"You are with me. I am with you."

"Always one, but born as two."

Ascension is about walking through fear.

It is about sacrificing a part of yourself.

I want to be a Jedi, Mama. I do.

We must let them test the girls.

And what happens if the Jedi discover how you created them?

I won't let it happen.

- Osha! - Mae!

No!

I got you.

Mae started a fire that killed her entire family.

Mama! Mama!

The Jedi got what they deserved.

They invaded our home.

Have you told me everything that happened on Brendok?

You were very young.

Hello? Is anybody there? Can you hear me?

Identify yourself.

My name is...

Oh, Mae.

I've had 16 years to think about what I would say to you.

So you're going to listen.

Right there. Right there.

You must eat, Padawan.

I'm not hungry.

It's unwise to insult a Wookiee's cooking.

I'm just sick of eating Nuna legs.

And I want to go home to Coruscant.

I know. But we're on a mission.

We've been here for seven weeks.

And there's no one here,

and if we were going to find something, we probably would've found it by now.

A hundred years ago, this planet was catalogued as lifeless

because of a hyperspace disaster.

Yet this planet, Brendok, is thriving.

So there's some plants here. Big deal.

Calm yourself, Padawan.

Do not center around your anxieties.

Well, if only I knew that what we were doing

was somehow important or meaningful...

We are looking for a vergence.

What's a vergence?

A concentration of Force energy centered around a location.

A vergence could create life like what we see on this planet.

It's a power that should be studied.

Protected.

Nothing could be more important to the Jedi.

This is a noble mission.

My Padawan is too distracted to appreciate the significance of a vergence.

Nor are we sure that it's the cause of life on Brendok.

He was disturbed. Unbalanced.

You were disturbed.

Do not confuse Torbin's feelings with your own.

I do not tell him answers to ease his mind.

I teach him to seek the answers for himself.

You disagree?

That's why I have a Padawan

and you do not.

We'll split up then.

Sol, follow the river.

We haven't covered the Northlands yet.

- Meet us back at the camp. - Okay.

Mae?

How did you know I was here?

When I can't find you, I look here.

The bunta tree's so beautiful.

Let it go, Mae!

Stop!

Why do you always have to do things like that?

Why do you always run off alone?

"You are with me. I am with you."

Oshie!

"I am with you"?

"Always one, but born as two."

"As above sits the stars...

"and below lies the sea...

"I give you you..."

What are you doing here?

How many times have I told you? It is not safe out here.

Sorry, Mother Koril.

There will be consequences for breaking the rules.

- It isn't fair. - The rules are for your safety.

Now follow me. Quickly.

Indara. Can you read me?

We are not alone.

Indara, can you read me?

Girls!

Your enemies will not warn you before they attack!

Get up.

Block me!

Excellent, Mae.

Osha, I expect more from you.

Girls, to your room.

A Force cult. Here?

I think they are witches.

Nightsisters?

We do not have all the information.

Besides, Nightsisters don't raise younglings.

Let alone train them.

They do not treat the girls like children.

We should return to the ship. Ask the Council for guidance.

I fear for the girls' safety.

The witches prepare for a ceremony tonight.

What if the girls are in danger?

Indara, I know you would defer to the Council, but I insist.

Come with me. See what I have seen.

It's an old platform elevator. This must be an old mining site.

Kelnacca, slice the controls.

I'm going in alone.

Master, we must escort you.

It's too risky to go in as a group. They'll take it as a threat.

There are over 50 of them.

Fifty women, and only two children.

We should go as a team.

Fine.

But we must be vigilant.

Good evening.

I am Master Indara, and these are my colleagues,

Sol, Kelnacca, and my Padawan, Torbin.

I am Aniseya, mother of this coven.

These women are under my protection.

You're trespassing.

Forgive our intrusion.

We thought this planet was uninhabited.

The all-knowing Jedi were ignorant of their surroundings?

I find that hard to believe.

Torbin, Jedi Padawan...

Son of paupers from the planet Bonadan.

You've traveled so far, only to become trapped on this planet.

You are a strong and good Jedi.

You are a strong and good Jedi.

But you have natural desires you suppress.

Tell me...

Do you wish to escape this planet?

Do you wish to escape this planet?

I can help you.

Do you wish to escape this planet? I can help you.

Osha. May we meet your sister?

You wish to return to Coruscant.

Your Master denies you.

I would not keep you from what you want.

I would always let you have what you need.

Why not ask me?

Go on. Go on.

Go on.

Ask. Ask me. Ask.

Ask me.

I want to return to Coruscant.

Kneel.

If you want your Padawan returned to his right mind,

I suggest you all leave. Now.

Mama! I wanna show them what you've taught me.

Please let me take the test.

Mother Aniseya,

you cannot deny that Jedi have the right to test potential Padawans.

With your permission, of course.

The scouts will bring Osha to your camp at midday.

We appreciate your cooperation.

That was clever. Suggesting we test the girls.

Buys me time to ask the Council for guidance.

Indara, I feel a connection to Osha.

Sol, testing the twins is not something we can take seriously.

Osha's too old to join the Order.

I feel she is meant to be my Padawan.

Her coven will never let her leave.

They are so insular... So strange.

They marked her sister with dark magic.

Ceremonial markings are customary in many cultures in the galaxy.

But Osha did not have one.

- I worry she's not safe. - That's true.

She may have resisted being marked. There's no way to know.

Then who is protecting this child if not the Jedi?

I believe she wants to leave with us.

Do not confuse what Osha wants with what you want.

We're here.

This won't take long, Mae.

What is that?

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I just need to take a sample of your blood.

Is that okay?

Ow.

In this test,

you must divine what images appear on the testing screen...

What do you want me to do?

Tell us what you see.

A spaceship.

A castle.

A planet.

A necklace.

The image hasn't appeared yet.

Can I go back to my family now?

Last night before we entered your home,

what was everyone doing in the courtyard?

Ascension.

What is that?

Is your marking a part of Ascension?

Do you like it?

It's very beautiful.

Ascension must be very important to include a marking like that.

Mama says "Ascension" means Osha and I will lead the coven.

That's why I have a marking like Mama.

But you're children. How can you become the leaders?

I... don't know.

Mama said, "Everyone must walk through fear.

"Everyone must be sacrificed to fulfill their destiny."

Thank you for explaining that to me.

Can I go now?

Mm.

Mae was instructed to fail.

- Mm. - With your permission,

I would like to try a different approach with the other child.

You may.

There are other children there?

Thousands like us.

But you must have the courage to say what you want.

I want to be a Jedi.

Then you must have the courage to tell the truth.

We should continue the test.

A planet.

Correct.

What now, Master?

You should run the girls' blood samples.

- I've contacted Council for instruction. - And then?

You, Sol, and Kelnacca continue the field work.

I'll wait here until Coruscant makes contact with us.

Osha passed.

I will meet you at the camp when I hear their answer.

Something is wrong.

The Council said no.

They will not sanction bringing the twins to Coruscant.

Or separating them from their coven.

But there's something dangerous about those women.

You saw what they were capable of.

You can feel the twins are not safe.

They say that we have interfered too much already.

Will they let us come home at least?

No.

Let me talk to the Council.

They've already made their decision, Sol.

- But Osha passed. - After you coached her.

Do not alter this little girl's destiny

because you have formed an emotional attachment to her.

That is not what's happening here.

I want to do what's best for Osha.

You don't get to decide that.

It's the twins' blood test results.

The M-Count very high.

Extremely high.

Very Force sensitive.

Wait. Their symbionts are the same.

They are twins.

No, no, exactly the same.

Even identical twins would have different symbionts.

This is impossible without some kind of manipulation.

The twins were artificially created?

Maybe by tapping into a power dense enough

to split one consciousness into two bodies?

Only a vergence could create that type of power.

This is it.

Torbin, stop!

Don't you see?

We just need proof of a vergence and those girls are the proof.

This is our ticket home.

Stop him!

Kelnacca and I will take the ship.

What's wrong with you?

Go and take a walk, Mae.

Take a walk with Mother Koril.

- But Mama! - Now!

What's wrong with you?

Mama! Mama!

I wanna be a Jedi, Mama.

I do.

I must discuss this situation with everyone here.

But we will consider your wish when we do so.

I love you, Mama.

I love you.

Now go.

No! I don't wanna go.

You wanna stop Osha from leaving?

Then stop her.

The Jedi will not warn you before they attack.

Good girl. Get mad.

She is a child.

The girl has yet to discover the power she holds.

It's not her decision to make.

But is it ours?

You cannot allow Osha to go.

She has chosen it.

It's what she wants.

You would sacrifice our future for the wish of a child?

My children are our future. Her wish must be considered.

You may be their mother, but you are also our leader.

Right now I choose mother.

No one can get in or out!

Witches! Arm yourselves!

Hurry. This way.

Torbin!

I think they've locked the girls inside.

The elevator's been disabled.

You can't go. We're stuck here now.

Follow me.

You cannot let them in your head again.

Do you understand?

- I need you to help me get the girls. - Okay.

- Okay? - Yeah.

Hey, give it back!

Mae, let me out.

- I won't let it happen. - Mae, please.

No. Mae.

There's no way that we can land the ship there.

If I can get close enough,

do you think you can make the jump?

Go. We must stop him before he starts a conflict.

Go!

Spread into position.

Get everyone in the common room. Prepare for battle.

What is happening?

The Jedi have breached the fortress again.

Come with me.

I told you we cannot use violence.

And I told you I would die before I let the Jedi take my children.

What are you doing?

Mama! Mama!

Take another step and it will be your last.

It was foolish to come back here, Jedi.

We come with noble intentions.

You wish to know if we will allow Osha to join you.

To be raised by an institution instead of a family.

The twins, where did they come from?

How were they created?

Someday, those noble intentions you all have

will destroy every Jedi in the galaxy.

- Easy, Torbin. - Fire! Help! Mama! Help!

Osha!

Help me!

No!

Mama!

I was going to let Osha go.

It's what she wants.

It's what she wants.

She chose you.

No!

Mama! Mama!

Mama! Mama!

Mae. Run!

Fight me!

The twins! They're locked inside!

It's happening again.

You should not have brought him here.

No. My mind is fortified!

Not you.

No, no, no, no, no!

Kelnacca!

Kelnacca, no!

Get the twins.

Master, I...

Get them now. Now!

- Osha! - Mae!

Mae!

Osha!

Osha! Mae!

Where's Mama?

Mama's dead.

What have you done?

What have you done?

Mae! Osha!

Osha!

- Mae! Mae! - Osha!

- Osha! - Mae!

- Mae! - Osha!

- Osha! - Mae!

No!

Help me!

I got you.

Master...

I'm sorry.

Kelnacca, send a message to Coruscant.

We're going home.

I warned you not to interfere.

I warned both of you.

I wanted the twins to be safe.

With no thought of the consequences.

I had to make a choice.

Master! Master!

What will we tell the Council?

We will tell the Council the truth.

Yeah.

Mae burned down the witches' fortress and everyone was lost.

Indara, I must face the Council...

Why would you do that to her?

After everything this little girl has lost tonight,

you'd take away her dream as well?

Before you throw yourself at the mercy of the Council,

ask yourself why you made this choice.

Mama? Mama!

You're okay, Osha.

Where am I?

We are on our way to Coruscant.

What happened?

Mae started a fire.
