Let's see what happens next.

Punishment?

I slipped in and out of sleep for a while before I could find the strength to awake. I found myself in what I believe to be a room but it was so dark that I was unable to make out any details. I tried to stand up but felt a strong resistance and was force to keep down. I tried to move my arms and legs and found that they too were also bound up by something. I could feel something metal around my neck but I was unable to figure out what it was.

I tried to get my thoughts in order but found that the more I concentrated, the more they seemed to want to disperse. I tried to relax my mind but it would end up turning into a sea of memories and emotions. I had no idea how long I have been out but I could feel my stomach growling and that was adding to the confusion of my body.

I thought about summoning my Keyblade but I quickly dismissed that when I remember how the doors around here seemed unresponsive towards the Keyblade. I didn't also want to try breaking whatever was holding me to the wall for risk that some sort of counter-measure to activate. So I just sat there…alone…in the dark…in some foreign world.

"This was not my lucky day…" I mused.

"Yes, you do seem to have a knack for getting into interesting situations." A voice replied.

I looked up to find a man sitting cross legged in front of me. His facial features and expressions struck a familiar cord in my mind but I was unable to put my tongue on it. It was actually a bit hard to judge what his facial features were.

I assumed that it was the fact that he was glowing in a soft blue light.

I was still feeling a little groggy so it took me a while before I could reply "Who are you?" the man gave a small smile and said "Don't you remember me? It's me…Reven."

The moment that name was uttered from his mouth, a wave of memories started to flow through my mind. Strangely enough, they mostly dealt with the dream I had about the Sith Holocron and meeting Reven in his heart. But that was just a dream…right?

"I…I thought you were a dream or something…" I stammered as I stared into the ghostly eyes of his. I expected to see a surge of annoyance or anger but the only emotion I could gather was an overwhelming sense of peacefulness.

He smiled and replied "I am sure that is what you thought but believe me that the event that happen when you touched my Holocron was no dream." He then rose up his right hand and pointed at me before replying "You carry all my strength inside of you…as well as all the darkness I had back when I was known as Darth Reven."

I nodded my head as I remember reading about that part of Jedi history at the library. The reports were a bit sketchy but I managed to get a general idea about what happened.

It was then that Reven said "Now that you have my powers…it is time to decide what to do with them."

"What do you mean?" I asked cursorily.

He smiled again and replied "Well…the only thing keeping you here is the neural disruptor fashion around your neck. While it is keeping your mind unfocused, it doesn't restrict your connection to the Force…"

My eyes widen when I started to realize where Reven was going with this. Before he could continue, I quickly shook my head and replied "I don't want to give the Jedi any more reason to dislike me." Reven then said "So you are just going to let them kill you?"

Now, I was the one who was smiling and I replied "You and I both know that Jedi do not kill their prisoners." He smiled as well and said "So you have been studying…there may be hope for you yet."

It was then that he faded away leaving me alone with my thoughts.

It was not long afterwards that I heard a door opening. I looked up and found to my surprise that it was none other than Yoda himself. He looked at me with the same look that I almost always see him have when looking at me…confusion and hope.

He made his way so that he was a good speaking distance away from me. Even with my mind in shambles, I was still able to sense at least four other Jedi Masters watching us, their bodies tense for any sort of aggressive reaction on my part.

I ignored them for the time and looked back at Yoda. Once again, I was reminded that he acted almost like King Mickey in terms of size, fighting style, wisdom, and position in life. My heart felt like trusting him but given the circumstances I was in I reframed.

Yoda gave a small, tired smile and said "How do you feel?" I replied "I am feeling a little hungry but other than that never better."

Yoda gave a small grunt and I quickly asked "The student and the teacher…are they…" I let the question hang in the air as I waited for his response. He looked off in the distance and said "Alive, those two are."

I let out a breath of relief and felt myself hearten by this. I knew I was not going to be punished for murder but rather attacking a fellow student and a teacher.

Yoda once again looked at me and said "A decision, the Council has made, about you." I looked at Yoda and I could feel myself tensing up a bit. I knew my punishment was coming.

"Follow normal training, you will not do." He said and I felt my sorrow coming along. I was going to have to leave the Jedi Temple without compl…

"A mission, you will do." Yoda finished and for the first time in the conversation, I was completely dumbstruck. The last thing I expected was to be given a mission…especially since I had not even become a Padawan and the event that had gotten me in this jam in the first place.

I had to reply "A…mission Master Yoda?" He nodded his head and said "Go with two other Jedi, you will. Learn from them, you shall." He took a deep breath and said "Padawan…you will become."

My eyes widen in shock as the gravity of the situation. It did not take a genius for me to figure out that if I complete this mission, I would become a Padawan. I would finally be able to have one-on-one training with a Master and be able to explore this galaxy. No more would I be stuck in this temple where I was treated with suspicion and ridicule.

I felt a weight leaving my neck and saw a color-shaped piece of metal hitting the floor. The moment it left, I felt my mind regain its usual focus and concentration. I was on the verge of jumping up and down like crazy with all the pent of energy I had stored but managed to keep my composure long enough to asked "So what is the mission and who are the two Jedi?"

Yoda replied "Negotiations, the mission is. Master Qui-gon Jin and Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, you will join."

First, I am really sorry for being super late with this chapter. Second, I wanted to have more temple chapters but I was running out of things to do so I decided to jump right into the movies. Besides, I think I worked better on a story that already has a concrete chain of events.

Anyhow, Read and Review Please

P.S: This is my first chapter that I upload of my new age of nineteen FYI.
