4 | Haunting Past

Thrawn's Doing

"You're back." A female voice said looking up from practicing with the training droid.

"I need to let some anger out, mind if we practice?" Tekara asked her.

"I would kill you if you didn't." She joked, but there was a hint of truth in that statement.

Tekara pulled out his red blade and ignited it. "Ready to be destroyed." He threatened her and struck ready position.

"Not if I destroy you first." She said coldly, pulling out her own red blade.

Tekara struck first aiming high and she blocked it. He struck again, harder and she blocked it. Soon they were deep into the fight and the galaxy and all his memories seemed to disappear. Tekara drew from his anger of the past, what he has to do in the upcoming future and the depressing truth of the present as he struck an old friend with his red saber and she blocked it. Someone who he remembered now from his past, someone who's pains and sorrows are far from over. He quickly was able to then knock the saber out of her hand, with force that he didn't even know he had and she looked up at him surprised and impressed.

He placed the saber at her neck. "That's your head, Kalna."

She looked at him angry and annoyed that she lost, again.

"You have to teach me that, but I will beat you." She said, coldly. "Rematch, Tekara?"

"Will do, Kalna, but you have to put more hate into it." He advised.

"I'll try." She protested and picked up her saber. "But you know I don't have much to draw from."

There was cons with Thrawn controlling Kalna's memory. He didn't give her any new memories or let her keep any of her old ones for a reason. Thrawn wanted to keep her weak, but strong enough so she could serve him well. It was hard to get her to draw hate and anger when she didn't have much to draw from, at least when he didn't remember his old life, Thrawn at least gave him anger to draw from.

Tekara really wasn't in the mood for this again, he just couldn't believe that he could remember everything when no one he know could, not his friends, not his family, not even his co-workers. "I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO DRAW FROM!" He snapped and yelled, igniting his saber once more.

Kalna took a step back and prepared to ignite her own saber, but he didn't give her a chance before Tekara force pulled the saber out of her hand.

"I'M JUST DOWN WITH ALL THIS SITH AHSOKA!" He yelled and before Kalna knew it the saber slashed one of her lekku. She collapsed as she started to bleed. "I'VE TRIED SO HARD WITH YOU. YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE."

"It's not my fault I don't remember." She muttered, confused at the name he called her and got up. "And I don't have to listen to a teenager either." She walked out the door, dripping blood headed to a medic bay.

"Ahsoka wait..." He whispered and collapsed to the ground, his anger gone now. "I'm sorry."

>•<

"So what happened with Ahsoka Tano, she was a pain trying to kidnap." Sebrin asked Thrawn from her seat in his command center.

"Well thanks to you I was able to turn Tano, her resistance was admirable, but in the end futile." He said, examining a battle plan at his desk.

"That's good I almost got killed trying to kidnap her." Sebrin complained.

"I'm glad you didn't die." Thrawn answered.

"Do you have my change of clothes?" Sebrin asked, rather embarrassed, she was still wearing some of Kanan's old clothes and they were a bit big.

"In the closet." He answered without looking up.

"Thanks." She said and walked off to change.
