '' there is a hidden bunker 15 miles from here. If we can get there we'll be save. But we have to be stealthy. We move in 2 groups of five. Kiul, Irthy, Nulixa, samara, Ereba. Your group one. Chai, yatha. You're with me and Liara. Your main objective is to survive. If either of us fall leave us. Alright move out.''
Everyone left for the hidden bunker. Chai was shaking in her boots. She was just 34. Her parents died and she just found the group. Yatha looked worried at her. '' chai are you alright?'' she shook her head. '' n-no not really.'' Garrus placed a hand on her shoulder. '' you'll make it I promise. For now just stick close to yatha and follow her lead.''
This gave chai some courage she took a gun and readied herself. Awaiting the signal. Yatha stood next to her. '' well here we go.'' Garrus fired a shot. '' everyone move! Go. Go! GO!'' suddenly they all moved forward. As reaper moved behind them. Garrus turned around and shot them down. '' damn reapers.'' He cursed.
They had made a short dash to the next building. That was how they needed to move around now. From building to building. From house to house. They knew that they would need to fight for every meter. But that was how it is these days. They took a small rest to catch their breath.
For now things were going good they've managed to make 500 meters with minimal resistance. But he knew that wouldn't stay for long. Soon the reapers would catch up than it would be very hard to even gain as much as a meter suddenly they heard a loud noise.
As Garrus looked aside he saw a horde of reapers moving just in the way then needed to go. Garrus grunted. If they moved now they could be spotted and killed but if they waited than. Their pursuers could catch up and they would be stuck in crossfire. They would be death for sure if that happened. He looked at chai. Even though they were the same age. She was still a child. And he wasn't.
He then looked at the quarrian whose name he didn't know. And to liara. '' I'm going to get their attention. You guys make a run for it.'' He said liara looked shocked. '' b-but they'll kill you.'' Garrus sighed. '' most likely yes. But at least you guys still stand a chance.''
With that he grabbed his sniper rifle and walked away from cover. He shot some reaper as he ran from the group liara waited until the reapers were gone and after Garrus. With that they moved forward.
Garrus cached his breath behind a pillar. He could hear the gunshots from the reapers. He guessed that there where at least a group of 75 Reapers. He closed his eyes and readied himself. As the reapers closed in.

Ahsoka sad on the couch eating her breakfast. It was grilled bacon. It was certainly her favorite food here it didn't take long before Raoul came down. He made his breakfast and placed it on the table. He flexed his jaw a few times. Feeling it out. '' I really think you dislocated it last night.'' He said as he took a plate and started eating.
Ahsoka gave a concerned look. '' I'm sorry. Are you okay? Do you need healing?'' Raoul shook his head. '' nah I'm fine. It just hurts a little it will be fine eventually. So ready for today?'' Ahsoka wasn't really sure. If she was honest. She has never been past the city borders. After the hunting trip. And now she would leave the country. To meet up with an apparently very important person. '' I am a little tense. I know this is a big deal.''
Raoul gave her a nervous grin. '' to be honest I would also be lying if I'd said that I wasn't a little nervous.'' Ahsoka gave a kind smile at him. '' so how do you want to travel?'' Raoul mustered. '' we could take a private jet.'' Ahsoka smiled. '' sounds like a plan.'' Raoul nodded and made a quick phone call. Ahsoka in the meantime stood up and went to put the plates in the dishwasher. She used the force to grab a glass of water.
At that moment. Duncan came in. '' you know Ahoska I'm still amazed by how you do that all the time.'' Ahsoka smiled. '' it's simple honestly. I actually don't know how to tell it. You just do it I guess. It's a normal thing for me.'' Duncan nodded. '' but there got to be some drawbacks aren't there? '' Ahsoka nodded. '' yes there are. Such as spilt personality. Every force sensitive have a cool calm, kind and selfless side. But also a hard, cold, cruel and egotistical side. Depending on what side of the force your one. The personality will show.''
Alessandro also entered. '' let me guess light side is for the kind and dark side for the cruel.'' Ahsoka gave a quick nod. '' what were to happen if you fall? Would you become cold and cruel?'' '' Ahsoka shook her head. '' not necessarily. Not all dark siders were cruel but many are. One does not easily fall. It takes something truly traumatic. And the emotions have to be overwhelming. For one to consider.''
'' have you?" Alessandro asked Ahsoka nodded in slight shame. '' once during the war. I thought that I needed power to win and save. I believed the dark side to be more powerful. And it is offensive wise. However it is the dark side's nature. To corrupt and destroy. Even its user. On the long term the light is stronger. Its nature is to protect and preserve. So both are equally powerful their strengths just lay in different fields.''
Duncan smiled knowing. '' and that's why a sith would win on the short run. But a Jedi on the long. A sith's strength lies in strength. Could be effective. But it is very exhausting. While Jedi are stronger on the long run. Their blows are weaker. But they don't use as much. So they can fight longer.''
Raoul smiled and stood behind his brothers. '' that and Jedi can make the environment fight for them. While a sith would blindly fight his way through it.''
Ahsoka nodded. '' seems like I thought you well'' Raoul gained a goofy grin. '' you know I learn from the best'' this made Ahsoka slightly bush. Duncan nudged Alessandro. And whispered. '' let's leave them alone.'' the two brothers left leaving Ahsoka and Raoul alone in the kitchen. '' well I-I'm certainly not the best. I mean you have yoda and Anakin and Obiwan and….'' Raoul stopped her. '' you're the only one I know so for me you're the best.''
Ahsoka shied away ''t-thank you. But shouldn't we be going?'' they went to Raoul's parents to say goodbye. And his parents started to fuss about the couple. Trying to make sure that they had thought of everything. Raoul found it very annoying. Ahsoka thought of it as sweet. If it was Anakin she might have reacted different. However his parents have been very kind to her during her stay. As if they truly cared for her wellbeing.
After a sort drive. They reached a remote airport. '' it's my family's airport...'' he pointed out through the window at a black looking vehicle. '' that is our jet right there.'' Ahsoka looked intrigued at the plane. '' say what time is it anyway?'' ''10 in the morning. I just wanted to leave early so we can walk through the city of Rome a bit before we have to meet him.''
Ahsoka leaned her head on his shoulder. '' you know it's still hard for me….'' Raoul frown. '' what do you mean?'' Ahsoka sighed somewhat depressed. '' being stuck here. Don't get me wrong you and your family take perfect care for me. And I'm very great full. It's just….''
''you miss your own people. Don't you?'' Ahsoka released a sob this caused Raoul to comfort her. '' hey hey. Don't cry now. It's perfectly fine to miss your people. But you mustn't cry now. Where going to do something happy after all.'' Ahsoka nodded as she continued sobbing. They stayed like this for a few more minutes.
It was at this point that Raoul realized it. He shielded his thought's 'I-I love her.' He looked down at the girl he held. Yes he was certain of it. He fell in love with her. She has been here now for two and a half months and yes if he was honest in these month's he started to feel affection for her there was no sense in denying it any longer. At least not to himself. The sad truth however. He knows that she'll leave one day. And he can't follow her.
So for him there is no sense in telling her this. Or to pursue it. He noticed that Ahsoka had calmed down. She looked deep in to his eyes wondering what was going on in his mind '' what were you thinking about?'' Raoul looked surprised '' huh? Oh noting imported.'' Ahsoka narrowed her eyes. '' you shouldn't shut me out if that was true.''
Raoul sighed. He should have known that. '' let's just say we all have our secrets. Seeing you like the way you were made me think about it. I didn't want to worry you.'' Ahsoka might not like it but she understood. '' its okay…'' noticing how she lay all over him she quickly sad up. '' we should go.'' She said slightly embarrassed. '' why do I keep having this weird yet pleasant feeling around him?'' she mumbled to herself
They walked to the jet they both sad down in a comfy chair Raoul walked to the minibar and took two beers. '' you want one?'' Ahsoka sighed as she doubted if she should take one '' ugh fine just give me. '' she took the bottle and took a sip. Then started to cough. '' yuck this is bitter.'' Raoul laughed. '' you'll learn to drink it eventually
Ahsoka kept quiet. '' so what do you know about this pope." Raoul sighed. '' not much. But I've heard he's unorthodox. And that he's pro-gay marriage. His name I believe was Julius. Pope Julius the 4th that means he's the fourth pope to carry that name. Anyway from what I've heard he seems like a nice guy.'' Ahsoka took another sip before she answered. '' I hope your right. So what should we do?'' Raoul shrugged. Watch a movie I think.''

Back home Erik looked over some plans ''how is production of the antinuke going Jens?'' '' sir with all due respect our scientist fear that this project may flop. This thing brakes several natural laws we cannot explain how.'' Erik sighed. ''That's because it's alien tech Jens. Do you really doubt my son?'' '' n-no sir not at all.'' Erik gave a nod. '' tell the science department that were doubling their budget. For extensive research purposes. I want every option explored with this tech understood?'' Jens saluted and walked away hastily.
He looked over the blueprints again. '' I really hope this works son. I really do.'' His phone rang. '' yea with Erik?'' '' sir whit yivan. The steel recipe you send us. Works phenomenal. The output has doubled and the steel is at least 100 times stronger than normal steel while being ten times lighter than normal steel it's a miracle.'' Erik grinned. '' good but don't reveal this just yet we want to have a good stock before we make this wonder steel known okay?'' '' yes sir.'' The phone went silent. In just a few months this defensive weapon has to be finished and scientists still doubt if it's possible.
He hated to doubt his son. Yes this is alien tech they were dealing with but still. Even if the tech worked, could they built a prototype in the time span they have? He sighed again. '' I guess we'll just have to wait and see.'' He mumbled to himself. Then his eyes caught the blueprints his team were working on for a new ship the HNLMS dragon born. A missile ship capable of firing missiles and possibly antinuke's? 'Mhhh if we use this dura steel for that ship at least we can make something of a defensive vehicle and it's cheap in production too. He called up yivan again... '' yivan. Have the durasteel tested on missiles grenades bombs and even bullets all sizes. We'll even have a tiger imported to shoot at it.'' With that he hung up.

Ahsoka and Raoul just left the air field and entered Rome '' well here we are. The ancient city of Rome. Capital of the once mighty Roman Empire after that they made their way to the Vatican City where the newly elected pope would meet them. Although this was a private meeting free of the press. Ahsoka's appearance in Rome certainly raised questions by the media. Raoul was really glad that he took his mother's advice and bring some bodyguard with him. Also the CIA was keeping an eye on them.
For once he was glad about that. He turned his eyes to Ahsoka. A red blush appeared when he saw her standing on the edge of the bridge. The warm sun raining down on her as she looked over the river she looked at a few children playing in the river. It was a nice place close to the Vatican. And they still had time.
He walked slightly closer to her. ''Pretty isn't it?'' she nodded. '' yea…'' she said softly but trailed off. He could see her face sadden again. He wished that he could ask what was wrong. But he didn't he didn't want to pry and he noticed that she was getting irritated when he asked. So he tried another approach.
'' you know scenes like this make me wonder…'' Ahsoka turned her attention to him as he now stepped next to her and lend on to the railing '' how will other worlds look. How beautiful will they be? And will I ever see for myself? Or am I born too early for that?'' Raoul finally scoffed. '' hmpf hear me rambling. I know it can get annoying but I can't help it. There are just so many questions and so many of them unanswered. Yet it seems like every time one question gets answered two or three new ones popup. Have you ever seen a planet like this?''
'' naboo…'' Raoul turned to her. Looking questioning. '' naboo looks like this. And it is pretty. This world looks so peaceful... so innocent when you look at scenes like this. It makes me think of naboo.'' Slowly her mind drifted in to a memory

Ahsoka and Anakin finally stepped out of the speeder. And walked in to patme's lake house '' gosh I'm spent. I really could use this vacation. I just hope that nothing disturbs this week. What do you say skyguy?'' Anakin chuckled as he placed the bags in the hall. '' for once I agree with you my young Padawan.'' There was a teasing tone in his voice.
'' you must watch it my old and wise master. Because your starting to sound like Obiwan.'' Ahsoka teased him.'' anyway. Just remind me to never play as a slave again. It isn't exactly good for my throat. 'Ahsoka threw herself on the couch. Anakin scoffed as he took a cool drink and threw another to Ahsoka. '' maybe it thought you to obey your master for once and follow orders for once.''
Ahsoka broke out in loud laughter. ''HA! As if you did that when you were Obiwan's Padawn. And you still break the rules or orders on a daily basis. I'm just following your example.'' "Remember Snips, it's about how we follow orders. That's what I excel in." "Meaning you don't follow them at all, Skyguy." Ahsoka challenged him "Hey, I get results." '' and so do I skyguy.'' '' hmm whatever you say snips''
Ahsoka smiled satisfied at her little victory '' so skyguy how did you managed to convince patme to give us her vacation home?'' an evil cog turned in her mind. So she quickly added. ''You gave her a head?'' Anakin spit out the remaining of his drink and half and chocked to death on his coughing Ahsoka busted out in laughter after seeing his reaction after gaining some composure she faked her shock.
'' master don't tell me that is true. 'Anakin had finally recovered from almost chocking '' and what if I did?'' he flung back at her with a cocky smile. Cause it was true from a certain point of view. Ahsoka gasped. '' MASTER! That's gross.'' Anakin chuckled. '' no ahsoka that's what you call grown up stuff.''
'' it's still gross.'' Anakin grinned mockingly. '' maybe once you grow up you'll understand that it isn't.'' '' I just don't feel the need to know your love live skyguy. Besides I'm not a kid anymore.'' Anakin chuckled. '' what?'' '' the fact that your indeed not a child anymore. Sure in some things you still are. And you are in the eyes of the law. But you've grown a lot sins you became my Padawan. That makes me proud.''
Ahsoka smiled '' ah thanks skyguy.'' Anakin smiled back…

''Ahsoka? Ahsoka we have to go or else we will be late.'' Ahsoka snapped out of her daydream as she heard Raoul's voice. '' oh yea I guess.'' Raoul chuckled. '' no worries. You spaced out but not in a bad way. So what was it about? If you don't mind me asking?'' Ahsoka sighed peacefully. 'Whatever it was it seems to have done her some good 'he thought. '' it was about a vacation me and my master had on Naboo. It was about the day we arrived.'' Ahsoka gave another chuckle.
They reached the door of the Vatican. There was Swiss Guard standing parade Raoul handed them the invitation. '' hi there… uhhmm me and my friend were invited by your holiness.'' Raoul spoke awkward hoping they understood. The two guards spoke to each other and finally opened the door minutes later both of them shuffled in nervously Ahsoka noticed how nervous Raoul was. And that didn't help her own nerves. She drew on the force trying to calm herself
They were both searched for any weapons Raoul was clean but by Ahsoka they took her lightsabers. '' what's this? '' Ahsoka bit her lip. '' ehm my lightsabers. They are my most prized possessions. I never part with them.'' Raoul frown. '' Ahsoka I thought that I was clear. No weapons. They are not allowed here.'' Ahsoka outed a frustrated sight. '' but their part of me Raoul. To me they are more than just a pair of weapons. They are a part of me. My soul.''
Raoul sighed. '' it's not my decision.'' Ahsoka turned to the guards. '' please I need them with me if I wanted to hurt the pope. I wouldn't use these but the force instead. He raised her hand and one of the guards flew up. She quickly placed him down. The guards gave her, her weapons back ''very well. You may pass.''
Ahsoka gave a quick bow in thanks after that she followed Raoul and the guards to the room where she would be meeting the pope. She just hoped that she wouldn't screw this one up.

Garrus his breath was ragged. His lungs burned. And his muscles felt as if someone spilled acid on them yet still he moved on. There was no time for rest. Not while he wasn't reunited. Even now when he by some miracle won against the reapers. He was certain that something happened. They almost had him when out of nowhere they went back. Maybe they went after a new target. A bigger target. Whoever they were they were unfortunate. And no matter how hard it sounds he was glad.
After what seems like forever he finally reached a place where he was certain that he could rest. He sat down against a support strut and tried to grab a bottle of water. His hands were shacking from exhaustion and he gulped down the water as fast as he could. He sat there for a few more minutes catching his breath before he resumed his way back to hopefully his group. In the meantime he checked his ammo seeing how many he had left. He knew it couldn't be much but he hoped for at least a few shots
He ran a few more streets until he finally found them. '' Liara!'' he half shouted. The blue asari turned around. And immediately jumped in to his arms kissing him passionately. '' oh Garrus you're alright. We were really worried about you. How are you feeling?'' Garrus chuckled. She was always a little protective of him. '' got a little roughed up but I'm fine otherwise mom.'' He slightly joked. '' she gave him a slight hit on the head. After that she lay her head down his chest. '' I-I thought you died. I thought I'd lost you.'' Garrus grabbed her chin and made her look in his eyes.
'' I thought the same. But I'm not that's all that matters.'' They head a screech '' time to move on where half way there anyway. We'll talk once were save. And they resumed their search for the vault.

It wasn't a long wait before the pope arrived but it was an awkward one. Neither Ahsoka nor Raoul really knew where to look. So it make the wait seem long. But finally the door opened and the pope entered the room together with a translator Ahsoka gasped as she laid eyes on the old man. The man must be as old as hiro. She didn't expect that. She thought that it would be someone in his fifty's or something.
Raoul noticed her behavior and nudged her. '' that's very impolite.'' He remarked and bow down to the man Ahsoka followed his example. The pope seemed amused as he slipped a chuckle. '' let me guess you expected somewhat younger.'' He pointed at Ahsoka once they stood up right. Ahsoka blushed. '' ehrr.'' She nervously the man laughed warmly. "Anyway my name is Pope Julius Marcelo Benedictus. It is a pleasure to meet you. "Raoul noticed that Ahsoka had a little trouble processing so he went first
"Greeting your Holiness my name is Raoul Frosterson next head of the Frosterson family. Third CEO if Frosterson tech and chosen guide and protector of our friend here while she resides on our planet he waited until the translator was finished and came with a reply. "Aah yes the Frosterson family he has heard of that. He also received worth of the many charity project going on I poor areas of the world" Raoul nodded
"The best way to use wealth is to spread it among those who need it" the pope nodded in approval. At that same moment Ahsoka overcame her initial shock. She finally spoke up "my name is Ahsoka Tano I'm happy to meet you.'' The pope smiled as he got the translation. Then he told them to follow and take a seat close to the balcony as the sun shone through the windows.
The pope started with the pope started with the first question. '' so does either of you believe in our lord?'' Raoul and Ahsoka both sook their head.'' The pope seemed not pleased with this answer. And asked why they didn't. Raoul decided to speak first. '' well I need to clarify myself I think. I grew up religious going to a catholic school however after reading the bible. I actually felt that the god depicted couldn't be real. I saw to many contradictions. Too many inaccuracies. I didn't dismiss the existence of a god. But I believed that if he existed it wouldn't be the god of the bible.'' The pope sighed. It was always sad to see someone leaving the faith.
Then he looked to Ahsoka. '' well I grew up knowing that the force created us. I'm not certain to explain it. But it does sound like your god. It's and infant energy living in all beings and some can summon its power. We used to call it the force however I learned that was false. The force was artificially created by the true gods. I don't believe in them because I met them. They died in front of my eyes. All three Lucifer jesues and yaweh. In our galaxy better known as, the ones. Or Bogan Ashla and bendu.''
Ahsoka noticed the pope's interest piqued hearing this from his translator. '' our holiness wishes to learn more about this.'' Ahsoka nodded. '' well I do not exactly know much. But from what I've learned. They truly mirror the beings yaweh jesues and Lucifer. Ashla the one born in light dedicated herself to peace and selflessness the core emotions associated with Ashla are compassion joy and love. Bogan her brother. Thrived from chaos and selfishness. His association was with the emotions of passion hate and anger. Then there was bendu the father. He was the balance between the both. His words were. One cannot exist without the other.''
Ahsoka waited for the translator to finish. The pope nodded. '' our holiness says that it does sound like the personalities of god Jesus and Satan. However you told us that they died could you clarify.'' Ahsoka sighed. '' it's a story I'd rather forget but fine. It was about a year ago. Me and my master/teacher. And his former teacher were sent on a mission to investigate a Jedi beacon that hasn't been used for over 2 thousand years. When we arrived we were supposed to meet with a military captain. We were both on the same locations but neither of us saw each other. Both out of the window or on the scanners. Suddenly they broke up and we were blinded by a bright light when we woke up we had landed on an unknown world or so we thought. We were greeted by Ashla not knowing what she wanted we assumed hostile seeing how we were at war on a galactic scale.''
She waited for the translator to finish again. '' after she asked my master Anakin. Whether he was the one or not. She motioned us to follow her to her father's residence. On the trip we noticed how quickly the seasons seemed to change eventually me and Obiwan separated from Anakin we turned back and met Bogan. We had a small talk and obviously he gave some bad vibes. After we went to sleep the son and daughter snagged us I was taken by Bogan and Ashla took Obiwan. Then the father revealed a test.''
'' he wanted Anakin to choose between us. He could only chose one the other would die. However this wasn't a test of morality this was a test of strength. The father wanted to see if Anakin could hold both his son and daughter in line. He could… then the father continued to explain how his son and daughter were going to powerful for him to handle. He told us that he was growing weaker. And that if either his son or daughter would leave the place. Best described as heaven. They would create unbalance and disaster would follow. Still he gave Anakin a choice. And Anakin refused to stay.'' The pope frown as he hear what Ahsoka said.
'' we were about to leave the place when suddenly he son boarded our ship. And dragged me off. Despite being told not to turn back no matter what, by the father. Anakin ignored and went after the son who dragged me off. Anakin wasn't successful and instead crashed. After that I fainted when I woke up I was in a prison. The son told me his plans and dreams of how he would kill his father and how he would leave this place with my help. By killing his father. I told him to screw off. But then… he bit me. Corrupted me. I don't even know how to describe it. It was as if my inner darkness came out and took control of me he made me fight my master I did thins said thinks I never meant. Yet at the same time it were things I was irritated about. Finally he make me steal a weapon the only weapon that could kill the father. When I brought it to him he thanked me and killed me.''
This made the pope frown. Even Raoul looked surprised. She told him much but this was new for him. '' from wat I heard the son tried to kill his father but ended up stabbing Ashla instead. Completely enraged with himself. The son left. His sister was the only one he truly cared about after all. Anyway With her last breath Ashla asked her father and Anakin to steer the last of her live force in to me to allow her live and light to clench my body from the corruption and revive me. However with her death heaven was plunged in to unbalance and with that chaos. It started to tear itself apart slowly. The father told us to leave as soon as possible. Saying that he would deal with Bogan. But we couldn't leave with the damaged ship. While I tried to repair it. The son made one desperate to leave the place.''
'' he kidnaped Anakin and showed him a vision of the future it corrupted Anakin and while Anakin was to take care of the ship. The son made his final preparations. The father however. Deleted Anakin's memory turning him back. Stating that some secrets must remain unknown. We the son returned. He gloated his father and then stabbed his father. With his last words. Bendu told his son how he loved him. Before giving Anakin the signal. Anakin killed Bogan and with that both father and son died. With now all three gone the place teared itself apart and we were barely able to escaped.'' Ahsoka had a sad look as the used the force to levitate something. '' the three died. But they left a legacy. The force. Now it's up to me to preserve that legacy. Because I owe it to Ashla.'' The pope looked amazed at Ahsoka. Even the translator was stunned the pope pondered on her words.
She didn't seem to be lying but you could never know there was one thing certainly truthful though. The force exists and it was god's gift. It did indeed needed preservation.'' Well Ahsoka. I thank you for your story. However how can you be certain they were the gods?'' Ahsoka understood their skepticism. She would've done the same. '' well according to their story's they've lived for millions of years. And everything in the Jedi archives seems to suggest the same. The Jedi have existed for over 25 thousand years now. There've been sighed multiple times. However they sometimes disappear. Those dates seem to match the dates of the holy bible and their sightings here on earth their last sighting here was 2 thousand years ago. This seems to fit with their disappearing in our galaxy. The moment they seemed gone here they reappeared in our galaxy and then left again to that place.'' The pope nodded. '' may we have that data we would love to study it with our scholars.
Ahsoka thought deeply would it be uplifting? It could be. On the other hand just giving them the data on the dates of sighing and limited understanding couldn't hurt right?'' I'll see what I can give without breaking my government's laws.'' Ahsoka answered. '' the pope knew this meant neither yes or no. anyway. He thanked her for her consideration. They proceeded to discuss a few minor topics before leaving the Vatican. The man seemed like a very nice and open mined guy it honestly surprised Raoul how open mined he was. They ended with an official announcement of Ahsoka not being a demon. Witch was the main goal of this trip.
On the way back to their jet Ahsoka blew out a deep breath. '' jeez am I glad that's over. I'm spent.'' She looked extremely tired. '' ha-ha yea I'm too but I'm mostly hungry.'' '' ugh when aren't you?'' she grumbled '' whoa. What's with the attitude all of a sudden? It's the monthly problem again?'' he asked teasingly. '' I swear I'll kill you.'' She hissed. At that point Raoul couldn't hold it he busted out in laughed. '' hahaha come on. It's just a joke. Anyway lets grab some food you get grumpy when hungry and there are some good restaurants here in Rome I've heard.'' Ahsoka just grunted in surrender.
After the food both teens sighed. '' I hate to admit it but eating was a good idea.'' Raoul leaned back in contempt. '' Yeah that was a good pizza.'' Ahsoka chuckled. '' god where being typical teens right now. I mean come one where in a totally different country. With all these foods available that we don't know and what do we take. Pizza.''
''ah but here your wrong for you see...'' Ahsoka placed her head in her hand and muttered. '' oh boy here we go.'' '' this is an Italian pizza not an American pizza meaning that the dough is thicker and slightly different. Other than that I don't actually know.'' He grinned. Ahsoka gave him the serious look. Raoul's grin just widened. '' Well guess there is a first time for everything it seems.'' A waitress came and asked if they wanted another drink. Ahsoka ordered an ice Thea. Raoul a cola. They simply sat there silent looking at people that walked by for some reason despite being completely uncomfortable it did feel comfortable.
Raoul then suddenly flung out. '' you know this kind of looks like a date. '' Ahsoka immediately blushed as she looked startled at him. But he didn't seem to notice her reaction. He seemed to be staring at the sun that was slowly going under. He then surprised her again. '' you know if this were to be a date. It would be my first.'' Ahsoka gasped. '' w...what? I thought that well with you being rich and all. The girls would pile up for you.'' Raoul chuckled and looked her in the eyes. Well most don't know I'm rich and call me a nerd. Those that do know are mostly not my type.'' Ahsoka looked back to the sun and sunk in her chair. '' well I don't mind if you think that way.'' She admitted slightly embarrassed however Raoul didn't pick it up they just sat in silence for the rest of the time
Both looking at the descending sun thinking about this conversation they just had. It was almost dark when Raoul spoke. '' we should go I'd like to back tomorrow.'' Ahsoka nodded. They stood up and walked back to their jet.''

Ashla walked back to her mother.'' Master Mai how is my mother doing? Has she woken up yet?'' ticarty looked with a look of sympathy to the young Togrutan girl ''I'm sorry young one but no I am afraid she won't either for a while'' Ashla looked down sadly '' oh…'' she said disappointed. Ticarty quickly made up a small little lie for her own good. '' but if you meditate hard enough I'm sure she'll hear you.'' Ashla sat down and tried to meditate. Ticarty shook her head. Alto just 11 years old she's way to gullible for her own good. Some masters even feared that she might have a mental disability by how childish she sometimes can act. On the other hand though. They thought the same from Ahsoka. So maybe it's a Togrutan thing. She left the room.
'' hey mom I am here. I hope you can sense me. Ticarty told me you could but... maybe that was just to cheer me up. Anyway. I have been training with master yoda he says I'm recovering from the dark side fast and my sword skills are being trained as well. Master skywalker offered me to help with my training. Although he probably just does it because he misses Ahsoka.'' she gave a slight smile. '' but honestly I don't mind I like learning from him and he really has a kind heart. He's just very misunderstood by the council. I wished I could tell them. But why would the masters ever listen to me I'm just a Padawan, who's actually too young for that rank. And who fell to the dark side. To way in hell that they'll listen to me…''
And idea popped up in her mind. '' say mom could that be why Ahsoka left? Because people became too hasty and didn't take the time to listen? Well whatever the reason. At least she's watching over us. Right Ahsoka?''
''right Ahsoka?'' Ahsoka shoot up and looked around. It was dark and they were still in the air. Besides Raoul who was snoring loudly, there was no one else. And certainly not someone that could match with the voice she just heard. '' where the hell did that came from?'' she wondered. '' it sounded like someone I know. I just can't put my finger on it.'' She kept thinking but in her sleeping state her brain didn't function well eventually she shrugged. '' meh probably just a dream.'' With that she went back to sleep.
