Dream
"What now Master?"
"Well we keep watch from afar basically, if need be we can come to Luke through his dreams"
"That works for me, Master Yoda?"
"Agree I do that the best plan that is"
Just then all of them felt the mission from the Force
"Looks like the Force isn't finished with us yet...a danger even worse than Palpatine is out there and Luke and his new Jedi will have to face it but he's currently the only one available due to my actions. It appears that the Force is allowing me full redemption by taking care of the evil worse than Palpatine before Palpatine is taken down"
"This is going to be difficult, especially depending on when we land back in the past"
"But the will of the Force will be followed. Obi-Wan depending on when we arrive please try not to get yourself killed"
"Same goes for you Anakin"
"Okay so two part mission, stop the evil greater than Palpatine first because if we defeat Palpatine first even with all our Jedi we'll still be destroyed and then take care of Palpatine"
"Might take a while this will"
"Agreed Master Yoda, we ourselves may be part of the rebellion depending on the situation"
"Well see you in the past"
"Agreed, see you in the past"
The three of them close their eyes and simply follow the will of the Force. Yoda woke up in the Temple during a Council meeting, Obi-Wan and Anakin woke up during a mission with Master Windu assisting them
End of dream
Anakin and Obi-Wan woke up and went to the commissary because they were currently in different rooms on the ship and started talking in Huttese to keep the conversation private
*Why did we initially forget our secondary mission?*
*Who knows Anakin, but honestly do you think we could have handled that information initially after having just been brought back to the past and now having more Jedi alive then what we're used to?*
*Point, we're going to have to inform Bail about this*
*I know, he might not like the fact that we're putting Palpatine to the side until further notice*
*What I'm wondering is how we're going to deal with the greater evil before Palpatine without his help because I am not joining sides with Sidious on this*
*Agreed, we're going to have to figure something out though, maybe Yoda will have an idea as to how*
*Okay then, for now let's continue our mission*
*Right, we're about to land on planet by the way so maybe we can make our reports today, we're almost late*
*Right and the Council really does need weekly reports this time*
They arrive on planet and soon realize they wouldn't be able to inform the Council personally about the fact that they were still okay. Fortunately the planet they were on had another Jedi team that the two met up with, though both sides didn't reveal their presence to each other except through the Force signature, one of which the two didn't really recognize because the signature was the Master's new apprentice. Obi-Wan and Anakin even managed to stage a confrontation in front of the Master/Padawan team to ensure that the Council would know from the two Jedi that Obi-Wan and Anakin were alive and doing okay from what the Master/Padawan team could see. It wasn't even really staged either, just the location was staged the person they confronted actually needed confronting
"You're no longer allowed on this ship Drasden"
"Why not?"
"I saw you stealing from customers. John here can confirm that with the Captain who isn't pleased with your shoddy work recently"
"Just because you're co-captain because you can pilot something small doesn't mean that you're in charge of the ship and can accuse me without proof "
"We have further proof, now then get your things and leave the ship, we're only here long enough to refuel and stock up on some supplies so scat"
"Fine, but you'll regret this"
"Fine, by the way we've already alerted the authorities so if you try coming back to this planet you'll be arrested"
"Doesn't matter to me...I already got a home and would be arrested anyways...boys..."
Just then several people who were known pirates surrounded Obi-Wan and Anakin, however the local police stopped the fight in time and the young Padawan spoke to her Master about the situation
"Master why can't we go help our fellow Jedi?"
"Looks like they're currently on a mission Jade, if I'm correct that's the Kenobi/Skywalker team. When we leave I will be reporting a sighting of them to the Council, looks like that's the plan anyways because for some reason they can't contact the Council personally this time"
The two Jedi teams lock eyes and Jade sees her Master nod at one of them the one who was obviously Master Kenobi. Then her Master did something strange, then again so did Master Kenobi. Jade's Master went for her lightsaber and brought it up just in time to receive fire from Master Kenobi, Padawan Skywalker looked slightly surprised but more resigned then anything. As soon as the four of them were in private Jade's Master spoke up
"What are you thinking Kenobi? I know for a fact that you know better than to try and pull a stunt like this when on a mission like you are"
"I need you to send a specific message to the Council and this was the only way I could think of. I need you to tell them that my Padawan and I have discovered that this is much bigger than initially suspected, however the government of this area is not involved in the piracy, we just confirmed that at our last port. We think we're onto a slaving pirate ring that has ties to the government in ways that the government of the area itself doesn't suspect"
"How does that make sense?"
"We think the government is being hacked and then the pirates send members onto ships, the members give the pirates information to attack the ships they're on and the pirate attacks are the final result. We also believe that the pirates are trying to slip in through trade agreements and no one realizes that"
"Understood, we'll figure something out to keep your cover, in the meantime keep yourself and your Padawan alive"
"No problem oh and tell Master Yoda...that if he hasn't done so yet to talk to Senator Organa of Alderaan about possibly requesting Jedi assistance for their neighboring planet problem that seems mostly resolved but needs some final tweaks. I read the reports and found some minor issues that neither side is aware of"
"Will do, now then get going we'll smooth out things to make sure you can keep on your current mission"
Fortunately things were smoothed over real easily by both Obi-Wan and the Master very easily. Both used a mild Force suggestion to make the Captain believe that Obi-Wan thought he saw a bounty hunter who had almost killed him last time and after the lightsaber was brought out Obi-Wan explained the situation to the Jedi and promised to be more careful about confirming identities before shooting his weapon and the Jedi said it wasn't a problem and would make sure that she didn't look so much like a bounty hunter in the future. Both groups left and the Master/Padawan team that Obi-Wan and Anakin happened to run into got to Coruscant that day
"You have a report for us?"
"Yes Master Windu"
They gave their mission report and were dismissed however neither left
"More you have to say Jocel?"
"Yes Master Yoda. My Padawan and I saw Knight Kenobi and Padawan Skywalker during our mission, they're alive and doing fine as far as we know, however Knight Kenobi had to fire at me with a blaster to get my attention so that we can give a report to you. Apparently the government of the area is both involved and not involved at the same time. The government seems to have been hacked by the pirate slavers who then send their members in ultimately ending in a pirate attack, unfortunately no one is aware of that and as such they don't realize they're being hacked, and the pirates are also apparently slipping in through trade agreements which hasn't been noticed either. He also says that this is apparently bigger than what the initial mission was supposed to be though how it is I don't know. Master Yoda, Knight Kenobi also had a specific message for you he said and I quote 'talk to Senator Organa of Alderaan about possibly requesting Jedi assistance for their neighboring planet problem that seems mostly resolved but needs some final tweaks I read the reports and found some minor issues that neither side is aware of' end of quote and Master he seemed serious when he told me this"
"Understand I do, read the report again I will to see what problems need tweaking"
"As will we, but we will indeed inform Senator Organa of the situation fortunately he's back on Coruscant so getting in touch with him won't be a problem"
"Talk to him privately in my quarters I will much to discuss there is in regards to the situation between the two planets. Tea I will invite him to have"
An hour later Senator Bail Organa was shown to Yoda's quarters
