True Colors: A Rexsoka Story

Chapter 8

A/N: Hey guys! There's going to be a lot of updates over the next few days since I have WAY too much time on my hands. On January 2nd, there won't be an update (I'm spending the day with extended family) and I'm going to try and get this book finished (there are 15 chapters in this book, including the prologue) and get started on book 2 before I go back to school on the 5th. 

Another week had passed, and Ahsoka had been asked to meet with Kanan on the Ghost, and away from the rebel fleet. She was meditating and had opened a Jedi Holocron that Kanan had lent her. Jax was with her since he had requested to come with her. In the Holocron, there was a hologram recording of Anakin, of one of the lightsaber technique videos he had recorded during the Clone Wars.

She heard the door open, and Ezra stepped inside, sitting across from her.

"Keeping your saber moving is key to deflecting The fire of multiple adversaries," Anakin said through the video. "Move in motion, one into the next, into the next, and so on. I've made some... adjustments to the classic form four techniques that I think you'll find work well against droids and other ranged attackers. Here, I'll show you," He ignited his saber, and deflected a shot. "One." He changed his position and deflected another blaster bolt. "Two. Three. Four. Five." Again and again, he deflected the bolts.

"He's amazing," Ezra commented. "I've watched these recordings to help me with my own saber training."

"You should have seen him in person," Ahsoka replied. She opened her eyes. "Anakin Skywalker. He was my master."

"Kanan said he was the greatest warrior the Jedi had in the Clone Wars," Ezra said in awe.

"He was powerful," Ahsoka said in agreement. "Rarely lost a battle. But what would have surprised people was how kind he was. He cared deeply about his friends, and looked out for them until the end."

"Rex said that he was the best General to fight under," Jax said. "But he doesn't know what happened to him."

"Practice these exercises mindfully, and you'll see improvement, I promise," Anakin said in the recording.

"Do you know what happened to him?" Ezra asked Ahsoka.

The hologram faded out, and the Holocron closed back again. "The last time I saw him he was rushing off to save the Chancellor," She sighed. "Then everything changed. The war ended, and the Jedi were accused of treason. One by one, they were hunted down."

"By the Inquisitors," Ezra said.

"Or worse," Ahsoka added grimly.

"Speaking of Inquisitors," Kanan said, entering the room. "Ahsoka, what do you think about us doing the hunting for a change?"

Ahsoka stood up. "When you defeated one, two more came. Who's to say we wouldn't multiply our problems yet again?"

"And there's Vader," Ezra added.

"I don't disagree," Kanan said. "But the fact remains that we can't protect our friends from Vader and his Inquisitors. I can barely protect you."

"I don't need protecting," Ezra said.

"It's times like these that Anakin and I would turn to someone like Obi-Wan, or Master Yoda. They always had the answer," She paused. "Well, almost always."

"Then maybe we should ask Master Yoda," Kanan said.

Ahsoka's eyes widened. Master Yoda is alive? She thought.

"What do you mean, 'we should ask Master Yoda'?" Jax asked. "I thought he was dead."

"He isn't," Ezra said. "When Kanan and I went to the Jedi Temple on Lothal, he spoke to me."
