Chapter 2
Mara of course beat Jacen, but just barely, and that was only because Mara wasn't feeling well.
"Alright, Leia and Anakin you're up next, remember Anakin she hasn't finished her training." Master Yoda said
"Yes Master Yoda. Are you ready?" Anakin asked
"I suppose. I have only had to use this in a confrontation a few time, but my brother refused to allow me out of my home, without it, but I keep a Sith occupied long enough for Luke to jump in." Leia said
"Very good, Sith are my specialty." Leia heard a snort from Luke and Obi-Wan. "What?" he demanded smiling.
"That was my line Anakin." Obi-Wan said grinning
"Yeah so it worked." Anakin answered
"Alright." Obi-Wan rolled his eyes
With a snap-hiss he ignited he blue blade, with a snap-hiss Leia did hers as well a blue blade.
They hit back and forth Leia did a pretty good job, she would twirl away and then be back, strike after strike, this went on for a few minute when Anakin disarmed her, deftly. Deactivating the lightsabers and gave hers back.
"Nice work, with some practice, you could match your brother, with the power coming from you." Anakin commended
"Thank you." Leia smiled
"Alright, Anakin and Jaina you're next, you are, don't hold back, fight as if your life depended on it because it just might. Just don't kill each other." Yoda said
"Just don't kill each other, Really, I kind of like my arms and legs just because my Uncle has a fake hand doesn't mean, I want to continue the tradition." Jaina said
"Yes I quite agree one arm removal was enough for me." Luke, Leia, Mara, Han, Jag, Jacen and Jaina, flinched almost as one. "What did I say?"
"My grandfather though I never meet him, right after he turned to the dark side, had his legs and arms removed in a duel. And was burned over his entire body to the point he lived in a mechanical suit, to keep him alive. That's all." Jaina said with a grimace
"Well that sounds unpleasant." He said smiling slightly, in an I-don't-know-what-to-say-kinda way.
"Oh, you are quite right. But he turned back to the light right before he died, all four of them have interesting memories of him, from torture to hand removal, and Aunt Mara simply hated him, she was the Emperor's Hand before he was killed, but Vader was his right hand man, and he last command was to kill my Uncle, well as you can see, she didn't do that. I'm sure my grandfather would appreciate that." Jaina said
"Yes I can see why he would appreciate her not killing him." He winked at Mara. "She did end up marrying him so he can't be that bad right?" that got a few snickers.
"Oh, he is still just a farm boy. But he isn't that bad, most of the time." This time she winked at Luke.
"Alright let's get to the battle." Luke said as he started to turn red. "Just no body parts removed and no killing."
"Alright Solo you ready?" Anakin asked in taunting manner
"No one calls me Solo, it's like call me scruffy looking." She winked at her Dad and Mom
"Who's scruffy looking?" her dad demanded in mock outrage
"You are dear." Her mom told him
"Well alright, but you're the only one allowed to call me that." Her dad said and kissed her.
"Get a room." Jacen said snickering
"What? Did you say something Jacen?" Jaina said looking at him and he knew he was in trouble.
"Um me. Oh nothing." he said in a rush, back up and stood behind Jag.
"What happened to being a Jedi, Jacen?" Jag asked in amused tone.
"Have you ever sparred in hand to hand with her when she has that look? No didn't think so. But you're the one getting the room now Jag, right?" Jacen asked
"Sure every chance I get." And then they heard and felt the unmistakable Jaina Force slap in the back of their heads.
"OW." They said.
"You were saying Jagged Fel?" she demanded
"Yeah, I would love to know this, too." Her dad said arms crossed glaring blaster bolts at him.
"Um, I think it time for you to fight don't you Jaina?" he looked pleadingly at her, she just rolled her eyes.
"Are you ready Anakin?" Jaina asked
"Yes." Their blades activated with a snap-hiss a blue blade and a purple blade.
He Force flipped over her but she was not there, he put his blade behind him in just enough time to catch the blade, they did high low strikes Anakin backing up as they did so, Jaina jumped on to the window seal and dove at him he caught the strike but he could also tell that if he didn't catch it she was able to turn her blade off, she did a round house to his mid section while there blades were locked, it went back and forth, one jumping and flying at the other, they did more sophisticated high lows in rapid succession, so fast Han and Jag wouldn't have been able to see more than a blades glow as it speed by the bodies were unrecognizable except for the hair they were just moving too fast.
"Wow who taught her that because I know I didn't and I have never seen you fight like that?" Mara said as she whistled at the particularly brutal over handed strike that drove Anakin's blade toward his neck.
"I have no idea, but I do know that when I was fighting Vader, I got some flash visions of fighting techniques long since lost. Ouch." He said when Jaina and Anakin both tried to send the other flying backward, Jaina had used Anakin's power against him at the same time sticking herself to the floor, as Anakin went tumbling backward toward the wall and would have hit it if Jaina hadn't of stopped his body with the force. He was up and they were back to more brutal strikes over and under at the legs, Anakin twirled away and did a backward flip and landed right in front of her, they went back to the vicious over and under strikes high and low, they were to evenly match one couldn't beat the other, when Anakin got to close Jaina force hurled him away a few feet, high low, flipping and catching the blade, Luke had never ever seen such fighting techniques before and from what he could tell no one else had either. He sidled up by Master Yoda and Obi-Wan.
"Have you ever seen anything like this before?" Luke asked
"I have not, engaging this fight is, very powerful the two are, and together they would be unstoppable, yes?" Yoda said
"I have never in all the years I have trained and known Anakin seen him fight like this, what about Jaina?" Obi-Wan asked
"Never she is without a doubt one of the most powerful Jedi Knight, and an expert swordswomen, as anyone who has ever fought her, says her technique is, conservative, brutal, ruthless, designed to deal damage without suffering any in return, that is Jaina Solo The Sword of the Jedi, we might not get an end to this anytime soon they are to evenly matched it will only come to pass when one has tire out the other." Luke answered
"Agree with you, I do, but let us see how long they can fight." Yoda answered
Every Master nodded.
Anakin tried to use a snap kick to her mid section, to throw her off balance, but that didn't work she used the force to cushion his blow when it touched it look like Ben kick would have dealt more damage, high low strikes, feigns in every few strike so Anakin wouldn't know it until it came to pass, twirl around with a sweeping motion he just jumped over it, when just over two hours of full out fighting when Anakin missed the last feign and had a lightsaber very close to his neck, he could tell Jaina had stilled him with the force so she would accidently take his head off. They saluted each other, turn off their blades and like they had planned it, both promptly fell to the floor, breathing heavily.
"Oh, I'm going to hurt so bad tomorrow." Jaina moaned.
"I know, I'm completely burnt, where did you learn to duel like that, some of your moves were unlike any I have ever seen before, did your uncle teach you those moves?" Anakin asked
"No it was weird it was like I suddenly had every move of every Jedi and Sith alike in my head. I have never had an experience like that before." Jaina answered
Anakin was about to say something when Jedi robes surrounded them.
"Wow Jaina, that was awesome. I am so glad I don't have to duel you, when the time for a fight comes." Jacen said grinning.
"I quite agree, brother, she was never like that before." Anakin Solo's force ghost appeared. "Hello Anakin Skywalker, I'm Anakin Solo, her younger brother."
"Anakin?" He asked
"Yes, mom liked the name she didn't know where she got it from until later." Okay so he lied to him, but what else was he supposes to do?
"Thanks Anakin, remind me to kick your ethereal butt when I get there will ya?" Jaina asked
"Sorry sis, not gonna happen. Well I must go just wanted to tell you that was amazing." Anakin Solo said
"Thanks Anakin." Jaina said
"Oh and you as well Anakin, quite the amazing show you put on, there are many Jedi in this room that you can't see, said it was the best duel they have ever seen." Anakin Solo said
"Thank you, Anakin." Anakin Skywalker said
Nodding his head and Anakin disappeared again.
"I don't think I will ever be the same." Anakin said
"Nor I, I have fought in a few duels that lasted a while, but this was so very long, I don't even know how long but it feels like days, Uncle Luke?" Jaina asked
"Two hours, four minute, and fifty-two seconds." Luke answered
"Oh." They both moaned.
"I think you both need a healing trance, calling on the force like that for so long is not good." Master Windu said
"Alright, come on, Jag help me up." Jaina said reaching her hand up
"Alright Goddess, your wish is my command." Jag said pulling her to her feet
"Can you cut that out, Fel, were not at war anymore." Han said
"Sorry sir, but even if we just used it for psychological warfare, it wouldn't be right to not allow her to keep a title she most defiantly holds at least in my book, isn't that a more important reason." Jag said
"Hem, Hem. Amazing thing this love, fear attachment, we should not, love and marriage, are just a stepping stone in life, perhaps it's time for a few of the codes to be removed or changed, I think." Yoda said
"Agreed." All the Master said
"Will Jag be staying with you Jedi Solo?" Master Fisto asked
"Yes, Master he will." Jaina answered
"Very well, I will get on the rooms right now." Master Fisto said
Anakin suddenly reappeared as Jaina and Anakin were going to shake hands, eye wide in fear.
"Anakin what is it?" Luke asked
"Sssith Lord, felt you both in the Force, he knows together you will be unstoppable so he is hoping to draw you two apart so you'll never fight together against him, so you won't become literally the ultimate power in the universe, so he is moving up his schedule, he will try and get his hands on Vader, in the next week. I must go." Anakin disappeared.
"Oh that is so very bad, and I mean very, very bad. We will have to train some more, fight someone or even more than one so were on our toes when the time come, that way we won't expect anything, we will just act on instinct, are you with me Anakin?" Jaina said. Yoda and the other Master were mumbling something and nodding.
"Yes, you know who the Sith Lord is?" Anakin Skywalker asked
"Yes and believe me, when I say, it will be a shocker, but you must perform your duty." Jaina said
"Yes the Council agrees you'll fight our best duelist in, one on two, two on two, and three on two if we need to more, just to give you variety." Master Windu said
"Oh boy I need to lay down, I am beyond worn-out. Do you have a room for me?" Jaina turned to the Masters.
"Yes here are your direction, and the pass code, if you have any problems please just let one of us know." Master Fisto said handing her a data pad.
"Thank you." Jaina turned to the Master and Anakin, bowed. "We will get to work, when the Master's have agreed, on whom and when. You need to go home to your wife. But Masters if I might be so bold, it might be wise to have her come here, I have met Anakin Skywalker's child, and would still like to, but with things going this fast, Anakin's one true weakness will be his wife, here she can be protected against a Sith."
The Master's were all nodding.
"We agree, send with you, Master Kenobi, Masters Jade, and Jedi Solo's, we will." Yoda said to Anakin
Everyone nodded, Jaina looked at her Uncle in a questioning manner when he nodded, she grabbed Anakin's hand and head to the sparring mat, she turned toward him, took both his hand and sank into a crossed leg position when he saw what she was doing even though it was apparent he had no clue why, he followed suit. On their right Luke sank into a crossed leg position facing the center making it almost a box, then Obi-Wan sank into a cross leg position making a full box, put a hand on Anakin and Jaina's shoulders and went into a meditative state, then she felt energy rushing back into every fiber of her being strengthening and working on the soreness, after a few minute it stopped, she took a deep breath, and heard Anakin do it also.
"Wow what was that?" Anakin asked
"We added the Force to your body, it will help for only a few hours and then you will be just as tired but it will help for now." Obi-Wan told him
"Why did you do that?" Anakin asked
"Because if it comes to a fight you will need to have the strength to do it, will you not? And Jaina asked sort of." Luke said
"Alright, I need to change. Are our vessels still up in space or has The Ambushed made planet fall?" Jaina asked the Masters.
"It made planet fall halfway through your duel, you can follow Master Kenobi, and he'll lead you to The Ambushed and where you can move your Vessels to." Master Windu said
"Thank you." She bowed hooked arms with Jag. "Coming Flyboy? Or I could always fly your Clawcraft and have Jacen fly mine."
"Nice try Goddess, not going to happen." Jag said kissing her forehead
"Anakin, we'll be right back or you can come along and ride in the Falcon or the Shadow if you want, and as soon as I wash up and change we can go get your wife okay, maybe you should comm her and tell her to prepare a few things." Jaina said
"Yes, I'll go with you, I want to get a vid of your fur ball with the droids you decimated." Anakin said rubbing his hands together.
"Alright come on then." Jaina said as they followed obi-Wan Kenobi, it only took a few minute before they we're on the Ambushed and in the Hanger bay.
"Wow what kind of fighters are those?" Anakin asked
"Mine is an X-Wing, and Jag's is a Clawcraft." Jag was walking toward his ship and stood at the side just waiting, Jaina raised her hand and Jag went up and jumped into his crash couch pulled on his helmet and lowered his canopy. "You can go with my parents, I'll see you in a few minutes." Waving she flipped up on to the front of her ship and lowered herself in pulled her helmet on and lowered the canopy. After a few moments Jaina and Jag followed the Shadow and the Falcon out of the hanger bay, it only took a minute before they landed in the Hanger of the Jedi Temple. They all ran their post flight check and unhooked, Jaina dropped off her ship and once again Jag was waiting, she lowered him to the floor. Both of them proceeded to the cargo compartment retrieved their pilots bag, Jag and Jaina hooked back up and went to the Falcon, where they wait for them to come out, a minute later the ramp lowered and everyone followed Obi-Wan and Anakin toward their respective rooms."Give me ten minutes." She enter the code and she and Jag both took a fast shower together, sharing a few sweet kisses but would wait till later for anything else, they dressed and walked out as Jaina finished braiding her hair. The Solo's, Skywalker's all of them, and Obi-Wan. "Ready." Jag put his hand on her back, they followed them to the speeder bay, and half went with Anakin the other with Obi-Wan. About five minute later they reached 500 Republica, and followed Anakin to the lift, when they arrived he lead them to the living room he told them to have a seat.
"Padme, we're here." Anakin called
"Master Anakin, it's good to see you." C-3PO said walking into the room; both Han and Jag had to fight to keep their mouths from falling open.
"Hello 3PO, where is Padme?"
"She is not feeling well, but she'll be right out, Mistress Dorme is packing her things like you instructed. Would you like anything to drink for yourself or your guests?"
"Anyone?" Anakin asked
"Water." Jaina said everyone else nodded.
"It looks like water all around." Anakin said
"Anakin are you here?" the call came from the bedroom.
"Yes sweetheart, come out here there are some people I would like to introduce you too."
"Alright give me one moment." As 3PO came back with water for everyone, Padme Amidala walked out her hand on her stomach, and stopped short when she saw the ladies sitting and the men standing behind there significant others or in Jacen and Anakin's case we're looking out the window. "Hello um, Jedi Skywalker." Jaina could help it she snorted and so did Luke and Leia, thou they were looking wide eyed at her. "Did I say something funny?"
"Yes, a moment ago you called him Anakin and just now you called him, Jedi Skywalker, Padme, Anakin already confessed to the Jedi Council there is nothing for you to hide anymore. Congratulations Padme." Obi-Wan said
"Why did you tell them you'll be kicked out of the Order." She scolded and got snickers all around when Anakin turned red.
"No he won't Luke argued in his defense, the Council has decided that as the future has proven that a family makes you stronger, so you will be allowed to remain married." Obi-Wan said smiling
"Oh, Thank you." She hugged Anakin, and kissed Obi-Wan on the cheek, turned back toward her guest. "I'm sorry how rude of me, I'm Padme Amidala Skywalker, and you are?"
"Sweetheart, allow me to introduce to you, Master's Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker." When Mara and Luke shared a shocked look, Anakin began to laugh. "Young Ben knows his name and was confused as to why you keep calling him by his Mom's old name, since Luke told me this is Leia Solo, Luke's twin." Padme was crying. "That is Han Solo, her husband and their twins Jedi Knights Jaina and Jacen Solo, behind Jaina is her boyfriend Colonel Jagged Fel, they appeared this morning in the middle of a space battle, I brought a disk with the battle on it." Pulled it out of his pocket and showed her, and then replaced it.
"So you are my children?" Padme asked
"Well yes, though I think if we started calling you Mom or Jaina and Jacen or even Ben, and if Anakin ever appears calls you Grandma they'll want to encase us all in Carbonite and since Han has already pulled that number let's not." Luke said smiling
"You have a son named Anakin, Luke?" Padme asked smiling sweetly
"No, nephew he was killed a few years ago, in a Jedi strike on Myrkr during the war that just ended." Luke said in a subdued tone.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know." Padme said a tear falling down her cheek.
"Its alright, he'll appear when he wants to, he is keeping an eye on the Sith Lord that Jaina and Anakin are going after." Leia said
"Okay, you know who the Sith Lord is?" Padme asked
"Yes, I was there when Anakin killed him in my time I was 24." Luke said
A blue shimmer appeared behind Anakin and Padme, the smile on Anakin's face told everyone he knew Anakin Solo was there. He floated up behind her and both Anakin's look like they were trying really hard not to laugh.
"Boo." He said right behind them, Padme jumped and shrieked then smacked the laughing Anakin's shoulder. "Hello Grandma." He gave a Solo smirk.
"Okay so your Uncle's right, that is a bit creepy. Hello Anakin." Padme said
"It's good to meet you, Anakin Solo, best of the Solo children, in smarts, mechanics, and flying and of course the Force." Smack. "Ow Jaina." Rubbing the back of his head hard. "How did you do that?"
"Your part of the Force little brother, you may be ethereal but you can still be hit with my famous force slap." Jaina said smiling
"I guess. Anyway you need to get her to the Temple; Sidious is coming for her you have ten minutes at most, if you must leave her bag, just get out, now. Anakin, Jaina, Luke and Obi-Wan, you stay for a few minute and head out, make it look like Anakin is being taken into custody by the Council, he'll run into you, tell him you have meeting with the Council, that you were just summoned. I must go, I'll see you later." Anakin disappeared again
"Alright, Anakin and Dorme grab the bags, 3PO lets go." C-3PO came into the room followed quickly by Dorme and Anakin carrying bags. Anakin handed the bags he was carrying to Jacen, they left quickly, they only had to wait 6 to8 minutes when Luke sucked in a breath. "He's here. Come on let's go, Jaina and Obi-Wan on either side of him, I'll pull up the rear. Let's go." They walked to the lift it opened and they entered, it went to the ground floor, it opened and there stood Palpatine, Anakin was confused for only a minute, he looked at Jaina out of the corner of his eye when she nodded by looking down at her feet her hand on her lightsaber and her other on his arm. "Excuse us, Chancellor we have been summoned by the Jedi High Council, for an emergency meeting, Jedi Solo, lead the way." Luke bowed his head at his enemy, as they walked passed.
"Wait why is Anakin being escorted to a meeting?" Palpatine demanded
"The Jedi High Councilors doesn't tell us everything, but it is probably has something to do with, The Sword of the Jedi having been activated. Excuse us, good day." Luke turned back and motioned for them continue on.
"Wait what is this Sword of the Jedi?" Palpatine demanded
"I'm sorry that is not your concern, good day." He didn't give Palpatine a chance to ask anything else. They were in the speeder and headed back to the Temple before anyone spoke.
"He's the Sith Lord, isn't he?" Anakin asked
"Yes." Luke said evenly
"Why did you mention Jaina's title?" Obi-Wan asked
"Because it will throw him, he'll try to figure out if there is someone more powerful than you to become his apprentice, it might buy us a few more days, and he'll probably be on the comm with Master Yoda in just a little while. We need to say something about Padme being sent into hiding because there have been a few attempts on her life, in the last few days, or something like that." Luke said in a voice Jaina didn't recognize.
"Agreed, and how is it possible that we didn't know this before, who he really was, how is that possible?" Anakin demanded
"The dark side is very powerful, it clouds things, and he is good at shrinking his presence in the force, if I didn't know who I was looking for, I might not have been able to sense him." Luke answered
"He has been manipulating us for a very long time from when Padme was still the Queen of Naboo." Obi-Wan said
"Yes, and he will continue until he is stopped, we must prepare them and quickly I have no doubt that if we sent them up against him now they would be victorious, but it might cost one or both of them there lives, I'm not willing to sanction a mission that Jaina might not come back from, my sister felt Anakin die, but I still had to go personally and tell my sister and best friend their son died on a mission I sanctioned, I won't do that again if there is another option." Luke was silent for just a moment, and decided to break the tension. "Jaina, you realize your poor dad about had a heart attack when you told Master Fisto you and Jag would be sharing a room right?" Silence greeted them. "Jaina?"
"There asleep." Luke looked back and Jaina was leaning on Anakin's shoulder and Anakin was leaning on her and his head was on hers. "How do they sleep like that?"
"There both fighter pilots, they sleep when the chance comes." Luke answered simply
"I guess, it just doesn't look comfortable." Obi-Wan said
"Well I guess your opinion would change if you had a wife to do that with." Luke said
"I'm too old to marry." Obi-Wan said. And Luke snorted
"Believe me your not." Luke said
"I am 37 years old." Obi-Wan said
"And? Han was roughly that when he married Leia. And I was 39, when I married Mara." Luke said
"Really?" Obi-Wan asked
"Yes, really, you're never too old to be loved Obi-Wan, you know it's weird all these years I've called you Ben unless I was at the Academy then it was Master Obi-Wan Kenobi." Luke said
"So how long did we know each other?" Obi-Wan asked
"From your point of view or just how long I actually knew you?"
"Both I guess."
"You took me to Tantooine, and watched over me from afar, anyway in 0 ABY we bought Artoo and C-3PO, and Artoo had a message in it from a Princess Leia Organa asking you for help, I went to dinner and went back to my workshop and Artoo was gone the next morning I followed him, and you found us when the Tuskin Raider attacked me, and saved me, you took me to your house and you gave me my father's lightsaber and asked me to go with you, you knew Leia was my sister but you couldn't tell me, I went home but the imperial storm troopers had kill my aunt and uncle, so I did go with you, we meet Han, he flew us in the Falcon toward Alderaan we were captured, you died on the Death Star, to give us a chance to get away with my sister and best friend. So I didn't know you very long, you came to me for years as a force ghost like Anakin, until right before the twins were born."
"So including the time as a ghost?" Obi-Wan asked
"Um, give me one second." Luke thought for a moment. "About 9 years give or take, or 28 if you count from when you took me into exile with you."
"Wow, so Han is ten years older than you?"
"Yes. But you'd never be able to tell, he makes me feel old most of the time." Luke admitted
"But you're younger? How does that work?" Obi-Wan asked
"I think because he had children to keep him young, and I was so busy with teaching new Jedi by myself, my Mara and I didn't get along until after 9 ABY the same year the twins were born. But we were just friend and fighting partners until 20 ABY when we married. And we didn't have Ben until 26 ABY." Right then they stopped the speeder in the hanger bay. "How about we put them into Healing Trace and carry them to their rooms?"
"I agree there worn-out they need to rest, mmm, what about their clothes, will Padme and Jag change them?" Obi-Wan asked
"Most likely, I know this is new to you, but they love each other and Jaina and Jag have been together for 2 years give or take, he'll take good care of her, and Anakin and Padme are married, so how do you think she got into the condition she's in?" Luke asked grinning
"Okay. Let's do this." They put their hands on Anakin and Jaina's forehead and put them into a trance. "Okay I'll take Anakin, you take Jaina. Then will meet with the Council in five minute, I sent a comm-text message to Master Yoda to not talk to Palpatine until we talk to them." Obi-Wan said
"Alright see you in a few minute." Luke said
Luke picked Jaina up and carried her to her door, he hit the buzzer, the door slid open and revealed Jag looking worried.
"What happened to her, I thought you weren't going to engage in a fight unless you couldn't avoid it." Jag asked worriedly
"We didn't, Anakin is the same see." He turned down the hall and saw Obi-Wan carrying Anakin, stopped in front of a door and pushed the buzzer. "They fell asleep in the speeder, we put them into Healing Traces so they could get there energy back after their fight today, I will leave her with you, you'll need to change her clothes, if your uncomfortable with that call her mother or Aunt." He handed Jaina to Jag he took her willingly.
"I'll take care of her. How do I wake her from the trance, in the morning?" Jag asked
"I'll come and pull her out. Good night Jag, and don't forget to eat she will rest even if you go to the mess. Okay." Luke said
"Yes, Sir."
"Oh and Jag, she'll love it." Luke said smiling.
"How did you know?"
Luke just smiled, nodded and walked away. Luke meet up with Obi-Wan down the hall and they went to the Jedi High Council's meeting room. As they entered everyone was there.
"Master Skywalker, we have a vacant seat that we've been too busy to fill with the war going on, this Council save Obi-Wan who wasn't here to vote, have voted you take that seat, would you like the seat?" Master Windu asked motioning for Luke to take a seat and he did so.
"Yes thank you, I appreciate it, but don't you want a Master from this time?"
"We are going to redo a lot of things within this Order, and some of it may be based on your Order, so your insight would be indispensable, but you're a Master, and have been for a very long time, you rebuilt by yourself an Order long since dead and made it a force to be reckoned with, from what you have told us it seems our Order has become stagnant and in need of revitalizing, once Sidious is taken care of we would like any and all your information on your order, so as to reorganize ourselves, and when these Vong come will be ready for them, with any and all data you have and the training you can give, we might be able to be rid of them before a war of the magnitude you have described brakes out." Master Fisto said
"I will be happy to provide any information you need, and I know I speak for us all even Han and Jag when I say we will be happy to train anyone and everyone as well." Luke said
"We thank you for that. Now we have business to discuss about Mrs. Skywalker am I right? Also there is something about your niece's title?" Master Yoda asked
"When we were leaving with Anakin in tow, just as Anakin Solo told us to do, which was to make Anakin look like he was being taken into custody by the Council, as we were leaving he demanded to know why Anakin was being escorted, I decided a little psychological warfare would be better than just saying we had teams of Jedi escorting the Senator to the temple, though when he contacts you, you may want to throw in she was taken off world for her own protection because of attempt on her life." Luke said
"Tried to contact me he has, busy I said I was." Yoda said. "We will discuss why we sent her away? Any ideas?" Obi-Wan and Luke exchanged a look and Obi-wan raised his hand when Luke nodded.
"Yes, Master Kenobi, an idea you have?" Yoda asked
"Yes Master, we were discussing after running into Sidious, how we can explain away Padme's sudden departure, Luke suggested and I agree, we can say she has had a number of attempt on her life in the past few days, so the Council sent Jedi to take her off planet. To an undisclosed location, until the Jedi have figured out who is doing it and have eliminated the threat to her." Everyone was nodding.
"Good very good, we will set that into motion when I speak to the Chancellor am I right in assuming he is also Sidious?" Yoda asked
"Yes, Master he is." Luke said in his serene voice.
"And what of the Sword of the Jedi? How do you want that to play out?" Master Windu asked
"If I was the one deciding I would tell him the prophecy Anakin Solo gave and then tell him the Sword has be recalled from the front lines or recently activated, and with Anakin have begun training together, because investigators are almost to the point of identifying the Sith Lord, when that is done they will be unleashed on him." Luke said
"Good, I like it. Are we in agreement?" Master Yoda asked
"Agreed."
"Unless someone else has something to bring before this Council, we are dismissed." Everyone began to rise, and leave.
Office of the Supreme Chancellor
What has happened, Anakin getting taken before the Council, Padme gone, and Yoda not answering his comm calls? Where did his perfectly laid plan go the one he has spent the last 14 years cultivating, now there is someone just as powerful as Anakin but it seems that when they fight together they are unstoppable, maybe he can lure both of them to the dark side, then they'd be his unstoppable force.
He tried to comm Anakin again, but still no answer. What is going on? Had they figured out who he was? No if they had, they would be here now, trying to arrest him. And that is almost laughable a simple Jedi wouldn't be able to take him down.
He has commed Anakin, again. Nothing. So he will send a comm-text.
Anakin,
I'm worried about you; you haven't answered any of my comm's. Why were you taken away by 3 Jedi? Are you in trouble I can come and get you?
And do you know where Senator Amidala is, she has disappeared, and no one knows where she is.
Comm me okay.
Your friend,
Palpatine
