I don't own Star Wars or its characters, but I only own Nadia Aomori, her family and my other OCs.

Chapter 3: The Battle for Christophsis
In the Jedi Temple…
A fourteen year old girl with black raven coloured hair was sitting down quietly in the room of the Temple.
Her ruby red eyes were closed as she was reaching out in the Force.
It was Nadia.
She was in the middle of meditating in order to relax and connect peacefully with the Force while reminding herself the Corellian Jedi Code.
"Anger leads to Chaos, but True Love is Harmony."Nadia murmured quietly under her breath. "There is no Death, there is the Force."
It has now been four years since she has been in the Jedi Temple in Coruscant.
With Ahsoka and Ferus' help, Nadia became a person with a cheerfully high spirit and was a little bit shy a few times. But also was becoming more open and no longer hiding away from others.
However, there was still the grief and pain of losing her family within her which will never go away and always will be with her.
The door then slid open behind her and Nadia allowed herself to smile.
She rose from her spot to look and bow at the newcomer.
"Good morning, Master Yoda."Nadia greeted.
"Time it is, young Nadia."Yoda announced.
"Are you certain, Master Yoda?"Nadia asked with an unsure look. "I believe I need more time."
Master Yoda shook his head and smiled at the young girl.
"Ready you are, young one."Yoda declared. "Not necessary is the self doubt you feel and not alone you will be for being joined by your best friend you will be."
Nadia smiled. "I guess this means you think Ahsoka is ready as much as I am."
A silent message passed between them as their eyes locked.
Nadia simply nodded as she followed obediently behind the Jedi Master.
"If I am to be a Padawan, who shall be my Master?"Nadia asked, brimming with curiosity, but careful not to show it. "Is it someone I know or haven't met yet?"
Master Yoda smiled once again, easily able to tell the young girl was excited.
"Patience, young one."Yoda reminded. "Find out soon, you will."
Meanwhile in the planet Christophsis...
Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his former Master Obi-Wan Kenobi led a small Republic clone army against a Separatist droid army under the command of General Whorm Loathsom that was forced to retreat as a shuttle flew by and landed not far from where the two war heroes were.
The two Generals had sent Admiral Yularen to a Republic medical station to pickup reinforcements since their men were outnumbered and the weapons depot was destroyed by a traitor in their own ranks.
"Looks like help has arrived."Obi-Wan commented. "Admiral Yularen must be back."
"Which means we'll be able to get our reinforcements."Anakin said.
"Then it looks like our problems are solved."Obi-Wan remarked. "Fresh troops, new supplies and perhaps they brought my new Padawan with them."
"You really think it's a good idea to bring a Padawan learner into all this?"Anakin questioned.
"I spoke to Master Yoda about it, you should put in a request for one."Obi-Wan suggested. "You'd make a good teacher."
Anakin chuckled. "No thanks, Obi-Wan."
"Anakin, teaching is a privilege."Obi-Wan explained. "And it's part of a Jedi's responsibility to help train the next generation."
"A Padawan will just slow me down."Anakin stated with a small smirk. "I do think it will be good for you to have another apprentice since I won't be there to save you all the time."
A frown appeared on Obi-Wan's face.
When the shuttle's ramp came down, two younglings walked out the ship.
One was a female torguta and the other was a human girl.
The togruta had orange skin and had markings on either cheek that resembled an arrow pointing towards her high cheek bones. She had lines that arced above her blue eyes and met in the middle, spiking upwards in a small diamond before meeting and molding into her white and blue lekku. She also had two moderately sized white diamonds on her forehead a couple inches above her eyes.
The human girl had raven black hair that was loose and went down her shoulders, ruby red eyes and pale skin. She wore a mid sleeve coral pink shirt with a light oxblood skirt, red leggings and dark brown boots. There was a pink wristband on her left wrist and her lightsaber was attached on her waist.
Surprised looks appeared in Obi-Wan and Anakin's faces.
"Younglings?"Obi-Wan asked.
Artoo beeped in respond.
"And who are you two supposed to be?"Anakin questioned.
"I'm Ahsoka."the torguta replied.
"And I'm Nadia."the human girl answered. "Master Yoda sent us."
"We were told to tell both of you that you must get back to the Jedi Temple immediately."Ahsoka informed. "There's an emergency."
"Well, I don't know if you two have noticed, but we're in a bit of an emergency right here."Anakin declared.
"Yes."Obi-Wan agreed. "Our communications have been a bit unreliable, but we've been calling for help."
"Master Yoda hadn't heard from you so he sent us to deliver the message."Nadia commented.
"Oh, great."Anakin muttered. "They don't even know we're in trouble."
"Maybe you can relay a signal through the Star Destroyer that just dropped us off."Ahsoka assumed.
A while later, the two Jedi and the two younglings went to the communication sector.
"We're under attack by Separatist warships, but I'll try to make contact with Master Yoda for you."the Commander stated. "Stand by."
Then a hologram of Master Yoda appeared.
"Master Kenobi, glad Ahsoka and Nadia found you, I am."Yoda commented.
"Master Yoda, we are trapped here and vastly outnumbered."Obi-Wan stated. "We are in no position to go anywhere or do anything. Our weapons and support ships have all been destroyed because Slick betrayed us to work for Ventress."
"Send reinforcements to you, we will."Yoda replied.
But then the signal became weaker and the hologram of Yoda started fuzzing.
"Master Yoda?"Obi-Wan asked. "Master Yoda?"
Then the hologram of Master Yoda disappeared and then the hologram of the Commander reappeared.
"More enemy ships have just arrived."the Commander reported. "We'll get back to you as soon as we can."
Then the hologram vanished.
"Well, I guess we'll have to hold out a little longer."Anakin assumed.
Nadia and Ahsoka glanced at each other before Obi-Wan brought his attention on them.
"My apologies, young ones."Obi-Wan apologised, looking at the two girls. "It's time for a proper introduction."
The Jedi Master took a few steps towards the young girls.
"We're the new Padawan learners."Ahsoka declared. "I'm Ahsoka Tano."
Nadia gave a sweet smile and bowed at the two Jedi.
"And I'm Nadia Aomori."Nadia remarked.
Obi-Wan smiled at Nadia.
"I'm Obi-Wan Kenobi, your new master."Obi-Wan declared.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Master Kenobi."Nadia chuckled.
"I'm at your service too, Master Kenobi."Ahsoka stated and then pointed to Anakin. "But I'm actually been assigned to Master Skywalker."
"What? No, no, no."Anakin retorted in disbelief. "There must be some mistake, he's the one who wanted the Padawan."
"No, Master Yoda was very specific."Ahsoka declared while folding her arms. "I'm assigned to Anakin Skywalker and he is to supervise my Jedi training."
"So I'm basically the one who's been assigned to Obi-Wan as his fellow Padawan."Nadia said with a small smile.
"But that doesn't make any sense."Anakin protested.
"We'll have to sort this out later."Obi-Wan insisted. "It won't be long before those droids figure out a way around our cannons."
"I'll check on Rex in the lookout post."Anakin stated.
"You'd better take Ahsoka with you."Obi-Wan suggested.
Ahsoka smiled and followed Anakin.
Nadia quietly giggled as she and Obi-Wan watched them go.
This should definitely be interesting.
Anakin and Ahsoka met up with Rex, who was the Captain of the 501st Legion of clone troopers.
"What's the status, Rex?"Anakin asked.
"Quiet for now, sir, they're gearing up for another assault."Rex said and then noticed Ahsoka. "Who's the youngling?"
"I'm Master Skywalker's Padawan."Ahsoka replied firmly. "The name's Ahsoka Tano."
Rex looked at Anakin.
"Sir, I thought you said you'd never have a Padawan."Rex stated.
"There's been a mix-up."Anakin responded. "The youngling isn't with me."
"Stop calling me that!"Ahsoka retorted and then smirked. "You're stuck with me, Skyguy."
"What did you just call me?"Anakin shot back as Rex laughed behind him. "Don't get snippy with me, little one. You know, I don't even think you're old enough to be a Padawan."
"Well, maybe I'm not."Ahsoka replied as a smile grew on her face. "But Master Yoda thinks I am."
"Well, you're not with Master Yoda now."Anakin declared. "So, if you're ready, you better start proving it. Captain Rex will show you how a little respect can go a long way."
"Right."Rex instructed. "Come on, youngling."
"Padawan."Ahsoka muttered.
Ahsoka followed Rex.
"Have you thought about moving that line back, Captain?"Ahsoka asked. "They'd have better cover that way."
"Thanks for the suggestion, but General Skywalker thinks they're fine where they are."Rex said.
"So, if you're a Clone Captain and I'm a Jedi Commander, then, technically, I outrank you, right?"Ahsoka questioned.
"In my book, experience outranks everything."Rex admiited.
"Well, if experience outranks everything, I guess I better start getting some."Ahsoka remarked.
Meanwhile...
Obi-Wan and Nadia kept looking out for the enemy, they notice something going on from the distance.
The duo could see a giant dome glowing, orange-red energy appeared on the other edge of the city.
"What's going on?"Nadia asked.
Looking through the electronic binoculars, Obi-Wan try to make sense of it.
He saw the giant dome headed their way and knew this situation took a turn for the worse.
"This isn't good."Obi-Wan commented. "Looks like they got an energy shield headed for us."
"I think it is the perfect time to strategies on how to deal with the situation."Nadia stated.
"Let's go discuss it with the others."Obi-Wan suggested.
Obi-Wan and Nadia left to discuss the situation they were in with everyone.
Afterwards...
Obi-Wan and Nadia meet up with Anakin, Rex and Ahsoka in the communication sector with Artoo.
They studied a large hologram map that showed the city's layout.
"The shield generator is somewhere in this area."Obi-Wan said. "They're slowly increasing the diameter, and keeping it just ahead of their troops."
"Heavy cannons are gonna be useless against that."Rex said.
"As they get closer, I suppose we could try to draw them into the buildings."Obi-Wan said. "That might level the playing field a bit."
Ahsoka and Nadia looked closer at the hologram.
"If that shield's gonna be such a problem, why don't we just take it out?"Ahsoka suggested.
"That's a pretty good idea."Nadia agreed with a smile.
"Easier said than done."Rex grumbled.
"Well, I, for one, agree with them."Anakin admitted. "Someone has to get to that shield generator and destroy it, that's the key."
Surprised looks appeared in Ahsoka's and Nadia's faces.
"Right, then."Obi-Wan said. "Maybe you two can tiptoe through the enemy lines and solve this particular problem together."
"Can do, Master Kenobi."Ahsoka answered.
"I'll decide what we do."Anakin stated.
This caused Ahsoka to glare at Anakin while Nadia bit her lip.
"If Rex, Nadia and I can engage them here."Obi-Wan said before glancing at Anakin and Ahsoka. "You two might have a chance to get through their lines undetected, here."
"They won't have much time."Rex declared. "The droids far outnumber us, so our ability to street fight is limited without the use of heavy cannons. They will march forward under the protection of their shield, until they are right on top of our cannons,then they'll blow them away."
"We'll figure out a way."Ahsoka said as she walked away. "Come on, Master. Let's go."
"If we survive this, Snips, you and I are gonna have a talk."Anakin warned coldly.
Anakin followed Ahsoka while Nadia couldn't help, but giggle at the sight.
Nadia gives Obi-Wan a bright smile.
"They make quite an interesting pair don't they, Master?"Nadia remarked. "Do you think they both have a chance?"
"They better, young one."Obi-Wan commented. "If they can't turn off that shield generator before it reaches the heavy cannons there'll be no escape for any of us."
Anakin and Ahsoka made their way through the rubble in the streets until they found a burned-out skyscraper with a good view of the shield.
Anakin held out his electronic binoculars.
In the distance, the droid army marched towards them, protected by the energy shield.
So, what's the plan?"Ahsoka asked eagerly.
Anakin lowered the binoculars.
"Oh, I thought you were the one with the plan."Anakin sneered.
"No, I'm the one with the enthusiasm."Ahsoka said. "You're the one with the experience, which I'm looking forward to learning from."
"Well, first, we need to get behind that shield, then get past their tank lines."Anakin suggested.
"Why don't we just go around?"Ahsoka asked. "Outflank them?"
"That'd take too long."Anakin replied.
"Sneak through the middle, then?"Ahsoka suggested.
"Impossible."Anakin complemented. "Unless you can turn yourself into a droid."
"Alright. You win."Ahsoka informed with a smile. "My first lesson will be to wait while you come up with the answer."
"Well, the wait's over."Anakin declared. "I've got a plan."
Back at the City Plaza...
Obi-Wan, Rex and Nadia stood near the Republic heavy cannons.
If anything could blast through the shield, it would be the heavy cannons.
Obi-Wan, Rex and Nadia watched, hopeful, as the fire from the cannons impacted the glowing shield, but the powerful blasts didn't damage the shield at all.
When the smoke cleared, the men saw an even more disturbing sight: a line of droid tanks rolling in behind the battle droids.
The tanks were armed with ion cannons as well as laser cannons, both easily capable of destroying the Republic's heavy cannons.
Obi-Wan sighed. "That shield is certainly putting a crimp in my day."
"We're getting nowhere with this."Nadia said nervously.
"Well, it was worth a try to see if we could blast through the shield."Obi-Wan admitted and looked at Rex. "Rex, tell the men to fall back."
While Obi-Wan, Nadia and the clone troopers retreated, Anakin and Ahsoka carried out the plan.
Anakin had spotted a lightweight piece of rubble that resembled a big trunk.
The duo crawled underneath it, and shuffled toward the shield on their hands and knees.
Anakin wore a pack around him which contained the explosive charges the trio need to complete their mission.
"This is a stupid plan!"Ahsoka retorted. "We should fight these guys, instead of just sneaking around!"
"Except for the fact that their deflective energy shield just passed over us."Anakin stated. "If you can't cross their lines, let their lines cross you."
"If you say so."Ahsoka replied.
Once the energy shield had passed over them and the droids marched passed them without being spotted.
Anakin and Ahsoka saw their chance and slide with the lightweight while the battle droids weren't looking.
Back on the battle-strewn streets...
Obi-Wan, Nadia and Rex watched the advancing droid army from the safety of the communication system.
The droid army advanced quickly. This time, super battle droids took the front lines.
The two Jedi and the Clone Captain continued to wait and saw the energy shield pass right over them.
"I suppose it's time to give our mechanical baddies a little lesson."Nadia sneered smugly.
The black haired girl took out her lightsaber.
"By little lesson, I assume you mean cutting them down." Obi-Wan quipped.
The Padawan girl smirked at Obi-Wan's joke.
Nadia activated her aqua lightsaber as Obi-Wan activated his blue lightsaber.
The Jedi and the young Padawan leaped into the fray and slashed off two battle droids with their lightsabers.
A couple of Clone Troopers joined in the battle against the droids.
Nadia did a back flip to take down the droids that were about to fire at Obi-Wan.
Rex and his clone soldiers continued blasting the droids.
The Clone Captain then noticed Obi-Wan and Nadia were no longer in sight.
"Where's the General and the Lieutenant?"Rex demanded.
Rex continued blasting at the droids.
"I don't know, sir!"A clone trooper replied.
"Fall back!"Rex ordered.
Rex and his clone troopers retreated back in the heavy cannons as Obi-Wan and Nadia continued fighting the battle droids.
"I think we made it past all of them, Master."Ahsoka informed. "We may pull this off yet."
"We still have a ways to go before we get to the generator station."Anakin admitted.
"Do we still need this thing?"Ahsoka asked. "I can't take it anymore, I have to stand up."
"You have got to be careful!"Anakin warned. "You never know what you're gonna run into."
Suddenly a destroyer droid were right in front of the duo, unrolling from their ball shape to unleash its twin blasters at the end of its arms.
"See what I mean?"Anakin scowled.
However, they knew it would be useless against destroyer droid.
Its built-in generators equipped the droid with a strong protective shield.
Anakin and Ahsoka quickly stepped backward as the droid began firing rapidly.
The duo activated their lightsabers against the destroyer droid.
"We can't beat its shield, run!"Anakin ordered.
"What?"Ahsoka said in surprise. "Jedi don't run!"
"I said run!"Anakin demanded.
Anakin and Ahsoka turned and ran down the street, deflecting laser bolts with their lightsabers as they ran.
Seeing their attacks failed, the droid transformed back into its wheel form and began rolling after them.
"Ahsoka, stop!"Anakin called out.
"Make up your mind!"Ahsoka shouted.
"I said stop!"Anakin snapped.
Seeing her chance, Ahsoka ignited her lightsaber and cut the droid in two.
Anakin slashed it as well as the droid exploded behind them.
"Good."Anakin retorted. "You take direction well."
Ahsoka frowned and followed Anakin.
Meanwhile...
Obi-Wan took down a droid that held a clone trooper that was held captive while Nadia slashed the droids and used the Force to threw one to another.
Rex and the clone troopers ran up to the two Jedi.
"They're right behind us, sir!"Rex shouted. "They wiped out most of my unit, we had to pull out of there."
Then an explosion was heard behind them and the trio went behind a broken shield.
"The shield has almost reached the heavy cannons."Obi-Wan said.
The clones continued firing at the droids and the shield, but it weren't doing any damage.
"We're not gonna be able to stop them, sir."Rex stated.
"Move your troops back to the heavy cannons."Obi-Wan ordered. "Do everything you can to protect them, I'll delay the droids."
"But…"Rex protested.
"That is an order, Captain!"Obi-Wan said strictly.
Rex nodded and went off.
Nadia quickly took a droid that was about to attack Obi-Wan and looked at him.
"What about me, Master?"Nadia asked.
Obi-Wan placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Same thing for you, Nadia."Obi-Wan declared.
Nadia gave her Master a small smile and nodded before following Rex.
She didn't want to leave Obi-Wan at the mercy of the entire droid army, but she did as she was told.
Rex, Nadia and the clones retreated as Obi-Wan fought the droids by himself.
Meanwhile Anakin and Ahsoka made their way to the building, where the shield generator was.
"There it is."Ahsoka remarked. "Come on."
Obi-Wan continued fighting the droids until they surrounded him.
"You must be the infamous General Kenobi."General Loathsom said.
"I surrender."Obi-Wan stated.
A droid took away Obi-Wan's lightsaber.
"Now, Master Kenobi, order your troops to stand down."General Loathsom ordered.
Obi-Wan used the Force to pick up a table that had been overturned by the explosions and set it upright.
"General, have a seat."Obi-Wan insisted.
"Have you gone mad?"General Loathsom asked.
"We've conceded the battle and now we simply must negotiate the terms of surrender."Obi-Wan said.
"Don't try any of your tricks, Jedi."General Loathsom growled.
"Surely there's no reason we can't be civilized about this."Obi-Wan commented. "Tis a rare honor to be able to meet one's opponent face-to-face, you're a legend throughout the Inner Core."
General Loathsom went out of his battle tank and went to meet up with Obi-Wan as a droid followed behind him.
"Thank you, the honor is all mine."General Loathsom stated. "I'm so glad you decided to surrender."
"Well, at some point, one must accept the reality of the situation."Obi-Wan said and cleared his throat. "Might we have some refreshments?"
General Loathsom looked at his droid.
"You!"General Loathsom snapped. "Bring us something liquid!"
The droid beeped and walked off.
"Thank you."Obi-Wan said with a smile. "This shouldn't take long."
Meanwhile...
Anakin looked up at the shield, studying it.
A shield generator had been erected in the field's center.
"Stay close."Anakin said. "We've gotta be careful."
"Come on!"Ahsoka insisted.
Ahsoka started running forward.
"Wait!"Anakin shouted.
"Why?"Ahsoka asked as she continued running. "We're almost there. It's right..."
The female torguta didn't notice several antennae sticking up from the ground.
She stepped backward, and her right foot landed on one of the antennae.
A loud alarm went on and a hidden army of droids began to emerge from under the ground.
Ahsoka lit up her green lightsaber to help Anakin fight the battle droids.
"Forget about the droids!"Anakin shouted. "Set those charges!"
Ahsoka manage to dodge the retail droid and sliced off its head.
The droid rolled backward over another row of antennae on the field.
The motion awakened even more retail droids.
They broke through the ground and headed right for Anakin.
"Oops."Ahsoka retorted. "Sorry!"
"Whose side are you on, anyway?"Anakin scowled.
Anakin sliced through a droid with his lightsaber.
Meanwhile...
On the other side of the battlefield, the energy shield was getting closer and closer to the heavy cannons by the minute with the droids pushing their tanks behind the shield.
Most of Rex's unit had been taken out and had very few little of his men left.
Also, Nadia and Artoo were following behind them.
"Sir, General Kenobi have been captured."A Clone Trooper said. "There's no one else left."
"We've got to hold out!"Rex ordered. "We can't let that shield reach the cannons! Keep fighting!"
Rex knew he had to do everything he can in his power to last as long as they could until Anakin and Ahsoka destroy the shield generator.
He was determined to see through this to the end until they've achieved victory.
Meanwhile...
Anakin was surrounded by six retail droids.
"I could use a little help!"Anakin shouted.
"Skyguy, don't move!"Ahsoka stated.
"What?"Anakin snarled.
Ahsoka extended a hand toward the wall.
"No, no, no!"Anakin yelled out.
Ahsoka became one with the Force and focused all of her will on the wall.
It came crumbling down, crushing the retail droids below it.
The window had fallen right around Anakin, keeping him safe.
"You could have gotten me killed!"Anakin growled.
"I know what I'm doing."Ahsoka assured.
"I had everything under control."Anakin stated.
"I just saved your life."Ahsoka argued back while folding her arms.
Rex, Nadia and the remaining troops continued to hold back the droids, but the droids were coming to them too quickly.
"There's too many of them!"Rex shouted. "Fall back, fall back!"
A few of the Clones Troopers got shot down.
"Man down!"Nadia shouted. "Medic! We need a medic here!"
The raven haired girl quickly used her lightsaber to block the droids's blasts and attack them.
Meanwhile...
The servant droid had fetched General Loathsom and Obi-Wan tea to drink.
The General drank his tea quickly while Obi-Wan slowly sipped his tea's in a very proper manner.
"And, of course, once you've taken custody of my troops, arrangements will need to be made for their food and shelter."Obi-Wan suggested. "Tell me, do you have enough supplies..."
"Enough of this!"General Loathsom fumed, pounding a clawed fist on the table. "You are stalling!"
"Nonsense, General, there are numerous details to be discussed."Obi-Wan said.
General Loathsom growled and stood up, knocking the table to the side.
"Seize him!"General Loathsom ordered.
A battle droid grabbed Obi-Wan and lifted him from the ground.
"Unless you call off your troops right now, I will have no choice but to destroy you."General Loathsom threatened.
"Truthfully, I was hoping your shield would be knocked out by now."Obi-Wan said calmly.
"Did you get the charges set?"Anakin asked.
"Yes."Ahsoka replied.
"Then what are you waiting for?"Anakin asked while folding his arms.
Ahsoka nodded and pressed the detonator.
BANG!
The charges exploded at once, destroying the shield generator with one massive blast.
The red shield in the sky wiped out.
Obi-Wan and General Loathsom saw right before their eyes, the red colour of the shield fading away.
General Loathsom was shocked and confused, wondering what just happened.
"Oh, well."Obi-Wan remarked.
Obi-Wan flipped himself into the air, somersaulting over the super battle droids.
The Jedi Master landed behind them and then channeled the power of the force to smash the machines into each other.
Obi-Wan jumped behind General Loathsom and put his neck in a choke hold.
The droids got ready to fire.
"Don't fire!"General Loathsom shouted.
"Something appears to have happened to your shield, General."Obi-Wan informed with a smirk.
"All cannons, fire on those tanks!"Nadia ordered.
The Clone Troopers fired with their heavy cannons destroying the rest of the droid army and their tanks.
Artoo beeped happily at Nadia.
Nadia smiled. "I know, Artoo. They did it."
She then looked at the direction, where Anakin and Ahsoka were.
Obi-Wan heard his comdisc beeping and turned it on.
A hologram of Admiral Yularen appeared on the comdisc.
"General Kenobi, if you can hear me, we're through the blockade."Admiral Yularen announced. "The Separatist armada is in a full retreat, your reinforcements should be landing in a moment."
On the Other Side of the City...
Anakin and Ahsoka looked on to see the Republic cruisers and fighters landing from the distance where Obi-Wan would be.
Ahsoka sat down on the field and lowered her head.
Anakin went over and sat down next to Ahsoka.
"You're reckless, little one."Anakin stated. "You never would have made it as Obi-Wan's Padawan..."
A sad look appeared in Ahsoka's face.
"But you might make it as mine."Anakin finished.
Anakin and Ahsoka smiled at each other.
"Come on."Anakin insisted as a Jedi gunship landed near their position. "We better catch up with Obi-Wan and Nadia."
They walked on over to the gunship with Anakin and saw Rex onboard waiting up for the duo.
"Great job, General Skywalker."Rex praised and looked at Ahsoka. "You too, kid."
Ahsoka smiled at Rex.
When Nadia reached Yoda and Obi-Wan, she bowed at them while Obi-Wan nodded in respect to her.
"Master Kenobi."Yoda spoke up. "Difficulties you have had, capturing this planet with?"
Obi-Wan smiled wanly and glanced around them.
"I suppose you could say that."Obi-Wan stated.
"Another Padawan, you also have."Yoda responded. "Prepared, are you?"
"Yes, I'm ready to try teaching again."Obi-Wan answered and smiled at Nadia. "Nadia has already proven herself capable of working on the battlefield and off. It will be a pleasure to be her instructor."
Nadia smiled. "Thank you, Master."
"While I am pleased to be a Master once more, I'm afraid the same can't be said for Anakin."Obi-Wan exclaimed. "I understand that things are different now that we're in a war's campaign, but is it wise to give a Padawan to a Jedi who does not want one?"
Yoda hummed lowly.
"Foreseen, it was, that Ahsoka should be his Padawan."Yoda said. "A mistake though, if Skywalker is unwilling."
The musing were cut off when he sensed the return of the pair and looked up to see Anakin and Ahsoka approaching.
The two Jedi and the young Padawan spotted Anakin and Ahsoka on a gunship and landed on the loading ramp of a Jedi cruiser.
"Thanks for the ride, Rex."Anakin said.
"Anytime, sir."Rex replied.
"Master Yoda."Anakin greeted when he was close enough. "And Master Obi Wan. "
Yoda looked up at Obi Wan's former padawan.
"Trouble, you have, with your new Padawan, I hear."Yoda stated.
At Anakin's surprise, Obi-Wan drew the attention to himself.
"I was just explaining the situation to Master Yoda."Obi-Wan explained.
"If not ready for a padawan, are you, perhaps another, we could-"Yoda started.
"No wait just a minute."Anakin interrupted. "I'll admit that Ahsoka is a little…rough around the edge. But with a great deal of training and patience, she might amount to something."
Surprised looks appeared in Yoda's and Obi-Wan's faces as Ahsoka and Nadia smiled at Anakin's statement.
"Then go with you she will, to the Teth system."Yoda said.
"Teth? That's Wild Space."Anakin responded. "The droid army isn't even in that system."
"Kidnapped, Jabba the Hutt's son had been."Yoda explained.
"You want me to rescue Jabba's son?"Anakin asked in disbelief.
"Anakin."Obi-Wan spoke up. "We'll need the Hutt's allegiance and territory to give us an advantage over Count Dooku and Darth Sidious now that the Separatists have taken control over the major hyperspace lanes."
"Negotiate the treaty with Jabba, Obi-Wan will. Bring Young Aomori along, is a good idea, hmm?"Yoda questioned and looked between the two Jedi. "Find the renegades that hold Jabba's son, your mission will be, Skywalker."
Ahsoka smiled at Anakin.
"Come on, Master, it doesn't sound that hard."Ahsoka insisted. "I'll find Rex and get the troops organized."
"Don't worry, Anakin."Obi-Wan assured. "Just teach her everything I taught you and she'll turn out fine."
"You know, something makes me think this was your idea from the start."Anakin murmured.
Nadia waved at Anakin and Ahsoka as she watched the duo flew away in their gunship.
"Let's just hope Anakin is ready for this responsibility."Obi-Wan said.
"Ready he is, to teach an apprentice."Yoda commented. "To let go of his pupil, a greater challenge it will be."
Obi-Wan brought his comlink out to speak into it.
"Commander Cody, prepare my ship and one for my Padawan, we're both going on a trip to Tatooine."Obi-Wan ordered.
"Yes, sir."Cody replied.
Cody then ended the conversation as Obi-Wan looked at Nadia.
"Come along, young one."Obi-Wan instructed, gesturing Nadia to follow him. "There's work to be done."
"Yes, Master."Nadia answered with a hint of excitement.
The young girl bowed to Master Yoda before sprinting to catch up with Obi-Wan.
Obi Wan took her to the flyers where Commander Cody had not only gotten his ship ready, but managed to get a Delta-7 for Nadia.
It was dented and needed some extra paint but it would do for the time being until he could get her a 7B like his.
Obi-Wan and Nadia then thanked the Clone Commander before they went in their ships.
The engine thrummed to life under his experienced fingers.
