What you recognize I don't own. Alien languages, sign languages, code tapping, mental communication, thoughts and notes are in asterisks. In one section I got an idea from a game called star wars the old republic Jedi knight selection. This is also of course AU. Summary is that Obi-Wan, Anakin and Yoda are sent back to the past after their deaths and they remember everything about the future, that's the good news. The bad news is that there's a darkness even worse than Sidious that's waiting for his defeat and unfortunately the three have forgotten that part of their mission since it was a two fold mission. Part one is to defeat Sidious and keep the Jedi from being destroyed, part two is to defeat the greater darkness before defeating Sidious because even with more Jedi the greater darkness will destroy the Jedi before it would be defeated due to the fact that the greater darkness was influencing Sidious the whole time by making his plans even worse than he originally would have thought of (AKA he would have used another planet other than Naboo). Can the three remember both parts of their mission in time or are they doomed to face the greater evil? Even if they do remember will they be able to change the Jedi enough to allow for the defeat of both and who else is working in the shadows for the light side of the Force? Oh and when it comes time for the Clone Wars section there's going to be a lot of quoting for the episodes I do adapt just a heads up but I won't be adapting all the episodes and I will also create missions as I see fit, and for the episodes I do adapt some might not have as much quoting as others depending on how I adapt them and if there's swearing it won't happen. There's also going to be a bit from the new series Star Wars Rebels, but only in regards to the fact that Ashoka will be known by a code name the group knew her as before the season 1 finale

Obi-Wan woke up to a strange sensation though he couldn't identify it exactly. When he bumped his head against something and felt pain that's when he knew exactly what was strange because he had been dead for a few years now, killed fighting Darth Vader. When he sat up he saw Master Mace Windu a person who had been dead even longer than he had been and that's when Windu spoke up

"It's about time you woke up, you and your Padawan scared me when you both suddenly passed out during the journey"

"What...exactly are you talking about Master Windu?"

"Don't you remember Knight Kenobi? I seem to remember you hating the fact that we had to go to another city to meet up with the Velcakins when they could have easily come to Randa even though they and the Rindi don't exactly get along with each other despite living on the same planet. We were on our way to Vinkan when both you and your Padawan passed out"

Obi-Wan quickly got a data pad out and read the galactic news, not to see what was going on but to check the date and when he saw the date he realized what had happened, though he also realized that it was supposed to be impossible. He then realized that his Padawan was starting to stir and quickly put his hand over his mouth knowing how Anakin was going to react if he saw a dead Jedi Master. As soon as Anakin was more aware of his surroundings he reverted to using sign language to communicate like they did during the Clone Wars when silence was paramount to survival depending on the mission

*You're fifteen at this time, everyone is currently alive. Somehow traveled back in time, understood?*

Anakin nodded his understanding of the situation and simply gave a respectful nod as a Padawan would give a Council member. He then read the data pad as well so that he knew exactly where they were at the moment so that he didn't make any mistakes about what they were supposed to do. After that Windu repeated his story of how they had just passed out during travel and he had been waiting for the two of them to wake up so that they could continue their journey

"Unfortunately I had no idea how long it would be until you awoke, for some reason I was getting strange feelings from the Force whenever I checked on you using the Force"

"All things considered that makes sense Master Windu by the way Anakin he's in that position"

"Figured as much, man do I wish we had them right about now"

"True but they won't be available for a bit as you well know"

"What are we going to do about him?"

"For now we wait, if he does what he did then we'll stop him"

"What about that situation that caused us to meet them?"

"For now again we have to wait, he might be different this time"

"And if he's not and activates that?"

"We'll stop him before that happens"

"I hope so because I do not want to become him"

"As it is what I want to know is why you didn't come to me when he started acting like that"

"You know full well why, and by the way they might not be the same even if that happens"

"I know, and like I said we'll watch him so that if that happens we might not have to deal with him activating that and you becoming him"

That's when Windu speaks up

"Would the two of you like to explain what you're talking about?"

"Not right now Master Windu, like I said we'll have to wait a few years and see how things develop before we talk about it. But Anakin if he starts doing what he did last time I need you to remember what he said after you became him and confronted him during that situation"

"Naturally Master. By the way what about her and her stubbornness which partially caused him to take notice of her and ultimately led me to become him because of my emotions?"

"When she pops up in our lives again we'll see, though she might remember or might not considering what we heard then"

"Oh then when we get to the temple will we ask him if he remembers also?"

"Probably should, though others might get really confused then...Anakin what if he also remembers considering his current position? I would think he might step things up sooner because of it"

"He shouldn't remember because of the fact that we're lucky we remember then and the only reason why we might remember then is because of what we heard, what we're supposed to do"

"True, but for now we still have a mission to complete"

"Exactly Master"

Windu simply shakes his head in confusion and hopes that the rest of the mission goes better than the interlude. A few minutes later though he would get confused once again

"Master I think it's a trap considering the current situation on this planet"

"Should we do that then considering how good we are at it?"

"Maybe, but considering that Master Windu is looking extremely confused at the moment we might be putting more people in danger by doing that"

"Good point my Padawan, then we'll simply have to do something else then"

"But no matter what we do we might do that without intending to"

"True but for now let's just play it by ear and follow Master Windu's orders"

"Fine"

"For now I think we have a reprieve, due to the fact that no one does anything at night and it's already dusk so things are getting settled for now, we'll sleep and continue the mission in the morning"

The Master and Padawan simply look at each other with raised eyebrows and have a silent communication when they confuse Windu even more by talking about something like they've done it plenty of times before. The fact that he didn't understand what they were talking about for a brief period only made the confusion worse because he wouldn't understand for far too long

"First or second Anakin?"

"Neither, if Master Windu is right then it won't be needed, besides if something does happen you know what our bodies will do"

"Good point, but if that's the case no arguing about being first"

"No problems Master, besides I might need it to help me get through things, though a good round of meditation will also help things"

"Okay, let's sleep"

Windu would turn out to be wrong and trouble struck that night, both Obi-Wan and Anakin were up and fighting in an instant while Windu took a bit longer but not by much however by the time he joined in the Master/Padawan team had already dealt with most of the attackers

"Okay you were right Master so I guess I'll take first while you take second"

Windu interrupted though

"If you two are talking about setting watch neither of you are taking first shift because I am, as a means to teach me about foolishness and listening to my fellow Jedi even if they are acting a bit weird at the moment"

"Master Windu I will not disobey you but I am being serious about needing meditation to help me through a few things"

"I understand Padawan Skywalker but you would not truly be alert during meditation as such I will take the first watch while you meditate on whatever it is you need to meditate on and use the Force to bring you out of it if needed"

"Yes Master Windu"

(Sighs) "I think I'll join you Padawan I feel I have a few things to deal with through meditation as well"

"Does it concern them and more specifically what you told him when you first met him shortly before you confronted him on that?"

"Yes, but it also involved there when I lied to her and made that situation worse, and also what came afterwords"

Windu remains confused but alert for several hours before deciding to bring Obi-Wan out of the meditation because he could sense through the Force that Knight Kenobi had more resolved than his Padawan though he hadn't fully resolved his problems yet he was better balanced

"Knight Kenobi it's your turn, even though neither you nor your apprentice actually got any sleep"

"Don't worry about it Master Windu, unfortunately due to things I can't explain both my apprentice and I are able to function with little to no sleep for long periods of time"

"You're acting strange again Knight Kenobi, do I need to give you an order?"

(Sighs) "I'm afraid that's impossible Master Windu, until such a time as the Force allows Anakin and I cannot explain things to you or anyone else"

"Fine, can you at least tell me how the two of you are keeping everything straight?"

"Um...I can't really say at the moment not yet anyways, I might at a later date but not in the middle of a mission that's kind of critical"

"How critical is it Obi-Wan?"

Obi-Wan pauses and closes his eyes briefly to try and figure out how he should answer

"In the grand scheme of things it isn't as critical as other missions but it's still pretty important how this ends, immediate consequences will affect things greatly in the coming months and in the coming years they might affect a few others, though not as severely as in the coming months"

The next day the group finally made it into the next town and started to negotiate with the Velcakins and didn't make much progress there either

(Sighs) "Master do I have leave to get refreshments?"

"Sorry Padawan unfortunately not, even though these negotiations are taking longer than expected you were getting treated for your shoulder when Master Windu and I were informed that we were not to leave the room once negotiations started"

"Understood Master"

Suddenly Obi-Wan notices Anakin stiffen briefly and then starts discretely tapping out a code commonly used during the Clone Wars but at this point in time hadn't even been thought of. The code in question had only been developed shortly before Geonosis and even then it had been the clones who had taught the Jedi the code because it was the clones who made the code up knowing they were to be soldiers and sometimes silence is key to a mission but visual contact isn't possible for whatever reason

*Master disturbance in Force. Be ready for trouble. One representative possibly lying but not sure*

Obi-Wan just gave Anakin a slight nod knowing that no one else would know what had just transpired and subtly made to be ready to bring out his lightsaber at a moment's notice when his Padawan tapped out another code discretely

*Check lightsaber. Battle might have done something. No need for unnecessary injuries*

*No time, might happen soon, negotiations began immediately*

*Know, not happy, but will not use weapon if dangerous*

*Reveal true self if do that*

*What choice do we have?*

*Point*

*Force will help with quick check, thorough will happen later*

*Agreed*

Both did a brief check through the Force and discovered that as far as they could tell their weapons were safe unfortunately they couldn't give the warning to Master Windu for several reasons. They quickly went back to paying full attention to the negotiations when suddenly the delegate Anakin was nervous about made his move surprising Windu and forcing him to duck. While that was happening several intruders came into the room to subdue the security guards and several other people but Anakin and Obi-Wan were ready and had their lightsabers out and moving before the intruders even had a chance to do anything about it. The battle in the room was short but fierce and that's when it was discovered that Windu's lightsaber was broken due to the fact that while it didn't explode outright sparks did fly from the casing and the lightsaber didn't activate

"Anakin protect Master Windu, I'll get the delegate"

"Understood Master"

Obi-Wan then used their bond for completely silent communication that wasn't obvious to anyone and something he knew his Padawan had forgotten due to the stress of everything at the moment
