2 Year Later 25BBY
The Jedi Shuttle shuddered and trembled as blaster fire rained down upon it from the enemy ship chasing them.
"Darn it, I wish these people would leave us alone!" A male Padawan yelled as he returned fire on the enemy ship.
"No time for wishful thinking, my young Padawan! We need to jump into hyperspace and fast!" Yelled a Female Jedi Master to her Padawan.
The female Jedi Master quickly turned to look at the red and blue astromech droid next to a computer. "R6, is the ship ready for hyperspace?" she asked urgently.
R6 emitted a series of affirming whistles and beeps. "Great! Set the coordinates for Coruscant and fast!" the Female Jedi directed as she skillfully navigated the ship to evade incoming fire.
Dylan, Ahsoka, Cameron, Erix, Amber, and Natalya sat close to each other, feeling nervous after the ship was hit by an assault of blaster fire. Would they make it through this alive? OR NOT!
"Are we going to make it!?" Cameron asked nervously. "I am sure we will. I have hope," Dylan said, still frightened but confident they would make it out alive.
"That does not really give me confidence dude!" Cameron yelled frightened.
The mysterious attacker flew their ship closer.
"Come on, jump into hyperspace!" The Padawan said as tried to fight back in a gun turret.
Closer
"Come on"
Closer
"COME ON"
And Closer
"MASTER!" the Padawan shouted, struggling to push the attacker back within a gun turret.
The attacker launched a missile toward the Jedi Shuttle and...
8 Hours ago. ((Jedi Temple Energy Clan Common Room))
Dylan was annoyed.
Currently in the common room, Dylan, Ahsoka, Cameron, Erix, Amber and Natalya were playing a card game. Lets just say that Dylan was losing.
"Draw 4 cards, Dylan!" Ahsoka said, firmly placing a card onto the stack on the table. Dylan already had 17 cards and on the verge of just giving up.
"Come on guys lighten up on me will you." Dylan said with an annoyed look on his face.
Erix suddenly slammed a card onto the table and stood up with his arms raised high in the air. "I WIN!" he yelled, grinning.
Dylan let out a sigh of relief as he slammed all of his cards down on the table. "Finally, that's over," he muttered. Despite being only 10 years old, he had more patience than most kids his age. However, it became increasingly hard to control it when he kept being given cards over and over again!
"Ah come on Dylan, don't be a sore loser." Ahsoka teased as she nudged his arm.
"I am not! It was just simply frustrating to constantly receive cards every single turn throughout the game!" Dylan said in his defense.
"Okay, okay, guys, that's enough," Natalya intervened as she collected the cards and put them into a small box.
Dylan leaned back in his chair with a sigh. "Do we have another game to play?" he asked, looking around the room.
Amber stood up and walked over to the shelf where all the games were neatly stacked and look through each game. "Hmm, looks like we've played every single one of them." she said annoyed.
"Does not matter anyway. These games are not that enjoyable anyway. Why does the Jedi Order even have boring games to begin with?" Erix said as he walked over and stood next to his sister.
"Probably to not get us engaged in them, to avoid losing focus on other things like studying, training and all that crap." Cameron said as he walked over and fell onto a beanbag.
Dylan looked out the window towards the big city. "Maybe we can go out into the city! Explore and all that stuff." He suggested.
"That sadly won't happen, Dylan. We're kids. Until we are a Jedi Knight or Jedi Master, we are not allowed to leave the Jedi temple without permission, and we all know they will never give us permission." Ahsoka said in a sad tone.
Dylan silently agreed with her, while he enjoyed spending time in the Jedi temple, training, studying, reading and hanging out with his friends. Sometimes he just wants to leave the temple and explore the outside world beyond the temples walls.
Dylan placed his hand onto Ahsoka's shoulder. "I agree, but who knows, maybe something interesting will happen today." he said with optimism.
Everyone in that room hoped that would be true.
"Why don't we go and get some lunch. Its almost time for it anyway." Natalya said as she put the card game back with the other BORING games.
Cameron hopped up from his bean bag with glee. "That is wonderful idea, lets go!" he said already walking towards the door.
"You think that because you love eating... Like a lot." Amber said rolling her eyes.
"I'M A GROWING BOY!"
((Jedi Council Chambers))
Within the Jedi Council chambers, a meeting concerning 6 young initiates was being talked about.
"How goes Training for the Energy Clan, Master Harand." Master Windu asked.
Tiiona Harand is a female human in her mid to late 20's with dark brown skin, green eyes, and black hair. She is the head of the Energy Clan and teacher for Dylan Shan, Ahsoka Tano, Cameron Moneaux, Erix Winslett, Amber Winslett, and Natalya Kennet for 5 years.
"Their progress is going smoothly, Master Windu. Especially for young Dylan Shan and Ahsoka Tano." said Master Harand.
Yoda gazed at Tiiona with a curious expression in his eyes. "Explain, Master Harand," he inquired. Yoda was quite intrigued by the progress of young Dylan and Ahsoka, particularly Dylan's.
"Well master, Dylan and Ahsoka are currently at the top of their class for lightsaber combat. They frequently spar with each other during lightsaber training. Despite being only 10 years old, they have already started discussing what their lightsaber forms will be," Tiiona explained to the Jedi Council."
Master Plo Koon leaned forward in his chair, his interest piqued. "Really? Have they already chosen a Lightsaber form?" he asked, curious.
Master Harand crossed her arms and had a small smirk on her face. "Ahsoka is leaning towards Form V, Dylan is actually considering using two forms, Form V and Form IV" She said.
"Hmmm, their training, how is it, for the Force?" Yoda asked intrigued. He remembered two years ago when Dylan had told him about having visions of his parents without knowing it was his parents. Since that discussion, Dylan hasn't informed him about another vision since then.
"Things are going well. Dylan and Ahsoka are excelling in that class, but I sense they might face some competition from one of their classmates, young Natalya Kennet." said Master Harand. From what she has seen, Natalya is slowly catching up to them in the Force department.
"What about the other younglings? Erix Winslett, Amber Winslett and Cameron Moneaux?" Master Shaak Ti asked.
Tiiona expressed a sigh and lowered her arms to her sides. "The twins, Erix and Amber, likes joking around with each other, While this sometimes affects their focus during training, they are doing well in lightsaber training." she said.
"Maybe someone should talk to them and help them focus during training," suggested Mace Windu.
Master Harand shook her head. "I tried talking to them to encourage more focus on training and less joking around, but sometimes they just don't listen," she explained.
Yoda let out a small laugh and shook his head. "A twins bond. Impossible to break, it is." he said with a small smile on his face.
"How is Cameron Moneaux's training?" Master Eeth Koth asked. He wondered how goes training for a fellow Zabrak, plus he was the Jedi that brought Cameron to the Jedi temple when he was 3 years old, so lets just say he was curious.
"He is doing well in both Lightsaber and Force training, although there was a period of slacking, but dont worry, that time has passed," Tiiona replied.
"Now that updates on the younglings training are done, Master Harand. Do you think they are ready for the Gathering?" Mace Windu questioned Tiiona.
Tiiona looked down for a few seconds as she thought about that. Yes, she thinks they are ready for the Gathering, but she feels like they need something else to complete the milestone for them to actually do the Gathering.
"I think the younglings need to complete one more task before they can build their Lightsabers during the Gathering," Tiiona said hesitantly.
This statement raised some eyebrows. What did she mean by that?
"What do you suggest the younglings do, Master Harand?" Plo Koon questioned.
Master Harand took a moment to think before an idea popped into her mind. "How about this, the younglings can take a trip to an ancient Jedi Temple to do some meditation. Let the true feeling of the Force flow through their minds." She suggested to the council.
Some members looked at each other as they contemplated Master Harand's idea. Mace looked over at Yoda." Master Yoda, your thoughts on this idea?" He wondered.
Yoda thought for a moment on the idea before answering. "Agree I do. with Master Harands idea." He answered.
"Then it's settled. Master Harand, you will take the younglings to an ancient Jedi Temple of your choosing and meditate there for a full day." Master Windu ordered.
Tiiona smiled for a moment before frowning. "I would like to take the young ones on this trip. But at the moment I am currently backed up on grading their previous tests. Could it be someone else?" She asked.
"How about Master Juno Xelari and her Padawan Ryak Vererone. They currently free on work and have no further missions at the moment." Master Plo Koon asked.
"Work out, they will." Yoda confirmed.
"I will personally ask Master," said Tiiona. She already knew Master Juno Xelari since she went on a few missions with her in the past. So she knew her well enough to ask her.
Yoda nodded, Tiiona bowed and left the Jedi Council Chambers to go ask an old friend for a favor.
((Jedi Temple Energy Clan Common Room))
Dylan, Ahsoka, Cameron, Erix, Amber, and Natalya made their way into the common room after eating some lunch.
"Well, that was a nice lunch," Dylan commented as he walked over to the table where he had been sitting before lunch.
"What you call nice, I call delightful." Cameron said as he fell onto a bean bag near the corner of the room.
"I'm surprised you know that word." Natalya said rolling her eyes.
"I am a boy with many sources of information." Cameron said with his hands behind his head and relaxing into the bean bag.
"Which would be?" Natalya questioned with her arms crossed and a raised eyebrow.
Cameron smirked then pointed at Dylan, who was already reading a book he had been reading earlier that morning. Dylan noticed Cameron was pointing at him. "What?" Dylan said wondering what was happing.
"He has read so many books he is basically a walking library now! He says certain words that I can pick up on." Cameron said to Natalya with a smirk.
"I am not a Library!" Dylan said defensively.
"Sure you are man, sure you are" Cameron said rolling his eyes.
Dylan rolled his eyes and looked down at his book. "Cameron may be an idiot, but you are basically a library." Ahsoka said, walking up to him and putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Hey!" Cameron said.
Dylan placed his book on the table and gazed at the others. "Very amusing, guys," he said with sarcasm.
"Absolutely." Cameron said with a beaming grin.
Dylan suddenly had a grin on his face. "At least I can learn things, unlike you, who sometimes require me to learn!"
Cameron was about to respond, but Natalya intervened. "Okay, guys, enough with the jabs at each other," Natalya said, though she had a tiny grin on her face.
"Yea that's both Amber's and mine's job!" Erix said jumping in out of nowhere.
Natalya rolled her eyes and was about to reply before Master Harand entered the room.
"Initiates!" She announced getting everyone's attention.
"Yes Master Harand!" Dylan, Ahsoka, Cameron, Erix, Amber, and Natalya said in sync.
"I have an announcement." Tiiona announced.
"Really Master! What is it!" Erix said with a wide smile.
"I am getting to it Erix." She said with a small smile. "Today You will be going on a trip to an ancient Jedi Temple!" She announced.
"WHAT!"
"NO WAY!"
"THATS COOL!"
"WHEN DO WE LEAVE"
"OK OK initiates! Quiet down!" She said raising her hands in the air to signal them to quiet down. It worked.
"You will be going to an ancient Jedi Temple within the deep core. You will be doing some meditation while you are there." She explained.
"Aw, come on meditation!" Cameron started to complain.
Master Harand raised an eyebrow and stared down at Cameron. Cameron turned pale and nervously cleared his throat. "Sorry, master," Cameron said before quieting down.
Tiiona nodded and turned away from Cameron. "Anyways, For this trip I wont be accompany you, I have to grade your tests you did yesterday. You will be accompanied by an old Friend of mine. Jedi Master Juno Xelari and her apprentice Ryak Vererone." She explained.
"How long will we be there master?" Ahsoka asked.
"About 5 hours, you will get food and drinks don't worry, call this trip... a gift for completing those tests yesterday." Tiiona tried to explain the best she could.
"Awesome!" Erix and Amber said in unison.
Tiiona chuckled, then checked the time on her comlink. "You're leaving for the trip in 2 hours. Why don't you start getting your things ready?" she instructed.
"Yes master" everyone said in sync yet again.
Tiiona nodded before walking out of them room for a moment.
Dylan turned to everyone. "See! What did I say before lunch, "maybe something interesting will happen today", and it did!" He said with enthusiasm.
"It may be meditation, but at least we get to leave the temple, and to another planet for kriff sake!" Cameron said throwing his hands in the air.
Natalya slapped him at the back of the head. "Language."
"Hey!" Cameron said rubbing the back of his head.
Natalya rolled hers and shook her head.
"Lets go pack already!" Amber said waving her hands up and down.
"LAST PERSON TO PACK IS A ROTTEN WOMP RAT!" Erix said quickly and under one breath. He ran off like theirs no tomorrow.
"Hey, no fair!" Amber said, running after him. Natalya shook her head and walked after them, as did Cameron, who was still rubbing the back of his head.
"This is so exciting!" Ahsoka said to Dylan grinning as she and Dylan walked after the rest of their friends."
"I know!." Dylan said excited. He finally was able to see the outside world and not be stuck in the Jedi temple 24/7!
((Jedi Temple Hanger))
In the Jedi Temple Hanger, standing in front of a Jedi Shuttle stood Jedi Master Juno Xelari and her Padawan Ryak Vererone.
Juno Xelari was a twi'lek female in her late 20's, she had Purple skin, Blue eyes and wore light brown Jedi Robes. Ryak Vereone was a Human male in his late teens, he had short brown hair and brown eyes and wore brown Jedi robes. He also had a scar on his cheek that ran down from the middle of his cheek to the middle of his jaw.
"Master, what are we doing here, and who are we waiting for?" Ryak said, confused. He was in the middle of adjusting his lightsaber when his Master informed him of an assignment that was given to them.
"We are waiting for a friend of mine to bring her students to us." Juno answered.
"Why exactly, master?" Ryak said confused. He couldn't understand why a friend of his master would bring a group of Jedi kids to meet them.
"Patience my Padawan, I am getting to that." Juno said. Ryak face turned slightly red from embarrassment.
"We are going to be taking these initiates to an ancient Jedi Temple in the Deep core for some meditation. This is going to be their final task before taking the Gathering." Juno explained to Ryak.
Ryak raised an eyebrow at this. A trip to an Ancient Jedi Temple just for meditation? That sounded both interesting and boring at the same time. A trip to an old Jedi temple sounded very interesting; all the ancient knowledge that is probably lost about that place is wild. On the other hand, going to the old Jedi Temple just for meditation... He did not know what to think about that; it just sounded boring.
Soon, Jedi Master Tiiona Harand arrived, interrupting his thoughts. She was accompanied by 6 Jedi initiates walking behind her.
From what he can see, the 6 Jedi initiates were, One Human, One Togruta, Two Pantroans, one Zabrak and one Chiss.
"Interesting group." Ryak said in the back of his mind.
"Master Xelari, thanks for taking my students on this trip. I seriously am backed up on grading their work at the moment." Tiiona politely greeted Master Xelari with a nod.
"It's not a problem at all, Master Harand," Juno reassured. "In fact, I believe this trip could be quite beneficial for my Padawan."
"So that means I will be meditating as well?" Ryak thought, the question lingering in his mind.
Tiiona turned around and faced the initiates, who looked excited. "Alright, this is where I will leave you. From now until you come back tonight, you will follow every order Master Xelari and her Padawan give you. No trouble. If there is, she will tell me. Am I clear?" she instructed.
"Yes Master," the Jedi Initiates said in unison.
"Alright then, have a good trip and May the force be with you." Tiiona said. She looked over at Juno and bowed before walking away.
"Alright, younglings, follow me," Master Xelari instructed. She walked into the ship with Ryak, and the younglings following soon after.
Juno entered the cockpit followed by Ryak and a red and blue astromech, she sat in the pilots seat and turned on the engines. The Jedi shuttle ascended from the ground and excited the hanger soaring into the cloudy sky.
((Unknown Location))
A man cloaked in black robes sat in a middle of a dark and damp room meditating.
During the meditation, the cloaked man received strange visions through the Force.
"Master Xelari, would it be okay for you to take my students on a trip to a planet that houses an ancient Jedi Temple?" Jedi Master Tiiona Harand asked.
"I'll do it Master Harand. I'm surprised the council is allowing you to do this," Jedi Master Juno Xelari answered.
"Turns out they actually agreed with me on this trip." said Master Harand.
"That's surprising, but which planet do you want me to take them to?" questioned Master Xelari
"Tython" answered Master Harand.
The mysterious cloaked man opened his eyes, revealing two bright, dark yellow eyes.
1 hour later ((Tython system. Deep Core))
The Jedi Shuttle emerged from hyperspace in front of a planet called Tython.
Ryak looked out the window of the shuttle and recognized the planet. He remembered it from his studies as a youngling.
"Tython? The ancient Jedi Temple is located on this planet?" Ryak said surprised.
"Does it surprise you, my Padawan?" Juno said with a teasing grin.
Ryak was silent for a moment before responding, "Now that I think about it, it actually makes sense due to its history.".
Juno chuckled before paying attention to flying the ship. "Alright lets take the ship down. Go tell the younglings we have arrived." She instructed him.
"Yes Master" Ryak said before walking out of the cockpit.
Meanwhile with the initiates, lets say there was some competition going on.
Dylan swung down at Ahsoka with a training saber and Ahsoka blocked it with her training saber.
"Who do you think will win?" Erix whispered to his twin sister.
"Honestly, I think Dylan, he's been training so much lately." Amber replied. Dylan has been waking up early in the morning sometimes and going to train with practice sabers.
"For me, I think Ahsoka, though Dylan as been training alot, Ahsoka is faster in her movements."
Amber suddenly had a idea. "How about a bet, if Dylan wins, you will do my homework for a week!" She suggested.
Erix smirked. "Alright then, if Ahsoka wins. You will have to do my biding for a week!" He suggested.
"DEAL!" Amber said with a grin.
Dylan nudged Ahsoka with enough force to make her stagger backwards.
"Impressive skill, Ahsoka," Dylan said with a smirk on his face.
"I am just getting started," Ahsoka shot back with a smirk. She ran forward and swung at Dylan, who ducked. After recovering, Dylan swiftly moved towards Ahsoka and quickly kicked her in the abdomen, taking advantage of the situation he quickly stole her training saber and pointed it at her.
"Looks Like I win." Dylan said panting from all of the movement he did.
Amber pointed at her twin brother with glee. "HA I WIN! You will do my homework for a week." She said with a wide grin. Erix groaned annoyed at losing the bet.
Ahsoka rolled her eyes as Dylan deactivated the saber. "I swear I will beat you next time." She shot back with a smirk. Dylan walked over to the storage chests and put the training sabers away.
"How many times haven't I beaten you again Ahsoka?" Dylan said walking back over to Ahsoka. "31 Times, but I have beaten you 30 times! So I will catch up to you and be in the lead." Ahsoka said with a confident smirk.
"What are they talking about?" Cameron said from the other side of the room. He and Natalya stood next to each other just chatting.
"Dylan and Ahsoka have been competing with each other to see who wins the most duels before they become Jedi Knights," Natalya explained. Though it seemed silly to her, it was quite serious for Dylan and Ahsoka.
"Huh, well I'll be." Cameron said.
"Younglings!"
Cameron jumped with a yelp at the unexpected voice. Natalya rolled her eyes and slapped his shoulder. "Oh calm down, its just Padawan Vereone" She said.
"I knew that!" Cameron said in defense.
"What is it, Padawan Vereone?" Dylan asked.
"We have arrived at the planet Tython." Ryak announced to everyone in the room.
The Jedi shuttle slowly flew down and landed in a small patch of land surrounded by rocky hills.
Everyone excited from the shuttle and stepped into the sunlight. Dylan glanced around, taking in the distant mountains and rocky landscapes covered in sprawling grass.
"Alright younglings, its going to be a bit of a hike getting to the Jedi Temple that's located on Tython." Juno explained.
"Why couldn't we just have flown there, Master Xelari?" Ahsoka said confused. Why walk when they could have saved time by flying?
"It's because of the temple's location, it's too small for the ship to land," Juno explained.
Ryak ran over and stood on top of some rocks, looking out across Tython's landscape. "I see the temple!" He yelled pointing into the distance. Juno walked over acuminated by the younglings. Far off into the distance they could see small looking mountain with some large stones on top of it. Everyone there could sense the force radiate from there.
"Alright then, at least we know were to go." Dylan commented.
"And here I thought we were lost." Cameron said sarcastically.
Juno walked back over to the ship. "R6!" She yelled. The Red and Blue Astromech, now known as R6 rolled over to her Beeping. "Is the supplies ready?" Juno questioned.
As if to say "yes," three semi-large crates floated over to both of them. Juno walked over to them and pressed a button on her comlink to make the crates follow her.
"Watch over the ship until we get back, R6," she ordered. R6 let out a series of beeps signifying "I will."
Juno grabbed her bag and walked back over to the others. "Alright lets get going." She said.
Juno, Ryak, and the younglings began their journey, trekking down the mountain towards the Jedi Temple in the far distant.
20 minutes later
They were half way to the old temple, but some people were already getting tired. *COUGH* Cameron *COUGH*
"My feet hurt." Cameron muttered as he dragged one foot behind him.
Dylan rolled his eyes and sighed. "Oh stop complaining Cameron. We are on a different planet instead of staying in the same building we have lived in for almost all of our lives! It's a nice change." He said trying to make his friend focus on the positives of the day, not the negatives.
"I know man I know. But can we take a break from walking? My feet feel like they're going to fall off," Cameron suggested to everyone. Ryak looked over at his Master to see what she would say.
Juno paused for a moment before speaking. "Alright, let's take a short break before continuing our journey," she said. Juno pressed a button on her comlink, and the crates slowly descended to the ground. Ryak opened up the crates and pulled out a few water bottles and sandwiches. He walked over to the younglings who were sitting on some rocks and gave each of them a water bottle and a sandwich.
"Ah, thank the Force," Cameron said before quickly drinking half of the water from the bottle. "Calm down, Cam. Don't want it going down the wrong throat," Natalya warned. As if on cue, Cameron started coughing up a storm after finishing half of the water.
"Like I said." Natalya said before biting down on her sandwich.
Juno walked over to some rocks on the hill and sat down on them. "Alright younglings. Who can tell me why there's a ancient Jedi Temple on the planet Tython?" She questions.
Dylan's hand immediately raises. "Dylan" Juno called him. "Its because Tython was the home grounds of the Je'daii Order, who were the Jedi Orders Predecessors, plus the Jedi Order used to have many temples here, like the one were traveling to." answered Dylan.
"Correct Dylan! You know your stuff." Juno said impressed.
"Thanks!" Dylan said with a proud smile.
"Wait, so there was a previous Jedi Order before The Jedi Order?" Erix said. He did not know that.
"I guess so, but I don't know a whole lot about them, I may know that Tython was there home originally and they were the Jedi Orders Predecessors but that's all I know about them." Dylan explained.
Cameron swallowed his remaining sandwich. "I'm surprised. Like I said earlier today. Your like a library." He said.
Dylan rolled his eyes and took a sip of his water. "I don't know everything Cameron." he said. He may spend a lot of time in the library during his free time. But not all the time!
After a little more time, they sat in semi-silence with birds chirping around them, feeling the soft breeze against the grass, and hearing the chewing of food and sipping of water.
Juno stood back up and through her half empty water back into her bag. "Alright, lets get back onto our Journey to the temple." She announced.
Ryak and the younglings got back onto their feet and threw their trash away before continuing the long walk to the temple. After 10 seconds of walking, Dylan, Ahsoka and Natalya stopped and looked up into the sky. They sensed something new, something different, something... dangerou-.
"Hey come on you three, keep up!" Amber said, calling out to them, jolting them out of whatever trance they were in.
They quickly jogged back over and caught up with the rest of the group. "You.. Sensed that too right?" Dylan said whispering to Ahsoka and Natalya. Both of them nodded.
"What do you think it was?" Ahsoka questioned nervous.
Dylan took a moment to think. "I don't know, all I know it was danger." He explained.
"What do we do then, do we tell Master Xelari?" Natalya said worried that something might happen.
Dylan's face scrunched up for a moment. "Maybe? No... Let's wait and tell her when we get to the temple. Maybe it's just some wildlife in the fields near us... I hope," he said.
Ahsoka and Natalya hesitantly agreed.
Tython (Outer Space)
Hovering in front of the planet Tython was a large Tribune-class light freighter. covered in weapons, weapons and more weapons.
"What do we do General? Do we attack?" Hench men#32 asked
"I am craving Jedi blood General!" Hench men#2 said.
"Patience. We have been given the order to wait until the Jedi leave the planet, then we can attack and kill them." ? ordered. The leader was dressed in dark clothing, shoulder pads with spikes on them and had clawed hands. He was the leader of the organization called. Sorcerers of Gora.
"Why are we even here sire! Who could even order around the Sorcerers of Gora." The Second In Command#1 growled.
The leader narrowed his eyes at his second in command. "This buyer is offering us 10 million credits to eliminate the Jedi here on this planet. With that amount of credits, we can expand our reach more around the galaxy!" he explained before looking back out of the window and into space.
The Second In Command growled under his breath. "Still an insult to "Buy us" just to eliminate Jedi scum." He said under his breath.
Unfortunately for him, the leader whipped around and extended his palm toward him. A barrage of lightning shot out of his palm, making contact with the Commander and sending him to the ground, where he howled in pain.
"You best keep your accusations under your tongue Commander." The Leader growled. His eyes glowed dark red underneath his mask. He stopped the lightning and turned the other way.
Despite the pain still coursing through his body, the commander managed to push himself to his feet. "Yes, sir," he forced out, shooting a glare at the leader before looking away.
Another 20 minutes later. (Tython Ancient Jedi Temple)
At long last. The group finally arrived at the temple, Ryak and the Younglings, led by Luno walked into the old and Ancient Temple.
The temple consisted of five tall and large stones supported by medium-sized stones. In the middle of the temple, there was a wide circular area with a dome-shaped stone in the center. In some areas of the temple had some old bushes that looked to have been there for a LONG time.
"This is it? It looks like nothing." Erix commented walking over to one of the large stones and touching it.
"Remember, young one, never underestimate something just because it looks insignificant to you," Juno wisely advised.
"Yes Master" Erix said understanding.
Dylan walked over to the circular area of the temple and looked around. Though he did on some degree, agree with Erix that it didn't look like much, he knew well enough to not underestimate it just because it looked like nothing. He slowly walked over to the dome-shaped stone in the middle. He could see some ruins on the stone, it looked like Jedi Ruins. Something clicked within Dylan's brain.
"Master, this stone. Is it a seeing stone?" Dylan questioned. Juno walked over to him and kneeled down, inspecting the stone. She looked at it for a little bit longer before standing back up. "You are correct young Dylan, this indeed is a seeing stone." She answered.
"What's a seeing stone?" Cameron asked walking over.
"A seeing stone allows a force user to look into the past, present and possibly, the future, and old memories of certain around places." Luno explained to everyone.
"So cool!" Erix and Amber said in sync. Both of them running over.
"So we can possibly see the future if we sit on this stone?" Ahsoka questioned curious.
"Yes, but its quite rare." Juno said.
"Very interesting." Natalya said walking around the seeing stone.
Dylan looked at the seeing the stone and... felt drawn to it? He did not know what was going on with him today, first that weird feeling of danger 20 minutes ago and now being drawn to the seeing stone. He was very confu-
"Alright younglings, your teacher, Master Harand has instructed you to do some meditation in the ancient temple, so I want everyone to sit around the seeing the stone." Juno instructed.
"Yes Master." Everyone said in sync.
"Man I hoped she would forgot about the meditation part." Cameron muttered. Everyone went and sat all around the seeing stone, not up close but a good distance away.
Dylan sat down and took some calming breath's to clear his mind. No more thinking about that sense of danger from earlier, no other weird senses he sensed, just the nice. true. feeling of the force surrounding his mind...

Tython?
Dylan opened his eyes and immediately started gasping for air. "What just happened?" he thought. "One moment I was clearing my mind and letting true feeling of the force in. It was like settling into a cozy, warm bed. And then suddenly, It felt like I blacked out and all the air was wiped from my lungs."
What ever, maybe he can ask Master Xelari about what happened.
Dylan looked over to see if Master Xelari was there. But for some strange reason... She was gone?
Dylan stood up and looked around. He was alone, Ahsoka, Cameron, Erix, Amber and Natalya were gone! Even Master Xelari and Padawan Vereone.
"Ahsoka! Cameron! Master Xelari! ANYBODY!" Dylan yelled out into the air.
Nothing...
He couldn't sense anyone. Just the birds and wildlife...
.
.
.
he was truly alone
.
.
.
Suddenly he sensed something.
Someone fast approaching, he could sense there was two people, one was just a normal person, but the other one was a force user. Was it Master Xelari? Or anyone of his Friends!
He ran over to were he sensed them approaching, and slamming into the ground was a person cased in silver armor. From what Dylan could see. It was a Mandalorian.
He remember seeing images of them from his studies, they are great warriors that are skilled, even in the same skill level as Jedi. But there was something else, the second individual, the force user. Was a tiny Master Yoda? Or it looked like the same species as Master Yoda.
The Mandalorian was holding him in his left arm as he looked around. For some reason not even noticing Dylan.
"Excuse me Mandalorian? Have you seen anyone around here? A Purple twilek, A orange Togruta, a Chiss, two Pantoran's, a Zabrak and a Human?" Dylan questioned.
The Mandalorian did not say anything to him, and still was not noticing him. "Cant you even hear what I'm saying!" Dylan said stepping closer to the Mandalorian. Only for the Mandalorian to walk right through him.
"WHAT THE?" Dylan gasped and turned around to stare at the Mandalorian who was walking towards the temple.
The Mandalorian walked towards the temple and stopped at the entrance of it. "Well, I guess this is it." The Mandalorian said possibly to the Mini Yoda.
The Mandalorian continued to walk and entered the temple. He slowly walked as he observed his surroundings. Dylan walked over to him. "Can you even see me?" Dylan said stepping a feet away from the Mando and waving his hand in front of him.
And just like a moment ago, the Mandalorian stepped right through him. Dylan was confused as to what was going on. Was he a ghost? No thats not possible.
Then it clicked. It was a vision! OF COURSE! He remember Master Xelari mentioning you can have visions of either the past present or future because of the seeing stone.
"Does this look, Jedi to you?" The Mandalorian wondered to Mini Yoda. Dylan watched as he walked over to the seeing stone. "I guess you sit right here." The Mandalorian said unsure. Mando placed Mini Yoda onto of the seeing stone carefully. The Mando looked around nervous. "Ok here we go." Mando said.
What is he trying to do? Why did he put Mini Yoda onto the seeing stone?
"This is the seeing stone, are you seeing anything?" Mando said. He knows its a seeing stone? How does a Mandalorian have knowledge about the Jedi and its history to understand that this is a seeing stone?
Mini Yoda looked up at the Mando and tilted its head. "Or are they supposed to see you?" Mando asked confused. He pressed something on his helmet and started to walk around the stone looking at it. Dylan could faintly hear some wiring noise coming from the helmet. "Maybe there is some kind of, control or something." Mando wondered.
He finished looking around the stone and looked at Mini Yoda. A butterfly flew near Mini Yoda's head and it reached for it while letting out a noise. Mando sighed and shook is head. Mini Yoda continued to reach out for the butterfly. "Oh come on kid, Dylan, Ahsoka and Anakin told me all I had to do was get you here and you do the rest." He said to Mini Yoda.
WHAT! This Mandalorian knew him, Ahsoka and for something reason Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one!? He was really confused as to why this Mandalorian even knew him and why did he bring this Mini Yoda to the Seeing Sto-

Tython (( 7 Hours Later ))
Luno slowly walked around the Younglings looking over as they meditated.
"Still meditating Master?" Ryak said as he rested against one of the rocks polishing his lightsaber. "Indeed. I can sense alot of peace within them as they let the force calm their mind." Juno said walking past Ahsoka, but she stopped at Dylan. She could sense something from him, confusing, shock and bewilderment.
Ryak noticed his master stopped walking and was staring at Dylan. "What is it Master?" He asked confused.
"I sense a lot of emotions and feelings radiating off of young Shan here. I wonder why." Juno wondered, she noticed Dylan's hand grip his knees tightly and his breathing start to became heavier.
Juno put her hand on his shoulder. "Dylan? Dylan!" Juno said as she shook his shoulder. Dylan gasped and his eyes flew wide open. He panted as he tried to catch his breath.
"Dylan its okay, your safe." Juno safe kneeling down to him to help him. Ryak quickly walked over to see what's going on. "Thanks." Dylan said calming down.
"Padawan, grab some water and bring it over to Dylan." Juno ordered. Ryak quickly nodded and ran off.
"What happened Dylan?" Juno asked concerned. Dylan tried to collect his thoughts and get his breathing to normal. "I...I had a vision." Dylan revealed.
"A vision!" Juno asked shocked. A youngling having a vision at this age? This is surprising. "Are you sure young one." She asked trying to be sure.
"Yes, master," Dylan said. Ryak walked over and handed him a water. "Thanks," Dylan said, before taking a lot of sips.
"What did you see in the vision?" Juno asked, keen to know what had happened.
"I was still in the temple, but everyone else was gone. Out of nowhere, a Mandalorian showed up," Dylan revealed.
"A Mandalorian!?" Juno asked surprised.
"Yes, Master," Dylan said. "He also had a child with him. The child looked like the same species as Master Yoda."
Juno looked shocked. Master Yoda is the only Jedi in the order who is the same species as him. A few years ago, there was another Jedi named Yaddle who was also the same species, but she went missing."
Juno checked her comlink and looked at the sunset. "We should head back to Coruscant. I'll talk to Master Yoda about the vision," she said.
Juno stood up and walked into the middle of the temple. "Okay younglings you can come out of the meditation." She announced while also reaching out through the force to tell them.
Ahsoka, Cameron, Erix, Amber and Natalya came out of the meditation.
"thank the force that's over, that was the most weird meditation I ever had." Cameron commented as he stood up and stretched.
Dylan stood up and grabbed his bag. Ahsoka noticed his strange behavior, she remembered how he had acted the same way 2 years ago when he had two visions. About a woman and a man. Dylan never found out who they were, even after talking to Master Yoda about it. And right here he was acting the same way.
Ahsoka walked up to her long time friend and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Are you alright Dylan?" She said concerned. Dylan looked at his childhood friend and debated whether or not to tell her. Should he? "What the kriff am I talking about, I should tell her, she's my best friend." Dylan Thought.
"I-I had a vision." Dylan said. Ahsoka's eyes widened at the revaluation. another vision?
"Another vision?" Ahsoka said surprised.
"Yea. In the vision I saw a Mandalorian warrior with a child who was the same species as Master Yoda." Dylan told Ahsoka. Ahsoka looked shocked for a long moment.
Ahsoka thought for a moment before responding. "You can tell me all about it later when were back home. Lets just go." Ahsoka said. Dylan nodded and threw his backpack on his back.
After a few minutes everyone was packed up and ready to go. "Alright younglings lets go." Juno instructed. She started to walk down the mountain followed by Ryak and the others.
40 minutes later
They finally reached the ship. After many complaints from Cameron about his feet, they were finally back. Juno walked into the shuttle with the floating crates. "R6!" Juno called out into the ship. R6 came rolling into the room beeping. "Initiate the ships system startup and activate the engines." She ordered the droid. The droid beeped and rolled into the cockpit. "Come on my Padawan." Juno ordered Ryak. "Yes Master." Ryak said. He turned around and looked at the younglings. "Go to the lounge area and stay there. And be good!" He ordered before walking off.
"Its like they don't trust us." Cameron said. Natalya looked at him with an eye brow raised. "Were younglings, we can get mischievous sometimes. Remember what happened a year ago with Erix and Amber?" Natalya said before walking over to the couches and siting down.
"I still have scars from that week" Erix said rubbing the back of his head. "Yea." Amber agreed while rubbing her shoulder.
Ahsoka chuckled for a moment, then noticed Dylan sitting in the corner, lost in thought. She looked at him with worry in her eyes before walking over to him and sitting next to him.
The shuttle's engines roared as it lifted off the ground and flew off into the dark purple sky.
Tython (Outer Space)
Hench man#8 looked at the scanners of the planet and noticed the Jedi were taking off.
"General! The Jedi are leaving right now!" Hench man#8 yelled.
The ominous leader's lips curled up into a wicked smile concealed beneath his dark hood. "Finally," he thought. He cast a sharp glance over at the soldiers, who stood at attention, awaiting their next commands. "Don't just stand there, ATTACK THE JEDI!" He roared. They scrambled to the guns.
"Soon Jedi, you will fall under my grasp." The Leader thought with greed.
Tython (Atmosphere)
The Shuttle flew through the clouds and about to enter space. "Alright Padawan, how goes the specs?" Juno asked looking over at Ryak.
"All good Master" Ryak said giving her a thumbs up. Juno nodded before looking back out of the shuttle window. She was about to set the coordinates for Coruscant , but she sensed something.
She looked back over to her Padawan, and by the looks of things he sensed it to. "You sense it to right Master?" Ryak asked hesitantly. "Yes I do." Juno said. She was confused. She was sensing Danger, was something chasing them?
Before she could figure it out. The ship jerked forward sending Juno tumbling forward onto the controls. "Kriff!" Juno cursed before getting the controls back up. "What was that!?" Ryak questioned bewildered.
Then it clicked. They were being attacked! It was confirmed when she saw red lazar beams fire past them. "Ryak, we are under attack! That is what we were sensing, it was danger!" She yelled.
"What do we do!?" Ryak scrambed for an ansewer. "Go tell the younglings were under attack, tell them to get buckled in and then go into one of the gun torets and fight back!" Juno ordered why trying to focus to avoid enemy fire.
"Yes Master!" Ryak said before running out of the cockpit.
Meanwhile in the lounge area. The younglings were confused as to what was going on. Ryak came running into the room and before he could speak. "Ryak whats going on!?" Dylan asked confused.
"Were under attack! Master Xelari wants every one of you to buckle in and stay were you are." Ryak ordered them before running out of the room.
All the younglings scrambled to get the seat buckles. The ship jerked foward, sending Erix tumbling to the ground. "Erix!" Amber yelled. She quickly helped him up and into a seat. "Thanks sis!" Erix said buckling into the seat. "No problem!" Amber said.
Ryak ran towards the end of the ship and climbed down a ladder leading towards a gun turret. He sat down and put on a headset. "Master can you hear me!" Ryak said into the mic. "Yes Padawan, are you in the gun turret?" Juno questioned.
"I am!" Ryak confirmed. He looked out the window and he could see a large black ship following them and was blasting lazars at them. Ryak fired back at the attacker. He missed a few times though. "Dammit." Ryak cursed. He then got an idea. He closed his eyes and summoned the force to his aid, he soon let go. He opened his eyes and shot back at them. He got a hit! One of the attackers gun turrets got blown up by his shot. "I got one!" He yelled triumphed.
"Good Job Padawan, but don't get cocky. We are not out of this yet." Juno warned.
The Jedi shuttle shot out of the atmosphere and into the cold black void of space, of course still being followed by the attacker.
Steam shot out of some pipes in the shuttle. Even in the lounge room which freaked some people. "WHOS ATTACKING US!?" Cameron yelled
"I DONT KNOW!" Dylan yelled back.
"SHOULD WE FIGHT BACK THOUGH?!" Amber questioned.
"PADAWAN RYAK IS FIGHTNING BACK IN A GUN TURRET!" Ahsoka said.
"MAYBE WE CAN HELP?!" Erix suggested.
"WE CANT! MASTER XELARI SAID TO STAY PUT, PLUS HOW WOULD WE HELP. WE WOULD ONLY GET IN THE WAY." Natalya said.
Juno was not exactly the best flyer but she was doing her best. She dodged, she weaved most of the enemy fire. But her luck ran out for a moment, a blaster bolt hit the side of the ship almost sending Juno to the floor. But she managed to stay in her seat.
Due to her being out of it for a moment, the attacker sent a few more blasts at the shuttle which landed near the engine of the ship.
The Jedi Shuttle shuddered and trembled as even more blaster fire rained down upon it from the enemy ship chasing them.
"Darn it, I wish these people would leave us alone!" Ryak yelled as he returned fire on the attackers ship.
"No time for wishful thinking, my young Padawan! We need to jump into hyperspace and fast!" Yelled Juno to her Padawan.
The female Jedi Master quickly turned to look at the red and blue astromech droid next to a computer. "R6, is the ship ready for hyperspace?" she asked urgently.
R6 emitted a series of affirming whistles and beeps. "Great! Set the coordinates for Coruscant and fast!" the Female Jedi directed as she skillfully navigated the ship to evade incoming fire.
Dylan, Ahsoka, Cameron, Erix, Amber, and Natalya sat close to each other, feeling nervous after the ship was hit by an assault of blaster fire. Would they make it through this alive? OR NOT!
"Are we going to make it!?" Cameron asked nervously. "I am sure we will. I have hope," Dylan said, still frightened but confident they would make it out alive.
"That does not really give me confidence dude!" Cameron yelled frightened.
The mysterious attacker flew their ship closer.
"Come on, jump into hyperspace!" The Padawan said as tried to fight back in a gun turret.
Closer
"Come on"
Closer
"COME ON"
And Closer
"MASTER!" the Padawan shouted, struggling to push the attacker back within a gun turret.
The attacker launched a missile toward the Jedi Shuttle and hit the hyperdrive... right before they entered hyper space.
Sorcerers of Gora ship
Henchman #20 noticed that they had escaped into Hyperspace and turned pale. "Um, Sire? They entered hyperspace! The Jedi have escaped," he said, fearing the Leader's potential reaction.
But surprisingly, he did not look angry, a little annoyed. But not angry. "Well, it's good that I had a backup plan," he said with satisfaction.
The leader's second-in-command looked over at the general with confusion. "What do you mean, General?" he asked, confused.
"One of the explosives we sent secretly has a tracker on it. So we will know which planet they land on," said the Leader with narrowed eyes.
The second-in-command couldn't help but notice a flaw in his plan. "But, sire, they will probably land on Coruscant! It's highly likely!" he said.
The leader's lips curled into a menacing grin, his eyes glinting with sinister intent. "That may be true," he remarked, his voice filled with malice, "but rest assured, they will never make it to Coruscant."
