Part 9

A few days had passed since Lux had chosen Ahsoka, and to Ahsoka, those days had been pure bliss. While they were still fighting a war, she was more relaxed. Her vision was no longer clouded and she could see everything clearly. This led to more precise attacks and higher performance on the field of battle. She almost forgot the fact that she was carrying a child at some points during the fighting.

When they weren't fighting on the battlefield or strategizing, Ahsoka and Lux would spend time alone in their now shared quarters. They would just lay on the best together watching a movie or something on the holo. Ahsoka would lay her head and montrals on Lux's chest and just rest there with Lux's arm around her. When they were in this cuddling position, Ahsoka felt safe, like nothing could hurt her. She felt invincible.

However, while Ahsoka and Lux's redound love didn't come with all positives. Steela had clearly not been at her best since Lux's decision. The once sharpshooting sniper, was now missing shot after shot, barely getting a hit. She tried to mask her pain when around others, but those who knew her well could tell something was off, and they knew why. Another adverse effect was Saw. He was pissed at Lux, and that made it tough for them to agree on tactic and get anything done. Saw knew he couldn't change how Lux felt, but what really irked him was how he led his little sister on that whole time, just to break her heart.

The feud between Lux and Saw had begun to split the rebels. Some stuck with Saw and some with Lux when they butted heads. They didn't know the real reason why, but this caused a lot of turmoil in the rebellion, and it was on the verge of collapsing. Saw had already gone against the advice of nearly everyone else and attempted to rescue King Dendup from captivity, which ended in him being captured, and nearly getting them all killed. Had it not been for Ahsoka defying the Council's orders, they all would've been killed. They had to flee their base in the city and set up camp in the Onderon Highlands, and this was a much less advantageous spot then their base in the city. For one, now they were cut off from the people and could not gain more support from them, and secondly the base was in the open, leaving them susceptible to air attacks, which had been giving them major problems. The aircraft the Separatists were using had shields that made it impossible to take them down using regular blasters.

Ahsoka was laying with Lux when she got a transmission. When she got out the holo-pad and answered the call, she saw the face of her Master and Obi-Wan. She quickly shoved Lux out of the bed, but it was too late.

"SNIPS YOU BETTER HAVE AN EXPLANATION FOR WHAT YOU AND MR. BONTERI WERE DOING IN A BED TOGETHER!" Anakin shouted angrily.

"Calm down Skyguy. We were just cuddling and watching a movie okay? Clothes are all still on this time," she moved the holo-pad to show her clothed body, "so you don't have to worry about anything alright?"

"Trust your padawan Anakin. I mean you taught her. I'm sure she wouldn't do anything you would do. I'm sure she's learned her lesson," Obi-Wan said.

"I sure hope she has," he said giving Ahsoka a look. "And don't you mean you're sure she wouldn't do anything I wouldn't do?"

"No, I meant what I said. I'm sure she wouldn't do anything you would do." Ahsoka had previously been trying to stifle her laugh, but could no longer after seeing the bewildered look on Anakin's face.

"Can Snips, you're the one that got pregnant."

"And Senator Amidala's not?" Ahsoka asked cocking an eyebrow. Lux, who had been silent the entire conversation let out an audible gasp, while Anakin's face went from one of triumph to one of surprise and anger.

"How do you know that?"

"Well, Anakin, you and Padme have not been the best at hiding your love," Obi-Wan interjected.

"No, no, I knew you guys knew about Padme and I, well at least I assumed you did, but how'd you know she was pregnant?"

"Easy, you just told me," Ahsoka said with a smirk. Anakin just looked at her dumbfounded while the usually stoic Obi-Wan Kenobi began to burst out in laughter.

"Oh she really got you on that one Anakin," Obi-Wan said bent over laughing.

Anakin's face contorted into a scowl. "Anyways... let's get to the reason for our call," Anakin suggested through gritted teeth.

"Yes, let's," Ahsoka replied. "I hope you have some good news for me."

"Well, yes and no," Obi-Wan said. "We have gotten you what you should need to take down the ships the Separatists are using, but we're not bringing them."

"What do you mean you're not bringing them? How is it getting here?" Ahsoka asked confused.

"Well, the council wouldn't allow us to interfere, so we had to get the weapons from—" Obi-Wan was cut off by the sound of a ship landing outside. Ahsoka sprung out of the bed and ran outside with Lux in tow. When she got outside, she saw an all too familiar ship. Looking back down at the holo-pad, she opened her mouth to say something, but was cut off by Obi-Wan. "Yes, it's him." Ahsoka groaned and rolled her eyes.

"Him? Who's him?" Lux asked. However, before anyone could answer, a man exited the ship.

"It is I! The great Hondo Onaka, bringing a gift just for you!" Ahsoka rolled her eyes.

"Master, why did it have to be him?"

"He was the only person with the weapons and ability to get to you," Anakin replied.

"Why so hostile child? I bring you what you need for your fight," Hondo said with fake hurt. Ahsoka huffed in annoyance. "Kenobi, my friend! Thank you for reaching out to me, I'm always happy to help a friend... for a fee."

"Yes, yes I know, you will receiver your payment shortly."

"Wonderful!" Hondo said clasping his hands together. Suddenly, blaster shots came wizzing by. Hondo jumped in fright and made his way back to his ship. "Oh my, look at the time. I must be going now. Until we meet again!" With that he boarded the ship and left, leaving the rebels to their fight.

"Quick, we need to distribute these launchers and take out those gunships," Steela commanded as everyone began to pass out the launchers. Saw, being his overeager self, upon receiving a launcher immediately took aim at a gunship and fired. The rocket traveled at insane speed and rammed into the side of the gunship, penetrating its shield and sending it crashing into the ground.

Saw chuckled upon seeing his handiwork. "Oh I love this." The rest of the rebels began to cheer triumphantly, but the battle was still not won. It was one ship out of many, and they still had thousands of battle droids to worry about.

Suddenly, Steela got a message over her comm, "Steela, they're attacking the nest. They're after the king!"

Steela gasped. "Come on!" She waved for Ahsoka and Lux to follow them as she climbed atop her Ruping. Ahsoka and Lux followed, boarding their own Ruping.

By the time they had made it back to the Nest, nearly everyone guarding the base had been killed, save the King and his 2 guards, and the entire base was in flames. Steela immediately jumped into action, using her launcher to take down the gunship, while Ahsoka and Lux helped the guards with the few ground units that were at the base.

King Dendup had been cornered on the edge of a cliff, with a battle droid closing in. Steela had to use her blaster this time and took out the droid just before it could force the king over the edge.

"Are you alright, Your Majesty?" Steela asked him.

"Thanks to you," he replied with a smile.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Saw and the remaining rebels were finishing off the Separatist army, only a fraction of the droids remained, and nearly all the gunships had been taken down thanks to their new weapons. Saw was barking out orders for the ground units and telling the troops when to shoot their launchers.

Finally, there was just one gunship remaining. "Last ones mine," he said confidently and shot his rocket. It was a direct hit, sending the ship spinning out of control. He raised his fist in victory, but little did he know, it's trajectory put it right on line with the ledge Steela and King Dendup were on.

Steela was the first to see it and her eyes went wide. "Get down!" She shouted as she grabbed the king by the shoulders and pulled him to the ground with her. It hit the ledge directly in front of them and flipped over, landing near Lux and Ahsoka, the pair also nearly escaping being crushed.

Suddenly, the ledge that Dendup and Steela were on began to crack. Steela pushed the king back onto solid ground, and tried to make the jump herself, but the ledge had already called too much. She grabbed onto the side of the mountain, but her grip was quickly slipping. Lux slip down to try to grab her, but she was too far away and his arms couldn't reach her. He leaned too far forward and fell over the edge. In a panic Ahsoka used the force to grab him and pull him back to safety, setting him down safely behind her. She then turned her attention to Steela. Though they didn't get along too well, and she knew Steela was still not happy that Lux chose Ahsoka over her, Ahsoka didn't want her to die. That wasn't the Jedi way, even if she had already broken the code a lot, that was one thing she thought the council was right about.

Ahsoka used the force to begin to lift Steela up. "I got you!" Ahsoka said through gritted teeth. She was tired from battling and her strength had been drained, but she fought through the pain to bring Steela back up to safety.

Suddenly, Ahsoka heard a gunshot behind her and whipped her head around, to see that the fallen gunship was not yet out of commission and had sent a shot flying towards her. It was like time slowed down. Ahsoka immediately took one of her hands from lifting up Steela, and used it to freeze the bullet in place. She used every ounce of her strength to make an attempt to pull Steela up, but with her energy dwindling, she could not do it with one hand. Ahsoka continued to grit her teeth and use every ounce of strength she had to pull Steela back to safety, when she began to glow white and float. Lux stared at her in shock and awe, while Steela just look completely flabbergasted. Whatever was happening, gave Ahsoka the strength to pull Steela back up, and send the blaster bold shooting back towards the fallen gunship at breakneck pace.

Once Steela had been returned to safety, however, the light faded and Ahsoka fell back to the ground in a heap. Lux quickly rushed over to her and picked her up in his arms. "Ahsoka, Ahsoka, please be okay!" Lux pleaded shaking her in an attempt to wake her up. Suddenly, he saw her chest rise and fall, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is she?" Steela asked.

"Well she's alive and breathing. Whatever that was must have drained her energy pretty much dry," Lux replied.

"Yeah, what was that?"

"I-I don't know. She never mentioned this or has done this before, not in front of me at least. I guess we'll have to ask her when she wakes up." Steela just nodded in response and turned to walk back to the base. Lux picked Ahsoka up bridal style and began to follow Steela back to the base to get Ahsoka the treatment she needed. Lux looked down at his hopefully just passed out girlfriend and kissed her gently on her montral. "Please be okay 'Soka," he muttered under his breath.
