As promised here is chapter 5 and I'll be posting another chapter later tonight. As usual if you have the time please leave a review or send a PM to me or one of my coauthors with feedback. We would really appreciate it.

Chapter 5

Lux and Padme finally made it to the Jedi Temple. Ahsoka was already there waiting outside the temple, but staying carefully hidden and masking her force presence so no Jedi would be able to tell she was there. All that was left to do now was to wait and make sure Lux and Padme came out of the Jedi temple and that there was no sign of some sort of disaster when they finally did; or that they weren't thrown out of the Temple for that matter.

"Kriff," Ahsoka said. "I wonder how long I'll be able to take all of this waiting."

"I thought patience was supposed to be part of your training?" Daughter questioned. "You haven't forgotten that already have you Ahsoka?"

"No,"Ahsoka replied. "I'm just worried. While I do believe that Lux can do this, if someone catches him, not only will he get in trouble, but Padme might be accused of helping him somehow."

"Well let's hope for both of their sakes that that doesn't happen," Daughter said. "Besides most of the Jedi who would be able to catch him are on the council are they not?"

"That is true,"Ahsoka replied. "That doesn't mean there aren't other Jedi capable of capturing him though."

"Just be patient Ahsoka and trust in the Force," Daughter declared. "We must believe in the Force and trust that it will help Lux find the information that we need. Plus as I recall you saying earlier, the Force does work in mysterious ways."

"True," Ahsoka said. "I did say that."

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Padme and Lux walked down a long hallway of the temple Padme seemed to have a rather melancholy look on her face the whole time and it made Lux curious as to why.

"Senator Amidala," Lux said getting her attention.

"Yes Lux?" Padme replied.

"Forgive me if this is intrusive," Lux began. "I can't help but notice that you've seen rather down about something ever since we've arrived here."

"Have I now?" Padme questioned. "Forgive me Lux, it's just that walking through here sort of makes me think of Ahsoka."

"So you too found out about how she left the Jedi order?" Lux questioned.

"Yes," Padme replied. "Jedi Master Skywalker is a close friend of mine, and Ahsoka was his padawan, and over time I became close with her as well. Not knowing where she is right now makes me worry so much about her."

"Yes," Lux replied. "Ahsoka was quite the talented fighter and she was a great person."

"Forgive me Lux," Padme began. "I feel I must ask you this though; have you seen or heard anything from Ahsoka since she left the Jedi order?"

"I'm afraid I haven't," Lux replied. "I can only hope that where ever she is that she is safe and that she's safe and she's doing something that makes her happy."

"I can only hope that as well," Padme stated.

The two of them stopped in front of a large set of closed doors. Standing outside was a tall bald Jedi.

"Senator Amidala," he said acknowledging the senator of Naboo.

"We've been expecting you, and who might this be?"

"Master Windu," Padme said to the bald Jedi. "This is Senator Lux Bonteri of Onderon. The senate asked me to bring an escort."

"It's nice to meet you Senator Bonteri," Master Windu said.

"Likewise Master Mace Windu," Lux replied.

"I'm afraid I cannot allow you in the council chamber though," Master Windu said.

"Would it be okay if I waited in your library while Senator Amidala talks with the council?" Lux questioned.

"Yes," Master Windu said.

"Master Yoda has told me to allow you to walk about the temple as long as you do not interrupt the teachings of the younglings and stay away from the dorms," Master Windu declared.

"I will not disrespect that request," Lux said respectfully.

Master Windu nodded in acknowledgement.

"Senator Amidala," Mace said. "Shall we?"

Padme nodded before following Master Windu into the council chambers.

Once the door was closed Lux turned around and headed back in the direction of the library.

As he walked down the hall he noticed someone familiar coming his way.

It was Anakin Skywalker, Ashoka's former master. As he was walking though. His eyes seemed to be glued to the ground. Was he still so upset over what happened with Ahsoka? Okay, who could blame him though.

"Kriff," Lux thought. "I can't let him see me. It will be a harsh interrogation."

So Lux jumped behind one of the pillars and hoped that the Jedi Knight would not recognize any strange noises or see him.

His attention did turn to Lux's direction for a second, but then he continued walking.

Once he was out of sight Lux got out from behind the pillar and let out a sin of relief before continuing on to the library.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When Lux entered the library the first thing he did was sit at one of the computers and opened up a search engine.

"Master Yoda told us that two senators were going to be here today," A voice said behind him.

Lux turned around to see an elderly woman.

"Is there anything I can help you search for today young senator?" She asked.

"No thank you ma'am," Lux said. "I only wish to look up information on the Force to pass the time."

"Very well," she said. "Let me know if there is anything I can help you with."

"I will," Lux said. "Thank you."

Once she was out of sight Lux typed "Force worshippers" into the search box.

Quite a few things came up, but everything he found focused on the Jedi and the Sith and their association with both the Light side and the Dark side.

"Too broad of a search," he thought. "Better keep this tab open and open another one in case the librarian comes back."

So Lux did just that and in the new search box he typed "Force worshippers, Light and Dark."

After several more minutes of digging Lux found something that caught his attention.

"Centuries ago it was discovered that the Jedi and the Sith were not the only ones who believed strongly in both sides of the Force. Several Jedi have reported seeing people fighting without any force abilities. The two symbols shown above have been seen on several of their garments."

"That one there is the one Ahsoka found," Lux thought.

"These people are reported to believe that both the Light and the Dark side of the Force have their own respected deities and worship the deity of their own side. Whether or not this is entirely sure unknown. Both sides have managed to avoid the Jedi for centuries. These societies as they are called have been reported on several planets, mainly found on the outer rim, they have also been reportedly seen on the list of planets below.

"Perfect," Lux thought.

He looked to make sure no one was watching and plugged the micro drive into the computer. After about a minute he opened a tab to check the search history to find it had indeed been deleted.

"Perfect," he thought. "Now I better go back and wait for Padme. Hopefully she's almost done. Then I have to go back to my office and wait for Ahsoka."

So Lux unplugged the micro drive and headed back to the Jedi council chambers.
