Chapter 3

Refuge

Ahsoka narrowed her eyes as she guided the star cruiser toward the coordinates her master had given her. She glanced at her fight at Ferus Olin, Barriss Offee and Jax Pavan as the three Jedi examined her. "What?" she asked.

"Are you sure we can trust Anakin?" Ferus asked. Ahsoka knew that the young Jedi didn't trust Anakin but she also knew that Anakin was right in giving her those coordinates.

"I know my master," she said in reply to Ferus's question. "He wouldn't send innocent children to their deaths. If Anakin says that this High Lord Zylar will let us stay on Ziost then I believe him."

"We're placing the lives of ten younglings and Padawans on the shoulders of a man who was exiled from the Jedi Order for marrying and siring twin children," Jax said softly. "But if you believe that he is speaking the truth than I won't argue with you."

Barriss narrowed her eyes slightly. "I hope that the Masters will be able to get the other Jedi younglings and Padawans off of Zharan," she said softly.

"I'm sure they will, Barriss," Ahsoka said glancing briefly at the Mirialan as she sighed slightly.

"I hope so," she admitted. She paused for a moment before adding, "Are we going to join the rebellion that's forming after we drop off the younglings and Padawans?"

"Maybe but it depends on if I can get a hold of Anakin and if you want to join the rebellion," Ahsoka replied. She turned her gaze to the bluish white flashes of hyperspace. "We can't even be sure as to where the rebellion is located."

"That is true," Jax admitted. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "It looks as though we are coming out of hyperspace."

Ahsoka nodded before placing her orange skinned hands on the control yoke of the star cruiser before she guided her planet out of hyperspace. A large dark green planet rose up in front of them and the Togruta guided the star cruiser toward the planet. "This must be Ziost," she said.

"I hope so," Barriss said quietly.

"The planet's contacting us," Ferus said flicking on the comlink switch.

"Unidentified vessel, please land and turn yourselves in or we will be forced to shot you down," a voice sounded over the comm.

"We have younglings onboard," Ahsoka protested.

"Then I suggest you land so that you will not endanger those younglings," the voice replied dryly before it disappeared as the person at the opposite end of the comm disconnected the transmission.

"Theseare the people we are supposed to leave this younglings and Padawans with?" Ferus demanded incredulously as Ahsoka guided the star cruiser toward the landing pad that lay outside the only inhabited city on Ziost. "Trust Anakin to lead us to a place like this."

"Calm down, Ferus. If they can provide us with refuge from the Empire then we may as well take them seriously," Ahsoka said. She shut down the main engines of the star cruiser before getting to her feet when she spotted several dark robed figures walking down the landing pad to join the ship.

"Let's go speak with them," Barriss suggested.

"Good idea," Jax agreed. He followed Ahsoka and Barriss as they led the way out of the star cruiser while Ferus stayed behind to help stop the Padawans and younglings from panicking.

The leader of the group walked forward as Ahsoka, Barriss and Jax came to a stop at the bottom of the boarding ramp. "I am Mylani, advisor to the High Lord of the Tribe of the Lost Sith," the leader greeted him.

"Sith!" Jax exclaimed, his eyes shooting wide with shock.

Ahsoka was equally as shocked. What has Anakin been up to these past five years?she thought. "Hello, I am Ahsoka Tano, I was told to give High Lord Zylar a message," she said.

Mylani glanced over his shoulder before stepping aside and a dark robed figure walked to his side. "I am High Lord Zylar, Jedi Tano," the figure said calmly.

Jax was startled. "How did he know we were Jedi?" he whispered to Barriss.

"I don't know," Barriss whispered back.

"Hello, I was told to tell you that Anakin Skywalker is calling in the debt that he says you owe him. He wants you to give refuge to and protect the Jedi younglings and Padawans that we have brought with us," Ahsoka said.

"Skywalker?" Mylani echoed.

"How can we be sure that you are speaking the truth?" Zylar asked.

"Shouldn't you be able to sense it if we are not telling the truth?" Jax asked.

"Perhaps but I would prefer stronger proof than a mere sense in the Force," the High Lord replied.

Ahsoka narrowed her eyes, ready to give a sharp retort, until an idea came into her mind. She glanced over her shoulder at Jax. "Jax, can you go get my comlink? I think the only way we can convince him is if he hears it from Anakin himself," she said.

"Good thinking," Jax agreed before he turned around and jogged back into the ship. He reappeared a moment later with Ferus just behind him and he made his way quickly to Ahsoka's side before handing her the comlink.

Ahsoka quickly dialed her master's frequency before waiting as patiently as possible for Anakin to answer. "Ahsoka? You really have a knack for calling at interesting moments," Anakin's familiar voice sounded and Ahsoka chuckled before switching her comlink into a certain mode so that her master's holographic image appeared before her. She noticed that he was still sitting in the cockpit of the Azure Angel II.

"Sorry, Master, but High Lord Zylar said he wanted more proof than just a feeling in the Force," Ahsoka replied.

"Typical," Anakin muttered dryly. "Is he there now?"

"Yes, he's right here," Ahsoka replied before she moved the comlink to where Zylar was within view of Anakin.

"It's good to see you again, Skywalker, you look well," Zylar greeted him.

"I've been much better, High Lord. I really can't talk that long because the Alliance is getting ready to make a jump to hyperspace so I'll have to make this quick. You owe me, High Lord, and you know it. I'm calling in that debt, as my Padawan probably told you, and I want you to give refuge to and protect the younglings and Padawans that Ahsoka brought with her," Anakin replied.

"Very well, Skywalker. We do owe you our lives and we will do as you ask of us. What of your Padawan and the three other Jedi that are with her?" Zylar asked.

"They may leave when they wish," Anakin replied.

"Very well, Skywalker."

Ahsoka turned the comlink around so that Anakin was looking at her. "Do you know where you're going to be in a few days or so? Because I'm planning on joining you. I can't say the same for Barriss, Jax and Ferus, however," she said.

"I'm not sure yet, we've been traveling around constantly since Lok," Anakin replied. "But I'll let you know when I find out."

"Dad! Mon Mothma said that we're going to jump to hyperspace now," a voice sounded in the background.

"All right, Luke," Anakin called back before looking at Ahsoka. "I'd better go now, Ahsoka, I'll see you again before long no doubt. Try not to demolish any more fighters on your way to rendezvous with me." With that, Anakin disconnected the transmission before Ahsoka could reply to his statement.

"I hate it when he does that," Ahsoka muttered as she put her comlink back onto her belt.

"Can we trust these Sithto keep their promise?" Ferus asked. Ahsoka noticed that he wasn't too happy and she figured Jax had told him what happened when he went to get her comlink.

"I don't know about them but I think we can trust them to keep their promise to Anakin," Ahsoka replied.

"We owe our very lives to Skywalker, Jedi Tano," Zylar said. "He nearly gave his life for our Tribe and he stayed to help us when he didn't have to. We will give refuge and protect your younglings and Padawans for while they stay on Ziost."

Ferus didn't look convinced but Ahsoka couldn't sense any deceit in the High Lord. She glanced at Barriss. "What do you say?" she asked.

"I say we will have to trust him," Barriss replied. "We have no other placed to go, after all, and I don't think the Empire will be able to find Ziost or would even want to find Ziost, it's too far beyond Kamino to be given a second thought after all."

"That is true," Ferus agreed grudgingly. "Very well. Jax, why don't we go tell the Padawans and younglings that they'll be making their new home here."

"Good idea," Jax replied and Ahsoka watched as the two Jedi Knights made their way back into the star cruiser. She glanced at Barriss before looking at the High Lord of the Tribe of the Lost Sith.

"Thank you for your help, High Lord," she said.

Zylar nodded once in reply. "You are welcome. I owe your master everything after all," he replied.

Ahsoka nodded before turning around and following Barriss as the Mirialan Jedi led the way after Jax and Ferus back into the cruiser to get the Jedi Padawans and younglings.

Luke gazed at the hyperspace lanes with huge eyes before looking up when Anakin knelt down beside him and put an arm around his small shoulders. The five-year-old boy smiled before climbing into his father's lap as Anakin sat down next to him. "Where are we going now?" he asked curiously resting his head on Anakin's chest.

Anakin shrugged. "I don't know," he admitted. "Admiral Ackbar and Mon Mothma haven't told me yet."

"Oh." Luke fell silent before adding, "Where's Leia?"

"With Obi-Wan and Sillia," Anakin replied.

"Is Uncle Obi-Wan gonna marry Sillia?"

Anakin laughed. "I doubt our melodramatic old friend would do such a life changing thing," he said just as the door slide open and Obi-Wan and Sillia, followed by Leia and Padmé, walked into the room.

"I'm not melodramatic or old," Obi-Wan protested.

Luke laughed before looking at Leia as she walked forward before climbing onto Anakin's lap. Anakin shifted his grip on Luke so that his daughter could sit on his lap with him. He wrapped his other arm around Leia's shoulders before looking up at Obi-Wan and Sillia.

"So what does my melodramatic old master want?" he asked curiously.

"Will you stop that?" Obi-Wan responded curtly.

Padmé chuckled. "Obi-Wan actually has some good news, Ani," she said, interrupting any reply Anakin might have had on his mind before walking over to join her husband.

"Oh?" Anakin raised an eyebrow. "And what kind of good news is that? Are you finally going to stop giving lectures on everything that I have done that was against the Jedi Code?"

Obi-Wan smiled. "Even now, I'm not going to stop those lectures because they annoy you," he said. "But no, that's not my news." He turned to look at Sillia as the blonde young woman smiled faintly, her green eyes narrowing slightly.

Anakin smiled, a knowing gleam entering his eyes and Luke frowned as he gazed up at his father. "Do you know what's going on, Dad?" he asked.

Anakin's grin grew a bit bigger. "I'm pretty sure that I do but let's wait until Obi-Wan finally manages to get what he wants to say out," he said.

Luke smiled before looking at Obi-Wan. "So what is it, Uncle Obi-Wan?" he asked.

Obi-Wan sighed. "Sillia and I are getting married," he said finally.

"I knew it!" Anakin exclaimed happily. "I knew it was only a matter of time. Better now than later as I always say."

Obi-Wan scowled. "Do you mind?" He asked.

"No, I don't mind," Anakin replied still grinning.

Obi-Wan sighed before rolling his eyes skyward. "Anyway, Sillia and I have spent much time with each other since we met five-years-ago and I realize that I do love her," he replied.

"Aw," Leia said smiling, her chocolate brown eyes filled with amusement and approval.

"When's the wedding?" Luke asked curiously.

Sillia shrugged. "We've spoken to Mon Mothma about it and she suggests that we get it over with before we reach the planet were our next base is going to be located," she said. She looked at Padmé. "Will you be my maid of honor, Padmé?"

Padmé smiled. "I'll be honored," she said. She glanced pointedly at Anakin before adding, "I didn't have a maid of honor at my wedding after all."

"You knew that no one could know about our wedding, Padmé," Anakin pointed out.

"Yes but I still wish I had a maid of honor."

"When we renew our vows, you can have one."

Padmé smiled. "I'd like that," she said.

"Though not know, we haven't even been married for a decade yet so I think it's a bit early to renew our vows. Besides I think we should focus on Obi-Wan and Sillia's wedding," Anakin said. He turned to look at Obi-Wan before adding, "Of course I'm going to be your best man, right?"

Obi-Wan sighed. "Well, Luke's too young to be my best man so I guess you'll do," he said though Luke noticed his eyes were glimmering with amusement and he realized that his Uncle was joking.

Anakin laughed, clearly seeing that he was joking as well. "So when is the wedding likely to take place?" he asked.

Obi-Wan shrugged. "I wanted it right away but Sillia insists that, since she has never known what it would be like to have a big wedding because of her life with the Tribe of the Lost Sith, the wedding will be a big one," he muttered.

"I'm so glad I got married to Padmé in secret," Anakin muttered under his breath and Luke noticed it was too low for anyone other than him and Leia to hear.

Luke chuckled slightly before shifting in Anakin's grip and he glanced down at him as Luke opened his jaws wide in a long yawn. "You look sleepy," Anakin commented. He gently lowered the twins to the ground before standing up. "Why don't we take you back to your rooms so that you can get some sleep?"

Luke nodded and Anakin took his hand and Leia's hand before leading them toward their room.

"It's odd. I've never seen Anakin act this way before," Obi-Wan commented after Anakin disappeared into the room that his twin children shared.

"Being a father has definitely changed him," Padmé agreed.

"Indeed," Sillia agreed. She narrowed her eyes slightly. "There are still some parts of him, however, that I find a bit surprising. He still has the anger inside of him that I felt when I first met him in the Tribe," she added.

"That is true," Obi-Wan admitted. He sighed. "I think that he will always have that kind of anger within him. It's like that anger is apart of him and that anger has always made me fear for him."

"Me too," Padmé agreed.

"He's a powerful Jedi, though, and you can't forget the Force prophecy that was whispered to us," Sillia pointed out. "Anakin is destined to bring balance to the Force but none of us know what that truly means."

"No we don't. The Jedi Prophecy is much too complex that no one can understand what the prophecy is actually trying to say," Obi-Wan said. He glanced toward the door that Anakin had disappeared into. "And I fear that he may once again start using his anger to achieve his goals as he used to do when he was once my Padawan."

"We have to hope that he won't," Padmé said.

"I, on the other hand, see no problem in that," Sillia said a bit coolly. "But then again, I was raised among dark side users."

Obi-Wan smiled faintly before he put an arm around Sillia's shoulders and gently pressed his lips against hers. She smiled before wrapping her arms around Obi-Wan's neck and kissing him soundly back.

"I'll leave you two be," Padmé said before she disappeared into her children's room to give Obi-Wan and Sillia a bit of privacy.
