Chapter 15: The Aftermath.

Dang, Chapter 15. Thank you so much to all that have reviewed, favorited, and followed this story, this story still has a long way to go. Probably around 25 more chapters. And don't worry, there will be many stories after this one, I already have Ideas for those, I might even start another story while I'm writing this one.

ON WITH THE STORY

"How could this ever of happened? How did we even let this happen?"

These were the thoughts of Anakin Skywalker.

Coruscant, even though the city had a very large population, was still a barely beautiful city.

That was until the Separatists came. They had turned what was once a peaceful city, into a warzone.

;-

Inside the empty Council Chambers stood Anakin, he was looking over the city, it was still smoking days after the battle.

Ahsoka, she was still sore from the battle and her side wound, she walked up beside him.

"Don't worry Anakin, they will pay for this" She told him quietly.

"I know Snips, I-I just can't believe that they had the power to do this to our home." Anakin's voice was full of sorrow.

Ahsoka put her arm around her master.

"I know" was all she was able to put out.

Since the battle their romantic relation had cooled off somewhat. They still loved each other deeply, but it wasn't like it was in the weeks before, the Clone Wars had the tendency of doing that to a person.

Nonetheless their relationship as a pair, a master and an apprentice was stronger than ever. They had eachother, and they weren't about to the war take that from them.

"Where is everyone?" Ahsoka asked.

"Probably resting, the battle took a lot out of everyone." Anakin replied to her.

It was true, the battle had taken a piece of everyone, it wasn't easy seeing your home being burned.

In the meantime the Republic had elected a new Chancellor, Bail Organa.

Anakin thought it was a great idea, Bail was a very honorable man, and a great leader.

Bail had decided to allow the Republic to recover instead of launch a counter offensive. The Separatists had been very quiet since the battle.

The Jedi welcomed the small period of peace. But were cautious.

Anakin suggested that he and Ahsoka go back to their quarters and try to get some rest.

Ahsoka gladly agreed with him.

They walked into their quarters and Anakin was walking towards his room. They had decided to give each other a little space, but not much.

Anakin turned to face Ahsoka and opened his arms.

"Hug?" Anakin said in her direction.

Ahsoka's head turned to see Anakin with his arms open.

"What?" She asked.

"Come give Skyguy a hug" Anakin pouted.

Ahsoka chuckled and went over to him, she welcomed his embrace.

Anakin bent down to where Ahsoka could hear him.

"It's your love that is worth fighting for" Anakin whispered into her lekku.

Those words made Ahsoka feel the most loved person in the galaxy.

"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Ahsoka whispered back to him

Anakin didn't respond, but instead simply lead them into his bedroom,.

They fell asleep in eachother's arms that night.

It was moments like these that made the war tolerable.

;-

It had been two weeks since the Republic had gotten any word of the Separatist activity and it was causing great unease.

The Jedi had already went through Palpatine's belongings and found information on the enemy, it proved to be useless because everything they found turned out to be invalid or changed. None of the communications frequencies worked, and the locations of bases seemed to be false.

All of this frustrated Anakin, he wanted payback.

He finally got the chance when they had decided to take back Naboo. Although he was ready for a fight, he didn't really want to deal with Padme.

Despite the attack on Coruscant the law offices were still open. He had went in and quietly signed divorce papers, all the office had to do was send them to Padme.

Anakin thought it was a little harsh, but it needed to be done.

;-

Anakin's POV

"Why won't this headache go away?" I thought to myself.

We are going to depart for Naboo in two standard hours, I needed to clear my head before that battle, especially with Padme on my mind.

Honestly, Padme was too much of a softie, sure knew how to fight, but she couldn't hold her own in a massive battlefield like Ahsoka could.

I decided to simply go ahead to the Resolute, no point in waiting in the Temple. Ahsoka was there already anyway.

This headache sucks.

;-

On the Resolute

I walked up the ramp of the Resolute and made my way to my quarters. Every clone saluted me on the way. I was about halfway to my room when I ran into Rex.

"Hello Anakin" Rex smiled.

I had told him days before to just stow the formalities, that stuff bugged me.

"Hey Rex" I replied as I leaned against the wall and put my and on my forehead.

Rex seemed to take notice to this.

"Everything alright?" He asked.

"Eh.. not really, I have a bad headache" I told him.

"Well I won't keep you then, see you later" Rex said and with that he walked off.

I continued walking to my room and after what seemed like forever, I finally got there and pushed the button.

I looked up from the ground and saw Ahsoka sitting in the small chair I had in my quarters.

"Hey Snips" I said in a pain filled tone.

Ahsoka could sense my pain, forgot she could do that.

"You ok Anakin?" She asked me.

"No not really, I have a bad headache" I said as I sat down on the small bed.

Ahsoka started to walk over to the bed, she sat down beside me.

Before I could realize what she was doing she put her hand on my forehead.

I have no idea what she did with the Force, but the pain went away in mere seconds.

I looked at her with a curious face on.

"How did you do that?" I asked.

She smiled. "Barriss taught me something things"

"Well whatever you did it worked, thanks" I replied gratefully.

I could feel the battlecruiser lift off the ground. I switched on my comlink

"We leaving Admiral?" I said into the comm.

"Yes Sir, General Kenobi has joined us as well"

"Very good, im coming up to the bridge" And with that I disconnect the link.

I started walking out the door and turned back to Ahsoka.

"You coming Snips?"

She shrugged "Why not?"

We walked up to the bridge hand in hand. We both had forgot that attachment was allowed now, this earned us some weird looks from the clones, but we didn't care.

We opened the door to the bridge and walked in. The clones stood at attention, Obi-Wan was already at the holotable with an image of Naboo hovering above it.

"At ease" I said and all the clones slacked their shoulders back down.

'Nice of you to join us you two" Obi-Wan said with a smirk on his face.

"Don't make me kick you off my ship old man" I replied.

'You wouldn't dare" He replied.

"Don't make me shut the both of you up" Ahsoka said out of the blue.

I snickered "Im so scared"

"Don't tempt me" she relied to me.

"Snippy" I replied, this was amusing.

She responded by sending a small force push to my genital area. Now that made me double over.

I was on the floor and looked up at Obi-Wan. He had the biggest grin on his face.

I turned to look at Ahsoka. All she said was "Hey, I told you not to tempt me"

I got up off the floor and leaned on the holotable

"I'll remember that."

"Make sure you do, now lets get down to business" She said.

"Right, the Separatists have a large blockade around Naboo, Ahsoka it's our Job to break through the blockade so that Obi-Wan can land our forces on the ground. After we clean up with mess up here, we will join him on the ground."

"That sounds like a not so reckless plan" Ahsoka responded to me.

"I agree, but how are you going to break through that blockade?"

Crap, I hadn't got that far yet. Then I got an idea

"We could smash a cruiser into the command ship" I suggested.

"I knew you couldn't make plan that wasn't reckless, we only have four ships Anakin" Obi-Wan said.

"Fine then, we could just lead a squad of bombers in" I suggested again.

"That sounds better" He replied.

"Well it looks like we have our plan, once we break through the blockade, we will join Obi-Wan on the assault on Theed."

"A good plan" Ahsoka said with a smile.

I just hoped we would be able to pull it all off.

Obi-Wan's POV

I was watching the swirls of Hyperspace, Anakin and Ahsoka had already gone back to their quarters. I smirked at thought of them. Atleast they got to have a relationship and then it hit me.

I could show my feelings for Satine.

I got excited and then I realized I was on a Jedi cruiser on my way to a battlefield.

"Oh well, I can always tell her afterwards" I thought sadly.

This war was dragging on long enough. We needed to end it, and it's not the Jedi way, but I think everyone wants revenge for Coruscant.

I now truly had something to fight for. It was about time that the Council allowed attachments.

We still had some time before we got to Naboo so I decided to go to the mess hall, strangely enough there was no one there.

I walked into the kitchen and dug out some tea, Anakin had learned to always keep some on board just incase.

I made some and went to sit down at one of the empty tables, then Rex came in.

"Hello General" He told me respectfully.

"Hello Rex, care to it down?" I asked him.

Rex came over and sat down at table.

"Rex can I ask you something?"

"Of course General." He replied

"How did you get that?" I asked pointing to his Force pike.

"Oh, This thing" he said, chuckling at the story behind it.

"I beat Commander Tano in a duel, then Anakin got this for me"

"That's what I want to know, how did you beat her?" I asked getting a drink of my tea.

"Honestly, I wonder about that myself, I don't know, I just acted on instinct"

"Interesting"

I thought for a moment, could I even get him a lightsaber?

"Would you like to get an upgrade Captain?" I Asked him.

That caught him off guard.

"An upgrade?" He asked me.

"I could try to get you a lightsaber, that is of course if you want one."

"A-are you sure about that? I don't even think I could use one." He stuttered back.

"You obviously know how to use the Force pike, I think you could use a lightsaber. You would have to receive formal training." I told him truthfully

"I would be honored to use one, if I'm permitted to." He said.

I smiled. "Then I will talk to the Council"

"Thank you Sir" He told me.

I had finished my tea. I got up and walked over to Rex. I put my hand on his shoulder.

"You are welcome trooper." I told him and walked out the door.

This would certainly be interesting trying to get a Clone a lightsaber, but it was worth it, atleast I thought it was. I just hoped that the Council would think so too.

I also needed to talk to Satine, hopefully she still has feelings for me..

I just had to make sure I would survive the upcoming battle.

End of chapter.

Hmm, different this story is. Ah well yes next chapter we will have the battle over Naboo. Lets hope the Separatists aren't that strong. Anyway, Please Review!
