Chapter 34: Master and Apprentice

                                    

                                          


                          
AHSOKA TANO
                          
Ahsoka was running down a hallway when she saw a scared and frightened Padawan leaning against the wall near a crumbling pillar.
                          
The Padawan was clearly exhausted and trying to collect himself, but it appeared he had chosen the wrong place to do so, as the pillar was about to come down.
                          
"Ahsoka?" the Padawan said as Ahsoka ran at him.
                          
"I'm here to save you! Get to the Crucible!"
                          
"What are you doing he-"
                          
"Run!" Ahsoka yelled as she grabbed the hand of the Padawan, just narrowly avoiding the explosion of the pillar. 
                          
Had they been where they were mere seconds earlier, they would have been crushed to death. Ahsoka looked back to try and see the attackers, but the dust from the pillar collapsing hat yet to settle, masking the attackers, just blaster fire coming from the other side of the dust.
                          
"Move," Ahsoka said, "get to the ship!"
                          
The padawan nodded. He was a human male with black hair, and looked to be no more than 14.
                          
Ahsoka couldn't get a good enough look at him before he ran away.
                          
Ahsoka ran behind him, but they split up and went in different directions. The padawan was headed to the ship, while Ahsoka was on the hunt for more Jedi to rescue.
                          
She ran down the hall, and just as she turned a corner, she almost bumped into two padawans. She recognized both of them. One of them was Whie Malreaux, a human male. The other was Bene, a human female. Ahsoka forgot her last name.
                          
Both of their jaws visibly dropped.
                          
"Ahsoka!?" Both said at the same time.
                          
"No time to explain," she said, "I'm here to help. Get to the Crucible, and if I'm not there by the time you're attacked, leave without me!"
                          
"Why are you here," Whie asked, "didn't you leave the order!?"
                          
"I'll explain it to you if I make it out."
                          
"If!?"
                          
"Just go! We don't have much time before they find us!"
                          
Whie ran off into the distance, but Bene stayed.
                          
"Don't just stand there," Ahsoka said, "go follow him!"
                          
"Ahsoka," Bene said, "I just want you to know just because someone's holding a lightsaber doesn't mean they're friendly. I saw a rogue Pau'an Temple Guard near the temple exit. There was someone else, too, but I didn't get a good chance to look at them."
                          
"Okay," said Ahsoka, "I'll keep that in mind."
                          
Bene nodded and ran off towards the hangar. Ahsoka continued running down the hallway until she reached a portion of the hallway that had collapsed, making a dead end. She was stuck. She had to backtrack. She ran down the hallway and to the center of the temple, where there were undoubtedly many people there who either wanted to kill her, or be saved by her. It was a risk she was willing to take. She then realized she had just lived out another one of her visions.
                          
She stepped out into the central hall of the temple.
                          
The place was infested with clones, some of which noticed her. They raised their blasters and opened fire.
                          
Unlike previously, where Ahsoka only had to deal with one squad at a time, she now had to deal with several squads. She looked around, quickly scanning the area to see if there was anyone she could save.
