Synopsis
The four students realize that they've all had the same strange vision of an ancient tree with a door beneath it, and that said tree must be somewhere nearby on the moon, and they set off in search of it, Mal leading the way. As they hike, the jungle around them falls silent and they are attacked by a catlike beast with fur blacker than pitch. Mal stands between the beast and the girls, falling into the same type of aggressive trance as in one of his shockball games. After getting an early and devastating blow against the beast, the two of them circle and feint, unable to hit one another. It'klah tries to assist, grabbing her stick and trying to distract the beast so Mal can hit it. She succeeds in attracting its attention, but falls prey to a devastating blow that topples her to the ground. While Lexi administers aid, and Mal and the beast circle, Ishilu takes aim at a dark figure that taunts her from the trees. Hitting her target as she draws on her fear, the figure and the cat both vanish as if they were never there.
The four realize that they have arrived at the door, and it opens to allow them to pass, despite its age. Inside, they find an immensely old mechanical workshop with an immensely old droid that calls itself the Guardian. The four realize that they have been called to this place in order to use the crystals they received to construct lightsabers.
