A minute passed, then another, then another and Sara just sat there, ice cold shock filling her veins. Her heart beat like a snare drum, quick and rapid thumps that filled her ears. She suddenly lunged across the room and grabbed underwear and a shirt. Sara ran through the door and strapped up, turning on the ship and flying out of the hangar. She thought back to what Ava had said. 'Temple.' There was only one temple that Ava ever talked about and only one Sara thought she could be connected to. The Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Though first, Sara needed help. She quickly dialed up Leo, getting put through after a minute or so.

"I thought you'd be using this time to get reacquainted with Ava." Leo smirked.

"We did, but she was arrested, and I think she's at the Jedi Temple."

"Wait, why?"

"When I met her, she had a bounty over her head from the Jedi Order."

"So she's been on the run for at least four years?"

"Yeah, and they finally found her." Sara sighed. "God, I don't even know what they're gonna do to her."

"It'll be fine, Sara. We'll meet you there, okay?"

"Okay. Thank you, Leo."

"No problem." He nodded ending the call.

Sara sighed, gripping the wheel hard and controlling herself. Now was not the time for a rampage. Maybe later, but not until Ava was safe. The ride wasn't too long, but it felt like forever. Passing through the streaming lights of stars she passed.

Even though Sara was on a mission, she still couldn't help her thoughts of what might be happening. Thinking of the worst even though she tried to blind herself with hope. Leo rang again and Sara instantly picked up.

"We're here and so is Ava. It's looks like she's being walked into the temple, but we're not allowed in, the guard says Jedi only." Leo sighed looking at the guard.

"Okay, okay, I'm only like two jumps away, I'll be there soon. Just call up Cracken and tell him what happened."

"Wait, we don't really know what happened." Leo failed to tell her as she hung up.

Mick turned to Leo and shrugged. Ray glanced over as he began to call up their boss.

Ava was walked into a cell where she was given one of her uniforms.

"Will you let my partner be at the trial?" She asked.

In response the guard gave a single nod and walked out, locking the door behind himself. Ava took out the blue tunic and white pants and put them on, pulling out the light blue wrap and tying it around before putting on her dark grey boots. Ava looked down at her light grey cape and put it on, fixing her hair in a quick bun. Ava sat down on the bench and waited for the guards to come back. Minute after minute passed with her completely alone in the dark sound absorbing room. She remembered that this was something she had to do. She took pleasure in keeping order at first. Ava felt like a fool now. The Jedi kept order before the Empire, now, now they were a desperate dying breed with fewer and fewer followers as the Empire picked them off. It was only a matter of time before this place was gone, too. Ava stood up and walked around the room, deep thoughts permeating her mind like many prisoners before her. That's what this was meant to do, break the prisoner with dampened sounds and no colour. I really just left her time to talk to herself.

"I'm so stupid." She whispered. "I should have never escaped with Sara. I should have just let them turn me in. Or more, I should have just gone back, running was never my style." Ava pressed her head against the wall and sighed. "Maybe I should have run away with instead of staying with the Alliance. God, I'm so stupid!" Ava slammed down to her knees and pressed her hands against the wall. "I'm so weak." She took a deep breath and covered her face.

Sara ran out of the ship, still buckling her pants, and met her crew outside the building. "Hey, how do I prove I'm a Jedi?"

"Oh, I don't know." Ray shrugged.

The Guard glanced at Sara and nodded, moving aside.

"Like that." Leo sighed. "We'll be here then."

"Okay."

Sara walked up the steps and into the building. She glanced around and saw a young man walk up to her.

"Miss Sara Lance?"

"Yes?"

"Please follow me."

Sara nodded and followed him, messaging Cracken before calling him up. She was lead into a large room with high ceilings and three tall pedestals with a few pews for witnesses to sit in. Sara sat in the front, alone after the jedi left her. She glanced at her watch, waiting for anything to happen.

"What happened, Sara?" Cracken asked over her watch.

"Ava was arrested and now we're at the Jedi Temple. I think she's on trial by the look of the room."

"What did she do?"

"Well she left her post about four years ago and we've been running and doing your deeds."

"So a dishonourable discharge?"

"Yes, but I don't know what the punishment is?"

"Expulsion from the Order?"

"I guess so. You know, Ben told me that there was a large Jedi Council, but I only count 3 seats."

"Things have changed a lot. Be careful about the sith. You're important and we need you two."

"Can you stay on to hear in?"

"Yes. I'm going into a meeting, but I'll be here for you guys."

"A meeting?"

"Talking about the suicide mission."

"Who's there?"

"Representatives from out Allied planets."

"Good, maybe you can help us, we've gotten a few more people, but not even 100 yet."

"That's alright, soon we'll be known throughout the galaxy and take down the Empire."

"Thank you, Cracken."

Cracken nodded and waited with Sara. Only a few moments later the court sprang to life. Guards filled the room, then Ava was walked in, standing before the council chairs. Finally, the three council members sat down and the trial began.

"Jedi Knight Sentinel Ava Sharpe, You are charged with abandoning your post 6 years ago and evading officials for said time. The minimum charge with this disgrace is lifetime of servitude to the ancient texts and removal of all awards of honour. How do you plead your case."

"I-"

"Wait." Sara blurted out, standing up. "I have some help, someone who can plead her case."

"I'm sorry, young madam, we do not allow lawyers."

"They're not a lawyer. They're her current employer."

"I'll allow it."

"Thank you. Cracken?" Sara introduced turning her watch to create a live feed hologram.

"Thank you, Sara." Cracken nodded, turning around to face the Master of the Order. "Though Ms. Sharpe did leave her post, she has proven herself time and time again to be a true hero to her crew and to the Rebel Alliance. She is a brave soldier who sacrifices herself to help us. She has stolen information from the Empire and spied for us for the years she has been with us. Sharpe has matured over the years and will go down in history as a Legend. Because of her skills, her work in battles has been more than helpful and has helped us take over territories for the Alliance."

"Thank you, General Cracken. Maybe we can negotiate a form of punishment for your soldier because she has been great help?"

"I think I can help." A young voice broke in. A woman in white with dark hair took Cracken's space. "My name is Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan. As a major party in this Alliance, I suggest that we take custody of her and have her fight until she can no longer do so."

A moment passed before the Master of the Order spoke, taking his time to look at his peers and then to the hologram. "Princess Leia Organa, We accept you offer. You now have full custody and responsibility of Jedi Knight Sentinel Ava Sharpe. This trial is adjourned. You are free to go."

Ava bowed and nodded, waiting for the guards to unlock her necklace and handcuffs, turning around and hugging Sara.

"Thank you." She sighed, holding her tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much." Ava gasped out, holding back joyous tears.

"I will do anything to protect you, Ava, I love you. To be honest, I don't know what I would do without you." Sara confessed pecking her cheek. "Now, we still have a job to do. You ready for my drama?"

"How bad can it be?"

"You'll be surprised."
