"So you're the one I felt a while back when I felt the bond shift"
"Yes Bail this is Ashoka Tano"
"Ah I remember her now, we never really did meet back in the original time line"
"So I gathered from my Masters memories"
"Bail how did you know she knew about the original time line?"
"That's complicated, though the basic answer is actually that I have no idea"
"I might, but for the moment I don't think I should tell you"
"Well we're headed to Alderaan, I have things I need to deal with right now"
"Well Ashoka looks like we're headed to Alderaan"
"By the way as soon as I saw the message I passed on a message of my own via emotions, Obi-wan contacted me on the way here and asked about the emotions and I told him what happened. I'm sure Padme has been informed by now about your survival"
"I'm sure about that as well"
As soon as they arrive on Alderaan both Ashoka and Anakin feel the dark side of the Force but only Anakin can really identify it as part of the greater evil that needed to be defeated before Palpatine
"Bail, remember how Obi-wan told you he, Yoda and I were given an extra mission by the Force"
"Don't tell me let me guess that greater evil is here"
"Indeed it is, we might finish it off sooner than expected"
"Your people are invited to stay in the palace until you can get transport home, but in the meantime those that are injured have a meeting with some bacta tanks"
"Thanks, some of the men need the bacta badly"
"I know"
Those that needed the bacta were steered towards the tanks while the rest gladly got some sleep in real beds for the first time in two months but Anakin and Ashoka stayed besides Bail as a layer of protection
"How long have we been missing anyways?"
"Two months"
"That's a long time"
"I'm not surprised you don't know how long it's been, you didn't exactly have a good way of measuring time did you?"
"None actually, except the fact that the day lasts twice as long there as it did on Coruscant though not as long as Tattooine does with it's twin suns"
"For now I need to contact some people to let them know I've arrived home safely"
Anakin and Ashoka are surprised to see him contact the Jedi Temple
"Good timing Bail, I was just about to send the code to Alderaan to see if you had arrived. Anakin Ashoka nice to see you two alive"
"Master Qui-Gon we weren't expecting Senator Organa to contact the Temple when he said he had to contact some people"
"It's been made mandatory since we lost contact with you two months ago. But only those that have the bond"
"Master Qui-Gon has Obi-wan told Cody about what we remember?"
"Yes he explained the story in full including how Cody shot him in the back due to Order 66"
"Yeah I gave Rex the whole story myself, I originally wasn't but I realized that he might actually need to know so I told both him and Ashoka the full story of the future we remember"
"That might actually be helpful in the future but who knows. Now then I have someone here who really wants to speak with you as well"
Right after Qui-Gon says that Padme comes into view
"Padme..."
"Hey Ani, I was actually here to meet with Qui-Gon about some protection details for a mission I have been assigned as a Senator when Bail called, I was going to call your personal comm later but now works fine"
"Indeed it does"
The two do a quick version of catch up and then turn the reigns back over to Bail and Qui-Gon respectively after saying goodbye in their own way glad they were with people who knew the truth and as such could openly display their love for each other. A few days later they were picked up only to learn of the new Separatist weapon that was destroying their ships without any survivors
"Has Master Plo Koon already been sent?"
"Yes he has"
"Can you connect me to his ship?"
"Sure thing General"
"Knight Skywalker what can I do for you?"
"More like what I can do for you, be extremely careful on this mission Master Plo Koon things are not what they seem"
"Understood Skywalker"
Comms are quickly cut
"Master?"
"Sorry Snips can't explain this one quite yet, besides what happened last time might not happen this time because of my warning"
Meanwhile Plo Koon was looking right at the enemy ship
"The enemy ship has reduced it's speed General"
"They must have realized that we're tracking them, keep the rest of the fleet here while we get a closer look, that ways they can call for help if needed"
"Yes General"
They make quick contact with Anakin and Ashoka and are informed that those two had been given orders to stay put. Eventually Plo Koon is informed the enemy ship was headed to them
"Looks like the other ships aren't going to be kept out of the fight sir"
"Indeed it does, keep a transmission line open if at all possible even with the interference if our signal is lost they'll know something has happened"
"Yes sir"
Sadly they're hit with the energy field and lost all their power
"Sir they've left us defenseless with that energy shield"
"Try and regain power"
"Yes sir"
They fail though and are forced into escape pods
"Now what General?"
"Now we wait and hope someone discovers our signal has disappeared"
Meanwhile Ashoka was arguing about Plo Koon surviving and supposedly not getting any where's not knowing about the mental communication between Yoda, Obi-wan and Anakin because they were keeping her from it
*Masters looks like this is turning into like last time, I'll pretend to scout ahead while in reality Snips and I will rescue Master Plo Koon*
*Good luck Anakin, maybe you can save more lives this time*
*Probably not but worth a try*
Comms are cut and Anakin speaks up slightly mad at Ashoka for not taking in the fact that she had his memories into mind
