Hello, everyone! I'm ready to go tonight, so we're getting the update done now, especially since I'm going to be busy tomorrow afternoon when I'd be able to post.

I really, really liked tonight's episode. AND I KNEW I'D CREATE A LOVE INTEREST FOR A CHARACTER AND THAT THE CANON WOULD GIVE ONE TO THEM TOO AND I'D REALLY LIKE IT. DANG IT. I won't say who, for spoilers sake, but DANG IT I REALLY LIKE IT AND IT'S SO CUTE AND IT'S LIKE THE FIRST CLONE ROMANCE EVER.

Ahem.

Anyway, I'm expecting the next three episodes to destroy me, so that will be fun.

RubenAssassinRose: I'm so glad! Tech is a great channel for me to connect with people with similar experiences. He's not completely my brand of autism, but I feel like I'm able to shape my experiences into something that fits more with his character.

SWNerd4Life: Nah, it's totally Mira. And geez, yeah, reddit can be overbearingly negative sometimes. It can be hard to find good, neutral discussion.

4thwallbreak: At least Wrecker's not there lol

CHRF: Oh, how interesting. Yes, I am aware that we haven't seen Gregor in a while. He hasn't had a place in the story since then. (and arguably he didn't really have a place originally, I just wanted to write him in) He probably did see his mom, but stayed in the army.

FireAndIce: Darn right she can swear! She probably knows more swears than Plo would like. (Anakin does not care. He taught her most of those swears) AND HECK YEAH THE BAD BATCH. I LOVE Jango as just really really wanting a kid and that being transferred to the clones.

ZabuzasGirl: I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I've got to stick to my schedule, otherwise I'll run out of material and won't have time to edit it!

RandomGuest: Obi Wan does later, I think. Did I write that? I can't remember lol. And yes, righteous judgement Anakin is amazing.

All right, today's chapter is going to be less happy than the Bad Batch episode!

Mando'a translations at the end!

ABSOLVED: CHAPTER 24

One of the nicest things about Lothal was that it was temperate. Otherwise, Ahsoka didn't know if she would have been able to spend the hours needed on the speederbike, scouring the landscape for any sign of the temple.

As the sun set on their third day of searching, Ahsoka could feel her patience wearing thin. She missed Yavin, she missed her men, and she missed her husband. But Lothal was not ready to yield its secrets.

"Tano to Kix." Ahsoka said into her comm as she, Aayla, and Caleb turned their speeders. "We're heading back now."

"Still nothing?" Kix's voice crackled.

"Yup." Ahsoka popped the 'p.' "How're things on your end?"

"No one's noticed we're clones yet." Kix said. "And the people are nice enough. Though I'm still not keen on having such a big population near the Jedi we're trying to protect."

"We'll know for sure when we find the temple." Ahsoka said. "I'll see you soon."

She clicked the comm off. They were heading back by a different way than they had come. They hadn't had to weave their way through these strange conical rocks on their way out.

A deep chime seemed to sound in Ahsoka's montrals. She hit the brakes on the speeder, aware that Aayla and Caleb had done the same. Together they looked to the horizon. Another cone of rock towered above the others. The air seemed to warp around the structure.

"I think we've found our temple." Ahsoka said.

That feeling grew stronger as they drew closer to it. It was similar to the feeling of the temple on Coruscant, but less- complacent. This temple was proud, and would not let the unworthy learn its secrets.

Aayla and Ahsoka raised their hands in tandem. Ahsoka wrapped her power around the outer shell of the temple, while Aayla manipulated the core. With an enormous grinding of stone, the entrance appeared.

Ahsoka released her hold.

Come, little one.

Ahsoka obeyed the call.

The entrance they had uncovered, which Ahsoka could sense was far from the only way they could have entered, led to a simple meditation room. Ahsoka sank to her knees, barely aware of Caleb and Aayla doing the same. She closed her eyes.

"Hello, my dear."

Ahsoka's eyes snapped back open and found herself not in the meditation room, but in the vast expanse of space.

She wasn't alone.

A tall man with long hair and a beard knelt in front of her. He was smiling at her. His form glowed with an ethereal blue.

"Master Qui Gon?" Ahsoka asked.

Qui Gon's smile widened.

"I must say it is a relief to finally be seen after all these years." He said.

"I don't understand." Ahsoka said. "I've felt where the dead go. It's too far away for me to sense those who have passed."

"It is because I am not entirely dead." Qui Gon said. "I was granted the opportunity to learn how to bind myself to the Force in a way that allows me to stay near the realm of the living."

Ahsoka stared at the long dead Master.

"Does that mean," She said slowly. "That you've been watching this whole time?"

"Yes." Qui Gon said. "We have even communed before."

Ahsoka blinked.

"When-"

But hazy memories came to her in that moment. Qui Gon's voice. Pain. A choice.

"You told me to stay." Ahsoka said slowly. "You told me I could save Anakin."

"You have." Qui Gon said. "And you have done so much more. The Daughter was wise in choosing you."

Ahsoka frowned. She didn't like to think of her time on Mortis. It was hazy in places and she always felt that something terrible had happened.

"I don't-" She started, and then she remembered.

Ahsoka brought a hand to her mouth and squeezed her eyes shut. The Son, screaming in her head. A fight with her master. The Son's laughter as he fled her body. Then, nothing.

She had died.

"I'm sorry, young one." Qui Gon said. "I did not mean to stir unpleasant memories."

"I just- hadn't realized I was so far gone." Ahsoka said. "I thought I had been badly injured and the Daughter helped heal me. I never thought-"

Ahsoka trailed off. What if it had failed? What would have happened to Anakin, to Rex, to her men?

"It does not do to dwell on the 'what ifs.'" Qui Gon said.

Ahsoka took a deep breath.

"You're right." She said. "There's a reason you're here."

"Yes." Qui Gon said. "This is not the place, Ahsoka. The Jedi will not be safe here."

Disappointment washed over Ahsoka.

"I see." She said. "Any hints to where we should look next?"

"Not as of yet." Qui Gon said. "The Force wishes you to find the right place for yourself."

"I understand." Ahsoka said. "Thank you, Master Qui Gon."

"It is my pleasure, Ahsoka." Qui Gon replied with a smile. "Tell your Master and Obi Wan to look for me in the Force."

"I will." Ahsoka said.

And then she opened her eyes, and she was back in the small meditation chamber.

Something's wrong. A voice rather like Qui Gon's whispered to her. Ahsoka looked around. Caleb and Aayla were right where she had left them. Caleb looked at peace. Aayla, on the other hand-

"Aayla!" Ahsoka said as she reached to shake her.

Aayla mumbled something, her brow furrowed. Caleb had come to his senses and scrambled to his feet.

"No!" Aayla cried. "No!"

"Aayla!" Ahsoka tried again, pulling on Aayla's mind with the Force.

Then she felt Dark eyes turn from Aayla to her.

Skywalker's padawan. An amused voice said in her head.

Ahsoka didn't quite recognize it, but it didn't matter. She threw up mental shields around herself and her companions, hiding them from the Dark Side user's view.

Hopefully it wasn't too late.

Aayla finally opened her eyes.

"What was that?" Ahsoka demanded. "Who was that?"

Aayla turned to Ahsoka, chest heaving and eyes wide.

"It was my master." She whispered.

"Kix, do you copy?" Ahsoka said into her comm the moment they left the temple.

"Commander?" Kix asked. "Where are you? We've been trying to get a hold of you for an hour!"

"You need to go and prep the ship to leave." Ahsoka said.

"Yes sir." Kix said immediately. "Do you need backup?"

"No." Ahsoka said. "We're fine. Keep an eye out for any incoming ships. Someone knows we're here."

"Acknowledged. Stay safe, sir."

Ahsoka stowed the comm and followed the others to their speeder bikes.

"Did you feel how near he was?" Ahsoka asked.

Aayla blinked at Ahsoka, her eyes dazed.

"Aayla!" Ahsoka said sharply.

"He- is near. Near enough to be a danger." Aayla said. "I do not know if we can leave the planet in time."

"Can't we have the clones fly the ship to us?" Caleb asked. "It should be faster that way."

"He is still too near." Aayla said. "It may be best if we hide."

"He'd be able to sense you." Ahsoka said. "We need to either run, or fight."

"If it's just him-" Caleb said. "Three against one?"

"He is not alone." Aayla said as she mounted her bike. "He has access to legions."

"He's with the Empire?" Ahsoka asked.

Aayla's brow furrowed.

"Perhaps."

"In any case, we need to go." Ahsoka said.

She glanced at Caleb. His eyes were wide and his breath was coming in short bursts.

"Is he with clones?" Caleb burst out.

"I don't know." Ahsoka said. "But we're going to get out."

She needed Caleb to not panic. If it had been during the war, she was sure she could rely on him. But the clones were no longer the source of strength for him that they had once been.

The next few hours of travel were silent, taut, and excruciating. Ahsoka watched Aayla, knowing that she was their best chance at knowing when Vos would arrive. They were still over an hour away from Lothal City when Aayla swerved ever so slightly and Ahsoka's comm went off.

"Commander!" Kix's voice was strained. "Imperial ships have arrived!"

"Go back to the Bridgers." Ahsoka ordered. "Don't be seen."

"Yessir!" Kix said, then he paused. "Sir, what will we do about Mira and the baby?"

Ahsoka went cold at the thought. She had been caught up in their own escape and hadn't considered the danger Mira and Ezra were in.

"Tell Mira that she needs to stay inside and to not use the Force if she can help it." Ahsoka said.

"Yessir." Kix said, though he sounded worried. "Be safe, sir."

Almost as soon as the comm clicked off, Ahsoka felt the Dark presence again.

"He's here."

Ahsoka only just caught Aayla's words over the rushing of the wind.

Ahsoka's mind raced. What if Vos began searching the town and found Ezra and Mira? Ahsoka clenched her fists on the speeder bike handles. She knew that they couldn't let that happen. They would need to bring the Bridgers with them. Lothal was no longer safe.

There were already white forms creating a perimeter around Lothal City as it came into view. The three stopped behind a knoll, out of sight.

"He'll have put out our descriptions." Ahsoka said.

"Not mine." Caleb said. "I don't think he sensed me."

Despite his calm words, he was still rigid with fear.

"It would be best if we avoided being seen in general." Ahsoka said.

They watched the perimeter for the next hour. The troopers didn't move. Ahsoka sighed and focused on the four nearest troopers. Her heart twisted as she felt one that was clearly a clone.

"Be ready to go." Ahsoka said. Then, she channeled a message across the stars.

Here's your warning, Rex.

She invited the Force into her next words.

"You see nothing out of the ordinary."

The Force soaked words left her lips and the troopers she had focused on stiffened.

At least she thought they did. The blood now leaking from her eyes marred her vision.

"Go!" She ordered and forced her now aching limbs to move.

The troopers didn't react as the three dashed past them. Ahsoka slumped against the wall as soon as they stopped in the first alley of the city.

"Ahsoka." Aayla said, her hand on Ahsoka's shoulder.

Ahsoka's mind was fuzzy. She tried to focus on her companions, but the Force was so loud.

"You rely too much on your enhanced abilities." Qui Gon's voice said, clearer than Aayla's concerned questions. "Be careful."

"I can save lives." Ahsoka mumbled. "I need to use them."

"Focus." Qui Gon chided. "Return to the physical realm."

Ahsoka sucked in a breath and remembered her body. She opened her eyes to find that Caleb was gone.

"What-" Ahsoka asked.

"Caleb has gone to get us cloaks." Aayla said. "Ahsoka, what happened to you?"

"Didn't Anakin tell you?" Ahsoka wished her voice was stronger.

"Some basics." Aayla said. "But I did not understand."

"I don't either." Ahsoka said.

She closed her eyes and tried to forget the pain spearing her. It was difficult.

Caleb returned within ten minutes.

"Here." He said, pale under the flush of exertion.

He handed them tan cloaks. Ahsoka used the edge of one to wipe her face before pulling it on.

The alleys and backways of Lothal City were interconnected. Ahsoka was relieved. They saw only one or two troopers and they were able to turn their visors away with the Force.

Still, Ahsoka was exhausted by the time they managed to get to the Bridgers'.

Caleb knocked carefully, and the door opened a crack. Ahsoka caught a glimpse of Ephraim's harried expression before the door opened completely.

"Commander!" She heard Kix's voice.

Ahsoka was only vaguely aware of his steady arms taking her from Aayla and Caleb.

"You have to be more careful, Commander." Kix said as he helped her to a seat. "Can you imagine what the Captain would do to me if you died under my watch?"

Ahsoka snorted and patted Kix's arm feebly.

"Get me a stim, Kix." She said. "And pain killers."

Kix was quiet for a moment.

"Sir, I'd advise that you not overtax your body further."

His refusal shocked her to awareness.

"We're not out of danger yet." Ahsoka said. "I need to be able to act."

Kix hesitated and Ahsoka felt a jab of annoyance.

"Am I going to have to order you?" She asked.

"Yes." Kix said. "Sir, we have two other Jedi. I'm sure we can get through this without your abilities."

"That's an order, trooper!" Ahsoka snapped.

Kix stiffened.

"As the chief medical officer, I outrank you." He said. "And I refuse."

"Kix!" Ahsoka said, struggling to sit up.

"How about this, Commander." Kix said, placing his hand on her shoulder to keep her down. "I'll keep a stim on hand as a precaution."

Anxiety jabbed at Ahsoka as she considered the prospect. But she recognized the look on Kix's face. The clones could be as stubborn as Anakin when they wanted to be. Unlike Anakin, they normally couldn't be wheedled out of it.

"Fine." Ahsoka mumbled.

Kix administered the pain killers. Having the pounding pains fade helped her focus. She became aware of the sound of angry voices, arguing.

"I will not abandon Lothal!" Mira was saying angrily. "The Empire is here now and we need to fight back!"

"Others can fight!" Aayla said. "You and your son are in great danger from the Empire."

"They haven't found us yet." Mira said. "My place is here."

"Then let us take Ezra." Caleb pleaded. "We can keep him safe."

"Can you?" Ephraim asked. "I'm sorry, but you came here looking for a safe haven. You are in as much danger as we are."

"My parents chose for me to stay." Mira said. "And I'll make the same choice for my son."

"Then we need to lead Vos away." Ahsoka croaked.

She felt all eyes on her.

"He'll have felt the Force being used here." Ahsoka said. "He has no reason to believe it wasn't us. He needs to see us leave, so that he leaves the planet."

Ahsoka could feel Aayla's discomfort at the idea.

"Kix, give them the secure frequency." Ahsoka said. "Let us know if you ever need assistance."

She struggled to sit up and looked at her companions.

"Thank you." She said to Mira. "And may the Force be with you. But we need to go now, before anyone sees us with you."

Mira walked over to Ahsoka and took her hand.

"May the Force be with you." Mira said quietly. "And good luck."

Each step jolted a wave of pain through Ahsoka's skull. The pain relievers hadn't lasted as long as they should have. That probably had to do with Ahsoka straining her senses as she and her squad made their way through the back alleys of Lothal City. She could feel Kix's eyes on her. She sometimes wondered if he was Force sensitive, but only in regards to others' injuries.

There was a surprising lack of troopers in these back alleyways. Ahsoka would have thought they would be the first place the Empire would check.

The problem came when they neared the docking bay that held their shuttle. They would have to cross the market street to get there. That market street was currently where a majority of the troopers were, as well as-

Ahsoka shuddered at the sight of the tall, dark figure that stalked nearby. Aayla was shaking next to her. Darkness was seeping into the air around them. Though the figure wore an angular helmet, Ahsoka knew who it was. Vos.

"He needs to sense us." Ahsoka said quietly.

Aayla nodded, her eyes squeezed shut.

"Grey, Kix, Axel." She said. "Go now, while they are not alerted to us."

The three clones glanced at one another.

"No, sir." Grey said quietly.

"You need my help with Commander Tano." Kix said.

"I swore to Bly that I would make sure you were okay." Axel said.

Ahsoka grit her teeth at their stubbornness. This was going to be difficult enough without having to get six people across the street unnoticed, at the same time.

Ahsoka noticed that Caleb was focusing on something in the distance. She tried to follow his gaze, but only saw a large stack of crates behind one of the vendors.

"We go on my mark." Caleb said, raising his hand slightly.

He gestured, and the stack of crates toppled over.

The troopers in the street jumped at the noise. Almost immediately a majority of them rushed the stall to investigate.

Ahsoka and the others made their move. With Kix's help, she dashed out into the open. There were shouts as they ran, cries of alarm. Grey and Axel shot as they ran, felling the few troopers left behind.

Ahsoka's heart leapt as they neared the entrance to their docking bay. Could it really have gone so smoothly?

Caleb cried out and Ahsoka looked around. Grey was frozen, one arm wrenched out behind him as if someone was yanking it back.

Vos was standing there, hand outstretched. He'd removed his helmet. His long dreadlocks had been cut, the far shorter hair swept back. His eyes glowed yellow. Ahsoka cursed silently in Mando'a.

"Aayla." Vos said. "It's good to see you."

Aayla said nothing, staring wide eyed at Vos. Ahsoka could not imagine the pain of seeing her beloved Master Fallen.

"I see that you still favor these things." Vos said, jerking a clawed hand. There was a sickening pop and Grey gave a stifled cry of pain as his arm was wrenched out of its socket. "The war is over. There's no need for them."

Ahsoka looked around frantically. The troopers were returning and were surrounding them at a distance. They couldn't leave Grey, not only for the clone's sake. Ahsoka knew that Caleb would refuse to leave without him. She couldn't fault him for that.

"What happened, Master?" Aayla finally asked. She sounded so young. "How could this have happened?"

Vos' placid face twitched with emotion.

"They took my love." He said. "I'm assuming that clone wretch you bedded is still alive. Otherwise you'd be here at my side."

Aayla straightened.

"No." She said. "Even if I were to lose Bly, I would not turn. I could not become something he could not recognize."

Aayla's voice was surprisingly even.

"You are not my Master." She said. "You are something far lesser than anything he could be."

The simmering anger behind Vos' yellow eyes burst into a scream of rage.

Caleb shouted as Grey was jerked backwards. Ahsoka tried to move, but her body betrayed her-

Vos slashed once with a blood red blade, shearing through Grey's arm. Grey screamed as his severed limb landed in the dirt with a dull thud.

"No!" Caleb cried out.

Grey collapsed and Vos stepped over him. He raised his saber.

"Come with me, or the clone dies."

He gestured and the troopers surrounding them raised their weapons.

"Actually, or you all die."

"Kix." Ahsoka said.

To her eternal relief he did not argue, merely subtly shifted to stick her with a stim.

"Five." Vos said.

Ahsoka grit her teeth, waiting for the rush of clarity.

"Four."

Caleb ignited his lightsaber.

"Three."

Aayla did the same.

"Two."

It hit Ahsoka, a wave of lucidity and energy.

"One."

She took a deep breath and ignored her pulsing headache.

"Fire!"

The troopers fired. Ahsoka caught the blaster bolts. For a moment she stood, excruciating pain streaking through her body, and the dozen red bolts fuzzing in place. She burned as she twisted those bolts in the air to point at Vos. She saw his eyes widen as she released them.

The agony of her body overwhelmed her and she knew no more.

"Rex!"

Rex barely heard Fives' call as he knelt in the dirt of the practice ground. He dug his fingers into his head.

Ahsoka.

Even from planets away, Rex had felt the nova Ahsoka had forced herself through. Just as painful was the empty space in his head where she should have been.

"Is it Ahsoka?" Fives asked. "Is she all right?"

"I don't know." Rex said through gritted teeth. "I don't know."

He wanted to move, to scream, to do anything other than sit here and do nothing as he felt his wife seem to shatter. He had felt her fade from him earlier, but she had warned him, it had been normal. She had never tried to reproduce an effort like that so soon after the first.

"What are you all looking at?" Rex heard Fives bark. "Get back to training!"

Then he felt a hand on his back.

"Come on, vod." Fives said. "It's not time."

Rex took a deep, shuddering breath. Fives was right. Like all grief and pain during the war, he would delay this until it was appropriate to feel.

Rex got to his feet and saw that there were still some recruits staring at him. He scowled at them. He tried to reprimand them, but the words caught in his throat.

"You heard me!" Fives snapped as Rex struggled. "Finish those sets!"

They went back to the exercises Rex had assigned them. Rex tried to straighten, look like the Captain he needed to be, but all he could do was place a shaking hand to his mouth.

"Rex." Fives said, still concerned. "Maybe you should go talk to General Skywalker."

Rex stared at Fives, his head spinning.

"I- I can't- the recruits-" He managed.

"Let me rephrase something." Fives said. "Go see General Skywalker. This seems worse than normal."

Rex felt himself nodding. Yes. Yes, that made sense. General Skywalker would know more.

"Listen up!" He heard Fives bark. "The rest of today's session will be supervised by me!"

Rex didn't wait for a response as he turned and began his walk back to the temples. He could feel the recruits' untrusting eyes on him. He tramped through the jungle between the practice grounds and the temples. He resented the difficult terrain as it slowed his search for answers. Rex froze as the sounds coming from the jungle alerted him that he was not alone. He placed a hand on his DCs, tense until he saw Wolffe come grumbling through the foliage.

"There you are." Wolffe said. "General Plo wants to talk to you."

Cold terror constricted Rex's heart.

"Is it about Ahsoka?" Rex demanded.

Wolffe's hesitation warped the fear already shredding Rex.

"Is she alive?" Rex asked.

"He didn't say." Wolffe said. "Just- come on. General Plo will know more."

Rex followed Wolffe eagerly. It wasn't long before they came to the cleared grasslands around the temples. Wolffe led Rex to the smaller temple that the Jedi inhabited. General Plo was waiting for them in the doorway. General Skywalker and Kenobi were there too. They were pale.

"She's alive, Rex." General Skywalker said as soon as he saw him.

Rex sucked in a sharp breath. Alive. She was alive.

But-

"What happened?" Rex demanded. "She warned me for the first one, but the second-"

"We do not know." General Plo said. His voice was tired. "She is alive and stable, we believe, but we know little else."

Rex immediately strained at his silent bond, desperate for any more information. He thought he felt a distant pulse of something, but nothing definite.

"What do we do?" He asked. "Is there anything we can do?"

He hated the looks on the three Generals' faces.

"Not now." General Kenobi finally said. "But we thought it best to give you some peace of mind."

Peace of mind? Rex nearly gave a hysterical laugh at that. Instead he straightened and nodded to the Generals.

"Thank you." He said. "Keep me updated, if you can."

"We will." General Skywalker said.

Rex hadn't had time to return to the training ground before his comm chirped.

"Rex, we've gotten a communication from Aayla." General Skywalker said. "The Imperials found them on Lothal. Ahsoka got them out by using her abilities. They're on their way back now."

"How is she?" Rex demanded. "I still can't feel her."

"Unconscious." General Skywalker said flatly. "And- she stopped breathing."

Not again. Rex thought numbly. Please, not again.

"They have a ventilator on board, so she's not in danger." General Skywalker said. "Kix can only do so much right now. Grey lost an arm."

The words slapped Rex. Grey lost an arm? What happened?

It didn't matter right now. Rex could do nothing to help from where he was. He would push the terror and grief away for now. He would be Captain Rex.

He was so tired of being Captain Rex.

The moment Ahsoka's shuttle touched down, Rex was there. He'd managed to keep training the cadets for the last few hours, but he'd counted down the minutes until he could expect them to arrive.

He could feel her again, but barely. He waited with a squad of medics as the shuttle's door opened. He forced himself to stand still as the medics rushed in.

First they brought out Grey. Rex felt sick as he stared at his brother's injury. Grey was pale and Rex could see that he was barely walking under his own power. Commander Dume was right there at his side, Grey's remaining arm slung over his shoulder. The boy's face was stricken.

General Aayla and Axel were next, both bearing blaster wounds.

Finally they brought out his Ahsoka, lying limp on a hover stretcher. Kix had his hand on her shoulder, though Rex could see that he was limping. The medic caught Rex's gaze and nodded. Rex hurried to Ahsoka's side. She had a tube shoved down her throat that Rex recognized. He'd had to endure a ventilator for a short time after the disastrous surgery on his leg.

Rex reached out and touched Ahsoka's cheek.

"Has she woken up?" He asked.

"No." Kix said. He sounded haggard. "But she's as stable as she can be."

Ahsoka. Rex called in his mind. Ner 'Soka, you're home.

To Rex's surprise, her voice came floating back to him.

Home?

Yes, 'Soka. Rex sent. Back on Yavin. With me.

With you? Who are you?

Rex stopped in his tracks, letting Kix and the other medics take Ahsoka away.

Ahsoka. He said. His heart was breaking. Ahsoka. It's Rex.

Rex.

He heard recognition in her voice and he nearly fell to his knees with relief.

Yes, it's me. He said. Cyare, please come back to us.

Silence. And then-

I'm tired, Rex.

Then rest. Rex said. And recover. I'll be there when you wake.

Mando'a:

Ner 'Soka: My 'Soka

Cyare: beloved

From the top!

I like the idea that the Force on Lothal just is way less nice than on Coruscant. Coruscant's temple is just like 'hey man, come on in, have a seat' and Lothal is like 'there better be two of you, you better be worthy, and you better hope that I choose the right hole to shove you in.'

Hey Qui Gon, what's up? Obi Wan and Anakin would probably like to see you. Reminder: Qui Gon spoke to Ahsoka when she nearly killed herself saving Tup from the chip. In case you don't remember from literally tens of chapters ago.

So uh, Quinlan Vos is an Inquisitor now. Parts of Dark Disciple still happened (I um never actually read it but that isn't relevant at the moment)

I love having Ahsoka be OP. I was writing something for Fives Effect and I was like AND THEN AHSOKA DID THIS MIRACULOUS THING and then I remember she is NOT practically a Force goddess in that fic.

Kix be like PLEASE STOP USING DRUGS TO FORCE YOURSELF CLOSER TO DEATH

Ahsoka be like no

I feel like it makes sense for Mira and Ephraim to want to keep Ezra. The Jedi are outlaws and it'll be honestly easier to keep him under the radar. I mean, he escapes notice for a long time on Lothal in Rebels. It'll be fine. Caleb is totally coming back for your son tho guys.

Oh dear, what happened to Ventress? And also sorry Grey, but I need consequences and legit losing limbs is apparently my favorite way to go. Dude though imagine being able to catch blaster bolts and redirect them? That needs to happen in canon.

Having your wife practically blow up in your head is not helpful when you are trying to teach.

And um maybe stop doing insane things with the Force Ahsoka it is clearly not good for your health. Don't worry, no long term amnesia. It's just to show how disconnected she's getting when she forces it too much.

I think that's all!

Stay safe, remember to review, and have a good week!
