Back on the ship into hyperspace, and after Jala had apologised to Ahsoka for earlier and they became friends again, Kylen introduced the padawans to Huyang, the architect of lightsabers.

Before he could explain how to craft a hilt however, Michael worked it out instantly, and although he was just excited to build his saber, he explained completely how to craft one with Huyang saying anything.

"I think you've just done my for me youngling. You're the very first to know how to build one before this lesson."

Michael had somewhat of a dislike for doing this accidentally, making himself look above the other padawans, he tried to make himself as modest as possible. The younglings sat on the floor on the ship, using the force to craft his lightsaber to his preferred grip.

He was right handed, and in terms of holding it reverse hold or front hold, he was ambidextrous in that. He made both ends round and flat, unlike some designs in which the end where the beam came out were diagonal.

He was also the first to complete his, Huyang turned to padawan Dal for answers, but he didn't about Michael himself, just explained that he was told Michael was an intelligent powerful youngling.

Once they were all done, Huyang asked to see them all ignited, which they did, all clearly amazed at the sights. Three blue, three green, one orange.

"Excellent padawans, all of you have made remarkable designs, i'll have to keep note of them. And Michael, nice choice of colour."

They arrived back on Coruscant, and bid farewell to Kylen, thanking him.

When Michael got back to his room, he used special tools as there was one more thing he wanted to do with his lightsaber. He carefully carved three Gallifreyan symbols onto the hilt, which translated to his last name, Res. He kept Time lords in memory this way.

6 more years passed, it was now the year 22 bby, Michael and the padawans had now reached adolescence, and had finished their training with master Harken. Each of them would now be assigned to a master, for individual teaching.

It would probably be awhile until a master for each of them is available. But nevertheless, they all left master Harken and their padawan group, which was bittersweet.

Michael and Ahsoka stayed friends afterwards however, keeping up with their studies together, as they were friends through thick and thin during the past 6 years and often studied together.

In his room, Michael activated the projector device to speak to Kaben and Henga again to give them his usual report.

"Are you sure no one has sensed the device by now?" asked Kaben.

"Don't worry, I'm using my power right now to stop others, even the masters from sensing this" Michael assured.

"Well just make sure you do that for anything else that the Jedi might discover, they aren't supposed to know anything yet" reminded Henga.

Michael sighed. He knew what she was talking about. They aren't supposed to know that war is coming, or that who Sidious actually is. "Won't Sidious be clouding their minds anyway?" he remembered.

"He will, just incase however, when needed you have to contribute to that too. We can't let time collapse in on itself if that timeline strays off" Kaben proclaimed.

"Of course, I know the risks. Just with the galaxy being on the eve of war and everything lots of people are going to die and-"

"That's time for you Michael. What happens in the timeline, we have to stick by it. Hang on, did you say the galaxy's on the eve of war?" Henga asked.

"Yes. There was an assassination attempt on senator Amidala yesterday and last night. She's gone to Naboo with Skywalker while Master Kenobi is on Kamino right now, if I remember it's right about now anyway."

"That means the battle of Geonosis is tomorrow" Kaben realised. "Michael, you need to go there, make sure things play out as they should" Henga ordered. "What?" Michael questioned. "But i'm not meant to be there, not in the timeline." "We can afford that minor change, as long as you do not interfere unless it's to keep it on its original path" explained.

"Michael, when Jedi master Windu rallies up Jedi to help rescue Obi-wan, and i believe, Skywalker and Amidala, you have to convince him to take you along" ordered Henga.

"There's no way he's going to let a padawan go" argued Michael.

"He lets Barriss offee go doesn't he?" Kaben remembered.

"Only because her master Luminara vouches for her" said Michael.

"Well doesn't Shaak Ti go?" replied Kaben.

The Jedi sighed. "Alright, for the Time lord, and time itself sake. I'll fight."

"Very good. But remember Michael, this is it now, this is where the war begins, and you're mission really begins. You have to make sure nothing strays off the timeline in major events" Henga reminded.

"But what if something happens and i'm not there? I can't be everywhere in the galaxy."

"Then you have to go to said place and correct it. Say if a battle is won by the wrong side, you have to go to that planet and subtly alter the events so it goes in the other side's favour" explained Henga.

"Or if someone is supposed to die in battle but they don't for whatever reason, you have to correct it." Henga implied.

"You mean kill them?" he almost shouted that, but luckily he sensed no one was close enough to. "If you want to stop the space time continuum collapsing, then yes." Kaben and Henga disappeared. Michael was not liking this mission as much as he thought he would. The thought of the Time lords and his friends were the only thing keeping him motivated to do it.

"This deal is getting worse all the time" he muttered to himself, exiting his room. 'Guess i'm going to need more training' he figured. He entered a training room and activated several remotes.

Over his years he had learned not only form vi Niman, but had even practiced and became very good at form vii Juyo, which he practiced in secret.

He fueled himself in this by balancing his thoughts about the Time lords dying and the Daleks, and calmed himself by remembering Delta, Vael, and his orphaned Time lord friends, and even Shaak Ti and Ahsoka. He never meditated however. He always hated that despite being a Jedi.

The only time he would ever do it was when Ahsoka asked to meditate with him. The two would just sit together, not talking, but connecting to the force. Michael had to strain himself not to move, since he still hated meditating.

During the course of that night, Michael tried to find his old master, Shaak Ti. When he did, he took a deep breath before asking "Master Ti, i heard what happened to Obi-wan and apparently, they've kidnapped his padawan and the Naboo senator too" He tried to sound surprised.

"I know, apparently the former Jedi Count Dooku turns out to be the head of state for the CIS. He has apparently, along with the geonosians has sentenced them to death. We have to act quickly" she proclaimed heading in the direction of the hanger.

"Perhaps I should go with you, you're going to need my help" suggested Michael.

"This could be too dangerous Michael, I don't know exactly what'll happen once we get there" Shaak explained.

"And you think I won't be able to fight there?" inquired Michael, referencing how powerful he was.

Shaak remembered this, and thought about it for a while. He'd never been on an actual Jedi mission yet, and one the very reasons she argued for him to be trained was to use power that she'd seen him display on situations like this.

"I suppose master Unduli is bringing her padawan. Okay, but be careful Michael, and I expect great things from you. I suppose I owe you anyway, you're the reason i'm on the council" she smiled.

"Thank you master" Michael was pleased that she was letting him come along. Then he remembered, "Should I get some spare lightsabers for Kenobi and Skywalker just in case?"

"Not a bad idea Michael, go ahead, meet me in the hanger in 10 minutes." He went and fetched the sabers and joined the other 200 Jedi gathered on the ship.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Shaak managed to convince master Windu for Michael to come along. The ship eventually took off and went into hyperspace. Michael stood next to Shaak for most of the journey, where she instructed how clear his mind as a Jedi and remember his training. He stood next to some of the other padawans for some of the journey as well, including Barriss.

"First Jedi mission?" she asked him.

"Yes. You too?"

"It is. I'm a little nervous i must admit."

"You'll survive."

"Thanks."

'No trust me, you will' Michael smiled to himself. 'At least, i hope you do.'

The two started up a conversation for while until it was time for the mission briefing by master Windu.

"Okay, so Kenobi, Skywalker and Amidala are being held to be executed in this Geonosian arena." A holo image of it came up.

"We are to land a short distance away undetected and sneak into the arena. Once we are there, I will personally talk with Dooku and demand he set them free, and at the same time you reveal yourselves. Hopefully we'll be able to negotiate about leaving quietly, if he turns on us however, which i suspect he will, be prepared to fight our way out."

Michael received another flashback in his mind about this.

'"So how are you Michael?" asked Delta.

"I never thought that I would be a soldier" Michael explained.

"I've never been in a battle before, I must admit i'm a little frightened" admitted Delta.

"Just remember our training, right?"

"You guys ready then?" asked Vael.

"Yeah."

"I suppose."

"Then, good luck to you all."

He remembered what it was like just before heading into war, before his first few battles. Before he knew it, they were on Geonosis, and Michael followed orders and the briefing as if it was second nature. He was probably more experienced in war than any Jedi here. A few Jedi managed to mind trick the guards into letting them in, and once they were, Mace headed to Dooku's platform, and the other Jedi wearing hoods, spread themselves around the arena. Michael waited until the signal was given.

'"Wait until the signal Vael" reminded Delta. "Okay, 3 2 1, now!" The young Time lords entered the battlefield.'

The signal was given, all the Jedi stepped out of their hiding places and ignited their lightsabers, jumping into the arena. Michael could see Obi-wan Padme and Anakin on top the Reek.

The Jedi were quick to destroy the Droidika's surrounding them. Michael gave the spare lightsabers to two other Jedi who threw them to Obi-wan and Anakin. Padme was given a small blaster. He looked in time to see master Windu jump down, his cloak on fire, landing on the the sand ready for battle.

Michael sensed the gates open and hundreds of battle droids coming this way. 'Here I go again' Michael thought, and he charged with the other Jedi against the oncoming droids. He was used to fighting with a blaster, well the Time lord equivalent to a blaster.

The Time lord used this new Jedi training to his advantage, every blast he blocked and with swift physical movements he attacked and cut down several droids which later turned into over a hundred droids that he had destroyed. He was familiar with this type of environment.

It had been 12 years now since the time war ended and the battle of Arcadia, but years were nothing to a Time lord. He instead in this battle however, had far more power flowing through him. He felt the force flowing through him, and boy did he wish he had this in the time war, maybe things would've changed slightly. This wasn't the typical battle since it was in an arena, but Michael knew his Jedi training would come in handy for this. He fought with grace and swiftly movements.

Some of the Geonosians fired their cannons at groups of Jedi, and he only he had a second to react before it was turned on him and the Jedi near him. As quick as he could, Michael blocked the blast with his hands saving the Jedi near him. He threw the blast back at the Geonosians which surprised the Jedi near him.

"Behind you!" he warned the Jedi next to him about the droids.

He pulled several Geonosians out of the air with the force, and he sensed droidekas rolling up behind him. His current lightsaber combat style wasn't going to be enough. It was time. He did a small meditation for 2 seconds although he hated it, he needed it to keep calm in Juyo.

Before he using form v and vi, but now it was time for form vii. He leapt from droideka to droideka, going inside their shield's destroying them as fast as lightning. Every droid in his radius was destroyed. The orange blade he wielded blended perfectly with the background, which proved hard for the Geonosians and impossible for the droids to recept.

He looked around for the arena to see several dead bodies of Jedi. It was happening again. He recognised several masters, then he saw Shaak Ti.

He saw her stumble and fall however, trying to desperately fend off her droid attackers.

"Master!" Michael called out and sprinted over to her.

She was almost about to be struck down by a super battle droid, but Michael swung his orange blade through it. He took out every droid around them by swinging his saber form vii style. Shaak watched Michael in amazement as she stood up.

"Michael, is that, Juyo?"

"No time for that now master" he reminded before running into battle.

"Thank you anyway" Shaak said and almost didn't sense the Geonosians behind her, luckily she did just in time.

Michael thought to himself 'You didn't save her because of protecting the timelines did you? It was because-, the timeline!' he remembered. He looked over to see Jango being trampled by the reek, and it charged at him again only for him to gun it down.

But Michael noticed something, he only injured the beast, he didn't kill it. It got back up again and headed towards Mace and Jango facing off.

'That's not meant to happen!' Michael exclaimed in his mind. He saw the reek coming in between Jango and Mace before Mace finally got it with his lightsaber. Michael ran towards the scene, not knowing exactly what to do. How was he going to make Mace kill Jango?

Both were on their knees, and Jango got up first, aiming his blaster towards Mace's head.

"Master Windu!" Michael acted on instinct, and Jango turned just in time to see the orange blade swing at him.

Next thing Michael knew, was that he was standing before a headless body and helmet not too far away from him.

Michael was speechless, and Mace stood up. "Thank you padawan Res" he ran into battle.

'I wasn't supposed to kill him' Michael remembered with a worried expression on his face, before looking up at the walls of the arena, knowing who exactly would be watching.

After a while of battle, the acklay was killed, 3po had his head being put back on his body, and the few Jedi and padme were surrounded by droids. Every blast Michael blocked. Another Jedi fell, Michael, Anakin and Barriss were the only padawans left, and suddenly, as Michael expected, the droids stopped.

He let Windu and Dooku have their conversation, and the droids aimed again, making everyone take a defensive stance.

'3, 2, 1,' Michael counted down and his head and smiled when padme shouted "Look!" Several LAAT gunships, with master Yoda in one of them, swooped down and opened fire on the droids, which they returned.

A perimeter was made and Michael boarded a ship with some other Jedi. He scanned the other ships to make sure the other Jedi were safely on the ship, but soon found his ship taking off.

"Now here comes the hard part" he said to Barris who was standing next to him. He looked down in time to see Boba, holding his father's helmet. Michael realised something he'd never felt before.

This was the first time he'd killed people in which they would have loved ones. Jango and the Geonosians. He looked down in guilt, and prepared for a bigger battle.

Michael's first foray into combat, as a Jedi anyway. He will grow more powerful later on, and killing Jango was just one of the many hard decisions he'd have to make later in this war. Please review, i'd like to know what you guys think. Doctor who belongs to BBC and Star wars lucasfilm/disney.
