Ahsoka, The Grey Jedi - A Star Wars Story

Chapter 18

Sorry about the wait for this chapter. I kinda wanted it to be perfect for you guys. It is definitely a longer one, so it should make up for the wait. I hope you enjoy!

I waited a few days for my contact to return.  Apparently, it might be harder to get the blueprints for the asylum. But I didn't care, it was nice here. Takodana is perfect for deep thinking strolls in the forests. Most of the people were genuinely friendly towards me and made me feel welcome. The people here were also running from the Empire because they were a huge threat to their lifestyle. I didn't blame them for hiding here; it's a cozy little place to hide from threats of death and torture.
People just go throughout their day as I sit and wait in one of the booths on the far side of the bar area. I always sit in the booth where I met Kevin, so he always knows where I am. Sure, he knows what I look like, but a familiar place helps people trust better. When Kevin doesn't show up, I usually go into meditation or planning to pass the time. But, this time Kevin actually showed up, with blueprints in hand.

---------------------Two weeks later--------------------

After Kevin gave me the blueprints to the asylum I spent my days planning in my quarters. I wanted this plan to be almost perfect because let's be real, nothing is perfect. I had markings all throughout the plans of where I would place explosives. After the two weeks I spent planning passed, I had completed the strategic part of my plan. I sighed a breath of relief. My brain was on overload, but with my strategy completed I was ready to execute my plan at any time I pleased. I decided that I was going to do my plan tomorrow, I thought I needed some time to relax and enjoy myself before I left. I headed upstairs to the bar area, I sat down in my favorite spot and ordered my favorite drink. Kevin was at the bar because he was discovered as a traitor to the Empire. He helped me with my strategy, but I did most of the work in that part. I gave a casual wave of hello to him and waited for my drink to come to me. When it eventually came, I took a sip and I became exhausted. I guess being awake for long periods of time took a toll on my well being. But, if I can tell you it was worth it, I can't. I have to wait till after I executed my plan. I finished my drink and started to head downstairs to my quarters in a tired haze. I could start understand my surroundings, but I was very groggy. I opened the door, and after the two steps I needed to take I fell on my bed. Instantly, I fell asleep. I slept for about 10-11 hours before I reluctantly got out of bed the next morning. I slept good let me tell ya.
I knew it was time to go. The planet the asylum was on was not close to Takodana. It was located on the planet of Dantooine. It was an isolated planet so if one of the patients escaped they wouldn't last very long in the wasteland. I packed my things and made sure I had enough food and water to last the journey and my plan. I headed upstairs to the bar area and I gave Maz my last payment for my stay. "Thank you Maz. If I am in need of shelter, I know where to go," I said.
"You're welcome, Ahsoka. I hope your plan succeeds. The asylum you're attacking needs to be destroyed," she said.
"I agree. Hopefully, I'll live long enough to tell you the tale."
"I hope so." I gave her the money and left for my ship. The walk from Maz's castle to my shuttle felt like an eternity, but it was really only five minutes. I knew what I had to do, but why was I so nervous. Was it because I had to succeed or I'll face death? Was it because I have to save so many before I can destroy the place? Hopefully, one of the patients can help guide the others out of the place. I looked down at my lightsabers and knew if I was going to get caught, I would be ready to fight back.

* (Skipping twenty minutes to an hour in time for the story because that's just Ahsoka in hyperspace.)

When I finally arrived, I looked at the planet from space. There were areas of green, but it was mostly brown and orange indicating a dry desert. The Imperials sure had a way of choosing locations to keep people prisoner. I didn't want to be detected so I landed quite a distance from the facility. I didn't mind the walk because I made sure I was prepared. When I stepped out of my shuttle, I was immediately hit with an immense amount of heat. I shrugged it off and thought that this was for a good cause. I looked at the horizon and I saw the asylum in the distance. It was a dirty gray building surrounded by a barb wire fence. I wouldn't be able to see any minor details until I got closer. So, I started walking. All I could concentrate was on the pain and the heat from this walk, but it was for a good cause. It probably wasn't the best idea to arrive during the time when the sun was at its  peak. The way I planned to enter the facility was through a secret tunnels located near the facility. There I could rest and recooperate for the rest of my plan. I reached the tunnels a couple minutes later because I pushed through the pain and started to run for the tunnels. I was exhausted and I knew it would be awhile before I could enter the actual asylum, so I decided to take a nap. Nobody would no I'm here because Kevin told me that the Storm troopers don't patrol the tunnels, which was lucky. I placed down my bag of things and I laid down to get some rest. I didn't realize I was so tired until I laid down. I soon fell asleep peacefully full aware of what time I had to wake up.
------------------------Time Skip---------------------------

*(There's a time skip because that time is just Ahsoka napping in the tunnels. At this time it is now night on Dantooine. Hopefully this chapter is good so far)

I woke up a couple hours later feeling refreshed and ready for the next step of my plan. I grabbed my things and headed farther down into the tunnel. The initial scans stated that there was no organic threats nearby, so I had to be watchful for probes. They were just as deadly as the Stormtroopers because they can send information very quickly. As I continued down the tunnel, I continued doing scans because I wanted to be careful. I walked for a little while until I decided to check the map to see if I was close to the entry way. When I got the map out of my bag I saw I was only a couple of feet from a vent system. I took out one of my lightsabers and cut a hole in the system that I could crawl through. When I got into the vent system, I knew that I had to go to one of the patients' rooms so I could inform them of the situation. I knew the way without looking at the map because I could hear one of the patients trying to fall asleep. I made my way slowly to hear, trying not to make much noise. I removed the lid on the top of the room and jumped through the hole. The patient was startled by my presence but I quickly soothed her. She didn't say a word so I knew that she trusted me. "Hello. My name is Ahsoka Tano," I whispered.
"My name is Ana. What are you doing here," she asked.
"I'm here to destroy the facility, but I need to evacuate all the patients. Ana, can you guide them to the outside of the facility and into the tunnels nearby?"
"Of course I can. I know the way because I grew up here. There wasn't much to do besides study the landscape."
"That's great. After this, I'm going to the control room to open all doors. I brought a blaster so you can take down Stormtroopers along the way." I opened my bag and headed her a blaster. "Help the others. You'll know what to do when the doors open. I want nobody in the facility when I start setting explosives."
"I will get everyone out. How can I contact you to let you know Ahsoka?"
I opened my bag and grabbed a spare communicator. "Here you go. I have one on my wrist. You can use that to contact me when you get everyone out."
"Alright. I'll wait for the signal." I gave her a nod and jumped through the hole in the ceiling and started crawling to the control room. I had to be extra careful because I knew more troopers would be there guarding. I crawled for about 3 minutes before I saw the control room through the hole. I was careful to not make a sound and jumped through the ceiling. They didn't turn around. I was glad to find out there was only one guard in the room, but there would be more outside so I had to be swift. I grabbed one of my lightsabers and with a quick and nimble motion I killed the guard. Now, I had enough time to open the doors. I quietly walked to the controls and pressed some buttons. One of them worked because I heard a beeping from my communicator. Ana confirmed the doors were open. I pressed the door hatch and it flew open. Two Stormtroopers stood there and I swiftly killed them and placed one explosive. I continued with the same process in every other room I got too. Eventually, I ran out of explosives, but I placed over 20 detonators in the building. I heard the communicator beep again. I pressed the talk button. "All of the patients have been evacuated. I've taken them a little farther from the tunnels because I wasn't sure of how many explosives you've placed," Ana said.
"Alright Ana. I'm on my way out now. Do you see a ship on the horizon," I asked.
"Yeah I do."
"Take the patients there and wait for me for as long as you can. If you can't wait, take off and head for Yavin 4, that's the Rebellion's base. Okay?"
"Alright. I hope to see you soon Ahsoka."
"I hope to see you soon too Ana." I turned off the communicator and headed for the vents. I studied the system during my travels in space, so I could get out. I entered the vent system and crawled for about 5 minutes maybe 10 until I saw the hole I cut through. I exited the vents and ran through the tunnels until I was outside. I ran a little further, and stopped running when the facility was in view. "It's time." I grabbed the detonator from my bag and turned the safety off. I took a deep breath and pressed the detonate button. The building exploded. It went up into flames. The flames danced through the sky into the night and the smoke was very thick, like a thick soap. "Burn baby, burn," I yelled. I laughed and laughed. I was admiring the work I had done. Now nobody can be hurt by this asylum again. In the distance I heard troopers yelling and the running footsteps of them getting closer to me. "Time to go!"

Okay, so this chapter is long as an apology for not updating a bit, but I got up to the asylum explosion, that's a plus. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. The next update will be soon. Honestly, the ending chapter might be closer than it appears in my mind. I don't know what my plan is cause I just started writing and didn't have a plan. Alright, again I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Have a good day lovelies. Until next time😘
