《Dark Past: Abuse- Anakin & Ahsoka》Chapter 13: The First Sign
Advertisement
She dragged herself up. She would not allow some simple pain to stop her, but her heartbeat began to quicken and she felt disoriented. She wobbled a bit, grabbing onto a nearby switch to stabilize herself.
"Snips, you coming?" Anakin asked, turning around concernedly.
"Coming, Skyguy!" Ahsoka called after him. She tried to take a step forward before a loud whirring sound echoed through the room.
"Clankers!" Rex yelled, with an air of sarcastic ecstasy.
Ahsoka stabilized herself and charged forwards, but ran into a droid.
"Ahsoka, what did you do?" Anakin asked annoyedly.
She didn't reply. The world was spinning, and she felt feverish. She looked back and tried to find the switch she moved, but everything was a rainbow of colour. Everything was flying around in her mind.
Then, darkness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Is Ahsoka okay?" A voice said shakily. "Did a droid shoot her down?"
"No sir, I think she may have collapsed from exhaustion. Happens a lot on the battlefield. I'm surprised she made it out alive. The clumsy droids must have assumed she was dead." Another voice replied.
Ahsoka woke up with a start. She looked around and found herself on the bed in the transport ship she had been in the last time she went to Raarsis.
"It's okay, Snips." It was Anakin. He set his hand comfortingly on her shoulder.
Young one, you are in danger!
She gasped. "What? Why am I in danger?"
Everyone looked very confused. "Look, little'un, you took quite a blasting out there. Best if you rest." Rex said softly. The clones filed out of the room. Anakin stayed behind.
"If you need help, Snips, I'll be right here." He smiled, almost apologetically. He handed her a few pills. "Painkillers for your ankle, if you need any." He stood up to leave.

"We'll take care of the rest of this mission ourselves. You'll miss out on a lot of fun." He teased.
"Aw, shut up!" Ahsoka laughed.
Find medical help! You need it, now!
Ahsoka tried to push the strange voice out of her head. Why would she need medical help?
Because you are injured badly, can't you see?
"Pfft," Ahsoka rolled her eyes. "I just fainted, that's all."
You are blind to your troubles. You're blinded by pride.
"But I'm not injured!" She protested weakly to the voice. "Collapsing doesn't warrant any medical scans."
Heed my warning. You have little time, young one.
She disregarded the voice. She was obviously hallucinating, or something like that. Must be a side effect of fainting.
Not a side effect. The Force, here to help you. Not a hallucination, either.
"Then what are you?" She asked irritably. She was tired of the mind games. First a mirror image of her future self. Now, a voice that was driving her crazy.
We have met before. Just listen. Don't try anything to harmful to your current physical state.
"I don't care. Are you some sort of prank Anakin is playing on me? Well, if you are, you aren't deterring me from going on the mission." She snapped. Ahsoka swallowed two grey tablets and immediately perked up. The painkillers were very useful.
Don't be proud, young one. Don't let pride be your downfall.
"Okay, bye." She shouted as she grabbed a backpack, racing out of the ship to join in the battle.
Oh, how she would regret it.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
