"She shoots, she scores!" Ahsoka suddenly shouted, "Zeos Maloran is joining the Republic." As she started to dance in cheer, Anakin smiled at her comedic behavior.

"What happened?" asked the jedi. Ahsoka threw her phone to Anakin and sat in the couch opposite of him. Her master read the message out loud:

Dooku was forced to leave and I'm on my way home.

Anakin was relieved to read the message, but couldn't help but be a little confused. "How did you know?" he asked Ahsoka.

"During my training here, I found out that the Sith had come to Earth long ago."

"What?"

"Except here, they're called the Redblades. Eutopus was nearly enslaved by the Sith if it wasn't for the Arca-knights. Ever since, Eutopus has sworn to destroy any who hold a red lightsaber."

"Perfect," Anakin threw the phone back to Ahsoka. "Then we have nothing to fear-"

Suddenly, the front door slammed open. "Ahsoka!" shouted the voice of Zeos. Ahsoka and Anakin immediately ran to the front door to know what was wrong.

"Zeos, what's wrong?" Ahsoka asked her sensei.

"What's wrong is that my apprentice has been keeping secrets."

"What?"

"You knew that these 'Sith' were the Redblades and you never told me."

"What were you thinking, Ahsoka?" Jenna said, "You shouldn't have kept something like this hidden."

"Oh don't give me that crap, Jenna," Zeos retorted. Jenna was surprised at Zeos' sudden anger. "I know you joined Anakin in battlefields during your training."

"W-Well yes, but I never saw them in combat."

"It's true Zoes," Anakin defended, "Besides, Count Dooku and Ventress are the only Sith that we know that have joined the Separatists."

"Exactly, Anakin," Zeos immediately exclaimed, "That you know. For all we know, the Sith could be in the thousands and we wouldn't know." Zeos let out a frustrated sigh and walked around.

"Zeos, what's wrong?" Ahsoka asked. "Since the Redblades are sided with the Separatists, hasn't that just made up your mind?"

"It's not that simple, Ahsoka," Jenna said.

"Well, why not?"

"Because I was going to join the Separatists before Dooku came here." The whole room reacted at Zeos' unexpected comment. Jenna was surprised, Anakin was angered, and Ahsoka felt slightly betrayed. Zeos held his forehead and let out another sigh. "I need some air," he said and walked out to the other room.

"Ahsoka, how could you?" Jenna exclaimed as soon as Zeos was completely gone.

"What do you mean? I didn't make up her mind."

"Not that. You lied to Zeos."

"I didn't lie to him."

"But you withheld the truth from him." Jenna was right; Ahsoka knew who the Redblades were the moment Zeos explained them to her. "Why didn't you tell him?" Jenna asked.

Before Ahsoka could answer, the three heard the roaring sound of an engine and the acceleration of a motorcycle. They looked outside to find Zeos driving his motorcycle away.

"Oh great," Jenna said.

"Where is he going?" Anakin asked.

"I don't know. Whenever he gets over stressed, he gets on his bike and drives to god knows where."

"Well, someone has to know. What about you, Ahso-" Anakin cut himself off when he realized Ahsoka was gone.

"Where'd she go?" Jenna asked as she noticed the missing Togrutan. Before they began to search, they heard the sound of a starting motor again. The two rushed to the downstairs garage and found Ahsoka on a red and black street bike. She gave a salute to the two and sped away.

"Now where's she going?" Jenna asked.

Ahsoka drove all the way to the closed factory district, near the edge of the Eutopus wall. Closed districts were what Zeos used in case of emergency situations; closed factory districts were in case unemployment was too high. Ahsoka Knew Zeos hid here whenever the pressure of the world became too great, she just didn't know where. She searched all of Zeos' local hideouts until finally she found Zeos' white street bike; the same model as Ahsoka's. The problem was that there was no sign of Zeos. She parked next to his bike and took a look around. There, she found a ladder and climbed it. On top of the building, she found her mentor in floating meditation.

"How did you know I come here," Asked Zeos as she approached closer.

"You said you sought salvation in the city's points of salvation," she said, "After some research, this one seemed perfect to me."

Zeos rose to his feet. "Clever girl, you are." Ahsoka smiled; she was happy to see Zeos in his humorous state. As she walked to his side, she noticed why Zeos chose this spot. The sunlight across the skyscrapers made a beautiful scene to meditate by. But now was not the time to meditate.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Zeos asked. Ahsoka turned to her mentor who stared at her with eyes of disappointment. Ahsoka was ashamed of what she did, so she thought it was time to come clean. "To be honest, I did it because I knew you'd freak out. I kind of wanted to be there to see it."

Ahsoka braced herself for whatever Zeos was about to throw at her, but she never expected what would happen next. Zeos started to laugh.

"You're…You're not mad?" Ahsoka asked.

"A-A little," Zeos said while regaining his composure, "But let's face it, I'd do the same thing." The two laughed with one another. However, there was a question on Ahsoka's mind as well.

"Zeos were you really going to join the separatists?" she asked. Zeos slowly stopped his laughing and looked to his apprentice.

"I'm sorry, Ahsoka," Zeos said. "It's not that I hate the Republic, I just know they'll not like me."

"How can you say that?" Ahsoka questioned, "You'd be great with us."

"In battle, yes. But do you think the senate would want a million year old tyrannical dictator on their side."

"Please, the senate doesn't care how planets govern themselves. Besides, you'd look like Mother Tiara-"

"Teresa."

"-Teresa next to some of those blood-sucking politicians."

"Nice of you to say, but I'm still old as hell."

"Again, they don't care about how you run your planet. As long as the citizens are happy, they'll stay out of your business." Zeos rested his face in his palm. Ahsoka wasn't easing up one bit.

"Ahsoka," Zeos said sternly, "My Empire is built on slavery." Ahsoka opened her mouth to retort, but nothing was said. It was true Eutopus used slaves, but the methods of Zeos were just. After all, his slaves were…

"Your slaves are criminals!" Ahsoka blurted out. Zeos sighed out of annoyance as she continued. "The republic will think it's your form of…justice system." Zeos chuckled at her excessive debating.

"Ahsoka," he said, "you should drop the Jedi work and go into law school. You find a loophole in anything." The two smiled with one another, but Zeos soon faded away. Ahsoka could tell Zeos was still thinking about what to do.

"Zeos," she said and he turned to her. "As your Republic ambassador: I feel we are the right choice for your planet. As your student, I feel you should do what you think is the right choice." Zeos wasn't sure what Ahsoka was doing, besides contradicting herself. "But as your friend, I will accept any choice you make." That was something Zeos understood. "Even if it's the wrong choice," she finished with. Zeos gave her a friendly push as the two laughed.

"Come on," Zeos said, "Lets grab a hot dog. I'm starving."

"Sounds like a plan," Ahsoka replied.
