Ahsoka P.O.V.

"Wow, this is place is amazing." Danny said as we entered the temple.
"I must agree. These temples can tell fascinating stories." I agreed.
"Apart from the-"
"Whoa!" a startled yelp from Danny cut me off. I turned to see Danny standing in a defensive position, facing a skeleton, breathing heavily with his hand over his heart.
"That's somewhat disturbing." he said as he calmed down. I chuckled at his rambling.
"Come on, the trial area is just up ahead." I told him and continued walking, Danny close behind me.

"And here we are." I said as we reached the end of the corridor. We saw an open doorway.
"This is where we part ways." I told him. He looked at me with wide eyes.
"I have to go alone?" he asked, a little fearful. I nodded in response.
"This is your trial, not mine. You have to face it yourself." I told him and held out my hand.
"No weapons." I elaborated when he looked at me with confusion. He sighed and handed me his blaster.
"What exactly does my trial entail?" he asked as he approached the door.
"I don't know; it's different for everyone. The only thing that's certain is that you'll be facing your worst fears." I explained. He shuddered a bit.
"Brilliant." He muttered.
"What about you?" he asked. I pointed to one of the dead bodies.
"They are Jedi Masters who brought their apprentices here. Said apprentices never returned." I answered. He facepalmed.
"So if I fail, you die here?" He asked. I nodded, earning a heavy sigh from him.

"I have complete faith in you, Danny. I know you can make it." I told him. He took a deep breath and nodded at me.
"Thank you Master." He said. I smiled at him slightly as he went through the door.
"Remember, trust the force to guide you!" I called over the shaking of the door closing.
"I understand!" He called back as the door completely closed.
"Good luck." I whispered as I kneeled and started to meditate.

Danny P.O.V.

"OK, this isn't creepy at all." I quipped as I walked through the tunnels. They were surprisingly dark. I kept walking until I came to a 4-way crossroad.
"Well that's just brilliant." I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes. I randomly went with the 2nd entrance and kept walking. It wasn't long before I found myself in a room similar to the one Ahsoka was waiting back in.
"Wait a minute, this IS the room Ahsoka is in." I said out loud as I noticed a dead body. It had the same clothes and was in the same position as the one I saw before.
"Danny…" I heard Ahsoka's voice mutter. I turned to her direction and my eyes widened in horror at what I saw; Ahsoka was standing, facing my direction, with 2 red lightsaber blades sticking out of her chest.
"Ahsoka!" I screamed in terror. A familiar maniacal laughter came from behind her. The blades disappeared and Ahsoka fell to the ground, revealing my worst fear.

"Hello Danny." Dan said with a sick grin. His usually red eyes were now a dark orange.
"How are you here? I killed you!" I yelled in anger and grief. Dan just let out another of his dark chuckles.
"As long as you exist, so do I." he said. He ignited his 2 red lightsabers and stalked towards me. I shook my head desperately and reached out for Ahsoka's lightsabers. They flew into my hands and I ignited them.
"You have taken far too much from me." I growled and lunged at him with both blades. He easily blocked my attack.
"You will become me Danny, it is your fate." He said and pushed me back… with the force? Of course, he's me! It's obvious he would be force-sensitive here.
"I can't become you anymore Dan!" I yelled at him and got back into battle stance.
"My 2 halves have merged, it's impossible to become you!" I yelled as I blocked a strike from him.
"Don't be too sure." He said with a smirk as we exchanged more blows.
"With the power of the dark side, you could easily become me!" He explained with a grin.
"I won't let that happen!" I yelled and slashed at him. He just blocked me and sliced both of the blades I was using.
"NO!" I yelled. My last link to Ahsoka was gone.

"If you won't become me, you will die." Dan growled and raised his blade.
"Young one…" I heard a deep, muffled voice say. I didn't pay too much attention; I was too busy dodging Dan's strikes.
"Listen to us Boy." Another voice hissed. I felt my ghost sense go off.
"A ghost? Here? No, two!" I thought I realisation. I looked at Dan and saw 2 ghostly figures standing behind him. Dan didn't seem to notice. One was an old human man, with short grey hair and a full beard, while the other was an alien, a Kel Dor, I think, and he had a black mask covering his mouth.
"Let us help you." The alien said calmly.
"Use our weapons and destroy your enemy." The other added. They each tossed a lightsaber in my direction, and reached out with the force to grab them. They shot into my hands and ignited them. The alien's lightsaber was blue, the human's was red.
"Where did you get those?" Dan hissed.
"You're not the only ghost here." I said and lunged at him. I focussed on the force, I trusted that all of this was for a good reason, and delivered a powerful swing to dan's arms. I sliced through his lightsabers, destroying them. He looked at me with wide eyes.
"I'm not afraid of you anymore, Dan. I don't why I was, I can't become you, I know that for a fact now. Begone!" I yelled at him. He disappeared in a puff of green smoke. I fell to my knees in exhaustion, and felt the 2 ghosts come towards me.

"He was never here, was he?" I asked, not looking up to the ghosts.
"Correct, Young one. That was a projection that the force created to test you." The alien said.
"And I believe you passed that test." The human said. I got up and looked at them.
"These are yours." I said, giving them their blades back. They took their blades and clipped them to their belts.
"Come, walk with us Boy. We have much to discuss." The human said. He had an English accent, or whatever this universe calls it.
"My name is Daniel. You can call me Danny." I said with a slight frown as I followed them.
"I am Jedi Master Plo Koon." The alien introduced himself.
"And I am Darth Tyranus, lord of the Sith. You may call me Dooku." The human introduced. I nodded, trying not to laugh at the innuendo in his name.

"Why did you help me?" I asked them, more the Sith than the Jedi.
"The Force wants you to stay alive, so to speak, so we made sure you did not die." Master Plo answered.
"Then I didn't pass, you helped me." I said sadly.
"Incorrect Boy. We made sure you survived. Succeeding or failing was on you." Dooku explain. I nodded in understanding.
"Why you guys though? Of all the people who have died and merged with the Force, it sent you 2 specifically. Why is that?" I asked them.
"I was the Jedi who brought your Master to the Jedi Order." Master Plo explained. My eyes widened slightly at that.
"And I was betrayed by my Master, who ordered his current apprentice to kill me. You know the sting of betrayal as I do." Dooku continued. I nodded in understanding.
"We are here to give you your final test in this temple." Master Plo said.
"Master Plo Koon represents the Light Side, I represent the Dark." Dooku added. I nodded in understanding.

"Tell us, why do you wish to learn our ways?" Plo asked.
"What purpose does it serve?" Dooku asked.
"Well, I can gain more power. Since coming here, I lost most of my ghost powers." I started. They already knew about me being half-ghost. They're ghosts themselves after all.
"So this is merely a substitution?" Plo asked with hint of disapproval.
"A method of strengthening yourself to satiate your hunger for power?" Dooku asked with a slight smirk. I shook my head vigorously.
"NO! Not at all! I just… Before I came here, I lost everything that I held close; I lost my purpose! If I can become strong enough, I can help people again! And protect those closest to me and start a new life here!" I responded with a lot of emotion.
"I want to build a life in this universe, be a part of it! I want to travel the galaxy, learn new things, make friends, find love again and have a family. And I will protect them with everything I have!" I exclaimed with my eyes shut. I slowly opened them to see the 2 ghosts giving me approving looks. Well, I think Master Plo was giving me an approving look anyway, it's hard to tell with that mask.

"You have passed our test Young one." Master Plo said and held out his hand in a fist.
"Indeed." Dooku agreed and did the same. They opened their fists at the same time and a small crystal floated from each of their hands and towards me. As they got close, I cupped the 2 crystals in my gloved hands and looked at them with wonder.
"One to show the darkness." Dooku said.
"And one to show the light." Master Plo concluded.
"Go now, Daniel Eidolon." Dooku started.
"Use what you have learnt here today to fulfil your destiny." Master Plo added.
"You'll never be a Jedi." He added.
"Nor a Sith." Dooku said.
"But you may yet be a skilled warrior, walking a razor's edge between the two, in perfect balance." He concluded. I nodded and bowed in respect.
"Thank you Master Plo, Lord Tyranus." I said. They nodded and disappeared. I looked at the strange crystals with a smile. I could feel them resonating with the force. One had a darker glow than the other. I pocketed them in a pouch on my belt and headed back to Ahsoka.

As I approached the doorway through which I came in, the stone door that closed it lowered, showing Ahsoka, still meditating.
"Hey." I said with a bright smile. She looked up at me and smiled just as brightly.
"How did it go?" She asked as she stood up.
"Let's just say I feel like a massive weight of fear has been lifted off of my shoulders." I said with a grin, making her chuckle.
"One of those tests huh?" She asked. I nodded.
"You don't know the half of it." I said and got those strange crystals from my pouch.
"I was given these." I said and showed her. Ahsoka gasped shock.
"What is it? Is it bad?" I asked, a little scared. She quickly shook her head.
"Not at all, it's amazing! Just surprising." Ahsoka said.
"What are they?" I asked her, tilting my head in confusion.
"They're Kyber Crystals!" Ahsoka exclaimed with a massive smile. I just looked at her with more confusion.
"Lightsaber Crystals." She elaborated with a slight chuckle. My jaw dropped to the ground at her elaboration.

"I must say, I did not see this coming. Getting one Kyber Crystal is amazing in itself, but 2? Wow." Ahsoka said as we boared our ship and took off into hyperspace.
"So these things power lightsabers, but where do I the actual devices?" I asked. Ahsoka smirked brought me to the 'living room' of the ship where she opened a drawer. She pulled out a box and opened it, revealing a surplus of strange mechanical parts.
"These are the parts needed for building lightsabers." She explained. My eyes widened at her as she placed the box in my hands.
"It's up to you to determine the right parts for your blade." She said. I nodded and took the box to my room. After going through the details of building a lightsaber with Ahsoka, I sat on the ground in my room, in meditative position, with all the parts in that box scattered before me.

"Ok Danny, you can do this." I muttered to myself and held my hand out to the parts. I took a deep breath and focussed. I felt something, the Force, calling out to me through one of the parts. I averted my eyes towards said part and brought it to my hands.
"Ok, one down, 50 to go." I muttered as I placed the part next to me. This cycle continued for a few hours. With each piece I collected, it got harder and harder to find the right ones. I managed, eventually though.
"Well, phase 1, collect the parts, done!" I said to myself as I packed the unused parts back in the box. I separated the parts into 2 groups, one for each lightsaber, and placed each crystal with one of the piles.

I decided to start with the crystal Master Plo gave me, the one that shows the light. I reached out with the force and took a hold of all the pieces until they were floating in front of me. I took a deep breath, and let myself go. Slowly, one by one, the parts came together. First, the crystal chamber surround the actual crystal, then came the outer shell of the chamber, followed by the pommel twisting around the bottom, and then the emitter twisting at the top. Finally, a long leather strip came and wrapped around the body, leaving diamond shaped spaces open down the body. Slowly, one by one, the small screw-like pieces clipped into the device, securing the parts in their places. When I was done, it looked like a katana hilt. I brought it over to my hand, but resisted the urge to ignite it. I figured Ahsoka would want to see it first. I did the same thing with the other crystal and parts, and the result was identical, but bigger. I noticed that Ahsoka's lightsabers were identical, but different only in size. Maybe mine have the same thing because she's my Master. I shrugged and took the weapons to Ahsoka.

"Finished." I told her when I found her sitting on the couch, reading on old holo-document. She looked up at me and grinned.
"Let's see what they look like." She said and deactivated her holo-generator. I handed the blades to her and she inspected them.
"Not like anything I've ever seen." She commented.
"Yeah, I added the leather strapping to make them look like Katana hilts; swords that warriors of the medieval times used in my universe." I explained. Ahsoka smiled and nodded in approval before handing the weapons back.
"Let's see how they work." She said. I nodded eagerly and activated the smaller one, with the light side crystal, revealing a bright turquoise blade. It kind of reminded me of Jazz's eyes. I smiled at it. I activated the bigger, dark side, blade and gasped. It was a bright amethyst, just like the eyes of my first love.
"Sam." I muttered with a small, yet sad smile as I gazed at the blade.
"Is something wrong Danny?" Ahsoka asked. I snapped out of my daze and noticed I was crying.

"Oh, uh, no. Sorry." I said and wiped the tears away. Ahsoka just crossed her arms and gave a me hard look. I sighed, there was no way I was getting out of this one.
"The colours." I mumbled.
"What about them? Are they bad?" she asked. I shook my head vigorously.
"No! They just remind me of people I lost." I said as I held up the turquoise blade.
"My sister had bright turquoise eyes." I said sadly. Ahsoka's eyes widened; she knew how I lost my loved ones. Well, most of them. 2 still live, but they're not loved ones anymore.
"And this one…" I mumbled as I held up the amethyst blade.
"It's the same colour as my first love's eyes." I muttered as I sheathed the blades. Ahsoka gave me a sympathetic look and engulfed me in a gentle hug.
"I'm sorry Danny. That must be hard." She whispered.
"It is." I sobbed as I hugged her back. She pressed my head into her shoulder, and I just let the tears flow.
"I'm here for you." She whispered soothingly as my sobs slowly died down.
"Thank you, Ahsoka." I muttered. I don't know how, or when, but I fell asleep in her arms, feeling like I had a family again. it was uncanny how similar Ahsoka could be to Jazz sometimes.

A/N: And Danny has his own lightsabers! Look at the cover pic for a visual; they're identical, but the turquoise one is slightly smaller than the amethyst one. The blades themselves are equal in length though.

Again, this is NOT a Danny x Ahsoka fic. Ahsoka is going to become like a big sister to Danny. She's about twice his age, so too young for a mother figure, unless she had a child at 16 or 17, but I digress. Big sister figure works better anyway.
