《Sure Thing, Commander ✔︎》3
Advertisement
Ahsoka and Rex ate in silence. They each had a piece of the large Sathog and were munching happily. The sound of hundreds of bugs and animals filled the silence. Rex saw Ahsoka admiring the small Phosfleas that glowed in the air. She set what she was eating down and removed a small, empty, lantern from the ship. She then walked around and tried to catch the bugs. She jumped in the air and caught a handful, setting them down gently inside the lantern.
The bugs filled the small glass box with light. Ahsoka sat down next to Rex and placed the lantern in between them. She watched as the Phosfleas crawled around and lit up the small space.
"We still need to make a shelter," Rex pointed out.
"Right" Ahsoka muttered.
She pulled out some vines from her bag and tossed them next to Rex.
"We can use these to tie wood pieces together" she explained.
"How are we going to get that wood?" Rex asked.
"Leave that to me," Ahsoka said.
She threw her hand up, her palm facing the forest. Her eyes were closed and she used the force to lift two very large pieces of bark. Ahsoka set them down next to one another creating a make-shift tent.
Rex marched over and wrapped the vines around the structure pulling them tightly. He tied them securely and layed out a small blanket inside. It was big enough for only the two of them, still being the slightest bit crammed. Neither cared though as they were here to survive. Surviving didn't involve comfort, it was staying alive for another day.
Ahsoka set the lantern in the corner of the shelter and sat down next to it. Rex hung a large cloth over the entrance so no bugs, or unwanted creatures, could get in. At least he hoped. After everything was set up and both of their stomachs were full Rex joined Ahsoka inside the tent.
She was lying on her back staring at the ceiling. Rex wondered what she was thinking about and more or less what she was focusing on. Ahsoka turned to him and smiled. He returned the gesture and layed down next to her.
"I never knew this was how I would be spending my time here on Kashyyyk, as a refugee. A refugee running from the republic" She sighed a small frown on her face.

"At least we're not dead" Rex pointed out.
"True" Ashoka agreed, "I just hope Anakin is okay"
"Last I heard he was at the Jedi temple" Rex muttered.
Ashoka nearly choked on her breath. To think that her former master had been killed was too much. He was one of the most powerful Jedi, he just couldn't be dead. Even though she saw what had happened with the chancellor in the force, she still knew there was good in him. He would make the right decision.
"He's okay" Ashoka said trying to reassure herself, "I just know it"
Suddenly she felt a great disturbance in the force. Pictures filled her head one flashing into the other. It was Anakin. Him and Obi wan, they were fighting on a planet with lava and fire. Mustafar. Ashoka saw as Obi wan stood on a hill and Anakin was jumping. The next picture Anakin was on the ground fire covering his body. Obi wan was crying and shouting something. Then Obi wan left in Padme's ship.
Ashoka sat up quickly gasping for breath. Rex jumped up as well frantically looking at her.
"Is everything alright?" Rex asked with a concerned look.
Ashoka clutched her head, her breaths raspy and scattered. Rex tugged at her arm to get her to look at him.
"What's wrong?" he demanded searching for any reaction.
"Anakin" Ashoka choked out, "Him and Obi wan were fighting on Mustafar. Obi wan just left him and I felt hatred, fear."
Rex's brow was furrowed, "Why were they fighting?"
More images flashed through Ashoka's head. Anakin was entering the jedi temple. Clones were killing Jedi all around and set the temple on fire. Young lings were hiding in the council's room. Anakin entered the room and took out his lightsaber, igniting it. Then one by one he slaughtered them.
Ashoka's face burned, tears rolling down her cheeks. What had her master done? Had he turned to the dark side? He killed younglings and somehow the clones weren't attacking him. He was in fact leading them. She sobbed clasping a hand over her mouth. Rex gently rubbed her arm and scooted closer to her.
"He killed them!" she said in disbelief, "Rex he killed them! Every single one!"
"Who?" Rex asked, looking as worried as ever.
"Anakin" Ahsoka cried burying her face into her hands, "He killed the younglings, the Jedi..."

"No..." Rex started, "Commander Skywalker would never..."
Rex's face went white and he felt as Ahsoka shivered next to him. He pulled her closer to him gently stroking her lekku. Pain filled Ashoka's veins and she still couldn't accept the fact that he had turned. Not her master, not Anakin.
More images flooded her head and as they came she bawled letting her tears flow freely. Anakin was bloodied, open wounds covering his body and marks from the fire everywhere. His clothes were ripped and torn and his head was bleeding, damaged terribly from the flames. An evil looking man in a dark cloak came forward but there was something strangely familiar. Ashoka focused on the figure to realize it was Chancellor Palpatine. Only he looked different. He put Anakin on a hovering slab of metal and took him away to his ship.
Ashoka groaned and wiped her nose with her arm. The Chancellor, he must be the sith lord they were looking for! After all this time the one person who was controlling both light and dark was right in front of them.
"The Chancellor" she yelped, "He's a sith lord"
Rex gaped at her, his eyes darting every which way.
"How? How did we not see that it was-..." he trailed off.
And then more images came. Only these were filled with darkness, hatred, and rage. The feeling that it gave Ashoka was so terrible she squeezed her eyes shut. Palpatine had begun to fix up Anakin and was putting various pieces of black armor on his apprentice. Anakin now covered in this horrifying armor stood up and destroyed all the medical equipment around him. Padme was having children, a boy and a girl. Then her eyes closed, never to open again.
A strangled noise escaped Ahsoka's mouth. She weeped softly and dug her fingers into her arms. Rex looked at her with a longing look but shook it off quickly. He'd always admired how tough Ashoka was and never truly saw the vulnerable side of her. He wanted to help her but couldn't exactly think of the best way to do that.
"He's gone Rex" Ahsoka whimpered.
Ashoka saw the fear in Rex's eyes and she could barely hold his gaze.
"Anakin" she began, "He's turned to the dark side"
"I can't believe it" Rex stumbled for words, "I never thought-"
Rex didn't have to finish the sentence. Ashoka already knew what he meant. She never thought that Anakin would do something like this either. To her, he was just her mentor. A stubborn, headstrong, pilot that would do anything for her. Not this Darth Vader as she heard Palpatine call him. Or should she say Lord Sidious? Since Palpatine was the sith lord they have been searching for the entire war!
It appeared no one was who they seemed to be. This tore at Ashoka. She didn't know who to trust. She had to call Obi wan find out what happened and make sure he was alive.
"Rex," she started her voice shaky, "Where's the transmitter?"
"Back on the ship. Why?" he asked with a wondering look.
"I need to contact Master Kenobi," she explained sitting up determined to find out the truth.
"Don't worry Soka I already sent a message out to all the Jedi, if there are any left..." Rex uttered. "If general Kenobi responds I'll let you know right away"
Ashoka nodded, "Thanks"
"No problem" Rex replied, laying on his back.
Ashoka pulled herself together and layed down as well. She watched the little Phosfleas in the jar, as they flew and crawled around. These helped her begin to calm down. When in doubt Ahsoka always turned either to meditation or nature. In this case it was the Phosfleas. Soon she heard Rex start to snore and chuckled. All the fighting and terrible things that had happened must have made him tired.
Earlier when Rex was talking about his brothers and order sixty six, he was crying. Ahsoka had lifted his helmet off to see tears run down his rough cheeks. He looked away quickly not wanting her to see him like that. But all she wanted at the time was to help him, to hug him and make everything better. She didn't know what to say in the time being. She had never seen him cry, other than when he was being controlled by order sixty six. When he almost shot her... She shook off the memory.
She felt terrible for him, he had lost so much yet he still was a strong fighter. Ahsoka didn't see him as just a soldier though. She saw him as a friend. He always had her back and she always had his. They had the perfect friendship. So why couldn't she shake the feeling they could be something more, better?
