A/N note: Hey guys so this chapter gets a little odd when it gets to Ahsoka's vision but if you continue on with the book I promise it will all make sense later on. Okay? Okay. Without further a due, enjoy the chapter!

Ahsoka's pov

"WAKE UP EVERYBODY GET YOUR ASSES UP COME ON MOVE MOVE MOVE!!!" I bolted up, out of instinct I used the force to bring my two light sabers to me and activate them. I was so proud when I saw Omega was actually able to bring Wrecker's gun to her with the force. Once she caught it she dropped it because it hit her little soft hand too hard for but hey. It's better than getting trampled over by Hunter who was pacing around the room. So in other words she's doing better than Tech is.

"Alright Hunter what now?" Tech deadpanned. I turned to him shocked, both sabers still activated uneasily. What if he was so alert because there was an attacker on board or if there's some alien parasite crawling up peoples noses again!?

"Tech how can you say that with such ease!? Does this happen regularly!?"

"Every kriffing day." I shut my mouth and snorted when I heard that. Everyone knows Tech doesn't swear unless he feels reeeally strongly about something.

"GUYS THIS IS SERIOUS LOOK AT ME!!!" Hunter screamed down the row in everyone's 100% done faces. Omega looked horrified. I believe I now have detrimental hearing damage but we'll worry about that later.

"Well then what's the emergency that's so important you woke all of us up by screaming at 3 in the morning?"

"WE RAN OUT OF TOILET PAPER!!!"

"Oh my god." My jaw dropped.

"Your kidding, right? Right! Okay I'm going back to my much needed beauty sleep. Wake me up when Hunter starts making sense." Tech looked so exasperated at the whole ordeal Hunter put him through everyday. Hunter was wildly motioning back and forth between us with his stupid face just as horrified as Omega's.

"My apologies Ahsoka but you'll be sleeping for quite a long time." Tech said with fake sympathy.

"Hey.." Hunter said with real hurt. I rolled my eyes and pulled the blanket over my head as I plopped on the seat. Before I knew it sleep overtook me once again. I could hear voices but all I could see was pitch black. I could recognize all the voices in an instant.

"Ahsoka." Padme.

"Adi'ka." Fives.

"Soka." Kix.

"Cyare." Rex.

"Commander." Echo.

"Snips!" Anakin. Oh Anakin.

"You might not make it as Obi-wan's padawan..." oh no don't say it don't say it don't say it please don't kriffing say it-

"But you might make it as mine." And he said it. Suddenly I could open my eyes. I was still dreaming but it was more of a vision now too. I could see a mental picture of Anakin. There was nothing I wanted to do more in that moment then give him a hug. Force knows the man needs it. A thumping in my heart became more frequent as the picture of Anakin unblured itself.

"Master?"

"Ahsoka..."

"Master! Can you hear me?"

"Ahsoka..."

"Master? If you can hear me I want you to know..." There was an infinite amount of things I had to say to Anakin. Some anger filled thoughts, most with remorse but the thought of regret to ever meeting him was the first.

"To know you were wrong! Wrong about literally everything! I didn't make it as your padawan! I failed you! I-I'm a failure and so are you." A long moment of silence passed.

"Master? If your there please say something. Anything!" I cried out. I knew the truth. My master was no longer the Sky guy I once knew. But this small part inside of me just wouldn't accept that. Probably the same small part that wouldn't have changed a thing.

"Master. Talk to me! I-I need you now more than ever. I feel lost without you. I miss you so, so much. I need you!" I collapsed to my knees on the ground of nothingness below me. I couldn't even figure out where I was. I really am a failure in more ways than one. I sighed and let a light sob out.

"Ahsoka..." the third time I'm hearing it. I didn't give my hopes up though. The voice sounded so far away. Who knew I could be so close to someone so distant?

"Ahsoka... you were never a failure." My head jerked up and turned to see the one and only Anakin Skywalker in front of me. It wasn't some mental image of the last time I saw him my mind brought up to make me hate myself. This Anakin was the real deal.

"Master? Master!" How is this possible?

"Ahsoka... you were never a failure. I'm the one who failed you. And everyone else I ever cared for. You weren't just my student Ahsoka. You were my best friend, my sister. However, you're right." Uh oh. I think this is one of those very rare times I'm right but don't want to be.

"How so Anakin?" His name just rolled off my tongue in desperation. I never realized how much I needed him in the passengers seat to guide me, show me how to drive until he became a distant memory in the rear view mirror. Just like everything else in the galaxy. I was desperate to have what used to be the only stable thing in my life back into my life again despite knowing whoever or whatever is in charge of this forceforsaken universe will never be that kind to me.

"Where were you when I needed you?" I just stared at him. His face shifted from a calming expression to an angry one.

"I made a choice. I couldn't stay."

"Ahsoka... you were selfish."

"No." I breathed out heavily. I don't like where this conversation is going.

"Ahsoka... you abandoned me, but you didn't fail me. Do you know what I have become?" I clenched my eyes shut. The blue light began to glow red. A dark foggy red smoke began to invade my mind until all I could see was wildly flashing red lights until finally the flickering red light stopped and it was dark again. No smoke, no fog, no Anakin. It was all pitch black. I liked it this way but of course the peace only lasted a few seconds until the bright red glow came back, this time it didn't fade or flicker in and out. The red light and glow it emitted stood still and proud as it lit up my surroundings to reveal Anakin's comforting presence replaced with one of pure unbridled anger.

"No. No!" I activated a light saber and tried to pierce it right through the dark person holding the saber emitting the red glow, wanting desperately to put poor Anakin out of his misery. Being desperate doesn't get anyone anywhere though. It only makes people make un calculated and risky moves on a delicately balanced chess game. Thinking I could end the life of either my only brother or the monster in a mask was so foolish. Instead when I opened my eyes I realized I nearly cut Wrecker's arm off. I immediately deactivated the saber.

"Sorry big guy. I don't know what came over me." Lies. I know exactly what came over me. It's called the start of depression.

"I don't know either." He said. Typical. I patted his arm and walked over to a terrified Tech, Echo and Hunter who appeared to still be in a fighting stance of some sort.

"What happened?" Tech popped up an inquisitive eyebrow, Echo shrugged going back to laying on the floor but Hunter wasn't having. Oh Hunter wanted to get into this.

"You tell us! One second were talking about toilet paper then the next everything starts floating and you- you... I don't even know what happened to you. One minute you were sobbing then the next you were speaking calmly to someone I think named, Anagram?" Hunter was venting as he paced but Tech just held his dátalas up to récord us I assume.

"In conclusion, what the fuck." I could tell he was a 110% done. He is over worked not to mention freaked out by, his words, 'my jedi bantha shit' so yeah it's understandable. Not to mention the dudes got no toilet paper. Which is bad. Not 'wake people up at three in the morning cause I couldn't wipe my sorry ass' bad, but still pretty bad.

"I'm sorry Hunter. I didn't mean to make a mess of your ship. I'll clean it up right away." I said a little embarrassed about the state of the ship and still tired. According to him I made all the objects around us float so when I broke my inner connection with my mind everything stopped floating and fell to the ground. I went to start by picking up their amrour but I was stooped when I heard Tech speak.

"Don't fret about it Ahsoka. I will happily help clean all of the fallen items. Besides I highly prefer to organize specific items properly according to my terribly high standards anyway." I smiled at Tech and sat the piece of armour back down.

"Anyways all you missed while you were- ah, meditating? I don't know. Basically all you missed though was that were headed to Pantora to do certain things, mostly to pick up supplies. Toilet paper and... other items in particular." I squinted my eyes at his explanation. I wonder what other items he's referring too. Unfortunately for everyone Tech saw this. That sweet little nerd. That poor, naive, sweet little nerd.

"He is referring to fresh underwear and pa-"

"LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!!! I don't want to know that stuff Tech! Don't make me hear that stuff!"

"You will hear what I have to say!"

"Hard pass!" I started trying to walk away but Tech just followed suit.

"Stop running from me!"

"Like hell I will!"

"You can't escape me forever!"

"You'll never take me alive!" I screamed back, next thing I know I woke up in the copilot seat. An annoyed Tech staring back at me. I smiled sheepishly and felt a sharp pain in my neck. Probably from sleeping so lopsided in a chair.

"What happened?"

"You don't remember?" He asked. I shook my head no. He opened the door and pointed outside to a sleeping Wrecker, Hunter, Echo and Omega. He then shut the door and went back to adjusting controls on the ship. It was awkward silence to me but he didn't notice. I fidgeted with a small metal ball I took off the hyperspace lever when something beeped in the corner so I turned around to see a datapad with a red blinking light. I walked over to it but Tech was too busy occupying himself to notice. I took the datapad in my hands and examined it. I gasped and chuckled a little when I saw it was recording. I shut it off for him and backed out of the holorecorder app. I was about to set it down when something caught my eye. Was that... me? I pressed the icon and up came a shining picture of me in astoundingly awesome new armored clothes

"Tech what's this?" He scrambled over very dramatically to me and grabbed the datapad out of my hands with extra  ferocity.

"No touchie!" He hissed. That was the most unintelligent thing I've ever heard him say ever. I just looked at him funny. He sighed and got out of the childish state he was currently in.

"Apologies, Ahsoka. I'm used to having to put things into simpler terms for Wrecker to comprehend." I nodded slowly even though I knew Tech was just being dramatic. We both sat back in our seats and sighed at the same time. I chuckled and sighed again.

"So you never answered me. What was that odd picture of me for?" I asked again.

"Well I have started on some armour designs for you and Omega since you both are apart of our squad now. Want to look closer?" He asked. I nodded. He looked at the datapad then at me. He hesitantly handed it over and I clicked the same picture again. Wow. I looked like a total badass.

"Tech this is amazing. But how do you do it?"

"Couldn't be simpler. I took the footage of you, cleared out the background to make it transparent then-"

"Hold up. You filmed me?" I said in harsh tone but as quietly as possible. I don't want to be like Hunter and scream waking everybody up but this seems like something that seriously should've been run by me first.

"C-correct. I don't record just you though! I'm not a creep I swear! I record everything. It's a hobby I've gained over time." I left the picture of me and scrolled down the list to see a few videos that looked familiar. I clicked on the one that stuck out to me. It was taken from an angle behind me. I could clearly make out force pushing all of the storm troopers away on Salucami.

"Are you angry? I truly meant no disrespect-"

"I'm not mad Tech. Just wish you would've gotten my consent before recording me." He nodded but continued to stare at the holopad.

"Something wrong?" I asked him which snapped him out of his trance.

"No no I was just, uh I- I don't understand you. Or more precisely I don't understand the jedi and their all powerful force. It doesn't make scientifical sense." I just stared at him as he spoke. A lot of people who aren't as deeply connected to the force have a difficult time comprehending it's power.

"It's alright Tech I get it. Normal people can easily get confused by it."

"But that's just it! I am not normal! I am a highly trained, outstandingly ingenious super soldier! I should understand such things as simple as a mere energy source!" In mid rant he didn't even realize he stood up and was screaming in between my lekku. I gently grabbed his fore arms and sat him back in his seat.

"Calm down Tech. If this concerns you so much I can tell you about the force.
Better yet I think I know something that'll help even more." I searched up the website again that I used too refer to back in the day when I studied at the temple.

"Here." I handed it back to him. He looked at it with a straight face, as he does almost all the time.

"What is this peculiar holosite?" He asked. I chuckled and pointed to the top right corner where it had the logo. It had my face markings conbined with my old friends black diamonds tattoos she had on her cheeks.

"This is my holosite. When we were on leave and had nothing to do Bariss and I made it together. It has every adventure both of us had been on separately and together, old information about the old republic, as well as a full guide to everything we knew about the force. Which wasn't much back then but it'll get you sufficient knowledge if that's that's what you truly want." He nodded vigorously.

"Alrightie then. Read away." He didn't need to be told twice. I myself fell asleep immediately. Thankfully there was no Anakin or no confusing Darth Vader this time. Just peaceful and much needed rest filled sleep. It didn't last as long as I had hoped though I suppose when duty calls you can't just let it go to voicemail. A few hours maybe until the navicomputer started beeping. I groaned as my eyes fluttered open.

"Were here." I told Tech. He still didn't look away from the precious datapad.

"Tech. Were out of hyperspace we kinda need you for this part. Tech. Tech!" Still no response. He never looked up once from the article. I had to physically remove him from his chair to avoid floating aimlessly in space. I turned on the PA speaker system and spoke into it.

"Rise and shine people, we're here." I heard groans coming from the back room through the door. I pounded on the door and screamed

"NOT A WORD!!!" That shut em up real quick. I found a nice spaceport on the Navigator. Here we are. Pantora. I wonder if Senator Chuchi is still here. I doubt she is very supportive of this new Empire. She will always be too pure for that dystopian shit the Empire is selling. I docked at the spaceport and lowered the ramp. Ooh I know how to shake him awake.

"Techie bear. Wakey wakey, ration sticks and... eh. Just get up." I didn't even need to say more after 'Techie Bear'. Wrecker told me about Tech's one true weakness. Tech bolted up and glared daggers at me. If looks could kill not even beskar could save my sorry shebs.

"We've landed."

"Ah why'd you have to say we're low on rations. Now I'm hungry!" Wrecker bellowed as he exited the Marauder.

"Our priority is scrambling the ships signature key... and to get toilet paper." Hunter whispered the last part to me. It was like he knew I'd hit him in the back of the head for reminding me of the early wake up call.

"Heh. Your priorites. Soka and I are gonna go get rations! Right?" I was surprised at the use of my rare nickname. But I smiled nonetheless. That's what Kix, Jesse, and Harcase used to call me.

"Sorry big guy. I got my own shopping list. But for now I'll stay here and make sure you boys aren't swindled into giving away all our cash." They looked at each other then at me.

"Swindled?"

"Yes Wrecker. It means we have to pay more credits then we should." I explained but he was still a little fuzzy on it.

"Ahsoka I of all people would never have such a horrid scam pulled over me."

"We'll see in a minute. Here comes the swindler now." I backed away. If there's trouble I'll step in but first I want to watch Tech dig his own grave.

"Are you fellas here for repairs?" The old alien guy asked. I made myself invisible within the shadows of the curved roof hanging above my head.

"Just minor collaboration and fuel." He cleared his throat and motioned to the ship.

"Just gotta scan your ship first." I leaped out of the shadows and in front of Tech and Wrecker.

"You don't need to scan our ship."

"I don't need to scan your ship." He repeated as what can only be described as a deadly daze washed over him. He blinked rapidly and scratched his head. Wrecker and Tech were staring in awe at me. Before the daze faded away and he would notice me I hopped back in the shadows. Can't risk people seeing my rare weapons. I could have left my light sabers at the crash and people would think I'm dead but I figured what's the point in depriving myself of a birthright to those weapons? So I'm covering myself with an extra large robe and staying hidden.

"What was I saying?"

"You were saying that our ship scan was complete. And you were saying something about.." Tech trailed off. Already crashing and burning I see.

"Oh right! Payment." I scoffed. This guy isn't even helping us and he wants us to pay him. What a rip off. Tech be careful. Wrecker whispered something to Tech I couldn't hear. Tech took out almost all of our kriffing credits and placed it in that dudes hand. Like D U D E!!! WHAT THE HELL!!! I was more shocked to see Tech placing even more credits in this shady guys hand! Even more! You might as well give him the whole damn ship and sell Echo as a droid while your at it!

"Pleasure doing business with you." I groaned and hopped in front of the shady guy.

"You will give us back all our credits."

"I.. will give back all your credits." I smiled as he held them out and dropped them right into the palm of my hand.

"Thank you kind sir. You're right. It was a pleasure doing business with you." I caught up to Tech and Wrecker who were still staring at me in awe.

"See Tech. It's alright though. Everybody gets swindled once in awhile. Unfortunately it's the way of the hoodlums in this galaxy." My words didn't make him feel better. Why is it that everyday I sound a little bit more like Master Yoda? Or as Wrecker likes to call him, General Greenbean. Well I thought it was funny. Tech pouted as he went back to his force studies. Wrecker just cackled and punched me in the arm. To him it was probably light but to me I felt like I was falling sideways.

"If Hunter and Omega ever come out tell them I took the credits and I'm going on my own little shopping spree."

"Shopping spree for what exactly?" Tech asked.

"Patience Tech. Patience." Suddenly images of the past flashed through my mind. I could see, even hear myself screaming the same words at Anakin on the hunt for Cad Bane. Patience
