Explanations


Mace Windu was still perplexed by Barriss' earlier statement. All he was doing was looking at the strange orange lantern in her arms, and yet she snapped at him for doing that and held it closer to her person. Whatever that lantern is, it must be pretty important for her to want to protect it. But why did she call it her "orange shiny"?

As Barriss snarled at the council, Luminara could tell that this was going to get ugly very quickly. So she did the one thing that always calmed her down when she got this way as a youngling.

She put a hand on her back, and started to gently rub her hand up and down along her spine. Just like she thought, it worked like a charm. Not only did Barriss stop snarling, but she also transformed back to how she was before she put on that ring. The young teen shook her head to clear the cobwebs from her mind, and regained her composure.

"Whoa… what a rush!" Barriss said before asking "What just happened?"

"I will tell you about it later. For now, why don't you go to your quarters and get some rest?" Luminara suggested.

Not wanting to question her mentor at this time, Barriss just walked into the temple with her power battery held just as close. But before she left, she made the I'm watching you gesture at Mace Windu. An action that made Anakin and Ahsoka crack up on the inside.

"Uhhh, what just happened?" Mace asked.

"It is her orange ring." Luminara explained. "She told us that there are several different rings that have light color of the emotion spectrum. Her orange ring is fueled by Avarice. In other words, her deepest desires."

"So she has now been taken over by a greedy orange lantern?" Shaak Ti asked.

"I don't think so. Barriss appeared to be completely in control when she first transformed." Anakin replied.

Master Yoda didn't know what to think at this point. On one hand, greed was one of the many emotions that led to the Dark Side of the Force. And Barriss now more or less uses that emotion as a weapon. But on another hand, if she's fully in control, then there's a chance that she might remain on the Light Side.

"Hmmm… difficult to make, this decision is. Jump to conclusions, we must not. Meditate on the situation, this council will. Adjourned for now, this meeting is. Meet again in one week's time, we shall."


I know I said there's be a fight scene in this chapter, but I am having a small problem. I don't know who I should have Barriss fight first! I'm stuck between Grievous, Dooku, and Maul! If anyone has an idea, please let me know! And please remember to send in ideas for who should become a Lantern.
