the padawans

chapter 2- training with a new friend

*brads perspective*

"my name is Ahsoka Tano".

The name ringed through your head a bit as you tried to remember where you'd heard that name before, as you remembered you were snapped out of your trance by ahsoka. "hello, you there?" she asks looking straight at you, you blinked a couple times then apologised, "i thought i knew you from somewhere", you stated and she looked at you with confusion, "your anakins new padawan right?".

"Yes", the togrutan jedi replied in surprise, "how do you know that?" she asked curiously

"wow your tactics at the battle of christophis was amazing! i overheard anakin talking about you!" you replied

'oh wow, i didn't realise that he talked about me".

She said this with a hint of pride, you asked her where she was going,"oh i'm just wandering, i haven't got much to do," she said, bored,

"well i'm heading to the training room to train with my new master,"you replied simply 

"oh, can i come?" she asked hopefully,

"sure!" you replied with a grin,

as ahsoka began to walk beside you, you headed to the training ground as you talked about whatever came to your mind, she asked who you got as your master and you replied telling her kit fisto nervously, she picked up on your nervousness and commented on it stating "oh there's nothing to worry about, if anything you got lucky, i heard that he's really laid back"                             "oh that's a relief", you said wiping a few nervous drops of sweat from your forehead.

As you reached the training room your master was sitting on a bench, meditating. Without saying a word he opened his eyes, sensing you with the force, "ah brad, you have arrived," he said calmly, "and i see you've brought a friend" he added nodding to ahsoka, (i don't know if he knew ahsoka yet but i'm just gonna pretend he does), "ahsoka, i see you've met my new padawan," he stated, she nodded and took a seat. Your master, without moving asked if you were ready to begin, you nodded grabbing your lightsaber from your belt and igniting the blue blade, finally your master stood up calmly and used the force to pull the lightsaber from his belt, he ignited the emerald green blade and moved to the centre of the room. He quickly explained the exercise you would be doing it was simple, he would say an area of your body and then swing at said area, you would then block it, as he begun he started slowly "up" ,swing, block, "middle"  ,swing, block, "low"  ,swing, block, "up"  ,swing, block, seeing as this was ridiculously easy you decided that no harm would come of a little taunt, as he backed away preparing the next set of moves you smugly stated, "is that the best you can do?" he smirked ,before, without warning, swinging his saber faster then you had ever seen, in seconds your lightsaber flew out of your hand, you were on your knees and a green saber was pointed at your face, "no, that is the best i can do", he stated smugly as you were helped up, you heard ahsoka chuckle as you force pulled the lightsaber back to your hand, your master noticed this and asked her to come up and 'show you how its done'.

As ahsoka stood up you ignited your saber for a second time and she ignited her two green sabers, you quickly realised what you were getting into when you began to clash blades. When you entered a blade lock you were quickly out matched with her two sabers on your one however looking down you noticed an opening, as you kicked at her leg. within seconds she was her knees, dropping one of he lightsabers, you used the force to grab it in your other hand and with a flick of your lightsaber you knocked her second saber out of her confused hand and across the room, before she could realise what was happening you had the two blades at her throat. As you disengaged the sabers you handed hers back and she force pulled the other saber back to her hand, walking away with a confused look on her face still contemplating what just happened.

you noticed your master looking at you with a grin on his face, he congratulated you, and you began the exercise again, progressively getting faster. Eventually you decide to taunt again but this time you were ready, this time you were able to block every hit and he looked at you with a hint of pride. he disengaged his blade and placed it back on his belt and you did the same, "dismissed" he simply said you gave a quick bow witch he copied before you walked out with ahsoka following behind you. As you walked out your stomach let out a growl, to your embarrassment, "you hungry ahsoka?" you asked, 

"yeah a bit" she replied "but not nearly as much as you" she added smugly,

"yeah well at least i didn't get destroyed in a duel"you replied,

"you got lucky!" she said defensively,

you both began to laugh, as you headed towards the cafeteria.
