Before we begin, I just want to say that this arc, in this book, will start off with Ahsoka being framed, and will also include, as per normal, major differences. This arc will also focus more on Ahsoka and Anakin and such, rather than Mordain, though he will make a few appearances.

Now that, that's out of the way, ON WITH THE CHAPTER!!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Jedi Temple:

Ahsoka Tano, and Anakin Skywalker, were walking alongside Barriss Offee, the Padawan of Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, and someone else. Someone who was the spitting image of narcissism, and was the pinnacle of kissing boots to get favour. The son of the late Captain Wilhuff Tarkin, Admiral Argus Tarkin, who was the spitting image of his father, personality and all, despite being years younger than him, at the age of twenty five.

Ahsoka looked upon Argus Tarkin with disgust and annoyance, how in the world could anyone love a man as repulsive as his father was beyond her, not to mention that Argus held the same beliefs as his father did. In her opinion, the whole Tarkin bloodline was snobbish and repulsive.

Ahsoka: (Coming out of her train of thought) So what happens to Letta now?

Tarkin: The bomber has been moved.

Ahsoka: Moved? Where? Why should she be moved?

Tarkin: The Republic military has taken her into custody.

Ahsoka: (Irritated) But why? This is a Jedi matter, isn't it?

She protested. Whilst she was now a Sith apprentice, she still had to keep up her act of being loyal to the Jedi order, the same could be said with Anakin, who she could tell was having just as hard a time at keeping his cover than she was.

Tarkin: (Unbothered) Clones were killed, which makes this terrorist attack a military matter. An attack on the Jedi is an attack on the senate.

'Bullshit' Ahsoka thought. Tarkin didn't care about the Jedi, he was just doing as the chancellor told him, or should she say, he was doing what SIDIOUS told him. If anything, Ahsoka suspected that this was another trick pulled by Sidious in an attempt to further cause chaos among the Jedi. An whilst she no longer cared for the chaos that was sown amongst the Jedi, she didn't want Sidious to gain any more advantages.

However, as Tarkin continued being a smug prick, Ahsoka noticed something. Barriss seemed to be walking like a zombie, like she was...possessed of sorts. Though after a moment, the Mirialan corrected herself and started walking normally again, and that zombie-type walk seemed to disappear. Though she thought nothing of it, she would take note of it and keep an eye on it if it happened again.

Anakin: (Subtly Begrudgingly) Admiral Tarkin is right. Letta isn't a Jedi. It's not for us to be judge and jury over a citizen of the Republic.

Ahsoka: If Letta's guilty she's guilty and she should be dealt with.

Anakin: Calm down Ahsoka. Remember, revenge is not the Jedi way.

He said, sending her a subtle look that told her to play along and keep up the act, to which she sent her own subtle look back to say she agreed.

Barriss: The evidence seems clear Ahsoka. Nothing will ever change.

Barriss said, though Ahsoka SWORE she could hear someone elses voice very quietly speaking through Barriss' voice. Just then, Tarkin also spoke up as he marched forward.
