This is an AhsokaxOC story. I'll start shortly after Ahsoka becomes Anakin's padawan. My oc's name is Cato Pax. I'm bringing the Grey Jedi into the Clone Wars show, and making Cato their new leader, the Baransu no Kage. I'll first be having him meeting Yoda and Windu, have them make a temporary alliance, until the war ends, or one side decides to end it. Cato will be working with mostly Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka. I'll be having him fight a lot of interesting characters, including Dooku, Ventress, Grievous, Maul and maybe even Sidious.

I own none of the Star Wars characters in this story, I only own my oc, Cato Pax.

Coruscant

A ship landed on Coruscant, with a special cargo. The Clone Wars were in full gear and the Republic needed assistance, and this cargo was the help they needed.

"Hey! Hey kid, wake up," the ship's captain cried, causing the boy to open his eyes and look at him. "We're here."

He then got up to see for himself. And just like the man said, they were on the city-planet, the capital of the Republic.

"Thank you for the lift my friend," he thanked the captain, shaking his hand. "And like I said, your troubles would not go unrewarded." The child then handed him a bunch of credits, which brought a smile to the man's face.

"Thanks kid," he said, and the kid nodded.

"By the way, which way is it to the Jedi Temple?"

"Just keep heading in that direction and you can't miss it," the captain answered pointing to their right. The boy then nodded again and walked towards that direction and the captain went back to his ship.

This child received many looks from many strangers as he passed by them, mainly because of his appearance. He was a human, about the age of sixteen, and quite tall for his age, about 5'-10". His apparel was quite similar to traditional Jedi robes, but they were of grey and dark grey coloring. He also had a grey trench-like coat that was apart of the robes, which also consisted of a hood. He wore on his calves grey colored greaves over dark grey boots that went up to his knees, and light grey vambraces over dark grey gloves. He had slight pauldron armor on, but it was mostly for show. All this was light armor, it was durable and flexible, so he could move quick and freely and still have some protection. Over all this he wore a fading grey cloak, much like the brown cloaks Jedi have.

Despite being scolded by those around him, no one dared to approach him, as they saw his grey eyes, filled with much emotional pain, but filled with great power and wisdom.

True to his word, the captain had not led the teenager astray, as he had finally reached the Jedi Temple. As he climbed the steps that led to the great house of wisdom and peace, he was awestruck. Even with all the knowledge that had.been passed down to him by his mother, he was still only a child and he could easily be impressed by certain things still.

After several minutes of climbing, he reached the gates to the home of the Jedi, carefully guarded by their trusted clone troopers. When the sixteen-year-old came to the entrance, the troopers stopped him.

"Sorry kid. The temple is off limits to civilians," their commander said with a tone of authority, but the boy wasn't moved at all by this.

"You shall let me pass," he said, using a Force Mind Trick.

"I shall let you pass," the commander said. "Let him pass men!"

'Sometimes it surprises how easily people can be persuaded,' the boy thought to himself. He then removed his cloak and handed it them, no longer needing it.

"You can keep that," he half-joked, then began walking into the temple.

Jedi Meditation Room

Master Yoda, ever calm and collected, was meditating peacefully alongside his fellow Jedi, Master Mace Windu, when all of a sudden, the little, green, pointy-eared Jedi, felt an odd disturbance in the Force.

"Feel it as well, do you, Master Windu?," he asked as he opened his eyes to look at his friend.

Master Windu was a powerful, wise Jedi master, in fact he's arguably one of the most powerful Jedi to ever live. He was human, middle-aged, he wore traditional Jedi robes with a tan coloring to them. He also wore clone trooper vambraces upon his arms, most likely to be ready for action at any time. The dark-colored Jedi then opened his eyes and looked down upon the Grand Master of the Jedi.

"I do Master Yoda. But it is a presence I have never felt before," he said. "What is it?"

"Last felt this presence, it has been a long time since I have. Light, I feel light, and at the same time, darkness. Of each a balance. To the temple, a Grey Jedi has come. Hmmmmmm..."

Mace Windu's eyes widened slightly at this. "A Grey Jedi? They are forbidden to come to Coruscant, much less enter the temple!," he yelled. "How could we have not seen this person coming?"

"Despair master windu, do not. The force, with all our knowledge of it even, always continue to surprise us, will. Dedicated themselves to learning more of the force, the grey jedi have, this one likely clouded our vision. Until now," Yoda said.

"You are correct, Grand Master Yoda," a voice said at the door. "I wanted to surprise you, and I didn't want to be killed on my way here either."

"How dare you step foot on these grounds!," Windu shouted getting up, and readied his purple lightsaber, and placed the blade at the boy's neck. "Who are you boy?"

Then the Grey did something unexpected. He used the Force and grabbed the blade of the lightsaber and Force Pushed it back into it's hilt. Windu and even Yoda stared at him stunned.

Then Masters Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi appeared, their blue blades drawn as they had heard shouting from inside. But Windu quickly raised his arm up to stop them from attacking.

"Skywalker, Kenobi! Stand down!," he yelled, they then put their lightsabers away. Then rebel Jedi turned to look at them. Anakin looked only a few years older than he was, slightly taller than him. He had long brown hair and wore dark traditional Jedi robes and had a slight scar traveling down over his right eye.

Master Obi-Wan was about the same height, in his late 30's, had short light-brown hair and a full beard. He wore traditional Jedi robes but with clone trooper vambraces and greaves and parts of the pauldron.

"Ah. The Chosen One and his master," the boy said. "I must confess, I am honored to meet you both."

"Yeah, whatever kid! Why are you here?!," Skywalker demanded.

"And where learn to do that did you, hmm?," Yoda asked, genuinely curious. "The only one in this temple who can use the force in such a nature I am."

The child then pulled down his hood and they saw his face. He was handsome, looked to have seen a few battles as he bore a scar that reached from above his right eye, across his nose and ending below his left eye. He had slightly long silver hair, and was attempting to grow a beard.

"I am Cato Pax, and as you have undoubtedly guessed, I am a Grey Jedi," Cato began. "I realize that my creed and I cannot come to the temple, or even the planet, but the Council of Balance have sent me, or rather, much to their dismay, I volunteered, to come and propose an temporary alliance between the Jedi and the Greys.

And to answer your question Master Yoda, you have already said it, the Greys have indeed delved deeper into our studies of the Force, and we have learned a thing or two."

Master Yoda then nodded in understanding, accepting his answer. But there was one question Master Windu wanted to know the answer to.

"And why would they disagree with you volunteer?," Windu asked.

Cato then smirked at this question. "I believed that the leaders of our orders ought to meet for a proposal such as this, especially during a galactic war."

Even Yoda's eyes widened slightly to this statement.

"Yes, I am the Baransu no Kage, head of the Council of Balance and leader of the Grey Jedi Order," Cato confirmed, reading their faces.

"Well, I suppose that makes sense," Mace Windu began. "But why would you want to align yourselves with us?"

Yoda then smiled, as he already knew the answer. "Us all, war affects, old friend. Likely began attacking the Grey Jedi and they wish to align with us to fight a common enemy, the Separatists have."

"But how do we know this isn't a trick?,"Anakin said.

"What would the Grey Jedi gain from it?," Obi-Wan reasoned.

"Indeed. Now I don't expect you to make a decision now, in fact I'd be ashamed if you did. You may speak to your own council about this, just please let me know of the answer you come to," Cato said. "But should you say yes, my requests are simple."

"That will depend on what they are," Windu said.

"I have three requests. One, I am given the military ranking of General. Two, I am to be briefed on any new developments in the war, which also includes me allowing me to voice my opinions. And three, I choose who work alongside with."

"And who did you have in mind?," he asked.

"Them," he answered, pointing to Anakin and Obi-Wan, surprising them both.

"No way will that ever happen," Anakin protested.

"Does he usually whine about a decision before it's even made?," Cato teased, it was enough for Anakin to throw a punch. Cato calmly Force Pushed him away from him.

"Anakin, calm down!," Kenobi yelled at his former apprentice. "The council shall make a decision first and then we shall see about his requests."

"They sound like acceptable requests," Yoda said all of a sudden. "To the council over this and we will inform you of our decision, we will speak. In the meantime,You to stay here in the temple, we will allow."

"Very well then. Council will meet as soon as possible," Windu announced. "Skywalker come with me and Master Yoda. We'll inform the other masters. Master Kenobi, would you please show Mr. Pax to a guest room?"

"Of course. If you would follow me?," Obi-Wan said as he began to walk away with Cato following him.

"We need to keep an eye on that kid," Skywalker said.

"I agree," Windu said. "Anakin, I want you to assign your padawan to the assignment of watching him. She is not to leave his side at any time."

Anakin would've argued, but he knew better than to argue in this sort of situation, and reluctantly nodded.

"Good, now go and find Padawan Tano," Windu said, and then Anakin nodded again and left to go find his student.

"What do you think of all this Master Yoda?," Master Windu asked.

"That this war has just taken an unexpected turn, I think. Good or bad, whether it be, who can truly say?," he answered and they both began to assemble the council.

Anakin

Anakin soon arrived to his padawan's quarters in the temple.

'I still believe that this is a mistake, but I cannot disobey the council on this,' he thought to himself, the knocked on the door.

Ahsoka immediately answered the door and then quickly fixed herself and made herself look presentable when she saw it was him.

"Hello Master," she said with a smile.

"Hello Ahsoka. You are not gonna believe what just happened," Skywalker said, peaking her interest.

He then went on and explained the situation, about Cato, his proposal and status in his order, everything.

"Wow," she said, to which he nodded in agreement. "What do you need me to do?"

"Master Windu has requested for you to accompany Cato wherever he goes," Anakin said, surprising her. "And if the council decides to take up this alliance proposal, he will be accompanying us when we go out to fight in the war."

"Just one question Master," she said.

"What?"

"What's in it for us anyway? This alliance."

"For one well have another ally against the Separatists. Other than that, we'll have to see what the council decides. I suggest you head over to introduce yourself to him right away."

"Yes Master, I will," Ahsoka said, and he smiled.

"Good. I need to head to the council meeting. Be seeing you soon, most likely."

"Be seeing you, Skyguy," she said and Anakin rolled his eyes at the nickname she had given him.

Meanwhile

Obi-Wan and Cato began talking after they left the meditation room.

"If you don't mind me asking, but just how old are you Cato?," he asked.

"Sixteen," Cato answered and Obi-Wan's eyes widened in surprise.

"Sixteen years old and already the leader of an entire order?"

"I took over the Grey Jedi after my mother was killed."

"I'm sorry to hear that," he said.

"Well she will never truly be gone, for she is one with the Force," Cato stated, making Jedi smile.

"How go things with the war on the Republic's side?," he asked.

Kenobi's smile then faded. "Not very well I'm afraid," he answered. "Whenever we seem togain a great victory on one planet, the Separatists seem to gain one as well on another. If this keeps going the war will never end, we must break this stalemate, but how is the question."

"Well, if your council will take my offer, I'll be more than happy to assist you in the war effort. I will send whatever knights I have left to all Jedi across the galaxy to assist them in whatever way they can."

"That is a kind offer, and if the council sees reason in accepting it, we'd more than welcome the assistance," Obi-Wan assured him. "With the way this war is going, we'll need all the help we can get."

"Do not fret dear Jedi, for in the end all wars pass," Cato wisely said.

"You seem to be far wiser than you should be at your age," the Jedi master commented as they finally reached Cato's room.

"Pays to have read every book about the Grey Jedi and the Force in existence. And you Jedi are not the only ones who strive to reach enlightenment."

"I think you and I will get along just fine Cato. I apologize for Anakin's behavior, you'll have to earn his trust."

"No apology is necessary. I've heard of his startling reputation, and expected as much from him, but I think he'll soon learn that me and him are more alike than he realizes."

Obi-Wan grimaced at this. "I certainly hope not I can only handle one of him," he said, getting a chuckle out of the boy. "Well this is where you will be staying for the time being. It's been a pleasure speaking with you, but I'm needed at the council room."

"Of course. Until the next time we meet, may the Force be with you," Cato said.

"And you," Kenobi said back.

'Either this boy is the perfect actor or he truly is who he says he is. If the council decides to let him help us, it'll be fun to have him aid Anakin and I,' he thought to himself.

Ahsoka

As instructed, almost immediately after her master left her, Ahsoka left to begin her mission. It didn't take long for her to find his room, as she knew where everything in the temple was inside and out.

When she got there however, she found him shirtless, and tinkering with something in his hands. She then made herself known. He turned to see the most beautiful creature he had ever laid eyes upon. And she then realized that he wasn't messing with something in his hands, it was his hands, he had cybernetic arms, just like her master.

"Uhh... may I help you?," he asked.

Then Ahsoka then realized that she was staring. "Oh um.. sorry... I'm Ahsoka Tano. You must be Cato Pax, yes?," she asked, still feeling a little awkward.

"That is correct. So you're the Chosen One's padawan huh?," he asked, earning a nod, and a blush as he had gotten up he began to show off his well defined chest.

'What is going on with me? I'm a Jedi, I cannot make attachments,' she thought to herself. Then Cato redressed himself back into his robes.

"I'm gonna have to guess that the council sent you here to keep an eye on me, right?," he asked.

"Wait. How did-?"

"It's what I would do," he explained.

"Well, yes they did. I'm to go wherever you go. I'm to never leave alone."

'I wonder if this day can get any better?,' Cato thought to himself.

"Well then, how about you show me around the temple? Something to pass the time and if we're gonna be hanging out a lot, I'd like to get to know you better," he said.

"Alright then, this way," the young Togruta said with a smile, which got one returned to her.

Well that's the first chapter. Hope you like it, let me know in the comments if you do. I haven't decided if I'll make up my own ideas or go off of episodes from the show, might do both. Next chapter will be about the council meeting for the most part.
