Chapter 38 by Nanking

What's next?

Showdown in the Cargo bay

"Ahhh!" The Inquisitor screamed knocking over the pile of containers she had landed on. The cargo bay was full of several containers and various machines the pilot Hera was carrying. What and who these things were for was something the Inquisitor neither knew nor cared about.

"You're anger blinds you," a voice told her. The Inquisitor looked to see the naked Jedi jump down into the cargo bay with her.

"It's my strength, " The Inquisitor said smiling as she reignited her lightsaber, "and who are you to talk. Jumping down here, what a foolish move."

"Maybe," Ahsoka shrugged, "but there's nowhere left to go so why not be bold."

"I see." The Inquisitor said. She and Ahsoka began to circle one another as they spoke, "Well you certainly have a lot of experience being bold. Honestly how arrogant can a Jedi be to want to hide out from the Empire in their birthday suit?"

"It wasn't my first choice," Ahsoka said blushing.

"Yeah well this wasn't my first choice either," the Inquisitor said motioning to her black suit, "but I've learned to live with it. Just like you're going to have to live with being naked for the rest of your short live. I'm going to hall you back to Coruscant like that. I wonder what my Master will say when I present him with a Jedi nudist. Ha ha ha."

"Sorry to disappoint you," Ahsoka retorted, "but that's not going to happen."

"And why is that?" She asked, "Are you going to beat me with your bare hands?"

"Yes," Ahsoka said with a smug smile, "But first."

Ahsoka pointed and The Inquisitor followed her finger to see the Twilek from earlier standing next to an odd machine. A metal rectangle roughly the dimensions of a carbonite block. The Inquisitor had no idea what this device was or what it was about to do when Hera turned it on.
