Hey guys! Thank you so much for the reviews Pink ranger 13! I wasn't planning on making this a multi-chapter story, but here I am. As always, R&R.
***Several Months Later***
I sat on the floor of my small room with my eyes closed. Opening myself up to the Force, I reached out to find my old master's presence. Master? I asked. Are you there? I think, for the first time in over 20 years, I'm doing something I can be proud of. The rebellion. For years while I lived in solitude, the rebellion grew and grew. Akirah. I gasped.
"Master?"
"Akirah."
In the corner of the small room, a light blue figure stood with her hands on her hips. Her two lekku were wrapped in the same brown leather as they had been the day she'd died. She looked exactly the same as she did during the Clone Wars; she was eternally twenty-nine.
"You finally decided to do something about the Empire."
"Master! I was a known Jedi-I still am... a... Padawan." I looked down.
"Which reminds me." She pulled out the lightsaber I'd seen her fight with and ignited it. "By the will of the Council and by the will of the Force, Akirah Canis, you may rise."
She carefully severed my long padawan braid. I inhaled sharply. Grabbing the braid, I stood up and looked at my Master.
"Eighteen years."
"You weren't ready until now. You started serving the Light again."
"I-I don't know what to say."
At that moment, there was a knock on my door.
"Akirah? Are you alright?"
"Go, Knight Canis."
I walked out of the door and saw Ahsoka.
"Kir, your braid."
"What? Oh. I was meditating and I saw my old master. She knighted me."
"Then now you officially outrank me." She smirked.
"Almost twenty years is long enough."
"We're going to debrief with the other rebel leaders," Ahsoka said.
"I'm coming."
When I walked into the room, everyone else was already gathered.
"Ahsoka, who is that?"
"My name is Akirah Canis. I am a Jedi Knight."
"A Jedi?" The voice came from a Chandrilan Senator Mon Mothma.
"Yes, Senator. I was a padawan during the Clone Wars until my master was killed during the Purges. She gave her life for me."
"All due respect, how are the Jedi going to help us if they can't do anything without a whole squad of troopers showing up?" Someone asked.
"Not to mention inquisitors." Added a green twi'lek pilot. Ahsoka, Caleb, the boy Ezra, and I nodded.
"There's more news. Thanks to the intel provided by Princess Leia of Alderaan, we know that the empire is building a massive weapon; a planet killer."
I looked around and saw a young man, maybe twenty, sitting next to an older Corellian man and a Wookie. He had sandy hair and blue eyes. Blue eyes that looked startlingly familiar. I looked at Ahsoka, who looked at me. After the briefing was over, we approached him.
"So, you're the one who told 'em about the Death Star," Ahsoka said conversationally.
"Yeah. It was mainly by accident, though." He replied.
"What's your name?" I asked. I'd never been one for friendly conversation.
"L-Luke. Luke Skywalker." He answered. I looked at my friend. "Why?"
"Nothing. We... we knew your father. You look just like him." Ahsoka said.
"You knew my father? Did you know old Ben Kenobi, too?"
"Yes. We did. He was Anakin's master and Anakin was Ahsoka's master before she left the Order." I said.
"The Order? The Jedi Order? You left? Why?"
"It was... complicated."
"Oh." Was all he said. His mind, however, revealed a different story. He didn't know how to shield his thoughts and he was asking a thousand questions. I heard a few questions and decided to answer one.
"Neither of us has been trained in a while, but we still know the ways of the Force."
"How did you?" The boy was obviously flustered.
"The Force is powerful."
We found an empty room and I turned to Luke.
"Lightsaber?"
He handed it to me. I tossed him an old helmet with blacked-out eyes.
"First, concentrate on your saber. See it in your mind, and feel it in your hand. Now call it into your hand." Ahsoka said. He did, and I felt the Force move around him. The Force is strong with him. I said to Ahsoka through our bond. Yeah, she replied. The lightsaber flew into his outstretched hand.
"Good," I said.
"Now, take off the helmet," Ahsoka said.
As he did, I grabbed my two sabers and ignited them. I attacked with both sabers, and he managed to block me.
"Impressive." We didn't get to practice more though, because, at that moment, an alarm blared.
"Until we meet again, Luke Skywalker."
