I landed on a snowy hillside at night. It was cold, but nothing like what I've been through in hell. Hell could go from hundreds of degrees to negative 150 or so overnight and I'd gotten far used to it.
I looked around and saw smoke rising in the distance. That must've be been where civilization was, so I started making my way towards it.
As I got nearer to the smoke, I saw that it was a camp with lots of soldiers walking around. Upon closer inspection I realised that they were Deathwatch. I made my way down to the camp and tried to recruit myself.
"Hey, who are you?" One of them shouted.
"Relax, I only want to join." I replied while trying my best to stay cool.
"Let's see what the boss has to say about that." He replied before shooting me in the leg, only for his shots to bounce right off my armour.
"You can't hurt me. Besides, I only want to join you." I said.
By now a few more Deathwatch troops had gathered to see what was happening.
"I'll go get the boss." One said as they walked off. I noticed that they had a different helmet on. I also realised that they were a girl as well which I found a bit unusual, since Deathwatch is almost entirely men.
All the Deathwatch troops stood around me, some with guns pointed at me and others just talking to each other. After a few minutes, the weird helmet woman came back with another person with a different helmet entirely. I could tell that this was their leader.
"Well greetings, soldier. What brings you here?" He said as he walked over to me.
"I'd like to join you in Deathwatch." I said.
"Oh, and what do you think you could bring to the team?" He said as he took his helmet off, revealing his face. I couldn't exactly remember who he was but I think his name was something like Pre Vizsla.
"More than you think." I replied.
Vizsla sniggered and walked around me, inspecting my suit.
"Fine suit you got there. What's it made from?" He asked.
"Uh, vibranium." I replied, not wanting to blow my cover. If I'd said it was from hell, he'd probably know that I was here to kill the priest.
"What's it like?" He asked.
"Pretty strong." I said.
"How strong exactly?" Vizsla asked as he stepped closer to me.
"Try it with anything you want." I replied. Vizsla stepped back and looked at his troops.
"Alright boys. He wants us to try his suit with everything we got, so let's give him it." He shouted. As he did, all the soldiers raised their guns and aimed at me. "Fire!" He shouted.
All the soldiers opened fire on me. The force of the bullets barely did anything to my suit or to me. It felt as if someone was flicking peas at me they were that insignificant.
After the soldiers had expended all of their ammo, they all turned to each other, dumbfounded at my suits integrity.
"Wow. That suit sure is strong." Vizsla said as he turned around. "Is it strong enough to survive this!?" He shouted as he drew his dark saber and hit me with it as hard as he could. The saber hit my suit and stopped dead in its tracks. I didn't even move or flinch as it hit me either.
Vizsla stood back in shock at what had just happened.
"Oh, oh my. That suit sure is strong." He said as he looked up at me. "W-welcome to Deathwatch, soldier."
"Call me (y/n)." I replied before walking off. As I got further away, I began to hear the other soldiers begin to talk about me, what about me I couldn't tell but they were almost certainly talking about me.
I stood outside alone with my thoughts for a while until one of the soldiers walked over to me.
"The dorms are in those tents over there." He said as he pointed at the tents. "You're in the one on the far left." He said as he walked off. I glanced over at the tents before looking back towards Vizsla. I walked over to him, causing him to stop talking to another person and turn his attention to me.
"Hello, (y/n). How can I help." He said.
"I just wanted to get to know this place better." I said.
"Well come on in and I'll tell you all about us." He said as he walked into a tent. I followed close behind him. He sat down at a table and put his feet up onto a different chair. "So, what do you want to know about?" He asked.
"Just, what stuff's going on at the moment here." I replied.
"Well, not much to be honest. Only thing that's happened recently is that some priest made a deal with us that we keep him safe in return for keeping this planet free of demons. Pff, who actually believes in that stuff?"
I glared at him through my helmet. "Did you take the offer?" I asked.
"Yeah I did." He replied. "No reason for me not to really, I mean we can't protect him when he's half way across the galaxy." He said.
"Why? Where is he?" I asked.
"I'd love to tell you but you've gotta earn my trust first before I say stuff like that." He said.
I grumbled slightly in my suit as quietly as I could, but he heard it.
"You sound tired. Go get some sleep, we've got stuff on tomorrow." He said.
"What stuff?" I asked.
"We've got a visitor who's bringing us the location of Count Dooku." He replied.
I nodded and stood up out of my chair before walking out of the tent. By now there were only a few people outside and none of them seemed to have the confidence to talk to me so I went straight to the tent which I'd been assigned to. Inside the tent, there were a few people already asleep and a spare bed on the side. I laid on the spare bed, still in my suit and went to sleep thinking about Ahsoka. I didn't want to go to sleep but I didn't want people to get suspicious of me so I did.
In the morning, I woke up to hear lots of talking outside. I walked outside to see lots of Deathwatch troops talking to who looked like a teenage boy and this person in a massive fluffy coat, though I couldn't see who the person was. The Deathwatch woman with the odd helmet slapped the bum of the person in the coat before taking them into a tent. I followed close behind them.
I stood outside the tent and listened in on the conversation between the teenage boy and the person in the coat. The person in the coat sounded familiar, but I didn't know where from.
"Hey, (y/n), want to help me talk to these guys?" Vizsla asked as he walked up to me.
"Sure." I replied. Vizsla smiled as we walked into the tent. As we did, I saw the teenage boy grab the girl and pull her into a kiss. The girl tried to resist it and fight back from it but the boy refused to let go of her.
"Sorry, are we interrupting something?" Vizsla asked.
The two stopped the one sided kiss. "No, it's fine." The boy said as he glared at the girl.
The girl then turned to face me and I realised that it was Ahsoka! She pointed her head at the person who just kissed her, which I interpreted as her way of telling me to get them, so I did.
I grabbed the boy by the neck and picked them up.
"Woah woah woah, what's going on here?" Vizsla said as he walked over to us. I looked down at Ahsoka as she smiled at me. I dropped the boy onto the floor and stood back. The boy choked for air as Ahsoka walked away from him. "What was that about?" Vizsla asked.
"I really don't think this lovely lady appreciated what this boy just did to her." I said.
Vizsla looked between me, the boy and Ahsoka. "Did you appreciate it?" He asked.
Ahsoka shook her head. Vizsla smiled as she did so.
"(Y/n), take her to the kitchens. She needs to learn some discipline and to know her place." Vizsla said. I turned to Ahsoka as she smiled at me.
"Come on you." I said as I walked out of the tent with my hand in Ahsoka's.
We walked away from the tent and behind a big shed full of scrap robots. I took my helmet off and looked at Ahsoka.
"What're you doing here?" I asked.
"That Kid, Lux Bonteri dragged me into this. I helped him from being killed at Amidala's meeting then he tasers me and brings me here just to witness his plan." Ahsoka said sounding not at all impressed with him.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked.
Ahsoka sighed. "Don't blow your cover just for me, unless you have to. I'll go along with what they do to me. If necessary, you can just get me out of any trouble." Ahsoka said.
We both smiled at each other and stared into each others eyes. Ahsoka pulled my head into hers and kissed me on the lips, but only briefly.
"Now come on, take me to the kitchens. I'll make sure that you get the best food." Ahsoka said.
"Don't worry about it. I'm not taking my helmet off for anyone other than you." I replied.
Ashoka smiled as I put my helmet back on. "Well I've still got to go to the kitchens." She said as she took my hand and walked out from behind the shed.
We walked back into the main area and Ahsoka let go of my hand. I took her to the kitchens and left here there with the other ladies to get set in. I had no idea how long we'd be here for but I felt a little better knowing that I could keep Ahsoka safe.
I went back in to check on Vizsla and saw him with his feet up on the table with the other boy, who Ahsoka had just told me was Lux, not there.
"Where's Lux?" I asked.
"He's somewhere around the camp. Why'd you ask?" Vizsla replied.
"Oh no reason." I said as I walked outside.
I spent most of the day hanging around the place, letting people test stuff on my suit, talking to those who were brave enough and getting a chat in with Ahsoka whenever I could. She'd been told to get the food ready for lunch and so I hadn't been able to talk to her in a while, although I could see her talking to the other women from inside the lunch hall.
I was sat at a table with Vizsla when Ahsoka and some of the other women began to start walking around, serving food and drinks to everyone.
"Careful not to choke on your stupidity." Ahsoka said to Lux as she handed him what looked like a lukewarm cup of coffee. Lux mumbled something to which Ahsoka frowned at him but chose to walk off and ignore him.
"Hey, when someone's talking to you, you listen to them woman." One of the soldiers said as they stood up and grabbed Ahsoka by her lekkus and dragged her back to the table. Ahsoka yelped as she got her lekkus tugged hard, which was enough for me to want to get involved. I stood up and walked over to them.
"What do you think you're doing?" I asked the soldier.
"This woman needs to learn that when a man talks to them, they listen and obey." He said as he smacked Ahsoka across the face. Ahsoka grabbed her face and turned away from the soldier as she stumbled towards me. Before he'd even realised, I'd picked him and and thrown him to the floor.
"What's going on here!?" Vizsla shouted as he walked over to us.
"Nothing, just someone needs to learn how to act." I said as I walked back to my seat. Vizsla looked between everyone before eventually giving in and sitting back down as well. Nobody dared touch or even look at Ahsoka weirdly for the rest of the evening.
We were just finishing up when some creature walks in. I had no idea what species he was but he looked like he was from the same species as some of the women, and he looked important.
"Pre Vizsla, you have taken some of our women, our land and our food. We demand that you return them to us immediately." The creature said.
"Ok. By noon tomorrow, you'll have your people back and we'll take our leave." Vizsla said.
"Really?" The creature said.
"You have my word." Vizsla replied.
"Um, thank you, I suppose." The creature said before nodding and leaving.
Everyone talked for a bit about random stuff. I noticed that Ahsoka was signalling for me to join her outside, so I did.
"Sorry, excuse me one second." I said as I stood up from my seat and walked over to Ahsoka. She took my hand and led me behind the dining hall.
"Thank you for doing that earlier. This Lux guy is a creep who wants to be with me." Ahsoka said as she held my hand.
"I could tell. I'll do everything to keep him away from you." I replied as I took my helmet off. Ahsoka smiled at me.
"Thank you (y/n)." She said as she pulled my head into hers and kissed me on the lips.
"Anything for you." I said as we backed out of the kiss. "Are your lekkus ok?" I asked as I began to fuss them a little.
"They're a little tender, but they should be fine soon." Ahsoka was able to mumble as she hugged me. I kept fussing her lekkus as Ahsoka sighed from enjoyment in the moment.
We hugged behind the back of the dining hall for a few seconds until we heard footsteps approaching. We quickly scurried off away from them and back around the front.
"Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow." I said as I put my helmet back on.
"Yes. I'll see you tomorrow." She said with a smile as she walked into the tent with the other women. I too walked into my tent and went to sleep, even though I probably should have stayed awake because Vizsla would probably want me for something, although I didn't really care.
In the morning, I talked a bit with Ahsoka behind the robot shed before she had to go. She was told to go with the other women back to their home just to say goodbye. Quite a few soldiers and Vizsla himself went with them, but Vizsla insisted that I stayed back in camp, which made me suspicious that he'd do something while I was gone.
It was a quiet day at the camp, not much happened since there weren't many people there.
It had gotten dark and Ahsoka hadn't gotten back yet. I was beginning to get worried about her. What if something happened while I was back here? All of my worries went away when I heard the Deathwatch speeders return to camp. I went outside to see what was happening and saw Ahsoka being dragged along by cables from a speeder. She looked much redder than usual and she also looked very cold and hurt. The soldiers dragged her into a big open tent and laid her down in the middle with Lux next to her standing up.
"Well well well, this does not look good, this does not look good at all. We thought we could trust you. You come here with good faith and bring a Jedi into our camp? I'm sorry but his is unacceptable. Kill them both." Vizsla said.
All of a sudden, R2 D2 ran into the room and started spinning around, spraying water everywhere and making as much of a distraction as possible. I saw him get out both of Ahsoka's lightsabers so I grabbed them both and threw them to Ahsoka. She caught them both and immediately jumped in the air and decapitated 4 soldiers.
I pulled my new plasma rifle out and began to fire it at all the soldiers. It melted right through their armour and killed anyone it hit. The only thing which could stop it was Vizsla's dark saber.
Ahsoka deflected their rounds and cut them in half as I slaughtered them with my newest best friend. The rounds which did get through to me didn't do anything and luckily Ahsoka didn't get hit.
I'd killed a lot of soldiers before my plasma rifle ran out of ammo. Ahsoka had run outside to go free the remaining women who were still alive, leaving me, several soldiers and Vizsla.
"(Y/n)'s mine." He shouted as he drew his dark saber at me. I put my plasma rifle away and pulled out my own red lightsaber and ignited it. He gasped as he saw the colour of my red blade. "He's a sith!" He shouted.
"No I'm not." I shouted as I dashed up to him and began pummeling him with strikes. He was barely able to withstand the power I was putting through each hit. The remaining soldiers had all run off out of fear by now, leaving just me and Vizsla.
Vizsla dodged behind me and jet packed himself about 20 meters into the air. From his high ground, he began to dose me in fire accomplishing absolutely nothing. I responded with an assault rifle sniper round to his jetpack.
"Ha, you missed." He said with a chuckle.
"Check again." I said as he looked at his jetpack. His eyes lit up and he took it off as quickly as he could. He fell to the floor just ahead of his jetpack. His jetpack exploded downwards, forcing him into the floor. I picked him up by his neck and squeezed it.
"Where is the hell priest." I asked.
"I'll, never, say." He stuttered as I tightened my grip.
"Where is the hell priest!" I yelled at him.
"Alright, Alzoc 3." He groaned. I looked over at Ahsoka and she nodded so I dropped him to the floor. He gasped for air as I did so.
"Come on, let's go." I said to Ahsoka.
"What about Lux? We can't just leave him here." Ahsoka said as she pointed at the unconscious Lux.
"You know where he lives?" I asked.
"Yes, me and Padmé had the misfortune of going round to his parents house a while back." Ahsoka replied as she rolled her eyes.
"Got the coordinates?" I asked.
"Somewhere in my call log." Ahsoka said as she began to look through her comm link history on the projected hologram.
"I have found the coordinates on Onderon." Vega said.
"Did you just check through my entire call log?" Ahsoka asked.
"Yes." Vega replied.
"How much did you see of it?" Ahsoka asked, starting to get a little nervous.
"I saw and recalled all of it." Vega said. Ahsoka broke into laughter.
"Did you see all the ones between me and Anakin when he has to tell me he's stuck again?" Ahsoka said.
"Yes. Out of your 2300 calls in the past 2 years, 130 of which were from Anakin asking for your assistance." Vega replied.
Both me and Ahsoka burst into laughter. We laughed for a few minutes at Anakin's incompetence but eventually got back to the topic at hand.
"Uh right. Vega, open a portal to Lux's house." Ahsoka said.
"Ok. Opening the portal now." Vega said as the blue circular portal opened once again. I grabbed Lux by the belt and chucked him through. Vega swiftly closed the portal after I did so.
"Right then, now he's gone I can head home with the one person I want to kiss me." Ahsoka said as she walked close to me and grabbed my hand.
"I can come home with you Ahsoka but as soon as I've refilled all my ammo and gotten ready, I'm heading out to kill this priest." I said.
"Time with you is time with you." Ahsoka said with a smile. I returned the smile and followed Ahsoka to the ship which she'd brought along. I knew I could have just opened a portal but I knew we couldn't just leave the ship here and it would just be easier to get it back now, so we did.
Me, Ahsoka and R2 D2 got on the ship and went into the cockpit. Ahsoka piloted the ship off the planet and set the course for Coruscant. She tapped a few buttons before the ship began to speed up and go into hyperspace.
"R2, come wake us up when we're back on Coruscant." Ahsoka said as she stood up. "I'm tired and I don't want to sleep on a pathetic excuse for a bed. I'd much rather sleep on your chest." Ahsoka said as she walked over to me and stroked my chest. "Also I'm still cold from down there so, please." Ahsoka begged from behind my chair as she hugged me.
"You don't even have to ask, just say that you're tired and I'll let you sleep." I said as I stood up and walked to what was apparently the bedroom with Ahsoka's hand in mine.
Upon entering the bedroom, I took my suit off and put it on the floor before lying down on the semi-hard surface of the bed. Ahsoka lay down on top of me and rested her head against my chest. I grabbed the thin duvet and threw it over us both. I wrapped one of my arms around Ahsoka's waist and fussed her lekkus with the other, causing her to let out a sigh of relaxation as I pulled her close to me.
"Goodnight (y/n)." Ahsoka said as she kissed me on the lips. "I love you (y/n)." She said.
"I love you too 'Soka." I replied as we both began to drift off to sleep.
