I'm going to try and spice this one up.

Chapter 21

Lightsaber Lost

CORUSCANT

Jedi Temple

Leo and Pong were walking through the halls of the Jedi temple, by the tall glass windows that overlooked the city. "So what did you learn from Master Windu's lesson?" Krell asked him.

"Not to challenge a stronger opponent over pride." Leo admitted, Krell cocked his head to the side "From what Master Pong told me it wasn't pride rather aggravation, one that I saw justified."

Leo looked at the besalisk master "Justified?"

"The reports from the Council were at first concerning but then I began to see a pattern?" Besalisk said, crossing his lower arms and holding his jaw with his fist.

"A pattern Master?" Leo asked him.

"They fear you." Krell said.

"Fear me?" Leo asked him shocked.

Krell knodded "Indeed or at least they did, you see the reports with their concerns were all including you in combat, that awoke what one report read as 'bloodlust'."

"Bloodlust but you said it was-" "Battle meditation, yes and I still do Leo." Pong said interrupting him "This force rage you experience, I see it as a side effect of your latent potential as you were unaware when you fought you were only able to focus on your pain which in turn activated the primal instincts within us all I believe through the proper training and dedication we will be able to hone your Battle Meditation like the Jedi of the High Republic."

Leo listened to him smiling "But the fear is still there." Pong said.

"Why would they be afraid of them, I'm loyal to the Jedi?" Leo asked "To them they see you as a potential threat, your arrogance to Windu only stiffened their inquiries."

"For instance, have you had any contact with the dark side?" Pong asked him.

"... Only when Ventress tortured me." Leo said "And even though you resisted the arrogance of the Council still doubt you, it disgusts me." Pong said getting up and walking over to the window looking out the window "You could be the pride of the order, one of our greatest and still they deny you the respect you deserve." Pong said hands behind his back.

"Thank you… Master, your faith means a great deal." Leo said as he was distracted by Anakin and Ahsoka approaching them "Greetings Master Krell, Padawan Rock." Anakin said.

"Ah Skywalker, Padawan Tano always a pleasure." Pong said greeting them "We were on our way to apprehend an arms dealer in the lower city, care to join?" Anakin asked the two of them.

Pong didn't answer at first "Perhaps some other time, however Padawan Rock you should go get outside the temple we will speak more when you return."

LOWER CITY

The three Jedi were walking through one of the many streets at night, Ahsoka gave an uneasy look when they passed an alien sitting on a crate coughing before making a turn into an alley with some small shops along it as Anakin informed them as the arms dealer they were after "Car Affa is an arms dealer selling Republic weapons on the Black Market." Anakin said to them.

"Who's he selling them too?" Ahsoka asked as they stopped. "The Separatists." he replied before they continued walking "Why would he sell weapons to the Confederacy, don't the trade federation, techno union and banking clan supply the droids?" Leo asked Anakin but Anakin kept talking.

"According to intelligence, he's inside this joint." he said as they stopped in front of a nightclub.

"You two stay here, in case he tries to escape." he said as Ahsoka folded her arms before he entered the place.

"Just like always." she said to Leo "Still wondering who he'd be selling to." he agreed before they noticed two Weequays leaning against the wall, staring at them while a Kowakian monkey-lizard sitting on one's shoulder made some noises. Ahsoka patted her lightsaber and the Weequays smirked at them when they suddenly heard a lightsaber and blaster fire the patrons started running out, with a few bumping into the padawans as they ran past. Ahsoka was knocked to the ground and Leo walked over to help her.

He held his hand down "You okay?" He asked pulling her up when she noticed her lightsaber was missing "My lightsaber!" she said in a bit of a panicked tone as he pulled her up. They looked towards the patrons and noticed a Patrolian holding it in his hand, he looked at them briefly while walking away. "Hey!" Ahsoka yelled to him before she and Leo ran towards the crowd.

They stopped and looked around when noticing he was gone. "My Master's gonna kill me." she said worriedly as she looked around a bit more.

"This isn't happening, after I got on him for losing his he'll kill me." she said in disbelief.

"I'm sure he'll help us look" Leo said before Ahsoka turned around and grabbed him "Oh no, I hid the fact you had a sith crystal you are not TELLING HIM." She snapped, grabbing him by the collar, running back to the nightclub just as Anakin was exiting it with Car in binders.

"Where were you two?" he asked them.

"We… We were checking out a suspect, I had a bad feeling about him." she lied. "And?" he asked her. "It was nothing but a false alarm." she replied, still lying. "Come on then." he said as they started walking.

Leo and Ahsoka followed him as Ahsoka drew her finger across her neck if he said anything.

By the time they got back to the temple it was sunrise, Leo could see Ahsoka's disappointment in herself as they walked through one of the temple hallways escorting Car. "Master?" she asked and they stopped to look at her before continuing, "Is it alright if I go to the library and do some research?" she asked. "Sure. I'll take care of our little 'friend' here, Leo you should return to Master Krell." he said before continuing on.

"So this research, need any help?" Leo asked her.

"No this is my mistake, I should fix it on my own." She said before Leo started to follow her "I said I don't need your help." Ahsoka said.

He snickered, "I'm not helping you, I need to do my own research." Leo said smiling as she saw he wasn't taken no for an answer.

Once they reached the library they approached Jocasta for help and she went on one of the computers to try finding the thief from their description. "I'm sure if you explain your loss to your master, he'll understand." she suggested to Ahsoka.

"No he tells me over and over you're lightsaber is your life, don't lose it." Ahsoka groaned as they sat down at a computer looking through the files of criminals.

"There has to be a better way to find this thief." Ahsoka said as she took a few steps away. "I'm sorry, pickpockets aren't my field of expertise." Jocasta apologized as Ahsoka stepped away. "At this rate it'll take me years to find him." She said in a dejected tone as Jocasta stood up from the chair.

"I might have another idea there." the librarian started as she pointed to a Cosian male sitting at another computer between two shelves, she continued to speak as they made their way over to him. "That is Tera Sinube, He's an elder Jedi he happens to be an expert on the Coruscant crime world." Jocasta said as they followed her up to Master Sinube.

"I think he's sleeping." Ahsoka pointed out as they heard him snoring before stopping behind him. "Yes well, he will be able to help you." Jocasta assured her, Ahsoka looked at Leo who shrugged letting her take the lead on this adventure.

"Uh… Pardon me, Master Sinube?" Ahsoka asked as she patted him on shoulder gently, trying to wake him up.

"What? Who?" he said, looking around before noticing Ahsoka and speaking, "I was just resting my eyes." He said turning his white headed beak to the two younglings.

When he saw them, the two padawans forced smiles as the librarian spoke "Hello Master Sinube." Jocasta greeted.

"Good morning Jocasta." he greeted before turning his attention back to Ahsoka. "I don't know you two, do I?" he asked, not sounding sure if he did or not.

"My name is Ahsoka Tano and this is Leo Rock." she introduced the two of them.

Leo gave a polite smile and Sinube looked at him closely "Are you sure I don't know you, you look familiar?" He said "I don't think so?" He asked.

"I was told you could help me?" she asked the elder Jedi, getting his attention "Help you?" he asked, sounding like he was unsure if she really did ask him for help.

Jocasta Finally started to leave "I'll leave you three to your business." Jocasta said before walking away. "A thief stole my lightsaber and we only got a quick look at him. I could tell he definitely came from one of the aquatic planets you know, one of the water worlds." Ahsoka explained to him. Master Sinube rubbed his chin a bit.

Sinube smiled as he thought something clever "So you're saying there was something fishy about him." he said before laughing and typing into the computer.

Master Sinube stopped after a few seconds before turning to the computer. "Well let's try and see if we can find where he went, shall we?" he suggested.

"We were near the Slum district G17." Ahsoka told him as she walked to the other side of the chair as Sinube brought up a map of the district. "Where would he go, your little pickpocket..." he wondered, looking at the map as Ahsoka paced back and forth behind the chair. "Gangster hideouts unlikely, but possible maybe the gun market sells lightsabers… just a moment, let me see. He was a Patrolian, that's a fish guy. Maybe…" Sinube trailed off a bit as the computer beeped and he brought up six photos, each with a different face on it. Ahsoka and Leo walked up beside him.

"Is it one of these fishes?" he asked them, pointing at the screen.

Ahsoka scanned the wanted posters "That's him!" the padawans said and pointed towards the yellowish-green one at the same time.

"Interesting indeed according to the file his name is Bannamu, a petty thief he hangs out in the Slum district." Sinube told them, Ahsoka looked at Leo with hope in her eyes about getting her lightsaber back.

"Thank you, Master Sinube." Ahsoka said, giving him a grateful smile. "I'm sure I-" he started to reply before she cut him off "Your help has been invaluable.",

Sinube got up "Well, you're welcome." he said, as she kept speaking. "If there's anything I can do." she said, taking a few steps back as he turned the chair to face them and grabbed his cane replying, "Yes there is I haven't been on assignment in years, and if you don't slow down you're not going to find what you're looking for. I'll come with you." Sinube got out of the chair and the three Jedi started making their way towards the exit.

"Okay, gramps… It would be nice to have extra company." Ahsoka agreed, hesitantly. "Splendid!" Sinube said joyfully.

SLUM DISTRICT

Once they were in the district they made their way to a noodle shop just as the Quarren owner gave a bowl to the only patron there; the three each took a seat on the remaining stools and the owner leaned on the counter in front of Ahsoka and the others. "Can I help you?" he asked her.

"We're looking to buy a lightsaber, any ideas where we could do that?" she asked in a hushed voice, Leo eyed the other man next to her "Come with me." he said, gesturing with his head. They got off the stools and walked over to the side of the shop as the owner exited through the side door and leaned against the same vehicle a male Twi'lek was also leaning against. "So, you wanna buy a lightsaber, how much are you willing to pay?" he asked. "If you have it, you'll give it me." she demanded, glaring at him and holding her hand out.

The Twi'lek stepped up to them and Leo started to reach for his lightsaber, keeping it out of sight from the dealers before Sinube stopped him. "What my little friend is saying, is how much?" Sinube asked, trying to prevent a potential fight.

"20,000." the Quarren replied.

"20,000?" Ahsoka asked in disbelief. "It's a rare weapon a Jedi weapon." he countered.

Sinube leaned in on his cane "You have the item with you?" Sinube asked. "No, but I can get it." he replied, leaning against the speeder again Ahsoka held a holopad up and activated it, bringing up a hologram of Bannamu. "From him?" she asked.

The Quarren abruptly stood back up straight. "Hey, who are these guys?" he said before walking to the front of the speeder. "They are Jedi!" the Twi'lek accused, pointing at them while looking at his friend.

"And if we are?" Sinube asked the Quarren to stop and turned around before speaking, "I don't wanna get mixed up with Jedi we were just doing our old friend Bannamu a favour."

"Well I think it's time you forget about him and do me a favour that's my lightsaber he stole." Ahsoka said with a glare. "Oh. Well… uh… That makes a difference, what do you want me to do?" he asked, sounding less than thrilled about his current predicament. "I want you to tell me where he is." she replied.

The Quarren fumbled with his tentacle like hands "I hope you remember this and someday do me a favour he's not that far away he's at the Spider Arms Hostel." the Twi'lek replied instead.

Just as the Twi'lek said, it wasn't far away nnly about thirty minutes later did the three Jedi reach it. After stepping through the door, they walked up to a male Rodian behind the counter. "May I help you?" he asked. "We know where we're going." Sinube said as he waved at him before they ran away from the counter.

"You know where you are going." Rodian said in a dazed tone.

Leo watched the rodian look at them before sinking back into the counter "Neat trick?" Leo said.

"Thank you my lad, I used it once to get past pirates during the Stark Hyperspace War." Leo's eyes grew wide "You were in the Stark Hyperspace war?" Leo asked him as they followed Ahsoka.

Sinube nodded "Indeed, in my youth."

They followed her up the stairs, "We must be careful not to warn him." Sinube said in a hushed voice as they walked through one of the hallways.

"But Master, we don't know where we're going." Ahsoka said before making a frustrated sound as they stopped. "He could be in any one of these rooms!" she said, with an agitated tone.

"You need to be more quiet, young one." the old Jedi warned "Okay. Okay." she said, her tone still agitated but speaking more quietly, Sinube shook his head. "Not quite with your mouth. Quiet with your mind you're so anxious to find this pickpocket, that your worry is equal to his." he said before continuing on.

"You mean if I relax, I can sense Bannamu's anxiety?" she asked in a softer tone as the two padawans started catching up to him. "Yes If you relax, you would realize he's in this room." Sinube said, as they stopped outside one of the doors.

Ahsoka walked up to the door and squeezed her hand into a fist "I got this." she said before kicking down the door the padawan then rushed into the room as Bannamu jumped in his computer seat upon seeing them.

"Well, well. Bannamu I assume?" Ahsoka asked, glaring at him.

"Who are you? What do you want?" he asked, hands up in defense, Instead of replying, she picked him up by his arms before slamming him onto his desk and holding him down. "My lightsaber, you slimy thief! I want it back, now!" she demanded in a low voice growling at him.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey. I no have it! I swear! I got rid of it. I almost kill myself with that thing." Bannamu said, pleading with her.

"What did you do with it?" she demanded again. "No, I don't recall." he replied. "You little…!" she threatened, holding her fist up.

"Ahsoka!" Sinube chastised in a snap, she relented and let go of Bannamu before taking a step back, allowing him to stand.

"It's not smart to steal from a Jedi." she warned with a glare.

Bannamu didn't seem to take her serious "You're looking a little too young to be a Jedi." he said, narrowing his eyes in disbelief, Ahsoka picked him up with the Force and slammed him against the opposite wall before walking up to finally relented, "Okay, okay, okay. His name is Movers. Yes, uh… Nack Movers."

Ahsoka released her Force-grip on him and he fell to the floor before turning her head to Sinube. "Nack Movers?" she asked him.

"He's a very dangerous one, well known in the underworld." the thief answered laughing a bit seeing they were worried. "Yes, exactly! I sell it to him you should be afraid I got a good price he was very, very motivated you can find him with his girlfriend. She has a place on the upper east side of our Happyland. I bet he's there now. Oh, he's always there-" Ahsoka cut him off with an irritated ton, "You can stop talking now.", "Okay, I shut up." he complied, lowering his head.

The three jedi started to leave "Well, at least you know where your lightsaber is." Sinube said.

"Yeah, it's in the hands of a killer this is exactly what I was afraid of." she said in a dejected tone.

Leo walked up to her "Don't you think your being a bit dramatic?" he asked her "Says you?"

"Yeah your not the one who's wielding the lightsaber, don't worry we'll get it back?" Leo said patting her on the shoulder as they headed to the east side.

Upon reaching the upper east side they headed up near the top of one of the highrise towers and made their way through the hallways. "Guys, we've got to hurry!" Ahsoka said with urgency in her voice as she stopped.

"Patience, Ahsoka." Sinube said calmly as they continued walking, Sinube quickly started speaking again in case she ran off again "You worry that if people die at the hands of your lightsaber that you will be as guilty for their death as the one who strikes the blow, A valid concern, young one and one for you to puzzle out." Ahsoka looked at the ground in thought as they stopped outside a door.

Suddenly they heard a commotion on the other side "What? What, is it?" Ahsoka asked the old Jedi Master. "I believe we've reached our destination." he said before the two padawans grabbed the side of the door and pulled it open.

"Oh, no." she said with a small gasp upon noticing a male Trandoshan on the floor inside the dark room Ahsoka ran up to him and lowered to one knee.

"Let me guess, Nack Movers?" she said in a low and angry tone before checking his body as the other two Jedi walked up behind her. "A reasonable assumption." Sinube said. "He's dead." she said in the same tone before a lamp near the balcony suddenly fell. The three Jedi immediately turned their attention towards that area, Leo drew his lightsaber ready for anything when A female alien with pinkish skin stuck her head out. "Are they- are they gone?" she asked shaking with fear.

Sinube took a few steps towards her "Who's gone?" he asked as Leo lowered his lightsaber.

"The men who killed Nack. Oh, no!" she said before starting to cry into her hands.

"Who are you?" Ahsoka asked her, the woman sat on the steps in front of them before replying, "Ione Marcy, I came home and found him here like this." Ione placed her face in her hands again before Ahsoka asked.

Ione avoided looking them in the eye "Ione did you call for help, why were you hiding?" Ione removed her hands and looked at them.

"I was afraid." she admitted in a fearful tone.

Sinube waved for the padawans to come closer. "She seems terrified." he said in a hushed tone but loud enough for only them to hear, they looked at Ione crying in her hands again. "I sense something else is troubling her." he said after a moment. "I'll search the other rooms." Ahsoka told him. "Right behind you snips." Leo said following her into the room.

'The two padawans silently crept into the room before hiding behind a corner. They jumped out from behind only to find nothing but a bed and a few other things in the room along with some light coming from the window. Leo crouched down and looked under the bed before standing back up and wiping his pants clean. "Beds clear." he said just as she opened a wardrobe cabinet, only to find nothing, suddenly Leo started to feel a warning in the force.

"Look out!" he yelled, unfortunately neither had time to react and out of the shadows came a Terrelian Jango Jumper woman punched her in the face, knocking her to the ground. Ahsoka glared up at the woman while holding the side of her face. Leo immediately reached for his saber and looked at his belt "Time to die!" the woman declared to them before grabbing something from her belt and turned it on striking at Ahsoka, Leo jumped between them blocking the green blade from taking Ahsoka.

Ahsoka saw she was holding the green blade "My lightsaber!" Ahsoka exclaimed in realization, "You think?" Leo asked her, when the attacker saw the white blade.

"You're Jedi?!" the jango jumper gasped and before they could reply she rushed to the window and smashed the glass with her boot before jumping out.

"Come on." Ahsoka told him as they ran to the window and looked down to see the woman sliding down the side of the tower, in an effort to escape. Ahsoka jumped out first and started sliding down the side in the same manner with Leo right behind him. The jango jumper suddenly jumped off the side with the padawans following her. Both padawans jumped as they reached the edge and noticed the woman nearing the edge of the one below. The thief jumped again and flew across to the other tower, managing to land on one of the ledges against the side of it. As the two padawans jumped across she started to run along the ledge as they landed where she had a moment ago before taking off after her.

Ahsoka brought her com-link up as they ran. "Master Sinube, you're right we found the intruder and she has my lightsaber- she's a Terrelian Jango Jumper and hard to keep up with!" she yelled over the wind.

"So the assailant is a female?" he asked back in the room with Ione as the woman jumped off the edge and landed on a rooftop below. The padawans chased after her and rolled once they landed before standing back up quickly and continuing to sprint after her. The Jedi jumped and weaved around objects on the roof, soon managing to catch up to her and soon as they turned she started wall-jumping between two parts of the roof.

Ahsoka jumped first before having to grab onto a lower ledge, with Leo jumping onto the ledge and was about to help her up when they noticed the woman holding Ahsoka's activated saber and something big falling off the upper ledge she had jumped onto, Leo ran up to her quickly helped Ahsoka up and they jumped to an opposite ledge just as it passed them before hitting the ground. The woman had a look of disbelief upon seeing them safe before taking off again, while padawans jumped up and once again gave chase.

The two padawans almost had her cornered as the three were now side-stepping on a ledge with their backs against the wall. Leo looked down as he kept side-stepping.

The jango jumper soon turned around a corner and once the padawans turned they noticed her standing far below them on one of the hovering billboards above the flying traffic. The two ran to the end of a magnetic cranes short bridge and looked down at her, LEo already knew what they were gonna do.

"You can't be serious?" he sighed in defeat, Ahsoka nodded with a smile jumped off before somersaulting during their descent through the skies of Coruscant.

Leo rolled his eyes "Bloody hell you'll be the death of me Ahsoka." he said before following her and landing behind her and crouched to one knee upon landing before continuing to chase the woman.

Once they reached the second one the woman turned on Ahsoka's lightsaber and slashed the top of it causing the billboard to start falling slowly before she jumped to the third one and slashed it as well, luckily the padawans managed to jump onto the second one and rush to the other side quickly. Unfortunately the fourth one started to descend in the opposite direction, causing the side they were facing to go higher. Ahsoka managed to jump high enough to grab the ledge before pulling herself up. His blood ran cold upon hearing a scream she recognized, she looked down to see Leo holding onto the edge for dear life with one hand.

She looked at the theif who had to have been at least 20ft away and noticed her start climbing up a building side using a pipe getting away.

"Ahsoka, go! I'll be fine!" Leo yelled at her before she made her choice, she ran over to the side of the ledge and reached down for him and pulled him up.

"T-thanks." Leo said his heart raced before the two of them resumed the chase, jumping over the gaps between the buildings onto the same pipe the thief was on. The woman suddenly stopped and brought her arm up for a moment before continuing. Ahsoka looked at Leo and nodded towards the pipe, Leo smiled recognizing her intent getting at and they both started using the Force to pull the pipe apart above the woman.

The pipe fell towards the left of them with her still hanging on as it now leaned into traffic. The two Jedi started walking on it as the woman pulled herself up and started to jump on the pipe, causing it to bounce quite a bit, both Leo and Ahsoka started to lose their balance till out of the sky traffic Ione appeared on a speeder.

"What?" Leo gasped before the jango jumper leapt from the pipe onto the speeder, "Leo we have to let go." Ahsoka said as the pipe shook "Alright." Leo said before the two of them let go and dropped down onto another building ledge.

Leo and Ahsoka looked out at the city "She's gone." Ahsoka moaned.

"We'll find her Ahsoka." Leo said, touching her on the shoulder, "She killed that man, with my lightsaber." Ahsoka said in shame "But you weren't the one who was holding it." he said, trying to ease her pain.

Ahsoka shook her head "But I-" "But nothing Ahsoka." Leo said, grabbing her "You are not responsible for this, you're a good person- no you're the best person I know next to General Skywalker." Ahsoka fought her smile before she gave in to his cheering. She leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Guess we're going to have to learn patience after all." Ahsoka said watching the sun rise between the buildings.

Eventually master Sinube arrived with a speeder bike in tow "I see you've learned patience, young one." he complimented with a smile on his beak.

"Where'd you get those speeders?" she asked with a questioning glance and a smirk before they got on.

"I asked one of the police droids to lend me some transportation they were kind enough to oblige." the old master replied as she sat on the speeder and Leo got behind her to hold on to her hips.

Soon they started to take off "Master Sinube what happened with Ione, we saw her save the theif?" Leo asked her.

"She attacked me before escaping. Turns out they killed Nack." Sinube said as he took a left and the padawans followed.

Ahsoka gritted her teeth hearing the victims name again "We have to hurry before they kill anyone else." Ahsoka said staring to speed up.

"Patience! We'll cut them off at the train station!" the old Jedi yelled over the traffic.

"How do you know they're headed there?" She asked him, while he grabbed something from his pocket and held it up for them to see as they got closer to the train station.

"Did I mention I planted a tracking device on Ione, the girl that ran away?" he said, winking at them.

"No." she replied as they descended towards the station before parking their bikes just a bit inside the place. The two padawans hopped off theirs and started looking around while waiting for Sinube. Once he stepped off his speeder the three of them started making their way through the station the old Jedi held the tracker as it beeped while they walked before it suddenly stopped.

They stopped walking when it happened and shared a look before the two padawans jogged forward a bit. "There!" Leo pointed before they both started running.

"Stop them!" Ahsoka yelled over the noise, a couple of police droids managed to seize Ione but the woman they chased earlier activated Ahsoka's blade and cut down two droids before making a run for it. The two kids rushed past a restrained Ione and after her partner. She pushed a male Bith out of the way while attempting to get on the train only for the door to close when she reached it before turning around to face the padawans as they reached her. Instead of replying she deactivated the saber and jumped on top the now moving train.

Leo and Ahsoka jumped up onto it as well and started chasing after her as the train started picking up speed. The woman jumped onto one of the lower areas of the train and the Jedi followed immediately. She then flipped upside-down over the side and smashed the window open with the lightsaber before jumping in. The padawans quickly flipped through the window and started chasing her again and immediately stopped a few feet away from her when she took a female Twi'lek and her child hostage, lightsaber ready to kill. "You're trapped surrender now and turn the lightsaber over to me." Ahsoka ordered with a glare.

"Don't tell me what to do! I've got a lightsaber and I'm as powerful as Jedi!" the snarled Ahsoka attempted to take another step which in turn caused the woman to bring the blade closer. Ahsoka had a thoughtful look on her face before looking back at the woman. "I'll trade myself for them you know how much I'm worth to the Jedi, it's a good deal all you have to do is let them go." Ahsoka said.

"Right... I let them go and your friend rips me half." the woman said sarcastically, when suddenly the train stopped and the door opened to reveal Master Sinube. Ahsoka used the force to pull the killers arm off the hostages and Leo used the force to grab the hostages away.

Sinube held iup his cane and twisted it to reveal the hilt was actually a ligthsaber, turning it on a light blue blade popped out to face the killer.

She attacked Sinube who easily blocked the woman's slash before saber-locking with her and twisting the blade out of her grasp. Ahsoka caught the activated blade and took a stance only for the old Jedi to knock her out cold with the walking end of his cane. "For a guy that moves slow, you always seem to get ahead of me." she said to him as he sheathed his saber in his cane.

"The value of moving slowly is that one can always clearly see the way ahead." he said wisely before three police droids ran onto the train, one aimed a blaster at her while the other two looked her over. Ahsoka smiled as she looked at her saber before sheathing it and looking outside at the mother and child hugging.

JEDI TEMPLE

After a short shuttle ride, the three Jedi walked through one of the halls in the temple after covering Ahsoka's ligthsaber. "Well I'd best be getting back to my master before he misses me." Ahsoka said to Sinube.

"Certainly, but first I need one last favour from you." Sinube asked.

"Sure. Name it." she said with a small smile

Sinube stopped just outside one of the youngling training rooms "Pass on what you have learned." he said. Ahsoka smiled at him as they walked through a door with four younglings wearing training helmets and Master Yoda teaching them.

Sinube looked down at Leo "Hello old friend." Sinube greeted him as the younglings removed their helmets and and the five deactivated their sabers.

"Greetings, Master Sinube." Yoda greeted back with a smile before turning to Ahsoka.

"Padawan Tano, a lesson you have for us today, hmm?" he asked her.

"Yes." she said with a small smile before holding her saber up. "A lesson in patience." Sinube added. "Gather around, younglings listen to the padawan, you shall." Yoda instructed them. "This weapon is your life, but it is also your responsibility don't let it out of your sight." she said, kneeling in front of them, Leo smiled seeing things were alright before he turned around starting to leave. Sinube watched him go before slightly following him.

When Sinube was out of the room to follow him "Padawan Rock, a moment?"

Leo turned around "Yes Master, do I owe you a favor too?" Leo asked with a smile.

"No, I just wanted to commend you on assisting your friend." Sinube said as the two of them started to walk.

"She's always been there for me and I'll be there for her." Leo said confidently "Well I'm sure she's grateful, thank you for your time I assume Master Krell will be waiting for you somewhere." Sinube said before letting him go. Sinube watched the boy walk off till he wasn't alone anymore Plo Koon approached him from behind "Greetings Master Sinube." Plo said.

Sinube turned around "Greetings my old friend, I assume you are here because of my interactions with the boy."

"Indeed, and?" Plo asked him.

"I sense no darkness within him, so long as we of the light remain here to show him the way." Sinube said, smiling.

"And… his heritage?" Plo asked Sinube "He knows nothing."

Plo Koon watched Leo walk away "For now."

Sorry, if this wasn't much to go on, its Ahsoka's episode after all, by the way give me the final episodes of season two or we jump to the ending of this book.
