YO! So, I guess you liked the first chapter if you are reading this one. With this scene, I wanted to elaborate the roles of the Council Members, not just focus on Windu, Yoda, and Kenobi. Rest assured, they will speak, but other council members will speak too.
It was a gray, somber day on Coruscant. Rain pattered down through the city streets, drenching the Coruscanti who were not properly attired. It was odd to have a rainstorm this early in the year, and Coruscant was sunny on most days, but the gray anomaly of the sky had not helped the moods of twelve particular sentient beings.
Ahsoka stood in the middle of a ring. Around her were the stern faces of the Jedi Council. Either Master Mundi or Master Gallia had spilled the beans about the incident on Mygeeto.
The situation might not have seemed so grim, except that this was not the first time Ahsoka had stood before the Council to be reprimanded.
And this time, her master was not with her.
"So, once again we find ourselves in this position Padawan." Mace Windu looked more weary than angry. "Only this time, we know a reprimand and a few days here in the Temple will not stop this from happening again."
"An alternative course of action, we need."
Hearing that you need correction from Master Yoda really makes you feel low.
Ahsoka glanced at the faces of the Council, searching for a trace of sympathy.
She looked at Master Ti. Surely a member of her own species would understand. She opened her mouth to speak, but the violet eyes she was looking into narrowed.
"Do not speak Ahsoka. I felt that you deserved a second chance the first time you were in here, but not a second time."
Nope.
Oppo Rancisis pointed a long finger in her direction. "I had expected a Padawan of your caliber to be more responsible. You make me wonder whether you are worthy to carry a lightsaber."
"Do not be so harsh Master Rancisis," Plo Koon said. "While the Padawan is reckless at times, such an occasion as this does not merit banishment from the Order."
Ahsoka managed a smile. Good ol' Plo was…
"But I still feel that she is to be punished."
… nevermind.
"But how do we punish her?" Master Mundi was present only in a hologram, yet she could feel his imposing presence. "We have already tried a week of Temple duties…."
"But that punishment did not go as planned," Even Piell pointed out. "If anything, it gave her more action than was available on Felucia."
Obi-Wan stroked his holographic beard. He was presently looking into a matter on Toydaria. "Perhaps another period in the Temple would do her good. I know Master Sinube would be happy to supervise her."
"We do not wish to reward her behavior with a visit to a friend," said Coleman Kcaj. "While a noble suggestion Master Kenobi, I feel that it is not appropriate for the situation."
"Then what are we to do with her?" Shaak Ti huffed. "We cannot just debate."
"Perhaps a few days confined to her chambers?"
"We do not torture, nor do we resort to more pedestrian or parental measures with our pupils, Master Gallia," Obi-Wan reprimanded
"What are you talking about Master Kenobi? I chained Nadhar to the wall all the time," Master Fisto piped up.
It seemed even the rain had stopped pattering on the windows. Dead silence fell on the Council. All heads swiveled in slow unison to give Kit Fisto the crazy stare.
He shrank back into his chair. "Just kidding."
"Perhaps a few days on Kamino helping the Prime Minister will straighten her out?" Saesee Tiin appeared to have pulled that idea from nowhere, but it seemed to be effective, because Ahsoka shivered from top to bottom at the thought.
"A fate worse than death," Kit whispered to Shaak. She nodded with complete assent.
Mace Windu looked up. He had noticed that Eeth Koth's hologram had been unusually quiet. "Master Koth, what do you suggest?"
The Zabrak looked up. "I was considering a measure that might be viewed as counterproductive."
"And that is?" Plo Koon seemed rather interested.
Eeth Koth straightened in his chair. "I have a Master and Padawan under my command. I'm sure you all remember Master Tone?"
There was a general consensus of nodding.
"His Padawan has been acting up too as of late. Both of them could use a hand. I would help them myself, but I am presently on a mission to Ord Cestus."
Master Yoda's brow furrowed. "Recall, I do, that Master Tone and his Padawan are on Koru Neimodia."
"Yes," replied Eeth Koth. "They are hunting Ruune Haako."
"Perhaps the Padawan and her Master can lend a hand?" Mace Windu suggested. "The capture of a Seperatist leader would further our attempts to end this war."
"I agree," Yoda concurred.
"I," said Master Mundi.
"I," said Master Windu.
"I as well," said Shaak Ti.
"I too," said Plo Koon."
So it went across the room, as "I," after "I," was uttered.
The result was unanimous. "Settled, the matter is," Master Yoda finished. "To Koru Neimodia will Master Skywalker and his Padawan go."
Ahsoka wasn't sure whether she should be happy, or terrified.
So ends Chapter 2. Did I succeed in my depiction of the Council? Plz review. This was actually finished yesterday, but my internet was being a whiny bee, so it did not get uploaded.
