Chapter 1: The New Chancellor
Everyone knows that the universe is made up of stars, galaxies, planets, and wide open spaces. Something that everyone does not know is that the universe you are currently living in is just one of many. There is a theory called the Parallel Dimension Theory. It states that every universe belongs to one dimension and that there could be billions upon billions of dimension. In reality all the dimensions are somehow combined but cannot be enter because there is a barrier that prevents entry to one dimension from another one. Just like everything if it is stress to much it breaks down. When that barrier breaks it opens up a hole. That hole can only be open up if there is a very strong shift in the Force.
Exactly 5 years ago the Force shifted in one dimension just enough to rupture the barrier to connect two dimensions together. What cause that shift was that a strong Force Sensitive that was a Jedi and believed to be the Chosen One killed many Jedi and join ranks with the Sith. Due to his high connection of the Force and that his connection was mostly Light Sided, it unbalance the Force causing a rupture.
The remain Jedi of that dimension senses that a hole was there and they send one of their members through the hole because they sense the event that cause the hole to open could happen in the other dimension. If that happen it will open another hole to another dimension and if the trend keeps following, the barrier that exist between the dimensions will become weak and collapse, and that could end all life in every dimensions.
So the Jedi that was sent through just went through a war experience known as the Clone Wars, when he went back through the hole to the other dimensions and put him back in the war, but besides the war he had his own plan to make sure the Republic and the Jedi Order does not fall and that was to take out the leader of the Republic that was a Sith Lord that made the Chosen One to change sides and open the hole.
It only took that Jedi only a year to finish his mission and take down that Sith Lord and he actually die, but the Force give him something very rare that is hardly known. The Force gives that Jedi a Second Chance at life. The Force says to him that his destiny is far from over and that he got a lot to do before he can be accepted to the other side of the Force.
That Jedi name was and is Mark Alan Zane, a human Bakuran Jedi Master who was 32 when he first arrives to the dimension, but is now 37 years old. Being a Bakuran means a lot of things. It hard to poison him with any type of poison and his length of life is longer than most humans. Also throw in the fact that humans that has the ability to use the Force live longer he could be consider someone who might live for a long time. There are records that there were those with the Force can live up to 200 years. With medical science in the galaxy being great it is possible for some to live 300 years. There were a Jedi Master called Shayotothat was born sometime before 4,800 BC that lives to be at least 800 years old because of the Force
Currently he is also the mentor of a Corellian human Jedi Padawan named Rachelle Hunter who is currently 25 who is very strong with the Force, but she lacked training. Underneath Mark she have great deal within a year and has learn a lot more in the past 4 years after the death of Chancellor Palpatine who was Darth Sidious.
Right now Mark is standing with Anakin Skywalker and his 4 year old twins Luke and Leia Skywalker in the Senate District of Coruscant, who seem to always call him Uncle Mark. Even in his other dimension Mark have been great friends with Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala.
They are waiting for to see who the next Chancellor of the Galactic Republic would be. It surprised Mark when Padme say she is going to go for it when the twins were 3 years old. He thinks the event that happen in 19 BBY to her family because of his plan to take down Sidious had changed her a little bit. She is more determined to fix up the Republic. The Vice Chancellor Mas Amedda had done a somewhat good job but not good enough.
"I have a feeling this is going to be a close call between Bail and Padme." say Mark. Seem like 3 of the Senators who been trying to become Chancellor was very favorable in the eyes of the Republic.
A yellow male Zabrak appear on a stage and on various of Holoscreens position around the Senate Rotunda. "As we know the 15 BBY Elections for the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic have been long awaited for and all the Senators who wanted to become Chancellor have been doing a fine hard job of gaining supporters. After much delay, I would like to present you to the new Chancellor of the Galactic Republic Chancellor Padme Amidala Skywalker!" say the Zabrak.
Padme walks up on the stage from behind curtains. Apparently she was surprise too, because the Senators who tried out for becoming the Chancellor did not know until the last moment. Even through she was surprise she keep her face from showing it. She was wearing a formal blue and gray dress that covers her whole body up from her neck to her feet.
"Mommy did it!" shout Leia as she claps among many other people. Luke joins in with the clapping. Mark sighs as he pinches his nose. He hopes Padme knows what she is getting herself into. He has a strong feeling that she the assassination attempts on her life might become more. What happen to when she wanted a quiet life?
Oh well it just means it will make the Jedi jobs much more entertaining, because if the past 4 years still keep on happening she is going to have assassination attempts. Mark is still trying to figure out who exactly is behind it. He could guess right off his hand that it is Nute Gunray, but he is not for sure. They heard little from him since the Clone Wars. He is still the leader of the Trade Federation.
The crowd becomes quiet as she begins to speak. Her voice was soft but still has seriousness in it. "Citizens of the Galactic Republic, I have been Queen and Senator of Naboo through some tough times. Even as I was growing up I know something was up. The Senate of the Galactic Republic has change since it was long time ago when it was first founded. It has been corrupted by greedy politicians like our late Chancellor Palpatine. I promise you, if there is anything that I could do as Chancellor of the Galactic Republic is that I will clean up the mess that was made by Palpatine and all other Senators that care more about themselves then the sectors and planets that they should be representing. Chancellor Mas Amedda had failed to clean up the messes of Palpatine when he took over the rest of Palpatine term. I promise you another thing, I will only do things that will benefit the Republic as a whole and the planets that align themselves to us." say Padme.
Mark can tell even without the Force that everyone likes what they are hearing. Basically Padme is going to try to clean up the Senate. He can sense some of the Senators that were in the crowd do not like the sound of that.
"What about the Clone Army that you oppose to back in 22 BBY?" ask a female human reporter. "I still think we should not have an army but the events during the Clone Wars have opened my eyes slightly. The Republic should maintain an army, but it does not have to be to the size that it has come to be during the Clone Wars, unless it has to be at the time of conflict. Still even with a military that does not mean we can have peaceful negations with those that are against us." say Padme.
"So you telling me you going to decrease the Grand Army of the Republic?" ask another report. Padme look in the direction she have heard this. "Yes and no. The Grand Army of the Republic is going to be decrease but I see it fit to give some of the Clones to planets who need them for their own personal military base. I that the Republic itself should have an army of their own just in case." say Padme as she look over at the crowds.
"What about the Jedi Order. Do you still stand that they should still be here? Chancellor Palpatine was saying how they are not good for the Republic." say another reporter. "I believe the Jedi are protectors of the Republic. They have been helping us in conflicts like the Clone Wars since the formation of the Republic. I have work with the Jedi countless times and they never seem to use their power for gain. I do like to remind people that Chancellor Palpatine was a Sith Lord who hated the Jedi. So as long as I am in office, the Jedi Order will remain a part of the Republic, even if they were against the Republic, there is nothing I can do about it without the Senate agreeing. I am not going to be like Chancellor Palpatine. I cannot rule the galaxy, no one can. That why there is a Senate." say Padme.
Mark has to smile; Padme is pretty good at giving speeches. So far she said everything that the people want to hear, and unlike Palpatine she means what she says. This could be the time that the Republic is going to look like it grand self like it was back in the early days of the Republic.
Still with the small troubles that the Galactic Republic had during the past 4 years; seem to prove to Mark that something bad is going to happen soon. He just does not know what it is exactly. Whatever it is, it going to happen soon and it does not feel like it would be an easy fight. Like with Palpatine, he will stand his ground and make sure that the Jedi Order and the Republic is safe from any dangers.
So there chapter 1, officially the Chancellor Poll is closed and obviously Padme won the polls. The final score was:
Padme- 4
Bail & Mon-1
Amelia- 0
Till next time, enjoy.
