Chapter V - The Beginning

Ahsoka awoke in a dark and cold room, it didn't had any windows, was really small and had dark stone walls and a metal door. "Ugh." Ahsoka groaned and rubbed her back-lekku which hurt from Bane's hit earlier. How much time had passed ? Where was Master Anakin? Did Bane get the flash drive? Many questions swirled in her head when she heard the metal door open. She stood up as Bane and one of the magna guards entered the small room.

"So we meet again little Togruta." Bane said in his rough voice and grinned.

"What a pleasure." Ahsoka snapped sarcastically. Bane just laughed and came closer but Ahsoka didn't move back, she wasn't afraid of the bounty hunter. " What do you want from me anyways?"

"You see youngling, I found a better way to get the information my customer wants." He smiled. " Oh it will be fun working with you."

" Well, I would tell your customer he should look for a better bounty hunter the next time he wants someone to get something. It seems like you can't even manage to steal a flash drive."

Bane made a quick gesture with his hand and the magna guard stepped forward and stabbed Ahsoka in the ribs with its electro-staff. Electric shocks zapped her body. When the droid removed the staff the small Togruta was curled on the floor, panting.

Bane was smiling. " You will tell me everything you know about the plans for the new base." he said.

" Sorry to disappoint you but uh nope, not gonna happen." Ahsoka pressed between gritted teeth. The next load electro shocks hit her and she pressed her lips together to keep herself from screaming.

"Don't worry youngling, you will." With that Bane and the droid left the room.

When Ahsoka heard the door closing, she curled up against the wall and closed her eyes. Her ribs hurt where the electro-staff had stabbed her. She wouldn't tell Bane anything! She couldn't mess this up, not again, not after her last mission.. She hoped that her master was looking for her though..

Bane was annoyed by the snippy little Togruta. It also annoyed him that he didn't get the flash drive and had to use the youngling now to get at the information. When he contacted Count Dooku he was still pissed about the circumstances.

"Did you get the flash drive?" Dooku asked as soon as his hologram showed up.

"No." Bane answered but kept talking before the Count could interrupt him, " But I got Skywalker's pet and Hadlo said that they both took a look at the information on that flash drive."

"So you're planning to get what we need out of that child." Dooku said and crossed his arms, his expression not revealing what he thought. It wasn't a question either and Bane waited till he continued speaking.

"Do what you have to do, but do not kill her.. We might still need her, and Bane.." Dooku said, his hologram fading, " Do not take forever. Sidious does not like to wait." With that his hologram-self vanished.
