Disclaimer: I do not own either Harry Potter or Star Wars. I am only writing this for my own amusement while I get these ideas out of my head.
Authors Notes: I hope you all enjoy this. This is the combined effort of a brainstorming session I had with a few other authors here on and also my own imagination. I have a few chapters written out in advance, but will only be posting at most one chapter each week on Fridays possibly less often than that depending on how frequently I can write my updates. As always reviews and private messages are always welcome assuming they provide constructive criticism. Any criticism that is hostile will be ignored.
I listed this story as having an Original Character. However that was simply because of the presence of one of this stories major characters from Star Wars the Clone Wars whose name I did not see listed in the Star Wars Character list, and as such I could not list that character under their official name. So I chose to list them under the listing of OC instead.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away?
Chapter 1: A New Beginning!
The Jedi have fallen! Her former master turned traitor. All seems lost, and hope has fled.
Now Ahsoka Tano, one of the last remaining of the Jedi Order must decide what to do in a galaxy that is increasingly hostile.
In a last ditch effort to see the Empire destroyed, Ahsoka boards an experimental light freighter armed with weaponry that could match each and every Star Destroyer in the Galaxy….
Ahsoka cautiously walked down the wide open corridor in the upper floors of the headquarters of Corellian Engineering Corporation. She was here to meet with the CEO of the building at the request of several interested parties. Several Senators had banded together to form an organization loosely labeled "The Rebellion" and had gotten in touch with Ahsoka via her old friend Senator Bail Presto Organa, it amazed her when the Senator got in touch with her as she had been in the outer rim territories engaged in peace talks between another of her old "friends" and a bunch of ne'er-do-well's. That had been something, it was the first time she ever heard of a Hutt calling in a favor from someone who did them a good deed once upon a time, but Jabba had practically, well; she wouldn't say he was begging, but it was close.
It had been years since Ahsoka had left the Jedi Order, and in the intervening time she had secretly reconstructed her Lightsaber and Shoto, which has allowed her to keep performing the role of a peacekeeper in these troubled times, though she performed this role without the sanction of the Jedi Order or the knowledge of the Galactic Senate.
As such it was rather surprising when Senator Bail Organa came to her of all people, a fugitive from the Galactic Republic, to help with a dire circumstance that had arisen in the Galactic Core. It appeared that High Chancellor Palpatine was actually a Dark Lord of the Sith, and through subtle manipulations he had corrupted her own former Master over to the Dark Side of the Force. Anakin, now calling himself Darth Vader, then went on a killing spree and slaughtered all the Jedi on Curroscant. Meanwhile all the Jedi who were fighting the Separatists where subsequently slaughtered by their own clone troopers.
High Chancellor Palpatine went further and declared himself Emperor for life. And now it was left to the Senators to try to curb his excesses, though that was in Ahsoka's honest opinion a losing battle. The reason however that Bail Organa summoned Ahsoka to Corellia was because those Senators that agreed with him, which included the Senator of Corellia had banded together to form an opposition. But what they desperately needed was a pilot with force sensitivity and combat experience who could go up against the Clone Forces and stand a chance of defeating them.
Unfortunately all the active Jedi were either dead, or in hiding now, and the Dark Side Users in the Galaxy would be of no help to them, so that left them in the situation where they had to approach one of the inactive Jedi in the galaxy to do this for them, which explains why Ahsoka found herself walking towards the office of the CEO of Corellian Engineering Corporation at this precise moment. Letting her senses wander throughout the building, using her Togruta Echo Location to pick up on where each and every individual on this floor happened to be, she also allowed her innate sense of the flow of the force in this area to pick up on the subtle flow of how people would react in the immediate future. It never hurt to be prepared for any given situation, even if these people said they merely wanted her to help fight off the empire, it was just as easy that they could be trying to ambush her with some of the Clone Troopers. Fortunately she had fought alongside those Troopers long enough that she could sense them from miles away. And she did not detect any of them in this building at the moment.
Steeling herself she walked into the CEO's room and looked around. The CEO was of course sitting behind his desk. Off to the side was a Protocol Droid of a similar make to C-3P0. There was no one else in the room, nor any other entrances or exits from the room. That would make getting out of her difficult should someone come in from behind her.
Seeing that she had arrived the CEO looked at her and said "Ah, Miss Tano, thank you for joining me here. Your friend Bail Organa instructed me that you would be the best person to fly the operations we had planned. Now the problem we are having is that it is completely impossible to fly this mission using the conventional hyperdrive engine."
Ahsoka frowned, that didn't sound good. Hyperdrive Engines were finicky devices at the absolute best, and meddlesome and downright dangerous at the absolute worst. "Why is that?"
"Ah, you see, the long and the short of it is that the Hyperdrive on the ship I need you to fly needs to be powerful enough to escape from the event horizon of a forming Quantum-Singularity." The CEO explained.
"You want it to do what?" Ahsoka asked, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, a Quantum-Singularity, or what in more common terms basically amounted to a Black Hole, was not something that you could really escape from once you entered the Event Horizon. At least not using any technology she had ever heard of.
"Simply put, the prototype engine we have created for this mission is powerful enough that it can easily exceed the output necessary to compensate for the gravity well that would be generated by a forming Quantum-Singularity. Unfortunately no pilot or droid we have available would be capable of piloting the damn ship we have attached it too under that climate. It would take a force sensitive to be able to pull it off. And unlike conventional hyperdrives, in that climate you actually have to manually pilot the ship as you have to constantly be altering the ships course, and no computer can operate fast enough to do it. It makes podracing look easy by comparison."
Ahsoka was rapidly losing her coloring, which was normally rather vibrant while listening to this man. What he was describing sounded like a one way ticket to the death she would be guaranteed if she were to walk onto the so called Imperial Capital. "And why, pray tell do you need a Starship capable of reaching the escape velocity of a Black Hole?"
"Because one of our scientists over at Corellian Arms managed to invent the ultimate Super Weapon, he dubbed them 'Quantum-Singularity Torpedoes,' and they basically create a Quantum Singularity inside of whatever they hit." The CEO said with a rather proud smile on his face.
"That has got to be stupidest hair brained idea I have ever heard of." Ahsoka said in a rather deadened voice.
"Well the way we figure it, it would just take one of these torpedoes used against one of their Super Star Destroyers to put a deadly dent in their morale," said the CEO.
"And just how on earth am I supposed to get within firing range of a Super Star Destroyer? I served on that type of ship. I know just how difficult it is to get close to them if you aren't on their list of friendlies." Ahsoka began the list of complaints already.
"Oh, that is easy, one of our researchers in Chempat Engineered Defenses designed a rather ingenious new type of shielding technology that we have labeled the Stealth Field. What it does is refracts all types of wavelengths of energy save for highly charged particle beams away from anything inside the shield, basically rendering the object imperceptible to both sensors and the naked eye. Unfortunately it uses up so much energy when in use that it is impossible to use the ships standard shielding to defend against incoming fire. We even built a remote control for that system so the ship can effectively be invisible while you are on the ground and away from the ship." The CEO said in his proudest voice.
"I admit, that does sound reasonable. Though I am not too keen on the idea of being without my standard shields while entering a hostile situation, but to be able to do it without being seen will help, and you said that the Hyperdrive Engine will definitely get me out of the event horizon?" Ahsoka asked.
"In theory at least, we haven't actually had an opportunity to test it under anything other than laboratory conditions. But everything points to it working the way we hypothesize that it should." The CEO said with a chagrined look on his face.
Ahsoka frowned, "So basically, you want me to be the person who tests a bunch of experimental technology under combat conditions for you? Please tell me I at least get a top of the line Starfighter to do this in?"
The CEO collapsed into his seat and said "Ah… about that. I tried, I really tried, but you see, all funding for new Starfighter technology has been forcibly revoked by Palpatine. The only company getting any funding for Starfighter construction and research at this time is Sienar Fleet Systems. Everyone else is stuck using older technology. In fact it's gotten so bad that your only options for ship are the XS-Series or the YT-Series. And if I may make a suggestion, I would use the older XS-series. It may not look like much, but it is loads sturdier than the YT-series is, and it doesn't have nearly as many bugs in its systems. The XS-Series also saw significant use during the war against the Sith Empire, so it is a type of ship that has seen combat before. The YT-series, though it does come equipped with weapons, was never intended as a war-time ship."
Ahsoka nodded, "Yeah, the XS-Series sounds like the best option. Set me up with that. In the meantime it might be best if I make myself scarce. Send me a message on this channel when the ship is ready."
And with that Ahsoka left the way she had come.
It was several months later, and Ahsoka had arrived at Corellian Fleetyards to obtain her ship and begin her mission. She had of course gotten the ship stocked with the essentials that she might require on an extended war operation, just in case. That includes several thousand Republic Credit Ingots; never know when an obsolete currency might come in handy.
Anyways, now that the ship was properly loaded up, she was to begin her mission. The flight control operator handed her the latest telemetry on where a Super Star Destroyer could be found and wished her luck.
Once on board the ship she prepped for launch and took off. Now that she was in space she entered her destination into the Astrogation Computer and prepped for Hyperdrive.
"Okay, well it's now or never. The CEO told me at our last meeting that this thing goes at an unprecedented 180 MGLT. The fastest Star Fighters top out at about 150 MGLT, so this thing is pretty darn fast. I just hope the hull can take that speed. Oh well, only one way to know." Ahsoka monologue for a little bit, and after doing so promptly punched the lightspeed control.
VVVVVVVVVRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!
Ahsoka was rocketed back into her seat during the acceleration into lightspeed. She had never felt that kind of force before. The Inertial Dampeners were practically screaming in their attempt to maintain the stability on both the ship's hull and the ship's innards. If this is what cruising speed felt like, Ahsoka could barely imagine how she was going to manage flying the ship while trying to escape from a Quantum-Singularity. This was NOT good.
A little over an hour later, and Ahsoka was alerted that she would be arriving at her destination in 3 minutes. Quickly punching up the activation of the Stealth Field, Ahsoka promptly prepped to switch the controls over to manual.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!
The exit from Hyperspace was just as climactic as the entrance to Hyperspace. She was jostled forward in her seat and quickly shot back. Getting her bearings took about 2 minutes. "Ah. There is the Star Destroyer. Good, it appears to be the only one. And… oh crap, that's Anakin I feel on there. Well slag; that makes the Stealth field pointless. Still it will prevent him from being able to see me, so that helps at least. Even if it doesn't stop him from feeling me or my intentions, this just got a whole lot more complicated."
Meanwhile at the exact same moment on the Imperial Star Destroyer Catastrophe, the Dark Lord Vader sensed something on the edges of his perception, "No, it can't be? She can't be here. She should be dead. And what is this? She thinks she can destroy the Catastrophe? How amusing…" Anakin stretched his senses as far as they would go, trying to determine the nature of the threat his Padawan represented… "What? She has WHAT on her ship? I don't care if he is the Emperor or if he is the incarnation of the Celestials of Mortis himself, I will not stand here and get swallowed by a Black Hole."
And with that Darth Vader promptly and quickly made his way to the Tie-Fighter Hanger where in his Tie-Custom resided. He had to get off this ship as quickly as possible and into Hyperspace before Ahsoka fired that thrice be-damned torpedo at this hulk.
It was about 10 minutes later that Ahsoka finally calmed down from her near panic attack at discovering that Anakin was on that ship. And she only managed that when she discovered he had somehow disappeared from her perception. "Huh, he must have sensed the armament on this ship, and decided to flee instead of trying to find me. That could be bad for the Corellian's, if he connects this ship back to them. Anyways, I need to complete this mission and get out of here before they realize why their precious Darth Vader fled the scene of the crime."
It didn't take long to get a firing solution on the hulking star destroyer, and once the torpedo was armed, she fired. Once that was done she brought the ship around and began procedures for a short return course the way she had come, but did it manually so as to avoid typing in the coordinates on the astrogation computer. Once that was ready, she attuned her senses to the universe as a whole and punched the lightspeed, right as the torpedo hit its mark and the event horizon began forming behind her.
VVVVVVVVVVVRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRCCCCCCCCCRAAAACKOOOOOOOOM!
"Oh I do not like the sound of that." Was all Ahsoka managed to say before the entire world appeared to catch on fire in her expanded senses and she blacked out.
Some indeterminate time later, Ahsoka managed to regain her senses and quickly looked around. The ship appeared more or less undamaged. Though there was a huge blinking red light that indicated the ship had suffered from a Hyperdrive Malfunction, though what the result of that Hyperdrive Malfunction actually was she had no idea. The stars outside her cockpit window looked more or less normal.
Groaning as she began moving around, "What? Have I been unconscious for the better part of a month?" She looked at the telemetry from the Astrogation Computer first and foremost, when a Hyperdrive Malfunctions, it was anyone's bet as to where the ship would end up, or if it would even end up anywhere at all.
"That makes no sense. I can't be exactly where I was before the malfunction, there should be a huge honking black hole at this spot, yet there isn't." Ahsoka couldn't make sense of what her Astrogation Chart was telling her, so next she looked over at the Galactic Chronometer to see if it might have some answers as to what is going on.
"NO WAY is that possible." Ahsoka said dumbfounded. She sat staring at the Galactic Chronometer, it was giving off a reading that said that approximately 4 billion years had passed since she had launched that bloody torpedo at the Catastrophe.
"Okay Ahsoka think! If it really has been 4 billion years, absolutely no one you knew will be alive anymore, with the possible exception of some random derelict droid somewhere… In fact now that I think about it, the entire galactic civilization could have been completely obliterated in some way or another in that time. No, best thing to do right now is to do a scan for active signals and see what my options are right now." Ahsoka said while fiddling with the comms array.
What she discovered was that several outlier planets appeared to still be intact and operating a trans-system network of travel. But from their discussions on the comms channels, these weren't the sorts of folks that a Jedi would feel particularly comfortable interacting with. One particular species had this unnerving quality of experimenting on the sentient species of planet's that weren't capable of traveling at the speed of light.
That was when she discovered one planet in particular. It didn't boast anything particularly noteworthy from the technology point of view, but based on some of their communications it housed ideas and concepts that were quite similar in nature to that of the Jedi Order. This Earth as the people of the planet called it; would seem a reasonable place from which to restart the Jedi Order if that was what she was really going to be forced to do.
Making her way over to the Hyperdrive housing, she quickly set about repairing whatever damage it had sustained in the attempt to break away from the singularity. It took her a little over two days to set that to rights, and even then she didn't think based on what she saw that it was ever going to truly be capable of breaking out of the gravity of a forming black hole. That she survived is amazing, even if from her perspective no one else did.
Making her way back to the cockpit two days later, she quickly input the coordinates of the Earth based on the information which she had gleaned from the communications of that weird race of experimentors. Once that was done she quickly punched the Lightspeed and was underway.
Arriving at her destination 2 days later, this planet was on the complete opposite side of the Galaxy from where she started. She quickly did a scan of the planet that included sensing the planet with her force expanded senses.
Yes, there were pockets of people who could be described as Force Sensitives that dotted all over the planet. Heck, it felt like there were actually animals on that planet that were Force Sensitive as well. "What kind of planet is this?"
And that is when she sensed it, there, on that tiny island, there is an individual on that planet who feels just like Anakin did the last time she felt him. EVIL. Evil personified. And it wasn't just a passing evil. Now, this was the corruption that comes from embracing the Dark Side of the Force to its fullest extent. This man had warped his own nature to be the type of evil that he was. Sure there were others on the planet who had embraced the Dark Side of the Force, but none had that absolute aura of malice that this individual had.
"Well, if there is a person who probably qualifies on the same level of evil as the Dark Lords of the Sith on this planet, then I made the right choice in coming here. Now, where is he?" Focusing her senses to pinpoint exactly where that Dark Lord might be, she located him, he was just outside of what her computers were telling her was a small village or hamlet.
Quickly punching the stealth option on her ship she promptly began the landing procedures for her ship aiming to put herself down just outside the village, behind where the man was standing.
Meanwhile in the village of Godric's Hallow inside a quaint little cottage, a bookish looking man with rather a bad mop of hair was reading a book when he was alerted to the failing of the perimeter wards, "Lily! It's him, take Harry and run!" he yelled up the stairs to his wife. He grabbed a small stick off the table and aimed it towards the door, which promptly flew off its hinges.
The man started issuing mass amounts of red light from the wand while rapid firing the word "STUPEFY!" However each and every one of these lights was cut short splashing on a shield that was surrounding a cloaked figure that walked into the house. The cloak figure took one second to look at the man, and promptly raised his hand and said "AVADA KEDAVRA!" causing a bright green light to issue forth from his empty hand. The bookish man fell to the floor lifeless. And suddenly the hidden house became visible for one and all to see.
Once Ahsoka had landed the ship, she quickly regained her sense of where the man she was after was located. "Interesting, it feels like the force is actively trying to deny letting me know the identity of the location where he is hiding, but in the process telling me exactly where he is, how odd." And with that Ahsoka was racing off in the direction that the Force was indicating.
When she arrived she came to a dead stop. "WHAT THE SLAG? There is nothing here, just an empty lot. What did they do? Hide an entire building using the Force? How would you even accomplish that?"
It was several seconds before something allowed Ahsoka to continue her self-styled mission. Something caused whatever was hiding the building to cease hiding it. Ahsoka promptly entered the building looked around for a moment, and took note of the dead human on the floor, "Yes, he is definitely dead. In fact he is so dead that there isn't an ounce of a trace of the force within his body. That must have been one effective means of killing him." She heard a scream from upstairs and the sounds of a verbal fight breaking out. Deciding to make her way up the stairs, she also decided to draw her lightsabers as well. Whoever this man was, it was clear he came here with the intent to kill.
She arrived in what appeared to be a… Nursery? Wow. And found the man having just killed a red haired woman and leveling his hand at a baby. "Okay buster, hold it right there. I don't know what kind of sick thrill you get out of slaughtering an unarmed man, woman, and helpless baby, but if you want, perhaps I can present something of a better challenge for you?"
The man, whomever he was, slowly lowered his hand, as well as his hood, and turned around to face Ahsoka. "What the hell are you supposed to be?" he asked Ahsoka.
Ahsoka smirked and said "I could ask you the same thing, what did you do to yourself? Not even the most corrupt of Sith Lords looked as grotesque as you do."
"What is a Sith?" the man asked.
"Based on what I am seeing here, you are a Sith. As such it is my sworn duty to put an end to your existence. So how about it, shall we do this? Or are you going to try to kill the innocent baby despite me pointing this nice lightsaber hilt at you?" Ahsoka said with a bit of a grin.
"Lightsaber? I have no idea what you are on about, but if we absolutely must." He then raised his hand and aimed it at Ahsoka.
Ahsoka smiled and promptly ignited her dual Lightsabers, and promptly got the reaction of "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL!?" out of the man, which caused Ahsoka to grin.
Regaining his composure, the man again aimed his hand at her and incanted "AVADA KEDAVRA!" issuing a bright green light towards the weird girl in front of him.
Ahsoka having already engaged her precognitive battle senses, and also her increased mobility, promptly infused her Lightsabers with the Force and used them to deflect the green light right back into the man's body.
As soon as he saw her deflect the green light and that it was coming back towards him the man had enough time to let out the expletive "OOOH SHI-"; before being hit by the green light which rocketed him back knocking the crib over, causing the baby to start crying, and into the far wall of the room, where he promptly exploded with sufficient force to bring down that part of the wall.
Ahsoka before he even got hit had already re-holstered her lightsabers and was running towards the direction the man was now flying, but not in an effort to catch him, rather to get to the baby and shield him. Once she arrived she picked up the baby and carried him downstairs, where she was promptly met by a rather large burly man who towered over her lithe form.
"And just who are you?" Ahsoka asked, getting a bad feeling.
"Me'names Hagrid, I've been sent to check on tha family what lives her. Is anyone inside still alive?" the giant of a man asked.
"Other than this baby, no," Ahsoka said.
"If'n ya don't mind, could ya give'im ter me? Dumbledore will be wanting him." Hagrid asked.
"And just who the slag is Dumbledore, and why should I hand him over?" Ahsoka asked in a rather testy manner.
"Dumbledore is a great man. He will see tha' tha boy is cared fer." Said Hagrid.
"I am sure he would. Unfortunately I am not in the habit of leaving force sensitive babies with just anybody. No, I think I will take him for now. And if you have a problem with it, you are more than welcome to try to stop me." Ahsoka said with barely contained mirth. She could just imagine this big lug trying to force the issue.
And sure enough he stepped towards her and tried to make a grab for the boy, "Ah, ah…" Ahsoka said after igniting her Shoto just under his chin. Hagrid gulped when he heard the hum that emanated from the glowing blade and hastily stepped back. "There is a good boy. Now please do run back to this Mr. Dumbledore and inform him that the boy will be looked after."
Hagrid turned to leave and did so without further word of complaint. Shortly after he had left though a roaring sound was heard and a man entered the house shouting "LILY! JAMES! HARRY! ARE YOU OKAY?"
Ahsoka was not amused. "I am sorry, but who are you? And who are Lily, James, and Harry?"
The black haired man suddenly stopped in his tracks where he had been heading for the stairs. That was when he noticed James dead on the floor. Following the sound of the voice he came to behold Ahsoka. "HOLY CRAP, what are you?"
"I am Ahsoka Tano. And my species is called the Togruta. I guess that basically answers your question. Now if you would be so kind as to answer mine?"
"Ah right, well James is that fellow over there…" he said indicating the guy who lay dead on the ground, then continued "Harry is that little boy in your arms…" while looking around and not seeing whatever he was looking for he said "Lily is about yay tall with violently brilliant auburn hair. As for me, I am Sirius Orion Black, and Harry's Godfather."
"Well then Sirius Orion Black, I hate to inform you of this, but your resident Sith Lord came to this house and killed James and Lily. I only just managed to arrive in time to stop him killing young Harry here." Ahsoka explained.
"I am sorry, but when you say 'Sith Lord' I am assuming you are referring to what we call a 'Dark Lord' in which case, that would mean that Voldemort was here. Oh Merlin, when I next see Pettigrew I am going to kill the bastard." Sirius said while smacking his forehead.
"Now hold on, what do you mean? Who is Pettigrew, and what does he have to do with any of what happened here?" Ahsoka asked as her brow crinkled in confusion.
"Okay, basically this house was under the protection of what is called a Fidelius Charm. A Fidelius Charm is cast on a secret and requires a secret keeper. The end result is that only the Secret Keeper will know what the secret is and only they can reveal the secret. I can only assume that the Secret was the location of James Potter's Cabin. When he died, the Secret could no longer function as this was no longer his house." Sirius explained
"I will need the explanation of what a Charm is given to me later, but other than that, that makes sense with what I was able to observe upon my arrival here," noted Ahsoka.
"Well, Pettigrew was the secret keeper, so, basically he told the Dark Lord where this house was. But it was that same Dark Lord who we were trying to hide the location of this house from in the first place," said Sirius.
"Okay, this may seem stupid, but why did you have Pettigrew be the secret keeper if he was going to just turn around and tell the secret to the man whom you wanted to keep it secret from in the first place?" snarked Ahsoka.
"Well honestly we didn't think he would do that. I grew up knowing Pettigrew; I just couldn't see him doing something like that," complained Sirius.
"I will give you the benefit of the doubt here, but perhaps you should let me take care of Pettigrew instead of you. I happen to have a bit of Law Enforcement experience back where I am from, and one thing I can tell you from experience is that it is never a good idea to let your emotions be involved when confronting a criminal; and it would be too easily for you to do so. Plus, he doesn't know me, so he wouldn't suspect me." Ahsoka tried in a convincing tone.
"Sorry Miss Tano, but you kind of stick out like a sore thumb around here. No offense." Sirius said with a bit of a smirk on his face.
Ahsoka grinned as she activated another trick that she learned over the years since she left the Jedi Order. Her appearance gradually began to shift until it took on the appearance of the woman whom she had seen laying on the floor dead in the upstairs nursery.
"Holy crap! Lils?" Sirius asked.
"No Mister Black, I only look like her. I have abilities like this which would easily allow me to blend in on this planet with little or no problem." Ahsoka said.
"Mister Black, if you wouldn't mind, I have this feeling that if we stay here much longer we are going to have most unwelcome company. So I would like to invite you back to my home, where we can continue this discussion in private, and without interruption. At least until such time that we can come to an agreement about what to do for the foreseeable future."
Sirius looked both relieved and nervous at the mention of unwelcome company and said "Yeah, let's do that. Feel free to lead the way."
And with that, Ahsoka disguised as Lily Evans Potter, began leading the way back to where her ship was parked. Once there she pressed the reveal button on the ships stealth remote control.
"Wow!" said Sirius, "I take it it's safe to assume you aren't from around these parts then?"
Ahsoka smirked and said "Whatever was your first clue?"
Sirius shrugged and said "As surprising as this might sound, you probably aren't the oddest species that has ever been seen on this planet" And with that they both boarded the spacecraft, with Ahsoka re-engaging the Stealth field once they were onboard.
