Taken to the Theater!

"Ahsoka, I am so sorry. About everything." Anakin said as he apologized to his Padawan.

She just gave him a small smile in return showing that she didn't hold what happened against him, and that she accepted his apology. After all, Anakin only did what he thought was right at the time. Next to Padme, her master had never believed even for a moment that she was guilty of killing Letta and bombing the temple. He even went out of his way to find the real culprit and presented that culprit to the entirety of the council and senate just as she was about to be, likely, given the death penalty.

Although, she sort of wish he hadn't. She still can't quite wrap her head around how her own best friend, Barriss Offee, had done and framed her for all of those terrible things.

"You have our most humble apologies, Little 'Soka." said Plo-Koon, snapping her out of her thoughts. "The council was wrong to accuse you."

"You have shown great strength and resilience in your efforts to prove your innocence." said Saesee Tiin.

"This is the true sign of a Jedi Knight." Ki-Adi Mundi added.

"This was actually your great trial. Now we see that. We understand that the Force works in mysterious ways," said Mace as Ahsoka crossed her arms. "And because of this trial you have become a greater Jedi than you would have otherwise."

The young Togruta woman remained silent. Were they seriously trying to shove such a load of Bantha poodoo down her throat at a time like this? Trying to pass her ordeal off as some kind of trial set up by the Force to make her stronger as a Jedi? She's no longer the naive young Padawan that she once was. She had already reached a conclusion just from listening to that garbage that Mace Windu had just spewed.

Barriss was right.

The Jedi truly have lost their way because of this war.

They're no longer the peacekeepers of the entire galaxy that they had been in the time of the Old Republic. Now, they were nothing more than warriors. Soldiers and generals fighting on the front lines instead of trying to resolve conflicts through diplomacy, drawing their Lightsabers only when needed.

It was a bitter pill to swallow and a difficult truth to accept, but Ahsoka had seen it with her own two eyes. And it both disillusioned and frightened her.

"Back into the order, you may come." Yoda offered, a hopeful smile on his elderly face.

The kindly Grandmaster's voice had once been a calm and welcoming sound to Ahsoka before this whole trial that she had to go through. But now his words sounded wooden and hollow. Like they no longer held any meaning to her.

"They're asking you back, Ahsoka." Anakin said.

Ahsoka watched with a heavy heart as he reached into his utility belt and pulled out something that she has cherished since she had first become Anakin's Padawan learner back on Christophsis. It was her silka beads. The very same string of beads that Tarkin's clone enforcer, Fox, had painfully yanked from her head when she had been expelled from the order and placed in the custody of the GAR.

"I'm asking you back…"

Ahsoka looked at the beads in Anakin's hand, and then she looked her master in the eye. He offered her a reassuring smile and urged her to take the beads. But she knew that she just couldn't. Not anymore. With a heavy heart and great reluctance, Ahsoka made the hardest choice she's ever had to make in her young life.

She reached up and gently closed Anakin's fist around the silka beads that once made up her Padawan braid. This action confused Anakin as well as the members of the council. Even the ever-stoic Mace Windu was understandably confused by this action. Why had she done this when they thought for sure that she'd jump at the chance to rejoin the order. It wasn't even ten seconds before they found out why.

"I'm sorry, Anakin… but I'm not coming back." said Ahsoka.

Every Jedi in the room was shocked and saddened by these words. And as Ahsoka walked out of the council chambers, no doubt on her way to leave the temple for good, it soon sunk in for the council that they drove away one of their own. They let their suspicions and a deep sense of paranoia cloud their judgment, and now they're paying the price for it.

"Ah, here you are!" exclaimed an echoing voice.

The gathered Jedi didn't have time to react as they were engulfed in a bright flash of light and vanished from the council chamber. And not just them, but also a certain pair of Zabrak brothers on the planet Mandalore, and a certain Senator of Naboo.

~Unknown Area…~

In a flash of light, all of those who had vanished from their respective planets found themselves in a place they had never seen before.

"What the heck?" gasped Anakin.

"Where are we now?" Ahsoka asked.

Obi-Wan looked around and immediately drew his Lightsaber as he said, "I don't know, but we have unwanted company."

The Jedi looked where Obi-Wan was glaring and found themselves staring at the former Sith Apprentice, Darth Maul, and his behemoth of a brother, Savage Opress. The two Nightbrothers looked just as confused as they all were, but quickly glared and ignited their own weapons as they saw the Jedi and their one senator.

"Kenobi." snarled Maul. "At long last… I had been hoping to lure you to Mandalore in order to finally kill you, but it would seem that the Force has brought me to you in an act of providence."

"But he is not alone, brother. This will not be an easy fight." Savage said as he got into a ready stance.

But Maul simply laughed and said, "I'd be insulted if this WAS an easy fight! My revenge would not nearly be as satisfying if Kenobi just decided to lay down and die, or if we did not overcome overwhelming odds just to kill him. Killing the Jedi council and their supposed Chosen One and his Padawan, plus one of the Republic's best senators, is merely a bonus."

"You had best give up now, Maul." Mace Windu said as he ignited his purple Lightsaber. "You and your dark apprentice are outnumbered."

"Ah, that's true. But you are clearly outmatched." Maul declared.

But before anyone could mount an assault, everyone's weapons suddenly vanished from their hands! And they were frozen in place! All anyone could do was move their eyes, blink, and breathe.

"Whew, that was a close one! It looks like I got here just in the nick of time!"

A large door opened up as a bright light illuminated the room. Everyone watched as a humanoid figure with green skin, red eyes, lime green markings running down the sides of its face, a white carapace with gems in various parts of its body, horns on its head, and a long, prehensile tail walked into the room.

"I knew that you Jedi and Sith didn't get along well, but I certainly had hoped you could at least be in the same room together for at least five minutes before trying to kill each other." he said.

The creature snapped his fingers, and everyone found themselves able to move again as they stumbled for a moment before regaining their balance.

"What is the meaning of this? Who are you, and where have you brought us?" Mace asked.

"Who, me? Well, my name is Frostbite. I'm what you might call an editor. We're beings who exist outside of your reality and watch over the various worlds that appear in the timeline. It's our job to guide the events of each world in our care and ensure that the flow of events remains on a steady course. As for the purpose of why I've brought you here, well, that too is quite simple. You're all here to watch the history of an ancestor belonging to one of your own, Jedi. Young Ahsoka Tano's earliest ancestor whose name has been lost to the sands of time due to the actions of a rather corrupt galactic republic."

"My ancestor?" Ahsoka asked.

"Hold up. How do we know you're telling the truth?" Anakin asked.

Frostbite chuckled and said, "I do not blame you for being suspicious, young Skywalker. But surely you must realize that if I wanted to do harm to any of you, I would have done so already. I simply took away your Lightsabers so that you wouldn't kill each other upon arrival like you tried to do. I don't allow killing or maiming in my theater!"

With a wave of his hand, the room was lit up and a movie theater room was revealed to the Jedi, Sith, and one Senator. It was set up in a more casual setting with plush couches and chairs, a loveseat, and a large TV screen like the ones used in actual movie theaters. Everyone seemed suspicious about Frostbite's intentions, and rightfully so, but they decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and walked into the theater room as Frostbite closed the door behind them after walking in.

"Okay, here's the deal. I have a seating arrangement for some of you, so when I call your name out go sit in your designated spot. Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala, you two are in the loveseat, Ahsoka, you've got the plush recliner next to Anakin. Obi-Wan, Shaak Ti, and Stass Allie, you three are on the couch next to Padme with Shaak Ti in the middle. Finally, Darth Maul and Savage Opress, you two will each sit in one of the plush armchairs next to the Jedi. Savage, you have the one made from the softer fabric, Maul, yours is the black leather one. Everyone else may sit wherever they wish." Frostbite instructed.

It only took about a minute for everyone to get seated before the lights began to dim. Frostbite smiled at them all as the screen lit up and he seemed to fade out of existence.

"Now, Jedi, Sith, and neutral parties… let the show begin." he said as he vanished completely.

And action that prompted Obi-Wan to say, "I've got a bad feeling about this."

"Well, I for one, am very interested to see just what kind of person Ahsoka's ancestor was. If they were around in the time of the Old Republic, they must have been very important." Anakin said as he ate a handful of popcorn. "Besides, Snips, your strength in the Force had to come from someone in your family tree."

"Where did you get that stuff, anyway?" Savage asked.

"Over there." Anakin said, pointing to a table as he took a sip of soda.

Everyone saw a rather large concession stand that held all sorts of snacks like popcorn, candy, soda pop, cookies, ice cream, and even bottled water for those who didn't want soda. Seeing as this viewing was probably going to be a long one, everyone got up and grabbed some snacks and drinks before retaking their seats and watching as the show began.

***To Be Continued…***

Ending A/N: I know the premise isn't anything special, but it was honestly the best I could do given my limited experience in writing stories like these. And as you can probably tell, this story will follow the events of my own original character that I created in the game, Star Wars: The Old Republic. This story won't be updated often since it takes a while to write down the events of the game in story format. But I hope you enjoy this story anyway!
