Galaxy of War || A clone wars fanfiction

Chapter 52

I wake up with alarms blaring and flashing red. "What?" I mumble to myself and wince as my head hurts when I try to stand up. I see clones laying on the ground unconscious. Are they dead? What happened? I barely remember anything right now. Ahsoka.

"Commander Caran," one of the clones runs to me and helps me up.

"What happened?" I ask him while trying to see clearly. I'm so confused right now.

He hesitates for a second. "Commander Tano escaped. She has already killed three clones." She would never do that.

My eyes widen. "What!" I leave the room and the clones behind. I sprint through the halls, ignoring my body screaming at me to stop. I'm not sure where I'm going, but if the alarms are still going, she hasn't left the grounds. Maybe I can still help her. How would I even help her? Around a corner, my body collides with someone.

"Lora?" Anakin? I look up and see him looking down at me. "What are you doing here?"

"I don't know what happened, where is Ahsoka?" I ask him.

"Come on," he tells me and we continue through the halls. I'm not sure what to think right now. I know it's not her, especially after what happened right before I passed out. Someone knocked me out cold. But who? I know it, but how do I get others to believe her? She's somewhere around running for her life. We end up outside with Rex by our side. "What's going on?" Anakin asks Commander Fox and his men that's standing outside.

"We've found her," he answers. "She's heading towards the industrial pipeline."

Anakin starts to move. "Set weapons to stun. I want her alive!" We sprint in the direction of the pipeline as quickly as we can. Please let her be okay. As gunships fly over our heads, my fear for her life grows. "Do not shoot to kill. Do not shoot to kill!" Anakin keeps repeating over the comlink. "Try to box her in. Don't let her escape." I just really hope that she doesn't think that we're not on her side. The gunships stop moving further ahead and their clones rappel down from the ship. That's how I know they have her. I somehow get there before Anakin does, having taken a shorter route.

"Ahsoka," I gasp for air as I see her.

She sees me and her eyes are panicked. "Lora, I didn't do it."

I nod again and again. "I know. I believe you. I know it wasn't you." Anakin comes up beside me. We don't move against her. She looks around before during a high jump and landing on one of the pipes.

"Ahsoka!" Anakin yells after her. She's scared. And she has a good right to be. There's multiple gunships pointing deadly guns at her, dozens of clones aiming for her life. I want to tell her everything will be okay if she just comes with us, but I don't want to lie to her. If I were her, I would run as well. She carves a hole in the pipe and jumps down. By the time I get down into the pipe. She has already disappeared. The disgusting water underneath my feet splashes everywhere, soaking through my boots.

"Have you seen her?" Anakin catches up with me. I sadly shake my head. He sighs before closing his eyes and concentrating. He begins moving and as he turns a corner, Rex and I follow him. We follow him blindly as he leads us through the tunnels. I can feel we're getting closer. We lose Rex somewhere, not that I really care. He'll find us somehow anyway. He always does.

"Ahsoka, what are you doing?" I hear Anakin say. I look back and see that he has turned another corner. I run back and turn as well. I stop in my tracks as I see Ahsoka standing on the edge of the pipeline, looking like she's about to leap down to the lower of Coruscant. I slowly walk closer. She notices me and looks at me with tears in her eyes.
