Chapter 19
(Tristakine) Plo Koon POV
The next day Plo Koon and Ahsoka went into town to take a look at his ship. At first he doubted that this young girl could repair his ship but his mind changed when she determined what was wrong with it within the first five minutes of examining it.
"Your engine is leaking fuel." She stated. "It's started to run into the pipes and soil everything."
Plo Koon was amazed and somewhat suspicious. "How can you know? We aren't even in the engine room."
Ahsoka walked over to the corner of the room and skimmed her hand over the wall. "The walls are discolored. That's a sign of the leak." She turned back to the Jedi. "Where's your engine room?"
He led her down the hallways and into the engine room. Once she was in there Ahsoka walked around and observed everything. After a few laps around the room she turned back to Plo Koon. "It's a beautiful ship. The best I've ever seen."
"Thank you." Plo Koon feared that Ahsoka would see right through his lie. It was too good of a ship to belong to just a traveler. It was too clean and fixed for that.
Ahsoka looked over everything one more time. "It should be a fairly simple fix. I'll patch up the engine and let it air out for a day. In the meantime I can look around and see if anything else needs fixing up too."
Plo Koon wasn't a mechanic. He understood nothing about his ship except the basics on how to steal a speeder and fix a loose wire. "That's great news. Thank you. Do you think you could look at the hyper drive as well?"
"Of course. In the meantime, I'll run down to town and get some parts." She turned back to Plo Koon looking as though she just came out of a daze. "Would you like to join? I could show you around town. There's not much to see, but how often are you on Shili anyway?"
The Jedi Master wasn't going to give up any time getting to know this young girl. He had to know as much about her as he could to report to the Council. "Yes, I'd very much like that."
(Tristakine) Ahsoka POV
It's not very often Ahsoka gets to be a tour guide. She took advantage of the opportunity when she had it and told Mr. Plo everything she knew about Shili. In exchange he told her some more of his stories of being off world.
At that moment in the walk Mr. Plo was finishing a story of when he was on Geonosis. "Except afterwards I was in a hospital for two weeks for poisoning and no one could figure out where I got it from."
"Were you in contact with any strange types of rocks? They may have been moist but with a rigid outer shell."
The man stopped and pondered for a moment. "Actually yes. I was trapped in a cave there when the opening caved in on me and I remember those rocks being all around." He was going to say more but he was interrupted.
"They grow poison on the tops of them. You probably got it from there." Ahsoka kept walking forcing Plo Koon to follow.
"How can you know that?"
"I read it in a book once."
"Once?"
Ahsoka was reminded why that would seem strange to a normal person. "I have a photographic memory."
Mr. Plo's eyes widened at this. "What do you like to read?"
Ahsoka didn't have to think about it. "Well I only get to do it in my free time, which isn't often, but anything really. I actually like reading educational books. My favorites are science and space." She froze and looked at the man next to her. "Wait here."
She gave a quick sprint and went over to a patch of grass nearby. There she rummaged through the greenery and found what she was looking for. When she got back to Mr. Plo he looked confused. "A rock?"
"Yes. A rock. A rock that you can only find in this hemisphere of this part of this planet in this galaxy in this universe. There is so much possibility in all of space. It's absolutely amazing." Ahsoka sighed off to the side and mumbled, "It's something I'll never get to see."
(Tristakine) Plo Koon POV
Plo Koon was convinced. He would take this girl to Coruscant. She would become a Jedi. She had everything needed to become a Jedi. She was smart, one with the force, and even calm minded. She was perfect. She would make an amazing Jedi.
He just needed to convince The Council to say yes.
A few hours later, when Ahsoka was working on the ship, Plo Koon decided to start up his hologram com and have the long overdue talk with the council. The Master Jedi locked himself in the cockpit of the ship and contacted The Order.
A life-size hologram formed around him. Plo Koon could see Master Yoda and Master Windu sitting in the chairs around him.
"Hello Master Windu. Master Yoda." Plo Koon greeted sitting down in his own chair.
Mace Windu was the first to respond. "Hello Master Plo. How is Shili?"
Plo Koon sighed, "That's actually what I'm contacting you to talk about."
Master Yoda twisted his head in curiosity. "Contact us, what for did you?"
Master Plo wondered how he was going to phrase his words. He had to speak just right to get Ahsoka a chance. He had to get them to accept her.
(Tristakine) Ahsoka POV
What the hell was going on? Why was everyone calling each other Master? Who were these hologram people?
She listened from the gap in the door as Mr. Plo-Master Plo? Plo Koon started speaking again.
"Masters, I found a girl. She's young, just not as young as the Order would care for."
"Plo-" Mace Windu started but he was interrupted.
Plo Koon wasn't going to be turned down this easy. "She uses the force at a level I've only seen a Jedi Knight use. I think my com might have recorded what I saw…" He began fumbling with his wrist and what looked like a metal device attached to it.
Ahsoka was confused out of her mind. What was going on? What was the force? Her thoughts were once again interrupted when another hologram appeared out of Mr. Plo's 'com.'
She had to watch for a second before she realized- it was her. The hologram was of her from yesterday when she was fixing the roof. It was of when she fell off the roof. Ahsoka watched as the events from the day before repeated. She watched as she fell off the roof and froze above the ground, floating in midair. The entire thing.
Ahsoka had to withhold a gasp that pushed against the back of her lips. Mr. Plo had seen this? He'd seen her using the gift?
When it was over Master Yoda spoke, "Strong, she is."
Mr. Plo was silent and waited for the verdict to be determined.
"Plo you know the rules," Master Windu stated.
Master Yoda seemed to have other ideas. "Starting, a war is. As many Jedi as we can muster up, we will need." Ahsoka froze the minute he said war. "Bring her to us, you will. May have to be made, an exception will."
Master Windu seemed shocked at first but then regained his composure. He nodded, not fully accepting his fellow Jedi's decision but going along with it.
Plo Koon had a small smile slipping past his lips. "I will. Thank you Masters." The hologram turned off.
Mr. Plo got up and started to exit the room. Ahsoka tried to back up and get away before he could see her but it was a failed attempt. As soon as he turned around he saw her shocked face and her mouth gaping open.
"Ahsoka…" He said half in surprise and half in apology.
She started to back up in an attempt to get away. 'Bring her to us.' The words echoed in her mind. They were going to take her.
"Please, I can explain," Mr. Plo started. Ahsoka only backed up more at his words.
She didn't say anything. She just turned around and prepared to run. Just when her feet were going to start to sprint a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
(Tristakine) Plo Koon POV
Plo Koon knew he made a mistake the minute he grabbed Ahsoka's arm. That didn't stop him from pulling her back though. He just wanted to explain. He just wanted to tell her the truth.
Yet when he saw the fear in her eyes he withdrew his hand. He realized what he'd done. He'd done the worst thing he could've done. Ahsoka was afraid he would hit her when he grabbed her arm.
His hands went to his sides automatically and he backed up. "Please, let me explain."
He didn't know how, but she was able to say yes and give him another chance. Plo Koon took Ahsoka back into the room and they sat down. She was silent the entire time.
Plo Koon didn't know what to say first so he took out his lightsaber. "I'm what people call a Jedi. We serve to righteousness and peace in the universe. Those holograms were other Jedi and I was asking them if I could bring you back with me to Coruscant to train you."
"Why?" Her voice was small in the quiet room.
"What you did yesterday when you fell off the roof but didn't hit the ground, that's the force. It's strong in you. Stronger than it should be at your age. The Jedi Order usually only accepts young children, but I feel like your intelligence and strength make up for your late age. The force doesn't usually develop on its own. Somehow it's different for you. You developed it on your own."
Ahsoka didn't say anything. She couldn't think of anything to say.
"I want you to come back to Coruscant with me. I want to train you to become a Jedi."
At this Ahsoka spoke. "Okay, um-whoa." She stuttered trying to get her real words out. Finally she said, "I can't go with you."
"I have a home here. I have Chance and my father. I have the house. I can't just leave."
"Ahsoka I understand that this is hard, but you can have so much more in life. You can travel the universe. Your life can be the adventure that you dream about." Plo Koon calmed his voice and regained his composure. "I'm leaving tomorrow at noon. If you want to go with me, meet me here before then."
A/N- Welcome to my authors note which is mostly me just talking to myself. Leslie and Ben just got engaged and I can't even focus. My life is complete now.
I started watching Arrow and its pretty legit. I like it. I think that Laurel's dad needs to chill out though. Since I missed it, I must go watch yesterday's Agents of Shield now. -Saraphine
