Chapter 5

(Few parts influenced by cuddlyhemmings book, Underestimate Me.)

3rd POV
Ezra wanted to squeal in happiness, but kept quiet. He stood up and picked up the braid from the ground. He stared at it with shock and amazement. He nodded and left the room. Once he was outside, he screamed in excitment. Silently, not wanting to be heard. Ezra felt proud of himself. He made it. All his hard work paid off. Mace Windu came out of the room shortly.

"Thank you so much, Master," Ezra grinned at him. He chuckled.

"You deserve it, young one. I'm proud to call you my apprentice," Mace smiled.

Ezra couldn't help the urge to hug him. Mace was alarmed at first, but he hugged back. Ezra always looked up to him, like a, like a father. Mace has always been there for him. And it seems like he will always be.

"Wait, we will still go on missions together, right?" Ezra pondered. He's been on nearly every mission with Windu.

"I hope we do, General Bridger." Mace Windu responded. Ezra didn't like the way it rolled off the tongue but, he'll get used to it.

"I'm a general now?"

"You've been Knighted. You deserve to be more than a commander in the 187th Legion."

Excitment took over Ezra, "Wait, so that means I have my own battalion? Do you know our specialty?"

"Slow down, Ezra. We still have to discuss the details. You'll get a knew room and get details for your next big steps. This week is a huge change for you, get ready for it," he grabbed Ezra's shoulders.

Mace left after that. He entered the Council and discussed plans for Ezra. Ezra ran down the hall, slowing down whenever he encountered a person. Lucky, he only saw two. He reached his room and sat down on his bed. He clutched his Padawan Braid. Even though excitment was all over his mind. Worriedness swept his conscious.

"I can't do this," Ezra thought out loud.

He's always dreamed about becoming a Knight but, not at this age. He felt to young to take on this many responsibilities at once. Fearless soldiers are going to be in his hands. They will be depending on him for missions, back up plans, leadership. Sure he's done missions with all of that yet, more things are at stake here. Better and smarter people are with him.

He's a general now. He will take on bigger things. Bigger battles. It seemed to much. It was overwhelming. Ezra stood up and placed his braid on the nightstand. He took off his robe and dumped it in his closet. He was getting new clothes tomorrow. Ezra started packing his stuff, putting his personal belongings first.

After two hours of packing, Ezra flopped on the bed. Wanting to get some rest. He felt the pain from his stomach, yet he ignored it. He was to tired to think about it. Slowly, he drifted to sleep.

Ezra woke up in a fright. An alarm went off. He looked to his right and a video went off. It was Obi-wan and he told Ezra information. Saying that he was needed in war in four rotations. Being general of the 34st Elite Corps. Him and Captain Tucker will lead every patrols on foreign planets and in charge of keeping the relationships with the Republic allies.

"This is serious, Ezra. You can do this, you have all the right training. Contact me if there's any trouble," the message closed.

Ezra sat up and hung his head low. He breathed deeply and gave himself a pep talk. He glanced at his windows with blinds. Little light coming from the outside. Ezra layed down, he didn't want to get off his bed, he was practically laying on a cloud. After ten minutes he finally got off. He checked his small data-pad in the nightstand.

Only message he's received was from Mace. Saying his new room and things about his battalion. He turned it off and grabbed two boxes. He used the Force to open the door. As Ezra walked down the hallway, he ran into Ahsoka.

"Hey, Ezra. Congrats on becoming Knighted, Master Skywalker told me yesterday," Ahsoka declared. "Anyways, do you need help? Skyguy had to postpone my training lesson."

"Thanks and if you want, sure. I can use a hand, but you don't have to," Ezra shrugged. Ahsoka took one of the boxes Ezra was holding and they went to this new room.

When they got back to the room. A new set of clothes was laying on Ezra's bed. They didn't know who brought it while they were gone, but they didn't care.

"This is going to be useful. Especially once I leave," he examined the clothes. Ahsoka plopped on the bed and grabbed his data-pad.

"Who are you leaving with?" Ahsoka asked, not looking up from the pad.

"With my battalion."

She looked up this time, "Which one?"

"34st Elite Corps," Ezra bragged. She put down the data-pad on the pillow.

"Oh, doesn't that sound good?," Ahsoka singed. "Elite. You're a general of an elite corps."

"Yeah, yeah I am," Ezra sat on the bed. He moved his clothes to the other side.

"Are you excited, General Bridger?"

Ezra cringed at the sound of that. He felt weird hearing those words. However, eventually, he'll have to get used to it. He's going to be called that for the rest of his life.

"Yeah. Just worried I'm going to screw things up," Ezra fumbled with his fingers. Ahsoka scooted to him and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, Ezra. You're gonna be a great general. Just watch. You've practiced so hard and you are respected by them. You give them great back up plans in case anything goes wrong. Just do what you always do and you'll be fine," she comforted him. Ezra smiled. He liked how Ahsoka always believed in him. He hoped to keep it that way.

"Thanks for that. Someday, hopefully, I'll be able to say something like that whenever you're in doubt," Ezra put his hand over hers. Ahsoka grinned.

They continued to move things for the rest of the morning. In the evening, Ezra was going to unpack and work on his new dorm.

~Sorry so many parts were the same. I didn't know what happens after a Jedi gets Knighted. Also, sorry for posting a bit late. I live in an early time than most you guys. I think. As I publish this, it's eight a.m. I don't know if you consider it "early." Anyways, that's all I got to say. Don't forget to vote and comment what you think 😉

Stay Sassy Like Obi-wan!
