Chapter Text
Hello everyone,
I’m sorry for the long wait for chapters, but I do have a big announcement. After working on other projects and gaining a friend who had helped me become a better writer (Hi ark) I have decided that this story is getting another rewrite.
After working on and becoming a better author I feel this story needs better. It was one of my first fics and we can tell it’s not the best, but thanks to everyone who commented, left Kudos, and who helped give me advice and writing tips this story can absolutely be 100% better.
I wanted to wait till I had a lot more chapters done before posting this, but I can’t do that to you guys. You’ve waited long enough.
i wanna give special thanks to those who have really pushed me!

Ahsoka stretched as she walked out of the shop preparing to go meet with Trace to grab some lunch at Dex’s. The tense feeling she had woken up with was now becoming a strange tingling in her arm s and was making its way down her legs .
“Hey Ahsoka, mind picking up some A-Twelve bolts?” Rafa called from her spot, work ing on a large mecha droid.
“Sure, I’ll pick them up when I come back with Trace.” Ahsoka says back walking out.
As she walks a strange tension begins to fill the air. Looking up she notices the odd movement of the transport ships. Something was going on. Picking up her speed she heads to the upper levels to Dex’s. There she sees even more troopers and people rushing into buildings.
Getting to Dex’s Trace has already been ordered and was waiting. “Glad to see you back Ahsoka!” Dex smiles and searches his belly. “Say you wouldn’t know what’s going on, would you?”
Ahsoka shakes her head. “No, I was hoping you did.”
Dex mumbles something, “well I went ahead and started working on your favorite. Sit down, I'll have it out in a minute.”
“Thanks Dex.” Ahsoka goes and takes her seat across from Trace in the back of the restaurant. “Hey Trace, have you seen what’s going on?”
“Yeah, no idea what’s going on. They’ve been getting more active as the day goes on.” Trace looks out the window. She moves to close in on herself. Worry crossed her face. “Think we're about to be under attack?”
Ahsoka reaches out to the force. It was quiet. Very very quiet, yet with a soft buzz to it. “I don’t know. Let’s just take our food to go.” She didn’t trust what was going on. “Hey Dex!”
Dex already set two to-go boxes and two plastic cups. “Heard yeah kid.” Dex glanced out the window unease was filling him around in the force. “I think you two should head back and be careful, even I can tell something bad is going down.” He puts the boxes in a bag and hands it to Trace.
“Thanks Dex.” Trace hands him some credits and they leave quickly as Dex turns off the open light and pulls the shutters down. The streets were becoming increasingly deserted with only the clones filling them.
Taking the back streets they get back to the hangar bay. The main shutter was closed. “I was just about to call you two.”
“Sorry I didn’t get the bolts.” Ahsoka said and handed her a box of food.
“It’s alright. All my contacts have been trying to find out what’s happening. Did you two hear anything up there?” She nods her head towards the surface.
“No.” Trace goes and sits down on some crates. “Not even Dex knows what’s going on.”
Rafa hums a bit. “Let’s just bunker down for the day and just wait this day out. I’m worried about being attacked.”
“I agree.” Ahsoka said and took a sip of her drink. “Something is going down and I would rather us to be out of it.”
They eat in silence with only the radio playing softly in the background. A strange wonder of whether they could hear the fighting from the surface down to here or whether there would be fighting at all. After eating they begin cleaning up the shop. As some song being sung in Rodian gets cut out and not even the static that should be there isn’t. It’s just dead air. “Rafa?” Trace looks at her sister.
“Hmm? Why’d you turn the radio off?” She looks at Trace.
Trace shakes her head no. “I didn’t.” That could only mean one thing. The planet was under attack once more.
They all look up waiting for the rocking of the roof from the bombs being dropped down. No sounds come through. Nothing rocks the foundation or anything happens. A chill begins filling the air. “We should head to our living space.” Rafa sets her broom down.
Quickly moving towards the back to their living spaces. Sitting down they leave the radio on in hopes of something coming through. The holonet was out as well so they could get nothing. “Ahsoka, has anything like this happened before?”
“No. We never did anything like this.” Reaching out she tries to see if she can get something from the faded bond Ahsoka has with Anakin. All she could get was he was alright and happy over something. “I can’t feel anything dark, just… it’s just strange.”
Ahsoka leaned on the edge of her chair holding her arms. The tingling in her right arm got more numb. She had sometimes got this feeling in her arm whenever she woke up from a battle from time to time. Kix had said it was some type of nerve damage he wasn’t able to find. He would usually get some medical device to check it out then give her a shot to help with the tingling. Rubbing that spot she hoped it would not get worse.
After a long time of sitting in the overwhelming silence the radio kicked back on like nothing had happened. A song about a woman losing her love and mind at a club kicked on right in the middle causing everyone to jump at the sudden sound. “Force!” Trace yelled, nearly falling out of her chair.
Rafa looked at Ahsoka, “Do you think it’s over?”
Ahsoka opens her mouth to say something, but nothing comes out. She closes it and thinks for a moment. Once again reaching out into the force only to feel the strange buzzing sensation that was lighter somehow. It was so odd. She can’t remember the force feeling this light for a long time. “I think it is.” She heads towards the door. “Stay here, I'm going out to check on it.”
Ahsoka leaves before they can stop her. The streets were empty. Not even clones were here. The sound of speakers that had turned back on played. Echoing all around creating an awful mix of music. Her footsteps joined in on the echoing. Not even the homeless or those on death sticks were here. Where was everyone and why was the force feel so much lighter than before?
Looking down one of the large transport hole she still couldn’t see anyone below or above. Walking towards the elevator she paused. Ahsoka reached out in the force trying to find which way to go. Suddenly the tingling in her arm gets stronger. “Ahsoka.” Ahsoka turns, her hands on her blaster pulling it out. “Woah take it easy snips.”
Holding his hands up she sees it’s Anakin. “Anakin!” Ahsoka lowers her blaster as Anakin rushes to her.
Both gather in a big embrace. “Ahsoka I’ve missed you!”
“And I’ve missed you! What happened, why did all communications just stop?” She looks at him with concern. The force begins to yell at her to run.
Anakin’s gaze goes darker. “Palpatine was a Sith Lord. He orchestrated this whole war in an attempt to take over.” He grabs Ahsoka’s arm and squeezes them a bit too hard making the tingling sensation begin to burn. “He was trying to turn the galaxy into his empire and plunge everything into darkness.” Anakin shakes a little. “He was even trying to give you the death sentence.”
“Anakin.” Ahsoka tries to pull out but she can’t. “Is he..”
“Yes.” Anakin squeezes her arms harder. “He’s dead, and the war.” He smiles with tears in his eyes, “it's over.”
Ahsoka lets out a sigh of relief but the force is still screaming at her to run as she could feel the bruising from the way Anakin was squeezing her. “That’s good.” Ahsoka tries to get out of what began to feel like the death grip but couldn’t. “Anakin you're hurting me.”
Anakin’s eyes widened. “Sorry snips.” His grip loosens but he’s still holding on tightly. “It’s just I want you to come back with me. Dad has everything going and-“
“Dad?” Ahsoka reared back a little. “Who’s dad?” She tries to get out of his grip more.
“Obi-Wan.” Anakin strengthens his grip back. “He’s gonna make everything okay, Snips. I promise!” He pulls her closer into a hug.
The force now screeches at her to get away. Ahsoka starts struggling. “Anakin, you're hurting me!” Ahsoka starts struggling trying to get out of his grip. “You need to let me go!”
“Not this time Snips.” Anakin stabs her shoulder with something sharp. A hypo needle.
“ANAKIN!” Using the force she pushes him away.
Anakin lets her go as he’s flung back. Ahsoka takes off running. The force slowly stops its horrible screeching and begins to become murky. Ahsoka keeps running down deep into the planet. Jumping down from ship holes even as everything begins to feel like it was in honey.
Ahsoka stops and takes a deep breath. Her vision becomes darker as the force has gone quiet and out of reach. Her limbs felt so heavy like gravity was pulling her down. “AHSOKA!”
Hearing that she begins to run again. Ahsoka’s feet become unsteady as she runs. Ahsoka pants as the world around her becomes dark. Suddenly Ahsoka is made aware she’s falling right into the ground. “NO!” Ahsoka could tell Anakin and a few clones were now over her. “Get a Gunship here now we need a medic!”
Ahsoka is picked up by Anakin as the galaxy finally starts to fade from her. “It’s okay sis. I promise it’s gonna be all okay.” Anakin carries her bridal style to the gun ship. Once inside she could finally feel herself losing the battle to stay awake. “Just sleep sis, I’m right here.”

Obi-wan watches as Anakin gets swarmed by the medics who take Ahsoka. She had some scraps visible on her face. “What happened?”
Obi-wan goes to Anakin who’s left behind as they get her to the medical wing. Anakin stares at the door they went through. “She ran, when I stabbed her with the hypo she just ran from me.” Anakin was shaking badly, “why would she do that dad?”
Obi-wan pulls Anakin into a hug. Even though Anakin was taller than himself Obi-wan positioned him to lay his head on his shoulder tightly. Rubbing his back, Obi-wan rocks a little. “I’m sure she’s just scared, little Prince.” Obi-wan runs a hand through his hair. “After being cast out and on the run as well as living in the underworld she’s probably so scared. It’s not your fault.” Obi-wan kisses his forehead.
Anakin sniffs. “First Padmé goes missing and now Snips runs away from me.”
Obi-wan coos at Anakin, “it’s alright Ani. I’m sure Padmé just knew something was wrong and her men and handmaids just wanted to protect her. Will find her.”
“And the baby?” Anakin looks at Obi-wan with tears filling his eyes.
Obi-wan looks a bit offended at that. “Of course we will also find your baby! You’d think I’d let my little grandchild live in such a harsh galaxy?” Obi-wan tuts at him. “When we find them we will make sure they have the best, okay?”
Anakin nods and sniffs. “Okay dad.”
Obi-wan nuzzles Anakin softly, “Then let's go see if our men have picked anything up on their whereabouts while they worked on Ahsoka, then after that why don’t we finish setting up Ahsoka’s room, okay?”
Anakin nods. “Okay.” He mumbles softly. Taking his hand they walk off to the security team to see what they can find.
