Asakura Chronicles
"Ever again...! Ever again...! Ever again...!" Shaak Ti's words repeated themselves over and over inside Tom's head and continues even when he left the training room, haunting him as he stares at the wall above him with a blank look on his face while he lays on the bed. During Tom's stare down, he missed the Youngling Congratulation Ceremony. Ahsoka's Congratulation Ceremony.
"Ahsoka I... I should have stand up to myself back there and let you... NO! If I'd let you defend for me then you would've meet the same fate I took or wait... Uggghhh!" Tom then gets up and screams while he throws a pillow at the wall and goes back on his bed, curled into a ball.
"Gah! I don't know what I should think or feel! I don't know if I should be happy for Ahsoka or mad at the Masters or mad at myself for... Arrrrgghhh! I don't know what to believe! I don't know what to do anymore!"
Then Ahsoka's words came back to him "I wonder what Qui Gon would've done in the very situation your in"
"Qui Gon... I don't know what to do. I just don't know" he muttered.
He then got up and exited his room, walking in the halls for some time. When he reaches the landing platforms, he spots Ahsoka and Plo with her, seeing her goodbye.
"You will meet your Master, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, on Christopthisis. He will accompanied by Council member Obi Wan Kenobi. Make sure you pay close attention to both of them, especially Skywalker" Plo told her
"Yes Master" Ahsoka responded with sadness in her voice.
"Ahsoka, what happened to Asakura had to be done. His mischievous ways would've brought disaster on the battlefield and his arrogance would've led him to a early death"
"I guess your right"
"Also, you must forget Asakura. Forget about him, erase him, like he never existed"
"What?! Why?!"
"I saw some of Asakura arrogance inside of you when you spoke against us at the exam. It wouldn't do you much good with your new Master" "I understand but...!" "Ahsoka! Don't just do this for me or you. as well for the people of Shili"
"Alright Master. I understand"
"Take care, Padawan Tano"
"Thank you Master. Thank you for everything you've done"
As she gets on the ship and turns around to wave Plo goodbye, she mutters "I'm sorry Tom"
When the ship took lift off, Tom continues walking straight in the halls, with tears running down his face.
After walking some more, Tom reaches at the entrance of the Jedi Temple cemetery and walks over toward Qui Gon's grave
"Qui Gon... I'm so sorry. I tried so hard to have faith in my way of the Jedi and I failed" he said, failing in holding back a stream of tears.
"And I'll probably never get the chance of becoming the Jedi that you envisioned of me and fulfilling your vision of peace. So I beg for your wisdom and forgiveness to answer this to me, what am I suppose to do now?"
It was silent.
"Please Master! What am I suppose to do now?"
Again there was silence. There was no sound, no noise. There was no answer.
"WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO NOW...!"
Just then, a dart was shot at back of his neck, giving him a woozy and dizzy feeling, making him unconscious. Hiding behind the shadows were three clone troopers.
"Go get the kid! I'll report back to General Koon"
"Yes sir!" The two clones grabbed Tom's unconscious body, the other one start talking on his comlink.
"General, it's been done sir"
"Good, take the boy and take him to the cell at the secret holding facility. Make sure that Project Asakura never sees the light of day again"
