Star Wars: Buried Truth

Ascension

"What do you want you Empire scum!"

Ahsoka Tano was Anakin Skywalker's old apprentice, but they were as close as two people could get.

Ahsoka was a Togruta female, who had soft Orange skin, white markings, and braids throughout her head. She stroke a frightening resemblance to Shaak Ti, a Jedi Master. Ahsoka was brought into the Jedi temple as a child by Jedi Master Plo Koon, as she had been noticed to have the force. Plo was like family to her, and after Order 66, she prayed he was still alive. Ahsoka was now grown, as she was only 16 during the Republic's fall. She wore maroon and tan clothing, robes covered her legs down to her knees, her stomach revealed along with her arms. Ahsoka was frightened.

Ahsoka glanced at the two armored soldiers.
"What do you want with me, are you going to kill me Clone?" "Just like you and the rest of the Clones killed everyone I knew and loved, Master Obi Wan, Master Plo, Anakin..."

Ahsoka looked down with a saddened expression on her face, even though she was a Gray Jedi, she still loves her old friends.

Pax responded.

"No, no, I removed my inhibitor chip, I'm on your side Ahsoka."

Ahsoka sighed.
"Yes, and who's the Mandalorian?"

"You don't remember me, I'm Boba Fett."
Fett cut her energy bonds, freeing her movement.

"I'll go scout ahead, Pax you two can wait for Grievous."

Ahsoka gasped.
"You're working with him?!"
She readied her sabers.

"No listen, he's a different being now, he's not out to kill Jedi, he was set up, and has helped us through many obstacles, listen, you can trust him Ahsoka."

Ahsoka sighed to Pax's words.
"Alright, we'll wait, but we need to talk Pax."

He nodded.
"About what?"

Ahsoka looked at him seriously.
"The Jedi purge, the fall of the Republic, rise of the Empire, Order 66."

Pax sat down, holding his gun.
"Thats what we're trying to figure out, but we can't breach the Temple alone, Ahsoka, will you help us."

Ahsoka nodded hesitantly.
"Yes, I will help you all, I too want to know, if the terrible rumor is true..."

Metal slate crashed down, as the General was seen clearing the dust, approaching them. Ahsoka readied herself just incase.

"Well if it isn't Ahsoka Tano, greetings old acquaintance."
Grievous calmly walked towards the outside exit, and in far sight, could see the ruins, of the old Jedi temple, from before Order 66.

"We will be heading to the temple archives, located in the ruins, hopefully we will be able to pull out any remaining logs that could tell us the truth, of the Clone Wars."

Grievous coughed at the time.
"We will have to be wary of Stormtroopers and any other threats that could halt our progress."

Fett retreated back to the others.
"We need to leave now, the Empire has detected something in our location."

The group members nodded as Grievous took point to the blocks heading to the Temple.

"We will need to split up, Fett and I shall go around the East town, while Tano, and the Clone shall head through the Neon sector."
"We will meet up at Club Tara'i"

"I trust that you two will be their?"
Ahsoka asks in suspicion.

Grievous just coughed as he left with Fett to their route.

Gleaming up in the Sky, Tano noticed several Tie squadrons above. They were patrolling sectors of the City.

"Pax, be careful, we don't want to get caught by them, it'd be bad news."

The Clone nodded back at her.
The two moved through the Neon skyscrapers, and busy streets.
Red Shock Troopers walked in pairs throughout the city. They were also signifying that the Empire had control over Coruscant.

Grievous and Fett had it easy, traveling through the slums of the sector. Nothing rarely happened here other than the meetings of scum and trash.

Fett scanned the area that they were traveling through. Dead. Nothing was active, nothing but the cold dry air and dust. Stale surroundings bothered Grievous as he covered himself more with his cloak.

Fett gripped his EE-3 firmly.
"Someone's up ahead, be careful."

Grievous nodded as he took his steps.
A red spark streaked the walls, as the power shut down in their area. Fett's scanners went crazy before collapsing, Grievous gripped his Lightsabers.

Metal footsteps were heard ahead, in the direction of it, a gleaming silver strip flickered.  The air was soon filled with a red gleam of light. Two red blades ignited from the double bladed lightsaber, indicating that there was trouble to be found.

"Boba Fett, you shall cover me from a distance, while I assault this enemy up front."

Fett nodded as he held his blaster high. Grievous ignited his blue and green sabers, and got into his stance, throwing his cloak aside.

The figure approaching spoke.
"Grievous, I know who you are!"

The voice was dark, gloomy, and was mixed with a droid sound. The figure was angry.

"You die here traitor!"

Grievous readied his blades.
"Dex, why must you always, work against progress?"

Grievous coughed, as he charged towards the new threat, as it did the same. Grievous and this new foe, Dex, had history with each other, and Fett was eager to know what it was, but that was a story for another time, for as of right now, two paths were crossing, down a very unsustainable road.
