Chapter 2: Patience

13 year old Jaune Arc, formerly known as Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi, sat in his apartment room meditating on his predicament. It had been 3 months since his arrival to Remnant and since then he was in a loop. A planet who had no spaceflight capabilities, had an endless horde of creatures known as Grimm who stalk and prey on anything living, a species known as Faunus that are considered second-class to humans, and finally Huntsman, the heroes of Humanity and Faunus-kind, who fight the Grimm and assist in political affairs of the four Kingdoms, Vacuo, Vale, Mistral, and Atlas.

Jaune however, lived a life of the Jedi. He had knowledge of spaceflight, met numerous species in his travels, fought dozens of opponents, like the CIS Droid Army, and the Imperial Clone Troopers now turned Storm Troopers, and had the similar position as a Jedi to mingle with galactic affairs such as the blockade of Naboo, The Mandalorian affairs, and many others. He wasn't given the title the "Negotiator" for nothing.

Unfortunately, he realized Jaune's life before him wasn't as simple as he thought it to be. Most particularly, his sisters. Before he was given the new chance to live again, Jaune was dressed up as a girl constantly, Being the only boy in the family, his father not being in the picture anymore, due to cheating on his wife with another woman, Jaune was at the mercy of eight women.

That was until Obi Wan inherited his body. The girls immediately knew something was different, Jaune was more conservative, reserved, calm, patient, and even more weirder, more mentoring. He was suddenly skilled in conversations, fighting off bullies who attacked his sisters with mere words, but what scared everyone was when words failed, Jaune fought them off expertly. With his hands, he aimed for pressure points or somehow pushing them away with an invisible push, But it was with a stick or anything that could be used as a sword that he excelled in worrying them. He demonstrated professional stances and forms, unknown to them that gave him a huge advantage over his opponents. He even was able to block dust rounds. That event was what terrified his sisters.

During one of their trips to the market, The sisters were looking at new comic books when a man strolled in and began shooting at everyone, mostly at Faunus. As he was screaming insults at the Faunus, the sisters jumped to the floor, and watched in horror as the man suddenly aimed his weapon as the youngest sister, Lily, a lion faunus who was adopted into the family. The man fired but the round never hit Lily, because Jaune appeared out of nowhere and blocked the bullet with a metal pipe. The aggressor fired again, and Jaune twirled the pipe around and once again blocked the round.

Losing his patience, the man unleashed everything he had, switching the gun to automatic, smirking as he pictured the boy to go down for defending an animal. He, alongside everyone in the store were shocked as Jaune blocked every single shot, before returning to his defensive stance. The man now enraged, charged at the boy, only to be thrown back into the wall by an invisible force which knocked him unconscious.

The police were baffled, but grateful that the suspect was alive and no one was hurt. Jaune however received no heartwarming gestures at home. His mother forbid him to fight and his sisters rebuked him for almost getting himself killed. Unsatisfied with the disrespect for saving Lily, Jaune packed what he could and in the middle of the night, snuck out. Or tried to.

Lily was also leaving. She had heard about a new organization called the White Fang forming nearby and wanted to join. Having a troubling feeling about the organization, Jaune convinced her to join him instead and within four days, the two were now hundreds of miles away from their hometown of Arcadia. Jaune negotiated a peace deal with the mayor and a dust company known as the SDC. The mayor, grateful for the boy's masterful display of persuasion, gave him and Lily free room and board. Jaune used his Jedi skills to help around the town, while also becoming a teacher to Lily. However the town was not without its share of trouble.

Jaune meditated peacefully for a few moments before hearing footsteps approaching. He opened his eyes and saw Lily begin to sit in front of him. The boy studied his younger sister before reaching out with the Force to feel her emotions. After a moment, he spoke. "Something troubles you, Lily?"

Lily shuffled uncomfortable at her brother's gaze. "I saw a group of boys beat a faunus girl down the alleyway. I wanted to help, but I was scared of what might have happened if I did." she lowered her gaze to her feet. Jaune frowned. Being a Faunus was harsh. Sometimes, they were treated more like a slave than a civilian, and even humans who help were subject to torture if they were found out.

Taking a deep breath, the boy spoke. "I could only wish that you could have, Lily, but then I would have to save you." Lily looked at her brother as he continued. "In time, you will be able to defend you own against men and women who harbor such hate, but be patience, Lily. Such abilities are learned in a short period of time, but to be victorious in all your conflicts, you must master said abilities which unfortunately takes many months, even years. And even more so, you must learn to enter any conflict with the right reason. Defending people is noble, but they might not think you are defending them if you engage the threat on the offensive."

Jaune watched as Lily began to soak in his words. After a moment, she looked up. "And what could I do to help them now?" Jaune smiled sadly. She sounded so much like Anakin, always wanting to find an immediate solution to the problem at hand. Taking this into account, he replied. "Patience. Use your head. Unnecessary fighting is usually started by those who rush in without thinking. You must remember to always seek a peaceful solution first. Words can do many things yours hands cannot. Even stop wars."

Lily frowned but nodded her head. Jaune got up to a kneeling position and placed a hand on Lily's shoulder causing the young to look at her brother face to face. Jaune gave a warm smile before ending his lesson. "Immediate solutions are hard to come by these days, Lily, but remember: Even an instant solution to your problems may not be the best solution."

Lily lowered her head and sighed. "I understand, Jaune."

Jaune patted her shoulder and stood up. "I certainly hope so, my very young sister. Now, if I am not mistaken, I believe dinner time is fast approaching. Are you hungry for anything in particular?"

Almost immediately, Lily's eyes lit up and she jumped to her feet. "Can we have dino nuggets tonight?" she asked with eagerness. Jaune chuckled before rubbing her head as if she was a pet. "Yes, little one, I do believe we have some in the fridge. Now go wash up"

Lily sped away to the bathroom, while Jaune walked to the fridge. Lily was still learning about life but in time she will grow to be in every way the Jedi Jaune had wanted Anakin to be. The thought of his former padawan made his stop for a moment and revel in sadness. He missed his old friend. Maybe he had finally found peace. Jaune could only guess and hope.

"Jaune?" Lily's voice broke him out of his thoughts. He turned to look at his sister who sported a worried expression on her face. "Is everything ok?"

Jaune gave her a cheesy smile and nodded. "Yes, Lily, I was just reminding myself of home, but I do not wish to give you another lesson. Right now, you should be setting the table. Now go on."

Lily's grin came back and she rushed off to gather the plates and silverware while the former Jedi opened the fridge and pulled out the big bag of dino-shaped chicken nuggets. This world needed help, but luckily for Jaune…

...Helping was a Jedi specialty.
