Heyy guys, it's been a while since i updated my other fic but to be honest I kind of lost interest (ikik thats bad) so I decided to write a fic about my first ever oc Dee Sorin

She'll be a bit of a prick to be honest in the early chapters because she's like a kid whose a high military station so she thinks she's above everyone and the law but she gets her ass kicked a few times and grows out of it (mostly) her outfit changes quite a bit throughout the series so I'll post pictures on my pinterest

https://pin.it/5R0X0X5RH

I'll try get my tumblr to work or smth but for now i chose pinterest cuz i feel like its simple enough and everyone has it 

All her outfits are labelled and I'll say when they do change in the notes all her outfits can be found in the board named 'Dee's outfits and gadgets during the clone wars'

Fun fact: her outfits actually based of bloom's winx (ifykyk) and its been like that for ages cuz i imagined her outfit when i was obsessed with winx and the clone wars it does get less revealing though

Dee's going to sound like Astrid hofferson (the girl in the youtube video below) during the clone wars, then during the second clone wars (hint hint wink wink) ill change her voice

https://youtu.be/Dk93hFR4vNk?feature=shared

A bit about how this fic is going to go, anakin won't turn to the dark side bcs i ship obitine religously so ofc im gonna make satine live and her and obi wan WILL secretly marry 😝 which will make anakin tell obi wan about padme (after he tells dee and ahsoka first cuz yk those are his sisters) so palps plans will fail, not sure how yet but it does fail.

Also ALOT of clone OCs are going to change the story around eg, "Striker" (he'll make his first show in chapter 4 i think ?) replaces echo bcs i want him and fives alive (still not sure how i want him to live whether an oc dies in his place or Dee saves him, prolly Dee saves him tho) during the umbara arc your man waxer doesn't die either because i want him (waxer),boil, echo and fives to all be arc troopers (let a girl be) and ye thats basically all i can say for now not sure when it'll exactly be finished but ill try get it 

The series is going in the timeline chronological order,

https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-the-clone-wars-chronological-episodeorder

I used to do it in chronological timeline well mostly, i fucked up the first few chapters (the cad bane arc) ts keeps me up at night but i actually cant be bothered enough to change it so we'll just have to deal with it for now

A story was going to happen long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.

It in fact nearly happened and it is already over, nothing can change that fact.

It was a story of love and loss.

Brotherhood and betrayal.

Courage and sacrifice.

And the death of dreams.

It was the story of a blurred line between our bests and our worsts.

It was the story of an end of an age.

A strange thing about stories-

Is that although they happened so long ago,

and so far away that words cannot describe the distance, but it still could've still happened now.

This is how almost twenty five years of millenia could've come to an end.

This could have been the end of the Republic and Jedi's twilight.

Yet it didn't thanks to one Jedi, who chose to break the odds and stop this.

We thank you Dee Sorin, for saving us from the end.

Chapter Text

Dee was working really hard, for why ? because she wanted to become a padawan, Caleb Dume who she knew for a bit became a padawan at like 10 TEN she was 13 she had to become a padawan at some stage soon.

She was more than capable to be a Commander she was pretty good with the Force, decently smart, quick on her feet, she knew how to take the offensive, well thats what she thought to her own mind.

She guessed nobody wanted her because of her lack of playing defence so she was practising playing defence which wasn't as easy as she thought, the reason she came to this conclusion is due to the Jedi Temple disliking anyone who shows a visible attachment to attacking. 

The training droid was heavy too heavy for herself, her white blade clashed against the droids yellow ones, she stumbled back at the weight of the droid which was forcing her back, she wanted to do it but she couldn't, she already had to make up her own form to use Djem So, she had to mix the acrobatics of Ataru with the swings of Djem So, she thought she was good with it until the trainer told her that she relies too much on attack and it's "not a Jedis wish to take life yet to protect it".

"Urgh it isn't working" she said to herself "stupid droid" she muttered, this was actually so dumb, she should've stayed on Eeth, she literally had the choice and now she's regretting not choosing to stay.

"You need to focus on being more patient, mastering defence takes a while" said a calm collected voice behind her, who the kark was trying to sneak up to her, also whose voice can be so calm and collected after witnessing her flop so badly.

She spun again "Gah how'd you get there" she said before she realised who she said it to, this was fucking master Obi Wan Kenobi.

"Oh I'm so sorry master Kenobi it's just that I can't figure this form out it's too hard" She said quickly 

"And which form is it young---" 

"Dee Sorin, my names Dee Sorin but I've been trying to learn form III Soresu because I want to be taken as a padawan so I'm thinkin' that nobody wants me because I'm too good at Offensive yet too trash at taking the defence " she replied quickly regretting her words once she said them, she's supposed to impress Kenobi not make him think she's a weakling.

"so you want to impress people ? and why would you be trash at defence?" he asked patiently

"Well one it makes me feel good and two because it takes too long and it's too hard to play defence because it takes a lot of strength to parry the strikes" She replied 

"Well what form do you practise young Sorin"

"Well I made my own form to suit me, its a mix between Ataru and Djem So, see I'm not really the strongest so the power blows in Djem So are hard to preform so I use acrobatics and speed from Ataru to make up for it" she said, sure let's tell him your full life story about how you aren't strong Dee, way to go buddy! 

"Hmm" Kenobi said stroking his beard "duel me" he said finally.

"What." what is he on about ? Is he making fun of me ?

"Duel me, as in training of course I want to see this form of yours"

"ok..." she said unclipping her saber she felt a bit better that he challenged her, why ? he might think she's a worthy opponent there for a worthy padawan, which means that she'll be able to dip most of her lessons.

Obi Wan got into his own stance, the iconic stance that all the other younglings glazed, the more they glazed him, the more she thought of a holocharacter from a Holo she watched with her dad, she believed his name of Chuck norris ? and so the duel began, 

Blue and white clashed together, hissing and churning sounds filled the sparring- training- whatever you with call it room.

One, Two, Three, Four he parried her blows, One, Two, Three, Four she jumped up and attempted to kick him in the arm he moved his saber, she fell down and had to catch her saber before she failed right time to try something else, she had to make this master like her.

One, Two, Three, she darted behind him behind he could parry her Fourth blow, she tried to kick him behind the knees, trying to give him a chicken leg, she's done it before in other duels it's got a 90% success rate, some call her a cheater, she calls it working smarter and not harder.

Clearly Master Obi Wan knew this trick so he moved a few steps up leaving her kicking the air, which made her turn pink feeling embarrassed she must seem like a loser Let's go Dee, just so so so proud of you sweetie.

One, Two, Three, Four, FIVE she struck as hard as she could, he stumbled a bit, but so did she, she was preparing for another power blow to make but then master Kenobi started taking the offence, oh Kriff ! nah she can't deal with this just yet

He struck down, she ducked to the side, he swiped at her legs, she jumped up and swung her blade at his arm and he blocked it, she swung again and he blocked, good, he's back on the defensive, now Dee knew she could stand a chance against, well, atleast she highly believed she stood a chance against.

One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, SEVEN she swung again, feeling her arms ache but she wanted to be the winner she wanted to come out on top, she just had to, there wasn't another way she could see herself coming out of this.

One. TWO she struck again hitting hard, he stumbled she also wanted to move back but she had to win to prove she's worthy.

One, Two, Three, FOUR she struck again, he didn't falter, she felt her strikes feel weaker she was losing her strength fast, 

One, Two, Three, Four, she darted behind him and ducted as he swung his saber, she moved infront again, she was playing for time, it had to be a worthy move right ?

One, Two, Three, Four as she was about to strike Obi Wan did so instead ,it was really hard she felt her lightsaber clatter out of her hand yet Obi Wan kept striking at her.

She ducted to the sides, hit the splits, dove under him, jumped over his blade, anything she could do to delay, she played this for about 5 minutes, but it felt like ages.

She finally caught her Light Saber with the Force and only managed to catch Obi Wan's Saber before he spoke.

"Alright thats enough" 

Dee felt her whole body freeze did she mess up? was she too weak ?

"I must say, you are quite bold Young Sorin" she felt her face heat up "I wouldn't think many a youngling would attempt to give a chicken leg to a Jedi maste--"

"Though, did she though, Master Kenobi" Master Yoda spoke

"Master Yoda since when have you been here" she said quickly bowing

"Watching I always am, powerful you could be Young Sorin, impressed me, you have" Dee broke into a grin a praise like that from the Grandmaster was once in a lifetime experience.

"Master Kenobi and I, have a little chat we must" Dee wasn't even bothered, the praise was more then enough.

"Master Yoda the girl is really bold she fights like she's the high rank" Obi wan began

"Yet no one care about rank on the battlefield will they Obi Wan?" Yoda asked

"I guess Master," he replied

"A good partner for you, she could be, Think about this, I must, you and Knight Skywalker must head to Christophosis" 

"I- very well then master Yoda" he replied.

As Master Obi Wan left "New beginning you and Skywalker shall have on Christophosis, yes" there were knocks on his door "Come in" 

In came a young togruta girl holding another girls hand, the girl was Dee Sorin.

Her actual outfit ^^

her pyjamas ^^

As the door to the ship opened Obi wan didn't expect to see the girl with brown eyes and brunette hair who attempted to give him a chicken leg, exit out of it, nor did he expect her to be in a turquoise crop top and miniskirt the togruta girl wasn't better as she wore a tube top and miniskirt, this was going to be interesting these kids weren't ready for war,

They were children.

"I'm Dee, this is Ahsoka, I am Master Kenobi's new apprentice while Ahsoka is Anakin Skywalkers, Master Yoda was very specific too" Dee said squinting at Anakin, Master Yoda warned them that he would try avoid it.

"Master Yoda sent us and we were told to tell both of you that you must get back to the Jedi Temple immediately there's an emergency." Ahsoka told the two masters.

"Well were in a bit of an emergency right now, our communincations are cut off we can't call for help" said Skywalker accusingaly 

"Like Master Yoda knew, " Dee snarled "And you can relay a messaged through the cruiser that dropped us off" she added sweetly at the end like an afterthought to not get in trouble. The two masters looked at each other and nodded slowly.

"We are currently under attack by separatist gunships but we'll try make contact with the temple as soon as we can standby" The clone from commander center told them

There was a pregnant pause, a long pause, an awkward pause before master Yoda appeared on the hologram.

"Masters Kenobi and Skywalker, glad I am, that Dee and Ahsoka found you" Master Yoda began

"Master Yoda, we are trapped here, and vastly outnumbered. We are in no position to go anywhere or do anything. Our support ships have all been destroyed."Obi Wan began

"Send reinforcments we will" master yoda said before glitching out and the clone from commander center appeared 

"We've lost the transmission, sir. We have to leave orbit immediately. More enemy ships have just arrived. We'll get back to you as soon as we can" 

"Well I guess we'll have to hold out a little longer" Anakin began

"My apologies young ones it's time for proper introductions My name is Master Obi Wan Kenobi this is Master Anakin Skywalker" Dee smiled at them, Obi wan smiled back slightly Anakin didn't she stopped smiling, what a prick.

"I'll go check on Rex at the lookout post" Anakin began

"Better take her with you" Obi wan said gesturing Ahsoka to come forward and off the two went.

"Time to introduce you to the 212 "Obi wan told her a bit blankly to be honest

"okay.." she scratched behind her ear "so uhm like unlike the 501 from what I know you guys have a Commander so does that mean I'm a captain ?" she asked a bit dejectedly

"Oh no Dee you're a Commander like other padawans nowadays you're supposed to be my 2nd in hand, not 3rd" he replied more patient and less blankly, 

As they approached, a man with yellow armor walked up "General" he saluted "and this is ?" he asked looking down at Dee

"Cody this is my new Padawan Dee Sorin so your new Commander Sorin" Obi wan told him

"Well then pleasure to meet you, Commander" he told her still a bit shocked.

"You too, Commander" She grinned, looking like a teenager instead of a Commander but thats what she was, a teenager thats not been trained for war.

"General, Commander I mean no offence but this is a child" Commander Cody told them

"Don't worry theres a reason I got chosen to be a padawan at my age" she replied a bit too cocky for Cody's likings if she was a shiny and spoke to the General like that then she'd have fresher duty for a good rotation,

"Dee go with Cody he'll show you around." Obi wan told them and walked off

Cody began showing the girl around the battle station, she was very curious, it was one of her first time outside since before the temple.

She was asking about a thousand questions at once, Cody was used to shinies asking a lot of questions, not 13 year olds.

"Oh and whats that ?" Dee asked looked in the distance where a huge red blob was approaching full of battledroids.

"Nothing good Kid," He replied before starting to run, Dee had to press some gas to speed up to match his pace.

"So I'm guessing the Separatists are starting the attack ?" Dee asked, Cody looked down at her.

"Your guess would be correct Commander Sorin"

"The shield generator is somewhere in this area" Master Obi Wan said pointing to a map "They're slowly increasing the diameter and keeping it just ahead of their troops."

"Heavy cannons are gonna be useless against that" The blonde captain said, Rex, she recalled Anakin calling him that

"As they get closer I suppose we could try to draw them into the buildings it could level the problem a little bit" Obi wan suggested

"If it's such a problem just take it out" Dee suggested 

"Yeah sneak over and blow it up it can't be that hard" Ahsoka agreed

"easier said then done" Rex told her 

"I for one, agree with tiny and snips here" Anakin admitted dejectedly 

"Great you and Ahsoka go and disable it" she told him

"What ?" Anakin replied

"Look skyguy it'll bond you two, I'll stay with master Kenobi and we'll cause a distraction" 

"Then do so" Obi wan told them smiling at Dee 

"Let's go Master" Ahsoka told him

"I'll decide what we do'' he quickly told ahsoka

"if we engage here and here with heavy cannons you two could sneak past" 

"they won't have much time the droids far outnumber us" Rex began Dee cut him off

"look by the time its turned off reinforcements should arrive we need to trust in Ahsoka and Master Skywalker to find a way" 

"Come on Master lets go" Ahsoka told Anakin 

"If we survive this Snips you and I are going to have a little talk " Dee giggled at Anakins words "YOU TOO TINY" he yelled back that shut her up.

"They make quite a pair don't they sirs? You think they have a chance?" 

"They better, if they can't turn that shield generstor off before it reaches the heavy cannons there'll be no escape for any of us" 

"Why so negative master, we've got to pull through, right ?" she asked 

The blasts kind of hurt her ears, it was it wasn't that bad as some of the other initiates singing in the fresher'.

"THAT SHIELD IS SURELY PUTTING A CRIMP IN MY DAY " Obi wan yelled over the blasts

"ITS NO USE SIR EVEN AT FULL POWER THE CANNON DOESN'T AFFECT IT" 

"ALRIGHT REX, IT WAS WORTH A TRY, PULL BACK THE MEN" 

Dee felt an odd sensation as the shield passed over them, like a bubble growing over her, she gripped her lightsaber for comfort.

"We're inside the shield, just stay away from those tanks" Obi Wan told Rex as her and her Master jumped off the ledge and she began swining her light saber.

One swing, Two swings, Three swings, Four swings, Five she crushed a few droids with the Force, if she was going to make a name for herself she had to make it be a good one. She heard the clones blasting behind her, she had to admit she'd probably feel a bit better with a second saber, but she didn't know if that would make her seem needy.

15,16,17,18 droids down, these were different from the ones she was used too, they were quicker she was feeling herself get tired already but how it's only been a few dozen down theres still a good few thousands out there.

"They're right behind us sirs! they've wiped out most of my unit we had to pull out of there" he told them

"The shield has almost reached the heavy cannons" 

"We're not going to be able to stop them" Rex replied

"That's why we're counting on Anakin and Ahsoka" she told him while deflecting a blast.

"Move your troops back to the heavy cannons, do everything to protect them me and Dee will delay the droids" He said, Dee grimaced she hoped she wouldn't collapse out of tiredness. 

"But.."

"That is an order captain" He said while swinging his saber into the superdroid, they striked at the oversized tincans harshly and quickly, delaying them and trying to give as much time as they could. An ugly creature popped out of the tank

"Hello ugly" Dee muttered

"You must be General Kenobi" he said and he looked down at her "and you" 

"My names Dee Sorin, but it's Commander Sorin to you" She fired back 

"I surrender" Her master told him, Dee looked at him, her eyes scram "WHAT" but she remained silent as the droid grabbed her light saber. This wasn't good, this was horrible absolutely horrible.

"Now Master Kenobi and Commander Sorin order your troops to stand down" He began but Obi Wan used the Force to pull a table and 3 chairs over 

"General, have a seat"

"Have you gone mad ???" Yes, has her master go insane ?

"I've conceeded the battle, now we must negotiate the terms of surrender, please have a seat" 

"Don't try of your tricks Jedi"

"surely theres no reason we can't be civilised over this?"

As he stepped out Dee fought the urge to giggle, he was ugly and short apparently not that Dee wasn't short, she was short but she believed that she was atleast average looking for a 13 turning 14 year old.

"Tis is a rare honour to meet ones opponent face-to-face" Dee doubted it was an honor to meet ugly here "You're a legend in the inner core" If he's a legend then how is this the first time Dee heard of him ? She took a gamble in the wind and guessed that Obi wan, mr smarty was trying to outglaze ugly until Ahsoka and Anakin return Dee thought all that into the Force Obi wan looked at her, giving her a look like "listen bucko if you say anything out of line we're dead" 

"Thank you thank you the honor is mine I'm so glad you decided to surrender" Dee wasn't all she wanted was to slap ugaroo's face here.

"Well at some point one must accept the reality of the situation, might we have some refreshments" Dee fought the urge to whine, this was going to take a longggg time

Dee layed on her left arm as her master drank some tea, her right arm felt numb from laying on it for so long, this sucked, this actually sucked so bad, and to think she wanted to be a padawan so bad for this to bed her first mission.

"And of course once you've taken custody of my troops arragements will need to be made for their food and shelter-"

"Enough of this! you are stalling" great, he caught on, could've caught on earlier but clearly he's a bit dim

"Nonsense General, there are numerous details to be discussed."

Ugly got ragebaited so hard he flipped the table, she saw his point.

"seized them!" she got hoisted into the air by a superdroid she eyed her light saber 

"Unless you call off your troops right now I will have no choice but to destroy you and your commander"

"Truthfully me and Smarty here" she jerked her head towards Obi wan "were hoping your shield would be knocked out by now" Dee replied and like a good fortune the shield deactived. Obi wan looked at her confused as if wondering if she actually just called him smarty.

Obi wan flipped over and grabbed ugly into a chokehold "Oh dear it appears something has happened to your shield General" 

Dee smirked at Obi Wans words and called the Force into her hands and grasped her saber into a reverse grip she didn't know, sometimes a reverse grip just felt right, she spun quickly in a circle slicing all the superdroids around her and getting back into her usual stance.

"Not so tough now aren't they master" she asked her master, he actually smiled at her, clearly not too bothered over being called 'smarty' Behind her Dee saw the cannons activate and the tanks all exploded in a mix of red, orange and yellow, Master Kenobi's hologram activated and she saw the admiral from the ship.

"General Kenobi, if you can hear me we are past the blockade, the Separatist armada is retreating your reinforcements should be arriving any moment" As Dee looked up she saw a fantastic fight atleast a hundred gunships flying over the sky. As the Gunship landed, Master Yoda stepped out of it.

"Your timing is perfect Master Yoda" Obi Wan told the old master soon another ship approached bearing Ahsoka and Anakin.

"Master Obi Wan, Master Yoda" 

"Trouble you have, with your new padawan I hear" Yoda told the knight 

"I was explaining the situation to master Yoda here" Her master explained

"If not ready for a padawan you are, some arrangements could be made" 

"No wait a minute, I admit Ahsoka is a bit rough around the edges but with a great deal of training and patience she might amount to something" Dee rushed over to her friend and hugged her.

"And Master Kenobi, any troubles with yours ?" Master Yoda asked 'Oh shit' Dee thought to herself as master Kenobi's gaze landed on her.

"She's a bit headstrong and cocky but I've delt with a certain padawan like that before" Obi was stated while looking over at Anakin who was about to say something but got interrupted by Yoda.

"Go with Skywalker, Ahsoka will, to the Teth system "

"Teth ? that's wild space the droid army isn't even in that sector" 

"Kidnapped, Jabba the Hutts son has been"

"You want me to rescue Jabba's son" Anakin asked, a bit of spite in his voice, Dee wondered why he felt that way.

"Anakin we'll need the Hutts allegiance to give us an advantage over Dooku" Obi wan told him

"Hmm negotiate a treaty with him, Obi Wan will, Young Sorin will go too, find the renegades that hold Jabba's son Skywalker will"

"C'mon Master, it doesn't sound that hard,I'll find Rex and get the troops organized"  Ahsoka told Anakin

"Yeah Skyguy atleast you don't have to tea and biscuits with a slug on a dust ball" Dee replied, getting a slight smirk from Anakin and a disapproving one from Obi 

"Don't worry Anakin, just teach her everything I taught you and she'll turn out fine" Her master assured Ahsoka's master 

"You know something makes me think this was your idea from the start" Anakin replied

"Crazy idea considering the first and last time I saw Dee before this was when she attempted to give me a chicken leg" Obi wan replied sarcastically, Yoda chuckled 

"Yes Dee as a padawan idea was not, mine it was Ahsoka however... anyways must get going you must"

"So Master I'll go get on a fighter yeah ?" she asked 

"Well how else could you fly in space ?" he asked her, Dee grinned in reply

Tatoonie was a horrible place to live, the longer she spent on it the more she pitied the slaves on it, the fact that the Republic was turning a blind eye to this made her stomach churn in the worst way possible, she was wearing clothes that were breathable, these poor slaves had basic cloth that was barely breathable it was a rag this was again human dignity or any sort of dignity ! 

She was scared about what the 'Palace' would look like, it probably has stripped thousands of their basic dignity and rights for decades, this was cruel !

"We should not keep the wise and powerful Jabba waiting" The droid told them, if Dee guessed, this droid was probably the best treated servent in the whole place.

"We wouldn't dream of it" Obi Wan replied, Dee would dream of it, the only thing that she found cool about this was her cloak with a hood, she found them cool overall but she doubted Jabba was wise considering that he's a slug living on this pitiful dustball well from what she heard anyways.

"Might Jabba one of our most powerful Jedi is on his way to rescue you son" Obi Wan started

"We will not let you down I promise he will be returned" Dee added, she wanted this to be over with, she had put her hood down to Obi Wan's request 'Dee it's called manners' Psh yeah right she didn't give a damn about them, she doubted Jabba did either, the men here looked at her weird and the women even weirder like they were fascinated with her.

The big fattie grumbled some words, Dee spoke a tiny bit of huttese so she only understood 'condition, slime and punky muffin' out of all Jabba must've said what the kriff was he mumbling about, was he high ?

"The mighty Jabba has one condition, he demands you bring him the slime that kidnapped his punky muffin" so she was correct, mostly, punky muffin was about to crack her rib from trying not to laugh.

"Punky ?" Obi Wan asked clearly amused, Dee could kick him in the shin with her heel, infact she did she felt his slightly stumble behind her.

"Shush we don't want to get beheaded over his punky muffin" she murmered 

Jabba grumbled a bit more

"Dead or alive, if you do not succeed Count Dooku and his droid army will" oh so Jabba is getting gaslighted from the folk who actually probably took his Force damned child.

When leaving Dee couldn't help but feel a lot lighter "well that was an experiance" she told her master, the haunting and ghostly looks that the women gave her made her feel uneased.

"Indeed it was, now was there a needing for the shin kick ?" he asked a bit too stern for her liking

"Master no offence but I personally do not want to get sniped by Jabba's bounty hunters just because you made fun of the way he called his son" She replied

"Fair enough"

"Alright Anakin, heres the story" Obi Wan began, Dee stood proudly beside him arms crossed over her chest, she was really proud of herself so far today, "Jabba has given us only one planetary rotation-"

"To find his sweet ol' punky muffin" Dee added in quickly, obi wan looked down at her and sighed

"Yes one planetary rotation to find his "Punky Muffin" and bring him to Tatoonie safe and sound" 

"Won't take us that long master" Anakin replied

"Well be careful we don't know whose holding his son, when me and Dee have finished negotiations with him we will join you" 

"Wait what do you mean 'finish' I thought we were done ? Oh noo does this mean we have to have teatime with him again" Dee whined as the hologram turned off

"Look smarty why don't you finish the negotiations while I finish something I've been tinkering on" Dee offered

"And what would that be ?" Obi wan asked 

"You'll see if you let me finish it" Dee adding cleverly

"You'll have plenty of time when we get back to Coruscant"

"I really thought that would work" Dee replied a bit dejected and heartbroken

"Come on padawan mine we've got negotiations to finish"

Dee was thrilled when she finally got in her fighter, being cooped up with Jabba and negotiating with him put a really large crimp in her day and her stomach, she was finally free in the sky.

"Take over R4" she told her astromech as she opened her hatch and prepared to jump out, standing ontop of the hatch as she jumped she ignited her saber and slashed the droids through, her master followed closely and did the same, they worked pretty well together.

Cody and the rest of the 212 follow after gunning their way through the Separatist tins quickly.

"where's Skywalker ?" Obi wan asked Rex

"Best guess he's still in the castle sirs" He replied, that was enough information for Dee as she sprinted inside that castle, she spotted a bald woman, she must be the one the younglings talked about, Asajj Ventress.

"Master Kenobi, always chasing after Skywalker, how predictable, who is your new pet" She sneered oh so she wanted to play the sneering game, good, Dee happened to be good at it.

"Im Dee Sorin his padawan " she sneered right back at her

"Anakin leaves quite a mess, which usually leads to you" Obi wan said while getting into his usual stance, Dee got into what she felt comfortable in saber in reverse grip and having her right hand, her saber hand nearly touching her left, it made her face glow white from the crystal and she always thought it looked cool.

"Take them" Ventress commanded her two tinnies, they shot at the master and apprentice how pathetic they got sliced in a few seconds.

"Ventress we know you're here "Obi wan spoke to the room, Dee felt Ventress' anger and fury through the Force, it penetrated the calm and happiness she felt earlier.

"We can feel your frustration maybe you should try sucking your thumb, heard it helps babies calm down" Dee told her, sure maybe acting a bit cocky and a bit over confident but hey it adds to the experience.

Ventress struck hard and fast, luckily she was a bit lighter than master Kenobi so she was able to hold her until she slipped under and striked from the other side, the left side. Ventress flipped back and tore her skirt off and chucked it at Dee's master, they proceeded to fight, Dee on left, Obi wan on right.

Ventress fought really well 2 on 1 and she was still holding up, Dee should try dual wielding it could be better than singular blade plus it could be easier whatever she was getting distracted as Ventress nearly took her left arm.

Ventress took Kenobi's saber out of his hands, now Dee had to fight this crazy bald lady alone,

One, Two, Three, Four WHAM! she whacked her saber like a baseball bat, probably isn't the most Jedi or elegant way but whatever gives her master time to get his stupid saber and start fighting again, luckily it didn't take long, soon it was 2 on 1 again which felt alot better, Dee really wanted to one day be able to 1 on 1 Ventress but she guessed today was not her day and probably for the better, she lacked experience, a lot of it.

She started hitting all sorts of flips while running backwards, she was suiting herself for fighting with her master instead of by herself, if she was by herself she'd be charging fowards trying to push ventress back, she hoped her master had a plan for she definitely didn't all she had were random scraps. He started jumping up so she followed in pursuit.

"So master you got a plan" she asked while running alongside him hearing Ventress swipe her saber she felt a bit nervous at the thought.

"Just follow me" He replied

'great feel really reassured' she couldn't help but think.

"We know of Dooku's plot to turn the Hutts again the Jedi it will not succeed" He told her as they stood face to face, One face perfectly calm while the other was twisted in anger and hate.

"Then you will die with it" 

"I'd like to see you try" Dee told her, she didn't know where this surge of confidence came from, because she certainly didn't feel very confident. Ventress' swipes were quick and aggressive, Dee tried to match them, but it was getting harder and she was getting more tired luckily her Master decided to jump out of a window, so being the loyal padawan she is, she followed, 

"We sense it too Ventress, Anakin is gone, you've failed " Ventress connecting her two sabers and swiping with them was mad cool Dee had to admit but this was no time to think about how cool she is, she's the enemy for Force's sake ! just because she wants dual sabers doesn't mean she'll look up to the enemy.

"I don't think Dooku's gonna be pleased if he finds out you failed him" Dee told her through gritted teeth, she swiped something on her wrist, Dee's mind wandered to her own little project but she couldn't think of it now, now she was fighting a sith.

"The Hutt is safe there is no point in fighting any longer, we've won lay down your weapon" Obi wan tried to convince her.

As he said so Ventress jumped down onto her own fighter. Dee turned her lightsaber off, suddenly all that confidence and energy she felt early was running off she felt a ton more tired. Obi wan looked at her like how a father might look at their daughter.

"Dee how are you holding up" he asked

"A bit tired to be honest, but I'll be fine, what's next ?" she asked

"Call R4 to pick you up, we've got a battle to finish"

It was late now, Dee bore her light pink pyjamas, she was scared what Obi wan would say to her, what would he say to her, he already called her 'headstrong' which she was fine with but 'cocky' was she really that cocky ?

"I see you've settled in well." He told her as he sat beside her on her bed

"Master is it true that I'm headstrong and cocky ?" Dee asked him tilting her head slightly

"Well it's not a lie, but theres been plenty of headstrong and cocky Jedi over the years, Anakin for starters"

"So Anakin's more cocky ?" she asked tilting her head to the right.

"I'd say you two level each other out, now get some rest, tomorrow once we reach Coruscant your real training begins night Dee"

"Night master" she said while crawling into her bed under her duvet while obi wan closed her door, today was a good day for the start of her Jedi journey.

Dee Sorin ^^

Dee could get used to this Jedi life, once she got back on Coruscant she went back to bed, she was really tired and wasn't even bothered to change out of her pyjamas when walking through the corridor to her and her masters quarters, however when she noticed that there were 4 bedrooms instead of the usual 2.

"Master why is there 2 extra bedrooms ?" she asked bleary eyed, she just wanted a full night of rest, Force forbid like-

"SURPRISE" yelled Anakin from behind her, she yelped in response, what in Kriff's sake ?

"I still don't get it" she answered 

"You, Me, Anakin and Ahsoka are sharing a place" Obi wan explained, he seemed calm, but Dee could see he was tired himself.

"Cool" she yawned "Wheres my place I wanna go to bed" she continued, Anakin looked stunned for a moment like nobody dared to ever tell him they're tired then continued.

"Right here Tiny," he said as he led her to a room "You're between me and Snips" 

"Alright then" and with that she pushed the door open and closed it, it seems that all her clothes were already there but she chose to give herself the pleasure of organisation for the next day or week.

While laying in bed Obi wan opened his comm and texted Cody this exact message.

"Cody, please assemble a team of 16 men including yourself and be by the landing dock of the negotiator at 700"

He clicked send. Dee despite being pretty good, he noticed she got tired rather quickly and her blocking was only good sometimes if her stamina and blocking ability wasn't raised higher above the chart he didn't know how long she could survive in this war.

?"Soon a ping came from his comm "Understood General, will be sorted, may we ask why

He thought for a moment before he started typing

"Dee's pretty decent at lightsaber fights but actual blocking and her ability to hold out for long isn't the best, I need her trained up if she's going to be 2nd in command"

When Cody got a ping from his comm, he expected it to be from Stitches that Waxer and Boil fucked something up not his General that he respected very much

The message read the following

  ",Cody, please assemble a team of 16 men including yourself and be by the dock of the landing bay of the Negotiator by 700"

Cody started at the message for a moment before typing his reply out

"Understood General, will be sorted, may we ask why ?" he hoped he wasn't being too nosy in the Generals business after a moment came the reply.

 ",Dee's pretty decent in actual combat, but her stamina wouldn't reply with the same thing, if she's to be the second in Command, she needs training"

Ah it was the kid, he couldn't blame him really, at first when he looked at her, he thought she was a random kid from Christophosis his General picked up, not his higher up. He also didn't get how she and Rex's commander wore such light clothes during a warzone but not his business.

"Understood Sir, we'll be there by 655" he typed out and assembled the team.

The team was Himself, Boil, Waxer, Longshot, Stitches, Kicker, Storm, Blanket, Saw, Lynch , Hatch, Bits, Rumble, Soup and two shinies, he thought that they might need some target practice gahh that sounds bad but its true, when he assembled the squad it was time for questions.

Using his Commander for target practise is NOT what Alpha taught them but regardless.

"Why are we going to the dock bay?" Waxer asked 

"The General requested us to help train the Commander,"

"But you're the commander ?" one of the shinies asked, ah shinies, brains are as shiny as that armor.

"Not him, the other Commander, the child" Boil replied, Boil- Cody didn't know if Boil really liked the Commander, but it looked like Boil didn't like anybody really.

"Theres a child on the field ?!" Blanket and Stitches both medics asked, ah yep, probably not the best telling them this in public, way to go Kote.

"Yes, from what I've heard High General Yoda thought she is ready for it so is Rex's Commander," He defended the girl

"Can we try using smoke bombs ?" Rumble the explosives expert asked, leave it to Rumble to ask to give their Commander and asthma attack,

"Bring that up with the General, Right men off to the barracks, we've got a Commander to train tomorrow"

"Dee, get up" 

Dee was expecting that her master would let her sleep till 700 not wake her up so that she'll be ready for 700, this Jedi business was beginning to sound like a scam, or maybe it would the tiredness silently sniping her.

She grumbled while getting out of bed and putting her outfit on, she pinned her hair into a ponytail and when she stepped out she sort of look like death hit her seventy four times.

"What are we doing" she asked "Ahsoka and Anakin aren't even up ?!" she longed to be Ahsoka or Anakin right now.

"Come Dee we've got training to do"

Training what kind of training ? It's too early for the temple trainings to begin isn't it ?

As they walked to the docking bay of the Negotiator she saw 16 men, she only recognised Cody the rest she had no idea who they were.

"Men, this is Commander Sorin" Cody said while gesturing to her, Dee just waved awkwardly. She heard some murmers of 'wow she's young' or 'this is the commander' She was a bit bothered by it, Like okay where did, don't judge a holo by the cover go ? but they'd get to see how good she was in a moment.

"Alright let's explain the exercise , Set your guns to stun, Dee you have to be ready for anything on the battlefield" Obi wan started 

"But Cody's men are leagues ahead of the tinnies ?" She butted in, what is going to happen ? 

"Exactly, if you can hold them off, you'll be able to hold anything off, well anything with a blaster" she nodded and ignited her saber a white blade sparked out humming it's same song that in 4 months shes gotten used to hearing.

"Feel the intention of the trooped that'll shoot first" 

She felt one of the shinies on the left pull the trigger, she blocked it, another 2 she blocked it, 1 blocked, 3 blocked, 4 blocked, oh this was easy, she started doing flips and cartwheels to dodge them too, 4 blocked, but as she started to block faster they began to shoot faster too, it was fine at first but then she started to feel overwhelmed, who was shooting? where do I block ? She swinged her saber creating an arch of white as she was focused on that, she didn't notice that the shiny who shot first, shot her again and tagged her, she felt herself go still, then tired, then she dropped down.

"I'm so sorry General I didn't mean to" CT-2568 began

"It's fine. This was the point of the exercise, to try tag her out" He replied, looking down on the fallen lump of his padawan If this happen in battle... stop thinking about this, this is why you're training her, so it doesn't happen.

"General , how long will she be out for ?" Cody asked already kneeling beside Dee

"Hard to say, knowing how hard she was to wake up this morning I'll say she'll be out for a good hour" 

"General how did you even end up with a child?" Boil asked

"Master Yoda saw her fight me at the temple, he must've thought she was good enough to be a padawan at her age" he explained, recalling the pure concentration on Dee's face as she tried to aim for a chicken leg on him.

"Then why'd she get knocked out ?" Rumble asked clearly not trying to be mean, just not very subtle with his question.

"Being good among other initiates isn't the same as being good overall she might've been the highest in her class then but now she's by the lower end" as he finished he saw her start stirring slightly, maybe she'll wake up faster then imagined.

"What about Skywalkers Padawan" Blanket asked 

"What about her ?" Obi wan asked

"Well is she good ? is she better ?"Blanket continued 

"Well she's a year or maybe less older I think so she's had more classes but I'd say they're around the same level of skills, I'll have to bring her and Anakin down here sometimes" there wasn't an answer after that, only silence for 30 minutes while they waited for Dee to wake. 

"General do you think she'll wake up soon it's nearly 800-" Cody started but Dee started to stir and move 

"alright I'm up, how long was I out for?" Dee asked while sitting up

"Nearly an hour, CT-2568 really tagged you" Cody explained while giving a glare to the other clone 

"It's okay I needed it really cheers Striker" she said stretching, she heard CT-2568 mutter to himself "Striker yeah I like that" she grinned and stood up, she felt herself sway to the side.

"Yes that does tend to happen once you get stunned out" Obi wan told her she nodded getting back on her feet.

"Alright round two ?" he asked, the clones didn't wait for her to grab her saber, she blocked and blocked and blocked it seemed a bit slower then last time but she also felt slower.

Block right left it felt weird she'd probably fight better with two saber she might not even get that tired Block left right right left .

And it got to her while doing a flip she tripped and before she could try duck she got stunned out.

When she woke up and stood up she only heard the words "Again" before the blasts happened, she only managed to block the blasts for 5 minutes before she got stunned again 

"Try Again" One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight blasts and she got stunned, she counted, why was this getting so tiring and why did doing to flip hurt so much and why were her legs getting wobbly ?

"Again" One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven blasts and she was out again, what if the clones were getting annoyed she was getting out so easily ?.

"She's waking up faster, Again" Ugh. One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six and she's out again but is she really getting faster at waking up from stun shots ? It didn't matter she may be waking up faster but she was getting actively slower and worse at blocking.

"Again" One, Two, Three, Four, Five and she's out, why everytime she wakes up she blocks one less blast then she did the last time ?

"Again" this time she had to block atleast ten One, Two, Three, Four and she's out this is humiliating! 4 rounds ago when she got knocked out she could block 8 blasts now only half of that.

"Again" One, Two, Three out again this was like a countdown she could barely move her feet while blocking she felt heavier then normally.

"Again" C'mon Dee you have to get a better score One, Two and out again this was going horribly, this was humiliating.

"Again" One. only once she managed to block the blast this round, next round she'd block 10.

"Again" she didn't even block one, she couldn't see her eyes were too blurry, she didn't even get the chance to pick up her saber the second it fired she couldn't see or sense it.

After she awoke she heard ol' smarty talking and dreaded the words 'Again' but he said "Good job you were only out for 10 minutes that time, Alright men head back to the barracks as me and Dee have to head home. Dee stood up and wobbled to the side, her legs felt awfully heavy and ached.

While walking back Dee felt her feet get less heavy

"Master when I was blocking the blasts I saw my vision get blurry and my feet got heavy" she told him, what if this meant she wasn't fit enough and had to get sent back ?

"Normal side effect of getting stunned out, however being able to wear the effects off can come in handy in the future" he told her "It's normal to not be able to hold them off long at the start Dee"

"But yesterday during the battle I was able to take them down well I think ?"

"That was your adrenaline Dee also you could slice those droids, you couldn't slice your own men, you could only deflect those blasts onto them"

"I can do that ? is that even possible"

"Yes you can, it takes practise" 

"Urgh enough practise for today, I need a shower and breakfast" she told him walking through the door and being greeted by Ahsoka and Anakin 

"Whats up with you ?" Ahsoka asked her 

"Torture" Dee replied

"Training" Obi wan replied "oh come on Dee it wasn't that bad" 

"Yes it was, it was horrible" 

"Go wash up, you stink" 

"I wonder why" she smirked while walking into the Fresher'. 

After showering and eating Anakins toast which was a bit burnt she went to tinkering with her little project.

Dee sucked at mechanics mostly but she knew the basics mostly and she watched enough holovids, read enough archives to say she knew what she was doing.

She was coding the grid map when Skyguy opened her door 

"Hey Tiny, Obi wan and Ahsoka are out buying clothe-- whats that" he asked looking at her little rectangle 

"Don't laugh it's something I've been working on" She told him already assuming he was going to make fun of her.

"What is it ?" he said sitting down 

"Well it's supposed to be a comm" she said pressing a small red button that showed her contacts "but its supposed to also be a grid map" she said clicking two other buttons which pulled up a map but it had nothing on them "There's also supposed to be a live radio whatever it's called on there but I dunno how to install it" she told him 

"Pretty decent idea tiny, didn't know you were good with mechanics" 

"I'm not, I suck at them, I barely know the basics, I watched holovids and read at the archives trying to make up for it" 

"Okay then... if something I know how to pull the grid mans and live radio onto it" he offered she hesitated before placing it onto his hands.

" Don't break it, it's my pride and joy skyguy"

"Alright then tiny" she rolled her eyes, he rolled his eyes back.

"Soooo if you and Ahsoka get sent on a mission, and I'm stuck here or somewhere boring, could you take me so I can get eh visual experience"

"Visual experience ?" Anakin asked while pressing somethings together

"I'd rather be out there in the open then like the archives or meditate"

"sure, I mean I can say that we need a second Commander for help" Dee was surprised at how easy he was to convince.

"Why'd you look so shocked Tiny ?"

"I didn't expect you say 'sure' so quickly " she replied 

"Eh it's no biggie" okayyy... man this was awkward

"what are we doing after this ?" she asked

"well once Obi wan and Snips return with the clothes we should go to Dex's" respectfully, who or what the FUCK is Dex's

"Cool... What's Dexs ?"

"Wait you've never been to Dex's ?" Anakin asked amazed great I'm going to be made fun of.

"No, you're not really allowed anywhere instead of the temple"

"Oh yeah, its great though, foods great" Cheers Anakin, that just told so so so much.

"mhm" she replied what else could've been her reply

"So what were you and Master Kenobi doing in the morning" Anakin asked Dee already felt herself get tired at even thinking of it

"Ugh it was a blocking exercise but I kept getting stunned every like 3 minutes so I could barely see or stand in the end, probably spent more time unconscious then actually blocking the blasts" Anakin chuckled at her answer

"Well you might do it again tomorrow " Dee felt her eyes widen at his words.

"Kriff no" she muttered

"heres the comm or grid map, whatever it is" he said handing it back "I downloaded a few maps onto it"

She pressed a few buttons and the grid maps actually showed up, she started smiling at it

"Thanks Skyguy ! I'll maybe use this next mission" she grinned.

The door opened, in came Ahsoka Tano and Obi wan Kenobi, Anakin cleared his throat.

"Alright then unpack the clothes later, Tiny doesn't know who or what Dex's is so we have got to get going" He stated even Obi wan looked shocked

"Dee do you not know what Dexes is ?" he asked, she shook her head

"Crazy even I know that" Ahsoka added confidently

"Ahsoka you only know that because I took you there for a milkshake " Obi wan reminded her

"And you didn't take me ?! I'm your padawan" Dee asked faking offence 

"You were kind of at home Dee and we're going there anyways" He replied

"Fair, Anyways lets get going" she said standing up and walking towards the door "c'mon ain't got all day" she said in a horrible cowboy accent she heard in the holo, she couldn't hold in her laugh, nobody could, everyone started giggling.

Chapter Text

Dee and Ahsoka were extremily proud of themselves, they were allowed to have their own squadron of clones on Felucia instead of fighting alongside their masters. Suddenly she heard her masters voice cut through her comm as she blocked another blast

"Dee, Ahsoka where are you ? What is your location ?"

"ABOUT 6 CLICKS EAST MASTER, ME AND AHSOKA HAVE ENGAGED THE ENEMY AND HAVE THEM ON THE RUN"

"We're coming to extract you, we're leaving" why is her master, oh great smarty, trying to make her fail, she and Ahsoka are basically winning.. right ?

"WHY, WE CAN'T RETREAT NOW MASTER, THE TINNIES ARE ON THE RUN ! WE'VE BROKEN THROUGH !"

"WE'RE OUT NUMBERED YOU MUST RETREAT NOW!" Dee couldn't stand it, she turned her comm off, Obi wan could thank her once she and Ahsoka saved Felucia 

"Did you just turn your comm off when your master was talking to you ?" Ahsoka asked

"Yeah, I'll probably get yelled at, it's okay I'll say it disconnected" Dee replied, she was regretting her choice now but what can she do "If skyguy or smarty call you don't connect it'll make my lie less believable" 

"Okay dee..." Ahsoka replied looking a bit shocked but agreed anyways.

"Don't worry I'll take the blame" she said while blocking a blast that was about to hit Ash. She saw the gunships start landing infront of her.

"WHAT ARE THEY DOING ?" Ahsoka asked Dee

"I DUNNO BUT I'M ABOUT TO GET SHIT ON" Dee replied, Ahsoka smirked.

"GET IN THE SHIP NOW YOU TWO!" Anakin yelled at them

"OH FORCE CAN'T YOU TWO SEE THAT THEY'RE RETREATING ?" Dee yelled at him

"THEY'RE ABOUT TO OVERRUN YOU, YOU JUST CAN'T SEE IT, NOW GET IN THE GUNSHIP NOW" Dee looked at Ahsoka who looked like she wouldn't, she grabbed her friends arm and jumped down and didn't dare look into skyguys eyes, nor obi wans, she just looked at the ground, falsing regret, but then felt the real deal when the tank exploaded.

Dee felt sick in the council room standing between Ahsoka, Her master and Ahsoka's master, soon Mace Windu began speaking.

"Padawan Ahsoka and Dee, do you feel Master Kenobi's description of the inncident accurate" Mace Windu asked, Dee looked at her master ' what a snitch' she thought

"Yes" Ahsoka replied immediately, Dee didn't she felt offended that her master snitched

"Padawan Sorin, do you find the description accurate ?" Mace Windu asked, she felt like he was trying to force her to lose it and yell.

"Yes" she said with more attitude then intended 

"More to add, do you two ?" Master Yoda asked

"We know what we did was wrong we just got carried away in the moment and in our success we didn't look at the battle as a whole" Ahsoka told the masters, Dee was gritting her teeth so hard she swore they were about to break, she decided to add her own.

"We weren't being disobedient, we just forgot" 

"Master's this incident is a complete accident and my responsibility, I don't know about Obi wan and Dee but because of Ahsoka's advanced abilities I forgot how young she is, I gave her more freedom then I should have" Anakin spoke for Ahsoka only meaning that Obi wan would speak for Dee oh she already assigned herself mentally to having to like meditate for 14 hours she took deep breaths anticipating for the moment.

"Any words Obi wan" Ah here comes the final blow to finish off her freedom and joy.

"I agree with Anakin, I gave Dee too much freedom while forgetting how giving someone so young so much freedom usually results in," Dee could jump with joy, she wasn't going to have to meditate for 14 hours, hopefully.. ?

"This does not excuse what happened on Felucia, I think they deserve some punishment" Oh of course kriffass master window wants to give padawans punishments, Dee's never been more glad to not be someones padawan.

"On archive security, these two will go, to reflect on your actions you will" Master Yoda told them, Dee just nodded her head, this was arguably better then having to loaf around and meditate.

"Guard duty!?.... Fine... for how long ?" Ahsoka asked great watch it be increased.

"Longer now" Oh this bi--

As they got dropped off Dee couldn't help but try one final trick,

"So master, what if I need like emergency training with the clones y'know ?" Dee offered

"I will come for you if it's needed "

"Yeah but-"

"You were given a punishment by the council so you have to do it"

"It's not fair, it's just because master window doesn't like people who are better then him!" 

"Dee you are comparing yourself to a trained Jedi Master in skill-"

"I'm not saying I'm more powerful, I'm saying I'm more likeable and funny and nonchal-" 

"If you continue this you will be given even more time in the archives" Dee grumbled at his words and started walking further up with Ahsoka, fury boiling under her, not only did her master snitch but master windu decided to get his sticky fingers involved, as she approached she realised that Anakin and Ahsoka had finished their chat.

"Woah Dee I can literally feel your fury radiating off you " Anakin told her

"You can thank the beloved window for that" Dee replied

"Dee.." Obi wan began

"For what all you know I could be talking about that window I whammed into earlier" she answered "I'm not" she added quietly.

"Madam Jocasta, this is Ahsoka Tano and Dee Sorin, they are to help you as security " Obi wan introduced them.

"Hello Madam Jocasta" Dee said, her voice went slightly more cheerful and young instead of her usual voice 

"So good to meet you two" The old master began, she seemed much nicer and somehow calmed Dee after she had her blood boiled by her punishment, maybe this wouldn't be too bad. Skyguy and Smarty began walking away

"Let's show you around" She told the two girls, Dee couldn't help but see Madam Jocasta as like a grandma figure well she was close to her own grandma,grandpops and parents, Dee remembered her grandparents and parents she only came to the temple a few months ago because Dooku raided the planet where they lived and Master Shaak Ti found her. Dee smiled at Ahsoka, this wouldn't be as bad as she thought.

"There is more knowledge here then anywhere in the galaxy" She told the girls

"Master Kenobi said that there are texts here forbidden to read" Ahsoka told the Master, This was the first time Dee heard about this.

"Forbidden, Why ? why are they forbidden it can't be that bad ?" She said while uncrossing her arms and gesturing them.

"The archives hold many secrets, it is true, beyond this door is the Holocron Vault, the Holocron contains the most closely guarded secrets of the Jedi order" The old master explained

"How would I be able to look at them ? what would I learn ? If Master Kenobi took me here and gave me permission, not that he will for a long long time but if he would, since he's a Jedi Master would I be able to read one ?" She asked stumbling over her own words since it came out too quickly

Madam Jocasta smiled at her "it is for you to figure out," " Good morning Master Fisto," she added as they saw the Master, he flashed them a grin and went inside the Vault.

"I haven't been inside myself for years only members of the Jedi council are allowed to enter it" So her master could give her a cheeky tour of the vault.

"Guarding the Holocrons is one of the most important jobs a Jedi can be given, young ones, do you feel like you are up to the task" She added 

"Definitely" Ahsoka replied

"For sure" Dee answered

Dee's been hearing rumors about the Temple maybe being broken into wondering if she should she did, she opened her comm and typed out a message.

"Hey Master, I know you're probably mad at me but I'm worried, I've been hearing rumors about the Temple being brokean into please reply when you can. " She quickly glanced over it, she didn't see any spelling errors so she clicked send.

"Dee did you hear the rumors ?" Ahsoka asked running up to her 

"Yeah I did. I sent Master Kenobi a message on my comm" as she finished a ping from it meaning he must've replied or her other friends were spamming her.

"Dee, we are currently doing our best to find out if the temple has been broken into or is being planned into being broken into, also I am not mad at you, you did exactly what Anakin would have and has done in the past, ps it's spelt broken, not brokean" Dee felt her cheeks heat up at the last part but showed it to Ahsoka anyways.

"Wow that's not very helpful but atleast he replied, Skyguy told me it's not for me to worry about" Ahsoka replied

"Mhm, hey when this punishment wears off can we make a group and call it "Family " with a little heart at the end" Dee joked, Ahsoka giggled.

Ahsoka and Dee wandered about the archives after having chat after chat they started getting bored quick.

"Ugh if nothing or nobody passes by here I'll start reading the archives" Dee groaned

"We should do that in our free time"

"'In our free time we should read the archives' whose possessed you Ash " Dee giggled, Ahsoka giggled back until she saw a Jedi master approaching and elbowed Dee in the gut, Dee suddenly straighted up, she didn't know his name but maybe he could bail her and Ahsoka out of here.

"Good afternoon Master Enisence" Ahsoka greeted warmly, Dee squinted her eyes at the man trying to read him, he must be a Jedi master yet he walked around like he had now idea where to go, theres something off about him.

"Uh- good afternoon young ones"

"May we be of assistance " Dee's mind kept going over 'uh good afternoon young ones' or more specifically 'uh' in it and how he sound a bit unsure when he said 'young ones' it's normal for Jedi to say 'young one' why did he seem unsure of what to say ?

"No, I mean no thank you, I don't want to bother you two " He replied

"Trust us it wouldn't be a bother" Dee told him "Considering the fact you seem like you don't know where to go" she added on herself in her mind.

"Yeah it wouldn't at all be one things are slow right now " Ahsoka said skipping up to him

"Thank you, I'll be fine on my own" Master Enisence told them

"You sure ?" Ahsoka asked

"Look youngling, I said I was fine, now let me go about my business" what a prick

"Look I heard the Jedi are trying to catch and intruder, why aren't you getting involved" Dee asked him

"Mind your own business youngling" He replied at her without turning around

"Why did you say that ? now he might make us stay here longer !" she hissed, her nails clawing into Dee's left arm, she yelped and Ahsoka let go

"Don't you see, it there's supposed to be a break in why is he here instead of guarding something else" Dee replied rubbing her left arm

"Maybe Master Yoda told him to guard the Holocrons "

"Why would they need another extra Jedi when they've already got 3 here ? look I'm not suggesting anything lets just keep an eye on him okay ?" Dee asked

"Fine, I guess we can't do anything right these days " Ahsoka answered

"It's grand, let's go see if anyone else possibly entered or let's see if theres any news" Dee offered, she nearly shit herself when she saw that the temple was placed on high alert, the intruders must've arrived.

Ahsoka suddenly got a message through her comm, it was Master Yoda.

"Padawans, alert you must be sense deception, I do, posing as Jedi the intruder may be, find Master Jocasta you two must" As Yoda finished "MASTER ENISENCE I KNEW IT!" Dee yelled out, soon enough she got a call from master Kenobi

"Yes Master ?"

"Dee, Ahsoka if you're there, has anyone entered the Archives ?" Her master asked

"If I had to guess probably Master Enisence, I knew he was acting weird, c'mon Ahsoka, bye master" She said as she switched her comm off

"Where would he be hiding the archives are massive and what would he be looking for ?" Ahsoka asked 

"Probably knowledge of the Jedi thats unknown to the public ? I don't know we just need to find him and ask him a few questions " Dee replied as she finished they both sprinted off.

"Bane the two Jedi" she heard the grandmotherly figure speak 'Bane whose Bane and two Jedi ? unless' her mind thought 'unless the poser is posed as Master Jocasta' she thought as she jumped out igniting her saber, a white blade sparked to life igniting the wannabe's face.

"Who are you and what have you done with Master Jocasta" Ahsoka asked

"The same thing I'm going to do to you two" She replied as she ignited her saber, Ahsoka ducked, Dee on the other hand swung her saber viciously, the woman, man whoever was under the mask began running, her and Ahsoka sprinted after.

They both swung their sabers with full force at the fake, Ahsoka dropped her saber when the fake swung hers, Dee managed to grip onto hers tightly, all she could think of was her training and how she kept tripping what if she tripped now ? CLASH ! blue and white blades collided together, No she made it just fine on the battlefield she would be fine now.

Ahsoka found her blade again and attack 2 on 1 was much much easier than 1 on 1 in Dee's opinion, they were jumping over the fakes head left and right up and down, all Dee could think was 'don't trip don't trip don't you dare trip up right now'.

Madam Jocastas fake started sprinting Dee and Ahsoka smirked at eachother, Dee sped up and Ahsoka used the Force to trip the faker up, Dee shoved her saber right up the fakers face as Ahsoka arrived beside her.

"You may have Madam Jocasta's face but you don't have her style," Ahsoka told her "Nor do you have ours" She added on looking at Dee who smirked back, the shape formed back into what Dee recognised as a Changeling.

"Silly little young Jedi, so foolish, the intruder is in the Holocron Vault," The changeling spoke

"How can we trust you ?" Dee asked

"There's nothing better for me now is there and I doubt Bane will come to my rescue all I can hope for is a trial " She answered, Dee hesitated before clicking her comm.

"Master, we've caught the intruder, it's a changeling, she say's the intruder is in the Holocron Vault" Dee spoke into her comm

"A Holocron is no good without a Jedi to open it" He replied, she wasn't sure if it was to her or to Anakin who she knew was beside him because she heard his sneeze and they disconnected.

"Not really helpful are they ?" Ahsoka asked, she took Dee's place with having her Saber at the Changlings neck while Dee have to make a call.

"Nope, all we can hope is that they figure out whats going on " Dee replied 

She heard an explosion somewhere above her. "I don't think they figured it out" She added while tying the changlings hands behind her.

As they walked the changling out they spotted Master Jocasta.

"Madam Librarian are you okay ?" Ahsoka asked the old master 

"I think I'm alright, we must call security" The old master replied.

As they walked out Dee felt an urge to turn her head, but why theres nobody here ? She did so but there infact was nobody there, why did she want to do that ? 

"A war operation, it was never about" Master Yoda said looking at the missing Holocron, Dee could feel tears building up, she failed ? how did they steal the Holocron, was it this 'Bane' fellow the faker spoke to on the comms ?

"c'mon changling we have a new home for you" Ahsoka said leading the changling behind, Dee stood between her master and Skywalker.

"what would someone want with a Holocron" Master Kenobi asked, Dee looked up at him

"Wait.. Bolla Ropal " the changeling hissed, Dee wondered if this was her real face or a fake one.

"Who ?" Dee asked crossing her arms

"Thats who Bane's next target it, some Jedi" She answered 

"Whats wrong, who is Bolla Ropal ?" Skyguy asked, asking everyones question while at it.

"He is the keeper of the Kyber crystal, the data on which only can be read by on the Holocrons " Master Windu answered

"What's on the crystal ?" Ahsoka asked 

"A list of every Force Sensitive known in the galaxy" He replied again "The future younglings, the future of the Jedi order" 

"We have to warn him" Master Obi wan said 

"Thats going to be hard to do, he's out of contact, somewhere in the Devon system"

"Seek him out, you must" Yoda said 

"Ahsoka and I will set out at once" Anakin stated

"Dee will go along, if this Bane fellow can fool us this easily then it's better to have more Jedi then less, you have to set out immediately, if this Cad Bane is still on Coruscant which I doubt, I'll find him" Obi wan offered, Dee looked up at her, he winked,

"Come along then Tiny" Anakin told her in which she followed.

EVA suit, picture her hair in a ponytail ^^

Standing on a ship that was getting kriffed on was hard, but Dee was getting better at it, she was no longer nearly falling every 13 seconds like during the mission on Felucia. As Skyguy walked in the clone began talking.

"General Skywalker, our base has been overrun! There's no possibility of evacuation! They've taken General Ropal and the Holocron memory crystal." The clone told them, this wasn't good, not good at all.

"Do you know where they've taken them?" Anakin asked the clone.

"Sorry, sir. We tried to stop them, but they left the outpost." He answered but the hologram began to glitch out.

"Wait a second. There's too much interference. Transmitter's been destroyed at the source, sir." The dully

"We have to find out what ship Bolla Ropal is on!" Anakin commanded as and they ran up towards the command center.

"General, a Separatist command ship is fleeing the battle." The admiral told them

"Would it have Master Ropal on it ?" Dee asked while Ahsoka nodded

"I'd be sure of it" Anakin replied, welp time to get into an EVA suit Dee thought.

"Admiral, intercept them before they can jump to hyperspace. I'll ready the troops for boarding." Anakin told the Admiral, ayy now we're getting somewhere.

"Boarding? We have no boarding craft. We were prepared to land on the planet, not aboard another ship. You can't be serious." To be fair she didn't blame him, they didn't have a single boarding craft so however Skyguy was planning to pull this stunt it have to be a good one.

"I am, Admiral. Thank you for your opinion. Now, target their hyperdrive. We don't want them getting away." Anakin said as she felt the guns churn towards the fleeting ships hyperdrive.

"I've rounded up three brigades, sir. Where are we going? " Captain Rex asked Anakin

"We're going to board a Separatist frigate, rescue Master Ropal and recover an archive holocron." Anakin replied, unlike how Dee thought she would be feeling, she was pretty pumped, this was going to be exciting somehow like her first time boarding a seppy ship, but probably not the last.

"We have no assault craft, sir. Only a couple of fighters and The Twilight." Rex answered Anakin glared at him

"Awaiting for order, sir." Rex added quickly

"And the plan is ?" Ahsoka asked

"Ah knowinig Skyguy Ash, it probably involves using something like the Walkers to board the ship " Dee joked to Ahsoka as the Admiral walked down "I came down to see if I could be of any help, General Skywalker." He told them 

"Not a bad idea Tiny, Admiral activate those walkers!" Anakin answered Dee felt herself pale at the idea itself and blush with pride that it was being used.

"You are not thinking of using those to transport the clones to that frigate." the Admiral asked 

"Well they are pressurized" Ahsoka started

"Wouldn't that mean they need to have magnetic feet then ?" Dee asked

"They sure do, kid" Rex told her, Dee could help but feel like Rex was a pretty big piece nicer then Commander Cody.

"Master your plan is genius " Ahsoka told him

"Ah I had inspiration" Skyguy replied, good, he's not stealing credit. 

"Those walkers are designed for terrain, not space." the Admiral fought, this was going to be a battle loss for him

"Rex, load them up. Snips, Tiny let's go!" Anakin told them

"Execute Battalion, take AT-AT 300! Carnivore Battalion, Walker 773! Let's go!" She heard Rex behind her as the trio ran towards the walkers 

Dee had to admit, EVA suits were REALLY awkward to wear, first she had to force her hair into a bun to fit the fish tank over her head, second of all it just looked off, wearing leggings was comfortable though, she had to admit, Ahsoka's one looked even more awkward then hers, she couldn't tell why though.

As they landed on the Separatist's ship she ignited her blade, holding it in reverse grip, she saw the tinnies run away once the blasts started it wasn't long until the Seps own defence arrived, Dee didn't know what these tinnies were called, she gambled and said these were hyena droids. Her, Skyguy and Ash jumped off and sliced them down,

"R2!" Anakin said calling the droid over who plugged in and opened the entrance for them, now it was time for the real fight to start.

Slicing the droids were easy, it seemed like they weren't even trying to fight 

"don't shoot I'm not the commander he is" A droid painted yellow said, if she had to guess, the painted droid was probably the commander, both got gunned down.

"R2 see if you can find Master Ropal" Anakin told the R2 unit, Dee felt alot better since she shed her bubble fish tank thing, and her bun, she now only wore a ponytail, which made her feel arguably less awkward.

"One authentic Jedi holocron and the memory crystal I was after." Bane's holocron said, he looked mad ugly

"Oh no! He has both pieces now!" Ahsoka said, Dee only nodded 

"Rex, send a squad, lock down the hangar bay and destroy all the escape pods. No one gets off this ship!" Anakin told the Captain.

"Yes, sir." 

"Artoo you have to find Master Ropal quickly !" Dee told the R2D2 unit as the ship jerked "What was that ?" She added

"General Skywalker, one of the engines on that frigate has exploded. I caution you to avoid the aft section." She heard the Admirals voice

"How much damage is there ?" Anakin asked

"I suggest immediate evacuation."

"Not until we get what we came for" Dee was petrified but this is what war is isn't it ?

They were checking the cells aboard the ships, using the Force to check them was pretty cool, but the reason for it wasn't it was upsetting.

"Master, Dee, I've found him." She said looking down, as she and Skyguy arrived they understood why

Master Ropal lay dead on the floor, silent, still.

"Rex have some men take Master Ropal back to the Resolute" Anakin told the captain

"We might not be able to find the holocron in time, Master" Ahsoka told him

"But if it's destroyed with the ship, Ugly wont get it either " Dee added

"Maybe, but I'd rather return it to the library personally " Anakin said as the lights went out

"Kriff" Dee muttered, now she couldn't see.

"C'mon artoo" Ahsoka said leading up to front.

R2 let out a few series of beeps which Dee only understood 'close' and 'sharp'

"Artoo says we're close, stay sharp" Anakin translated, all three Jedi were using their Saber's as a beacon of light, she briefly saw Rex bang his head on a pipe that Ahsoka just ducked under

"Ow! Switch to night vision." Rex commanded "There" He added as all clones put some goggle things over their eyes, Dee saw a figure run out, without thinking she bolted towards and turned right.

"TINY WAIT" She heard Anakin behind her, she didn't have time for waiting, she needed the Holocron NOW.

She did hear footsteps behind her meaning the others were too in pursuit but she was further up the doors closed behind them and the lights lit up, what a way for a dramatic entrance.

"Welcome Jedi, We've been expecting you, Kill them!" He said beginning to shoot at them, the three Jedi charged forwards at the bounty hunting slime 

"Lockdown" she heard him mutter "Lockdown? what is lockdown? she thought to herself soon she understood, all the gravity was lost and they began floating and getting shot at, it was harder to block blasts once the gravity was gone 

"Magnetics, you were trained for this !" Rex told the other clones, they might've been trained for this, but Dee wasn't just don't tell dear ol' master smarty as she'll get more torturous training once she gets back.

"R2 turn the gravity generator back on" Ahsoka told the droid while Dee blocked the blasts, doing anything felt a bit like swimming, 

Duck. Slice. Cut. Swing that was the order Dee felt herself doing well until the gravity was turned back on, she cut her lip on something and felt the taste of blood on her tongue. She saw Bane snatch the Holocron back up.

"Oh no you don't you motherkarker" She said while standing up and rushing after him 

"Dee wait it's a trap" Anakin told her, it was fine though she heard Ahsoka getting up which ment she was probably going after her.

"DEE, AHSOKA WAIT WE'LL ALL TAKE HIM TOGETHER" He yelled again didn't matter she needed to chase him quick and Ahsoka was behind her, she heard another door closing.

"DEE WAIT" that was Ahsoka's voice wait what ? she turned her head quickly, kriff ! Ahsoka wasn't behind her! Didn't matter, this guy didn't wield a saber he only had a gun, Master Kenobi trained her for this, she could take him.

Finally he stopped

"Did your old self finally get tired and thought you could slip away" Her voice sounded a lot tougher than she thought it would, she believed it would sound a bit like a squeak.

"You're not much of a challenge little Jedi" He told her, was he trying to make fun of her ?

"You'll think differently, when I'm done with you, infact you won't be able to think!" She told him, he pulled out his blaster and shot, she deflected it and it bounced off ooo was this was Master Kenobi told her of ? He looked hurt enough.

Swing. Slash. Duck. Jump. Left. Swing. Right. Slash was the order she fought with.

"This isn't hard ya know" She told him, trying to get a reaction, she was the one who got a reaction because she stumbled and fell, dropping her saber. She saw him point his gun at her, she quickly pushed herself with the Force under his legs and grabbed her saber slashing at him until he dropped his gun and was on the floor, she felt the blood from her lip sting a bit but otherwise she felt great.

"Not so tough after all" She told him, she saw him jerk forwards with an electric smell filling the air, wait what why? OH SHIT! She didn't have time to react, she only fell to the ground.

She woke up, she hoped it was only a few minutes and saw her hands bore cuffs.

"LET ME OUT" She yelled at him spitting a bit of blood from her lip.

He tutted at her only

"I'LL USE THE FORCE TO HURT YOU" She warned, she didn't even know how to but she'd figure it out.

"Oh silly little Jedi" He began, clicking something on his arm which made her body seer up with electricity "I don't think you can" He added as she fell unconcious once again if she was conscious, she would've whined or yelped, this hurt, it hurt a lot.

The second time she awoke she was furious, she hated him, hate, hate, hate she looked over and saw Ahsoka behind her, except she didn't have her braid, cruel jerk ! Dee looked at the blue monster she imagined his wrist bending she felt a spike in her head, it felt good for some reason , she saw it bend, bend, bend until it was nearly at a 100° ish angle Bane was trying to use his other had to shock her, she focused on both hands imagining them snap painfully, what was she doing ? shes a Jedi! in her moment of realisation Bane pinned his hand again the wall and it clicked a button somewhere forcing the eletricity to shoot up again, this time she knew what was coming,

She tried to fight it and only stood for about 2 minutes but those 2 minutes felt like hours and she thought of good things, she used the Force through her mind maybe she could force her cuffs to unlock themselves, think, OW, think, think, OW she couldn't think this hurt ! it burned it made her hurt and being hurt made her furious, Ahsoka was hurt because of her OW THINK UNLOCK THESE STUPID CUFFS she mentally yelled to herself, she wanted to cry, she wanted to throw up because of what she nearly did but she didn't want to give Bane the satisfaction  that she's some weakling but maybe she deserved to give him that satisfaction ? she's nearly used a trick that dark side users would probably used ? but she fell again but as her mind began to quiet she heard a quiet gentle click, did this mean that her cuffs were unlocked ?

It didn't matter, it didn't change the fact that she felt guilt crawling up her stomach.

Anakin was racing through the hallways, feeling Ahsoka and Dee fall through the Force gave him a huge spurt of energy, he also felt a lot of rage and fury coming from Ahsoka at first but later Dee, he also felt a lot of pain from his former master's padawan, he was scared about what could've happened. He slashed the 3 droids down with one sweep, pathetic.

As the door opened he saw Ahsoka crouching on the ground beside Dee who laid unmoving, pain crossed her features, her lip bleeding, Ahsoka was shaking her gently trying to wake her up, he briefly saw her eyelids flutter until she was awake, she muttered something to Ahsoka who only gave a slight nod and stood infront of her.

"You've got nowhere to run Bounty Hunting scum " He told the discusting creature how dare he hurt them ? they're only children !

"Let me worry about that, Jedi. If I activate this control, the outside airlock will open and they will be sucked into oblivion. Do you think you can kill me and then save them before they're pulled out into space? It's a horrible way to die. Besides, isn't negotiation the Jedi way?" He taunted, how dare he ? How physically dare he ?

"What do you want ?" He asked through gritted teeth and deactivating his saber

"This Holocron carries information I've been paid to collect. I can't unlock it, but you can. The last Jedi who had it wouldn't open it. I hope you don't make the same mistake. We don't have much time. Hurry it up, Jedi, or the two younglings die!"

"DON'T DO IT MASTER" Ahsoka yelled

"Don't do it skyguy!" Dee yelled at him, she was sitting now beside Ahsoka her cuffs were removed, why would Bane remove her cuffs ? She was holding Ahsoka's hand and her right hand looked like it was ready to grab onto something.

"I can't let you two die" He told her

"Master NO!" Ahsoka told him while Dee shook her head, she looked like she was about to cry, they both were

"We'll deal with the Holocron later" He told them while placing the saber down 

"How touching " Bane told him almost mockingly

Dee wanted to cry, she was about to anyways, why couldn't she wake up faster ? Maybe she could've opened the door somehow and escaped with Ahsoka, now Anakin was crouching and about the unlock the secrets of the order to this FREAK !

The Holocron made a screeching sound she couldn't listen to, she hated it, she hated herself for falling into Bane's trap, for nearly using the darkside.

"Now I will combine this holocron with the memory crystal I acquired from your dead Jedi friend. My employers will be most pleased." She hated Bane, everything about him, his voice, his outfit, his stupid face he probably thinks he's so much better then them.

Like magic she saw Skyguy grab his and Ahsoka's sabers apperantly Bane wasn't a fan, she was still holding Ahsoka's hand as she reached with her right hand to the wall to hold on to, Skyguy slammed a droid into the controls which made the door open trying to suck them out into outerspace, luckily Dee thought of this, she imagined the button clicking shut she felt the Force hum around her in a melody and the door shut, the trio dropped to the ground, Anakin cut Ahsoka's cuffs with her saber off and handed Dee her blade, which she happily clipped onto her belt she also wiped the blood from her lip with her hand, Anakin looked at her concerned, why would he be concerned ?

As they began running, Anakin called Rex

"REX I HOPE YOU FOUND US A WAY OFF THIS BUCKET !" Anakin yelled 

"We've got to leave now. The reactor's gonna blow. We cannot wait!" Rex answered

"You'll have to. I'm going after that bounty hunter." Anakin told him, there were two replies to this

"MASTER YOU CAN'T" was Ahsoka's

"THEN I'LL GO WITH YOU" was Dee's as she kept running with him past the way to the hanger

"This is the way to the hangar! We must get off the ship now!" Ahsoka yelled at them 

"I can't let Bane get away" Anakin told him Dee only nodded 

"PATIENCE Master.. and Dee" Ahsoka yelled again

"Wait yes ! Skyguy, Bane's probably in the hanger himself !" Dee told him running over to Ahsoka

"You're both right" He said joining them and they all jumped aboard a ship

"Did you get the Holocron trooper ?" Anakin asked a trooper

"No, sir " his voice sounded, weird, tangled even, she was going to keep an eye on him

"We'll get it Master" Ahsoka told him taking Dee's hand in which she prepared to jump

"No time, Rex get us out of here" 

Behind them the whole ship exploaded, she guessed the Holocron did too.

"Well atleast the Seppies didn't get it" Dee told them.. seppies... her little stunt with Bane... she can't think about it now she'll tell someone later.

"Bane's dead but, I can still feel him" Anakin told the two padawans, Dee felt her eyes shift to the trooper, why was she so untrusting of him ? this was one of her men she had to stop doubting them.

"Skyguy I'm really sorry I let the bounty hunter win." She told Anakin "If I hadn't gotten so ahead of myself maybe we would still have the Holocron" She added dully 'and if I could have controlled myself- no don't think about it now' she thought to herself

"Master I'm also really sorry for not waiting for you, I just, I just ran after Dee because I felt hurt in the Force so I decided it was better to go save her" Ahsoka told him

"It wasn't your fault, Ahsoka or Dee. It was mine, start to finish." Anakin comforted the both of them

"So did you manage to recover the holocron or capture the bounty hunter?" the Admiral asked 

"Um, no and no." Anakin replied 

"I see so the mission was your usual version of success, then?"

"If by success you mean, "I won," then yes." Dee couldn't help but smile 

Chapter Text

Dee was starting to get what Anakin said about Bane's presense still existing. Behind her she heard a few troops engage in conversation.

"How many made it off this time" , "Just us, hey Denal, good job frying that bounty hunter" ," Yeah let's get some grub ya hungry ?" ," I'll catch up" She was brought back from that conversation by Ahsoka asking a question

"So what now ?" She asked

"we get the injured to the Medical bay" Anakin answered

"General I think theres something you should see" a clone called Anakin over

"Hey trooper you alright" Ahsoka asked him "Must've been hit in the head" she muttered Dee didn't like the way he ignored her

"HEY. DID. YOU. HEAR. HER. SHE. ASKED. IF. YOU. WERE. AL-RIGHT" She yelled separating the words, even if he did get whacked in the head he had to somehow understand that, still no reply

"Really must've had a hard head hitting" She told Ahsoka as they ran after him

"Wait you're injured !" Ahsoka continued

"It must be a head injury let's take your helmet off" Dee told him, she had to see whose face it was 

Ahsoka in the meanwhile grabbed his arm "You're no clone!"

"AHSOKA DEE " Anakin yelled, luckily this guy couldn't hit both of them in the stomach, Dee jumped back and shouldered him causing him to fall with her ,this was Bane, the same man who captured her, the same man who tried to suck her into space, the same man who nearly lulled her to the dark side, he stood up and began running, Anakin chased after him, Dee started too, she saw him getting into a fighter

In a desperate act she grabbed it with the Force, she got dragged on her knees but the ship was slowing down, 

"Admiral lockdown the hyperspace rings! HURRY!" Anakin told into his comms, Dee was leaning back with her knee's crouched, she couldn't hold onto this she already felt herself slipping, 'imagine what master Kenobi says when he finds out what you did to Bane' a voice in her mind told her "not stop" she thought 'Ahsoka and Anakin would think you're a monster' "stop please" she thought again "but then, you are one" with a yelp mixed with a cry she let go and the fighter sped off 

"IT'S BANE, LOCK THOSE RINGS" She heard Anakin say, Dee was hunched over on the ground, she felt really tired, first the cuffs now this she started breathing heavily, feeling tears sting her eyes she only saw the ship zoom off before she blacked out and everyone swarmed her.

When she opened her eyes she saw a bright white light and Anakin beside her.

"Ugh where am I ? what happened ?" She asked sitting up

"Ah you're awake Tiny "Anakin told her

"How long was I out ?" She asked, not looking him in the eyes, he'll think she's a monster, hell she probably is.

"Just a little over an hour, it wasn't your fault Bane got away" He added trying to make eye contact, she looked away again 

"What even happened" she asked

"Force Exhaustion also why won't you look me in the eyes" he asked oh shit

"Force Exhaustion also why won't you look me in the eyes" the last part he wasn't meant to ask first time he got Force Exhaustions he couldn't see maybe this was the same case.

It wasn't the same case, after a few moments Dee sat up fully and curled into a ball and started crying he felt guilt roll off her into the Force. 

"What's wrong ?" Oh kriff "I didn't mean to make you cry" he was trying to fix this he probably wasn't the beat at comforting people. 

"I kriffed up" she said between wheezes "I fell for it I fell for it" she said before she laid her head on her knees again 

"Fell for what ?" Anakin asked, feeling pain for the poor girl, Dee cried for a few more moments before she answered 

"I did- I did this- thing where- I-I-I controlled his arm and I wanted it to b-bend back and" she ran out of breath and cried a bit "and break it but I realised what I was doing so I stopped why am I telling you this you'll think I'm a monster" Oh...

"I'm a monster" why did she say that ? now he'll think she's weird too what if she's kicked off the Jedi order ? "I-I'm so so sorry I d-didn't mean to I just saw Ahsoka lay-ying there so I di-d that" she said between gasps she was expecting Anakin to look at her and be mad, yell at her something like that, anything like that.

What she wasn't expecting was for him to sit up from his chair onto her bed and hug her, it felt nice to be hugged, a bit awkward but it felt comforting and made her crying slowly calm down.

"It's alright Dee, nobody is mad at you, you were stuck and didn't know what to do" at this point she realised she was wearing her normal clothes instead of her EVA suit thank you to whoever changed it. She leaned her head on his shoulder still hugging him just less tightly and began to feel herself grow tired, why is she always tired ?

"When do we arrive on Coruscant" she asked

"About 3 or 4 hours we were pretty far out" He replied thats more then enough to get a nap and Dee surely knows how to nap.

When she woke up she realised Anakin too had eventually fell asleep.

"Psh Skyguy wake up" She told him

"Huh oh you're awake" He replied

"So are you apperantly" 

"Very funny" 

"Skyguy's acting like he wasn't asleep too" Ahsoka said stepping beside Dee who crawled out of bed and hugged her friend. 

"I'm glad you're alright it was scary when you dropped you looked dead" Ahsoka whispered to her

"Well I'm fine, was probably tired wait when are we arriving at Coruscant ?" She asked dread filling her

"20ish minutes probably, Dee why are you so pale ?" Dee couldn't reply she had to admit her failure to Obi wan and maybe having to tell the council what she did, she felt Anakin shaking her by the shoulders.

"What am I going to tell the council ?" She asked feeling more cold by the second

"We'll just say you got scared and felt pain from the cuffs and electrecution and the reason you passed out was Force Exhaustion from trying to pull the ship back, which is true" Anakin told her, she felt a huge amount of comfort from that.

"That it true I guess, I was mostly mad from the pain and I was scared for Ahsoka" She replied

"See, it's all fine" Ahsoka smiled at her, she smiled back.

When arriving down she raced up to Obi wan and hugged him, kriff Master Windu and his 'Jedi must not form attachments'

"I hear you caused a panic on the ship" Obi wan said awkwardly patting her as she let go 

"Ah ya know, just the usual Force Exhaustion from trying to play the hero," She told him  "there is another reason for why I tried to play it, it's for the council" She replied darkly "Bane escaped with the Holocron" She finished 

"It is most unfortunate that Bane was allowed to escape" Obi wan started "But we must remember it isn't anybodys fault for it, he managed to outfool us all" He added quickly before Master Windu got his say, she was glad Obi wan stook up for them 

"With access to the Jedi list of most Force sensitive children in the Galaxy" Master Windu said

"inflicts devastating damage on the Jedi Order he could" Yoda started

"We've discovered Bane's working with the Separatists " Anakin told them

"There are thousands which will he go after first ?" Obi wan asked 

"If I may Masters " Dee spoke up and all eyes snapped to her "Wouldn't it make sense to send Jedi to the locations with the most Force Sensitive children and guard them until Bane comes ?" Dee offered 

"Agree with young Sorin, I do, Small chance there is the Council may detect them when stolen, follow her idea atleast slightly, we must"  Dee felt herself beam with pride at Master Yoda's words 

"They already made up their minds what are they doingggg " Dee groaned from where she laid on the ground 

"Dee you passed out from Force Exhaustion less then 7 hours ago and you're already ready to go ?" Ahsoka teased her

"Oi is it true you passed out and let Bane escape, I wouldn't let that happen" ugh here he goes a little prick who used to bully Dee and get on her every last nerve.

"Yes I did, but My Master is taking me unlike you to try save those children" She told him crossing her arms "Now get lost" she snarled and he walked away, they both deathglared eachother till he passed a corner

"What was that ?" Ahsoka asked

"He used to bully me, now he's just pissy that I got chosen to be a padawan and not him" She replied proudly Ahsoka giggled, Dee liked making Ahsoka smile or laugh, it made her feel better that atleast someone enjoyed her presence. 

As Obi wan and Anakin exitted the room their faces were set

"Dee you're coming with me to Rodia, Ahsoka you're going with Anakin to Naboo" He told them 

"Alright then, see you later Ahsoka and Skyguy" She said walking away

"Dee are you alright ?" Obi wan asked her suddenly

"Of course I am Master ? why are you asking" She replied

"Earlier I felt a lot of pain, anger and fear through the Force" He asked her she thought for a moment then it sparked back to her

"OHH yeah I'm fine I was in these like Force restricting handcuffs so I was really scared and Ahsoka was beside me and she looked hurt so that scared me some more and then Bane eletercuted me so I passed out but I did this this where before he electrecuted me I somehow managed to pin his arms back so it pressed a button with I suspect opened my handcuffs am I talking too fast ?" She replied quickly

"... No but Dee remember those emotions-" 

"I know I know 'lead to the darkside' I cried to Anakin about it and forgot about it really" she said "Now we have a child to save" she added smiling at her Master, he smiled back.

As the ship exited hyperspace Dee felt something really weird through the Force like something like she couldn't place her finger on it.

She clicked her comm "Master do you feel this weird feeling I can't explain it but-"

"Yes Dee, I do we need to go check on that child quick" he said Dee agreed  "Let's hope we arrived in time" He added through the comm as he and Dee deactivated their hyperspace rings and began to fly down Dee thought it was still crazy cool that she was allowed to travel by ship normally she guessed she'd need to be around 18 but her 14th birthday was right around the corner, she was getting distracted they were already approaching landing which was really smooth, she guessed her R4 unit took care of it, she jumped out with master Kenobi and they began sprinting soon they arrived at the door her master must've seen and he clicked a button.

"If you're looking for my son, Jedi, he's not here" KRIFF

"Where is he ?" Obi wan asked "Open the door," He repeated using the Force

"You'll never get him" She said pointing a gun, Cad Bane's gun

"Where is the bounty hunter " She asked lacing her voice with the Force she found it made her sound rather sweetly, like she was smiling and talking at the same time, like how she imagined Piper Mclean from Percy Jackson using charmspeak, she had a different time to think about this.

"Bounty hunter ? He was a Jedi" She seemed to be knocked out of her stance

"Jedi do not carry blasters" She heard Obi wan behind her, she was looking around the area until she saw her good pal Bane escaping

"THERE" She said pointing and running off, Obi wan joined her they both jumped and used a grappling hook to reach an area then jump with the Force, not this time you skank Dee thought, she reached a hand into the Force and yoinked the child with it, she saw it hurtle in the air before she caught it.

"You failed Bane" She said holding the child, he infact did not fail because he sped off, oh great, sleemo got away again.

"Well done Dee" Obi wan said beaming at her

"Wait what ? I let Bane get away ?" She asked him confustion on her fact 

"But you saved one of the children on his list" He told her

"Yeah but what do we do with him now ?" She asked looking down the child- no toddler

"We'll take him to the Temple, it's no longer safe for him here" 

"Or do we have to master ? the child is safe, we just have to move him to another location, his time to be a youngling will come, let him still be someones baby" She told her master, he looked at her and slowly nodded his head, he looked sad, not at the child but at her, why would he be sad ?

Back on the shuttle it was interogation time for Bane, looks like Ahsoka and Anakin caught him, Dee really wished it was her who caught the criminal but her time would come.

"We know you've taken atleast one child to an unknown location, where is it?" Obi wan asked Bane, Dee felt proud that it was one, not that it was good but she saved one child from began stolen.

"Beyond your reach"

"Who are you working for ?" Mace Windu asked 

"I work alone" oh so he's trying to aurafarm 

"Oh yea sure" Dee began "Dee no" Obi wan told her, she flashed him a sweet false smile "Then how did you have atleast 500 Seppy droids to your disposal, how did you have a Separatist ship as your own ?" Dee asked him she was about to continue but she remembered Mace Windu was here and she did not want him to remember why she's supposed to be on guard duty.

"It is only a matter of time before we locate the Holocron, make it easier on yourself" Obi wan said instead 

"What are you going to do Jedi ? Torture me ?" 

"I think, the fear for whoever you work for outweighs your fear of us " Mace Windu told Bane

"This conversation is over" So it was, Mace Windu had found a weak spot

They exited the room as Ahsoka and Anakin approached 

"We tore the ship apart. There's no sign of the Holocron or the kids" Anakin reported 

"Did you check the ships navigation records ?" Mace Windu asked 

"They were wiped clean when he landed on Naboo " Ahsoka replied wait he wiped his navigators she thought of what her dad once told her 'Dee, if you ever want to find out where someone has been, check their fuel records they probably forgot to clear em' ofcourse

"Did you check the fuel records ?" Dee asked

"What ?" Anakin asked

"It's an old trick my dad once told me about 'if you ever want to find out where someone's been, check their fuel records they probably forgot to clear them' " Dee recited 

"We didn't do that... Dee come with us to try again" Ahsoka told her as she walked off with Ahsoka and Anakin.

"So Tiny how did you know that trick ?" Anakin asked her

"I said it like 15 seconds ago, my dad once told me it "she replied, Ahsoka smirked, Anakin smiled.

As they entered the ship, Anakin turned on the fuel records that were on an orange screen.

"Ah seems your dad was right Tiny, people do usually forget to clear the fuel records" He said smirking at her

Dee looked at the planets that lined up with the distance and time, Glee Anselm, Rodia, Mustafar, Naboo wait Mustafar ?

"Wait Mustafar ? I don't think there was a child there ?" Dee told Anakin and Ahsoka pointing towards the planet

"You're right there wasn't, but it's a mining world maybe he went there to refuel " Anakin told her

"Yeah but why'd he do that if he could've went straight from Rodia" She pointed to Rodia to another planet "To your man Malastare, it's shorter and not six systems out of his way" She finished pointing to the small planet she knew as Malastare 

"You know what Tiny, I think you're right" Anakin finally said

Dee clicked her comm "Master we've found where the children are hidden."

"We do not have to tell the Chancellor this, it is an internal Jedi afair " Mace Windu told them

"I hate to disagree Master but aslong as the Jedi work as a military we have to" Anakin disagreed

"Look, I get it, we have to tell the Chancellor about what goes on with the Republic Military, but can't we ask literally anybody else on Coruscant right now to do it, we have children to save" Dee argued "Ask Master Yoda to do it" She added as an offer

Mace Windu thought for a moment "Very well then Padawan Sorin, we will ask Master Yoda to speak to the Chancellor about this" Dee smiled at him

"Dee, you, Ahsoka and Anakin will head off straight away, we'll inform the grandmaster of what he has to do, me and Master Windu have a Holocron to retrieve" Obi wan told her, she nodded.

And they entered their ship preparing for the long 6 hour flight, if they're lucky.

After what felt like torture she finally heard the words she dreamt of coming from Ahsoka's mouth

"Coming out of Hyperspace now" Dee started smiling so hard her cheeks hurt

"Artoo begin the landing cycle" Anakin told him , Dee noticed that Anakin was avoiding her, she had to ask him about that later, she found it annoying did he really not want to chat with her after she sobbed her guts out to him ? She felt a heat of warmth come through the planet onto the ship.

"Holy it's warm on there, I feel bad for those who have to work a 9-5 mining job" Dee said her thoughts outloud to which Ahsoka started full on laughing at and she started laughing too.

As they exited it felt even more hot, what the flip, she was praying to the Force that she wouldn't have to duel anybody here at anytime.

"You guys sure this is the right place ?" Ahsoka asked

"I dunno, personally I never fancied planets like these, never would recomend them really" Dee told Ahsoka

"We're gonna find out" Anakin told the two girls 

"I sense something master" Ahsoka told Anakin as the door opened "And I don't like it" Ahsoka added

"It's the darkside Ahsoka, this is the right place" Anakin told her, Dee felt herself grow weaker but that can't be possible she's only been on the planet for less then what 12 minutes ?

They began running through the chamber of darkness and heard a child cry

"Wait, did you hear that ?" Dee asked in which Ahsoka nodded 

"Yeah I heard it, question is where are they ?" Anakin told them as there were 4 tunnels present, Ahsoka stopped for a moment before she pointed towards the second one on Dee's right "This way" She added running off, in which Dee followed 

They approached the door in which all three slammed their ignited sabers into the door and turned theme counter clockwise which made a hole big enough for all 3 to jump through, Ahsoka and Anakin turned their sabers off, Dee kept hers on for light and ran up to a cot... nothing no child, Ahsoka did so too, also no child

"We're too late" Ahsoka told them, Dee felt fear of a young child through the Force the same she felt through Rodia

"They're still here I can sense them" Anakin told them, Dee saw two flashing eyes of what a robot may have, "THERE" she pointed before she ran off and got swiped at by the droid, she swiped at it too, there were three droids, only one had a child, they didn't know which.

"Be careful there might be a youngling " Anakin told them

"Figured that one out !" Dee replied while she swiped the droids head off.

"I know I know" Ahsoka replied, out of the corner of her eye she saw that Ahsoka's droid had the stolen youngling and went to join her, she noticed the floor beginning to open, she also felt herself grow even more tired she felt as if her life force was being drained.

"What the kriff" She muttered to herself before she stabbed the droid in the center

"Ahsoka grab the youngling !" She told her friend who picked up the child and they both jumped up to where Anakin got his droid ended.

"The control pannels fried !" Ahsoka exclaimed

"Where's Artoo ?" Anakin asked as the door opened, Artooie must've heard what he said, they all began sprinting the whole building was going to collapse luckily they got to the ship in time, Ahsoka sat with the youngling as Dee and Anakin began working quickly to start up the ship the screen went black

"WHY DID IT GO BLACK ?" Dee yelled 

"I must be overheating there we go" Anakin replied as he managed to make the starship start up and they flew towards Coruscant.

"The base was completely destroyed, Masters, so was any clue of whose behind this" 

"Hmm. Most unfortunate, this is " Yoda told them

"We still have Bane "

She saw Obi wan look at Mace Windu she groaned

"He got away again?" Ahsoka asked 

"The important thing is that the children are safe and we have recovered the Holocron" Obi wan told her

"The list is intact and there is no evidence it was copied " Master Windu added

"Still, the future of all Jedi, uncertain it is. Move forward cautiously we must" At the grandmasters words the trio bowed and moved out of the chamber.

Dee was thinking about what happened on Mustafar about how she felt as if her life force was being drained, why did it feel that way to her ? did Ahsoka or Anakin feel it to ?

"Oo Master I see some of my friends could I go talk to them ?" Ahsoka asked

"Ofcourse Snips " Anakin told her

"Dee, do you want to come with me ?" Ahsoka asked 

"No thanks I want to go back to the quarters " Dee replied lying a good bit, she stunk and needed a shower

As Ahsoka walked away and she and Anakin entered the quarters Anakin cornered her 

"Why didn't you want to talk with the Chancellor ?" Anakin asked her, he looked a bit mad was he mad at her ?

"What ?" Dee asked, ignoring the hurt she felt with the idea of him being mad at her

"You heard me, why didn't you want to talk with the Chancellor ?" Anakin asked again crossing his arms

"Because I wanted to save the children, I'm sure the Chancellor understood Master Skywalker, he isn't stupid he must've known that we had lives to save " Dee replied " Why are you asking me this ? Are you mad at me ?" She added Anakin looked a bit like he was slapped back to Coruscant.

"That makes sense- no I'm not mad at you why would you think that ?" He asked oh the nerve

"You cornered me and asked me sounding very mad at me" Dee replied 

"Sorry.." he answered stiffly, they stayed in an uncomfortable silent for a bit before, Dee hoped he didn't think she was like, mad at him or anything, she didn't hold any grudges against most people. Dee asked what was troubling her mind

"Master Skywalker, when I was Mustafar, I felt really weird, like if my life force was being drained out, what would that mean ?" she asked

"Honestly Tiny, I don't know, maybe it had something to do with you passing out earlier with Force Exhaustion ?" Anakin offered it wasn't very helpful she quickly hugged him incase he thought she was upset or whatever and told him what she was planning on doing.

 "I'm going to shower then go to bed goodnight !" She said walking off

Chapter Text

Dee was impressed by Skyguys ability to fool Grevious.

"Commander, whats the damage to the enemy ship ?" Obi wan asked the clone commander

"She's lost her primary shields and stabilizers, but the ship is so massive, it can take all the fire our cannons can give it" 

"We must summon reinforcements" Master Plo told them 

"That's why I'm here master Plo" Anakin said walking in, Dee ran up to hug Ahsoka, she wondered if she should hug Anakin as well or would that just be awkward

"Anakin. Were you able to contact Master Luminara?" Obi wan asked the Jedi knight

"Yes, Master. She's busy with a fleet of Separatist reinforcements nearby. She won't be able to give us support until she's turned them away." Anakin told them, kriff, this wasn't good

"So we'll have to make do with what we have!" she replied trying to give more positive energy into the room, Obi wan nodded at her

"Admiral, status report. " Obi wan asked 

"They're not attempting to jump to hyperspace, their hyperdrive must be damaged." Admiral Yularen told them, thats really really good

"This is the chance we've been waiting for !" Dee exclaimed Obi wan noded at her

"All ships target the bridge. Maximum firepower!"

Dee smiled as she watched the ship sustain high damage, maybe once Grevious is caught, Dooku and Ventre  will be easier to deal with since their tinny sidekick got decimated. 

"Master, l'm picking up a signal near the enemy vessel." Ahsoka exclaimed what the krifff is going to get pulled off now ? she looked over at the panel and saw something flew out of hyperspace 

"Something just came out of hyperspace." Ahsoka added 

"Enemy reinforcements?" Anakin asked, she hoped not but it looked like a Naboo ship, hey it looked like Senator Padme Amidala's ship!

"Hey isn't that like Senator Amidala's ship ?" Dee asked, the more she looked at it the more she believed it

"Gunners! Stand down! What in blazes are they doing out here?" Obi wan asked, Dee felt a lot of fear radiate off Anakin like a canon she wanted to ask him what was wrong but she guessed he wouldn't say 

"Ahsoka, Dee, one of you contact that ship!" Anakin commanded them

"Naboo cruiser! Identify yourself!" Ahsoka spoke clearly 

"This is Senator Amidala." the voice said, so she was right

"Padme what are you doing here ?!" Anakin asked 

"l was sent on a special mission." Senator Amidala began Dee chose to ignore how Anakin chose to call her Padme instead of Senator Amidala

"The Senate was told the Banking Clan wanted to negotiate a treaty. " She continued

 "Senator get out of there as fast as you can!" Dee spoke into the comm

"Padme, what's happening?" As they all saw the ship slowly and menacingly get pulled into the droid cruiser 

"l'm being pulled inside the droid cruiser by a tractor beam. I will not be made a Separatist bargaining chip. Continue your attack! You must destroy this monstrous ship!" Dee heard her say, Dee felt herself admire the Senator, it was so cool of her to say that.

"Admiral, order our ships to stop firing " Anakin told him, fear bouncing off him

"Skyguy what are you doing ?" Dee asked looking at him, worried

"We need to rescue the Senator " Anakin said walking away

"Where do you think you're going ?" Obi wan said following him

"Somebody has to save her skin " Anakin replied 

"I thought you might say that, continue the attack once we leave the cruiser " Obi wan told her, she nodde

"There he goes again craving adventure and excitement." Master Plo said 

"You get used to it." Ahsoka told the Jedi master  

Dee waited a moment before asking Master Plo a question

"Master Plo Koon, is it true you once had an orange lightsaber ?" 

"Indeed it is, is it true you have a white blade ?" He asked her, she nodded before igniting it a white blade shining out humming it's same song

"Interesting, do you know why it's white ?" He asked her again

"No, not really, I like it though, it makes me feel unique" she told him smiling, she couldn't tell if he smiled back.

"Another bold strategy by Skywalker, l presume?" Master Luminara asked, 'yeah that's Skyguy for you,' Dee thought in her head always rushing.

"That's my master." Ahsoka told her proudly yet she sounded a bit tired.

"Once they make it off that ship, we'll need reinforcements to finish off the enemy." Master Plo Koon told her 

"l am on my way, Master Plo." She told them before disconnecting 

"We're receiving a transmission from inside the Malevolence. l believe it's the Senator. " Admiral told them

"Put it through then Admiral " Dee told him

Ahsoka called Anakin on her comm "Yes ?" She heard Anakin ask

"Master, we've found the Senator. l'm patching her through. "

"Padme!"

" Anakin!" Wait a minute why didn't she say 'general skywalker' or why didn't Anakin say 'senator Amidala " Something is going on between them she just can't prove it yet.

"Are you all right? Where are you? " Anakin asked very worried

"On the lower levels, l'm fine, but l don't know for how long, droids are everywhere."

"Obi-Wan and l are onboard, too."

"What? What are you doing here ?" She asked 'probably wanting to play the heroes' Dee said as she watched the Separatist slowly lower itself in space, they really had to hurry

"We came to get you off this ship. Ahsoka, how can we get to the Senator? "

"According to our scans, there seems to be a large open area in the center of the ship it should be halfway between the two of you." Ahsoka told them

"We're on our way did you hear that, Padme?" again with the 'Padme' everytime she doubted her suspicions they got proved right

"l'll be there." and the line went cold and so did Dee's blood 

"I wonder what they're going to do now " Dee said, trying to not sound scared

"Probably going to save the Senator young one " Dee felt herself get a bit embarassed about that 

"Well they better hurry up, that ship seems to be going down quick" Dee said ignoring her past question, she didn't want them to- she didn't even want to think about it

"Yes, they better do" he replied

"It's Skyguy and Master Smarty, they'll figure out a way" Ahsoka told her, Dee smiled at her friend for using her nickname for her master.

After making sure the ships were in the attack position, Ahsoka and Dee walked up towards the command center, she hated the command center, it was actually so so so boring it made her want to sit down in the archives and read.

"Our ships are in attack position, any word from Master Skywalker ?" Ahsoka asked 

"No, the droids are jamming our transmissions" Master Plo told them

"I'm sure we can give them a few more minutes" Dee offered, 

"I'm not sure we can young one" 

She saw a ship leaving the Malevolence, the Republic ship !

"LOOK IT'S THEM !" She pointed "THIS IS COMMANDER DEE SORIN, BEGIN THE ATTACK" Dee yelled into her comm and so the battle began.

The big guns began firing hard as the Republic ship approached 

"OPEN THE DOCKING LANES" Dee commanded, she saw that her master, Anakin and whoever else, probably the senator was aboard the ship began to fire, the Malevolence began heading towards the moon, what the kriff was going on ?

A flash so bright it burned her eyes happened, she had to squint to try see, it was a pink that burned bright, it was a pretty colour and an even prettier meaning, the Malevolence was destroyed, Grevious maybe not because she could still feel him in the Force, but the Separatists have earned a great loss from this day, while the Republic gained a great gain.

Dee's droid ^^

https://pin.it/bsMnhlGo0

Her starfighter ^^ 

Dee was allowed to help Anakin Skywalker at Bothawui by her own Master Obi wan's command. She found it fun to be beside Ahsoka and Skyguy, she mostly wanted to be here to protect Ahsoka, she didn't know why she wanted to protect Ahsoka but she just had this feeling she should. It was stupid she knew but she felt this instinct of wanting to protect her, she was younger then Ahsoka yet she always wanted to be the one hurt instead of her, she felt that way to everyone.

"Among our recent losses was the battle group at Falleen, the Separatist fleet commanded by General Grievous is headed your way" Her master spoke to them, she was really glad that he wasn't alone, see the only reason she was really allowed on this mission was that her master and master Plo were chosen to unite battalions so she had to go help Anakin and Ahsoka.

"Seems like that cowards knows where and when to attack us." Anakin told him, Dee always looked up to Anakin, he was just so cool, he was so good with the Force and so quick thinking, ofcourse she would never admit this, his ego was too inflated anyways.

"You're outnumbered Anakin, I'd advise retreat" but that would mean the Separatist's would take command of the sector

"If we run then the Seppies take control of the sector !" Dee exclaimed "We can't let them do that !" Ahsoka added, Obi wan looked at the two girls

"And then that would be Anakin's problem " Obi wan told them, Anakin just looked at the two padawans

"Master Kenobi is right, we need to regroup we don't really stand a chance " He tried to explain "Dee, Ahsoka suicide is not the Jedi way" he added

"But skyguy then the seppies will win !" Dee exclaimed 

"I can't speak for Ahsoka but I can speak for Dee and say that she should listen to Anakin" Anakin smirked at her, what a stupid ego, take back what she said about him being cool.

"Despite what was said, I think I know how to beat Grievous at his own game" Anakin pulled up a hologram of a machine, Dee didn't really know the name of and troops marching, what was he trying to play at.

As Anakin flew off, Dee had a really bad feeling, like he shouldn't be going on this, that something was going to happen to him. Instead she resulted to talking with Ahsoka.

"Master Kenobi said that I might be able to lead a squadron of fighters in the 212" she started "He says it's because it's to teach me responsibility but we all know it's because he hates flying " She added giggling

"Skyguy says that Obi wan will do everything he can to avoid teaching you to fly himself, I guess skyguy must've left a scar on him" Ahsoka replied giggling. Dee looked at the screens

"I don't think this is a good idea," Dee began "Flying into a field of asteroids, this is suicide ! He's going to get himself and his men killed " she added, Ahsoka nodded

"This is skyguy for you speeds, he's a dummy, it normally works though" Ahsoka replied tiredly, she felt a bit of fear in her friends voice 

"Resolute command to Gold leader. We are standing by." Ahsoka began

"Enemy closing zone six" Dee added

"Patience, Ahsoka, Dee" Anakin told them, thick of him to say, she heard the clones behind her start counting down. zone 4. zone 3 

"They're right ontop of us should we command firing ?" A clone asked them, Dee held her hand out

"Wait. wait." Ahsoka told him she felt a blast shake the ship, Dee was about to fly backwards, she stedied herself with the Force, they were definitely outgunned

"We're outgunned, we're not going to last a minute out here," She told Anakin

"Hang on Snips and Tiny, we got em where we want em" Anakin told them, great she felt just so so so much comfort from that, Dee saw a Venator go down, then a gold fighter, this wasn't going to be a nice fight.

After what felt like hours but probably was 2 minutes she heard it "Ahsoka, Dee, they're in position unveil our little surprise" Ah goodie, took em long enough

"With pleasure, Rex old boy, I think it's time you joined the party" Ahsoka told the captain

"With pleasire, Sir" She heard rex tell them and so the blasting began, when she first joined her master at the battle of Christophosis she felt like crying when she heard blasts, now, it barely even phased her at high speed she spotted a fighter leaving Separatist ship

"Skyguy, I just saw a fighter leave the Separatist ship, could it be Grievous ?" She asked 

"It is" He replied and she saw his ship fly off, she felt every alarm in her head go off, Anakin shouldn't follow Grievous, but he should but he shouldn't she didn't know but everything was telling her this was a bad decision by Skyguy

"All bateries target that command bucket" Ahsoka commanded, the Seppy ship began exploading in reds,oranges and yellows it would be pretty, if Dee's mind wasn't elsewhere, her head snapped towards Anakin's fighter, he was going so far ahead she had to strain her eyes to see it wait is that a fire ? the fighter began twisting and turning. KRIFF, Ahsoka fainted, all the men looked at Dee for commands, she blanked out for a moment before saying her commands.

"Go to the docking bay, I'll be down there in 10 at most " everyone nodded, she looked at Ahsoka "And get her to medbay" she added.

Dee now raced down towards her quarters and spotted R4 who beeped when he saw her, she understood the beeps as 'where going now ?'

"C'mon R4 we need to go get Anakin's butt to safety" She told him pulling her EVA suit over her clothes, except her skirt which she took off because it wouldn't fit under, she grabbed the bubble for her head. The droid beeped at her again

"I'm fine we just need to get a few men to get him back" she replied running out "You comming or ?" and he rolled ? what would be the wording ? whatever he came after her and they ran down towards the ships 

"Commander what are we doing ?" one of the men asked 

"I need a flyer and three or four men to help me locate Anakin the rest of you need to either go look for your brother or be preparing for when we land with them" She told them

"I'll go" Said a clone with a handprint across his chest

"I'll go" Said another with an eel on his helmet

"I'll go" Said yet another who didn't have any markings

"I'll be the flyer" Said another clone who she also didn't know

"Perfect, let's go load up, everyone else, you know the commands" to which they all nodded "Let's go R4" she told the droid and she followed the men into the gunship.

Her legs were shaking an awful lot in the gunship, she also felt judged by the clones in the ship, she looked at her grid map Anakin's fighter started crashing in around sector 2465 they were currently in sector 2464 but with how much things float in space, there's a fair chance he might've floated a bit towards them.

"Alright stop here" She told the clone pilot who stopped, She clipped a line onto her harness that was on her legs "Everyone clip a line onto your armor, it's so you don't drift away" She told the rescue squad, she felt them look at her as if she was stupid, she probably looked stupid, she felt stupid.

"okay... if you find Anakin, comm me and the other men, we meet back in the ship at 1700 unless you think you've found Skyguy" she added before putting the bubble on her and pressing a button, she felt the oxygen generating, and so she opened the door, it was time to search for Anakin Skywalker.

Dee wanted to cry, she felt misrable, she couldn't find Anakin for the life of her and it was 1657 which meant she had to start heading towards the ship, floating in space sucked, it was lonely and cold, she wished she took R4 with her, she missed her R4-P19 Unit which her master gave to her as a gift, she already made a few modifications to the unit, like instead of it being red, she painted the unit to have the same tealish colour as her shirt and skirt, she was getting distracted, she didn't find Anakin now she was floating up towards the gunship feeling failure.

"So commander, did you find the General ?" Asked the clone with an eel on his helmet who she learnt his name was fives, he seemed like a funny lad

Dee looked down at her boots "No fives" She said dully, she looked at all the other clones "Did any of you find anything remotely similar to an R2 unit or a persons body ?" She asked, they shooked their heads, Dee felt her heart break, Anakin Skywalker was gone, how was she going to tell Ahsoka, how was she going to tell Obi wan ? she heard a ping from her comm, she answered it

"Commander Sorin, we've found the General, should we return to the ship ?" She heard Rex ask 

"Yes Rex, return to the ship as fast as you can and go to medbay immediately don't wait for me if I'm not there" She told him 

"Yes, Sir" He replied before shutting off his comm

Dee felt a new surge of energy pass through her like a light at the end of a deep dark tunnel "

C'MON THEN, EVERYONE ONBOARD ?" She asked, they nodded, a bit surprised at her newfound energy but she felt their own energy through the Force and they seemed thrilled, she counted them 1,2,3 "ALRIGHT THEN, TAKE US TOWARDS OUR SHIP" She yelled to the captain who started off

After she managed to take her EVA suit off, she sprinted towards medbay, R4 at her heels, when she entered, Anakin was already awake, she grinned at him

"Skyguy" She said before throwing herself in a hug at him, he remained shocked for a moment before he hugged her back "Tiny, where have you been ?" He asked her

"Ah you know, trying to save your butt, but you should thank Rex here, he's the one who found you" she told him, letting go and going to hug Ahsoka, R4 beeped happily, Anakin looked at Dee's droid, Dee raised her eyebrow at him

"Did you not know that R4 is my-" she started but got cut off

"I know he's your droid but where's R2" oh kriff did they not find R2 ?

"I'm sorry master, he's gone" Ahsoka told him, 

A year ago, Dee would've called anyone who fell back onto their bed over a droid 'an over-dramatic weirdo' but now at this time she'd probably react the same way if she lost R4, he was like her little best friend who not only was a present from her master but her first ever droid.

"Don't worry Skyguy, we'll find him" She offered ... she didn't get a reply 

"Congratulations Anakin, your resourcefulness always amazes me" Obi wan told Anakin, Dee couldn't wait until her master told her that aswell, she just needed a bit more time 

"Thank you.. Master" Anakin replied dully

"You look troubled Anakin " 

"I lost R2 in the field" 

Obi wan looked at Dee, she gestured at Anakin and mouthed 'well then go tell him to look for him' Obi wan raised his eyebrow at her, Dee crossed her arms and tapped her foot impatiently 

"Well then Anakin, the council would hate if the found out you have an attachment to him so I'd hate if you went looking for him but I'm sure one of the places you have to stop by before reaching Coruscant could possibly have taken an R2 unit when they found him " Obi wan told him with sarcasm, Dee smiled at her master, Anakin looked shocked 

"You're letting me look for R2 ?" He asked 

"Oh no I'm just saying there must be a few stops nearby " Obi wan replied before smirking at Anakin and disconnecting, Anakin was positively gleaming when he disconnected

"C'mon then snips and tiny, we have a few stops to make, also Tiny, take R4 with you we'll probably need a droid" Anakin told them

"Let's go R4" she told her droid to beeped at her 

R4 flew up and Dee climbed up and spotted a gold droid beside Ahsoka

"Whose that ?" She asked, R4 beeped aswell looking offended

"This is R3-S6, Skyguys replacement droid" Ahsoka told her 

"But we can just use R4 ?" Dee asked 

"Maybe but what if we need a second droid" Ahsoka asked her, R4 looked up at Dee and Dee looked down at R4, she petted her unit's head "Well R4 is still coming" She decided walking over, R3 was at her right leg while R4 was by her left leg.

"Right Snips, Tiny, R4 you guys ready to go ?" Anakin asked 

"Master they've just delivered your replacement astromech droid. Dee do you want to introduce him ?" Ahsoka told Anakin and then looked at Dee while saying the last part, Dee looked at her, she looked mad disappointed before replying "Skyguy, this is R3-S6" 

"I've heard the R3s are far faster in thinking skills and more powerful then the old R2 units" Ahsoka told him, R4 beeped sadly Dee pat his head "Don't worry R4 you'll always be my favourite" she told him quietly, he beeped at her

"And best of all master, he's gold, a gold droid for a gold leader" Ahsoka added finally, Anakin looked positively fuming, Dee covered a bit of R4 with her leg, she didn't know why she just didn't want Anakin to round on her droid

"You can't replace R2" Anakin told her, holy he was sounding depressed, Dee heard the R3 beep something and Ahsoka tell him something, Dee ignored them 

"Let's go bluey" She told her droid, she finally thought of a nickname for him before following Anakin into the cargo ship 

"Theres my ship !" Anakin pointed to a gold yellow ship which was in wreck, this was sector 2470 definitely not 2464 

"It's definitely seen better days" Dee whispered to her R4 unit, Anakin's ship began to turn so they saw where the droid was supposed to go, but R2 wasn't there 

"R2 is gone, he must've escaped, he's gotta be around here somewhere" Anakin told them

"He isn't on the scanners, but there is a ship out them" Ahsoka told him

"It looks like your man the Trandoshan Scavanger, it's probably looking for salvagable things, hey maybe they have R2 on it ?" Dee asked the Master and Padawan 

"I think you're right, Snips, Tiny go put your poncho's on" Anakin told them Dee groaned

"Can I just wear a robe ?" Dee asked, the ponchos stunk of absolute dung.

"A poncho looks less suspicious now go put it on" Anakin told her she groaned 

As she, Anakin, Ahsoka and R3 went onboard they got hit with a disgusting smell, she thought the ponchos stunk, these stunk this place smelled worse. Dee had to keep R4 on the ship to control it and make sure whoever is commanding this ship doesn't try enter theirs

"Ugh! what's that smell ?" Ahsoka asked Dee nodded

"You'll get used to it " Anakin told them

"I highly doubt it" Dee said covering her nose as two use eyeball things appeared, Dee nearly yelped

"Hey, we'd like to buy a droid, you sellin' ?" Anakin asked, Oh brother this was not going to work as a fat thing crawled into the place they were at and let out a fart along the way, Anakin started coughing madly, so much for him saying that you get used to it 

"We're looking for an R2 unit, you happen to pick up an recently ?" Anakin asked 

"An 'R' series no, no, no, not for a long time " The trandoshian told them, Anakin rounded on Dee and Ahsoka 

"See pookums here" Anakins began walking over between the two girls and pointed at Ahsoka, Dee sniggered at 'pookums' "Likes her R3 unit but boo boo here" oh blaster to her head pull the trigger 'boo boo' what the kriff Skyguy ? "Really prefers having R2 units" he finished hugging the two of them "Pookums ? oh brother" Ahsoka whispered to Dee "It's better then boo boo" she whispered back, 

Dee took a deep breath trying not to laugh but instead nearly choked on the smell holy bad idea.

"Nice R3 unit, trade for a C-14" The trandosian offered

"Not on your life lizardo" Ahsoka began at him

"Let's see how much I have" Anakin began, Dee nearly bursted out laughing at the trandoshians face

"Tell you what, I may have an R2 unit burried somewhere in the hold" he said walking away and they followed to a door 

"Look for yourself but be careful, there are many.. um uniqure items down there" Oh great, there's probably 13 assasin droids ready to snipe Dee's head off her shoulders 

As they walked in and it was cold, dark, damp the air was stale and musty like how you'd expect it to be in a coffin, Dee asked her question

"On a scale of one to ten whats the chance I get sniped right now ?" 

"Hopefully a 1" Anakin replied 

"I hope it's a 10 boo boo" Ahsoka teased her, what a little

"Cheers pookums" 

Anakin looked at them, he looked really tired and yearning for his R2 unit

"Okay girls now actually let's go find R2" 

"Yes Master" 

"Yes Anakin" 

"Dee for prosperities sake you should probably call me Master or Master Skywalker" Anakin told her

"I could" Dee replied faking thoughtfulness "I'll think about it Anakin" she finally replied before walking off to look for R2, there were probably a good 20,000 pieces of droids in here 

"Master, Dee" Ahsoka said looking over at assasin droids "were these the unique items we should be warned about ?" Ahsoka asked

"I'll gamble and say yes" Dee replied 

"Yes, I'd say they were, assasin droids can be very unpredictable" Anakin told the two padawans

"They don't look all that tough now" Dee said, crossing her arms and looking down at them 

"Nothing probably looks tough to you, but take my word, the both of you, they're pretty deadly," Anakin told them "They're probably double or triple boo boo here's height" oh what a wee cheek, she rolled her eyes while Ahsoka giggled 

"R3 access the computer and find the inventory manifest, Artoo's gotta be around here somewhere" Anakin told the R3 unit, as R3 plugged in, Anakin looked up as if he heard a sound 

"Did you hear that ? it sounded like R2" 

"How can you tell the difference ?" Ahsoka asked while Anakin ran off "stay with R3 ash I'll run after skyguy" Dee told her before chasing the knight 

"It came from down here, R3 get this open" Anakin told the droid as it spun it's scomp the lights turned on

"R3 we don't need the lights on" Dee told the unit

"No goldie. the hatch" Ahsoka told R3-S6

"Nevermind me and Tiny will do it ourselves" do what ourselves ? Dee thought before he ignited his saber ohh. They stabbed their lightsaber into the door and began cutting it open. Dee felt an odd feeling and say the two droids sneaking up behind Ahsoka, she ditched skyguy and ran at the droids.

She swung her saber which created an arch of bright white light at the first devils head while it didn't swing off, it did swing the tinny backwards, now the second one was ganging up on her, how dare it ? how physically dare it try attack her ? Grabbing a fistfull of the Force she shoved it at the stupid tincan sending it flying 

"R3 SHUT THOSE DROIDS DOWN" Ahsoka yelled at the droid while Anakin went over to stand beside Dee

"I'm afraid R3 is a bit slow on the uptake." Anakin told Ahsoka, wait thats a bit mean Dee could never imagine herself telling that to R4, she didn't have time to gloss over Anakin being mean to a droid, the assassin droids were shooting blasts at them, why are they so hard to get rid of ? They got even harder to get rid of as one of them jumped up and so did the other, Dee and Ahsoka handled the first one. Ahsoka deflected the blasts at the stupid tin can

"Back at you piston head" She yelled at it before it swung a box at her.

Kriff this, Dee ran up to the assasin droid and shouldered it to the ground before slicing it through the middle

"Hey gramps you were right about them being deadly " She told him, before rushing over to Ahsoka and helping her up

"Great job that you're learning but you missed one" He told her before slicing the other one " As for you stubby you make a poor excuse for a lightswitch" He told R3-S6

"I'm sure he did his best" said Ahsoka, Dee just pat her friend on the back 

"His best to get us killed ?" Anakin asked "R2 or even R4 wouldn't make that mistake ! R3 can't even get the door open a little late stubby" 

As the door open Dee smelt Trandoshians essence as Anakin ignited his saber

"Wait Anakin the guy-" the door opened and the trandoshian appeared "-is here" she mumbled the last him

"If you didn't have a lightsaber then you would be a deadman" 

"Where is my droid ?" Anakin asked 

"Master what are you doing ? R2 isn't here"  Ahsoka told him, Dee walked up, not beside her but a bit behind her

"Let's get out of here" Anakin said extinguishing his saber. The trandoshian yapped about something behind them, Dee didn't listen 

"We have to assume R2 was destroyed in an explosion that claimed your ship, I'm sorry Anakin" Obi wan told him

"Yes master"

"Our intelligence has confirmed that Grievous spies has been intercepting our transmissions "

"He must have some sort of secret listening post out there somewhere " Ahsoka told Dee's master

"That would explain how he's able to ambush our fleets"

"Split up your squadrons Anakin, find that base and destroy it"

"It's as good as done them Master" Dee told her master, crossing her arms and feeling rather confident, he nodded at her

"May the Force be with you three" He said before disconnecting 

"Me and Tiny will sweep the outer corridor while the rest of you focus on the center" Anakin told them 

Anakin couldn't believe he was allowing Dee to come with him on this, it's only because Master Kenobi insisted it would be fine and maybe she'd save his neck 'or maybe he'd have to save hers' he had to admit, tiny did know mostly how to defend herself against droids but he never even seen her fly.

"Are you two sirs sure that you want to go alone" Rex asked them 

"It'll be fine Rexter, Skyguy said more fighters would attract too much attention" Dee replied, with nicknames ofcourse, he nodded at her words

"Master, Dee has R4 what about you ? you'll need a droid to navigate space won't you ?" Ahsoka asked him, he really wished stubby got lost in space instead of R2

"Well I think Stubby here is defective" he told her, his spite getting the better of him

"Come on Master, give him another chance, this could be the perfect chance for you two to bond" Ahsoka told him, he smiled at his padawan, a few rotations ago if you told him, Anakin Skywalker, that he would have a padawan he would've probably cried 

"Alright, Come on stubby" he told the droid "and tiny" he told Obi wan's padawan, he doubted she would've listened if he told her to stay anyways.

He got into his fighter while Dee got into her one, it was mainly silver, black and turquoise, and interesting colour choice get it matched with her droid so.

The two fighters floated out of the docking bay and flew towards the hyperspace rings, the rings connected to the ship and off into the hyperspace lanes they went.

Dee couldn't believe that her Master allowed her to fly on this with her own ship, 

"R3 have you vertified those coordinates on the search grid ?" She heard Anakin ask his droid, she already asked R4 the same questions a few minutes ago 

They popped out of hyperspace into a brand new system

"Alright Tiny, let's see what we can find" He told her 

"Alright skyguy" she said separating from him "Bluey, activate the long-range scanners" she told her droid and she saw Anakin's tracking beacon activate 

"Hey Master, what are you doing ?" She asked him cautiously, she guessed it was something do to with R3

"R3 just turned on our turned on our tracking beacon is there anything on the long range scanners ?" he asked her

"Nothing so far.. NO WAIT theres a ton of ships approaching" she told him as a ton a Seppy ships approached 

Oh kriff damn you R3 "Time to leave tiny" she heard Anakin tell her, 

"Agree with you on that one, after you" she told him 

"Bluey, get a hyperspace cource out of here and prepare the engines after skyguy" she told her R4 unit as she saw Anakin's fighter detach from the hyperspace ring what is he doing ? she didn't even bother asking, soon his hyperspace ring got destroyed, curse this mission.

"Detatch our hyperspace ring R4, somebody has to save Skywalkers butt" she told her R4 unit while turning her fighter around, detatching her own hyperspace ring  and chasing the droids on Skyguys tail.

She shot 3 of the missiles down, Anakin suddenly stopped and shot at them aswell causing them to explode 

"Nice trick Skyguy" she told him grinning

"Thank tiny, but we've got a bigger problem to deal with " he told her as they both spotted the droids flying towards them,

"Oh kriff" she muttered to herself "Let's go R4" she said before taking off and firing at them, she found spinning a good tactic, most would feel insane sickness from it but all Dee felt from it was joy and adrenaline.

She turned around and saw a Republic ship it was Ahsoka !

"Cargo ship doors are open, you better get inside " She heard her say, Dee began flying towards her hyperspace ring and attatched her ship to it, she was surprised it was in one piece well not for long as it exploaded, now she was aiming towards the ship.

She tilted her ship towards the left andddd itttt landed now she had to turn it so Skyguy wouldn't crash into her

"R4 help me out a bit " She told her unit who beeped in responce and began helping to 'park' the fighter and soon came the golden shooting star, once he landed which he barely did they took off right imbetween the tinnies soon she felt the sensation of flying in the hyperspace lanes.

Dee, Ahsoka, Anakin and R4 stood in the command center of the ship as R3 entered, Dee felt an surge of dissapointment from Anakin.

"Hey goldie, what did you think of your first mission" 

"I'll tell you what I think, I think I'm lucky to be alive, if it wasn't for tiny and snips here I'd be dead !" He told the droid, 

"Great now you hurt his feelings !" Ahsoka told her master 

"His feelings ? What about R2 ?" Anakin asked her before walking away "He's still out there I know it" 

Chapter Text

"We've searched their supply grids, sir. There's nothing to indicate the presence of an enemy outpost" Rex's blonde hair told them, Dee wondered if he was born with blonde hair or bleached it, if he bleached it she'd have to book an appointment with him to get her highlights done. A transmission began to get sent, Ahsoka went to answer it

"Master I'm receiving a strange transmission, I can't seem to hear it, boost the volume up" she told them and oh my Force filled fucking days, goldie lowered the volume like the unsuccessfull little droid it is, that's right, she called R3-S6 'it' she didn't care if it was offensive or not.

"No you're loosing it!" Anakin said before walking over and slapping a button which made the sound play clearer, it sounded a bit like an R2 unit... it must be R2D2 !

"That's R2" Anakin told them 

"That doesn't sound like R2" Ahsoka told him

"It's him, I could never forget his voice" okayyyy now Skyguy is sounding a wee bit.. schizophrenic.. whatever

"Rex trace it" She told the captain

"Yes, Sir" Rex told her, then Dee got a crazy idea, well theory mostly but it could work

"Skyguy, we're meant to look for the Separatist listening post or whatever, what if R2 IS at the listening post ?" Dee asked

"That's what I was thinking tiny" he replied, great not a single original thought plan around here 

"Sir, we've locked the coordinates" Rex told Anakin

"Prepare to jump into hyperspace, we're coming R2" Anakin told them

"Sir I'm picking up alot of encrypted chatter" Ahsoka told them

"Dee, contact your master" Anakin told her "Stubby, scramble secret code set 1477." He added

Dee called her master 

"Dee what's going on?" He asked her

"We think we've found the Separatist listening post," she told him "Buttt" before he could cut in "R2 is onboard" 

"You must sneak aboard that station, rescue R2 and destroy it, before they crack his memory code" he disconnected

"Keep jamming their scanners, if they spot us, we're dead" he told them, yay such positive energy for rescuing your droid 

Everyone was hanging about their ships and preparing to leave, "R4 you stay here, we'll probably have to take goldie" she told her droid who beeped sounding offended before rolling away, great.

"We're bringing the droid ?" Rex asked

"We'll need him to open secured hatches and access computer stations for us oh and Rex you get to carry him" Ahsoka told the captain

"Ah thats just great" Dee couldn't blame him, she was upset that R4 wasn't coming along, to her he was must more trustworthy the fake gold over here 

As they door opened Dee couldn't lie that the sight was beautiful, she stood on Anakin's right, while Ahsoka on his left, not waiting too long Dee began running off towards the ledge

"Follow us boys" she heard Ahsoka say behind her, when they were falling, basically nobody was behind them until Skyguy jumped, what a bunch of scaredy cats, everyone was holding their breath, Dee wasn't sure if it was so they don't yell or whatever 

"Next time you're lugging this astromech around" She heard Rex tell one of the unpainted men who giggled at him, Anakin ignited his saber and started cutting a hole through the floor and jumping right in, Dee jumped after him. They encountered droids talking about getting his head readjusted, he sure did because he got his head pulled off and the other one got sniped.

"Alright stubby get to work" Anakin told the gold droid as they arrived at a computer port, the gold droid plugged in as a hologram popped up Rex pointed to a location that they must be in

"We are here, the reactor is on level 38" Rex told them

"Ahsoka, take the squad and blow up those reactors gravity will do the rest, we'll meet in the landing bay Dee come with me to find R2" he told them, Dee looked at Ahsoka wondering why she was chosen to go with Ahsoka's master but Ahsoka just shrugged, clearly happy she gets to blow something up

"I hope you two find R2 in one piece "She told them

"Ofcourse we will" Dee told her friend 

Dee looked up, she felt the same energy she felt when Grievous went out on his little fighter the first time.

"I think Grievous is up there" she pointed up "And that means-" she got cut off

"That R2 would be nearby" Anakin finished for her before slamming her into wall ouch that hurt and was going to bruise

"Hey what was that for ?" she asked him while he shushed her and pointed out oh there were droids walking fast towards- towards- she didn't know but probably not a good place, she heard Anakins comm beep, she just took a deep breath, they were going to get spotted, 

"We found the reactor room sir, the alarm triggered another security wall" she heard Rex say, Dee was feeling petrified, what if she and Anakin get spotted ?

"This could take a while to bypass" Ahsoka told them

"Good luck with that," Anakin told her "Let's go Dee" he added after clicking off his comm, she heard very faint blasting at the other side

"I'll take a guess and say something went wrong", Anakin just nodded at her, Grievous knows that they are here, R2 is here, they've probably cracked R2's memory by now and are-- oh no

"The docking bay" she blurted out, Anakin just looked at her confused

"Grievous knows we are here" she heard a sound of a droid falling "he definitely does now, anyways, I hate to admit it but he probably cracked R2's memory and what does Grievous do a lot instead of standing and fighting ?" she asked

Anakin thought for a moment before it came to him "He's probably trying to get away" 

"In his ship" she finished "Skyguy we have to get to that docking bay now!" 

"I agree tiny, let's just hope we get there in time and they took off running 

They arrived at the docking bay just in time as whatever kind of tincans were starting to load up R2D2 into a ship

"R2" Anakin told the droid who beeped happily at them and the blasting began, 

Anakin and Dee charged the droids holding R2D2, Dee swung her saber creating and arch of white light that deflected the superdroids blasts like they were paper, Anakin stabbed his saber into the superdroids while Dee zipped through the closing door after the little droid, they turned around dropping R2, two had staffs with purple electricity bubbling from them.

"Well well well, you guys look just like fake Jedi" she told them, holding her saber in a reverse grip infront of her, the four charged her, she ducked, she was imbetween them really wishing for another lightsaber blade right now.

The one of her left stabbed straight ahead aiming for her neck, Dee quickly stepped to the left it felt so quick like a flashstep causing the guard, droid, whatever it was to stab his friend, the one who fell for her trick looked at her,

Now it was slightly more fair, it was 3 on 1, it wouldn't be that hard, right ?

This time he swung hard and fast, one of the medical ones (or so she thought and believed ) or whatever grabbed her her, she felt it hurt bad, she threw her arm forwards judo flipping the tin can then stabbing him in the center, 2 on 1, okay, could be worse, she saw cutting through the top it was blue, its either Anakin or Grievous, she was hoping for Anakin.

Luckily it was Anakin "You have something that belongs to me" he told the droids and the remaining two charged him and Dee, this time they were quicker,

They must have realised that they no longer had the upperhand they believed they had. Dee blocked the one of her left, which nearly resulted in her getting her arm chopped off, but she still blocked it,

It tried to slice her guts open, she blocked it, she jumped up and slid her lightsaber across the center of the stupid ass tin can. Anakin did the same, she looked before, her back and arm aching from the pain but she saw R2 built together when she saw him built together, somehow the pressure felt relieved ?

"Artooie" she told the droid 

"It's good to see you buddy, you don't look so good are you okay ?" he asked the droid pressed his head down what a cute father-son reunion, his comm clicked

"Rex- Rex can you hear me, R3-R3 is that you ?" he asked "Me and Dee have got R2, we'll meet you back in the landing bay", and they began walking towards the landing bay, R2 let out a few beeps like 'who is R3', 

"Who is R3, yeah I had to get a replacement droid" he told the R2 unit carefully "Sorry R2" he apologised, R2 was furious, Dee didn't blame him, if she went away then she got replaced she'd be positively fuming.

"It was Obi wans idea, look we'll talk about this later" he told him "Twilight this is Skywalker, rendezvous at the sound landing bay for emergency evacuation" so they were finally leaving this hellhole of a place.

As the Twilight arrived, there was nobody there, she could still feel Ahsoka in the Force but where was she ? where did she go ? why wasn't she here ?

"The Twilight's here but where's everyone else" Anakin asked looking around, Dee shook her head not knowing

A clone rushed down as R3-S6 approached the ship seeming oddly happy and overjoyed.

"Hey goldie where is everyone ? where's Ahsoka ?" Dee asked the droid, who simply just, ignored her, acting as if she didn't say anything, like she was a ghost ! Rex and another clone whose she didn't catch his name arrived.

"General Skywalker, Commander Sorin, the explosives are in place, objective completed" Rex told them, Dee looked around them

"Hey.. where's Ahsoka ?" She asked him 

"Yeah where is Ahsoka ?" Anakin asked 

"She engaged General Grievous" at those words Dee sprinted off,

"DEE WAIT" she heard Anakin behind her, wait for her boot maybe she sprinted, she closed her eyes, think think think, where do you feel Ahsoka, she stopped, she saw three hallways, think,

She felt Ahsoka in the one on her left, she ran, left, turn right, now left she made a few turns like that before she arrived at a closed door, she stabbed her lightsaber and turned it clockwise cutting a hole through the door. She was met face to face with the droid General.

He looked petrifying, but Dee had to hold her own bravery. If she showed that she was scared of him in any way then she was going to chicken out easier.

"Well well well another youngling " He told her, his voice made her feel scared, but she didn't have time to feel scared over an oversized tincan he was like double her height and like three or four times her weight but it couldn't be that horribly bad.

"You must be General Grievous" she told him "For someone whose reputation which is just so so big, I expected you to look less... like that" she said, she didn't know why she said that, she was trying to bait Grievous, she apparently did so well, he growled at her and charged,

She jumped over him and pressed her saber against his, green, white and blue made a teal colour, she ducked and retracted her saber from his and tried to press him back, at times she felt herself grow quicker and faster then slow down again.

"You are the second youngling I met today, and won't be the last I kill " 'kill ?' no she didn't plan on dying, she swung at him harder and faster, there's no way she could take him on the defensive but on the offensive she could stand a short chance, well until Ahsoka got to Anakin, then Dee could... she'd think of it.

She had to think up of a plan soon, adrenaline couldn't keep her going for longer than this without running out yet she felt like her energy could keep going for a while.

"Your friend is gone, she ran away, I may not have killed her but I will kill you!" So Ahsoka got away, YES! her friend is now safe, now she had her own safety to think about.

Grievous extened a third arm, probably to grab her, but in a quick flash she saw a lightsaber, she quickly grabbed it and ignited it, it was probably some dead Jedi's lightsaber, it failed it's last holders life but it might save hers.

She couldn't hold him off with one light saber but maybe having two would even her chances out a bit.

It was heavy in her left hand but holding it in a reverse grip made it slightly easier, she ducked and sliced at him, he looked stunned that she took his lightsaber. He looked offended, angry, she felt fear, but she couldn't show it could she ? it was currently going so well, 

"You dare take an item of my collection ?" he asked her, okay, originally, she wouldn't dare but this lightsaber could debate her life and death.

"I sure do, and I plan on taking you life with it" she told him, trying to mock him, trying to seem bigger then the fear she felt like right now.

"Then, yours will be another fine addition to my collection" He told her, before swinging at her, great she was now on the defensive, somehow, it was easier with two lightsabers to play defensive then with one,

She made an X with the two sabers which made a baby blue while he tried to break it, he was going to break her defense quick, she needed to move quick. She caught the two with her right hand which held her own lightsaber while trying to swipe with her left hand which held the other Jedi's lightsaber, she felt the ground shake beneath her, right time to act fas, she needed to get off here quick.

Grievous pushing her into the wall, she felt something crack, maybe her rib, it didn't hurt that bad, it actually barely did but she couldn't think of this now but how dare he ?! how physically dare he ?! 

She swung the two sabers in anger, slashing off Grievous hands, that could keep him shocked for a few moments, she jumped up and slipped, she grabbed the shelf with her left hand, dropping the blue lightsaber, whatever, it was never hers. then pulled herself up and started jumping across the shelfs until she found the hole she made and jumped through, now right time to run the same way she came.

She made it! She actually made it her few ideas worked together !

Ahsoka did expect Dee to come after her but hearing that the explosion was going off now and she was still nowhere to be seen and her master wasn't doing anything to try help her.

"Master we need to go after her, she's going to die !" She yelled at him

"Ahsoka, from what I've seen, Dee is more than capable, like you, to hold off a scrap with Grievous" He told her, blocking another blast, Ahsoka was able to outsmart Grievous by going through the vent but Dee didn't know that, she probably just charged him without a plan.

The heavy metalic door began getting cut through, she saw a white lightsaber, it was either Dee who she hoped it was or Grievous, luck actually got her, luckily as the person stepped through, it prove to be Dee, she had a bruise on her arm yet otherwise she looked fine and ran up beside Anakin and Ahsoka.

"Sorry I took so long, Grievous shoved me into a wall" she said blocking a blast that came, Ahsoka looked at Dee's back and sure enough there was a huge, purple and green angry patch looking at her, her friend didn't seem too bothered by it as she threw a droid into a wall with the Force. That was so cool ! She had to try that herself later.

"DEE, I already told Ahsoka this but it was foolish of you to take Grievous on by yourself" Anakin told her, scolding her, Ahsoka felt bad for her friend, she felt very disappointed with herself when she got scolded by him she luckily wore it off by reminding him that Dee was missing.

"Thanks for the 'so glad you're alive after encountering General Grievous' skyguy " Dee told Ahsoka's master, Ahsoka nearly snorted, Anakin didn't answer

"GENERAL SKYWALKER, THERE ARE FUEL CELLS OVER HERE!" Rex told Anakin

"Get ready Rex" Anakin told him as he lifted the fuel cells up and over causing an explosion, the doors opened, Ahsoka felt pride for the R2 unit and disgust for the R3 unit

"R2 did it" Ahsoka told him

"Ofcourse he did, now let's get out of here!"

Ahsoka and Dee went up the ramp Ahsoka asked her friend a question "What happened in your fight with Grievous ?" Dee smiled at her, like she didn't encounter a military officer and go head to head with him so unbothered about it all.

"Ah you know, a few death threats, stealing one of his lightsabers, getting shoved into a wall then escaping, just like the plan" she smirked in reply

"So you did have a plan ?" She asked feeling arguably better

"I'd say more it was more of a few educated guesses" Dee replied grinning and finally, Ahsoka grinned back 

"So let me get this straight Anakin, you risked all you man, your padawan and my padawan to save a droid ?" Obi wan asked, Anakin grimaced 

"Well you gave him permission master" Dee quickly told him her padawan braid bouncing happily

"Oh and you charged General Grievous with no back up ?" Obi wan asked her, eyes narrowing

"Yeah, I did, but look I had a plan so" she responded

"and what was this 'plan' ?" 

"Come out alive, what did you think it was ?" Obi wan shook his head, like he was tired, Anakin had to admit, Ahsoka was already headstrong and tiring but Dee was even more headstrong, tiring and add cocky to that,

The amount of times he wanted to yell at her to stop or to grab her with the Force so she doesn't move was insane. It wasn't that he disliked her, not at all, he just didn't want her to get hurt somehow, yet she still had a massive bruise on her back, on her arm and if he had to guess she probably had one on her ribs and she didn't even seem bothered by them !

"Anyways master, R2 found the listening post and he saved our lives, we couldn't just leave him there Obi wan" he told his former master, who just sighed and disconnected, Dee looked madly uncomfortable

"I'm gonna get kriffing yelled at for 42 minuntes " Dee groaned Ahsoka went over to pat her arm, Ahsoka didn't notice this but Anakin did, that Dee flinched slightly when her arm got touched in his opinion with how that bruise was looking, he would have flinched more.

"Anyways I'm going to hang out with Rex, cya master, cya Dee" she said skipping out 

"So tiny" he began, she swung her head to look at him "Where are you bruised  ?" He asked, Dee bit her lip before answering

"My lower back and arm, I don't think my chest is bruised" she answered casually 

"Okay then when we get onboard the Resolute you're going to medbay" he told her, she just raised her eyebrow and scrunched her nose at him

"I don't need to go to medbay over bruising, I'll be fine, it barely even hurts" She told him, she was clearly refusing to back down from the belief it didn't hurt and Anakin was just thinking wrong, he stood up and walked over, let's see if it really was 'fine'

"Wait what are doing ?" Dee asked moving slightly away from him, he gently pressed his fingers against her back, they way she yelped and jumped back proved his point.

"Why did you do that ?" she asked him, her voice going awfully whiny, it sounded different though, it was probably just the fast that she was whining "it just stopped hurting you made it worse" she added, sounding even more whiny

"So it does hurt ?" Anakin asked her, debating if he should crouch down to meet her eye level.

"Fine, yes, it does, but before you touched the bruise it hurt less " she told him, turning her head again, how did Obi wan deal with this on the daily ? is he supposed to apologise now to her or what ?

He crouched down to meet her eye level "look tiny I didn't want to hurt you I just needed to-" he got cut off by her looking straight at him, looking mad then she leant forwards and hugged him "I'm so sorry" she whispered, her Force signature felt like it was going to cry. "It's okay Tiny nobody is mad at you" he said hugging her back, just not touching anywhere near her lowerback, only her shoulders,

She started quietly sniffling holy this child was bipolar, it was fine though, atleast she admitted that she needed to go to medbay.

Chapter Text

Dee couldn't believe she was chosen to train initiates, she literally help defeat Cad Bane, she fought Grievous a krifing week ago, yet here she was, looking after little children, it's not that she disliked the initiates, she wasn't one too long ago so was Ahsoka but still, the idea felt humiliating, the older ones didn't respect her either since she was literally hanging out with them less then 2 rotations ago.

"I can't believe we're training children while everyone else is fighting," Dee told Ahsoka glumly while she spun her lightsabed around

"Yeah but look, they're cute aren't they ? They're the future of the Order" Ahsoka told her proud of the little ones

"Yeah so are we" she replied to that, Ahsoka just rolled her eyes, Dee saw her master approaching, she immediately straightened up, she couldn't let her master oh great master smarty see that she was internally dying.

"Any problems here ?" Obi wan asked looking straight at Dee, like he knew she disliked this and found it boring as kriff dung like he could read like a book from the archives.

"Nope master, absolutely cracking" she told him, which made some of the young initiates laugh, she raised her eyebrow at them, while Obi wan walked away muttering something about Dee being a cheek.

This place wasn't bad, Dee was just used to playing the hero not the teacher, she believed that she should be out there helping other Jedi fight the enemy! Not stay in a- wait this place wasn't cramped, not stay in a room teaching people, she wasn't good at that as it involved patience, which she lacked, she lacked it a lot.

There was a Twi'lek that Dee clicked with, Tina, she was like 10 or 11 and she was absolutely adorable, she was this lavender colour and her head piece had a bow on it, her lightsaber looked pretty similar to Dee's but she chose not to mention it, if someone looked up to her, she found it cute, 

There were another few but the one Dee found similar to Anakin was Kattin, because he was reckless and a bit cocky- wait she can't say cocky thats what Obi wan used to describe her just say bold.

Nala Dorr, a togruta didn't really like Dee, but she really liked Ahsoka, it was cute, she must've only been about 10.

There was a Rodian who was refusing to tell her his name, she wouldn't push him to tell her but she felt that he didn't trust her.

Anyways, Dee found herself looking mostly over Tina, she felt that this child had pretty good Force potential, as she once grabbed Dee's own lightsaber from Dee's belt.

She looked at her comm it showed the time 1800 time for bed, and probably better, she could stand Tina but the others weren't as sweet towards her.

"Alright it's 1800 I think it's time for bed" she said looking over at Obi wan and Anakin who nodded, soon all the children left and the four were walking out.

"So how was training younglings skyguy?" Ahsoka asked teasing him, Anakin made a fake grimace at the question,

"Horrible, actual torture, hopefully we get sent offworld soon because I can't stand them" Dee laughed at his words, Obi wan just rolled his eyes

After Dee went to bed she started having this horrifically specific dream.

"Get behind me" She heard herself say in a dream, a big ugly man and a bald woman with long hair ? it didn't make sense, were shooting blasts at her and when she looked behind she saw the five initiates from today, Tina, Nala, a rodian whose name she didn't catch, Ruun and Kattin, the temple alarms were blaring.

"Face it Dee Sorin, you've lost " the bald woman said, holding a stickish blaster

How would she have lost, she literally has a lightsaber and your man brought a gun

"Yeah well atleast I don't bring a gun to a lightsaber battle" she heard herself say,

She looked down and realised she had her lightsaber belt on but her pyjamas were on, this was weird, when she looked up the bald woman somehow teleported and yelled in Dee face, she woke up from the jumpscare.

"Just a dream, Dee, just a dream" she told herself, hugging her knees and then she heard it, the temple alarms going off, that kriff pot dream was no dream, it was probably a vision!

She rushed out of bed, grabbing her belt and lightsaber and putting on her sliders, Ahsoka and Obi wan were there, if she had to guess Anakin was still sleeping, she rolled her eyes and smashed a button that opened his door, she saw him putting his belt and grabbing his lightsaber

"HURRY UP SKYGUY" She yelled at him

"I'm hurrying tiny" he replied mockingly, what a jerk, before he went out and adressed the obvious

"So I'm thinking temple break in?" 

"I'd agree with you Anakin, Ahsoka go to the younglings on corridor 43, Anakin 55, Dee go onto 35, I'll go 77" Dee nodded at her masters words and rushed off, 

Dee felt horribly nervous, why would there be a temple break in.. no, how would there be a temple break in? 

Right she needed to find this corridor, she started counting down as she ran past each one, 

Corridor 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 and she's here, quickly stopping her run to turn to the corridor before beginning her lovely night time sprinting session, wasn't this lovely ? She stopped at the door where she knew the younglings would be,

The same metalic door she entered this morning to gather the young initiates. She heard voices in it a mocking female voice, was it the same woman from her vision ?

"Aww… so small. Makes the job almost feel cruel." Dee heard a blaster load, this was enough, she slammed the button that opened the metalic door and saw them, the same duo from her vision, a big fat ugly guy and a skinny woman, she didn't seem too tall. She actually seemed to be close to Dee's size and height.

"Hey uglies, pick on someone your own size" She told them, sounding a shit ton braver then she felt right now, the bald woman with a ponytail, which didn't made sense to Dee, looked a bit shocked to see her while the big guy just looked confused

"She's just another child we can take her easily" He said, at his words Dee ignited her light saber, the same song she got used to hearing played, the hum and shine of her blade lighted up the room alongside red flashing lights.

"She's not just any child... word says she fought Grievous and Bane" Dee raised her eyebrow so her doings to get around that's good, maybe people would stop treating her like a joke. 

"Good to know that what I do to people like you " She told her snarling,

What an ugly bounty hunter, she thought Bane was bad looks wise, she was even worse, she looked at the little initiates clearly petrified "Get behind me now " She told them as they scrambled quickly towards her, rather loudly along the cold marble floor, Dee wished Ahsoka was here, Dee sucked at defense she was more on the offense side of town also, unlike Ahsoka, Dee wasn't particularly the most... maternal person in the Temple.

Baldie laughed, a cold, high pitched laugh that filled the room and made Dee feel self conscious of her skills it made the young future Jedi flinch further behind Dee for the first time since rushing in here, Dee remembered she was wearing pyjamas, great she probably looked like a dumb bozo right now.

Dee waited for the first blast to come she stood widely protecting the future of the Order

"Let's see if my reputation precedes me" She muttered to herself as she blocked the first few bolts, the fat guy drops a- FUCK he drops a smoke bomb, now she couldn't see for a while, but thats, okay, thats perfect, she has the Force, she'll just try use it as her eyes instead her lightsaber looked like a streak of white light in a red room.

Baldie chooses to attack first by lunging, twirling her wrist-mounted blaster toward Dee, who steps lightly to the side, deflecting the bolt with an arched swipe, sparks fly across the room, bouncing off beds and walls, this wasn't going too bad so far she still felt like she had a bigger chance at beating them.

"Listen baldie, you've picked the wrong dorm" She told her

Biggie charges next, spinning his hat like how you would spin a boomerang. Dee flips backward onto a bunk, narrowly avoiding the weapon. "Too slow" she teased, she grabbed a handful of the Force and pushed biggie back while chucking a bunk on him, Baldie snarls at her, fury twisting her features and making her seem even worse.

Baldie recovers, sliding low and sweeping with her staff-like weapon. Dee ducks under the strike, letting it smash a bunk behind her. She pivots, catching a tossed blaster with the Force, and yanks it into her hand.

"Face is Dee Sorin, you've lost " How would she have lost right now ? Baldie's partner is trapped under a bunk and not only that, why would she bring a gun to a lightsaber ? she tossed the blaster right back at Baldster.

"Missed me. Try again." She teased the woman

Baldie growls and spins, which was arguably pretty funny, attacking with a atleast a dozen of blaster bolts. Dee deflects them all with rapid arcs of her white blade, forcing Aurra to retreat. She kicks a debris pile toward Embo, tripping him slightly as she vaults onto a table.

"You’re fast… for a 'child'" Baldie told her,

"And you're... decent for a 'hunter'" Dee replied mocking the words that came out of Baldie's mouth, she was starting to feel a bit tired but that was probably from the fact she got awoken at like midnight then suddenly she felt his random burst of energy, not sure where that came from but okay, she's not complaining.

Dee swung her lightsaber at Biggie's should one she saw him stand up, she cut a bit of his shoulder off, he yelled with pain and tried to charge her,  she flipped right back to where the initiates were,

The blasts were coming faster and harder now, streaks of red being deflected by an arch of white which was clearly being seen as a protection shield. 

Dee had to say, she was cheating a small bit, the only reason she was landing all her stunts was because she was using the Force to make her land well, she doubted if she wasn't using it she'd probably be on the floor,

The blasts were coming slower now, meaning, either loss or little of ammo or that they were tired and thinking of retreat,

Which both would be fantastic in her own opinion, in a final move, she shoved them to the wall with the Force pinning them back to the wall then dropping them.

"Stay back" she told them standing in between the children and the bounty hunters, Baldie looked at her, her nose twitching, clearly upset that a child beat her at her own game, get used to it.

"We'll meet again soon Dee Sorin" she sneered at her, oh she hoped so, 

"Would hope so baldie" she replied and with that they two bounty hunters jumped out a window, she didn't even try stopping them, she looked back and crouched down to the children's eye level, Force now it's time for the hard bit, asking if everyone's fine.

"Is everyone okay ?" she asked, breathing slightly heavily, to be fair she was battling them for a solid ten minutes however, everytime she felt her breathing get heavy, she felt a sudden relief and oxygen entering her lungs, she didn't know what was giving her that but thank the Force it was.

Tina walked up and hugged her, Dee was surprised for a moment before hugging her back, she might not be good at comforting people but she can surely try right ?

"It's okay, everyone is fine" she told them, she was going to press her comm on where it would normally be on her gauntlet but it wasn't, she didn't have her normal clothes on, she had her pyjamas on. She stood up from the hug and clipped her lightsaber to her belt. 

"Come on, we need to find someone with a comm to tell my master everything is fine" 

"Why would you need someone else to comm your master ?" Kattin asked now sounding more confident since the intruder's butts got kicked, ah so much respect for saving his life

"Because, I had to quickly rush over here and forgot to put on my armor that had the comm built into it" she told him " Now let's go, I'll be at the back if they try somehow attack us again " she added,

As a responce, they all nodded, still seeming a bit scared, she didn't blame them for being scared, she felt scared when she saw her village get burnt down by Separatist forces and good old Count Dookie, Force she didn't even want to think about how she'd feel if Shaak Ti didn't find her.

The oldest here aside from Dee, was probably 12, the youngest who was Nala the Togruta was probably 9 or 10, the two girls, Nala and Tina walked holding Dee's hands, this is a bit awkward... 

She didn't really know what to do about that until she heard running come towards them,

"great, they're coming for round two" she thought internally, preparing for another fighting session,

Not looking at the sad faces of the two girls that she let go of their hands quickly and grabbed her lightsaber, she felt the person approaching and ignited it at the approachers throat.

"Woah tiny, watch out where you're pointing that lightsaber" Oh holy Force skyguy, his face was shining with the white blade right up it, she extinguished her lightsaber feeling a small bit guilty for shoving it up Anakin's face

"Oh skyguy" she told him while sighing, thank the Force it was Anakin, sure she has been feeling more capable to fight recently since Grievous but she didn't want to fight any more, well not today atleast.

"I heard a crash and thought you fell out of a window " oh cheers, good to know the 'Hero with no fear' thinks so so highly of my capabilities and has such lovely concern.

"Wow, thanks for the concern, but it was the bounty hunters who chose to do that, not me" she told him crossing her arms, looking at the initiates, Kattin was looking at Anakin is amazement, she rolled her eyes at that, he might look cool but he gets mad annoying after a while,

"also skyguy, can you ring Obi wan, I left my comm in my bedroom" she told him, Anakin looked behind her which caused her to look aswell, she saw her master approaching with Ahsoka

"No need tiny" he muttered quietly to her

"Dee !" Ahsoka exclaimed running up to hug her friend who hugged back, oh holy Ahsoka I needed you like 15 minutes ago

"I see you were the one to fight off the bounty hunters " Obi wan told her looking at her with a raised eyebrow

"Yeah, and I fought them off with minimal damage" she replied,

She was resting her head between Ahsoka's montrails before letting go and going to the initiates again,

"They're all fine, nobody was stolen it was just a bit scrap between two lowlifes and me" she added proudly while smirking 

"She arrived in time as the tall woman pointed her gun at us" Tina's little voice told Obi wan, oh what a cute child, she had to tell Obi wan to request her to be tried by Kit Fisto or Aayla Secura, they were the padawanless Jedi she knew of.

"About that, how did the bounty hunters look like" He asked and Dee's eyes widened realising she never actually caught their names, she chuckled awkwardly oh this wasn't as perfect as thought 

"See master, I just kind of.. dubbed them as Baldie and Biggie" she told her rubbing her arm "One was big and fat and the other was bald with a ponytail though " she added, hoping that gave some sort of insight, Obi wan just pinched his nose bridge

"We'll figure this out in the morning, for now we need to find a place for these younglings to sleep" He told the trio who nodded 

Chapter Text

Between saving a few initiates from being captured by a bald woman and a fat man, having caught Gunray yet his escaping to Ventress and a traitors help, having Dooku, Anakin and Obi wan captured by pirates, Dee didn't think her next mission with Anakin and Ahsoka would be this soon and quick moving, however, the Clone Wars move quickly throughout the galaxy so she guessed she had to do so aswell, they exited hyperspace fast, clearly they were pushing it hard.

"Prepare the gunships," Anakin told the Admiral, Dee was rushing alongside Ahsoka, Aayla Secura was one of Dee's favourite Jedi Knights, not only that, she also took up Dee's initiate friend Tina as a padawan, Dee was hoping her little twi'lek friend wasn't too scared.

"Commander, get up there and stop those droids," Her master Secura told the commander, Tina was petrified, her master told her that Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano and Dee Sorin were coming to help them, Tina was really hoping to see Dee again, she's been looking up to her since Dee became a padawan, Tina was pretty good with fighting with her lightsaber but she didn't want to try fight all those droids, how do Dee and Ahsoka manage to do it ?

"Master will everything be alright ?" she asked, her voice timid, she had normal Jedi robes on, she tried something like her master or Dee on once before but she didn't feel safe and felt like she had less protection.

"I hope so, but knowing Skywalker, everything should be fine" Her master told her. 

The gang rushed into a gunship, Dee was preparing for the jump down towards the ship.

"We're ready Admiral" She heard Anakin say behind her, here we go, the ship jerked up and began going up out of the docking bay 

"General, Commander, Skywalker's here" Tina heard the clone from the commander center tell them, they were coming, she began looking for Dee Sorin, 

"And none too soon, we're beginning to enter the atmosphere !" That isn't good but she'll make it in time, she did so last time so she will again.

They were approaching fast and so were the superdroids, Dee held on tightly to the gunship, she left on with her left hand while with the other she held her lightsaber tightly, she noticed the tinnies were boarding Aayla and Tina's ship

"Those droids are boarding Aayla ship !" Anakin stated 

"So we're going to do something about it ?" Dee asked grinning at him, he grinned back at her 

"You bet tiny, try to catch up!" he replied before jumping onto one of them,she noticed a droid trying to take care of their pilot

"TAKE CARE OF THAT CLANKER THEN JOIN US !" She yelled before jumping outshe followed closely onto a different one, holy these things were hard to balance on,

She wrestled the tinny into the hole on the cruiser before slicing it and following skyguy, she sliced the droids on her side easily, they weren't even trying to fight, how lame, this was going to be easy, she heard a loud crash behind her,  ah that must be her best friend, dear clone captain Rex and rest of the gang.

She felt herself wobble slightly, holy they must be gunning hard now, Anakin shoved a super droid into the rest of the classic B1's, cool move she had to try that someday, she felt Ahsoka behind her, she turned around and hugged her, she saw Aayla, Commander Bly and little Tina come out from the other corridor 

"Nice entrance Skywalker" Master Secura told Skyguy "How do you plan on getting us out of this mess ?" She added, she knew the answer to that

"We've got a ship docking in the lower entrance like right now" she told her while deflecting a blaster bolt 

"Wonder hows docking going ?" Ahsoka asked her 

"Probably like shit" she told her friend while imagining how docking a ship thats actively going down must feel, they turned a corner and ran into a loner droid 

"Uh hold it" he told them, what a sad sight, Anakin ignited his blade, Dee brought hers up to her face, the door opened and more droids appeared, now this was going to be fun, she slashed the one who physically dared to laugh at them before running away with the rest

"We made it !" Ahsoka told them while pressing a button which opened the hanger door 

"Gangway locked in sir" she heard through her, Ahsoka and Anakin's comm, this wasn't going so badly, she heard and explosion behind her 

"IT'S TOO LATE" Anakin yelled before shoving them with the Force into the ship, her back hitting the wall hard wait what about- ANAKIN !

"MASTER !" Ahsoka yelled 

"ANAKIN !" Dee yelled at them same time

"Don't move the ship, I need to get the General " the togruta she knew as Ahsoka told into her comm, he sacrificed himself bravely, they needed to use it now

"I'll come with you Ahsoka" Dee told the Togruta who nodded at her, she clicked the button multiple times before it finally opened half way, Dee ignited her lightsaber and started cutting a hole through it, she shoved it with the Force and they rushed into the smoke and debris, how brave of them !

"Ahsoka, Dee we need to leave now" Her master told them, Tina stood beside her, Dee and Ahsoka both had Master Skywalker grabbed by an arm and were pulling him

"Not without Skyguy" Dee told her and she pulled him through the hole, her master looked at them.. proudly ?

"Hurry get him on the ship" she commanded, Tina felt the ship jerk as it started flying 

Dee and Ahsoka stood by Anakins side, Dee didn't even greet Tina, she didn't feel like it, not while Anakin was fighting for his every breath, she felt the docking sequence happen then the same sound that happens once you try to go into hyperspace

"What are they trying to do ? we need to dock " she wondered out loud angrily

"We need to dock so we can get Skyguy some medical attention !" Ahsoka agreed as she felt the sensation of hyperspace, 

"THATS IT !" She yelled "STAY WITH ANAKIN I'M ASKING WHAT'S GOING ON" she told her friend who nodded sadly, she stormed up to where the pilots, the General, the Commander and her friend Tina were, Master Secura looked at her sadly, Tina looked at her like she's seeing her for the first time again.

"What's going on ?" Dee asked "We need to get back to the Resolute or if you want to go to Coruscant it's-" she thought for a moment they went left so Coruscant is right, she pointed right "that way" she added 

"I'm sorry padawan Sorin but we have accidentally gone into hyperspace on the wrong coordinates" Dee felt her face pale she stepped back, kriff, she stepped out of the room and rushed to Ahsoka 

"What's wrong ?" Ahsoka asked, seeing her friends pale face

"Someone put in the wrong hyperspace coordinates and they activated, we don't know where we are going " she told her friend, who also, looked shocked, she hugged her, Skyguy might be her friend but he's Ahsoka's master, she had to worry about them now, the door opened and in came Aayla Secura and Tina Madden.

"Ahsoka, Dee, we need you up on the bridge now," Aayla told them, Dee didn't want to do, she felt lost what was she supposed to do, she didn't feel this way when she fought Bane or Grievous or Ventress, but now that Anakin or someone was actually hurt, she didn't know what she was going to do.

"Commander Bly doesn't need our help ! Anakin does" Ahsoka told her, Dee nodded at her words, Anakin looked like death itself right now

"You two can help Anakin by getting this ship to safety," she told them sternly, she looked at Anakin, she bit her lip what would he do right now ? she thought to herself, he'd probably try to steer the ship and then worry over them, she didn't even notice the door opened

"General Secura, Commander Madden we have a problem" Dee didn't even notice that Tina was there, she was too upset to smile at the little girl

"What is it, Commander ?" Master Secura asked 

"In our haste to escape the navicomputer's coordinates were imputted incorrectly. And we're heading straight for a star" Oh holy kriff that's just great, Dee grabbed Ahsoka's hand, looked sadly and Anakin and began running, pulling Ahsoka behind her 

"What are you doing, Anakin-" Ahsoka began pulling her back 

"Look Ahsoka, I want to help Anakin too, but if we're heading right into a star, then we don't have a way to save him until we change the hyperspace coordinates" She told her friend, who looked at her, finally realising what was happening, they both started running now 

Ahsoka sat down in the chair and started pressing buttons, Dee started thinking, what could make them exit hyperspace ?

"It's no use the navigation comupter is completely fried" 

Tina was petrified, Dee wasn't talking to anyone, she was standing over Ahsoka, clearly thinking, then once Commander Bly finished she started 

"If we shut down all power units, would that throw us out of hyperspace ?" She asked, how did she think of that ? she then looked horrified at something

"It would, shut off all power units to reset the coordinates," her master told them

"WAIT, that cuts off Anakin's life support! we can't do that!" She continued, keeping a gloved and armored hand on Ahsoka's shoulder, she wanted a hand on her shoulder too.

"I don't like it either, but it's a risk we have to do" Her master replied

"Why did I open my mouth" Dee quietly muttered, she looked at Ahsoka who looked upset but then she started looking determind

"We're switching off all primary units," isn't one of the primary units the oxygen and gravity generator, naturally, Tina felt herself drifting towards Dee

"Cutting it awfully close" Bly told them, this isn't good she wants to cry, she's scared, so so scared

"Ready to shut of auxiliary power" Master Secura told them

"On three, one, two, three" Dee replied, she didn't even sound scared a small bit, when the power got cut off, despite both Dee and Tina standing, only Tina got shoved back, Dee quickly grabbed her by the arm and pulled her closer like it was an instinct or something,

"WE'RE OUT OF HYPERSPACE, TURN THE POWER BACK ON" Dee yelled, holding Tina close to her leg, Tina was holding on tightly onto Dee's skirt, the handle that the blue captain was holding onto broke, Dee tried to grab with with the Force but failed which made him smash into her master.

"Switch the powerback on, what are you waiting for ?" Commander Bly asked, she didn't know how her master switched it on but she did, making Dee and Tina fall, Tina fell fine but Dee landed on her ankle, she watched her idol bite her lip hard while trying not to yell which made it start bleeding, she slightly looked over through the front, so did Tina but when Tina looked at Dee, it didn't feel like Dee, like she had the same appearance but in the Force she almost felt older and wiser ?

"Are we heading into a planet ?" She asked scared

"It's arguably better then a star," Ahsoka told her, looking down on Dee for a slight short moment "You good Dee?" she added

"I think I sprained my ankle, focus on flying, I don't want my last moments to be crashing onto a no name planet" she replied drly, her eye's looked oddly bright and she looked like she felt awkward ? Ahsoka just smirked at her

"Rex you got a bacta patch or something ?" Dee asked the blue captain

"Yes, Commander" he replied passing her a small packet, she looked down at her foot and took a deep breath "kriff" she heard her mutter really quietly 

How was she supposed to but a bacta patch in her ankle while she's got whole leggings and boots on, oh kriff her life the Force hates her, she'll deal with it once they land, and hopefully not crash land onto the planet.

She felt herself get jerked to the sides whenever something flew off their ship, all she wanted was for everyone to be okay right now.

Rex helped her out of the ship before heading back into the ship to get more injured off it, 

"Dee are you okay ?" she heard Tina's small voice ask her, ah Dee just feels sparkling right now

"Absolutely perfect" she told her dryly, she grabbed her bacta patch and unclipped the belt on her boot then tugged the zipper down, she pulled her sock slightly down and her legging a bit up, holy she definitely twisted it, it wasn't too bad just a bit swollen,

She twisted the the patch and applied the gel, bacta, whatever it was on her ankle, she felt it slightly heal but it wouldn't heal anytime soon, She felt this odd sensation of something leaving her and felt her ankle grow heavier , she'll worry about this later,

She saw Ahsoka and Aayla exit with Anakin, they sat him beside her, Ahsoka knelt beside her and scrunched her nose at her ankle, cheers Ahsoka

"That doesn't look too good" Ahsoka told her

"Ah, kind of guessed, I can't really walk so that sucks," she replied trying to not let the pain enter her vocal cords, she kept having this odd feeling of loosing conscious and feeling confused, what's going on ?

Soon, they had a little tent set up, Dee sat inside of it with Anakin, applying bacta onto her ankle, it wasn't healing half as quickly as Dee would've preferred it to she also ignored the sensation of something leaving her and returning everytime she felt pain to dull it, she'll figure this out later.

"We need to find help soon or Anakin won't last the night" Aayla told them

"Okay, you, Bly and Tina go south while Me and Rex stay here with Dee and Anakin" Ahsoka replied, crossing her arms

"No Ahsoka, in order to get help quickly, we must work together, I can't leave him, he's my master ! and she's my friend!, Master I know is either of them was hurt they wouldn't leave me behind" she exclaimed 

"I know this is hard Ahsoka, but they have to stay behind and we have to go now, there is nothing else we can do for him"

"Ahsoka we need to do all that we can to get off this planet," Tina's small voice told Ahsoka

Ahsoka looked into the horizon sadly while looking at some old tablet item, Dee decided to speak up

"Ahsoka, by night my ankle should be healed and then I'll be able to look after Anakin," she told her trying to comfort her, she looked at her and nodded especially if this weird feelijg is actually healing me she thought to herself.

"Rex you stay with them, just incase anything happens" 

"Don't worry kid, I'll take good care of them" He told Ahsoka

"Captain Rex, keep your locator on we should be back by daybreak with whoever or whatever lives on this planet" Aayla told the captain 

"Got it, General Secura, hey kid, good luck" He replied, what a nice captain

"Come on guys, let's move out" and the squad left them running, Dee guessed that would be the last time she saw them for a while, right now she needed to lock in, she had to heal her ankle before nightfall, she took 3 healing classes once, she was perfectly prepared.

She pressed her two fingers to her ankle, thinking of the Force entering it and healing it, come on, come on she needed this healed soon, her thoughts got interrupted by Rex.

"So, I'll take first watch I guess" Rex told her, Dee smiled

"Please do while I try get this ankle fixed by nightfall" she told him

"I'm going to guess, Sir, that it being healed by nightfall was a lie" 

"I'm not sure, I could be like, half healed if I don't figure out how to Force heal it somehow" She told him 

"If you don't mind me asking Commander, how do you heal with with the Force ?" He asked her

"Well I'm not sure, I only took 3 courses in it before dropping it, kind of regretting it now, but I'll figure it out" she replied, he smiled at her before walking away, now where was she at oh yes, think think think, think of the Force penetrating your ankle and healing it, feel the cool breeze from it.

Ahsoka was worried, not only for Anakin but for Dee too, there's only one who can fight fully, Dee could probably try to defend herself but she could hurt herself more.

"I can still sense you worry for Anakin and Dee, you attachment to them" 

"It's just... I get confused somethings, it's forbidden for Jedi to form attachments yet we're supposed to be compassionate" she replied feeling awkward

"It is nothing to be ashamed of, Ahsoka, I went through the same process with my own master" even her own padawan little Tina looked shocked

"Really ?" she asked 

"You ?" Ahsoka asked

"He was like a father to me, I realized for the greater good, I had to let him go, don't loose a thousand lives just to save one." but she'd always rather save as many people as she can, that's just who she was 

"Maybe, but that doesn't mean that I can't try to save his life"

Dee finally managed to heal her ankle mostly, she strapped it with a few random scraps of fabric and a bit of her own skirt, she stood up testing her ankle, ladies and gentlemen will it snap ?

She walked a bit, it hurt a wee bit, but she would be able to defend herself mostly, she smirked to herself, she zipped her boot up and clipped it and went over to check if Anakin's forehead was burning as bright as that star they nearly crashed into.

"Ay Commander, see that your ankle's treating you better" she heard Rex behind her 

"It sure is, I strapped it with a bit of fabric I found, now it's hopefully less useless then it was before," she told him pressing the back of her hand to check Skyguy's forehead it was burning but it was burning less then it was earlier 

"His forehead is still burning, do you think I should risk waking him up so he drinks or something ?" she asked 

"Try to, if he doesn't then leave him be" He replied before walking away.. okay then

She gently shook his shoulder, "Anakin" she whispered "Wake up, you're burning up" she added,

She shook him a few more times before she saw his eye's starting to open slightly she sighed of relief

"Padme ?" she heard him quietly ask, oh holy now she's going to get involved in his personal life

"No it's Dee, it's tiny-" she told him before getting cut off

"Oh tiny ? she's a good kid bit headstrong and stressed me out sometimes but listen p-" she put her hand over his mouth, she didn't have time for this chatting, she grabbed a water jug

"Listen Anakin, drink some of this water and you'll feel better" she insisted, she laced her words with a bit of the Force, not a lot but making him willing to drink the water

"Night padme" he told her quietly, holy she is not Padme but whatever, wait-

Anakin asked for Padme, said goodnight to Padme- whatever,

This wasn't Dee's business, all she wanted right now was for Skyguy to feel better, she stepped outside to test her ankle injury, she walked a few steps around, ran around a bit then looked at Rex

"It feels fine, think I'm grand now", she heard a noise behind her, might not be grand soon though

"turn your flashlights on" she told him while he nodded and did so,

Dee ignited her lightsaber, not for attacking or protecting herself, to see through the cold, dark, pointless night holy all these descriptive words made her feel like shakespear,

Whatever ignore that, she felt a few Force signatures but they felt scattered all over the planet

"Ahsoka, where ever you are, please come back soon" she whispered to herself

Tina made a bit of small talk with Ahsoka, who wasn't so bad as she thought, now they were at an abandoned place, she didn't like it here, she found herself drifting towards Ahsoka or her master for comfort. Her mind though of Dee's change in Force signature, how she felt older and wiser once she got hurt, how she didn't feel affected by it, was she really just that powerful ?

"I don't see any signs of life" Commander Bly told them, Tina didn't feel any signs of life well until large things started falling, she jumped with Ahsoka to dodge it, 

"No wonder it's deserted, it's a death trap" Ahsoka told them,

Out of the whole gang, Tina felt herself talking the least out of the gang, she was fine with it, she didn't feel like it, she was worried that Dee Sorin managed to get hurt on this mission, this meant she definitely could, to her Dee getting hurt was like- like a goddess being hurt, she just seems so powerful and she doesn't realise it!

"You'd have to be like clinically insane to dodge those on a daily basis !" She told the Togruta, her master looked around and spotted something

"It looks like something or someone intelligent enough to figure out a use for the pods has dragged them away, all we have to do is follow the trail,"

"Let's go then" she replied to her master

Holy this was boring, she wished she was with the others now, Anakin's fever was going down so now she was just walking around with Rex, doing whatever, she kept feeling and hearing weird growls but whenever she looked behind, nothing was there, she kept her hand on her lightsaber at all times, she felt something in the Force, something or someone being woken up!

She rushed over to Anakin and sure enough he was slowly opening his eyes on his own too,

"Oh skyguy thank god you're awake-" she stopped, he was looking past her, into the bushes, she squinted her eyes, trying to force them to see what Anakin saw, Anakin suddenly stood up and used her shoulder to help himself stand for a moment before walking out.

"Anakin- wait you're still hurt" she told him, he ignored her, he nearly fell she quickly caught him underneath his shoulders while Rex rushed over

"General, are you alright ?" he asked, Dee was wondering the same, also Anakin was heavy, she didn't know how long she could hold him like this.

"Be- behind you" he finally uttered out, Dee's head snapped and she finally saw it, what she had been feeling these few hours was here, a wee cheeky cunt was trying to sneak up on them, not on her watch, let go of Anakin with her left hand, still propping him up with her right and used the Force to shove that creature back.

It let out a loud yelp as it got thrown in the air, you know what, they had to gun it, she held it in the air, feeling strained for a few moments before that strain went away, she was grateful for whatever that was helping her this day.

"Rex- blast it!" she told the clone who nodded at her words and shot the creature a few times, after she knew that there were atleast a few blasts on the creature she threw it back even further and let go.

"See, everythings fine Skyguy, now Rex, help me lift him back into the tent" she told the two

Ahsoka kept feeling weird Force signatures from Dee, they kept changing, at one time she felt young and quick, like the Dee she knew, and then it changes to more older and wiser like she was older then galaxy or something ? It was odd, she doubted Dee even knew about it, hell maybe Ahsoka even had it and just didn't know.

She also felt her master wake up in the Force, which was really good, all this running was keeping up to her, very distantly, she felt something being thrown, she guessed that was Dee's doing which meant she was some sort of healed, Dee's friend, Tina was a really sweet girl, she kept telling Ahsoka random things that kept her mind off Anakin, still, she got told that Tina was turning 12 soon, it made her feel a bit sad, she was so young and having to do all this running at her young age, sure they had a few breaks every once in a while but still, 

They all stopped from hearing something yelp, Ahsoka gripped her lightsaber, she saw that Tina was holding her own one, the build seemed really similar to Dee's just without the two purple spikes at the end, she found it cute that this girl idolized Dee so much,

The steps kept coming faster, Ahsoka ignited her green lightsaber which hissed to life, creating a green light infront of her, Tina had the same lightsaber colour as her, green, while Aayla had a blue blade, all the lightsabers were humming letting out light

A peacock creature, similar to a Lothavian snatched one of the men up, she pushed Tina slightly behind her, they both flipped over to where master Secura was, these things were fast and aggressive, she guessed it was Commander Bly who sniped one of them in the skull the other one ran away at the sight, she hoped it wasn't running towards Anakin, Rex and Dee

They walked over and Commander Bly told them about the fallen "Cameron's dead, so are lucky and flesh," Ahsoka sighed sadly, this was beginning to be normal for her but it still felt sad 

"We have to keep moving" Master Secura told them before they started running again 

Dee's head kept snapping towards random sounds, she felt more alert then ever, she felt death in the Force, like a clone passing, meaning that Ahsoka and her squad probably ran into those creatures too, she was currently practising lifting up random objects, out of pure bordom and wishing to be heading home right now

Ahsoka kept running until day break, the sun was rising, they finally saw it, pods of all shape lined up, like a hive, meaning life was here

"Pod central, we made it" she told Aayla, Tina and Commander Bly happily, they slid down a hill into the village, there were little creatures down here, Ahsoka tried to remember if she ever read about them in the archives, but she guessed she didn't

"Hello ?" Tina asked, all the little creatures separated revealing the obvious village elder

"What are you doing here ?" he asked, oh so they did speak english 

"We are peacekeepers, We are Jedi from the Galactic Republic" Master Secura told them, the elder had a sour look on his face "Our ship crashed a few miles away, one is very injured and the other not so much but still injured, we need your help" she continued 

"Violence breeds violence, Jedi are no peacekeepers" Ahsoka was mad yet kept her tongue shut, she was sort of glad that Dee wasn't here because Dee was definitely give the elder a piece of her mind, instead Ahsoka decided to give a piece of hers

"We're fighting for freedom !" She told them

"And freedom and peace require fear and death ?" what is this guy playing at ? they're fighting for the greater good "We colonized this system to find solace from your wretched war, we came here to find peace, you must leave" he finished

"Look, I know you don't want us here, but atleast let us borrow a healer to help our friend, he's going to die!" Tina pleaded the man, seeing the small twi'lek plead the man must've swapped something in him, as he sighed and gestured for one of the creatures to walk forwards

"I cannot ignore a plea for help, I will send my son, Wang Too to help your friend" Oh thank the Force "He is a healer, but only two Jedi may go with him, the other must stay as insurance, we wouldn't want a surprise attack on our village or the kidnapping of our only healer," the Republic wasn't about that! whatever atleast they were getting a healer 

"Bly and I will stay, Ahsoka, Padawan mine, go help Anakin and Dee" Master Secura told them 

"No ! the clone and his blaster cannot stay, he will go with the young ones" Wang Too replied 

"Me and Tina can handle it, we don't need help" Ahsoka told Aayla 

"Be mindful of your surroundings Padawans, those creatures are still out there"

"Got it master" Tina told her, over the stretch of the mission, Ahsoka watched and Tina seemed to get more confident about well- everything

"We wont be long" Ahsoka told her before running off, she heard the others follow behind her

Dee heard multiple people ? running and rolling ? She ignited her lightsaber preparing for another attack, Anakin woke up behind her, she quickly extinguished her lightsaber and knelt beside him, putting a hand gently on his shoulder, he looked at her 

"General you need to maintain your rest" Rex told him, trying to press him down 

"I can't rest ! Rex, Dee, they're coming !" Oh great , Dee felt into the Force and indeed felt the same energy as last time coming back

"I can hear them !" Anakin continued, trying to stand up 

"Anakin, it's fine, I can fight them off," she told him as the creature arrived again she snatched it up with the Force, pulled her arm back the threw the creature backwards into the long grass, 2 more arrived, great, she gently pushed them again into the grass, they still charged, Rex shot one down, the other was coming straight at them, 

Dee shoved Anakin out of the way and through that mother karker backwards, clearly not as strong of a push as it stood up after a moment and continued it's charge, Ahsoka, Bly and Tina arrived, great let them take care of that, she went over towards Anakin and stood over him, igniting her lightsaber while the small creature tied a rope around the other nasty creatures legs, Ahsoka nearly killed it before running over and pulling at the rope with him or her, Rex and Tina joined in aswell then the little guy tied the legs up,

Dee extinguished her lightsaber and looked over Anakin who started to get up, she grabbed his arm and began pulling him up until he decided to call quits and lay down again.

"Master !" Ahsoka said rushing over with Rex and Tina

"Good to see you Snips" he told her 

"This is Wag Too, he's a healer." Ahsoka told not only Anakin but Dee too "He can make you well again!" she continued 

"Don't you worry, I can fix you right up" he told Anakin 

While walking back, Dee and Ahsoka took turns holding Anakin's stretcher, while Rex and Bly took turns aswell, Tina was bringing up the back with Wag Too

Soon they approached, good, Dee felt as if her ankle might give out, Aayla walked over and hugged Tina while they set Anakin down and several of the little creatures that Dee learnt were called Lermen surrounded Anakin

"Uhh Snips, Tiny ?" He asked sounding confused, Dee found back a giggle,

The healer strapped her Ankle with some wooley cotton things that had some oil in them, she was luckily allowed to put her boot over it as she didn't fancy walking around with her bare foot, he also told her that whatever she did must've worked well because it normally should take longer then how it did for her ankle to heal, she felt proud of herself

Tina was surprised when she saw Dee again, she had her skirt ripped, her brown hair in a braid was twisted with her padawan braid, she was shoving the creatures back with the Force bravely, it was cool, she seemed tired her Force signature was mixed it kept mixing in between the young and quick and the old and wise, still nobody seemed bothered by it so it must just be something random she's imagining.

Chapter Text

Dee had to admit, it was nice to be in constant peace, no fear of Separatists attacking, no need to play Commander just- peace, nothing happening, it reminded Dee of when she used to live on well before the Seppies blew it up, thats why Dee hated it here. It felt like she was going insane because of it.

Majority of the time she sulked around, went to hang out with Anakin or Ahsoka, Tina looked at her weird now, she also hung out with Rex at times, the rest of the time she spent testing her ankle's injury limit.

While she was landing a double side flip which was getting loads of applause from the locals, she looked up and zeroed her eyes in, proving her early theory that peace wouldn't last here long, "sorry have to cut the show short" she told them before running off to find the rest, she found Anakin, Tina, Ahsoka and Aayla quickly.

"There's a seppy ship approaching !" she told them as Rex and Bly arrived "Separatist ship ?" she asked

"Yes Commander" Rex told her 

"This is neutral space !" Wag Too told them

"The Separatists don't care ! to them this is just another planet to colonize and exploit !" She told them

"Help me up," Anakin told them

"Don't struggle, I'm sorry but you're too injured to move !" Wag Too told him, Dee wondered if the elder would force them out and like she thought of him, the devil brought himself in.

"What menace have you brought to our village now, Jedi ?" He asked

"Father you cannot blame them" Wag Too argued, 'what a nice lad' Dee thought to herself

"He's right, the Separatists don't even know we are here" Ahsoka argued 

"Their droid intelligence probably tells them we're on Coruscant " Dee added crossing her arms, now that she looked, Tina looked petrified, 

"And they can't know we are here, we've got to hide" Aayla finally said 

"Your presence here endangers us, you must leave before your enemies find you"

"But you'd need use to help you defend yourself, you can't find them alone" Tina finally spoke up, voice quiet yet firm

"We will not fight them, we would rather die before killing others" Oh great, theres no chance for any refuge or any way to help them

"You're going to surrender but how can you-" Ahsoka started 

"Ahsoka maybe if the Lermen want to remain neutral we have to respect that, if we force them into war that's again basic rights" Dee didn't know where this pure wisdom came from but she looked up at her carefully, Ahsoka's gaze was furious then it cooled down.

"See to it that they leave, I must see what the new visitors want" the elder said before walking away 

Anakin was getting lifted up and Rex and Bly, to Dee, Anakin was unable to be harmed, he was the chosen one, seeing him hurt like this made her realise how easy it might actually be for herself or Ahsoka or Tina to be hurt in this.

Dee was going to look back, but she didn't they began their walk into the long grass the healer leading them out, she heard quiet marching, Dee was walking with Anakin while Ahsoka was chatting up Wag Too

"We need to help them !" Tina told Ahsoka

"No if we are discovered all of the Lurmen will be slaughtered " Aayla told her, Dee's brain was locked in for survival

"If we get to the long grass everything would be okay" she told them while walking down, into the long grass, Dee only hoped she wouldn't get a fucking tick thats like three times the size of her knee

After walking for a solid 15 minutes, they all sat down, Dee's feelings of wisdom now were wearing down, realising that the Lermen were kind of cowards and she regretted not arguing with them.

"You know I can't figure those villagers not wanting to fight" Bly started, Dee just silently nodded

"No pride I guess" Rex agreed with his brother 

"I call it no courage" when Ahsoka said that, Anakin looked up to Dee like he expected her to have another burst of wisdom, she just raised her eyebrow at him, he rolled his eyes 

"Sometimes it takes courage to stick with ones belief padawan as well as any Jedi knows" Aayla told Ahsoka 

"We need to find a ship," Anakin told them, Dee wondered and her thoughts finished at realising that the only ship here probably belongs to the seppies she groaned internally at the thought 

"If I had to guess, the only one here probably belongs to the Separatists" she told him

"Exactly, we're going to have to steal a Separatist" Dee just sighed as he said that, Tina nodded, Dee felt something behind her, she snapped her head back quickly, Anakin stopped talking "Tiny- whats wrong ?" he asked her

"We're being watched," she told them, eyes scanning the terrain and the probe droid jumped up from the grass "Blast it!" She told the clones as the probe started flying away, not on her watch, 

She grabbed onto the weird 8 legs that were drifting down and held it down, the clones began shooting it down until she felt it power off, she dropped it,

"How much of that do you think it heard ?" She asked, not even knowing how she was supposed to feel right now.

"Hopefully not a lot padawan" Aayla told her, Tina looked like she was thinking really hard until she finally spoke

"Master maybe it was heading towards the big tree, maybe that was the roundezous ?" She asked, the big tree ? A BIG TREE ? before Aayla cut in, Dee asked Tina a question

"Tina, you say theres a big tree ?" She asked, Tina nodded a bit confused, Dee felt her brain thinking quickly "would we be able to see the Separatist opperations ?" She asked, not just Tina but everyone, Ahsoka's eyes lit up

"We probably could !, we need to go to that tree quickly " Ahsoka told them, they all nodded, whoever was sitting stood up, they had a new motive now

This was the fifth time Tina felt amazed by Dee's ability of quick thinking, they soon approached the big tree they saw earlier, Dee looked back at Anakin.

"Ahsoka, do you think that if you put your arm under Skyguys right shoulder and I put it under his left shoulder we could easily jump up with him onto the tree ?" Dee asked

"Yeah I think we could do that," Ahsoka told her and they walked over to Master Skywalker

"why are you two talking about me like I'm unconscious ?" He asked, but he didn't sound mad, he sounded like he was teasing them, they both just rolled their eyes at that before jumping up, she followed them quickly wanting to stick close to Dee like how close she stuck with Anakin or Ahsoka right now.

Dee's eyes focused into the future, Tina followed her gaze she couldn't see it, she looked through her electrobinoculars and spotted it, a full blown military opperation.

"Hope everyones feeling better because look at what the Separatists are setting up" Ahsoka told them, Anakin scoffed at her

"I'm feeling stronger all the time" he looked at the military opperation through Ahsoka's electrobinoculars "Maybe not strong enough for that" he added quickly.

Tina was putting all her trust in Dee and her Master right now, Dee was really smart, she was quick and clever, her master was also smart, they had this, Master Skywalker and Ahsoka also seemed like really clever people, they had this, Tina just had to learn how to be like them.

Dee was trying her best to think fast, normally she felt some sort of instinct to tell her what to do, like it was a guide, a help, now she felt nothing, she felt no instinct, no feeling in her gut she atleast always had that,

She didn't need the electrobinoculars to see that far but to look for the details, she needed to see the base up close she needed the details, not the basics, the full scale, there was tinnies everywhere, if she went- no that wouldn't work if the snuck- no that also wouldn't work, she wanted to rip her hair out nothing, NOTHING no single plan was working out 

"That shuttle's our ticket off this rock" Anakin told them, yes, she figured that out 5 minutes ago, she couldn't figure out how to kep on board the shuttle 

"It's not going to be east sir, there doesn't seem to be any flaws in their security line" fantastic, lovely, just great, no flaws, no breaks no nothing, she looked closer tanks were leaving ship, maybe if they got onto one of those that could be their way in, but how would they get in ? nothing was making sense, there was something else attached onto one of the tanks.

"It seems like the Separatists have a new toy, see if you can a closer look" Anakin told Commander Bly

"I'll go with you Commander" Rex told him

"I'll go with you too," Tina told them, her face was set, she clearly had a plan, which was good because Dee had nothing. She looked down again, seeing the droids jumping ? why would they be jumping ? all Dee could guess right now was that this new weapon, was far from a good one.

Two lone droids began walking away, Dee handed her Electrobinoculars to someone else, she didn't see who, they were coming close enough that Dee could see them fine without them, they were far away from Tina, Rex and Bly but all she hoped was that they would stay down.

The canon exploded, at first to Dee, it looked like an average canon but not when it landed it started taking away all life that was near oh how could her life get any worse ? she saw the trio running up, her eyes zeroed in on Tina who was running slower then the rest, Dee reached into the Force, stepping into a stance she knew she couldn't slip in and began quickly pulling her girl up, Aayla Secura spotted her and went after Commander Bly instead, she lifted Tina safely onto the tree, Tina latched onto Dee's leg, she was obviously scared, she pat the top of her head tails awkwardly,

Soon all three were up on the tree and the obvious was stated by Ahsoka

"That's some toy" yeah, she had to agree, soon she saw the droids heading out quickly, which mean they were heading to Lerman village, dear Force when she thought 'how could her life get any worse?' was rhetorical, not literal, a realisation came to her

"They're going to test it on innocent people! people who the Republic don't know exist!" she exclaimed

"Those villagers won't stand a chance" Aayla told her

"First we take out the droids communications center, then after we get a shuttle we head back and help them" Anakin replied

"But Tee Watt Kaa said he doesn't need our help!" Ahsoka exclaimed, 

"There's a difference between pulling innocents into war and leaving them to extinction" Anakin replied before walking off, Dee followed 

They were currently camping the Separatist fort, Tina went with Ahsoka and her master while Dee stayed behind with Skyguy and the clones, she didn't mind it though, Anakin clearly moved something with the Force, Dee could feel it but she couldn't see it, soon once the light fixated on it, she saw that he was moving a stone around, fooling the droids,

As he approached, Dee quickly ignited her lightsaber into him then extinguished it, trying not to make a beam of light for the tinnies to see.

Anakin didn't follow her idea and began slicing through the droids, Dee sighed and joined in slicing them through before the circular door opened and she jumped right in

They quickly and quietly went from corner to corner, some tinnies in a tank were chatting, Dee ignited her lightsaber behind them and slashed their heads off, she looked around before eyeing the shield generator, Dee remember when she first joined Master Kenobi's side, how her first idea was 'then just take the shield out?' her first ever idea in battle, which worked ofcourse

"Shield generator, Sir." Rex told Anakin

"Let's take em' with us" Anakin replied before they went into the ship,

The Seppy ship wasn't as nice as the Negotiator or the Twilight, overall Republic ships but it had to do.

They arrived at the village by daybreak, meaning that they've been here for atleast 3 days if she was counting it correctly,

The five Jedi left the ship nonchalantly, Dee ignored how the elder's fury was burning in the Force,

"Everyone, please, please, listen, the Separatists will be here in moments," Aayla begged

"What are you doing here ? I told you not to return ?" The elder asked, Dee had enough of his attitude 

"Look, we might respect your wished and leave, but the Separatists won't, this is basically an unknown planet, to everyone else out in the galaxy life here doesn't exist, they're going to test weapons on you's until there's nothing else left to test on, the Separatists don't give a damn about your way of life, we need to get all of you to safety before they arrive" she told the elder

"We will not abandon our homes !" the elder replied, DID HE NOT HEAR A KRIFF DAMN WORD SHE JUST SAID ?

"They're going to test their new weapon on you on all of you, we've seen what this weapon can do, it burns everything around it to life, you might speak for yourself wanting to stay here, but what of the children who still have a life ahead of them ? do you think that they want to die from being burnt to death ?!" she asked him, this old man was getting on her nerves 

"If it is our destiny to be destroyed in your war, so be it," this little Lerman was a horrible leader, in Dee opinion, he should be voted out of it and someone new should be in charge, Dee just made a frustrated sound and wrinkled her nose at the crusty old fart

Tina was surprised about how mean Dee looked at the old man, sure his way of life was different from Dee's but it didn't mean that she had to look at him so rudely, 

Now she could see Dee running around the place and helping, she didn't even get a scolding from master Skywalker, he just ignored it like it was normal for her to do something like that,

She was now standing beside Ahsoka, she overheard her ask a question

"How good do you think the Seppy shields are ?" 

"Well tiny, considering that we're not the ones going against, I'd say they're pretty good" Master Skywalker replied, Dee smirked back, so far she's understood that Master Kenobi is 'Smarty' , Master Skywalker is 'Skyguy', Ahsoka is 'Snips' and Dee is 'Tiny' but one time she also overheard Master Skywalker call her 'Speeds' she had to ask Dee about that,

Dee was stressing the kriff out, she felt insanely overstimulated from all this running around and checking equiptment, she also learnt that she had an alter ego apperantly, she was now either known as 'Speeds' or 'Tiny', Ahsoka as a joke called Dee 'Speeds' and Anakin heard so now it's been decided she's either 'Speeds' or 'Tiny' whatever she had over stuff to worry about, one example, not getting obliterated.

She was using the Force to pull pods, surprisingly, they weren't all that heavy as she imagined, the elder came back to complain to them, clearly he was not kriffing with their idea

"Pray, stop what you're doing, stop what you're doing" Dee was so close she could just shove her pod at him running him over, she doubted the Lermen would feel depressed over it, hell if she was a Lerman and that was her leader she'd be bouncing on her toes when it was suspected his time was coming.

"This battle is inevitable, you cant stand by your beliefs, but let us stand by ours" Skyguy told him, the old fart walked away, clearly furious that Anakin found a loophole

"Thank you for what you're trying to do, I'm sorry but I cannot help my father is.. strong willed and set in tradition, many others agree with me but we were raised under a very strict code, we must respect it even if we don't agree," Wag Too told Ahsoka and Dee, strict code eh ? Dee knew about a certain code

"We Jedi are also raised into a code, we respect it but sometimes we have to turn it to our own preference," Dee told the young healer, the quickly turned behind hearing the tanks being close by 

"They're holding positions," Rex told them

"They're not going to charge us, not if they can hit us from long range first" Anakin replied, 'if they could last long enough under the weapon, the seppies will come in themselves' Dee thought to herself  "If we can withstand that weapon, we'll draw them in" Anakin added, saying what Dee was thinking 

"Can we put the shield up already ?" Tina asked, she looked like nerves were getting at her, Dee was staring dead at the rocket approaching, she wasn't scared of it, she had this feeling that she'd survive it

"POWER THE SHIELD !" Anakin yelled and with that a pretty blue, purple and white shield emerged, as the flame approached the shield, she actually wasn't scared a few weeks back Dee would probably be shaking but right now, she wasn't scared of it at all.

Like expected, the shield held, the fire did not pass, it wasn't close to passing in any way, now the tinnies were going to come over for a visit.

"Now, they have to get their hands dirty and meet us face to face!" Anakin said proudly, Dee just smirked in reply

A squadron of droids were coming at them, they could be easily defeated in Dee's personal, humble opinion

"That's a lot of clankers," Ahsoka said, Dee elbowed her

"We've faced worse," She replied 

"We've got to stop them before they get through that shield!" Oh wait shit yeah

The seven stepped out of the shield, Dee was gripping her lightsaber tightly then ignited it, holding it in a reverse grip, she was the first to run at the droids, man had she been waiting to do some recycling.

Slash. Duck. Cut. Right. Swing. Left. Slice. Side flip- holy she nearly landed on her ankles side whoops, she was taking down tinnies quickly, she already had 7 down, she was majorly ignoring the whole blocking blasts with her lightsaber, she was hoping her moving around quickly would do that for her.

After about five minutes tops, all the droids were gone.

"That wasn't so tough," Tina told her, she seemed pretty happy now.

"If I had to guess, that would probably just be the first wave," She replied, 

"Speeds would be correct," Anakin replied, Dee looked around for a moment before remember Speeds is her same with Tiny, she has to get used to that.

Holy now she actually had to block alongside actually attacking.

Swing. Slice. Block. Left. Spin. Flip. Aerial. Slice. Her lightsaber was making a like whirlpool of white around her, to Dee it seemed pretty cool, but it was also blinding her that small bit.

"Snips, Tiny get back to the village, I'll take care of the new weapon," Dee took half a second to register Anakins words, before running off with Ahsoka, she sliced 2 droids down on the way,

"I'm going to need to ask him, which one of the nicknames he intends on using," Dee told Ahsoka

"I dunno speeds, I guess it'll depend on the moment," Ahsoka replied slicing down a droid, speeds sounded more natural from Ahsoka 

"Thanks for your wisdom pookums" she replied, smirking to herself 

"Oh curse you booboo" yeah curse her really, she cringed remembering that, she saw that a droid was about to shoot the shield generator not on her watchful eye

"THE SHIELD GENERATORS!" She yelled, Rex and Bly caught her words and shot the droid down, good

"TAKE ALL THE SUPERDROIDS DOWN!" She yelled again slicing two down, that was her main mission.

Dee took down all the superdroids, with Ahsoka help and now was moving on to help Tina with the classic b1's, behind her she saw the Lermen running under the droids feet, what are they doing ?

Soon it made sense once they pulled, there were two different lines, Ahsoka sliced one and Dee sliced the other all the droids were gone, Dee had to admit it was a good ass tactic.

Dee was standing beside Ahsoka and Anakin as the healer who helped save her ankle and Skyguy as an after thought arrived.

"Thank you Wag Too" Anakin told him

"Thank you, without your help our village would be destroyed, father I was just offering the Jedi our thanks," Wag Too replied

"I suppose we do owe you thanks, but I still wonder at what cost" Dee didn't have the energy to wonder. 

Thank the Force the Admiral had arrived with the ships.

Dee's coat ^^

It was really cold, Dee was grateful for her coat because she doubted how long she would last on this Force damned moon without it.

"AND THIS IS THE ISLANDS TROPICAL ZONE" Obi wan yelled over the wind

"IT DOESN'T FEEL VERY TROPICAL!" Dee yelled back

"IT'S NOT TATOONIE FOR SURE!" Anakin replied "CAPTAIN REX, HAVE YOUR MEN SURVEY THE AREA, PLACE AS MANY SENSOR BEACONS AS YOU CAN BEFORE DARK" he added towards the men 

"HEY SO LET'S ASK THE OBVIOUS, WHY IS THERE AN OUTPOST OUT HERE ?" Dee asked 

"Because the chairman requested it," Anakin answered, that gives so much help

"General Kenobi!" A voice yelled out behind them

"Chairman Cho, Senator Chuchi, I suggest you wait here until we can secure the area," Obi wan told the other man

"I respect your judgment General Kenobi, but I will go as I choose. This is sovereign Pantora territory" Hey wait a minute isn't this place uncharted ?

"But this planet is uninhabited and so it's not alligned?" Dee asked

"Our moon of Pantora is the only civilization in this system, I'm the one the Senate asked to protect this planet, this wasteland belongs to us!" okay then buddy calm your horses

"With all due respect Chairman, this is for the Senate to decide, not us," Obi wan told him

"Ah yes but the Jedi report to the Senate which is Senator Chuchi of Pantora" The chairman replied gesturing to a girl behind him

"Technically speaking, Master Jedi, the Chairman is correct. Since the planet is uninhabited, the moon of Pantora reserves the right to continue as it protectorate," The Senator told them hey so there was another girl on this planet and she was smart and she was pretty, coolsies

"Point taken Senator, Anakin, Dee stay here with the Senator and the droids while we secure the base," Master Kenobi told the two Jedi, so he gets to go inside while Dee stays in the freezing cold, oh how many priviledges a Jedi Master must have

Right as Master Kenobi opened the doors, three droids rolled ? walked ? Dee didn't know what wording to use but it was R2D2, her own droid R4 and another golden droid who Anakin told her was C-3P0, 

"Might we go inside Master Anakin ? R2 and R4 would like to get out of the cold," C-3P0 asked them 

"We'll go inside as soon as Obi wan signals that it's safe," Anakin told the gold droid

"Hey so it's a pretty big base there so maybe they need extra help searching ?" Dee asked

"Nice try tiny," Oh well, it was worth a shot

Dee prefered being inside the snow scooter, sure they're heading to a tinny base but hey atleast she was inside a snow speeder and not in the freezing cold, depressing snow.

The Separatist base was underwhelming, clearly their opperations haven't been set up well, she walked over towards one of the droid heads sticking out and touched it, hey these were all intact maybe their memory was still working !

"By the looks of things, I'd say whoever attacked our base also attacked theirs," Obi wan told them from behind

"Maybe but we might have a clue as to who attacked the seppies," Dee smirked proudly crossing her arms

"Really ? and what would that be ?" Obi wan asked

"The droids heads are intact, meaning majority of their memory cards should also be intact," She answered, Obi wan only nodded at her before speaking

"Rex, help Anakin place the sensor beacons. You four and Dee, come with me" 

"Yes, General,"

"Okay master, let's go" she answered

By the placement of the droids, it looked like they were trying to intimidate them or whoever entered the base, she remembered learning that in ancient ages of Eeth, her home planet, Antient Celts or the French Revolution would stick the enemys head on a pole as an intimidation method maybe the same was happening here ?

"Did you find anything ?" Obi wan asked Anakin

"I found some large footprints" Anakin answered, nice

"Have someone make a cast," she yelled down at him her voice echoing 

They walked into a projector room, similar to a Republic one, but how different could the command rooms be ?

"Sensors are in place,"

"I think I've found something," Obi wan told them before clicking something and it didn't project up, Dee kicked it, Anakin punched it, it hurt her big toe a bit before she saw the projection.

"685 TO COMMAND, THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM! THEY'RE OVERRUUN THE BASE! WE NEED REINFORCEMENTS!" And as the droid finished speaking something quick raced of

"What the kriff was that ?" Dee asked 

"Whatever it was, it was a good warrior," Obi wan replied, 

"The droids log indicates they were investigating the southern canyon." Rex told them

"Sounds like a decent enough area to start," Dee answered 

This whole mission began to suck buns, thank god her coat had a heat generator or she would loose it, hyperthermia or not.

"They're somekind of reflection up there, do you see it ?" Obi wan asked, Dee squinted her eyes, she didn't feel bothered enough to use the electrobinoculars right now,

"Yep" Anakin answered

"Well they know we're coming," Obi wan told them, 

"Great, let's get to know our hosts," Dee answered before getting into her speeder and starting it up again.

After less than 4 minutes of driving they arrived on their host's doorstep and these were a kind of.. breed.. type of species that Dee hadn't seen before ever, she thought the Lermen were a wee bit odd, these were even more odd.

Holy she did not want to step outside her speeder but did so anyways, she couldn't decide if it was better for her to stand behind and possibly get snatched or stand infront and possibly be first noticed by the specimen.

"Steady, Anakin, Dee, they're only curious," Obi wan told the two, yeah ? well Dee wasn't curious "Let's not provoke them as the droids and our troops must have done "  he added before walking forwards, kriff her life.

Walking forwards a few steps two of the creatures made an X with their spears, and you know what ? Dee respected that, she didn't want to step closer either, well they didn't respect that and gestured for them to walk again, oh she could have offered to stay with Ahsoka and Master Plo Koon what the kark was this right now ?

"Too bad we didn't bring 3-P0 along, how do you plan on communicating with these things ?" Anakin asked Obi wan, Dee decided to answer this like it was directed to her

"I don't," She answered simply, Obi wan gave her a stern look.

"Patience, maybe they're smarter than we are," Obi wan answered, Dee doubted him, to her they must be like the Croodaceous age smart, like the croods smart or something, she doubted their intelligence levels.

As she nearly had a spear chucked at her she doubted her masters words less and less.

"Well, say something," Anakin told him, Dee smirked crossing her arms

"Just shut up," he answered, catching Dee's smirk "They both of you" he added

They all bowed, some probably ment it more than others.

Walking into the tent was nicer mainly because it was warm, that was the only nice part, the angry gestures towards the b1 unit drawings were about to make her wheeze and she could not afford to without probably getting speared out.

"We come to you in peace," Obi wan tried, oh this was never going to work, as he continued speaking, Dee looked over Anakins arm and saw him drawing something, like two blobs hugging, she raised her eyebrow at him, he ignored her,

"Peace" He said lifting the tablet thing up, Dee just shut her mouth hoping they'd get the rough idea.

The creature ? she didn't know what it was, screw it for now it was going to be dubbed as Croodaceous being until they learnt what they were, started leading them out, Obi wan extended his arm out, instead of shaking it the Croodaceous being lifted him up into the air like a doll.

"I think he gets what peace means" she told him, smirking to herself before putting her goggles over her eyes and heading back towards her snow speeder.

She was really glad to be finally back at the base, sure it was kind of fun being around the Croodaceous beings but she was cold now and was starting to believe that frostbite was actually having a row at her.

Commander Cody walked up to her as she was stepping out of her speeder, see her and Cody never really had much of proper conversations, she found herself often assigned with Captain Rex and began to see the blonde clone is brotherish way.

"Glad you made it back sir, it's getting ugly out there," He told her 

"Eh well atleast we found a few interesting Croodaceous creatures," she replied smirking, ripping her hood off her head letting her air flow loose, Cody looked flabberghasted

"What do you mean by that sir ?" Cody asked staring at her

"It seems like this planet, contrary to popular belief, is actually inhabited but now to tell-" she was going to say ''dear chairman'' but it looks like Obi wan got there first and now the Pantorian was in a fit of rage.

"They're dangerous, they must be subdued, Commander Sorin, Captain Rex, prepare your men for battle," The chairman yelled, okay buddy

"But we promised the creatures peace, we told them that we meant no harm!" she exclaimed at him, he only looked angrily down at her 

"We've arranged a meeting between their high council and you and the Senator, they want peace," Obi wan told him

"We can't send troopers, they'll think we lied!" Anakin argued

"These creatures are little more than animals, you can't lie to an animal, they can't be trusted," That was so- racist ? yeah it definitely was, that was so messed up, sure she might have felt the creatures were a bit less advanced but she didn't call them savages and animals! or did it sound like she did ?

"But your majesty-" The Senator began

"No! It's obvious these creatures are not covered by the connection of civilized systems, the Jedi Council has no say in this matter !" He cut her off

"If the Jedi are able to communicate with them, their status is in doubt," she told him

"Do you stand against your chairman Senator ?" He asked, this old fart had to be put out of office, he was clearly imprinting his old racial ways onto the new ways of the Republic to respect everyone and everybeing!

"Of course not, your majesty." she answered quickly, the poor girl seemed scared

"If we're going to meet with Thi-Sen and his council members at the arranged time, we'll have to leave now," Obi wan told the Pantorian Chairman

Oh holy and ofcourse Dee had to be the only Jedi tagging along, she had to have some sort of blessing at this point to get sent on these kinds of missions, 

No matter whatever the Chairman thought, Dee wasn't going to go into war with these creatures, she told this to the men 'only act in self defence for yourself or the Chairman', these creatures may not be as advanced but they were rather.. violet let's say.

Dee flanked slightly behind the Chairman's left, closer towards her master Obi wan and when they got out after miles and miles of white she already though of the mans next words before he said them.

"Captain, put your men on that ice ridge, We will attack as soon as the savages arrive." Oh her holy kriff this was getting old, can't he just accept that his moon isn't Pantora's and leave it be ?

"There will be no attack Chairman!" Obi wan yelled walking up to him, Dee continued her pace alongside Anakin

"You will do as I command,this planet is under my jurisdiction" He answered back

"Well it shouldn't be," She muttered under her breath

"Nothing is under your control Chairman, The Talz are already here," Obi wan answered, clearly more calm then Dee felt

"Their scouts have been following us for quite some time," Anakin added, Dee only smirked at her mans face as she walked straight past him.

"It seems like dear Chairman, that thi-sen doesn't trust you anymore then you do him," she told him proudly, walking up alongside the two Jedi, stopping and slightly turning to the side as Anakin told Rex some new orders.

"Rex, Cody, tell your men to stand down, stay here and don't do anything to provoke them!"

And with that they began their walk, Dee didn't doubt Thi-sen's judgement if he chose to slime the Chairman on sight, if he did, she would have by accident closed her eyes taking a good long blink.

"Your highness, we have returned," Obi wan told the Talz bowing his head, Dee followed suit.

C-3p0 walked up with the Chairman behind him slightly, Dee was only hoping this Chairman wouldn't be like the High Regent of Eeth, man she remembered him, acting all high and mighty yet behind all that he was disgusting, whole government of Eeth was disgusting, they ignored slavery until like 55 years ? give or take between 55 to 50 it was voted illegal but it wasn't long until apparently the really rich people got bored and attempted to make something called the Awakening Games, luckily the High Regiment Council voted against it so it didn't happen, still was a scary thought, Dee remembered reading the Hunger Games and being told thats what could've been if the High Regiment Council voted otherwise, she couldn't imagine being Katniss Everdeen-     

She got snapped out of her thoughts as the conversation between the Chairman and the Talz would begin

"Cheiften Thi-Sen welcomes you into his home and hopes you come in peace. He wishes to be good neighbours," Hey this was going pretty well! maybe they could split the planet in half or something?

"But he does not wish you remain on his planet," oh kriff

'Don't escalate it, don't escalate it, do not escalate it," Was all that Dee heard in her ears, she mentally sighed to herself, taking an educated guess and guessing what would come next.

"Listen droid, translate everything as I say and exactly as I say it," Oh great, here comes the storm

"Listen here you savage! This world belongs to the moon of Pantora. And as the Supreme Chairman and exalted ruler of Pantora, you will not command me to leave this planet or do anything ELSE!"

Great, these were the final kicks of the bucket.

"Your majesty, We can't-" Senator Chuchi began

"Droid tell him!" The Chairman said, ignoring the Senator 

And that was the final kick of the bucket, Dee began writing her will in her head

The final will and Testiement of one Dee Sorin'

Dee Sorin, Born on the Planet Eeth in the Outer Rim has 

unfortunetly passed away due to being killed by a Croodaceaous 

being whom was provoked by the Chairman of Pantora

Ahsoka Tano and Dee's childhood friends Ayné Buranis, Soleah Sa’Lennice may

.share the very few belongings of the loyal Jedi Padawan

The burial of Dee Sorin shall take place upon when her cold dead body is recovered

'from the planet she was killed upon

Wasn't that nice for something she came up in five seconds ? no it's not she wasn't going to go out this way.

"Chairman, I'd recommend a slightly less- accusitory approach ?" Dee suggested to the Chairman, she wasn't going to turn her light off because the Chairman chose to act too high and mighty

"Nonsense Commander, It is exactly what I wanted to say and how it will be said!" Oh great, yeah this might be it- no it won't be she'll figure out of way to avoid herself getting killed on this mission.

"That didn't go over very well," Anakin said, stating the obvious as Thi-Sen looked hugely angry, if anyone asked, Dee would say she wasn't scared right now and was feeling pumped with energy and adrenaline and ready to fight and defend the Chairman, in full honesty, all Dee wanted to personally do was hug Obi wan or Anakin and hope they'd bloody protect her and shield her from this, but knowing her ass luck, she'd be stuck out leading the Chairman's attack.

"Chairman, I promised the Talz we'd leave in peace," Obi wan told the Chairman, hell yes they did promise that so heyyy let's leave now, Dee's got a whole hundred years or so to live.

"This is now an internal affair of Pantora." Holy shit Thi-Sen looked mad pissed, Dee slowly backed up into Anakin, who put a hand on her shoulder, she couldn't tell if it was a way of comforting her, or maybe to say 'don't move or else they'll spot you' 

"The great Thi-Sen, son of suns asks again that you will leave or it will be war," C-3p0 translated

Please just say okay we'll leave Please just say okay we'll leave Please just say okay we'll leave Please just say okay we'll leave Please just say okay we'll leave Please just say okay we'll leave Please just say okay we'll leave Please just say okay we'll leave Please just say okay we'll leave Please just say okay we'll leave Please just say okay we'll leave Please just say okay we'll leave Please just say okay we'll leave Please just say okay we'll leave Please say okay we'll leave Please just say-

"Then war it will be," Oh curse this, clearly positive thinking doesn't work most of the time.

The Talz walked out angrily, Dee felt herself grow ashamed, she's a Jedi! she's supposed to stick up for those who can't and be a peacekeeper but clearly she couldn't even do that.

The camp was bussling, Dee stood beside Rex as the Chairman approached, she was going strictly to protect the Chairman, though if she had her way she wouldn't be going, but in her first mission she made a promise to herself, if the troops were going on a mission she wasn't willing to go on, they weren't either, which now meant that she had to go now or else you man here would exclude Pantora from the Republic.

"Commander, mount your troops and follow me." He told her, she nodded and as he walked away she spoke to her troops

"This is just to protect the Chairman in his- delusional fantasy, mount up, we're only going to defend him," She told them as they nodded, Smarty and Skyguy started to approach, Her master, Obi wan, Smarty, looked very rather annoyed with something, so did Skyguy.

"Dee you're going to have to stay with the Chairman until we work things out." Her master told her, oh poodoo she thought as they walked away

'Great,' she thought as she mounted her snow speeder, ofcourse she had to be the one sent alone on this, she wasn't scared that much persay, just irriated because this could've been resolved so kriffing simply it made her head hurt.

She felt presenses above her, she spoke into her comm

"I can feel them above us, theres some hiding and ones in the open," She told the clones- and Chairman

"There they are, fire when you are in range!" The Chairman said instead, ignoring Dee's words of advice and choosing to ignore that this was a clear fat trap.

"Sir with all due respect, we're only here to protect you," Rex told him, she felt something now underneath her FUCK

"THERE UNDERNEATH US, THIS IS AN AMBUSH!" She told them all as the Talz came up from the ground, the Chairman began blasting and so did the Clones, it was darkish blue and pure white.

See she could handle the Talz just grand, it was their pets that were the real problem, as soon as she say that Rex got his own speeder yanked she jumped out herself and ignited her lightsaber, fuck it she probably had a better chance on the snow, the ground, instead of on that manky speeder.

She used the Force to push all the spears back into the storm while Rex gave orders, one of the Talz nearly sniped the Chairmans bodyguard, she sliced his spear with her lightsaber and shoved him back with the Force before quickly slicing another spear that came awfully close to her left eye.

No matter how many times Dee used to Force to shove the spears back, which normally worked and saved many lives, it still was taking a few lives each time, 

"We've got to hold out!" Rex told his men, Dee would agree if she didn't hear the pants of the animals the Talz kept as horses.

She ran out and slashed her lightsaber at the animals legs, this way in the long run, they shouldn't be too injured, however she didn't know if the Talz would eat their pets if they were injured for a while- but she didn't plan on finding out.

"WE NEED TO RETREAT, IT'S THE ONLY SHOT WE HAVE AT COMING BACK ALIVE!" She yelled at the chairman

"Retreat ? we do not retreat from these animals," he replied, she felt another spear hurtling towards his bodyguards, kriff this, if he needed to see how cooked he was without Dee essentially babysitting him, so be it, she left to protect some of the other clones from being speared down and turned her back on the Chairman,

Those 4 seconds she had her back turned, he got infact speared, she shoved the Talz that nearly stabbed his head with the Force before issuing her order.

"RETREAT WE HEAD BACK TO THE BASE!" She told them while Rex hoisted the man up onto his speeder and Dee got onto hers, damn this, this wasn't worth the fallen soilders.

As they approached the base, Dee very well hoped they found a way to avoid yet another battle is this Force damned weather, she felt the Talz right behind her, she wanted to literally cry, can they just LEAVE HER ALONE ?

She put her snow speeder on autopilot to reach the base and stood up on her vehicle, she reached into the Force feeling her iritation towards the Talz right now spiking violently and shoved them back into rock, she felt pain in the Force, good, let them leave her alone, she jumped back down onto her speeder and turned autopilot off.

She felt the gunships above her, oh finally the peace negotiation, took them long enough, she felt more Talz above her, but now they actually had reinforcements, however infront of her she saw the ice bridge began to collapse she swerved her bike to the side powering it off, she jumped right off beside the cavern of ice and reached into the Force again, grabbed the two troopers, she felt herself sway slightly towards with their weight. She used all her might and began walking backwards pulling the troopers back up from the cavern.

After what must've been thirty seconds to the other clones but what felt like a hot 30 minutes to Dee, the clones were back up, four more clones walked up to the two clones which nearly fell and began helping them back while Dee placed her hands on her knees and panted for another few seconds, it was crazy to her that she was panting from exhaustion in this weather but whatever, she'll chose to ignore it.

She looked behind her and was hoping to see plain white snow and Republic gunships landing.

Spoiler Alert, she didn't

Infact she saw a whole big line of Talz running towards them, reminding her of that one scene from Lord of The Rings where Rohan aids Gonder- whatever this is getting out of topic and the fact that she's probably about to get speared if the reinforcements don't arrive.

Rex began blasting at the Talz while Dee reflected their spears, she ignored the pain that was stinging her temples or the burning sensation at the top of her forehead, or how her arms were about to start shaking, hell they probably were.

Luckily the clones were making good progress it taking the Talz out- which was a wild thing for her to think about the fact that she's supposed to preserve life instead of taking it but at this point, if she had to guess, both her and Thi-Sen wanted eachother out of the game. 

Finally after what felt like ages upon ages, the Republic gunships began to drop into landing positions, which was really really good because she didn't know how much longer she could continously deflect the spears like this.

The gunships clearly intimidated the Talz which made them stop running, once they landed, Dee's legs finally gave out and she dropped onto the snow, her left knee up and her right knee in the snow, she took these few short mornings to breathe the crispy cold air in before the Senator, Master Obi wan and Master Skywalker left the gunship and she stood up abruptly, swayed to her right for half a second before walking up to them.

"Good to see you guys," She was about to say before Rex beat her to it

"Good to see you, Sir" Rex told them

"You okay Rex ?" Anakin asked him, Rex nodded, then he rounded on Dee

"Tiny, what about you?"

"Hm ? oh yeah I'm fine," She told him looking up slightly "There's 2 dead, I think atleast and 3 wounded, including the Chairman," she added, feel immense guilt that she couldn't remember if one or two or even more clones died under her command.

Senator Chuchi ran up to the Chairman, crouching beside him placing a hand on his shoulder,

"Chairman, can you hear me ?" she asking him, Dee crossed her arms, not that she was mad at anything, she was actually feeling quite cold to be quite frank,

The Chairman gripped his hand onto the Senator's hand then onto her shoulder,

"Senator, good, you must avenge me, it's my final command, as Chairman of Pantora, I order you to destroy the Talz!" he told her, she didn't get when Anakin and Obi wan were looking so smug right now, what was going to happen ?

"I'm afraid I can't do that Chairman, the Pantoran Assembly has called you out of order, I am no negociate peace," right let's go, Dee felt her lips quirk up at the Senators words

"No, no, impossible! peace.. never.. I died for our people !" were the ex-Chairman's final words before Dee felt his Force signature faint away and so did his body go stiff, she heard the Talz start making their own sounds, right now it the time to act, Dee walked over to the Senators side and placed a hand on her shoulder,

"I don't know what you are planning to do, but now is the time," she told her, she saw the Senator briefly nod before grabbing the Chairmans hat, she felt her about to stand up so she stood up and backed into Anakin, the burning in her temples was slowly fading away, eh probably dissociation or whatever from the cold

The senator picked up one of the spears "Gold droid, come with me," She told c-3p0, who didn't look happy to tag along, R4 pressed himself to Dee's leg, who in responce started to gently lean against him, 

"3p0, get going," Anakin told the droid 

"Yes, Master Ani," he responded, if it wasn't for the fact her brain was having impaired preformance from this bitching cold, she'd probably be laughing herself off at c-3p0 calling Anakin 'Ani'.

As Thi-Sen stepped forwards towards the Senator, this time she didn't feel the fear she did when the chair- no ex-chairman did the same, probably the fact that the Senator is most likely more educated she guessed, she briefly saw Thi-Sen eye her, clearly he still had a bone to pick with her over her sending some of his Talz ? his men ? she didn't want to assume they had no women soliders ? whatever back to what she was thinking, he probably still had a bone to pick with her over sending some of his soliders flying, she could say the same though.

Senator Chuchi lifted the spear into the air before slamming it into the ground, 

"To die for ones people if a great sacrifice," she said while placing the ex-chairman's hat onto the spear "to live for ones people is an even greater one," she continued looking him square in the eye "I choose to live for my people, what do you say ?" she finished, Dee looked over at the Talz while c-3p0 translated, she nearly flinched when Thi-Sen stabbed his own spear into the ground

"He chooses to live aswell," 3p0 translated, she smilled to herself underneath her ski mask-no, snow protection thingy- no, whatever her scarf just call if that, she smiled to herself underneath her scarf, the burning in the temples was finally receeded to a small thumping, but truth be honest, it was probably just her heard thumping from the whole action from earlier.

"We will leave Orto-Plutonia under the watchful eyes of the Talz, from this day forward and recognize your sovereignty as a free and equal people," the Senator finished, now that the horrible burning feeling of her temples and front two strands of hair was gone, Dee could finally focus and remembered her personal comlink number, she wanted to give it to the Senator, she wasn't sure why, she just wanted to.

"Well done Senator," Obi wan told her, Dee fished the comlink that had her private channel on it, yeah she cooked this up in 5 minutes, if the Senator wanted to she could place Dee's channel onto her own comlink but that was for her to decide 

"Yes, most impressive," Anakin told her before walking away himself

"Thank you Master Jedi," she thanked

"Now that you have created peace between your people and the Talz, remember one crucial thing," Obi wan began, Dee rolled her eyes at him probably trying to act mysterious 

"Yes master Jedi ?" she asked

"Make it last, Senator, and be an example to others not just this war but every war waged may come to an end," he finished

"I will," Senator Chuchi affirmed, Dee smiled holding out the hand held comlink device with her channel on it

"Incase you need to contact a friend" she told the Senator placing the comlink into her hand and stepping onto the ship with the Senator beside her, who smiled at her words.

Chapter Text

Obi wan had to admit, when he requested for a padawan he didn't ask for a replica of Anakin.

She got a bit overconfident at times, ignored orders at times and argued back but she was still rather young.

There was a lot of good things about Dee Sorin though, she was clever, Obi wan had admit she was pretty clever with her ideas, she was also fast, like really fast not only in lightsaber combat, but also in reaction time and speed.

But then again, she was a child her fourteenth birthday was in only eight days. Anakin became a padawan at 9 but he wasn't a military Commander of the GAR until he was 19. 

Obi wan tried to train Dee for battle whenever he could, he knew she hated the trainings but he saw progress, when she could only last 5 minutes at the start in a shooting drills she could now last 8 with a lightsaber... and 4 without one.

She made progress within a rotation but the progress wasn't as fast as he'd like it to be, you could clearly see she relied on others often during combat. 

Dee had good Force potential he can sense it but clearly, she can't see that herself that she has it to him, it looks like she doubts herself.

She was a padawan that Master Qui Gon would probably like to deal with, well if they didn't clash heads.

Dee clashed her own opinions against Obi wan often, she reminded him of Anakin so much yet she never got too mad at him like Anakin Skywalker once and still does.

Despite all that, he still wants to protect her seeing as for now, she still needs people to help protect her at times, so he would try and do just that.

He was often scared for her, when he got a comm from Anakin that she got Force Exhaustion he nearly fainted.

Yet when they came back, she acted like it never happened, he knew it happened, he felt pain, anger, fear then blankness through the Force.

Ahsoka, the little Togruta also had his heart, she was a sweet caring girl he often saw as she was brought into the temple the fact that shes been inside the temple longer then Anakin made him laugh.

Her and Dee were clearly the best of friends and he couldn't stop that, he saw himself as brothers with Anakin.

Anakin Skywalker had a lot of opinions about Dee Sorin. 

She was headstrong, cocky, overconfident and sometimes oblivious to the fact that theres a war raging throughout of galaxy.

Yet he still wanted to protect her from seeing all the cruelty the galaxy offered towards her, and towards Ahsoka.

They were both so young, Ahsoka was freshly turned 14 and from what Anakin could read of Dee file, she turned 14 in about 7 or 8 days.

He tried hard to protect them, yet they still had gotten caught sometimes, Bane, Grievous, Ventress people from the Separatists like that.

Dee was quick, far quicker then most padawans at her age, she was quick in the head and on her feet.

She was clearly faster then Ahsoka, well running wise, he'd say they were about the same intelligence level, Dee could probably just hold her tongue less.

After when Padme got caught on the Malevolence, Dee kept smirking at her, like she suspected them of being married or at least dating, she wouldn't be wrong he just didn't want to test her knowledge.  

Obi wan was clearly putting a good bit of effort into her training, he could never find out when they left for training but every time they arrived back, Dee was always extremely tired and sweaty, at times she could barely stand from being so tired.

The training worked as she was able to demolish training droids at the temple.

But clearly it sometimes didn't work, the time when Dee got Force Exhaustion he felt such fear as when his mother-... never mind.

Carrying her limp body had to he one of his worst experiences, it was terrifying, he felt blankness in the Force from her.

Ahsoka was miserable, she stayed by the girls side until he told her to change out of her EVA suit and as she left, Dee woke up and had her whole moment, but at least she woke up!

Ahsoka loved Dee, she was her best friend! 

At first in Master Yoda's quarters they didn't really know each other, Dee was younger then Ahsoka by a few rotations so she was in a different class. 

In the ship she found out how nice and funny Dee actually was, she was grateful for her and she knew it was the same way.

When she got knocked out by Bane she felt red- no she saw it, the only reason she didn't end him at the end of the fight was because he threatened to suck Dee into outer space, thats when she got shocked. 

However, Dee getting Force Exhaustion was more scary, imagine seeing your friend lay limp in your Masters arm.

Force she couldn't even sense her through the Force, when she woke up was when their Force bond replaced the never ending void where it should have been.

But she came back, she had to admit, Dee was tough kark, normally it takes about 2 days to fully heal a twisted ankle with a whole bacta tank Dee managed to somehow heal it within a few hours with a bacta patch, the Force and a dream. 

It's either she figured out how to heal it or she was acting until Wag Too helped then but by the way she was walking and running, she doubted that Dee was faking it also because Dee with no offence intended, sucked at acting.

She also stood up for her when Skyguy tried to not associate himself with her when they first met, it made her feel nice that someone who she just met cared for her.

Palpatine found Dee Sorin rather curious indeed, she had huge Force potential, similar to Skywalker, she could he a huge ally or a huge problem, so naturally he wrote out a tab.

[CONFIDENTIAL FILE - EYES ONLY]

Galactic Republic Office of the Supreme Chancellor

Encrypted File: DS-1138

Subject: Jedi Padawan Dee Sorin

Classification Level: MAXIMUM - For Chancellor's Review Only

Basic Identification

Name: Dee Sorin

Species: Human Homeworld: Eeth

• Current Status: Active Padawan - Jedi Order
• Master: Obi-Wan Kenobi
  Known Affiliations: Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Clone Commander Cody and Captain Rex
• Current Posting: Variable; front-line campaigns under Generals Kenobi and Skywalker

Summary of Observations

Padawan Sorin continues to demonstrate extraordinary growth in Force aptitude and lightsaber combat proficiency, surpassing expectations for a learner of her age, her offensive strategy leaves her for a potential ally.

She exhibits emotional volatility beneath her discipline, suggesting that while her loyalty to the Jedi Order remains strong, she may be receptive to subtle influence. Her attachment to Tano makes her predictable. Her trust in the Chancellor remains unknown.

Abilities Assessment

• No known abilities, only sensed raw Force power 

•  Seems to favour in taking the offensive instead of the defensive.

Psychological Profile

• Strengths: Courageous, intuitive, innovative in combat. Deep empathy toward allies.
• Possible Weaknesses: Impulsivity, pride, Personal Loyalty 

• Attachment Indicators: Exhibits protectiveness toward Tano. Responds favorably to praise, particularly from perceived authority figures.
  Personal Observation: Subject may be similar to Skywalker and may react in the same way towards paternal advice 

Private note : Could be very much like Skywalker who demands praise.

Strategic Potential

Recommendation:

Subject Sorin could serve as a candidate should Skywalker prove unstable. Her offensive style and power potential mirror his to a lesser degree, but her moral rigidity may limit manipulation through ambition. Alternate approaches-empathy, loss, guilt-may yield stronger results.

Should she survive the war, direct control may no longer be feasible; however, she may still be guided toward shaping a new Jedi ideology compatible with future plans.

Addendum - Recent Developments

• Not much known yet

• Skywalker seems to rather care for her as a sibling.

• Seen to he often ignoring Kenobi's orders to see her own.

(Handwritten annotation : Have not made contact with the subject, will try get closer with her in the future) 

Chancellor Palpatine has to be very careful about her, she seemed to be rather annoyingly clever, one wrong move and she could find out everything, then again, shes just a child.

Chapter Text

Contrary to her own popular belief, Dee did not have hypothermia and also did have all her toes and was not dealing with dissociation, infact she was so sparkling she was getting sent on another mission, 2 days after her, Skyguys and Smarty's return to Coruscant.

Landing the gunship, she could feel weird things upon Naboo, different to what her mum told her what ? twoish years ago, give or take, her mam told her Naboo was a gorgeous planet, more beautiful planet then Coruscant, that theres nothing wrong with it, 'it would make you think that it's Olympus itself', back then maybe, now it just felt like distrust.

"General Kenobi, Anakin we're so gla-" The guard was about to finish before Anakin cut him off

"Where's Senator Amidala ?" he asked, holy, excited much, Dee's mind wandered to when Anakin was hurt and thought that Dee was Senator Amidala when he woke up, she was still to question him about that.

"We went to go look for the lab," The guard answered

"And you let her ?" he asked, leave it to Skyguy to get over protective

"Skyguy I hate to break it to you, but Senator Amidala is a grown woman and is allowed to go look for whatever she wants to," she told him, crossing her arms over her crop top, Anakin whipped his head around at her, glaring, calm down buddy

"Master Anakin, I must add onto the Commander Dee Sorin's point, Senator Padme Amidala is very hard to stop once she's made up her mind," c-3p0 added on for her, what a nice droid how could people find him annoying ?

"Good point," Anakin finally answered, mostly to himself

"This is Peppi Bow, she was the last person to see them, Padme sent her here to safety," The guard continued, man she needed to learn his name

"Theysa looking for the sick maker," the pink Gungan told them, Dee stepped forwards

"What sick maker ? and they ?"she asked her

"Representative Binks was with her," The guard answered for her, she felt Anakin slightly groan behind her, what was wrong with Jar Jar ? Dee found him to be rather nice to her.

"Meesa can take yousa to the sick maker," Peppi told her, Dee nodded 

Okay then.

"Okay then, Tiny follow Peppi to the lab, snips stay with me and Anakin until we can find out more," Dee nodded at Anakins words, wondering why he made her go instead of his own respective Padawan, and why more importantly, Obi-Wan wasn't stopping him, whatever off topic she had a Senator and Representative to find,

As Dee walked out, she felt a jungle of worry knot in her stomach, which was weird because she never EVER felt like that, sure she felt worried sometimes, but never like this.

The ride with the Gungan was actually rather calming, she didn't mind it at all, soon she saw a huge yellow ship, clearly not belonging to Senator Amidala, if she had to guess, it was a Naboo Military ship,

"Theesa the ship belonging to them," Peppi told her, Dee nodded before sliding off to have a look around on foot, as she slipped off she scrapped her left palm on a rock, cutting through her glove, she just scoffed at the red blood glinting on her hand.

"Yousa okey ?" Peppi asked her, Dee smiled

"I'm fine Peppi, I just slipped, let's have a look around," she offered the Gungan who nodded before Dee realised something,

"Hey Peppi, do you know what way they went ?" She asked, the Gungan jumped off herself before she looked at two pairs of foot prints, one smaller, belonging to a woman, probably similar to Dee's own footsize, and the other footprints looked similar to Peppi's just bigger, she continued looking at then until they.... ended ?

"Their tracks end.. here," she said before she looked over at Peppi, who was balancing on a- scope, they have found where the Senator Amidala and Jar Jar went missing.

"Peppi, it's a scope," she started while moving around so that the camera wouldn't eye her "Don't let it see you," she told the Gungan before stabling her on the scope and jumping with her behind the large tree trunk, Peppi let out a yelp, but arguably, a yelp was better then being spotted this early, luckily the scope went away, Dee let out a sigh she didn't know she was holding.

Anakin was irritated and nervous, sure he was a bit mad at Dee for humbling him earlier, but he was nervous, so was Ahsoka, it was late and neither Dee, Peppi, Padme or Jar Jar had returned, he hissed in impatience.

"Where are they ?" he asked Obi wan or Ahsoka, whoever answered 

"Patience, they'll probably be here in no time," Obi wan answered, but he could sense Obi wan's worry for the brown haired padawan.

"Why are you so on edge master ?" Ahsoka asked him

"Because snips, theres a chance we might accidentally destroy all life on this planet, including ours, the Senator's and Dee's," he answered, while Obi wans comlink flashed- Dee.

"Master are you there ?" he heard Dee's voice ask as Obi wan answered "Yes I'm here, whats going on why are you-" he was about to ask her something but Anakin asked first

"Did you find her ?" Anakin asked rushing himself over to the comm

"no, if I had my best guess she and Representative Binks are inside the lab," she answered, she sounded smug through the comm, he wondered what that was about "The whole area is coated in pressure sensors, I don't think theres a way to get in without getting detected, which is why I'm planning-" she was about to finish her sentence when Obi wan cut her off

"Do not attempt to get inside the lab," he told her, Anakin could feel Dee rolling her eyes

"I'm not attempting, I'm doing it, I'm literally preparing to jump onto a motion sensor," she answered back, and he could hear her standing up and shuffling a bit.

"Dee don't, I need you to detonate a bunker bomb at the south end of the facility, it should cause a nice distraction and seal off the bomb area while we come in through the hatches" Obi wan told her sending the map to her. 

"Really master, letting you have all the fun ? my plan was good as well," Dee scoffed, as Anakin could see Dee's body again, he could see her getting ready to jump into something

"I'm sure it was, now get going," Obi wan told her

"You can count on me," she mumbled, clearly disappointed 

"Rex and his men will be right behind you tiny," he told her, he could see her neck move in a slight nodding move before her line went cold, Anakin had to admit, even he wasn't that confident as a padawan.

So this was really boring, the ride to the south end was decent but everything else was boring, she carefully send a bomb flying with the Force, she had to pull it back before the scope caught it, the cut on her left palm was bleeding hard, well not hard hard, but a decent amount of blood was flowing through, her glove was now red under a certain light but still she had a mission to finish.

After three sensors popped up she dropped the bomb, making it expload, at first the sound of bombs exploading made her ears ring, now it made the ring slightly less, hey baby steps!

She heard the whooshing of gunships above her, looks like they finally arrived.

"Meesa come too ?" Peppi asked, Dee clenched her jaw, she wanted Peppi to come but she couldn't let her too.

"No, stay here and make sure nobody escapes or leaves the lab," she told her, Dee didn't hear what Peppi replied with as she had to begin running she ignited her lightsaber making a hiss of bright white light and jumped into the bunker lab.

As soon as she and the other clones landed the blasting began, luckily for the droids, Dee had little area to do her usual flips and stuff to dodge the blasts, unluckily for Dee, she had litttle area to do her usual flips, she was actually crouched and reflecting the blasts right back at the tincans, she heard more explosions and felt the ground bunker shaking.

The droids were starting to swarm, right no time for defence, she rushed up slicing a few of the superdroids and some of the classic b1's, this was easy, the clones were behind her blasting at the droids and Dee was helping them, she heard rolling- droidekas- SHIT.

Now see Dee had very little to no idea on how to take these guys down the sides a voice from her gut told her, the sides ? okay worth a shot, she ran up and tried to stab the side anddddd... failed.

"FALL BACK!" She told the men behind her, she recognised a few similar Force signatures, Rex, Fives, Echo, etc, most of the gang that helped rescue skyguy were here, cute.

Thankfully they followed her orders without question, actually no wait she had to try again, she saw the droidekas curl up again, perfect "NO WAIT FORWARD C'MON" she yelled charging towards the clanker.

Luckily it slice it half and the men shot the other one down, one to go, she saw the walls fall forwards, infront of her was her master Obi wan Kenobi and Commander Cody.

"Need some help padawan mine ?" he asked her

"Nah, me, Rex and the boys could've handled it," she answered, Obi wan rolled his eyes, she heard a lot of rumbling in the distance and blaster shots "I'll guess thats skyguy and Ahsoka ?" she asked, Obi wan nodded before starting to run, she followed

"Things are going well, hopefully Anakin and Ahsoka have rescued Senator Amidala and Representative Binks by now," Obi wan told her, the blasts for earlier made her think it was a 50-50 chance.

There was few battle droids now, clearly most were destroyed in the main 3 well if she had to guess it would be 3, sided attacks, which was good, this mission was soon to be other with,

"I'll get the bomb," he told her running off

"Fine then I'll keep the tincans focus on me!" she yelled back as he ran away

She was glad she actually wasn't going to get the bomb herself, that would be cheeks to be honest, and to be even more honest, she didn't know how to disable a bomb.

She heard Anakins voice on her comm, she lifted it to her mouth 

"Dee, we've got another situation, send all the clones to search the facility," Anakin was telling her as she ran into him and Ahsoka

"Skyguy, Ahsoka ?" she raised an eyebrow 

"We've got a missing bomb and a trigger mad happy doctor on the loose," he finished

"You and Ahsoka deal with your mad happy doctor, leave the bomb to me and the boys," she told him 

"Missing bomb ? I saw Dr Vindi give a little droid a bomb," Senator Amidala cut in, Dee's mind thought fast

"Then could the Senator and Representative come with me ?" she asked 

"N-" Anakin was about to answer before Senator Amidala cut him off "Yes, let's go Jar Jar," she told her 

"But Padme-" Anakin started 

"Anakin I need to find this bomb! let's go Dee," Dee didn't question how the Senator knew her name, she just nodded

"Okay guys split up and let's find that bomb," she told her clones, she felt a flicker of irritation come from Anakin and it was directed- to her ouch whatever, it's fine, she had better things to deal with right now.

Dee went with the clones, it wasn't long until Senator Amidala rang her com channel,

"Dee, I've found the last bomb," she could sense fear in the Senators voice,

"I'm sending the bomb squad to your location!" she answered, this would finally be over soon, her palm was stinging bad it was probably an infection or something.

"Deactivated, plenty of time to spare," Dee let out a breathe of relief at the clones words, thank the Force 

"Dee are you there ?" Obi wans voice asked her

"I'm here master, the bomb was deactivated, it's all safe," she answered 

"Good work my padawan"

"Have you seen Padme," Anakin, ever the subtle one eh Skyguy

"She's right beside me,"

Chapter Text

"That was close, if that virus had escaped, everyone on Naboo would be dead right now," Anakin told Obi wan and Ahsoka, Padme was still down in the lab with Dee

"Oh well, just another boring day saving the universe," Obi wan answered sarcastically, Anakin didn't remember him being this sarcastic with him, maybe he was and he blocked it out of his memory

"Alright Masters, let's take this sleemo to Theed so we can help Dee and Senator Amidala clean up down there !" Ahsoka said bright behind them 

Holy this was cheeks, Dee wished to be in Ahsoka's place right now, but she wasn't she was infact, cleaning this freaky deaky lab- bunker- thing... whatever call it a lab.

The alarm was sounded behind her, what was going on ?

"Senator whats going on ?" she asked, confused

"One of the virus chambers is missing, the virus is still down here with a droid," the Senator answered the virus is still down here with a droid, KARK!

"everyone split up! we need to find that virus!" she told them

"The virus is liberated, ha ha, you are doomed young Jedi, along with the rest of the planet!" Okay, Anakin knew this guy was insane but what was mad happy doc here chatting about ?

There was a shaking underneath the ground, what is going on, he rang Dee's com, she didn't answer.

Dee was scared shitless, but she had to act like she wasn't, she had to get Ana- no, these were her men now, she was their higher up.

"Get to the saferoom now!" she told them, pointing to a room, they were fast, but the virus was faster, it was also getting redirected, she felt the blue fumes of toxin approaching, she ignored the beeping and flashing light from her com, she had another bigger problem to deal with,

"There's the safe room !" one of the men yelled 

"There's no chance! the door is closing!" Another one added, oh but there is, and if there isn't, she'll make a chance,

"There is," she said quickly before grabbing into the Force, propping the door open and trying to built a wall "Get inside the saferoom quick!" she told them, for now this was like a dam, but like a good few dam's, it was going to start leaking.

Luckily the men listened to her except for Captain Rex, ugh she needed him inside if she herself wanted to make it.

"Get inside captain I've got this," she told him, she infact probably didn't got this but it was worth a shot, once the captain was inside she let the Virus leak through her dam before making is collapse, screw it, she also let go of the door, the men propped it with guns and were trying to hold it open, she quickly accelerated and jumped through the door, she was safe, all she needed was for someone to figure a way out of here without killing all life on Naboo.

Finally once she was inside the safe room she answered her com, Anakins voice rang through,

"Dee what is going on down there ?" he asked her, she took a deep breath 

"One of the droid put a secret vial in a bomb, we managed to seal the lab," she spoke quickly, ignoring the breathless air in her lungs and the stinging on her hand,

"And Padme ?" Anakin asked, all Dee wanted to do was yell about how selfish he was, she didn't know what he was selfish about, but he was selfish, she was going to acuse him of selfishness

"Haven't heard from her since the bomb," she answered, trying to hide the anger crawling up her throat, she nearly scoffed when he sighed

"Anakin are you there, Anakin come in," the Senators voice came in which sounded like it was in a bubble, she was wearing a protective suit or an EVA suit thank the Force.

"Padme, I'm here, are you alright ?" Anakins voice asked, Dee just sat down as the conversation happened 

"Yes for the time being, me and Jar Jar were in a safety chamber while the bomb went off, we're wearing protective suits," she answered oh thank the Force 

"The Virus is loose but Dee has sealed off the entire facility," Anakins voice spoke again, she heard a sound of fear from behind him, probably Ahsoka, thank the Force it is me trapped in here not Ahsoka she thought to herself.

"Yes but any remaining droids will try to break out, I'll do what I can to stop them, I cannot let that virus escape!" Padmes voice said again, Dee had to do something as well, but she couldn't risk her mens lives.

"Be careful," Anakin answered to her, nice to know he cared about her too, she scoffed to herself before making her line go cold, she felt a gross urge to cough and her palm was stinging more then ever, this wasn't good, she had to find a needle to sew her glove shut to prevent it from further infection.

Both Jedi Master's had their lightsabers pointed at Vindi, Ahsoka felt guilt eating at her that Dee was down there, she felt even more guilt for feeling glad that she herself wasn't down there.

"Where's the antidote Vindi ?" Master Skywalker asked 

"You mistake my role Jedi, my job was to manifacture a plague not cure it," he answered, Obi wan had a dark look in his eyes

"We're not going to ask you again," He told the doctor 

"We don't have time for games," Skyguy snarled 

"I said where," Skyguy continued pressing his lightsaber further near his throat

"Yes, kill me now and spare these old bones the blue shadow's dire embrace because once the first droid breaks out of the laboratory all Naboo is doomed!" Obi wan had a dark look of grimness in his eyes before he said his next works

"Anakin, I hate to say it but the best way to find an antidote is to get Vindi back to the capital and find an actual antidote,"  

Anakin extinguished his lightsaber and clipped it dramatically onto his belt, Ahsoka was going to look through her datapack for anything.

"Oh no no no, some of the virus got in here, we didn't close the door fast enough" the clone looking over everything told them, Dee had just finished sewing her glove roughly shut, it was done, well, roughly but it worked.

"We may be dead men but we can still stop those droids," Rex told her, Dee highly believed that Obi wan, Ahsoka and Anakin would find a cure for this, or she atleast hoped so 

"Don't worry, Obi wan, Ahsoka and Anakin will find a cure, we won't die today," she told them confidently "Hello, is anyone out there ?" A voice asked on her com Senator Amidala 

"Senator Amidala, we're stuck in a saferoom at the end of complex 'B', we're contaminated," She answered grimly 

"We'll be right there," the Senator answered, she sounded sad, why would she be sad, Dee knew what she was signing herself up when Yoda asked her if she wanted to be Obi wan's padawan ?

"Alright boys, try pressurize your helmets, we're going to have to go into the lab," the told them, holding back a cough herself,

Those five minutes felt like how Percy Jackson described Tartarus, hell, it probably was Tartarus, she finally braved enough to lift the comlink up her mouth and ask

"Senator Amidala are you there ?"

"We're right outside your saferoom," the Senator answered 

"Can you-" she paused for a moment, this cough was not going to get the better of her "-get the door open ?" she finished asking, the Senator didn't answer, infact her line went cold, she was probably opening it, the door behind her opened and the blue virus swirled inside, curling around her ankles, the Senator and Gungan stepped in, wearing protective suits, the Senator walked up and placed a hand on her shoulder, she looked sad.

"I'm sorry Dee," she apologised but she shouldn't be apologising, if Dee was more competent and sensed the bomb somehow, this wouldn't be happening

"It's okay Senator, don't worry about us, we still had a job to do, from what I know and remember, theres only a few droids left" she answered, and Padme nodded

"We saw some going towards the south end of the facility," she answered

"For however long we'll be able to, we'll help you destroy those droids before they get to the compound," Dee answered hopefully we'll be able to last long she thought her own merry jolly thoughts to herself.

"You take the North corridor and we'll take the South," Padme answered, her voice was almost breaking, she wasn't going to press though.

Padme felt miserable for Dee, the poor child didn't even seem aware of how little a chance they had for survival, the girl was at most fourteen, if she even was fourteen, she also didn't want the girl to continue calling her 'Senator' for some reason it felt mocking, 

"The droids are close, I can hear them cutting through a wall," she told the clones and Jar Jar, they started blasting the droids down quickly, this reminded her of Naboo- exactly ten years ago- ten years ago she was fourteen and queen of Naboo, just like how Dee is a Commander of the GAR at thirteen or fourteen- oh how cruel the world has turned.

One of the droids was going to open a hatching, luckily Dee quickly jumped up and sliced it inhalf, she looked like she was trying not to breathe hard.

They had an antidote, all they needed was to get it now, Ahsoka wasn't helping them fly the ship, instead she was biting her nails harshly, he would beg her to stop but now he had another mission to finish save Padme.

"There it is, Iego," Obi wan told them 

"What do you make of this ?" he asked recognising some of the ship parts, a 66bby hyperdrive- force thats old, 45bby oxygen generator- 

"A ship graveyard," Obi wan answered simply, he was very distant, he wondered why for a moment before his mind flashed to a thirteen year old girl Dee, oh FORCE he was so worried over Padme, he completely forgot about how Dee was also down there, he felt guilt for forgetting and more guilt for not even asking her if shes okay..

They landed onto a landing platform, he saw about a thousand droids infront of him, oh this was it.

"Let's go," he said quickly before he rushed off "not good" he murmered to himself before running up to start slicing through the b1s.

After about a hot minute, he wondered why they weren't blasting at him already, the looked up and saw these were all random parts of droids and they kept saying 'welcome to Iego'

"Well master, you just destroyed 17 defenseless tinnies" Ahsoka said from beside Obi wan who dryly added "without a scratch," while one final one fell 

"eighteen actually," he answered, rubbing the back of his head,

"The venerable Jaybo Hood requests an audience," one of the droids told them, the three looked at eachother and simultainiously asked "Jaybo ?"

"Hey do you guys have any idea on how long it took to reprogram all of those droids ?" a small child smaller then Dee asked

"You're Jaybo ?" Obi wan asked 

"Well do you ?" the child pressed 

"I'm sorry for my friends rash behaviour," Ahsoka started, shooting Anakin a look 

"Nine months man, nine months," the child continued, ignoring Ahsoka before jumping into... his hammock ?

He clapped his hands a few times and- oh look it, the droids were actually reprogramed to do what he wants, Anakin had to ask his question 

"How did a kid like you come across so many battle droids ?"

"Simple, when the Separatists took off, they left all this junk behind, I got a whole warehouse full of them right over there," Jaybo answered coolly

"So you programed them all to server you ?" Obi wan asked

"No reasons to let a good droid rust right ?" he asked, Anakin looked over at Ahsoka who was hanging out with Dee's own droid R4, Anakin looked thoroughly at the droids and smirked to himself before stating his own words

"Looks like you used a Macro protocal to wipe them all simultaineously, impressive," he told Jaybo 

"I see you know your droids, you're a Jedi aren't you ? wanna see how I did it ?" Jaybo asked, before Anakin asked Obi wan asked, he was clearly impatient

"Perhaps another time, right now what we need is Reeksa Root, do you know where we can find it?" 

"Here there, everywhere," Jaybo answered, Ahsoka rolled her eyes before saying

"We don't really have time for games, do you know where it is ? we're in a bit of a hurry," she asked, Anakin tensed up as the kid laughed

"Not anymore you're not," the kid answered, how could he physically dare to do that ? Padme had a protective suit on so she was fine for the most bit, the clones could most likely pressurize their helmets, but Dee ? Dee Sorin was fully exposed to the Blue Shadow Virus.

"Look you little-" he started but got cut off

"This system is haunted, cursed, whatever, anyway, Jedi or not, nobody gets off this hunk of rock, not past Droll" Jaybo Hood answered, at the work Droll some of the droids squealed in fear 

"Droll ?" Obi wan repeated

"Yeah Droll, the phantom ruler of Iego, he destroys anything that leaves the planet,"

"Well we need to get off with the Reeksa Root in hand, the longer we take the closer my friend is to death!" Ahsoka exclaimed, this shook Jaybo up 

This fucking shit was going cheeks in Dee's opinion. She kept coughing and her arm which was originally stinging has gone nearly numb, which isn't giving her a lot of hope. 

Now came the droidekas, Dee ignited her lightsaber and began charging at them, she stabbed the one on the left first before going to the right one she ran at it, trying to stab it, but instead she fell with a yelp, she heard Jar Jar fall back as the second one fell, but so did the Senator.

"Senator Amidala !" she yelled, standing right back up, swaying lightly on her feet before rushing towards the Senator's side.

"Senator, your suit's been compromised," Rex told her, KRIFF this was all Dee's fault, if she wasn't such a stupid, slow, useless Jedi maybe the Senator wouldn't be on her cosy death bed.

"I'm so sorry," she told the Senator quietly

"Do not blame yourself Dee, these things happen in war zones,"

After Ahsoka's motivational speech to Jaybo, they were now climbing into a deep dark pit, yay lucky them. 

Her master and Obi wan were butting heads more often, but she was more annoyed at her own master. He seemed to only care about Senator Amidala, ignoring the fact that her best friend, that Master Obi wans padawan was down there without a suit like the Senator or atleast karking clone armor.

"Are you coming ?" she asked Jaybo

"You've gotta be kidding, no way I'm going down there,"

"Are you trying to tell us something ?" Obi wan asked, Obi wan has gotten iritable, for a fair point though, Ahsoka was also ticked and worried.

"Don't worry, it's simple, Follow the vine to the bottom dig up the roots, but don't touch the vine," he answered, oh great so theres like a suicide plant down there waiting for them. Huh Ahsoka was starting to sound like Dee 'Suicide plant' she would've laughed if Dee had said it, she could imagine her saying it... which meant she had to be saved so she could say it.

"Aside from the obvious, why not ?" Skyguy asked, huh, first thing she heard him say since they started climbing down, she gritted her teeth at his words and she began her descent down.

"Because the plants don't like it and they have big sharp teeth," teeth ? oh great

"Teeth, oh boy this is going to be fun," she said to herself

This kark was actually getting better, despite the Senator getting her suit thundercunted off, it was actually getting better, most of the droids were getting rounded up, she heard a loud thing of buzzing and her head snapped up.

"Commander ?" one of the clones asked her looking at her unnervingly, she didn't regard him and rushed towards the sound, she was nearly wheezing when she arrived where the droids were, she jumped up with all her might and slammed her lightsaber into the first droid, then into the second one.

As she fell down from her jump the Senator and rest of the clones caught up. A wet, hackling cough arose from her throat, it felt like she was going to throw up, she could feel liquid pooling up to her mouth. She literally couldn't stand, she fell on all fours and continued coughing so harshly she felt like her lungs where going to jump out of her mouth, she briefly heard the Senator run over to her and place a hand on her shoulder, she shuddered as she felt it, but continued letting the coughs out of her throat.

Senator Padme Amidala was a queen at the age of 14 she knew what it was like to have a lot of responisibilities at that age. But seeing a girl lay on all fours coughing so violently trying to protect her made her feel sick to her stomach. Her heart ached towards the young padawan, she's only been exposed to the fumes for a few minutes, Dee's been exposed to them the whole time so have the clones.

Padme wished that Anakin would hurry, she was worried not only for her safety, she knew she could continue going on for a bit, but she was worried for Dee, she was scared that the young girl's immune system wouldn't be able to keep up long enough for this.

"Let's go Dee," She told the girl as she looked up at her girls pale face. It had blue streaks all across it, she had deep circles underneath her eyes, but what worried her the most was that there was blood in the corners of her mouth, she looked down at the ground and she saw more blood. Dee Sorin had coughed up her own blood.

Anakin could laugh to himself about how this mission has gone so far, except for the fact that his wife was down in a nuclear cellar near death that is. Droll was thankfully a Separatist trick to these people so he wasn't all the shit they assumed he would be, not that they assumed he would be any. They have now landed a ship, a transmission was coming through, it must be his wife !

"Master, can you hear me ?" A voice asked, it was the voice of Dee Sorin.

"R4 AMPLIFY THE SIGNAL," Obi wan yelled at Dee's droid, who beeped and did as he was asked, Ahsoka gasped. When Anakin saw Dee, it wasn't what he expected her to look like.

She looked like she spend 20 years locked in a cellar, her veins were visable, there were deep dark circles underneath here eyes, she had blood on her shirt and even more blood around her mouth, it seemed like Padme was the only thing holding her upright.

"We destroyed all the battle droids inside the compound, Naboo is safe from contamination, I repeat, Naboo is safe-" she started coughing violently into her gloved hand, her left palm looked awfully swollen, it swung limply at her side, both her gloves were soaked in blood.

"Promise me that no one will ever open this bunker, goodbye Anakin," Padme told him, holding the girl upright, Dee looked like she wanted to smile but she couldn't there was only a ghost of a smile on her face.

"No!" Anakin yelled as the line went cold.

Dee was shaking from the cold, it wasn't even fucking cold, it was so warm at the start. Dee accepted her fate, she was going to die, there was only one thing left for her to do, accept it.

But she couldn't, accepting her own death was like accepting failure, that she couldn't do it. She had to make it, she always made it, she didn't want her have her own shit rocked by some virus. She only felt bad for her master, if her padawan died she'd feel miserable, she also felt bad for Ahsoka but she didn't feel that bad, she prefered that Ahsoka was going to live and she was going to die, Anakin clearly didn't care for her, wait ew that makes her sound like an opressed victorian child when informed it was had an incurable disease, she probably did have an incurable disease- whatever.

She's been laying miserably on the ground for approximately 20 minutes, for all she could guess, she didn't know how to tell time. Right now she knew that she was playing a game from Eeth they'd call chess.

"I DON'T GET IT ! YOU SAID THE KING IS THE MOST POWERFUL PIECE ON THE BOARD, SO I USED TO THE QUEEN TO SAVE IT, How do I have the most powerful piece and still loose ?" A nine year old Dee Sorin asked her father as they started a new game and she moved her first 

"Because my little starlight, the king might be the most powerful piece, but the queen is the most usefull, the smartest piece, do you get it ?" Her father answered moving his bishop out.

"I don't get it," she whined back moving another piece forwards, her father sighed then moved his queen outside the pawns

"The king can go in any direction, only go one step at a time, but the Queen can go in whatever direction, therefor making her the most powerful piece," he answered patiently, Dee huffed and made another move.

"But you told me you can sacrifice the Queen and the game can go on ?" she asked again, her dad locked his eyes with her own.

"Think of the the King as a General and the Queen as a Commander, the General can make most decisions but he'll need a Commander to protect his side, the Commander can get away with most moves, you can sacrifice the Commander but only at the end of war, the game can go on without a Commander, but it won't go on well, that's the beginning of the end" he answered, Dee raised her eyebrows slightly, her small mind thinking quickly

"So if you lose the Queen it's the same thing as losing the game ?" she asked 

"Exactly, losing the king is losing the game, but if you lose the Queen it's the beginning of losing to the end."

Why her jolly mind decided to think of that she didn't know, but she didn't remember the talk about chess being so depressing but whatever, that's just cracking, she wondered why she thought of that but it sparked another thought.

"Mammy ! they were talking about sum Separatist Alliance in school !" a now 13 year old Dee Sorin was speaking, she remembered this clearly, this was before her granny and grandpa were bombed by the Separatists, a month before she was inducted into the order, three months before she was Obi Wan's Padawan.

Her mum went pale, "Who told you that ?" she asked her daughter gently

"Everyone was talking about it ?" she answered raising her eyebrow

"Honey, we need to discuss something," Her mum yelled for Dee's father,

"Why whats going on ?" her dad asked strolling in, he too, looked confused.

"They've started talking about the Separatist Alliance," Her mother answerered, 

"Okay Dee, you need to understand this, the Republic doesn't know this yet but this has happened, there is this so called 'alliance' inducting other planets into it, ran by- well we don't know," her dad answered

"Why don't you know ? Hell if the Republic doesn't know why do we know ?" she asked 

"Because, they tried inducting Eeth into the Alliance, thats why we joined the Republic, it looks like they're starting with planets in the outer to middle rim" her mum answered.

"So what if they- the Republic do find out about the Alliance ?" Dee asked further on

"It'll be a long game of chess my starlight, except- remember when we watched that How To Train Your Dragon series Race to the Edge ?" her dad asked, Dee raised her eyebrow but nodded

"Remember their own version of Chess, 'Maces and Talons'  remember the pieces ?" he further asked, her mother sighed

"Yeah, the hunters, the kings, the longships, the kingships, dragon, accomplice and- traitor.."  she thought about the traitor

"There's a traitor amongst the Republic-" her dad started but her mother cut him off "Listen Tohn, there is no traitor in the Republic, maces and talons is a fantasy game," she said, striding out of the room, her dad knelt down beside her

"Maybe, but remember, the traitor-"

"-dies in the end," She muttered to herself she didn't know where these memories were coming from but they seemed to be keeping her conscious.

"Níl aon mhuinín agam sna Jedi, ceapaim gur cladhairí iad a fhuadaíonn páistí agus iad ina gcodladh." her friend Shri'ya spoke to her, a now eleven year old Dee Sorin raised her eyebrows on how a conversation suddenly shifted towards being a Jedi 

("I don't have any trust in the Jedi, I think they are cowards who kidnap children in their sleep")

"Cad atá le déanamh seo le rud ar bith?" Dee asked her friend, who looked a bit shellshocked at her question

("What does this have to do with anything ?") 

"Níl a fhios agam, bhraith mé gur mhaith liom é a rá" Her friend answered

("I-I don't know, I just felt like saying it")

"Mar sin níl aon chúis agat ach fuath a bheith agat do na Jedi ?" Dee scolded the girl slightly who in responce laughed, Dee felt a bit shocked at the action from her.

("So you just hate the Jedi for no reason ?")

"A Dee, tá tú cosúil le máthair ag cáineadh mé, ní fuath liom na Jedi, ní aithním iad go fírinneach, go háirithe an chomhairle, níl aithne phearsanta againn orthu fiú." her friend answered through giggles

("Dee you're like a mother scolding me, I don't hate the Jedi, I just don't truth them especially the council, we don't even know them personally")

"Ní mise do mháthair" Dee snipped back before giggling herself

("I'm not your mother")

All she wanted right now was so go to Eeth, even if it meant speaking i'sh, she misses it so much, especially now, all she wanted was to run through a field with Ayné in the sunny weather or go ride a horse on a beach with Soleah, go and make jokes with Ewa about Robi having ginger hair or hang out with Ela watching movies, hug her mum, have her dad give her uppies, however fucking childish it sounded, she wanted to not be treated like a commander or a Jedi, she wanted to be treated as a young sister or child.

And with that sad final thought, she drifted into restless sleep, more memories targetting her.

Anakin rushed over to Padme's stretcher, she wasn't even looking that bad as she did in the holo, Dee probably looked better then she looked aswell. After a few exchanged words it was time for Padme to be lifted into the ship.

"MAKE WAY ! MAKE WAY !" The medical clones were yelling, shoving whoever out of the way, wait what ? a stretcher was moving past him, he almost didn't recognise the person on it, they were deathly pale with blue lines all over their body, if she wasn't wearing the outfit she was, Anakin wouldn't recognise her, this was Dee Sorin.

Her outfit was stained with blood, you could see fresh tears on her cheeks, she looked so.. sad, She looked like she was about to die.

"Get her on that medical ship now," Obi wan commanded

Chapter Text

The Republic was already mourning Dee, Ahsoka hated that, Ahsoka knew that Dee had more fight in her, she was tough kark, to Ahsoka she was unbreakable.

Yet seeing her friend on that stretcher shattered her, it hurt her so much, she looked so sad, she researched some of the ways of Eeth people, she didn't do it a lot but if Dee did- no- she wouldn't but if she did, she wanted her to have a proper goodbye if she did. 

Dee had many vistors over the past few days but today came in seven girls, one she recognised as the Senator from Eeth, Soleah Sa’Lennice and the other clearly her hand maiden Ayné Buranis, then a really tall girl, a curly haired girl and another girl who was sobbing.

"Doddy," the one with curly hair whispered to Dee's side 'Doddy ?' Ahsoka wondered to herself.

"Guy's you don't get it, Dee wouldn't appreciate this, if she's a ghost right now she's probably pissing herself laughing at us mopping over her body," the tall one told them, the Senator gave her a vicious look

"Well, Dee was my childhood friend, I know her better then ever and if she died, she'd want be to die along side her," the Senator said while her handmaiden slapped her side lightly, looking at their outfits, Ahsoka realised these were all handmaidens, the girl who was at first sobbing came up to Ahsoka.

"Sorry for how the Senator is acting, her and Dee have known eachother a long time, they basically grew up along side eachother, my names Ela," the girl told her

"My names Ahsoka," Ahsoka answered, swallowing the lump in her throat

"Thats Ewa," she said pointing to the tall one "Robi," to the curly haired one who said 'Doddy' "Ayné" to the girl with brown hair and blue eyes she was really pretty "and the Senator" she said finally to the tallest girl, who had long blonde hair and blue eyes, the opposite of Dee.

"We'd always call them the opposites, mainly because Dee was short as fuck," Ewa told her "Anyways guys, the beloved Senator had a meeting to attend to," Ewa added they all walked out, Ayné brushed her hand alongside Dee's before walking out.

Huh what a weird gesture, maybe it was some old Eethian tradition ? anyways, now it was time for Ahsoka to train in the temple.

Seven whole hours after Ahsoka left, Anakin entered the room, Obi wan didn't visit her today, he didn't blame him, looking at Dee in this state made him feel... disgusted ? Not at her in any way, this isn't her fault but in the way how they could've avoided this.

She's been asleep for 5 days, tomorrow at 0824, Dee will be fourteen, he only knew this from checking her file and it said her exact birthday.

The last time all three of them visited her, she.. she had her arm.. the virus infected her arm instead of her brain mostly, so up to her elbow had to get cut off,

Anakin was never more glad Ahsoka wasn't in the room when Dee had her arm cut off. 

He and Obi wan could barely stand it, having to hold down a 13 year old child while waiting for the machine to come down and remove it was terrifying. 

What was even more terrifying was the gut wretching  scream she let out once it was happening.  Not only could you hear it but you could feel it in the Force. 

She was 'awake' for a total of 10 seconds before she passed again, and she wasn't even awake, according to the medic it was a shock response, her whole body jerking up to try see what was happening but she couldn't. 

He wanted to hug her so badly when she woke up for those 10 seconds, but he knew he couldn't nor could Obi wan, it would probably scare her out of her whits even more. 

Dee was having an ass time, she kept travelling through dimensions and battling sith, she knew this wasn't real but if her unconscious mind didn't live from this, she wouldn't either 

The strongest and most painful was a hunched figure, electricuting her everytime she got close, it brought so much pain, everytime she got shocked, she saw something new, something with more pain then the lightning could bring to her body, visions of Ahsoka leaving, death, pain, suffering and the Temple burning.

What made this worse is that some lady told something that sounded horribly like a prophecy.

Two days you've been unconscious here"

 you must learn of a future you may despise

"After you learn of it, you have a choice

"what is my choice ?"

Live"

or

"Die

Which in her own sparkling opinion, the great choice was living,

"You do not like the future ?" She told her 

"How would you know ?" She asked ? so far the snippets she's seen, the shadows she's fought, would put her in a coma which wouldn't work because she's in one.

"I've seen you see look at it a thousand times before," She answered simply

"How ? what ?"

"This place moves beyond time and space," and with that she disappeared, just like the last twenty five times she did that, add that to the tally.

Then her vision shifted to another one, a blonde woman laying on the floor with Obi wan cradling her, she looked important, yet sad, so did her master.

Ahsoka walking away from the Temple, Dee wanted to run but her feet were getting sucked into the concrete.

Then the worst of all happened, a vision so scary she thought of a childhood tale her mother would tell her before bed 

"Anakin please, the Jedi did nothing to you!" her future self pleaded

"LIAR, YOU ALWAYS LIE DEE SORIN"

The voice of Anakin Skywalker yelled at her, why was he yelling at her ?r 

"ANAKIN I AM NOT YOUR-" she didn't even get a chance to finish her sentence as a tight hand closed around her throat and she was getting pulled forwards.

She saw flashes, Obi wan crying, Ahsoka fighting someone with a double sided lightsaber, she saw Anakin getting burnt then turned into a black monster, she felt pain and suffering.

Finally, the flashes ended, settling on a hunched over which was zooming in fast

"The game is on Dee Sorin" said a hackling voice.

Once Dee stepped out of her meditative state, she saw the Force Damned green haired lady.

"So, care to tell me about why the future sucks ?" she asked 

"yourself from yesterday thought so the same," the woman answered, Dee huffed in annoyance

"Yeah, that doesn't change the fact that Anakin is going to lose his ever loving shit," she scoffed back, the woman looked at her fondly 

"I think it's time you wake up Dee Sorin,"

"w-wait will I remember this ?" she asked, like she HIGHKEY needed this memory if she didn't want Anakin to you know- KRIFFING FORCE CHOKE HER.

"All in due time," she answered before it all went blank.

0823, Anakin looked at the clock miserably, in about one minute Dee was going to turn 14, and she couldn't even celebrate it, in about one minute dawn was going to break.

"I'm so sorry tiny," he whispered quietly to the padawan, resting his hand on her brown hair.

Slowly, in the Force he felt a presence grow, slowly, almost teasingly slowly it grew, then Dee's heart monitor start speeding up, was she ?

"Dee please wake up please wake up," he whispered, now holding her right hand gently, her non robot hand.

The heart beats got fasted, he swore he felt a gentle grip back at his hand after he said that. 

0824 was shown on the clock, 0824 was when Dee Sorin started coughing and gasping,

0825 was when Dee Sorin sat up and her coughs started slowing down.

0826 was when her coughs were nearly gone.

0827 was when they completely stopped.

0828 and 0829 was when she started into nothing.

0830 was when she latched herself onto Anakin's shoulders, gripping onto him with such strength he didn't think someone who looked dead prior could have. 

0831 was when Anakin Skywalker knew it was going to be alright.

But Dee Sorin knew something wrong had happened, she felt cold in her lower left arm and that something in her body and memory were missing, the question was what ?

Chapter Text

"I still think I should lead the airstrike team," Dee Sorin told her master bouncing up beside him, her braid that wasn't in her slickback was swinging about, her master looked down at her tiredly like they had this conversation atleast ten times, they did.

"Dee you're lucky to be going on this mission, three weeks ago you woke up from nearly getting killed by a virus," Obi Wan answered back

"Put more emphasis on the 'nearly' master, I'm alive arent I ?" she asked which he laughed at, ever since Dee woke up she'd actually been in a better more joyful mood then before.

"Anyways, General Windu, the first trick will be getting our troops on the ground- No Dee you leading airstrike will not help in some way," Her master told Mace Windu, Dee snorted at his words.

"If you two take the city of Nabat first, we'll have our landing zone," Master Mace Windu told them as they entered the ship

"And you will, let's go master it's time we meet the natives," she answered joyfully, she was so pumped to actually be back in action after those three long sad weeks of physio and with that the doors shut, Dee needed to get her own fair share on energy that she managed to clump up during her long break from the war.

And with that she felt the ship jerk as they get shot out, it was time for the attack to begin.

"We need to remember why we're here, we came to aid the Twi'leks not destroy their homes," Obi wan told the clones, Dee looked up at him, she couldn't wait until she herself was a Jedi Master herself, she imagined leading clone battalions with a Padawan by her side, she wondered often if thats what Obi Wan feels lookinga at her ?

"This means we'll be taking it the hard way boys, Cody you take it on from here," Dee added nodding at the other Commanders direction

"Minimal destruction with blasters and droid poppers only, no rockets or detonators, check your aim. Keep an eye out for the locals, am I understood ?" He asked 

"Sir yes sir," all the clones answered, Dee knew that a few of the 212 clone battalion didn't like her, which sucked because she saw them as the Echo and Fives of the 212, these two clones were Waxer and Boil, she didn't know why they disliked her, they literally were shooting stun darts at her at kriffing 0700 on her like third day as a Padawan.

"If we're here to free the tailheads, the least they can do is get out of the way," One of them said, she believed to be Boil, she shot him a nasty looked, how dare he ? how physically dare he insult creature just because of how they look ? She guessed that Boil got the memo because his smirked got wiped off quickly.

Soon Mace Windu's hologram appeared on the table, he didn't look happy, he looked more ticked then when he sent her and Ahsoka to guard the archives.

"We can't risk landing larger transport unless you two take out those guns," Oh well thats just cracking

"Pull back Master Windu, we'll take care of it won't we boys ?" Dee asked the men around her, Mace Windu nodded in her and her Master's direction.

"Well boys, who wants a challenge ?" She asked as the ship jolted violently.

"Like my padawan said, it looks like we aren't getting any reinforcements until those guns are taken care of," Obi wan added

The door began to slide open, oh this was going to be fun.

"Dee remember be-" her master started, she cut him off

"-careful I know I know, I was a crippled old lady three weeks ago I'm aware of that," she snipped back.

And with that she jumped out of the gunship, running with a prosthetic was hard at first, she nearly punched her teeth out a few times, but she figured it out in the end.

It wasn't long until flashes of red began calling, flashes of blue answered their call, Dee Sorin ignited her lightsaber, making the white blade hum to life, she found out that when igniting it she like spinning it in a circle, it looked cool and pretty and also worked majority of the time.

Dee liked being upfront of the clones, not that she didn't trust them, she did trust them, she just found it unfair to send them headfirst into something she wouldn't do herself, not that there was anything she wouldn't do herself, Dee was up for just about any and everything.

"That bunkers going to be a problem General!" Cody told Obi wan, Obi wan looked at Dee who was busy deflecting the blasts

"Leave the bunker to me and the Commander, bring in your troops on my signal, you two wanted action ? come with me and Dee," Obi wan answered back, Dee nodded and ran after him.

Dee didn't get why she was crouching behind a bush- well now a rock but hey whatever her master had but it better work,

"Now," He told the men as one of them tried to throw a droid popper but missed,

"I can't get close enough to the wall," Oh now she gets whats going on

"Try again I'll help you," She told him, he looked confused but nodded and threw the popper, Dee reached into the Force and felt the object about to fall, with a whistle of the Force she shoved it up in the right direction, she felt Obi wan do the same.

Looking at the smoke of the freed outpost, brought minimal joy to Dee Sorin's heart just like the minimal pay for risking her neck every few days.

"The wall is secure, Sirs," Commander Cody told them, great, they were now making one step closer, which meant two steps back in some way.

"Are we moving onto the guns ?" Cody continued asking, at this point Dee hoped the answer would be "yes"  but she doubted it.

"We need to know whats going on and what the droids have in store for us, Dee, gather some of the best men and go out there," oh kark

"Yes Master Smarty," she replied, she recently found she was using that nickname more often then before eh probably trust ?

"Boil, Waxer, Striker, Cody, let's get going boys," she said waving the four troopers forwards, she hated to admit it, but Waxer and Boil were ARC trooper material "Guess we're the best," she heard the mutter behind her as she started walking towards the fallen outpost, which as she approached, it was not the shit she believed it to be.

"Where's the inhabitents ?" Striker asked, looking around through his scope

"Right now we need to make our next move, our courage will be the future for these Twi'leks," she answered thoughtfully

"Me and Striker will check our the courtyard Commander, Could you, Waxer and Boil take the south sector ?" Cody asked her, oh right, she sometimes forgot she was his higher up.

"Of course Cody, we'll be back at Command at around 0620 off we go guys!" she told the clones and started walking, she knew that these guys didn't trust her, which stung, but she trusted them, majorically.

"Wait Commander !" Cody yelled out, Dee stopped raising an eyebrow "What do you mean around ?" oh

"Don't worry about it, I always make it out, now let's go," she replied continuing her walk.

"Tell you what, this is creepy, Commander, with your Jedi powers could you sense anything here ?" Boil asked her, Dee chewed her lip before answering

"I wish I could but this place feels like a black void in space," she answered sadly

"Does this mean that they all got killed ?" Waxer asked, a harmless question, but the thought of answering hurt,

"There's a chance, but theres no bodies, no blood, only signs of slight struggle, my best guess is that they got driven away," she answered, she heard something to her right "Wait!" she said holding her hand up, the two clones stopped dead 

"I was wrong, theres someone or thing here, keep an eye out," she told them quietly, hand picking her lightsaber up from her belt and holding it tightly, "There'll definitely be probe droids around here at some point, but I'll be able to sense them, just be on alert," she continued, the two troopers nodded, they began inching their way forwards.

There was a tumble of rocks by the black entrance, as the two clones pinned themselves against a wall, Dee Sorin ignited her white blade with a hiss and jumped down, using the bright white to shine around.

In a corner she saw two green headtails, a twilek. 

"Hey it's okay," She started, extinguishing her lightsaber and clipping the hilt to her belt, "Put your guns down, it's a child," she said, holding her hands up, one artifical and one organic, arguably the artifical one was deadly, but being rather frank, this child didn't know of Dee's metalic hand at the current moment.

"What are we going to do with her Commander ?" Boil asked her, Dee wasn't really sure about how to answer that one.

"I say we take her with us!" Waxer exclaimed, as the girl began petting her own headtails, Dee looked at her thin gnarled body and realised the fact that holy kark she looks so similar to Tina. Waxer and Boil argued behind her but then she heard a presense, of metal.

"BOYS HIDE!" she yelled, startling the girl and pointing to a probe droid before pressing herself against a pillar wall.

"Thats a recon droid, we need to get moving," she hissed 

"But Commander we can't leave her here," Waxer argued, oh Force Dee really can't deal with this now. 

"Fine, we'll take her, j-just figure out a way on how to, I need to be on look out apparently," she told them sighing and starting to look around for more possible droids hanging loose about here.

She heard Boil yelp, she guessed the girl must've either bit or pissed on him, she hoped she bit him.

"Ow the little tailhead bit me !" Boil exclaimed, Dee stiffled her giggle at the thought of it happening,

"Stop stop you're scaring her!" Waxer berated Boil "She probably thinks we're droids," Oh yeah, that makes sense

"Look I'm flesh and blood, just like you !" she heard Waxer say that behind her

"She looks half starved- uh- here," Boil told him, Dee heard the crinkle of a wrapper, probably a ration bar.

She finally turned around to see the girl quickly gobbling the ration bar down, Dee didn't get how she could eat that nasty thing so quickly, but then again, this is probably the most she ate in days- maybe a week or few ? Then she remembered, the food and water capsules !

See the Jedi had food and water capsules on their belts incase they ran out of food or water, they were as nasty as they seemed, the energy preserved in the capsule gave them strength and sustain them for missions where food is scarce, she unclipped one golden one with food and another one thats silver with water,

"Here," she said holding them out, the girl eyed her "They're uh- Makin and Oola uh- korjin're li bit grosku ssanti korjin'll sustain nu" Dee told her, internally cringing at her lack of ability to speak properly, she learnt a bit of basic Ryl when she was like ten but thats it, but the words of Ryl encouraged the girl to pick the capsules up and down them

"Commander I- we didn't know you knew Ryl," Boil stuttered at her

"I know the very basics of it, same with huttese, the only real languages I'm really good at are Basic and Bianary," she replied looking at the girl down the capsules down, clearly the effect overrode the taste because the girl looked sparkling

"er- lemme try something Jan- No- Jun nameku Dee, qa'ku y-yourku ?" she asked stuttering over the words

"Numa," the girl answered, instead of butchering herself further on she pointed at the clones instead , "Waxer, Boil," she told the girl who nodded and said 'Nerra Nerra Nerra' now despite being able to form complete sentences, this mayhaps put Dee's brain on short circuit so she just nodded and smiled.

"Now look guys, we need to go er Numa nala want ael go with eyi," Dee hoped the girl caught on, she only nodded and started walking beside Waxer 

"I'm worried about the Twi'Leks," she told the clones "Her being here makes me believe that they are being held hostage," she told them her worries, 

"Whats the plan in we run into any Commander ?" Boil asked

"That's a good question I- I don't know yet, my best guess is to try make them trust us, but making an adult trust us will be harder then a child," she murmured the last part.

"So what would happen to her after we leave ?" Waxer asked, Numa walking in his shadow.

"I don't know, but when we do this planet will be free," she answered with certainly

"How are you so sure ?" he asked

"I have a really good feeling about it," she answered, smiling gently at the Twi'Lek girl, who the capsules must've taken a good toll to.

The girl kept point at something in the distance, 'nerra ! nerra !' she chanted while running where the recon droid went, "No don't go that way! That's where the Recon droid went !" Waxer exclaimed 

"Waxer let it go," Boil answered

"No waxer, Don't let it go," she replied, starting to run after the girl, hearing the clones rush after her.

Dee leaped over a rock that Numa shuffled under, this girl had to have some sort of plan, unless she grew up here and YES! if she grew up here, she must know some secrets to the area !

Instead, she stopped infront of some houses, Dee and Waxer stood beside her.

"Good you two finally- no wait, good you caught her Commander," Boil caught himself, Dee nearly giggled, she lead them into a building a realisation smacked Dee right across her face this must be Numa's childhood home. 

"This was probably her home," Dee said quietly then she had to make sure it will be her home AGAIN.

Numa started crying when Waxer handed her a stuffed animal, "It's okay now, we're here to help," Waxer told her and she rushed into his arms, Dee felt so sorry for the young girl, this was scary, Dee could remember crying about her fight with the Blue Shadow Virus to Obi Wan and Anakin, how tightly she got hugged afterwards, she knew this was how scared Numa felt.

"Don't worry Numa, we are here to free your planet and reclaim democracy," she told the girl, who didn't look up

"Don't cry kid, we'll keep you safe, I promise," Boil told her, and that's when Numa lifted her head and ran to hug him instead, Dee smiled at the sight.

Then her comm began to beep frantically, oh great, so did Waxer and Boils.

"Don't answer, we'll say the truth, we found a girl in the rubble and had to make sure she's safe, I'll order Cody to not give you guys any sort of punishment and make him consider your guy's ARC trooper applications," Dee told them calmly

"We didn't make applications ?" Boil asked

"You did now," she answered smugly, until she felt a giant fucking beast in the force "Well shit, get behind me" she added igniting her lightsaber and holding it in a reverse grip, this is now or fucking die.

She ran at the creatures, slicing the face in half, then stabbed the other one, in probably it's gut ? she didn't know this things anatomy Force forbid !

Numa ran into the house and began shoving the rocks apart, she lifted a trapdoor YES !

"Follow her!" she exclaimined, fighting back a pant and rushing after Numa.

The sewers were what you'd expect a sewer to be, damp, cold, disgusting, Dee for a fact knew that the Coruscant Sewers were WAY more worse then this, but it still grossed her out, heavily.

As they walked up the ladder to the top she saw her master and the 212 standing, aiming for the sewers.

"Well, how are ya master ?" she asked, shoving herself out, 

"Dee," Obi Wan sighed, like he wanted to whack his head against a wall at 400 parsecs.

"Waxer, Boil, where have you two been ?" Cody asked, Dee had a promise to upfill

"They were following their Commander's orders, following them so well I'd consider dropping them into the ARC Trooper program," Dee said crossing her arms "Also we got side tracked," she added gesturing her head towards Numa, the 212th vision dropped down to the young girl.

"Hello little one," Obi wan said crouching down to the Twi'Lek girl

"Erm actually master, her names Numa," Dee said, mockingly raising her finger at him

"How would you know ?" Obi wan asked

"I skirt around the ability of being able to speak the basics of Ryl," Dee replied, feigning nonchalantness

"She brought us here through the tunnels, General," Waxer told Obi wan.

Obi wan then proceeded to say several fucking sentences that Dee caught onto, she only caught 'You' 'know' 'tunnels', eh putting three together seemed to make sense, Obi wan was asking her if she knew secret tunnels around here.

Numa answered with 'oh yes oh yes' well in Ryl, but you get the drift, she could lead them through the tunnel and into the Separatists without them having a clue.

"She said she can lead us through the tunnels," Her maser translated for the men, "Cody, me and Dee are going to need a diversion," He added towards the Clone Commander.

And with that, Cody and CO set off to create a diversion for Obi wan and CO to do fuck knows what to Dee's knowledge, she guessed Obi wan expected her to just catch on midpoint to what they were doing, and thats what shes going to do- as always.

"Yup, this is about the worst job in the droid army," the droid infront of Dee complained.

"Yup, just about," she answered before swinging her lightsaber straight at the head.

"Me and Dee will take care of whats ahead, you two stay here with her," Obi wan told them, at the sound of her name her head snapped up and she bounced over.

Obi wan Kenobi and Dee Sorin snuck up the steps, a pair most likely as formidable as they come from only knowing eachother for what ? fourish months tops ? As Dee popped her head over the final step, she saw it, a wall of Twi'Leks, As a shield ! Well fuck this, if Dee had a single opinion on how she felt right now she wouldn't be able to name it since she felt so mixed, so much hatred towards Count Dooku, and pity for the Twi'Leks, and most of all fear and doubt for herself, not even as she's scared to try, she's scared to fail.

The four ran out, leaving Numa and hiding behind the pillar.

"So Dee, you know the plan ?" Obi Wan asked 

"Nah not really, I'll improvise," she answered, Obi Wan smirked, As blasting commensed the pitiful silence, Dee Sorin ignited her lightsaber and slashed the droids behind the Twi'Leks right in half, she however, chose to leave the droids to her master, surprisingly, and began slashing the cuffs off the Twi'Leks, several cuffs at once.

Obi wan began running and so did the Twi'Leks in front, Dee Sorin, ever the hero, yelled to her master "Take them down, I'll deal with the dear Commander here,"

"Very well then padawan," he told her before running, now how does one lone Jedi Apprentice win against the Separatist Alliance ? Quite simple, you need to consider commiting an accidentaly warcrime while you at it.

As the Commander in his battle tank appeared, Dee Sorin held up her hands.

"Hold your fire, I've come to surrender, my General doesn't know of how powerful thy droids are therefor as the Commander for the 212 I offer surrender," Dee Sorin explained, holding her hands clearly above her head.

"With this interest in mind, I wish to er- Negociate with the Commander in charge, Commander to Commander," She continued, eyeing the commander atop of his battle tank appeared.

"I do not believe you Commander Dee Sorin, Open fire," He's going to open fire, thats fine! That's what Dee needed, his body exposed, with the Force, she grabbed him and pulled him down, slicing him in half.

"DEE, THATS A WAR CRIME!" Obi wan yelled at her as they began slicing the droids firing at them.

"Not really, he commanded to open fire before I sliced him, I just did it as self defence master," Dee answered, Obi Wan didn't answer, yet he didn't yell at her either, her considerated warcrime turned into a plan.

"Well, I guess you are right, in a way," Obi wan finally replied, Dee only smiled and ran forwards to another droid.

Dee loved her lightsaber form, it was whimiscal to her, it had power yet acrobatics, and Dee loved droing acrobatics, her form was also really quickpaced, she was rarely in the same spot for over nine seconds.

She looked behind herself and saw Obi wan, Waxer and Boil manning a fucking tank, Dee took this as her sign to get the KARK right back, as she didn't fancy being in the smack right middle of an explosion.

She ran over to help the boys man the gun, with the Force, she wrapped her hand around the explosive and began lifting it, sure it was heavy, but not that heavy, like the Force was dulling it.

After about three more of these blows, they won. All the Twi'Leks rushed forwards, the mission was complete.

It was one small step into greater future for Ryloth.

Right after the first mission upon Ryloth, Dee Sorin got taken to yet another one, Her and Anakin Skywalker were going to lead the Air strike team, she, Anakin, Ahsoka, R7, R4 and R2 were now walking down.

"So tiny, ready for another mission ?" He asked her, almost teasingly

"When am I not ?" she asked right back, 

"Well make sure to keep up," he teased right back at her, the disrespect

"Oh don't worry, I'll leave some droids for you," she replied climbing into her cockpit, R4 flew into his compartment on the ship.

"Well Bluey, ready for another mission ?" She asked her blue droid, who beeped in reply "Thought so," she replied

Dee began powering up her ship and R4 plugged in, the dome began to shut over her head, she powered up the thrusters and guns, star fighters didn't have shields, they relied on the pilots to maneuver them quickly.

After everything got powering up, a message appeared on her screen, "Commander Dee Sorin, flightlane 16B," and with that she powered up the engine and pressed accellerate, it was time for air strike.

At first, air strike was easy, only one or three ships at a time, then it got hectic.

"SKYGUY YOU'VE GOT SIX ON YOUR TAIL!" she yelled at Anakin

"I KNOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M TRYING TO GET RID OF ?" He yelled right back at her, she wasn't even ticked at him yelling at her, she had her own four bombers to deal with.

She flew up and started turning, she pressed the shoot button several times, she got one of the bombers down, three to go,

"WAIT SKYGUY I'VE GOT AN IDEA," She yelled at him through her comm

"CARE TO SHARE ?" He asked as he shot back two.

"JUST FLY STRAIGHT AT ME THEN GO DOWN," She yelled back, hoping the Separatists weren't hacking into their frequencies.

Anakin didn't reply but began flying straight at her, R4 was beeping frantically that they were going to crash "I know R4 I know," she told her droid, right before the two starfighters collided, Dee Sorin shot up and Anakin Skywalker shot down.

However, just as the remaining seven bombers were destroyed, sixteen new ones spawned in,

"You have to be kidding me R4 ?" she asked her droid, who beeped sadly 

"Master Windu, Mine and Dee Sorin's fighters are trying to take out the bombers quickly but theres too many, I suggest you get the people away from the cities, what do we do ?" Anakin asked master Windu 

"Silver three here Silver Leader, Silver five reports that there are possibly more Separatist bombers incoming," well this is all going to kark

"Report that to Gold and Red Leaders, do whatever you can to take them out," she replied, then opened a comm frequency to all of the air strike

"Silver Leader here, there are possibly more droids incoming, do whatever you feel is needed to take them out," 

"Skywalker, Sorin, get rid of the bombers then meet me at the capital," Master Windus voice spoke through her comm as Dee barely avoided being blasted into smitherines 

"We're trying," Dee answered, shooting another bomber down

"We'll see what we can do," Anakin added as Dee spotted another three bombers about to snipe Ahsoka, she shot two down

"Thanks Silver Leader," Ahsoka teased

"No worries," Dee answered, 

"R4 put all energy reserves into the thrusters, engine and guns, we need to out manuever them," she told her R4 unit, who in replied beeped to her that it could possibly dull the sensors

"I know it can dull the sensors, do it anyways, this is only for a short while," she snarked back, while shooting a bomber that was on one of her own mens tail, they were making decently fast progess, but it still wasn't going as quickly as Dee would've liked it to.

"You know R4, after this I'm going to do some modifications do this ship, theres some things that are making me annoyed," she randomly spat out to the droid, she somehow in her perveral she saw massive shooting.

She violently veered her starfigher towards the blasts, "R4 what do you see on your sensors ?" she asked, R4 beeped about a droid commander heading towards a ship "Can't have that can we ? take us to that ship," she told him and with that he turned right, there she saw the droid heading towards a ship, and within five seconds the ship was gone, right, now she had to get right back to the battle.

"Tiny where were you ?" Anakin asked her as she flew back into the battle

"Ah you know, checking somethings out, whatever I'm back now," she answered, taking another shot at the droids, suddenly the bombers began veering off, TOWARDS THE CITY,

Not on her watch "Silver Leader, follow those bombers," she commaned to her men as she began shooting, Luckily her men followed.

"Well that was a fun battle," She spoke into the main frequency, to Ahsoka, to Anakin, to everyone

"And a succesfull one," Ahsoka added

Chapter Text

Dee has actually been finding it hard to keep up with how quickly the Clone Wars move. Yes she understood it was a longtime war fought on many fronts like World War I and II but she count the fact that it was intergalactic and not intercountry.

Three days ago she was deployed with Obi wan to help free the Twi'Leks on Ryloth, then she got sent up to do an Air Strike with Ahsoka and Anakin.

Now she and Ahsoka were sitting in the back of a four seated ship approaching Felcuia.

"Thats Felucia dead ahead," Anakin told them pointing, where the kark is that Medical Station ?

"Yeah thats nice, wheres the Medical station ?" Dee asked, sarcasm etching her voice.

"I don't scan it on my scanners," Obi wan answered oh just so so helpful. "WAIT! theres something!" He added, 

Dee Sorin looked further on, ah there he is, the big beast itself "Vulture Droids!" she exclaimed

"Hang on," Anakin commanded. Well shit here go all of their plans

Anakin Skywalker wasn't a bad pilot, he just made a lot of interesting decisions which often ended up in crashes, and in which Dee found herself saving his tail a few times Ryloth, when R2 got stolen, the list could go on.

"I guess we know what happened to the medical station," Ahsoka told her, clearly trying to lighten the mood, then a loud crash echoed and the ship began to shake, this wasn't lightening atleast Dee's mood.

"I'll guess this isn't good," Dee replied right back at her.

"They took out the plasma conduct," Obi wan answered helpfully, which wasn't very helpful in lifting Dee's own opinion.

"You guys thinking what I'm thinking ?" Anakin asked

"Certainly not!" Obi wan answered indignantly

"I'm thinking it but I don't like it," Dee answered back

"We're doing this the hard way, starting ejection sequence," Well this is kark Dee thought while putting her oxygen mask on, within approximately fifteen seconds at most she'd be having her head banged against a metal sphere.

"How come everytime you fly, we crash ?" Ahsoka asked from beside her

"It's not my fault, it's the ships fault," Anakin answered back, clearly irritated by the clear facts of Ahsoka's question.

"Ready to eject," Obi wan cut in throught the master - padawan argument which Dee was starting to find funny.

"Wait... NOW!" and with that they got flung out, luckily, air turbulance had little to no effect on Dee, this stupid metal ball however made her have her head banged with a possible concussion.

After what was probably 10 seconds they were on the ground and the second Dee's pod opened she flung herself onto the dirt, 

"Well that sucked," She said, still hugging the dirt in a way, she missed this in the ten seconds of their miserable crash.

"You alright there master ?" Anakin asked, oh wait shit Dee forgot fully about Obi wan in her rush to feel the dirt again.

"I'm fine Anakin, Dee what are you doing ?" Obi wan asked, 

"Reconnecting with nature," she answered dully, finally standing up and brushing the dirt off her stomach, top and legs.

"Where on Felucia are we ?" Ahsoka asked, fair question

"I'm not sure," Obi wan answered

"Great, thats so nice and helpful," Dee added, which earned her a nasty stinkeye, there was a loud boom somewhere in the distance

"I don't like the sound of that," Ahsoka told them, while Dee noticed a nice fucking Tyrannosaurus Rex infront of that

"And I don't like the look of that Tyrannosaurus Rex," which once again earned her a look "What ? never heard of a T-Rex ? or did the Order never teach you guys basic biology ?" Dee asked, the three slowly shook their heads "Forget I said anything," Dee murmered to herself

"We can't just wander around aimlessly, we need a plan," Obi wan cut in ah yes the obvious 

"You always taught me to go on my instincts, and my instincts tell me to go there," Anakin said pointing behind Obi wan

"Well mine tell me to go there," Obi wan replied behind Anakin, Ahsoka bumped her shoulder with Dee's "They're so stupid it makes me cry" Ahsoka whispered to her, Dee giggled in reply which made the two masters look at her.

"Why don't we follow you know, the basic thinking patern and go where the smoke is ?" Dee asked crossing her arms after pointing forwards

"You know maybe me and Dee should lead these missions ourselves," Ahsoka added before the two started walking.

Dee was wondering if this is how George Meegan felt walking from the South of A'ca to Aslaka, because she certainly felt like that.

The walk, ignoring the most likelihood of having to complete thousands of miles, was actually rather pretty, there were plants that Dee never heard of before.

"Look theres a village," Ahsoka told them, Dee looked up and spotted it aswell

"Maybe they have a ship we can borrow," Anakin suggested as if he was suggesting stealing it- oh wait thats probably what he was suggesting.

"It looks like they're growing healing plants," Ahsoka told the, looking down 

"Silum, I believe, one of the most valuable crops in the galaxy," Obi wan answered thoughtfully, rubbing his beard

"I dunno, this place looks kind of deserted," Dee replied right back 

"I don't believe it is Dee, the crops are ready to be harvested, tools are lying about, somethings amiss," Obi wan answered to his Padawan now, like Dee knew was 'amiss' meant.

"Well theres one thing I learnt from where I grew up, you wanna know what a farmers up to ? look in their barn," Anakin told them

"Yeah you can't do that on the part of Eeth where I grew up," Dee answered back

"Why ?" Anakin asked

"Because the farmers from Eirea would fucking spear you with a pitch fork or run you over with a tractor 50-50 chance they'll be like the ones where you're from or like their from Eeth," Dee answered right back, remembering to when she herself had to run away from a gangle of farmers with So'Leah.

As they opened the barn, Dee looked at the ship in the barn, it wasn't arguably the best model like her sweet sweet starfighter which she's been modifying as her Christmas present. 

"This is an odd ship for farmers, perhaps someones here to pick up the Silum," Obi wan told them, the more she looked at it, the more she remembered the holomovies she used to watch with her parents and grandparents about bounty hunters.

"Yeah I don't know, it looks a bit like the standard bounty hunter ship in holo films," Dee replied crossing her arms over her chest.

"I still don't get it, where is everyone ?" Ahsoka asked and with that they split up, Dee went with Obi wan while Ahsoka went with Anakin.

In Dee's opinion, this felt like trespassing, infact she made her opinion clear.

"Hey master, aren't we like- trespassing right now ?" Dee asked 

"Not really, the Republic says it's illegal yet doesn't do much about it. Why ?" Obi wan answered and asked 

"Oh on Eeth it's way more strict," she started looking underneath a desk "The basic fine is 10,000 credits- it's probably more though- and atleast a year in prison," she finished, Obi wan looked rather confused at her words. "Why are you so confused master ?" Dee asked as they began walking towards where Anakin and Ahsoka probably were.

"Oh it's nothing I just thought that- Eeth would be a bit like Tatoonie or Ord Mantell," Obi wan answered, a bit sheepishly

"Oh nah it's not, it's actually rather advanced, more advanced then Coruscant- education wise I think," she answered

"You're just saying that because you're born and raised in Eeth," Obi wan joked 

"Nah my lower left arms Coruscanti," Dee answered smirking, she's grown rather fond and confident over her metalic left arm, she felt a lightsaber ignite in the Force "I'll take it thats our partners in crime," Dee added before running off and igniting her own lightsaber.

"4 on 1 ? you mean 4 on 2 ?" she heard Ahsoka ask as she and Obi wan rushed into the room 

"We don't count you knee high," a robotic voice told her

"Do you count me ?" Obi wan asked "And me?" Dee added 

"Sorry tiny but you're shorter then sn-" As Anakin was about to finish a female zabrak cut him off

"Ah Doe Soarin isn't it ?" She asked her, WHO the kark is this woman and why does she know Dee's name and WHY did she pronounce it like that.

"Er it's Dee Sorin, anyways, how do you know me ?" Dee asked, still feeling major confusion as she held her lightsaber up higher.

"Iridonia is rather close to Eeth isn't it ? it's sister colony if you many ? also your little incident on Naboo doesn't go unnoticed between by my type of crowd." The woman continued 

"Okay, well thats nice, what are you doing here ?" Dee asked the zabrak, eyeing her suspiciously.

"Stop, don't harm them, don't you see these are Jedi, we are saved!" A little.. creature.. farmer possibly, told them, it was nice how he saw them as saviours.

"Oh I know about these Jedi, this one especially," Sugi continued, pointing the blaster closer to Dee's face

"Saved ?" Ahsoka asked 

"Might I remind you Kasis, you already made a deal with us," The zabrak woman told Kasis

"But with these Jedi, it's extra help !" Kasis continued, Dee would've appreciated if this gun was lifted from her face.

"Excuse me, but help you with what ?" Ahsoka asked the farmer

"Pirates," He answered dully

Oh this makes so much sense.

"If we stay here, and give the pirates the fortune of our crop they will destroy our homes, with us in them," some of the other farmers began explained

Dee stayed a far bit from the negociations, politics were not her brave spot and she wasn't going to try brave them right now.

"I see your dilema," Obi wan told him

"Silum farming is a meager trade, without our herbs to sell, we will have no money for food, fuel and more equiptment," 

"And yet you can afford to pay mercenaries ?" Obi wan asked

SON, DAUGHTER AND FATHER, DEE FELT RIGHT NOW EXACTLY HOW SHE FELT FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN HER PARENTS WERE COMPLAINING TO THE POOR UNDERPAID MCDONALDS WORKER FOR ACCIDENTALLY MIXING UP THEIR ORDER.

"Master," she muttered under her breath pinching her nose while leaning against the wall.

"These bounty hunters drive a far more reasonable bargain then the pirates, you know what, it's time to ask the obvious.

"So why don't you guys just- fight them off... yourselves," the further she got into the question the more stupid she felt, she wanted to wham her head into a metal table as she finished the question as she realised the obvious 

"Easy for you perhaps Doe-"

"It's Dee,"

"Sorry, Dee Sorin, but look at us we are farmers not warriors, even with the bounty hunters help, I had feared for the worst," Kasis explained to her wait 'worst' that's past tense ?

"But 'feared for the worst' is past tense, doesn't this mean that everything is fixed ?" Dee asked, wondering if she was looking like a know it all for pointing out the use of past tense.

"No-not yet, but since you Jedi are here, then everything soon will be fixed," OH oh

"What, do you want Jedi ?" The Zabrak woman, who Dee learnt was called Sugi, asked Obi wan 

"We need a ship, ours is beyond repair right now," 

"The one in the barn, that'll do," Anakin told her

"Thats our ride, it doesn't go anywhere without us, and right now, we're busy," 

Hold up. Dee Sorin looked at the man beside Sugi, she swore it looked like the guy who broke into the Temple a few months back with the bald woman in a slickback. She zeroed her eyes on him, he was going to have a Jabberjay on his tail, except Dee wasn't going to report to a power hungry capitol and was just going to report to herself.

"Busy exploiting farmers ?" Obi wan asked 

"Well I don't see you helping ?"

"Unforuntely, we couldn't help even it we wanted to," Obi wan answered

"WHAT ?!" Dee yelled out

"What ?" Ahsoka exclaimed

Outside the quadrant were expressing their opinions on this mission.

"Master, we have to help them, it's not like we have anything other to do," Dee groaned out

"We need to get back to Coruscan-"

"Oh my FORCE master, connect two negative braincells and make a positive one, if we help the farmers now, the bounty hunters could help us later, make an act today to get one in return tomorrow," Dee scolded back, standing confidently and as tall as she could

"Well my padawan, we need to report that the medical station was destroyed,"

"Well, we can't do that can we ? We. Need. A. Ship. And the only one around here belongs to BOUNTY. HUNTERS. so the only way to obtain one is by helping," She shot right back

"I don't like your tone padawan," was he trying to scold her ?

"Yeah ? Well I don't like yours," She answered before storming off, soon a little farmer ran up to her "Pirates, Pirates, Pirate!" She was exclaiming

"Pirates ? where ?" she asked, as the farmer pointed in the distance Obi wan won't help, Anakin and Ahsoka will probably follow, but I won't it's what makes me better, I actually care for people. Dee thought, and felt disgusted by herself, not by helping, but by thinking she's better, she ignited her lightsaber as her ears picked up on the sound of speeders approaching fast.

"Thats far enough," Sugi told them, she was standing beside Dee "I speak for the people of this village, state your name and business,"

"My name is my own business and business is taking whats ours,"

"There is nothing here that is yours, unless you are here to buy it,"

"Buy it ? Ha-ha ha, Kenobi, Skywalker, I can't believe you flew all this way to see me," the weird pirate

"Hondo," Obi wan and Anakin said in sync wait so this was the guy Dee dubbed as Jack Sparrow ? holy no.

"You know eachother ?" Sugi asked looking back, so did Dee, her lightsaber still humming with the wind.

"Of course we do, tell them how far back we go Kenobi," Hondo asked

"Too far," Obi wan replied

"Wait so let me get this straight, you're Hondo ?" Dee asked, faking incredilousness

"Of course I am Jedi," Hondo replied thats nice

"So I supposed you fight and kill children," Dee asked, slightly drooping her shoulder while making eye contact.

"No- no I draw the line at children, now, let's go fight eh ?" He asked

"I'm a child," Dee shot right back, Hondo's face dropped a bit, Dee wondered why, she also wondered why she felt anger off of Anakin and Obi wan, but anyways she smiled smugly Yeah bitch, take that

"You know, if you're interested in some sort of- I dunno 'friendship' with my master, I'd recommend stopping terrorizing farmers," Dee continued explaining, like how one would explain to a five year old why you cannot eat the washing machine pods.

"Oh please young girl, you have not been listening to this bounty hunting scum," Hondo answered right back 

"stop, we're just here to protect them and whats theirs," 

"Oh come come here, how much are they paying you ? doesn't matter, whatever it is, I will double it, all you have to do to earn this, is to step aside." Hondo asked  

"We. Don't. Break. Deals." 

And with that, everyone lifted their blasters, Dee held her lightsaber up.

"Steady everyone," Obi wan offered

"What is your stake anyways Kenobi ?" Hondo asked

"Nothing, Jedi don't get paid, we do this of our own free will," Dee's answer was half true, all Jedi missions were funded by the Republic and they were not paid, however, as a part of the Military, the Jedi do sometimes get paid for their service, Dee Sorin had a total of three of these payments so far, Naboo, Ryloth and the whole Lurmen mess, the pay depended on how shit the mission went and how much the Senate felt pity and how much they wanted to put in, for example Ryloth gave her 750 credits while Naboo gave her a little over 2,000, which yes might seem like a lot in one single pay, but that pay might be the only pay you get for five months aside from the 50 credits So'Leah gives her every twoish weeks and thats a thing for being friends with her, she's probably one of the only Jedi who get a perk like that.

"All we want is a ride to the nearest Republic outpost, and I'm willing to pay you handsomly for it, twice what you could make selling this crop." Obi wan spoke over her, now those credits that Obi wan is speaking about is credits funded towards the mission, not Obi wans personal money.

"Well now, how would you pay me ?" Obi wan asked

"A funds transfer when we arrive," 

"Republic credits, we've been over this before Kenobi, my associates don't accept Republic credits,"

"I'm offering a deal that benefits us all Hondo, don't let your greed blind you to that fact," 

"You know I like you Kenobi, but uhm, no one leaves this planet until I get my Silum,"

"Then I hope you enjoy it here, because you'll be staying a long time parasite !" Sugi exclaimed

"You know, this crop has not been harvested, you better hurry old man, before things get messy," Hondo warned

"When the attack comes, it will come from two fronts, the forest to the South and the ridge to the North, whatever you do, you must defend both sides," Obi wan explained to the farmers

"But there are only four of them, how can four bounty hunters defend against so many ?" The farmer

"I'm not sure how, but with the help of four Jedi they stand a better chance," Dee spoke up 

"Dee we've been over this," Obi wan warned

"You seem to lack the trust in our abilities young Sorin," Sugi told her, ugh

"It's not that I don't trust your abilities, I've just seen what majority of pirates can do," Dee answered simply

"Says the peacekeeper who fails to keep the peace,"

"The whole Separatists versus Republic isn't our fault, it's the fact that the people who support the Separatists are stupid and brainwashed and follow Count Dooku blindly into his whole weird, unrealistic fantasy," Dee snapped back

"If more worlds would stay up for themselves against the Separatists, this war would've been over long ago," Obi wan added 

"Thats it, we'll just train the villagers to defend themselves !" Anakin exclaimed, thats not- a bad idea

"But we are just simple farmers, why are we paying bounty hunters to defend us ?" a farmer asked, that brought back so many memories to Dee

"I was a simple farmer like you guys like six months ago- thats a lie I used to play sports for my county- anyways that's besides the point, a rough six months ago I was the same as you, on a planet and no offence is meant in this, a bit of a nobody, now I'm a Jedi, everything is possible !" Dee exclaimed 

Dee was helping another chunk of farmers learn how to use a spear, she said it was teaching the younger farmers, but really, she had her sights on the guy who she highly believed try to rob of a few youngling of the Temple a few months back.

"Okay so, fighting with a spear is similar to fighting with a lightsaber," she began unclipping her weapon, one of the younger boys scoffed at her, she raised an eyebrow

"A pitchfork, compared to a lightsaber ?" he jeered at her, she held her hand out and took his pitchfork "Sure," she answered, holding both her lightsaber and the pitchfork infront of her Please let this work so I don't embarass myself she thought to herself.

She began spinning the lightsaber and pitchfork, then she leaped up and flipped to the side the slashed with her lightsaber then with the pitchfork, she spun it a final time before handing it back while the farmers stared in awe.

"They're rather similar except the fact that the lightsaber made of plasma and a pitchfork is made of wood and iron," she replied "Now line up," she continued as they stared in confused, "Get into rows of 5 and stand with your weapons butt touching the ground," 

"Whats a weapons butt ?"

"The bottom of it, the not sharp part,"

This was going to be a long long day.

After about three miserable hours of Dee Sorins life, she was getting somewhere, the villagers could spin their pitchforks, spears and what else they had pretty decently, it was no lightsaber but they weren't doing so badly.

"Okay guys, good work, take a break for a moment, I need to check something out," she told them eyeing the who was wandering near Anakin.

She walked over as he threw a spear towards one of the villagers, 

"The bounty hunter is right- every minute you waste teaching us to twirl these stupid poles, is time you could've spent beating those pirates yourself !" One of the villagers cried out,

"And what good would that do ? another band of brigands would eventually come along or do you intend to give away part of your crop every harvest season ?"Obi wan asked the man 

"If you make us do this, then there won't be another harvest season," A farmer protested 

"Alright everyone, get back in positions," Anakin told them, Dee walked back over towards the younger farmers she was training

"The other guy is right ! this is pointless," 

"Oh don't give up now!" Dee exclaimed at them, in which they all jumped in reply "Do you not think I don't want to give up every time I have to do training ?" She asked

"You're a Jedi," they fought back

"So what ? I got a laser sword and magic powers which both of them are useless without training, if you don't try something today then you might not make it tomorrow," she answered back at that "Now back into positions," she commanded, this time, they got back into positions.

Dee felt a weird presence in the Force, like she was being watched, she looked behind herself, she zeroed her sights on the ridges there the little karker is.

Not on Dee Sorin's eye he was getting away, she used the Force to shove herself up the cliff and began running, the pirate saw her and began running as well.

"OH NO YOU DON'T YOU COWARD," she yelled as she added more speed to run faster, the pirate was going to mount the speeder, with one long slash of her lightsaber she cut the speeder in half, the cowardly pirate began shooting at her.

She needed this guy as a hostage, as hostage leverage if you may, she kept itching closer until she managed to use the Force to rip the gun out of his hands and wham him with the side of her lightsaber.

Why not the hilt of her saber ? You may ask, well the reason for that is while designing her lightsaber, Dee put two sharp points at the back of her lightsaber that were used for stabbing incase for some reason her blade wasn't working, in a way, she took inspirated from the guns that were used in WWI that had a spear at the top, so once the ammo ran out you could still stab people with it.

Now another question, why not use the top ? well first, it's illegal within the Jedi to turn your saber off mid fight, Dee wasn't sure why but fine whatever, also the emitter was made so it looked like her blade was a crystal, so once again, pointy, and Dee needed this guy as hostage leverage.

"Nice job Dee," she heard behind her Ahsoka!

She turned around, holding her blade at the hostages neck "He's not dead," she told them

"Why ?" Sugi asked

"Hostage leverage." Dee answered simply.

The hostage was patted down and triple check with the Force, then tied up to a pole in the middle of the farm where there was nothing to help him, why ? Dee remembered this apparently being a scare tactic used by pirates on Eeth, therefor, she was trying to reverse the logic.

Dee Sorin ignited her lightsaber waiting for the pirates to jump at them, she didn't have much a role at the current moment, only until the pirates got too close for comfort.

That was when she saw it, a fucking tank.

"Well master and skyguy, looks like I've got something to deal with," she told them before jumping up and landing on the cliff, luckily this made Hondo turn the tank away from the village, unluckily, he turned it towards her, she had to act fast. 

She ignited her lightsaber and ran straight at the tank, if she was right beside the tank, it couldn't shoot her, she slashed the side of it.

"Well well well, isn't it the Jedi ?" Hondo asked

"Well well well, isn't it the cowardly pirates who fights from up here instead of down there with his men ?" Dee asked right back before slashing the gunning point of the tank off "and for clarity, it is the Jedi," she added as she flung the piece of metal at the tank, which sent it flying backwards.

Clearly fucking Hondo had a second plan as the second he stepped out of that tank he charged her with an electric spear, like the ones Grievous'.. droid.. doctors ? whatever they were, had, to Dee, this was like a lightsaber fight, well it was, until Hondo's fuckass monkey began pulling her skirt down.

"What the kark ?" she mutted to herself as she parried the strike and with the Force grabbed Hondo's monkey thing and chucked it down "There goes Jack the Monkey," Dee told Hondo as she swung at him

"actually his name was Pikk Mukmuk," Hondo muttered back at her.

There were several strong strikes shared between the pirate and Jedi, it wasn't until Dee fell down and Hondo began to lean over her, pressing her lightsaber closer to her, unknowingly to Hondo, thats what Dee needed. Bringing her legs up to her chest, she kicked him up hard and square, sending him towards the ledge.

"Well Dee Sorin, let's negociate this as civils eh ?" Hondo asked

Dee Sorin looked back and saw the fake Jack the Monkey trying to throw a bomb at her "Okay then Hondo," she replied backflipping off the cliff as it exploaded.

"THIS EFFORT IT NO LONGER PROFITABLE!" Hondo yelled as he ran away, like the coward he was and forever will be.

"There are crops to harvest, fields to fill, huts to rebuild, now, get to work," Kasis told the villagers "How could I ever thank you for saving our village ?" he asked them

"We didn't save your village Kasis, your villagers did," Anakin told him

"For the first time in my memory, my people don't have to be afraid, we will never forget you,"

Sugi, quite thankfully let them fly her ship back to the nearest battle station, but Dee Sorin wasn't interested that much, Christmas was approaching soon, meaning she had to get into her own Christmas spirit and book a holiday.

Chapter Text

Dee Sorins intelligence rarely ever failed her, luckily it didn't recently.

Her and So'Leah managed to book a break 10 days before Christmas started, which meant the Sorin and Sa'Lennice families got to reuinite for the most tacky Christmases ever.

The past 13 Christmases in Dee's memory were tacky, when they got a tree with a mice infestation, when one of her older cousins chucked a rock at her head so she spent a day in the ER, the list goes on and on.

After arriving Dee Sorin founded that she had a younger adopted sibling, cute, whatever, now, her, her mum, her dad and her new younger brother Leo were in the speeder on the way to chop down a tree and name it their Christmas tree.

"Hey dad, one question, why can't we just go to the Christmas tree market ?" Dee asked from the backseat

"Because this is how we always did it," her father answered

"Yes, this is also how you nearly got frostbite one year," her mother deadpanned

"Eh, details, anyways honey, we're so glad you can spend this Christmas with us," her mother continued

"Of course mum, how else could I go about it ?" she answered, all she got was a polite smile, Dee turned around and saw a truck trying to pass them "Hey dad, there's a truck trying to overtake us," she called out

"I know," he answered speeding up

"Hey dad, if a truck is trying to overtake you, shouldn't you let it?" 

"SKYGUY THAT SPEEDERS TRYING TO OVERTAKE US?!"

"I KNOW WHY DO YOU THINK I'M SPEEDING UP!"

"SHOULDN'T YOU SLOW DOWN?"

"I DON'T WANT THEM TO PASS US,"

"WHY ?"

"BECAUSE THE FORCE TELLS ME SO!"

"Nah, I don't want them too," her dad answered simply, reminding her a bit of Anakin- Anakin himself came to the Temple late, she wondered if he also was spending Christmas with his family ?

After approximately twelve minutes of absolutely booking it to not get passed by the truck, they made it in twelve minutes instead of twenty four, now it was time for the long, miserable hike to the tree.

"Here he is," her mum said, looking proudly up at the tree, Leo looked at their parents before asking his question "Do you guys have the saw to cut it ?" her mum gasped in realisation

"Dee sweetie, could you- what's his name ? Yoda this tree ?" her dad asked, Dee giggled at the question before trying.

She focused her mind, thinking of lifting the tree, she felt it's roots in the Force, she imagined her hands grasping around it and pulling it up, she lifted her hands higher until she felt cracking in the crust, when she opened her eyes, she saw the tree- including the roots.

"Eh, we'll cut it when we get home," she said, dropping it with the Force "Unless.." she walked over to where the roots were, from under her puffer coat she whipped her lightsaber out and ignited her white blade, making it hum to life, she slashed the bottom of the tree, cutting off the roots huh ! why didn't I think of that before ? she extinguished her blade and clipped it right back under her coat to her belt.

"Well then, we've got out tree," she told them, snapping them out of whatever thoughts they had, the drive back was rather awkward, Dee and her dad had to strap the tree to the roof of their speeder, on the way back, she kept feeling the tree moving, she used the Force a few times at the intersections to keep the tree from fucking flying down the road.

As they arrived, it came to the task of getting the tree inside the house, which after a good thirty minutes of struggling, a good twenty dirty looks from their other neighbours, ten complaining sessions, they finally fought their tree into the house.

"Well then, thats day ten until Christmas completed," she chirped as they finally set the tree down on the plate of water.

The next day, Dee Sorin and her dad went to go buy and wrap presents for their guests and themselves, tomorrow her brother and her mum would be doing the same, for now, those two were decorating the tree, tomorrow, Dee and her dad would decorate the house.

"Well dad, asking for a friend, what would you like for Christmas ?" she asked jokingly

"Hmm a lego porsche, you ?"

"Well about lego, the lego Venator Attack Class Cruiser seems really nice," she said rubbing her chin thoughtfully

"Have you been on a Venator before ?" her dad asked as they turned right at the intersection

"Of course ? I've commanded them several times before," she answered casually

"My little starlight," her dad muttered as he parallel parked "Did you hear of your lego starfighter ?" he asked

"Oh yeah, it comes with like- a minifigure of me, dunno how to feel about that,"

"Who are your friends in the Order ?"

"Oh easy, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and Anakin," her dad hummed at her words

"Alright then, let's go," he said leaving the car, she followed suit.

They walked around the lego store, Dee eyed her starfighter and picked it up of the shelf, she squinted her eyes at the ship "It's pretty accurate," she told her dad, who was looking over her shoulder, she looked at Ahsoka's, Obi-Wan's and Anakin's "They all are, actually," she added "Anyways, for who are we buying ?" she asked

"Your aunts and uncles, So'Leah, Marc, Nikole, their parents, Jade, Eddie-"

"Ew Eddie ? isn't he like twenty something ?"

"He's twenty two, with three kids,"

"Oh nice, is he bringing his kids ?"

"Of course he is,"

"Cracking,"

After heading through the Lego store, dunnes, Tesco, just about every store, they had three bags each, full of presents they were heading back.

In the house, they snuck into Dee's room, which was locked, they began packing, her dad bought a few presents when she wasn't looking, they stayed in the bag, away from Dee's vision.

Hey, so far these past two days haven't been as tragic as usual, maybe Christmas wouldn't be as kriffed up as it was last year ?

Seven days until Christmas now, it was time for Dee and her dad to attach the Christmas lights to the house, it snowed heavily, this was both a con and a pro 

•  Pro : if someone slips it won't hurt

• Con : it's really easy to slip 

Dee was now on top of the roof, with a stapler in hand, lights in the other one, and a desperate hope to not slip and break her nose, she was on the very apex ? of the roof, stapling the fairy lights, So'Leah and her handmaidens, which were her old friends came by and laughed at her, which really wasn't helping

"HEY DODDY! DON'T SLIP!"

"FUCK OFF ROBI!"

Man, this really wasn't helping, she was now doing the lights on the sides of the roof, Dee accepted defeat and used the Force as a way to stablize herself on the roof of doom. The reason it was called the roof of doom was because once a guy she viewed as an uncle (So'Leah's dad) tried to do the same thing Dee was doing right now, except unlike Dee, he didn't harness the Force, so he slipped and landed up with a concussion, funny days.

"BUT DEE, WE'RE BEING SERIOUS, DON'T SLIP!" Ewa yelled up

"OKAY, Y'KNOW IF YOU DISTRACT ME LIKE THIS, I'M MORE LIKELY TO SLIP ?" She asked

"OH!"

That left her alone, her dad was decorating the fence with whatever the kark he was, she kept slowly inching herself across until a minivan pulled up, Dee felt a presense she didn't register as a Force presense since a good few months ago.

Eddie.

His wife, Veronica.

Their three children.

And their fuckass dog.

Which Dee's dog hated with his whole guts.

"Okay, we're fucked." she muttered to herself

"HEY LIL COUSIN, JUMP ON DOWN!" he yelled at her "LEAVE THE BIG STUFF TO ME!", if he insisted, Dee jumped off, using the Force to slow her landing

"Well Eddie, how have you been, oh and heres the stapler to the fairy lights," she said, handing over the stapler.

"I'm fantastic Dee, heres my children," 

"George," he pointed to the oldest "Watch out, her bites,"

"Crystal," he pointed to a middle girl, who was looking at her in awe

"And John, but we call him Johnnie," he said, pointing to a kid, who was sucking his thumb

"So kids, anything to say to your dad's cousin ?" he asked, the middle girl, Crystal, pointed at her

"That's Commander Sorin," Dee smiled awkwardly

"Yep, thats me, you can call me Dee," she answered, feeling rather awkward

"Cousin ! you didn't tell me you were a Commander!" 

"It's all over the holos I fear"

"So whats the pay ?"

"Kind of shit to be honest,"

"Where were you before this ?"

"The Temple,"

"Before the Temple ... ?"

"Ryloth.. or Felucia ? I'm not sure, one of those," she answered "Anyways, go climb up that ladder, and attach the fairylights," she continued as she sent him off, she watched her cousins wife exit the van, Veronica was a rather pretty woman, sucked that to Dee memory, she was rather a snob.

"Oh Dee," Veronica said rushing over- and hugging her ? Okay maybe Dee's memory was wrong "I'm so sorry we couldn't arrive earlier, Eddie was being well- Eddie, now how have you been ? I've heard of Naboo I'm so- so sorry,"

"It's okay, really, I forgot about it really," she replied, smiling "Now let's watch Eddie hang some fairylights," she added smirking, watching as Eddie slowly lost his footing.

It didn't take Eddie long to be a comedian, he was hanging on to the gutter now, Dee guessed he was trying to shimmy over towards the ladder, which was a very bad fucking move, as he dislocated their gutter and sent it fucking flying at their neighbours window, for karks sake Eddie.

Seven days left until a Christmas nightmare.

Dee Sorin and her dog were hiding in her room, her dog was hiding from Eddie dog, Dee was hiding from everyone.

She was working on a comm frequency, she called it Aegis, after the greek story of the shield, Dee Sorin used to love reading artciles about it

aegis, in ancient Greece, leather cloak or breastplate generally associated with Zeus, the king of the gods, and thus thought to possess supernatural power. Zeus’s daughter Athena adopted the aegis for ordinary dress. Athena placed on her aegis a symbolic representation of the severed head of the Gorgon Medusa. The head itself had been a gift from the Gorgon’s slayer, Perseus. Occasionally, another god used like Apollo in the Iliad, where it provoked terror. As early as Homer the aegis was more than an ordinary goatskin cloak, for it was decorated with golden tassels. A stout hide of this sort could turn a blow, like a buffcoat, and thus it often appears as armour. Later, after improvised this armour of this type went out of use, it was occasionally thought of as a metal corselet.

Dee Sorin always saw it as a way of protection, it protected the user, despite showing fear, it still protected them.

The comm frequency was incase of emergency situation, like- like Ahsoka gets framed of murder of something, it would most likely be Anakin though.

After working about three hours on this, typing in several codes, her personal code, her military authorisation code, her military code, and so on and on, until it was finally finished, she looked at it proudly.

The comm frequency had it's own symbols and code names for who was using it instead of using actual names, right now, only Dee and So'Leah were on it,

So'Leah's symbol was a crown,

Dee's was a four pointed star,

So'Leah was 'rígnae', 

Dee was 'Aegis' just like the comm frequency itself.

After spending several hours on this, she began to walk downstairs as a normal civil human being,

"Hey guys," she said walking down the stairs, her voice cracking slightly how embarrassing 

"Oh Dee watch out the last step-" her mum didn't get to finish her words as Dee slipped down the stairs

"OH FUCK!" she exclaimed as she landed finally, So'Leah gave her a hand up, which she took,

"Remember that one year when you slipped on squirrel piss ?"

"Ugh, don't remind me,"

Six days until Christmas.

five days and four days were just Dee, her brother and her mother cooking, Dee gave up and began to bake her dads birthday cake,

"That cake looks manky,"

"Shuddup you twerp,"

"You shut up,"

"No you!"

Yep, that was basically how it's been going, clearly, having a brother is not at all what Dee cracked it up to be internally.

It was going to get worse since on day four until Christmas, her grandparents arrived, according to So'Leah, so did hers, this meant that there was going to be another massive fight between families.

Dee's mothers family already tried to get her to backdown from being a Jedi

Dee's fathers family told her to continue her journey as a Jedi.

She politely said that she wanted to continue her journey as a Jedi.

After baking and spreading the cream on the cake, shockingly enough, she went back into her room and started rereading whatever books she felt like, she started and finished Percy Jackson and The Olympians, she set down her book and started remembering bittersweet memories.

What her mum told her about her trip to Alderaan.

When her dad took her to Onderon.

Onderon. Man, she walked over to her Computer Terminal, it was quite outdated in a way, it had colour but it was wall mounted, Dee didn't mind, at least it wasn't red or blue.

She then opened up the Military Clone Intelligence site and logged in.

She scrolled the lists of planets they had files on.

'Onderon'

RESTRICTED MILITARY SITUATION REPORT

Network: Military Clone Intelligence (MTI)
Access Level: Command Authority
Subject World: ONDERON
Timestamp: Current Rotation
Assessment Status: INFORMATIONAL ONLY

Planetary Overview

• Affiliation: Confederacy of Independent Systems

• Strategic Category: Political / Symbolic World

• Military Significance: Secondary

• Current Status: Stable (with noted internal variance)

Onderon remains under Separatist control. No active engagements reported. Civil infrastructure continues to function within projected norms.

Political Leadership

• Primary Representative: Senator Mina Bonteri

• Government Type: Monarchic–Separatist Hybrid

• Tenure: Ongoing

Senator Bonteri has maintained a measured and pragmatic public stance, frequently emphasizing the need for civilian stability and long-term planetary cohesion within the Confederacy.

Recent public messaging includes:

• Advocacy for reduced internal security visibility

• Statements favoring diplomatic solutions over military escalation

• Emphasis on Onderonian sovereignty within the CIS framework

These positions are consistent with Senator Bonteri’s established political philosophy and do not presently indicate deviation from Separatist alignment.

Security Posture

Routine security measures remain in place across government districts:

• Standard guard rotations

• Temporary access controls during closed senatorial sessions

• Limited use of contracted security personnel for public events

All security changes have been authorized through standard CIS administrative channels.
No alerts currently active.

Command Notes

Planetary conditions assessed as within normal operational parameters.
No indicators of imminent instability detected.
Senator Bonteri’s position appears secure.

Analyst Margin Note:
“Onderon remains calm. Recommend continued observation only.”

 

 

Just what Dee expected, it wouldn't take long for Onderon to take place with the Separatists, it kind of stung in a way, she loved Onderon, not as much as Eeth or Coruscant, but it was her first ever planet she visited, except from Eeth.

With that depressing realisation that was the end of three days until Christmas.

She sort of didn't have things to do, so she researched where the clone wars began, Geonosis.

'Geonosis'

RESTRICTED MILITARY SITUATION REPORT

Network: Military Clone Intelligence (MTI)
Access Level: Command / Flag Officer
Subject World: GEONOSIS
Timestamp: Current Rotation
Assessment Status: ACTIVE MONITORING

Planetary Overview

• Affiliation: Confederacy of Independent Systems

• System: Geonosis System

• Region: Outer Rim

• Environment: Arid, subterranean hive-based ecology

• Species: Geonosian

Geonosis remains a core Separatist industrial world, central to droid manufacturing, weapons development, and experimental engineering. Despite prior Republic incursion, Separatist infrastructure continues to regenerate at a notable pace.

Strategic Importance

• Primary Value: Industrial / Manufacturing

• Secondary Value: Research & Development

• Symbolic Value: High (Origin point of large-scale droid production)

Loss of Geonosis would significantly impair CIS supply chains. As such, Separatist leadership is expected to prioritize retention and concealment over overt defense.

Military Infrastructure

• Extensive subterranean factories

• Hardened hive complexes resistant to orbital bombardment

• Rapid-repair droid foundries

• Bio-organic architecture complicating conventional mapping

Republic reconnaissance confirms adaptive factory relocation following each major engagement.

Engineering Corps Note:
“Geonosian construction recovers faster than we can catalog it.”

 

Enemy Force Composition

• B1 and B2 battle droids (standard)

• Heavy deployment of droidekas in tunnel networks

• Geonosian warrior castes providing aerial support

• Experimental units reported but unconfirmed

Command-and-control nodes remain decentralized, reducing the effectiveness of targeted strikes.

Recent Developments

• Increased shipment traffic leaving the system under heavy escort

• Temporary shutdowns of surface-level foundries followed by subterranean reactivation

• Sensor interference consistent with new camouflage technologies

No single development indicates escalation; collectively, they suggest ongoing adaptation.

Republic Activity

Republic task forces have conducted one assault with very little success. However:

• Permanent occupation deemed cost-ineffective

• Casualty rates remain high

• Strategic gains are temporary

Geonosis is currently classified as “Contain, not Conquer.”

Command Notes

Geonosis should be treated as a persistent threat rather than an immediate battlefield objective.
Engagements are expected to remain attritional and psychologically taxing.

Analyst Margin Note:
“Geonosis does not need to win battles. It only needs to survive them.”

 

 

Well this is lovely, thankfully, she doubted there would be a second battle on Geonosis for a while atleast.

With a sigh she powered off the Computer Terminal and headed down to breakfast.

"Whats with the long face ?" her dad teased

"There's probably going to be another attack on Geonosis," she groaned

"So like a counter attack?" Leo asked

"If I had to take my best guess, yes,"

"Will you be involved ?" he asked again

"Big chance," she answered, her grandma from her mum's side gasped

"Millie! you need to pull her out of this I tell you, it's going to be dangerous, she's just a girl," her grandma exclaimed to her mum

"Grandma, I appreciate your care really, but I can hold my own against Grievous, an attack on Geonosis would probably be like a few long hours to a few months for me," she answered, considering how an attack on Geonosis would either last a few hours or a few months.

Her grandma, promptly fainted, Dee raised her eyebrow.

"Mum! wake up!" her mum hissed 

"Anyways, I'm going to hang out with So'Leah," she told them after grabbing an apple and heading out the door.

Her and So'Leah headed out into town, just to hang out really with no purpose, they met a few friends before heading back.

When they entered Dee's house they saw everyone.

Like Dee's grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, distant relatives she didn't remember.

Same for So'Leahs.

"Okay, whats going on ?" So'Leah asked

"I got a bonus," her dad, Oskar told her cheerfully as Dee and So'Leah went to stand in with the crowd

"With this money, I shall fund a pool and a landing lane, so that our daughters can visit whenever they wish to!" he promised while opening the letter, then his Force presence dropped

"Oskar. what's wrong ?" Dee asked, sensing his present.

Oskar cleared his throat "If anyone wants to give me a Christmas present, send me my boss, Chris Clearwater, House 13, Clearwater Street the big white mansion with a bow on his head, so I can tell him what a no good, dicksucking, useless, scumbag, worthless, ballless, soulless, spineless, withering, dickless, Penisrubber, Cumstacking COWARD HE IS!" he finished before stomping upstairs and dropping the letter, Dee walked over and picked it up.

"A full year round subscription to Amazon Prime, Yikes," she said, reading off the letter.

Two Days till Christmas.

It was one day until Christmas, which meant last minute decisions, which often resulted in big disasters.

What worried Dee in was the Eddie has been gone since Oskars little... speech, and hasn't returned.

Dee and her dad were on their way to pick up last minute presents for people they 'accidentally' forgot about.

They only knew one thing that Alex, So'Leah's mother repeated to them 'Get uncle Fred some cigar'

Which made Dee's dad ask 'Won't that make this his last Christmas ?'

'Hopefully'

Lovely family dynamics, the Sa'Lennice and Sorin households were like one giant one, everyone saw eachother as a relative of somesort.

For example, So'Leah and Dee saw eachother as sort of soul sisters, they might not be blood related, but they were a family in a way.

But both the Sa'Lennice and Sorin family trees extend so long and far it might be possible they actually are related by some thirteenth cousin, twice removed, spice runners, fifth sister in laws cousin, or something like that.

After heading back, Dee got to packing presents again, they celebrated her dads birthday, which didn't go well.

Uncle Fred, during the family picture that would go on the wall, had a cigar in his back pocket. They were standing behind the tree. Take a wild guess on how that went.

This sent Oskar into a psychotic break down so he chopped the snobby neighbours tree down, another worse thing, Eddie still hasn't returned.

But hey, atleast they had a tree ?

Tomorrow was Christmas.

Ah Christmas Eve, the only time when you can legally starve yourself for a whole day.

Dee Sorin was building a gingerbread train with So'Leah Sa'Lennice when she saw the bright flash of a camera shutter.

"Grandmaaa," So'Leah groaned as the picture was getting printed

"Oh dears, you two look so cute,"

Dee looked at the picture, she looked constipated, her tongue was out trying to pump the icing out of the bag while Leah' was hyperfixated on the bag of sweets, curtsy of the whole 'no eating' thing.

"So cute," Dee grumbled as she continued pipping the icing out, as Leah's grandma left, Dee voiced her concern

"Hey Soso' whats the chance Eddie is actually kidnapping Chris Clearwater ?" Dee asked

"Knowing your cousin, pretty fucking big,"

"Your words bring so much comfort," Dee teased as the icing bag exploded in her hands "WHAT THE KARKING HELL ?!" 

So'Leah, the ever loving karkass shit just laughed as Dee scraped the icing off her fingers. This was going to be a long day.

A good ten hours after that little incident the Sorin and Sa'Lennice households were now enjoying a lovely dinner.

What was making it lovely was that Dee was stepping on Leo's and Marc's toes whenever she felt them shift in the Force.

Normally there would be potatoes being pelted at people at full speed by Marc, now with Leo the chances of this was quadrupled, Dee was on duty to use the Force to try prevent this. 

She was actually doing a decent job, until Eddie arrived.

With Chris Clearwater.

And Chris Clearwater had a big red bow on his forehead.

"Merry Christmas Uncle Oskar!" Eddie told Oskar, Chris zeroed his eyes on Dee and So'Leah

"Senator Sa'Lennice ?! Commander Dee Sorin ?!" Chris exclaimed, So'Leah covered her eyes with her hand, Dee stood up and walked over to the sink, whistling trying ignore the big red flashing problem right in her main sweep of vision.

She heard Oskar ramble about apologies until he mentioned her name 

"hmm ?" she asked

"I said, Dee Sorin-" Dee help her hand of to stop him, she squinted at the tree, there was a big bushy tail-

"SQUIRREL IN THE TREE!" she yelled before fucking booking it into the hallway,

Everyone followed suit, including Chris,

"Well dear granddaughter, since you are a Commander I'm sure you can deal with this ?" her grandpa asked 

"No I can't!" she replied, using her dads body as a human shield, 

"Why ?"

"I. Don't. Like. Squirrels. They scare me," she replied 

"Why ?"

"SHE SLIPPED ON SQUIRREL PISS ONCE AT SCHOOL," So'Leah answered, also hiding behind someone

"THEY'RE JUST RATS WITH PRETTY PRIVILEGE!" she screeched back, scooching behind her dad and mum now.

Luckily, Eddie was the man with the plan and grabbed the squirrel, spinning it over his head and fucking pelting it out the door.

"Well as such an experience is- unexpected, I shall give you your winter bonus Oskar, with a 40% extra increase," Chris answered, he mumbled something else on about Dee's name, well her last name, but nobody heard him.

Everyone was going around hugging and kissing each other, until the fucking Eeth cops arrived, Dee stood at the front, having her lightsaber clearly displayed up at the front.

"HANDS UP- COMMANDER SORIN ?" The cop yelled

"That's me- look, here's Chris, let him talk everything out," she said grabbing the man up.

Luckily after a few minutes- maybe an hour ? everything was sorted and the presents were being opened.

It was a rather crazy Christmas, but nothing less Dee Sorin expected from a Sorin - Sa'Lennice shared Christmas.

Chapter Text

After arriving back to Coruscant, instead of having to answer questions, she had to do his little clone-shooting-at-you-drill, which was arguably worse then torture. 

Dee found her reaction time slowly improving for the better, but it still needed a bit of work. 

Later on, while everyone was asleep, she managed to sneak So'Leah into her apartment and they were now setting the tree up, 

Christmas may be over, but normal families left their trees up for at least month after Christmas happens. 

"Dee watch out!" So'Leah whisper-hissed at Dee as she nearly tripped over the packing paper. 

"I know I know," Dee whisper-hissed back while putting tape on Ahsoka's present, 

Dee and So'Leah decided on getting Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka their Lego ships, which Dee thought was cute, also so that she could build them,

 She already had hers and theirs on display in her room. 

The tree, after suffering two idiots trying to combine braincells to wrap the fairy lights around it, looked decent enough. 

So'Leah and Dee were nearly done with the first part of their plan when Anakin Skywalker walked in.

 "Be. Very. Still," Dee told So'Leah, before noticing Anakin looked- distressed ? He grabbed something from the forks, spoons and knifes drawer. 

"Hold on, continue setting up the tree, I need to check up what Anakin's playing at." She muttered before standing up and walking towards Anakin's door, she looked down at her pyjama shorts and white socks before going in. 

"Hey Sky... guy ?" Dee started while watching Anakin stab himself constantly in the back of his neck with... a spoon. 

wait was he trying to hurt himself ?! 

Dee slowly walked over and grabbed his hand with the spoon, which resulted in Anakin jolting awake and gasping and flinching back when he saw her. 

"Anakin ?" she asked quietly, holding her hands up so for some reason he doesn't think she's armed.

 "T-tiny what are y-you doing h-h-here ?" he asked, stuttering over his words a few times, 

"I followed you ? after you went to grab a spoon for some reason ?" she answered, confused yet worried

 "Oh," he muttered, glaring with distaste at the spoon. 

Dee sat down on the bed beside him "I'm not trying to pry at your private business but you looked really-" she started before she got cut off

 "Listen Dee, you're right, this is my private business so don't try pry into it!" he snapped at her, she flinched back and started to walk back out.

 "Okay then.. just know- never mind, goodnight Anakin," she replied, trying to continue faking happiness before closing the door. 

Dee was going to act that didn't hurt her a lot

(which it did considering that in her mind she was trying to help someone)

Dee walked back over to So'Leah, who didn't question what happened and asked her "So, ready to decorate the Temple ?" 

The Temple got finished fast, for some reason the Temple Guards (who usually in Dee's mind are usually a fat bunch prick) helped them out A LOT, for example, redirecting Mace Windu and Khi Adi Mundi. 

After they finished, So'Leah snuck out of the Temple and Dee snuck into her quarters. 

She looked at the clock 0400 great Obi-Wan was going to wake her in two hours. 

She decided to get as much sleep as she could before she was going to be brutally woken up, she regretted closing her eyes. 

Master Skywalker, there are too many of them what are we going to do?” she saw a youngling ask Anakin in her dream,

But this wasn’t Anakin... he didn’t feel like Anakin when she saw his face she saw pain and anger, he ignited his saber a false blue light filling the room and then– she couldn’t believe what she saw.

The next thing was on an old fiery place where is this place ..?

She felt as if her soul and light was being sucked outside of her.

She heard herself say through her eyes  “SKYGUY WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?” She asked him

"I’M DOING WHAT IS RIGHT YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME?”

betrayed him ? when has she ever betrayed him ? She'd do anything but betray him ?

“YOU’VE ONLY DONE THAT TO YOURSELF “ She yelled back she felt a hand wrap around her neck

“IF YOU DO NOT SEE MY VISION DEE SORIN” she felt the hand tighten “THEN YOU MUST DIE” she couldn’t breathe, she couldn't feel anything other then her throat getting cracked.

"Anakin! I won't fight you!" her future self yelled through the pain

why would she fight him ? 

(despite the fact he felt different about doing the same to her)

"LIAR, you always lie Dee Sorin," Anakins voice spat at her, his face twisting in anger 

"I DON'T, I NEVER WILL, ANAKIN PLEASE YOU-" her breath was going out fast, she felt herself fade in and out of conscience 

It came to her mind all too fast. Anakin Skywalker was going to kill her in the future 

"Dee ?"

She was going to die- she fails!

 "Dee!"

Anakin turns to the darkside! he's a sith! 

"DEE!"

 Anakin begins to pull her towards his bright blue lightsaber and it impales her right in the stomach! Anakin-'s right there.. she moves herself right back against the wall, she notices Ahsoka and Obi-Wan there too, she keeps her focus on anyone or thing except Anakin. 

"Dee are you okay ?" Obi-Wan asks worriedly

"Of course why wouldn't I be ?" Dee asks back, wiping her robotnic arm over her forehead, 

"Because you were yelling- like full on screaming in terror," Ahsoka answers sitting beside her, 

"You scared us for a moment Tiny, we thought you were getting stabbed or something," Ironic of Anakin Skywalker to say that, in response she only nods. 

"Dee, do you want to tell us what happened ?" Obi-Wan tried to pry, 

“N-no sor-r-ry I c-can deal-l with i-it," she stutters out, feeling red up her cheeks at her stuttering. 

"Okay then.. we're always here," she nods at Ahsoka while they all leave, 

Dee lays down on her bed while considering what happened in the dream.

•  Okay so Anakin fucking turns to the Darkside 

• She get's stabbed by him 

• She's going to be scared of him for now 

Yay! this is such a lovely way to start the afterparty of Christmas in Coruscant! 

Dee woke up again for breakfast and sat down in her usual spot, beside Ahsoka, in front of Obi-Wan.

 "So Dee, whats with the tree ?" Anakin asked 

dontlookdontlookdontlookdontlookdontlook 

"It's a tradition, every year you put a tree up and Santa visits and you get presents," Dee answered 

"Where’s our presents!" Ahsoka asked

 "under the tree," 

“Theres only three," Obi-Wan observed

 "Yeah, I already got mine, if you excuse me, I need to go do stuff around the Temple," she said standing up, and leaving her breakfast unfinished. 

After Dee left, Ahsoka rounded on Anakin. "Go after her," she told him

 "What?" he asked 

"I agree with Ahsoka, clearly whatever had given Dee that nightmare was based on you," Obi-Wan added thoughtfully

 "How ?" Anakin asked again 

"Masterrr, she flinched back when you spoke to her and didn't look you in the eyes," Ahsoka groaned 

"Fine then, what do you want me to do,"

 it's not like that also Dee invaded his own privacy 

"Just go around the Temple after her, when she faints bring her back here and me and Master Obi-Wan will leave so you guys can figure it out," 

"Great okay... how do you know she's going to faint?" 

"She didn't even bother start eating breakfast."

 Dee was starting to regret not eating her breakfast, but whatever, she'll deal with it, she had much bigger, much worse, things on her mind.

 She wandered into the training room and pulled out the Darth Maul training droid. 

Her master Obi-Wan fought and defeated Maul on Naboo once, so naturally, Dee wanted to replicate such a fight.

 As the droid with a blazing yellow stick ran at her, she leaped to the side and struck from the side.

 The droid slammed down hard on her, she felt herself getting pressed into the ground, she kicked her feet up at what would be the stomach of the droid. 

The droid leapt up and Dee scurried from under it, she slashed at his ankles, only one got hurt which was good, because he was now off balance for the most part. 

Dee ran around to the back of the droid and slashed at his back, making it stumble farther, once she ran back from the droid charged her with anger.

 While blocking the rather incompetent slashes and stabs she saw the droid's ankle starting to wobble, here it goes. 

She flipped up in the air and kicked him square in the chest, making it fall back, she pressed her lightsaber at it's throat, she did this fight again. 

Again. 

Again. 

Again. 

Again. 

She didn't know what round she was on, she was pouring sweat off her, but she was slowly getting more able to be able to fight the droid faster. 

Is this how Obi-Wan feels making her restart the training exercises ?

 She could barely feel her legs at this point, and her arms, before she could start the droid again, dizziness took over and she collapsed. 

well, time to wake up in medbay. 

The next time Dee Sorin woke up wasn't in medbay, she wasn't in the training room either, she was in her bed ? 

"Ah tiny! you woke up," she heard Anakin's voice exclaim,

oh great

"Now, why were you so distressed at the thought of a Sith dying ?" Oh Fuck…

 "It wasn't a Sith when I looked at it," she mumbled looking at her hands, 

"Then who was it ?" 

"It-it-it... I can't tell you," she managed to get out 

"Why ?"

 good question why can't she tell him ? was it because she worried it would make him turn faster ? would he not believe her ? or would be believe her and would it hurt him ?

 "M-my dream," she began, she felt weight at the side of her bed, right beside her head, "I-In that dream, y-you- no we were on this r-rocky planet with lava-a and then y-you," she stopped for a moment, testing her waters on how to explain this

 "y-you were really mad, you kept yelling at me while I begged about something and-and then," she looked at her wall, anywhere but his face, the face of her future murderer, 

Unluckily, Dee felt a hand go around her chin (just like the dream, just like the dream)- and lift it towards Anakin's eyes, 

She looked desperately anywhere, trying to make eye contact with anything. 

"What happened Tiny?" he continued asking, using the Force to turn her chin
