Star Wars Chapter 34
Now we have a moment I've had in my head for these two for awhile. You'll see why.

Chapter 34: Knighthood
Nicholas and Huraz-Alaz were soon reunited with Neron and Bonga who were pretty much back to normal. Their injuries would need a little time heal before they were back to full fighting potential. They were so proud of their Padawans and how they had really taken the mantel. The Clones that had found them had even gotten recordings of their fight against Tann. Both older Jedi looked at this and knew that time had come that they knew would come soon. The younger male and female learned of how Anakin had lost his right arm fighting Count Dooku, how even Yoda failed to stop him. The battle may have been won, but at what cost? How many Jedi had been killed, and how many more would loose their lives in the future?
Everyone returned to the Temple. There was so much that had to be done in the aftermath of this battle and even more for the future. The next day Bonga and Neron met with the Jedi Council members to talk about their Padawans. They had told these 11 about Tann and how they had fought. The reason was that one had been killed in the battle and a replacement hadn't been found yet. The Council had even reviewed the footage shot of the duel. "And so with the lost of so many Jedi I think the time has come that we forgo the Trials and promote my Padawan Nicholas Sentii to rank of Jedi Knight," Neron stated. "He is ready and has shown great growth during his time under my wing when he came to me ten years ago. He has promise and is capable. There is little more he can learn from me."
"As for Huraz-Alaz she may be a year behind but the same can be applied to her," Bonga stated. "I also propose we give her the rank of Jedi Knight as well. What she has experienced so far is much more difficult than the Trials ever could give with her. She passed her trial of Spirit and Insight a few times, especially when constructing her Lightsaber as well as rejecting that dark assassin's offer to join her and Dooku. She has long since passed her Trial of the Flesh as she no longer feels homesick from her home planet and family. Her Trial of Skill was besting that Dark assassin despite having help from Nicholas. And she passed her Trial of Courage by saving my life and taking up the torch for directing troops and facing against the assassin."
"For Nicholas he passed his Trials much the same way," Neron continued. "He passed his Trial of Skill and Flesh by defeating that assassin. No matter what she threw at him, my Padawan kept going. His Trial of Courage pass was saving my life and directing the troops in my stead. For the Trial of Spirt rejecting that assassin's offer was a sign he's committed to being a Jedi. You can see it in his eyes. And his Trial of Insight in the amount of effort he has put in his training."
The 11 council members were silent as they regarded this knowledge. Yoda then spoke up. "No debate this is. In this time need all the Knights we can. Trust in the Force I do. A Knight, both shall be."
Nicholas and Huraz-Alaz were alerted of this and both felt shock but then a sense of accomplishment at this. It was hard to believe they would be Knights at the young age of 15 and 14. But they knew better to gloat or brag about this and be humble. As was tradition the two spent a day and night in meditation in the preparation chamber of the sacred Tranquility Spire. Although nothing was sensed in their future their thoughts were about all that had led them up to this point. All the adventures, the hard times, training, everything went through their minds.
The next day both reported to the High Council. Both entered the darken room and stepped to the center. 13 blades ignited, lighting up the room as their Master would be a part of this since only the Council had 11 members at this time. Most of the Jedi had their hoods up. But the two Padawans were able to see their Masters as part of the circle looking on to them with pride. Yoda was the only without his hood up. "Step forward Padawan Nicholas," the short Master said.
The male human did so and kneeled in front of him. The other Lightsabers were lowered. "Nicholas Sentii. By the right of the Council." Yoda's blade went to Nicholas's right shoulder. "By the will of the Force." The blade went to the left shoulder. "Dub thee I do…" The blade went to the right again and in one swift motion, cut off the hair braid Nicholas had. "Jedi Knight of the Republic."
The male human stood up, now a Knight and stood back. "Step forward Padawan," Yoda repeated. Huraz-Alaz knelt as well. The blade went to her shoulders in the exact same movement. "Padawan Huraz-Alaz. By the right of the Council. By the will of the Force. Dub thee I do. Jedi Knight of the Republic." The blade was brought up and her braid was cut off. The Nelvaanian stood up now a Knight as well.
This wouldn't mean the end of Nicholas and Huraz-Alaz working with their old Masters. But now the time had truly come for the new Knights to begin their journey as Jedi. A couple things were done on their end to celebrate. For Nicholas his robes became a little more tougher for what was to come ahead in the war. He also got combat gloves for the fighting. The final thing was a necklace with a cross attached to it that came from his home planet of Alderan. For Huraz-Alaz she got Knight robes colored blue. The two also planed on growing their hair out but that would come with time. As Knights they were also given the roles of Generals in the newly army that was now approved by the Senate of the Republic. That meant they had ships and clones under their command. But the day when war was really declared was one they would never forget.

So it's to be noted in Episode II if you remember that one Jedi who tried to kill Dooku in the arena but killed by Jango and fell, that was the dead Council member. Anyways, just another chapter to go.
