Warning: With this Chapter, and forward it reveals the real possible reason in why Anakin's obsession with saving his loved one activates now. In the added truth, there was more to the rivalry between him and Ferus Olin. In why he killed Tru in the purge and more into why he destroyed the raider camp. As he and Darra Thel Thanis have connected, as the story line continues
before they run the Jedi testing Anakin decides to get his family there into the past and explains the truth to them. And the difference of opinion in the old ways and the new ways of the Jedi order. To the twins, Anakin, Kyp and Zekk, as they learn a truth they weren't expecting. But in bringing them to the past the trio have their memories rearranged now."
As the next chapter after this one continues as the movie begins their ploys as the council has their meeting and Anakin and Padme fake their conversation. Though from here, the story follows the rest of the movie, the span from the end of the movie and into his teen years. But this story follows through the rest of the Phantom Menace and into his next mission back to Tatooine after that.
Chapter 25: Generations Meet And Truths Part V
"Best it might be, because the tests are only just starting, but made clear in your training, learned you have, and strong, patient and wise. But key point in the training, what is, Annie?" he asked and Anakin smiled as he answered him then. "Though some of the exercises are a little ridiculous, you must have patience. Take the first one Soara taught me for instance, listening to the wall, that seems stupid to impatient learners."
"But to have true patience, to see inconsistencies, you focus carefully and you learn what your mentor really means, Cubs, watch and learn." he said as he closed his eyes and searched out the flaw in the wall and then ran at the spot, ran up the wall. And did a back flip and landed lightly on his feet then, as he opened his eyes. "Jaina, your turn, come here." he said and she moved to him as he told her what Soara told him then.
"Just relax, focus on my words now." he said and she closed her eyes then as he said it gently. "Nothing is solid, the hardest wall is just a connection of particles, find the space between the particles and the wall will yield. It will push you off, listen to the wall, hear the wind through the gaps." he said softly and she thought it to herself. 'Listen to the wall.' she said and Jacen lookes at him in disbelief at that as he thought it to himself.
'Listen to the wall?' he repeated as he watched her focusing carefully and smiled as she ran up the the wall found the flaw and jumped off of it. And as it bounced back off of her feet propelling her, as she backflipped and landed on her feet then as she opened her eyes. "There you see, you can do it, but impatience is something you must control in training." Soara said smiling and she nodded to her as they looked at Solo then.
As he had his eyes closed as he did the run and got it himself, before other members of their age groups tried it then and they smiled. "There you go, during training, you have must have patience in the lessons, at times the lessons seem ridiculous and impossible. But you continue to believe that and you will fail in training now." Damon said and they nodced in understanding then as Anakin leaned against Soara and she smiled then.
"Soara is the big sister of my best friend kids, truthfully in addition to the council accepting my wishes to be seen as they are, as did the girls, Garen, Reeft and Ry. So as a result I have family in the Jedi and I'm enjoying my training right now." he said and they looked at Obi-wan's age group and at his own and who all had smiles at this. "Well don't over do it, baby brother." Minga told him and he smiled as he answered her.
"Training in the prime of my life, I never enjoyed my training this much and right now, the harder it is, the challenge and the more fun it is. As you really put in an honest hard days work as junior padawans at the moment, from 5 to now. You get basic training, then from 13 to their age, it's one on one, training as a Jedi, it never stops. But then, I don't want it to, I want to learn as much as I can." Anakin said and the adults smiled at that.
"The difference now is now that I have a place to belong, and friends just like me, I can manage, but I don't need a place to belong. Cause to be believe in or a direction in my life, friends that can't accept the friendships I already have. I have all those things, I am a Jedi now, and as such only when you look inside yourself. Go into self reflection, can you see the truth, that truth is that everything you thought you found there."
"You have already, as you see the truth before, you have everything a megalomaniac offers you here to turn you. And against your friends, but that is what Master means when he says to look inside yourself, see the truth in the fact you are not ready. You have everything that you thought you found on said planet, or in my case now. I'm just a child, stuck between being a teenage youngling and a preteen youngling."
"I don't have to hear the words, but the intuition of knowing the council better then they know themselves is growing by the minute now. But to a Jedi, a Jedi has humility, patience, wisdom, compassion and they reflect on who they wish to be repeatedly. Being their first initiate for over age students, the student, they learn much but the one thing. That they must, once starting a life between youngling and padawan, is reflection now."
"I'm scared of the changes that come with growing up, I want to stay a cub a little longer, but that is the first thing when entering ready to begin training. And post youngling to pre padawan stage training, it's self reflection, looking inside yourself. And face the inner demons of what you feel and yet being to afraid to do is a piece. That, to them, means you are not ready, you carry much fear in you, much anger now with it."
"And you don't know what to do with it, that is normal, but they saw that in me at the time, Jacen, as such, that is what they see in you. You're scared to face that truth right now, but until you do, you will never be a Jedi, young man." Anakin said and Mace nodded firmly to his analysis then. "There, that's it Anakin, you just got the meaning of my lecture when you were 12, but look inside now, what do you see, padawan."
"It's time for your reflection?" he said and Anakin sat down and meditated as he watched himself growing up a true Jedi then. Seeing himself with Mace and Obi-wan training him and becoming the young warrior that the altered universe version of Ferus always proclaimed him to be. As he focused on himself as a child to 17 and gave a mental nod and opened up his eyes as he stood up and Thracia said it for both of them gently.
"What's your reflection?" she asked and he explained it. "Why rush training or growing up so quickly, life moves fast and if you don't stop and take a breath. Then you could miss something, something vital to your life, a piece you are missing to make you life peaceful. And worth living for, but do not hurry the knowledge that you seek, for that knowledge takes it's own time now." he said and the duo nodded proudly to that.
"There, that's the piece that your double never understood, you have much to see and much to experience, but do not hurry the knowledge you seek. For that knowledge takes it's own time now, given time now, as you grow into your paws you will gain wisdom. Peace and prosperity, but for right now, you are just a child, enjoy your youngling years while you have the chance to." Mace said and he nodded to the lecture smiling then.
"Yes Master and I will, my first visit back is in six months and visits home every three weeks, I can see my parents and keep in constant contact with them. So both lives combined together as one and my concentration is a lock as I grow up now. So 1) focus on my training and as you teach me everything you all had to learn. I continue with my original side business of being a mechahic and so on." he said and they nodded to him.
"Lucky we were that met you, telepathically, before heard the news on the prophecy, but see we do that though misunderstood, not dangerous you are. But though very young, very wise and learned much in a short time Anakin, Yoda and I. Believe we do that you have earned your right to become a padawan, honest, wise, kind and humble. Very kind and with time and patience be a very powerful Jedi." Yaddle said and Qui-Gon nodded.
"Yes, and that's a switch from their timeline to ours, you never made a mistake you had the chance to fix this now. So starting back at the beginning in lectures now, Master I'll go first here." Qui-Gon said to him and Yoda nodded. "One of thirty lectures you trained me in." Obi-wan said and he nodded to him. "And the other piece to what we had to teach you, we start there, leading into Didi." Adi added and the couple noded to them.
"Add your lecture to Luke to this, once we hit the training session in telekinetic weight lifting." Daniel said and Yoda nodded to him. "Best start from the beginning, go first I will, and you after me Qui-Gon." he said and Qui-Gon nodded to him as he looked at Jacen firmly. "To defeat an enemy you do not have to kill, defeat the rage in your enemy and he is you enemy no more, rage is the true enemy." he said and Qui-Gon took over.
"You merge together with the strength, cover the weakness, together you are stronger, but remember, the fear of looking like a fool is no reason to do something. Or not to do it, for it is a fear born in weakness." he said and Adi went further from there. "Every mission teaches you as you grow into your skin, but when as a team. you're a well oiled machine and working together as one, but when as a team, you work as one."
"And you win every battle, but at odds with each other and it tears a team apart, you have to trust your partner knows what they're doing, but there is no I in team. And to be a team is to dedicate yourself to the greater Jedi goal." she said and Qui-Gon took it back as he gave the next lecture at that, as he remembered this during Kegan then. "Submission is needed at times to survive in the field, but unless you learn teamwork."
"The higher Jedi goal can never be reached." he said as he went to the next one he taught Obi-wan, just a year later after Melida/Daan then. "Adventure is growth, surprise is the gift of awareness of limits, but you have much to see and much to experience. You're still young, so don't hurry the knowledge you seek, that knowledge takes it own time." he said and then went to the latest he taught the duo then gently at that.
"Don't center on your anxieties, keep your concentration on the here and now where it belongs, and yes we must be mindful of the future. But not at the expense of the moment, be mindful of the living force, you one." he said and went further as he said the gentle lesso he gave before the race. "Concentrate on the moment, feel don't think, use your instincts." he said and Thracia took it from there as they exchanged looks then.
As Thracia did her next as she looked at Anakin, remembering then she was going to be giving this one twice as the years went by as she said it. "You push harder you move faster, you are propelled by an inheritance few can understand, but moving faster gives you little time to think. You must temper your passions, but be less concerned, for now, about being free of your pain, youth is a time of uncertainty and unrest."
"Be a child, revel in it, test your limits, irritate and provoke, that is your way, time enough for wisdom, as you grow into it and your boot. And when you worn more holes into your boots." she said and Obi-wan did his at that as he injected a slightly stern tone into it. "You fought well Padawan, but you fought only for yourself, you did not obey her order at once. And your rival, and your brothers, stepped forward to engage the droids."
"He did it with the expectation that you would work together, and instead you fought as though you were alone. But you will never be a great Jedi warrior if you do not practice team work and dedicate yourself to the greater Jedi goal." he said as he read it all out then, before Yoda gave the promary lesson he had to teach Luke firmly. As he looked at Jacen as they had to make it clear that he was beyond arrogant and needed more time.
"Look at me, judge me by my size do you." he asked and Jacen swallowed hard at the remark now hearing it in his voice as he heard the question change. "And well you should not, for my ally is the force and a very powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow, but luminous we are, not this crude matter." he said and Jacen swallowed hard as Mace said it sternly as he and the rest of the council went into a single line as he said it.
"You see now, young Solo, everything your brother was taught, he learned it from a Jedi of the old republic, but in our time, it was individualized training sessions. At time when the training was beyond pure, we had a level of privacy, we segregated ourselves. From the non force sensitives until we could control our powers and we immerse ourselves in our training, gaining maturity and wisdom." he said and Jacen swallowed at that news.
"I think learning in your time would be interesting and it was to bad, I never got the chance to start sooner then this. If I had, I'd be one of Luke's top students, though I'm slightly quiet, I was trained by the best, before Kun tried that with Kyp and me. Gantoris was killed in the fight at the time as a result, Masters Windu, Yoda." Streen said and they nodded as one of Jaina's clan looked at him gentle with a smile as he answered him
"Well at least you can join up sooner so you can at least block everyone else out and you're not who you used to be." Tesar said smiling and he nodded. "Good point, I'm learning in my 40's as a Jedi, I'm not a hermit and our clan grows as we get stronger. As Luke starts healing after his encounter by that point now, but seeing what Kun did to Kyp and Gantoris, I'm not taking chances now." he said and the 10 nodded to that gently.
"This was what I looked forward to growing up young man, a Jedi never stops learning, but my mistake was hanging around Sidious leading into my 23rd birthday. Well in this timeline, I'm learning, or re-learning my training lessons over again. Growing stronger, patient and becoming the true Jedi master I was meant to be. But the first piece to that is honesty, trust and patience now." Anakin said as he looked at his mentor gently then.
"Master, you mind, I've already started enroute now, but that amount of weight, I'm not doing all sixty boxes, just yet. But its a demonstration, before the boys try it, as they see a true Jedi youngling in what you had to teach us growing up?" Anakin added and Yoda nodded as he closed his eyes as he put his hand out then. Drawing on the force he lifted the entire yield 20 feet of the floor and the council smiled in pride at the demonstration.
"Nicely done Anakin, that was really good, Padawan." Obi-wan said, smiling and he gently lowered it to the floor. "Lightsaber training with the real thing is out, but its demonstration of what you had to teach us so far. So thats one, Calenstethics, and of course, if Mara has my original lightsaber, the act of putting it back together after dismantling it mentally." he said and Soara answered him gently at that remark.
"Well, use what I taught you now Annie, exercise one completed, next test, calesthenics." she said and he nodded as he looked at the wall and used what she taught him as he did a back flip off of it. As the council, Ben and his clan group smiled at the way his training was progressing. "There's exercises of all kinds, in truth you never took calisthenics when in training, so you have a lot to learn." he said to his family gently and Jacen swallowed.
"Wait better yet, go to lightsaber training now Anakin, just remote." Qui-Gon said and Mace set the level for him as Anakin grabbed a blindfold and covered his eyes. And as he stretched to sense the remote as Mace threw it in the air as they watched. As Anakin blocked every shot that was aimed at him and Mace nodded. "Alright that's really good Anakin, stay your hand." he said, though just as he did it, it fired and he blocked it.
Before it fired 3 more times and he did it from 3 different angles back handed and Siri tried to keep from laughing at that. "Word of warning, never let your guard down if that thing is still on or it could catch you unprepared with your back turned. Looks like your grandfather was ready for the surprise attack if he did that." Adi said with a chuckle and just as he was turning it off, he swung sideways and then blocked the shot at his back.
"Nice touch in being prepared there Anakin, you show a full in tune setting of being one with the force." Mace said smiling at his star pupil at his fast reflexes in deflecting it's attacking him with his back turned. "And to us fully skilled padawans and Jedi knights and masters those of us who think we're done. We tend to get shot in the back, because we don't realize the blasted thing is still on." Clee said as she started laughing at that.
"Like I said, born to be a Jedi, you are getting so into your training, you'll be ready by the time you're 20, padawan." Qui-Gon said and he nodded as he removed the blindfold. "True, like I said there are tests of all kinds, I want to learn as much as I can, you testing me during this conversation certainly works. As I teach my grandchildren that what they learned by Luke barely scratches the surface." he said and Jacen swallowed hard at that.
"So what's the other kind right now, if you're training us like this?" Jacen asked and Yoda pulled out a bar from a secret compartment of his chair then. "Anakin." he said and Solo smiled as he nodded as he activated his lightsaber and he threw it up. And in six flashes Solo reduced it to 12 cubes as it landed on the floor in pieces. "Nicely done Padawan, went very far in training, you have." Yoda said smiling as he looked at him gently then.
"Whoever trained you, Tionne and Tahiri obviously knew master's ways of training us, because those skills are showing in you, you have come so far now. That you are just like us and we can see an equal in you Anakin." Thracia said smiling proudly at his skills. "Yes an equal, but you, Kam, Tionne and Tahiri are the ones who gained our training. They got the abridged, but you four are much stronger." Kit said and Mace nodded in agreement.
"In truth there are many lessons for us adult Jedi council members to choose from Padawan, as such patience is one of them and the other. It's going to seem slightly ridiculous in why, but it's part of the training now, but this is the way we train. So if you choose to end training now at this stage in your training, you know. You know where that path leads as your uncle did that and he nearly turns." Mace said and Adi finished that.
"This is what your grandfather meant actually there are many exercises when in training, not least of which is patience. With us in our younger bodies, your grandfather is undergoing his own training tests, before he reactivates now. But no longer around Sidious, he gets to really enjoy his training now, but to him now. To him, he's happy, but its a challenge, makes the training more fun." she said and he looked at her in shock.
"Added catch, its agility too." Anakin said and bent his legs and then jumped 15 feet off the floor then. "But agility, telekinesis, lightsaber training, calisthenics, creating and dismantling the lightsaber mentally, there are many lessons to choose from, Jacen. At your age I was getting tired of it, but back in my near ten year old body, its different, This is me when I was child, before Sidious started his little plan for me at the time."
"But knowing what he has planned, I'm staying away from him, and devoting myself to being the Jedi I should be, and you know what. Now that I have, I really enjoy my training, I learn something new everyday." he said and Mace hid a chuckle as he answered him. "Better slow it down, the more you practice and the stronger you get, you're just starting, so patience." he said and he nodded as he left his hand on his back.
"This is the bond we should have had with you, he's not coming anywhere near you, so with Siri leaving in 2 years, you got me helping you out. When in the added acrobatics, litte brother." Soara said and he nodded, as he did one add on and did a real back flip before doing a forward flip. "Uh huh, like I said the more you work out and the faster you grow into it, but this is going a little too far." Mace said and Adi nodded to that gently.
"What's going on here, its like just starting and already he's acting like us right now, but that can't be unless..., is anyone getting advanced knowledge. When in their memories, said things a good 10 to 13 years ahead like you remember the training. And its hitting you even faster then it should be?" Siri asked and they nodded. "Yes its like something just got unlocked by his already acting like us, he's got the skill of a 14 year old student."
"That ceiling is a good 25 feet up and you did 10 feet off of that padawan, the more you train and the stronger you get. But its not showing off right now, somethings happening here into why we sound like our adult selves. And its like you're really your teenage to young adult self, if you were training Ahsoka." Obi-wan told him and he nodded. "Well that makes perfect sense, if she was impatient at the time right now, but in truth."
"By us just accepting our bond, our talking before hand, I see this as the 15 of you are the one's who's trust I don't want to lose now. But its demonstrating that the training Luke was giving out is the abridged version, and I'm showing what true jedi training is like. As we do this, but its demonstrating a few aspects to it, to make it clear, he still has a lot to learn in your eyes, Ben." he said and the group nodded as that did it for Jacen.
"Yes and I once said that you're not me and I'm not Master we got to forge our own path, but its already feeling familiar, like we did it before. Unless..." Obi-wan started to say and it hit him then. "Master you asked Morgan to help us in unlocking the true reason Anakin in why Anakin turned, what caused it and why. And suddenly he's acting like he remembers everything we ever taught him, and sounding like his teenage self now."
"Our memories from their timeline are getting unlocked in ours now, that's why you're speeding up this fast, your memories of your time in training. They're coming back, alright if that's the case, never mind the lightsaber now Annie. You're showing the you I know rather then what hanging around Sidious was doing to you. But telekinesis, agility, calesthenics and several other things, your skills are speeding up right now."
"But agility, acrobatics and telekinesis, you remember, so give that demonstration now." he said and Anakin nodded as he added another 20 tons to the level. And then lifted it off the floor mentally, before doing several rounds of acrobatics. And then jumped 20 feet off the floor, before doing the jump off the wall a third time as he stopped as he relaxed. "When as a Jedi padawan, you learn to speed it up as you grow into it now cubs."
"I maybe nearly 10 years old, but the intuition of how is growing so fast, its like I'm like my clan group so with that, you never learned to increase your skills, so the longer at it. And the more you grow with the force, thats the force has your uncle home, and its because with him here I'm like this, but this is what Master put your uncle through. When he went to him on Dagobah, what I'm doing now." he said and Jacen swallowed hard.
"You also need to compensate for the darkness in yourself, thus the use of Vaapad, Anakin is my going to be my star pupil in that as he grows into it. Balance the good in you and the bad in you and when completely in balance you become more powerful. That is something our doubles refused to do and part of the reason he fail, so in this one. I'm teaching him to master both sides of himself." Mace said and and they nodded to him.
"We forgot our role in this galaxy, we're not soldiers, or local law enforcement, we serve the galaxy, not just the republic as peace keepers. And more importantly we serve the will of the force." Qui-Gon said and Yoda nodded in agreement. "Offering you second chance to join the council, position on the council now that opened our eyes. And to the truth, and made mistakes in their timeline, you have." he said and Qui-Gon nodded.
"I accept that position on the council, and until I return, Obi-wan holds my place as a member of the council though he made council himself him in their timeline." he said and they nodded. "The balance has been out of place so long that the Sith tore it down and restarted it from scratch, so 1,000 years of peace. And it was time to put the force back into balance by 36 years of war finally." Anakin told them and Yoda nodded to the news.
"And we were blinded to the fact that the senate was in the hands of a Sithlord all this time these next 13 years. And just before he killed the republic and it was reborn as the galactic empire." Padme finished and he nodded to that. "As that would mean that Dooku was in on this entire time at the time." Obi-wan said as he grabbed the book and read it out then to the council as he said to firmly at that, feeling his true self growing.
"And as I said, though I knew of the corruption in the senate, I would never have gone along with this sadistic plan to murder an innocent young woman. But I would never ever turn to the darkside or turn on my friends in the Jedi or even turn on the senate. Sidious is in control of the senate, hiding in plain sight." Qui-Gon said and Jaina swallowed. "We just explained this to the rebel leaders themselves at the moment right now."
"But the storm troopers were an army of clones before they drafted normal people, and 2) they were programmed to search and destroy all Jedi. Under the orders of the supreme chancellor who later became known by another title. But that title lived on to become someone you know quite well now." Obi-wan said and she said it then. "Who is Sidious if he targeted Grandpa?" she asked and Anakin said it gently then to that.
"He's the Emperor, the emperor is a Sithlord, called Darth Sidious, after he sensed my powers, he realized as I grew up, my powers would dwarf his and Master Yoda's. To him if he had my powers in his control finally I become the ultimate weapon. Just to destroy the Jedi as the Sith returned to the galaxy and ruled it." he told her and she swallowed hard as Yoda closed his eyes in realization as Garen said it firmly to Anakin then.
"We started losing the respect of everyone in the galaxy, because we never just came forward and say it, as a result we lose three Jedi in ten years and Ahsoka. After being accused of conspiracy and sedition resigns from the orders, as a result. We should have told the senate we were hunting down the Sith that murdered a member of the order." he said and Yoda nodded in agreement to that as he exchanged looks with Anakin then.
"Mistake in not telling the senators that Sith order had returned, our's was in that now, will not make the same mistake twice. Only we and the rebel alliance shall know of the existence of the Sith that targeted you as their father and grandfather. But altering the past to fix your present and future, we will." Yoda told him and Anakin nodded in agreement gently as Solo paled at that as he answered him quickly to the news then.
"The balance of good and evil in you is important, you let one side over rule the other it will destroy you in the end. That's what bringing balance means grandpa?" he asked and they nodded. "No side is stronger then the other, they are completely equal, your choices decide your future. You must choose the right path to take, by following your heart and you will know when you're at peace with yourself." Padme told him and he nodded to her.
"Spoken like true Jedi master and you are correct, no side is stronger then the other, they are completely equal, but your future is defined by the path you walk. The decisions you make, you are not born good or evil, you choose your path, no one else can choose it for you. You must choose the right path to take on your own by following your heart and you will know when you are at peace with yourself now." Mace said and they nodded.
"This is what it means in training, young man, you never grew up in our way, you lost 13 years vital training and you're definitely not ready right now. But 13 years, if you were like us, this is year four as a teenager in one on one training. But you got the abridged training, your brother, like your grandfather got the entirety. And he's far more powerful then you are because of it, Padawan." Obi-wan said crossing his arms sternly at that.
"The way the 15 of you do this is how you train your students, you mean what you just demonstrated grandpa, is what the Jedi training is really like?" Jacen said, backing up slightly as he realized why he was now being treated like a dark Jedi. "Yes it is and with it now, it's a matter of, when at the age you are, in controlling your temper. That was my mistake in your past, I was impatient, I was reckless, I was arrogant at the time."
"But seeing it through new eyes, when around my cousin, and my mentors, all of them, I can change easily. I love my mentors, and it's their approval that matters more to me then graduation, I'm not ready for graduation now. I want to stay their student for a few more years, in your timeline, I was once just like you, thanks to Palpatine. But not anymore, I love your Jedi godfather, he's my brother and father rolled into one."
"I wasn't ready for graduation back then, because I used to be just like you, but now, no I'm not ready to leave his or even your uncle's side, not yet. Its the same for the sextet and Master Jinn, now." he said and Obi-wan finished that remark firmly. "The padawans start from 5 to 12 years old in building up in stamina, endurance, telekinesis, telepathy. Then from 13 to the age I am it's going to one on one after that, Jacen, as to why."
"It takes years to reach a full Jedi, from Padawan to grandmaster, that takes, in a human, a good 55 years of training, but we're not pacifists. Having your grandfather spy on Palpatine was considered treason, but we're at war here. Giving out a white lie to the mercenaries your father dealt with is considered dishonest, but again. For the survival of the order, we're at war, we do what we must." Obi-wan said as he looked at him sternly.
"What's happening to your voices, you sound like you're adults?" he asked and they crossed their arms at that. "57 years in the past young man, we are adults, your grandparents are mentally adults. And as is Obi-wan, and as is every member of their training clans. I'm mentally 55 years old your grandparents 42 to 47 now. But this who we changed into, we decided to act like your parents family members and mentors."
"I'm Obi-wan's wife Jacen, to me, your grandfather is my baby brother, I'm not giving him up without a fight here, to save him, us and the entire Jedi order. We chose treason, and mutiny, said mutiny is by playing with the dejarik board. Until every Jedi is replaced by clones, now shall we commence training lessons here. Or do you continue to want to delay in one on one training, Padawan?" Siri asked him sternly and he nodded quickly.
"Uh oh, well I'm going to remember that tone once you guys return from the force as you're looking closer to my grandparents age then 83 and 81, Aunt Siri. Is that what you're going to be calling us in the future as our class and several others are in training. We're entering senior apprentice stage at that level, but our training starts from 13 and continues until we're 28 now?" Jaina asked and the first, secondary and third nodded.
"Yes we are, but we have a mixture of non force sensitives at the academy, your grandfather, with your great grandparents gone by then, turned to us now. So his adopted family now are us and as Jedi we're bonded by the force at the time moment. But we raised him, though he gets to see his family at his current age and the first visit back is in six months." she said and Jaina nodded as Adi finished that lesson gently then.
"So the weight of the rings that element is used for weighs up to 64,000lbs, so it's just a 1/4 of that amount for you and this is the weight of your uncle's X-Wing. And the solar panel itself, but you had help when you lifted the panel down at the time. But this time you're not in full assembly classes, but one on one training with us. And believe me the training is far harder now then it was at the academy." She said as she crossed her arms.
"I guess when in training at the academy and you toughening up the lessons, us junior Jedi are just going to enjoy it more now. Because before we got the abridged training and now we're being trained by our parents mentors. And as a result as a Jedi we never stop learning, but you end the training too soon. And take the quick and easy path as Vader did and we fail in our training?" Zekk asked and they all nodded to him gently to that.
"We're having the academy at where your uncle has it twins, Anakin, but this means that everyone in this room that is a Jedi master or training to become one. We're the ones who are in charge there, but the Skywalker clan, your grandfather, your uncle. And possibly your youngest uncle is in charge there, so your uncle leaves. And he's not going to have much to worry about, because he has your grandparents and us there now."
"So Kyp's training clan is also involved and like when they were in a council meeting before Anakin's mentor was killed by the peace brigade. We're also having Daniel friends, SG's 1, 2 and 3 up at the academy, training you as you switch from remotes. And right to live ammo now and this time it's no longer fun and games in lightsaber training Cubs, it's serious now." Kit said and Mace finished that as he looked at Jacen sternly then.
"So if you're so sure of your knowledge and experience in the force as a Jedi, a Jedi knight or even a Jedi master, Jacen. Then I think it's time to test your skills, and I assume Luke was teaching you how to do weight estimates leading into the solar panel. That you found, regarding Qorl, we can see you manage this." Mace said and Tionne said it then gently. "That a bit much Master Windu?" Tionne asked and he shook his head.
"No it's time he understands the true meaning of who and where now in this. That you, Tahiri and Anakin get your training from, we spend 20 years learning to lift things by size and weight like this. If he's a true master of Jedi training, it's time to rid him of his pride before it kills someone next after it cost her, her arm." he said and Daniel moved to the council then as he looked at his future student, who was looking back at him terrified.
"Looks like the force interepreted Luke and Leia's request and decided to bring him back to when the training was the most pure as Han made it clear. Nothing is black and white, it's shades of grey in all areas, but Han got his request granted. That you test him in training as I be the one to train him myself, in the cause your parents took up now. And as you test him in the acts of being a true Jedi." he said and Mace nodded to him softly.
"That's what happened here, the force granted our parents and Uncle Luke's request, in you making it clear that you approve of their way to help the survival of the Jedi. While mom and Uncle get their request granted, as Jacen is taught he doesn't know everything. As you train him yourselves and doing this in individualized training programs for us?" Jaina said in delighted relief and they nodded as Jacen swallowed hard at that news.
'Oh force what have I gotten myself into here, Uncle Luke, why send me back to your mentor and his friends, what is this.' They saw him thinking and hid a nod. "Whether your uncle knows it or not his wish got interpreted in the force. But your uncle was one of our prize pupils as he grew up now, he grew up, matured and became like us. As we show you not everything is all black and white Jacen." Obi-wan said and Daniel finished.
"Alright young man pretend you're on Dagobah and under Jedi training with my mentor, as I understand you lifted a solar panel out of the tree and that was 1/4 of this weight. So do it again and this time you're doing it alone now." Daniel said and Jacen nodded shaking as he held his arm out and channeled his telekinesis into it. But suddenly the weight started becoming too much and he dropped it then as he collapsed on the floor.
"I..., I can't, it's too much, it's too big." he said, gasping to him. "Size has no meaning, judge me by my size, do you?" Yoda asked and Jacen shook his head then and he nodded. "As well you shouldn't, fore my ally is the force and a very powerful ally it is, life creates it, makes it grow, its energy surrounds us. And binds us together, luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." he said and Jacen sighed sadly at that lecture.
"Anakin, Jaina, you do it now, but take it slow and easy, just build your way up until you can lift up the entire yield." Anakin said and they both nodded, as, closing his eyes, Solo raised his hand and one by one each brick was lifted up. And until the entire pile laid suspended in mid air for fifteen minutes, before putting it down. "Very good Anakin, Jaina, your turn it is." Yoda said and she nodded as she closed her eyes then.
Gathering her strength she lifted each block up until she got all of them, before the added side effect kicked in when the council chairs also lifted off the floor. "Uh oh, alright baby, that's really good, but you can put us down please." Adi said said holding it in and she lowered them and the pile to the floor at that. "I can't believe it." Jacen said in shock to that and Yoda nodded as he answered him in stern resignation at that.
"That is why you fail, seeing is not believing, believing is seeing, not have to see the force to know that there it is, just know it is, we do. But clear it is you are not ready, have much to learn still of the force are, so no, not ready for graduation to trials. Nor were you ready for that lightsaber, but much to learn you still have right now." he said and Jaina said it sharply then as she looked at them as she looked between them.
Before she could say it, Daniel crossed his arms, as he said it to him. "Do you truly understand why we have to bend the code, that attitude problem of your's. In regarding your father, is something the council had to make a choice on themselves. For the survival of the Jedi order by a case of mutiny, sure it's against the rules. But then there are no rules when it comes to survival and your counterparts want you back."
"They miss their friends in the Jedi order, they want you back and to them if it means mutiny, treason. Then they're willing to risk death just to go against the Sithlord that took control of the republic. Say, the rebel leaders themselves, the sextet here are members you knew at your current ages, Mon Mothma, Generals Dodonna. Reeikan, Madine, Admiral Ackbar, Senator Organa, do those names ring a bell right now."
"Do their faces remind of you of your battles against the empire and the Diversity Alliance." he said pointing at Padme and the loyalist committee and he swallowed hard as Ackbar and Dodonna crossed their arms. "He's very correct for the sake of a war we have to break certain codes, your father was serving us. And for the better part of 25 years, he understands this better then you do." Bail said and Jacen swallowed hard at that.
"But at the moment, and in truth at times we got to come up with ways that got to test the balance point. Make it clear that we must insist right now, to you this may seem as though it's not right and against the code. But to us it's necessary for survival, in a fight for survival there are no rules, so we have to bend the code of morality to survive." Mace said sternly and he swallowed at that remark as he answered him then.
"Was that just to humiliate me or was it give the duo some recognition?" he asked and he said it firmly. "It's neither youngling, it's to show that not all things are black and white, in a war of survival there are no rules. At times we got to bend the rules in morality for the sake of the greater good." Mon said for him and he lashed out at that. "Why are all of you getting on my case about this right now, I don't want to be a pirate."
"So you try emotional blackmail?!" he snapped and Daniel crossed his arms at that. "Is that what you call this, young man, your parents may not have been around. And all that much, and if this if your way of paying your parents back. But if your only interpretation to 'your father needs you' is she is trying to manipulate you. Well then they been far worse parents then even they thought, but if that is all you see then by all means."
"Just leave right now, because Leia wouldn't want you on those terms, let me point this out now, but for years on my planet, I watched your mother. Her personality, her thinking strategies, I know her entire personality in and out, I know your parents. So well, it's clear to me they're getting ready to disown you for this attitude of yours. And especially if you don't rein it in now at the moment, but you remember Anja at the time."
"Your father finally has had it with this behavior now, to him, it's either shape up or ship out, just get off of his ship until you stop acting like a spoiled brat. Throwing a temper tantrum and start acting your age again right now, but a Jedi. A Jedi does not throw temper tantrums, when they don't get their way, so tell me now. Do you sound like a Jedi, or do you sound like the son of the former chief of state right now."
"You lost your power, you got to live like a Jedi, now stop whining and get to work, you are no longer the son of the former chief of state now young man. You are now a civil servant, but if acting as a Jedi is to hard to live by then by all means just get off the ship. As they wouldn't want you around when you are acting like a spoiled brat." he said and the boy flinched at that as Jaina opened up the book focused on that mission.
"Listen to me, a Jedi is destined to not have a real home, or family, well with the fact your mother's 14 years as chief of state are done. You have to live like a Jedi, being sent from planet to planet on missions, learning to live by use of your powers and lightsaber. But if that is too hard for you, that you want to be back in your original powers, then you are not going to make it as you are beyond weak." Anakin said to him sharply at that.
"You know your uncle and I grew up in a harsh environment all our lives now, we are paupers, we didn't grow up spoiled, we had to work for a living. Your father same thing, but your mother and grandmother matters are they learn to take care of themselves. They never had servants doing everything for them, if we had the chance to raise your mother and uncle, we would have them raised as who they are, and sure now."
"Sure we live in a palace, but I am a Jedi first, your grandmother a senator, we do our chores for ourselves, we're not spoiled." he said with a stern growl at him then. "Well I don't have to hear mom saying this if you're doing it for her, because you just quoted it. And Uncle Daniel, grandpa, but that's the very subtext in dad's eyes and as for mom. She's reached her limit, that's her wording in her voice, and she's reached her limit."
"Word for word and she's serious about that little temper tantrum." she said and Jacen paled as he grabbed the book and read the same words in his mother's voice. "As I said, for years I watched your parents, I know how she feels, but you are not minor royalty. Not anymore, to them, they see you acting as a spoiled brat throwing a temper tantrum." Daniel told him and he swallowed hard at the reprimand as he read the words then.
"No mom, why, I'm sorry." he said as the tears started pouring down his face at that. "Isn't it obvious young man, they are both sick of this attitude you're giving them after Anja, and you crossed the line once too far. But you continue down this path that could destroy you, that's why Master Yoda chose me, before you cross the point of no return." he said and Jacen swallowed hard at that as Jaina took charge then firmly.
"Listen to me young man, where I come from, in the storyline, your storyline, as the New Jedi Order hit the midway point, you were captured by a dark Jedi. But prior to that, your sister came close to turning to the darkside, you know why?" he asked and Jacen shook his head. "Anakin what was your intention if Ulaha attacked the captain of the ship you were going to destroy that carried all the voxyns?" he asked and Solo crossed his arms.
"I wanted her to tell the captain the truth where the base is, I did not say to attack, but to doubt my intentions is to doubt the very person I am. If you thought that was going to the darkside then you don't know me at all at who I am and who I became, Jacen. But really, Jacen are you really the only one in this room that understands the nature of the darkside?" he asked and Jacen shook his head quickly as he answered him then.
"No we all had encounters with the darkside and Zekk even turned." he said and they nodded. "That's exactly our point young man, you are not the only one that understands the nature of the darkside, but of you Zekk is the one that was suffering from it. And it nearly kills him in the process, like it nearly killed your uncle and me. What you are showing is arrogance, not humility." Kyp and Streen said together sharply at that.
"They're right Jacen, you are not showing humility, but pride, but quite honestly that pride now. Your pride has turned to arrogance, we all see this, why can't you, it must be nice being all sure of yourself, but you know what, that self assurance. That is a very dangerous thing, as self assurance and pride, there is a very thin line between them. Cross that line and it turns to arrogance." Jaina said and Daniel finished that sternly.
