Thanks for the reveiws! I do not own Star Wars.

Ahsoka awoke to a headache. She heard the noise of a machine and for one wild moment, she thought she was back in the factory. Then she noticed the shape of the space she was in and realized she was in the cabin of a republic gunship.

Well, that explains the noise. But what happened?

Then she noticed the binders around her wrists and remembered. Rex stunned me! Why am I a prisoner in a republic gunship? What is going on?

There was a noise outside the gunship. Ahsoka guessed whoever was piloting the ship was heading for a planet. That guess was proved correct when, a while later, the gunship landed on solid ground.

Footsteps were headed for the cabin and Ahsoka quickly lay down and closed her eyes. It would be better if her enemies thought of her as weak.

"Have you got her, bounty hunter?" That was a deep, slightly threatening voice that Ahsoka recognized.

Count Dooku!

"Yes, my lord," a new voice hissed. It sounded reptilian. "And I have her lightsabers here."

Ahsoka tensed. She strained to hear the Count's answer.

"I do not want them," Dooku said dismissively. "Sell them, if you wish. They will fetch a hefty price, even here on a separatist world. But do not delay. I want to leave soon. No doubt Skywalker is already on your tail. It was not wise to leave your ship on a republic-controlled world."

Sell them? No!

"My lord, you instructed me to get off-world any way I could. This seemed like the only way. I must admit, it was hard to convince the blockade I was not a republic spy."

"I do not wish to hear your complaints, Mindar. Sell the lightsabers and let's be off."

This left Ahsoka's mind whirling with questions. What did Dooku, the leader of the Separatist Alliance and a Sith Lord, want with her, a Jedi Padawan? How did Rex tie into that?

I need to get out of here.

Dooku's footsteps had faded as well and Ahsoka assumed he had gone back to his own ship. She crept to the gunship's door and eased it open silently. She had only gone a few paces when a voice said, "Well, Tano, that didn't take long."

Ahsoka froze. Dooku was walking calmly toward her.

"Give up now, child. You are hopelessly outnumbered. A young Padawan on a enemy planet?"

Ahsoka had no intention of doing such a thing. She took off, her feet barely touching the ground.

Ahsoka took in her surroundings. She was in a spaceport in a bustling city.

That isn't necessarily a good thing. More people to capture you. None of these people would be willing to help you. And with binders on, they'll know you escaped from somewhere.

Ahsoka glanced at the rooftops. They were high, but Dooku and the bounty hunter wouldhave more trouble following her up there. Summoning the Force, Ahsoka leaped for the nearest roof. She tripped slightly upon landing and fresh pain shot through her already injured leg. She set off again, more slowly than before.

A stun blast shot past her and Ahsoka risked a glance backwards. A clawdite bounty hunter clad in full body armour flew behind her using a jetpack. He had a blaster in one hand and a green laser whip in the other.

On the other hand, the streets might be the better option.

Ahsoka jumped off the roof and found herself in a shabbier part of the city. This was good news to her; there were plenty more places to hide. She ducked into a dirty street and melted into the shadows. Now all she could hear was her ragged breathing.

Now what? I have no comlink, no lightsaber and I'm in the middle of a separatist haven.

Suddenly, a call came to her through the Force.

Ahsoka, are you alright?

Master! Ahsoka kicked herself for not thinking to use the Force to contact her Master sooner.Yeah, I'm alright, but I'm not sure for how long. I'm on a separatist planet and I'm being chased by Dooku and a bounty hunter.

You escaped?

Ahsoka could feel her Master's relief. Yes. I have no idea where I am, though..

Its a planet called Agamar. You are in the capital, Calna Muun.

How did you know that? Ahsoka was confused.

I found the bounty hunter's ship and went through his records. I had no idea he was working with Dooku, though.

Ahsoka suddenly remembered something that Dooku had said. I won't be on Agamar for long, not if the bounty hunter catches me. This was just a rendezvous point.

So, don't get caught. I'll be arriving on Agamar shortly.

Ahsoka groaned at Anakin's simple logic. What about Rex? He's the one who stunned me in the first place.

No, that was the clawdite with Rex's identity, Anakin told her. Oh, and Ahsoka? Do I really need to remind you that battle droids are for cutting up, not pairing up with? Especially sarcastic ones.

Ahsoka grinned, but that grin faded as a shadow passed overhead. The bounty hunter had found her.

She bolted from her hiding place and took off down the street, dodging stun blasts as she went.

Ahsoka?

Sorry, Master. I've been found again.

Hang in there, Ahsoka, I can see the planet now!

Ahsoka wasn't sure she could do that. Her leg was in too much pain to run, and the bounty hunter was closing in.

Backed up against a wall, Ahsoka had only one trick left. She reached for the power she had discovered on Gavern and focused it on the bounty hunter.

Against a wave of the Force, Mindar flew down the street and smashed into a pile of crates. Ahsoka wondered if he'd been knocked unconscious, but he stood shakily up and started toward her again.

It had been powerful, but apparently the bounty hunter had a hard head.

Ahsoka looked up. The roof was too high for her to jump and the buildings were crowding her from both sides. She had no choice but to surrender.

Deja Vu, she thought. Except this time I have no factory to blow up.

Ahsoka, what is going on?

Ahsoka had forgotten about Anakin. You know what you said about not getting caught?

Yeah?

I failed.
