Rant of what I have just seen: 😖🤭

First one- I really hope not. Maul is my all time favourite, I have a weird obsession with him. However, the only time Maul ever found Obi-Wan is when he DIED. I don't think I can handle a live action REAL Maul death. I'd be dead. Unless we see him trying to find Obi-Wan, but I just don't want him to go to Tatooine, because then he'll die and so will I.

Second one- NO! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG! I HAVE THEORIES! I WANT MERRIN AND CAL TO MAKE OUT!!!!!! I WANT MORE CAL KESTIS DONT MAKE ME WAIT ANOTHER YEAR YOU CHEEK BITCH!

My Little Rebel - Inquisitor!Cal Kestis x Female Rebel!Reader | Part 9

Summary: You start the journey to restore the Jedi order, but things get a little tricky when your force bond with Cal gets a bit stronger.

Warnings: slightly nsfw

The bed was uncomfortable, stiff even. You tossed and turned all night and couldn’t seem to settle. You didn’t resort to the sofa or sleep on the floor, you decided to get up and pace around the ship for a while, pouring yourself a generous amount of blue milk and gulping it down since your body felt like it was on fire. You were sweating profusely, you even had two towels underneath each arm because sweat trickled down your sides and your back was layered with it.

You didn’t know what came over you, some sort of fever maybe. Your feet were even scolding against the ice cold floor of the Mantis.

You sat in the pilot seat, a small blanket wrapped around your shoulders and wearing nothing but a pair of shorts and a white vest. You had one leg up on the chair and the other dangling off it, a jug of refilled blue milk in your hand as the other rest on the hyperspace lever. The cockpit door was shut, you needed some privacy in somewhere that wasn’t your stuffy and cramped room. The cockpit was your favourite part of the Mantis, plus, you got to see hyperspace up close and personal.

Your breathing was shallow, eyes hazy and unfocused as your hand rested on the hyperspace lever. You yawned multiple times, wishing you had a comfortable and warm place to sleep since your bed was so stiff and uneasy to get comfortable on. The co pilot seat was comfortable but you knew if you fell asleep on it, your back would snap.

You had yet to face Cere, it felt as though she was avoiding you ever since you got back from Kashyyyk and it made your stomach churn, something didn’t feel right and it made you nervous. Merrin was friendly when you got back and helped tend to your wounds after Greez flew the mantis away from Kashyyyk. It seemed strange that Cere was avoiding you, had you done something wrong? Maybe said something you shouldn’t have?

Your thoughts were diminished at the sound of the cockpit door sliding open to reveal Merrin in red lounge wear and her feet wrapped up in bandages since she didn’t have any socks and the ship floor was freezing.

“It’s late, you aren’t tired?” She asked, closing the door behind her and walking up to the co-pilot seat to sit across from you and hang out with you for a while. You shook your head and let out a hollow sigh, unable to gather your thoughts so your mind shifted somewhere else and you decided to talk to Merrin rather than sit there and sulk about how many things felt wrong in your life.

“I couldn’t sleep, had a nightmare” You readjusted the towels under your arms and scratched your throat, eyes focused on the light speed view in front of you and feeling the tension in your body flush away. Merrin nodded and crossed her legs on the pilot seat, arms crossed behind her head as she watched the view with you and sat in silence for a few minutes.

The two of you seemed to be on okay grounds, you’d only just met her and you didn’t have a solid opinion of her just yet, but she was kind. You could tell she had no bad intentions, she was a loyal person and her protection over the mantis crew showed. Yodidnt want to push her into saying anything, but you assumed she was in a lot of pain from the past due to the fall of the Nightsisters.

You’d heard about it from Shaak Ti the day after it happened, she told you about the events about General Grevious invading Dathomir and killing the Nightsisters. It was clear Merrin was the last, you felt sorry for her. She was all alone, last of her kind and possibly wanted by many people. Almost like you in a sense, run away Jedi with no home and a large price on her head because of her powers.

It was a shame really.

“You know, I’d never seen light speed before until... until Ca-... Cere found me” Merrin immediately corrected herself, heart pounding in her chest because of her slip up but thankfully you didn’t suspect much. You tilted your head to the side, curiosity getting the better of you as your mind raced with thoughts and questions.

“The Nightsisters never took you off world?” You asked.

“No, only the warriors ever left. The Nightbrothers didn’t leave either, I mean all except Darth Maul and his brother Savage Opress” Merrin shrugged, smiling to herself as she played with her necklace.

“You mean the two most infamous crime lords during the clone wars? Kriff- I met Savage once, he was... scary to say the least” You chuckled.

“You did?” Merrin turned in her seat to look at you, eyebrow raised slightly as she listened to you.

“Yeah, I was 13. I got lost on Zanbar once whilst on a mission with my Master and bumped right into Savage” You said, drifting into a flourish of memories from that certain moment when you bumped into the massive yellow and black Zabrak all those years ago, you remembered how terrified you were. He looked like he would rip you in half, thankfully you got away before he could even lay a finger on you.

“What happened?” Merrin asked with a gasp, you had her full attention.

“I ran away, thankfully his speed wasn’t his most impressive skill so I managed to sneak away” You let out a short giggle and made the Nightsister smile.

“Impressive that you outran a Nightbrother, not many people live to say that” She smirked at you, stretching her arms and letting out a brief yawn. Merrin raised her legs up and rest the heels of her feet on the edge of the pilots seat, looking back out to the light speed view which was coming to a close as you reached for the lever and inched it towards you. She looked deep in thought, as if you sparked a conversation within her head as she looked at the stars that came into vision and let out a soft sigh.

“You know, I never got to ask you, how was Kashyyyk? Did you see the Inquisutor there?” Merrin asked suddenly, making your breath hitch in your throat as you jolted in your seat, thankfully she didn’t notice as she continued staring at the stars.

“I-uh, no- actually, I-I didn’t” You spluttered, cursing at yourself silently as your lips sealed shut and you awaited Merrin’s reply.

“I don’t see why you’d lie about seeing an Inquisutor” The Nightsister said before yawning. Kriff.

You didn’t say anything in return as you looked away from her and down at the panels in front of you. You curled yourself up in the chair, the leather squeaking as it rubbed together and the chair creaked slightly.

“Which Inquisitor was it?” Merrin turned to look at you again, her face showing no threat or anger as she tilted her head slightly to the side.

You inhaled deeply through your nose and rubbed your eyes which were heavy in exhaustion.

“The Eleventh Brother” Your voice cracked unintentionally as you cleared your throat awkwardly, suddenly unconfortable at the mentioning of your boyfriends galactic title. Merrin’s eyes widened, her mouth opened to say something but nothing came out. You both sat in silence for a few seconds, listening to the sound of space as you two shifted in your seats.

“Cere told me not to tell you in case I jeopardise the mission, but the Eleventh Brother is the man who was once in your position” Merrin spoke up, her words seeping in as you looked at her with wide eyes and gasped silently. It took a lot longer than necessary for you to process her words, heart pounding with shock at her words as she smiled to herself.

“In my position?” You asked, your feet settling on the floor as you leaned forward and turned to look at her, the seat spinning around so you were fully facing her.

“A long time ago, a young and brave Jedi... but he was just like the rest of them” The Nightsister’s smile vanished and she looked over to you with glassy eyes, as if she was hurting at her own words and struggled to hide her emotions.

“Yes; a good man he was, but let’s not dwell on the past” Merrin sniffed, wiping her eyes and pushing aside her emotions to smile reassuringly at you and nod her head. You tried to smile back to her, you wanted to ask her so many more questions but you didn’t want to push her. By the looks of it she was in no state to get into details about what she just told you, she probably wasn’t ready either.

“Want a refill?” Merrin asked, standing up from the co-pilot seat and acting as if nothing happened. To avoid complications, you nodded and thanked her, passing your empty jug to her and watching as she opened up the cockpit door to walk over to the kitchen.

You turned the pilot seat around and looked back at the view of blackness dotted with sparking white stars, eyes shifting from each star and trying to connect the dots to see if you could make any shapes by doing so. You had to stay quiet about Cal, and by the looks of it the crew had a few things they didn’t want to say about him as well.

If Merrin told you the truth, if she really meant that Cal was once in your position, then this mission was about to get a whole lot more difficult.

-

You retired to your bedroom after another half hour of sitting with Merrin and chatting with her about whatever was on your kinds. Cere and Greez were still in their beds, fast asleep as the ship floated through the galaxy and drifted to wherever. You finished off the jug of blue milk you refilled about 3 times and set it on the table full of tools and gadgets. You took the blanket off your shoulders and practically collapsed on your bed, eyes looking up at the window view right next to your bed which covered the whole wall, glass was the only thing separating you from the stars.

Your bed was lower than the platform which the table was on, a small set of stairs were at the side which connected the two platforms together. If anything, the interior gave you a sense of privacy, the table blocked out anyone from seeing you from beneath the platform.

Your eyes gleamed as they watched the stars, no planets in sight to watch as you slowly fell asleep and waited for the darkness to consume you. You heard someone’s footsteps outside of your room, you guessed it was Merrin since she slept in the room next to yours. Cere and Greez might’ve woken up with all the noise you were making by speaking with Merrin and pouring drinks at an unpredictable time.

Curioudly, you shifted to your side and raised your arm up to lean on it, eyes still focused on the stars outside as you yawned and let out a hollow sigh. There was a strange vibe about tonight, you didn’t know whether it was because you’d seen Cal today, or maybe Cere hadn’t talked to you. Either way, you couldn’t quite put your finger on it.

You closed your eyes, letting your imagination tire you out as your body slowly relaxed into the mattress and the stars merely became a vision in your mind. Tossing and turning in your bed, you tried keeping your eyes shut as the sound of unfamiliar shifting welcomed itself into your hearing. You felt a strange pressure apply beside you on your bed and you just about had a heart attack when your eyes opened.

“C-Cal?!” You exclaimed in surprise, legs immediately curling up to your chest as you shuffled away from your unwelcome boyfriend who sat, just as surprised as you were.

“Keep it down! What are you doing here?!” He asked, standing up from your bed and causing you to tilt your head to the side in confusion.

“What am I doing here? You’re on the mantis!” You stood up from your bed, not bothering to wrap your half naked body with your bed covers as you stood in front of him with your arms crossed and a stern expression all over your face.

Cal raised an eyebrow, full of attitude as he scoffed and looked at his surroundings.

“No, I’m in my chambers on Nur, how’d you get here...” Cal’s eyes trailed down below your face and he was immediately caught off guard. Rolling your eyes, you grabbed your quilt and covered your body with it as he blushed and cleared his throat.

“I have no idea, you’re in my room on the Mantis” You said, looking at Cal and realising he was wearing black lounge clothes which consisted of a long sleeved t-shirt and black joggers. His red hair was all messy and uncouth but you couldn’t deny that you found it attractive. Cal looked around his surroundings once more and hit his head with his hands, trying to make himself see what you were seeing. By the looks of it, neither of you knew what was going on and it was just getting all over the place.

“Alright, let’s just calm down” You touched his shoulder and felt your heart quicken at the fact you could touch him, proving he wasn’t just a fragment of your imagination. Cal flinched at your touch and immediately made you put your hand back down to your side, he was scared. Cal was scared someone might see you from his perspective, you were in his chambers standing beside his bed with not much on and also, you were the Jedi they were looking for, it would look mortifying.

Cal, after seconds of panicking, let out a vexed sigh, his gold eyes linking to yours as his body relaxed and the tension flushed out of his system. Cal took a step forward and hugged you unexpectedly, arms around your waist and chin resting on your head. You were quick to hug him back and wrapped your arms around his neck, letting out a sigh and closing your eyes as he gave your body a soft squeeze.

“Aside from the mystery as to how we can see each other, I’ll take whatever time I can get with you, even if this is just some sick illusion” Cal pulled a hand up and began stroking your hair, his voice held hints of wariness as if this was all some vision his mind created, as if you weren’t really in his arms. But you could feel it in the flesh, he really was here. Your Cal was here and hugging the daylights out of you.

The quilt was long forgotten and pooled around your feet, body cold but you didn’t care as the cool air made contact with your skin.

Cal’s warm body done you justice as he held you firmly against it, his chest pressing tightly against yours and making it slightly difficult to breathe as your breasts squished uncomfortably.

“If this was some sick illusion I couldn’t be able to do this” You leaned back and kissed him softly, closing your eyes and enjoying the feeling of his lips on yours. Cal hummed, grinning into the kiss as his hands travelled around your hips and back delicately, as if he was holding a piece of porcelain.

“Fair point” He chuckled when the two of you pulled apart for some air, his pale face flushed and gold eyes narrowed and focused on you. Your hand raised up to playfully ruffle his hair, earning a short protest from Cal as he waved your hand away and laughed.

“It’s cute like that” You commented casually, sitting down on your bed and picking up the abandoned quilt which was still in a heap on the floor. Cal joined you on your bed and for some reason he kept an appropriate distance away from you. You raised your legs and crossed them as you put the quilt over your cold half naked body, away from Cal’s lingering gaze and the urge to touch you he was currently fighting off. The Inquisutor looked up at you with a somewhat strained expression; you could tell something was on his mind. For an Inquisutor, for a man made for such danger, he was too easy to read. Maybe it was because you could sense it through the force or maybe he was just a readable person.

“Something on your mind?” You asked, hands cupped in your lap as you watched Cal clench his jaw and look away from you hurriedly.

“It’s nothing” He muttered, eyes drifting to your hands which were fidgeting pretty badly. He noticed the way your body was tense since he was here, in your bed. It was obvious there was a noticeable tension between the two of you, you hadn’t been alone with each other for a long time, in somewhere so private. The last time that was the case was in his Tie Fighter when the two of you first got together.

It was a while since then and the two of you had been relying on holograms. But now, you were alone and had enough time together, no interruptions and no people to pull you apart.

You watched as Cal breathed in deeply and scratched the back of his neck, he was thinking about something and something he didn’t want to tell you.

“I’m sorry I just- I’m trying to understand how you’re here but I can’t focus when you’re-“ Cal cut himself off and he was mortified he got so far in speaking, now he left you confused and unable to comprehend the situation.

“When you’re right in front of me, in my bed” Cal finished, sighing once he got the words out of his system and not daring to look at you as you processed what he said. You blushed, realising what he meant and feeling a tingling sensation spread in your chest as he finally looked back up and met your gaze.

“I’ve made this awkward, I’m sorry” He pursed his lips and ran his fingers through his hair, clenching his jaw once again and bobbing his knee as he sat at the edge of your bed.

You held the covers close to your lap but a part of you told you to push them away. Your instinctive urges started flooding your mind and soon you started feeling hot, your body flush as you looked at Cal with hazy eyes.

“You haven’t made anything awkward... if anything I feel the same” You mumbled, bringing your knees up to your chest which were still covered by your quilt. Cal looked up at you curiously and he seemed to relax a bit, his muscles grew less tense and he seemed to calm down by your words.

“You do?” He asked, his voice barely above a whisper as he narrowed his eyes and focused on the way your face flushed.

“Y-yes, I mean, this is the most alone we’ve been” You chuckled, the tension in your stomach tightening as he shuffled a little bit closer and rest his hand on top of yours. Your breath hitched in your throat and you felt your ears prick with warmth.

“I like this, having no one to disturb us” Cal inched a mischievous smile and looked at you with a darkening gaze. You nodded in agreement, your hand trembling beneath his as he picked it up and laced his fingers with yours. You didn’t reply to Cal and instead shuffled along your bed till your legs touched. You leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss on his lips.

Cal wasted no time as he cupped the back of your neck and brought you in for a more firm, passionate kiss. A yelp murmured at the back of your throat as Cal grabbed your thighs and straddled you onto his lap in the blink of an eye. Your lips didn’t tear apart as his hands were flat on your backside and held you close to him, hips pressed against yours as your tongues continued to dance. Cal moved one of his hands and stroked your bare thigh softly, earning a small whimper from you as goosebumps trailed along your skin and around your body. This appeased Cal and encouraged him to trail further up your thigh until his fingers grazed the material of your shorts, stroking it softly before giving the hem a gentle tug whilst his lips travelled down to your neck and gave it a soft bite. You tugged on his red hair, fingers digging themselves and balling into fists as he sucked and nibbled at the skin on your neck until he was certain there was a bloody mark on it. Your breathing grew raggedy and you were unconsciously grinding down on Cal slowly but surely. You sighed in pleasure as his mouth travelled lower, level with your collarbones.

“Cal-“ You whimpered, voice hoarse and breathless as Cal’s sharp K9’s dragged across your skin and nipped teasingly at it, dragging as many moans as he could as you squirmed in his arms.

“You’re so pretty like this” Cal growled, leaning back and looking up at you with dark, lustful eyes. You trembled in his lap, small noises leaving your mouth simply because of the way he was looking at you.

You were in for it now, Cal’s eyes spoke a thousand words and every one was far from innocent. He looked like he was about to tear you apart and leave you in pieces, use you and destroy you. His gaze was so heavy it made a pool of warmth form in the pit of your stomach. The feeling was delicious, his hands guided your hips down to grind against his once again and you felt like the wind had been kicked out of you. You slammed your lips on his and forced him down on your bed, your hands grabbing his wrists and pinning them at either side of his head. Cal giggled boyishly as he stared up at you with excitement, tongue running over his pearly whites as he watched you fight off a flush and gain your composure.

“Pretty baby” Cal muttered under his breath, in a flash you were on your back and the tables had been turned. Cal’s grip on your wrists made you wince bit you didn’t complain, distracted as his knee slid between your legs and up against the place most sensitive on your body. One of Cal’s hands laced with yours whereas the other held your hip, gripping your skin and leaving slightly red scratch marks as a result. You used your free hand to grip Cal’s shoulder as his knee pressed right up against your shorts and made you look away from his intense stare.

“I could have you like this all day” Cal groaned as he felt your heat against his knee, holding back so much as he looked at your face and how bright it was with the blush smothering it. You looked cute, he hadn’t seen you this shy ever so it was a whole new experience for him. You only whimpered in response, loving the way he looked above you and how feral he was with that dark, sinister sparkle in his gold eyes. You raised a hand up and cupped his cheek, stroking it softly with your thumb and feeling hints of stubble scratch against your skin.

You took a peek down as Cal’s knee which was still pressed tight against your core and blushed when you saw a tent in his joggers. The Inquisutor only smirked and pushed a strand of hair out of your face, his fingers trailing down your cheek to your neck to your chest. He only looked, asking permission with his eyes if he could go any further.

Just as you were about to nod, there was a loud knock at your door and it immediately made the two of you jump. Cal got off you quickly and you ran up to get the door, looking back to see that Cal was now nowhere in sight.

Frozen, you stood in your spot for a few seconds longer, trying to comprehend what just happened until another knock rattled you out of your thoughts.

You opened the door to reveal Cere with a worried expression, eyes finding yours instantly.

“Are you alright? I heard noises coming from your room” The older woman asked with concern, her eyes holding worry and good intention as she reached out to place a hand on your shoulder. Suppressing a blush, you nodded your head and cleared your throat.

“I-uh... yeah, bad dream” You rubbed the back of your neck as your other hand held onto the doorframe, trying your best not to look suspicious as your hand immediately hid the hickey on your neck from Cere.

“Ah, well that makes sense. Get some more rest, we’ll be landing on Bogano soon” Cere waved you off and turned around, walking to her room and leaving you alone in the hallway of the Mantis. You sighed out in relief when Cere was out of sight and sealed away in her room, rubbing your forehead and pinching the bridge of your nose as your eyes hurt with the sudden light in the hallway.

“It was just an illusion, calm down (Y/N)” You reassured yourself, closing the door and making your way to the construction table where your lightsaber lay untouched. You sat down, back of your thighs colliding with the cold material of the leather stool in front of the table. Clearing your throat once again, you picked up your saber and checked for any malfunctions. The only thing wrong with the saber was that the other side had been completely destroyed, you weren’t sure how long it would take to fix but you might as well start now.

You had a long journey ahead of you after all.

So how about that finale y’all?!

Victory and Death was an intense and incredible ride that had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, despite even knowing Ahsoka, Maul and Rex all survived it. The whole thing really made Order 66 all the more cruel and horrible, even after seeing it from the perspective of Cal Kestis. I really hope he and Ahsoka and Merrin meet at some point it would be really cool!

This fic contained massive spoilers for Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 7 Episodes 5-12 so if you haven’t watched them you have to go watch before reading this, please.

Defeat in Victory picks up immediately after the conclusion of Ahsoka and Rex’s story in Victory and Death, and sees the pair making a plan of what to do next - return to Coruscant the day after the night of Order 66. When they land Ahsoka seeks out Trace Martez, a woman incredibly close to her for aid in what to do next but her plans are stopped abruptly when a broadcast is sent out to the entire Republic on all civilian channels; the Republic is dead, it is Empire Day. Meanwhile Rex travels to 79′s Cantina to find the rest of the 501st under the new command of Commander Appo the afternoon after the raid on the Jedi Temple. Rex uncovers what waits for his clone brothers after what they’ve done and learns a truth that breaks his heart and destroys his soul...

I worked incredibly hard on this one guys, I loved it and honestly it’s both the saddest fic I’ve written but possibly the best so far. Clocking in 8,000 words I really feel proud this time. I’d really appreciate a share of this link, a like on the fic and a comment if you’re able and wanting.

I love Star Wars, I love Ahsoka, and I love writing for her. I’ll be back with more Ahsoka x Trace no doubt, but I think my next fic has to go thousands of years into past, I feel the urge to write for the one and only Darth Revan...

Enjoy <3
