I still can't believe James Earl Jones is dead, it's so heartbreaking!

Meet the Apprentice

One day Lita was training with Quinlan Vos. He was teaching her the reverse grip variant of Form V. Quinlan already knew Lita went through learning the seven lightsaber forms with Vader, but he wanted to help her with finding her own lightsaber fighting form, but knew it would most likely be something aggressive especially since he knew that Lita was intune with the dark side, despite her trying to hold back from it before.

As they continued with lightsaber training the sixteen year old girl was thinking of her father and was expressing interest in finding a way to save her father.

"Master," Lita spoke up, "I know I still have a lot to learn, but I can't stop thinking of finding a way to save my father."

"I understand Lita," Quinlan said, "My sources tell me that your father will be heading for Malachor."

"Malachor? For Sith business?" Lita asked.

"Most likely," Quinlan answers. "As Malachor is one of the Sith planets."

Lita was just about to tell her master to tell him for them to go there. But she sensed something
familiar that got her attention and turned around and saw Ezra Bridger, who also saw her.

"Again? Why is this happening?" Lita asked.

"Lita?" Ezra said shocked, "Are you okay? Were you able to find out what happened to your family?"

"Yeah I'm fine," Lita answers, "And yes I did find out what happened to them it's kind of a long story and I'm not sure if right now is the best time to tell you."

"Are you with Vader again?" Ezra asked.

"Actually I'm with somebody else," Lita replies, "But don't worry he's good. Are you okay?"

"Aside from failing to connect with the krykna, I'm doing fine," Ezra answers.

"Oh those creatures are highly sensitive to negative emotions, which make them extremely difficult to tame with the Force," Lita replies, "Not to mention they're resistant to blaster bolts."

"Yeah I'm getting that idea already," Ezra said with annoyance, "Part of me feels like I never understood the Force to begin with."

"I understand the feeling. I felt the same way when I first started training with my father," Lita replied. "I guess there's so much about the Force than we realize."

"Ezra we have to go," Kanan's voice called.

"Sorry Lita, but I have to go," Ezra said.

"Ezra wait," Lita called out, but their connection had ended.

"I see you have a friend," Quinlan's voice spoke up.

Lita turned his attention to Quinlan, for a few moments she forgot that he was still there.

"Uh yes Master," Lita replies, "I-I had this strange force connection with him before, but I don't know why that is."

Quinlan gave a smile and explained, "There's a unique and very rare ability where two Force-sensitive users have a unique Force-bond that's unbreakable. Usually it's for ones who have equal power in the Force, but it seems the connection you share with this boy is slightly different."

"Different how?" Lita asked.

"Is it possible that this boy is also naturally intune with the dark side too?" Quinlan asked.

"I'm not sure," Lita answers, "Maybe?"

"I see," Quinlan answered.

"Master we have to go to Malachor," Lita insists.

"I don't know if it's a good idea Lita," Quinlan says with slight reluctance, "It might not be safe for you."

"Please Master," Lita begs, "If my father is heading there, we have to go there too if we can find a way to save him. I know I still have a lot to learn, but I'll do whatever I have to to save my father."

Quinlan gave a chuckle at Lita's determination and surrenders, "Okay, but promise me when we get there you'll stay close to me."

"I'll try to," Lita promises, "But you know anything can happen when we get there."

Quinlan gave a smile, "That's true. Okay we'll leave for Malachor after we finish training."

After they finished their lightsaber training, Lita and Quinlan, along with Rori and D3PO were getting ready to leave for Malachor.

"Master, how much do you know about Malachor?" Lita asked.

"It's always been off limits to Jedi," Quinlan answered.

"Why? Because it's a Sith planet?" Lita questions.

"Yes, but it's also because of old legends. Stories that were told to us in the temple as younglings," Quinlan explains. "And there's always a bit of truth in legends."

The four of them then went into hyperspace as they left Jedha and headed for Malachor.

After a while, they came out of hyperspace and they saw a planet that looked like a barren, rocky hellish wasteland.

"Malachor here we are," Lita said.

"Oh I have a bad feeling about this," D3PO said in a scared tone.

"Calm down Threepio," Lita said, "We'll be fine."

A few moments later D3PO spoke up again. "Pardon me Mistress Lita, but I do believe I see another ship," D3PO states looking out at the window.

"Another ship? Can you make out what it is?" Lita asked.

"It looks to be a modified VCX-series auxiliary starfighter," D3PO replied.

Lita then sensed a familiar presence. "Ezra," she whispers and then says, "I wonder what they're doing here."

"It looks like we'll find out soon," Quinlan said seeing the ship as well.

After they landed on Malachor it wasn't too long when the other ship had landed as well. Lita and Quinlan noticed Chopper in his compartment.

"Hi Chopper," Lita greeted the old astromech droid. Chopper greeted back with his usual beeping. From what Lit a remembered of her lessons with D3PO it sounded like he was asking what they were doing here. Lita smiles and said, "It's good to see you too."

When the other ship opened they saw Ezra with Kanan and a female togruta.

"Ezra!" Lita shouted running up to him and hugging him. But then she let go feeling a little awkward and rubbed the back of her neck, "Um sorry."

"No, don't be it's fine," Ezra said reassuringly.

Quinlan chuckles, "So is this your friend?"

"Yes, I guess you could say that," Lita said still feeling awkward, then she decided she should introduce her now master. "Um Ezra this is-" But Kanan interrupted her.

"Quinlan? Quinlan Vos, you're alive?" Kanan said in amazement and surprise.

"I see you have too Caleb," Quinlan said clapping a hand on the younger Jedi's shoulder, "You look worse for wear, but still good."

Ezra and Lita looked at each other. "Caleb?" They said in unison.

Kanan sighs and explains, "It's the name I was born with before I changed it to Kanan Jarrus when I went into hiding from the Empire."

"And you two know each other?" Lita questions looking between her master and Ezra's.

"I met him a few times when he was still a padawan," Quinlan explains.

Lita then looks over at the female togruta and asks her, "And who are you?"

"I'm Ahsoka, Ahsoka Tano," the togruta introduces herself.

Lita narrows her eyes at her in suspicion until Ezra speaks up, "Don't worry, she's with us."

"Okay," Lita said, "I trust your word Ezra." She then says to Ahsoka, "Hello Ahsoka, I'm Lita."

"Nice to meet you Lita," Ahsoka said.

"Same here," Lita said. But as they shook hands Lita couldn't help but sense there was more to Ahsoka Tano, but she wasn't sure why.

In the next chapter, Lita meets Darth Maul. Until then, May the Force be with You!
