We are so close to the end D:
There will be split universes in this chapter. So as to avoid confusion, the original 'un-altered' timeline shall be called OT (Original Timeline), and the new, changed timeline shall be called AT (Alternate Timeline).
AT
Everything was going wonderfully for the next few weeks.
It turned out the entire Temple was beginning to learn how to accept attachments. He walked past a couple Master-Padawan duos, and the Master was trying to explain 'attachments' to their Padawan. And Master Yoda was beginning to draft the new Jedi Code with the help of Master Jocasta Nu.
For Master Billaba, she was extremely pleased that her former Master was beginning to accept the new Jedi Code.
Master Secura was quite pleased with the new rule, because she could now visit her former Master (Quinlan Vos) without being afraid of breaking the attachment rule and bla bla bla.
Master Plo Koon returned from his mission, and was delighted to see his little Soka again.
Master Rig Nema worked hard with AZ-3, and removed all the chips from the clones' heads.
Master Ki-Adi Mundi was just relieved to be off that frigid planet and back to the warm Coruscant.
Generally, everyone's mood was better now that the war was finally over, and they had to get used to working in peace with each other.
As for Anakin... He couldn't be happier. He had just returned from a mission with the 501st (Ahsoka had agreed to help, but not as a Jedi Commander) to arrest the rest of the Separatist Council, and was spending his day-offs with his new-found family. Speaking of his family, Padme was nominated in the new Chancellor election.
And Caleb, well, he still had his final examinations going on, so he had to revise. His Master bribed him to work harder with packets of cookies everyday, and needless to say, it worked. And he had help. His friends rose to the challenge, and aided Caleb in his studies. Obi-wan gave him tips to ace his Language exam. Padme kindly gave him lessons on politics. Ahsoka and Anakin worked together to help him with his mechanics exam.
The night before the last examination (the much feared Language examination), he had a visitor.
He was just reading through the extra notes Obi-wan gave him, when a flare of red light appeared just behind him, and the ghostly apparition of the Son stepped out of it.
' Hey, Son!' Caleb said excitedly. ' Long time no see! I hope that your father and sister are well.'
The Son scowled, ' Apparently my sister asked me to come and visit you.'
' Nice,' He beamed. ' Have you come to offer me a pet rancor?'
' No. In fact, she has asked me to tell you that your plan worked perfectly. Now your timeline and the other timeline are able to exist separately,' He said in a bored tone. ' And she is currently at the future timeline, talking to the son of the Chosen One.'
' Sooooooo,' Caleb said. ' Both timelines can exist together? No the-world-is-going-to-die or endless chaos?'
' I hate to admit it, but yes,' The Son sighed dejectedly. ' I love chaos though. Bye then. I hope we won't see each other again in the future.'
Caleb muttered under his breath as the Son vanished, ' Oh, how rude.'
Oh well, he had other things to worry about. He decided to speak to Anakin about the Son's visit, maybe after his Language exam.
He stretched his legs and began to write.
OT
Anakin and Caleb had been gone for such a long time. Luke was rather worried, as he didn't receive any news (Ghost-Anakin and Obi-wan weren't helping at all). He didn't know if he would actually receive something from the Force (they existed in a different timeline after all), but he still meditated a lot about it with Ahsoka and Kanan. Sometimes, Kanan reckoned he saw flashes like lightning in the Force.
' Don't worry, Luke,' Leia had told him. ' They will be alright. Anakin is strong.' Luke agreed with her, but he couldn't help but feel slightly afraid of what was happening in the past. What if Sidious managed to see through their tricks and ordered the clones to hunt them? What if Anakin joined the Dark Side in the end?
Then, Luke departed for a 'crystal-searching' mission with some of the more advanced younglings, and he forced himself to focus on the task ahead and forget about Anakin.
The others worked hard on Yavin, as the new Jedi Order was growing. More and more initiates arrived every week. Kanan and Ahsoka were already discussing of taking a Padawan. On the other hand, Ventress started teaching. She was a good, but strict teacher (as in Mace Windu level strict), however, the kids adored her.
Luke had just returned from his long trip to Yavin. Kanan allowed the younglings to run around happily with their newfound crystals (to all of the younglings' disappointment, they didn't find any white crystals), and Ventress would then instruct them on how to build their lightsaber.
Luke sat meditatively on a tree stump, and watched the kids yell and hop around.
An amused voice echoed around him, ' They surely are energetic children.'
Luke looked around for the source of the voice, and spotted the familiar green-haired lady standing next to him. She looked so real, but her flickering golden robes that billowed out said otherwise. Luke jumped in fright, ' M-my Lady! I didn't know you could travel around.'
She smiled thinly, ' Luke Skywalker, my powers can allow me to travel to the past, present or future. I am here to tell you that your Father and that little Padawan boy have succeeded. Their plan worked, the Sith is gone forever, and the past timeline is safe right now.'
Luke breathed out, ' That's... Wonderful!' Then he pleaded the Daughter to tell him more about what happened.
' The Jedi are now campaigning to change that no-attachment rule of theirs,' She wrinkled her nose. ' I have always thought it was a peculiar rule.'
Luke blinked, ' Why though?'
She shrugged, ' I am the embodiment of the Light side. I know what makes someone abandon the Light and go to the Dark Side. It's just attachments don't directly bring people to the Dark Side.'
' Oh.'
' So I'm rather glad they are going to discard that rule. Anyways, your mom is pregnant, Separatists are arrested, and oh, your Father may have succeeded in asking Ahsoka back to the Order,' She said. ' Most important of all, this current timeline and that altered past timeline will be able to exist together, but separately. Isn't that great?'
Luke said, relieved, ' Yes, it is. But... Will we be able to see Anakin and Caleb again?'
' It's possible,' She tiled her head slightly. ' But I don't expect that to happen anytime. Now, if you don't have anymore questions, I had better find my brother, in case he decides he would like to wreck havoc in the timelines. The last thing I need would be a confused Darth Sidious floating near the Battle of Starkiller Base-' She clapped a hand over her mouth in terror at what she had just revealed.
' Starkiller Base?' Luke said, alarmed. ' What is that?'
' I have said too much,' The Daughter said, beginning to shimmer and disappear. ' Anyways, goodbye, Luke Skywalker. I don't think we will be seeing each other anytime soon.'
' Wait, but-' Luke tried to stop the Daughter from disappearing, but her tall figure simply rippled and vanished.
Just a couple seconds after the Daughter was gone, Ahsoka and Ezra ran out of the building, and skidded to a halt in front of Luke.
' We sensed a great disturbance in the Force,' Ahsoka panted. ' What was that?'
' Oh, nothing,' Luke said. ' It's just the Daughter.'
' The Daughter, again?' Ezra's eyes widened. ' What could that be?'
' It looks like our friends have succeeded,' Luke smiled at them. ' Tell the others.'
Epilogue coming up in next chapter :D
This time's 'Me and Star Wars', I won't be doing a dialogue based 'Me and Star Wars'. Instead, I'll be doing a Star Wars themed '15 facts about me'! XD These are all of my opinions, and if you don't agree with these stuff, it's okay. :D
1. My favourite Star Wars character (in the entire saga) is probably Anakin, followed by Luke. For the animated series, my favourite character is Ahsoka, to be followed by Anakin and Ezra.
2. My favourite droid in the entire series is R2-D2.
3. I often wish to have a real life R2-D2. A real life BB-8 sounds great as well.
4. My main OTP in Star Wars is Anidala.
5. My favourite lightsaber out of the entire series is Anakin's lightsaber.
6. This sounds strange, but whenever I encounter a challenging problem in my maths examinations, the Imperial March automatically plays in my head. And it gets louder and louder when I get frustrated.
7. My favourite duo in the series is Anakin and Ahsoka, to be followed by R2 and 3PO.
8. My favourite episode in Clone Wars is The Jedi Who Knew Too Much, while my favourite episode in Star Wars Rebels is Twilight of the Apprentice.
9. I find Jar Jar Binks hilarious.
10. I know many of you out there ship Luxsoka, Cadsoka, Anisoka and a lot more. Well, I respect all of these ships, and hey, anyone can ship whatever they like, but to be honest (in case some of you are wondering, since I never actually addressed it), I don't exactly ship Ahsoka with anyone, because I feel like she's awesome even on her own. However, if I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY have to pick one, I'll have to say I'll go with Rexsoka.
11. I cried in the Revenge of the Sith movie. Like at the end.
12. Star Wars music is wonderful! For the live action movies, I like the main theme and Binary sunset the most. For Clone Wars, I like Ahsoka's Theme the most and for SWR, I like It's Over Now (the soundtrack that played at the very end of Twilight of the Apprentice) the most.
13. I like to believe that Vader still carried Ahsoka's Padawan beads. No one can convince me otherwise.
14. I seriously hope that Cody would somehow show up in SWR Season 3.
15. My favourite lightsaber colour is blue.
