Chapter 11 - Chapter 10: Guard Duty

(A/n: sorry for the delay I wasn't feeling well. Enjoy the chapter!)

***********************************

It was a week since my sparring match with Ahsoka.

She really is a prodigy that is overlooked, and Skywalker was truly a brilliant teacher despite his faults.

Ahsoka was 14 when the Clone Wars started, or well when she became Skywalker's Padawan that is.

And in three years she had gained enough combat experience and training to defeat someone like Darth Maul.

Effectively making Ahsoka outclass virtually 99% of the Jedi Order. 

That 1% was one hundred Jedi out of the ten thousand.

Even then Ahsoka at that point might even be in the top 50.

She really is a difficult opponent with how nimble and agile she is, which made her perfect to learning under Skywalker, who primarily uses Ataru.

Quite ironic that Darth Vader in the non-cannon timeline also taught Galen Marek aka the Cheat Code of Star Wars aka Starkiller, in the double lightsaber reverse grip and in Ataru just like Ahsoka.

And both of them became them became the best of the best.

Darth Maul defeated both Count Dooku and General Grievous, later he fought both of them at the same time alongside Mother Talzin against the duo and Palpatine.

Maul became a potential threat to him as well.

Maul has been an even match for Obi-Wan, and even dominated him at the beginning, but due to plot armour, Kenobi would survive and would adapt and learn to combat Maul and Savage over time making them evenly matched.

Jedi Master Luminara was effortlessly beaten by Ventress meanwhile Ahsoka could handle her own against the Sith Assassin early on.

The feats simply don't stop since they are all interconnected.

(A/n there is the explanation why mc lost to her, also he is holding back, if he was going for the kill then it's possible he can kill her. This story is going to be more balanced, too many fics abuse force user Mc's and make them too op or too weak. This MC is more like if one of us from real life genuinely gets transmigrated into Star Wars and not a plot fulfilment story but pure chance and randomness, i even rolled the dice for MC's current circumstances and rebirth.)

As for me, I was currently studying various martial arts across the Galaxy in the Grand Archives. Earth fighting styles I knew in my old life was useful, but in Star Wars I have access to an entire Galaxy's worth of fighting styles that utilise my natural weaponry and are far superior to what I knew.

I looked down at the Holo-Pad i had when I suddenly smelled a familiar scent enter the area.

"There is knowledge here more than anywhere else in the galaxy." My enhanced hearing heard the old voice of Jocasta Nu, the Head Librarian.

"Master Kenobi says there are even texts here that are forbidden to be read." The familiar voice Ahsoka was clearer than the Head Librarian.

'So that's the smell. It seems Ahsoka is being punished with guard duty due to her recklessness of Felucia. Which can only mean the first episode of season 2 has started. Cad Bane will be stealing a Holocron.'

I pondered my thoughts as Master Kit Fisto entered the Holocron Vault.

'This could be the perfect opportunity to prove myself and get rid of this collar.'

Ahsoka Pov

"Can we go inside?" I asked out of curiosity to Madam Jocasta, as I saw Master Fisto enter the Holocron Vault.

To my question, she shook her head in refusal. 

"Oh, I'm afraid not, my dear. I haven't been inside myself for years. Only members of the Jedi Council are allowed access. Guarding the Holocrons is one of the most important duties a Jedi can be given, Ahsoka. Do you think you're up to the task?"

"Definitely." I confidently replied as I walked behind following her.

After a few turns around some corners, I saw Daud sitting at a table with some Holo-Pads scattered in front of him.

"Madam Jocasta, may I take my leave for a brief moment?" 

"No need to tell me my dear, I will leave you to your business, you can continue your duties after speaking to your friend." She replied, as she sneaked a glance towards Daud, then back to me.

"I-how did-" I stammered out.

"Come now, I was young once too." She chuckled as she waved goodbye, walking away.

I blushed in embarrassment, but that was cut short as a pair of hands grasped my shoulders and I yelped in surprise.

"Eep!"

"…oh…my…God…did you just 'Eep', that is so cute!" Daud's words echoed in my ear right beside me.

I turned around, cheeks completely red as I grabbed him by his collar "why you-"

"Come come now, that's no way to act for a guard…is it?"

"I swear I'll make you pay…" I muttered quietly clenching my fists.

"We both know that's impossible, I'll just avoid whatever you try to pull and prank you harder. Remember the time when I snuck a Loth-Cat into your room and it-"

"Daud!"

Elsewhere Pov:

Within an apartment building in a lower district of Coruscant, blue-skinned Humanoid, with two tube like apparatuses went from the back and to both side of the cheeks.

As he wore leather clothing similar to an outlaw & cowboy straight out of the Wild-West. 

The most noticeable feature was the large hat he wore on his head.

All these features and characteristics were specific to one specific individual in the Galaxy.

The current best Bounty Hunter, Cad Bane.

A position previously held by his now deceased mentor and rival, Jango Fett.

In the corner of the room on a table, a hologram flared to life, revealing a hooded figure.

"Excuse the interruption. As I was saying, bounty hunter, I have need of your services."

"I'm listening." Cad Bane replied as he flung a toothpick he was holding away, as he turned around from the window to look at the client.

"I need a Jedi holocron."

"To get a holocron, I'd have to break into the Jedi Temple. It's impossible, not to mention deadly." Cad Bane replied, making each point stand out as he slowly walked towards the hologram of the Client.

A trick to easily empathise the difficulty of the mission to coerce the client for more rewards.

"Perhaps your reputation has been exaggerated." However, the client was well aware of his tactic and wasn't blunt in harming the Ego of the notorious Bounty Hunter.

"I want a Rogue-class starfighter with elite weapons, cloaking device, the works. Oh, and triple my usual rate." Bane demanded in a…charming and polite manner, as he sat down on the chair, pulling his legs up onto the table in a casual way.

"Your price is of no concern."

"I will also provide you with the means to get inside the Temple. There is one other matter, but this is a bonus if you are able to achieve it, I will give a separate additional payment. However, the Holocron is the priority."

"You've got a deal."
