Cuyanir (A Rexsoka SWTCW Fanfic)

A/N ~ Yeah, this normally goes at the end. But my brain is too fried currently to wait until I write the rest of the chapter. The quarantine really sucks. My state was one of the ones that got hit the hardest, so I can't finish middle school normally, and have been locked in my house since March 17th. I'm dying slowly of boredom, so please excuse some boring chapters. Thanks for the comments and support! Here's to almost 500 reads! Riddle of the day, What's greater than God, more evil than the Devil, and only the poorest people can have it?

"It's been two days, Rexie. Two kriffing days." Ahsoka spat from her 'room' in the vast cave network of caves and tunnels that they were hiding in. The hologram of her captain in front of her flickered, and Rex laughed.

"Really? Being stranded on an island being hunted for sport for a week and a half isn't enough to make you swear, but two days with the army underwater is?" Ahsoka groaned at this.

"Speak for yourself, my montrails are all slimy." She whined. Rex's face softened a little.

"Well, on the other hand, Kix has finally declared me fit for duty, so there's a possibility that I could join you." He gave her a thin smile. Ahsoka returned it grimly, lacing her hand the best she could through his hologam's. Her commlink beeped at her.

"I'm sorry Rexie, master wants me with him to meet with the council to discuss reinforcements." Ahsoka groaned. She normally didn't complain about being dragged about, but that was because she never had someone to complain to, and Rex knew she was joking most of the time. 

"It's ok Cyare, I'll see you soon, in person hopefully." He reached out and put a hand near Ahsoka's faceplate, the hologram passing through her montrails. She gave him one more smile before shutting the small projector down and slipping it into a pocket on her belt. 

Swimming down the tunnels, she absently scrubbed a hand against her lekku, wincing when even that small sound echoed around her head. Her montrails were hollowing out, and the beginnings of the passive echolocation that all togruta could use was confusing. She heard normal sounds, but they were a confusing mix of 'hear' and 'feel', like somebody had turned up the bass on everyday noise. The effect was worse underwater, where vibrations carried forever. 

"Now I see why Master Ti no longer goes on military missions." She grumbled quietly to herself entering the room where the council was meeting. Anakin shot a look at her, but they returned to watching the holograms of Yoda and Master Windu. 

"Can you repeat Master, are you sending reinforcements?" Master Fisto asked, punching buttons on the projector. He growled under his breath when the hologram flickered out. "We're being jammed."

"Are - Are they going to send help?" Prince Lee-Char asked, looking at the Jedi Master. Master Fisto sighed.

"I do not know, your highness. I think the best course of action now would be to get to the surface and make our way to Coruscant ourselves." He said, resigned to the possibility that no help would be coming.

"I will not leave my people to die." The prince growled. Anakin cut in.

"With all due respect, your highness, you cannot help your people if you are dead." He said, looking to Padme, who nodded.

"We must reach the surface to see if our ship is still there." She agreed. 

"The prince will decide our course of action." Ackbar insisted. They all turned to him.

"I think it is best for us to escape using your ship." He said carefully.

"As you wish, your highness. Follow me." Anakin ordered.
