Anne was wandering the temple looking for Marcy. It was like 2 hours ago when she left, when she was bullied by Dashia and Maggie. Sasha told her that Marcy was probably in the same place where she always was. Anne would enter the Jedi Archives and go to the second floor towards the balcony. There Macy sat in her usual spot, reading some datapads. Marcy loved going to the Jedi Archive and reading up on almost everything. She especially loved to go to the balcony which was connected to the Jedi Archives on the second floor. Anne would slowly approach Marcy.
''Hey? How your..holding up?'' Anne said, trying to find her words .
''Oh hey Anne….''' Marcy went back into reading the datapads.
''Are you alright? We were worried about you, when you left the training chambers.''
''What if they are right Anne. What if I am a failure, a good for nothing jedi sent to the service corps.''
''Don't listen to those bullies dude, they know nothing you make great jedi, you get straight A for almost every subject, besides you almost got her, she only won by playing dirty Otherwise you would kick her ass dude.''
Marcy would chuckle and look at Anne and smile.
''Thanks Anne but just…..'' She stopped for a second.'' I still don't know if a master would choose me, what if I don't perform well or there is no master left and I get sent to the service corps and worst of all lose you and Sasha.''
Anne was taken aback from those last words, she really was scared of losing her friends. She sat down close to Marcy.
''Hey we will always stay together alright? Nothing will change that!''
Marcy would look at her tears in her eyes.
''Thanks Anne.'' She would hug her.
Anne chuckles a bit.
''Anytime''
They were interrupted as a few masters walked outside. They stopped hugging and were both a bit red on the cheeks. Anne got a message from Sasha on her datapad, asking if she found Marcy yet and if they wanted to meet her at the edge of the temple.
''Sasha wants to meet up at the edge of the temple. I don't know why but….'' Anne was cut off by Marcy.
''Well let's go then, ohh maybe we can go to my room and watch War of the Esh-kha.'' Before Anne could say anything in return Marcy took her arm and led her to Sasha.….
Sasha was standing on the edge of one of the main balconies looking over the Senate District. It was night now, but it wasn't dark, with all the lights coming from the city that never sleeps. Sasha was just done with her personal training session. Master Rahm Kota leaves the room just as Anne and Marcy come in.
''Wait, was that Master Kota?!'' Marcy ask Sasha.
Sasha just smiled and shrugged.
''Perhaps why not a big deaaallll woow'.' Marcy jumped right in front of her.
''Omg omg the fasmious Master Kota, the general who didn't take any clones and formed his own militia to fight the CIS! He is your personally teacher!''
''Uhm well teacher he just taught me some tricks Mar Mar.''
''So what's up Sash you called us to come here?'' Anne asked.
''Well girlfriends I thought we might have some fun tonight, I have heard of new place that opened in the Federal District and it sounds perfect.''
Anne looked down, not sure what to say.
''Well I don't know Sash, sneaking out the temple is just, and we do it a lot now and next week is our trial.'' Before Anne could continue Sasha shushes her.
''Come on Boonchuy, it's going to be funnn, don't you wanna have fun with us?''
Anne looked at Sasha, it were those eyes, the eyes that demanded her ordered her to come. Marcy joined in.
''Come on, we will be back before sunrise. We can perhaps go back early and watch War Of the… '' Sasha cut her off.
''Ya ya Mar Mar, we shall see.'' She jumped over the fence.'''You coming Anne?''
Anne looked down the balcony. It was a tightrope, they used it a few times to sneak out the temple, though they were doing it a bit too much. Anne stared at Sasha then at Marcy then back at Sasha.
''Kriff ya I am coming.'' Anne said, trying to sound excited.
Sasha smirked, as Anne joined Marcy on Sasha on the other side of the fence. Looking if the coast is clear they began their descent…..

Anne and Sprig were outside, at the farm. Sprig was sitting cross-legged, his eyes closed. Anne told him that she wanted to test something and awaken something inside of him. He got a feeling that she was talking about the power he showed off back at the lake pushing that snake away with his mind. Sprig didn't give it much thought, it all felt like a dream. It was only when Anne asked about it that Sprig thought back to it.
''So Anne what are we doing here?''
''We are trying to connect you to the force.'' She said.
''Oh okay cool, what is the force?'' Sprig asked.
''Dude I explained it to you so many times.'' Anne said bit shocked that he forgot.
''Ohhh space magic you do!''
''No the force it's not just magic.''
''Sure it is, you can move stuff with your mind, read people's minds. "'
''Well yes, but..'' Anne paused for a second.''The masters back home explained it like this, its a energy field that surround us, bind us.''
''Ohhhhh, ya still no clue what you mean.'' Sprig said.
Anne nervously chuckled.
''Well uhm you see uhmm, well it's best if you try to feel it.''
''Oh okay. Soo how do I feel this 'force'.'' Sprig asked.
''Okay do what I do.'' Anne kneeled next to Sprig. ''Concentrate and reach out.''
''Uhm okay?'' Sprig said, unsure, he did what Anne asked, reaching out with his hand.
"I feel…absolutely nothing….'''Sprig said.
''Well dude you're doing it wrong its not literally it's more like…ummm well, honestly i don't know….'' Anne looked down. ''I … well it just feels natural to me, the masters back at Coruscant could explain it better.''
''So what do you feel then?'' Sprig asked.
''Well I just feel the force around, well everything. Form you to those plants and the bugs under the farm hiding.'' Pointing at the hole where a fly was hiding.
Sprig stood up walking towards the hole and jumped in. A few seconds later a large bug flies out. Anne stood up as she grabbed a stick next to her to bat away the big before it could attack.
''Wow nice swing!'' Sprig said.
''Thanks practice my saber skill a lot in the dojo.''
''Sorry that I couldn't feel that force thingy.'' Sprig said apologetically.
''Hey don't sweat it dude we will figure it out.'' Before Anne could continue, they heard Wally next to them speaking.
''A frog child and a monster from the woods getting along? So unnatural.''
''Ssh! Of course we get along. We're Sprig and Anne.'' Anne said confidently
''Anne and Sprig.'' Sprig returned.
Both of them did a pose and said.
''Spranne against the world!''
''Disgusting.'' Wally said before walking away playing on his concertina.
Before Anne could say anything back they heard Hop Pop scream from the basement.
''Was that Hop Pop?'' Anne asked, confused.
''Sounds like he's in trouble. We're coming, Hop Pop!''
They both rush towards the basement/Anne room only to see it has flooded.
''Whoa! What happened in here?'' Anne asked.
''Hop Pop? Sprig yelled. Just at that moment Hop Pop heads pops out of the water screaming.
''Stay back! Darned burrow bugs must have chewed the water pipes!''
''My room, my stuff!'' Anne honestly didn't care about all her stuff, but her datapad, holocommunicator….the holo image of her friends, the box .
Hop Pop puts Anne's bag on the stairs in front of her.
''Don't worry, Anne. I saved your stuff. Except your bed. And your blankets. And your pillow, clothes, hairbrush.''
''Just how long till it's fixed?''
''Well, gotta find the leak, then patch it up good.''
Sprig offers himself to help Hop Pop, with Hop Pop decline, saying it's too dangerous. Anne was thinking about how to help, she couldn't feel a plug with the force, could she? Wait back on her ship, she had not only a spare fusion cutter but also some scanner goggles! those could help!
''Wait Hop Pop, back in the ship I came here, it had something that might could help plug it.''
Hop Pop shrugged.
''Be my guest, where is that 'ship'?''
''Oh somewhere deep in the swamp but I ca….'' Hop Pop interrupted Anne.
''Oh no you don't. This time of year it's especially dangerous in the swamp. Even the ground is unstable.''
Anne chuckles.
''Nothing that me and Sprig can't handle.'' Anne and Sprig did there pose again.''Spranne against the world!''
''Sprann what now?'' Hop Pop asked, confused.
''Don't worry Hop Pop we be back in no time!'' Sprig said, trying to confuse him.
''Ugh fine! You two better be back at sundown.''
''Thanks Hop Pop we will.'' Both Sprig and Anne run out of the room towards the swamp to find the ship.
''Oh I have a bad feeling about this.'' Hop Pop said, diving back into the water to find the plug.

Amphibia, Swamp
18 BBY
Anne and Sprig were walking hours through the swamp trying to find the crashed Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor.
''Uhm sure it here somewhere I recognised that tree!'' Anne said confidently.
Sprig walking just past the tree.
''Nope that's the same tree we passed for the 4th time.''
''Ugh we are never going to find it, this forest is wayyy too deep. Unless I get lifted up in the skyyyy'' Before Anne could finish her sentence she was picked up by a giant flying bug.
''Anne!'' Sprig yelled.
Anne screamed in the distance trying to get out of the beast's grip. She was almost successful but she was dropped off at the beast nest. There she saw her ship!
The bug shrieked at her before flying away. Anne laughed, this is too easy she thought. She tried to walk towards the ship only to find herself stuck, and sinking, oh no, she was sinking in the swamp and the ship was as well. Anne knew that struggling only made it worse but she saw nothing that could help her, there was nothing nearby, well perhaps she could use the force to get the ship nearby, but that was way too big for her, she knew she couldn't do it. Well master Yoda always said size mattered not but, no she had to try.
''I am one with the force and the force is with me I am one with the force and the force is with me.'' She said, her eyes glowing blue.
…
Sprig was searching everywhere for Anne, yelling out her name in the hope she would respond. He would use his tongue to get on a tree looking over the forest.
''Nope nothing, but it's cool look though.'' Sprig jumps off the tree walking around in circles trying to think, how in frogs name is he going to find Anne. Then he remembers Anne training. If it's an energy field that surrounds us and binds us then he is bound to Anne in some way right? He thought. He remembered the day they first met and how he could sense her somehow. He would sit down eyes closed
''Ugh this isnt working.'' Sprig yelled. Anne said to reach out but how. A few small butterflies would land on him. He would look at them and smile. ''Bet you guys don't have it so difficult.'' He always had some weird affantie with some animals, like he could feel what they were thinking, when he cleared his mind…..Wait second, is that what Anne meant by reaching out? He would try. Kneeling he would concentrate on Anne and the presence he felt the first time they met. He would clear his mind of all other thoughts. Sprig would see Anne.
''Help! Sprig!'' Sprig falls backwards and opens his eyes again. He knew where Anne was now.
….
Anne was still trying to lift her ship out of the swamp, a blue energy field surrounded her and the ship actually lifted up a bit, but Anne didn't see it, she was sweating, breathing heavily, she lost her faith, as the ship sank back into the swamp going under.
''No! No no, I can't it's to big.'' Anne regained a bit of her energy. She was still sinking down, and she just realized half her body was gone.
''Help! Sprig!' Just then Sprig hopped out the tree near her.
''Anne! I got you.'' He would reach out his tongue for Anne to grab.
''Ewh ewh.'' She said she grabbed Sprig tongue as she was pulled out. ''Thanks bud, you just saved my ass.''
''No problem, I only knew where you where cause I saw you in my mind'.''
''Wait what? What do you mean?'' Anne asked, confused.
Sprig explained all what happened. About how he felt the force and saw her. Anne just stood there a little awestruck.
''So yeah and that's when I found you.'' Sprig said, finishing his story.
''Dude that's great, at least you learned something, my ship just got… well'' Anne pointed at the swamp where once the ship was.
Sprig hopped on her shoulder.
''Don't worry we will get your ship back!''
''Thanks Sprig, let's go home Hop Pop must be worried.'' The two would walk home.

Anne and Sprig arrived home. Hop Pop still didn't find the plug and Anne's room was still flooded. Hop Pop offered the couch to sleep on and Sprig offered his room. Anne tried to sleep in Sprigs room but after a while and some struggles, (and a fight with some water bugs) Anne decided to sleep in the living room on the couch. She was bored actually. She was just lying there. Suddenly a small speaker flew in from the window. Sprig was on the other end of it. They talked for a while about some stupid stuff, untill Sprig asked something more important.
''So Anne, I know you said you didn't complete your training but are you willing to teach me? I know I don't feel the 'force' like you do but I just feel there something inside off me, that was always there.''
''I know that I haven't completed my training, but I can …try to do my best.'' Anne smiled.
''Yaaaa I am going to be a wizard!'' Sprig yelled loud.
''ÇAN YOU GUYS BE QUIET PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP.;; Both Hop Pop and Polly said.
''SORRY!'' Anne and Sprig yelled.

The Newt king was on his balcony staring at the crashed ship outside, the technology reminded him of years past. He of course recognised the symbol on the ship, Jedi….. The king knew what happened in the galaxy, he had sent some probes and tapped the holonet, he knew of the darkside pretender.. Palpatine. Though he didnt know everything, the probes tried to stay unseen and its difficult and long to travel from here to the main galaxy, hell when the probes enter the system they get sucked in by the planet so they have to sent a long range message from a nearby system, what takes even more time. Why did his lord make it so difficult? Of course he wouldn't question them.
The eye in his crown came to live, asking him to meet them in the basement.
Andrias sighted, and did what he was commanded, walking to the basement.
Once there the Core came to life as it spoke to Andrias in one of his many languages.
''Haa, neyo la yud masur kee, tah uhnah kahru lur shu.''
It was Andrias time to speak.
''Yes my lord I know of the prophecy but we do not know anything of this jedi, and you seen the probes reports there order is destroyed.''
The Core spoke in another language.
'' Soa xesh? " the Core asked.
''Yes we can turn her to our side my lord.''
Andrias heard a voice speak in basic behind him, as one of the Cores, people stood behind him. He knew it wasn't real, just some force projection. It was probably his dad who was about to scold him. But he was surprised when he saw who it was. The oldest of the Core, an ancient being there species once ruling the galaxy. A Builder, a Rakata simply known as Daritha or the Elder. The Elder spoke.
''Mhm very well Andrias you shall train this…jedi, Marcy Wu….. But if she is proven to be a jedi and not a suitable host, then you will destroy her… Understand? '' The Rakata walked behind Andrias putting a hand on his shoulder, a dark hand.
Andrias nodded.
''It will be done my lord.''
The giant Rakata smiled and disappeared leaving Andrias alone. Andrias stood up, ready to welcome this Marcy….
The Core speaks! And the Core is mostly controlled by a ancient Rakata (though he is not the only one in there). For those who don't knwo the Rakata come form Star WArs Knights of the old Republic 1 where they were introduce as a ancient Empire what ruled the galaxy. They used the darkside of the force and even there technolgy was fueled by it. Eventually the Empire went into civil war and a mystrious plague cut off the Rakata connection to the force as there slaves revolted. The species ended up extinct, well not all... The thing about the Rakata technolgy is that not only used the darkside it was somehow self aware and drained the Rakata, many believed that the plague came form these machines who drained the Rakata form the force. But one of them being alive, even a weakend one is well not good news. Before anyone ask, Palps beats the core no question Palps is the most powerful sith, but the core is not looking for a all out attack. But now I have a question for you all and let me know, what jedi out of the clone wars timeline who is aviable could be good master for Marcy?
I seen Emerald Deku say Quinlan Vos but idk. I havent read dark disciple so idk how he is there but I have seen the episode where he is in as the hippie jedi and then perhaps but Quinlan Vos in legends is way way different. In legends he is a no nonsense guy who takes his job very srs and struggled with the darkside so idk tell me what you guys think.
RedLeader ya understand the saber style picks though I think that Sasha would always go for Djem So and when darkside Juyo, Anne and Vaapad idk, doesnt really seem her style and even if it was no one could teach it as Mace Windu made it with Sora Bulq, and they are both well... I think Vader sees Sasha more as, to avoid Kenobi spoilers I am going just say that inquisitor character and your porbaly know who I am talking about. So desposable.
501awezome no worries are favourite Pa'un is still grand inquistitor. I know in legends tehcnically Hydra The Last of the Jedi: Against the Empireis Grand Inquisitor but lets pretend that she either dead or was just a High inquisitor.
TheRussianJedi I will, if I am not busy reading other fics, my books, planning my DND campaigns ect
AstroZ I already answered you in dms
Startheclonewars perhaps Shaak Ti but not sure about Eeth Koth, and Koth already left the Jedi Order as seen in the Vader comic
