The Chosen Ones Ones And The Path To Truth
Disclaimers: Star-Wars or Stargate SG-1 are not owned by me. The story belongs to me everything else belongs to the George Lucas and MGM studios.
Warnings: If anyone noticed a pattern to the titles, it's that this is matter of his having to explain certain things to the youngest generation. As he uses the titles from the stories as he names off each one in addition to the titles given to his own circumstances as they work out what needs to be changed. And where as this continues, but this next chapter has the young knight stories in reverse.
As this latest chapter reflects that, to him, that Ferus was acting like the night brother that got cleaved in half by Zekk in their present. As he ends up playing the part of Zekk and Ferus is the dead candidate for the title Darkest Knight. But it's two pieces as half is the young Jedi knights and the other half is Obi-wan's rival and the rival's side kick in thr Jedi apprentice novels.
With this chapter now it continues with his explanation of Darra's death to the third generation as they prepare to change the past. As Anakin reads the truth to his past when he created his lightsaber then. Seeing their father in a new light, Luke and Leia now see who was truly to blame. regarding the destruction of their family, as they learn who it was that caused Anakin to crash now.
Sorry for the rewrite everyone, I lost this chapter when I was expanding the story, so I'm working at rewriting the chapter. Just before I put it back up and continue making the story bigger, before the Skywalker twins. Han and their friends and family return to their present and the story keeps going now.
Chapter 45: Jedi Quests And Young Jedi Knights V: Darkest Knights I
"Here look." Anakin said and turned his lightsaber on and they saw the bluish violet tinge to the blade, before he grabbed the duo's and they saw it. "I saw this the second I got trapped in the shield trap, the cold blooded smirks on their faces. They turned, I never did, I was a Master guardian doing my job, they let the lust. Said lust to graduate early, catch the duo tempt them, they turned on us." he said and the Duo and Siri nodded.
"Yes I remember that time frame perfectly now, you remember the who and the what now finally Anakin?" Mace said gently resting his hand on Anakin's arm and he nodded. "Oh I remember alright, I remember hearing the conversation, I remember. In realizing what they meant when he said I was with Ben. I remember the added realization to what he really meant and I remember contacting you." he said and the duo paled at that news.
"I did as you said, but they still made the implication, before he terminated his friendship with me at the time, but if he hadn't, then I would have. As he ripped my heart out at the time, but the one girl that mattered most was the seed planted. That triggered a chain reaction of losses in my eyes and tore apart 3 years of practice and progress. And under you and Adi at the time, before she was killed." he said and Mace nodded sternly to him.
"Why Master Windu?" Luke asked and Mace explained that to him. "After your father risked his and Obi-wan's life in the darker areas of the planet. We decided on pre-emptive strike to head off the next situation that could put them both at risk. By sending them on a mission to Zonoma Sekot, our primary lesson is still just a child right now. What's the rush in growing up and what the point of rushing your entire life as a padawan."
"In training, is added traumas really worth it so why would you want to learn faster, gain wisdom or grow up so quickly, just enjoy your childhood while you got the chance to. The added catch was that with the fact we knew Sidious was running loose out there. Is we try to send your father home, he could kidnap him and turn him. We weren't taking that chance as we decided to go to a training exercise now in this on Sekot now. "
"After the blood carver he mentioned, he got the point, but that was Thracia's last year as she retired right after this happened, but I promised. That I was going to keep her updated on his progress, with my being his mentor now. And in the ways of being a Master guardian, he's got me in both ways now finally, a father figure, a teacher. And an emotional counselor, Obi-wan is his big brother." he said and the twins nodded gently.
"As a result this was a matter of her concern and mine right now, because for 18 months since Master was killed he was doing fine. As we were discussing things as he studied several things not least of which was Lightsaber lore. And we knew this was coming standard in training, your father was our prize pupil as a mechanic. Though he destroyed ten lightsabers, he still knew enough right now to know what is wrong with it."
"And young lady, care to tell us what you were thinking by not making sure that your crystal was completely flawless?' Mace asked and she swallowed at the news as she tried to answer him then. "I thought that the weapon was insignificant next to the power of the warrior, and it was the same for the force." she said and Anakin nodded. "Well all of you listen up, but if the crystal has cracks or shows a severe instability."
"Either of these and they can cause the power cell or the flux aperture to blow, then the lightsaber will short out on you. This decision could have killed someone, and as I know you found that out the hard way. What if it went before you realized this and he still cut your wrist off, consider that, what if you were fighting my baby. But this attitude could be considered going to the darkside, and you did her or Luke, you consider this."
"You are half Dathomir, correct?" he asked and she nodded as Tenenial Djo got what he was saying. "We are known for our pride daughter, as such at times that pride turns to arrogance and if you do not control it, it will destroy you. But our darkside counterparts as witches are the Nightsisters, they and their counterparts. They let the sins control them, Kun was vanquished, but you were near a cave possessing dark energy now."
"That dark energy was influencing you not to take the proper precautions when creating your lightsaber, till Jacen humbled you by cutting your wrist and arm off at the elbow." she said and Mace nodded to confirm that thought and she paled in shock at the news. "Thank you my dear, as such now, did it ever occur to young lady that my son did that on purpose, he lead you to that cave in the way Master lead him to the one on Dagobah."
"That maybe the darkside possessed you not to check this, that Kun possessed you and instead of you killing your friends. That Jacen took your arm to prevent you from accidentally killing them, that day, he warned you, he may have sounded cocky. But your pride was dangerous enough it cost you your arm, and nearly the lives of your friends. And by the bartokk swarm, see what happened?" he said and she paled at that news.
"Your mother suffered a brief spout herself when she met my babies at the time, but this is what the darkside does, you get too over confident. And that could get you or your friends killed, by flaws in the design, your heritege, like your pride has to be sacrificed. Again before it could cause more traumas now, young lady." He said and she looked at him shaking as Tenenial Djo nodded in agreement to his thoughts at that.
"I..., I never considered that Master, but I'm sorry." she said and he crossed his arms gently. "Sorry will not give you back your arm, or the trauma all of you suffered young lady, until you learn past your pride you will never be a Jedi if you let your demeanor from Dathomir cloud your judgment." he said and she swallowed hard at that news now. "Indeed Tenel Ka, he is very correct, I learn past my pride and I am a jedi master now."
"But this pride and arrogance resulted in costing you your arm now, an arm that could have been there. And to catch Jacen when that Ugnaught lead you into that ambush, that is a matter you have to learn and if this conversation is heading where I think it is. Then that is the reason right now, a certain someone never checked the crystal. When they tried to fix it, and it shorted out just as their opponent got ready to shoot the wielder."
"And Master's best friend was shot and killed." Kirana Ti said and Mace nodded as he looked directly at Anakin. "Yes that is exactly what we're talking about right now, and that destroyed the amount of progress your father made kids. But let me tell you here the fact that where lightsaber lore is concerned then you have to double check. But I remember that day now, five Jedi in ten years." he said, his tone turning stern then.
"Wait five?" Ferus repeated and he nodded. "Number six was named a member of the lost 20, but Master Qui-Gon was killed, Vergere went Rogue. Master Thracia retired, Master Yaddle was killed and 19 months later Darra is killed. So in total, five Jedi, one is killed because of you and Tru and that lightsaber that needed further work done on it." Anakin said and they swallowed hard at that as Mace gave a gentle nod to his remark.
"Oh not good, I know that tone right now, but the last time I heard this tone was when he caught them in the act that day." Obi-wan said and Mace nodded. "Right before he radioed us and told you what this was and what the heck was going on after he took that hit to the head?" Adi said and he nodded sternly. "Yes that's just what I mean Adi, the who and why just got unlocked here." he said and the duo, Damon and Tiana nodded.
"When's the last time you seen him like this?" Lando asked and Mace said it sternly as he exchanged looks with Obi-wan. "After Zam tried to kill their mother and before we realized Jango's the said bounty hunter. Jango is Jango Fett, your Fett's father, he was a clone that he created for himself as a son." he said and they nodded in shock. "That's the one time I ever heard his tone that sharp to an opponent, but not an opponent now."
"His memory just landed on the week we had a run in with Sidious finally now, after he threw him into the wall in the cave on Korriban. But I know why he told me this, it's because nothing changed and nothing ever would in his eyes. I was his mentor, but this was a matter in the honesty test and your father never lied. Not to me or to the council ever." Obi-wan said and Mace nodded in agreement to his opinion as he said it then.
"When you were just beginning to adjust and heal emotionally from master's death, yes I remember that time frame perfectly. You were just getting over her loss, always with Adi and me in understanding why you were so afraid your sensitivity. And you made it clear you hate your sensitivity to the force and your powers as a result. But honestly, you didn't want to be the chosen one at the time, padawan, I understand your feelings."
"What's the memory connecting to if you're starting to remember now, because, and everyone. I want you all to be on your guard if he chooses now to make his appearance, the last time I saw that wild look in his eyes. And I remember the calm demeanor he had, just before he took me by surprise here." Mace said sternly and the other Jedi in the room, the rebels and Padme nodded, all knowing the 'he' that he meant.
"Mon, like I said, pushed passed the limit of our anger, our eyes turned reddish gold, but at my age, be ready if he chooses now to make his appearance. Said appearance without the helmet or the respirator, this was him fully human. And only Ben knows what I looked like at that age after he let the power lust go right to his head at the time. Fortunately I got everyone I loved back finally now I'm back to full strength again finally."
"But here it is and you want the answers and reasons I changed and turned into your biggest enemy, before changing back now, Mon, Bail. Jan, Ackbar, Crix, Carl you too, I'm serious everything I told you is just that, what happened. And how it happened is everything I just told to the kids, but he's going to try to hijack me. So be ready for it, with me a junior padawan now." Anakin said and the rebels nodded gently as she said it.
"What's going on if you're saying that Anakin, because if this is the reason you were stuck like that and for 23 years and the rest of us got burned by it. I want the reason now as the delegation of the 2,000, because before Borsk took over and Leia did, I was the chief of state and these two, whoever it is. Are getting tried and convicted for the entire 23 to 40 years of hell we gone through." Mon said, crossing her arms at that.
"Oh boy, here it comes, as the last time I saw you like this was after you got ticked I decided not to rest just after getting electrocuted by the force lightning." Luke said and she gave a bemused smile. "Your father, even after repeated bumps and bruises never knew when to quit or learned from a near fatal injury. Like you young man, Minga and I let him have it more than once." she said and Leia tried to keep from laughing then.
"Are you guys ever going to let me live that down?" Anakin said and Mace tried to keep from smiling as he answered that. "No and it's because you been like this since you were 14 and kept pulling stunts that were enough to aggravate us. And when you should be recovering right now, and to the point after I caught you sneaking out of your room I was ready to confine you to bed to recover." he said and the twins started laughing at that.
"Like father, like son and somethings never change in your family no matter what generation you are." he said and they nodded. "Unfortunately your watching his green turn to red was not an exaggeration right now, not at all. As everything he wanted I already had by the start of this mission, Darra, and Obi-wan, made their choice. And that choice was not him, not him, but me." Anakin said and Mace crossed his arms then.
"Uh oh, now he remembers the who, so who is it?" Lando asked for the quintet and Anakin removed book ten from the pile and showed them the image then. "The images actually show a true image into these situations, as do the names. Right after Ferus gave me a threat of training interference when we were youngling, it was 6 years later. And bordering on 7 now, but the final showdown didn't just mean against Omega."
"It meant Ferus as well." he said and Ferus paled at the news as he saw the broken hearted look of anger on his face and Obi-wan standing in front of him. Holding Qui-Gon's lightsaber and with a furious look on his face. "That moment, that day, sealed my future in stone, that I wanted the power to save who I love. But the seed had been sown, and the one reaping the benefits of that sown is Palpatine himself now, but here it is."
"At the time, since I was being trained by Father and Ben now, I was being taught key lessons that enabled me to work well with my friends. My trio are and were Darra and Tru, our first mission as a training quartet was to Radnor. And going on a guess here as this was Ferus's activation mision now at the time. And in Father's words, they knew he could and I could fight, we proved that many times in battle now, but the point."
"The key directive in this training was submission of will, we had to depend on each other for survival now in a dangerous situation. If I was Ben and he was Siri, the name of the situation is The Fight For Truth, you redirect that in my book series as a padawan. The title becomes The Way Of The Apprentice, what that mean now in this case. He was the younger padawan, I'd been in the field since I was my current age of 9 years old."
"This was not my test, but his, he had to learn to capitulate with us, specifically me and Darra, we were living force padawans, and he and Tru were unifying force. We had to work together in survival on this planet, our lives, and training depended on it." he said and Darra moved to him as Soara and Damon nodded as they got it and moved to them. "Drawing the battle lines in training, girls." Damon said and the duo nodded to that.
"As you heard him blurt it out right now, but his attitude was based on jealousy, Annie never had to work hard to get people to like him. As Annie had knack for making friends and made them easily, but Ferus had to work to make friends, though he had a lot of admirers. He had no friends at the time, but the closest thing to friends was our training quartet, but their choices now that wrecked our friendship, we went Master Guardian."
"They made their choice and we made ours at the time, the only way to prove we were ready for the trials was the honesty test. We both passed that test by turning them into you at the time, but their choice cost me my life and left him broken emotionally. He needs me to stay like we remember as he gets to see the girls and his friends. When not on Naboo or Tatooine now, starting now." Darra said as she hugged Anakin then gently.
"Not the battle lines, the lines were already drawn when they made their choices, but back track it, if this was us, Grandpa where in our storyline is this at the moment. By that I mean the very start of it when the Sith came back on the scene and Zekk got arrested by Brakiss?" Jaina asked, crossing her arms and the twins nodded. "She's right, if this was us, where are we in your series?" Luke asked and he nodded as he thought it over.
"Give me a minute here." Anakin said and grabbed the ones focused on the first half of the series in his grandchildren's case then and nodded. "Alright to put this in the case of my age group it started with this one." he said and putting book 1 in front of Leia then, before books 2, 4 and 6, and then put book 3 out and finally book 5. "This was us, son, baby, for my generation it was your children's beginning, followed by their capture."
"Not long after that was training with the lightsabers and dealing in a serious siege between us and Xanatos's son and involving the death of a friend and mentor. Not long after that, came my capture by a force obsessed scientist, I was drugged and captured. Trying to force me to use my powers I refused to feel my true pains over Master Yaddle's loss at the time, until I broke free of her control as I unloaded it all to Ben and Master."
"Free to finally feel everything I had to feel it turned this friendship between me and the duo into a resentment, I was Zekk in everything that counts, the good in him. Their mentors focused more on me, their parental mentors more on me. I could be myself as I combined both sides together and I was always with Darra and her trio after this. But this resulted in a severe case of jealousy for one padawan and wariness for the other."
"There in, is and was a truth that resulted in one Jedi padawan being expelled and the other being disgraced for the rest of their lives. But the ending results right now that choice resulted in combining with another loss that left me traumatized ever since. And left Ben worried out of his mind as to the reason to why he never wanted to ease up. In scrutiny, the reason being is because I was in stage one of grief and close to stage two."
"But prior to this I was promising young padawan, I let go of the past and I was moving on now finally and while one bond was fading, the other was getting stronger." Anakin said and the next generation nodded to him. "We remember what you were like as a teenager in your mid to late teens, padawan. But you got the point of our lesson why rush graduation, there was no reason to hurry in training, just take your time."
"It was after Zan Arbor you decided to take as much time as you needed, but your advanced lessons were the ones that changed you, for the better." Mace said, resting his hand on his shoulder and Anakin nodded. "I see where that remark is heading so go ahead and tell them the truth, you came to me, Siri and Ry and told us immediately. That said lightsaber was busted and we needed to end the mission at the time, right then."
"You never lied to me ever and why would you do something this cruel just to prove he's not as noble as he says he is." Obi-wan said to him and Cliegg and Shmi crossed their arms at that news sternly. "Back to back death and I was the second, as your pain from Darra's loss combined with mine and slaughtered a tribe of raiders baby?" Shmi asked and he nodded as he said it then as he looked at his twins gently as he explained it.
"A busted lightsaber and a jealous padawan and his partner apprentice were the reason I, your son, brother and student, changed into the man that later would become Vader." he said and Ferus tried to keep from swallowing at the looks on Mace's, Obi-wan and Siri's faces at the memory of this. "So a Padawan that let the lure of a program and a early chance at graduation to the trials is the cause?" Bail asked, crossing his arms then.
"Mon, Bail, Jan, you knew me for years, and that fear laid was one that was dragged back up by Exar at the time now, but here is my truth. I never turned for power, a lust for power, I sold my soul to the devil to save someone I love." he said and the trio nodded slowly as she rested her hand on his shoulder at that. "That's what happened, after losing 30 loved ones, you turned to save us?" she said and he nodded as he said it.
"The reason is because one thing, by the time we hit Omega's death at Ben's hands I switched over, as Siri and the duo. By that I mean Mace and Adi, they were preparing to train me to be a master guardian now, I reached the level they wanted. And by then we, Darra and I, were close to it by then she was even calling me by my nickname now. But we shifted off the best of friends and reaching the next stage as second year college."
"Darra?" he said and she settled into his arms and the adult quartet nodded as they got it then. "Darra was the loss that destroyed you and started on this path to becoming the second most well known Sithlord in the entire galaxy next to Darth Sidious. AKA Emperor Palpatine is that it Anakin, it wasn't just a family member or a loved one. But both, back to back, before the Clone Wars even started?" Mon asked and he nodded sadly to her.
"That's the trauma that started me on the path to my becoming Vader, you two and in all honesty now, had we ended the mission than your me, this me, would be a Jedi master. As I trained you two to fight the lures of the darkside, as all three of you chose your colors and you became who you are now anyway. But I was in advanced training for several things, but the most important one was controlling the evil in my heart."
"Son, what did you think about when not piloting or when working on your grandfather's farm, before Ben told you the truth I was a Jedi knight, barring master. And aside from wanting to see the galaxy for a while, getting something more interesting. Or at least then being stuck on Tatooine?" he asked and Luke explained that. "When not piloting or running errands to help Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, I thought about mechanics, dad."
"Being a pilot was more interesting then being a farmer at the time." he said and Anakin nodded. "Well your godfather, Master Yoda and the council saw that with me when I was a year or two younger then you. When Ben activated you at the time, but that message being sent from your sister and Alderaan was meant for a council member. But your godfather was 1 of 2 Members on the council that were left alive, the other survivors."
"They went into hiding like Vima did, but how much do you understand of the force son, you were the first of the new Jedi?" he asked and Luke sighed. "Council, I intercepted a message from the Rebellion to a council member, and said is my team of all people?!" Luke repeated in shock and he nodded to him. "Your godfather was my partner in partnerships, we intended it for it to be a repeated theme here from us to you, son."
"But to him, this reminded you of you, once you had your own, say Ben, when he was born was to be your own, so though a consular, he was also a living force like Father was. But Father to Ben, Ben to me, me to Ahsoka, you to me and now you to, as first your brother became your student, Kyp and then to Ben when he was old enough at the time. Ben decided once Leia was ready he would start training her and you went to me now."
"Only natural as opposites sides of the force we're partnered to another of the opposite side, but with that, how much do you understand?" he asked and Luke sighed. "Maybe 50%, why exactly?" he asked and Mace nodded as he got why he was asking this. "Oh boy, though just going on 10 physically and 46 mentally, his knowledge of the force. It matches ours right now as we explain this to a very young Jedi master now."
"And one who is the heir to the throne, so to speak." Shaak Tii said and Anakin looked at her with a bemused smile at that. "Not funny Master, but you're right, first me, then him, as he takes his place on the council." he said and Mace explained it. "It's because to a Jedi when we reach a certain age, our powers start getting weaker. As human Jedi I mean, but the darkside was what was keeping Palpatine alive at the time now."
"But for a Sith, it's the fact they were now soul-less and evil and the darkside was sustaining their lives until it couldn't anymore. Us human Jedi lived a normal life span, 60 to 70 years, maybe 110, if we're lucky, but as we get older, our powers get weaker now." Mace said and Anakin nodded in agreement to that remark gently. "Yeah exactly your grandparents were getting weaker every day and secondly you stop using them."
"And your connection to the force starts diminishing, but as you get older your powers and ability to connect to the force is diminshed. Vima, at this point in time is in her mid 50's, her powers still very strong, but 13 years later her powers started weakening now. So this saved her life, Damon got rid of his lightsaber, as did Tiana, and Keiran. But prior to the accident that resulted in killing Darra now, the entire adult portion of the order."
"They knew this about me, if I bothered to call off the mission that day, Darra would still be alive, but here it is, mom's death at the hands of the raiders. Is similiar to a certain story that Tionne gave you after Tenel Ka lost her arm in the fight with Jacen." he said and they swallowed hard at that. "Nomi Sunrider, you suffered the very same trauma she did here?!" Jaina said and he nodded as Vima squeezed his shoulder at the revelation.
"There are only 3 Jedi masters that knew this, me, Nejaa and Vima, young lady, supposedly in the storyline, but he never had to say anything to the council. They sensed everything he was feeling, after Mace let Dooku have it at the time after 175 members. And in the rescue team were murdered, he was standing between him and Adi. With Obi-wan, me, Kit and Ki right next to him." Stass said and the Solos nodded as Vima said it.
"We lost a lot of friends that day at the time, but first Darra, then my mother, and now my true friends in my clan. The Sith were destroying us by the Clone Wars at the time here cubs, as such, this is the reason, all that was left of my real friends. And in the Jedi were the surviving members of the council, Vima, Kieran, Nejaa, and 3/4's of Ben's clan." Anakin said and they nodded as Mace rubbed his back at the memory as he sighed.
"Lana was the last of his true clan, the ones that didn't care how powerful he was, she was just reaching knight, before the purge." Stass added and they nodded to her. "And I'm not losing him again, he is my baby brother, I will not lose him again now." she said with a firm growl and he hugged her tightly and she smiled at him protectively. "That was the last remaining member of his true friends now at the time, but truthfully now."
"He never had to tell me, I felt the amount of pain he was in, and I was furious that day that I made it clear then. Dooku wanted to continue screwing with him emotionally, he was facing me and my wrath as Obi-wan and I took charge. As Ki, Adi, Kit and I had them and your mother surrounded protectively as we were all furious. But Adi and I were trying to stay in control as a result here too." Mace added and the twins nodded firmly.
"Case load in the remark, which is the last time I ever want to hear that tone in your voice, you were furious enough you were ready to kill him yourself. If I hadn't done it for you at the time, Mace." Anakin said and he nodded in agreement to that. "Said remark being, 'This party's over.' as such, he knew I meant business when I said this. But working together, we and Obi-wan destroy 150 droids." he said and they nodded to him.
"Wait, Nejaa, what's your last name exactly?" Leia asked and he smiled. "My name is Nejaa Halcyon, Corran, I'm your grandfather." he said and the man nodded in shock to the news. "As you considered the families that were linked together had a single thing in common with each other: we were all war veterans. We all faced the darkside and lived to tell about it and we were really close friends." he said as he smiled at Anakin gently.
"Which is why I had to get that message across to your uncle/brother girls, my grandmother's legacy came true twice now. That to protect you cubs from the dangers of the darkside, I was in my mid 50's when I met your grandfather. By the time your father, Han, met me I was 80 and then when Kyp found me I was close to 100. Your grandfather, he knew me quite well, I was a friend and my padawan is Kyp's father, baby, in truth."
"It's not the fact he did it like that, it's the fact he got a taste of the darkside, and this made him so sick to his stomach, that he came to me. And told me what the force happened that day, Jedi lore took on a whole new meaning. For him at the time, I was the grand daughter for the lessons that Tionne gave you. He came right to the source, as he learned from me in that." Vima added and they nodded in shock at the news then.
"But I was in counseling with the council as I studied lightsaber lore, to the council and Ben, or Vima, if I wasn't flying. Or in training sessions to equalize the blue and the red in me to make purple. Or working on the engines to make them stronger, then I thought about mechanics and working on lightsaber facts and designs to create one. And one like the one Gantoris made, only to my parameters, this was to me very relaxing now."
"As I continued counseling, I learned a lot as we worked through these things and with it, to the council, Ben and the trio I made a lot of progress at the time now." he said and Obi-wan hid a chuckle to that. "See the difference, you start me at this age in being a Master guardian and every barb thrown at me never touches me at all?" he asked and Mace chuckled and nodded as he got the point he was trying to make then gently.
"Case point now Padawans, you are not born evil, there has to be something that causes it, that something can cause your mind, as either a toddler. Or just to preteen youngling mind to get warped and repeated traumas like Zan Arbor, or the Blood Carver. Or even Krayne, and combined with it, is false remarks of power by a dark Jedi, or a Sith. But these things are like the embrace of pain." Siri said and they nodded as Mace finished it.
"That's the second time you mentioned that, what is that?" Luke asked crossing his arms and Mace explained it to them. "It's a ritual to initiate a promising light side student to the darkside, clouding their mind. As they encourage your anger and hate, until you commit a deed that destroys you completely, say killing children. When they can't even defend themselves or slaughter a group of people unprovoked, as such right now."
"And whether we knew it or not, the first step to that was on Zonoma Sekot, as he killed for the first time in self defense, before doing it again. And just to save a few thousand slaves, stretched over ten planets, from a dangerous slave trader. We can consider Zan Arbor the one that created a medical version to this by cutting him off from his emotions. But he unloaded it all to us right after that." he said and Luke nodded sternly to that.
"But the stupid fool doesn't realize he can teach you to resist mind manipulations and other ways so he can get you to turn. Your father is the best there is as he has his memories of the next 13 years, before he teaches it to you before you meet Sidious. To answer that, that's Palpatine Sith alias: Darth Sidious." he said and Luke nodded. "Well one change, I start this young and we win." Anakin said and Luke nodded with a smile.
"We see that and you are much stronger now then you were in their timeline, the good in you is pulsing so hard that you're practically glowing purple now." Adi said and Mace and Obi-wan nodded smiling. "Honestly I never was so relieved that I got you back, but like this, in many ways you were the closest thing to a mother I had now. And with the rules still in place, but you got your doubles with the code changed at the time now."
"But I remember, Maul's brother was who killed you, before we lost Siri next." he said and she pressed her forehead to his to ease the pain of the memories as he closed his eyes as Obi-wan nodded. "Yes that's you as I remember you as a teenager, if not flying then you thought about mechanics. And studying lightsaber designs to create one to your specifications at the time." he said and the council nodded smiling to that memory.
As Anakin passed the 8th book to Mace and Adi and the twins saw the love of a father, or mother, to their son in their eyes for him. "That's him as a teenager, but our bond was beyond close as he unloaded his fears to us on his being a master guardian. Helping him balance it out, the bond grew deeper at the time, but the first of the order. To make it was us, Siri and then him in the master guardians." Adi said and they nodded to her.
"You said you knew dad all his life, so this is the way you and Master remember him by, he was the best mechanic in the temple, the best pilot. And you loved him like a brother or a son, and you were determined to protect him. Before Palpatine got you and Master out of the way, before he got hit with the truth and crashed. In where I didn't at the time here Uncle Ben?" Luke asked and he nodded to him gently as he answered him then.
"I practically raised your father by myself son, in truth, in this time, once you took on a padawan you were everything they ever needed you to be. From a parent, to a teacher, counselor, even a healer, my age group is 16 years older then they are. But everything I told you was just that at the time, I met your father when he was this age." he said and the twins nodded in shock to the news at that remark then gently.
"This is when you and Master met dad, he was going on 10 when Master Qui-Gon brought you together?!" Leia asked and they nodded. "Indeed it is, fatal mistake mine was, that never got or took time to get to know him personally. And before the council, got to meet him, themselves they had this week, but fixed that in this time line, I did. And love your father, as my own as a result, but the way I remember him, this is."
"As a child I do, but to me, the pain, shot through my heart it did that the boy helped raise I did and destroyed by Sidious he was. As, at times pride in being a mentor, leads to self destruction, it can. Become too over confident of their students, a mentor can be, that intel on Qui-Gon's apprentice, Xanatos. Vader was repeater of that, as tried to fix mistakes made, we did, but be a good boy he is." Yoda said and Obi-wan finished that.
"Yes it is, this is him when I met him at the time, in many ways I loved him in both ways, a brother and son, I'm 25, he's going on 10, to me he was my entire life. Before your mother came back into it, but they and your godmother were my entire life, my family. And the Sith destroyed my life, by destroying my entire family, either my friends in the council, my clan, or just your parents." he said and Luke nodded sadly to the news.
"But the person that started it was no Sith at all just a closely turning Dark Jedi, who didn't realize their actions sealed my fate at the time. As one single loss causes a chain reaction, as I lose someone else 8 months later and 2/3's of my clan with it. And along with 2/3's of the padawans just ahead of us with it." Anakin said and the duo in question paled at the remark and Leia, feeling the fear, turned her head to look at the duo.
"The person that did it is being expelled from the order, and the other was given denial to the trials now. But that choice came at the cost and of the destruction of our team and a broken heart. That choice ultimately was the deciding factor that started this worry, this fear I had to turn into an obsession. But first Darra, then mom, Soara, Adi, Siri, Ry and finally Ahsoka, and then I had to do my first cold blooded murder and following it."
"I get the news your mother is pregnant with you and that started it as my premonitions were of my pending turn to the darkside. But you want the main reason, it's they cost me Darra." Anakin explained and they nodded in shock to the news, looking at the duo in question her eyes narrowed in anger. "Are these two the duo you mean?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah baby, and like always now." he said as he sighed as he finished to her.
"The record, read it again." Anakin said and she looked at it as the words took on a whole new meaning and her eyes narrowed in anger at that. "Your me, is this me twins, as such right now, everything in those paragraphs was just that right now. My rival and his accomplice decided if I was never going to tell them my personal business. Then I was a threat, before they realized the even bigger threat was I was with your godfather."
"But if I was with your godfather, I was with the council and therefore I am traitor to them, but I didn't care, I loved your godfather. So you need the truth and you're hearing it from me, now finally baby, guys, Lando, you, Han and Chewie over here. But trust me everything I said to the council on that was just that in the files there. That's the entirety and here's the rest of it right now, as you saw from his lightsaber now."
"I saw the blue and the green in their lightsabers with red tinting the color, saying that the lust for power for a chance to make it to the ceremonies was the chance. They had everything, but they still wanted more at the time at the time. But the only way, now to make it to the acceleration trial was the honesty test, but these two. They never wanted to tell the truth as they did what Vader did." he said and the duo paled at the wording.
"Where were you, if the darkside caused them to cave into their lust and envy?" Lando asked and he explained that as Han and Lando crouched in front of him then. "The mission was to the Sith planet of origin, called Korriban, we could feel it then. And I mean right then as cold blooded auras and evil were everywhere we turned there. The last time I felt that was from being around Sidious or their holocrons now, but here it is."
"What some in the Jedi don't seem to get that as human Jedi, or humanoid, is that we're like everyone else, that the darkside, on earth is considered temptation. Being on the planet was to our interpretations, Mustafar in our planetary system. Netu in the Milky Way and on earth it's the underworld, which basically translates to..." he said and Han closed his eyes as he said it. "Hell." he said and Lando felt his stomach turn over.
"So your alter ego is considered a demon, and you were on a planet that was the origin for the demonic side of you." he said and Anakin nodded as he looked at the duo in disgusted anger at this memory. "Like my adult counterparts we all spent a certain amount of time in the real world that we knew at times. Though they try to deny it, it's they allowed temptation to make a choice and decided that they sold their souls."
"And directly to Sidious for the chance to graduate early at the time, me, I turned them in immediately for this conversation, but the crazed jealousy. For the council, Damon and Tiana is bordering on turning to the darkside, the lust, envy, pride and anger. All this was what caused them to self destruct and in turn, caused me to, is because of her." he said and Darra wrapped her arms around him and he leaned into her touch and the duo paled.
"The temptation to graduate was a siren's song, that siren, the chance to arrest the duo, and with them, Sidious was a chance they did not want to give up. As it meant they could get into the acceleration program, that the council was thinking about. But for a living force Jedi, we both realized this was a test to see if they would be honest. If one of them had a problem with the lightsaber and turn it in, realizing this, I did it immediately."
"And right to your godparents, before Darra and I contacted the council and told them what I heard as the true meaning to a single sentence hit me. As they knew as the Padawan who had a life outside the temple, I never, ever would lie to them on this. So telling them, the council, immediately granted me immediate entrance into the program. And with me was Darra, the duo flunked it, by lying." he said and the twins nodded.
"By lying and attempting to implicate a fellow padawan, which is what Lorian Nod did to Dooku, but to me I took the outlets the council left to us and took it right to the council. Telling them what I overheard, I also told them what they said, I'm with your godfather, to them this meant, I was with your godfather, I am with the council. And therefore a traitor to our entire clan, if I turn them in." he said and the twins nodded to the news.
"To protect them, the team, you had to end the mission?!" Leia said and he nodded. "Yeah exactly, but I was the first to get picked at the age of 12, the first to have a steady mentor now. Obi-wan chose me, even before the choosing ceremonies, so as a result, I was the first to leave the temple, I got the team they all wanted, I have the attention. Of Master and the council, since I was the youngest and first the get chosen now."
"And past the correct date of getting chosen so I had the attention of the best masters and knights in the temple, though I came in late, didn't matter. But they thought I didn't care, as I never allowed my emotions to show after I turned them in. But in my heart, I was heart broken, my best friend was dead, thanks to them as a tesult. I made it clear, why didn't he come to me and they try to turn this around, that I turned into Dooku."
"I am nothing like Dooku, what he could never say, I did, I loved the said Padawan like a brother, but I would never, could never do something that my rival implied. And turned them in immediately at the time, but though I turned them in, they still did it. They gave this implication, like I was the one that turned to the darkside when they had. But they refused to see this, thanks to my reputation." he said and trio nodded in disgust then.
"To save us and free us from a dangerous man, you did us all a favor at the time, but to us and the council, it was only fitting. Now that the Jedi who was a slave, is the one who frees us all from a dangerous man. This was not vengeance, but justice, he's terrorized billions for years, everyone wanted him dead. Including the republic, he followed direct orders and did the job himself." Siri and Farcloud said together and the duo paled at that.
"They're right Anakin, your choice was based on waiting for him to yank that gun on you, the second he did that, he signed his death warrant at the hands of a former slave." Mace and Adi told him and he closed his eyes as Thracia gripped his arm. "I know, but that, the guilt never stops, Masters, and both kills or all three of them are in self defense. To protect us every time, they either pressed the wrong buttons and killed themselves."
"Or I took a life to save several billion slaves from our worst nightmare, did they ever do this, blast it?!" he asked, shaking in grief she pressed her forehead to his and soothed his ruffled nerves. "I don't want you to leave, just come back a few times after the carver, still need you, Master, both of you, Daiv and Krayne." he said, looking from her to Mace and they nodded gently to him and he nodded as Leia opened the file on Krayne.
"It's okay, Mace is keeping me updated, but as a Jedi if he needs to recall me I can come, if I was like Halla, that just helps even more right now for your emotional healing." she said softly and he nodded as Leia got it started at that. "Krayne, slave raider, a very dangerous slave trader, reports given by Skywalker. Skywalker stated, after draining him into exhaustion during the fight and after said fight.'."
"That he was watching him, waiting for him to either give up or yank a weapon, giving him just cause to take him in self defense. After the slave raider yanked his blaster, Skywalker stabbed him in the heart. Desperation, in the way that Zan Arbor had done, Anakin decided on the same decision his paternal mentor. Master Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn had to save the people of Belasco from Zan Arbor.'."
"Skywalker later reported, after checking the cartridges in his blaster, that the lasers were laced with the same poison. That was shot into Didi Oddo and Master Jinn, and to save himself, as the poison is fast acting. He cut his wrist off and then stabbed him, out of self defense now.'." she said and Luke nodded firmly. "Self defense is not murder, it's to save your own life, by taking another now, Padawan."
"So tell us, have you ever done this, knowing that you were facing down a person that is so dangerous he's willing to die fighting?" Qui-Gon asked and they swallowed hard at that. "To save billions of slaves from this man, he risked death by getting shot with the same poison, I had to flush out of Didi's body. And this man wasn't being taken, and not without a fight, not murder, it's self defense." their healer Winna said to them sternly.
"Are you the Jedi healer training Bant and Minga?" Leia asked and she nodded to her. "I am, but I knew your godparents and adopted grandparents since we were younglings. And no older then your own children, baby, like the rest of the council, I watched your father grow up, seeing things, these things and I was never so disgusted at the duo. That just because he was different, it's they tried to frame him for murder at the time here."
"Implication of murder, I knew your father so well that I spoke to Thracia and we decided to drag this to the council. I know these stories make it look like his jealousy was turning him into Vader, but that is not true, I know for a fact. Now, that we made one very fast determination, a determination that Darra told us and Damon in confidence. That the duo resented Anakin for never talking about his traumas." she said and the twins nodded.
"I found the same cartridges in Omega's blaster at the time as well here now and to Winna, she decided to call a stand down at the time. To her once was enough, as her friend, Adi's partner, was dead and that poison had one antidote. That was created by a single lab, but said lab was shut down." he said and the duo paled. "Arbor industries, and she was after you now." Han said with a low growl and Luke nodded in agreement.
