Chapter 20
Coruscant- Solo's Residency
Luke sat on the couch at the Solo residency rethinking about the events that just happened. He was free now, the New Republic and his still to be made Jedi Order have made peace. But now Luke was facing another problem. How did Mon Mothma know about Anakin being Vader and his connection to him and Leia? Most importantly who was that man that appeared out of nowhere, and why did he warn him about Ahsoka and a long dead sith? Luke was lost in concentration, not noticing when Leia had walked in with a sleeping Ben Solo in her arms. "Hey", Leia said softly scarring the distracted Luke. "Oh, sorry. I didn't hear you coming", Luke apologized as he got up to help her. "It's fine Luke. What's important is that you don't have the New Republic breathing down your neck now. And you can do anything you want", Leia smiled as she handed her sleeping baby to Luke. Luke carefully held Ben in his arms, he could feel the immense power coming off from his young nephew. "Where's Han and Chewie? I haven't seen them around" Luke asked in realization. The apartment seemed empty without the scoundrel and his wookiee companion doing who knows what with Threepio or the crazy imaginative adventures they'd be telling Ben to fall asleep. "They're off-world", Leia responded, "Presumably going to Kashyyyk to see Chewbacca's family".
"Wait. Chewbacca has a family?", Luke asked in surprise. After years of knowing the wookiee, he never heard Chewbacca mention anything of a family. Perhaps there was more than what meets the eye for the wookiee scoundrel. "I was surprised as you are Luke", Leia responded with as much awe as him. "Why didn't you go with them? You know, to let little Ben see his wookie uncle's family?", Luke asked his twin sister. Leia's face fell when Luke had asked her. Did he forget? He was the reason she was still here after all. "Remember Luke, I had to be present for your trial", Leia said slowly. Luke's face fell when he heard her words. Of course she had to be here, it was mostly his fault. She should've been with Han, caring for Ben near a beautiful lake on Naboo, or teaching her political apprentice everything she knew about politics. But no, she had to be here for him, for his actions for walking out of the New Republic. That's when his thoughts started coming back. "Leia", Luke said cautiously, "Did you ever tell Mothma about our Father?". Luke knew how sensitive Leia was about the topic of Vader. He remembered that she complained to him when Anakin had visited her a week prior to Ben's early arrival, and how she screamed at her father for torturing her and Han, and for hurting Luke. He remembered the few things Leia had said in the heat of the moment, and they weren't good. "Luke, you know how uncomfortable I am with this subject", Leia responded, "I never told anyone except for Han, Chewbacca and Lando".
Luke took his sisters words in disbelief. If Leia never told Mothma, who did? "Betrayed by the one with the name of Ahsoka Tano", the man's words echoed in his head. Luke shook his head as he tried to clear the voice in his head. Ahsoka? She can't be, she didn't even know that I existed, Luke mentally argued. Ben started to stir in his uncle's arms. He must feel my thoughts, Luke thought in realization. He handed Ben back to Leia, who gladly accepted him. "Do you think anyone else knows about, us. And Vader?", Leia asked worriedly. She didn't want anyone else finding out about her being related to Darth Vader. Let alone having her son threatened because of his grandfather. "The only ones who know, outside our little family, is just Ahsoka and Sabine", Luke replied. "You told them!", Leia shouted in horror. Her sudden outburst had awakened her baby, Ben started crying as Leia desperately tried to calm him down. "They needed to trust me Leia. And Ahsoka found out before we even met", Luke argued defending his actions. "Wait, wait, wait. Ahsoka knew about you? About us, before even meeting you?", Leia suddenly questioned. Luke realized what he just said, it was true. Ahsoka knew about Anakin, once she heard his name, it didn't take long to connect the pieces. "You don't think she told Mothma?", Leia asked again, this time more softly as she successfully calmed Ben down. It was possible, after all she was the first Fulcrum. And the Fulcrum class was known to be loyal to the Rebellion, even killing other rebels just to keep their names clean. But would Ahsoka really do that? As far as Luke knew, Ahsoka cared about him. She wouldn't do anything to hurt him or Leia.
"She desires your death!", the same voice echoed again. Luke mentally pushed the voice to the back of his head, it couldn't be that, it couldn't. Ben started crying again, this time even louder. He must sense the darkness surrounding the voice, Luke realized. If what the voice told him was true, then Luke would need to watch his back. He'll have to postpone his journey to Ahch-to and do his best to protect Leia and Ben. C-3PO and R2-D2 suddenly came barging in, "Oh dear, Princess! Princess, I bring terrible news!", Threepio said worriedly. "What's the matter Threepio?", Luke quickly asked. Threepio jumped back, not noticing the young jedi. "Oh, I'm dreadfully sorry Master Luke. Forgive me for not noticing you here", Threepio said in a apologetic manner. "It's okay Threepio, what's the matter?", Luke asked the golden protocol droid.
"I have received a transmission from Captain Solo. Apparently, he and Chewbacca have encountered a group of pirates called the Guavian Death Gang. They are causing some trouble to the Kashyyk system. He's been asking for your presence Princess", Threepio explained. "Tell Han I'll be there shortly", Leia responded. Leia walked to her holo-table and requested for Amilyn Holdo. "Why did you asked for Ms. Holdo?", Luke asked confused. "I need someone to watch over Ben for a while, while I'm off-world", Leia explained.
"I could stay here and watch over him", Luke offered. He just became an uncle, wheres the harm in trying to build a little bond? "No offense Luke, but your still new to this whole Uncle thing. And you still need to go with Ahsoka. Even if we don't trust her", Leia remarked. Luke let out a short sigh, Leia was right. He made a promise to them to still be going with them, this time however, he needed to be extra cautious around the Togruta. "You're right Leia. I should be going", Luke said as he gave his sister a soft kiss on the forehead. He did the same to Ben as he headed for the exist. "Be safe on your travel Master Luke", Threepio said as Luke headed out the door. Luke simply winked at the protocol droid he had met all those years ago on Tatooine. "Come on Artoo, we don't want to be late", Luke said to the little blue droid strolling next to him. Artoo let out a worried whimper before following Luke.
Coruscant-Capital Building Landing bay.
Luke and Artoo walked to the platform leading them to Ahsoka's shuttle. Luke was having a hard time going over everything that happened. "She will betray you Skywalker. She awaits until you lower your defenses!", the mans voice echoed through his skull. Get out of my head!, Luke shouted to the man. Artoo noticed that Luke was shaking his head as if he had a headache. Artoo let out a worried beep concerning Luke's health. "I'm fine Artoo", Luke said a little coldly. Luke and Artoo walked through a crowd of running teenagers. The kids started pushing and shoving Luke and Artoo out of the way. "Hey watch it!", Luke yelled at the kids. The teenagers ran past them as they brushed their hands over him. "I hate inner core kids", Luke scolded to himself. Luke suddenly felt his belt has gone lighter. He pat himself down to notice that his lightsaber was gone. "Those bastards!", Luke shouted.
Luke searched everywhere for his lightsaber. How could I be so stupid, Luke mentally argued. Artoo let out a loud chirp to get Luke's attention. Luke turned around to see his little astromech droid shifting side to side as Luke's lightsaber laid on the floor next to him. "Good job Artoo", Luke said in relief. He was about to grab it when a slim hand grabbed it first. Luke looked up to the owner of the hand to see a beautiful young women no older than him. The woman had striking red hair, but most importantly she had striking green eyes. It almost resembled his lightsaber crystal. And although her scarf hid most of her features, Luke noticed that she was quite physically attractive as well. "I'm sorry miss, that belongs to me", Luke said softly. The woman kept her gaze at him, and slowly extending his lightsaber towards. "Its an honor to meet The Luke Skywalker", the woman said in a soft voice. The two stared at each other for a moment. Her fingers wrapped tightly around Luke's weapon. But then she loosened her grip. She winked at him before handing the lightsaber to him and walking away. Luke felt himself blush as the red head walked away. Artoo let out a artificial snicker as Luke glared at his companion. "Let's get going Artoo. And don't even think about quoting Lando. The last thing I want to say to someone attractive is comparing them to pilot tales of space angles".
Mara watched as Luke Skywalker walked away with his astromech. Luckily the Knights of Ren were able to distract him long enough for her to place a tracking device on his lightsaber. She didn't know why she felt, awkward, around him. She should hate him after all. Pull yourself together Mara, he took away the only family you ever knew, Mara scolded at herself, I shouldn't have these sort of feelings. He is your enemy. She saw how Luke was checking her out, and she even noticed his blush when she winked at him. The knights, still disguised as civilians walked up to her. "Looks like Mr. Jedi over there seems to like you", Kuruk said in a sarcastic tone. Mara rolled her eyes at the young knight's comment. Why do they have to be so immature?, Mara questioned herself. "Let's go, inform Ren and Ragnos that we placed the tracker", Mara ordered as she walked away.
Coruscant- Landing Platform
Ahsoka and Sabine sat impatiently as they waited for Luke to comeback. "He should be here any minute now Ahsoka", Sabine said as she noticed the Togruta getting worried. "He said he needed to take care of a few things", she added. "That was two hours ago Sabine!", Ahsoka shouted. An immediate silence filled the room. "Sorry, I shouldn't have shouted at you", Ahsoka said apologizing for her sudden outburst, "Its just, I'm worried about him", she said trying to clarify her action. She got up and walked around for a bit, checking the shuttle for anything out of place. "Hey, he's here", Sabine announced. Ahsoka past her, she was lucky that her thigh was no longer stinging with pain. She noticed the young jedi with a conflicted, yet cold expression. "Luke, there you are. Where were you?", Ahsoka asked. "Somewhere", Luke simply replied. "Hey Luke, just to let you know, to make up for all the rules we broke, we gotta get Thrawn as well. Your familiar with him, right?", Sabine asked the jedi as he walked past them. "Artoo will fill me in with his details", Luke said coldly. The two women watched in disarray as Luke simply entered the Jedi Finder with Artoo rolling behind him. "What's up with him?", Sabine asked Ahsoka. Ahsoka simply shrugged, she didn't know why Luke was now acting so cold, when a few hours ago he was the nicest and sweetest guy. "I don't know, but we should continue on our journey", Ahsoka replied to the mandalorian, "Where's our next stop?".
"Rakata Prime".
Hyperspace- Location Unknown
Ahsoka stood on a pile of corpses, her lightsabers dangling from her belt. Lightning flashed across the sky as rain started pouring down. "Stop this Ahsoka! This isn't you!", Luke shouted at her from afar. Ahsoka let out an inhuman scream as she charged at him and Sabine. "Ahsoka it's us!", Sabine shouted desperately. Sabine took her blasters out. and started firing stun rounds at the running Togruta. Ahsoka evaded each blast and ignored her friend's plea, as she continued to charge at them with inhumane speed. Ahsoka ignited her lightsabers and stabbed Sabine in the chest. Sabine let out a blood curdling cry before collapsing to the floor. "No!", Luke shouted in horror. Ahsoka then moved on to Luke when his green blade intercepted her white blades. "Ahsoka please, this isn't you! I feel the good in you!", Luke struggled to say as Ahsoka removed her blades from their locked position. The two continued to fight, but Luke struggled to hold his position. Ahsoka was just too fast, everytime he went to strike, she would dodge and kick him in the face. "There is no good Skywalker! It is time for the Jedi to end, and for the new sith order to rise!", Ahsoka shouted in a deep voice. The two continued to exchange blows as they were now moving to a more opened space. "If you will not turn to the darkside Skywalker, then perhaps Ben Solo will!", Ahsoka said as she threw a large boulder at him. "Never!", Luke shouted as he dodged the boulder. He lunged at Ahsoka, tackling her to the ground. The two wrestled to gain the upper hand. Luke managed to use his cybernetic hand as an advantage as he squeezed one of Ahsoka's lekku. The Togruta grunted as she was momentarily paralyzed, Luke used this advantage to call Ahsoka's lightsabers towards him, pinning her in the process. "Please, don't make me do this Ahsoka", Luke cried out to her. Ahsoka let out a deep chuckle as she laid on the floor. "Foolish Jedi, I was just a distraction!", Ahsoka said before twisting her neck to an odd angle, breaking it in the process. "No!", Luke shouted in horror as blood landed on his face. Before he could react further, a sharp stinging pain entered his chest, he looked down to see a red blade had stabbed him in the chest. "Your mine, Skywalker", a deep voice said before everything went dark.
Luke let out a blood curdling scream as he woke up from his nightmare. He instinctively checked his chest, but found no stab wounds. He looked at his surroundings, the room was dark, save for the occasional flash coming from Artoo's charging port. Luke's face was wet as he wiped off the excessive amount of sweat he received during his sleep. Was this a vision? He remembered having these sort of nightmares on Dagobah when he was still learning the ways of the force with Master Yoda. And even then, the visions did more harm than good when Luke acted on it. Would it be the same in this situation? Trust in the force, find answers in places of knowledge, the wise words of Master Yoda reminded him. Luke took a deep breath before sitting himself upright. He called one of his holocrons he had collected earlier and used the force to open it."This is Master Bastilla Shan", the feminine voice said, "What wisdom do you wish to learn, young one?". Luke thought for a moment, would this holocron contain some answers? He hoped it would. "Tell me everything you know about Rakata Prime", Luke said cautiously. The holocron did not respond immediately, it buffered as it searched for the answer. "Rakata Prime", Bastilla finally said, "Its a place every jedi should avoid. Let me recap the dark history of that place. Thousands of years ago, the Rakatan used a super weapon called the Star Forge. They used the Starforge, as well as creatures called Purgills to take over the galaxy. Now the Star Forge wasn't just some machine, no, it craved for hunger. It used the darkside like nothing we ever seen before. The Rakatan were strong in the dark side of the force. Even their planet is still filled with shadows of the past. Unfortunately, the Rakatan evolved to the likes where they could no longer use the Star Forge. The force no longer allowed them to", Bastilla explained in a serious tone.
"What happened to the Star Forge? ", Luke asked. If Rakata Prime was naturally a planet filled with power of the dark side, perhaps taking Ahsoka there would not be a smart choice. "The Star Forge made its reappearance thousands of years later, it was under the control of Darth Revan and Darth Malak. Luckily their rule didn't last very long. An allied jedi and republic strike team along with the Ebon Hawk's crew managed to destroy the Star Forge and end the sith lords", Bastilla replied firmly. Luke took this all in, if the star forge was tuned to the force without it being a sentient being, than perhaps the dark side must really be strong on Rakata Prime. "What can you tell me about Marka Ragnos?", Luke asked the holocron. He remembered that the mysterious man had claimed that Ahsoka had resurrected him during their stay on Korriban. The holocron buffered again, but this time it gave no answer. Luke repeated his words, but the holocron still wouldn't answer.
"Use my knowledge, I beg you", a deep menacing voice said suddenly. Luke jumped in surprise as the jedi holocron fell to the floor. He looked over to the sound of the voice, it was coming from one of the other holocrons he had collected. Specifically, the sith holocron from Korriban. Luke used the force to bring it to his hand. The red pyramidal holocron slowly settled in Luke's hand. The holocron started to glow, as the faint whisper got louder and louder. Luke read about how to open these sort of holocrons from another jedi holocron. He learned that one should never open it, no matter what is said. But maybe this will contain some answers, Luke thought to himself.
Quietly, he got off the bed and sat on the floor. He placed the sith holocron in front of him, the red light slowly started to increase. Luke closed his eyes, as his mind focused on the holocron. He used his anger, hate, his fear to open the holocron. Luke shook violently as sweat started to deteriorate all over his face. He kept his focus on the holocron as the room started getting colder by the second. Luke was almost going to claim defeat when the sharp and menacing voice came through. "What is thy biding, apprentice?", the voice said sinisterly. Luke opened his eyes to see a hooded cloak coming from the holocron. He let out a deep breath before speaking, "Teach me, everything".
Ahsoka sat in the cockpit meditating on recent events. She needed to find a way to apologize to Luke. The way he had came back worried her, did someone say something offensive to him? Or did he have to fill in a new promise just like her and Sabine had to with adding Thrawn on their list. Ahsoka continued to meditate when she heard a short yelp. She opened her eyes wary of looking for to long at hyperspace. "Hello?", she asked as she turned around. The entire ship was silent, and dark. The only illuminating light source was the interdimension of hyperspace. Ahsoka walked around the ship, noticing that their was a very faint glow coming from Luke's room. She quietly made her way over there. Perhaps he is awake, Ahsoka thought to herself, guess now is a good time to apologize. Ahsoka knocked on the door. "Luke?", Ahsoka whispered. She didn't receive any response. But she started to feel cold. Ahsoka carefully opened Luke's door using the force. Welcoming the sight of a dark void. "Luke?", Ashoka asked again before entering. The room was dark, save for Artoo charging in the corner. She didn't see Luke, at least she noticed that he wasn't in bed. "Luke, are you okay?", Ahsoka asked cautiously. She walked deeper into the room, noticing his lightsaber was scattered on the floor. Suddenly, Ahsoka saw a bright, yet short, spark of light. She peered her head to her left, noticing Luke sitting on his knees. "Hey Luke", Ahsoka said in relief, "I was wondering if we could talk-". Ahsoka stopped as she noticed a familiar red hue glowing around Luke.
No!, Ahsoka internally shouted. Luke had opened a sith holocron. He paid no mind to Ahsoka, his concentration purely on the holocron. "Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The force shall free me", the holocron said. "Stop!", Ahsoka shouted at the top of her lungs. In a swift motion, Ahsoka raised her hands creating a force wave so powerful it threw Luke to the other side of the wall. A loud thud echoed the ship. Luke groaned in pain as he rubbed his head. The sith holocron fell to the floor, Ahsoka extended her arm to grab the holocron. The pyramidal object started to float towards Ahsoka. But it suddenly stopped.
Ahsoka looked down to see Luke also getting a grip on it. "Stop Ahsoka. You don't know you're doing!", Luke shouted. The two struggled to pull the sith holocron away from each other. "Luke, you promised to never use the darkside!", Ahsoka shouted back, "You promised". Ahsoka's words echoed in Luke's head. He had promised her such, he even remembered that she gave him a hug after confirming that he would keep his promise. "How can I trust you?", Luke asked the Togruta, "How can I know that you won't tell everyone my secrets?". Ahsoka looked at the young man in confusion. "Luke, what are you taking about. You know you can trust me".
"Do I?", Luke asked straightening his back as he slowly got up. "You told Mothma about me, about Vader. You knew, even before we met!", Luke suddenly said pointing a accusing finger at her. "What?", Ahsoka asked confused, "I never told Mothma anything. You think I would tell anyone about you or Vader? I don't want anything to do with him! And I certainly never knew you existed until now Luke", Ahsoka argued back with her hands on her hips. Luke let out a deep breath as he looked at Ahsoka straight in the eye, he wanted to make sure he could trust her. To prove to that mysterious man that he was wrong about her, to prove his nightmare that Ahsoka would never harm him. But the same trust should radiate off him towards her. He wanted to see what Ahsoka truly felt, what she was really hiding. "I'm sorry Ahsoka, I shouldn't have accused you. it was wrong for me to-", Luke said before cut off by Ahsoka. "I've heard enough", the Togruta said offended before turning to walk away. She grabbed the holocron as she headed towards the door. But before the door opened, Luke reached out to the force and locked the door before Ahsoka could leave. "Open the door", Ahsoka warned him in a cold tone. "No", Luke replied slyly. Ahsoka turned to look at Luke, her face filled with annoyance and fear. She hesitated as her hand inched towards her lightsaber. "Funny how you claim I should trust you. But you don't trust me", Luke said dryly as he noticed the sudden reaction from the older Togruta.
Ahsoka stopped in her track as Luke walked closer to her, calling his lightsaber in the process. "Luke, this isn't you. The sith holocron has affected you. I warned you to not use the darkside", Ahsoka said with a hint of fear in her voice. Luke acknowledged her fear with a simple hmph. "You want to know what I learned from that thing", Luke asked sarcastically as he pointed towards the holocron in Ahsoka's hands. "I learned many things, things that not even the jedi could explain", Luke began, "I even learned that there are abilities beyond reality, ones that could kill you if not done correctly. I learned things that could benefit the new jedi, to become stronger, wiser than any jedi or sith of the past". Luke started to inch closer to Ahsoka. In desperation, Ahsoka ignited her lightsaber and pointed it at Luke. "Stay back!", Ahsoka shouted in fear her hands trembling. "It's not the jedi way to attack someone who is unarmed", Luke said as he got even closer, "But of course, you're not really a jedi". Luke activated his lightsaber and started swinging it around. Ahsoka started backing up as she put her lightsaber in a defensive position.
"What are you afraid of Ahsoka?", Luke asked as he extended his lightsaber towards her. "I'm not afraid of anything", Ahsoka spat back. She glared at Luke as he stopped swinging his lightsaber. "We're all afraid of something. Even I have fear. Its only natural", Luke said quietly. Ahsoka continued to back up when she was finally met with the wall. "You came in here to apologize, correct?", Luke asked as his lightsaber made contact with Ahsoka's. "Originally, yes. Now, I'm starting to regret my decision", Ahsoka commented. Luke continued to push Ahsoka further into the wall. His lightsaber lowering as the two blades made contact. "Tell me your fear", Luke said, stopping his lightsaber but not removing it. The two were very close now, only one foot apart. "You want to know the truth?", Ahsoka asked as she raised her voice, "I'll tell you the truth!". Ahsoka dropped the holocron and ignited her second lightsaber. There was a bang as the holocron shattered on the floor, glass flying everywhere. Ahsoka's two white blades locking in place with Luke's green blade. Ahsoka struggled as she started pushing Luke away from her. "I lost everything!", Ahsoka shouted, "I lost my friends, I lost the only family I ever knew!". She continued to push Luke as the blades were moving closer to each other. "And now that I have a chance of getting new friends, a new family, I keep messing up!", she shouted again. As he was being pushed, Luke tried to use his weight to anchor himself to the floor. But he underestimated Ahsoka's strength, she kept pushing Luke until he was pinned to his side of the wall. "I don't want to be alone anymore. I want to be apart of something. Please Luke, let me be a part of your life", Ahsoka kicked one of Luke's knee. Luke fell to the floor, but was able to catch himself with the force. "I'm afraid Luke. That I'll be alone forever, I made a promise to stay with you, no matter what. Please Luke, let me in", Ahsoka forced her lightsabers down onto Luke's blade. Luke was forced on to the floor, his lightsaber released from his grip.
Luke raised his hands in defeat. Ahsoka slowly removed her blades from his face. "Please Luke", Ahsoka choked out as tears started forming, "I don't want to fight you anymore. I want you to trust me, just like I want to trust you. I want to be friends, family, anything. But please, I don't want to be alone anymore". Ahsoka turned her blades off, and extended her hand for Luke to accept. "Don't make me regret this", Ahsoka said to him. Luke hesitated as he stared at Ahsoka. He tried his best not to smile. Ahsoka had shown him that he could really trust her, despite of the mysterious man's warning. He grabbed her hand, and Ahsoka helped him to his feet. "You.. trust me?", Ahsoka suddenly asked, a smile filled with hope lightly showing. Luke gave a small smile, "I do", Luke said softly, "I just hope you can trust me".
Ahsoka was about to answer, when she immediately remembered the sith holocron. She turned her head around, and saw the now pile of shattered glass. Whatever that holocron held, it was lost forever. "I know what you're going to say Ahsoka", Luke immediately said, " That I shouldn't have opened it, that its wrong to use the dark side. And you're right, but there are things that we can learn from the sith, as well as the jedi". Ahsoka gave Luke a confused look, before she could answer, Luke spoke again. "Jedi and Sith, for a millennia two opposing sides that unbalanced the force. But Anakin, Vader, he brought balance by eliminating both sides. So that we, the last of our kind, can learn from their mistakes. By combining philosophies of both the Jedi and Sith, to recreate the order and maintain the peace the Chosen One brought", Luke said as he handed Ahsoka a nearby holocron. "Will you help me do this?", he asked her. Ahsoka stayed quiet, not knowing what to say, using the dark and light together seemed like a bad idea. But somehow, it made sense, it all started with one belief. The force. And they should do the will of the force, not on the philosophy of the few.
"I-", Ahsoka started to say. Suddenly the door behind her opened. She turned around to see that Luke had unlocked it. "It's your choice. You walk out that door, and forget any of this happened", Luke offered. "Or you can stay here, and help me find our place in all this". Luke extended his hand with another sith holocron, in the other hand was a jedi holocron. Ahsoka started moving towards the door, when Luke's words echoed in her head. "Do you trust me?". Ahsoka stopped walking and turned back around facing Luke. She finally made her decision. She walked up to the young jedi, looking down at the offering, before ultimately picking the holocron.
Five hours later...
Sabine woke up to a blaring noise that echoed aboard the Jedi Finder. Half awake, she got up and headed towards the cockpit. "Ahsoka, what's the matter?", Sabine asked. But she was surprised to see that there was no one in the cockpit. The nava computer was alarming her that they were approaching their destination. Sabine quickly pulled the T-6 shuttle out of hyperspace. The shuttle exited the swirly dimension as it came to a stop. Just a few meters away from Rakata Prime. The only thing between them was a giant field of ancient asteroids orbiting the system. Sabine put the shuttle in auto pilot, to see just where Ahsoka was. She walked into her room, trying to see if the Togruta had slept on the top bunk.
"Ahsoka?", Sabine asked as she turned on the lights. There was no one in sight. She decided to check Luke's room next. Sabine quietly walked over to the Jedi's room. She noticed that the door was wide open. She peered her head inside, to find quite a scene. Luke was wrapped in a white robe, he had his head resting on Ahsoka's shoulder, and Ahsoka had her head resting on top of his. One of Ahsoka's lekku was wrapped around Luke, but he didn't seem to care. The two were sound asleep. Their lightsabers and several holocrons were scattered all over the place. Sabine couldn't help but smile at the scene presented to her. Looks like those two are finally getting along, Sabine thought to herself. She decided to leave them be, after all they were not in a rush anymore. They already arrived, why not just enjoy the peace tonight?
