Ahsoka's pov
My head was litetally about to explode.
"Are we there yet?"
"No." Omega replied to an impatient Wrecker, again. You know whats even worse than having to shut him up? Having to sit next to him. Trust me on that one.
"Okay... are we there yet?" Wrecker asked yet again with a blank expression as if he didnt know what he was doing to us. Honestly maybe he doesn't.
"For the 18th time, no." Echo growled at him. I sighed with relief when Wrecker slowly shut his mouth. A moment passed. Perhals i xould finally get a blunk of sle-
"Are we there yet?" My eyes shot open. We all slowly inched our heads toward him again. I stood up abruptly whixh startled everyone and got all up in Wrecker's face which definitely startled him.
"Wrecker i swear to force if you say that one more time I will chuck you out the air lock. And I will enjoy it." He gulped. I smiled wickedly and sat back down in my seat. Finally peace and quiet. I shut my eyes qnd rested my head on top of Omega's.
"Are we there ye-"
"COME HERE YOU LITTLE PIECE OF-"
"AHSOKA!!!" My head snapped toward Echo who tried to hold me back but with only one arm failed miserably. Then Hunter tried to help. That's where it got interesting. I tried to protest physically and verbally but i was stopped both ways. Echo covered my mouth with his human hand whilr Hunter pinned me to the ground. Omega ushered Wrecker out of the room. Eh probably for the best. Once Wrecker was gone i calmed down. Hunter got off me and Echo let go. I took my former seat with a loud huff.
"Ahsoka what has gotten into you lately? Ever since Ilum you've been more moody and aggressive than usual. And I didn't think that was possible." Hunter half joked, half stated. He wasnt wrong. I have felt more connected and driven by my emotions which is exactly what the jedi taught me not to do.
"I don't know Hunter. I'm sorry okay. I am sorry. But i can't control it which is not ideal for a jedi. And there's yet another reason to go save Master Luminara. Once i save her perhaps she will train both me and Omega." Omeag camd back insid ewith Omega gave me a hug from the side. After a month of misery things are finally starting to go my way.
"ARE WE THERE YET!?!" Nevermind. I got up and tried to charge at the door Wrecker yelled from behind but Omega popped out and intercepted me.
"Calm down master. What you need is a good distraction." Omega winked, grabbed my qrista and led me back to my spot.
"Now Master, tell me. What's the plan when we reach the Spire?" I took a deep breath. I could feel my anger sinmering down.
"Okay. Tech will drop us all off at theyre only blind spot. Once were all off we break into two teams and Tech stays back to pilot the ship. Hunter you will take Echo and Wrecker to steal the Empire's riches while Omega and I free Luminara. We sneak up through the main lift. Thats our entrance as well as our exit. I want no screw ups. No surprises. No unwanted guests. And especially no sith lords. Think we can do it?" They all looked at each other then at me. Everybody looked uncertain except Omega. It was a long moment of silence before I huffed.
"Good enough for me. Tech you good in there?" I felt a small jolt. We must be coming out of hyperspace.
"Just peachy!" I rolled my eyes and ran to the cockpit. Before the doors shut I said one last command.
"Everybody suit up... oh and somebody let Wrecker out of the closet too." I heard Wrecker's groan come from the closet next door. I sat in the pilots seat and gave Tech a quick fist bump.
"You sure your cool with staying back on the ship?" I asked him. I sat back due to the turbulence we were experiencing.
"Are you kidding? I prefer staying on the ship. Master Unduli was never too fond of clones anyway." I looked at him funny. They have history with Luminara? Hunter never mentioned this to me. My thoughts were interrupted as we entered the atmosphere.
"Tech, work your magic." He nodded and pressed a series of buttons whoch successfully scrambled the Haboc Marauders ship signature.
"Good now go back woth them Ahsoka. I can handle it alone from here." I nodded got out of my seat and ran to the back.
"Lowering ramp, now." I slammed my fist into the bitton qnd a short siren went off as the staircase went down.
"Stay here." Were my parting words before I leaped onto the small platform. I landed in a dive roll then gracefully sprung up. Wow. Havent been on this mission for longer than a second and all my hopes just went up in flames. I was expecting two guard troopers, not 10! No matter. Youve handled way worse before Ahsoka. You can do this. My hands instantly reached for my light sabers only to fimd they weren't there. I internally groaned. Could this get any better?
"Commander, we have company on platform 6B. Jedi by the looks of her." I growled as the female death trooper in the front spoke into her com. I looked up to see the Havoc Marauder still hovering in it's place. I baremy teeth and balled my fists.
"Open fire." Every clone, or what I think are clones shot in unison. I held out my hands and held the shots completely still. A series of gasps and shrieks erupted form the troopers as i fired the shots back at them via force.
"Gotcha." There was a whoosh of air then a bright blue light lit up the platform. Omega smirked as she threw me my sabers and activated her long one. It felt good to have these in my hand again. I was about to start slicing theough the troolers but Omega pressed a button a flyng her saber out at the crowd of troiperd, decapitating them all instantaneously, all except one. The female death trooper ducked and luvoted toward me. I cut her blaster on half and force pushed her onto the wall. She grunted but fell to the ground in pain.
"Nice moves." Omega blushed and scratched the back of her head.
"I've been practicing."
"Clearly." We turned around to see the three boys already standing behind us.
"Bout time. Echo, plug in." Echo whirred his robotic hand and got to work on the locked door. Meanwhile Omega and I used the force to lift up all the bodies and throw them off the tower, yes the one who was still alive too. Qhen i hurled ghe last body over the side i heard a whooshing getting louder and louder. When i looked up i saw a familiar grey ship. A chill went down my spine. I knkw I've seen that ship before. But what is it? Or more importantly who is in it?
"You almost done there Echo?" Wrecker impatiently asked. I've just about had it with him. Wrecker's been acting differently lately. More frequent headaches and waaaay more moody. Kinda like me.
"Wait... there!" The door buzzed then was silenced by the door sliding open. I gave a slight nod of thanks to Echo even though no one else did. Omega gave him a side hug and ran back to catch up with me.
"Alright so far so good. Now all we have to do is just-" the alarm started blaring. I sighed deeply qnd gripped my light sabers again.
"Not. Get. Spotted. Oh well. Being spotted is more fun anyways." I charhed at the yroops marchingour way. Omega stayed back and blicked all of the shots for the boys while I obliterated the Empire's forces. I wile dout a platoon in 10 seconds flat. Maybe emotional trauma actually does help you improve your skills! Just like Fives always told me. Hunter groaned and slapped his helmet with his hand. It was like a facepalm but just... more Hunter.
"Ah great. Now they'll just keep coming." I deactivated my light sabers and gently placed them by my sides. I hymmed and rubbed my chin. Maybe actung luke Obi-wan will help me think like Obi-wan. I gasped which startled everyone.
"Bingo! New escape route! Instead of two groups, we spilt into three. Bam! Problem. Solved." They lal just looked at me confusedly.
"Um, what? You gonna send Omega off by her own now?"
"What!? Hell no Hunter! 1 I would never. 2 she's not only a padawan but still a child so that would just be cruel. And 3 I am way smarter than that. Wreckers the one going off on his own. In that lift over there. That's our new escape route!" The rest of them didn't seem as cheery as I was. But I am just happy were here.
"Sir yes sir." Echo replied galf seriously half playfully. A question sparked in my mind.
"Hey Echo?" He turned back around to look at me.
"Yes?"
"You wouldn't happen to know who was in that ship back there, would you?" I couldn't see his face because if the helmet he was wearing.
"I... its a surprise?" Echo chuckled nervously. I stared blankly at him trying to hide my mixed emotions. He is kidding, right?
"Echo I thought I said no screw ups and no surprises! Emphasis on, NO!"
"Trust me Adi'ka. Your gonna like this surprise... or at least I hope so." And with those final statements he dragged Hunter's arm amd ran off guns a' blazin. I growled and in a surge of anger I slashed the wall closest to me. Damn, that felt good.
"Why do i feel like thats gonna come back and haunt us later?"
"Eh lets just get going. Maybe if we hurry we can get out of here with minimal causalities." I shreiked and high fived her.
"Yes way to go Omega! Memorizing your vocab words, whoo!" Dont mind the fact she just killed 25 guys and is now worried about casualties. Yeah.
"Down this hall then we take a right and there should be a side lift there we can take all the way up to Luminara's level." Omega nodded to confirm. I broke out into a sprint. I heard her follow but just in case there was any trouble along the way i kept both my light sabers activated. Omega kept hers at the ready too.
"Right." I made the sharp turn. Omega stumbled a bit but overall managed to keep up. Her endurance has definitely improved. Just like all of her other skills.
"Dead ahead. Were nearly there." Two guards jumped out at us. I shreiked as one tackled me to the ground. Omega was to small to be tackled so the other guard sialed right over her head. He legit just died on a wall. Accidentally too! I struggled under the grip of ghe yrooper above me. I head butted him, and with my lekku that had to hurt. I broke my left wrist free qnd shoved him off. I stood up, stole his blaster, and shot him in the chest. I gagged and chucked the blqster down the hall.
"Ugh, so uncivilized." Omega looked at me funny qnd shook her head.
"Yeah yeah okay let's just keep moving." We both stepped into the slightly smaller lift and pressed floor section BB. We slowly descended. The closer we got the more pumped up I was.
"You okay master?" Omega asked. She probably sensed my anxiety and excitement.
"Yeah I'm fine. I'm better than fine actually. I don't know why I just have a good feeling about this mission... and there's something I've never said before." We both chuckled but the lift interrupted us by beeping. The doors swooshed open and what were we welcomed with? At least 50 troopers. All mixed. Some were regular clones, some were Commando clones, others had weird armour designs I've never seen before but the one who stuck out the most was the man in front. He wore no helmet. He had ridiculously short grey silverish hair and brown, emotionless eyes. But on his right eye was a large dark red Crosshair tatoo. Why does it seem so familiar?
"Seriously? Oh great another one. Who the hell are you!?" The grey haired one who I'm guessing was the Captain or Commander just glared at me.
"Aim for the togruta. Leave the kid to me." Everybody's blasters clicked in position. I stepped in front of Omega. More and more troops piled in. This is beginning to seem more and more damn near impossible by the second. I eyed my opponents, then the only exit.
"Omega, run."
"Wha-"
"Run!" She didn't listen. At the last possible second I force pushed her into the lift. Her teary eyes looked to me one last time. I loooked her in the eyes and mouthed
"I love you." Which only made her even sadder. As the door shut the first shot rang out. The first shot went straight through my heart. Wait no no no I'm kidding! He shot me in... the foot? I fell to one knee. Why didn't the Commander kill me? He hung his rifle over his shoulder and marched forward. I would never give him the satisfaction of seeing me in pain. Never happening buddy.
"Your lucky Lord Vader wants you alive." He may have shot me in the foot but worse has happened. I can suffer through this. He was inches away from my face. The only emotion he showed was coldness from the deep scowl on his face. Then it clicked. The attitude. The tatoo. The scowl...
"Crosshair?" He gasped slightly and stumbled back.
"H-how did you- what!?" Before I could process anything the last thing I saw was a large boot getting closer and closer to my face until it was pitch black.
Echo's pov
"Echo stuff as many credits as you can! I'll get the chaincodes and- ooh is that chocolate!?" I rolled my eyes. Hard to believe this was the man in charge here.
"Hunter."
"Yeah?" SLAPPPP!!!
"SNAP OUT OF IT!!!" Hunter rubbed his cheek and went back to the actual work. Oh god help us. Please (name shall remain anonymous for dramatic affect) please get here soon. I know Ahsoka needs you now. I just know it.
Wrecker's pov
I was watching the exit. It was unusually quiet. No siths or troopers or even maintenance workers. No one! Just as I thought it was quiet I heard screaning down the hall. Out came a small child running with tears running down her cheeks.
"Omega! What happned to you? Where's Ahsoka and Unduli?" Omega wiped her eyes.
"Crosshair's here. Amd he's after Ahsoka. She sacrificed herself to save me. Wrecker she could be dying and I couldn't help her!" She cried softly into my shoulder. It was hard seeing her like this knowing full well thanks to Echo's plan were all gonna be alright.
"Omega do you remember what Ahoska always says?" She pulled away and took a moment to think.
"This sucks?"
"Ye- wait no."
"Get back here you-" I slapped my hand as gently as possible over her mouth. Nobody wants to hear the rest of that. Nobody.
"No I mean what she always says about the forcie. Force? Forcie? Eh whatever close enough. She says that it connects all living things, can you feel Ahsoka still alive?" Omega took a breath and softly nodded.
"I can faintly read her force signature. But it's not as strong and bright like it usually is. It's clouded. I also sense something else. Another light side force user? I bet its that Unduli! Their close! Ahsoka and Unduli are together! I got to go Wrecker! Your a life saver." She gave me one last squeeze before sprinting off again the way she came. See that Wrecker. You can be smart sometimes... my god guarding the lift is so boring! But at least I don't have to actually get in the lift. That's something.
"
Ahsoka's pov
I groaned as I summmoned all the energy I had to open my eyes. I was in some sort of cell. That's when all my memories of the previous events flooded back. I moaned and groaned as I remembered Crosshair, the former bad batcher now Imperial Commander was here. Could be worse. Could be Vader. Actually now that I think of it Crosshair is probably calling Vader as we speak- er I mean think. I was startled by a sudden presence next to me I wasn't aware of. I gasped and scooted away.
"Master Luminara? Is it really you?" She looked so real. Although I had my doubts when she didn't respond. My hands instinctively went to my hips to get my light sabers but surprise surprise, they weren't there. I thought I said no surprises! No screw ups! Urgh! I kicked the wall and growled. Master Luminara was walking dazily. She now had my full attention.
"Master? You good?" She didn't listen again. Luminara walked into a tube thingy in the corner. When she froze, she literally froze. And aged. Oh that's it! Luminara was never really alive!? All of this was for nothing!?! Well today is not a good day for me. I got to get out of here. If they knew I was coming they probably are prepared to keep us, especially me here as well.
"Maybe if I can just..." I trailed off, a plan beginning to form in my mind. Whenever my master went to prison he always clung to the ceiling and waited for someone to open the door. Then he pounced. I can do this. Someone is about to open that door. Someone. Anyone. Anytime now...
"Ugh! I'm way to impatient for this!" I jumped off the ceiling and used the force to push the door so hard it hit the wall. It was loud but at least I'm free.
"Hey you there! You! Put your hands up!" I internally slapped myself for jinxing it. They started firing but I sensed it before hand and ducked. Out of no where someone tackled me. I groaned as I hit the floor on my stomach. I struggled underneath the person who I'm guessing was a clone commando trooper since they were unbelievably heavy. Seriously what is it with them and the tackling today? I heard loud footsteps approaching from one side and soft footsteps from the other. Shots rang out. The person on top of me let out a grunt and fell limp beside me. I was panting and breathibg heavily. And an armored hand reached down to me I happily took it. I looked down at my lap and brushed off my armour/dress.
"Thanks for the help back there. Say what's your na- no. Oh my- it can't be. Y-you must have stolen that armour! Remove your helmet!" Either my eyes are deceiving me or imposters are standing in front of me. I mean it couldn't actually be them. Could it? The two people dressed in the painstakingly familiar clone armour stepped in line together. They both gripped they're helmets in unison. When they removed it a gasp escaped my lips. I stared in awe at the men standing in front of me. One wearing a cocky smirk, as usual but the other is what caused feelings to arise in my heart. The other man had a small smile which hid his true anxiety and guilt.
"Hello there Commander Tano! Boy have we missed you. Especially this gu-ow!" The anxious man elbowed the cocky one in the stomach. Normally I would've laughed. I heard the small footsteps approach along with a gasp. Omega appeared beside me.
"Wait a minute. Don't I know you two?" She asked the men. My heart skipped a beat when he made eye contact with me.
"Yes! Your the troopers from Echo and Ahsoka's pictures and stories! Your Captain Rex and- and?" I stepped in front of Omega and lightly shoved her behind me.
"Hey there, cyare." I took a breath and stepped forward.
"Hi Rex." We both smiled to hide our different emotions. Everybody could sense the tension in the air. Luckily whenever things were tense you could always count on one man to make you crack a genuine smile.
"Yeah yeah bla bla romantic reunion and wut nut. Now let's talk about me. Where's my bro!?" I chuckled and shook my head.
"F-Fives? It's really you?"
"The one and only Adi'ka. The one and only."
