Ahsoka's POV

As soon as the babies were pretty much settled down and Padme was discharged from the hospital, the Council sent Anakin and I off to our mission immediately. Apparently they were anxious to snuff out the remaining powers of the Separatists, in case they gained power and rose again. Though it was pretty impossible (seeing as Grievous had been successfully defeated by Master Windu, who was sent to capture him instead of Obi-wan and also Dooku himself was killed by my um, former master).

Personally, I was excited to go on a mission. I hadn't had one ever since the Temple bombing accident, and I never really had the chance to talk to or reconcile with the clones.

At the hangar, aboard a ship and waiting for us, was Captain Rex, dressed in his armor. The rest of the clones were buzzing about, readying the resources and weapons, all pretty enthusiastic about ending the war.

' General Skywalker, Commander Tano,' He nodded at us. ' The troops are ready to take off.'

' Then prepare for take off,' Anakin said.

Behind us, R2D2 beeped cheerfully in response, and whizzed around.

Then all of us walked to the bridge; as R2D2 prepped for take off, where Anakin would brief us about the following mission. It was pretty easy. Infiltrate the place, blast all the droids if necessary, surround the leaders and arrest them on the spot.

' Intelligence has detected a brief floor plan of the Mustafar system. It may not be perfectly in scale, but it should be okay. Rex, I need you to separate the men into two groups. Part of them will accompany Ahsoka and I on the arresting. The remaining will stay outside as back up, in case the Separatists have more droids than we expected,' Anakin ordered over a battle map.

' Yes sir,' Rex answered.

' At the meantime, you can all just mooch around. We won't be arriving in less than an hour,' Anakin said. ' I will inform you if when we are ten minutes away.' And the clones were dismissed from the room.

I didn't really have plans for the free time, so I just sat on a spare seat and daydreamed.

I didn't really like the sound of Mustafar, to be honest. I remembered what Darth Vader said. After all, it was originally the place where Obi-wan would chop off Anakin's legs and arm, leaving him to burn on the fiery shores of the planet if Anakin hadn't vanquished Sidious. Sure, the mission sounded fun, but the place brought me chills.

' Are you okay, Ahsoka?' Anakin must have noticed my pursed lip. ' You look a bit troubled.'

' Nothing,' I said. ' Just… Um, nervous about the mission.'

' Seriously? Since when are you nervous about missions? Like the last time where we went to the Citadel, you insisted to come even if I didn't let you,' He exclaimed.

I scowled, ' No, I am not nervous about the mission itself. It is just I don't like the place.'

' Come on, how bad can it be? I bet Mortis is even scarier than Mustafar,' He snorted jokingly.

After a couple minutes of awkward silence, I said, ' Remember Darth Vader?'

' Sure, my evil twin from the faraway alternate timeline who killed Obi-wan, and thought he only had a son while in fact he also had a daughter.'

' Anakin.'

' Fine. He is my evil self. What's the matter about that dude?'

' Originally, if you had turned to the dark side,' I looked at him pointedly. ' Mustafar would be the place where Obi-wan would chop off your arms and legs and leave you to burn on the shores. And also did I mention that would be where you almost killed Padme. Like, you can't blame me for chickening at out the sound of that evil place.'

Anakin rolled his eyes nonchalantly, ' Snips, you worry too much. Like how is that supposed to happen?'

' How can I not worry?' I yelped.

' Fine. What if I promise you I won't dive into the fire river and duel Obi-wan? Besides, Obi-wan isn't here for the mission, and also I can't die. I have kids to raise,' He raised his hands as a sign of surrender.

' Also try not to murder the Separatist leaders. We are supposed to tie them up in a huge bunch and bring them back to Coruscant,' I added.

' Fine.'

' Alright,' I said, satisfied with his answer. ' Then I am all ready to dig into this mission.'

' I'll leave you here to meditate or get ready,' He stood up. ' I need to go to the cockpit to see how R2D2 is doing. You know, he could get a little bit carried away from his job sometimes. I don't want to end up in Felucia or Zygerria. I really hate Zygerria, especially after visiting that slave market.'

' Oh gosh, you are not the only one who hates Zygerria. Go on quick!' I said, horrified at the thought of the slave planet.

He ran out of the room.

After fifteen minutes, Anakin came back with Captain Rex, ' We are ten minutes away from landing on Mustafar.' Sure, when I looked out of the window, we were approaching a giant fiery planet that resembled a ball of fire (literally). I could almost feel the heat.

In a while, we landed on a metal platform in the middle of a giant lake of lava that looked pretty dangerous and glowed orange red. There were no droids in sight. Yet.

' R2, guard the ship. I don't think the process will take more than two hours. When we are back, I'll expect you to be ready for take off,' I could hear Anakin instructing to blue and white droid. It clicked merrily as an answer and wheeled away back onto the ship.

We hadn't made it more than a couple miles far when a couple droids that were on-guard spotted us.

' Ahhh, Jedi!' One shouted, and all the others prepared to shoot.

I ignited my yellow and green lightsabers, and held them in a defensive stance. Anakin did the same, and his lightsaber flared up in blue. Captain Rex and the other troopers raised blasters, ready to fire.

' C'mon, Skywalker-Tano team, we have tinnies to destroy,' Anakin grinned evilly.

And we charged.
