Galaxy of War || A clone wars fanfiction

Chapter 27

I'm standing outside the door of the briefing room waiting for my master to be finished. Something about Master Piell, who has information about some new and undiscovered hyperspace lane called the Nexus Route, has been captured by the Separatist. He's in one of the most protected and deadly detention facilities. More than that I don't know. Finally the doors open and my master, accompanied by Anakin and Master Plo, walks out.

"Masters," I bow, "may I join you?"

My master hides a small grin at my request. He knows that the only reason I'm asking is because I want in on the mission.

"Of course, Padawan Lora," Master Plo answers before going back into their previous conversation. "Based on the archive schematics, we've narrowed it down to three possible locations they could be holding him at."

"My greatest concern is infiltrating their outer security. The life-form scanners will not be easy to fool," my master voices his concerns.

"If I may interrupt, masters. I've been thinking about that while I was waiting, I might have an idea on how-" I try to tell them my idea but get interrupted by Ahsoka catching up.

"Master. I'm sorry I'm late. I just heard about the briefing. We're going to rescue Master Piell, right?" She asks. I wince as I know she's about to get rejected.

"You two have much to discuss," Master Plo says as my master gives Anakin a smirk. "In the meantime, Padawan Lora, what was your suggestion?"

We continue on our walk through the temple as I explain my idea. "So I was thinking, it might sound a little crazy. But you could... carbon-freeze."

Instantly the masters stop and look at me like I'm crazy. "Lora, I'm not sure that's a good idea."

"No, it's a good idea. With all due respect, master." I tell my master. I look to Master Plo for help.

"I think it could be a very possible idea," he says, making me sigh in relief.

"I was also thinking... that since that I now might have made the entire mission possible, that..."

"You want to come along," my master finishes my sentence. I do a half apologetic smile. "No way."

"What! Please," I beg Obi-Wan, he just crosses his arms and looks at me.

"It's way too dangerous. There's a high risk that none of us will make it out."

"Then let me come, I can lower those risks. You think it's better for me to sit here and worry if I still have a master or not? That if you die and don't make it out, you think it's better for me to blame myself for not pushing hard enough to at least die while fighting?"

He does a big sigh. "Fine! But only because I know that you will be careful and listen to me and my orders!" His voice sounds more like an order.

"Of course. I always do," I tell him with a smile.

"No you don't," I hear him mumble under his breath which makes Master Plo chuckle.

"Welcome to the mission, young Lora," Master Plo says.

"I just don't get it!" Ahsoka exclaims. "Why am I not allowed?"

"Ahsoka, Anakin explained it to you right before," I answer her as we walk through the temple gardens.

"Aren't you mad that you can't come?"

I slightly wince. She notices and narrows her eyes at me. "Lo, why are you looking like that?"
