Fall of the Chosen One

Chapter 9

Yes, I'm making some changes to some things. It's not going to be exactly fitting into what happened in the show.

Ahsoka had lost track of how long its been since she's seen anyone she knew. She had spent at least a few months out in Coruscant. At least until her blasted speeder bike broke down and she nearly fell to her death.

After that, she met Trace and Rafa. And, quite obviously, she tried and failed to keep her Jedi past a secret. It hurt her to talk about it.

So now, they were back in the Underworld on Coruscant after escaping from the Pykes. It was quite an..exciting adventure.

But before that, Ahsoka had reconnected with Anakin for a short time. They had both sensed each other while Trace failed miserably to keep them away from the transport lane. Then, they had an extremely close call with almost getting arrested. But Ahsoka couldn't help but smile at the fact that she just seemed to know that Anakin had made sure they were able to leave.

She missed him badly, but she knew he was okay and that was all she needed. It was likely the same way for him.

"Why would anyone walk away from being a Jedi..?" Trace asked her. Ahsoka snapped out of her thoughts quickly and refocused.

"It's complicated," Ahsoka sighed.

"No offense, but I don't want to hear your complicated story," Rafa said. "You might not think of yourself as a Jedi, but you act like one. Or at least how I want them to be."

Ahsoka felt reassured at that statement and smiled.

"She's right. We got in over our heads," Trace added. "Without you, we'd be done for. Jedi or not, I consider you my friend," She placed a hand on Ahsoka's shoulder.

Then, a voice sounded from behind them. "Isn't this sweet?"

Ahsoka spun around and glared at the Mandalorian standing before them. She seemed to recognize her from Death Watch.

Bo-Katan.

She walked toward them.

"Making friends?"

Ahsoka instantly spread her hands out defensively. "Trace, Rafa, back away."

"So you remember me?" Bo-Katan asked. "Don't worry. Death Watch is gone. And now, you and I have a common enemy."

She held out a holo-projector. Then, an image of Maul was shown. Ahsoka narrowed her eyes and stepped forward. "Maul.."

"I need your help. Once we are underway I will explain everything."

Ahsoka felt unsure. Where would this lead her? She would be heading back to the Jedi and she wasn't sure if that's where she currently wanted to be right now.

Bo-Katan placed her helmet back over her head and turned away. "You have 5 minutes to decide."

Rafa and Trace stepped toward Ahsoka and she turned around. "Sounds like she needs your help, just like we did.."

Ahsoka sighed. "But if I go down this path, I'm afraid where it might lead."

"You mean, back to the Jedi?" Trace inquired.

"Yes.."

There was a moment of silence before Rafa spoke up. "Go. It's what you're meant to do."

"Rafa's right."

Ahsoka sighed and gave in with a smile. "Alright..but let me keep my bike here, just in case."

The sisters looked at each other and smiled, then back at Ahsoka.
