Chapter 3

As Ahsoka and Luke finished their morning practice, they went to eat some food. Luckily for them, it was almost lunchtime. "Hello Luke, how was your training?" asked Uncle Owen

"It was good, I learned a lot," spoke Luke

"Mister Lars, your nephew is being very modest. He did very well, considering it was his first training session," spoke Ahsoka, "But, unfortunately, I still have a lot to teach him in ways of the Force,"

"That's good I guess," spoke Owen Lars. The four people continued eating the food.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I am afraid I would need to leave you three tonight briefly, since I need to contact my friends and allies in the Rebellion," spoke Ahsoka

"Do you need a lift?" asked Beru

"I can drive your speeder, but I don't know where to go," spoke Ahsoka as she sighed.

"I can take you to the nearest town," spoke Luke

"Luke, it's dangerous," spoke Owen as he looked at his nephew.

"But Uncle Owen, I will be very careful. I won't use the force like Ahsoka taught me. I just want to help my Master to get to the nearest town," Luke protested.

"Mister Lars, I will protect Luke. This is a stealth mission, and we will not attract attention. All I need is to do is to contact the Rebels. I need some transmission device," spoke Ahsoka

"Fine, but you will not attract the Imperial Troopers. We don't want any unnecessary attention," spoke Owen

"They won't notice us. Besides, Tatooine is an Outer Rim planet, Imperials hardly come here nowadays," spoke Ahsoka

Having convinced Owen Lars about the necessity of her mission, the Master and her Padawan soon climbed into the speeder. Luke piloted the small vehicle.

"Are we going to join the Rebels soon?" asked Luke

"No, I planned to tell the other Rebel Leaders that I am going to stay at this location for a while. They can handle themselves; I know that. Kanan and Ezra improved their skills, and with the help of Asajj and Katooni, the four of them should be able to survive any attack by the Inquisitors, save Darth Vader or Emperor Palpatine," spoke Ahsoka

"But will I join the Rebellion later?" asked Luke

"Yes, you will, I just don't want to endanger you. You are not ready; you lack both regular combat training and the Jedi training. Don't worry, sooner or later we will reunite with the others," spoke Ahsoka the two flew to the nearest town.

When they arrived, Luke parked the speeder, and then the pair looked for some way to contact the others.

"Take this, you might need it," spoke Ahsoka as she gave Luke one of her lightsabers. She did so very quietly and quickly, in a way that nobody would notice.

"Let's see, all we need is some tech that would help us to transmit long distance," spoke Ahsoka as the two walked for a while.

"Let's check this shop, maybe we can get the device in here?" asked Luke as the two entered a small boutique. As they entered, they saw a lot of junk tech.

"Wow, that's a lot of junk," spoke Luke as he looked around.

"We might still find our part here," spoke Ahsoka as she looked around. The owner of this boutique was not pleased with the comment about his equipment.

"What are you calling junk, boy?" asked an old Toydarian

"I am sorry sir, we are just looking for some transmission devices," spoke Luke as the Toydarian observed his guests.

"Interesting, you resemble a young man I used to own long time ago," spoke the Toydarian as Ahsoka placed her hand on her lightsaber, but then quickly withdrew. Despite her anger, she did not want to attract any unnecessary attention.

"Yes, you do resemble that young boy. It's a pity that I lost Anakin after a race and had to sell Shmi," spoke the man as Ahsoka quickly approached him.

"What do you know of Anakin Skywalker?" asked the Togruta Jedi Master

"You know about Anakin Skywalker? He was my slave, a boy who I just descried," spoke the Toydarian, "Why do you want to know about him?"

"I, Anakin is, was my family. Anakin Skywalker was also Luke's father," spoke Ahsoka as she relaxed. She heard the stories about Watto, he might have been greedy, but he would not work with Imperials.

"Ani was your father? I am sorry for your loss," spoke Watto as he saw a lightsaber at his belt.

"Also a Jedi," smiled the Toydarian. Ahsoka face palmed, Luke needed to better conceal his weapon.

"He is my student. We need to contact some friends," spoke Ahsoka as Watto hesitated.

"I, certainly. I will help the son of Anakin Skywalker," spoke Watto as he flew away, soon bringing a small device.

"Here, you will be able to contact your friends. Be careful, young Skywalker," spoke Watto as he flew towards a table, and took out a bottle

"I guess we have what we came for," spoke Ahsoka as the two exited the shop, and returned to their speeder.

They soon returned to the moisture farm, where they sat in Luke's room, ready to talk to the other Rebels.

"This is Senator Leia Organa speaking," spoke a female voice. A woman, who was probably eighteen or nineteen looked at the people who contacted her.

"Leia, this Ahsoka Tano, I need to speak with your father," spoke the Jedi Master

"Father is not here. He went to help Mother deal with some local dispute on Alderaan," spoke Leia as she noticed Luke

"Master Tano, you found another ally?" asked the Princess

"Yes, this is Luke Skywalker," spoke Ahsoka as she introduced her Apprentice.

"My pleasure, my name is Luke Skywalker," spoke Luke as he then introduced himself to Leia.

"Leia, I need to speak with Jedi. Is anyone there?" asked Ahsoka as she heard another voice from the other end of the line.

"Hey Leia, who are you talking to?" asked the voice as he approached, and also looked at the holo transmission, "Hello Master Tano,"

"Ezra, where is everyone?" asked Ahsoka

"Not here. Kanan and Hera are on some mission, while I was left to babysit the Princess," spoke the young Jedi Padawan, who had blue hair.

"Hey, I do not require your services, Padawan Bridger!" spoke Leia as she quickly left the room, leaving only Ezra to talk to Ahsoka and Luke

"So, you found a new Padawan? A new Jedi! This is so cool!" spoke the young man, who was also around Luke's age.

"Ezra, this is serious. Is there really no one in the Rebel Base at the moment?" asked Ahsoka

"Leia, Sabine, and I are here. Wait, also Katooni is here," spoke Ezra

"I need to speak with my former student," spoke Ahsoka as she glared at the young Jedi.

"I will call her," spoke the young man, as he ran off to find the Jedi Knight. Ahsoka sighed; having three teenagers in the Rebellion was difficult, four would now frustrate her.

A Tholothian woman in her late twenties soon approached the holo transmission. "Katooni here," spoke the woman as she instantly recognized her former Master

"Katooni," began Ahsoka

"Master, are you fine? We were so worried; you just disappeared. Where are you, I will lead the mission to rescue you," spoke the woman

"Katooni, please calm down," spoke Ahsoka, "I am on Tatooine. I found Luke Skywalker, and now training him to be a Jedi. I will reunite with the others some time later, but meanwhile, I want you all," spoke Ahsoka, as the younger woman interrupted her.

"Wait, Luke Skywalker?" asked the woman, as she looked closer at Luke, "Are you by any chance related to Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker?"

"You knew my father?" asked Luke

"Father? Force, Ahsoka, I did not know you not only found a new Padawan, but also began training the son of your former Master," spoke Katooni

"That is why I need to stay here for the time being. Tell others not to worry about me, I will just continue training Luke," spoke Ahsoka

"You do look a bit like your father. I only saw him a few times, but he was a very brave man. And since you are Ahsoka's Padawan, that makes us family," smiled Katooni

"Just tell the others I am fine," spoke Ahsoka with annoyance

"Will do Ahsoka, Katooni's out," spoke the Tholothian Jedi Knight as she ended the transmission.

"Were those other rebels?" asked Luke

"Yes. We will meet them later on, but for now I think we should have another sparring session," spoke Ahsoka

"Master," complained Luke

"I see that you have a lot of energy, so you should practice your lightsaber skills further. Come, my young Padawan, we have a lot of forms to cover," smiled Ahsoka as Luke groaned.

As Ahsoka and Luke practiced, a small ship arrived on board of the Executor. "Inquisitor," spoke a man in his forties as he approached her.

"I am not a mere Inquisitor, Agent Kallus, I am the Emperor's Hand," spoke the woman as she activated her purple lightsaber and pointed it at the man, "I need to speak with Lord Vader,"

"Yes, of course," spoke Agent Kallus as the woman in her early twenties walked through the halls of the large ship. She deactivated her lightsaber. As she walked, she noticed that the Storm Troopers and the Moffs stepped aside.

"Jade," spoke Darth Vader as he senses her approach him

"Lord Vader, the Emperor sent me to help you in this matter," spoke Agent Mara Jade.

"I am well aware. Fulcrum, or one of Fulcrum's people fought near the Tatooine system. Go there, and investigate. If you find this Fulcrum, make sure the Rebel stays on the planet, so that I will deal with this annoying Rebel," spoke Lord Vader

"My Lord, I thought I would be helping you, not do your work for you. The Emperor," spoke Mara Jade as Darth Vader moved his hand. The woman rose in the air and began gasping for air.

"I know that the Emperor sent you to help me, but I will not chase every lead. That's your job. I need to crush another uprising. After you find Fulcrum, contact me," spoke Vader as the young woman gasped for air and then fell on the ground.

"Do not think that you are my equal. If you fail me, the Emperor will just send me another Inquisitor," spoke Darth Vader as he raised another hand, lifting Mara in the air once more. This time he did not choke her, but instead threw her away from him.

As Mara stood up, she walked slowly away from bridge. This time, her pace was much slower, since her body was in pain.

"You won't get away with this," thought Mara Jade, but she knew that she could do nothing towards the Dark Lord of the Sith; he was the Sith Apprentice, and the Emperor would be very displeased if she hurt Darth Vader. She remembered the last time how lightning hurt her body.

Mara Jade climbed in her ship, and put the coordinates into navi computer. The ship entered the hyperspace. The Emperor's hand would soon start her search to find who this Fulcrum was.

As Luke and Ahsoka trained outside the moisture farm, an old man dressed in a brown cloak meditated in his small house. As he meditated, he sensed two force signatures close by.

"Luke, how?" thought Obi Wan Kenobi, as he sensed the identity of the other Jedi, "Ahsoka, what have you done? Luke is not ready,"

Obi Wan was displeased, he now needed to make sure that neither Anakin's former Padawan, nor his son would do anything stupid.

A/N: So, Luke met some of the other Rebels and is now training to be a Jedi. Mara Jade is now in pursuit. And Obi Wan is annoyed that Ahsoka began training Luke without consulting either Yoda or him about this. Regarding Mara, I have interesting plans for her; she would play an active role in this fanfic.

Next: Luke meets Mara.
