Okay, I just couldn't be patient enough to wait for the third review, but I still want some reviews maybe some CC!
This is hopefully long, I'm seriously trying to make them longer and more detailed.
anyway, enjoy!
Chapter five, Ambush.
Fisto.
Fisto looked at where the hologram was supposed to be, nothing showed up. Fisto contacted Anakin. "Are you sure you hooked it up right?" Fisto asked him. Anakin paused. "Is it not working?" He asked. Fisto heard Ahsoka mutter. "What else could it be." Fisto gave her a firm look. She smiled innocently. "No, it isn't working." Fisto told Anakin, who sighed. "Give me a minute." Anakin said, definitely annoyed.
"Uh, master?." Fisto looked over at Ahsoka. "What is it?" What could it possibly be now. He wondered. "The, uh, the radars are jammed." Fisto's eyes widened. "What?" He hurried over and looked at the radars. He shook his head, they were being jammed. I hope that this is Anakins doing. Fisto thought, with what was going on in the ship, he would rather Anakin had made this happen by accident, not something worse on purpose.
Ahsoka was tense next to him, She watched the radars closely, just in case she could make something out. Fisto contacted Anakin. "Anakin?" He asked, but he just heard static. "Ahsoka, stay here, I need to go to the communications center." He told her, She nodded. "Fine." She said, still paying more attention to the radars. Fisto left Ahsoka and exited the bridge with five clones.
Fisto approached the communications center, him and the clones around him slowed, cautious of what might happen. They entered and saw the clones that had come with Anakin. They looked at them as they entered. "Hello, sir." One of them greeted. "Hello, trooper. Where is Anakin?" He asked.
"I'm right here." Anakin said as he slid out from under the machine. Fisto looked at him. "Did you disconnect the radars?" He asked.
"No. Where's Ahsoka?" Anakin asked. Fisto frowned, if it wasn't him, then who? "In the bridge." Fisto told him absently. Anakin nodded and went back to his work on the machine. "So," Anakin said halfway inside the machine. "The radars are out?" He asked. Fisto nodded, then remembered that Anakin couldn't see him. "Yes." He replied.
"Okay, I think I've fixed it. Try to contact the bridge." Anakin told Fisto, who did so, but once again, just static. Fisto shook his head. "Still not working." He said, Anakin sighed and got back to work.
Ahsoka.
Ahsoka stared at the radar, she gave up a minute after Master Fisto left. Now, she looked at the cameras, they were blank. It wouldn't matter anyway. She thought, they don't even show up on the cameras.
She sighed and put her chin on the heel of her hand, her fingers against her cheek. She looked around the bridge, it seemed so empty with so many clones gone. She shivered, though it wasn't cold. There were only four left in the room, there was supposed to be twenty in total, including the ten with Master Fisto and Skywalker, but one was dead, and five had left for a break, including the two that had fought the Vampire with her. Ahsoka wished that someone had kept them in the bridge, She wished that SHE had kept them in the bridge. No, that's not what I want, She thought. I wish that I'd never wished that this would be more exciting. Ahsoka shook her head, rubbing her chin against the heel of her hand.
Ahsoka thought she heard a creaking sound, she looked around for the source, but she didn't see anything. Ahsoka stood, the clones attention was immediately on her. She looked around the room, noticing movement in the vent. Ice ran down Ahsoka's back as she heard the vents creak again. Ahsoka grabbed her lightsaber, the clones got into ready positions.
There was a crash sound as the Vampire smashed through the vent. There were two other crashes as more Vampires smashed through other vents. Ahsoka looked at the three vampires, She was stunned to see that they all looked the same, but she recognized one, the blood still covered the face of the one she had fought before.
Ahsoka and the clones were surrounded. All three of the Vampires screeched in perfect unison. Clones dropped their weapon and covered their ears, Ahsoka's ears felt like they would explode, but she wasn't going to let go of her lightsaber, her lightsaber was her life, as Anakin would tell her. The Vampires stopped and attacked them, Ahsoka tried to protect the clones long enough for them to recover, but the Vampires were so fast, Ahsoka would have needed to be in three places at once to defend the clones. Ahsoka kicked one and swiped at another, almost at the same time.
Then, the third one, ignoring the clones, Hit Ahsoka square in the chest, She was thrown all the way to the other side of the other side of the bridge. She hit a control panel, She heard it break under the force of the impact, She gasped as it shocked her, and fell to the ground, paralyzed by the electricity surging threw her. Ahsoka's heart seemed to jump out of her chest, she couldn't think, she couldn't move, She was completely helpless, yet, the Vampires attacked the clones instead of her.
Ahsoka felt the electricity ebb away, she was able to move again. She lifted her head, the clones were all dead, and there was no sign of the Vampires. Ahsoka's thoughts were still mixed and confusing. What had just happened? Ahsoka tried to piece the puzzle and it started coming back to her.
Her limbs shook as she started crawling toward where her lightsaber was, she picked it up and leaned against the side of a radar, hidden from the sight of the door. She slowly lost consciousness.
Anakin.
"well," Anakin said. "There's no problems with the radar wires." Anakin shook his head, He had looked at every wire that he could find, and there were no problems with anything other then the missing wires for communicating far distances.
Fisto was completely silent for a moment. Then, "We need to get back to the bridge, NOW!" Anakin heard Fisto Leave. Anakin slid out and followed. What is he sensing? Anakin wondered, his heart beating quickly as adrenaline raced through his veins.
Anakin saw the bridge ahead, the door had been forced open and some wires hung from the top of the doorway. Anakin immediately worried for his padawan. What has happened?! He thought, but he already knew what had happened, and that was what worried him.
He entered the bridge behind Master Fisto, He looked around the room, he saw the four dead clones on the ground, they had the same wounds as the other clone who had been killed by the Vampire.
Anakin scowled. There were the clones, but where was Ahsoka? He saw that one of the control panels had been crushed by something. "Ahsoka?" He called cautiously. There was no answer.
He walked over to the control panel and surveyed the damage. "Anakin!" Anakin heard master Fisto call him. He turned and hurried over. Anakin saw Ahsoka, undamaged by the Vampire, but she was unconscious.
She was up against the side of a radar system. Fisto lifted her head, she opened her eyes. "Hi, masters." She said. Relief flooded over Anakin. "What happened, exactly." Anakin asked her, she frowned. "There are three Vampires." She told them. Now, Anakin frowned. Three... He shook his head.
Fisto stood. "This was no accident." He said. "Someone is jamming our radar, and these Vampires didn't just appear out of nowhere." Anakin helped Ahsoka up, they both stood. Ahsoka was unsteady, so Anakin had to help steady her. "You're right, this was no accident." Anakin agreed, Ahsoka nodded, not trusting her tongue.
Then, she seemed to remember something. "Masters," She said. "One of the Vampires threw me across the room and I landed on the control panel," She indicated it. "And, they didn't attack me, even though I was..." She trailed off, Anakin knew she was about to say "Helpless" but he didn't finish for her. Fisto thought for a moment. "Hmm, we'll need to figure that out, it might save someone's life."
