"I have a bad feeling about this." Ahsoka muttered, walking down the halls of the prison. They are trying to free Obi-Wan Kenobi, after he was captured by Separatist army forces. Ahsoka bit her lip and looked up at her Master, Anakin Skywalker. "Can you sense him?" She asked.
"No. I can't sense anything in this Marsh Pit!" He swore. She tried to reach out to Obi-Wan as well... But to no avail, she couldn't sense him either. "What do we do?" She asked. Just then, Her master tried to touch a door but once he put his palm on the metal, there was an electrical shock that ran through his body several times until he could smell smoke.
"Master!" Ahsoka cried in distress. But there was a loud beeping sound... "The alarm! Ahsoka, get out of here!" Anakin shouted to his Padawan. "I'm not leaving you!" She said, keeping her ground. "Get out of here, now! Go to the exit, find Rex! Leave me!" He said, trying to detach his metal hand from the door but it was melted on. "Go! Now!" He yelled at her. She quickly turned the corner and ran for it.
Once upon reaching the exit, Ahsoka spotted the "Twilight". She jumped from the high window and landed on the ground below the balcony. "We need to leave, now!" She told the clones, trying to hold off the incoming clankers. Rex was one of them. "Where's General Skywalker?" Commander Cody asked. Ahsoka bit her lip. "He's in trouble. But he told us to evacuate." She said. "You heard her! Get one board, now!" He yelled. Everyone but Rex boarded the ship. "Rex! Come on!" Ahsoka grabbbed his arm and pulled him in the ship that now took off to Coruscant to the Jedi Temple.
Once inside the Temple, Ahsoka went to a safe room where she thought she needed to meditate... To reach out and sense her Master... She could sense him... He was in pain! She winced as more pain came to Anakin and then it was so intense, she dropped to her knees and screamed.
"General! Are you alright?" Rex was sent into a panic, dropping next to his commanding officer who was sweating and shaking. Gasps of air escaped Ahsoka's lips as she tried to steady herself on the palms of her hands. "General... Ahsoka, Look at me!" He snapped, throwing his blaster rifle across the room of the ship and grabbing her shoulders. She was expecting this sort of outburst from him so all she did was breathe heavy and stare into the eyes of her Captain... The pain started to fade as she lost contact with her master.
"I'm... I'm sorry, Rex, I- I think Anakin's in trouble... Big trouble." She panted as he helped her to her feet. "Well, you heard the General, Ahsoka... We can't go back." He pointed out. "I know... That's why we need some help." She bit her lip and went to the Cockpit... The ship lurched from Hyperspace and then came to a sudden stop, engines failing.
"What's Happening?!" Starter shouted from the Navi- Computers. "The engines are failing... Hold onto something!" Ahsoka yelled, grabbing the seats for support before the ship started to make a long descent to a uncharted planet. The smell of char and smoke filled the Togruta's nose as the ship started to speed up. Ahsoka saw flames and knew that this was gonna be one heck of a crash. The minute the ship touched the ground, Ahsoka's whole body was flung forward and she smashed her face into the controls of the ship, and was out in 3 seconds.
The flames were engulfing the ship... And the leader of the Militia, didn't want to watch the forest go up in flames. He called out to the men and they sped towards the smoldering wreckage of the ship. They carried them out, clone by clone, but stopped short, finding Ahsoka on the floor, a gash in her cheek... Her lightsabers hanging at her waist. The men looked at each other. "A Jedi... We should take her to our leader... She'll know what to do." They grabbed Ahsoka's arms and legs and carried her to the horses. They slung her body over one horse, tying her to the saddle. (Yeah, A real damned horse, people!)
"Move out!" The Leader shouted. They all started walking they're horses back to home base... A safe zone. It's an uncharted planet for Separatists and Republic to hide from the wars. They're is a cloaking device on the planet that cannot be destroyed, rendering their planet invisible, even. Unable to be tracked on a Navi-Computer.
The horses neared the village and some people gasped when they saw... They're always afraid of Jedi, especially when they're armed. But not for long. They reached their leader's tent and pulled the flaps back. "Gracie..." The leader asked. "Yes, Demitri?" She looked up from the papers and Holobooks on her desk and at Demitri. "We have an intruder... She's a Jedi." He stated. "Send her in." Gracie put down the datapad and waited. The horse entered the tent and she saw the unconscious Togruta teenager.
"Her ship must've crashed... It wasn't very far from here." He said. Two guards took Ahsoka off the horse and tied her wrists and ankles to a chair. "Send out the troops. Bring back anybody that was with her. I don't expect her to tell the truth." They mounted their horses and galloped away. Gracie reached around Ahsoka and took her lightsabers from her.
It took a while for the troops to return, but they brought back everyone. They put them down in Gracie's tent and she cuffed them... Stun Cuffs are usually used on Jedi but they'll have to do... Minutes passed and Gracie was pacing circles around Ahsoka... Just then, she heard a groan from her. Gracie stood in front of Ahsoka as her head raised.
"Master?" Was the first thing she asked. "Not exactly..." Gracie smiled at the teenager. Her eyes flashed as her vision became clearer. She struggled but the ropes held her in place. "Why am I here?! Who do you think you are?!" She was pissed. But Gracie didn't as much as flinch. "I think I'm the Leader of this camp and you and your men are trespassers." She stated, crossing her arms over her robes and long gown.
Ahsoka bit her lip. "Our ship crashed when our Hyperspace drive gave out. We're not trespassing. If anything, we're fugitives." She stated. Gracie smiled. "How do I know you're not lying?" She said.
"Jedi don't lie... Where are the clones?" Ahsoka was concerned now. "They're fine. Unconscious but fine." Gracie pointed to the men, backs pressed to the wall and cuffed. Ahsoka breathed in. "Are you going to kill us?" She was afraid of the answer... "No... If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it already... With this." She held up Ahsoka's lightsaber.
Ahsoka expected nothing less... So she sighed. "Then, why am I still here?" she asked. Gracie bit her lip. "Tell me your name... And what happened before you crashed." She said. "My name is Ahsoka Tano and before we crashed, we were trying to rescue Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi." She said. Those words hit Gracie like a ton of bricks... "Obi-Wan? What happened?" Gracie was now fearing the worst for him. "Well... We don't know. He could be dead for all we know." Ahsoka bit her lip...
"But... But that's impossible... I know Obi-Wan and he doesn't go down without a fight!" Gracie leaned over the table of datapads and gasped. "He does when he's captive by a psychotic Cyborg... And I can't help him, and my master, unless you let me go." Ahsoka then felt something from Gracie... Something she never felt... Gracie was glowing. And it was bright.
Her heart was filled with sadness but also happiness. But then... There was force in her. The Force was coursing through her veins and Ahsoka felt more Force from this woman than her time on Mortis. It was very strong in her...
"How do you know Obi-Wan, if I can ask?" Ahsoka asked, peering to the leader... Gracie sucked in a long breath before speaking again.
"He-..." Gracie was stuttering. Something she rarely did...Then she spoke in a hushed tone... But Ahsoka heard loud and clear.
"He's my brother."
