Survival: A Star Wars The Clone Wars Story

Chapter 11

AN - Ok, so,

It has been a while since I've updated, I know. Strangely the holidays were busier than actually being at school so to hopefully make up for it here are the next three chapters all at once. There may be some missing speech marks, Wattpad sometimes does that when I copy and paste it over from word and I haven't really checked. It's late and I just want to post this so without further ado here's the next chapter.

-------------------------------

There was nothing, and then there everything. That was the only way Ahsoka could describe the effect of the vital suppresser wearing off. Blinding white light all around her was the first thing she noticed. It didnt just assault her eyes, but pressed down on her entire being. The layer of cold she felt over her body began to fade as her blood system started moving again. A cold weight returned to her stomach as she realised she was suffocating. Gasping and panicking she drew in gulp of air, then relaxed with the sensation of her lungs inflating.

The bright light around Ahsoka was diminishing and the world glimmered like a reflection on a pool of water as it came into focus. Above her was the gunmetal grey ceiling of their ship and the soft, squishy feeling beneath her told her she was on a mattress of some kind. Tentatively she lifted her head to get a better view of what was going on. She had only just started doing this when her eyes met Anakins.

With his arms crossed and a smirk on his face he said: "Rise and shine Snips."

Ahsoka allowed her head to flop back onto the pillow. "Ugghhh". A sigh escaped from her lips. This was going to be a long mission. "We got through their lifeform scanners, then?"

"We did indeed." Obi-Wan had materialised in the door that connected the cockpit and the storage area which had been refurnished into a somewhat cramped living quarters. The walls were lined with beds in a somewhat med bay-like fashion, and in the centre was a small yet sturdy-looking round table. An arrangement more suited to the needs of the Jedi than that of the stolen Neimoidian shuttle beforehand.

Ahsoka had only laid back down again for what felt like a second when she felt something metal prodding her leg. "Quit it, Artoo." The droid quickly scooted away from her, then spun around to face her again, giving a few short, cheeky high-pitched beeps and whistles in reply.

"I am not being lazy. Just give me thirty more seconds." Though I'll probably need more than that.

After a short time spent regathering their senses the rescue team had crowded around the table for a final briefing.

"So just to remind everyone, well all be disguised as droids. It will be faster to steal another ship from their hanger rather than make our way back to this one, so General Skywalker and myself will be responsible for securing a ship. Meanwhile, General Kenobi, Padawan Tano, Kai and Boxer will be tasked with freeing them from their cell. To enter the Citadel, well infiltrate this pipe here," Rex indicated to a glowing point on the blue hologram map in the centre, "Which will take us to the lower levels. From there it is a matter of climbing these stairs to attract the least attention. From here we split, group A to the cells and group B to the landing platform. Group A finds their cell and break them out. Once they are also disguised we will leave behind two droids who will look like General Unduli and Padawan Offee, which will hopefully buy enough time to get out. Any last minute questions?"

"Can't we have better names than group A and group B?" Anakin asked with mock disappointment.

Rex choked down a smirk, but was spared replying by Obi-Wan coughing. "Anyway," Obi-Wan said. With a wave of his hand, the map on the table vanished like an extinguished flame. "This is the hologram disguise matrix we will be using." He placed a compact silver disk in the centre of the table, tapped it twice and hazy hologram of a standard B1 battle droid appeared in front of each member of the party. "All you have to do is step into the hologram."
