Chapter II

Galen and the Council

"Did you just say he was strong in both sides of the Force?" Obi-Wan asked in disbelief.

"Yes." Anakin said. He was speaking to the Council about Galen and Ahsoka waited outside.

"Which side is he strongest in?" Master Windu asked.

"He is equally strong in both sides. But I can sense he is good."

"Hmmm… clouded from my vision, his intentions are."

"I think we should at least talk to him. Obi-Wan said.

"I agree." Yoda said.


Galen was nervous as he and Ahsoka waited for Anakin to exit the council room.

"No reason to be nervous." Ahsoka said. "There just as nervous are you are, wondering if you are a friend or foe. Though I'm pretty sure you're a friend."

At that moment Anakin walked out. "The council will see both of you now."


"What is your impression of this boy?" Obi-Wan asked Ahsoka.

"Friendly and a healthy appetite. He nearly ate a weeks' worth of food after he woke up yesterday." The young girl said.

"Name yourself." Master Windu said.

"Galen Marek."

"Anakin said you have amnesia. Care to elaborate on that?" Obi-Wan asked.

"My oldest memory is waking up with Ahsoka sitting next to my bed."

"Masters, is there any way to help him?" Ahsoka asked.

"Well, he could try,"

"Meditating?" Galen said, cutting off Obi-Wan.

"How did you know I was going to say that?"

"I didn't, it just came to me." Galen said.

"Ahsoka, accompany him to the mediation room, you will." Yoda said.

"Yes master."


Instead of sitting on one of the cushions like Ahsoka, Galen sat on the floor instead. As he began to focus the cushions including the one she was sitting on began to float around the room, as did other miscellaneous items.

He does this when he meditates? His connection to the Force must be even stronger than we thought!


Meanwhile in Galen's mind…

"A Son?...You were weak when I found you. Now your hate has made you strong."

"You reek of that coward Vader."

"Master! We can defeat him together!"

"You killed me!"

"He said you were dead, but you came back."

"We will join your alliance."

"You promised to stay away!"

"I lied."

"You have nothing left to teach me."

"Yes kill him he was weak! Kill him and you can take your rightful place at my side."

"NO!"

"Protect the Senators!"

"Will I ever see you again?"


"Ahaaaaaa!" Galen cried before he passed out as everything fell to the floor. "Galen!"

A week has passed since then, the only result was few hazy images and some mental trauma. Ahsoka has helped him through it.

"How is he?" Anakin asked.

"He's still recovering from the trauma and he still has nightmares as a result." Ahsoka said.

"They say your presence keeps him calm."

"Really?"

"Yes. Which is why he's coming with us."

"Is it safe for Galen to travel? The Council said that his attempt at recovering his memory would have damaged his mind if the connection didn't break when it did."

"The Council has assigned him as our companion. Actually where is he?"

"Honing his saber skills with master Windu."


"I'm impressed." Mace Windu said after he and Galen had finished sparring. "Your skills suggest that not only have you been trained from a young age, but you have mastered the single saber style."

"There is another style other than that?"

"Two other styles. Dual sabers and the double bladed lightsaber."

"Master Windu." Anakin said entering, "It's time."

"Right. Galen you are about to be sent or you first mission for the Republic."


"You will be going to Kashyyyk, escorting senator Yarua. The Separatists have placed a bounty on his head. You will escort him to Kashyyyk and remain as his body guards until we can find the Bounty Hunter after him." Master Windu said. "Galen, you will accompany them."

"Yes Master Windu."

"May the Force be with us all."
