Order 66 – Escape To A New Place

Ahsoka Tano was reading in the comfort of her quarters in the Jedi Temple when it began. The first thought that ran through her head was that someone had accidentally let off a blaster weapon, but that was swiftly dismissed by the sounds of multiple shots. She put her book down, picked up her lightsaber and left her quarters for the source of the sounds. Ahsoka was walking down the corridor when her mind was suddenly filled with the deaths of many Jedi. It felt like a heavy object had slammed into her very being, and she staggered into a wall. It took her a few moments to block out the cries of so many Jedi being killed through the Force, and she continued her journey. When Ahsoka entered one of the many halls of the temple, she saw the floor littered with dozens of Jedi – Masters, Knights and Padawans alike. They had all been killed by blaster rifles which she could tell from the holes that had burned through the bodies of the dead. Ahsoka's lightsaber dropped into the ready position in her hands, and she looked around at the total devastation. The smell of burning and burned flesh hung heavily in the air, and it nearly caused the young Padawan to be sick. She took another look around and saw a group of Clone Troops in their distinctive white body armour, and she made a force run the 70ft or so towards them. She had almost reached them when they turned and trained their rifles on her, but the leader of the group stopped them from firing. Ahsoka thanked a few deities that the troops where from a regiment that she knew well.

"What is going on here?" she asked the leader.

"One moment" requested the leader, and he turned and spoke with the troops under his command using a comm link that she didn't hear. The troops turned and went off and Ahsoka heard more Jedi being killed in the temple, and the whine of blaster rifles being fired.

"What is going on?" asked Ahsoka once more.

"The Emperor has ordered us to kill all members of the Jedi" replied the Captain, and he removed his helmet to reveal the face of…

"Rex?" Ahsoka's mind was spinning with everything that was happening. "Who is the Emperor? I don't understand what you mean!" she exclaimed.

"The Chancellor has proclaimed himself Emperor and has ordered all clone troops to execute Order 66. Order 66 is to kill every member of the Jedi" the clone finished. Ahsoka nearly fell to the ground with shock, and she felt hot tears running down her face – not even bothering to remember that she was a Jedi and that she had to be brave at everything she faced.

"Will you…" she paused, "Will you kill me?" the girl asked. Her lightsaber was still in her hand, but she was too shocked to use it on a clone she considered a friend.

"I had those troop leave to search the lower levels" Rex replied, "I haveserved with you for a while now, and I can not bring myself to kill you. The troops will return in less then five minutes. I suggest that you leavethis place and never return to the Jedi temple again" he told her, and Ahsoka looked up to stare at him.

"Why?" she asked quietly, noting that most of the screams had now gone.

"If I could have had you exempted from this order, then I would – but I couldn't" Rex replied, sadness crossing his face. He seemed to consider something before speaking to her once more. "When the troopers return, I'll have them start a search from the other side of the temple, and that should giveyou enough time to get a few things from your quarters and then make a run for it" and Ahsoka for some reason put her lightsaber onto her belt.

"Thank you" she said quietly to him. Rex was about to turn and go away, when something else occurred to him.

"When you have got what you need from your quarters" he said, not wanting to see the looks of hurt, betrayal, angel, sadness and many many more, "Go to the Artifacts room. Look for the Dimension Jump device – it might help you" and with that he put on his helmet and walked away from Ahsoka's life forever.

As for the person concerned, Ahsoka ran all the way back to her quarters and packed spare clothes, a pair of blast pistols, a comm device and a small holomapof the planet's surface. For some reason she also took the book she had been reading, and put it in her backpack as well. Ahsokatook a long hard look at her quarters; she reached into a drawer for a small explosive device that she had kept from a mission with Anakin Skywalker. She briefly wondered where she her master was, but then she dismissed the thought. The Padawan activated the device and placed it on the inside of her door so that the next people – presumably clone troopers – would be severely injured or even killed from the explosion. She closed the door for the last time, and then used a partial force speed run to get to the Artifacts room and, as promised by Rex, she met no clone troops. The Dimension Jump device was where it always was, and Ahsoka took it from the pedestal on which it sat. It was as big as a large novel, and the girl sat it down on the stone floor.

"Now what do I do?" she asked the device, and to her surprise it lit up and started to hum loudly. It wasn't long before the noise filled the room and caught the attention of the clones. They came towards her but did not fire – wanting to get a good accurate shot. Ahsoka went for her lightsaber and lit it up, and she swung it around as the closest troops started to fire at her. The highly skilled Padawan was able to deflect the deadly bolts of death coming from the rifles, and Ahsoka wondered if the device could get her out of the temple. She put her mind to the task at hand, and she sent the bolts towards the clones whom all fell down dead. Not knowing much about the device, she addressed it directly. "Describe functions" she ordered.

This unit is able to send people to another dimension. This unit is the only one of its kind, and this unit has not yet been tested. Ahsoka knew she didn't have much time until new troopers arrived.

"What happens during transport, according to design plans?" she asked it.

This unit will transport a person to another reality. NOTE: the process is one way only. As another unit has not yet been built, there is no way to return.

"Clarify"

The process uses enough power to destroy this unit. The trip is therefore currently one way only.

"So I would be stuck with no way to return?" Ahsoka asked, her mind still hearing the death calls of the remaining Jedi.

Affirmative was all that the unit replied with. Ahsoka thought for a moment and then decided that if the Jedi were being wiped out and exterminated, then there was nothing left for her here.

"Activate" she ordered the device.

Order not accepted the unit shrilled, device locked from dimension jumping. Ahsoka could have screamed, but she could sense clones coming fast to the room she was in.

"Override"

Override code? Ahsoka didn't know the code off hand, but her memory told her of something she had overheard Master Kenobi speaking of to Master Windu and Master Yoda.

"Override code: Alpha Zulu six-eight-nine" and the device suddenly pitched up in noise as the clones burst into the room and started to fire right at her.

Device activatedand without any other warning, there was a flash of light and the last surviving Padawan in the great Jedi Temple vanished from the room she stood in. She now stood in a room full of human looking children who all wore black robes – rather like a Jedi's. Suddenly the strange looking room started to spin, and Ahsoka fell like a ton of stone to the floor in front of a boy and a girl.

"Okay…" said the raven haired boy, "Any ideas on what just happened?" he asked his brown bushy haired companion.

"None" the girl replied, staring in surprise and wonder, "Nothing really springs to mind actually" she added. The rest of the people in the room looked at the sight of the red skinned creature with long tail like things coming out of her head. The top most parts were covered by a headdress of some kind, and the tendrils twitched slightly.

"So what do we do?" asked the raven haired boy, "She doesn't look very well – like she has just been through something terrible" and the bushy haired girl nodded and put her book down on the little table in front of her and took out a small pointed piece of wood. She waved it at Ahsoka and the Padawan rose into the air – with the backpack still on her back – and took her towards a door in one wall.

"We better take her to the hospital wing" the bushy haired one said, "I don't care who or what she is, but she needs help so I'm off to the hospital wing with her" and the two vanished. The raven haired boy picked up a piece of something that looked like paper, and then followed the pair.

"Wait up Hermione" he called, "We'll use the map. I don't feel like meeting Snape or Filch tonight" and the girl he called Hermione turned briefly and smiled back at him.

"Thanks Harry" Hermione said, turning back to the floating Ahsoka, "I don't think that I could possibly explain this if I met both or one of them" and Harry smiled.

"I know. Lets get her to the Hospital Wing and see what Pomfrey can do" and together the two took Ahsoka down long corridors in order to get her some help.

A/N:

A short chapter here, but I wondered what you would think of the fic first. I'vetaken the plunge and decided to do a crossover – so here it is. I got the idea after watching the Star Wars – Clone Wars film and also Star Wars: Clone Wars TV show. Knowing about Order 66, I wondered what happened to Ahsoka. Knowing that she was most likely killed during the events of Order 66, I decided that she was too sweet and good a person to die, and so I'm writing a fic to explain what happened to her.

So…

If you liked the chapter and the idea of the fic, then let me know

Regards
