The Gathering

3RD Person

Axle and Ahsoka are on Coruscant about to escort younglings to Ilum for their trial, The Gathering. They walk toward the ship before the younglings arrive. "I remember when we were younglings. How we would create our first lightsabers taking our first steps toward apprenticeship." Axle said. "And I remember when you and the others wouldn't shut up about which master you would be assigned to." Ahsoka mocked as she gave a smirk toward him. Axle chuckled, "Yea...I kind of regret that." Ahsoka rolled her eyes and laughed.

The younglings ran onto the platform. "What is The Gathering, Padawans?" Petro asked. Ahsoka responded, "The time has come for you to build your own lightsaber." All the younglings started cheering. Axle interrupted them, "Be warned, this task is not easy. It will challenge you in all your weaknesses. Now let's get going." They all boarded the ship and they left the atmosphere. The two Padawans went on the bridge where R2 greeted them. The younglings were in the training room. "Are the coordinates locked buddy?" Axle asked the droid. *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* R2 responded. "Alright make the jump." Axle said as the ship jumped to lightspeed.

"I feel weird. We aren't going to battle for a change." Ahsoka says. "I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts. I'm surprised we were picked for this assignment, but I'll take it." Axle responded. Ahsoka then answered, "Well we have some time before we drop out of Hyperspace. R2, could you go watch the younglings?" R2 gladly exited the cockpit. Ahsoka locked the door. "Let's not do anything too extreme this time. We don't have much time." Axle said. Ahsoka answered, "Agreed, but you said to enjoy it while it lasts so let's have some fun." They both leaned in and kissed each other. Ahsoka then forced Axle into one of the chairs and got on top of him. They kept kissing and hugging as they strip from their clothes

They landed on Ilum and exited the ship. The group soon arrived at the door to the crystal cave. All the younglings were confused. "It's a dead end." Zat said. Axle and Ahsoka gave a smirk to each other then to the younglings. "Younglings outstretch your hands and focus on the force. Together and only together can we enter." Ahsoka instructed. Axle and Ahsoka started to focus on the ice door. The younglings followed and focused on the door. Soon the ice came down revealing an entrance. Axle and Ahsoka turned around and gave another smirk to the younglings who were freaking out. "Let's move before we freeze to death." Axle ordered as he followed Ahsoka inside.

Inside the cave was the Legendary Jedi Grand Master Yoda. The younglings greeted him showing respect to their teacher. Master Yoda explained how they will earn their crystals.

Once the younglings entered the cave, Axle started to meditate. Ahsoka was wondering what he was thinking about. Master Yoda understood Ahsoka's questioning face. "Calm you must be Padawan. Much war you two have been through. Relax you must." Yoda instructed as he started to meditate. Ahsoka understood that they may not have a better time to let their guards down as she sat next to Axle and began to meditate.

After a while, Petro ran through the cave entrance. "Well looks like I'm the first one back with my crystal. That wasn't so hard." Axle and Ahsoka stood up. Master Yoda looked at them then back to the youngling. "Show us." Ahsoka asked. The youngling pulled out his crystal which melted. Yoda, Axle and Ahsoka looked at each other. Yoda responded, "A crystal you have found. Water you have brought." "You must go back and find your crystal." Axle said. Petro was a little worried, "But the door is halfway frozen." "Then you better hurry." Ahsoka says. The youngling runs back into the caves.

Ahsoka went back to meditate, but Axle stared for a second. "Succeed you think they will?" Yoda asked. Axle responded, "I have faith." As he sat back down and closed his eyes.

When all the younglings returned with their crystals, Axle and Ahsoka brought them back to the ship and they left for Coruscant.
