What's up guys? So thank you to all who reviewed in the last chapter. I hope you enjoy this chapter as the story continues! Just to clarify that the Apprentice Tournament is in the Star Wars Universe. It's just that I made some of the rules up.
Disclaimer: Own Star Wars, Nice it is, but RAM Film Studios owns it not.
On with the story!

Eleesha was doing well. For the most part, She had won 2 of her matches with the other Padawans with slight difficulty. The rules for the tournament were simple. Each Padawan battled another for 3 matches. 2 lightsaber burns and you lose the match. She found out that the last and final opponent she was facing Caleb Dume. The Force told her that this match wasn't going to be easy. So She did what her Master always told her, study the enemy, find his weakness, and use that weakness against him. Unfortunately for her the Jedi Knight overseeing the tournament called out her match before she could really sense his weakness.
She would just have to think quickly. Eleesha mentally groaned. Unlike her practical Master she was not great at improvising. As she walked to the arena she sensed that her Master had joined the crowed. She looked for her, and sure enough, there her Master was.(AN: I know Ahsoka is really late, but Opps.) Ahsoka, knowing that her Padawan had sensed and was looking at her, gave a encouraging smile and waved. Eleesha found new strength and confidence in her Master presence. She knew that she would try her best no matter what. Or as Master Yoda said, she would 'do her best.' because there is no try.
The Jedi Knight yelled start. Eleesha activated her green blade and Caleb activated his blue one. Both lightsabers were tuned to the lowest setting for safety. He was the first to move. He swung his lightsaber to the right. Eleesha blocked it though Caleb swung it so hard that she was pushed back a little. Caleb swung his lightsaber again. She blocked it again. It went like this for a little while, until Eleesha decided to go on the offensive. She moved her blade in the form of an uppercut. Her opponent blocked the upcoming strike. The young Pandorian decided to Force push her opponent away, and it hit and forced the surprised human backward. Using that as her advantage she used her lightsaber and thrusted. Sharang! Eleesha's lightsaber touched his side. They pulled back, as was customary, to give each other a little break.
Eleesha would have smiled right there and then if it wasn't for the battle still going on. Meanwhile Caleb almost lost it right there, but he forced himself to calm down and countered attacked. Kick, block, slice, block. The human Padawan was showering a onslaught of attacks. Eleesha found it hard to counter attack so she just kept blocking. Kick, block, slice, block. This wasn't looking well. I have to think of something and fast. I almost reached my limit. Eleesha thought. Arag! If only she had enough time to think. Sharang! Caleb's lightsaber touched her shoulder. Rancor legs!
Caleb smirked, this was it the first one to get another burn was the loser. He looked into his opponent eye. He saw determination, and it was radiating from her. This only gave him more determination. They both knew that they would give it their all. They both used the Force to enhance their speed, and they were going all out. To the untrained eye all you could see was big blurs of movement. The clashing and humming of lightsabers in the air. Until finally both jumped apart from each other. Eleesha and Caleb were both breathing heavily. They both took their stance and flew at each other. Sharang! Caleb's saber touched Eleesha's knee, and Eleesha's touched Caleb's shoulder. It was a tie.

Eleesha was proud and disappointed in herself. She was proud on how far her lightsaber skills had come, but she was disappointed on how she couldn't strategize quick enough and therefore giving her opponent an advantage in the first place. Will she ever be able to improvise like her Master?
"Eleesha?"
The voice snapped Eleesha out of her thoughts. She looked up, and saw the slightly concerned, yet proud look, on her Master face. They were heading to Dex's Diner for a celebratory lunch. "Sorry Master," She tried to change the subject, hoping her Master would get the hint. "What did the Council want?"
Luckily for the young Pandorian, Ahsoka got the hint, and sensed that it wasn't anything of immediate danger moved on. Though she wasn't going to forget those words of pride for her daughter-like, sister-like Padawan. "Good job on the tournament today. I knew you could do it."
Feeling slightly uncomfortable with such praise, Eleesha answered with a slight nod and a 'thank you.'
"Your lightsaber techniques have improved greatly."Ahsoka, answering to her Apprentice question continued, "The Jedi Council has assigned me a new mission, and I got some payback for all those times that SkyGuy teased me when I was his Padawan." Ahsoka smirked at that.
Eleesha giggled a little and asked, "What did you do this time?"
"Ah, Well it is for me to know, and you to find out."
"Master!"
"Yes, my young apprentice?" Ahsoka was getting splendid amusement from this.
Eleesha, sensed her Master's amusement from teasing her, was secretly vowing to totally get payback latter. She decided to end the Togruta's amusement with this. "You better watch out you know, Master, I might team up with Master Skywalker and we can plan revenge." Eleesha's face gained a dangerous smirk.
Ahsoka's amusement stopped right there. She could handle both her former Master and Padawan's payback separately just fine, but with both of them combine...
She shook her head she did not want to think about it.
Seeing on how her plan had worked, Eleesha smiled to herself. "Hey Master?"
"Hmm.?"
"Will I be coming with you on your mission?"
Ahsoka slightly hesitated but replied back. "Not this time, Apparently the Council has other plans."
"Other plans Master?" They were at the door of the Diner.
Ahsoka smiled. "Yes, but I wouldn't want to spoil it. Come let's eat!" The two Jedi walked into the bar.

The food at Dex's diner as always was good. Not healthy but good. As the two Jedi walked back to the temple they saw a Jedi ship that was coming from the atmosphere of the busy planet that looked oddly familiar.

Padawan Katooni sighed, it had been a long mission especially since she had Master Ti with her. Having any other Jedi Knight or Master besides Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-wan was tiring. For one, her Master and others were a lot more lose on missions. Going along with Master Ti she had to be more disciplined and orderly. At least they got the mission done, they had been assigned to escort a Senator back to his home world, and they hadn't experienced any trouble.
Their ship had landed in on of the Temple's large docking ports. She stretched and noticed, through the ship's window, a familiar Torgruta filling up one of the Jedi shuttles with fuel near by. She looked to Master Ti.
"Master Ti?"
"Yes, Padawan Katooni." Answered the experienced Jedi Master.
"Errr..."
Master Shakk Ti, understanding the silent request, replied,"Yes, you may go to Knight Bonteri. I'll report to the Council and tell your Master where you are."
Katooni bowed, "Thank you, Master Ti!" Katooni hurried out from her seat on the ship and raced off to talk to everyone's favorite Jedi Knight.
Master Ti shook her head. Smiling at the Padawan's excitement to see the younger Torgruta. There was no doubt in the older Torgurta's mind that Ahsoka would reach the title of Jedi Master, and maybe even a seat on the High Council like her former Master. May the Senate help them if Ahsoka gets a seat on the High Council. Shakk could hear Anakin and Ahsoka sitting on their chairs, exchanging insults at each other until they drove the other Council members mad. The Jedi Master got a headache just thinking about that.
