"Greetings. Understand, I do. That things to share, you all have," he said, sitting in his chair.

The discussion went around the room. Anakin admitted that he was married to Padme for 3 years and that they were days away from adding two more to the family. Trace and Rafa said that their parents were killed by a ship crashing into their home, guided by two Jedi, one of them happened to be Ahsoka. Ahsoka, going last, took a moment to decide what to say.

"Recently, I had a meeting with the Chancellor to make changes to the Coruscant Underworld. The darkside of the Force was thick in the Chancellor's office. I fell unconscious and was admitted to the hospital for electrocution. It is my belief that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord."

"Know this, how many people do?" Yoda asked. Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka raised their hands.

"As you know, I am close with the Chancellor. He has told me multiple Sith Legends."

"A possibility, this may be."

"I tried to gather more evidence before presenting before the council, but my leg was severely injured, prohibiting any further investigation."

"When the Chancellor was here, the Force was screaming at me, something was wrong. Then, you got injured."

"Away from the Chancellor, you must go," Yoda said. "For the safety of your family."

"That was another reason we wanted to meet with you. Padme is due any day now. I would like to travel with her to Naboo. It will be a temporary stay and we should be back within a week."

"Go, you must. Keep the Chancellor busy, I will."

"Thank you, Master," the three Jedi bowed as they showed him out.

"Unfortunately, I cannot go with you. Someone has to control the 501st and the 107th while you're gone," Obi-Wan explained.

"M-My battalion?" Ahsoka asked.

"Congratulations, General. Would you like to meet your people before we leave?"

"Of course!" Ahsoka said. They hobbled to the speeder and set course for the Jedi Temple Hangar.

"They're in the Hangar?" Ahsoka asked, shaking.

"Hey, it's alright. It wasn't your fault. It never was your fault. The Hangar is fixed and everyone who survived the blast is okay." The speeder landed. They all turned to attention.

"Rex! Vod'ika!" she said, collapsing into him.

"I had Rex transferred here. Figured you could use your captain. And don't worry about me, I still have Appo," Anakin explained.

"Is anyone else from the 501st here?"

"No, I don't think so. Echo joined the Bad Batch, but they're a part of this Battalion, too."

"Oh, wonderful. I get to see Crosshair's lovely face every day!" she rolled her eyes.

"Shut up!" one of the clones cried from the back.

"Congratulations, both of you," Rex saluted.

"We had better get going if we're going to make it to Naboo by midday. Can you keep the boys organized for a week?"

"I'll try my best!" he said, wishing them off.

"Can we visit the 501'st now? I'll miss them," Ahsoka asked.

"Sure, but don't stay too long. We have to make it by midday," Anakin said, steering the vehicle down. Ahsoka hopped out and pressed the comm.

"Entry codes, please?" a clone asked.
