Third Person POV
Y/N was rushed to the Jedi temple, there was no doubt that he was gonna die without treatment, the medical could only do so much as the metal chunk he removed from himself was possibly infected, it used bacta to heal burns and other wounds he had taken, but the shock from being stabbed and the gas he inhaled didn't help him, the girls were fine due to just needing fresh air to help them, however, not everything between them was fine, Aliiza was currently piloting the ship while Ahsoka was with Y/N holding his hand, his breathing was harsh and horrible, he had to have an oxygen mask on due to the breathing difficulties, Ahsoka couldn't help but get angry at what she saw.
Ahsoka: I can't believe she did that! She just did it like it was nothing, Y/N, you wouldn't have done that, not to me, right?
She looked on as he was still sleeping, it was clear he was in pain, but to what degree she did not know, she felt the ship land, she got up and made the bed float and moved Y/N to the com room, there she was met with HK.
HK: Is master's condition improving?
Ahsoka: No, (looking down) he's stable, but I don't think the pain is doing him any good.
HK: It's likely do to the amount of harm and stress he was going through at the time.
Ahsoka: (looking at HK) He was stressed?
HK: Yes, likely due to what the Copilot said, I heard your argument, and I do not understand the problem--
Ahsoka: (loudly) What she did to him was wrong! What she did to me!
HK: Maybe if you acted with care, she would have understood, but your reaction was... explicit.
Flashback, Ahsoka's POV.
I had just witnessed Aliiza kiss Y/N, on the lips as well, she wasn't even trying to resuscitate him, she was KISSING HIM! I forced pulled her off him and went see to him, I could see his eyes were closing and opening, he was in and out of delirium, I turned to Aliiza who had gotten up and looked stunned at me before becoming mad.
Aliiza: (annoyed) What the hell was that for!?!
Ahsoka: (angrily) What do you think you're doing?!?
Aliiza: Was it not obvious?!?
HK: Quiet! Master condition is worsening, I will not tolerate his neglect!
Aliiza: (smirking) Maybe if Ahsoka wasn't so jealous we'd be on the ship by now.
HK: I do not care, Copilot, Bring the ship around, Togruta, help me stabilize Master.
I glared at Aliiza before she went back to the ship, HK went over Y/N's vitals and saw they were erratic, I couldn't help but cry a few tears as I saw the state he was in...
Flashback over, Third Person POV
The ship came into the temple hanger, Aliiza had asked for medical to be ready, Obi-wan, Plo-Koon And Anakin, as well as the Jedi healer, Rig Nema watched the ship land, After a minute the ramp opens and Everyone left the ship, the Jedi saw Y/N been transported on a mobile bed in a bloody state, Anakin noticed his breathing was off and was the first to inquire to the group.
Anakin: What happened to him?!?
HK went past with Y/N not wanting to speak, Rig Nema began to assist HK and brought him away from the group, Obi wan looked concerned at Ahsoka.
Obi-wan: Ahsoka, mind answering your master's question?
Ahsoka: Oh, right, (Shaking her head) sorry, we uhh, we didn't know what was going to happen, someone set traps for us, almost killed me, Aliiza and.. you saw Y/N.
Plo: Was this the same person who contacted us originally?
Aliiza: (speaking up) No, it was Jabba the Hutt, he and his goons were operating there, turns out there was a slave operation going on behind his back with the homeless. Said he wanted us to remove the group and give the place back to him.
Anakin: And you just gave it to him?
Ahsoka: No master, Y/N set terms for Jabba, he wanted his commander back and Y/N set terms for us all, Aliiza got her bounty removed, The people would be taken care of and given medical treatment, and Y/N would make a small profit.
Aliiza: Whoa, you don't tell them everything now...
Ahsoka glared at Aliiza...
Obi-wan: I see... if Jabba is in control of the port, then he is likely using it for smuggling spice.
Anakin: Damn Hutt using innocent people to hide what he's really doing...
Plo-Koon: (looking at Aliiza) How bad was Y/N's injuries?
Aliiza: He got Impaled, he's lucky it didn't go through his entire body...
Ahsoka: That's not all masters, the person responsible for the injuries is they guy called Eliot...
Obi-wan: (Surprised) The man from the depot we secured when Aliiza was kidnapped?
Aliiza: That's him, turns out he was planning to use a toxic gas on the surface, he never got to since we arrived, he then used it on us and Y/N in a sick game of his.
Plo-Koon: Where any of you exposed to the gas?
Aliiza: Maybe a little...
Obi-wan: Then both of you go to the med bay, Even a little could do damage to your bodies, we'll send a team to investigate this gas, and send relief to those who need it.
Ahsoka: Thank you.
Anakin: I'll go with you, hopefully Y/N is talkative today.
With a bow of respect, the group leave the Jedi masters, the trip was short and quiet, Anakin could sense Ahsoka and Aliiza were angry at one another, but for what he didn't know, he tried to ask about it.
Anakin: Sooo... how did Y/N get messed up the way he did?
Aliiza: Eliot had a mech or something he was in, he caught us all off guard, Y/N saved us from being gassed most of the time.
Ahsoka: We had to leave him with Eliot for a moment, that was a mistake.
Anakin: Oh, How couldn't Y/N fight back then?
Aliiza: He was gassed a lot more than any of us two, enough to kill anyone that isn't a Jedi or sith in his case.
Anakin: But surely he could have found away to defeat Eliot.
Aliiza: It took HK and Y/N together to kill Eliot, if HK hadn't left the ship...
Aliiza thought of the very impact it would have had on her, She secretly thanks HK for acting when he did, Ahsoka was also grateful, but wished it was her that was there, Ahsoka shook her head.
Ahsoka: Let's just see him...
Ahsoka and the group carried on in silence till they reached the medical room, When the door opened for them they heard groaning and muffled sounds as they see Y/N on the bed with his cloak and shirt off and a oxygen mask on his face as Rig Nema tried to stop him from squirming.
Rig: Damn it child, stay still!
Anakin: Master Nema? Is it alright if we come in?
Rig: (looking over to them) Oh, of course, Master Skywalker, I see you also brought guests...
Anakin: I need them both checked for gas inhalation.
Rig: Ah, if the lovely children could take a seat on the spare beds, I'll be right there.
She directed them to spare beds in the room, they did so taking a bed at each side of Y/N, they both looked at him as they could he was in pain, he wasn't fully there either.
Anakin: How bad is it?
Rig: He is lucky that is for sure, the toxic gas was stopping his lungs from working, I'd say he would have a few minutes left without fresh oxygen.
Ahsoka: That bad?
Rig: Yes, the fact he's able to move like he is, is highly disturbing...
Anakin: Do you think... do you think the dark side kept him alive?
Reg: That's a possibility I haven't factored in yet, he does seem angry, but it's less anger and more pain...
Aliiza: When will he be up again?
Rig: I give it two weeks before he can walk again, and maybe a few days after he can go on missions, but right now, he's limited to his bed.
Y/N let out a frustrated growl, the others noticed his anger. Ahsoka went over to the side oh him and pat him on his arm softly.
Ahsoka: Y/N, your fine now, no one can hurt you here.
Y/N looked at Ahsoka, his eyes still crimson but something felt off, they well dull, Rig then attached another canister to his oxygen tank.
Rig: You won't feel a thing Y/N, just go to sleep.
The canister released sleeping gas into Y/N's mask, he tried to resit at first but his eyes rolled back as he fell asleep.
Rig: Thank goodness, I thought he'd fight it.
Anakin: And if he did?
Rig: That's why we have Needles, It goes downhill from there, now, let me check up on you girls.
Rig went up to Ahsoka who was close to her and used a device to check on her lungs, after a moment she gets feedback on the device.
Rig: Well as long as you don't do any major exercises you'll be fine, now on to you.
She looks at Aliiza and goes over to her, she does the same thing and gets her diagnosis back.
Rig: Same with you, you both will recover from the gas intake in about a day or so, you should be thankful that it wasn't as bad as the young man here.
Anakin: Well at least that's out the way, we happen to have just had a delay on the Umbara Assault, thankfully you guys get a month before we go back into the fight.
Aliiza: We do?
Ahsoka: Great...
Anakin: Well I'll leave you two with Y/N, And I guess HK as well...
HK: I will take that as an insult Jedi...
Anakin just smirked and left the room, Rig went off into an office leaving the group alone. HK then looked towards The girls from the entrance.
HK: Clarification: The next time you both risk My master's life because of a stupid quarrel, I shall personally execute you Both...
Aliiza: (shocked) Whoa HK! It wasn't just a quar--
HK: --Your bickering nearly killed My Master. I shall not take any excuse, If this happens again, it will be the last of it.
Ahsoka: (unsure) I don't think Y/N would allow you to kill us...
HK: My programming allows me to overwrite this feature, he shall not die while my programming is still running.
Aliiza: Okay, okay, we get it...
Ahsoka: (Mad) Do you?
Aliiza: Huh?
Ahsoka: Do you get what it really means Aliiza, distracting us with that "mouth" of yours?
Ahsoka was still clearly angered by the fact Aliiza had gone and done what she did back on the platform, Aliiza raised an eyebrow at Ahsoka before smirking.
Aliiza: Oh you're still jealous about the kiss~
Ahsoka: It's not that! Your timing was poor and worst of all, Y/N didn't want you all over him!
Aliiza: Aww this is cute, I didn't think Jedi could form attachments, Y/N can though, cause he ain't a Jedi, is he?
Ahsoka: (walking up to her) Why I should--
???: Do what?
Just then, Sera, Barris and A bunch of younglings had shown up and the door, surprisingly the girls. Catching Ahsoka off guard.
Ahsoka: (surprised) What-t are you guys going here?
Barris: We have a training session with...
Barris and Sera notice the condition Y/N was in, Sera then took the younglings out the room.
Sera: Let's wait outside, Barris?
Barris: One moment...
Sera nods and leaves the room, Barris then looks worried at Y/N.
Barris: What happened to him?!?
Ahsoka: A long story, but making it short, Y/N got hurt protecting us.
Barris: Who did this to him?
Aliiza: The same guy who helped capture me for the Black sun, remember the blonde guy?
Barris: That scoundrel?!? What happened to him?
HK: Master and I eliminated him, he shall not be a problem now.
Barris: You didn't try to take him in?
Ahsoka: We tried once, we got nowhere.
Aliiza: Yeah, better have him killed than run around putting people in cages.
Barris: Oh, I see you still hold on to that memory...
Ahsoka: Oh, the warehouse...
There was brief silence before Aliiza got up from her bed.
Aliiza: I'm gonna head back to the ship, anyone needs me I'm there...
Barris: Oh, see you later then...
Aliiza left without looking back, HK followed her with his eyes but didn't budge, it had its priority straight.
Barris: What was all that about?
Ahsoka: I-- we had a disagreement on the mission, it was right after Y/N had been hurt...
Barris: Are you not friends anymore?
Ahsoka: I don't know, I rather keep my distance till Y/N wakes up, damn it....
Barris: Look, I'm sure whatever it is will be cleared up, I'm gonna go now, if you ever need someone to speak to, you know where to find me.
Ahsoka: Thanks Barris, See you later.
Barris: Take care now...
Rig then came in, she saw Barris and then face palm herself lightly.
Rig: I just remembered what it was, we have a training session, tell the younglings we'll have to do it somewhere else, this room is.. occupied.
Barris: Of course, see you later Ahsoka...
Barris and Rig then left the room, Ahsoka sighed as she got up and went to Y/N's side, thinking about what happened, she was gonna kiss him but shook her head and left, leaving HK behind the room with Y/N...
First Person POV 2 Weeks Later
I had been kept in this damn bed for over two weeks, recovery was horrible, I had wasn't allowed to walk anywhere, and had to constantly get dragged to a bathroom to do my business, the only real place I could find silence from all the annoying younglings that kept coming by, The only visitors I had were Members of the Jedi council, mainly Obi-wan, Plo and Yoda, HK was forced to go back to the ship. Rig Nema wasn't impressed when I tried to leave, so now I'm here with her bugging at me like a lothal cat.
Rig: I can't just let you go, your wounds have only just stabilized, your lungs, however, however are quite healthy now.
Y/N: Good enough for me, I hate it here.
Rig: You could have been polite you know?
Y/N: I hate being kept cooped up like a prisoner.
Rig: You mean a "Patient"...
Y/N: (rolling my eyes) Same thing.
Rig: (Sighs) Okay, if your saying your good now, can you stand up slowly for me?
I slowly get up off my bed and do so, I could feel my legs were weak and numb, but nothing I couldn't handle.
Rig: Good, now walk around the table if you would.
I do as she said and walk around the table, she then does something on her data tablet and looked at me.
Rig: Do you feel any pain in your legs when walking?
Y/N: Nope, just a little numb.
Rig: That is expected, anything you wish to bring up?
Y/N: No, can I leave now?!?
Rig: Yes, yes, just don't do any activities that will strain your muscles around your chest you should be fine, I suggest a week of time off and you should be okay.
Y/N: That is good news.
Rig: Now you can leave, just don't come back in a worse state.
Y/N: Again, I won't.
I leave the med bay, and after two weeks of crap I finally left, it was worse than being frozen, cause I had to deal with everyone else, I walked through the of the Jedi temple, mi ding my business and thinking about what do, for some reason I felt off, as if some impending doom was approaching, I tried to shake it off as I headed towards my ship, after a while I found the hanger and went up the ramp of my ship to find HK standing by it.
HK: Master, has that wretched Jedi allowed you to return to us?
Y/N: Yeah, I saved myself, after two weeks of horrible treatment I am free...
HK: That is good news, shall go back and poison their bacta supply?
Y/N: Nah, don't do that please, I rather not have the Jedi drag me anywhere else.
HK: A shame, I take it you will be recovering for the next few days?
Y/N: Yeah, a week at the max, where's our Copilot?
HK: She is in the Cockpit, she has been avoiding the Jedi for a while now, as well as you.
Y/N: Okay, weird for her to avoid me and the Jedi at the same time.... Anything unusual happen?
HK: Yes, Actually, you Copilot and your.... "pet" is--
Y/N: HK! Don't ever say that again! She isn't a toy nor a pet!
HK: Hmm, interesting, that is the terms you would normally use for Orion's company.
Y/N: Orion isn't here HK, I care deeply for Ahsoka, unlike those whores that lounged about in his Office.
HK: I see, the ugly word you call "Love" is in play here... It disgusts me.
Y/N: Because you simply wish for it to become non-existent.
HK: Meatbags should only reproduce for future needs, it should not be a source of "Love", it should be for the benefits of the empire!
Y/N: (sighs) HK, erase all programming about Love, or go talk to a counselor or something, I need to find out why they're not on speaking terms.
HK: You do that master, I shall check on our weapon systems.
HK then went off to do its own thing, I just shrugged as I went off to find Aliiza, I went into the com room and then the hallway to the cockpit, once I arrived at the doorway I found Aliiza tinkering with the ships Navigation computer, however... the way she was doing it was very.... suggestive, she also had her jacket off revealing her arms and shoulders and a lot more of her torso, I cleared my throat before I got any ideas.
Aliiza: (turning to me) Y/N! Your alive! I mean, of course you are, you've been recovering for a while right?
Y/N: Yes I have, I also know that I never saw you Or Ahsoka during that time, any reason why?
Aliiza: Oh, right, that... me and Ahsoka may or may not have had an argument.
'Argument? What could girls with such a good and caring friendship argue about'
Y/N: About what? What could possibly be so bad to argue over?
Aliiza: (stammering a little) Well, you know, the last mission, a lot of things got intense and-d-d you got hurt, I thought you were gonna die soo I-I-I...
Y/N: You did-?
Aliiza: I KISSED YOU! I.KISSED.YOU!!!
Y/N:....
Aliiza: I KISSED YOU! Back at the platform! When you got hurt, I-I thought you were gonna die! So, I wanted to admit my feelings to you before anyone could take you away again!
Aliiza had gotten closer to me, I didn't actually believe I was Oblivious to her feelings, it makes sense now, there must have formed a while back, all the extra chores she had taken, the times she spent on missions with me, it made sense now, I backed up a little as she cornered me in the room.
Y/N: Aliiza I ca--
She cut me off by placing a finger on my lips, I had no clue what to do.
Aliiza: Boss, you don't have to say anything, I know how you really feel...
Y/N: Aliiza, we can't be together!
Aliiza: But we can! No Jedi can stop it, just us, just us...
Aliiza closed the gap between us and kissed me again on our lips, I didn't react at first till I decided to lightly push her off me, her expression was co fused and a little upset.
Y/N: Aliiza I told you--
I was cut off by the sound of running, I looked toward the exit, and I could hear someone running down the ramp, I ran after them leaving Aliiza in the cockpit, as I got to the ramp exit I see Ahsoka leaving the hanger and going into the temple at a fast speed.
Y/N: (feeling uneasy) No, she saw us.... no...
I had to lean against the ramps stairs as I could feel my heart break, Ahsoka wouldn't forgive what she had just seen, I broke her heart, I had to sit down as I recover from what just happened.
Y/N: Ahsoka... damn it...
Aliiza then just came from behind me as she saw me looking out to the hanger, she spoke up sounding confused.
Aliiza: Uh, who was that? Are we in trouble? Did they see us?
Y/N: (quietly) Yeah, Aliiza... they saw us, but I think you'll be fine, it's me who's gonna get the short end...
Aliiza: Did you see who it was?
Y/N: It was Ahsoka, Aliiza, Do you know why Ahsoka might have had it out for you?
Aliiza: Uh, no, I thought she was just jealous, why?
Y/N: Do you remember me telling you, the day I woke up, who the first person I saw with my eyes were?
Aliiza: The Jedi?
Y/N: Not just any Jedi. (Standing up) It was Ahsoka, she and a few others you know saved me, and she means a lot more than you think.
Aliiza: (trying to think) Wait, why would she mean anything she just a Jedi, I thought-
I turn around a little angrily at her.
Y/N: You have thought... wrong.
Aliiza:(backing off) No, no way... you... you love her, don't you?
Y/N: The first real Person I came to care about in a long time...
I turn around and follow Ahsoka's trail, Aliiza started to yell for me to come back but I didn't listen to her, I had to try and make things right with Ahsoka, I hurried along the halls looking for any sign of her, I likely looked mad to the other Jedi but that didn't stop me, after a while I came across the hall me and Ahsoka shared, I went over to her room and knocked, she didn't answer, I knocked a lot louder the next time to try and get a response, I got nothing, I tried a third till Khalifa came by.
Khalifa: Y/N? What are you doing here?
Y/N: Looking for Ahsoka, she and I need to talk.
Khalifa: Oh, I just saw her head for the northern hanger, she looked like she was upset the way she walked.
Y/N: Damn it, thanks, Khalifa.
Khalifa: Of course, see you later.
I went off in the other direction to find the northern hanger, 'Why the hanger? Is she running off on us?' My thoughts were interrupted when I had arrived at the hanger, it just so happened to be where many 501st clone troopers were stationed, I looked about but couldn't see no sight of Ahsoka, Echo and Charger approached me unmasked with a new clone behind him.
???: General L/N, good to finally meet you, sir. (He salutes me)
Y/N: At ease trooper.
Hardcase: It's Hardcase sir.
Y/N: Oh! Hardcase sorry about that, Charger, Echo, have any of you seen Ahsoka come by here?!?
Echo: No sir... she hasn't been here at all.
Charger: Oh uh, not today at least, we're just prepping for the next mission.
Hardcase: Right, Umbara is our next drop zone, heard it's gonna be tough on all of us.
Y/N: I heard, happens in a week or so.
Echo: Right, General Skywalker and other Jedi general's will be joining us, heard The Umbarans have allied themselves with the droids.
Hardcase: Bad mistake for them... (he laughs awkwardly)
Y/N: Right... we'll if Commander tano does come by, please notify me, I uh, need to speak with her.
Echo: We'll do just that sir, you have a good day now.
Y/N: I doubt I will...
I turn around from the hanger and begin to leave, something felt off about the whole hanger but I couldn't tell what, I left the hanger, the only place I could return to was the ship, but I had things to think about, I kept on walking to the ship.
Third Person POV.
As Y/N left the hanger, Echo went over to the door to really make sure Y/N had left, one he gave the all clear, Ahsoka came out of a gunship nearby with Fives, they all went over into an isolated place as Ahsoka asked If it was clear.
Ahsoka: Is he gone?
Echo: Yes commander, he headed west, likely back to his ship.
Fives: Now he's gone, tell us why you're hiding from him?
Ahsoka: (sighs) it's difficult to explain, I know something that could ruin both his life and mine, but he's making it hard for me with the way he acts, I wanted to talk with him but...
Hardcase: He didn't... threaten you, commander?
Ahsoka: No, no nothing like that, I-I... I don't know what to do.
Echo: I take it if you tell the Jedi, you both will get into trouble?
Ahsoka: Yes, that's right...
Fives: Well General, we really don't want to get you in trouble, but if General L/N is doing something that might jeopardize you then we need to do something.
Hardcase: Is there no one you can go to with this information?
Ahsoka: I don't know Hardcase, I'm scared that I go to him and talk about it might be over for us both, but if I don't it's just gonna get worse.
Echo: Look Commander, if something does go wrong, we'll have you're back, besides, General L/N never let any of us down, I'm sure whatever he's doing is for a good reason.
Ahsoka couldn't help but fake a smile at the troops.
Ahsoka: Thank you guys, I knew I could count on you, I think I'm going to get some rest now, I'll speak with you later.
Charger: Night commander.
Ahsoka leaves the hanger, the clones all looked concerned at each other.
Fives: The general is hiding from Y/N...Why?
Charger: It sounds bad, maybe she's overreacting?
Echo: Maybe, maybe not...
Hardcase: Look, even if she is, we should keep an eye on Y/N, he looks like a guy with an agenda, something he's hiding from everyone.
Fives: He is a sith lord, perhaps we should tell general Skywalker about this?
Echo: I don't know if the general would do anything to him, they're just getting better with their friendship, let's not ruin it.
Charger: How about Captain Rex? We should at least give him a heads-up.
Hardcase: Yeah, he's a smart guy, we should tell him.
Fives: Okay, Captain Rex it is.
The clones all agreed to the plan and went back to work, they would tell their captain soon, and it would effect the outcome of the next mission they would go on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next up, 'Arrival at Umbara.' which comes tomorrow.....
