Official description[]
Plot summary[]
Kaliah's journal[]
At the Tenoo Jedi Temple, Jedi Initiates Kai Brightstar and Djovi Resmia sort out old artifacts in an underground archive under instruction from Jedi Master Zia Zaldor Zanna. Resmia takes an interest in a black blade with unknown inscriptions. Brightstar finds an old datapad which contains turns out to be Kaliah Kublop's journal. They find a holorecording of her journal entry. Resmia and Brightstar are familiar with Kublop, an adventurer who became the founder of Tenoo.
In holo entry 67, Kublop makes a recording from the Tanglevine Base, her secret treehouse headquarters which is named after tanglevine snakes. Resmia expresses their fear of snakes. In the recording, Kublop introduces Master Staas Ragnabi, whom Resmia recognizes as a Jedi who used to explore the Outer Rim Territories. Kublop and Staas mention that the feared pirate captain Blackbolt is afraid of snakes and that they had repelled his attack on Tanglevine Base due to his fear of snakes. Kublop ends the recording by saying that she is the best adventure partner in the galaxy defending Tenoo from pirate attacks. Following the recording, Brightstar and Resmia discover this entry is the last entry in the journal and comes with a set of coordinates to Kublop's secret base.
Rediscovering Tanglevine Base[]
Brightstar is eager to explore the base for its treasure and Jedi artifacts from Master Staas. He believes that they can learn more about the planet's history. Resmia is reluctant due to their fear of snakes but obliges. The two younglings ride their dunnel mounts through the Tenoo tree forest. Brightstar teases Resmia about the loser having to clean the stables when they return. Unknown to them, they are being watched by a floating cam droid with bat-like wings. The two younglings reach a waterfall at the base of a giant Tenoo tree.
Brightstar says these are the coordinates but can't find Tanglevine Base. Resmia spots a vine snake slithering across a branch and disappearing behind a waterfall. The two younglings work out that the base is behind a waterfall. They leave their dunnels behind and enter the waterfall. The bat-like cam droid is still surveilling them from above. The two younglings walk past several tanglevine snakes among the vines. After Brightstar discovers a hidden panel, he switches on the lights. Brightstar is delighted that they have found Tanglevine Base.
Blackbolt strikes again[]
Their elation is cut short by the arrival of Captain Blackbolt, who thanks the younglings for leading his droid to the Tanglevine Base and its treasures. When Brightstar expresses surprise at Blackbolt's return, the pirate droid responds that he made a few repairs to his ship and found a route back to Tenoo. When the bat-like droid arrives and circles his master, Blackbolt thanks PR-OT for tracking Kublop's datapad signal as they had done the last time. Blackbolt vows to claim Kublop's treasures and not let the Jedi get in his way.
When Brightstar disagrees, Blackbolt summons two child-sized battle droids armed with electrostaffs. While Brightstar duels with Blackbolt, Resmia deals with the battle droids. When they backflip away, the first droid TW-D1D accidentally strikes the second droid TW-D1D and apologizes. The droids push Resmia against a stack of crates, releasing several tanglevine snakes. While fighting Brightstar, Blackbolt is unnerved by a slithering snake. While Blackbolt and his droids are distracted by the snakes, Brightstar attempts to take advantage of the situation. However, Resmia is terrified of the snakes and unable to assist Brightstar. Resmia joins Brightstar in fighting Blackbolt. However, the pirate droid gains the advantage and expels the two Jedi younglings from Tanglevine Bay's waterfall entrance. While his battle droids guard the waterfall, Blackbolt intends to plunder the base's treasure.
Confronting fear[]
At the banks of the waterfall, Resmia confides to Brightstar that they are afraid of snakes. When Brightstar asks Resmia why they kept this secret from him, Resmia replies that they did not want Brightstar to think they were weak. Brightstar reassures Resmia that they are not weak but are one of the strongest people he knows. When Resmia says that Brightstar is strong because he doesn't fear snakes, Brightstar reassures his friend that he is afraid of spiders. Resmia admits they find spiders cute and apologizes for not confiding in Brightstar about their fears. Brightstar reassures Resmia he is there for them.
The two boys resolve to retake Tanglevine Base. Working together, they drive the droids back and confront Blackbolt. Brightstar and Resmia vow to drive Blackbolt away just as Kublop and Staas had done in the past. Blackbolt vows to get rid of his opponents. While Resmia takes on the droids, Brightstar fights with the pirate droid. Blackbolt drives Brightstar up a stack of crates, where the young Jedi is harried by PR-OT. Resmia uses a vine to swing across the ceiling and rescue Brightstar.
Landing at the waterfall entrance, they resume their lightsaber battle against the intruders. Resmia takes on Blackbolt while Brightstar fights his battle droids. Though Resmia manages to drive Blackbolt towards the edge of the waterfall entrance, they are unnerved by a snake hanging from the ceiling. Brightstar reassures Resmia that they can be brave together. Resmia grabs the snake and throws it as Blackbolt. While Blackbolt struggles to free himself, Brightstar pushes him, TW-D1M and TW-D1D down the waterfall. The droids' gears and circuits are damaged by the water. Before retreating, Blackbolt and his droids vow vengeance.
Triumph[]
While Brightstar and Resmia examine the artifacts within Tanglevine Base, Resmia thanks Brightstar for being there with them. Brightstar says that Kublop and Staas would be proud of them and activates a hologram of the two. Resmia encourages Brightstar to continue in their search for artifacts inside the base.
