"Remember, Ahsoka." Anakin said as he walked his padawan to her ship. "You're going to be investigating this mystery alone. Don't do anything reckless or stupid or crazy." Ahsoka looked ahead, until her eyes found her transport ship.
"So, basically, don't do anything that you would do?" She confirmed. Anakin threw her an annoyed look, but was relieved that she seemed to get the gist. "Don't worry, Master. I have ten troops with me, plus we don't even know if these things are real." The objective of the mission was to investigate the opening of portals in deep space. They were a myth really, but some "occurrences" have caused the Jedi to think otherwise.
Anakin didn't like the idea of his padawan going on this mission. Her opinions on the matter were the complete opposite. Excitement flooded her when she received this assignment. Yes, the occurrences were most likely just rumors, but still, this was her first mission independent from her master.
On the other hand, this was her first mission without her master. She would be commanding this alone. Butterflies formed in her stomach. If I want to be a Jedi, she thought, I have to start working on my own at some point.
"Well, here we are." Ahsoka said, doing her best to keep her voice calm. She began to climb up the steps of the ship. "Remember." Anakin repeated, referencing his previous orders. "I'll see you in a few days." Ahsoka nodded, said good bye, and the ship flew away.
The mission started out pretty boring. There was nothing to do for the first four hours of the flight. She really just hung out with the clones for a while. After those four excruciatingly dull hours, they were at their destination. More hours passed, they kept look out for "tremors" as the mission file had described them, but they found nothing. They were quite literally in the middle of no where.
"Commander Tano!" A clone's panicked voice called. "An enemy ship just came out of hyperspace!" Ahsoka, who had been reclining in her seat almost fell out when she heard the news. "What?!" The clone's news was confirmed as the ship rocked and took damage from heavy fire.
Ahsoka looked out of the window and saw a medium sized separatist ship drifting closer and shooting. "Commander!" Another clone yelled. "They've disabled out hyperdrive!" Ahsoka's breath began to come out in short shallow bursts. She forced her panic down, she had to focus. "Aim for their guns." She instructed. The clones did as they were told, but they were brutally outmatched.
"It's no use," A clone said. We need to evacuate the ship." They all reported to escape pods, Ahsoka was in one alone due to the number of passengers versus the number of escape pods. In one minute, the ship was devoid of life as it exploded under enemy fire.
Some pods got shot down, others drifted away. Ahsoka's drifted until one of those "tremors," that was mentioned earlier, tore a hole through space. "What the-?" Ahsoka began upon seeing the stars, sky, and empty space in front of her torn open as though it were paper. In a bright flash of light, everything changed. There was a moment of complete breathlessness. Where Ahsoka felt like she had forgotten how to breath. That moment ended, and so began a new moment where the pod was in an atmosphere and was falling to the ground fast.
The pod built up speed as it fell until it reached terminal velocity. Ahsoka sat in the only seat provided in the tiny pod, strapped herself in, and braced for impact. The impact came, and when it came, it came hard.
So? What do you think? Should I continue with this? Please Review!
