Spiraling out of control chapter 6
"I am growing worried for Ahsoka" Master Shaak ti said standing next to Master Kanobi. "She is having a much harder time dealing with the death of Anakin than I am" Obi-wan replied. "She's become emotionally unstable Master Kanobi and I fear that she may never get over Skywalker's death" Shaak said.
"Yes I know Master Shaak ti, I have sensed it and I two grow worried for the young padawan" Obi-wan replied. "We should check on her Obi-wan we shouldn't give up hope on her. I know death of someone close to you is never easy perhaps both of us can help ease her pain" Shaak replied. Obi-wan nodded and followed the other Jedi master through the temple toward Ahsoka's room.
Shaak knocked on the door "Ahsoka?" she called, no response. Shaak waved her hand and the metal door slid opened and they both walked inside. Obi-wan went to look in Ahsoka's room while Shaak looked in Anakin's room. "She's not in her room" Obi-wan said walking out of Ahsoka's room toward Anakin's room.
When the door opened Obi-wan was met with a mixture of both Anakin's old force presence and Ahsoka's force presence. "She certainly has been spending a lot of time here" Obi-wan said looking around at the room. "Yes I know" Shaak replied as she picked up the holo picture of Anakin and Ahsoka.
"We need to find her Obi-wan" Shaak said placing the picture back on the desk. Obi-wan cast out his senses to find the young padawan, through his search in the temple he could not locate her. "She's not in the temple" he said after a moment, "Where could she have gone?" Shaak asked. "I don't know we should see if her fighter is still here" Obi-wan said as he and Shaak made their way out of the room toward the aircraft bay.
The two Jedi arrived at the aircraft bay and Obi-wan walked over to the flight logs of each one of the fighters, he typed in Ahsoka's fighter and it didn't pull up. "Her fighter is not here" Obi-wan said. "Where could she have gone?" Shaak asked. "I don't know" Obi-wan replied stoking his beard.
Ahsoka followed the Night Sisters through the foggy red surface of the planet to the Night Sisters home. "Why is it so important to find a dead Jedi" one of the sisters asked. Ahsoka ignored the Night Sister's question as she saw the massive structure that is the home of the sisters, she quickened her pace until she stood at the entrance. "What is it you seek child?" Mother Talzin asked as the met the Jedi at the entrance.
"My master's body, he was abandoned here when the Republic was forced to pull out" Ahsoka replied. "Ah yes Anakin Skywalker, he was here but no more" Talzin replied. "What do you mean he is not here!?" Ahsoka demanded, Talzin smiled and led the Jedi inside of the building.
Ahsoka followed the witch inside and a massive stone door slid shut behind them. "You are grieving over your master" Talzin said. "You think! He was abandoned here left to die!" Ahsoka growled. "Yes your Jedi friend Obi-wan Kanobi no doubt had a hand in that" Talzin replied leading the girl to a table and motioned for her to take a seat.
"Master Kanobi wouldn't willing leave Anakin behind" Ahsoka protested. "Your confliction is evident child" Talzin replied. Ahsoka sat back in the chair and rubbed her temples letting out a slow breath. "What did you mean by he is no longer here?" Ahsoka asked. "Anakin Skywalker was collected by a bounty hunter by the name of Cad Bane" Talzin replied.
Ahsoka looked up, the way Talzin spoke her master's name was puzzling her, she never said his body; she referred to him as if he was still alive. "What happened to my master?" Ahsoka asked looking up at the women. "When the sisters found him, he was injured, barely alive. They tended to his wounds but before they could finish the healing ritual they were kill and Cad Bane took him" Talzin replied.
"My master he's alive?" Ahsoka asked as her breath quickened looking at the Night Sister's leader. "Yes but faintly" Talzin replied looking at the Jedi padawan. "Where! Where is he!?" Ahsoka asked standing up pleading for answers. "I do not know where he was taken but I have heard whispers of where he may have been" Talzin replied. "Please tell me!" Ahsoka begged, her heart pounding violently.
"There is another bounty hunter by the name of Aurra Sing who Chad Bane has had many dealings with. Seek out her and you may yet find Cad Bane" Talzin replied. Ahsoka stood up with new purpose, she was determined to find her master and prove the Jedi were wrong to give up on him.
"Before you go child I have a gift for you. For aiding us in destroying the Separatists invaders" Talzin said. A green mist began to circulate around Ahsoka and she looked down as her arms began to burn like fire. Ahsoka watched as snake like serpents of green mist burned into her skin. "This will give you the strength and power to find you master" Talzin said.
"Thank you" Ahsoka said with out a seconds thought of the green misty serpents in both of her arms as she stood up and ran out of the building back to where Rex was at. Ahsoka was feeling a mixture of pure joy knowing that her master was still alive but also anger for the Jedi and Rex for giving up on Anakin.
"What do you mean she went to Dathomir?" Obi-wan asked looking at a holographic image of Admiral Yularen. "She said the council instructed her to aid Rex in the clean up of Dathomir" Yularen replied. "The council gave no such order, Ahsoka has been in such a bad emotional state she is barely able to function" Obi-wan replied bewildered. "I see sir, I will have her brought back to Corusant immediately" Yularen replied before ending the connection.
