The planet of Mortis was one shrouded in mystery, with some believing it to
be the birth of the Force. Entry onto the planet was granted by the Force itself,
and three such visitors were the Jedi of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano.
There Anakin conducts a test to determine if really was the Chosen One, and the Force wielder
known as the Father asks him to remain, for fear of disrupting the galaxy. Anakin ignores him,
but as the Jedi go to leave, Ahsoka is kidnapped by the dark side wielder the Son,
who manages to possess her with the dark side, and she fights Anakin and Obi-Wan.
After the Son claims the dagger of Mortis from her, he kills Ahsoka, and he aims to kill the
father, but the daughter steps in the way, as the Son flees in shame of what he had done.
With her final act, the Daughter transfers her life Force into Ahsoka, and the padawan
lived again. But what if Ahsoka had actually died on Mortis? How would this affect Anakin?
As you are going to discover, her death could have resulted in seismic differences for the galaxy…
Anakin rushed over to the side of his young padawan, and could sense that her life had
vanished from the work of the Son. Turning to the Father for his help, he could do nothing,
as the Daughter’s life Force had to be channelled back into the planet, and retain the balance
of the Force. Anakin let out a large roar that echoed against the walls of the monastery, but
the Father quickly eradicated his memory alongside Obi-Wan’s, then orders them to leave the planet.
The Jedi have no choice but to leave, fearing the wrath of the Son, and leave in their shuttle,
waking up to the voice of Captain Rex. The clone is quick to spot the empty seat of Ahsoka,
and the Jedi are stunned, reporting the disappearance to the Jedi Council.
The Jedi are at a loss to explain Ahsoka’s sudden loss, but Plo Koon can no longer sense that the
connection he had developed from her childhood. Upon their return to Coruscant, Yoda speaks to
Anakin by the Great Tree, and the Jedi knight recalls that Qui-Gon had spoken to him,
but could remember nothing else, before asking for the Grandmaster’s help in searching for Ahsoka.
Yoda guides Anakin to join him and the Council, in a bid to search for the presence of Ahsoka,
meditating for an entire day, but could not find her as they had expected. But once Yoda found
himself alone, he heard Qui-Gon, who informed him that Ahsoka had indeed died to the outside world,
but her presence could still be reached, as it operated as a beacon of the light. Yoda tells
Anakin of his padawan’s fate, but Anakin is still unwilling to relinquish all hope. The hope remains
very faint within the Jedi knight, and as he left the steps of the Temple, he ignored the looks of
those around him to enter his speeder. The Jedi entered into the Uscru Entertainment district
and entered the ropey Outlander Club to drown his sorrows, then headed to clone bar 79’s.
There Anakin is joined by members of the 501st clone legion, who were also mourning the loss
of their commander, and found the explanation given by the Council to be suspicious. Suddenly,
a shadow darkened the entrance, and there stood the annoyed frame of Obi-Wan, tracking Anakin on
the orders of Senator Padme Amidala. Anakin threw his tankard at his master, but his direction was
wayward, and he knocked some death sticks out of a dealer’s hand and onto the floor. Obi-Wan has to
perform a mind trick to avoid further trouble, and dragged Anakin back to the Temple, before
going to Master Yoda and Mace Windu. The Jedi masters realise that Anakin would never be able
to relinquish his bond to Ahsoka, and he needed a meditative retreat to ease his troubles away from
the war, despite the need to rescue the recently captured Master Piell from the infamous citadel.
Obi-Wan walked back to his padawan’s quarters, but to his horror, it was completely empty. The Jedi
master ran to Padme’s apartment, but the senator did not know either, and began pacing about her
apartment in panic. The Jedi master noticed that Anakin’s loyal astromech R2-D2 had also vanished,
meaning that he would likely be out of Coruscant in his starfighter. Obi-Wan sprinted to the Temple
hangar, and checked the docking logs, discovering Anakin had only recently departed, and ordered
Admiral Yularen from his destroyer to deactivate all of the hyperdrive docking rings above the
planet, but they had been too late, as Anakin had disappeared. One who had sensed the Jedi
knight’s diversion had been Chancellor Palpatine, standing outside of his desk, and gazing into the
night sky. The Sith Lord knew that Anakin would be fuelled by the dark side after the loss of
padawan Tano, and decided to warn Dooku that Anakin was about to face him with a vengeance,
but the apprentice had greater concerns, as he tried to ensure Master Piell would not escape
from the Citadel, and the Nexus route coordinates would fall into their hands. Palpatine told Dooku
not to underestimate Anakin, not realising that both he and the Jedi Council, had been wrong
about the intentions of the Jedi knight. That is it for part 1 what if Ahsoka died
