"Seeds of the dark side have been planted by your master"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Anakin succumbs to the dark side, Ahsoka is given a choice: join her master, or die. She decides to follow him, she...
Ahsoka sped to Onderon in her ship. She didn't take her starfighter, as it could attract too much attention, so she used a modified imperial transport ship, which she had named the rogue shadow. Much like her starfighter, it was colored black and grey, but it blended in much better, as it was a transport ship.
"This is ground control to pilot, please proceed to landing bay 15," Ahsoka heard over the communication system.
"Understood ground control."
She pulled into Onderon's atmosphere and made her way to landing bay 15. She landed the ship, and made her way out. She stopped by the mirror in her quarters to make sure she looked good. Instead of her usual all black attire, she wore more common clothes that would help her blend in. She wore black leggings, with a large dark yellow colored cloak. There were grey pieces of fabric wrapped around her body over the cloak and part of it covered her face. She had iron gauntlets on her forearms over the cloak, and grey gloves. She carried a satchel, which she placed her necessities in: lightsabers, credits, food, etc.

(This is what she's wearing, sorry my description wasn't great haha)
Satisfied with how she looked, she left the ship. She was met by an attendant at the bottom of the ramp.
"Hello ma'am and welcome to Onderon!" He said enthusiastically. "The fee for docking your ship here is 15 credits per day."
Ahsoka reached into her satchel and took out the credits. "Here's for today. I'm not sure if I'll be here longer or not, but if I am, I'll pay the rest when I return."
"Thank you ma'am, and have a great time in Iziz!"
Oh she was going to have a great time alright, some might even say a killer time. She chuckled to herself as she left the landing bay. She looked at the city around her and noted that it had changed a lot since the last time she had been there. When she left after the rebellion, everyone was happy and cheerful. The city was beautiful and full of life and energy. Now, it was glum. There weren't many people outside, other than the stormtroopers that roamed around. The once beautiful buildings were covered in Imperial propaganda. There were signs everywhere promoting the Empire.
Ahsoka noticed a tavern across the street from her. She needed to figure out some information about the Iziz, and specifically the senator she had been sent to kill, not to mention she was thirsty. Upon entering the tavern, she saw a mass of stormtroopers, and very few citizens. The ones that were there, sat in silence, for fear that something they said may anger the troopers and cause them to be beaten or arrested. Ahsoka silently made her way to the bar.
"What can I get ya?" The bartender asked.
"Can I get a Dragonjuice?"
"One Dragonjuice coming right up." As he was mixing the drink, he began to talk. "So, what brings you here stranger? I don't believe I've seen you around here before."
"Oh I just stopped to refuel," Ahsoka lied. "I was here years ago around the time of the rebellion you guys had here, and I just wanted to see it again. I loved the city when I was here before, but I can see it has changed quite a lot since then."
The bartender handed her the drink and sighed. "Yes, it's been rough since the Empire got here. Freedom of speech, press, etc. have been all but eliminated. Anything you say that is even slightly negative towards the Empire can get you arrested. I just want to see Onderon as the free and prosperous planet it was before all of this war and oppression, but I've heard rumors that our Senator may pull us out of the Empire. I'd love that, but the Empire won't just give us up. We'd have to stage a whole new rebellion, and I just don't think we have what it takes."
Ahsoka had been sipping her drink, taking in what he had said. So what Vader told me was true, this senator must be aiding the rebellion. She decided to try to get a bit more information on this senator. "Wow that's awful ambitious, but more power to ya I guess right? If I may ask, who is this senator?" She had an idea of who it could be, and was dreading the mans answer.
"The same man that's been our senator since after the rebellion, Luxor Reese Bonteri." Ahsoka nearly spit out her drink. She had had a feeling that he was the senator, but had been hoping, praying that he wasn't anymore. The bartender noticed this. "What's wrong ma'am? Something off about the drink?"
Shit, Ahsoka thought, come one, think of a lie quick. "No, no. The drink is perfect... it's just... Lux was a very close friend of mine, and I thought he was dead." Not my best lie, but good enough.
"Oh well he certainly is not dead. He's been leading us for the past seven years, and doing a fairly good job considering the circumstances. There's not much he can do though due to the tight grip of the Empire, but he tries," explained the bartender. Yup, that's Lux alright. Trying to help his people no matter what.
"Do you know where I could find him? It's been so long, he probably thinks I'm dead too. I'd like to... catch up with him," she said fingering her lightsabers.
"Sure, he lives in a house just on the norther outskirts of Iziz."
"Thank you so much," Ahsoka said placing a stack of credits on the table worth well more than her drink. The bartender just looked at them with wide eyes.
"I cannot accept this, this is too much."
"Nonsense. You helped reunite me with a close friend, it's the least I can do." He smiled and nodded to her, and then she left. It was off to the house of Lux Bonteri.
