Chapter 3: The Jedi's Answer
Learning is a gift – Teachers/Professors
Harry was in the cockpit as they approach Coruscant. To him, it was simply amazing. Not even New York City or even cities like Hong Kong, London or Tokyo could match the beauty the lights of the entire planet were giving. He was more surprise the entire planet was a capital. Then again, he was surprise that this universe was separate by planets and systems.
They enter the orbit of the planet and Harry was simply amaze by the amount of ships and speeders flying around. Even Bao-Dur who has never been to the capital was amaze at the sheer numbers of them.
"There's Chancellor's Valorum shuttle. And look; Senator Palpatine is there waiting for us."
Harry did not like Palpatine at once. The same sinister aura that attack Qui-Gon was even worse around Palpatine.
They landed on the platform and Harry stood close to Qui-Gon as he walk towards Senator Palpatine and Chancellor Valorum who were surrounded by mean wearing blue robes that seem to be royal guards.
"May I say it's a gift to see you alive your majesty. With the communications break down, we've been very concern. I'm anxious to hear your report on the situation. May I present Chancellor Valorum." Senator Palpatine replied.
"Welcome your highness. It's an honor to finally meet you in person." Chancellor Valorum replied.
"Thank you Chancellor."
"I must relate to you how distress everyone is over the current situation. I've called for an emergency session of the Senate, too hear your position." Chancellor Valorum stated.
"I'm grateful for your concern Chancellor." The Queen replied.
Senator Palpatine led the Queen and her guards away leaving the Jedi's with Chancellor.
"I must speak to the Jedi Council immediately. The situation has become much more complicated." Qui-Gon reported.
Harry and Bao-Dur stood close by the two Jedi's instead of leaving with the Queen. Anakin look back; unsure of where to go. He only went to the Queen's shuttle after Padme called him.
Harry and Bao-Dur got in the shuttle with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.
Harry said nothing but kept his focus on the things in front of him. He didn't have to wait long to see a five towers standing tall in the middle of no where. Harry and Bao-Dur followed the two Jedi's as they entered the highest tower and soon entered a room. The door closed shut in front of them. Harry press his ear on the door and could hear Qui-Gon giving his report.
"...He was well train in the Jedi arts. My only conclusion can be... it was a Sith Lord." Qui-Gon finished.
"Impossible, the Sith have been extinct for a millennium." Master Ki-Adi Mundi replied.
"I do not believe the Sith could have return without us knowing." Master Mace Windu commented.
"Awe, hard to see the Dark Side is." Master Yoda replied.
"We will use all our resources to unravel this mystery. We will discover the identity of your attacker. May the Force be with you." Mace Windu replied.
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon didn't move.
"Master Qui-Gon, more to say have you?" Yoda asked.
"With your permission my master." Qui-Gon replied. Yoda gave a swift nod and Qui-Gon continued. "I have encountered a vergence in the Force."
"A vergence you say?" Yoda repeated Qui-Gon's words.
"Located around a person?" Mace Windu asked.
"A boy. His cells have one of the highest concentrations of midi-cholorians count I have ever seen in a life form. It is possible he was conceived by the mid-cholorians." Qui-Gon replied. Several of the council members looked at one another. Unsure if they believe the words from Qui-Gon's mouth.
"You're referring to the prophecy of the one who will bring balance to the Force. You believe it's this... boy?" Mace Windu asked.
"I don't presume..." Qui-Gon began.
"But you do! Revealed your opinion is." Yoda interrupted. Qui-Gon always wanted to know how nothing could get past the old Jedi Master.
"I request the boy to be tested." They all looked at one another again before nodding.
"Train as a Jedi, you request for him?" Yoda asked.
"Finding him was the will of the Force. I have no doubt of that. There is too much happening here..."
Yoda calmly looks at Mace Windu before Mace Windu sighs. "Bring him before us, then."
"Tested he will be." Yoda replied.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan both bowed. Qui-Gon made to leave but Obi-Wan remain behind.
"Padawan Kenobi, something else too add." Yoda asked.
"Yes my masters. There was also another incident of another vergence of the Force."
"Another..." Yoda repeated surprise.
"With the highest midi-cholorian count I have ever seen in my life time. Far higher than any Jedi could have ever dreamed of." Obi-Wan replied.
"How high are you talking about?" Mace Windu asked; slightly afraid of the answer.
"Over a hundred thousand."
This created a both a surprise feeling and a bit of fear inside the Jedi's.
"Where is the boy?" Ki-Adi Mundi asked.
"Outside the doors." Obi-Wan answered. Now the council was surprise. They didn't even sense the boy.
"Send him in." Mace Windu replied after a few moments of silence.
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon bowed and left. The door slides open and Qui-Gon completely ignores Harry with a look of disgust on his face. Obi-Wan ushers past to keep up with his master, but he gives Harry a small reassuring smile. Harry took a deep breath and enters the council chambers. Harry stood in the middle; feeling nervous. He hadn't felt this nervous since the Sorting at Hogwarts. He calmed his breathing and soon emptied his mind. He found, it was much easier now than it was with Snape around.
"How is it; that you can stand mere feet from us, yet we cannot sense anything from you." Ki-Adi Mundi asked.
Harry frowned. His eyes narrowed down dangerously. So they were silently speaking to each other. But how? They didn't move their hands or make eye contact with each other.
'Must be this Force they keep talking about. They can communicate with their minds. Sounds too much like that damn Legilimency Voldemort was famous for using.'
"I have learned to close my mind. I'm a beginner, but there are others who have mastered this art so well they are considered to be the best spies out there." Harry replied.
"Impressive, learn this can we?" Yoda asked with eagerness.
"Um, I've never taught anyone this skill." Harry replied nervously.
"Yet, you come before us." Mace Windu replied.
"Because I have brought him here." another voiced appeared.
A young woman, with short brown hair wearing a strange yellow and brown suit appeared. She would look very alive if she wasn't surrounded by a blue aura. She places her hands on Harry's shoulder's and Harry at once felt the coldness leave him and warmth spread through his body. It almost felt like eating chocolate after being near a dementor but even better.
"Jedi Master Bastila Shan." Ki-Adi Mundi replied. All the Jedi's have heard the stories of this legendary Jedi. Many of them were still unable to believe she was standing before them.
"I don't have much time. I can only linger here for only a moment. This boy is the Chosen One. He must be train as a Jedi. For we all know, if you refuse him... the Sith will find and corrupt him into the Dark Side."
"Is that why you brought him here?" Mace Windu asked.
"The Dark Side has started to cloud everything. I cannot be one with the Force much longer. The Sith have return and are much more prepared to handle the Jedi Order and the Republic. It is my personal belief that the Sith have infiltrated the Senate itself. Are the Jedi's strong enough to over this challenge? I am started to fear they aren't. In fact, I cannot see any Jedi's in the near future. I named him Revan after my husband."
"You also named him Revan to bring fear to the Sith for after your husbands redemption; brought fear into the hearts and soul of the Sith Empire." Plo Koon replied.
"He has a pure heart. Is headstrong and courageous. He knows very little fear. But he needs a good teacher to train him in the ways of the Force. He has never known his parents; they were murder when he was a baby."
"A dark past. I do know this; his scar has been touch by great evil. The presence of the Dark Side is lingered in that scar." Mace Windu replied.
"A Dark Lord attempted to kill him when he was a baby. A year old to be exact. His resistances the Dark Side. He has proven that many times in his life. Even to go to great length to save another even if they mean nothing to him. He holds all the traits needed to be a true Jedi."
The Jedi Council said nothing. Finally Yoda, spoke.
"Take him as a Padawan, I will."
"That choice is yours and yours alone Master. I cannot stay any longer. The fate of the other boy should be in his hands as well. May the Force stay with you... it is no longer with me." Bastila replied as she faded away.
{The Force shall be with you, always. As part of our agreement, I will erase your memories of your previous life. Until then, you will have the talents of Darth Revan; you will have his mind and abilities along with your own natural gifts. However, to assist you, I have reincarnated another Jedi of Revan's followers into another young Jedi your age. To find her, you only need to trust your insights. Remember, search for the Star Maps. End the Sith reign; and I shall return you to where you are needed most. Until we meet again, May the Force be with you.}
Harry was sure only he heard those words in his head.
"It's agreed then; Master Yoda shall take young Revan as his Jedi Padawan." Mace Windu replied. Everyone nodded. Harry had a gut feeling if Bastila Shan hasn't appeared, they would have never accepted him.
"Come young Padawan; show you your quarters I will."
"Master, Bao-Dur my companion is gifted as an engineer and mechanic. Is there a school or an academy we can place him to honor his skills?" Harry asked.
"Hmm, place him, in the Jedi Corps I will. Stay in the temple he will." Yoda replied.
Harry said nothing but followed the old Jedi Master. In many ways, he reminded him of Dumbledore.
He said nothing during his trip to his room. But he did see several classes and lessons around as he passes what appeared to be the main hall. Young children, some his age to those who were barely hold enough to walk were training blindfolded with blue or green lightsabers.
Harry and Yoda walk down a few levels before he came across rooms with a lot of doors. Yoda finally open one at the end. Harry was surprise to see it was so large.
"My old padawan's room, this is. Use it well, you will." Yoda replied.
Harry said nothing but moved around the room. It was going to be large enough to serve him for years. The door closed telling Harry he was alone. He threw his cloak aside and collapse on the bed. For the first time in a long time; he was happy. He also felt, as if he could do anything.
Harry woke up feeling refresh and clear. He got up and walk towards where he some how knew was the dining area.
He walks and got his breakfast. He sat at a table where Bao-Dur was eating.
"I heard you got accepted as a Jedi apprentice by Master Yoda." A young boy replied.
"Yea, I like him." Harry replied.
"You're lucky. I got Master Siri Tachi who studied at the feet of Master Adi Gallia." The boy replied.
"Who are you?" Harry asked.
"I'm Ferus Olin."
"Revan." Harry replied shaking the boy's hand.
"You better get going; I know Master Yoda is one of the hardest Jedi Master's to learn from." Ferus replied. Harry said nothing but ate his food quickly and left to meet Master Yoda.
He didn't have to look far. Master Yoda was teaching children half his size with blindfolds on their heads. Like Bao-Dur had a small remote floating around them.
Harry stood by the door; waiting and watching the student's practice. Though he couldn't truly remember doing anything like the younglings before him, but his body seemed to remember.
Yoda finally let the younglings go down too eat before he approached Harry.
"Ready, are you?" Yoda asked.
"I am."
"Sense your fear I can. Let yourself go." Yoda replied. Harry said nothing but took a deep breath and calmed down. His fear was normal, he was afraid he wouldn't do so well. He was finally calmly down and getting less tense.
"Run the obstacle course, you should." Yoda replied pointing behind him. Harry palled. The course was long and huge. "Trust the Force. Help you it will." Harry closed his eyes and cleared his mind.
The training course was nearly murder. Harry knew it was going to be. But he didn't expect the Jedi Master to climb on his back during the training course. Yoda kept talking and speaking his words backwards causing a great deal of confusion with Harry. He completed the course after every muscle in his body was aching.
"Rest, feel the Force flow through your body. Embrace it you should." Yoda replied.
Harry half wanted to collapse and fall unconscious. However he listens to Yoda and could feel his mind regaining strength. It was clearer and he felt less exhausted.
Siri Tachi was a respected Jedi Knight. Though she was brand new, she believed it was best to train a padawan as a fresh Jedi. Not only would it show growth in the padawan but in her as well giving her a new experience and greater learning than she had as a padawan. That was, until her old Master Adi Gallia told her that Grand Master Yoda taking a new apprentice. She was shock, even more shock to hear that the council said it was the Chosen One; the one who will bring balance to the Force.
She gathered her wits and let her curiosity take over her. She watches the young man, who used the ancient Jedi name 'Revan' train under Yoda. He grasps and took everything Yoda had to throw at him with ease.
She shuddered coldly as she remembered as a Padawan she walked into the Cave of Darth Revan on Dantooine. Revan's power was great, greater than anything she had ever faced. Even Master Adi Gallia said no one in the Jedi Order had the power to vanish the Dark Lord in over three thousand years. What caused her to be afraid was if this boy was someone his reincarnated. That would spell doom for the Jedi Order.
"You have much reason to be afraid, Master Tachi." A voice startled her from behind. She turns to see Master Ki-Adi Mundi with her padawan Ferus Olin.
"Master, are you sure it wise to train the boy?" Siri asked causing her padawan to look at her in confusion.
"Yes. The Force flows strong within him. He also has a good heart. Also, it's good for Master Yoda. He hasn't taken on an apprentice since Count Dooku. He shows even greater promise."
"But that's what worries me Master. Did you forget, that nearly four thousand years ago, Revan single handily nearly ended the Jedi Order" Siri replied.
"That is true. But what you must remember is while we must take actions for our actions. The teachers must take responsibility for their teachings. Something many teachers do not do." Master Ki-Adi Mundi replied. However he stops as Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's voice could be heard though the hall.
"Don't defy the council, not again master." Obi-Wan's voice replied.
"Anakin will be a Jedi." Qui-Gon said.
"The boy will not pass the council's test. He's too old." Obi-Wan replied.
"You still have much to learn my young apprentice. I foresee you becoming a great Jedi Knight. However, Anakin is the Chosen One. He will be a Jedi."
"They're at it again." Ki-Adi Mundi sighs as the two continued to bicker.
Harry leaps over the training dummy and swungs his blue training lightsaber at it. The dummy swung its saberstaff and connected with Harry's lightsaber, creating a lighting sound crackle. Harry ducks the blow coming from the other end of the saberstaff and moves in again for the next attack. The other end of the saberstaff soon came near him and he blocked it.
"Remember, the lightsaber is an extension of your arm, your mind, your very being, it must be. Understand this do you, Revan, my young padawan?" Yoda replied.
"Yes Master." Harry replied as he attack training droid. Yoda however seem to come to the term that Harry was having an easier time with the droid and let out a few remotes firing their yellows lasers.
Harry was silently cursing Master Yoda as he now seemed to be dancing around like a buffoon. The yellow blaster bolts were nearly impossible to dodge. Even more difficult to dodge. But he was learning well and the Force and his reflexes soon started to help him over whelm the training dummies. After nearly an hour of fighting, dodging and just trying to stay alive; the training dummy and remotes went silent. Harry collapse without even trying to stop himself.
"Did well, you did. Rest."
"Are you trying to kill me?" Harry gasp out loud between breathes. Yoda merely smiled before he turns around and left.
Siri Tachi watches the boy for several minutes before he got back up and attacked the training dummy again. Finally she gathered her Padawan and left. Still unsure about the new padawan under Master Yoda's care.
Revan somehow managed to get himself to the dinning room without help from the Jedi walking around him. He was sore and exhausted. He sat down and looked at the food before him. He sighs, unsure of himself. His head was screaming in agony just like his head.
A loud snapping noise caused Revan to jump from his seat and to look up at a young girl his own age sitting across from him.
"You look disturb." She stated as she sat down.
"You could say I'm confused." Revan stated. She said nothing, but ate her food calmly.
"I'm Jaden, Padawan under Master Kavar."
"Revan, Padawan under Master Yoda." Revan greeted. Jaden said nothing.
"That's rare. Master Yoda mostly spends his time teaching and training the younglings. I don't think he's had a Padawan in nearly sixty years. Not since Dooku." Jaden replied.
"Well, I'm strong in the Force. Master Yoda said I needed the best teacher and he said he would train me." Revan replied.
"Well, you must be strong. Master Kavar took me because I'm a skilled swordsman like himself. Though I think I rather master the Force than lightsaber combat."
Revan merely smiled. He than began to ask her what being a Padawan was like and she told him it was hard because her master trained her to her fullest potential. Yoda was a powerful and wise Jedi Master. He had train thousands of Jedi's. Only know to have taken a few as his personal students. Jaden than asked him what his lessons so far were like and Revan merely stated Master Yoda never gave him a easy time learning.
Revan return to the training room with Jaden. He had a new idea for training. Jaden of course, was already interested in it.
They both activated their lightsabers, the blue light hummed silently next to the remote droids hissing sounds around them. Yellow blaster lights started shooting and they both dodge and attack one another. Jaden, who has been train much longer, used the style Makashi while Revan was using an incomplete style of Juyo. Revan was merely moving on instinct rather than knowledge and skill. Jaden was moving with grace and knowledge of her form.
Revan attack her leg and she block it before they step around each other. Revan brought up his lightsaber blocking the yellow blaster bolt; causing it to redirect at Jaden's face. She moved to the side, crouching low. Revan made a leap attack at her, but she parried the blow. She blocks a blaster bolt towards her side, causing it to head towards Revan leg. He moves out the way, momentarily losing his balance. Jaden, seeing a weakness, moved to capitalize on him. Revan embrace her attack and flip her over him.
Quickly regain his balance, he moves in for the kill. Jaden however, also quickly recovered and countered his attack. They spun around, leap, and moved at high speeds it was almost as if they were dancing and manipulating each other's moves. They both spun around each other and felt the lightsaber near their cheek.
They both were panting and sweating. The duel had been long and tiring. The conclusion had become a draw. Suddenly, they both yelp back in pain and surprise. A yellow blaster bolt had hit them both.
"Well done, the both of you. Very rare to see two promising students perform an excellent duel." A female voice replied.
Standing at the door way were several people gathered around. In the front, was a young woman with red skin and black eyes. She had two horns like sticking out of her head that were blue and white.
"Master Shaak Ti." Jaden replied in surprise.
"You two are truly one of a kind."
Revan said nothing, a bit surprise that he didn't sense anyone watching. It just showed how much he was focus into the duel. He needed to learn how to sense things while in the middle of a fight.
A young male step forward and Jaden left at once as he ushered aside. Master Yoda came in and took Revan alongside him. Shaak Ti smiled pleasantly before him before she too disappeared.
"Friends, have you've made, young Padawan?"
"I think so." Revan stated. Yoda instead gave him a rare smile before he took him to the Jedi Library. He then had him read several holocrons before he would teach him another lesson.
Revan was finding the life of a Jedi interesting yet boring. It sounded like they did very little help the Galaxy but were consider a primary factor for the Galactic Republic.
Inside the Jedi High Council Chambers, the twelve Jedi Masters sat around, Anakin Skywalker, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
"Correct you are, Master Qui-Gon." Yoda began.
"The boy has one of the highest levels of midi-cholorians we have ever encountered." Ki-Adi Mundi replied.
"He is to be train as a Jedi then?" Qui-Gon asked.
"Were not sure if he can be train as a Jedi." Mace Windu replied calmly.
"What?" Qui-Gon replied. He looks at his fellow Jedi Master's in uncertain. Almost in disbelief at the words he heard. "He is the Chosen One. You must see that." Qui-Gon argued.
"No patience, he has much anger, much fear inside of him. Train as a Jedi, we are uncertain he can become one." Yoda replied.
"I will train him then. I will take Anakin Skywalker as my Padawan Learner." Qui-Gon Jinn replied resting his hands on Anakin's shoulders.
"A padawan you already have, impossible to take a second." Yoda replied.
"The code forbids it." Ki-Adi Mundi replied.
"Obi-Wan is ready to face the trails."Qui-Gon replied. He look at Obi-Wan in hope to gain some support in his decision.
"I am ready to face the trails."
"Oh, ready are you?" Yoda asked.
"The Council decides when you're ready." Mace Windu replies as he narrows his eyes at the duo.
"Obi-Wan is more than ready to face the trails. He is young and headstrong. But, there is very little he can learn from me."
"We will make our decision after young Skywalker's second test. Too see if he can become a Jedi. But now is not the time to be talking about this. Queen Amidala has decided to return to Naboo."
"This move will cause the Federation to attempt to control the Queen before the situation turns against them." Plo Koon replied.
"And it may draw out the Queen's attacker." Ki-Adi Mundi stated.
"Qui-Gon, you are to return to the Queen and protector her no matter. But this time, you will not going alone. You are the senior Jedi Master. We will also send Master Siri Tachi along with her Padawan Ferus Olin." Plo Koon replied.
"Master Kavar and his Padawan Jaden will also be joining." Mace Windu added.
"Take my Padawan, you will. Listen to him, you should." Yoda added after Mace Windu finished.
Qui-Gon's face fell. It was clear that he distrust the young Padawan. He even believed Master Yoda was making a mistake training him as a Jedi.
"May the Force be with you." Mace Windu replied ending the discussion. Qui-Gon wanted to voice his opinion about young Revan but didn't. He merely bowed like Kenobi and Anakin and left.
Revan was lying on his bed when the door hissed open. It's only been four days, yet he felt he had been here years. He looks up and sees the ancient Jedi Master leaning in his doorway.
"A mission, you have."
This caught Revan by surprise; he didn't expect to be on a mission so soon.
"To Naboo, assist the Queen you will. A reason, for your arrival has to do with the Queen needs."
"When should I leave?" Revan asked.
"Be ready at sunlight. Wear this, you should." Yoda levitated a mask at Revan. Revan caught it and look at it. It was black with visors on the eyes.
"Your identity, hidden it must be until ready you are."
"What you mean?"
Yoda said nothing but left. Revan said nothing but put the mask on. It was tight, making it difficult to breath. He could barely see through the mask. However, he didn't take it off. He felt better this way. He lays down and let sleep consume him.
The next morning, on the Naboo platform, the Jedi's and the Queen was getting ready for takeoff. Her security guards and handmaidens were all getting on board. Revan scan the area for any signs of an attack. However, it was hard to tell in this area. Speeders were moving around like insects. It was also hard because Jar Jar was jumping up and down, excited to return home.
Qui-Gon greeted the Queen and introduces Master Kavar and Siri Tachi, along with their padawans. He seemed focusing on ignoring Revan.
Revan got on board and took the co-pilot seat. Ric Olie was sitting in the captain seat. It wasn't long before they took off into space, heading straight for Naboo, and straight for war.
A/N - Sorry this took so long. I lost a lot of data and the original chapter so I had to start over. I'm working on the next chapter Naboo's Last Stand and the next chapter for Magical Chronicles. I'm also going to start doing Character Bio's. What do you think of the Jedi's Exile name of Jaden? I got the name from Jedi Academy II, and thought it would be perfect.
