"You're late Skywalker"
"Sorry Master Fisto, had to drop off my Padawan first"
"Oh is that why you have her lightsaber?"
"Mandalore isn't allowing off worlders to have weapons at the moment because of Obi-wan"
"What did he do to get that sanction?"
"You don't want to know, now then how's the fight going here?"
"Not good, I've already lost half my men and the Separatists are gaining ground every day because of an active retreat being needed"
"Good thing I've brought reinforcements then, hopefully we'll be able to regain ground quickly and take out their base"
"Indeed, you don't want to be late to pick up your Padawan"
"No I don't"
Fortunately they do exactly that and when he picked up Ashoka she mentioned that the mission had it's moments
"Master, I keep getting feelings through my bond with Senator Organa which I don't even know how that happened in the first place"
"That's a bit complicated and involves your training bond with me, what feelings are you getting?"
"Worry for the most part and also concern"
"Obi-wan is currently on Alderaan and they've probably discovered trouble"
"Let's hope it doesn't last"
"Agreed"
Fortunately a few days later Obi-wan returned to the Temple bruised and in need of some decent sleep but otherwise he was fine
"So how's it going on Alderaan?"
"Not good, it might be destroyed before it's supposed to because the greater evil is constantly attacking Alderaan at the moment"
"What can we do to give Alderaan a break?"
"Not much at the moment I'm afraid"
"We'll figure something out then"
Finally they had a meeting and that's when Anakin remembered the assassination plot against Padme but first he had to get to the meeting with the Council to receive their next mission
"Welcome Padawan, in order congratulations are, shown your courage and strength yet again you have"
"Job well done Ashoka"
"And now on to more pressing matters"
"To Balith you must go Skywalker"
"There's a large scale civil war on Balith, they have requested our assistance. Anakin you will leave immediately to command the third legion"
"I've never been to Balith"
"You will stay here Padawan, we need your full report"
"As you wish"
The two leave the Council chambers and head to the landing platform
"Ashoka, I sense you're uneasy what is it?"
"Oh I...nothing. Master let me come with you if I'm not with you who else will have your back?"
"Stay here, finish your studies, get some rest"
"You've said it yourself, I learn more in the field then I ever do here"
"Well, think of this as a chance to prove me wrong"
Anakin runs to the transport and gets in and then turns around and gives Ashoka an order he knows she won't follow
"Stay out of trouble!"
Ashoka is asleep when she receives a vision of someone she had met in the past grabbing her throat and says one simple phrase
"She will die and there's nothing that you can do"
Ashoka wakes up and decides to meet with Yoda
"Enter"
The door opens and Yoda invites Ashoka in
"Have a seat young Padawan"
He waits until Ashoka sits down and then speaks again
"Troubled you are Padawan"
"Yes Master Yoda I've been having...dreams"
"Hm, dreams you say?"
"Yes dreams, or visions I don't know, but they're so real"
"Premonitions, telling you something they are"
"I know I reported otherwise, but I believe that Aurra Sing isn't dead, she's still alive and she's preparing to kill someone close to me"
"So you begin to see the true power of the Force, visions they are, under estimate them you must not. Meditate, to see clearly, more experience you need"
Ashoka leaves and studies late at night in the records room where the person in charge goes to her with disks
"These should help you with your studies dear"
"Study, I should be out there fighting, not in here studying"
Ashoka looks through files of people and falls asleep during it where she has another vision of Aurra Sing and this time with a weapon and sees someone telling Sing to kill someone and also sees Padme as well. She comes out of it suddenly knowing what was going on
"Senator Amidala is in danger"
She quickly heads to Padme's headquarters and meets up with Padme's security chief who escorts her to Padme's room
"Senator, Padawan Ashoka Tano is here to see you"
"Senator Amidala"
"Ashoka, it's so good to see you, how have you been?"
"Honestly I've been better, I'm worried for you Senator. I sense you are in grave danger"
Padme gives Ashoka a concerned look knowing what was going to happen but had to play along for her security chief
"What makes you believe that?"
"I've been having dreams, bad dreams, Padme I know you're in danger I just know it"
Typho decides to speak up
"What kind of danger?"
"I believe that a very dangerous bounty hunter is out to assassinate you"
"This is troubling, Captain please take all necessary precautions"
"You're leaving?"
"Yes Bail Organa and I are leading a conference concerning the refugees from the war. I leave for Alderaan in the morning"
"But the threat to your life"
"Ashoka the refugee situation is much too crucial to ignore I called this conference, it could make an enormous difference in policy, it's vital that I go"
"Yes Senator"
The next day Ashoka heads to her room and meditates to hopefully get a better understanding of the situation and this time clearly sees Aura Sing aim at Senator Amidala, and as such confers with Yoda
"I am sure now that it is Senator Amidala who is in danger"
"Senator Amidala you say?"
"Yes Master, I've seen it in my visions"
"Choose you must how to respond to your visions, but remember always in motion is the future and many possible futures there are"
"Yes Master"
Ashoka instantly heads to the platform Padme was leaving from and runs towards her speaking up
"Senator"
"Ashoka what is it?"
"I can't just stay behind knowing about the threat to your life, allow me to come with you, please?"
"Well I suppose it couldn't hurt besides I enjoy your company of course you can join me, as extra security"
Typho gives the okay and they walk to the ship
"Thank you Padme"
Once on the ship Padme calls Bail about Ashoka joining in like last time
"Aurra Sing?"
"Yes, it's time for her now that I remember this war"
"Didn't Ashoka wake you up because of a vision?"
"Yes and it's probably going to happen again"
And indeed it does but first they have the same conversation as last time though Ashoka didn't remember because she had gotten her Masters memories
"You'll learn to play in time Ashoka, someday you'll even beat me"
"It's not that"
"What's on your mind?"
"I've been mostly unsure about my abilities on my own, usually Master Skywalker is there to guide me"
"When I was queen, I felt the same insecurities as you do now and I had my advisers but it was ultimately up to me to run the entire Naboo system, and I was very afraid at times"
"Really? You felt unsure?"
"Oh yes, but I have learned to trust in myself and you will too"
"Thank you, one more game?"
"Absolutely"
They soon arrive on Alderaan and are met by Bail and Mon Mothma
"Padme"
"Bail, it's so good to see you, thank you so much for hosting this conference dealing with the refugees of this war needs to be our number one priority"
"Absolutely, your presence here is greatly appreciated, come Senator Mothma and I will take you to your quarters"
They head to Padme's quarters and outside Ashoka meditates again and sees more of the vision and as such enters the quarters to talk to Padme
"Senator might I have a word with you in private?"
"Of course Padawan Tano, if you'll excuse me"
Padme gets close to Ashoka so that she can talk
"I know I made a mistake last night, but that doesn't mean the threat to you isn't any less"
"I haven't lost faith in you Ashoka"
"I know, and I appreciate that"
"I don't mean to interject but now is not the time for this, Senator Amidala must prepare for the summit"
"But I believe the attempt on your life is going to happen tonight"
"Why tonight?"
"I had another vision and it was much clearer, I could see more than usual even a location, it was a larger room, you were giving a speech"
"This room, could you recognize it if you saw it?"
"Yes I think I could"
Ashoka is then led to the room that Padme was scheduled to give her speech in
"So does anything look familiar?"
"Yes, this is it, this is the place I saw in my vision"
"Where would the assassin be?"
"That's, the part I'm not sure of"
"We are taking all the necessary precautions, correct Captain?"
"Yes milady"
"But Aurra Sing will know what you plan to do, she'll find a way in"
"Ashoka, in your vision, does Aurra succeed?"
"I...I can't tell"
"Well then at least we have a fighting chance"
Later Ashoka goes outside where Amidala was
"Isn't it just beautiful?"
"Yes but I really must insist you go back inside, it's not safe for you out here"
"Ashoka I can't stop living my life, you forget I am a friend of the Jedi. I'm no stranger to taking risks. What is it?"
"I'm confused, my visions are telling me one thing but reality is telling me another I don't know which to believe anymore. Maybe I'm wrong maybe no one's out to kill you"
The next day the conference begins and Bail speaks up
"As the conflict that divides our galaxy escalates, we cannot lose perspective on the value of life and the price of freedom no one knows this truth more than the distinguished Senator Padme Amidala of Naboo"
"Thank you Senator Organa. I wanted to first thank you all for coming this is a cause that is very important to me, I can remember after the illegal blockade of my home world, Naboo by the Trade Federation how many lives were thrown into chaos. True, in the grand scale of things it was a small conflict, and true there was only one battle fought during the occupation. But let us examine the cost of that one conflict, hundreds of Naboo were forced from their homes, Naboo security forces and the Gungan army both incurred heavy casualties, and though the Force brought him back somehow and for unknown reasons the life of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn was temporarily lost. And yet now I find myself a party to and witness of a full-scale war that has divided our great Republic in two. Already more than a hundred Jedi have given their lives..."
Padme was forced to stop talking because during the conversation Ashoka realized what was going on and managed to stop Aurra Sing from firing a fatal shot on the Senator, and then Ashoka fights Aurra who retreats temporarily, meanwhile Bail takes charge of the situation up front
"Get a medical droid, we need a medic!"
Later Ashoka is simply left pacing in front of the treatment room waiting to hear word about Padme, her Masters wife. Finally the medical droid is finished and comes out and speaks to her
"The Senator will be fine, it was only a flesh wound"
Ashoka runs in and instantly decides to apologize
"Padme I'm sorry"
"For what Ashoka? You did all you could"
"Did you find the assassin?"
"She ran off before I could get her"
"Of course I forgot about that"
"Wait you know about Aurra Sing?"
"Yes, Padme and I remember the future just like your Master does, aren't you even a little confused as to how you have a bond with me?"
"Well yes but to be honest I don't really think about it often"
"Because I don't give you a reason to think about it. Your Master Anakin Skywalker, Obi-wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Yoda and I have a unique bond given to us through the Force for reasons I don't fully understand. Originally it was just Anakin, Obi-wan and Yoda that had the bond but eventually they added Qui-Gon and I to it and when you became Anakin's apprentice you formed a separate bond from me for reasons I don't know and eventually Padme will be added to the bond as well though for some reason it's not yet time for that. The Force gave the first three a mission and I guess the Force decided that they would need allies so about a year after they were sent to the past I remembered the future as well and though he had to remain hidden for a time Qui-Gon also remembered the future because he was brought back by the Force as another ally. When Anakin and Padme saw each other again after a decade Padme also remembered the future and as such she is also a hidden ally to hopefully prevent what we remember. The bond doesn't allow for mental communication on my end but I can feel everyone's emotions if I concentrate enough plus I can tell if someone is forceably knocked out"
"Didn't you also mention knowing if someone was actually still alive or not?"
"Except for that one instance yes we can tell if the other is alive or not"
"How often did you fight a headache?"
"At least once a day if not more often, but I succeeded in ignoring it for the most part because there was still hope Anakin was alive and we were right"
"Oh the crash where we were gone for two months and Master Skywalker told Rex and I about the future"
"Yes, in private Obi-wan told Cody as well and I was recently told that he wants to tell Duchess Satine the truth as well"
"They have yet to meditate on that as a group though"
"Didn't know that Padme"
"Anyways, what are we going to do about Sing?"
"Well we already know she comes for me again this time in this room, so I think we should just play things out like before"
"Anakin isn't going to like this Padme"
"Don't I know it, but since I don't really have access to the Force this is the best option we've got. Master Yoda has given me lessons on control because for some reason my midichlorian count went up after I married Ani, but I still feel this is the best option we have"
"Padme you know my visions are all mixed up"
"Padme, I'm not willing to gamble with your life and I know that Anakin isn't going to you just agreed with me about that"
"Wait a minute I think I have a way we can get around putting you in danger here and have you attend the conference, we move you to another medical room and have a droid take your place"
"No that won't work, simply be here hidden at all times Ashoka"
"Fine"
Things turn out like last time and eventually though Ziro escapes thanks to Cad Bane the Jedi knew the truth. Meanwhile on Balith while Ashoka was protecting Padme Anakin wasn't having a very good time with the civil war
"Rex, try and get those tanks up here"
"Yes sir"
Eventually the civil war ends and Anakin finds out that Aurra Sing attacked Padme once again because of Ziro
"What now?"
"Well we actually hope to avoid something if at all possible but if it's not then we'll simply deal as we go"
"What are you hoping to avoid?"
"A planet known as Mortis"
"We also have another concern"
"What is it Padme?"
"I think this is about when Maul returns"
"You're right, we have to think about that as well"
"For now though let's just continue our mission"
"Sure, by the way, Bail has asked your help in getting some of his people moved to the new planet just in case the Death Star is still created and is ultimately responsible for destroying Alderaan like last time"
"Maybe because we'll hopefully be on Tython by the time the twins are born...if they're born Alderaan won't be destroyed. If I remember hearing you correctly it was destroyed because my future daughter was part of the Rebel Alliance and Alderaan was destroyed as a demonstration and warning"
"True, but something tells us that Alderaan is still going to be destroyed, then again I sometimes get visions of Alderaan still there but completely abandoned for no reason at all, with the future in motion all the time we simply don't know yet, plus we have a greater evil that might force Alderaan to be abandoned"
"Hopefully by that time if that happens no one will ask about where the people are relocated"
"Ani you know that means that the Republic has become an Empire"
"I know but honestly until we defeat the greater evil we can't defeat Palpatine"
"Why not?"
"Because if we do the Jedi will be utterly destroyed anyways even with more Jedi surviving we won't be able to defeat the greater evil but right now the greater evil his hiding behind Palpatine, even if it is acting against us it won't reveal itself to Sidious for reasons we don't understand"
"The two sides would destroy each other and the Republic"
"And maybe that's why, the greater evil probably wants control of the Republic and as such is waiting for Palpatine to make it into an Empire and then be defeated and take over"
"So wait...the greater evil is hiding and as such is actually weaker than Palpatine right now?"
"For the most part yes, however there is a chance the greater evil will team up with Palpatine which would make the Empire much worse than I remember it, honestly in some of my better moments I was glad you were dead and weren't seeing what the Republic had become"
"So what's next?"
"Mortis possibly, we just simply don't know, and Savage Opress is also going to be looking for Maul"
"We'll deal with Maul once he reveals himself Ani, as for Mortis I remember what you told me about it and I hope you won't have to go through that again"
"Agreed"
As it turned out they would be able to avoid Mortis purely on the fact that since the Force had brought Anakin and Obi-wan back from the future they didn't need to experience Mortis again, not to mention Qui-Gon wouldn't even be there this time due to the fact that he was alive. Instead they went to Raxus due to the fact that there was trouble there that no one had been expecting, not even the original three Jedi sent from the future back into the past. Ashoka even asked about it in the privacy of Yoda's quarters
"Masters do you remember this from the first time around?"
"No Ashoka we don't, though it might have happened and we just didn't pay enough attention last time"
"Happen last time this did not, changing the future is"
"By the way Anakin, the Force has officially assigned Qui-Gon as Bail's Jedi protector so he'll no longer be around the Temple"
"Figured that would happen soon"
Just then though everyone felt a strong wave of emotions and quickly realized it came from Bail
"Something's just happened to Bail"
"Yes but what?"
"Wait, didn't John die around this time last time?"
That made everyone stop and think because they knew how important John was to Bail, and this time he was even more important than originally because he was one of the few who knew that Bail remembered a terrible future and as such was instrumental in helping Bail set up things for the future and also helping him cope, not to mention he was the only one who could safely take the Senator down if he was having a flashback and there weren't any Jedi available because even if no one but the original three and Qui-Gon as they were called remembered they were all informed about the fact that Bail also remembered the future and was very dangerous if he had a flashback. They were also informed of the fact that only John had been informed of the fact that he remembered the future full of war and as such was the only person on Bail's security team that would know how to bring Bail out of it if he was remembering future events not happened yet in this time period
"Rex get some of the men to the last known location of Senator Organa, if need be he has a wrist comm on him that can be tracked"
"What for sir?"
"Not now Rex"
"Yes sir"
They get to Bail's current location and see massive body counts, though the Jedi quickly recognized that those body counts were attackers and that some of them weren't actually dead but knocked out cold. They also saw Bail cradling a body and quickly realized that it was John's body
"Bail, let him go"
"No"
"Bail, you need to let John go"
"No"
"Bail I know you want to hold John but Stretcher needs to see him now"
"What's the use?"
"Bail, just trust me Stretcher will take good care of him I promise but you need to let go"
