Hi guys here is chapter 9 of Secrets Of The Avatar, as always review and enjoy.
Chapter 9: Future Selves
Shili scowled at Korraban who in turn scowled back, there seemed to be a history between these two, and I would love to figure out what that is.
"Korraban" Shili snarled and again Korraban snarled right back at her.
"You always were a stubborn one, Shili, always in the wrong place at the wrong time"
"I'm here to help The Avatar!" Shili snapped, then she looked at the time energy "sought of"
At that Korraban laughed "really, you failed last time, and what does this accomplish? Showing him his grave, I would've thought better of you."
"I failed last time" Shili growled "because I let my overconfidence get the better of me" she took out the Lightsaber that she claimed to be a replica, and ignited it. A green sword came from the cylinder shape.
Korraban ignited his Lightsaber and a red glow came from his sword. They started to duel but I could see that this fight was not Shili's to win. Korraban was skilled with the sabre and knocked her down almost instantly.
"You think you're better than me?" Korraban scowled "you're just a failed initiate" he then took a killing stroke, then without realising it, I instinctively took out my own Lightsaber and saved Shili.
"You would save her life?"' Korraban growled, he looked angry and annoyed "I have spent an eternity searching for you, and when I ran into your Brother on Moraband that was just a stroke of luck, no matter" then all of a sudden a red portal began to glow and Korraban pushed me towards it.
"Master!" Ahsoka yelled and grabbed my hand as I nearly fell into the portal. Korraban laughed at this.
"You two were clearly meant for each other" he looked at Sky "pity, she didn't join you when she had the chance"
"My brother would give anything to save her" Sky snapped, Okay who was this and what has he done with my brother? He was like a whole new person.
I struggled to keep hold of Ahsoka's hand and screamed.
"Just hold on master" Ahsoka said trying to reassure me.
"Hold on?" I laughed "is that the best you have, Snips? Cause that's all I can do at the moment"
"I'm going to try and pull you up" Ahsoka explained? She then looked to Sky "help me!" for the moment Sky hesitated then helped Ahsoka pull me up.
"Korraban" I coughed "where does this portal lead?" he began to laugh like it was obvious.
"A place, where all the answers can be found" he turned to Ahsoka "you should have let him fall"
"And then what?" Ahsoka snapped "I lost him once" she looked at me and I smiled at her, then she turned to Korraban "I won't loose him again!"
"How touching" Korraban laughed "you really don't know? Do you?" At that we all looked at home confused even Shili was caught off guard "you really don't" he laughed "you really think, you're meeting was chance? No, everything since then, everything has been leading up to this moment" he then turned to me "the revelation of the Avatar's darkest secret"
"No" I said "that must never be revealed"
"My master has a lot of secrets" Ahsoka snapped "why should this one be any different?" Korraban began to smile and said
"This one has been kept secret from even himself, ever since the day on Mortis!" At that Anakin, Ahsoka and I gasped, Mortis was a touchy subject for the three of us. We don't like to talk about it.
A hologram came up, a person who looked rather like me, except from a distant future.
"Who's that?" Sky asked me, he looked at me curios and I could tell the others that they wanted to know too.
"Me" I replied and they all looked at me confused "Did I say he was the Avatar?" Korraban laughed and then Future me spoke to Shili
"What I did back then, you should know I had no choice"
"There's always a choice" Shili said and she seamed to recognise this future version of me "you should know that by now"
"I did what I had to do, Shili, in the name of peace and sanity"
Shili and I walked up to the hologram and I said
"I know" Shili began to look at me and I took her hand, finally realising who she actually was, I turned back to the hologram "but you didn't do it in the name of The Avatar"
The hologram disappeared and Shili took her hood off, revealing her to be a future version of Ahsoka a much older version.
Ahsoka gasped and Korraban laughed
"Do you understand now?"
"Yes" I said staring into Future Ahsoka's face "I do" and then I turned to Korraban and looked at the portal.
