The Outer rim planet of Yerbana, was the home to one of many contested territories, between
the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems. Despite initially failing to gain
any ground, Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi and the 212th Battalion, are aided by Jedi knight
Anakin Skywalker, and after completing their victory, they are met by a curious transmission
reported by Admiral Yularen. Expecting to be greeted by Saw Gerrera on their return
to the ship, it is in fact Anakin’s old padawan Ahsoka Tano, asking for their help
in capturing Maul. Soon discussing this in person with Bo Katan, they do not appear to
be arriving to an agreement, when Obi-Wan reveals that Grievous had arrived on Coruscant,
and the attack on Mandalore would be without the two Jedi, as they needed to rescue Palpatine.
The Jedi succeeded in their rescue of the Chancellor by killing Dooku, and Ahsoka was
able to temporarily apprehend Maul, but none of these victories could match the deception
of Darth Sidious. So what if Ahsoka had joined Anakin and Obi-Wan to rescue Palpatine? How
could Ahsoka’s change affect the outcome of the Battles on Coruscant and Mandalore?
As you are going to discover, the former Jedi padawan will alter the course of history…
As Ahsoka, Anakin and Obi-Wan stood in the hangar of the Republic destroyer, they continued
to argue over the need to go after the Chancellor. The alarms around the ship were suddenly drowned
out by Bo Katan, who knew that politics had taken over the Jedi order, and asked for the
Jedi to intervene after the Chancellor’s rescue. Obi-Wan agreed to prevent any further
delays, and they jumped into their starfighters to navigate through to the flagship of General
Grievous. With the 501st Legion assisting the Jedi and Ahsoka in their ARC 170 Starfighters,
the trio make their way through the airspace of their home planet largely unscathed, and
calmly landing in Grievous’ hangar bay they jump out of their ships and ignite their blades.
The battle droids are no match for them on their way to the observation deck, where Ahsoka
and the 501st Legion hid in one of the turbolifts, in the event the Jedi needed their intervention.
R2-D2 alerted Anakin and Obi-Wan that Dooku’s arrival was imminent, and freeing Palpatine
from his shackles, the astromech and Rex locked down the lifts to prevent the Sith from arriving.
Before Dooku could cut his way out, Anakin, Obi-Wan and Palpatine joined the Republic
forces in a neighbouring lift, as they ran through towards the bridge. Unfortunately
for Anakin and Rex, they are trapped in one of the ray shields, leaving Ahsoka, Obi-Wan
and the 501st legion to protect Palpatine. Barging through the entrance to the bridge,
the cyborg general Grievous stood tall in front of them, and Obi-Wan assumed his familiar
battle stance to fight the famed Jedi killer. The Jedi master cleverly drew out the duel
from the bridge, leaving Ahsoka and the 501st Legion to defeat the Magnaguards and Battle
droids and gain control of the Invisible Hand. Deactivating the ray shields to free Anakin
and Rex, the Jedi knight burst out and jumped into Obi-Wan’s battle with Grievous, when
the ship began to tilt from Ahsoka on the controls. The cyborg gripped on to the walls
of the ship, whereas the two Jedi held each other in the air with the Force, and Rex used
an ascension cable to get to the bridge. With the Republic ships opening fire on them, the
flagship soon split into two with Grievous managing to find Dooku, and the Jedi and Rex
cling to the remainder of the ship, until Ahsoka landed the ship on one of Coruscant’s
emergency runways. With the inferno being put out by Coruscant’s firespeeders, Ahsoka
cut a hole through the bridge window, and dragged the clones out, then began to lift
any obstructing pieces of the ship with the Force, where Anakin and Obi-Wan were dragged
out from the wreckage, and taken to the halls of healing for medical examinations. This
left Ahsoka and Palpatine to take a senate shuttle bus to the senate building, where
they are met by chorus of applause from the other politicians, and even Mace Windu. The
master of the order asked Ahsoka to head for the Jedi Council tower, to discuss her request
to help Mandalore, whilst escorting the Chancellor back into his building, and the former Jedi
ran to the place she had used to call her home. Most of the Council had departed for
off world missions, but Yoda was present, and given her rescue of the Chancellor, they
allowed her to take Anakin and Obi-Wan to help her mission, assuming they had recovered.
The Grandmaster wanted Maul alive, but Ahsoka crossed her arms, and informed him that it
was for Bo Katan to decide, and she turned to the medical bays. Anakin and Obi-Wan had
cleared their medical tests, and walking back to the clone barracks, Anakin receives a transmission
from his mentor Palpatine, asking him to go to his office. The Jedi turned to Ahsoka and
Obi-Wan, and whilst he was grateful for the invitation, he explained that he had another
mission, and promptly gathered the 501st legion and the 212th Attack Battalion. Palpatine
was not impressed by Anakin’s rejection, and his plan to test Anakin, so he walked
to his holotable, and found Dooku and Grievous in one of the last remaining dreadnoughts.
The Sith Lord ordered for the Separatist leaders to take the remainder of their Council, to
the security of Mustafar, and after this mission, they would head to Mandalore to deal with
an old adversary, whom Sidious could sense was beginning to cause him irritations once
again. His first plan may have not gone the way he wanted, but he would not be stopped
from ultimate Sith control. That is it for part 1 of what if Ahsoka joined
Anakin and Obi-Wan to rescue Palpatine. If you’d like to see a part 2 soon, please
