Sorry about missing last week, I thought I had uploaded this and then realized I hadn't! Thanks for all the favs and follows guys, it makes me feel good knowing there are people enjoying my stories.

Months flew by, the Jedi settled into a routine of setting things inside the temple to rights and practicing in the afternoon. Those who weren't Jedi and were not easily recognized or could blend in well would go in search of food for their group about once a week, but they too also helped with restoring the temple, at least the inside of it and practicing as well as they could without drawing attention. Many things had been restored, the lift to the upper levels, the library had been straightened out and a few of the classrooms restored.

The Jedi from the former Order set up the lessons in languages and such while each Jedi or former Sith took their turn in showing their techniques and coming up with ideas for lightsaber practices. Luke noticed that Ahsoka had been quieter than usual since their talk with his masters and father. He recalled the way her eyes had widened at the mention of the something ancient and after lightsaber practice was over for the day, he was determined to ask her about it. That is, if he lived through it. Ventress was teaching on the use of duel blades and he had been paired off against Ezra, both of them were making terrible progress.

Yes they were using training sabers, so there was no real danger of death, but his mind couldn't seem to comprehend that, probably caused by Ezra's equally wild swings with his off arm. Ventress seemed to be trying to hide a grin, along with Ahsoka, at the attempts of their fellow Jedi. That was something else, Ventress had become a Jedi, trading in her red crystals for one green and one purple. At the last second, Luke pulled his thoughts back into the fight, stopping Ezra's blade with his own. Ventress scoffed and said "Very good, but next time, why don't you both try doing that with your non-dominate hand?"

Luke had all he could do no to roll his eyes. Speaking of non-dominate hands, he really needed to check his right hand to make sure it was still running smoothly later. It was something he had managed to keep from the others and something he wouldn't mind keeping until he had a chance to prove himself. It was one thing to say he fought a duel with Darth Vader a couple of times, it was another thing entirely for him to be able to hold his own with a robotic hand. He had had trouble proving that to his fellow Rebels, they tried giving him all the easy missions, he didn't want to go through that again with the Jedi.

This time he was too slow to block the blow and Ezra won the match. "Great job." Ezra said, reaching out a hand to shake Luke's, though his eyes said he knew he had been distracted. Before everyone could shuffle off, Luke said "I think it's time we held a meeting. It's been almost a month since our last." He absentmindedly rubbed his right wrist, as Kanan said "What's the point? Everything has been moving along smoothly." "In my history, it is when the times are running smoothly that you should be ever more vigilant." Luke replied. The others conceded he had a point and so, after rounding up the others, they sat down to do so.

Once everyone was settled, Luke turned to Ahsoka and said "You have been quiet ever since that meeting with my masters and father months ago. What did they say that has you worried?" Ahsoka looked down and fiddled with her fingers for a long moment before replying "Something they said, and the look Anakin and Obi-Wan shared, made me think that it had something to do with what happened to the three of us one time. It's a long and hard to explain story, but let's just say we ran into physical representatives of the light side and the dark, ancient beings. They are called Daughter and Son, Daughter represents the light side while Son represents the dark side. Both died during our visit, but I see no reason why they couldn't have returned, for we can't truly destroy either. Anyways, the Son could have been revived by the Emperor and I'm sure he would bring great pleasure in destroying all the light Jedi he could. I'm not sure it is him, but I know that Obi-Wan and Anakin both suspect it is."

Those sitting around the room, for they had chosen the old Council room for their meeting, were quiet, each mulling this over in their own minds. If Ahsoka was right, then it made sense why they could not lose their enemy until they had come here. The question was, which was voiced by Katooni "What do we do now if it is him?" Hera simply asked "Ahsoka?" Ahsoka sighed and said "I do not know, I can tell you what I know about him, that he can turn you to the dark side by biting you, that he can take many forms though they all have the same beady red eyes and I'm not even sure if that is possible in our world, for where we met them I am sure was not a part of our galaxy."

"But as for how we defeat him, I don't know. Anakin had to work together with Father, essentially the he was the one that kept them in check, to kill the Son. And we know that numbers alone won't do it, look at what happened on Edjei." Luke had been staring out the window at the city scape, when he turned back and said "What if we used my father as a distraction? If all of us went at him then we should be able to defeat him if he is distracted. All I know is that I am tired of hiding out like a criminal. Not that being in the Jedi Temple isn't great, but I long for the freedom to move about as I please, don't you?"

Everyone, especially those who hadn't been able to leave the building at all since arriving, nodded their heads as Petro asked "So what are we going to do?" "We need to leave Coruscant, draw him away from our only safe spot so that we can return here if we need to." Ezra spoke up. "I vote we head to get the Ghost. If it comes down to an air fight I want the ship I know best under me." Hera stated. They quickly started planning their exit and the training they would do until then, hope springing up in them that the war would soon be over.
