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 the 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 47: Jedi Quests And Young Jedi Knights VII: Darkest Knights III
"Why not tell us what happened dad, this is information we deserve to know if he tried to sabotage you, and out of jealousy at the time right now." Luke suggested and Anakin nodded. "Guys group up, this was focused on us and our last race together when I met your sons and daughter, Ratts." Anakin said and the eight podracing pilots moved to him as they exchanged looks as they remembered this particular memory as he explained it.
The Galactic Games Arrival And Riot-Anakin's POV:
"Hello, what the..., Guys this is podracing track." Anakin told the adult trio and they nodded. "And the group over there?" Siri asked and and explained it to her. "They're gearing up for the race right now, we do this all the time on Tatooine. We make jokes about who won the last race, who is going to win this one. At times they start debating about an old friend." he said, as he heard a surname and smiled.
"They're talking about the Boonta Eve Classic, that was the last race I had, they were proud that the youngest of their fellow pilots won the race. They're talking about me, evidently Jabba asked who of the Master/Padawan teams. Was going to be here, and my name came up, they're hoping I will show myself to them. Been close to 5 years, but nothing's changed." he said and the trio nodded to him.
"If this gets physical you may have to now, you know this better then we do anyway, but a chance to reunite with old friends is a good teaching tool." Siri said, before they heard a shout and watched as Ferus charged in then. "What is he doing?" Obi-wan said sharply and Anakin watched it carefully at that. "Think twice, friend and then think again." he said, and the Dug got in his face at that remark.
"Jedi, this is not your fight, stay out of this schutta!" they heard and Anakin nodded. "Stay out of this worm, he's saying this is not your fight, stay out of it." he said and Obi-wan nodded as he looked at the scared look on Ferus's face that his warning never worked at that."That's not going to work, he just told him to stay out of this, that's a dug no older then I am." he said and they nodded to him.
"So what's the fight about anyway, Anakin?" Siri asked and he explained that to her. "It's about that dug's racer, and I...' he started to say as he looked at the engines and nodded. "That's my racer, this dug must be related to my former rival, oh you got to be kidding, Semta." he said in shock and they nodded as the guard called out at that. "It's your's son?" he repeated and he nodded to him.
"It was, but when I used it, it was painted white and blue, but that podracer and the engines. They were built by me, but that's what the fight is about right now, Semta is in a fight with the duo here." he said and the guard that charged up to him answered him quickly. "You understand what their saying?" he said and he nodded as he answered him then as Obi-wan stood next to him at that remark.
"Yeah I do, and it's because I speak the same language." he said and the guard called out. "Anyone want to hazard a guess of what the force this is about right now?" the guard asked him and he nodded. "Yeah it's standard in the case of why someone's engines keeping stalling out. And why the racer looks like it was built with a Jedi handi-cap." he said and they nodded as Siri said it to him at that.
"And reason 2)?" she asked and he hid a chuckle as he answered her at that. "Master gave me my first lesson in being a padawan as a living force Jedi that day. But realizing he sabotaged my racer by breaking a breaker on it. So instead of dicing him, he chose to teach him a lesson here and I was planning on selling it. The pod anyway after racing, but Master took it one step further as he did this."
"Ever since Qui-Gon sold him that racer he's been getting a strict lesson in racing cleanly. And fairly right now, and he and his family have become the laughing stock of the podracing circuit. But she and her partner have been debating this every year for months that this is considered cheating. But they considered I was force sensitive and I decided to give myself a handicap.
"For me this was a handicap, Sebulba this was the teach him a stern lesson in cheating but that's Qui-Gon, he tricked him. And now he's the laughing stock of the entire circuit." he said smiking, and they started laughing at that as Obi-wan said it as he shook his head then smiling at that. "I can't say I blame the pilots for debating that, but that is going just a little too far in paying someone back.
"And for the amount of crashes they caused at the moment in this game, nice touch Qui-Gon that works well. But come on right now, is that debate really necessary right now, Padawan?" he asked him smiling and Anakin nodded smiling. "Yeah it is and trust me I hear this all the time on the circuit before you freed me." he said and Obi-wan nodded smiling as the second guard called out to him.
"Jedi Skywalker, if you know what this is, and who they are, say it quick, before your peer makes it worse." the security guard shouted out to him and he nodded. "Ferus freeze!" Obi-wan shouted out to him. "Ferus, stop, this is not a riot!" Anakin shouted out to him at that as he thought quickly as he shouted it out. "Ke booda, chut chut?" he called out and they heard a fast shout in different language and he nodded
And he nodded as he confirmed it. "Huttese." he told the trio and they nodded to him. "Ke booda nova chut chut, ding mi chasa hopa?" he called out and they heard a fast reaction to the inquiry and he quickly translated it to them as he said it then. "Jedi whoever you are, if you know our language, stop your peer from hurting us. This is not a riot or a real right, we're in the middle of a debate we got into."
"And since this racer was sold to the dug's relative." he said and they nodded to the remark as the guards all looked at him in shock at that. "Where are you from, all of you, what planet are you from exactly?" he called out and he heard the name of his home planet. "Where on the planet exactly guys, where on the planet do you all come from exactly, I am from Mos Espa, I am local from Mos Espa."
"So where on the planet do you all come from?" he asked and she shouted out the name of his home town and he paled as he nodded. "Blast, they're all from Tatooine, they're from my home town, I know them all." he snapped and Obi-wan and Siri nodded in shock. "What's your name, you and your friend?" he called and he heard two name. "Senia Tawbeck and Loren Hawreck." he repeated and the trio nodded.
As they looked at the trio he was in a fight with. "Are all of you podracing pilots, and did you ever see me on the racing circuit?" he asked and they heard a fast shout. "If you raced with us then yes, if you know what this if we were old friends and comrades. When in podracing, if we know you and you know us, stop your fellow padawan." he said, translating as he called out to his fellow surviving pilots.
"Wait a second the racer next to mine belongs to Ratts, he was nearly killed in the cavern, his sons took over for him. And they, and the young Dug are arguing over this, though the duo are trying to prevent it from going to blows, hold on." he said and the trio nodded as he shouted out to the young duo in a fight with the dug. "Guys, it's okay, if you remember the human pilot Anakin Skywalker."
"Well then you remember what went on during these fights on track, but stand down, alright let me handle this." he said and they heard a fast remark in Huttese as he hid a smile as he translated it. "Great where is Anakin when we need him right now we're the best pilots on our planet. And we got some little hotshot trying what Annie always pulled off." he said in aggravation and the trio nodded to that.
"Come on, if you're who I think there is only one way to be sure." he said under his breath. "Ben, Ody, Gas, Ratts, Xelbree!" he called out in Huttese, and he heard an immediate reply to that as they all turned to look directly at him. "Chut, chut!" they called out and he nodded. "That's six and if this is who I think it is then that means this debate is over why the dug keeps stalling out at the start."
"My racing rival is here and that pod belongs to him." he said and shouted out the trio's names at that in Huttese. "Senia, Loren, Semta?" he called out and he heard three affirmatives to the call out. "Who are they if you called out their names?" the guard asked and he explained that. "Members of my home town Mos Espa, we race at the main track, the last time they saw me was the Boonta Eve Classic."
"Before I left the planet, but I know them all very well, that racer used to be mine like I said that's what they're debating at the moment. Senia, Loren, and possibly Sebulba's son, and the others I don't know who is here, but the 6 best racers. With me off the planet now are here and he's about to cause a riot with my friends and fellow podracing pilots." he said and they nodded firmly to the news.
"Friends, they're your friends?!" Siri repeated and he nodded. "All from Tatooine, and Mos Espa, we know each other well." he said and they and the guards nodded "They're all from Tatooine?" the first guard asked and he nodded. "Yeah I know them all, but she's saying get him to back off, before Ferus makes it worse. And he's close to attacking one of them out of miscommunication right now."
"This is not a riot or a real fight, I hear this all the time on Tatooine after a debate. But it's normal for a pilot if they get a new racer, then the debates, it's over who created it." he said and they all nodded to him as he said quickly then. "Let me try." he said and they nodded as he called out. "Chut, chut?" he called out and they heard an automatic response to the greeting as the duo turned their heads to him.
"Chut Chut, E' Tatooine?" the female racer asked and he nodded. "Indeed Mi Chasa hopa?" he asked and she nodded quickly to him at that. "Jedi don't know what he's doing, could make worse if you not chasa hopa, please." she said and he nodded. "Come on." he said and the trio nodded as they got closer as he headed to them. "Wait a minute, I know the vehicles, these two are podracers, they're all podracers."
"But we each chose a specific design, they're podracing pilots, quiet." he said as he listened carefully to the fight and nodded. "They're arguing over the fact mine was given a Jedi handi-cap, Sebulba's here. And possibly several more members I used to race with, they hear the title. And of the race that freed me that ends this guys." he said and Obi-wan, Siri and Ry all nodded to the news in amazement.
"Who are they?" Obi-wan asked and he explained that. "Loren Hawrek and possibly Senia Tawbeck, the last race we saw each other. It at was at the Boonta Eve Classic, that's the one that freed me. But if this fight is over the case of Selbulba using my podracer, she's saying that a Jedi handi-cap created podracer. Is fine and this is not cheating and their debating over why he keeps stalling out."
"Semta is irritated that he snd Sebulba, my rival and his father keep stalling." he said and the trio nodded in amazement to that. "She's from Ben's home planet, and he's from Ody's, but I know them both, 5 years and a new haircut doesn't change anything. As they'll know it's me the second I say their names as we go to our normal language, which is Huttese and that's the local tongue.
'And for all Tatooine locals, but as a result, their old friends, and racing comrades of mine, so let me handle this. I know thr people involved as this is my home town, but sport, people involved and hometown. Let me handle this, just get ready in case Sebulba arrives too soon. and you better take this right now." he said, passing his lightsaber to him and and Obi-wan nodded to him smiling.
"No lightsaber?!" the guard repeated and he looked at him. "Do you want this to turn into a riot, Ferus has his out, and we don't this getting worse right now." he said and they nodded as Obi-wan answered him in agreement to that. "Nice, and you make a good point here, we get the one race, now. That has several of your friends at and you know what to do." he said and Anakin nodded in agreement.
"I don't think they're the only ones here, but as is Sebulba, and possibly three or four others. But it's the standard debate in podracing as for the aliens they never understood why a human could do this. Or said human was child and said was no older the five in racing, but this helps now at the moment. As reason being, is that the main racing circuit for us Tatooine locals was in Mos Espa."
"And the last race resulted in destroying, Ody's engine and after one of his pit droids got too close. And Ben's power coupling exploded before I shot passed him in the starter. But if the guys are all here, expect trouble from this, as Sebulba is a filthy cheater, I got the point of your last test, this is mine." he said and the trio nodded with a bemused smile at the news as he went further at that.
"Your sensory perception test of the force now, Ferus never saw what I did and jumped right in there, he's showing of and thst could get him expelled. Or worse arrested and kiled by my planet we live outside the republic as a result. But and here's the bad part, I just gsve every slave in the galaxy hope of freedom. And then freed them all from our worst nightmare, we must survive on our own."
"Well that answers that, we didn't know there was going to be podracing at the games, but they chose a game that I know. And one I'm an expert in this after fours years of doing it right now. Let me do this, I can stop this, before it gets worse." he said and Obi-wan nodded. "If you're planning on doing this, it's just this once and for the last time now." Obi-wan told him and he nodded to the orders.
As Siri finished that. "Anakin that personal part of your life came up 6 months this is the other, so use that against them now. You're a Tatooine local, but a Jedi, your test was passed by seeing what he didn't see. So make it clear what this test really is." she said and he nodded gently. "Son, if you know the pilots involved, then you take charge for us, if you did this repeatedly in your home town."
"And they all know you, use that now." the guard said and the trio nodded in agreement to her thoughts. "She's right, you know them and you know your planetary customs so you take charge right now. You're the only one who can stop this act like you did then." Obi-wan said and he nodded. "Obi-wan, Siri, I know under normal circumstances..." he started to say and they nodded to him.
"We'll let it go this once, but we don't need that happening repeatedly between you, you're the veteran padawan, he's the rookie. They're your people and this is your life before we came into it." Obi-wan and Siri said together and he nodded as he made it clear as he answered them. "Sorry guys, but I'm going to have to do a public dressing down." he said and they nodded firmly to that news and remark
And as she answered him gently at that. "Well you take charge then, if your fellow racing pilots are here that stops this before it results in a shootout." Siri said and he nodded as he got ready to do it. "Better do it fast, before he makes it worse." Ry added as he saw Ferus yank his lightsaber. "Oh no, not now don't try it Ferus!" he shouted out to him at that as he quickly shouted out to the pilots at that.
"Everyone hold fire, don't shoot." he called out and they froze at that as he said it to Obi-wan. "Chut Chut, don't shoot, just hold fire!" he called out in Huttese and that caused the entire group to freeze. "Chut, chut, if looking for Skywalker, you just found him now, guys, hold fire, don't shoot, chesko, chesko. He's a uma geesa of Tatooine, me local, so chut chut." Anakin called out to them and they nodded.
"Nice thinking, your native language is the fight stopper and it keeps anyone from losing it now." Siri said and he nodded as they moved closer to the group as he got a better look. "Yeah it's Loren and Senia alright, they're arguing over this, but Ferus, he could have made it worse." he said and she nodded as he said it to her. "Senia, Loren, chut, chut." Anakin called out to them and they called back to him
"Oh force, they see a lightsaber and there's going to be a blood bath, only a Jedi that knows the duo this well can do it, so get ready in case it gets worse guys." he said and they nodded as he shouted out to them. "Whoa, whoa hold fire, nobody move, Ferus put it down now." he said as he got ready to swing it within an inch of the female racer's neck as he shouted out for as they heard a sigh of relief at that.
"Ferus, stop, don't, just back off, let me handle this." he called out at that as he charged in at that, as they saw the lightsaber he yanked and he threw himself in front of her and he grabbed his wrist. "Don't, stop and put it down now, let me handle this." he said and turned to the trio. "Chut chut, Loren, good to see you again, ding mi chasa hopa." he said and they relaxed in relief as the male alien straightened up.
"Semta Hekula, been a long time boys, good to see you right now." he said and they straightened up at that. "Indeed, young Padawan whoever you are, how do you know we are?" the alien asked him and he smiled. "You called a surname, you were hoping I was here, but give me five minutes. And let me deal with my companion, but Chut chut, mi ki chasa hopa." he said smiling and the alien nodded.
"Ke booda, chut chut." the dug said in relief as the second pilot nodded in agreement gently. "Mi chasa hopa." the male alien and the dug said together and he nodded. "You're welcome, you guys okay?" he asked in Huttese to them at that gently. And they both nodded to him gently at that as the male alien smiled in relief. And as she answered him gently at that remark as she looked into his eyes in relief.
"I am, Jedi and thank you so much." she said and the duo nodded in agreement. "Anything for an old friend Senia, Loren and Semta." he said and they nodded as they exchanged looks. "Know who we are, without needing to hear our names or where from?" the young dug asked and he nodded to him gently as he said it. "No banyo, from Tatooine and Mos Espa myself, five years, but still me."
"Me slave, before become Jedi, Boonta Eve Classic." he said and they nodded in shock and relief at the revelation then. "So race with us, or watch us race?" she asked and he smiled at her. "Race with you, first human racer in podraces, long story can explain in a minute while get misunderstanding worked out." he said to her and they both nodded in agreement to that thought as the male alien said it to him.
"Indeed, but good to see a local who is a Jedi, young Jedi here, not know what this is, but relieved you do my friend, if knew each other in another life now." he said in Huttese and Anakin nodded. "I do, the last time we saw each other was at the Boonta Eve Classic Loren, I'll explain who I am soon." he said and they nodded as she gripped his arm and he nodded as he rubbed her back to calm her down softly.
"Senia, you okay, it's alright, he doesn't know what he's doing, he's a very fresh student just out of basic training at the temple. I got started the year before, but it's me, it's me, Sen." he said in Huttese and she nodded as she pulled him into a hug and he pressed his forehead to her's as he felt her shaking in fear then. "Force that was too close, I don't believe you Ferus." he snapped in anger at that to him.
As he lifted his gaze to him sternly. "You out of your mind, what the force were you thinking right now, this is not a riot, but a misunderstanding?!" Anakin snapped at him sternly at that. "What are you doing Anakin, their rioters?!" he said in shock and he shook his head. "Not rioters, this is a simple debate us locals get into all the time in the racing circuit, you don't understand huttese, Ferus."
"It's that clear, I grew up speaking the language and the local tongue or Tatooine is Huttese, if you heard me putting my notes. And into my local language, so you can't copy off me, this is why. This debate in huttese is a standard argument that happens all the time. They're Tatooine locals Ferus, and you just failed Adi's test right now, they're my friends in the racing circuit."
"Are you trying to cause it to turn into a bloodbath, they're my own kind, so stand back and watch me. I know what they are, they're podracers, Ferus, let me handle this." he said as Obi-wan moved in with Siri, Ry and Tru behind him as they watched things. "Senia, you okay?" he asked her and she nodded. "Chasa hopa." she said as she straightened up as he looked at the fight between the dug and the racer.
"Whoa, alright hold fire, what's the problem both of you?" he asked gently as he walked up. "Was it just you three or did these guys also start the fight, before you three nearly got caught in the middle." Anakin asked in Huttese and a bigger version to the young Dug answered that. "Stay out of this human." one of them said and he looked between them and he looked at the alien firmly, at that remark.
Before turning back to the trio gently as he said it to them. "Chut Chut Sebulba, been a long time, but chesko, now is not the time for this." he said in huttese and he nodded. "Di minimento and then discuss how you know me, that is if the truth doesn't come out in the next 20 seconds. Young Jedi, if we knew and know each other already." he said and Anakin nodded as he explained it to the group at that.
"Chesko Sebulba, he's uma geesa, but remember, de doe pot sleemo?" he asked softly and Sebulba's eyes widened at that as he answered that exchange in their last race together. "You bantha poodoo..., Skywalker?!" he said in shock and Anakin noded to him. "Yes Sebulba, it's me alright, five years older and five years wiser, but Jedi and saved Semta and protected him." he said and the dug nodded in relief to that.
"We do, but if you chose the only way to get my attention, that's a good one and a good way to do it. After you and Jar Jar nearly got into it at the time, before I left the planet that year." he said and she answered. "I'll asked where that remark was heading in a second, Jar-Jar, the gungun?" she asked and he nodded. "No kidding right now, but as for my classmate, guys, and my other friend."
"It's alright, I'm not like him, Ding mi chasa hopa?" he asked and they nodded sighing. "Ke booda?" one of them asked and he nodded. "De boda chut chut." he said in response and they immediately relaxed at that. "So what caused the fight exactly?" he asked and they sighed. "Long story, but debating over his podracer." she said to him in Huttese and he nodded to her gently smiling as he answered her.
"I know that Ratts was nearly killed in the classic guys, so I take it you took his place and racer since?" he asked and they all nodded. "Indeed but how did you know that?" the pilot's oldest son asked him. "The only human pilot in this type of race is Anakin Skywalker, but you guys, we knew each other in another life. It's been five years now, were you hoping to see someone today, or find someone?"
"if you reacted like this to my team mate?" he asked and they nodded to him gently. "Jabba gave us news that one of the teams, in Jedi teams, that was coming to help with security in the games, was holding a Jedi. And by the surname Skywalker." she told him and Ferus paled at that remark. "You were hoping to, if he was here, find Anakin Skywalker now and before this debate started."
"You knew that your friend and fellow pilot, though a Jedi, was still showing interest in the podraces. Though a fight like this would draw him out and you would know him once you saw him finally, that it?" Anakin asked and they nodded to him. "I know most humans never get involved in a fight where podracing is concerned especially not Jedi, so why you?" the dug asked him at that remark.
"Veteran racer actually, but I'm from the Outer Rim territories, during the weeks leading into the Boonta Eve Classic. But I didn't have to hear the words, you're arguing over this racer, because she's right and he's wrong, right?" he asked and they all nodded to him gently at that remark. "So preparing for the podrace I assume, did you all just get here at the moment now."
"And just so you can prepare for the race, taking turns on the circuit to practice. And you see him using a human made podracer, that start it?" he asked and they looked at him in shock. "Indeed we are, but how did you know that?" Senia asked and he smiled. "I'm like you actually you two, an old podracer in my prime." he said and they nodded in shock to that as she answered him then.
"But how could you be a podracer, you're a human?" she asked and he smiled at her. "Well think about it, there is only one type of racer that can survive this type of race, if they were human. Only one young human, you al knew raced in that race, but hiw could that be exactly?" he said and she leaned against her pod. "The only human that can survive it is a Jedi." she said and he nodded to her.
"Yes, but do you recall a young pilot, a human pilot in the Boonta Eve Classic?" he asked her and she looked at him in shock. "Hang on, where did you get this racer from?" he asked the dug and he explained it. "It belonged to my father human, who are you." he said and he smiled sternly, as he looked at him. "Does the name Anakin Skywalker ring a bell?" he asked and they nodded in shock to the name then gently.
"Your father is Sebulba, the former rival of Anakin Skywalker, the day of the Boonta Eve Classic he lost to Skywalker?" he asked and they nodded in shock to him at that. "Indeed we do, but that was five years ago." the male alien said, as he smiled at him. "You ever wonder what happened after the race, in what happened to him?" he asked and they nodded in shock as he answered him then.
"Guys, those five years I was in training all this time, but it's been five years and I'm turning 14 this year." he said and they nodded in shock as he said it gently to the duo as he looked between them smiling as he said it to them. "Loren, Senia, it's me." he said and they looked at him in shock at the use of their names. "How do you know who we are exactly?" Loren asked and he smiled as he answered him.
"Been a long time, but it's easy to figure out, but you're from Ody's home planet, she's from Ben's and the last race we saw each other, now, before I left. It at was at the Boonta Eve classic, that was five years ago, and that race resulted in a debate after Sebulba was beaten by me. You remember that young pilot, when I was a youngling at the time right now here now, 9 years old."
"Well then add the five years and remove the haircut you two, you were also at the race then. And as one by one each of you lost your chance to beat Sebulba, that was the last time you saw me, before you got wind that some Jedi. Said was a former slave killed the raider finally and that was last year, well here I am now, been a long time, but though five years, still me you guys."
"The me you remember is still there even after five years of training, new haircut and lightsaber, but still me now. Guys the hope that you would find me again was granted when my team mate got into it with you. But here I am, five years and nothing ever changed that in me, you wanted me back. Well here I am now." he said and they looked at him in shock as they did as he suggested.
"No, that can't be?!" she started to say as she looked into his eyes and nodded as she said his name. "Anakin?" she said in shock and he nodded. "Like I said, only a local can do this." he said to Ferus said and the boy swallowed hard as that as he answered her. "Yeah it's me alright, Senia Tawbeck, that really you, five years and nothing ever changes?" he asked and she smiled in delight at him as she said it to him then.
"Little Annie, I don't believe it, we never thought we'd see you again." she said smiling in delight at him and he nodded. "Long story, but as I said he's a very fresh recruit just out of basic training, you already know me." he said and the group nodded smiling in pride and relief then as they surrounded him in happiness at that. "Skywalker, you are Annie Skywalker?" the Dug said in shock and he nodded to him.
"I am, but I'm a Jedi now, but that racer you own is mine actually I built it, but this is why your father kept stalling out in the starts. It's a Jedi handi-cap podracer in the engines, but did you think only aliens can race. And in this particular sport, as it takes a special type of human to do it." he asked and the Dug swallowed hard at the remark as the brothers, she and her friend smiled.
"Yes, yes it's me, but I never thought I'd ever see you again, what are you doing here?" she asked before he could answer he heard a familiar call out. "Skywalker is that really you?" they heard and he turned his gaze to the alien. "Whoa, well if that tells me anything, if their best racers are here, then so is Jabba at the moment." Siri said and Obi-wan nodded as they listened to them.
"Who else here from our planet, if he just said that?" Anakin asked and she quickly answered him. "Ody Mandrell, Ben Quadrinaro, Ratts, Gasgano and Xelbree, as well as Sebulba." she said and he nodded as he called back to him. "Ben, Ben Quadrinaro, yes it's me and it's good to see you old friend." he said and the alien moved to him and with him two others as they quickly loked him over smiling then.
"Good to see you Skywalker, been a long time." the second alien with him said gently smiling at that and they smiled at him. "Well this is a pleasant surprise, we never expected to see you here of all places Anakin, after the Classic, it's good to see you." Ben told him and he smiled at him gently at that. "You too, Ben, Ody, Xelbree, it's good to see you old friends." he said and they smiled at that gently.
"You too, Annie, it is good to see you, so what has brought you here?" Ody asked and he smiled. "On security duty with my mentor and two more teams, though I never expected to head off a fight. And between two racing rivals in the same way I had to Sebulba, though this keeps up and he's here at the moment now. But the padawan that did that is showing off to my mentor and the council."
"Well it's a rematch between us, but we're friends and back together." he said and they nodded smiling, bemused. "Indeed, Tatooine's top six best racers are here for the games and the podraces. But with you gone, that left us five now, but we were not expecting to find you here of all places right now. We got word in on the fact that the raider is gone, that true?" Ben asked and he nodded to him softly
And as he rubbed his wrist unconsciously at that remark as he said it with a sigh to him then. "Yes it's true, I did it." he said and they nodded as they saw the scar on his wrist and sighed. "Refused to surrender and it turned into a murder/suicide job, right Annie?" Xelbree asked and he nodded. "At the moment I'd rather remember the good memories when we were competing against each other playfully."
"But if you guys are here, then so is Sebulba?" he asked and they nodded to that remark. "Indeed, but that was a very close shave, be more careful at the moment." Ben told him and that did it for them. "Skywalker, as in Anakin Skywalker of the Boonta Eve classic winner Skywalker. You were the first of us that won against Sebulba, that Skywalker?" Loren asked and they nodded to him.
"Indeed, that is exactly what we do mean, so again, what's the fight about if you know each other and why did it start?" Ody asked him gently and she sighed as she answered him gently. "Jabba said you would be here, but hearing our conversation in Huttese was enough to get your attention. But followed by that, and actually throwing caution to the wind and jumping in front of her now."
"Just to prevent that fight from starting was enough to expose your cover. Different appearance maybe, but that's still you as we know you, someone want to get this under control and before it turns into a real riot. At the moment though, as to why, if you hadn't intervened. And he would have been arrested for attacking her and miscommunication right now at the momeny, Annie."
"You knew what to do as you knew all of us and secondly at the moment here. It's because you did this all time on Tatooine and we all saw the fight and near altercation between the Gungun and Sebulba." Xelbree said to him and he nodded firmly to that remark. "Trust me I know that, but he's a unifying force, who has a lot to learn still about the living force, and until seven months ago."
"He never left the temple, while I travel quite extensively right now, but clearly the council obviously knew, if the games included podracing. To send their best team as the duo with me learn by example, as I know all of you quite well." he said and the quintet nodded in agreement to that. "Who's the bonehead who misinterpreted this, at the moment right now as you translated it for them."
"As you know what to do, as you knew all of us and we're all from Tatooine too. And the same spaceport, but seriously only you could end this as you did this all the time on Tatooine, and we knew each other already." Ben said firmly and he nodded in agreement. "No kidding, but seriously, he's a very fresh out of basic training student." he said and they all nodded to him gently at that remark then softly.
"I don't care what he was thinking at the moment, if you hadn't stopped that could kiled her right now. But you knew who we are, just by our planetary greeting I don't believe this. Just what the force was he thinking, you only needed to hear the conversation to know we're all from Tatooine. And secondly you know us all and we're friends and racing companions for five years."
"But we know you better then he does and you know us, as we spend six years together before you left Mos Espa at the time. And better then he does, so that over reaction is enough that it could have turned into a real riot. Now, if you hadn't thrown yourself in front of me, but honestly. It's a matter of knowing the language and shouting out to us, to know we found each other finally.
"You're a pilot, and secondly we know you better then he ever could, so what's the point of exercising Jedi restraint if he never learns. And to connect to the living force, you had a knack for making friends and made a lot of them, Annie." Senia said gently to him and he nodded in agreement to that. "That a nickname?" Loren asked her and she nodded as the quintet exchanged smiled then gently.
"Yes we all knew him by this name as a child, but he was one of the kindest human children we ever had the privilege of knowing at the time. But five years, I know this is him, but five years Jedi training, if he said. That he had a mentor, the man was his other and this is guess. Well then the farmer that sponsored him, he was not a farmer at all, but a Jedi master, the Jedi were there."
"On Tatooine, possibly on protection duty of the girl that was with him and he's being trained by said master's own apprentice right now. But the girl next to that young man, she must be the Jedi undercover. Just after Halla was killed by the trader 6 years ago." she said and he nodded to her. "Yeah that's what happened alright, the master in question helped me unlock my own powers."
"She is my team partner, her mentor is Qui-Gon's best friend and our teams have been together for 18 years now. But she went undercover, I had to be the padawan that got arrested and together she and I stopped the trader forever. but my companion is her student, but Jedi are two one kind of one of the other. As for my old racer, that was built with a way to make the race interesting."
"And that racer I was using was for a Jedi handi-cap, although Selbulba is being taught a strict lesson on cheating. For me it was to make the race more fun, for Sebulba a strict leson in cheating." he said and they chuckled at that remark. "Little Anakin Skywalker, force have you grown." she said and he hid a smile to that. "I missed you guys, but knowing you got the chance to see me and me you."
"But could you, the five of you, do me a favor and spread the news to my friends and mom. That you had the chance to see me here at the games as we got the chance to see each other finally." he asked and they all nodded smiling to him at the request then gently, watching the other padawan with a look of shock then at that. "We missed you, it's not the same without you there to corral him right now."
"In fact it's the same without you racing with us." she said and he gave her a hug and she tightened her arms around him. "You never changed, five years and you never changed a bit right now. It's that clear to me, Annie, but that's how you always used to do it before. But only a true padawan, skilled in the ways of the living force can get us to end this debate." she said and he nodded to her at that.
Watching him getting a hug by the alien woman, Obi-wan smiled at that remark. "Like we kept saying you want to learn, then watch by learning by example. Qui-Gon did it with me, I did it with him and now he's teaching Ferus by example, it's so clear. That he was well known in his home town, the other racers, they all loved him, we know he never changed a bit in their eyes and ours right now."
"That's his nickname, Qui-Gon and the queen called him that the entire trip back Naboo to and from now from Coruscant." he said and the duo nodded. "Case point in training, I don't think that the boys were expecting to meet up with a quintet of racers. And said that know Anakin on sight the second they saw each other, after he said their planetary greeting." Ry said, seeing the shocked look on Tru.
"What's with him?" Ody asked and he sighed. "He's in shock that just talking to you guys can end the fight, before the weapons came out right now. He and my other flight companion grew up in the temple and secondly. He's not able to work with other beings as well as I can with you." he said and they nodded with a bemused look on their faces as Ben said it for them with a firm smile on his face at that.
"What type of Jedi are you if you could make friends this easily and make a lot of them?" he asked and he explained that to him. "I am living force, I can connect to others easily, but making friends easily was part of this. I don't have to exercise that, as we know each other so well. As all it takes is calling out our greeting to get your attention." he said and the Tatooine locals nodded, smiling.
"Is it really that hard to see that not only do we know each other, but you used to do this all the time on Tatooine, in preventing a fight between one of us and Sebulba. But you never changed a bit, and the fact we all know you so well is a shocker to a Jedi who grew up in the temple, aside from your mentor and his fellow masters at the moment?" Loren said bemused to that news gentlu at that.
And they nodded in agreement as Ben said it to that. "He's right, you know us better then he does. Typical, that just makes even more clear, you're the one that grew up outside the temple and you knew us better then they do. All it took is mentioning the race, and then say our names and we know it's you. As there is only one Anakin Skywalker on our planet, who was the best pilot in town."
"And said was a very good pilot who beat our rival for the first time in years." he said and they nodded as they looked at Ferus sternly at that. "That's the next lesson that Adi wanted you to learn, but time passes and it teaches. And you are nearing 16, you have much to see and much to experience, but do not hurry. In the knowledge that you seek, for that knowledge takes it own time."
"I'm a living force Jedi, and this was a key point in my training, and I learn by example, but I learn better in the field. But if you never open yourself to the living force, you will never learn anything. For a Jedi who is learning to understand, this is a matter of not everything is all that it seems to be you two. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind, well."
"Then you're obviously thinking about the being out there and not focusing your mind on things in the here and now. And never your mind on where you are, nor what you're doing, as such, if I hadn't stopped this, you failed. Not just mentioning the race, but our term for help and you immediately responded. And to me on that, the races occupants are scattered all over the Outer Rim."
"Before you three came to me at the moment, but is it really that hard to see, that this is not a riot. But a simple misunderstanding, one that only a fellow local of the planet can take charge in, before it gets worse. Ferus blast it this could have destroyed your career right now?" he asked Ferus and he swallowed hard. "Only someone who knew what to do and opened themselves up."
"And completely, to the living force can see this as a misunderstanding a gentle debate, not a riot Ferus, just a misunderstanding right now, and one. That we, as Tatooine locals get into all the time, look around you to see how close it was." he said to him firmly and he swallowed hard as he watched the guards blasters be put up and he swallowed hard as he saw the adult trio put their lightsabers away.
And Anakin nodded sternly at that. "You see how close you came to causing a real riot, you have the guards ready to fire their weapons. While our mentors and fellow padawan bringing out their lightsabers. And even several vibro-axes and knives got yanked out as a result here. Had I not intervened right now, this could have turned into a real blood bath and someone could end up in."
"And truthfully, in the hospital while you get arrested for a near murder or a real one. What's the point of learning to be a Jedi if you never open yourself up to the living force, the living force, showing compassion. Showing compassion is not against the code, it's central to a Jedi's life, so we are encouraged to love. But you, you never look at the long term ramifications for your actions."
"But I see and know where I mess up, and I learn never to do it twice." he said and Ferus swallowed hard at that. "Ferus for a young padawan, you really are an idiot, do you understand the seriousness of this right now, you let me have it on Radnor. But my how the tables have turned right now, so you say I should think more like a Jedi and yet when in public surrounded by every planet.
"And from Corsucant to Tatooine is here, and you just barely turn us into martyrs, you're lucky I stepped in here right now, padawan. This is the way of the apprentice now, stepping in without violence, and if there are a few locals that know you then all the better. But violence is not the answer, it never was before I left Tatooine at the time as my last encounter was a warning."
"And with my rival before the race and it never will be, and all it takes is a fast call out from me. In our local tongue, and it ends in a hurry, if you touched her they would have arrested you." he said sternly to him and Obi-wan and Siri crossed their arms at that. "That's going a little far in the reprimand, but at the moment he's right, if this was you and me, and you reacted in the same way."
"Qui-Gon would have let me have it for giving you this type of telling off right now for this, but come on right now. He's right on all counts is it really that hard to see this, he knew what to do the second he saw the quintet right now?" Obi-wan asked her and she nodded in agreement. "We better let that telling off go, just this once only with Qui-Gon gone." Siri told him and he nodded in agreement gently.
"Going a little too far maybe, but never mind that, had he not intervened and the council would have expelled him for a close call murder or worse. The fact that he reacted in a way that is unbecoming of a Jedi when he's only going on 16, Anakin grew up in the outside world, he knows what to do." he told her and she nodded firmly to that remark as he said it to that remark gentlu at that..
"He's right at the moment, if he attacked her with that lightsaber, that's just cause for the planet leader to evict us right now from the planet. But Anakin did the right thing by stepping in as a result he did it perfectly by preventing him from making the biggest mistake of his life. But that was a very near murder instead of preventing a riot, he could have killed someone here."
"And that could have gotten us kicked off the planet and turned into martyrs." Obi-wan told her and she nodded in agreement. "I can't believe how close a call it was here, what the heck was he thinking. I mean if he slowed it down and looked at it more closely, he'd see what Anakin told us. Anakin passed our test immediately here by use of force sensory perception ag thr moment now."
'But it's clear how much those racers know and adore Anakin, it's clear he was close friends with all of them, they all know him all too well." Ry said in response and she nodded to that. "One more reason never to over react in the boys." Siri said and they nodded. Listening to the telling off, Obi-wan and Siri nodded."Ferus, you are so lucky I stopped you right now, from attacking her now."
"Or you could have made the biggest mistake of your life, listen to me, if this was showing off over did it. You know I was living as a non living force, before Obi-wan met me, but as a result right, that gave me a sixth sense. Just to know a way to do this without it getting dangerous, and pulling your lightsaber. Out at the wrong moment is, you could have killed her out of miscommunication."
"Ferus, you out of your blasted mind, they were debating over the racer, I created that racer, that year. This is Senia Tawbeck and Loren Hawreck, they're podracers of my home planet of Tatooine, there was no riot about to be started. It was a simple disagreement, that podracer, they're debating about used to belong to me, but no riot, no chance at it turning it into a shootout."
"You realized you could have killed her, a Jedi is a peace keeper, not a local security grouping, this was a job for a living force Jedi." he said to him sternly and he swallowed hard at that. "But they were about to bring out their blasters, what was I supposed to do?" he asked quickly and he crossed his arms. "Maybe not bring out your weapon at the exact same time." he said to him sternly at that remark.
