A/N: Hello, Miss Singing in the Rain here! So, this is the final chapter in the "Tanya Trilogy." This is the Fan Fiction that Cartoon Network refused to post my most recent chapters of and the Fan Fiction that led me to create an account here. I hope you enjoy it and please review!

The Final Battle: Part 1
Tanya paced back-and-forth on the bridge of her ship, the Liberty. Every once in a while, she'd stare out into space (literally), searching anxiously for a Jedi shuttle that should have arrived. "Commander, a Jedi shuttle just came out of hyperspace and is docking, as we speak," Captain Mec informed her, interrupting her deep thought.
"Very good, Captain," Tanya responded, looking up and turning to watch the door. Moments later, Ahsoka Tano and her Master, Anakin Skywalker arrived on the bridge. "Ahsoka," Tanya exclaimed, rushing over to greet her friend.
"Tanya," Ahsoka replied, just as enthusiastically. "It's been so long. How are you?"
"Never better," Tanya said. Ahsoka frowned, unconvinced. Her eyes scanned over Tanya's tired looking face and the dark circles under her eyes.
"Really?" Ahsoka asked. "Because you definitely look like you could use some rest."
"Oh," Tanya realized, rubbing her eyes like she was trying clear the dark circles from under her eyes. "I'll explain that later. Right now we have more important matters to deal with." Tanya then turned to Anakin, bowed, and said, "It's good to see you again, Master Skywalker."
Anakin smiled before saying, "It's good to see you too, Tanya."
Tanya turned back to Ahsoka, telling her, "Now we're just waiting for a few more Jedi to arrive before we begin the briefing."
"I'm guessing that Barriss will be coming with us," Ahsoka assumed.
"Indeed," a familiar voice said behind them. Ahsoka and Tanya turned to see Barriss and her Master, Luminara Unduli, standing behind them. Ahsoka and Tanya went over to greet them, while trying to keep their welcome strictly professional.
"Barriss, it's wonderful to see you. I'm so sorry that we weren't able to say good-bye after our last mission together and I hope that your injuries healed up alright," Tanya greeted her, bowing her head.
"Thank you, Tanya. I'm very glad to see you too, and that my injuries are gone. Hopefully, none of us will get any serious injuries like in our last missions together," Barriss told them.
"I believe that's the reason I'm here. I think Master Yoda wants me to try and keep you three out of trouble, considering your past missions together," someone said behind them. They turned to see a Mon Calamari female Jedi knight, wearing traditional Jedi robes. Tanya immediately stepped forward and bowed to the Jedi.
"It's good to see you, Master Li. How is Zana?" Tanya inquired. "And for the record, we don't mean to get into trouble. Trouble usually finds us." Master Li smiled at her.
"It's nice to see you again, Tanya. Zana is very well, but she unfortunately had a mission on Felucia due to wartime shortages of Jedi. But, she wishes that she could be here and wanted me to greet you for her," Master Li told Tanya. Tanya got up from her bow and introduced Master Li to the Jedi.
"Everyone this is Master Ocia Li. She is a very accomplished Jedi knight and Jedi Master of my friend, Zana Quince." Once everyone had greeted her, Tanya said, "Now, for the mission."
A/N: For everyone who doesn't know what a Mon Calamari is, it's the same species as Admiral Ackbar and Nahdar Vebb.
