The wounds on Shak were not really serious, he was still able to stand and move his body, but some were deep that caused him great suffering, he was strong at dueling, but the force was weak with him. During the traavel time to Coruscant he remembered when he was with his father, how he used the force and told him that the greatest jedi was an old man called Master Yoda, he didn't want to see this jedi, it could be defying for him to meet a Jedi, even both had the same goal, well kind of, there was still many things that differ them, either on philosophy and the way of seeing things. Shak never had in his mind the idea of keeping peace, he had just an ambicion of growing in power and destroying everything that harmed or get on his way, jedi think different, the are peace makers, they don't kill, and never seek vengance because of their philosophy of the darkside, Shak was always in mind that he could control the darkness inm him, that it would never take over him, but soon enough the darkness could be able to rise and do what all by its will.

Finally after a long time Shak arrived to Coruscant and headed to a small medical center on the Underworld on floor 125, there a Trandoshan had a medical droid that cared of Shak for some amount of credits and efficiently treated his wounds. Shak got the credits from Brother Viscuz on Dathomir as part of a gift, he gave all he had for his medication, but now that left him totally poor and with nothing to eat, everything he was given was lost in his Dathomirian ship that was destroyed by Grievous on Serrenno.

After being completely healed, Shak wandered around in the Underworld looking for somewhere that he could find anything to keep himself alive but it seemed that nothing would happen to him. All the time Shak mind was only concentrated on his battle against the Darth Sidious, he knew that Coruscant was now the safest place for him, in any other system he could be in danger on being attacked by any sith or an ally that could have a chance against him.

Back on Serrenno Darth Sidious and Dooku are talking about what happened about Shak, Sidious was dissapointed that Dooku failed too soon against Shak and was nearly about to die, Dooku apologized but Sidious still had in mind that Dooku was now too old for battle and that he should consider on having a new apprentice, someon younger and stronger, someone that is prepared and stronger with the force than any other living. Dooku told Sidious after a time that the ship where Shak came from was from Dathomir, he proposed him that maybe he was sent by Mother Talzin in another attempt to defeat him. Sidious knew that Darth Maul wasn't anymore on Dathomir so he could easily send Grievous back to Dathomir and kill every one of Maul's tribe so he can show Shak the power of the sith, so he said Dooku to contact Grievous and tell him to send a fleet to Dathomir to extinguish all life in there, if Shak ever comes back, he would find his whole tribe dead. Dooku left the room to contact Grievous, Sidious stayed still looking through the window thinking of how Shak's power will increase and that he should put his plans into action now before the he or the jedi could strike at the sith. After a time Darth Sidious left the palace and returned to Coruscant were he would be putting in action his plan.

Long time passed for Shak while he wandered around the Underworld, there was no hope for him, not like the last time that he found Ventress. He wandered more until he found a young girl with orange skin buying something at a small market, he could notice at a distance that she carried a lightsaber with her, maybe she was a force-wielder or maybe someone who stole a lightsaber from a jedi or sith. He needed to know, so he approached her and stole from her the fruit and ran, the girl chased him through the Underworl until they reached an empty house. She enetered and saw Shak playing eith the fruit in the other end of the room, she took out a lightsaber and asked to give back the fruit, Shak threw the fruit at him and started to make questions like who was she? and if she was a jedi or something?, the girl asked why, but Shak insited her to answer or she won't leave, and so he closed the door behind her with the force and locked it. The girl looked at him, and a long time passed and no one talked, until Shak took out one of lightsaber and said ïf you don't talk then you are useles for me", he approached and swing his lightsaber attmpting tgo hurt he but she defended and apparently she had two white lightsaber, he engaged her with no difficulty but then he threw her to the floor and put the lightsaber away and asked "Now would you answer or not jedi?", the girl starred for a time and then answered, she didn't say her name but she did say that she was a jedi that left the order because she couldn't trust them. Shak did told her his name and told her that he needed a master to teach him about the force, she asked why and he told her about what happened in Serrenno and his father, but he invented that then he was rescued by another jedi that trained him and that he died on Serrenno against Count Dooku. The girl starred and asked for something in return, so Shak promised that if she trained him, he would also teach him more about dueling so she could stand against greater enemies, the girl agreed and told him to follow her to her refuge where she would teach him to meditate and everything about the force.

When they arrived Shak starred around, it was only a small room, not too big nor too small, it was just the perfect side and in one side there was a bed where the girl rested. The girl sat on the middle on the room and told Shak to sit, Shak asked her that he should call her by a name, so she said that he should just call her "master", he sat down and then the girl said "I didn't complete my trainning as a jedi, so I can teach you that much about the force, but at least I can teach you to meditate and connect with the force so you can learn from it", Shak agreed and the girl told him to close his eyes and started to teach him to meditate.

Through the year Shak learned a lot about the force, also the girl told him about jedi holocrons and the teachings that they contain, also she told him about the exitsance of sith holocrons, but she knew almost nothing about them. Shak did teach her to battle and made her stronger and stronger through the year, Shak was becoming more powerful with the force and was able to somehow start to unlock a new power with the force, something that made him able to use the midiclorians for slowing his growth and made him older in a more slower way giving him more years, but he never told the girl about that, Shak had all the intention to learn morre about the force and to become stronger and unlock all the secrets that the force hide within.
