Star Wars: Phantom Alliance

Episode 4: New Journey

Ahsoka, Maul, and Rex fly in space a great distance away from Coruscant. Fleeing to the Mid Rim world Bogano. Ahsoka had set in the group coordinates and Maul made sure that he landed next to them. They land on an open land of grassy plains. Maul: "Why did you flee to this world?"

Ahsoka ignores Maul. Maul: "Come on, I need your help to kill Sidious. If you care anything about Anakin, you KNOW why you HAVE to do THIS!"

Ahsoka kicks Maul in the stomach and he rolls back three feet. Maul activates his lightsaber and Rex shouts, "Enough!" Maul and Ahsoka briefly stop. Rex: "If we go our separate ways so be it. Maul, killing or being killed by us would make no difference for your plans to stop Sidious. In fact, they would help Sidious. I'm with whatever Ahsoka wants."

Ahsoka: "Then yes, we will go our separate ways."

Maul: "Please.... If we do not kill Sidious then he will not stop until we are brutally extinguished." Ahsoka halts, knowing Maul would not say please unless he is in absolute desperation. She wonders why Maul has so much fear of him, but Sidious must be pretty bad if he manipulated Anakin in such a way.

Ahsoka takes a deep breath and says, "Fine, I will end this. Since I agreed to work with you and it cost me THIS MUCH, I owe it to Anakin to see it through. To try my best to stop Sidious."

Maul: "Together, we WILL stop Sidious. But you have to believe." Maul says this while launching his fist in the air.

Ahsoka: "Ok, but if I am playing along then I have my own condition."

Maul: "What is it?"

Ahsoka: "We must work with the jedi."

Maul: "No, the jedi are too incompetent to help us. Did you not just see how we saved them from total annihilation? They will still be shiftless, complacent, and arrogant."

Ahsoka: "I don't need the help and approval of the whole order. I am just asking two old friends."

In the Days of Darkness

Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda are in a meeting room on Polis Massa. They are both sitting at a table and looking outside at the vast area that is space. Obi wan: "Yoda, did you hear Ahsoka wants to send us both a private message?"

Yoda: "Indeed, but share this with the new council we must. If our order is to preserve its old unity and cohesion."

Obi wan: "That's what I wonder about. Perhaps we should just let that go. I think Ahsoka will want us to act quickly and deliberately."

Yoda takes a deep breath and chirps, "Hmmm, a difficult time this is. Meditate on these matters I shall, after the meeting is done."

Ahsoka appears on a hologram in the center of the table. Ahsoka: "Masters".

Kenobi: "Hi Ahsoka, you're looking, well."

Ahsoka: "Don't lie to me Obi wan."

Kenobi: "I know, Anakin's loss has been difficult. I felt it in the force. I am not sure how I am going to deal with it. I've failed him and therefore I've failed you too. I'm sorry."

Ahsoka: "No, you were a great master. You couldn't have known."

Obi wan: "I'm sorry, I don't believe that. Why didn't he trust me? Why didn't he tell me what was bothering him?" Kenobi puts his hand on his forehead as he looks down in regret.

Ahsoka: "Anakin has, had.... He had a habit of shutting out the ones he loved when things got difficult. He didn't have enough trust."

Yoda: "Lacked faith, he did!"
