Hello Everyone! Due to recent requests, I finally decided to update this one. Thanks for the motivation, guys! I wrote this kinda fast because I'm leaving on vacation soon and I really wanted to get a chapter up, so sorry if there are lots of errors. Since I'll be on vacation, I probably won't update for a week maybe. So enough of that, here ya go(:
Chapter 3
Ahsoka stayed in the control room with General Rieekan to help with whatever she could. Luke was still trying to get back on his feet and Han and Chewie were working on the Millennium Falcon. Ahsoka paced around the room looking at different computer screens. Everyone in the alliance was scanning computers to pick up any signs of an Imperial attack in the near feature.
Ahsoka walked near one computer and noticed something, and so did the operator. "Sir, there's a fleet of Stardestroyers coming out of hyperspace in Sector Four."
"Reroute all power to the energy shield," the general paused, "We gotta hold them till all transports are away. Any suggestions, Master Tano?"
The Jedi thought carefully to herself, "By the looks of it, they are planning a ground assault. If they were attacking the planet's surface they would've came out of hyperspace further from the planet so we wouldn't detect them."
The General looked at her seriously and nodded. He then turned to a commander, "Prepare for ground assault."
"General, I'll head down the hanger and help the princess." He nodded and without another word, Ahsoka left the room and dashed to the hanger. People were running everywhere in the base trying to prepare for battle. She ran into and nudged a lot of people in the narrow icy halls, but finally found Leia talking to some pilots.
"All troop carriers will assemble at the north entrance. The heavy transport ships will leave as soon as they're loaded. Only two fighter escorts per ship. The energy shield can only be opened for a short time, so you'll have to stay very close to your transports."
One pilot was surprised at the princess's plan, "Two fighters against a Stardesstroyer?"
Leia continued, "The ion cannon will fire several shots to make sure that any enemy ships will be out of tour flight path. When you've gotten past the energy shield proceed directly to the rendezvous point. Understood?" all the pilots around her nodded. "Good luck." Everyone dispersed.
"Are you flying a fighter, Ahsoka?" Leia noticed her presents.
Ahsoka shook her head, "I prefer a straight up fight rather than flying around in a fighter," she patted her lightsabers with a grin on her face.
Leia didn't grin back though, she just looked really focused and stressed out. "Okay then, I'll be in the control room. See you after the battle," and she walked away.
Ahsoka joined the other troops outside the base. Everyone was loading weapons and climbing down into trenches. Ahsoka thought there hasn't been an actual fight in a long time. It kind of reminded her of the Clone Wars. Over the com link she heard the general, "Prepare to open shield." She watched the transport and the two fighters blast out of the hanger. She heard a women's voice, "Stand by Ion control. Fire." Ahsoka was crossing her fingers they made it. Seconds later she heard, "The first transport is away," and numerous cheers.
Outside, Ahsoka spotted something in the distance. "Look!" She pointed off into the horizon and other soldiers turned to look. The Jedi took the binoculars around her neck, and so did the commander. She scanned whatever she was looking at. She had never seen anything like that. "What are those, commander?" She continued to look at the huge metal monsters.
"Imperial AT-AT walkers," he said gently, but still in shock. He quickly took out his com link, "Echo Station Three-T-Eight, we've spotted Imperial Walkers." He then turned back to Ahsoka, "We'll be in the fight of our lives."
"Can't wait," Ahsoka said, with zero sarcasm. She was excited; there hasn't been a big battle for a while.
All of sudden, the walkers were within shooting range. Shots were fired and everyone ducked. Ahsoka thought to herself, How are we gonna take this suckers down? Luke's voice came onto the com, "Echo Station Five-Seven. We're on our way." The fighters whooshed past their heads as they came to help fight. The fighters flew past them multiple times, shooting everything they got, and the walkers weren't taking any damage. Soldiers at Ahsoka's side were falling like flies. Ahsoka was blocking shots with her lightsabers, but nothing was helping. The fighters were being shot down left and right.
They have to have a weakness of some kind, Ahsoka thought. "Luke! Tell the other fighters to use harpoons and tow cables around the legs. Make them trip! "Over the universal com, she heard Luke repeated the same thing to all of Rogue Squadron.
Cannons still fired at them and so did the soldiers, Ahsoka watched the fighters use the cables, hoping her idea would work. She watched as one fighter looped around the legs, then let go. The walker tried to continue on, but it couldn't. It fell straight on its knees. "Yes!" Ahsoka yelled. "Keep it up!" However, Ahsoka didn't they could. More cannons were blowing up and the walkers were getting closer to the main generator. They were losing fighters fast.
All troops were beginning to evacuate. Everyone was retreating into the base. Ahsoka was supposed to go to her own X-Wing and so was Luke, so they could travel to Dagobah. "Commander, do you and your men still have a transport ready?"
"Yes we do, Master Tano. We are all set, you've gotta go." Ahsoka nodded at the commander and ran into the base. She zig zaged throughout the halls to get to her ship. All of sudden, she stopped when she heard something of the speakers, "Imperial troops have entered the base. Imperial troops have-," then there was static.
Ahsoka cursed under her breath, now she had to be stealthy. She would definitely be out numbered since all most all the troops have left. The Jedi was just about there when she saw Imperial troops between her and her ship. They were firing at the falcon. They should've already left! She thought. Ahsoka had to buy Han more time to bet that bucket of bolts running. She activated her green light saber and ignited it, without wasting another second, she flung the lightsaber like a boomerang, it took out about six or seven troopers. The remaining ones turned to her to open fire. With Ahsoka's distraction, the Falcon finally started to run and it blasted out of the hanger. Within in two minutes, she took out all of the troops in the hanger.
Ahsoka turned for her ship but a sound of an activated lightsaber stopped her. She stopped and turned to see the Sith Lord, Darth Vader standing in the way. The Jedi took out her lightsabers once again and activated them. "Here for a rematch?" She challenged the Sith.
"I've already won," the deep mechanic voiced said. Ahsoka charged at him and slashed at him. He blocked each one easily. Ahsoka put more force between each one, trying her very hardest. I can end this Empire right now, she thought to herself. "Give yourself to the dark side," he said, "I can feel your anger towards me." Ahsoka continued to push against him.
"Looking for me?" Ahsoka took a quick glance at what was left of the entrance to the hanger.
"Luke!" Ahsoka retreated towards him.
"Skywalker." Vader said as he walked towards them.
"We have to leave, now! There is no way to win against him." She paused for a minute. Get to your ship!"
"What about you?" Luke asked.
"Don't worry," she paused for a split second, "Activate your light saber, pretend you want to fight. But on my mark head to your ship. You hear me? Head to your ship," She whispered to him. Luke did what he was told; he was now holding his blue lightsaber in his hand. Ahsoka looked at Vader to see if he was gonna make a move. Vader did the same. Ahsoka bolted to at him with her lightsaber, "NOW!" Luke ran towards his transport. Ahsoka used the force to push Vader far back, so he hit the wall on the opposite end. The Jedi then ran to her X-Wing next to Luke's. They both jumped in and blasted out of the hanger, not looking back.
Thanks again everyone for the following me, this story, favorting, and reviewing!:)
