Meeting A Former Padawan.

While things were growing louder around the galaxy, Lucina enjoyed some silence in her hiding place, where her training with Plo Koon was going decently well. Plo did everything he could to teach her to be a jedi, his old body had grown frail over the years, and the injures he suffered during order 66 had only made it worse, so sparring sessions were very limited, and Micaiah's knowledge about combat was limited to basic self defense so she couldn't help much more than healing Lucina if she hurts herself. So Lucina had to train herself most of the time. Right now she was practicing her lightsaber form with Plo Koon watching her from a distance.

He watched for a while until he heard an familiar voice behind him "Well well, things has changed since last time I was here".

Plo turned his head "You're back... How did things go?".

"The Rebellion is still small but growing. But I can tell you more later. Right now I am very curious about the young girl over there" The figure said.

"Her name is Lucina. Micaiah found her after she was badly injured in a battle with Darth Vader... She is also the daughter of Chrom. She really wanted me to train her, since she's had no proper guidance of a master before coming here. I've done my best, but my old and broken body makes physical training very difficult. So best I can do is give her advice and hope she can learn as she goes" Plo explained.

The mysterious figure was silent for a moment before smiling "Well, since I'm here and I will be staying until I'm needed elsewhere. Maybe I can help give her a proper work out".

"That would be very appreciated" Plo said as the mysterious figure began walking towards Lucina.

As Lucina was training she soon heard a voice "Not a bad form. Could use some refinement though".

She stopped and looked to see a young female Togruta who had blue eyes, dark orange skin, brownish-grey lips, white facial markings, a slender build, and white lekku and montrals with blue stripes. The markings on her montrals were unique, and she was wearing simple clothing which fit her slim build really well, likely to not impede her flexibility. She also had two lightsabers on her sides, and Lucina couldn't sense darkness from her.

"Who are you?" She asked.

The Togruta smiled "My name is Ahsoka Tano. I've known Master Plo since I was a youngling. I drop by from time to time to check on him. You were not here when I last visited him".

"Oh, I'm Lucina. I-" Lucina began but Ahsoka held up a hand to stop her.

"No need to explain yourself, Plo already told me everything. How you were found barely alive after a confrontation with Vader. He also told me you are Chrom's daughter" Ahsoka said.

"You knew my father?" Lucina asked.

"Not personally, but my Master knew him. I heard he was a brave a strong jedi guardian and a model jedi. Until he left the order after falling in love. I don't judge him for that. The jedi order can be difficult sometimes" Ahsoka said.

Lucina looked back at her lightsabers "Are you, a jedi?".

"No. I was, but not anymore. But that is a story for another time. For now, I'd like to aid you in your training" Ahsoka said.

"Really?" Lucina asked in surprise.

Ahsoka nods with a smile "Yes, not to brag, but I was trained by Anakin Skywalker, one of the greatest Jedi in the whole order. So I believe I can teach you a few things".

Lucina smiled at that "Then I would be honored to accept your offer".

"Good. We will begin with a simple sparring match" Ahsoka said as she grabbed her lightsabers and turned them on.

Lucina blinked when she saw them "White Lightsabers? I've never seen those before".

"I got these after a... deadly encounter with an Inquisitor. Take it you know about them?" Ahsoka asked.

"I do. I've defeated two of them already" Lucina answered, remembering her duels with the Fith Brother and Camilla.

"Two? Impressive. So you are not completely new to lightsaber combat. And if you survived against Vader, you must be good" Ahsoka said.

Lucina got in to her stance "You'll find I'm full of surprises".

Ahsoka smiled and got ready "Show me".

She charged forward and Lucina quickly blocked her strike. They traded several strikes, with Ahsoka delivering a fast speed blitzing offence which Lucina barely managed to hold of, making it clear Ahsoka was easily a superior fighter to most Inquisitors, though not as overwhelming as Vader was. Ahsoka held a solid upper hand, and Lucina knew she had to fight back or she will be floored right away. Lucina slashed at Ahsoka, who backflipped away before using the force to push Lucina back before she could gain any momentum. Lucina slid across the ground but managed to stay upright. Ahsoka smiled, if Lucina could withstand that, then maybe she had more potential than she expected.

Lucina used the force to increase her speed as she dashed forweard and slashed at Ahsoka's legs, but she jumped over and kicked Lucina in the back, making her stumble forward. Ahsoka ran in, just as Lucina turned around and desperately blocked her strike. Ahsoka began pressing an offensive and putting Lucina on her back foot. What Lucina did not expect, was Ahsoka using her second blade to pry away the blade from her hands. Now disarmed, Lucina ducked away and quickly used the force to pull her lightsaber back in to her hand and was ready to continue.

'Even after being disarmed, she maintained her focus and managed to get her weapon back. Not bad' Ahsoka thought to herself.

Ahsoka forward, and Lucina quickly blocked and held defensively while Ahsoka pressured her him. Lucina knew she couldn't hold her of for long, so she used the force to push Ahsoka back. Ahsoka slid back, surprised that Lucina even managed to do that. Then again she was Chrom's daughter. now it was finally Ahsoka's turn to go on the defense as she blocked Lucina's strikes. Lucina kept the preassure on, knowing if she gave Ahsoka even a second to fight back, she would go back to loosing. Ahsoka kept a cool head, having learned from experience to never cave under pressure.

Ahsoka used her agility to move around and kicked Lucina in the face, and she was starting to get annoyed. Lucina slashed again at full force, knocking one of Ahsoka's lightsabers from her grip. Ahsoka gasped and rolled sideways, dodging Lucina next strike. Ahsoka quickly used a force push to force Lucina away. Lucina stood up and launched another offence but Ahsoka was able to easily block and deflect her strikes. Lucina was becoming more and more frustrated, and it was unbalancing her and making her attacks really predictable. Ahsoka recalled her lightsaber and disarmed Lucina before force pushing him to the ground and keeping her pressed down with her foot, while pointing her lightsaber at her face.

"Tell me, Lucina. Do you know why you lost?" Ahsoka asked.

"Because you are stronger than me" Lucina answered.

"No, try again" Ahsoka said.

Lucina looked confused "Faster? More powerful? More skilled".

"No, it wasn't any of that. You are strong, fast and powerful. And your skills, while still in need of fine tuning, were honed by your experience against the dark side users. The reason you lost was because you were getting angry, and your anger unbalanced you, and made you predictable. You need to control yourself, or you risk the dark side taking hold" Ahsoka explained as she turned of her lightsaber and got of her.

Lucina sighed "I know that... When I finally defeated the Inquisitor that had been hunting me for a while, I felt... powerful, like I was finally on my way of becoming a jedi... But when I faced Vader... I realized just how weak I really was. He was so powerful... So much better than me... I only survived due to pure luck... If I'm ever going to earn the right to call myself a Jedi. Then that's the level of power I need to reach".

Ahsoka sighed as she helped Lucina up "I understand, Lucina, more than you know. But power is just as dangerous to the wielder as it is to the enemy. A wise jedi master once said that those who have power should restrain themselves from using it. That is what you need to learn, Lucina, restraint. If you become obsessed with power, you are more likely to become the next Sith".

Lucina looked down "I don't want that... I don't want to become a monster...".

Ahsoka put her hand on Lucina's shoulder "I know, but it takes strength to resist the dark side, I've struggled with it my fair share of times. Just remember, Lucina. You are not alone".

Lucina smiled at that "Thank you... Ahsoka".

"Wise words, Ahsoka. You too have grown a lot" Plo said as he walks over to the girls.

"Well, I had no choice. Life outside the jedi order demanded me to grow quickly" Ahsoka said.

"Indeed. But I believe there's been enough training for now. Let's head back to the house, Micaiah is preparing dinner" Plo said.

"Great, I'm starving" Lucina said as she and Plo followed Plo back to his home.

Still there was a reason why Lucina desired more power... She had friends she needed to get back to... and a lover... She really hoped they were ok.


Meanwhile, Severa was resting on the bed in her ship. She needed to be alone for a bit. Working with the Rebels had allowed her to cause a few headaches to the Empire, but she was no closer to finding Lucina. She was really worried about her and hoped she was ok... She knew she wasn't dead, she could feel it. But where in the galaxy is she?

"Lucina... you better be alright... Or I will be so mad at you" Severa muttered to herself before she sighed and closed her eyes.


Elswere, Lyn was slowly waking up. Her vision was blurry and she felt weak. She tried to remember what happened... That's right, she was held captive by the Empire, and they were trying to turn her in to an Inquisitor. But she also remembered she managed to break out... But did she manage to escape? She slowly looked around, noticing she was laying in a bed inside a strange room. It wasn't one of the cells, so she hadn't been recaptured... But then where was she? And who brought her here?

"Finally awake I see. Like your new room?" Lyn looked to her side and saw a girl around Lucina's age, with white hair and red eyes "You know, I take deep pride in this room. Do you have any idea how hard it is to have a secret spot on a Imperial world? Not an easy task I tell ya, took a lot of time and effort to make sure no one else learned about this place".

Lyn slowly sat up "Who... are you?".

The girl smiled, but there was something unnerving to her smile "My name is Corrin. And I believe you know what happened to my sister. So you are going to answer my questions and you better be honest. Very honest".

Lyn had a feeling she wasn't out of danger just yet... This will be rough.

Been a while. Just felt inspired to do this, with the Star Wars day getting closer by the second now.
