Chapter 16: Back To Face The Past
Y/N's P.O.V
I walk back into the Jedi Temple and go back over to the same door.
It'll lead me to the room where I saw Aalya.
BD-2: (Beeps?)
Y/N: It's gonna be okay, BD. Thanks, for coming with me.
BD-2: (Happily beeps.)
I smile.
Y/N: I know, buddy.
I open the door and walk through it.
When I get inside the room goes dark. And BD disappears.
Just then I see my vision of Aalya step out of the shadows.
Y/N: Aalya.
Aalya: I am surprised you returned. I don't know whether you're a fool or just naive. You were wrong to return here unarmed.
Y/N: I'm not unarmed.
I pull out my lightsaber.
Aalya: You think that lightsaber proves you a Jedi?
Y/N: No. Facing you. Memories that have hunted me since Corellia. I won't run from it anymore.
Aalya: Let's see what manner of death your courage brings.
She ignites her lightsaber and I do the same.
Our purple and blue blades light up the room.
We clash blades.
I'm mainly staying on defence though.
She and I lock blades.
Aalya: Your skills are impressive, but is power the answer?
I break away and step back.
After that I deactivate my saber.
Y/N: No.
Aalya comes at me and goes to kill me, but her blade stops just above my head.
Y/N: Auntie Aalya. I will never forget what happened that day. The loss has become a part of me. Just know I will honor your legacy and your sacrifice.
She stands up right and deactivates her saber.
After that she turns and walks away.
Aalya: Remember, the force will be with you, young Padawan.
She disappears as the door behind her opens up.
Light comes back to the room.
BD-2: (Beeps.)
Y/N: Yeah, I did it. Let's check this out.
I go towards the door and take a look inside.
I look around.
Y/N: No-one's been here for a long time.
BD-2: (Beeps?)
Y/N: I don't know, BD.
I look up ahead to see a podium at the end of the walkway.
Y/N: What's that?
I go over to the podium and see some old books.
Y/N: Okay, I wasn't expecting books.
I pick one up and open it.
It shows me some old lightsaber techniques.
My eyes widen.
Y/N: These are Jedi texts.
I smile.
Y/N: Man, Kanan's never gonna believe this.
I grab all the books.
Y/N: Come on, BD. Let's get back to the Ghost.
BD-2: (Happily beeps.)
I chuckle.
Y/N: Yeah, it is kinda creepy in here.
He and I leave the room.
(Twenty minutes later)
I make it back to the Ghost.
When I get there I see Sabine and Kanan outside.
Sabine: You're back. You okay?
Y/N: Yeah, I'm great.
Kanan: What you got there?
Y/N: Something that's gonna surprise you. Let's get inside and I'll show you.
We go into Ghost.
Kanan and I sit in the lounge.
We're going through the Jedi texts.
Kanan: Man, I can't believe you found these.
Y/N: Had a feeling you'd like this.
Kanan: These are Jedi techniques that haven't been used in decades.
Y/N: I'm thinkin' that we can learn from this.
He nods.
Kanan: So do I. And when Jacen is old enough, he can learn from it too.
Y/N: Very true. Do you think there are other Jedi texts out there too?
Kanan: Maybe. The Jedi archives on Coruscant have been destroyed, but there could be more out there in Jedi Temples that the Empire doesn't know about.
Just then Hera comes in.
Hera: Guys, we've got a mission.
Kanan: What is it?
Hera: We're needed on Kashyyyk. The Wookiees need help there.
Y/N: I didn't know the Empire was even on Kashyyyk.
Kanan: Oh, they are.
Y/N: Well, if the Wookiees need our help, then we need to go and help them.
Kanan: Yeah, we do.
Hera: Okay. I'll set a course to Kashyyyk.
She leaves the room.
I look at Kanan as I can feel him staring at me.
Y/N: What?
Kanan: I think facing your past was the best thing for you. You're starting to sound like a true Jedi.
I stand up.
Y/N: Yeah. I had a good teacher.
He smiles.
Kanan: Thanks.
After that we leave and go to the cockpit.
I faced my face and overcame it.
I guess that means I'm one step closer to becoming a Jedi.
(A/N: Sorry for the short chapter.)
