Here's chapter 3. I found out this is Aurra Sing's final, fully shown speaking appearance. Minus a flashback in one episode's intro. So I might have Revan kill her.
CRIMINALS CAPTURED!
JEDI MASTER PLO KOON ALONG WITH PADAWANS AHSOKA TANO AND REVAN SUCCESSFULLY THWARTED AN ATTEMPT ON MACE WINDU'S LIFE, KILLING BOUNTY HUNTER AURRA SING IN THE PROCESS.
SINCE THAT TIME, YOUNG AHSOKA HAS GROWN STRONG IN THE WAYS OF THE FORCE.
NOW, AFTER SEVERAL HARROWING ADVENTURES ALONGSIDE HER FRIEND AND MASTER, THE THREE JEDI HAVE RETURNED TO THE TEMPLE ON CORUSCANT TO RECIEVE THEIR NEXT MISSION...
Revan, Ahsoka and Anakin stood in front of the Council as Yoda spoke, "Welcome, padawans. In order, congratulations are. Shown your courage and strength yet again, you have." he congratulated. "Job well done, Ahsoka, Revan." Plo congratulated as well. The padawans smiled and bowed. "And now onto more pressing matters." Obi-Wan spoke. "To Balith you must go, Skywalker." Yoda told him. "There's a large-scale civil war on Balith. They've requested our assistance. Anakin, you will leave immediately to command the Third Legion." Obi-Wan explained. "I've never been to Balith." Ahsoka said. "You will stay here, padawans. We need your full report." Windu told them. "As you wish." she obeyed.
The padawans walked with Anakin towards the shuttle where Rex and another clone were waiting for him on one of the Temple's outside landing platforms. "Ahsoka, I sense your uneasy. What is it?" Anakin asked her. "I- Nothing." she answered with a sigh before stopping and looking at him. "Master, let me come with you." she asked before catching back up to them. "If i'm not with you, who else will have your back?" she questioned as he stopped to look at her. "Stay here, finish your studies, get some rest." he said, giving a smile. "You've said it yourself. I learn more in the field than I ever do here." she reminded. "Well, think of this as a chance to prove me wrong." he said, with the smile back before jogging up the ramp and turning to face them as the shuttle started to rise. "And stay out of trouble!" he called down as the ramp closed and the shuttle took off. Ahsoka had a down look on on her face as the padawans walked back to the Temple. 'Dammit. I can't think of anything to say to try making her feel better…' Revan mentally kicked himself.
Revan shot up from his bed while taking a nap when he sensed something wrong with Ahsoka. The padawan shot out of his room before running down the corridor towards Ahsoka's and sliding up to her door. Once he stepped into her room he noticed she was panting heavily. "What's wrong?" he asked concerned before sitting on her bed. "I had a nightmare." she said, starting t catch her breath. "About what?" he asked, wrapping an arm around her shoulders as she sat beside him. "Aurra Sing." she replied. Revan's eyes widened a bit. "Come on. We should go tell Yoda about this." he said before making their way out the door.
Revan pressed the button to Yoda's quarters to let him know they were there. "Enter." the Grand Master said before the padawans did so. "Have a seat, young padawans." he offered, looking outside through the blinds. Ahsoka sat with one knee up and rested her hands on the same leg as Revan sat on the edge beside her. "Troubled you are, padawans?" he asked, keeping his eyes focused outside. "Not me, Master." Revan said before looking at Ahsoka. "Yes, Master Yoda. I've been having… dreams." she said before the old Jedi turned to face them. "Dreams, you say?" he asked, then walked over to the other seat and turned his attention back to them. "Yes, dreams. Or visions. I don't know. But they're so real." she admitted as Yoda stepped onto the seat and sat down. "Premonitions. Telling you something they are." he told her. "I know we reported otherwise, but I believe Aurra Sing isn't dead. She's still alive, and she's preparing to kill someone close to me." she suspected. "So you begin to see the true power of the Force. Visions they are. Underestimate them, you must not. Meditate to see clearly. More experience you need." he said. Ahsoka nodded and the padawans left towards the Archives.
They found an unused data terminal and started to search a few datacards. "These should help with your studies, dears." Jocasta said, placing a few more datacards on the desk before leaving again. "Study. I should be out there fighting, not in here studying." Ahsoka grumbled. Revan shared the sentiment with a bored yawn from the chair beside her as she flipped through different known criminals before suddenly falling asleep. Revan sat properly in his seat and was about to shake her awake when she woke with a gasp. "You alright?" he asked concerned. Ahsoka rubbed her eyes before replying. "Senator Amidala's in danger." she warned before the two got up and hurried out of the Archives.
Once they reached the building Padme's apartment was in, they were met by Typho who led them up to her apartment. "Senator." he said as they entered the apartment and she looked at them with a smile. "Padawans, Ahsoka Tano and Revan are here to see you." he announced. "Senator Amidala." Ahsoka greeted. Revan nodded in greeting. "Ahsoka, it's so good to see you." she greeted the younger woman with a hug before turning to Revan and quickly hugging him before he could stop her. "Still not one for hugs, I see." she joked lightly. "Never trust a hug. It's just a way to hide your face." he replied. Neither woman seemed to know how to respond to that.
"How have you been?" she asked them instead. "Honestly, i've been better. I'm worried for you, Senator. I sense you are in grave danger." Ahsoka warned as the three walked further into the room. "What makes you believe that?" Padme asked. "I've been having dreams, bad dreams. Padme, I know you're in danger. I just know it." Ahsoka insisted urgently. "What kind of danger?" Typho asked, walking up to them as Padme sat on the couch. "I believe that a very dangerous bounty hunter is out to assassinate you." Ahsoka warned.
"This is troubling. Captain, please take all necessary precautions." she told him before standing up and grabbing one of her suitcases from the couch. "You're leaving?" Ahsoka asked. "Yes. Bail Organa an I are leading a conference, concerning the refugees from the war. I leave for Alderaan in the morning." she explained. "But the threat to your life…" Ahsoka trailed off worriedly. "Ahsoka, the refugee situation is much to crucial to ignore. I called this conference. It could make an enormous difference in policy. It's vital that I go." Padme explained. "Yes, Senator." Ahsoka complied in disappointment.
The padawans headed back to the Temple and walked to Ahsoka's room. "I'll see you later." she said, still dissapointed. Revan gave her a nod before the door closed. Revan dimmed his Force-signature before sitting down and leaning his back against the wall. 'She'll probably have another vision. So i'll just sit out here and wait.' he folded his arms and closed his eyes to meditate for a bit. Ahsoka stepped quickly out of her room and immediately noticed Revan standing up. "Have you been there since I entered?" she asked him. "I had a feeling you'd have another vision, so I waited out here for you." he explained. "Oh. Well, thank you." she thanked, with a smile. "No problem." he said, mirroring her smile before the hurried to Yoda's quarters.
"I'm sure now that it is Senator Amidala who is in danger." she said to the Grand Master while looking out one of the windows with her arms folded as Yoda and Revan sat on the two seats. "Senator Amidala, you say?" he asked just to be sure as she unfolded her arms and turned to face him. "Yes, Master. I've seen it in my visions." she said. "Choose, you must. How to respond to your visions. But remember. Always in motion is the future, and many possible futures there are." he reminded. "Yes, Master." she said, with a small bow before the padawans left.
The padawans hopped into a DC0052 speeder and flew to the landing platform Padme and some others were on as they walked towards a J-type diplomatic barge before hopping out and running towards them. "Senator!" Ahsoka called out just as they reached her. "Ahsoka, Revan. What is it?" she asked as she, Typho and Threepio turned to face them. "We can't just stay behind knowing about the threat to your life. Allow us to come with you, please." Ahsoka pleaded. "Well I suppose it couldn't hurt. Besides, I enjoy your company." she said with a small smile and wrapped an arm around Ahsoka's shoulders before giving them both a wink. "Of course you can join me as extra security." she said while they looked at Typho who nodded at them. "Thank you, Padme." she thanked as the five walked onto the barge before it took off a few seconds later.
As the barge soared through space the padawans and Senator sat in one of the parlor rooms. Revan watched as the two girls played Dejarik. Ahsoka moved a worm like creature to a bigger humanoid one before it got smacked away, she pushed herself away from the board and moved her feet up onto the couch before wrapping her arms around them. "You'll learn to play in time, Ahsoka. Someday you'll even beat me." Padme said with a smile. Ahsoka smiled a bit. "It's not that." she said. Padme's look turned to concerned. "What's on your mind?" she asked.
"I've been mostly unsure about my abilities on my own. Usually Master Skywalker's there to guide me." Ahsoka admitted. Padme shifted herself so that she was sitting beside Ahsoka and placed a comforting hand the back of the padawan's head for a moment. "When I was Queen, I felt the same insecurities as you do now. I had my advisors but, it was ultimately up to me to run the entire Naboo system. And I was very afraid at times." she admitted softly. "Really? You felt unsure?" she asked, starting to smile a bit. Padme chuckled softly. "Oh, yes. But i've learned to trust in myself, and you will too." she reassured with a gentle smile. "Thank you. One more game?" Ahsoka asked, smile still on her face. "Absolutely." The Senator agreed. Revan smiled, glad that Ahsoka was feeling better.
Awhile later the three left the parlor to get some sleep in their rooms, well all but Revan, who decided to sit outside Ahsoka's room just in case and was currently rubbing his eyes tiredly while trying to remain awake. "Are you just going to sit there?" a Royal guard asked him from the end of the short hallway. "Pretty much." the teen answered. 'Alright. If she doesn't get another vision in the next hour, i'm going to bed.' he was broken out of his thoughts when Ahsoka came rushing out of her room, causing him and the guard to be alert.
"The assassin's inside!" she warned as she ran to Padme's room before activating her lightsaber. Once the three rushed into the room, Ahsoka jumped onto the bottom of the bed and took a defensive position as Padme was startled awake. "Ahsoka!" she said in surprise. "Stay down!" Ahsoka warned before holding her saber up and turning her head to look around before Typho ran into the room. "What's going on?" he asked them. "Nothing. False alarm." Ahsoka replied deactivating her saber as Revan clipped his back onto his belt. "Forgive me, Senator." she apologized, turning her head for a moment before heading back to her room. Revan quickly caught up before hugging her. Ahsoka hugged him back and rested her head on his shoulder. 'Actions speak louder than words after all. he mused.
A few hours later they landed on one of the platforms connected to the outside of the Aldera Royal Palace on Alderaan in the capital city Aldera. Upon exiting the barge they were greeted by Bail Organa, Senator Mon Mothma and a few others. "Padme!" he greeted happily. "Bail, it's so good to see you. Thank you so much for hosting this conference. Dealing with the refugees of this war needs to be our number one priority." she said to him. "Absolutely. Your presence here is greatly appreciated. Come. Senator Mothma and will take you to your quarters." he said, gesturing them to follow.
The group walked through of the hallways as they followed Bail before he, the other two senators and droids entered a room while two Senate commandos stood guard. Ahsoka sat down cross-legged in front of the door opposite to meditate while Revan leaned against the wall behind her and folded his arms. A moment later Ahsoka stood up and the two padawans, along with Typho walked into the room the senators were in. "Senator. Might we have a word with you in private?" Ahsoka asked Padme. "Of course, padawans." she replied said before standing up. "If you'll excuse me." she said to Bail and Mothma before she walked up to the Jedi and Typho.
"I know I made a mistake last night. But that doesn't mean the threat to you is any less." Ahsoka insisted. "I haven't lost faith in you, Ahsoka." Padme reassured with a smile. "I know. And I appreciate that." she thanked softly. "I don't mean to interject, but now is not the time for this. Senator Amidala must prepare for her summit." Typho said. "But I believe the attempt on your life is going to happen tonight." the female padawan insisted. "Why tonight?" Padme asked. "I had another vision, and it was much clearer. I could see more than usual, even a location. It was a large room, you were giving a speech." Ahsoka explained. Typho put a hand on her shoulder to get her attention. "This room, could you recognize it if you saw it?" he asked. "Yes, I think I could." she assured.
A few minutes later the captain, senator and padawans entered the conference room with rows of seats facing towards a large painting of a robed woman holding a basin with a line of water pouring out. "So does anything look familiar?" Typho asked as they stopped before Ahsoka turned to face them. "Yes. This is it. This is the place I saw in my vision." she said to them. "Where would the assassin be?" he asked. "That's the part i'm not sure of." she replied unsure. "We are taking all the necessary precautions correct, Captain?" Padme asked him as he folded his arms. "Yes, Milady." he assured.
"But Aurra Sing will know what you plan to do. She'll find a way in." Ahsoka warned as Padme stepped up to her. "Ahsoka… In your vision, does Aurra succeed?" she asked her quietly. "I… I can't tell." she said with the same tone and looking away. "Well then, at least we have a fighting chance." the Senator said, sounding hopeful. Ahsoka nodded and gave a small smile before they leaving. Revan grabbed her shoulder to stop her before looking at the other two. "We'll catch up in a few minutes." he said. The captain and senator nodded and left. "What is it?" she asked curiously. "She does succeed, doesn't she." it wasn't a question but she answered anyway. "Yes." she said quietly, looking at the ground. Revan placed his hands reassuringly. "Don't worry. The only one who might die here is, Aurra." he said before the two left to catch up with the others. Later that evening when Alderaan's sun was a few hours from setting the Jedi walked onto the balcony as Padme stared at the lake. Revan suddenly shook his head. 'Weird. I could've sworn i'd just seen Bail and some woman with a baby in arms sitting down. Hmm…' he shook his head as Padme started to talk.
"Isn't it just beautiful?" she asked them softly. Revan shrugged, he didn't see what the big deal was about the setting sun reflecting off the lake. "Yes, but. I really must insist you go back inside. It's not safe for you out here." Ahsoka warned. "Ahsoka, I can't stop living my life. You forget, i'm a friend of the Jedi. I'm no stranger to taking risks." she reminded with a smile. Ahsoka leaned against the railing in thought. "What is it?" Padme asked her after a moment. Ahsoka pushed off the railing for a moment and looked at her with uncertainty. "I'm confused. My visions are telling me one thing, but reality is telling me another. I don't know which to believe anymore. Maybe i'm wrong. Maybe no ones out to kill you." she said. The Jedi and Senator made their way to the conference before it started and while Padme sat in the left seat of the conference table the Jedi and Typho stood to the far left of her with three Senate commandos and watched as Bail stood up from the middle seat and spoke.
"As the conflict that divides our galaxy escalates, we cannot lose perspective on the value of life and the price of freedom. No one this truth more than the distinguished Senator Padme Amidala of Naboo." he said, gesturing to her as he sat down and she stood up. "Thank you, Senator Organa. I wanted to first thank you all for coming. This is a cause that is very important to me. I can remember after the illegal blockade of my homeworld, Naboo, by the Trade Federation. How many lives were lost. True, in the grand scale of things it was a small conflict. And true, there was only one battle fought during the occupation. But let us examine the cost of that one conflict: Hundreds of Naboo were forced from their homes, Naboo security forces and the Gungan army both incurred heavy casualties." She continued to speak as Revan drowned her out when Ahsoka suddenly ran towards the closest exit to the upper area with guards.
They reached Sing quickly and Ahsoka used the Force to push her, causing her blast to clip Padme in the shoulder. The bounty hunter glared at the two padawans as the crowed gasped in horror. Sing pulled out her blaster pistol and started shooting at the padawans, as they jumped onto the wall to avoid her bolts before activating their sabers and jumping off. They blocked a few blasts before she started running away, the Jedi right behind her. They came to a small four-way intersection with a way up after losing her. Ahsoka panted a bit before they went left. After a few minutes of searching Revan sheathed his saber and grabbed her shoulder to stop her. "Ahsoka, it's no use. She's gone. Come on, we should go check on Padme." he reasoned. Ahsoka nodded and the two headed for Padme's room
Ahsoka paced outside the door guarded by two commandos in worry before a medical droid came out and the Jedi turned their attention to it. "The senator will be fine. It was only a flesh wound." it assured before the padawans rushed past it and into Padme's bedroom where Bail was watching over her as she laid on the bed with a cast holding her arm up. "Padme, i'm sorry." Ashoka apologized quietly. "For what, Ahsoka? You both did all you could." she reassured them softly with a smile. "Did you find the assassin?" Bail asked them. "She ran off before we could get her." Ahsoka replied. "She?" he asked.
"Yes, she. I am positive now that it is Aurra Sing who is out to get you. Please return to Coruscant immediately, for you own safety." she pleaded gently to Padme. "Padme, I agree with the padawan. It is far too dangerous for you to give your speech tonight." Bail warned. "If someone wants me dead, they will follow me wherever I go." she reasoned. "But you know my visions are all mixed up. What if what I saw was the attempt that just happened?" Ahsoka asked. "Padme, i'm not willing to gamble with your life." Bail said. "Wait a minute. I think I have a way we can get around putting you in jeopardy, and have you attend the conference." Ahsoka explained, earning a nod and smile from the senator.
Later that night a luxury droid used as a decoy with a hooded robe on and Bail were escorted into the conference room with Typho at the lead, three commandos between him and 'Padme', two others on each side of it, Bail directly behind it, two Alderaan guards beside him and three more behind him with the Jedi coming up on the rear as the people clapped before taking their seats. The Alderaanian guards took position near the entrance while the commandos and captain continued to lead. The Jedi looked towards the upper area for a moment as they walked. Two commandos took position behind the conference table seats while the others took position to the far sides. The padawans and captain stood in the same spot they had earlier while the droid took the middle seat this time and Bail took the left. The droid stood up before Padme spoke through it from her room using a comlink, addressing the conference.
"Fear. In these times, it is the greatest weapon wielded against those who would stand up for truth and justice. We have a responsibility as the elected representatives of the Republic to face our fears and challenge those who threaten the safety of its people. I stand before you today bruised but not beaten. The voices of the people shall be heard. And together, we shall represent them. The homeless shall no longer-" Revan stopped listening as Ahsoka spoke to them quietly. "Aurra's not here." she said. "What do you mean, she's not here?" Typho asked her. She didn't reply and three went back to looking around as Padme continued speaking. "The soldiers who so valiantly, fight to protect us must also be protected once their job is done." Revan focused back on Ahsoka as she spoke again.
"She's not in this room." she said as Padme kept speaking. "We need legislation to defend the displaced from slavery, to protect our soldiers from feeling as if their is no future, beyond their warfare-" The Jedi stopped hearing her voice as they ran out the side exit and towards Padme's room. Ahsoka jumped into the room and onto the bed with saber active as the door opened, deflecting a blast coming from one of the vents that would've hit Padme in the back. Revan used the Force to open the vent and pull Aurra out from inside it as he activated his saber. The bounty hunter fell onto her back with a grunt of pain before getting up quickly with her blasters out and glaring at them.
"You! I remember you, Jedi brats!" she snarled before shooting the door's control panel, destroying it and causing the door to close and lock with an evil smirk on her face as Typho and two commandos reached it. "Stand down, assassin!" Ahsoka ordered. "You left me for dead! Luckily, Hondo pulled me out of the wreckage." Aurra growled at them. 'Okay... Currently undecided on whether or not Hondo's an okay guy.' Revan decided to think on it later. "Surprised your back to work so soon." Ahsoka said venomously. "Well, a girl's gotta make a living." she replied with a dark smirk.
Ahsoka and Padme backed up against the wall for better protection while Revan stood in front of her to the side. "Why are you doing this? Killing me will not stop the relief effort." Padme said to the bounty hunter, who just laughed humourlessly with another dark smirk. "Honey, this isn't about your cause. This is about revenge. My employer wants to get even with you, simple as that." the bounty hunter said. "Who hired you?" Ahsoka demanded. "Enough talk. time to see what your made of, kids." she smirked and twirled her blaster before aiming them.
The padawans started to deflect blaster fire for a few seconds before Ahsoka cried out in pain as a bolt hit her below the shoulder and she fell to the ground. Aurra started laughing evilly as Revan gave her a murderous glare, he then grab her by the mouth and slammed her against the wall before placing his other hand on her stomach and squeezing her face so her mouth remained open. "Think it's funny do ya? Let's see how much you're laughing after I create an arc of lighting between both hands." he snarled as electricity started to crackle in his palms.
He turned his head when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Revan, don't. She's not worth it." Padme said gently. Revan looked at the ground in thought for a moment before looking at Ahsoka as she gave him a pleading look while holding her arm. Revan looked back up at Sing and removed his hand from her stomach before reeling back and slamming her against the wall again. "Never come after my friends again!" he snarled. Aurra managed to nod her head quickly with a look of fear on her face, even with his hand over her mouth before he let go. Padme shot a stun blast, knocking her against the wall and out cold before she could even do anything.
Revan quickly walked over to Ahsoka and helped her up while making sure not to touch her wound. "Ahsoka?" Padme asked in concern as she stepped up to them. "Nice shot." the padawan complimented with a small smile. "I told you, i'm no stranger to taking risks." she said, giving the padawan a soft smile just as the doors were forced open. "Senator!" Typho said quickly as he and two commandos had their weapons ready. "Captain, she's stunned." Padme told him as they aimed their weapons at the bounty hunter who regaining consciousness.
A few hours later the group headed back to Coruscant and the barge landed on one of the Temple's outer landing pads. The Jedi and two senators walked down the ramp first and were greeted by Anakin, Yoda and two clone troopers. Anakin gave his wife a concerned look upon noticing her arm in a sling as Typho and two Naboo guards escorted Aurra down the ramp and towards the Temple as the two clones helped. "Are you alright?" the Knight asked his wife urgently. "Without Ahsoka's foresight, I fear things would have gone quite differently." Padme replied. Yoda walked up to Ahsoka with a smile. "Serve you well, your visions have, young padawan." he praised.
"Thank you, Master Yoda." she thanked with a smile and respectful nod. "But we still don't know who's really behind this." she reminded them. "Concentrate. Remember. What do you see?" he asked. Ahsoka closed her eyes and focused as Anakin folded his arms. "I see… shapes. Large… Devouring… I hear… laughter. Bizarre laughter. And… purple? I see a color… Purple." she opened her eyes. "I don't know… what it means. None of it is familiar to me." she said sounding confused and looking at the ground for a moment. "It is to me. I've been thinking. Aurra Sing said the person who hired her simply wanted revenge for something I did to them." Padme explained. "Well that could be a lot of people." Anakin pointed out. "Yes. But with Ahsoka's added details, I know someone who fits the description." she said. The three looked at one another knowingly.
Revan, Ahsoka and Anakin entered the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center and a shock trooper was currently flying them over to Ziro the Hutt's cell. The master and apprentice noticed their friend was nervous for some reason. "You alright, Rev?" Anakin asked him, turning his to the side. "I'm fine." the padawan assured before looking around again as the Knight turned his attention ahead again. 'Besides the fact that I broke in here to kill Vindi a long time ago? Other than that, i'm just peachy.' he was broken out of his thoughts when he noticed something about the shock trooper with them. There was a familiar dent in the back of his helmet. 'Fuck me sideways.' the padawan swore mentally.
Revan was glad when they entered Ziro's cell. "Ziro." Anakin greeted coldly, crossing his arms and glaring at the Hutt. "You must be Anakin Skywalker." he said. "Have you met my padawan, Ahsoka Tano and my friend Revan?" the Knight asked, continuing to glare as the padawans folded their arms as well. "Padawan. Friend." Ziro chuckled as if Anakin had just told him a joke. "I believe you have a grudge against Senator Amidala." Ahsoka accused. "And what makes you say something do utterly ridiculous, youngling?" he asked haughtily. "It's because of Senator Amidala you're locked up in this place. The bounty hunter Aurra Sing attempted to kill the senator. I believe you hired her for the job." Ahsoka said with a victorious smirk.
"I did no such thing." he denied with the same haughtiness. "We have Aurra Sing in custody. She told us everything." she bluffed the last part with the triumphant smirk back. Anakin and Revan smiled at her bluff as Ziro stuttered. "She told you-! She told you what!? Impossible! I should have hired someone better… oh!" he realized too late what he had said. "You just guaranteed yourself an extra long vacation in this 'lovely' establishment." she said with a mocking smirk. Ziro started to move around the room as he ranted. "Do you see the conditions i'm living in!? That-! That insipid senator put me in here! She deserves to die for leaving me to rot in this squalor!" he yelled. "Well thanks to you, Ziro and that little confession. You've just officially failed." Ahsoka mocked as they walked back towards the clone. "You'll never get away with this! You have no idea what i'm capable of!" he yelled as the ray shield closed and his words echoed throughout the prison...
Chapter 3 is finally done. 5000 words? Jesus! I almost gave up a few times. Only by reminding myself that the next chapter is a very special one focused on Revan, kept me from from quitting. It is a chapter that, well most of us have been waiting for. You know, if you've been waiting for him to take, what was it again… Oh, yeah… the uh… Jedi Trials. :)
