Ahsoka's pov

Looking at myself in the mirror. I realized how much I had changed over the past month. Not only physically but mentally. After the Death Star incident, Anakin had been different. More driven to defeat the enemy then he was before, which was hard to believe considering even how hard he fought before Palpatine was killed.

I also noted the new feature that was on my face, joining the white marks I already had, was a scar. It looked almost exactly like Anakin's except it was over the opposite eye. It was just beginning to heal.

I traced my fingers over the delicate flesh as I flashed back to that day. We had gotten information from our spies that the Seppies were using Dagobah, a world shrouded in mystery and confusion. As a base to produce munitions for their armies. Me and Anakin had been dispatched along with Rex and the 501st to take out the base

(flashback)

Also Ahsoka's POV

Watching the blue whirls of hyperspace had always comforted me for some reason. I had often in the middle of the night, while we were in hyperspace, simply come to the bridge and watch outside the window. Most of the clones were in the barracks, but the ones up there didn't care much about me standing there.

Thats where I am right now, standing on the bridge, watching those ominous blue whirls. Only this time it wasn't so relaxing because I knew we were about to head into a major battle.

Anakin was to my left with his hand on my shoulder. Sensing my nervousness, and to my right was the captain that had been there since the beginning. Captain Rex. Standing upright with his hands behind his back and the force pike in the sash that he always carried.

We came out of hyperspace to find that, to a pleasant but suspicious surprise, that there were no Separatist ships blockading the planet. Maybe they didn't know we were coming. Hopefully.

Rex spoke first

"Yeah right, like the seps would leave a base unprotected like this"

I also sensed suspicion out of Anakin.

"I know Rex, I don't like it either. But we have to proceed. Admiral take us down to the surface!" Anakin shouted back towards Yularen.

"Yes General"

With those words the two Venator class star cruisers stared descending to the surface of the shadowy world.

We had landed 5 clicks from where the base was supposed to be. For some reason, we had only been given Two AT-TEs for the mission. It came with less firepower and meant that most of the 501st would have to walk.

Normally, Anakin would have been walking right along side the troops, but he had sprained his ankle a few days before, me being who I am, I made him ride in the tank, he eventually succumbed to my wishes. But not without a bit of a fit.

"Ahsoka I'm fine!" He whined.

"Now you won't be if you happen to step on that foot wrong again now will you?"

"Ill be fine Snips" He said and started walking off.

"Anakin Skywalker!" I shouted.

He looked back at me. Only to see my with a death look on my face with my finger pointed at the tank.

He groaned, and apparently not wanting to argue. Got into that tank.

I smiled and waved for the legion of troops behind me to follow. I could sense Anakin's annoyance in the Force, but I knew he would get over it.

Dagobah was in a sense beautiful, the Force was very strong here, And that was comforting. Rex walking beside me also helped. He didn't like the place too much.

"This place gives me the creeps" He said.

I nudge his shoulder "Cheer up Rexster, take breath of fresh air and relax a little" I said with a smile.

"It's hard to do that when you know you are about to get shot at." Rex told me a little bluntly.

"Just try to enjoy this moment of peace while we have it. Please?" I told him.

I saw him relax a little and I smiled. I knew the clone didn't get much time to rest while on the battlefield, or anywhere else for that matter.

I checked my chrono and saw it was only midday. It didn't take that long to walk five clicks, but this was seeming to draw out.

All of the sudden the Force whispered a warning to me. Anakin must have felt it too, because he immediately commed my comlink.

"Ahsoka, you felt that too right?

"Yes Anakin, I felt it" I said in a bit of a sarcastic tone, trying to release some tension.

He chuckled a little before taking on a serious tone. "Watch yourself please? I don't want you to get hurt. And er. Love you" He said it low so the guys wouldn't hear.

"I love you too" I whispered back and the connection cut. I turned my head around to hear Rex and a few of his squad quietly laughing.

"You all better stop before something happens to one of you." I joking shot at them.

Most of them kept laughing. Including Rex. So I decided to have a little fun. I lightly pushed Rex with the Force causing him to fall into Kix and both of them ended up falling. I started laughing at the sight and had to cover my mouth because I was laughing so hard. The other clones were laughing too.

They got up and started walking straight again, slightly embarresed.

The atmosphere of fun ended when were only two clicks from the base. The sound of a sniper blast rang through the trees and took out Jack, one of the clones that had been near one of the tanks. Luckily we had been on a path so that the tanks could follow, but the trees around made excellent cover.

Rex was the first one to shout "Hit the deck!"

Everyone dropped to the ground as more sniper fire rang out, you could see the sniper fire overhead.

We could wait any longer to get up. So I leapt up and ignited my sabers. Deflecting any shots that came in the direction of me or the clones.

We had a fairly large amount of clones in the legion. So it was an amazing sight to see all those blue bolts fly into the trees. But this was also met with the battalion of droids that came out of the trees.

I started to run into the trees just as Anakin leapt into the air out of the tank with his lightsaber ignited.

I was cutting down droids left and right, I didn't think these things could get any dumber.

Anakin apparently didn't want me running into the enemy force like that, but the clones had my back. Anakin also made his displeasure clear by shouting "Ahsoka!"

I heard him but was already too deep in the fight to stop. I was In my prime. Whirling my sabers around, destroying droids, and I enjoyed it.

That was until I came around a tree and out of nowhere, was a droid with a vibroblade. I didn't have enough time to react.

I Felt my face sting as the blade cut into my face, I fell to the ground as I heard Rex whip out his own Pike and struck down that droid with such force I could hear the metal being ripped apart.

I was still aware of my surroundings, but in a daze. I felt someone pick me up and started carrying towards the direction of what sounded to be a LAAT. Anakin must have had one called in that fast.

Then I blacked out.

End flashback.

Ahsoka's pov

I had to read the report to see what happened at the end of that battle, apparently I had lost a lot of blood by the time they had gotten me to the Resolute. Anakin was so worried. In the end we had destroyed that base by orbital bombardment due to the massive amount of droids that was there.

I was in our quarters in the Temple now, they had brought me back to Coruscant after the incident.

Anakin walked into our quarters as I was looking into the mirror. He must have sensed my remembrance.

"Does it still hurt?" He said as he gently trailed the scar.

"Not really, but it is going to take a little time to get used to it being there." I told him.

"I know the feeling, trust me" He chuckled.

I heard a knock on the door and walked over to open the door. I sensed Obi-Wan's Force signature and smiled.

I opened the door and there stood The Negotiator.

"Hello Master Kenobi" I said with a smile.

He returned the smile "Hello Ahsoka" And he walked it.

Anakin noticed the wooden case he was carrying.

"What's in the case Master?" He asked.

"Oh, just a little something for your Captain, I think he will like it" Obi-Wan replied with some humor in his voice.

Anakin took the case and opened it. A look of shock appeared.

I Walked over to see what was in it. My eyebrows lifted when I saw it.

Obi-Wan sensed our shock, "Yes, it is his" He said.

It was a lightsaber.

A/N- Oooh a lightsaber. I don't have much to say except thank you again for reviewing. Please review again! And leave your suggestions!
