Padawan to Knight

 

Summery:

19 BBY

After a successful mission to Cato Nemodia, Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker were called back to the Jedi temple to investigate a terrorist attack on the complex itself, their investigation led to the capture of Letta Turmond, a possible suspect.

As the pair went Ahsoka started to feel physically sick as her stomach ached for no reason, as well as feeling drozy despite not being tired. Anakin wanted Ahsoka to interrogate the suspect but as she went she felt great pain before fainting.

The dream that followed was terrible and realistic, horrifying as well. It was to fearsome to comprehend, only knowing that she was brutally executed in the dream by the republic she dearly loved, as she was executed in the dream she woke up and was relieved that it never happened.

She woke up in the halls of healing next to Jedi master Taral, an old friend who used to babysit her as a kid and had a brother-like relationship with. When she asked where was Anakin, Taral said he was arrested for killing the suspect(allegedly), but she felt that wasn’t true.

She was set to clear her masters name, she felt that she needed to talk to her friend Barriss first though, when she went to her room she found it was vacant, however after some digging she found wat seems to be plans about executing the planned Jedi temple bombing.

She presented this to the council and they ordered her to find Barrise along with master Taral for help. She needed to find a lead to where Barriss could go, So She went to Japhet shop to get intel, after introducing him to Taral, Japhet summarised that the only place a fugitive could go to leave the planet would be a quiet former spaceport nearby.

Quickly enough they got a message from the Corusaunt guard that Barriss was heading that way, so both Jedi went their(Taral also called for backup), Ahsoka got their first and soon enough got into a duel with her former friend, who was wearing a mask.

A heated duel happened and Ahsoka questioned why she betrayed the Jedi and framed Anakin, She said that the Jedi has lost his way; however she was planning for Ahsoka to take the fall, but instead Anakin somehow got in the way.

Ahsoka was heartbroken and finally recognised what her dream was referring to, but she had little time as Barriss slammed her to a wall and was about to strike her down as ‘mercy’ until she forces pushed her back, Offee would have retaliated but she was subdued by electric Judgement made used by master Taral.

Back at the Temple, Ahsoka was getting her knighting ceremony, Anakin was their to watch as his name was cleared and he was happy for her. After the meeting Plo Koon went up to her and asked if she was alright, she was but requested to Koon that she had missions only on Corusaunt for a while.

Ahsoka proceeded to go to the detention centre where she met her former friend, she could barely hold her anger as she questioned Barriss on why she wanted to kill her, Barrise said that she fears a dark presence wants her for some purpose and she was saving her from that fate.

But Ahsoka dismissed her and went. She proceeded to got to Japhet’s shop and tell him the news, he was also happy for her and Ahsoka  was looking forward to spending more time with him, as a perk obviously.

Notes:

The main story of Padawan to Knight is more or less a "what if Anakin was framed" while Ahsoka nightmare is (a well hated) "what if Ahsoka was found guilty" scenario.

Also speaking of Padawan to Knight, the most likely suspect for making Ahsoka faint and saving her from trouble would have been Darth Cardinal (unsurprisingly) because he would have enough foresight to do such a feet from all the way from Locnull.

Though it’s not clear what darkness Barriss Offee was warning Ahsoka about, considering the rest of the  lore through character histories, It’s entirely possible as a sub mission for Barriss then either show that the Jedi became corrupt is to possibly save Ahsoka from her purpose in the Rhandslayer prophecy, however it’s clear she doesn’t known Cardinal is watching over her former friend.

Ahsoka becoming a Knight and staying on Corusaunt is quite different to the actual canon ending of this arc in the clone wars where she leaves the Jedi order. This makes sense as she was never framed in this continuity, it also make Darth Vader rise less complex though.
