Hello! Once again, sorry for the wait and I hope this one is good, I had trouble writing it :/ Rate and Review!
Ahsoka walked threw the doors leading to the hangar where her jedi straighter awaited her. The room was quiet, only a few maintenance droids scrambled around the room.
She walked up to her ship where R7 rested in power-saving mode.
"R7!" Ahsoka called to him.
R7 beeped to life at hearing her voice. R7 beeped something to her in the standard astromech sounds.
"I know I haven't come to visit you in a while….things have been busy!" She said trying to hide her face slightly ashamed.
The door lifted up revealing her good-as-new cockpit. It had been forever since she had last gone into a battle in this thing!
"Well, it's now or never!" She said to herself as she thought back to her past experiences piloting this ship. A drop of sweat became visible on her forehead.
R7 noticed her uneasiness and beeped asking where they were going to get her attention.
Ahsoka jumped a little in surprise,"We are going to the Dagobah system."
Ahsoka crawled in her cockpit and the door shut closing her in as all the lights suddenly flashed on bringing light into the small, compact area.
R7 beeped in confusion. He knew the Dagobah system was not populated by any intelligent life form.
"I'm meeting someone there, someone by the name of, Sage Ornate.." She said narrowing her brows. She was still nervous about meeting him.
The engines started up and the Star fighter slowly lifted off the ground and shot out of the hangar.
Lux saw his dad. They stood side by side fishing off of a water-speeder that was hovering only a foot above the water. Lux remembered that day, he was only six. His Father was home only for the weekend and had promised before he left he would take him fishing.
"Dad, I'm getting something!" Lux shouted as his rod began to curve from the fish pulling the bate under.
"Here, let me help you!" Lux's Father said as he dropped his pole to the side and took hold of Lux's hands. Only moments later the fish was out of the water and in the boat.
"Look, Daddy! I caught it! I caught it!" Lux shouted as he watched the fish flop around hoping to un-hook itself.
"You sure did, son!" His Father said smiling down at him as he took him into a hug.
"Daddy, can I keep it?" Lux asked as he stared into his dads eyes.
"No, son, he wants to go home to his family! Without them", he said as he sat Lux down and un-hooked the fish,"He will never know true happiness."
Lux watched as his dad dropped the fish into the water. He smiled feeling good for himself to have done something good.
Tears came to Lux's eyes as he watched that moment of his life relived. Grief and anger also arose with in him to think that his Dad was no longer with him and that the clones had been the ones that killed him!
Then as if a movie changing scenes, he was in the gardens at his old home. He saw he and Ahsoka sitting next to each other exchanging memories. He remembered the first time he had met her, he would have never thought he would be as close to her as he was now.
"Do you have parents? Or a family of your own?" Lux asked Ahsoka. A frown grew on her face making Lux wish he had never asked.
"To be honest, I don't know where my parents are, or if they are even alive…I was abandoned when I was very young. Master Plo Koon found me after liberating my people." She said in a calm voice.
Lux realized how lucky he was to at least have his mother to help him threw the struggles of life.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.." He said putting his hand on her shoulder. He noticed her twitch from his touch and realized it made her uneasy,"What is it?"
"Nothing.." She said lightly shaking his hand off her shoulder as she looked down at the grass.
Lux, not knowing her as good as he does now, backed off the subject.
Suddenly Lux was awakened by the loud sound of steel doors sliding open. It was a droid delivering his daily prison slop that they called food.
Lux slowly got to his feet and walked over to the bowl. It was filled with some sort of green goo, bread and a few fruits all mixed together making some kind of soup.
Lux was disgusted at the sight and smell of his lunch. He was very hungry though.
"Should I try it?" He asked himself aloud.
He slowly reached for the wooden spoon sticking out of the bowl. Getting a small amount in the spoon, he lifted it to his mouth. Hesitating, he quickly lunged the spoon into his dry mouth ready to get it over with.
Instantly a sick feeling appeared in his stomach. He ran to the far corner of the prison cell and vomited the green slim onto the dirty, wet, cold floor.
He had to get some sort of nutrition other wise he would die! He decided to force the green soup down. It was horrible.
Ahsoka sat in the cockpit pushing buttons here and there preparing the engines fore lightspeed. She wasn't use to going alone to a planet so far away.
R7 beeped a question as the translation was sent to the built in computer of her star fighter.
"I'm nervous too, but, never the less, we must keep our heads up!" Ahsoka replied cheerfully.
R7 asked a question that was set on sensitive territory.
"Why do I need to go there?!" Ahsoka was in a slight panic, she couldn't tell her secret, but she didn't wish to lie either! Then it hit her,"I'm meeting an old jedi master, he is going to give me special lessons for a few days."
R7 beeped in understanding and the ship was sent into the blue tunnel known as hyperspace.
Anakin and Obi-wan stood side by side at the cruisers bridge. Anakin felt a tremor threw he and Ahsoka's padawan-master bond. He clenched his fists and closed his eyes afraid that some how something would go wrong.
"What is it?" Obi-wan asked beginning to stroke his beard as he turned to his padawan.
"I just don't feel comfortable sending Ahsoka out on her own." Anakin said as he turned and walked to the window. Staring at the stars for some reason seemed to calm him down.
Obi-wan was proud of Anakin but at the same time upset with him. Obi-wan walked up behind Anakin and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Anakin, I am proud you care for her, but you are becoming to attached, and do you not trust Sage Ornate?" Obi-wan asked standing beside Anakin now.
"Yes, I do trust him, but the thought of her going out on her own," He turned to Obi-wan with a care lighting up his face,"Reminds me how grown up she is now. She isn't the same wild and wacky four-teen year old girl I once knew, no - Now, she is a mature young women…"
Obi-wan didn't realize how daughter-like Ahsoka was to Anakin.
"I'm sorry Anakin, but you can't stop her from growing up, she will make a fine master one day! The padawan to take her as a master will be very lucky." Obi-wan said placing a hand on Anakin's shoulder again.
"If you have everything under control, I would like to go rest," He began as he turned to exit the room," I have a lot on my mind right now."
And with that, he left for his personal jedi quarters.
Obi-wan was proud Anakin was beginning to take responsibility, but he was beginning to think assigning him a padawan secretly wasn't his best idea. He needed to find a way to assure Anakin she would fine on her own, but how?
Dooku sat in the chair to his desk looking out the window at the dull scenery when Dark Sidious appeared on his holo-projector that was built into his desk.
"Have the jedi made contact yet?'' Sidious asked in his old feeble voice.
Dooku spun around to face his master.
"Unfortunately, no," Dooku said with a snarl in his voice.
"It is taking the jedi an unusually long amount of time to send a rescue party. Are you sure they know he is a hostage in your prison?" Sidious asked beginning to get an idea of why they weren't searching for him.
"Yes, they must know! Why wouldn't they?" Dooku asked angrily.
"A bounty hunters work is always sloppy…" Sidious said giving away his idea that Bane had done something wrong.
Dooku slammed his fists on his desk in great anger. Sweat began to run down the side of his face as he turned red .
"How could this happen!?" Dooku said furiously.
"Maybe this will be a lesson to you that you should do the job yourself.." Sidious finished with that and disappeared from the holo-projector.
Dooku slammed his fists on his desk again. Bane had done it this time, he would pay for this mistake he had made.
Padme' sat on her sofa looking at pictures of the burnt-to-a-crisp hangar. She scrolled threw them examining each of them closely. She finally reached the list of deaths and body counts. Expecting to find Lux's name, she read through them closely. His name wasn't on the list.
"What!?" Padme' gasped as she began to read threw the names again,"He's not on the list, and the number of bodies amount to the number of names! He's alive!"
She stood up quickly and ran in the other room to fetch her holo projector. She had to tell Ahsoka.
Ahsoka sat in the cockpit of her ship just about to fall asleep. She had told R7 moments earlier to take control while she rested.
The beeping of her holo projector shook her as her eyes popped open wide.
clicking the button to answer she said," Ahsoka here."
"Ahsoka, Lux is alive!" Padme' blurted quickly.
"What?!" Ahsoka gapsed
