Chapter 36 - Going Into The Force

Ahsoka had grown concerned with Artis's mental and spiritual health as he just said he spoke to the dead which is impossible. She decided to inform the council of what Artis just said in hopes of finding a way to understand what Artis meant.

The council was a bit confused at the information Ahsoka brought to them. "This is concerning. If what you said is true then Artis must be under attack by the sith if he's claiming to be speaking to the dead." Obi-wan stroked his his in thought.

"Yes something must be going on if Artis is claiming something that can't be possible. Is it possible the sith are behind this?" Shaak Ti thought this was impossible.

Yoda hummed in thought. "In these times of war vulnerable we become. A watchful eye placed on Artis there must be."

Mace Windu looked to the other council members. "Then we shall place two temple guards at Artis's hospital room to keep an eye on him."

Artis had laid in his hospital bed as he was physically healthy but, he knew that he needs to get out of here and do what Qui-gon asked him to do. He couldn't just walk out of the room or could he? He smiled so he contacted Anakin claiming he'd like a talk.

Artis waited as he looked to see the door open and walking through it was Anakin Skywalker the man he wanted to see. "You wanted to talk with me Artis?"

Artis nodded as Anakin sat down next to Artis's bedside. "We're friends right Anakin?"

Anakin raised an eyebrow at the question since it confused him. "Yeah of course we are. Why are you asking?"

Artis sighed. "Good. Because, I need your help. To escape."

That caught Anakin off guard. "Escape? Your not in prison."

Artis huffed. "Really?" He looked over to the temple guards standing at the door. "I'm not am I."

Anakin saw Artis's point. "What are you planning?"

Artis got out of his bed and stretched his legs. "I have to make a journey alone."

"The council wouldn't want you traveling at all and alone even less. Especially now." Anakin watched Artis stretch.

"Yes well. You are an expert at disobeying orders especially from the council. Once I'm back I'll take full responsibility for it." Artis walked to the door. "I need some air."

The guards stopped him until Anakin said something. "It's alright he's with me. I'll keep an eye on him." The guards stepped aside as Artis and Anakin walked through the door. "I hope I don't regret this." Anakin took Artis to the hangar as R-2 rolled up. "R2 I have a mission for you. You need to help Artis get to a ship and get him out of here."

Artis ran beside R2 as he jumped into his fighter once R2 was in his spot Artis fired up the engines once Artis's ship had lifted off the hangar floor he flew off just as Mace Windu and the doctor ran up to Anakin. "What did you do Skywalker?"

Anakin just chuckled. "Hey for once this wasn't my idea."

Artis flew off into space leaving Coruscant behind him as he attached to a hyperspace ring and put the coordinates for the one planet he never thought he'd go back to..Dagobah. Artis launched into hyperspace as he sighed before taking a deep breath. Once he came out of hyperspace he saw the planet of Dagobah and detached from the ring.

He soon flew down to the planet surface finding a place to land and he did so as he climbed out of the fighter. "Stay with the ship R2." Artis walked into the swamp as R2 whined looking around.

Artis looked around as he needed a sign to make sure he wasn't crazy until he saw an unnatural formation of lights flying around and they felt..familiar. "You have done as I have asked..young one."

Artis felt relief. "Master Qui-gon. Are you..here?"

"Yes..I am.."

Artis looked around as the lights fluttered around him. "Then..how come I can't see you?"

"My training was incomplete. I did not fully realize the power to transcend the physical plain. However I can teach others. Now..there is something important for you to see."

The lights fluttered away so Artis decided to follow after them as Artis followed them he felt a familiar darkness one he hasn't felt since..the cave..Artis stopped at the entrance of the cave.

"Only take what you need..do not fear what is inside. You are strong in the force. You must control your emotions."

Artis took a deep breath as he slowly descended into the cave and once he walked deeper into the cave there was nothing but, darkness. Suddenly an arm reached out grabbing Artis as he jumped activating his lightsaber and looked to see..jedi? He didn't recognize some of them but, he recognized others and they were..begging for help? 'Help me..help me..help please..' Artis looked to see himself holding two white lightsabers? His robes had changed and now resembled some mandalorian armor lying underneath his robing. As he looked at his hands he saw the gauntlets, boots, leggings, shoulder padding and, chest plate with his robes overlapping them. He shook his head as he continued deeper into the cave as he pushed the pleading jedi's hands away and to the side.

Artis walked into an opening as it was large void and..empty the fog covered the ground as he looked around. He started to hear voices thousands of jedi voices all crying out and begging for help as he could hear..a lightsaber cutting them all down. Artis shook his head as he looked all around seeing dozens of clones slaughtering jedi knights, padawans and...even younglings. He watched as clones gunned down a group of jedi but, then he saw..himself? He was killing clones as the temple appeared to be ravaged and on fire. The images stopped and it was silent but, he then heard something only it was faint and growing louder. It continued to grow louder as it sounded like..breathing? Artis looked to the source of the breathing and what stood there was a dark clad warrior holding a crimson blade. Artis activated his two blades as he stared the dark clad warrior down. The mysterious warrior had brought their lightsaber down as Artis blocked it. Artis blocked a heavy side slash as he pushed back before swinging the blade in his right hand decapitating the warrior. He watched as the warrior's head rolled before exploding and what he saw..was himself.

The image vanished as he saw something else he saw himself only much much older standing over a clearing watching younglings training as his image turned looking at him. "Let go.."

The images vanished as Artis walked out of the cave as his robes and sabers returned to normal. "Understand where you must go now?"

Artis looked at the lights. "Yes. Thank you master."

"Remember the force will be with you. Always."

Artis returned to his fighter and fired up his engines and took off the ground before leaving Dagobah behind him. He needed to understand this more so he thought he should find a remote planet to meditate so he can sort out how he feels.

Unfortunately he was intercepted by a Republic cruiser. "Oh….no…" Artis sighed. "Figured it would happen sooner or later."

Artis flew his fighter into the cruisers hangar as R2 popped out of his spot as Artis was met by Windu, Anakin and, Obi-wan as Windu crossed his arms. "I hope you have a good explanation for your actions."

Artis sighed. "I have a lot to tell you. I hope you have a good hour."

The three looked at each other as Artis explained his vision and everything that happened on Dagobah. Artis's visions unknown to him or anyone else those visions and encounters had more truth to them than anyone would know.
