## Chapter 2: The Interrogation

The Inquisitor's eyes seemed to bore into Ahsoka's very soul as he stood over her, his lightsaber still humming with power. He gestured to his guards, who tightened their grip on her, holding her down on the cold, metallic table. "So, Ahsoka Tano," the Inquisitor began, his voice low and menacing. "I've heard a great deal about you. You're quite the accomplished Jedi Knight, aren't you?" Ahsoka spat at his feet, her defiance evident. "I'll never tell you anything," she said, her voice firm. The Inquisitor chuckled, a cold, mirthless sound. "Oh, I think you will," he said. "You see, I have a way of...persuading people to cooperate with me. And I think you'll find that I'm quite...persistent." Ahsoka struggled against her restraints, but they were too strong. She was trapped, and the Inquisitor's eyes seemed to gleam with excitement at her predicament. "I'll give you one chance to cooperate, Ahsoka," the Inquisitor said, his voice dripping with sadistic pleasure. "Tell me everything you know about the Jedi Order and their plans. If you're lucky, I might let you live." Ahsoka laughed, a cold, hard sound. "You'll never get anything out of me," she said. "I'll never betray my Order." The Inquisitor's face twisted in anger, and he raised his hand, his fingers closing around her wrist like a vice. "We'll see about that," he said, his voice dripping with malice. Ahsoka felt a surge of pain as the Inquisitor's grip tightened, her bones creaking under the pressure. She bit back a scream, her eyes flashing with defiance. The Inquisitor's grip relaxed, and he stepped back, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Let's begin," he said, his voice dripping with sadistic pleasure. "We'll start with something simple. What's the current state of the Jedi Order? How many Knights are there, and what are their plans?" Ahsoka remained silent, her jaw clenched in defiance. The Inquisitor's face twisted in anger, and he raised his hand, his lightsaber humming to life. "You have a choice to make, Ahsoka," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "You can either cooperate with me, or suffer the consequences. The choice is yours." Ahsoka looked up at the Inquisitor, her eyes flashing with defiance. "I'll never cooperate with you," she said, her voice firm. "I'll never betray my Order." The Inquisitor's face twisted in anger, and he brought his lightsaber down, the blade slicing through Ahsoka's robes, exposing her skin. Ahsoka felt a surge of pain, and she begged for mercy, but the Inquisitor just laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. The Inquisitor began to circle around her, his eyes drinking in her fear. Ahsoka knew that she was in grave danger, and she steeled herself for what was to come. She would not betray her Order, no matter what the Inquisitor did to her. As the Inquisitor continued to taunt her, Ahsoka felt her resolve begin to weaken. She was in terrible pain, and she didn't know how much more she could take. But she refused to give in, her defiance evident in her eyes. The Inquisitor's eyes seemed to gleam with excitement at her predicament. He knew that he had her right where he wanted her, and he was determined to break her. Ahsoka knew that she had to think fast, or she would be lost forever. But as she looked into the Inquisitor's eyes, she saw only darkness and madness staring back at her.
