Chapter 5

We Need A New Plan

"So where is their camp?" Asked Hazel.

"We can take you there." Said a raspy voice behind us.

Our droids all beeped nervously. We whirled around to see two males, both Deathwatch terrorists.

"You had to ask?" We all asked in unison.

I immediately shielded my face with my hood best I could. Then I hid my face in my hands, and then I finally just hid behind Yoli.

"I think we got us some Jedi." One of them remarked.

"We don't take very kindly to Jedi." The second one said evilly.

Rodi chuckled. "Is that a threat?"

"Funny." The first one said sarcastically. "To bad you won't live long enough to find out."

Hazel pulled out her lightsaber. "Oh yes we will." She ignited her weapon and impaled the guy in the chest.

The other guy started to run. I came out from behind Yoli and ran after him. I caught up with him within five seconds. I jumped on him, pushing him to the ground and knocking of his helmet to reveal his scarred face. "You!" He accused.

My hood had apparently fallen off so my face was visible. "You!" I said back in a mocking tone. I ignited my shoto and stabbed him in the chest without a minute's hesitation.

I stood up. Everybody else ran up behind me. "When these scouts don't come back to their camp it'll raise suspicion." Padmé said. She was clutching her lightsaber.

"You're right." I said. "This means we need to think of a plan, and fast." I said.

"Well, before we think of anything, we need to know the enemy. Ahsoka, can you describe their camp for us?" Asked Sayda.

"Oh, yeah. There were tents, and. Um, and there was lots of snow. . ." I faltered.

"Okay, you obviously don't remember the layout of the camp." Padmé said.

"Then two of us need to go on a scouting mission before we come up with a real plan." Yoli said.

"I'll go." I said.

"No, Ahsoka. We can't risk them seeing you." Hazel said.

"It's my friend we're rescuing, I'm going." I said.

"Oh, that's so romantic!" Padmé cooed.

"Shut up, Padmé!" I hissed.

"I'll come with you, Ahsoka." Yoli said.

"It's settled then. Yoli and I will go to their camp tonight and make a report of the layout so we can form an accurate plan." Sayda announced. "We will come back to the starfighters immediately when we're finished."

Later That Night

Yoli and I swiftly moved across the snow covered landscape. The sun had set about an hour ago and I couldn't see much of anything. The only light was the moon, the stars, and my glowing blue eyes. If I was correct about where the camp was, we should be there soon. "Are we there yet?" Yoli whined.

I groaned. "Yes Yoli, and don't make me regret letting you come with me." She got quiet.

We moved quickly and quietly for about five more minutes when I saw light in the distance. "Slow down, Yoli." I whispered.

She peered around me and saw the light. We slowed our pace and continued quietly towards their camp. As we got closer I noticed tents and shouting. I ducked lower as I walked. Yoli did the same. I quickly hid behind the first tent I saw. "Okay, Yoli. You take that side of the camp and I'll take this side." I said, pointing in both directions to make myself clear.

Before Yoli ran off, she said. "And Ahsoka, no rescue mission right now. We're just scoping out the area."

"I know." I said with a hint of disappointment. "Good luck, Yoli."

Yoli hugged me. "You too, Soka."

Yoli ran off and I peered around the edge of the tent. I saw bonfires dotted all across the camp and Deathwatch soldiers walking in and out of tents. I took a deep breath before peeking inside the tent through a small gap in the fabric. There was nothing inside except boxes of food. I Force dashed over to the next tent. I held my breath for a few seconds before I was certain nobody had seen me. I peeked inside and I saw two Deathwatch members discussing something. I Force dashed over to the next tent.

I peeked inside and saw what reminded me of the briefing room back at the Jedi Temple. I recognized Pre Vizsla and Bo-Katan and there were three other Deathwatch members. I knew I should have moved on to the next tent, but I picked up on their conversation. "I'm taking an awful risk Vizsla, this had better work." One of them said. I leaned closer.

"It will work. My plan won't fail. We've spread the rumor that Dooku allied with us and she is here just as we planned." Vizsla said evilly. Oh my God, they set this up!

"Maybe, but we lost two men while we were spying on her for you on Coruscant." The same guy countered. They were spying on me? That's why I always felt like I was being watched!

"And we think she killed two of our scouts." Another one said. I only killed one of them! Hazel killed the other.

"When do we get to kill Bonteri!?" Bo practically yelled.

Vizsla chuckled. "Don't worry; we'll kill both of them once we have her in custody." Huh, I guess he never did learn my name. I thought.

"When do we go after Skinny?" Bo asked in a rude voice.

"We ambush where she is based tomorrow morning." Vizsla said.

I stumbled backwards and gasped. I need to find Yoli and get out of here.

I continued to move quietly from tent to tent, but more quickly this time. Yoli? Where are you?

I think I'm on Carlac, but I'm not sure. Came Yoli's sarcastic tone in my thoughts.

Not now, Yoli! We have to get out of here. I said.

But what about scoping out the camp? Yoli asked.

Forget about that, I have a new plan. Where are you? I asked again.

A snowball hit me from the left; I turned and saw Yoli standing about thirty yards away. Right Here.

She ran over to me. "Come on, let's go." She said.

I nodded and ran for it with Yoli hot on my trail. We never stopped running (Well, Yoli tripped along the way, but she recovered quickly). I didn't stop until I saw the dark silhouettes of starfighters in the distance. Yoli and I started to run faster. We skidded to a stop, making a blanket of snow rise up and attack Layda.

"You're back already?" Asked Hazel.

"Everybody sit down, I don't have much time to explain everything." I said.

Everybody sat down on the snow, and so did I. I just sat down in front of them.

I started to explain everything. By that, I mean starting back at the temple when I always felt like I was being watched, up until the conversation I eavesdropped on. "So, they're coming here tomorrow morning?" Riyo asked. Our Astromech droids all beeped nervously.

"That's what I heard." I said looking down.

"What do we do now?" Asked Layda.

I smiled, "I have a few thoughts about that."

They all leaned in, eager to hear what I had to say. As I explained my plan, they all got devious grins on their faces; I could tell that they couldn't wait to put my plan into action.

"Should we start now?" Asked Rodi, cracking her knuckles.

I grinned, "The sooner the better. Sayda, you and I will go set the bombs and the motion sensors. Riyo, Layda, Hazel and Padmé, you four go find shelter for us tonight. And be sure to stick together, no splitting up. You don't want to get lost out here. And Yoli and Rodi, you two stay here and try to get a fire going. They need to think we're still here. R7, you and R9 will be going with Hazel and Padmé. R2 and R8, two stay here with Yoli and Rodi. They need you to make sure that no life forms sneak up on them. The rest of you, go with your Masters to find shelter."

The Padawans, Hazel and Padmé ran off into the snow. Be careful, guys. I don't want to lose you, too.

Yoli and Rodi ran off to find firewood. Sayda and I grabbed the charges out of her starfighter and started to run back in the direction of the Deathwatch camp. But we weren't actually going back to their camp; we just needed to get to a spot where our base would be visible from a few meters away.

Sayda and I found a rock and a tree that were directly across from each other. I knelt down by the rock and attached my half of the motion sensor to it while Sayda attached hers to the snow covered tree. When the two motion sensors were linked, a thin blue line that was barely visible appeared; going from the tree to the rock. At one point Yoli walked past us with her arms full of firewood, "Hey guys." She said. I didn't reply, I was working furiously at trying to get the bombs linked to the motion sensors.

I guess now would be a good time to tell you my plan, huh? If the Deathwatch were going to be coming to our 'camp' in the morning, then we would need to find a different place to stay, which is why I sent Hazel and Padmé to find a cave for us to stay in. And since they know where we are, we need them to keep thinking that so that's why Yoli and Rodi had to make a fire. And the reason Sayda and I are setting charges and motion sensors is when they come to our camp tomorrow morning, they will set off the motion sensors triggering the bombs creating an explosion (Which will hopefully kill a few of them so that I don't have to) that will make the atmosphere become chaotic. We are going to wake up early in the morning and take the long way to their camp, so that we should be there by the time the bomb goes off. I'm praying that there camp will be (For the most part) abandoned. That would make our job so much easier.

After Sayda and I had the bombs and motion sensors synchronized, we went back to the starfighters. Yoli and Rodi had gotten a fire going, and it was steadily growing bigger every timethey blew on it. R2 and R8 were positioned next to the fire; I could actually see the ice melting off of them. "Are the charges set?" Rodi asked without looking up from the growing flames.

"Set and ready to go." I informed happily.

"Great!" Yoli exclaimed. "Now we just have to wait for Hazel or Padmé to come for us."

I sat down on the snow and tried to warm up by the fire. I will admit that I was getting warmer, just not much warmer. I felt my teeth start to chatter inside my mouth. I inched closer to the fire. If I got any closer than that I would catch on fire and burn. I hope you're okay, Lux. I thought to myself. You have to be okay.

I was starting to get upset, What if he's hurt? Or what if he's dead? I thought, panicked. No! No, Ahsoka. He's not dead! You're going to rescue him; you're going to see him again.

I could feel myself getting drowsy, but I couldn't bring myself to sleep. I didn't want to have any more nightmares. Then again, if I didn't sleep I would eventually go insane.

I was still contemplating whether or not to get some rest when Layda and Hazel appeared out of the heavy snowfall. "Did you find a place for us to stay?" Sayda asked hopefully.

Layda nodded with a small smile, "You bet, Master. Is everything ready?"

"Almost." Rodi said. She blew on the fire a few more times then stood up and put her hand on her hip. "Okay, it should be strong enough to make it through tomorrow morning."

"Then are we ready to meet up with Riyo and Padmé?" Yoli asked crossing her arms over her orange coat.

"Yes." Sayda and Rodi said in unison. I smiled lightly to myself.

"Come on." Hazel turned, motioning for us to follow her. "Let's go, and stay together."

Yoli grabbed my hand before walking after Hazel. I saw Layda and Hazel link hands and so did Sayda and Rodi. It was obvious that none of us wanted to get lost out here.

We walked for what I estimated to be about three miles, and Yoli never let go of my hand once. It was snowing pretty hard, but it wasn't quite a blizzard. I never lost sight of Sayda and Rodi; I knew that they could see Hazel and Layda, so that way we wouldn't get lost. We walked for about another two miles when I heard Hazel, "We're here." She had to shout so that she could be heard over the harsh wind.

I saw Sayda and Rodi disappear into a dark cave in front of us. Yoli and I exchanged looks before going in after them.

The cave was very damp, cold, and dark. Yoli and I kept walking, still holding each others hands. I then saw dim lighting at the end of the tunnel; I'm guessing that Yoli saw it too, because we quickened our pace at the same time. I ducked my head under the roof of a cave and found myself in a small opening at the end of the cave. Yoli let go of my hand. This was where we were staying. There was a small fire in the center of the opening. It was just big enough to light and warm the small room. Riyo was poking at the fire with a stick and Layda was trying to warm her pale hands. All of our Astromech Droids were in sleep mode in the dark part of the cave, but they were close enough to feel the warmth of the fire. Padmé was lying down next to the wall, she had her eyes closed, but I could tell that she wasn't really asleep. Sayda and Rodi were leaning their backs against the wall of the cave. Sayda was twirling her pony-tail around her finger and Rodi was messing with a loose string on her red coat. Yoli sat down next to Layda and took off her hood. I lay down next to a vacant wall and absorbed the fires heat. Please be okay, Lux. Hold out just a little longer. I promise I'll get you out of here. I thought to myself. I shifted my position to face the wall. Even though I wasn't aware of it, my eyelids were starting to close. I saw the shadows of everyone else lying down on the wall. I was awake to see the fire dim a few shades and to hear Riyo's snoring, but I eventually couldn't fight it anymore, I fell asleep.

Dream

I was inside one of the Deathwatch's tents. There were crates everywhere, stacked on top of each other and spread out. But there was something that didn't belong in the tent. There was a humanoid figure in the center of the room, and it was obvious that it was a boy. He had lush brown hair and green blue eyes. His gaze was fixed on the ground in a sad gaze. He had a few cuts and bruises on his arms and hands. There was a bloody cut on his forehead, he looked pale, and there were binders on his wrists. Lux.

I reached out to him, but when I looked down I didn't see anything. I was invisible. I'm dreaming.

I tried saying Lux's name, but no sound came out of my mouth. Lux! Lux, are you okay?! I wasn't surprised when he didn't respond or even acknowledge the fact that I was screaming his name.

I could have started crying. Then somebody else walked into the tent. Vizsla.

For a minute I was actually thankful that nobody could see or hear me. "What do you want?" Lux asked still staring at the snow covered ground.

Vizsla roughly kicked Lux in the side. I screamed, knowing that they couldn't hear me. "Get up!" He ordered.

Lux warily stood up. "What?!" Lux asked again in a rude.

Vizsla angrily gripped Lux by the neck. I almost fainted. "If I hadn't already made a plan you would be dead by now!"

I wanted so badly to attack Vizsla; which is why it was about to drive me insane that I couldn't do anything.

Vizsla let go of Lux's neck. Lux fell onto his hands and knees, "What's holding you back?" He coughed.

"We're waiting for your little Jedi friend to join you." Vizsla said evilly.

Lux stood up again, "What?! You can't! You promised you wouldn't bother her!"

"If you hadn't figured it out yet, Lux Bonteri, I am not a man of my word." Vizsla turned to leave, but Lux spoke up again.

"She'll never fall for whatever you have planned!" Lux yelled after him.

"Oh, but she already has. She's here on Carlac; we're just waiting for the right time to attack her." Vizsla left the tent.

Lux sunk to the floor, I saw a tear trickle down his cheek. "Ahsoka, I hope you're okay."

I noticed the dream starting to fade. I'll get you out of here Lux, I promise.

End of Dream

"Ahsoka! Ahsoka, wake up!" I felt somebody shaking me. I fluttered my eyelashes.

"What? What happened?" I shot up.

"Its okay, Soka. Nothing happened." Sayda said.

"Oh, okay. Good." I replied.

"Come on, we'd better get going if we want to get there by the time the bomb goes off." Sayda said.

I stood up and walked out of the cave with Sayda behind me. I saw everyone else waiting for us outside of the cave. "Are you guys ready?" Hazel asked.

I nodded, "Let's do this." I turned to the Astromech droids. "You guys stay here, and stay hidden!" I ordered.

They beeped affirmatively and rolled back into the cave.

It was too dark last night to see much of anything, and it was still pretty dark now considering it was probably around 4:00 in the morning. But at least I could now see that the cave was perched on a cliff. I could see the bright fires of the Deathwatch camp about eight miles away. I sighed, "Let's go." Then I jumped off of the cliff.

Sorry about the wait, I was stumped for awhile. Anyway, please review! Vote on my poll!
