A.N2 AU/OOC/female Anakin
A.N3 There will be child abuse
When Anakin returned to Corracant after the victory parade on Naboo, she was handed to Lyra D'Arty because they felt Obi-Wan was too young. What Anakin got was a psychotic bitch of a master who abused her at every turn. There had been attempts at removing Anakin from Lyra's custody but the council wouldn't hear of Saint Lyra doing any wrong, even when her last padawan died mysteriously.
When Anakin was seventeen, she applied to the Republic Naval Academy and got in. She only told the council she was resigning the day before she had to report in. When she resigned, she sent shockwaves through the force.
Jokasta Nu had known Anakin much better than most of the council, just like Stass Ali did.
"We need to reopen the investigation into Padawan Velity's death. Something is not right. There have been signs of abuse for years with Padawan Skywalker and there were numerous attempts to have Padawan Velity removed from Lyra's care."
Mace had a feeling that Lyra is responsible for the death of her former padawan and for driving Anakin away from the order. He had a feeling where Skywalker would be, the naval academy. She can outfly the knights and she is one of the best mechanics around. The order can have a padawan recalled but the council needs to conduct an investigation on Lyra. When they complete it, Anakin will need to be with another master. She would be better off with someone like Obi-Wan.
Eight months into the investigation, with evidence that Anakin had hidden in the temple, did the council learn the terrible truth. Lyra is a murderer. She is a practitioner of the dark arts and when her former padawan would not turn, she killed Hyrdrina Verity. If Anakin would not turn, Anakin would have wound up dead. The council cut her off from the force and placed her in the brig for the rest of her life.
When Obi-Wan was called up for a meeting with the council, he decided to ream into the council.
"You had the chance to stop Lyra fifteen years ago when Qui-Gon tried to get Hydrina removed from Lyra's care. Let me guess, you are having her recalled from the navy?"
"Yes"
Obi-Wan put his shields up so he could curse the council. He now understood why Qui-Gon went against the council so many times. They have lost their minds.
"Anakin is not going to welcome anyone within the order with open arms. You are pulling her away from the two things she loves the most, flying and mechanics. Who is going to be Anakin's new master?"
Yoda had decided that Anakin would be better off with Obi-Wan. There were eight members of the council who do not have padawans. Given the animosity that Anakin has with them, it would be best she does not finish her apprenticeship under them.
"You are, Obi-Wan. Your padawan, Skywalker should have been from the beginning. The data cards for Anakin and the navy, these are. Dismissed, you are."
Obi-Wan left and went to have lunch with Siri in the dining hall. "How did the meeting with council go?"
Siri had noticed the abuse and like Obi-Wan, she tried to get Anakin away from Lyra. She never believed Lyra's innocence when it came to Hydrina's death.
"The council is having Anakin recalled. I am her new master."
Siri breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank the force, you know she has been going out of her way to prove she was never a Jedi padawan these past eight months? She goes out drinking and partying with the cadets on a frequent basis."
He had seen the news holos of Anakin and Siri is right, she is out of control. He knew she spent her free time in either the archives or in the hanger when before she resigned. Of course in the hanger, that is where those with questionable senses of humor watched Dantoonie Park Academy.
"The tough part Siri is going to be reigning her in. The council gave me her saber. Where there is one week left before they graduate, have her finish up at the academy but lay down some ground rules for the week. I know about the Huttesse. I suspect basic is not Anakin's first language. In my dealings with her in the past, she covers up not knowing a word or phrase by being a dumb blonde when I know she is anything but that."
"That is because Ferrus found out Basic is not Anakin's first language. She only started learning Basic when she was eight. Ferrus discovered Anakin reading Basic tutorials and after working it out of her, he learned the truth. Given how Lyra demanded perfection from Anakin and Hyrdrina, you know Anakin would have never had said anything about Basic not being her first language. Good luck, Obi-Wan. You are going to need it."
"I don't need luck when I have the force."
Obi-Wan headed over to academy and presented Commandant Ackbar with the data card. That was when he learned Anakin was first in her class.
"Do you need Anakin back that badly, master Jedi?"
"The council is the one recalling her."
"I will give you the use of conference room three. No one has signed up to use it. I will have Anakin sent up. She is done for the day anyway."
"Thank you commandant Ackbar."
Obi-Wan moved into the conference room. He was told Anakin would be back with the Jedi by the end of the week. Ten minutes later, he was greeted by seventeen-year-old Anakin who had streaked her hair pink and black. She had a nose stud in. Making Anakin come back to the Jedi is for the best.
"What the kark are you doing here?"
"Anakin, you are a little more pleasant than that. The council sent me. You are being recalled."
Obi-Wan placed the data card in front of Anakin and she began a slew of swears in Huttesse.
"Why can't the karking council leave me the kark alone? They left me with a psychotic bitch."
"Anakin, Lyra's force abilities have been bound and she is spending the rest of her life in the brig. You won't be going back to her. Take a guess at who your new master is?"
"I rather take a swim in the dune sea than be a padawan again."
Obi-Wan had to refrain at laughing at his apprentice. He honestly wished she was still nine and not mouthy. "Language, my very young apprentice. Since Commandant Ackbar said you are done for the day, let's go see the council."
Anakin held her tongue because she knew she was headed for extra meditation. When she felt Obi-Wan probe her shields and send calming waves through the force, she ended up shoving him.
"Sorry master, old habit."
Obi-Wan knew Lyra had to have abused the bond and Anakin had become a little too good at shielding.
"Anakin, one would think I was taking you to meet your executioners. Calm down but did Lyra…"
"I was given daily force migraines and attacked with force lightning almost on a daily basis. It's why I spent as much time away from Lyra that I could get away with."
Obi-Wan had lost all respect for the council. When he was a youngling, he was taught to never question the council's wisdom or decisions. Now, he does. How could they not see the abuse and the other, what about the healers in the temple? They would have been required to report such abuses but some injuries could be explained away such as training. Besides reigning in the out of control teenager, getting her to trust him is going to be the second battle he is going to have on his hands.
When they made their way to the lift that would take them up to the Council, he could feel Anakin's fear through the force yet he knew with her shields, he would be shoved again.
Yoda sensed Anakin and Obi-Wan. He had to stop himself from laughing at Anakin's appearance.
"Come to see us, you have Anakin."
Anakin was in a room with people who she rather not be in on the same side of the galaxy with.
"So what is going to be masters for my actions as a cadet?"
Anakin has a reputation of being direct and a little cold. She can be overly blunt sometimes as well.
Ki-Adi knew they had to view the situation in a non-punitive manner. Anakin is hardly the first unruly padawan and she won't be the last.
"Don't look at this as punishment Anakin but you will be required to see the mind healers that we have in the temple. We know Lyra never took you to them when you were nine. That will be part of it and the other, you will be put back on peer tutoring duty. It is to make you interact with the others."
Obi-Wan agreed with the plan as well. Mace continued. "You were called back because of the situation on Krilo 4. It is one of the Huttesse speaking systems in the Republic. There has been a drought going on for fifteen years and almost all of the resources are gone. The government has an end of the year exam, that exam decides who is worthy to live on Krilo 4 and who is to be executed for being a drain on society."
"Masters, I don't get it. Why didn't the Krilo 4 government apply for natural disaster aid from the Republic? It was meant for purposes just like this."
Adi was the one who discovered this from her intel contacts. " The government has been advocating for eugenics for years. They want the most educated, genetically superior citizens. Unfortunately any of the knights that speak perfect Huttese are too old to take the test. Huttese has been introduced to the initiates and padawans. Once the week is up at the naval academy, you will be traveling with Obi-Wan to Krilo 4. Obi-Wan will be posing as a research scientist with the University of Corracant. You will be his niece enrolled in the local high school. I know you had finished a chip that would prevent weapons detection. You will need this at all times."
Shaak-Ti had become out of control as a padawan when her twin sister was killed during a mission. "Anakin, commuting back and forth to the Temple would be impossible. However, we will know if you have been in the bars and clubs. Your hair is to be back at regulation length for human female padawans as well as it goes back to its natural hair color. The nose stud comes out now as well."
Anakin twisted the stud out and Obi-Wan saw a tiny hole. He would be teasing her about it later. They were dismissed.
"We are going to one of the training rooms Anakin. I want to see how rusty you have become. I have your saber."
