Chapter 5: A mission gone awry

A/N: *Quickly looks around for my shoulder devil and angel*

Phew, they're not here. And I couldn't resist doing that. Ok, I, uh, forgot Korkie's friends' names…

Sorry about that, they will still be in it, just insert their names in. I am going to number them 1, 2, and 3.

3 will be the female friend. 1 and 2 will be the boys.

~Gwen's POV~

I glanced around the military school that I will be staying at for the next few days. A pretty blonde named Satine was the ruler of this planet, and apparently she wanted us to teach the next generation how to spot corrupted officers. No, correction, she wanted Ahsoka to teach them, and me to attend the classes so that I can learn it. Last time I went to a military school, I ended up having to save the majistar in charge from an escaped criminal looking for revenge.

"This is a few of your students, Ahsoka. My nephew, Korkie, and his friends, 1, 2, and 3." Satine pointed first to her nephew, a younger male version of her, then to each of his friends.

"Nice to meet you." Ahsoka politely greeted.

I nodded in agreement.

~Time skip, night time, Korkie's POV~

"Why do we get rations? We're not involved with the war." 2 grumped as he flopped down onto his bed.

"Yeah, that doesn't seem right." 1 agreed.

"Ok, how about this, we go investigate what is going on, tonight." Korkie suggested to his friends as he leans against the door frame.

"But we will be breaking curfew…" 3 pointed out worriedly.

"You're right. But we will be known as heroes if we find out why we have to suffer outside of the war." Korkie moved in close to discuss a plan of action.

~Time skip, Gwen's POV~

What do we have here? A conspiracy? Oh dear, someone call the authorities. I sarcastically thought as I watched four of my fellow 'classmates' run for it. Rolling my eyes I quickly scanned everyone that was present for their manna signatures. The hooded guy who gave chase, I didn't recognize. The one that took the dropped thing from the kids, was someone close to the duchess, I recognized the signature as one that hung onto her. The four kids were Korkie and his friends. Wonderful. Turning, I headed back to campus to get some shut eye.

"Nothing like going to school without a conspiracy to stop." I muttered to myself out of annoyance.

~Time skip, Ahsoka's POV~

I glanced back at my students and immediately noticed that Korkie and his friends weren't paying attention. Neither was Gwen, but I was willing to let it slid with her.

"Korkie? Anything you would like to share with the class?" Ahsoka called him out.

"We found out about a conspiracy last night. Auntie Satine won't listen to us though, however the Prime Minister has offered to look at our evidence tonight." Korkie looked proud of himself for finding out about the conspiracy.

Gwen immediately snapped into attention panic briefly flashing across her face. Shaking my head, I advised them not to go, something seemed off about this.

Korkie and his friends promptly scoffed, pointing out the fact that he has known the Prime Minister his entire life. For some reason, this statement made Gwen uneasy.

When the bell rang, dismissing the class, I made a mental note to follow them.

~Time skip~

I nudged Korkie forward roughly, trying to convince the guard that they had confessed to her that they were part of a conspiracy. The guard seemed to buy it, however she had to use the force to get herself in. After the guard locked them in a cell, she used the force again to get permission to talk to the 'prisoners'.

The second the door closed behind her, Korkie sprang up on his feet.

"Well? Where are they keeping Auntie Satine?" He demanded right away.

"Relax, I will get the guard to take me down to see her next. Just, hang tight." I raised my hands to stop the tirade of questions.

"I still can't believe it was the Prime Minister." Korkie whispered softly as he sagged against the far wall.

"I have to go. I will be back for you." I stepped back out the door.

Once again I had to use the force to get the guard to cooperate. When we finally stopped walking we were in a room filled with torture devices. A large cylinder holding tank was operating as Duchess Satine's cell on the far wall in the room. It took a bit of the force for the guard to release Satine so I could talk to her. Right after that everything went downhill…

"Congratulations. You have found the duchess." A cold voice spoke up from behind us.

Whipping around, I spotted the Prime Minister standing right there, watching our every move. There was no way I could break the duchess out with him there.

"You're just in time to see the duchess sign this document claiming she is the one behind the conspiracy." The Prime Minister lifted up a piece of paper and pen, offering them to the duchess.

"If you think I will take the blame for what YOU did, you have another thing coming." The duchess growled angrily.

"So true. But you will sign it if it was the only way to save your nephew." As he spoke, three guards marched in, pushing Korkie and his friends into the room.

The Prime Minister immediately snapped a shock collar onto Korkie, and a force-restraint onto me has his men handcuff me. Terrified, I glanced over at my students to see fear dancing in their eyes.

"I had all of my guards trained to be force resistant. Good planning on my behalf." The prime minister announced upon seeing my shocked face.

"I'm sorry Ahsoka." Korkie called out, right before the shock collar was activated.

Before I could do anything, a pink glowing something flew straight at the guard holding Korkie. The second it touched the guard, it entered him, and he yelped right before losing conscience. Startled, the other guards stood there for a few seconds in shock. Just as they started to move…

"Or you could just stand still long enough for me to knock you out." Gwen jumped down from the rafters, another one of those glowing things in her hands.

A/N: Ok, I think, well technically know, that Gwen also followed Korkie. She just didn't reveal herself till now.

Next/last chapter will be sometime this week. Gwen is taking advantage of a lack of Anondite knowledge in these parts to use her powers to save the day.

Till next time, this is…

SkyTalon,

…Signing off!
