Chapter 11

The Gathering went good if everything had gone that way. After the attack made by Hondo and his gang haven't ruined it. Especially after the younglings were the ones who rescued Ahsoka only to be recaptured. The Separatists with general Grievous as their lead destroy Hondo's operation.

After saving him and many of their men, they were leading us to the secret ships we were going to make our escape. They were separated, Katooni with Hondo and Ahsoka with the rest of the younglings. As Grievous was approaching Ahsoka was slowing him down in a fierce fight. In a deadlock, there was a surprise for both of them.

Katooni had jumped off the Slave 1 and with great speed, she stabbed Grievous with her lightsaber in the back and in the crest. The general simply fell to the floor. Ahsoka took Grievous's body with the force and a shocked Katooni.

On the way back Ahsoka was making sure she was alright. Later Obi-Wan and her reported the general's death, and Ahsoka's decision of a padawan. At the same time, she asks for a couple of weeks off to start Katooni's training.

The force told her that she needed to train Katooni the same way she had, but not to the extent she was. She took her to Lothal in another temple that was only known to the balancers. There she told her everything she needed to know, the history, the future, the plans, and the endgame. She accepted the responsibility of her new path. In a couple of years inside of the temple, she could easily defeat a knight twice her age and deflect and dodge a rain of blaster fire. She also learned other abilities like illusions and she now has 2 lightsabers like her master. In the outside world, only a couple of weeks had passed.

Immediately after both of them went back to the Follower to continue the war effort. The only news was that the temple bombing and Barriss involvement. Ahsoka was sad for her friend in falling down so far. Especially when she confesses trying to incriminate Ahsoka, but the training her new padawan changed the plan so much in so little time that she was easily caught. After the confession and speech, she tried to escape only to be gunned down by a senate guard. Her funeral was more a formality than something made out of respect for a girl that lost her way.

For me, Barriss lost her way and her death was a bigger message than only her arrest. Katooni and the other group of younglings were for me great potential for more stories, and for mine I choose her. Also, there is so little information about them, so they are a wildcard for any good story.
