Back on the Crucible, All the younglings were at hard work forging their saber hilts. The ancient architect droid Professor Huyang was also busy at work. Like the ancient droid has done for thousands of years, and over a million of times. Helping future jedi young and old constructing their saber hilts.
When the five us of returned from the Ilum caves everyone was surprised by our crystals. The younglings and masters, were amazed at our crystals. Especially the ones me and Anakin had.
Master Fay looked at Derrens crystal in amazement. "Youngling Derren, your cystal is so pure white. No kyber crystal has ever been found like this on Ilum. It shows how at peace you are. So at peace you are free of corruption."
"Thank you master, I'm still surprised myself I found it." Derren said
Yoda look at Barriss 's crystal with curiosity." Unique your crystal is youngling Offee. Rare your color is, not yet seen this green color I have. But strong in the Force I can feel from you when you hold it."
Barriss nodded with a smile. "Thank you master."
Shaak Ti approached Seris as her crystal glowed in the light. It's Golden yellow light radiated across the crystal like a sun. "Youngling Seris, I never seen a radiant crystal like yours before. I feel like it fits you well."
Seris had a calm expression on her face. But her twitching ears gave away how happy she truly was. "Thank you master I appreciate the words of praise. I hope to not let you down."
Shaak Ti smiled. "Child I believe you won't."
Obi-wan stood next to Anakin, curious on what to say. "Well Anakin I will admit, I am surprised. I new there was a possibility with, your strength in the force and abilities of something like this. A indigo crystal is extremely rare. Especially one that looks alive with power like yours does. It shows your inner struggle."
Obi-wan placed a hand on Anakin's shoulder. I'm here for you Anakin and I believe in you just like Qui-Gon did. Do not be afraid to lean on me for guidance."
Anakin smiled. "Thank you Obi-wan. But I'm fine truly. I think this reflects my power in the Force. A constant struggle but one I meant to overcome every time." Then Anakin looked to Cain and the others. "And I'm not alone, I have them by myside."
Obi-wan had a proud smile on his face. "Well said Anakin Qui-Gon would be proud to hear that. And he'd be even prouder to see how much your growing as person."
"Thank you Master."
Obi-wan ruffled Anakin's hair. "I'm not your Master yet." The two chuckled.
As we began boarding the Crucible. Huyang came out to greet us a good return. He sounded just like David Tenant (The 10th Doctor, from Doctor Who.)
Huyang noticed my crystal. "My my I haven't seen a kyber crystal like this before."
I nodded. "Yeah I never read about a crystal like this."
"That's not unusual, certain individuals over my time gotten unique color crystals. It's honestly more rarer then a high midichlorian count. It's extremely to find one with both. Your the second person I seen with a rare crystal and a high force connection." Huyang said.
"Who was the other person?" I asked.
"The Mandalorian Jedi, Tarre Vizsla."
My eyes opened wide. "Wait what?" I said.
"I said Tarre Vizsla, youngling Cain. Now I don't remeber his midichlorian count, but I was told at the time it was very high. He didn't get his kyber crystal from Ilum. But he did come to me for guidance on how to construct his saber hilt. Which to this day is one of the finest blades I have ever seen. A true only one of it's kind. An no jedi after have been able to recreate the saber he made."
I looked at my crystal even more surprised after hearing that. I wonder what my color represents.
Back on the Crucible. As the everyone finished build their hilts. we started to ignite our saber blades. Anakin and Derren went for a standard single-bladed hilt. While Anakins was bulky, Derrens was slightly skinnier. Derrens pure white saber brighten up the ships haul. Anakins blade came to life with indigo and a dark hue. I could also see faint streaks of white indigo lightning flickered around his saber.
Next was Barris and Seris. Barriss chose a single blade hilt like the others. Its was a sleek design with runic engravings. While Seris chose a curved-hilt. Hers had a elegant and sleek design. It looked fragile to the touch, but knowing Seris is only went to show her perfectionist nature.
It was like she was saying. Only a true duelist makes something great happened with less. Then Barriss and Seris ignited their sabers. Jade green and, a bright goldish yellow came to life. The two displayed elegance, grace and radiant harmony, just standing there.
Finally was me. At first I couldn't figure out the design of my saber hilt. I was gonna originally go for a single blade hilt, but I also preferred curved hilts as well. I didn't want to not complete my hilt, because I couldn't choose one. To be honest as basic as it sounded. I preferred the dark saber hilt. The katana like blade and hilt spoke to the anime nerd in me. But I instead went for the second best option, until I found the materials I needed to remake my blade.
I used the force and constructed my curved hilt. The design was a mixture of black and sleek design. When I ignited it a bright goldish yellow color appeared, but like Anakin's, it had a shadowy black hue.
Plo Koon approached me. " In all my years I have never seen anything so radiant and mysterious at the same time. I believe you quite a unique case youngling Cain."
"What do you mean master Plo?"
"Time and time again you have surprised the council and the Jedi order. An now you discovered a new kyber crystal color. You may not be the chosen one, but you are something the order cannot simply judge as special or unique. You might be something we cannot begin to comprehend." The Kel Dor master said in a wise tone.
I started blushing. That honestly surprised me. I never expected Plo Koon, to be so direct. "Thank you master I appreciate the words of praise. I will do my best to not let you down."
"Do not worry youngling Cain, I believe in you regardless." Plo said, while placing a hand on my shoulder.
In my opinion Plo koon is one of the best characters in the Clone Wars era series. On top of being a amazing duelist, a great leader, and one of the most compassionate Jedi masters on the council. He's a Kel Dor. Their people are also know as the Baran Do Sages. In my opinion they are better then jedi order. In matters of listening to the Force ,and following it's will. The Jedi has lost the title of servants of the Force a very long time ago .
Honestly I would prefer if Plo was the Grandmaster of the Jedi order. Yoda is to complacent. Not to mention if Plo was attacked by his clones during order 66 while he was on the ground. I believed he would have destroyed the clone troopers no problem.
That's when Master Yoda spoke up. "Younglings, completed the Gathering, and formed your lightsabers you have. Now on to the next step in your training you are. Padawan trials ready you are.
The five of us looked at each other with excitement on our faces. I new we were ready this. Anakin new saber color was a sign of the changes that were being made. I just hope I'm doing the right thing. No. I know I'm doing the right thing.
