The Dark Side of Things chapter 16.
Dang guys we are already at chapter 16, sorry for the wait though, I was kinda having writers block. Anyway, I'm not gonna take up any more time.
ON WITH THE STORY.
Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan were standing on the bridge waiting for the fleet to drop of hyperspace, they were seconds away from Naboo.
Anakin looked over at Obi-Wan.
"You sure you can handle yourself old man?" Anakin asked.
Obi-Wan chuckled, "The real question is if you can handle yourself Anakin"
Anakin got a fake look of shock on his face, "What is that supposed to mean?"
"Stop it, both of you" Ahsoka said out of the blue,
Anakin looked down at her, he was about to say something when the klaxon alarm went off, they were about to come out of hyperspace.
"Raise the shields, prepare to launch all fighters" Anakin shouted back to the Admiral.
"Yes sir" A reply came back.
"Come on Snips, time to save the galaxy again" Anakin joked as he walked out of the door of the bridge and towards the hanger.
Ahsoka quickly ran after him. Obi-Wan was shaking his head.
"Always on the move" He muttered to himself.

Ahsoka couldn't shake the feelings that were coming from the force, it was warning her. But of what?
She couldn't let that distract her, she had to be focused for the battle.
She was already in her Starfighter, waiting for the go signal.
Anakin was already in his Starfighter as well, with a squad of clones ready to follow him out of the hanger.
Ahsoka opened the comlink to the squad. "You boys ready?" She said in a humored tone.
A whole bunch of replies came back, "Yeah!"
Anakin's voice came through, "Blue squadron check in." He said in a serious tone.
"Blue one here"
"Blue two here, ready to waste some droids"
"Blue three here"
"Blue four here general"
"Blue five here"
"Blue six checking in.
"Blue seven here"
"Blue eight here, lets party!"
Anakin felt the ship lurch out of hyperspace, he could see the hanger door opening and the green light came out.
"Go. Go, go!" Anakin shouted as he flew his Starfighter out the hanger doors. Ahsoka and the squad of clones quickly followed.
Anakin's eyes widened at the amount of ships the enemy fleet had. They had double the amount of ships the Republic fleet had.
Anakin was getting the bad feeling too, but he couldn't place his finger on.
He shook his head as he flew into the mass of enemy fighters coming towards him.
Ahsoka was shooting down enemy fight fighter every chance she got until she heard a scream through the comlink, blue two got shot down.
She got a sad look on her face, she hated when the clones died.
Ahsoka led the rest of the squad towards one of the enemy ships, the flak was heavy.
Ahsoka shot her green plasma bolts into the bridge of the enemy ship and a massive fireball came up and the ship started drifting, one down seven to go.
A voice came through the comlink, "Good Job Snips!"
"Now you get one!" She shouted back.

Ahsoka's pov
I pushed down on the throttle and heard the engines roaring behind me. I was heading for another enemy cruiser when a vulture droid got behind me.
"Ah, kriff" I muttered to myself.
Apparently Anakin heard me. "Watch your language!" He shouted through the comm.
"I have a vulture on my tail!" I shouted back.
I pulled up on the stick and tried to circle behind the fighter but I couldn't shake him. I tried spinning but it stayed behind me. The red bolts were coming awfully close.
I was getting the bad feelings again, I shook it off and tried one more thing to get the vulture off my back.
I quickly shut off the thrusters and the vulture flew past me, I smiled.
"Stupid droid" I said as I fired and the vulture went up in flames.
I saw two more droid cruisers blow up, I could see Anakin going for another one.
I saw him shooting and I could hear him laughing as his bolts collided with enemy bridge.
"Can't do anything about that can you!" Anakin yelled at the ship through his cockpit.
I laughed, Anakin could always seem to get humor out of anything.
We hadn't lost a single cruiser, but half of blue squadron was gone.
I could see the last half of the enemy fleet, they were trying to escape, leaving their troops on the ground behind.
I could hear the clones shouting, "Haha! That's right run!"
I smiled. We had done our part, the Enemy ships jumped into hyperspace, but I could still the feel bad feeling from the force.

Obi-Wan's POV
I watched as the enemy fleet jumped into hyperspace, the space battle was won, but I still had to do my part on the ground.
I kept getting this feeling from the Force, but I didn't get I, we had halfway won this entire battle, with minimal casualties so far. I Saw Anakin and Ahsoka fly into the hanger. So I went down to greet them.
Once I got down to the hanger I saw Ahsoka sitting on her Starfighter, she looked rather upset.
I walked over to her and asked.
"Are you okay Ahsoka?"
She lifted her head up and looked up at me, she sighed.
"No, not really." She said is sad tone.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Its.. Its just I didn't expect to lose any clones in my squad this time." I could tell She was referring to what happened on Ryloth, it seemed so long ago.
I sat down beside her
"They died for a good cause"
"I know…" She replied.
We sat there in silence for a small but and then I had to go.
"Keep your head up Ahsoka." I told her.
With a sad smile on her face she said.
"I will"
;-
There the feeling was again. I seriously couldn't shake it, and it was beginning to bother me.
Suddenly I felt a huge disturbance in the force. I lifted my comlink.
"Anakin… do you feel that?" I said in a shallow whisper.
"Yes Master. Something isn't right." I heard Anakin respond.
"Meet me on the bridge" I told him and ended the connection.
;-
Anakin walked up behind me, I was staring into the blackness of space.
"Anything on the scanners?" He asked.
"No, but I don't think we could detect whatever it is" I said
There it was again. I jerked my head towards the window as the Force directed me. That was when I saw a massive object come out of hyperspace.
My eyes widened as I saw what it was.
It was the Death Star.
"Oh Kriff…" I heard Anakin whisper.
The whole bridge was quiet, staring at the large station until something began to happen. A green light was forming. And with a eardrum busting noise. The green light shot outwards.
The light collided with the Republic cruiser to our left and the ship exploded into a massive ball of debris and flame.
That was what shook everyone out of their stupor.
"Turn the ship around!" Anakin yelled at the officers as another shot came and another explosion occurred.
The ship was completely turned around as I saw a blast come very close to the Resolute.
"Jump Admiral!"
And with that the ship jumped. Only half the Republic fleet remaining.
End of chapter.
