ANOTHER SKYWALKER chapter 7
Superdigidude: I don't own Star Wars or any of its characters
Summary: Almost a year has passed since the Rebel Alliance defeated the Empire. The past year was spent on destroying the last remnants of the Empire. A New Republic was formed as Leia became Chief of State. Luke continued his job as pilot and Jedi Master while Anakin went off to look for an apprentice to train. Now the three Skywalkers are meeting again after the time period but trouble always follows...
"So how do we find this guy? We don't even now where he went" said Han and Chewie growled in agreement.
"I don't know but there was defiantly something different about him" said Anakin. "What do you think Luke?"
They turned to hear Luke's opinion to see that he was zoned out. "Luke are you okay?" asked Leia in a soft voice.
"That room" said Luke still in a trance like state. "Something happen in that room that changed the path of our father."
"What do you mean?" asked Anakin intrigued.
"When we were in that chamber room I felt a strong force presence" Luke tried to explain.
"Look I'm as interested in the force as anyone else but our main concern is this mysterious villain" said Han trying to get back on track.
"Alright, why don't Leia and Han try and find out about this new 'threat'" said Anakin. "And me and Luke can look into whatever look is getting through the force."
"Alright, I'll see if any of my old smuggling buddies, have heard of this guy" said Han with a nod.
"Do we really have to separate? This is supposed to be a reunion" protested Leia.
"I'll get my padawan and we can head to the Jedi Temple" said Anakin as he walked off.
"What is this place, Master?" asked Teus.
"This is the old Jedi Temple, you might've been trained here if it weren't for the empire" said Anakin as they headed to the turbolifts.
Anakin looked around and grimaced as he saw blaster burns in the wall. Lightsaber marks, even bodies around the temple. He hated knowing his father was partly if not wholly responsible for it.
"We're here" announced Luke as they came to the top floor.
Anakin looked at Teus who was taking in the surroundings. He didn't show any emotion but Anakin knew he was taking it in. They came to the doors as they slid in they entered. The three force users stepped into the middle of the circle like so many Jedi before them.
Luke and Anakin felt through the force and it was unbelievably strong here. Anakin took a step back as he turned and saw his father sitting in his council chair, looking as young as he did then.
"So you have returned to the Jedi Temple" spoke Skywalker.
"Father, what is this place?" asked Luke. "Why is the force so strong here?"
"This place is where the almost every great Jedi once gathered. I was the only one who wasn't ready" said Anakin a somewhat sad expression.
"Anakin, are you still putting yourself down?" asked another voice which turned out to be Obi-Wan Kenobi in another chair.
"Sorry master" said Anakin like an obedient padawan.
"What's going on Master?" asked Teus with a confused look.
"Ah, a padawan, have you?" asked the familiar voice of Yoda.
"Okay, who else is going to show up?" asked Anakin jr. impatiently causing the senior Jedi to laugh.
"Patience you have not learned yet" said Yoda.
"Master, Ben, Father, there's a new threat, is he a force user?" asked Luke.
"See this you cannot?" asked Yoda. "Be careful you must, if cloudy the future becomes."
"Could the dark side return?" asked Anakin Jr.
"Where there is good; evil will always be there, obvious or not" said Obi-Wan.
"Where's your sister?" asked Anakin randomly.
"She's with Han looking for the man" said Luke. Anakin slightly cringed when Luke said she was with Han.
"Wait, so Mrs. Solo, is the daughter of Anakin Skywalker?" asked Teus.
"Yea" said Anakin jr.
"So she's a Jedi too" he stated.
"Eventually Leia will harness her power, when she is ready" said Obi-Wan.
"Okay back to the point at hand" said Luke. "Any thoughts on where to start?"
"To Yavin 4 return" said Yoda. "After this meeting, no longer can we help. A personal journey this is."
Ironically the three Jedi bowed before the old Masters, just like the past Jedi would.
Meanwhile Han, Leia and Chewbacca had begun their search...
"Alright I've been able to call in a few favors" reported Han.
"And??" said Leia.
"Well we still don't have any leads on this guy" said Han. "But my buddy in air traffic said no ships of that type have left the planet."
Chewie made a growl. "That's right, he's still on the planet" said Han.
"Well great that narrows our search to billions of people" said Leia sarcastically.
"Chances are he's somewhere in the city underground, we can start there" said Han. "And Princess you may want to where a disguise."
"I know the drill by now, Han" said Leia as she went to change.
"Chewie listen, I've got a real lead I need you to check out" whispered Han as Leia left. "I just don't wanna in danger Leia."
Han explained the situation to Chewbacca before sending the wookie off on his mission.
"There it is Teus, Yavin 4" said Anakin as their startships came up on the moon.
"Let's land near the old temple, I've been having supplies sent here. Hopefully we can have a temple here one day" said Luke.
"Did you plan on telling me this?" asked Dave.
"Eventually" said Luke with a grin.
They entered the atmosphere and landed their ships. After getting everything settled they started on a plan.
"So I think we might be able to find some answer in some of the old ruins" said Luke. Slowly Luke's voice began to fade and Anakin felt light headed. Soon everything was a blur and there was a flash of red.
It was his father, then there was another person, a dark jedi. She was bald and had grayish skin, and wore black clothing. She was battling with two lightsabers while his father had one. Then Anakin lost his lightsaber but was able to get one of the siths. Then his father gave into the dark side, he began to hammer Venteress down like Luke had to Vader except he killed her.
Then Anakin was back with Luke and Teus.
"I think we should search the temple remains" said Anakin suddenly.
"Oook" said Teus looking at his master weirdly. Luke however knew something was up.
"Did you see anything?" Asked Luke remembering when Anakin had the visions of their mother and father.
"Just something about father fighting here during the clone wars" said Anakin casually. "It seemed like a dark side moment. He was fighting a dark force user but he used his anger and hate to win."
"It must mean something, the force wouldn't send you this vision for nothing" said Luke. At that moment Anakin realized something. Luke had grown wiser within the force through out the year. Sure Anakin might be stronger in lightsaber skills but Luke had a stronger understanding of the force.
"Master Skywalker, we've arrived" reported Teus. The came to a halt in front of the ancient stone doors. Teus was surprised they were still standing. "Doesn't look like there's a door panel" said Teus.
"No problem" said Anakin as he waved his hand and the doors opened easily.
They entered the ancient structure and noticed it was hardly lit with patches of sunlight shining through. "Teus do you have any glow sticks?" asked Luke. The padawan handed two to the master Jedi and with a snap they began to emit a green glow.
"There's not much here" said Anakin as he observed the walls in search of any wall drawings.
"I'd agree it seems-"Simultaneously the lightsaber of each Jedi flew into their hand. "You felt that I assume?"
"Yea a sudden shift in the force" replied Anakin as he looked around.
"Master, something's over here" called Teus. Anakin moved his lightsaber in the direction to give some light. The light revealed a body, Teus noticeable moved back. Anakin however couldn't believe it, it was the body of the sith in his vision.
"Whoever this is they're dead" said Luke.
"Then why would their still be a dark force signature?" asked Teus.
"The dark side is strong and can leave its stench in an area if it is present for a long enough time" answered Luke.
"This isn't were the force is coming from" said Anakin breaking from his thought.
"What makes you say that?" asked Luke.
"In my vision, this is the person father was fighting, that was over eighteen years ago" said Anakin. "She must have died on impact; she couldn't leave a force signature."
"Then the force signature is still here" said Teus becoming alert and looking around.
"Calm yourself young one, let yourself flow with the force and you will find the evil" instructed Luke sounding like Obi-Wan and Yoda.
They deactivated their lightsabers and began to summon the force. It was as if Anakin was blowing with the force through the temple. Every inch he could see and then he saw it.
Opening his eyes he activated his lightsaber and sprung into action. Right in time he blocked a slash towards Teus. Even with the illumination from the lightsaber, the attackers face was well covered. Luke was now next to Anakin and they were leading an assault. Anakin flipped behind the attack but his slash was blocked as was Luke's stab.
They continued their double team and the masked figure continued to block successfully. Then he took the offensive, he made a leg sweep at Anakin making him jump into the air, then using the force to push him into the distance. Now Luke was fighting alone. Now Luke was put on the defensive, however he was faring terrific. Not able to stand by any longer Teus jumped into battle.
The padawan was doing more bad then good however. Luke continuously had to protect him from suffering a severed limb. Sensing his lack of skill the assailant strongly kicked him in the chest and to the wall. Anakin was back in the action though not giving him a break. Now they were making their way onto the roof of the building. Luke and Anakin stood side by side clashing with the enemy moving backwards. Then Anakin had a flash in his eyes. His father was fighting the sith; at the same location he was fighting this man or woman. Anakin began to fall back as the flashes came to him again.
"Anakin are you alright?" asked Luke turning his head back. But this was enough for the enemy to force push Luke away and jump off the building and make his escape.
"Obviously he didn't want to kill us" said Luke, "Why would he want to engage in battle for no reason."
"Maybe he wanted to study our technique" said Anakin, who had recovered from the flashbacks.
"Did we get him?" asked Teus who came up holding his right arm.
"No, he got away" answered Luke.
"Hopefully Han, and Leia are having better luck" said Anakin.
