Anakins ship gently touched the ground. He grabbed his giant fur coat and his bag filled with enough supplies for weeks. Who knows how long finding a good crystal was gonna take.

"Artoo, stay with the ship I'll be back, I promise." The droid responded with a sad beeewoop. "Don't worry I can still contact you." He held up his communicator. He put it back in his pocket and started to move forward.

He surveyed his surroundings, off to the left was a massive mountain, to the right a drop. In front of him laid a snowy plain. He stopped for a moment and connected to the force to guide him. He breathed out and felt the steam rise and drift. He focused on it and notice it traveled towards the mountain. The same area he felt a strong connection to the force from. He opened his eyes and moved to the mountain. He saw a small little opening to a cave and started to move towards. whoooosh, he looked up and saw a LAAT that was flying low. He was trying to sense Ashoka to see if she was on it. Then he did. He smiled, but then he felt something else. Obi-Wan, that nerf herder. Anakin thought quickly and moved into the cave. He just wanted to talk to Ashoka and Rex. He continued inside and he heard Obi-Wan's voice from outside.

"Ashoka you take Rex and move into the cave. Cody and I will search over there. Contact us through the communicator if you find anything. You sure you felt him?"

"Yes, Master I did." That little rat! Anakin thought, he had been sure Ashoka wouldn't have said anything. He moved forward letting the force guide him. The passage was narrow and ice stalagmites and stalactites raised from the floor and ceiling. He used the force to light up the Kyber Crystals to see. He continued on, constantly hearing Ashoka and Rex behind him. Finally, the narrow passage made way to a massive chasm. He looked below and saw hundreds of skeletons. I hope I don't end up like them. Then behind him he heard Ashoka's voice get closer.

"I've been told by the council that he was taking the Barash vow."

"What's that?" Asked Rex

"A vow that refrains from all Jedi activities and to focus on combat." Anakin thought for a minute. He wanted to talk but not yet. Not until he had a crystal in case he had to fight. He looked at the narrow passage and the drop. The drop was at least 80 feet. He backed up a bit and slipped. He grabbed the first thing he could and he hung.

"Look, a chasm," Rex noted.

"Help!" Anakin called.

"Skyguy?"

"I'm hanging on the ledge. get me up there." Rex bent down he had his hand out. Anakin reached for it then fell. He tumbled down and then used the force to soften the landing.

"Come on down." He said smiling. Rex attached his cable to the edge and started to repel down. Ashoka followed, soon they were at the bottom with Anakin.

"Why did you leave?" Ashoka asked as soon as she set foot at the bottom.

"What?"

"Why did you take the Barash vow."

"That's a lie. What happened was Master Windu went to confront Palpatine after I told him about the Chancellor being a Sith Lord. I was to stay at the temple but I had a bad feeling so I decided to go. When I was there Palpatine was on the ground and Windu was over him. He took advantage of me and Windu fighting and struck him force lightning making him unconscious. I and Palpatine got into a saber fight that lasted hours and moved through the Senate building and out onto the streets. It wasn't until I manage to take off a limb I was able to finally kill him."

"That's all well and good but that still doesn't explain the vow." Rex piped in.

"I never took it, I had been involved romantically with Padme. We have two children together. After the fight, I told Windu and when the War came to an end they banished me." They sat in silence for a few moments before Ashoka broke the ice.

"So why did you come to Illum?" Ani pulled out his hilt and showed them.

"They took the crystal. Yoda came to me when I was asleep and basically said the way for me to make up for my mistakes is to become a Grey Jedi."

"So you're trying to find a crystal?" Rex asked.

"Yeah, but none of them have spoken to me yet." That's when he finally looked around and noticed the lightsaber hilts with the skeletons. He picked one up and it glowed a magnificent emerald green. They all look at each other.

"This must've been a massive battle," Ashoka said quietly as a mouse. That's when Anakin heard it a slight voice from the back of his mind he couldn't place it though. He moved until the voice became a scream. He had a sudden urge to look down and he saw it. A skeleton clad in ancient Sith battle armor. Right next to the bones laid the lightsaber and he picked it up and turned it on. The crimson red glowed in the almost dark,

"This is it." He said in a voice that was sure.

"I'm sorry General, but uh, it's red," Rex said just behind Ashoka.

"Yeah, but I can make it white. Sith usually will take a crystal and pour all of the dark side force over it to make it 'bleed' and that's what makes it red." He started to explain. "If I can just put the pure force in it I should be able to return it to just the force." Anakin finished.

"Really, you can do that?" Ashoka asked.

"I don't see why not. If it worked for the Sith it should theoretically work for me."

"What's this?" Rex knelt down and picked up what appeared to be a Holocron.

"That's a Holocron." Ashoka took it from Rex and looked at it.

"I'll take it. You tell the Jedi about this place it needs to be known and catalog. I will take this to a planet where I won't be bothered and is filled with the force."

"And where's that Skyguy?"

"The first Jedi temple, the one on Tython."
