"Well then the great Senator Organa is too afraid to fight me and instead sends his lackies to fight without a care in the world"

"What...did you just say?"

"I think you heard me Senator"

"Never think I don't care about my men"

With those words Bail charges in with his staff extended and a few clones and security officers that were on standby protecting the civilians saw it and one clone and security officer had time for a short conversation that the security officer initiated

"Well now they've done it"

"Done what?"

"They just implied Senator Organa doesn't care about his men, you can insult him all you want, you can threaten him with a lot of things without too much trouble but once you imply he doesn't care about his men you are in trouble. He will either be political death to you or in this case potentially kill the person and even if he doesn't I'll be surprised if that person doesn't wind up in a coma"

"Is it just me or is he playing with his opponent?"

"He's playing alright, Senator Organa is teaching his attacker a huge lesson in not thinking he doesn't care about his men, and since this is probably being recorded live he's also teaching others that might go after him not to imply he doesn't care about his people"

"So how long until he calms down?"

"I have absolutely no idea"

"Understood"

Ashoka then decides to join in despite having been warned by Anakin before never to get involved when Bail is full on in Kor Soth Let, but that was because she hadn't exactly been given much of a choice when a few people decided to try and get in a sneak attack on Bail. She managed to keep Bail safe from the sneak attack but was attacked herself right after Bail took down his opponent due to how Kor Soth Let worked. Years earlier when Master Plo Koon realized the problem Bail was having with the standard Alderaanian defense form and had it confirmed by Master Lenira both knew that the sixth sense Bail had about his being defenseless was a good thing for the style they were using, what they forgot to do was train Bail on how to distinguish between friend and foe because that was possible even when in full Kor Soth Let mode even for him. Anakin and Obi-wan both knew that Bail wasn't able to do that and while they had been working on it with him since the beginning of the Clone Wars it wasn't done often enough due to the all the fighting the two of them had to do

"Senator Organa it's just me"

Ashoka focused all her strength on the bond she had with Bail as a means of calming him down and stopping his attack and it worked

"Ashoka I'm so sorry"

"It's partially my fault for ignoring the rules my master gave me"

"Ashoka, what will you do once you get back to Coruscant?"

"I don't know really, the Council will most likely assign me a new Master to complete my training"

"If...if that happens how would you feel as part of my Jedi protection detail for a little while?, not permanently but maybe a month for you and your new Master to get to know each other without being in a battlefield this time"

"I'd like that actually, thank you Senator Organa"

"Senator what exactly did you just do?"

"I used a means of self defense that I was taught a few years ago"

"It looked like you were dancing with the staff"

"Yes, it does look much like a dance if you've mastered the style doesn't it?"

"Senator, we understand that you were friends with Master Kenobi and Knight Skywalker, we haven't found their bodies but...we did find a few personal affects that Padawan Tano here felt should go to you and as such entrusted them into our safe keeping until you arrived"

With that Bail is given their comm devices and two pieces of jewelry that they had never taken off for any reason. Bail had given them the pieces shortly after Rattatak as a way of symbolizing that even if they were separated they were always together and friends no matter what. It was used often as reassurance whenever the two either wouldn't or couldn't use the bond as a means of reassurance. He also received the armor that the Clones had forced on them ages ago

"Thank you"

"You're welcome"

After that all of them practice their shooting

"Why is it that even us Jedi have to practice using blasters?"

"Because young Padawan it could save your life, your Master and Master Kenobi proved that during a hard period for them years ago. After that we went with their recommendation and made blaster practice on a regular basis mandatory"

"But we have our lightsabers"

Bail speaks up then

"You might not have one all the time, I know for a fact that there's been times when a Jedi has been separated from their lightsaber during this stupid war and only knowledge of a blaster has saved their lives"

"By the way Senator, after this we're going to be having a little talk about something that happened recently"

"Oh?"

"Yep, it involves you, your security team and what happened shortly before we arrived on planet"

Once blaster practice was done for the day Bail finds out exactly what his security team did for the test and then discovered that part of it was a message sent to Palpatine faking his being captured

"John would never have approved of that"

"Turns out he was outvoted, is it really still safe for your security team not to know about the truth?"

"Master Windu unless through Obi-wan, Anakin or Yoda I hear it's safe through the Force I am not telling them because of just how dangerous Sidious is"

"Very well"

Bail would stay on Corellia for three more weeks with Ashoka being by his side often when on the last day an attack happened that wasn't expected by anyone but two people. Two people who had faked their deaths in order to keep Corellia safe

"Hello Bail, sorry we're late"

"We have much to discuss later Obi-wan, Ashoka is not going to be happy with out, by the way with you two coming out in the open I presume Corellia is safe once again?"

"Indeed it is Bail, indeed it is"

"Good to hear"

Finally the battle ended and everyone headed back to Coruscant with Obi-wan and Anakin drilled for details on why they faked their deaths by Ashoka and the other clones. After they told their tale Ashoka told hers in more detail through the bond including her code name she was to use through the Spying Diner from now on

*Wow Fulcrum is a name I haven't heard in a very long time*

*Wait what do you mean Master?*

*You fought against me as Fulcrum in the Rebellion Snips when I was Vader*

*Wow, why don't I remember that?*

*There are reasons why but mostly it's because of the Force*

They get back to Coruscant and the Temple and for a few days things are fine when suddenly Anakin and Obi-wan are called to a meeting and that's when they discover it was time for the Hardeen mission

"The Force wants two Jedi to go undercover this time"

"Except we all know the Chancellor won't allow it to be Anakin"

"And quite frankly you need to go undercover Obi-wan however who's going to be the other person, after all Dooku would recognize his old Padawan, especially after that one encounter and Ashoka is pretty recognizable too"

"Which is why Obi-wan will go undercover as Rako Hardeen while the other Jedi takes another route to protect the Chancellor"

"Have you even decided what they're going to do?"

"No, but the Force will show us the way"

"Fine"

"This is not going to end well with Snips, we might never regain her trust fully"

"I know"

All of a sudden Anakin is assaulted with a vision due to the fact that he had just seen Padawan Offee in the hallways and sees her on Tython with the other Jedi but he doesn't see Ashoka, however due to the fact that the vision was so brief he knew it didn't necessarily mean that Ashoka wasn't there, she just wasn't part of that particular set of training

"Anakin are you okay?"

"Fine Obi-wan, but Padawan Offee is going to have to go to Tython in the near future"

"Had a vision of her there?"

"Yes I did which means she doesn't bomb the Temple"

"Did you see Ashoka?"

"No the vision was too brief but we all know that doesn't mean anything"

"True enough"

Finally things were settled and it was time for the group to get to work

*Let's hope Ashoka forgives us for all of this*

*Agreed, I am not enjoying going through all of this again though*

*Not our fault*

*By the way do you know the Jedi who also went undercover?*

*No I have no idea, the Council probably is keeping that a secret as another means of protection*

*True enough*

*Show time*

"So what's the big rush?"

"The Jedi Council has called an emergency meeting"

(Sighs) "I can see it now, another long boring debate"

"Would you rather they call you in to train younglings?"

"Are you crazy?"

Suddenly they were dodging blaster fire and getting to cover

"Any idea where that shot came from?"

Once more Ashoka points the person out

"A sniper, I see him up there"

"All right here's the plan, Anakin you flank him on the right, Ashoka you cover the lower streets, I'm going after him" (mental contact) *By the way are you ready to help shield Ashoka?*

*Perfectly Master in fact it's already done she doesn't realize it yet though*

*Good*

The three of them activate their lightsabers and start the plan that Obi-wan and for Ashoka unkowingly the Council had given. Once on the roof Anakin and Obi-wan were targeted once more before the sniper started running again

*Have I mentioned before how much I hate this mission?*

*Yes Anakin I think you might have but there really isn't much choice all things considered*

*True but Dex could probably help by getting Palpatine out of office*

*Can't, remember what happened the last time he got too close to the truth?*

*Oh yeah I forgot about that*

*For now let's concentrate on the mission in front of us*

They get to a certain point and then have to activate the comm

"I lost him, Obi-wan do you have anything?"

Obi-wan naturally doesn't answer and then deliberately steps out in front of the sniper to get shot and while Anakin felt the pain of the bond snapping Ashoka didn't

"Obi-wan!"

Ashoka runs over and then speaks to her master

"I got him! Go!"

Anakin runs after the sniper but like before loses him, but since that was part of the plan he simply goes back to where Obi-wan and Ashoka were knowing it was all part of the plan but still not liking what Ashoka would never say

"How is he?"

Ashoka just looks at him in shock her face saying everything

"Obi-wan, Obi-wan, Obi-wan!"

They went back to the Temple and held his funeral, though Anakin attended he was silent and heavily shielding Ashoka from the conversation he and Yoda were having

*When should I mention to Ashoka he's actually alive?*

*Not until the original time you should*

*Understood Yoda, but she is not going to be happy once she learns I know he's alive*

*Needed this deception is though*

*I know, the Jedi also undercover?*

*Already in place he is, doing good he is too*

*Good to hear*

Anakin and Yoda hear Ashoka's silent conversation to Plo Koon who also knows that Obi-wan is alive but also knows he can't say anything to her

"I'm worried about Anakin, he hasn't said a word since it happened"

After the funeral Mace and Yoda went to the medical center and met up with Obi-wan who was very much alive and they discussed the plan again, but this time Anakin was there as well

"Master Windu, are we sure this is the best plan?"

"Sorry Skywalker you know as well as I do there's no other choice"

"Fine but the Council gets to explain this one to my Padawan"

"Naturally, are you sure you can shield her long enough for her not to find out the truth until you revealed it to her originally?"

"Yes, but Yoda's helping with that by supplementing my shields whenever he can because unfortunately I do occasionally slip when I am dealing with intense emotions...and I need to do special meditation soon which I am not looking forward to"

"Is the thought of those meditations hindering your shields?"

"For now considering this is probably another thing that helped me down the path of the dark side yes"

"Understood, hopefully the mission won't last as long"

"Unfortunately it has to"

"Then let us hope the Padawan regains her trust in us quickly"

Afterwords Mace met with Hardeen and got Obi-wan to eat the voice changer again

"Master I was wondering, why couldn't I feel Master Obi-wan's death through the bond?"

"I'm not sure Ashoka, though there's a probability that Master Obi-wan sensed his death was coming and shielded you from him and his death as much as possible"

"I guess that makes sense but there's still one thing I still don't understand, did Master Yoda say how they found the sniper?"

"Who cares, all that matters is they did"

Ashoka and Anakin enter the catina and Anakin activates his lightsaber and speaks up

"Where is Rako Hardeen?"

The bar tender tells him what he already knows

"Ah, back room"

The two head there with only Anakin knowing the truth

"Is he dead?"

"He's about to be"

Anakin turns him over while Obi-wan coughs and then talks

"A Jedi? I already killed a Jedi today, let me sleep"

"He's not dead, he's drunk, get up you filth!"

Anakin pushes Obi-wan against the wall and has a quick mental conversation

*Did you have to play drunk again?*

*Yes*

*Fine*

"If it were up to me I would kill you right here, but lucky for you the man you murdered would rather see you rot in jail. Now let's go you coward, before I change my mind"

They soon arrive at the jail with no one knowing it was actually Obi-wan just like planned

"You should be expecting this scum"

"Yes sir"

"Let me know if he's any trouble, I'd be happy to straighten him out"

They get back to the Temple while Obi-wan makes his escape and afterwords that's when things drastically change, because while Ashoka finds out about Obi-wan like originally the inside person was making changes as well by making sure that things were set up for the fugitives to take at the right time

"Master did you know he was alive?"

"Yes, I did"

"Why wasn't I told, why did you lie to me this entire time?"

"For your protection Snips, besides at least one of us had to be acting genuinely or else things might have fallen apart, I may have good acting skills but that's because of everything I have been through. You know full well Obi-wan, Yoda, Qui-Gon, Bail and I are from the future which means we've lived through all of this before, except things were a little more straight forward but this time we also have another evil we're fighting, either way we generally know what's happening in regards to missions and as such make better plans then originally and this is one of those. In the original time line I didn't know until you did either and that helped drive me further down the dark side, losing you was probably close to the last straw, though it was still about a year before the war ended"

Things in the war continued down the path they had before but slowly but surely clones had been told the truth and depending on several factors they volunteered and were accepted to be killed by their allies in the Rebel Alliance once it was formed. Satine herself was rescued from execution and Darth Maul was ultimately killed. Shortly after Maul's death Satine knew it was time for her to leave Mandalore and left it in the care of her sister while her death was faked and she went to Tython to await Obi-wan there. That same day Padawan Offee was also taken to Tython voluntarily because she realized she was being influenced by the war and requested a leave of absence. Once on Tython she was told she would remain there until told otherwise which she accepted because that meant she would be away from the war until further notice which is what she needed to recenter herself

"So where's Qui-Gon?"

"On a mission currently"

"Oh, okay"

All of a sudden though they felt pain through the bond and rushed towards the landing platform and they realized that things were bad. Qui-Gon needed emergency treatment which he received but when Obi-wan touched the bacta tank he realized extra measures needed to be taken to keep him alive

"Put him in carbonite sleep, then we'll move him to another planet"

"When will he be headed to Tython Master Kenobi?"

"He's not going to Tython, he's headed to another planet"

"Understood"

"Obi-wan?"

"When we're in the Council chambers Anakin"

"Understood Master"

Once in the Council chambers Obi-wan explains part of the reason why he wouldn't send Qui-Gon to Tython he never mentioned the full vision to the entire Council though Anakin and Yoda knew. Then three months before the infamous order Anakin, Obi-wan, Ashoka and Bail were on a mission when they were introduced to a substance and while most were able to be treated after a quick test they found out that Ashoka wasn't but only Anakin was told why

"How long does she have?"

"Six months if something isn't done"

Anakin meditates for a bit trying to find out what was needed and got his answer

"Understood, I think I know what to do"

He then goes to the group and gives an order that he knew wouldn't be liked but he really had no other choice

"Ashoka, you, Cody and Rex are going into carbonite sleep"

"Master my place is by your side"

"Ashoka I know you want to stay with me, however I forsee you becoming a great Jedi knight, one who will help future Jedi understand ways of the past for reasons I don't yet fully understand. Rex and Cody will help the Republic military in ways I don't fully understand either but their knowledge of tactics during the Clone Wars will be vital in the future. Rex, Cody you have orders to look after both Ashoka and each other when you wake up you'll probably feel isolated and alone because most likely everyone here will be dead and Coruscant or Tython won't be what you remember it as"

"General we're supposed to stay close to you"

"No Captain you're supposed to obey orders and these are our orders"

"General Kenobi..."

"Sorry Cody but in this Anakin is right the three of you play a vital part of the future though we have yet to know why. Don't worry Anakin and I will leave things behind for you that will stay hidden and passed down through the generations of the Order until the time is right for you to be woken up"

"What about hybernation sickness and the possibility of us going blind? I know that carbonite is still a relatively new process and side effects are unknown at this time"

"Don't worry we'll work on combating the side effects and make sure that research continues on after we're gone"

"Snips you know full well I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't necessary"

"I know Master, I just worry about you is all"

"Don't worry I have Obi-Wan to look after me and who knows I might find another Padawan who will also be capable of taking care of me. Just remember that no Padawan could ever take your place"

"Looks like we're going to sleep then. Generals take care of yourselves and...thanks for the aging cure"

"No problem Rex goodbye"

The three were then put into carbonite sleep and hidden

"Only the Council will ever know about these three and where they are sleeping"

"Agreed if I ever mention Snips and we have kids I will simply say we lost her in battle which is true in a way Obi-Wan"

"What exactly are you talking about Anakin?"

"Luke and Leia are to be born yes and most likely they will find out about Snips, however normally the Force would never have told me to put her in carbonite sleep. Obi-Wan the last battle we had involved toxic gases, normally everything would be fine after a special bacta treatment and some time spent with the Healers. However something in Ashoka's body means she would reject the regular cure, we think it has something to do with the Blue Shadow Virus incident the cure to that disease...changed her Togrutan biology just enough to make the cure to the toxic gases useless and would actually kill her. The Force showed me that there will be a cure in the future but they need Ashoka alive to test it, as such the Force told me she had to go into carbonite sleep along with Rex and Cody, originally only those two were supposed to be put into carbonite"

"Are we to declare that all three of them were killed in the line of duty?"

"I don't know, I'll have to meditate on that one"

"We'll obey the will of the Force, if we have to declare all three died in the line of duty to protect them we will. For now we have work to do Sidious won't be taken down that easily and we still don't know his new plan to take us down"

"Then let's get to work"

The group leaves the hiding place of the three and make sure it's locked with Council codes to protect them

"You never mentioned Master Qui-Gon"

"That's because he won't be with them, Anakin he'll be out of carbonite by the time the twins are five. He won't be with us immediately but when he showed us Palpatine I saw a vision in the Force that showed him helping two Jedi teach the twins what they need to know. I don't know when we'll be reunited either but from what I could tell he had been helping teach them for a few years at least"

"That's good to know, so he'll basically die before those three wake up"

"Exactly. The reason why he'll be out of carbonite is because while it won't be the safest he'll be safe enough. Plus he'll actually be needed initially where he's currently sleeping"

"So about six years before he wakes up"

"Exactly, the twins will be born at around the same time as last time"

"And Yavin?"

"Not sure about that at the moment but by that time it's likely"

"Too bad we won't really be able to save Alderaan, too dangerous even after 19 years"

"I know, we'll do what we can but Alderaan probably will still be destroyed"

"That's why everyone is already either on the new home planet or heading there soon"

"Well we still have about three months before the decisive day"

"I look forward to it"

Finally that day arrived and things started out like before but those in the know were waiting for Palpatine to make his move knowing about the extra clones

"Execute Order 66"

"Yes sir"

With that the clones that had volunteered for that duty pretended to kill their Jedi Generals and made sure that the clones not from Kamino didn't discover that the Jedi were in fact actually alive. Once the Jedi Generals were given the all clear they made their way to Tython while the Republic became an Empire. Padme would actually give birth to the twins on Tython with Anakin's family there

"Congratulations Anakin"

"Thanks Owen"

"Shmi would have enjoyed seeing this, grandchildren being born"

"Indeed she would have"

Obi-wan and Anakin have a brief talk through the Force bond

*And this time you get to see them grow up instead of me having to hide them from you by giving Leia to Bail and Luke to Owen *

*Indeed things are definitely turning out differently this time *

"What now?"

"It will take time but eventually we are going to form a Rebel Alliance that will take down the Empire"

"But another enemy the Jedi must first take care of"

"This is going to take a long fight but this time we have the clones on our side"

"But still we're going to lose a lot of friends due to their sacrifice"

"Indeed we will, but they'll also do their best to keep the people safe and hopefully by the time any active fighting is taking place they'll either be here or on Ossus if they haven't been killed. Those that don't manage to escape the active fighting will do what they can behind enemy lines"

"Hopefully it won't be noticed that they don't age like normal clones do"

"Don't worry Anakin they've already taken care of that themselves...or at least they will have soon enough"

"If you say so Obi-wan"

"So what now?"

"Now we have to defeat the greater evil before nineteen years are up hopefully"

It would turn out it would take fifteen years to defeat the greater evil but finally they could focus all their efforts on taking Palpatine down. Meanwhile on the new planet that the Alderaanians had claimed for themselves things were going okay, and for good reason. Years after the Empire rose up many forms of self defense were forgotten and considered a lost art, but on a planet that while not exactly hidden but not easily accessible that wasn't the case Bail Organa Senator of Alderaan and presumed dead shortly after the beginning of the Empire was the only Master of Kor Soth Let and continued it's practice to that day. One day a few people were on the planet and he himself was out and about in civilian clothing when suddenly one of the people decided to attack him only for the punch to be blocked. The person attacked again only to have the punch blocked once more, soon enough a fight was ensued and Bail ultimately won

"How did you do that?"

"It's called Kor Soth Let and I am a master"

"All the styles of defense unless you're part of the Imperial forces have died out"

"That's not true here, I may be the only Kor Soth Let master but there are those studying under me and I made this place a refuge for those who study the martial arts"

Another person speaks up

"He speaks the truth, we can safely practice our form of self defense without worries, we even hold annual tournaments not only to promote our different styles but as a way to remember those who were lost"

"Though I actually started the tournaments for another reason which I will not get into quite yet"

"Either way self defense is not dead"

"Can...can we learn true self defense?"

"Of course, just come to the different dojo's at some point and decide which ones would be most suited for you"

"We will"

But suddenly before they could leave an Imperial ship managed to find them and the people on that ship started attacking and those that could fight started to fight when suddenly one of the people that attacked Bail simply shoved his hand in front of him and made three people fly

"What did I just do?"

"Talk later fight now"

Afterwords Bail retreated and contacted Tython explaining the situation and five hours later a few Jedi came and talked to the person in private ultimately having him begin his training

"Okay I think now's the time to explain the annual tournaments are meant as training to ultimately defeat the Empire"

"We can do that"

And so slowly but surely they start working on bringing down the Empire as part of the Rebel Alliance. The Alliance would win at the same time period as last time but with more Jedi surviving. The Republic was made the New Republic and order was quickly restored and clones no longer made. Many forgot the terrible Empire over time which was what was wanted and then 200 years after the Empire was taken down Ashoka, Rex and Cody were woken up due to both a cure for Ashoka's disease being discovered and the fact that they were needed. The three were extremely close to each other and relied on each other to defend themselves at times but it was understood, they were from a time lost to history. Eventually the trouble that woke the three up was settled and they themselves settled into a routine. Ashoka eventually became Grand Master of the Jedi Order while Cody and Rex remained part of the Army for many years until they eventually retired becoming police officers of Coruscant and actually dying in the line of duty. Ahsoka died only three years later herself defending younglings on an outing and one of the Jedi explained things the best

"It's the end of an era"

For it was indeed an end of an era with the three from the original Clone Wars dead and they too eventually passed into legend along with others. But in the Jedi Order somehow it was never forgotten that the peace in the galaxy would never have happened if three Jedi and one Senator weren't sent back to the past
