Warnings: This Portion of the Story covers the a few bits of the Final Showdown and the re-write of the story. As he immediately tells the adult quartet and their mentors and reports them. But from here the differences between Anakin and Ferus are made clear, before it returns to his dealing with Jacen now.
The Conversations between them in my other story are going to be part of this from here on in. So first this and then The Uncertain Path as Anakin shows that to combine both sides of him together makes him ten times stronger. And even more then even they expected as to the both groups finally in their eyes.
They got to keep his powers of of Sidious's hands from that day forward just to prevent a repeat then as this starts off slowly. As Anakin also tells them the story of how he created his first lightsaber with it at the time now...
Chapter 56: Jedi Quests And Young Jedi Knights XIII: The Final Showdown VIII
"I understand, our brother bond matters more." he said and Anakin nodded. "Everything I needed in you, I have Master, father/best friend/brother/mentor. Everything I needed you to be you were there, always, for me. I can't just lie to you like that, I never could before. Why now, he wants me to lie, forget it, a choice between you or him, no choice necessary, it's always going to be you."
"Just like bring balance, it's they are both powerful, but the way you use them is the key now, I under the meaning. Everything was out of balance, we nee to match them in strength now by everyone but us going grey Jedi. The code has to change and the republic and us dealing with a dictatorship. That's the bring balance to the force. he said and Obi-wan nodded to him gently at his remark.
"You were the chosen one alright, we just been guessing and second guessing that possibility since we found you. But the power of light is no more powerful then the dark, the old ways must die and everything we believe in, since Qui-Gon's death. It was all a lie, everything, so we have to change now and before we lose you next, I understand, but before we tell that to the council."
"What was the problem, I saw Darra move to you and press her forehead to your's what was that about exactly?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "I suppose you saw us discussing something and then felt a jot of anger go through the link between us?" he asked and they all nodded to him gently as the trio exchanged looks gently at that as he got ready to say it, as the trio exchanged looks at the question.
And Soara said it to him gently as he looked between them. "Yes we did, so what made her do that exactly, what did he say to cause that?" Soara asked and he sighed as he said it to them. "Though I told you the truth, he assumed I was lying and I made it clear that my education is your concern. And the council's and only your's, I also admitted he was right, slight case of luck, but he was right."
"But that's where the conversation took the turn that got your attention when you saw Darra move to me. And press her forehead to mine, as Amee did that all time, regarding Sebulba, 11 years ago. Would you call making threats like 'I'll be watching you' as training interference. just like you let it slide I reprimanded him at the games?" he asked and they nodded in shocked disbelief at that news then.
"Yes we do, in fact had I heard that conversation, I would ask you what that was about. Before I asked you two to repeat the conversation this time in front of us, and before we drag him on board. And for a disciplinary lecture, on that, but I know you, you never lied to me before. And why start now exactly, I know you, you never lied before." Obi-wan said and Anakin nodded to him gently at that.
"Master, ever since then, he was hoping that he could provoke me into losing my temper, just to make me look bad and him good in your eyes at the time. And said lose my temper, is entirely, but think about it, the first to head it off is Darra, and then when you meet Sebulba. You got to be the one that heads it off as I cooled down immediately, following that now as a result here."
"Remember you saw the rudeness in Sebulba, but you made it clear, a Jedi does not give into taunts, he is not my enemy, anger is the true enemy." he said and Obi-wan sighed in relief at that as he saw a several pieces of paper with a metal connector. And to hold them together, checking the first page, he saw the words The Rising Force on it as he realized what story the title connected to then as he said it.
"The rising force, but that would mean..." he started to say and their mentors lecture and nodded. "The weeks before my 13th birthday, Master said this when I was sparring Bruck at the time. That to defeat your enemy, you must defeat the anger in him, you defeat the anger in him. And he is you enemy no longer, for anger is the true enemy." he said and Anakin nodded to him in agreement then.
"Growing up in the real world, your wisdom, their wisdom, always lead me in the right direction. But father also said necessary to wait, yes you have to do some, but it's better to wait. That's why when Ferus got captured at that academy, I knew I had to rescue him, but haste was also the enemy, don't you see that?" he asked and Siri checked the quotes of wisdom that their mentors then.
The quartet, the council and Master Yoda always told them and they closed their eyes. "Force, why did I never remember that before." Obi-wan said and he nodded. "All this time as I grew up, I traded the words in your lectures, to Father and Adi's lectures. In a way father was training me through you at the time, I changed into you as I grew up, I act rashly and someone could get killed, now."
"But it's always tempting to act." he said and the quartet finished that. "But it's often wiser to wait, impatience is the true enemy, rage is the true enemy." they all said together and he nodded. "You taught me, but though it's tempting to act, it's often wiser to wait, as a result, I had to wait till you arrived. As is the fact that, and to be honest, it's the fact that I couldn't get him out of there now."
"And without getting him killed as things changed, but from there, it only became more clear regarding this now. But here it is, his jealousy started getting worse after Yaddle now at the time, as you guys all started focusing on me dealing with this. That I finally admitted my biggest fears to you, the fact that I hate my powers and my sensitivity to the force at the time here."
"But my powers, my sensitivity and even my title at time, I didn't want that, any of it, as we went over this. But as a result my friendship with Tru was straining and the one with Darra started deepening. And as did the one I had with the four of you and your own mentors, Master. But the bring balance was the key here, it's not just the force, or balance out both sides: the good and bad."
"I have to combine both sides of myself back together." he said and Obi-wan covered his eyes at that news then. "In other words, it's time you returned home, so you could check on your mother. Especially if she is married now like you just said here, as you combine that side of you, before I found you. And to the you I watched grow up into who you are right now, I understand, Anakin."
"And you're to turn into who we want, but you're right to balance the good and the bad, it's you also got to balance out the old you and the new you." he said and Anakin nodded as he went further at that remark gently at the remark then. "But there are things we could talk about to each other, and with my being the one. Now who was growing up the real world it only made more sense here."
"That the masters focused more on me then him right now, it was matter, of dealing in emotional therapy anf you had a right to bring in the duo too. Now as, of my finally telling you about this after Jabitha and the Carver, followed by Krayne. Why should I tell them something this personal, when to a Jedi privacy is very valued, highly valued and secondly is the fact now, that my therapy."
"And with you and the council is beyond private, I know this, I'm very strong in the force, but most of all, most of al I can sense deception. We've been decieved by a lie, we all were, but now it's time to acept and deal with it now. You taught me well, a politician like him, I can never trust, but Padme, Bail, Mon. I can, and I will not let that stop me, now from doing the right thing here."
"But I can sense the deception in words right now, and our link covers this, what did you hear in my voice when you asked me that, you taught me well?" he asked and Obi-wan crossed his arms as he answered him. "Indeed, I taught you well clearly, but remember..." he started to say and Anakin rattled off the remark. "That Palpatine is a politician and he can not be trusted, he's good at manipulations."
"No doubts there, but then he almost had me, were it not for Father, you never lost me, you win, you never failed me, I almost failed you. But I snapped back in the end." he said and Obi-wan smiled as he answered him. " If he heard the sincerity of your words, you were being honest with me, but why need the force. And when spending several hours and up to a few weeks getting to know you."
"And Siri read the truth in your voice as well, like I did at the time as did Ry and Soara. We knew you were telling us the truth, you learned the true Jedi lesson, in Masters' words, which is..." he said and Anakin smiled as he read it out. "Trust in your partner and trust in the force." he said and the duo nodded gently to him to confirm that lesson as they gave a nod as she said for of them at that news.
"Bingo that's the true lesson here that we were trying to teach you, and yes he was lucky, but he was right, like you were, and you passed our test." Siri told him and he nodded as he looked between them. "Maybe, but if you told me this once, you told me this 100 times, but my sensitivity to the unifying force. That is and was not my strength, though the same could be said about them right now."
"And because Darra is living force, the trust was a matter, a severe matter to keep after unloading everything I wanted to say after 7 years of this now. I was happy and here's the result, I, in your eyes changed for the better. How can I diappoint you, I never could before so why would I do it now." he asked looking betweem them and they smiled and nodded as he went further at that gently.
"And as am I, if that's what Master calls it right now, but honestly why lie, never did before. But again, he clearly thought I never got the point to lesson and lied to you when you asked." he said and Obi-wan nodded as Siri said it for both of them as she looked into his eyes. "Yes and I knew you were telling us the truth so go ahead and say it, what was the point here?" she asked and he smiled at her.
As he answered her at that remark as he carefull thought it over and said it slowly then. "Trust your partner and trust in the force, competitiveness and anger have no point in this exercise." he said and she nodded. "Good very good, what else Anakin, you knew me since I told you the truth, I was working under cover, and with it we already told you this." she said and he nodded as he looked between them.
"He had his own strengths and weakness about him, that was for me to learn, but I merge with the strength. So merge with the strength in my case to him and vice versa, cover the weakness, the same now. Together we are stronger together, if we can set aside our differences and work as one. And I did learn the value of the Jedi lesson, I understand, very well, but in all honestly."
"So though I did this with him, repeatedly at the time, he refused to capitulate to me, until we hit the fact you guys were trapped in a dead end. And only then did he get it, but you know me, a Jedi never lies to his mentor. And yet he did, but he also said he understod the value of the lesson, like I did here. So though I told you the truth, he lied and he didn't learn the Jedi lesson at all, Masters."
"In fact he didn't learn anything." he said and Obi-wan nodded as he finished that as he crosed his arms then. "He was like Galen, we understand, and with the fact we were partnered up. Then I think he was deliberately ignoring the sincerity in your voice that day. But I think I better tell you this now, but during the situation over the Slams last year, he actually came up to me that night."
"And the focus of the conversation was you, Anakin, but same words you just described here right now. Before I let him have it, so to him what's the real reason for this, is he trying to prove to us you're dangerous. As unless it's to us, Winna or the council, you never talk about it?" he asked and Anakin nodded to him. "Yes, but what does he truly know of my personality traits right now."
"As you raised me, trained me since I was a youngling near 10, and with you the council, you knew from the second we truly got to know each other. That I could never lie to you right now as a result here, I never lied to you. And not once in 10 years now at the time, we fixed what went wrong. Our bond was deepening and you knew I was happy for the first time in years since now."
"But come on, does he honestly expect to get away with that right now, I mean I never lied to you, not once since you picked me. And a year early right now, but there's the point right now finally in this. Invite the master in, I told you my biggest fears right now, as a result and we're like this together now. Invited you in, I unloaded everything that needed to be said as things changed."
"But what didn't was the fact we grew even closer then ever, you four, Masters Damon, Windu, Adi and Tiana, Master Yoda. To you, I was making progress, I changed and to me you were all that mattered. But that fear, in my therapy, the fact that I finally said what had to be said. He's making it sound like I'm turning to the darkside, and I know he's twisting our conversations to Tru as well."
"That was my biggest fear, I have no clue what it means yet, at the moment here, good or bad in my eyes that year, I wasn't sure. And since we didn't have time to debate this after the undercover operation came to an end, I was traumatized as I had to do it. As I finally got a look at your lightsaber as a result and I've been wondering why there was near violet tone to your lightsaber."
"And ever since right now, that thought has been going through me ever since, but I was afraid to tell you why. Or why why does that always keep coming back, in every time I fight a red after Zan Arbor, but here it is. I have reason to believe that after Zan Arbor, he is afraid of me, they both are, but can they understand what it means to be in mourning and in recovery, I mean look at it."
"You all knew this at the amount of traumas that I had to deal with at the time. You were the only one that actually cared as I got older, stop hiding behind your emotions. Or it's going to destroy you, that's the problem you lost touch, the living force, but you know my condition. Healing emotionally, from a trauma, I could vent that information to you, but it's very clear, he is afraid of me.
"Because I wanted to be void of feeling until I was ready to open up at the time, I was in stage one grief, before Zan Arbor did stage 2. As I finally said what had to be said at the time that month." he said to the duo then and Obi-wan nodded in understanding to that. "We get why, but Siri's lightsaber is the same one she had since we were younglings no older then 15, but the color meaning."
"It means more then you know and we can explain that later, but certain lightsaber color. In match ups create a more powerful warrior, but the ones in red are so strong. That they become lone wolves, in training, if you allowed your fears to go through. And let them go, the crystals you chose would have turned amethyst, as a result, to a light purple, she's hot pink near violet, one shade."
"And as one near violet to another in a lighter shade of violet now, if we were on Melida/Daan. And as she gave you the strength and just to keep fighting that heart clenching fear of whatever you saw in that image when on Ilum. And after this ended as you told us the truth in what you saw in that image this time. As that fear and everything else, as we also. taught you in how to control that."
"And as your lightsaber color switched colors, from blue to red to purple that month. And the three of us and Adi worked out what needed to be changed and where at the time. But issues in this are something they can not understand, either of them right now, because you're like us. You spent years scoring the galaxy now, fighting corruption and a dozen other things over the years."
"But I chose you, a year early so we could stay together, you are my brother, I love you, I chose you. So if we fixed that original situation. and when we met at the time, we'd be like this together at the moment. And everything I never had to tell you, you already know and you started a year early. And during the weeks leading Zomona Sekot, but that's why he's jealous, steady mentor."
"You were a year early as I chose you, before the mission to Sekot at the time now. Ferus was two years late in honesty, and also and in truth here, he wanted another unifying as his mentor. But the added problem here is that he wanted me as his mentor all this time. But I know Adi is going to say this the way you phrase it now at the moment." he told him and Anakin nodded to him gently.
"And then there's the fact you met my friends, Hekula was the middle name of Semta." he said and the trio nodded. "So Ratts children were attempting to free their sister, you did it once you can do it again. And by freeing another slave as this gave the slaves on your planet even more hope now. And now that you took care Krayne, but that was no murder, it was self defense, we seen it before."
"Zan Arbor pulled the same stunt when we, the quartet, went to arrest her at the time, it was freedom or everyone on Belasco dies. Before Qui-Gon took charge, cut her fingers off and then cut the drapery right behind here. Self defense, not murder and you did it yourself?" Ry' asked and he nodded to him. "Well that we can understand now." Siri said and he nodded in agreement.
"As I said that a new day for a slave is another day to die, that our owners can get angry for our failing them and pull the trigger. I know and knew that Sebulba had a severe disregard for slaves, we're people, but to him we're property. Could be five years, ten years of freedom and to him it's like I'm still a slave, as for Ferus, why tell him, he grew up in the temple not out there.
"Said out there, the outside world, you I can trust not to do that, when in concern you tell the duo what you feel. And pass on my emotions over thr situation to them, they understand. Why tell him, when he doesn't understand my life, no one did till you saw it with Krayne you two, but that's what I really meant you understand, but I understand you better then he does, Master."
"Reason being is you're me at going on 35, if the plan is good..." he said and Obi-wan nodded as he completed his sentence and the council exchanged smiles then. "If your plan is good, no reason to abandon it, and in truth, now, and why. Well the reason is that you're in my place, and I'm in his, I get the point. But you understand things about me he never could now, always it's tempting to act."
"But often wiser to wait, we got a connection he doesn't understand." He said and Anakin nodded to that remark as he answered. "Doesn't work like that, each team was always two of one kind and one of the other. But it's supposed to be like that, as the next generation business, we are you now. But we have different personalities and at times we clash, that's normal, as it reminds you."
"And of your own apprenticeship, it's that simple, but I have you to guide me in the right direction. And vice versa, but at this rate, now that we caught this, it's over, still me, though 19. And for the record, I think you may have to pretend you're a non force, so you can get some of this stuff at the moment. And with that, that's the problem, he can't capitulate to the other side now too.'
"And no matter the debate, I started early from the time you met me, my Jedi mission, whether we knew it or not. That it was Padme and the blockade, that brought us together, our Zabrak brought us together. Keeping a promise maybe, but never mind that, our bond developed out of both of those. But you know me better then anyone now you two." he said and the duo nodded as he went further.
As he crossed his arms then firmly at that. "What does he know of your personality, as my activation mission as a young Jedi started the day. That you crash landed on my planet as I got to work in helping you get the parts. That were needed to fix the ship, as you quickly lrarned I'm a mechanic as I was working. As you got the handle on the fact I was also a pilot, a force sensirive one no less."
"And 2) by my destroying the blockade, we just met and soon after the cremation, and I felt it at the same time you saw it. And Father went into the force, I spent the next two years getting to know you, before you chose me. So that's why he's trying to catch your attention, when I'm this close to Siri. But it's because she, like me, has a living force connection, he's unifying force."
"But the way we have it now is the way it should be, but Darra is a mixture of both in Soara's case. Damon is a unifying, Soara a living force, but generation three have to be a mixture or both. That's the way it should as we learn both sides of the force in training as it's paired off. But the connection is paired off, one side is unifying, the other living that's the way it's supposed to be.
"Father made it clear, though strong in either side of the force, you still have much to learn. And on the opposite, but in reverse, I'm very strong in the living force, but have much to learn. And on the unifying, as a result, that's why I'm partnered with you, and vice versa with me. So new generation, and we're you and father, now in this case, but just as the next generation, now."
"But like Master said, different personalities, and at times we clash." he said and Siri chuckled at the remark. "Yes, and that is why the force lead me right to you, I was meant to be the one to find you and train you since we met now. You're my brother, I'm not losing you, to our enemies, but honestly. Just how can he understand that exactly." Obi-wan said to him smiling then as Anakin answered him.
"All he knows is you're strong in the unifying force and a very strong knight, but does he know a thing of your past aside from the fact you are the student of the great Qui-Gon Jinn. But 1) you left the order for a few months and stopped an ongoing war, during the clean up, 2) You saw your best friend die in front of you. 3) on the return, stage 2 kicks in as you learn, in the same way I do
as you learn what the trio cause. As you suffer years of guilt from this and as you get put on trial for this as we learn the diplomatic name for un-named agents in the senate, as a result here. The truth comes out for his family as they refuse to believe he turned to the darkside and turned into a dark Jedi. While you're trying to save Bant from drowning, at the time, you're in a fight too."
"Said fight is to the death, so though they have a very high tolerance for being under water, we don't know the limit as you blame yourself. And which is when I come into the picture as I meet his family now, I learn what the force happened as you explain everything to me now, as a result. 4) like me, you also get traumatized by the Sith and the holocrons, after meeting Lundi now."
"And 5) you know my past better then anyone, as it brings your team quartet into it now finally in that. As you see the maniac that attacked my space port, at the time and learned the truth. And as you then learn the mother of a friend was killed by him, as a result, that's the piece, we can't forget. As Jedi, though we forgive,we can never forget now, kiling in cold blood is not the Jedi way."
"That's what I really meant, unless you see the type of cruelty that someone like this does to a person who has to follow orders, a slave. You can never understand, to be free I had to, they can never be free until this raider is gone for good." he said and they both nodded to him gently. "Fast question if Qui-Gon survived, then how would you handle it if we gone back and this time now."
"Adi was the one that got hurt and kidnapped?" Siri asked and he looked at her as she saw the love in his eyes towards her. "If they asked me to help, I would take it to you and Mother first, and tell you that this is getting to me. Before we decided to take it to Mace and the council, we give them a fighting chance. But my place is with you, my Jedi family, I have a home and cause to believe in."
"A life, family, friends and planet, a cause, everything that is forcing me to stay there I have it already as digging through my pocket. As I get the crystals you gave me out, seeing them, that helps me find my center again. As one last mission, but I get stuck, I am not asking to be taken back. But to be given probation, the time taken make time and even then will never be the same."
"I understand that, but what was damaged can be fixed and made even more invaluable as it was once broken." he said and she smiled and pressed her forehead to his and he closed his eyes as he hugged her. "There you see, you understand the value of patience, it will take time to fix. But we'll get there, but you show and demonstrate a maturity he doesn't understand in growing up in the temple."
"That was a test that the council wanted to double check after Obi-wan had to deal with it, but this is why our teams are held. And under such high esteem by the council right now, we see this easily and one change. You changed for the better now in everything that has happened since Zan Arbor came back into it. But regarding your facing your past now, we understand it now finally."
"Until I saw for myself what you had to deal with, but we as the students of the Jedi council understand now." Siri said firmly to that to that remark and he nodded to her. "Yeah, I was meant to be your padawan, unknowing or not, you were the ones meant to train me here. One as my real mentor, the other meant to train me as a Master guardian, this was the Point now." he said and they nodded to him.
As they got it then gently the news as he went on further. "I wasn't sure what mode I went into until after I came out of it, but for a padawan, to just come out of lightsaber training. As the first kill, and with any weapon, is beyond traumatizing, does he understand this. All he knows is the peace of life in the temple, while I see the corruption and cruelty and all over the galaxy."
"So what does he know of the code, outside the temple until he's in the field, you spent eight months in the field, I was raised in the field. So if anyone deserved to have anyone as a padawan, it was you to me now." he said and Obi-wan nodded firmly. "Yes alright freeze it, and you are absolutely correct Anakin, you spent years living in the real world, he spent 8 months in the field now, as a result."
"If anyone deserved having anyone as a padawan it's him to you, you shared a bond he doesn't have with Ferus. 10 centuries and the rules were built up, the code built up in one way two living to one unifying or vice versa, it's always been like that." Mace said and he nodded as Obi-wan answered him. "And that is why he was not meant to be my padawan, only a living force Jedi could see the connection between us now."
"You knew everything within weeks of meeting her as a result, you love her like big sister. But you were the one who figured it out first now you knew our own secret Anakin. From the second you met her, you know the truth, past events between us, seven years before I find you. Why we both had a very serious wariness against politicians, as a result of Belasco and S'orn now here."
"As a result." he said and Anakin nodded smiling to him. "Yeah I know, the first is because Sorn, you both realized she was a criminal. And said was involved in kidnapping father, as she was blackmailed by Zan Arbor. And 2) your last mission, you love her and her you, and if things had been different. She would be your wife and my sister-in-law." he said and she nodded smiling at that to him.
As Obi-wan smiled at him. "And what does he know of love or friendship exactly anyway, either of them in fact, you said it yourself now Anakin. All they know is the code, life in the temple, but we share one thing they do not understand. But you're me as child when I met you, I was a lot like you when as a teenager. At the time, no older then you, but I spent a few months in the outside world."
"I learn what it means to be normal, now, finally, and in the worst way possible, you were meant to be my student now, because you grew up in the real world. I spent months in the real world, the partnership was correct now." he said and he nodded in agreement to that remark then. "And that is why he is not your student, we spent several years together getting to know each other now here."
"He barely knows you, I knew you better than ever, everything and I mean everything. We share the same pain at the loss of father, we both spent a few months in the real world, in mine, I grew up in it. And finally and most importantly, we saw how dangerous the Nightbrothers are. But that is what our Zabrak was: a Dathomirian Nightbrother, and one studying heavily in it too."
"Is we know how dangerous the Sith and their followers are, but come on, honestly, what key do they always use here and what the holocrons do. And to a person's psyche now, but come on, this is as dangerous as it gets, dark Jedi, Jedi want to be's, or worse, Sithlords. We been fighting the Sith so long, that you got to control that trio and fast, before they bring you to the brink."
"But there is a simple matter to this that no one, but you and me know, Omega is the son of Xanatos. And Xanatos used this to try and kill Master, it's that simple, it's the formula, we caught it just in time, but think about it now. But demoralization, disruption, we have two, disruption and demoralization. But that leaves the last, my demoralization is losing someone I love right now."
"And the destraction with it comes our mandate with Padme and both of these at the moment. And combined with disruption in you getting a chance to know me resulted in the destruction of the Jedi. And the republic, Obi-wan: Disruption, demoralization, distraction." he said and Obi-wan nodded. "All three equals devastation, Xanatos." he said and Anakin nodded to him then.
"And the last of it is the big one and Darra is part of it, as is Padme and mom, that's what I had to talk about. Just after Zan Arbor came into the picture only you understand that fear. And with you, Masters Windu and Adi, as well as Siri, just what are my premonitions supposed to tell me. But the fact that I'm growing so powerful that I'm going to match Master Windu soon enough."
"And in powers and with him, you and Master Yoda." he said and they both nodded firmly then. "And soon enough surpass me, but don't be afraid of that, you're not going to lose me because you're stronger then I am, or we are. You were already stronger then we are, because of that prophecy, but just because. And I mean this now, you are, it doesn't mean you need to carry that burden alone."
"And it doesn't mean things are going to change between us, we're not letting you go, anymore then you want to let us go. We just got to control that fear and the Sith, they're not going to be able to touch you after this. But you and I are both training to join the council, if I'm part of the council. In time, three years down the road from now later." Obi-wan said and he nodded as she added on to it,
And as she looked at him gently as she said it to him. "Yes and we all knew this about you, but that title you gained, was not your fault, you gained a reputation. And by infamy, to all the slaves you were a hero, to every Jedi not like me, you were a murderer, but not, you did what had to be done. To save us and yourself, but that is what a master guardian does, goes deep into that darkness."
"But without crossing entirely now baby." Siri said and he nodded as Obi-wan finished that as he looked into his eyes at that. Looking into her eyes, he felt a jolt of love as he never heard her call him that before. And as he hid a smile to that remark, as she looked into his eyes smiling gently at that. "Issues in finding new family members, I know we considered each other brother and sister here."
"But that's the first time you ever called me that." he said and she smiled at him, as she pulled him into a hug and he closed his eyes as he tightened his arms around her, before she let go as he looked between them at that. "You grew up a non force sensitive and we're all human, five stages of grief, you were in denial as well. But the code prevents us from saying what we want to say at time now."
"And at the fact Yaddle was gone, as was I, but together Zan Arbor gave us stage two, and we fixed the gap between us in tightening our bonds. Stages three and four were the previous two situations and we just hit acceptance at the fact that yes we're Jedi. But we're not infallible, we're only human." Obi-wan said and Anakin nodded as he went further, looking into his eyes at that remark.
And then gently said it at that remark as he looked between the duo then at that. "Anyone catch the memo in this at the moment, that these fears and traumas are only discussed between the patient. If we were on the planet this came from and the mental healer would say this as well at the moment. I was already wracked up mentally and emotionally from the carver and Krayne. Nobody talk about it right now and give me time blast it, I'll get over these traumas."
"But you had to give me time right now, so far I never lost anyone I loved, leading into Yaddle. But that's not true, first Halla and then Qui-Gon, the pain is still there and made worse. At the fact my premonitions cost me another loved one, I needed time, but I was stuck in that void. That's in the woods of the people these came from, a vaccuum until I was ready to start healing."
"But only between the patient, true friends and a mentor if they have one at the time. Their family and the psychiatrist, said being you two, Master Adi and Master Windu and finally the entire council. As from here, I spent the last 18 months studying things that involve this situation right now. But they pulled a stunt that can get them thrown out of the order, at the moment here."
"I am trying to protect the team and that protect is by us just ending the mision now, but I let my emotions get in the way, it could get me kicked out. Not going to happen, I have to focus, my emotions serve me well, right now. But honestly, it's I have to bury them deep down and before our Sith tries to use them against me, but honestly these things tend to get worse every time, right now."
"But right now, am I red, or am I blue, I don't know and frankly that scares me right now, as to why. It's a matter of dealing with a fear that I have to control and said is always fighting a red, and I'm carrying blue, when the character is as dangerous. And as our alter ego at the moment, but that's exactly the problem guys, as to why exactly right now, truthfully I had to tel you this."
"First the blood carver and now Krayne, do they even understand what it's like here, they never had to take a life. They never had to live with the fear of losing someone they love and they never had to live with the fear. That fear that every time they see red and blue, every time they go into batlw. Now, they're scared out of their minds that one could overwhelm the other and destroy them."
"But still learning to equal it out, because of you." he asked looking between them softly and they nodded gently as Obi-wan said it for all of them sternly as he rested his hands on his shoulders. "Your therapy sessions are none of their business padawan, and frankly this fear we get right now, who did you see. When you did your lightsaber though exactly if you've been afraid ever since that day now."
"When you saw her lightsaber?" Obi-wan asked and he said it then. "I saw the Sith that killed father, first I saw you and then you morphed into him. And following that is that I saw the blade laser in red, and when I activated it for real, I saw blue." he said and they all nodded firmly as she answered him. "Like I said, you're a master guardian, but you're training to control the evil in your heart."
"And yet you're a guardian, I'm there giving you the strength to fight and keep fighting, and Master is there. And is showing you the light, said light at the end of the tunnel, Master Windu is just like you. But there is no need to be afraid, just equal the red with the blue and you become purple now baby." she said and he nodded with a smile at her as Obi-wan finished that remark.
"That we can understand and you are correct, privacy over something like this is valued between us when in recovery emotionally from a trauma, Anakin. But until you're ready to open up, just leave you be as you tell us or the council with Thracia leaving the order. You grew up outside the temple, this is something they can not understand, you were in mourning at the time it happened."
"You needed time and until you were ready to open up to them, them or anyone outside of my generation and Father's, you could tell us. But to us and you, your peers, but leave you be, your last trauma, when Daiv captured you. And triggered it to happen, that was never your fault either at the time. He pressed the wrong buttons and killed himself by using you to do it, I saw that."
"I knew you needed time to recover, Krayne the very same thing, but now seeing Yaddle. As she was being killed in front of you, it comes down to one thing, these things need a release valve safely. Was this why you invited in the zone of self containment, to be void of feeling until you were ready to unload your anger at Yaddle's loss?" he asked and Anakin nodded to him gently at that.
"Yes Master it was, but in truth I resented them for treating me like this, I can't help I'm this powerful, but once, just once wish I was like you. I hate being this powerful, this sensitive, can they understand that." he said and Obi-wan nodded to him gently. "We understand that, but that was the meaning to what we really meant by inviting the master in, you unloading your emotions to us
over the fact you hate being this powerful. This sensitive to the force, but pulling it over to the fact I told you to wait for me, I had to prevent whoever his sithlord companion was. From getting his hands on you, after one too many close calls and we're on the Sith home planet, so better safe then sorry. You and I both know how dangerous this is, your first encounter, with the Sith."
"Is and was the Zabrak that killed Qui-Gon, we know the danger, but Sithlords are our speciality, but right now. We're meeting him on our own terms and not his, as we worked this out. But I gave orders for you to wait and stay with me, that's the truth, they want to stretch the truth. It only shows more that they don't have what it takes." he said and Soara nodded in agreement firmly to that.
"Master, ever since Zan Arbor, I had him prying into my personal thoughts, and even when Sebulba came back into the picture. I saw him watching, waiting for me to lose it completely, does he even understand that there are things I don't want him to know. But I can tell you, but every time I try to, I catch him eavesdropping on us to over hear it?" he said and the trio nodded sternly to that.
"But I think the reason is he knows as long as he's around I never tell you this, but I warned him, I'd also be watching and in the first infraction. Say not telling you or the duo that a lightsaber was broken or his not telling you after he fixed it. I was telling you that myself, as your apprentice, and co apprentice in the case of you three." he said and Obi-wan nodded in understanding to that news.
As he crossed his arms. "And that just what we needed to hear, he gave a threat of training interference and is eavesdropping to prevent it from coming out. Before he committed an act that would get them both expelled and the one that came forward. Is you, my own apprentice, there's the you I know, you would never do it. Would never hold back something that serious."
"He does, but at times the arrogance reaches the point to where they think they can instruct just as well as we could. But just because he's older then you, doesn't give him the right to try and train you, I am your mentor, Anakin. You are my padawan, not his, and I'm just adding this to the censure, if one of you gets shot or worse." he said and Anakin nodded to him. as he gave him a hug.
And the older man tightened his arms around him. "I was going to tell you this anyway, if I ever did have children, then you would be it their godfather. My best friend and brother and Siri, you two were their godparents, Soara and Ry, their adoptive aunt and uncle." he said and they nodded in delight at the news. "We appreciate that Anakin, thank you." Obi-wan said smiling at him then gently then.
"Who's the mother if you did get to see her again?" Soara asked and he smiled. "That image pretty much says it all Sis, she's my wife, but I think in 8 to 10 months. Sidious's plan was to have us as her bodyguards, fatal mistake here now in that. Sidious knows, like we do, I were to have children they would be a threat to him, so four years sooner then normal, you win brother, in fact."
"The Jedi reign supreme, yet again, because now that I know what the prophecy really means and my color, Mace's. Is very rare, this war that is coming, between us and him fighting three cases of good verse evil. And two are mixed, with his total equal ready to take him if necessary. 10 more years and my powers will dwarf his now, finally." he said and Obi-wan nodded in relief.
"There's the you I know, but if everyone, but us and Master, are to go underground, we must not expose ourselves or we got whatever his plan is. Ready and waiting to catch us with the gun out, or lightsaber in our hands, so low profile." he said and Anakin nodded. "Agreed, until the time is right, for now, we head home, you get to know my family and we can use our powers only."
"But not our lightsabers." he said and Obi-wan nodded. "Yes to protect my godson, it's just the added skills we can use, but not our lightsabers, not directly." he said and sighed as he looked at him and said it then. "I don't believe this, did they not look at the fact if Master not contacted us in time. That you would be trapped as a slave for another 25 years." he said and he shook his head sadly then.
"Had you never gotten that message and Darra was it even before it came?" Siri asked him and he nodded smiling as he said looked between them gently at that. "Yes that's it exactly, that's the reason she was acting like she belonged to me. She made her choice, said choice is me, but she made it clear that his threat. To me, it lost points with her, she doesn't want her man to be too good to be true."
"But have a flaw or 2, well as a result, I'm it now." he told her and she chuckled at that. "So you're my little brother now." Soara said and he nodded. "I got the point of what she really meant when you were training me as well, key point there. If I don't release the impatience and anger, I will never learn anything. And be who I am meant to be now, well that changed after Zan Arbor now finally."
"Well I did now, I'm letting go of the past and focusing on the present now." he told her and she smiled proudly and nodded to the news he just gave her then as she said it. "Darra come here for a sec." Soara called out and she walked into the room then. "What is it, Master?" she asked and Obi-wan explained that. "I heard the hard tone in your voice earlier, it's not what you think, if I had the time, now."
"And as I was in a rush, I would have ordered we split the teams in half, you and Soara with me and Anakin, Ferus and Tru together." he said and she nodded as Anakin pressed his forehead to her's to confirm his remark. Pulling back, she smiled and pressed her forehead to his as she hugged him as he pulled something. And from his pocket then and clipped it around her neck and she smiled ad she hugged him tightly.
'You're forgiven, all we need now is timing and luck.' they heard and then heard a gentle smile in his voice as he answered that. 'Why need luck, as long as we're together, we'll make it out of this okay, like always. Stronger together.' they heard in response as the duo exchanged smiles at the way they were together. 'Stronger together always.' she said softly as he said it out loud gently as he looked at them.
"Darra, remember we made it clear, we'd be watching and if he slips up, so severely one of us gets shot or worse, his career is ours?" he asked and she nodded. "We reached it now, I caught him fixing Tru's lightsaber, but they broke the code. And by not telling the quartet the repairs may not hold up, he also saw no reason to tell them now that he had" he told her and she nodded firmly to him.
"Ideas Anakin, because we have to make it clear now." she asked and he nodded as he answered her. "I set him up for failure, I checked something on lightsaber lore, this is what I found, guys. You knew this from the second I created mine, but as the mechanic, of the team our age group or our own future padawans kept coming to me for repair work on there, and I started carrying the manual."
"But if there is anything dangerous than a faulty lightsaber it's our pride right now." he said passing the manual to Ry' and he read it out loud as he saw what he caused just in time. "I'm lucky you're a mechanic, you caught this, before he tries it, this crossed a line, as even a small flaw in the crystal. Even that can affect us at the moment, listen to this ladies, Obi-wan, but this was the key point."
"And he underlined this several times. 'Lightsaber safety, important: if lightsaber still drops below 65, check the flux aperture and crystal.For is there is a flaw in the crystal it can cause the power relay to drop without warning. And needs further work done on it, before use, but if lightsaber is recharged. Check the crystal and flux aperture to insure repairs will held up.'."
"So I'll give you two guess, but you're only going to need one girls." he read out and nodded. "They never dismantled the thing entirely to check, but it goes now, and one of us could be killed!" Soara said with a stern growl and he nodded. "That's why I had to tell you this, their pride could destroy the entire team." Anakin told her and she nodded with a gentle smile of pride at him as she said it then.
