(Just thought I'd let you all know. The more feed back I get the faster I will update my stories. Hope you all are enjoying this one. Please: Read, Enjoy and Review.)
Ahsoka walked onto the bridge of the Resolute and directly up to Admiral Yularen "Commander Tano you arrival is unexpected" Yularen said. "It was a last minute deployment, I need to link up with Captain Rex immediately" Ahsoka lied, she was in no mood to put up with questions from the man, she just needed to find Rex.
Yularen eyed the girl for a moment, she looked different. There was no smile on her face and her eyes were no longer their bright blue color. He noticed a third lightsaber hanging from her belt and realized that it was Anakin Skywalker's saber "Commander I am truly sorry for your loss, General Skywalker will be sorely missed" he said. "Just tell me where Captain Rex is Admiral" Ahsoka snapped.
"He has been redeployed to the planet of Dathomir." Yularen said. "Take me there immediately" Ahsoka replied quickly leaving no room for argument as she turned and walked from the bridge.
Ahsoka board a shuttle that would take her to the surface of Dathomir, she was surrounded by a squad of clone troopers. "Commander, Rex is held up in sector three. He is pinned down, we will try to get you as close as possible" a clone said. Ahsoka nodded and as the shuttle landed and she stepped out followed by her clones.
It took nearly and thirty minutes to reach Rex position because Ahsoka and her men were ambushed by some droids. When Ahsoka was finally able to get to Rex and clear the area she walked over to him.
"Thanks for the help Commander I didn't think our request for reinforcements reached the Republic" Rex said taking his helmet off and sat down to catch his breath. Ahsoka nodded "Rex I need to ask you something" she said standing in front of the man.
Ahsoka didn't give Rex a chance to respond before she spoke "What happened to my master?" she asked. Rex looked up at her "You mean you don't know?" Rex asked surprised. "I know the file said he was killed here but I want to know how Rex, Obi-wan won't tell me and I need to know. The report of the battle was removed from Anakin's file and only a Jedi can do that" Ahsoka replied.
"I need to know if you saw or heard anything" Ahsoka continued. Rex rubbed the back of his neck and thought about how to answer the Jedi's question. "We were helping the witches fight off the Separatists, they contacted the Jedi asking for help and the council sent General Skywalker and Kanobi as well as some clones. Soon after our arrival General Skywalker got separated from the squad. We fought like hell against the droids but they just kept coming, we held out for five days but we were low on everything: Ammo, food and fuel for our machines" Rex started.
"Rex I don't care about that just tell me about my master" Ahsoka snapped. "General Kanobi sent me and three other men to find General Skywalker, we came across the witches home and saw the General about to go in. He said he saw a bunch of droids go in and he told us to send a message to the Republic for reinforcements. After the main battle was over we were still fighting pockets of droids but were able to get inside of the witches home" Rex continued.
"And did you find my master?" Ahsoka asked, Rex lowered his eyes and sighed. "We searched for days inside of that place Commander, there were droids scattered all over the floor but we couldn't find the General. All General Kanobi was able to find was Skywalker's lightsaber. We didn't have the supplies to stay put and keep searching we had to pull out and get more supplies, we had to Commander we didn't have a choice, our scouts told us that more droids were on their way and if we didn't pull out to rearm then we wouldn't last. I tried to convince the others to keep searching but we were force to leave. A month later we were sent back to help clean up the rest of the droids" Rex finished.
Ahsoka took a moment to process what Rex had said. In her mind they had abandoned him, they had left him behind…alone to die. Maybe it was from lack of proper nutrition or maybe it was just all the pain she was feeling because of her masters death that caused her to think this way. "You abandoned him! You left him here to die!" Ahsoka snarled loudly.
"Commander we had no choice we had to pull out" Rex replied, "There always a choice and you choose to leave him!" Ahsoka said raising her voice louder. Rex stood up "We were low on supplies what would you have had us do?" Rex snapped back. "Stay and look for my master! He is gone now because of you and Obi-wan!" Ahsoka yelled shoving past Rex and grabbed the nearest Night Sister whirling her around to face her.
"Take me to you home now" Ahsoka demanded angrily. Several of the Night Sisters had their weapons trained on the Jedi padawan. "Commander listen to me, we check he is not there" Rex said walking up to the girl again. Ahsoka ignored the Captain and glared at the Night Sister "Take me to your home now!" she snarled.
The Night Sister nodded and pulled away from Ahsoka's grasp "I will take you" she said and began to walk north. Ahsoka followed close behind the Night Sister "Commander where are you going?" Rex yelled. "To find my masters body" she snapped back and walked away from Rex.
