A Jeweled Rose In Clone Wars

Part 16

(RUBY)

She made something in memory for all of the people she couldn't save, and she watched all the videos she could on the loss of the 212th. Ruby noticed that most of the losses were not the fault of the fighters, but their leaders were incompetent. "It is a wonder how anyone has survived," Ruby mumbled to herself as she read the report in disgust.

(ON CATO NEIMOIDIA)

Ruby was with her Master, and they were fighting what seemed to be a pointless battle. All she did was fighting what seemed to be an endless sea of droids, just trying to protect her men. One time a bunch of buzz droids attacked a ship and she was forced to jump on the vessel to kill all of them. They were obviously losing and she even heard that Anakin was nearly killed. In a way, she was relieved that Master Yoda called about something being urgent since she could finally pull out her men. However, she was also worried about what had happened at the Jedi Temple because it was bombed.

(BACK ON CORUSCANT)

Ruby had been delayed because she couldn't just pull out her troops, and they were unable to leave until a day later when they were first called. However, they were able to win versus the Separatists. Ruby and Obi-Wan landed onto the landing bay to the temple and they were greeted by Mace Windu.

"Obi-Wan we need you at the council more than ever, "Mace said, he turned to Ruby and looked at her, "You are to go to where the suspect is being held, and Ahsoka will meet you there. You are well known for being peacefully able to solve problems, and you know Ahsoka so you might be able to tell us why Ahsoka was requested to come there."

"Okay," she nodded, and she took another ship to the prison cell. On her way there she felt something in the force, and it wasn't good. Ruby put her hand on her head as she felt that Ahsoka was in trouble and that she needed to get there quickly. When she walked into the prison, she was met with a bunch of clones.

"State your business," the commander said.

"I am Jedi Padawan Ruby Rose. I was assigned to interrogate the prisoner with another Jedi Padawan named Ahsoka Tano," Ruby said, "I can tell something wrong happened, but I don't know what."

"Ahsoka Tano killed the prisoner," the clone said hesitantly.

"What?!?" Ruby said in confusion, she sighed trying to stay calm, "Do you have any proof?"

"Yes, she was seen force-choking the culprit," he said.

"I would like a copy of the evidence," Ruby said.

"I can't do that," the commander said, "Admiral Tarkin said-"

"This is also Jedi business," she said, "I am required to get my hands on this proof... Unless you and the admiral are trying to hide something for me."

"No ma'am," the clone said, "I will immediately give you the recording."

"I will be communicating with the Jedi Order about this shocking revelation," she said with a sigh, "If anything happens you will inform me." The commander nodded and Ruby went into a different room.

"Masters I have received disturbing information about the bombing of the Jedi Temple," Ruby said as calmly as she could, "Apparently Ahsoka was seen force choking the prisoner. I am getting a video recording of what happened, and Ahsoka is being held in this very prison."

"Disturbing this is," Yoda said, "Know why Ahsoka would do such a thing?"

"I can't believe that lil'Soka fell to the dark side," Plo-Koon replied, "Why would she do such a thing."

"With all due respect Masters," Ruby said bitterly, "We don't have proper evidence yet that Ahsoka committed the crime. For all, we know she could have been framed. That is why I am asking permission to see her."
