Thank you all for your support and I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.

We find ourselves on the planet of Felucia as Droid forces had Anakin and Obi-Wan's squads pushed back.

Flying in from Space, Plo Koon and the clones were approaching the planet.

"Warthog, protect the gunships. I will take out the Fighters." Plo Koon said.

As he flew in towards the Separatist ships, the Millennium Falcon and several ships flew past them toward the planet.

"They made it through the first wave. Concentrate all fire on the cruiser on the left." A Clone orders as the Republic Cruiser open fired.

As the troopers flew in one ship was being followed by two vulture droids.

"I can't shake these two!" The clone said.

"Well lucky for you we're here!" Hunter said over the intercom.

On the Falcon we see Hunter and Tech manning the controls.

"Crosshair you got a shot?" Tech asks as Crosshair manned the guns.

"These upgrades you put in better work." Crosshair said.

Flying in they opened fire destroying one droid while the other was crashing toward Anakin and Obi-Wan's squad.

"Look out!" Obi-Wan said pulling Anakin out of the way as the droid smashed into a Walker.

"That was close." Anakin said.

"If those fighters got through, then our gunships can't be far behind. Prepare the troops to evacuate." Obi-Wan said.

Flying in behind them, the gunships and falcon landed.

"If you want to live get your butts on the ships now!" Wrecker calls out.

"You heard him grunts! Move! Move!" Rex orders as everyone made their way to the ship.

"Ahsoka and Shun should be back from their jungle patrol. Where are they?" Anakin asks approaching the ship.

"I'll contact them again." Obi-Wan said.

Nearby we see Shun and Ahsoka in a battle against droid forces.

Using her airbending Ahsoka blasts a droid off the ship while Shun used his earthbending to split the ground underneath droid forces.

"Man I need more field practice with this." Ahsoka said using her lightsaber to deflect fire.

"You'll get it, it just takes time." Shun said when their comlinks went off.

"Shun, Ahsoka what is your location?" Obi-Wan asks.

"We're about 6 clicks away." Ahsoka said.

"We've engaged the enemy and we got them on the run." Shun said.

"They're here to extract us we're leaving." Obi-Wan said.

"What? No we can't leave. If we do the Separatists will win." Shun said.

"We can't retreat Master we've broken through." Ahsoka agrees.

"We're outnumbered. You must evacuate. That is an order!" Obi-Wan orders.

Looking ahead, Shun saw the droids. If they ran away they would continue holding onto this planet and it could put them and the locals in danger.

"Negative Master. I can't let them win and have this planet." Shun said.

"Master Skywalker taught me never to let up when the tinnies are on the run." Ahsoka said.

"They are running back here to regroup with the main force! You are putting your troops' lives
in danger, young ones. You will get on the Gunships when we arrive." Obi-Wan said hanging up.

As the droids were retreating the two Padawans were about to move in when the Gunships land in front of them.

"What are you doing?" Ahsoka asks.

"Get in the ships now!" Anakin orders.

"They're retreating. We can still save this planet." Shun said.

"They're about to overrun you, Ahsoka. You just can't see it." Anakin said.

"Shun I know you want to help but there is no shame in defeat. There is however shame in charging headfirst into a death trap. Now get on the ship." Obi-Wan said.

Growling in frustration the Padawans and clones made their way to the Gunships leaving behind their walkers.

Flying up the two Padawans saw the droid army completely surrounding the walkers and destroying them not a minute later.

Cringing both looked to see their masters were not happy.


Returning to Coruscant, they stood in front of the Jedi Council.

"Padawan Ahsoka and Padawan Shun, do you feel Master Kenobi's description of the incident is accurate?" Mace asks.

"Yes Masters." Both said.

"More to add, do you?" Yoda asks.

"We know we were wrong. I just got so caught up in my own success I didn't look at the battle as a whole. I wasn't being disobedient, I just forgot." Ahsoka apologizes.

"I'm sorry too. I was believing we could save Felucia and my desire to win was all I thought about." Shun apologizes.

"Masters, this incident is my responsibility. Because of Ahsoka's advanced abilities, I forgot how young she is. I gave her more freedom than I should have." Anakin said.

"I apologize as well. My Padawan is skilled but he is still new to war. Losing a battle is something he has yet to experience." Obi-Wan said.

"That may be, but it doesn't excuse what happened on Felucia. I think these two need time away from the battlefield." Mace said.

"On Archive security, reflect on your actions you can, Padawans." Yoda suggests.

"Guard duty? For how long?" Ahsoka asks in a disappointed tone.

"Longer now." Mace glares.

"Oh come on. Can't we get anything else? We've won many fights and you think we need to guard a library?" Shun asks.

"You want it to be longer?" Mace asks making Shun growl.

"Anakin." Obi-Wan said getting his attention.

"Master?" Anakin acknowledges.

"Take Ahsoka to the Archives. I want to have a word with my Padawan." Obi-Wan said.

"See you down there." Ahsoka said as she and Anakin left leaving him alone with Obi-Wan.

"Master I'm sorry. I really am." Shun said.

"Shun I know you want to help but even with all your abilities sometimes you can't win every fight." Obi-Wan said.

"You're right Master." Shun sighs. "I just hate the idea of leaving good people to suffer. After what happened on Ryloth and seeing the damage I just don't want anyone else to suffer like that."

"You are very powerful Shun, but you let your feelings get the better of you. You don't have to keep trying to prove yourself." Obi-Wan said.

"But Master I do. Because it feels like no matter what I do they don't take me seriously because I haven't been here as long as the others. I have to prove that I can make a difference. That I belong here." Shun said.

Turning around Obi-Wan puts his hand on Shun's shoulder. "Shun I was a Padawan myself and I was just as eager as you are to prove myself. Your time will come and I know you will make a strong impact, but until that day comes you could use a break." Obi-Wan said letting go. "Besides I think you could benefit from the archives. You've never been there before so you could use this to learn a valuable lesson."

"Yes master." Shun sighs.


Making his way down to the archives, he sees Anakin and Ahsoka waiting for him.

"So how bad did you get chewed out?" Ahsoka asks.

"Ehh Master says I need this. You?" Shun asks.

"Same." Ahsoka sighs.

"Come on I'll introduce you both." Anakin said leading them to an elderly woman in Jedi robes. "Madam Jocasta Nu. This is Ahsoka Tano and Shun Namikaze. They're to be your new security officers." Anakin introduces.

"Hello Madam." Ahsoka smiles.

"It's nice to meet you." Shun bows softly.

"A pleasure." She smiles.

"I'll leave you three to it then." Anakin said leaving.

"Let me show you both around." Jocasta said.

Leading them through a giant library, Shun couldn't help but whistle impressed.

"There is more knowledge here than anywhere else in the galaxy." Jocasta gestures.

"I know a certain Owl Spirit who would be jealous to know that." Shun chuckles.

"You know I was quite intrigued when I heard about you Avatar." Jocasta said getting his attention.

"Really?" Shun asks.

"Yes your world sounds like one that is rich in history and experiences. I hope someday to add that to our archives." Jocasta said.

"Maybe." Shun shrugs.

"Master Kenobi says there are even texts here that are forbidden to read." Ahsoka points out making her chuckle.

"The archives hold a great many secrets. It's true." Jocasta said gesturing a door that Master Fisto was approaching. "Beyond this door lies the Holocron vault."

"What's a Holocron?" Shun asks.

"Holocrons are special artifacts exclusive to the Jedi and they contain the most closely guarded secrets of the Jedi Order." Jocasta explains before turning to the Jedi Master. "Good morning Master Fisto."

Turning to them Kit nods before waving his hand in front of the vault causing the lock to open with the Force.

"Any chance we can go inside?" Ahsoka asks.

"Oh I'm sorry my dear but I myself haven't been inside there in years." Jocasta said.

"But you run this place. Why aren't you allowed in there?" Shun asks.

"Only members of the Jedi Council are allowed in there. Guarding the Holocrons is one of the most important duties a Jedi can be given. Are you two up to the task?" Jocasta asks.

"Definitely." Ahsoka nods.

"Bring it on." Shun nods.


Meanwhile, in the dark undercity of Coruscant, a figure was hiding out in a room. As the light from the window shines in we see a duros male with a leather getup, blasters, a toothpick in his mouth and a cowboy hat. This was Cad Bane.

"Excuse the interruption." On the table we see a hologram of Darth Sidious. "As I was saying Bounty Hunter I have needs of your services."

"I'm listening." Cad Bane said.

"I need a Jedi Holocron." Siduous declares.

"To get a holocron, I'd have to break into the Jedi Temple. It's impossible, not to mention deadly." Cad Bane points out.

"Perhaps your reputation has been exaggerated." Sidious taunts.

"I want a Rogue-class starfighter with elite weapons, cloaking device, the works. Oh, and triple my usual rate." Cad Bane lists.

"Your price is of no concern. I will also provide you with the means to get inside the Temple." Sidious offers.

"Sounds like we have a deal." Bane grins.


At the Jedi Temple, we find Anakin, Obi-Wan and Yoda in a room looking at battle plans.

"The setback at Felucia has affected our efforts in the whole sector. It'll take weeks before we—" Obi-Wan explains before Yoda let out a groan.

Turning around they saw the young Jedi Master was holding his head.

"Master Yoda, what is it?" Anakin asks.

"A disturbance in the Force. Intruders there will be in this Temple." Yoda declares getting their attention.


Back with Cad Bane we see he was working on a Todo 360 service droid.

"You know, if you would just tell me what it is you're doing back there, I could probably be of some assistance." Todo said.

"Look, I'm just doing some maintenance. You've been having memory crashes." Cad Bane said opening a hatch in the back of its head.

"That is preposterous. I have no memory of any crashes." Todo said before realizing something. "Oh, my goodness! I have no memory of any crashes!"

"Exactly." Bane said putting a drive inside its head compartment.

"Oh, no. I am doomed! Bane, you have to help me!" Todo panics.

"Calm down I'm done." Bane said closing it up.

"Oh thank you." Todo said when the door buzzed.

"Get the door." Bane orders.

"I am a techno-service droid, not a butler droid." Todo clarifies.

"Can it, Todo. You are what I say you are." Bane corrects.

Answering the door, Todo saw a female bounty hunter in armor. This was Cato Parasitti.

"Who are you?" Cato asks.

"I am Todo 360, techno-service droid. Who are you?" Todo asks.

"None of your business." She said walking past him.

"Everyone's in a good mood today." Todo said annoyed.

Making her way towards Bane she noticed he was looking at an image of Jedi.

"Who's that?" She asks.

"Bolla Ropal. Jedi, out in the Mid Rim." Bane declares.

"We going after him?" Cato asks.

"Soon. Right now we're stealing a holocron." Bane said revealing an image of a blue cube.

"Impossible. The only place you can get a holocron is…" Cato starts.

"I know, inside the main vaults of the Jedi Temple. Fortunately, our Sith Lord client has set us up with some help. For one, the map of the Temple you're looking at right now. For another, a security chip that I've placed in my droid." Bane explains.

"I have been given all the technical data regarding security systems in the Jedi Temple." Todo declares.

"Both the vent shafts and the vault itself are equipped with all kinds of traps and security measures. Todo can take them out, but we'll need help from someone inside the Jedi library. And that's where your talents as a changeling will come in." Bane said before gesturing to a dead boy in Jedi Robes.

"He looks like a Jedi." Cato said.

"He was. His name was Ord Enisence. You should be able to walk into the Archives and monitor us without a problem." Bane said.

Walking up to Ord's dead body, Cato touches him, and instantly her body changes to match him.

"Now that I am a Jedi, I can do that." Cato said changing her voice.

"Good. You'll need these. They're ear comlinks so we can keep in communication." Bane said tossing her one.

"Hmm. The vault is in the library, which backs onto the communications center. There'll be swarms of Jedi nearby." Cato said looking at the map.

"We'll use that to our advantage." Bane said.

"Even if you get into the vault, how are you going to crack that safe?" Cato asks.

"Let me worry about the safe. First things first." Bane said ready to begin the heist.


At the Jedi Temple, Anakin and Obi-Wan were walking down the hall trying to decipher Master Yoda's vision.

"Where do we start looking for these intruders? What could they be after?" Anakin asks.

"I doubt they've come to hijack starfighters." Obi-Wan said.

"What can they get here that they can't get anywhere else?" Anakin asks.

"Information." Obi-Wan realized.

"The Jedi Transmitter Codes." Anakin realized.

"Every piece of troop information in one place." Obi-Wan said.

"The East Tower." Anakin said.

"The east tower communications center." Obi-Wan nods.

"I'll head there right away." Anakin said.

"I'll monitor the perimeter defenses from the central security station." Obi-Wan said as the two ran off in different directions.

Little did they know Bane and Todo had begun their heist.


In the Archives, Shun and Ahsoka were walking down the hallway when they noticed what appeared to be Master Enisense.

"Good afternoon, Master Enisence." Ahsoka greeted.

"Hey." Shun waves.

"Uh good afternoon younglings." Enisense said.

"Can we help you with something?" Shun asks.

"Uh no thanks young man. I wouldn't want to be a bother." He said.

"Oh, it wouldn't be a bother at all, Master. Things are slow right now. We could use something to do." Ahsoka said.

"Cato, come in. Cato, are you there yet? Cato, come in!" Bane said into the commlink.

"Thank you. I'll be fine on my own." Enisense said walking past them.

"You sure?" Ahsoka asks as the Jedi turns to them.

"Look, youngling, I said I was fine. Now let me go about my business." He said before storming off.

"Geez someone's in a bad mood." Shun said.

"We can't do anything right today." Ahsoka mutters.

As the two of them walked away Madam Jocasta noticed this.

Sitting down a screen Master Enisense logged in.

"I'm in." Enisense said.

"About time. Just tell us where to get in." Bane said impatiently.

"All right, there's a weak point in the shield that Todo should be able to break through. I'm beaming him the coordinates now." Enisense said.

As Todo got to work Cato jammed the temple's scanners allowing Todo and Bane to sneak in.

In the security tower, the machines blinked rapidly for a few seconds before returning to normal.

"What was that?" Obi-Wan asks.

"The system is just recycling, sir." A droid said as a hologram of Anakin appeared.

"Master, I'm in the tower. No intruders, but something just happened. All the scanners were behaving strangely for a moment." Anakin said.

"Yes, something happened to the system down here, too. It cannot be a coincidence." Obi-Wan said as the door opens revealing Master Yoda.

"Arrived, the intruders have." Yoda declares.

"But if they are not in the tower, what are they after?" Obi-Wan asks.

"The communications center, perhaps, their target is." Yoda suggests.

"They must be in the central ventilation system." Anakin assumes.

"Let me check the system." Obi-Wan said typing on the screen and the map goes off. "You're right, there has been a disturbance. It's near the top of the south tower."

"I'll meet you there." Anakin said hanging up.

"On high alert, place the Temple." Yoda orders.


As Bane and Todo made their way through the security system and through the ventilation system Cato was giving them orders and support from the library.

Approaching her, Madam Jocasta taps Cato's shoulder.

"Excuse me. I don't mean to disturb you, but the whole Temple is on high alert." Jocasta warns.

"Thank you." Attacking her, Cato knocks Jocasta out before using her powers to change into Madam Jocasta.

"Cato come in, we're over the vault." Bane said.

"Give me a moment to check out the security system." Cato with Jocasta's voice said.

"What happened to your voice?" Bane asks.

"Change of plans. I'm the librarian now." Cato said.

"Hurry it up, Cato. We can't stay hidden for long." Bane said hearing Anakin and Obi-Wan enter the vents.

"The vault is filled with laser sensors that go in every direction. I'll try to deactivate the whole system from here." Cato said.

"Just hurry. I can hear them. They're looking for us in the vent system." Bane said.

Making their way through the vents, Anakin and Obi-Wan went in the direction of the communications tower but came up with nothing.

"I don't think they came this way." Anakin said.

"Master Yoda, are you picking up any other life signs in this quadrant?" Obi-Wan asks through his commlink.

"Deep in the Temple, the intruders are." Yoda said.

"How are they managing to stay out of our way?" Anakin asks.

"Possible it is, receiving assistance they are from inside." Yoda said.

Inside the vault, Bane and Todo were finishing up getting past the lasers.

"Almost there. Are you done deactivating those laser beams yet?" Bane asks as Todo shuts them down.

"We are good to go." Todo said.

"Good. Start cutting through that wall." Bane said pointing in a different direction.

"This job just gets weirder and weirder." Todo said getting to work.


In the archives, Shun and Ahsoka came in from opposite directions.

"Anything on your end?" Ahsoka asks.

"Nope." Shun said when their commlinks went off.

"Padawans, alert, you must be. Sense deception, I do. Posing as a Jedi the intruder is. Find Master Jocasta you must." Yoda warns.

Hearing this both narrowed their eyes.

Making their way through the halls, they hid behind a shelf.

"Bane, the two Jedi have turned around and are making their way toward you." Cato said and instantly the two Padawans were on her.

"Who are you and what have you done with Madam Jocasta?" Ahsoka asks.

"The same thing I'm going to do to you." Activating her lightsaber the fake Jocasta attacked them, but Ahsoka dodges the attack and blasts her with an air attack sending her skidding across the table.

Grinning Ahsoka looked to Shun and both activated their lightsabers.

"Time to see if those Airbending lessons you gave me paid off." Ahsoka said.

As Cato got up she saw the two Padawans charge in.

Swinging the lightsaber at them, Ahsoka dodges the attack and jumps over.

Putting a hand against her spine, Cato was struggling to try and hit her but Ahsoka wasn't giving her that opening.

"Too slow!" Ahsoka jumped up to reveal Shun swinging his lightsaber and knocking Cato's out of her hand.

"Surprise!" Slamming his foot down a pillar of earth shot up from under Cato launching her in the air and the two used Airbending to slam her down to the ground.

"You may have Madame Jocasta's shape, but not her skills." Ahsoka said as Cato reverted back to her original form.

Back in the vault, Bane and Todo were hard are work.

"Todo are you done yet?" Bane asks.

"These things take time." Todo insists.

"Some butler droid you are." Bane mocks.

"I am a Techno service droid!" Todo snaps.

Nearby Anakin and Obi-Wan see the open vent and follow through.

"Master are you there?" Shun said through Obi-Wan's commlink.

"Shun? What is it?" Obi-Wan asks.

"We've captured the Intruder disguised as the Jedi. She says the intruder is in the holocron vault." Ahsoka said confusing them.

"A holocron is no good without a Jedi to open it. What are they up to?" Obi-Wan asks.

"They must be trying to gain access to the communications center from the vault." Anakin assumes.

"Let's move." Obi-Wan said.


Inside the vault, Bane was struggling with the lock.

"I'm not going to be able to do this without a diagram. Cato, come in!" Bane said but got no answer. "Cato?"

"What has happened?" Todo asks.

"Something's gone wrong. Todo is the hole finished?" Bane asks.

"Yes but…"

"Got to the communications tower." Bane orders.

"What?" Todo said confused.

"You heard me." Bane said.

"Bane, the communications center will be crawling with Jedi. Why do I need to go in there?" Todo asks.

"Now!" Bane snaps.

"Okay okay." Going through the hole Todo made his escape.

Placing a charge next to the vault lock Bane snuck off as it counted down.

Feeling the shockwave of the explosion, Anakin and Obi-Wan run to see the vault was open and Todo's hole.

"The Communications Center!" Obi-Wan points.

"Let's go!" Anakin said as they rushed through it.

Once they were gone, Bane made his way into the Holocron vault to see the room was filled with those things.

Reaching out Bane takes one and puts it in his bag.


In the Communications tower, Yoda, Aayla, Mace and Kit Fisto were on the lookout when the vents open revealing Todo.

"Oh uh hey guys." Todo said as Anakin and Obi-Wan were approaching. "I was just, um, testing the access hatch. Works great."

Suddenly a loud blinking noise went off in the back of his head.

"Bomb!" Mace gasps.

"Bomb? What bomb? Is there something going to blow up?" Todo asks.

Using a Force Push, Mace knocks Todo into the vents and they hear the beeping.

"Bomb!" Obi-Wan gasps as he and Anakin run for cover just as Todo blew up.


In the archives, Shun and Ahsoka were leading Cato through the halls when Madam Jocasta awakened.

"Madam librarian are you okay?" Ahsoka asks.

"I think I'm all right. We must call security." Jocasta said.

As they walked down one hall they didn't notice Bane wearing a Jedi robe sneak by.

Entering the vault, Yoda, Mace, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Shun and Cato see the damage.

"Our War operations. It was never about." Yoda realized seeing the missing holocron.

"Come on, changeling, we have a new home for you." Ahsoka said leading Cato out.

"I don't get it. Why go through all this for a holocron?" Shun asks.

"Wait." Cato said getting their attention. "Bolla Ropal."

"What did you say?" Mace glares.

"Bolla Ropal." Cato repeats. "That's who Bane's next target is." Instantly Mace and Yoda had an idea.

"Who's that?" Anakin asks.

"He is the keeper of the Kyber crystal, the data on which can only be read by holocrons." Mace explains.

"What exactly is on that crystal?" Ahsoka asks.

"A list of every known Force-sensitive child in the galaxy. The future younglings. The future of the Jedi Order." Mace declares horrifying Shun.

"Wait what?! That's how you guys bring Jedi Younglings to the temple? What the hell is wrong with you people?!" Shun snaps.

"You have a problem with this now too?" Mace asks annoyed.

"You guys use crystals and holocrons to track down little kids from all over the universe, take them from their families and bring them here? That's Child Abduction!" Shun said.

"It's recruitment Shun. We go to the planets where the Force-Sensitive Children are and explain the situation to their families. It's a very calm manner, basically, the Future Younglings have the opportunity to help protect the galaxy. Yes we do take them but by doing it at a young age we prevent them from getting too emotionally attached and making it harder on the Younglings." Obi-Wan explains.

"It's true that's how it happened with me." Ahsoka said.

"That just sounds like Child Abduction with extra steps." Shun said not convinced.

"How different is it from when you were trained to be the new Avatar?" Anakin asks.

"My family and I knew what I was getting into, but I could still see, talk and go back to my family whenever I wanted to. They come with you and they never see their families again." Shun points. "How can you people be fine with this?!"

"Shun." Obi-Wan said getting his attention. "I get that you have an issue with this but if we don't move fast the wrong people will have this information." Obi-Wan said.

"He's right. We need to contact him now." Anakin said.

"That's going to be hard to do. He's out of contact, somewhere in the Devaron system." Mace said.

"Seek him out, you must." Yoda insists.

" Ahsoka and I will set out immediately." Anakin said as Ahsoka passed Cato to Obi-Wan.

"Take Shun with you, if this Cad Bane is still on Coruscant I'll find him." Obi-Wan said.

As much as Shun hated this he knew he had to stop Bane first before he hurt someone.

"Shun come on!" Ahsoka calls out.

Gripping his shirt to feel his necklace, Shun followed after them.


Chasing after Bane we find ourselves in the Devaron system as a huge battle was going on.

Firing at full force they sent a Separatist cruiser plummeting.

"I guess we're going down with the ship." A droid said.

"Roger roger." Another droid screams as they plummeted to their doom.

"General, we're receiving an urgent transmission from the planet." Admiral Yularen informs.

Heading to the main room, Anakin, Shun, and Ahsoka saw it was a clone fighting off droids.

"General Skywalker, our base has been overrun! There's no possibility of evacuation! They've taken General Ropal and the Holocron memory crystal." He said.

"Do you know where they went?" Anakin asks.

"Sorry, sir. We tried to stop them, but they left the outpost." The clone said as a droid grabbed him from behind and a loud scream was all they heard before it ended.

"Transmitter's been destroyed at the source, sir." A clone said.

"I think we all know what happened next." Shun frowns.

"We need to find the ship Master Ropal is on." Anakin said.


Meanwhile, on one ship, we see the Rodian Jedi Master being dragged through the halls and hooked up to a device suspending him in the air.

Walking up to him a Magna Guard jabs him with his staff waking him up and also electrocuting him.

"You will remain conscious, Master Jedi. The bounty hunter has some questions for you." A droid said before turning to the Magna guard. "Attach mind limiters, pain pulsers and give him a full dose of X-C33."

"Right away sir." It mumbled.

In the control room, Bane was sitting in the chair when a droid approached him.

"Sir, that Republic ship has destroyed our escort and is blocking our escape." It informs.

"Whoever's commanding that cruiser is a bold one. Move us out of the battle zone and prepare to jump to hyperspace. I have a small favor to ask our Jedi guest." Bane said ready to get what he came for.


On the Republic Ship, Yularen noticed the Separatist ship fleeing.

"General, a Separatist command ship is fleeing the battle." He informs.

"You think that's the one Master Ropal is on?" Shun asks.

"I'm sure of it." Anakin nods. "Admiral, intercept them before they can jump to hyperspace. I'll ready the troops for boarding."

"Boarding? We have no boarding craft. We were prepared to land on the planet, not aboard another ship. You can't be serious." Yularen said.

"I am Admiral. Thank you for your opinion. Now, target their hyperdrive. We don't want them getting away."

Following orders, they open fire on the ship hitting it multiple times.

In the hallway, Bane was rattled softly when a droid came running towards him.

"Sir! Captain! Sir, they hit the power converters so we can't go into hyperspace." It informs.

"Hmm I wonder what the Jedi are planning?" Bane asks himself.

In the cargo bay, we see Anakin, Shun, and Ahsoka walk in to see Rex and Hunter gathering up the Bad Batch and some more clones.

"I've rounded up three brigades, sir." Rex informs.

"And with my team that's the equivalent of 4. So where are we going?" Hunter asks.

"We're going to board a Separatist frigate, rescue Master Ropal and recover an archive holocron." Anakin explains.

"We have no assault crafts sir. Only a couple of fighters, the Falcon and the Twilight." Rex points out but Anakin didn't care. "Waiting for orders sir."

"And the plan is?" Ahsoka asks getting Anakin's attention. "Just curious."

"As am I." Shun said as Admiral Yularen walks in.

"I came down to see if I could be of any help, General Skywalker." He said.

"Actually you can. Activate those walkers Admiral." Anakin said pointing to the walkers nearby.

"You are not thinking of using those to transport the clones to that frigate." Yularen gasps.

"They are pressurized." Ahsoka points out.

"And they're equipped with magnetic feet. Not bad General." Rex said.

"This just got fun." Wrecker grins.

"Master, you're a genius." Ahsoka said.

"A mad genius, but still." Shun said.

"Those walkers are designed for terrain, not space." Yularen insists.

"Rex load'em up." Anakin orders ignoring him. "Let's go you two!"

Nodding the three ran towards the 4 walkers.

"BD where are you little buddy?!" Shun calls out.

Hearing him, BD pops his head out from inside the falcon.

"I need you!" Shun calls out.

Running to him, BD attaches himself to Shun's glider and beeps happily.

"Like I could honestly do this without you." Shun smiles.

"Dibs on the big one!" Wrecker said as the Bad Batch took their own walker.

"Execute Battalion, take AT-AT 300! Carnivore Battalion, Walker 773! Let's go!" Rex said as they took the position.


On the enemy ship, Bane was torturing Master Ropal.

"Simply open this little box of yours, so I can get the information from this crystal, and your suffering will come to an end." Bane offers holding out the Holocron.

"You will never get me to unlock the holocron." Master Ropal pants.

"Unfortunately, I don't have time to discuss this with you. Hit him again, full power." Bane orders as the droids turn on the machine zapping Master Ropal making him groan in agony.

"I'm not sure how much more of this he can take." A droid informs.

"Are you a medical droid?" Bane asks.

"No." It replies.

"Then step back and shut up. More power." Bane orders.

Turning up the voltage to full power, Master Ropal couldn't take it anymore and the machine flatlined.

"We've lost all his vital signs." The droid said as they stopped the torture.

"Check him." Bane said as a Magna guard electrocutes him.

"No response. He's dead." The droid said.

"Looks like we will have to find another Jedi to open this Holocron. Only next time, I will try a different method." Bane said walking out of the room and leaving the dead Jedi alone.


As the Republic Ship floated above them the cargo bay opens as Shun, Anakin and Ahsoka wearing space suits held onto the sides, the walkers dropped down and landed atop the enemy ship.

"Fire!" Shun orders as they went on the attack.

Inside Bane was talking to a hologram of Nute Gunray.

"When Darth Sidious asked me to loan you the Federation fleet, he didn't say you were going to war! Bane, you have already lost four of my ships. I hope you can pay for all this." Nute threatens.

"One authentic Jedi holocron and the memory crystal I was after. When my benefactor gets this, he will compensate you for your puny fleet." Bane said as an explosion goes off making them rattle. "Sounds like the Jedi want it back."

Outside the ship, Vulture droids flew in and landed on deck.

Jumping off the walkers, the Jedi ignited their lightsabers and attacked.

Deflecting the droids fire, they sliced off the vulture droids legs and destroyed them.

Stabbing his saber into one, Shun makes a hole in the armor.

Sending his fire bending down the hole the droid caught fire and exploded allowing the walkers to advance.

"The Jedi are overwhelming our vulture droids. Should we send out reinforcements?" A droid asks.

"No." Bane orders.

"What are you doing?" Nute asks shocked.

"Did you say no?" The droid asks but Bane just glares at it. "Roger Roger."

"The Jedi will board the ship and get the holocron back! Transmit the information and close the deal immediately!" Nute orders.

"I can't. Only a Jedi can access it and besides I have 3 on their way to help me." Bane said looking at them on screen. "Two more than we need for our purposes."

"You'd better live through this. I want my money, Bane." Nute threatens.

"Count on it." Bane said.

From the walker, Crosshair fires several shots hitting the droids and allowing the others to move in.

"R2 you're up!" Anakin said.

As the astromech flew in R2 opened the hatch allowing them all to drop in.


In the control room, Bane was barking orders at all the droids.

"Wipe all the frigate's memory banks and destroy every record of our mission. Initiate the self-destruct sequence. You, transfer all ship functions to my wrist com. I want control of doors, gravity generators, everything." Bane orders.

"Roger, roger." One droid said.

"The rest of you, stay here and defend the bridge." Bane said kicking open a vent.

"We're defending the bridge alone? Against the Jedi?" The droid asks as Bane made his escape. "I hate this job."

Seconds later the door swung open and the Jedi and Clones charged in.

"Here I come!" Wrecker yells charging in.

Using his Earthbending Shun makes Wrecker a ramp allowing him to jump down and smash atop two droids.

"Wait! Wait! Wait! I'm not the Commander! He is!" One droid points and immediately Hunter shot it. "Oh I guess I'm the commander now." It said and Hunter shot the other one.

"BD see if you can find Master Ropal in this place." Shun said.

Beeping BD hops onto the control panel and projecting a recording of Bane.

"One authentic Jedi holocron and the memory crystal I was after." Bane said.

"Oh no he has both of them." Ahsoka gasps.

"Rex, send a squad, lock down the hangar bay and destroy all the escape pods. No one gets off this ship!" Anakin orders.

"Yes sir." Rex nods.

"Hunter, take the guys and smash every tin can on this ship. Do whatever you got to do but leave nothing to chance." Shun said.

"You always say what we want to hear." Hunter said.

"BD you gotta find Master Ropal. Hurry!" Ahsoka insists.

As they were about to head out a loud explosion shook the ship.

"What was that?" Rex asks.

"Wrecker?" Crosshair accuses.

"Don't look at me I didn't even smash anything yet." Wrecker said when Anakin's wristcom beeps.

"General Skywalker, one of the engines on that frigate has exploded. I caution you to avoid the aft section." Yularen warns.

"How much damage is there?" Anakin asks.

"I suggest immediate evacuation." Yularen warns.

"Not until we get what we came for." Anakin said.

Making their way through the ship, they passed by the holding cells.

As Ahsoka opens one she looks in horror.

"Master! I found him." Ahsoka calls out.

Running over, Shun and Anakin look in horror at the dead Jedi Master laying on the ground.

"Rex have some men take Master Ropal back to the Resolute." Anakin orders.

"We might not be able to find the holocron in time, Master. But if it's destroyed with the ship, Nute Gunray won't get it either." Ahsoka said.

"Maybe but I'd rather return it to the library personally." Anakin said.

"Why?" Shun asks getting his attention. "Why would want to bring this stupid thing back? So the Jedi can continue kidnapping children? No matter who gets it those Force-Sensitive Children are just targets. I say we destroy it and be done with it."

"Shun I get you don't like this but why would want to destroy something that has been the key to the Jedi for so long?" Anakin asks.

"They didn't need one when they found us. They found us by accident and they still brought us back. They don't need that piece of junk they just want it because it's easier to grab kids when they're babies and don't know any better rather than find them when they're older like us. Master Skywalker, you told me when you left, they forced you to say goodbye to your mother and they never let you see her again. How did that feel?" Shun asks.

"Shun now really isn't the time." Anakin said.

"How did it feel?" Shun repeats.

"It felt…horrible." Anakin admits surprising Ahsoka and the clones.

"And how do you think she felt that day? Do you really want to be the one to cause other parents that pain?" Shun asks.

As much as Anakin hated to admit it, Shun was right. The day he left Tatooine was one of the best and one of the worst days of his life.

However, before he could say anything the ship shook violently and the lights went off.

"We can settle this later. Come on R2." Ahsoka said.

As R2 and BD turned on their flashlights the Jedi used their lightsabers as glowsticks.

Making their way down the path Anakin noticed Shun gripping his shirt tightly confusing him.

Beeping loudly both droids spotted a figure running down the corridor.

"There!" Anakin said as they ran after him.

Turning into a room, they saw Cad Bane in an entire hanger filled with Battle droids.

"Welcome, Jedi. We've been expecting you." Bane said.

"You're the guy who robbed us?" Shun asks before looking at Anakin. How did you miss him? I mean seriously with a hat that big and stupid he sticks out like a sore thumb." Shun gestures.

"Kill them!" Bane orders as the droids open fired.

Grabbing their weapons the clones fired back while the Jedi deflected enemy fire and moved in.

"Let's make this a bit more interesting. Lockdown!" Bane said turning off the gravity in the room causing everyone to float up while the droids magnetized themselves to the floor.

"Magnetics! We're trained for this!" Rex said as the clones grabbed onto the nearest surface to continue fire.

Metalbending his bracelets, Shun made them into a line and swung in towards Bane.

"What in the?" Bane said as Shun kicks him in the chest.

Slamming his foot to the ground pillars of metal shot up launching the droids into the air.

"I bet I can shoot more than you Crosshair!" Wrecker challenges.

"We'll see." Crosshair said shooting as many as he could.

"Well you're an interesting little jedi." Bane said starting down Shun.

"You're not the only who has tricks up his sleeve." Shun said.

Taking out blaster Bane fires but Shun makes a metal panel deflect it.

Shooting fire at him, Bane uses his rocket shoes to dodge.

As Shun tries to follow, Bane fires a blast hitting a few clones while they were distracted.

"R2 get the gravity generators back on! BD give R2 support." Ahsoka orders.

Beeping BD latched onto R2 as they flew off to fix it.

Floating in Anakin chopped many droids in half while trying to reach Shun and Bane.

As Hunter shoots a droid it smacks into a shell knocking it loose.

"Everyone watch out! Anything hits those missile shells we're all in danger." Tech informs.

Nearby Shun switched from fire to air bending to avoid setting anything off.

Hitting Bane with a gust of air he flew back towards Anakin who delivers a kick knocking the holocron out of his bag.

However just as Anakin was about to get it R2 turns on the gravity causing all of them to fall and hit the ground.

"Great time R2." Shun groans.

Quickly grabbing the holocron, Bane made a run for the exit.

Grabbing his glider, Shun flew in after him.

Looking up Bane shoots at a clone causing him to fall down and crash atop of Shun.

"Shun!" Using the Force, Anakin caught Shun just before he hit the ground.

"I got him Master!" Ahsoka said running past him.

"Ahsoka wait! It's a trap! Anakin warns as he and had Shun land safely nearby.

But before they could catch up Bane used the controls to separate them from Ahsoka.

Growling the two began cutting through the metal doors while the clones fought off the droids.

As they droids marched towards them one slipped on a loose plating made from Shun and blasted the loose shell causing a powerful explosion.

"Hit the deck!" Hunter yells as the rubble came down on the droids crushing them while Anakin and Shun used the Force and Metalbending to stop the rubble from crushing them.


Chasing Bane down the hallway, Ahsoka stops him at the end of the hall.

"You thought you could get away?" Ahsoka smirks.

"You're not much of a challenge, youngling. I got you right where I want you." Bane said.

Drawing his blaster, Bane shoots at her but Ahsoka deflects it making the blast hit him instead.

Lunging at him, Ahsoka swings her lightsaber, but Bane dodges the attack and knocks her arm knocking the saber out of her hand.

Aiming his blaster at her, Ahsoka moves out of the way and elbows his arm forcing him to drop it.

Throwing him to the ground, Ahsoka smirks. "I'm not impressed."

Using the force to pull her lightsaber towards her Bane used this opening to grab her leg and electrocute her causing Ahsoka to scream in pain before falling to the ground.

This time it was Bane's turn to smirk.


Back in the hangar, Shun slowly got up to see Hunter next to him.

"You okay kid?" Hunter asks.

"Been better." Shun groans.

Looking up Shun saw they were separated from Anakin by a large pile of rubble.

"Anakin?!" Shun gasps running to the rubble. "Master Skywalker! Can you hear me?!"

"Yeah, I'm all right. Get back to the hangar. Find transport, but wait for us as long as you can. Shun you're in charge until we meet up!" Anakin calls out.

"What about you and Ahsoka?" Shun asks.

"I'll get her. Now go." Anakin orders.

Looking to the clones, Shun gestures for them to follow him.

Little did they know Admiral Yularen saw multiple explosions go off.

"There's a power surge heading toward the bridge. If you're there, get out immediately. You must abandon your mission." Yularen suggests.

"I don't have the holocron memory and I seem to have misplaced my Padawan." Anakin informs.

"The ship is tearing itself apart!" Yularen said.

"Move off to a safe distance, Admiral, and await my signal for evacuation." Anakin orders before hanging up.

"Of all the Jedi, why did I have to end up with Skywalker?" Yularen groans.

"You'd be amazed how many people say that." Shun chuckles hearing the conversation.


In the hallway, Ahsoka awoke to find herself cuffed. When she tried to undo it she got zapped.

"Oh, I wouldn't do that. Those binders have been specially designed for Jedi." Bane said yanking her Padawan braid off. "The more you struggle, the tighter they get. Impressed now youngling?" He smirks.

"Not really." Ahsoka said before noticing the flames and shells scattered around. "Enjoy this while you can, sleemo. This burning boat is about to finish us both off."

"We have time. The bond between a Jedi teacher and his apprentice is strong." Bane points out.

"Which means my Master will be coming for me any minute." Ahsoka warns as Bane clips her braid to his belt.

"Let's see if we can get him here any faster." Bane said electrocuting Ahsoka making her scream in pain.

Suddenly Bane's commlink went off.

"Sir, a Jedi is coming. He looks very unhappy." A droid said before he was silenced.

"Your master has gotten the message." Bane said making a barrier appear in front of Ahsoka.

As the door opens behind him, Bane and two super battle droids saw Anakin walk in with a pissed off expression.

"You have nowhere left to run, bounty hunter." Anakin glares.

"Let me worry about that, Jedi. If I activate this control, the outside airlock will open and she will be sucked into oblivion. Do you think you can kill me and then save her before she's pulled out into space? It's a horrible way to die. Besides, isn't negotiation the Jedi way?" Bane threatens.

"What do you want?" Anakin asks deactivating his lightsaber.

"This holocron carries information I've been paid to collect. I can't unlock it, but you can. The last Jedi who had it wouldn't open it. I hope you don't make the same mistake. We don't have much time. Hurry it up, Jedi, or she dies!" Bane said about to push it.

"Master don't do it!" Ahsoka said.

"I can't let you die Ahsoka." Anakin said.

Cringing Ahsoka wished she knew how to airbend out this situation but she didn't.

Putting his lightsaber down, Anakin gave into Bane.

"We'll deal with the holocron later." Anakin promises.

"How touching." Bane mocks.


Meanwhile, in another part of the ship, Shun and the clones ran to the hanger to see several droids blocking their way to the last shuttle.

"Do whatever you guys got to do to get us that shuttle!" Shun orders.

"What kind of order is that?" Rex asks.

"Our kind of order." Wrecker said as they attacked the droids.

"Shun." Turning to him, Crosshair threw him a puck. "Throw it."

"Where?" Shun asks.

"As hard as you can." Crosshair said.

Deciding to go with it, Shun threw the puck high into the air.

Aiming at it, Crosshair fires causing it to rebound downwards and blasts through a super battle droid splitting it in half.

Activating his lightsaber, Shun charges in.

"Don't mess with me you buckets of bolts!" Shun said slashing one in half. "I am not in a good mood!" Using a Force Push, Shun sent the droid crashing into 3 others.

"Remind me not to get on this kid's bad side." A clone said.

"I like this Shun." Wrecker chuckles as they continued to fight for their escape route.

Suddenly Shun's wrist com went off.

"Padawan, the main reactor is exposed. It will implode at any moment." Yularen informs.

"We're trying to get to a shuttle but these droids are not making it easy." Shun said grabbing his glider and swinging a blade of air knocking the droids back.

"You need to get out of there." Yularen said.

"No shit! What do you think we're trying to do?!" Shun asks before turning to Rex. "Rex send some clones to get Anakin and Ahsoka now! If Admiral Yularen is getting impatient you know that's a bad sign."

"Yes sir! You two go find the general!" Rex orders as two clones ran out.


Back with Anakin, he was kneeling in a meditative stance causing the Holocron to float into the air and open up.

"Now I will combine this Holocron with the memory crystal I acquired from your dead Jedi friend." Bane said putting the crystal in the Holocron causing it to glow and change into an octagon shape. "My employers will be most pleased." He grins taking it.

Using this opening Anakin uses the Force to grab both his and Ahsoka's lightsabers.

Igniting them he used a dual wield style to take out the droids.

Activating his wrist com, Bane opens the airlock.

Throwing a droid at the lock, the barrier goes down so he could try and save Ahsoka.

While Anakin was busy with Ahsoka, Bane activated his shoes and flew out.

Reaching out Anakin tries to grab Ahsoka but the airlock was making things difficult and his grip was slipping.

Seeing this Ahsoka knew there was only one way out of this.

Taking a deep breath, she turns towards the opening and breathed a powerful gust of air blowing her and Anakin to safety and giving him the boost to shut down the airlock.

Panting heavily, the two looked at each other.

"Ahsoka…did you just airbend?" Anakin asks confused.

"Uh…" Ahsoka gulps seeing she was busted.

Activating her lightsaber he cut her free.

"We can talk about this later. And there will be a later." Anakin said before they made their way to the hangar.

'Sorry Shun.' Ahsoka thought worried about where this would go.


In an area near the hangar, Bane was talking to Nute Gunary.

"Bane did the Jedi cooperate with you?" Nute asks.

"With some encouragement. I have access to the holocron and all the information the memory contains. I only have to get off this ship." Bane said.

"Maybe you should transmit it to me now. Then I can send another ship for you." Nute suggests.

"No thanks Viceroy, I have my own escape plan." Bane ends the call and walks out to see he was right above the shuttle Shun and the clones were fighting to secure.

"Hold it right there!" Turning around Bane saw the two clones staring him down. "You're not going anywhere Bounty Hunter."

However, Bane was unfazed by this.


As Anakin and Ahsoka ran down the hall, Anakin calls Shun.

"Shun I hope you and Rex got us a ride off this bucket!" Anakin said.

"Hang on a second." Shun said before slashing one in half. "Okay yeah we got it! But you need to hurry this place is about to explode. We don't have much time!"

"You'll have to. I'm going after that bounty hunter." Anakin insists.

"Anakin no! That stupid holocron is not worth dying over! Let it blow up!" Shun said but Anakin hung up.

"Master wait!" Ahsoka said stopping him. "Listen Shun is right that holocron is not worth you dying over. We need to get off this ship."

"I can't let Bane get away." Anakin insists.

"Patience Master. Patience." Ahsoka said using the same lesson he taught her.

"You're right." Anakin admits.

In the hangar, Shun made two large earth walls to give the clones a clear path.

"Tech get to the controls! I want this thing in the air the second Anakin and Ahsoka get here!" Shun said.

"Right." Running past him, Tech activated the ship.

As Anakin and Ahsoka ran in they saw what appeared to be a clone blasting Bane and knocking his body to the ground.

"Come on! Come on!" Rex calls out getting their attention.

Running aboard, the shuttle floated up allowing htem to get the clone.

"Trooper did you get the holocron?" Anakin asks.

"No sir." The clone said in a low voice.

"I'll get it." Ahsoka insists.

"No time, Tech get us out of here." Anakin said as they flew off the cruiser just as it exploded.

"Well, it looks like the holocron was destroyed, but at least the Separatists didn't get it." Ahsoka said.

"Bane's dead, but I can still feel him." Anakin said.

Landing back on the Republic Cruiser, Anakin, Ahsoka and Shun walked out.

"Master I'm sorry I let the bounty hunter gain the upper hand." Ahsoka apologized.

"It wasn't your fault, Ahsoka. It was mine, start to finish." Anakin said.

"Well at least we're all safe and sound." Shun said.

"Actually, I need to talk to you Shun. You see I found out something rather interesting." Anakin said.

"Uh what?" Shun asks nervously.

Behind them, the clones were making their way out.

"Hey Denal good job frying that Bounty Hunter." A clone said patting him on the back. "Let's get some grub."

"You guys hungry?" Rex asks when Tech noticed something.

"Hang on a second." Tech said before turning to Rex and Anakin. "General Skywalker something isn't right."

Curious they made their way over while Denal slowly walked away.

"Hey Trooper you need a hand?" Ahsoka asks but Denal didn't listen.

"Wait this is blood, but not ours." Rex said noticing it was green blood.

"That means…that wasn't Bane." Hunter realized before running out. "Stop that trooper!"

"What?" Ahsoka said as the clone kneed her in the gut.

"Hey!" Grabbing his glider, Shun flew in after him with Anakin running below.

Ditching his helmet the clone was actually Bane this whole time.

Jumping onto the ship, Shun swings his staff whacking Bane in the face but Bane took the attack and sweeps Shun's legs making him tumble off.

Activating the ship, Bane took off with Anakin hitching a ride.

Flying around Bane shook Anakin off making it land on the deck.

"Admiral! Deactivate the Hyperspace rings!" Anakin orders.

"What could possibly have happened since I last spoke with you?" Yularen asks.

"It's Bane. Lock those rings now!" Anakin said.

They tried to shut them all down but Bane got one in time and made his escape.

"I really hate that Bounty Hunter." Shun groans.

"We're gonna have to inform the council." Anakin groans.


Making their way back to Coruscant, the three of them explained the situation to the council, but to Ahsoka's surprise didn't mention that she used airbending to save them.

"It is most unfortunate Bane was allowed to escape again." Obi-Wan said.

"With access to the names and locations of the most Force-sensitive children in the Republic." Mace adds.

"Inflict devastating damage on the Jedi Order, he could." Yoda said.

"We've discovered that Bane is working with the Separatists." Anakin adds.

"There are thousands of children on that list. Which will he go after first?" Obi-Wan asks.

"Small chance there is, through the Force, the Council may detect them." Yoda informs.

"Oh come on. You mean to tell me you made us break our backs and almost die for a trinket that does the same thing you can do on your own?" Shun whines.

"Shun, he said a small chance. Meaning this is a very advanced skill that only a few can do." Obi-Wan said.

"You're actually taking pride in the skill that lets you abduct children?" Shun asks.

"How many times do we have to tell you? It's not Child Abduction. The Jedi have been doing this long before you were even born." Mace points out.

Shun was about to say something when Anakin pulls him away.

"Ahsoka why don't you take Shun out for a breather? You two take a break while we try and figure this out." Anakin suggests.

"Good idea Master." Ahsoka said leading him out.


In an unknown location, we see Bane talking to a hologram of Darth Sidious.

"I have delivered what you wanted. The Jedi were no problem. Anything else I can help you with?" Bane asks.

"I need test subjects. Choose four children and bring them to Mustafar. I will take care of them." Sidious orders.

"Kidnapping innocent children? Seems like a small-time crime for the likes of you." Bane points out.

"Among the children of the Jedi, there are no innocents." Sidious assures.

"Sure, sure. As long as I get paid, it makes no difference to me." Bane said brushing it off.


At the Jedi Temple, we see Yoda, Anakin, Mace and Obi-Wan sitting together trying to locate the children.

"A jungle world, domed cities I see, Rodia it is." Yoda declares.

"A house in Kay Tap square. Yes, I see it, too." Obi-Wan said.

"There's an ocean planet, home to Nautolans. Glee Anslem?" Mace assumes.

"Glee Anslem I see not." Yoda shakes his head.

"I sense a place I've been to before. Waterfalls. Naboo." Anakin declares.

"Jan-gwa, a village, southern sector. Sense it strongly I do." Yoda said when Anakin sensed something else.

"The gungan child is screaming." Anakin cringed.

"The future you see, young Skywalker. To Naboo you must go. Cad Bane you will find. With you take your Padawan." Yoda insists as they all opened their eyes.

"You're certain there is no child on Glee Anselm?" Mace asks.

"Into the shadow of the dark side taken the child was. Shrouded is his fate from us. Great the loss is, but more children in danger there are." Yoda explains.

"I'll take Shun and head for Rodia." Obi-Wan said.

"Uh actually Master can I hold onto Shun for a little longer?" Anakin asks getting his attention.

"Something on your mind Anakin?" Obi-Wan asks.

"Look I know Shun isn't exactly a fan of what's been going on, but I think he just needs some help and I want to be the one to talk to him." Anakin said.

"Hmm very well. Just try not to give him any ideas." Obi-Wan said.

"Find more Younglings we will." Yoda assures.


On the planet Rodia, we see Cab Bane wearing a Jedi Robe sitting with a Rodian mother and her son, Wee Dunn who was making a ball float around with the Force.

"Your son is strong with the Force. He will make a fine Jedi." Bane said impersonating a Jedi.

"Master Ropal said the day would come for him to go to the Temple, but not for some time." The mother said.

"Master Ropal was unaware of the danger your son is in. Jedi imposters have been roaming the galaxy, stealing the future younglings. For your son's protection, I'm going to have to take him now." Bane insists.

"He is my only child." The mother said hesitant about this.

Taking out a device, Bane holds it up to her eyes.

"Look into this. It will relax you." Bane said putting her under a trance.

Coming out of hyperspace, Obi-Wan arrives at Rodia.

Beeping his R4 unit tells him the coordinates.

"Let's hope we have arrived in time." Obi-Wan said flying down to the planet.

Arriving the house, Obi-Wan knocks on the door to see the mother answer.

"If you're looking for my son, Jedi, he's not here." She said closing it.

"Where is he?" Obi-Wan asks before hearing a baby cry. "Open this door."

Swinging it open Obi-Wan sees the mother pull a blaster on him.

"You'll never get him!" She vows.

"Where is the Bounty hunter?" Obi-Wan asks using a Jedi Mind trick snapping her out of the trance.

"Bounty hunter? He was a Jedi." She said confused.

"Jedi do not carry blasters." Obi-Wan points.

"What have I done?" She said horrified.

Hearing a soft cry, Obi-Wan turns to see Bane flying off with Wee Dunn.

Running after him, Obi-Wan tries to catch up with Bane but he made it back to the ship and flew off with the Force Baby much to Obi-Wan's frustration.

"Hmm maybe Shun was right. This is Child Abduction with extra steps." Obi-Wan admits.


On Naboo, Anakin, Shun, and Ahsoka arrive to see General Typho and a Gungan arrive to meet them.

"General Skywalker, they told us you were coming." Typho greeted.

"Has the Gungan family been notified?" Anakin asks.

"Yes. Captain Lunker here is in charge of the operation. He will take you to Jan-gwa City." Typho said gesturing to the Gungan.

"Let me take the lead, Master. I've got a score to settle." Ahsoka said.

"Alright you go ahead, Shun and I need to talk." Anakin said.

Frowning Ahsoka knew what it was about.

"Good luck Shun and…sorry." Ahsoka said before leaving.

"What is she talking about?" Shun asks.

Waiting until they were alone, Anakin led Shun to the side.

"Shun back on the Separatist Crusier when I was dealing with Bane he opened the airlock on us, but Ahsoka saved us. And she used Airbending to do it." Anakin declares making Shun's eyes widen.

"Uh are you sure it was Airbending? I mean maybe it was a Force ability." Shun said nervously.

"Shun I know what I saw. And I saw Ahsoka being able to airbend just like you. Now she's never done that before so what happened?" Anakin asks.

Sighing Shun knew there was no way out of this.

"Alright fine. Yes, I made Ahsoka an Airbender when she…when she agreed to join the Gray Order." Shun declares.

"Gray Order? What is that supposed to be?" Anakin asks.

"This is something I've been thinking over for a long time. Look the Jedi, they're amazing but are they so flawed. They act us like we're higher beings and force away everything that makes us happy or stir emotions because they fear the bad. I gave Ahsoka bending because bending is a skill that draws on your emotions." Shun said surprising him.

"But emotions and attachments are forbidden by the jedi." Anakin said.

"I know, but this is what I believe. By accepting our emotions and forming the bonds that we need sure there's a risk of losing them and being sad, but there are also good things. And that's what I'm trying to prove." Shun said.

"Whoa. Shun this is big, like really big. If any of the other Jedi Council learns about this—" Anakin starts.

"I know I know, but Master Skywalker if anyone can know what I'm trying to say it's you. When you had to leave your mother how badly did you want to see her again? Have her stay in your life? How do you think she felt knowing that she would miss out on so much of your life and yet she still let you go?" Shun asks.

Frowning Anakin remembered that day all too well.

"We have to prepare for Bane. I won't say anything but this conversation is not over." Anakin said walking away.


As night came to Naboo, Bane had arrived at Gungan city.

However this time he was trying a new method.

Sneaking into the city, we see a mother gungan rocking her baby wrapped in a blanket to sleep before putting it in the cradle and leaving.

Peeking in through the roof, Bane sees the small figure move under the blanket.

Making his way in Bane pulls back the blanket but to his surprise and confusion there was no baby, it was BD-1.

Beeping loudly, BD zaps Bane making him jump back.

"Why you little!" Bane said as Ahsoka burst out of the cabinet with her lightsaber drawn.

"Don't move Sleemo!" Ahsoka warns.

"You weren't the child I was expecting to find." Bane said.

"Obviously." Ahsoka smirks.

"You're clever, but naïve." Firing a cable at her, Bane yanks the lightsaber out of Ahsoka's hands.

Taking out his blaster he was about to fire when Ahsoka releases an Air Blast much to Bane's surprise as the powerful wind blew him out the window and sent him crashing into the wall.

"You're just like that other Padawan." Bane said.

"Who do you think taught me?" Ahsoka said using the Force to get her lightsaber back.

Beeping loudly BD was trying to alert the others.

Seeing he was in trouble, Bane flew out the window.

However, once he did Anakin jumps off the roof and grabs him.

Coming out from under the dock, Shun makes several water whips shoot out and slam Bane to the docks.

Changing the water to ice, Bane was trapped where he laid.

"I think I've earned the right to wear this again." Ahsoka said taking her Padawan braid back.

Beeping BD walks over to Shun.

"You did great buddy. You totally fooled him." Shun smiles as the little droid climbs onto his shoulder.

Looking over that baby gungan and her mother, Ahsoka smiles as the baby coos happily.

"Your daughter is safe now." Ahsoka said.

Seeing this Anakin couldn't help but see him and his mom in their place. Even though they had it rough the two of them were happy together. Maybe Shun was right. I mean he's gone behind the Council's back. Especially when it came to Padme.

"Do you really believe that?" Bane asks and immediately Anakin cuffs him and shoves him away.


On a Venator class ship, we see Obi-Wan and Mace Windu interrogating Bane.

"We know you've taken at least two children. Where are they?" Obi-Wan asks.

"Beyond your reach." Bane said.

"Who are you working for?" Mace asks.

"I work alone." Bane assures.

"It is only a matter of time before we locate the holocron. Make it easier on yourself." Obi-Wan suggests.

"Or what Jedi? You'll torture me?" Bane mocks.

"I think the fear of whoever you work for outweighs your fear of us." Mace said.

"This conversation is over." Bane said done talking.

As the two Jedi Masters walked out they see Anakin, Ahsoka and Shun approach them.

"We tore that ship apart, but there was no sign of the holocron." Anakin said.

"Or the kids." Shun frowns.

"Did you check the ship's navigation records?" Mace asks.

"First thing we did." Shun crosses his arms.

"They were wiped clean before he landed on Naboo." Ahsoka said.

"We'll have to use the Force to make him talk." Anakin suggests.

"I don't think Bane is that weak." Obi-Wan said.

"Maybe if we all concentrated on his mind together." Ahsoka suggests.

"Mmm. Using the Force to compel a strong mind to cooperate is risky." Obi-Wan asks.

"There is a danger that his mind could be destroyed in the process." Mace said.

"Well do we have any other options?" Shun asks.

Seeing that he had a good point the three Jedi Masters made their way inside.

"You will take us to the holocron." Anakin said using the Jedi Mind Trick.

"Jedi Mind tricks don't work on me." Bane mocks.

"You will take us to the holocron." Obi-Wan said joining in.

"Forget it." Bane struggles.

"You will take us to the holocron." All three said.

"I…I won't." Bane pants.

"And you will take us now!" All three said.

"I will take you…no! Get out of my head!" Bane yells as all three stop.

"Whoa." Shun said surprised. He didn't know the Force could be that dangerous.

"Perhaps we should try again." Anakin suggests.

"I... I've had enough of that. I'll take you to the holocron. You'll get your children back." Bane said admitting defeat.

Soon they were all making their way to the hangar when Mace got a message.

"The Chancellor wants a report on our progress." Mace said.

"Tell him this is not Republic business. It's an internal Jedi affair." Obi-Wan said.

"I'm sorry to disagree, but as long as the Jedi are acting as a military, We should report to the Chancellor, even on internal matters such as this." Anakin suggests.

"Well then it sounds like you just volunteered to go." Obi-Wan smirks.

"What?" Anakin said not expecting this.

"I agree. Report back here when you are finished." Mace said.

Looking at the Padawan's both just smirked.

"Should have kept your mouth shut." Shun smirks.

"Bad move." Ahsoka smirks.

"You know you two are coming with me right?" Anakin asks and instantly both their smirks went away. "That's what I thought." Anakin said turning to Obi-Wan. "This could be a trap, Master. You sure you don't need us to go?"

"Of course it's a trap, Skywalker." Mace chuckles.

"I will contact you when we find the children." Obi-Wan said as they left.

"Holy crap he can actually laugh?" Shun said in disbelief.

"What if they don't find the kids?" Ahsoka asks.

"They will Snips. Come on." Anakin said leading them away.


As Mace and Obi-Wan took Bane to his presumed location, the others went to the Senate to report to Palpatine.

"Ah Anakin good to see you. And if it isn't our young Avatar." Palpatine smiles.

"Your excellency." Anakin nods.

"Excuse us children." Palpatine said leading Anakin inside while leaving them outside.

"Well that was rude." Shun said.

"It can't be helped he's the Master. We're not." Ahsoka sighs.

"So uh Ahsoka. Anakin told me what happened." Shun said.

"Shun I'm so sorry I know you wanted me to keep it a secret but it was the only way to save us." Ahsoka said.

"I understand and Anakin and I talked. He promised to keep it a secret for now but I think I need to talk to him a little more soon." Shun said.

"Hey don't worry if you can explain it to me you can explain it to Master too." Ahsoka assures.

"I hope so." Shun said before realizing something. 'Wait how did Palpatine even know we had a situation? I don't remember anyone informing him.'

Narrowing his eyes, Shun was starting to question the Supreme Chancellor.

On the other side of the door, Palpatine led Anakin to the window.

"I understand you made an important arrest in the plot to destroy the Jedi. To think a simple bounty hunter could create such a plan." Palpatine said.

"I believe someone else, someone much more powerful, was behind this. And I don't think it was Dooku." Anakin said.

"Any clues on who it may be?" Palpatine asks.

"No chancellor." Anakin shook his head.

"Have patience my boy." Palpatine said putting his hand on Anakin's shoulder.


Meanwhile on the planet of Mustafar, we see Wee Dunn crying as a Surgical droid stood next to a hologram of Darth Sidious.

"There, there, child. Soon you will cry no more." Darth Sidious said.

"Master, subjects of this age rarely survive the slave conditioning procedure." The surgical droid warns.

"I'm afraid the risk is necessary. The natural talent these children possess is too great to be wasted by the Jedi. I foresee an army of Force-talented spies in my service, trained in the dark side to peer into every corner of the galaxy from afar, and my enemies would be helpless against such a vision. If the surgery fails, I will have lost nothing." Sidious assures without a care of what harm may come to the babies.


At a space station hidden among some crater, Bane led Obi-Wan and Mace inside.

"I do not sense any children nearby." Obi-Wan said.

"Neither do I." Mace said as Bane led them into a large room.

"Where are you keeping the children?" Obi-Wan asks.

"The children are safe. But first, here is your precious holocron." Bane said pointing across the room to it. "Let me get it for you."

Bane was about to step forward and grab it but Mace stops him.

"No more tricks." Mace said going to get it himself.

But one step off and the alarm system went off.

"Blast!" Mace said realizing they were tricked.

"You certainly stepped in it this time." Obi-Wan said as automatic blasters turned on and fired at them.

Activating their lightsabers, the two Jedi Masters deflected the fire giving Bane the opening he needed.

Running to the wall he pushed against it revealing a secret escape route.

"So long Jedi!" He said before escaping through an escape pod.

"Now what do we do?" Mace asks as Obi-Wan looked across for the Holocron.

It wasn't the children but it was something.


On their way back to the Hangar, Anakin stopped at a fork in the path.

"Ahsoka can you meet us at the Hanger?" Anakin asks. "Shun I want to talk to you." Anakin said leading him to a small room.

Knowing this was coming Shun took a deep breath before preparing himself.

"Yeah?" Shun asks following him inside.

"Honestly the more I think about what you said the more I can't stop thinking about her." Anakin said.

"Her?" Shun asks.

"My mom." Anakin sighs. "I try not to think about her but ever since we've been dealing with this mess I keep seeing her and the more I realize…I don't want to forget her." Anakin said.

"What was she like?" Shun asks.

"She was the best. We didn't have much back on Tatooine but we had each other. When Obi-Wan and his master came to get me off that planet leaving my mother was the hardest thing I ever did. But my mom knew how much I wanted this and wanted me to have a better life. As I was leaving she told me to be brave and don't look back. Because she knew if I did I would have run back into her arms and never left." Anakin said as a tear ran down his eyes. "I miss her so much and so many times I wished I could have gone back. Helped her, freed her, see her, but I couldn't."

"A Jedi can't form attachments." Shun said quoting the rule.

"But I hate it so much. I don't want to live my life like that." Anakin said.

"Neither do I. That's why I made the Gray Order." Shun said.

Turning to him, Anakin had a thought.

"This bending thing you do. If I could do it could it make me stronger?" Anakin asks.

Little did they know something was watching them from the ceiling.

"Oh yeah but I should warn you if you want it you'll have to change your views on the Jedi on everything. As long as you stay true to who you are it won't corrupt you. You'll need the people in your life more than ever." Shun nods.

"Can…Can you show me?" Anakin asks.

"If do this there's no going back." Shun warns.

"Don't try and scare me." Anakin said.

Taking a deep breath, Shun turned to him.

"Stay still. I've only done this once." Shun warns.

Putting a hand on his forehead and to his chest, Shun closed his eyes before opening them revealing he had entered the Avatar State.

Using the same process, he did on Ahsoka a bright light engulfs Anakin causing his eyes to glow.

When it died down Shun let go causing Anakin to pant.

"What the heck was that?" Anakin asks.

"Welcome to the Gray Anakin." Shun declares.

Confused Anakin looked at his hand and wondered what was going to happen when seconds later a small fireball appeared in his hand.

"Whoa." Anakin said in disbelief as the flames disappeared. "You're teaching how to do this later."

"Yes Master." Shun smirks.


Making their way back to the hangar, the three of them were examining Bane's ship once more for clues.

"Well, the piloting systems are clean." Anakin said as Shun climbs out from the back.

"Nothing in the Backup data. What about the landing gear?" Shun asks as Ahsoka slides out from under.

"Double checked. Nothing. I have the feeling Master Windu and Obi-Wan could have used our help." Ahsoka said.

"Yeah this stinks." Shun said.

"Look, I don't like being out of the action either, but somebody's got to do this job." Anakin said.

"And as always that's us." Ahsoka mutters when her hand rubs against the ship and ash got on her fingers. "Bane picked up a lot of volcanic ash on his travels."

Beeping loudly R2 and BD said they found something.

"What you got fellas?" Shun asks showing them a map of planets.

"Looks like Bane erased his navigation records, but not his fuel computer." Anakin realized.

"So?" Ahsoka asks wondering what that meant.

"Well, if we cross the list of planets we know he visited with the distance he traveled..." Anakin hints.

"We may be able to figure out where he went!" Shun smiles. "That is awesome."

"It's an old Jedi trick we use to track down smugglers." Anakin said.

"I'll have to remember that one." Shun said.

"Okay, let's see, Glee Anselm, Rodia, Mustafar, Naboo..." Anakin lists.

"Wait Mustafar? I don't remember a kid coming from there." Shun points out.

"It's a mining world. Very remote. Probably stopped there to refuel." Anakin assumes.

"That explains the ash. But it was six systems out of his way. Maybe he met up with whoever he's working for. It's worth a look, isn't it?" Ahsoka suggests.

"I'm fine with that." Shun said.

"Anything to get out of this hangar." Anakin agrees.


After flying out on the Twilight the three of them approached the lava world.

"Coming up on Mustafar." Ahsoka said.

"Whoa. Think I made the right call with you." Shun hints.

"What are you talking about?" Ahsoka asks.

"Nothing to worry about. R2 lower us down." Anakin orders.

Meanwhile, at the base, the surgery was about to begin when a droid came in.

"Master, a starship is approaching. It is not the bounty hunter." It said.

"This was unexpected." Sidious said before turning to the droids. "Evacuate the children to my secondary facility. I'm afraid this installation is lost. We must destroy all the evidence. Turn off the gravity supports and let the building sink into the lava."

"I beg your pardon sir?" The droid asks.

"Just do as I say!" Sidious orders.

On the loading dock, Twilight lands outside and the three of them walk out unaware of what was about to happen.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" Ahsoka asks.

"We're gonna find out." Anakin said.

"Hang on." Shun said.

Raising his foot, he removes the metal plating and uses his Seismic sense to feel inside. After a few seconds he gasped. "They're in there!"

Hearing this the three of them headed to the door which R2 got to work on.

"Which bending allows you to do that?" Ahsoka asks.

"Earthbending. Pretty cool huh?" Shun smirks.

"Less bragging more running. Which way?" Anakin asks as Shun took the door opened.

"I sense something, Master. And I don't like it." Ahsoka said as he and Ahsoka felt a strange tingle.

"What is this?" Shun asks.

"It's the Dark Side. This is the right place." Anakin assures as they made their way in when the sound of baby cries echoed down the hall.

"Did you hear that?" Ahsoka gasps.

"This way." Shun said leading them in.

Running into the room, they saw empty cradles.

"We're too late." Ahsoka assumes.

"No. I can still sense them." Anakin said as they heard crying.

Activating the lightsabers they saw three droids attack with surgical tools while using the babies as shields.

"Be careful of the younglings!" Anakin calls out deactivating his lightsaber.

"I know. I know." Ahsoka said going on the defensive.

Suddenly the computer system alarms went off and the ground under them began to break.

Since Shun's droid had no baby, he activated his metal bracelets. Bending them into blades, Shun dodges the attack and slashes it in half.

"Guys use your bending! Aim for the droid's feet!" Shun yells.

Seeing where he was going, Ahsoka blasts her droid with air sending it flying back towards the edge.

Using the Force, she caught the baby while the droid plummeted into the lava.

"A little help!" Anakin calls out having difficulty with his.

"Anakin you gotta focus! Do exactly what I say. Take a deep breath inhale. And then you're gonna let it all out. One powerful strike but you gotta emotion into it. Be aggressive!" Shun calls out.

Hearing this Anakin looks at the droid and takes a deep breath. He needed to put emotion into it and right now only one thing came to mind.

"Ani." Shmi's voice echoed in his mind.

As a serious expression appeared on his face Anakin took a deep breath and with a powerful punch of his fist and flames hit the droid's legs causing it to fall forward.

Lunging Shun grabs Wee Dunn before he fell. "Gotcha little fella.

"Master you're firebending?" Ahsoka gasps.

"You're not the only one Shun gave it to! Now come on!" Using this chance they sprinted through the hall towards the Twilight.

As the entire facility was sinking down into the lava the two Padawans held the babies cloes as Anakin took the controls.

Flying off into the air they narrowly avoided going down into the lava.

"Whoo that was close." Shun said.

"So you asked Shun to be a Gray member too huh?" Ahsoka asks.

"Well I'll admit when he told me I was curious but when I did let out that attack it was weird, but it felt right. Like I was able to let out all those past emotions about my mom." Anakin said.

"Firebending is very explosive, but watch what you do it. It's also very dangerous in the wrong hands." Shun said.

"Noted." Anakin said.

"In meantime I know a certain mother who will be happy to see you again." Shun said looking at Wee Dunn.

"Uh Shun I think the Jedi Council wants us to bring those kids to them." Anakin points out.

"What? But after everything these kids have gone through?" Shun asks in disbelief.

"Master don't you think that's a little harsh?" Ahsoka asks.

"Council's orders Ahsoka. We have to follow." Anakin said making Shun tighten his fist. "But…too bad our friend here doesn't play by this rule." Anakin hints.

Smiling Shun knew what he meant.


Returning to Coruscant we see Anakin and Ahsoka in front of the council.

"The base was completely destroyed, Master. And so was any clue who's behind this." Anakin explains.

"Hmm. Most unfortunate this is." Yoda frowns.

"We still have Bane." Anakin points out but all of them shared the same looking making Ahsoka sigh.

"He got away again?" Ahsoka asks.

"The important thing is that the children are safe and we have recovered the holocron." Obi-Wan said.

"The list is intact, and there is no evidence it was copied." Mace adds.

"Still, the future of all Jedi uncertain is. Move forward cautiously we must." Yoda said.

"Hey where's Shun? He should be here." Obi-Wan asks.

"Oh uh he had to do something first." Anakin said.

"Yeah he'll be back soon." Ahsoka said.

However, before the Council could respond a strange message was beamed in.

"What is this?" Obi-Wan asks.

"It's an anonymous video, no sender." Mace said when the footage played revealing Anakin kneeling before Shun as he was given his bending.

"As long as you stay true to who you are it won't corrupt you. You'll need the people in your life more than ever." Shun promises. "Welcome to the Gray."

Eyes widening in fear, Anakin and Ahsoka look at each other.

"What is this?" Mace asks making them both gulp in fear of what they would do to Shun.


Meanwhile, on Rodia, Shun was making his way to the house where a grieving mother was sobbing.

"Excuse me ma'am I have something that belongs to you." Shun said getting her attention.

Turning to him, she gasps seeing her baby boy safe and sound.

"My baby." She smiles getting up and running over.

"Thought you two deserved a proper reunion." Shun said handing Wee Dunn to her.

"Oh my little boy. My sweet boy." She smiles hugging her baby close and Wee Dunn smiles happy to see her too.

As tears of joy ran down her eyes, Shun couldn't help but smile at the family reunion.

"It was all worth it just to see your face one more time." She said as Wee Dunn patting coos.

Seeing this Shun realized that there was no way he could bring the little guy back after bringing them back to together.

"You know what? Why don't you hold onto him for a little longer?" Shun suggests surprising her. "You said you had a little longer before he was supposed to come to the Order. So I think you're allowed to keep him."

"But won't the Council be mad at you for this?" She asks but Shun just shrugs.

"They're never not mad at me. Besides after what's been happening you deserve more time together." Shun said.

"I'll never forget your kindness Jedi." She said giving him a hug in gratitude.

"Hey." Turning to Wee Dunn, Shun pats his head. "No matter what don't forget how much your mother loves and you love her."

Giggling Wee Dunn nods understanding him.

"Take care you two. I don't know when they'll be back so you better make it count." Shun said turning to the door.

"Wait." The mother said getting his attention.

Walking over she puts a hand on his shoulder.

"Can I count on you to help be my link to my child? When they take him away I want to know someone can tell me how is. I want to still be a part of his life." She asks.

"You have my word as a Jedi and as the Avatar." Shun nods his head causing her to smile widely.

Seeing this Shun got a warm feeling inside. Every part of him was saying he made the right choice.


Arriving back on Coruscant, Shun made his way back to his room still with that warm feeling inside.

Beeping BD asked Shun if he made the right call.

"I do little buddy. For the first time in a while I feel like I did something right." Shun smiles.

However, the second he opened the door to the temple he was met with a half a dozen yellow lightsabers pointed at him.

"What in the?" Before Shun could even react two grabbed him from behind and forced him to the ground. "Hey! What the hell are you guys doing?! Let me go!" Shun snaps as they cuffed him.

Beeping loudly, BD jumped at them to try and take them off but one just whacks BD to the ground.

"BD!" Shun gasps when he saw figures approach him.

Looking up he saw Mace, Yoda, Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka approach him.

"What's going on? What the hell is this?" Shun asks.

"Shun Namikaze you are under arrest." Mace declares.

"What? You're arresting me?! For what?" Shun asks.

Using the Force, Master Yoda pulls Shun's Gray Order necklace out from under his shirt.

"We know." Mace said showing him the hologram message they got.

"Shun where's the youngling?" Anakin asks.

"I uh...I gave him back to his mother." Shun admits.

"Oh boy." Ahsoka gulps seeing he just added fuel to the fire.

"So not only are you guilty of this but you disobeyed the council? We told you to bring the child back to us." Mace said.

"You were originally gonna wait a little longer anyway what's the problem?" Shun asks.

"The problem Padawan is you." Mace said.

"Excuse me?" Shun asks.

"You place your own feelings above everything. Duty, Obligation, Tradition it all means nothing to you." Mace scolds.

"It means everything to me. I trust my heart and I follow my Avatar Duty." Shun defends.

"You know I was raised on these beliefs. We all were. I know what it takes to be a Jedi. You don't. You look at everything we do. Everything we spent our lives on and you disobey us every time you see or hear something you don't like. Well, the universe doesn't revolve around you." Mace said.

"No it doesn't, but the fact that you're so much older than me and you think you have to be this way to get things done is actually sad." Shun said.

"You've done this to yourself and now you will stand trial for your choices." Mace declares as the Temple Guards grabbed him. "Take him away."

"Hey watch it!" Shun said as they forced him down the halls towards the Holding Cells.

As Ahsoka picked up BD, she, Anakin, Obi-Wan and even Master Yoda could only look in sadness and horror as the young Avatar was arrested.

"What does this mean for the future?" Yoda asks unsure what the results of this will be.
