Chapter 6
As Anakin, Obi Wan and Plo Noon landed on Onderon's surface most of the battle droids retreated, leaving a destroyed Onderon. The survivors of the attack were helping the wounded and attempting to find lost loved ones. They were confused as to why they would leave.
"We have to get to the king, now!" Anakin stated. That's the only reason they would leave. They got what they wanted.
The king's castle was nearly destroyed, but the king was already outside digging through the rubble. Obi Wan went next him to help him. He needed medical attention. "Lux is in there," the king stated.
If Lux is there that means Ahsoka! Anakin thought. Using the force the three Jedi masters lifted the rubble carefully. They heard a moan and quickly followed it. "Stop!" Anakin said as he saw a hand come from the rubble. They moved the rubble around him and found an injured Lux. He had a gash on his forehead with blood slowly trickling down his face. He was covered in dirt and it looked like his left arm was broke.
All three of them carefully helped him but he struggled. "S-soka they got her." Tears were running down his face.
"Who!"
"Dooku," Lux muttered before passing out in pain.
"Why would Dooku want Ahsoka? She's… Not a Jedi anymore," Anakin asked, panic in his voice. He wanted to find needed to find her.
"Little Soka still knows all the secrets of the Jedi, maybe that is why. They knew she would be alone," Plo Koon said.
"We must contact the council and inform them."
Anakin left Lux to the medical droid on their ship and went to speak with the council. He was worried. Ahsoka was strong but she was always with Anakin. There has to be a reason why Dooku wanted her.
"Strange this is," Yoda said. "Strong Ahsoka is, but stronger Dooku is. Find her we must."
"Why was Ahsoka on Onderon?" Asked Master Shaak Ti. The jedi master figured she would return to her home planet of Shili.
"It seems little Soka is in a romantic relationship with Senator Lux Bonteri." Shaak Ti had a smile on her face as Plo Noon informed the other shocked Council members.
"Hmm. Interesting this is. Attempt to save Ahsoka, Senator Bonteri will. Being him to coruscant you will. Watch him we will."
"Yes master's we will head back right now," Obi Wan said.
"I'm going to stay with the senator until he wakes up with to ask him some questions," Plo said as he made his way to the ship's infirmary.
Plo Koon didn't let it show, but he was extremely worried about Ahsoka. He couldn't help but think if she was still a Jedi this wouldn't have happened. But if she was still a Jedi she wouldn't be as happy as she was. When they returned speak about the attachment rule. He wasn't the only one who disliked the rule. Relationships weren't as bad as members of the council thought. He would know this from experience.
Lux was all patched up by the medical droid. The droid said he should make a full recovery. Lux's eyes fluttered open slowly, and suddenly he remembered what happened. He jumped up, moaning in pain and fell back on the bed. "Ahsoka!" He cried. Plo Noon jumped up to settle the senator.
"Senator calm down," Plo Koon told him. "You're injured and need to rest."
Lux bit his lips in pain. "I need to find Soka."
"You don't need to worry, we are going to find her."
"Really. You're not going to abandon her like you did before," Lux shot back bitterly, not meaning the words he said.
The words were brutal but they were true. "I know we betrayed Little Soka, but I will look across the universe until I find her and bring her back."
"I'm sorry master Jedi. I love her so much and I don't know what I would do if I lost her," Lux told him. "Please bring her back." Lux's eyes grew as he realized he had to inform Ahsoka's family. "Master Plo, Ahsoka went back home to Shili and found her family. I have to inform them that she is missing."
Plo nodded. "When we get to coruscant we will."
Lux exited the ship with the help of Plo Koon and he saw A togruta woman, who almost reminded him of gave the woman a small smile and she gave one back to him. "Senator Bonteri this is Jedi Master Shaak Ti." Plo Koon introduced the two.
Lux remember Ahsoka talking about Shaak Ti. She admired her and hoped to one day make her and their people proud by becoming a Jedi master and serving on the council, but everyone knew that wouldn't happen. Instead Ahsoka could have a family and be happy. That is if they find her before anything bad can happen to her. "Nice to meet you Master Ti." Lux said wincing in pain.
"And to you too Senator," she greeted back. "Now let's get you inside so you may rest." Plo Koon and Shaak took Lux to the medic bay, while Obi Wan and Anakin went to the Jedi council to discuss a plan on bringing Ahsoka home.
"A disturbance there is. Sense Ahsoka's pain I do," said master Yoda closing his eyes.
"You both share a great bond even though you are not her master anymore," Master Windu started. "You will be able to sense her. You will be able to talk to her through the force. Call out through the force Skywalker."
Anakin focused his mind, looking deep in the force, and called out to Ahsoka. "Ahsoka," He called out through the force, hoping she would hear him and answer. All he wanted was for her to be back. Safe. Images started to flow through his mind. He saw a dark room and heard Ahsoka screaming in pain. The sound of her in pain made his heart hurt. "Ahsoka." He saw her clearly now. She was strapped to a table. Sweat beading her body and he could see bruises forming on various parts of her body, They were torturing her.
"Master help me."
"Ahsoka!" he screamed. He was facing the council again and the images left, but Ahsoka's screams were buried in his mind. "They're torturing her. She's in pain."
"Find her we will. Abandon her again, we will not," Yoda announced with nods from multiple council members. Windu's face stayed the same but he was in agreeance. They would bring Ahsoka home!
Allya Tano was cleaning her home and cooking supper. Having two grandchildren was a blessing, but it was very tiring. Korie was at the school teaching, so she had her grandbabies to herself all day. She chased around the toddlers. They were screaming and laughing at the same time. She remembered when her own children were this little. Only she didn't get to see Ahsoka grow up.
When Ahsoka was three she started moving things with her mind and her father thought it was dark magic. He didn't like it. But Allya knew that she had access to the force. She didn't care, she was actually proud and happy that her daughter was showing signs of force sensitivity. Allya wished she would have stayed up longer that night that her husband took Ahsoka to that town. If she would have she would have been able to keep her daughter for a little longer before she was taken, but she was glad she was safe with the Jedi instead of dead with those other villagers after the attack.
She missed Ahsoka. She just got her youngest daughter back, but she had to leave. Allya understood. Even though Ahsoka wasn't a Jedi she still loved to help people, it was in her blood and Onderon was her home. Ahsoka told her she would come back very soon, after the battle was done. Allya couldn't wait to see her daughter again.
"Rowan put that down!" Allya demanded her grandson after he put a rock in his mouth. "We don't eat rocks."
Allya was interrupted by her holopad beeping. She emptied her handful of toys into the bin and answered the call. Lux was standing there with a Kel Dor male and another female togruta. His arm was in a cast and he had a saddened look on his bruised face. "Lux. Is everything okay?"
"I uh I need you to come to coruscant immediately." He lowered his head, taking a deep breath before looking back at Ahsoka's mother. "Ahsoka has been taken by the separatists,"
Dooooonnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
