Story Title: Arbiter of the Jedi Order
Story Start...
Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano was running for her life through the deserted sewer system beneath Coruscant. The reason? She had been framed for the bombing of the Jedi Temple, and was trying to find evidence to clear her name.
Only her master, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, and her best friend, fellow Padawan Barriss Offee, had believed that she was innocent and stood by her side. However, the Jedi High Council firmly believes that Ahsoka was responsible for the bombing. She very well can't go back to the temple framed as a terrorist, now can she?
That's why she was currently on the run. And she couldn't contact her master with all of the Clone Troopers after her. She'd be caught for sure! So Ahsoka had to traverse the disgusting sewer tunnels of Coruscant in order to try and find a ship and get off planet. She just couldn't stay there any longer than she already has!
"Wait a minute… what's that up ahead?" Ahsoka asked herself.
While she was trying to get away, the young Togruta found a strange hole in the tunnel she was in. Not wanting to get caught by a possible trap, her brain kept telling her to just ignore the new tunnel and keep on moving. But her own curiosity eventually got the better of her, and she walked over to it. She noted that this tunnel was much too small for a Clone Trooper or a Jedi to fit through, but just big enough for her to get through.
And against her better judgement, Ahsoka climbed into the tunnel, and began to make her way through it to try and see what was on the other side. She was lucky that it was just a straight line that she had to traverse, otherwise getting through may have been a bit of a problem. She was also EXTREMELY grateful that it was cleaner than the other pipes, if a little dusty. It took about fifteen minutes of sniper crawling, but eventually, Ahsoka saw a light at the end of the tunnel.
Soon enough, she managed to get out of the tunnel, and saw something that was totally foreign to her on a technologically advanced planet like Coruscant. It was a lush grassland filled with all sorts of flora and fauna. But the fauna looked as though it hadn't changed in millennia!
There were huge herds of Mammoths, stampeding Bison, hulking behemoths known as Ground Sloths, herds of prehistoric Horses, Cariboo, Camels, and even prehistoric predators. There was the solitary, apex scavenger known as the Short Faced Bear, packs of Dire Wolves, prides of American Lions, and even family groups of Saber-Tooth Cats like Smilodon and Scimitar-Tooth cats known as Homotherium! This whole place seemed to remain untouched by time!
"Wow…!" Ahsoka breathed in amazement.
Her feet seemed to move on their own as she began to move through the grassland. She just couldn't help but revel in the sheer amount of prehistory that was perfectly preserved here. The animals seemed to sense her presence, but they did nothing to try and harm her or interact with her. In fact, they seemed to give her a wide berth. So caught up in her wandering, Ahsoka was, that she didn't notice that she was walking into something.
At least until she walked smack dab into it, and fell flat on her butt.
"OW!" Ahsoka yelped. "What in the world did I just…? *GASP!*"
When she looked up, Ahsoka found that she had run into the wreckage of a… actually, she couldn't tell what the darn thing is. But from what she could tell, it definitely wasn't built by the Republic or the Separatists. It seemed to be covered in purple armor that had its fair share of rust on it, showing that the thing had been here for a long, long time.
Naturally, being the curious child that she is, Ahsoka thought it might be safer to hide out in there. At least until she figured out just what to do about the clones that were after her.
