"Don't worry, now that we aren't members of the order anymore, and we haven't broken any of the Republic's laws, the Jedi can't touch us." Anakin reassures us as we are sitting down in a cafe next to the space port.

I nod my head, "so what are you going to do now?" I ask him curiously.

"I'm a close friend of the chancellor, with his help I managed to maintain my position as a general of the republic. So I will keep doing what I've been doing." He then smiles, "I will also ask my beloved if she wants to take our marriage public."

Ashoka and I look at him in shock, "Your married?" I ask shocked.

"It's Padme isn't it!" Ashoka demands looking amused.

He nods smiling, for the first time since I've met the man, he looks truly happy. "That's right, Padme and I got married right before the outbreak of the clone wars. Unfortunately, due to the rules of the Order I was forced to hide it, but now, with me leaving the order, we can finally take it public."

Ashoka smiles, it's been a long time since she had seen her master this happy and calm, it seems that being a Jedi had put more pressure on him than she originally thought.

Anakin then turns to me, "What about you? I know you don't really have anywhere to go since you just woke up here and this whole mess with the order, if you want, you could join me, using my pull I could get you a position of commander on my ship if you'd like."

I think about it for a minute before I shake my head, "While your offer is generous, there is still something I'd rather do first. You see, back right before my time, there was a powerful Jedi named, Revan. Revan knew more about the force than any other and surpassed all other Jedi up to his time. Eventually, he went to war against the mandalorians who had risen up against the republic.

After a few grueling years, he defeated the Mandalorians by killing Mandalore the Ultimate, who was their leader, in single combat. After he defeated Mandalore the Ultimate, he hid his helmet to prevent any new Mandalore the Ultimate from being chosen, effectively ending the war.

Later on, Revan fell to the dark side and started a war against the Jedi. Eventually, he was turned back to the light side of the force, and helped to defeat the sith empire he had created. After a few years, he disappeared never to be seen again.

I believe that Revan, returned to the place where he hide Mandalore the Ultimate's helmet and took it, along with all of his knowledge of the force and artifacts to his grave. From what I can remember, during my time in the war, I took every opportunity I had to search for anything related to Revan, but mostly came up empty handed. Now that I am free once again, I want to resume that search." I reply.

Anakin and Ahsoka listened to every single word, after all, most information on the Old Jedi Order and Sith were heavily guarded secrets. Anakin leans back, "Where do you plan on starting this search?"

Well, first I have to make sure that no one's already found it, after all, it's been nearly five millenia. Figuring that out should be easy enough, after all I can just hire a hacker to break into the Jedi files and find out."

Anakin shakes his head, "There's no need to do that."

I look at him curiously, "Does that mean you know something about it?"

He nods his head, during my time in the order I occasionally snuck into the restricted section of the archives when Grandmaster Yoda and Windu were off planet, during my time in there I found this." He reaches into a bag filled with his belongings and pulls out a grey pyramid like stone with glass outlining it.

"This is a holocron left behind by Revan, I found it while searching the archives and found it interesting because of its uniqueness, this seems to be a training holocron that he left behind, it's filled with advanced techniques of lightsaber combat. At the end of the recording, he mentions some information that never made sense to me. The training was extremely beneficial, so I tried to search for more works done by Revan, but this was the only one I could find." Anakin finishes and takes a drink of a Spoktcha he ordered from the waitress.

I nod my head, "So that means that no one's found it yet." Thank you, that saves me quite a lot of work." I reply in gratitude.

Anakin nods, "Here, take it I don't need it anymore." He slides the holocron across the table.

I nod and take the holocron and place it in my backpack. "Thank you Skywalker." This will be of great help.

Anakin nods before he turns to Ashoka, "What about you snips? If you still want it, your position of commander is still open."

She seems to be debating with herself for a few minutes before she also shakes her head, "I'm sorry master, but I'm not yet ready to return to the war yet, I feel like traveling the galaxy and exploring the ways of the force more. Now that I have taken some time and looked at my experiences with the Jedi and the war I feel clouded."

I turn to her, "How about traveling with me?" I ask her, I would not mind having a companion during my travels, especially one who could understand me and my goal. Besides, our goals seem very similar.

She turns to me smiling and nods, "Yah, I think that's what is for the best."

Anakin nods, "I understand." He nods as if he expected that. Standing up he slings his bag over his shoulder and faces us, "The offer still stands for both of you. Also, if you ever need help, don't be afraid to call."

Shoka then stands up and hugs her master, "Thank you master." After she releases him, I walk over and hold out my hand, "Thank you for saving me back in the temple, and for everything else, may the force be with you."

He takes my hand in a spartan handshake and he replies, "And with you." Before turning around and walking off.

I turn to Ashoka with a smile, "Well, you ready?"

She nods, "Sure, but do you even have a ship?"

"No, but I do know where to get one. Come in." We then head over to the spaceport cantina.

she look at me sarcastically, "Really? Here?"

I look at her with a pretend hurt expression, "What? I used to do this occasionally way back when, do you not trust me?"

She snorts and rolls her eyes before gesturing, "Lead on oh wise one."

Chuckling I walk over to the bartender, "I'm looking for someone with a ship to take us offworld, for a price of course, my friend and I here are heading to the outer rim worlds, preferably as close to Mandalore as possible." I ask politely.

She looks me up and down before asking, "Jedi?"

Ashoka steps forward shaking her head, "No, actually we aren't on great terms with the Jedi currently."

She looks us up and down before shrugging, "Eh alright, go sit down at the table over there, I got someone heading out in a few minutes here, I'll see if he wants to take you."

Ashoka and I nd before heading over to the table and sitting down. We spend the next few minutes talking about the Jedi Order and I'm explaining what it was like back in my time, when a loud male voice booms out.

"Ashoka my old friend! I smell profit!"
