Season 1 Episode 20
"Are you sure you can't assist me?" A hologram Master Kenobi asked.
Valerie and Master Amon stood around the holo-table on board of the Aurelia. Her master stood there with his arms folded.
"I can't." Her master stated. "I'm stuck in battle here." He gestured to the fighting currently in space outside of the Venator. The planet Carlac was in front of their view. "Death Watch is giving us a hard time."
Master Obi-Wan sighed. "Anakin's forces have been cut in half and his padawan is currently suffering a tough loss. You're the closest one to us."
Valerie straightened up at the mention of Ahsoka but Master Amon cleared his throat. "I really can't Obi-Wan. I wish I could but I just can't leave."
"I understand." Master Kenobi stroked his beard.
Valerie looked at her master. He too trying to think of a solution. "I myself can't be there to support you." He paused, looking back at the holo-table. "But I can lend you my Padawan, Valerie to assist."
"Master?" Valerie questioned.
"She's good and listens to orders." Master Amon continued. "It's the best I can do."
"I'll take all the help I can get." Master Kenobi nodded. "Send her as soon as possible. Anakin is going to try for another attack on the Separatist blockade soon."
"Copy that." Master Amon agreed. Master Kenobi disappeared and Master Amon turned to Valerie.
"Master, are you sure this is a good idea?" Valerie asked.
"I can't leave this battle." Master Amon gestured to the fighting outside the Aurelia. "But the Twi'leks need our help. I and Master Kenobi are counting on you to assist him and do everything you can to help out." He rested a hand on her shoulder. "Can I count on you my padawan, to rescue my people?"
Valerie nodded. "You can master."
"Good." He smiled. "Do me proud. Save my people."

"Commander, the invasion fleet is coming out of hyperspace." A clone on the comms reported to the fighters that were currently engaging the enemy blockade. Valerie was standing in between Master Kenobi and Master Windu. She saw the chaos unfolding in front of her and the only Venator tilted on its side.
"Ahsoka, this is Obi-Wan." Master Kenobi reported. "May we begin landing?"
"Yes master." Ahsoka quickly responded. "You're cleared for ground assault."
"I won't even ask where the rest of Anakin's fleet is." Master Kenobi commented. Valerie chuckled. "Or why he's in an escape pod."
"That's probably for the best." Ahsoka cheekily replied. "Rex, that reminds me. Send a shuttle to pick up Master Skywalker."
"Good job Ahsoka!" Valerie cheered.
"Thanks Valerie. It's good to hear your voice." Ahsoka said. "Good luck on the ground assault."
"Thank you Ahsoka." Valerie smiled.

"First trick will be getting our troops on the ground." Master Kenobi pointed out as he and Valerie all boarded a LAAT. Master Windu was seeing them off. There were some clones along with Commander Cody waiting for them.
"If you take the city of Nabat first we'll have our landing zone." Master Windu stated.
"Well, it's time to meet the natives." Master Kenobi folded his arms.
