Ahsoka's pov
Once I finished gathering my items the shopkeeper put them in multiple bags and basically tossed them at me.

"Here's your stupid shit. Now pay me and get out." I scoffed and glared at him as I repositioned my bags. Was he an imperial supporter or just a usual bitch?

"Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine." I wanted to flip him off but I was commed so I groaned and walked away settling for blowing a raspberry at his man's sticking my tongue out. I tapped the com and lowered it's volume.

"Hunter what is so important that you had too-" I asked sort of impatiently. I still had one thing left to shop for.

"Someone took Omega." Red. All I could see was red.

"Wait. What. Who? Where? When? Why? How!? And most importantly WHO!!!"

"I don't know !I don't know some woman! She's highly trained and after the kid!" Hunter said clearly out of breath. I heard something in the background and then Tech say

"I'll tap into the central security network. There should be enough camers in this city to find her." I nodded but then realized no one could see me. Hmm. Wow Ahsoka. You're not as bright as you used to be.

"Listen I made a bit of noise out here, get the ship ready to go."

"Well it's not technically a ship at the moment. And unless you have a team of maintenance droids it's going to be awhile."

"I can help with that." I am so lost. Who's helping who with what and seriously where the hell is Omega!? I stood still waiting for Tech to finally get back to us. It took longer then anticipated. But he finally came through.

"I have eyes on her. She went down into the maintenance tunnels. Head northwest at 155. Ahsoka at your right go down that sewer shaft then take another right." I did as he instructed and opened the hatch but then I heard again,

"And she's got company." I gritted my teeth and went even faster. Whoever is messing with Omega is gonna be one sorry person when I get my hands on them.

"I'm in pursuit Tech. How long do I travel straight now?"

"Just keep running and you'll find them." Them? Who's them? Why do I feel like I'm missing some much needed information?

"If you say so Tech." Ew this was so gross. The only other time I've willingly been in a sewer was when I was on the run from Fox, Rexy and Anakin. No don't think about that! Just Omega. Find Omega. Find Omega. Find-

"Wrecker?" Oh so that's who Tech meant by 'them'. Then a small little body form ran into me and my shopping bags.

"There you are!" Wrecker boomed so loud he probably gave away our position. I groaned and facepalmed.

"Omega did you wander away from Hunter?"

"I didn't mean too. It was an accident." Eh I couldn't stay mad at her anyways.

"Alright come on. Let's go home." Wrecker picked her up and we started walking back following him. I turned on my com.

"Hunter, come in. Hunter!"

"Did you find her?"

"Yeah she's safe with Wrecker and I. I'm okay too, thanks for asking." He scoffed and shut his com off. I smirked triumphantly until I heard a small gasp from Omega. I turned around to see her pointing back the way we came. Then I saw it. It was a dark being with a black and bright orange helmet. Everything about her was mysteriously edgy except for the young eyes staring at me from behind the brightly contrasting orange helmet.

"Oh goodie. It found us." She snarled at me. I noticed she was slowly prowling forward like a predator about to destroy the life of an innocent Sanconim bunny. I set my shopping bags down on the cleanest spot I could find with the force.

"Omega get to the ship." She happily obliged and started climbing.

"You mess with the kid, you mess with me." I smiled and grabbed my sabers. I didn't activate them yet. Let's give Wrecker a crack at it first since he's been a big action starved since we've met. He charged her then immediately hit his head on a pipe and fell. Wow. Why is this an elite squad again?

"You'll regret that." I warned her, now activating both my light sabers.

"No I don't think I will." I charged at her but instead of taking a direct approach like Wrecker I leaped from wall to wall then stuck to the ceiling and pounced on her. My light sabers cut both of her blasters in half on impact but she jumped out of the way to avoid full force of my blow. She stared at her broken blaster, then at me and growled.

"Now you will regret that." I scoffed and glared at her.

"No. No I really don't think I will." This time she lunged with her bare fists. Woman's got guts I'll give her that. I waved my swords rapidly but she kept ducking and jumping and dodging all my swings. Okay this obviously isn't gonna work so I deactivated both my sabers and put them on my belt.

"Ha! Giving up already Jedi?" I winced at her remark but I didn't let her see that she got to me even though the very word Jedi could be considered a slur in todays galaxy.

"I'm Ahsoka kriffing Tano. I don't even know what that word means!" I bounced off the ceiling again then using my momentum grabbed her shoulders and made her double over on the moist ground when I slid in between her legs to successfully take her down. I punched her in the gut. She stumbled back then lunged again. I caught her punch before she made impact and twisted her hand like I was dancing to slide under it then when I went as far as I could to the right I yanked her arm to make her fall towards me. As a finishing move I gave her a solid back fist to the face as she fell. I held her arm there for a solid minute before grabbing the rest of her arm and flinging her against the side of the sewer tunnel.

"Stay down." She got up again and again but I've had enough of it. I force pushed her across the entire sewer tunnel. Oh no I didn't think this through very well. She was now at least a hundred feet away from me. She could easily escape. And so she did. I watched as she ran off. I bared my teeth but snapped out of it when I heard a grunt emit from the corner. My head flipped toward the sound to see Wrecker rubbing his head.

"Wrecker!" I yelled and ran over to him. My mind was scattered between the hand to hand combat refresher orange lady so kindly provided me with, the person she took and Wrecker's clearly disoriented position.

"Wrecker." Tech called through his com. Wrecker continued to rub his head so I turned on his com for him. When I closed my eyes I could vividly see the orange assassin running with Omega. I was even about to leave Wrecker for her but as quickly as my panic bubbles up it was subsided when another force presence was creeping up to their spot who was Hunter.

"Got to find Omega."

"It's admirable Wrecker but I sense Hunter is already on that. We have to focus on getting to the Marauder."

"Ahsoka is right. Hunter is handling it. Get yourselves back to the ship now." Tech confirmed for us both.

"Got it. Wrecker and Ahsoka, out." He shut off the com. I picked up my bags filled to the brim with assorted objects, one of them being toilet paper for the hero himself. We started dashing off down the sewers. Wrecker had only one thing to focus on but as I was running I was also checking to see nothing fell out of my bags.

"Quick! Through here!" I called back to Wrecker who was deviating from my side, which wasn't good. Luckily he came back and punched open the sewer shaft. I squinted my eyes and sighed.

"You could have just pressed the button but that works too."

"Ha! Pressing a buttons no fun. I haven't blown up anything in a week the least I could do is punch a hole through a door." He explained. Yeah that sounds about right for him.

"Whatever let's just go. Any idea where the ship is?"

"Nah. Let's just keep runnin' in til we find it."

"I'm too tired to object."

~some time later~

"UGGHHHHH THIS SUUUUUCKS!!!" Wrecker yelled. It definitely caught some unwanted attention. I shushed him and pushed forward beyond the lookers and people who stopped to stare at the sight of a young hooded Togruta girl pushing a scarred man with one ear who was about twice her size. Honestly I would've liked to see that too.

"Quiet! Do you see any sign of the ship yet? Or Hunter? Or literally anyone or anything we know?"

"Heh, not Hunter. But I did find the coppers." I looked at him as to silently say what the hell is that supposed to mean. He pointed up to where sirens were blaring. Oh so that was that noise I've been hearing. I just assumed it was all in my head again like the visions.

"Oh. The police. Fantastic. Well in case things go arwy I got a friend in the Senate who would help."

"Really? You? Friends with a Senator? That's hard to believe." I scoffed and continued walking.

"Believe it Wrecker. At a time I used to be able to name all the Senators in the Republic. I was good friends with a few Senators such as Riyo Chuchi from Pantora. And I was especially close with Padme Amidala from Naboo." Wrecker hummed probably not knowing what else to say.

"Hey! Is that-"

"Yep. That's Hunter." We both saw a small speeder bike zoom by.

"Follow me." I darted off into the small entrance of the alley way. Our com turned on but I waved at the group and the com went off.

"Ah, there you are. We need to leave now." Hunter said in his stern dad/Sargeant voice.

"Geez cool your hormones Sarge were coming." Wrecker cackled and elbowed me.

"There's Anakin Married-man Skywalker mode! I missed it!" I giggled at the cheering from Wrecker and ran aboard the ramp. I sat down in the copilot seat. Echo was a little pissed for some reason but I'm sure he'll get over it. Tech was surprisingly happy about it all.

"Let's get out of this trash hole." Hunter said which I winced at. This 'trash hole' was where I met one of my greatest friends. I frowned but flicked on the power and hyper drive. I shut the ramp and prepared the auxiliary power transfer from storage to the hyperdrive engines. Tech took off and smoothly turned right.

"Ready to make the jump in three, two one. Hit it Tech." My heart got a horrible feeling within it. I groaned and fell out of my seat as the world went black again. Why does this keep happening to me? Then I started hearing voices again. Oh boy.

"Hit it Rex."

"Sir yes sir."

"We'll see each other again. I promise."

"Be careful Lux."

"Put purpose before feelings Ahsoka."

"I knew you couldn't resist a good fight."

"Am I getting that predictable?"

"He betrayed me! You were right Rex. Lux was nothing but trouble. Now I'm stuck on Onderon without Anakin, without Obi-wan, without you. I'm all alone."

"Cyare you're never alone. I'll always be here for you even when no one else is. I promise to never leave your side until my last breath."

"When will you tell me what that word means?"

"Cyare. It means beloved. I love you Ahsoka. Always have, always will." I snapped awake, breathing heavily. Well that was the best and worst vision of the past I've had in awhile. Positively a step up from last one at least.

"Ahsoka?" A voice asked. I turned my head to see Echo sitting next to me. I groaned and sat up, looking around. It appeared I was in his private room. It was really small. Like smaller than the old barricks, small.

"Oh hey Echo do you know wha-" He cut me off by grabbing me and putting his arms around me, squeezing tightly.

"Okay whatever jedi bullshit that was, don't do it again. Ever." I snorted. This seemed random but I'm sure Echo had his reasons.

"Did you just give me an order?"

"Yep. And I don't want to hear jack about how 'experience outranks everything' again. Got it?"

"Sir yes sir." We both laughed as we parted away from the soft hug.

"Well Commander I'll leave you to get changed." I just stared at him blankly before realization set in.

"You looked in a lady's bags?!"

"No. I looked in your bags." He left his room before I could argue. Not that I could argue. He was kinda right but I won't let him know I think that. I rolled my eyes at the whole situation and walked in the corner of the room to where the bags were laying undisturbed. I removed my special items. The first one I pulled out was the toilet paper. I chuckled and set it aside. That's when something caught my eye. I walked over to the other wall and gasped when I saw the picture. I traced my finger over the picture of me, Fives, Jesse, Kix, Hardcase and Rex from my 15th birthday. After all these years Echo still has it.. and in the middle of his wall no less.

"Oh Rexy. I miss you so much." I sighed but kept moving. Then I pulled out the varying pieces of clothing I got to complete my brand new look. I removed my old clothes and placed them in a pile on Echo's bed. My dark blue leggings and mandalorion dress were gone now. And as I changed in to my new clothes I changed into a new person. I'm the new and improved Ahsoka. And I look like a kriffing boss.

I am Ahsoka Tano, a true jedi, but not a restricted one. I am the former padawan of the chosen one and now the future of the jedi order. Free to be silly. Free to be serious. But most importantly, free to be me. Free to be my reckless, witty, sarcastic, and bold self. If Anakin can't bring balance to the force, then I will... Or die trying.
