Asakura Chronicles
"You never learn do you Asakura?" sneered one of the younglings. "You could've killed yourself back there, not like we're complaning" said another youngling, as a group of young Jedi surrounded them. "Well, excuse me for trying to get here on time" responded Tom. "Why don't you spare us the humiliation and don't come to the padawan" said one of the younglings. "And miss out the chance of proving you guys wrong? Ha! Not. A. Chance!" "There you go again! Making promises you can't keep!" said another youngling. Tom then smirked. "Heh! Okay then. Here's some promises I'll be keeping from now on. I will pass the trials. I will become a padawan. And I will become a Knight. A knight that everyone can depend on, so people won't ignore or disrespect me but treat me like I'm someone! Someone important!" He then showed a fist and turned it into a thumbs up. "I never, ever go back on my word and I'll never give up! I'll show all of you" Then all the younglings started to laugh and point at him. "Ha! Yeah! And I'm a Wookie" "Yeah! That's about as true like that Qui Gon actually liked you!" Tom's eyes started widen and lost his smile. "The only reason he acted as if he cared about you is because he felt sorry for you!" said one of the younglings. His face started to tighten with anger. "I mean who wouldn't feel sorry for you! You got no friends, no likes you, even the Masters think your a total a creep!" said the other youngling. Now he starts tightning his jaw and turns his thumbs up to a fist. "Maybe Qui Gon died because he let himself get killed. Why? Because he couldn't take another day cleaning up after your messes, you mess" "Is that what everyone thinks?" Tom finally said. "It might as well be. So?" the youngling responded. Tom took a deep breath and said: "Well here's what I think... I could care less of what you think! After all, I'll make it all up... He then turns around and starts walking away from the group of younglings and finishes his sentence with this: "...after I become a Knight!" "Well then, maybe I was wrong about Qui Gon's death. I think in the end... he was crazy!" When that youngling said those words, Tom immediately vanished. "Wh-where'd he go?" said one of the younglings. After a few seconds, Tom reappeared in front of the three insulting younglings and after a few seconds later, the youngling was on the floor in pain and then Tom disappeared. "He punched me in the gut!" "Where is he?!" said one of the younglings. He then reappeared next to the temple walls of the hallway. "There he is!"yelled out one of the younglings as he charged towards Tom. But as he got close to him, Tom disappeared and reappeared behind his opponent and whacked him behind his head, having the front of the youngling's head impacted the walls, knocking him unconscious and disappeared and reappeared in front of the last youngling, grabs his robe and lifts him up a wall and has a bleeding clenched fist (from clenching so hard) in front of the terrified youngling's face. "Wha-what are you doing?" "Take that back" said Tom. "What?" "I said take...that...BACK!" The youngling gave a calm smile. "What's the matter, can't take the truth?" Memories of Tom's past comes back to him. Memories of him being called monster,freak,creep. Memories of mothers telling their children to stay away from him and that he's dangerous. He even remembers someone said to him "Freak! Why don't you die!?" Memories of people staring at him with faces that said "I hate you!" and he remembers how much he hated them, that is until he met Qui Gon. "YOU... DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME!" Tom screamed as his fist rockets towards the terrified younglings face. But then a hand which was not as big as Tom's grabs his arm, stopping the fist's impact. When Tom turns his to see who it was, he sees a Togruta girl who was about Tom's age. "A-Ahsoka?"
The Togruta youngling gave a long sigh. "Having another fit Tom?" He then showed a disappointed look on his face. "Stay out of this Ahsoka. Let go of my arm and walk away" "Hmm, I wonder how Master Qui Gon would've acted in the very same situation your in?" Ahsoka said as she removes her hand from his arm and whispered "You know the answer" When he closed his eyes, took a deep breath and when he opened his eyes, he had his fist charged not at the youngling, but at a the temple wall, let go of the youngling and walked away from the group. "Well that could've gone better" Ahsoka said to herself. "What the heck is your problem Tano?" "Yeah, we could've gotten rid of him and out of our lives!" "We all know you want to get rid of 'cause he gets you into so much trouble" said the younglings. She then turns around toward them with an angry look. "You wanna know why I care about him? Because 1: he's nice to me 2: he doesn't treat me like a innocent little girl and 3:he's always looking out for me! You know, you guys should be a shame of yourselves! You shouldn't even come to padawan trials because Tom has skills that you don't!" "And what would that be? The skills of being a failure?" one of the younglings joked. "Skills as a fighter...(she mumbled after that but) and as a actual person" said Ahsoka, as she starts looking for Tom. "Oh, I get it now" "Get what?" said one of the younglings. As the youngling started to grin, he started singing: "Tom and Ahsoka sitting in a tree...!" and then the entire group finished the song. "...K-i-s-s-i-n-g!" As the younglings continued to laugh, Ahsoka starts to flashback on the day she Tom, while she searches for him. "Hey... are you okay?" a young boy asked, looking at the young Togurta girl, who is barely conscious. "Hold on! I'll get Master Plo! Master Plo! Hurry! I need help over here!" (Two hours later) "Thank you" The Togurta girl said, lying on the bed. "It was no problem! Really!" The boy said. "You should be lucky that Asakura found you or else you would've died from starvation" said an old Kel Dor Jedi. "I am Plo Koon and you must be Ahsoka Tano. We were looking for you to stay with us at the Jedi Temple on Courscant to help you train your abilities. When your there, you will be able to obtain a purpose" Plo said. "I... I don't know. I really don't know what it's like outside my own home" Ahsoka replied nervously. "It's okay! There's lots of other kids there that are just like us. We're kind of like a family! Wouldn't that be awesome, having your own family?" (A few years later) "Why? Why do you let them pick on you Tom?" Ahsoka asked, now in Jedi robes and looking at Tom with a black eye. "Well, what's the point in getting angry at them? It's not going to change anything" Tom replied. "Ugh! That's it! I've decided!" "Decided what?" Tom asked. "Why I want to be Jedi! So I can protect my family I made in the Jedi Temple and so that no one that I know will cry! By the way... what's the reason why you became a Jedi Tom?" Ahsoka asked. "Me? Well... promise me that you won't laugh okay?" "Of course!" "Well... I wanna become a Knight that everyone can depend on and create a galaxy with no wars so that no one can suffered what I endured" "That's why" Ahsoka thought to herself "That's why I always helped Tom, no matter how small it was. I wanted to protect to protect him so he can make his dream come true. So he won't ever have to cry!"
"Hey! Hey, wait up!" Ahsoka yelled out, catching up to Tom. "Oh! Sorry Ahsoka. I didn't hear you. I had a lot on my mind" Finally caught up to him and catching her breath: "I heard 'pant' what they said 'pant' about Qui Gon. 'pant' Totally uncalled for!" said Ahsoka, exhausted. "So why did you stop me from turning that guy's face into submission?" "Because today is the padawan trials! And if you want to become a knight, you to graduate from a padawan and in order to that, you must blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah... (He's trying to ignore Ahsoka's speech on Jedi graduation while trying to pretend he understands what's she saying. So far, its working out great. Wish I could do that) ... from a youngling" She finally stops. "If the Masters saw what you did to those three, you would've got zero chance of graduating" "I guess, but still it would be worth it to see that guy pee his pants. Kinda of funny wouldn't you agree" "No, it wouldn't be worth it" "But?" "But it would've been funny to see" Ahsoka chuckled. "What would've been funny?" said old, mysterious voice. The two turned around and see a Kel Dor Jedi behind them. "Oh Master Plo" Ahsoka said, as she bows to him "Towcoeya Master" "Towcoeya, little Soka" Plo replied. He then turns to Tom. "Hello, young Asakura" he said's in a low pitch voice. "Oh,uhh, hel-I mean, Towcoeya Master" Tom replied as he bow his head. Both Ahsoka and Plo Koon were surprised because Tom barely showed that type respect to anyone except Qui Gon. "Wow, I didn't know Tom could actually show respect to others, especially to Master Plo. Maybe he can change from experience" Ahsoka thought to herself. "Good. He's finally grasped discipline" Plo thought to himself as well. As he raised his head, Tom then said: "So what's up P.K.?" as he gave him a thumbs up and a smile. "Or maybe not" Ahsoka thought with a sigh. "Still giving nicknames I see" "I thought you weren't comfy with "Plo Cool!" so I changed it" "Hmm, yes well, I came to inform you that the all younglings are at the training room for the padawan trials" Both Tom and Ahsoka gasped. "Oh man, we totally lost track of time!" "See ya P.K.!" said Tom as he rushed into the hallways (Tom) (Ahsoka) "Tom, his name is Plo Koon!" "P.K.!" "Plo Koon!" "P.K.!" "Plo Koon!" "P.K.!" "Plo Koon!" "Plo Koon!" "P.K...darn it!" "Hahahaha! You make it to easy Ahsoka!" "Hey! Wait for me! I'm still exhausted from catching up with you from before!" said Ahsoka as they run in the halls. "They sure have grown" said Plo. "They have, indeed" said a strange but familiar voice. Walking up right next to Plo was Master Yoda, walking steadily on his cane. "But I worry what's going to happen next, especially for the boy" said Plo. "Master Yoda, what do you think what holds in the future for Asakura?" "Impossible to tell, the future is" Yoda responded. "But faith we must have, for Asakura's sake, like Qui Gon had faith in him" "If the Chosen One were to fail, then I guess that boy could be our only hope" Plo responded. "But in order to do that, he must learn how to control "him" and master the Asakura clan's abilities. And if he fails, it would mean another disaster like what happened at Qui Gon's funeral" A shiver went down Plo's spine. "The look on that boy's face, that laughter and the chaos that followed with it, but worst of all... him realizing the power of "him" and transforming into...into..." Master Yoda stopped him. "Bring back the past, we must not Master Plo" "I know" Yoda then turned his head at the two younglings still running in the halls, "We must prepare for the future, for now" said Yoda "For Asakura's sake, especially"
