Ahsoka, The Grey Jedi - A Star Wars Story

Chapter 16

     "Burn baby burn," I yelled. Behind me once stood a mental asylum that used painful treatment to care the mentally ill. It was an Imperial facility, emphasis on was. Stormtroopers were on there way here, so it was time to go.

2 weeks ago...

     I was on a stolen ship, full of anger and sadness. In my mind, I knew that I had to destroy the Empire. I didn't know how though. The Rebellion was already working on destroying the Empire, but they weren't making a mark on them. They were still powerful and they were still getting more power through their uses of terror. The autopilot eventually dropped out of hyperspace and I went to see which planet I set the coordinates for.
     It was a gorgeous planet. There were oceans very blue and the solid ground was a bright green. It was day time on the side on I saw and there were many trees from what I saw. From my guesses this planet was Takodana. A neutral planet, so no Imperials would be here. If there were, they would be hiding from the Empire because they didn't want to be found. I entered the planets atmosphere and I searched for a landing spot on the ground while admiring the beautiful scenery.
     I saw Maz Kanata's castle and I decided to land near there. It would be a great place to rest and decide how to hit the Imperials. I already knew, that if I was going to be effective I had to not hurt civilians.
    I landed in a small clearing not far from the castle and I got off the ship. The walk wasn't too bad. The sun made my skin feel warm and good along the way. I entered the castle and most of what I saw were thugs and bounty hunters. They were all just chatting with each other, minding there own business. Some people looked at me and when they saw my lightsabers, I knew they thought that they shouldn't mess with me. They were right to think that because I was in an unstable place. I went to the bar and ordered myself a drink. "Can I speak with a Maz Kanata? I heard she runs this place," I said.
     "Sure thing," said the bartender. "Hey Maz! Someone here wants to speak with you!"
     "Give me a minute. I'm chatting with someone right now," shouted Maz. I waited a minute, drinking. The drink felt very good for my mind and it soothed me. I still wanted to continue my plan, but a break from it wouldn't kill me. I've literally been on the run and fighting this entire time. The only exception is when I saw my mom. Maz eventually came out and she walked over to me where the bartender gestured. "So, you wanted to talk to me."
     "Yes, I do want to talk. I here you offer refuge to people on the run. Also, that you provide information for a price of course," I said.
     "Yes, I offer free refuge for one night. After that you have to pay. For the information you need, I'll have to talk to my guy. He provided the information I need to provide to my most important customers here," Maz said. "If you're looking for information on Imperials, I'll have to bring that guy here. He's currently on a business trip."
     "Okay. Would you mind showing me to wear I can stay," I asked. "I have a bank account with a lot of credits I just need to get access to the funds."
     "Alright. I'll show you to your room. First payment is two days from now in the morning," she said as we walked. "The room is not much, but it should be good enough for your temporary stay." We came up to a locked door and she handed me a key. "Here's your room. When your ready to leave this place, give me back that key. Okay?"
     "Of course."
     "Alright, enjoy your stay. The guy with the information on Imperials should be here tomorrow."
     "Okay. I'll see you later Maz." She left the room to head back to the bar. I sat down on the bed and laid down. This is a great place to lay low. A great place to take time to plan my next move.
