Blackgate penitentary.
A shackled John wakes up in a prison cell, he turns his head to the left and sees two clones gambling.
Clone 1: Hah! You owe me 30 credits.
Clone 2: Hey, well look at that, our special guest is awake.
The two of them enter the cell, one clone starts beating up John while the other one just stands there and looks out to make sure no one sees the act.
Clone 1: I hope the gut you for what you did, murdering the king of Pantora, and right in front of his kids no less.
John: Are you idiots serious? Why would I kill the person I was assigned to prote....
He is cut off when the other clone punches him in the face.
Clone 1: We were there, we saw you standing over the body of the king with his throat cut by a light saber, and that so called mercenary jet you stole has the marking of the League of Shadows, sworn enemies of the Republic.
John (thoughts): Damn it! My whole alliance with Ras has only gotten my into trouble, and now the Pantorans want my head.
The other clone stops beating him when Master Yoda walks into the room.
Clone 1 and 2: General Yoda!
Yoda: At ease be, take the prisoner to the interrogation room at this moment.
The two clones release Johns hands from the shackles and escort him to the interrogation room, he sits down at a table with Yoda as he orders the clones to leave.
Yoda: Now alone we are, speak we may of what truly transpired during the attack on the capital.
John: You honestly don't think I did it?!
Yoda: No, I fear that compromised the Jedi are, when you sent me the incriminating information about the Chancelor, almost immediately there was an attack in our systems, all the data gone it is.
John: I made some copies of the information in my jet, I don't think they've found it.... yet.
Yoda: Good news that is, but right your instincts were, the Chancelor truly is a spy of the Confederacy, stop him we must, but first tell me you must have what transpired in the capital.
John: Why does that matter?
Yoda: Clues we must find, if successful your mission is to be.
John: Alright, we were stationed in a cap at the edge of the city, it was early in the morning when the king sent a messenger for us.
Three days ago, camp outside of Pantora.
John and Ahsoka wake up in their beds, John gets out of his bed and kisses Ahsoka on the lips, she puts her hands around his neck and reels him in for a long kiss, they stay like that for a few moments before stopping when they hear a soldier coming up to their tent.
Messanger: Sorry to wake you up Padawans, but the king requests your presence on the battlefield, the final attack on the capital is going to begin soon.
Ahsoka: Thank you for telling us, report back to the king and tell him well be there soon.
The messenger leaves as John starts to put his Jedi and clone armor on.
Ahsoka: Ugh! We can't even get a minute of privacy here.
John: Sigh, I know but we have to keep a low profile about our... relationship
Ahsoka giggles for a minute before getting out of her bed with only her blanket covering her up. She opens her drawer and starts putting on her clothes.
Ahsoka: Well, you were the one who kissed me after you came back to the temple, you still haven told me what happened to you.
John (thoughts): Yeah cause tell her an organization of master killers recruited me into killing the angel of the Republic our dear Chancelor is something I really wanna say in a conversation.
John: Lets just say it was an eye opening experience, ready to move out?
Ahsoka: Yeah, let's go.
They exit the tent only to see dozens of heavy cannons bombarding the city and dozens of clones frantically running around in disarray, they barely manage to reach the king who is inspecting a heavy cannon and talking with his advisors.
Magnus: My lord, we really should get out of the line of enemy fire.
Demavend: Non sense, we are perfectly safe here.
Just as he finishes his sentence a nearby explosion occurs killing several nearby clones, the two advisors run away in a panick with the king not even flinching and silently laughing at them.
John: Enjoying yourself, your majesty?
Demavend: Ah John! Ahsoka! Good to see you finally on the battlefield, at least some ones got the balls to fight, no offense my dear.
Ahsoka: None take.... your majesty.
She nervously laughs when the king moves to a nearby boarding ship.
Demavend: I'm afraid only one of you can come with me on this mission, soldiers on the eastern side of the battlefield have been suffering massive casualties and require more Jedi.
Ahsoka: Il take the eastern side, im not taking another suicide mission.
John: Oh come one, the first bombing wasnt that bad.... was it?
Ahsoka: It was worse than you heard.
Demavend: If you two are finished, John come with me, we have to leave immediately.
The two of them enter the shuttle, but are delayed when the Pantoran soldiers don't arrive on time. Most of them clumsily try to put their armor on with the king shamefully looking at them.
John: Those are the guys coming with us? This wont end well.....
Demavend: Tell me about it, all those rich pretentious bastards on the court sending their 20 year old imbeciles that can't even hold a gun right have been killing our military for years now.
John: They don't have any training?
Demavend: No, most of their parents cuddle them like babies and then toss them into a war for glory, GET YOUR ASSES ON THE SHUTTLE!
They clumsily board the shuttle some of them even dropping their weapons and helmets before, Demavend and John cant help but laugh in their faces for several minutes before finally calming down. The shuttle takes off and begins to enter the enemies kill zone.
John: Your majesty, do you know why would the countess Riya turn against you?
Demavend: I like you John, you're just the type of Jedi the Order needs now, and you've more than proven yourself a worthy warrior, so Il let you in on what really happened, you see me and Riya had a bit of a.... fling a while ago.
John: So its true, those kids in the fortress really are your children.
Demavend: Yes... but she wanted to make demands I couldn't fullfil, she has always wanted to join the Separatists and now that we finally reached the tipping point, the whole planet is at war. I hope I can trust you with this information and that it stays between us.
John: Of course your majesty.
Suddenly the whole shuttles starts shaking, it spins out of control and makes a crash landing on the fortress wall.
Demavend: Cough, cough, John you still with me.
John: Yeah, cough, did we reach the fortress?
Demavend: Yes, but we have to get off the walls, were completely exposed up here.
Demavend reaches the shuttle controls and opens the doors, his men prepare their weapons. But are quickly demoralized when they see dozens of rebels and droids surround their shuttle, the droids point their weapons at the shuttle and stand there for several moments before getting the order to fire.
John: Well your majesty, looks like things finally got interesting.
John ignites his light saber and prepares for the coming onslaught.
