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 59: Jedi Quests And Young Jedi Knights XVI: The New Interview
And threw it into the air as Anakin waited as the outline suddenly appeared to him and it fired off as he blocked the shot, before it went off a second time. and he swung blocked it a second time as as it started speeding up as he dodged and ducked with grace. His jumps to meet them highest ever as he waited no time in deflecting every shot. That was aimed at him as the council nodded in amazement at how good he was then.
'Oh my, I can see that the increased count has made him beyond good, that he's going to excell in every class during his training and get chosen and before he turns thirteen.' Ki Adi Mundi said as he exchanged looks with Mace and Yoda and they nodded. 'As do we, but if there is a danger we must protect him if our enemy returned again. Adi, Damon and I are making a trip to Tatooine after we get him settled in now.'
'And here at the time right now, if something happens to Qui, we're telling her we're keeping his promise to take care of and look after him now. But with him this good, it's better we prevent whoever our mysterious attacker is from trying it. From getting his hands on him, if both the Sith and the nightsisters and brothers are back.' Mace said and he hid a nod as they watched him practice then.
'I think Qui and Obi-wan's nudge in his skills just unlocked the door right now, because none of our other students, his age. They can't go 20 minutes without missing a shot and open themselves up to the force this easily. Or keep the shot from hitting anyone of us or the younglings by accident." Kolar said, thought just as he finished saying that, the next one was aimed at Yoda and he reacted then.
But Anakin was faster and he swung and knocked it to other side of the room and they nodded. 'Got the heart of a guardian and the skills, but he's definitely a Master Guardian in training, Mace.' Adi said and he nodded. 'Then we train him to equalize it as he gets older, he's going to do fine, best call it though.' he said and she nodded. "Alright that's good, stay your hand." Adi said and he nodded just as he was ready.
He froze and then blocked three shots and swung behind him to block the fourth and jumped over a fifth and they smiled at that. As it stopped finally at that remark and he pushed his goggles up then and they nodded. "Nicely done that was really good, I see I was correct, your added count shows that it increases you ability to go instinct. As for agility now, that is the next test now, but this one is a test of patience and agility."
"Damon." he said and Damon nodded to him. "Anakin, I need you to relax and just focus on my words now, close your eyes." he said and Anakin went into meditation as Damon said it gently then . "Listen to the wall, nothing is solid, the hardest wall is just a connection of particles. Find the spaces between the particles and the wall will yield, it will push you off." he said as he said it softly a second time then to him as the waited.
"Listen to the wall and hear the wind through the gaps." he said and Anakin relaxed completely, as he heard the wind change as he then heard the howl of it. But he also heard a whisper, he heard the stir of pebbles, of a piece of trash in the wind. And then saw it, as he saw the spaces and knew it would yield to him as he ran at the wall. And up it and then pushed as it springed back against his boots propelling him backwards.
As he landed nimbly on his feet, before he opened his eyes and they smiled. "Nicely done padawan, that was good, alright one last test. Memory recall, we need to test your inner eye." Thracia said and he nodded as Mace held up the screen as he had it turned away from him as he started each one as it shot through him. "A Bantha, a T-95 hyperdrive converter, a proton blaster, a republican cruiser, a Rodian cup, a Corellian YT-1,200."
"A hutt speeder." he said, naming them one after the other as the images shot through his mind then. "Alright now, one last question, if you got paired off with a padawan who never activated passed the correct dates for the choosing ceremony. And you were on security duty, say at the intergalactic games, and a fight broke out. What do you do, if it involves your home planet and old friends?" Thracia asked him gently and he nodded.
"Sight sensory perception?" he asked and they nodded. "Hearing the language of the fight, I quickly check on what the fight would be about. Calling out in our language of Huttese, our local tongue, that would stop the fight immediately. But pass my lightsaber to Obi-wan and then check the surrounding area as I see a few vehicles only I know. Translating what the group is arguing about, I would than ask if they need help."
"But the padawan teamed up with me trying to stop it by using force as well, if the weapons are ready to come out and he's ready to as well I grab his wrist to stop him. I know one thing if I heard someone shout my surname, it meant they were waiting. And for me to reveal myself finally here, as they chose the only way possible. As we all know I did it all the time between us and Sebulba, who was our rival in the circuit as well."
"They chose the one way possible to get my attention as they know though new haircuit and a lightsaber on my belt, I'm still me. Hearing both sides of the fight, I smooth things over, as I then explain the point of the lesson. As I reunite with some old friends, if Jabba is there I introduce the quartet, or quintet to him and smooth things over. And between us and Jabba before it gets him arrested by Tatooine." he explained and they nodded.
"So what is the lesson and point to this exercise?" she asked and he smiled. "Time passes and it teaches, you are still young, you have much to see and much to experience. Do not hurry the knowledge that you seek, for that knowledge takes it's own time. This was a test of the living force, and why need to use force when you can open to the force. Words are just as good a weapon as wielding a real weapon and with it right now."
"Never just assume, you have to mind your surroundings." he said then and they nodded smiling. "Looking at this carefully, you just proved it, patience, no anger, honesty, you show the heart of a Jedi, but your future to us is crystal clear. But your starter training mission is you're with the duo during the return to Naboo. But you will be trained, and in advance you are part of their team." Mace told him and he nodded softly to him then.
As he bowed to him, before he said it. "I never lied to my mother before or my friends parents and it will the same for you and Obi-wan, I promise, Master. I don't know once I start training, but promised my mother I would free her from slavery. If Master told you this already, my one way out was by racing for my freedom, my former owner. Gambled his entire live savings away by doing that with Master, he was betting on my rival."
"A dug by the name of Sebulba, I'm not entirely sure, but this was supposed to be a strict lesson on playing cleanly. My design had the tendency to flood the engines with the fuel, not knowing I was force sensitive, I just gave myself a handicap. So with that, if you ever need someone to translate things, regarding things in the circuit. And the language and my planet I can do that, my other expertise is mechanics, repairs on weapons."
"I can help the temple engineer in repair work if you need me to, gather parts for the temple mechanics division too." he said and they nodded gently. "Thank you for telling us that and we appreciate the offer, but before you put it to the test now. We need you to get used to using your powers all the time, certain things are things. That you will learn in time, and about your team, but for now it's adjustment, but under direct opinion now."
"What is your exact wish, as there was a possibility of a prophesied chosen one." Adi asked and he explained that to her. "If I am that chosen one, I want to be treated like the others in my clan Master, no special treatment. Mom would only say this anyway, but I don't need my title or my skills thrown at me every time I turn around." he said and she nodded, looking into his eyes she felt a stir of maternal love in her at that remark.
"Agreed, I agree with that thought as well you're good we all see this, but what you don't need is your powers and title thrown at you every time you turn around. But we made our decision, you will be trained, was Obi-wan giving you some tips as he was with you?" she asked and he nodded. "Yes Master and I couldn't ask for a better tutor, our bond is deepening every minute, he's like the big brother I always wanted now finally."
"But this will work out now, I swear that if I start training I will let you know if someone in my training clan, specifically my new team quartet. Is about to pull a dangerous stunt immediately, going by what I know and this is your opinion over the lightsabers. But if that lightsaber is damaged or worse, it could put the entire team at risk. I would never lie to you or to the quartet on something that serious, I never did before you started me."
"Why would I do it now?" he asked and they nodded as that did it then. "Just hearing the sincerity in your words is enough to tell us you would never do something that cruel. Just to prove whoever it is, is not as noble as they make themselves out to be. But we all agree with that, but like you told the quartet everything, start doing the same with us. But we just came to our decision now in your training and you will be trained."
"That lightsaber, it belongs to you now, till you create the real one." Mace said, levitating the training lightsaber to him and he gripped it in clipped it to his belt then. "Master we need to make one more adjustment, as he is the first of our new recruits. And with a family of his own, for his sake and concentration at the moment. As Damon, Nejaa, Thracia and I have families of our own, he's got a life outside the temple still."
"But he gained lessons his peers haven't yet from growing up in the temple, so I think it is best that he is allowed to keep in touch and see his mother and friends on Tatooine. To keep the inner balance in check, he must exercise both sides of him equally now. Part of being a Master guardian or a grey Jedi is complete balance to stay strong." Ki Adi Mundi said and Anakin thought over the remark as he looked between them at that.
"Master if you don't mind my asking what did the prophecy say about this chosen one?" he asked and Adi answered that. "That they would destroy the Sith and bring balance to the force." she said and he nodded. "How long has the force been out of balance since the last war between us and them, the darkside disciples?" he asked and Mace answered that. "If this means what I think 800 years." he said and Anakin nodded as he said it.
"There's the definition, bring balance, the balance has been out of whack, since we wiped out the Sith leaving only one alive. They created a rule of two since then, but our Sith is hiding in plain sight, the chosen one is meant to either become one, or clone a copy. And the dark times are about to fall, this conflict with the federation will never end. Until it puts the diplomacy into a dictatorship and even my clan now, if I am the chosen one."
"Is part of that definition now, I am meant to change the code and in my side of the male bloodline, to create the first ever Jedi dynasty. So which could mean I, if I am right, am appointed as one of you, the council. So we equal them in numbers, as the following 36 years, the peace shifts to strife. And as for them, it's that we wiped them out and now it's their turn." he said and they nodded as they exchanged looks at the definition to it.
"We never saw that coming, but if you are correct, then you are the true chosen one, your family was meant to part of the council when in your prime. Alright, as it is, if you were meant to change the code we take it slow and hide that fact from everyone else. But you will be trained, I vote that the code be changed, and we prepare for when their mysterious attacker reveals himself to us." Adi said and Mace nodded in agreement.
"I second that." he said and Oppo nodded as the 9 nodded in agreement. "All in favor to have the code changed, and we prepare when they reveal themselves?" Kolar asked and they nodded. "Then the vote is unanimous." Mace said and Yoda finished that. "Changed the code will and prepare for when our un named assailant reveals himself to us, we will. Welcome to the Jedi order, Padawan Skywalker." he said and Anakin bowed to him gently.
"Master I have an idea of how we can handle this, but what would happen if my next sensory perception test was destroying the control ship of the federation?" he asked and Mace smiled as he got the idea. "The power blast would hit every force sensitive in the galaxy as whoever said that remark to you has a double meaning. As it's not just them, but the mentor of the Zabrak that attacked you, double agent style son, is that it."
"Fake being his surrogate son, whoever it might be, and then once he reveals himself to you, you turn it into us immediately?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "Start me this young and we got him on the run, you got to me first, you and Obi-wan. I am your apprentice, both ways, Ben's my big brother, but I have no father. So that lays in your hands, like it did in Will and Jayden's until mom gets married." he said and the council nodded firmly.
"I'd hate to be our Zabrak's mentor, if he was the apprentice, when he realizes he's been had by us all this time, because facing the evil in our souls is a key point in being a Jedi. But you are part of the order as we wait for whoever it is to say that remark to you, and then reveals himself to you, before you turn him into us. Sifo Dyas, can you run the order, the very last batch of clones are meant to have the kill switch in them."
"My prize pupil in the ways of being a master guardian is being trained this early in how to escape detection as we played them for fools. Head off their plans as Anakin finishes off Qui-Gon's decisions for him, but we got a lot of work to do, from today and forward. Padawan Skywalker, you are hereby being trained as a member of the Master guardians, as we search for the identity of your and Master Qui-Gon's mysterious attacker."
"But this is very dangerous time for you, as we start this, but remember, the older you get and the more traumatic your life gets. Just enjoy these years while you got chance to, but the burden of your title gets worse as you get older. So if you need to talk about it, that's fine." he said and Anakin nodded. "There's the catch my quartet won't get, that I prefer to talk about this with an adult only, patient/therapist confidentiality catch."
"I grew up normal, my traumas are talked about only with you, like something happens to one of you and something causes it to switch stages. But the 5 stages of grief as I unload those emotion to one of you, Obi-wan and Siri. But what right do they have ignore my privacy and wishes of that until I'm ready to say it. Then just leave me be here, my parents would say the same, let it go, give me time." he said and their eyes softened.
And gently at that. "Good point and you're right, privacy, especially emotional privacy, is highly encouraged by the Jedi. But this stigma is serious enough that if they start talking about you behind your back, because you refuse to tell them too. Just tell us and we'll take charge, you need time to recover emotionally from whatever it is. Give you time and then wait for you to come to them, but leave you be." Damon said firmly to that remark.
"And we will, but for now, one thing at a time." Adi said sternly and Mace nodded. "Okay that should do it now, you see what making a one change does for us and the future of the order. Young man, just because he is skilled ways you are not, does not give you the right to treat him like this, that was an irresponsible decision. And one that not only kills her, but it wipes us out as the time." Mace said firmly and Anakin nodded sternly at that.
"By saying that, you signed your fates, I made my choice, but you turned your backs on me and then ripped my heart out by killing Darra. You understand now in why I hated you ever since this day you two, do you understand. I was giving up everything I had, the last and final piece was when I surpassed Ben in powers now. After that I lose everything now, but all you were thinking about was yourselves, you are not Jedi."
"A Jedi's first duty is a duty to the truth, be it scientifical, ethical or personal, and it is the founding principle on which the code is based. I committed to my team again and again, gave my wants for the greater good." he said as he wiped the tears off his face. "In your behaviors, the day you were expelled from the academy and ended your friendship. And with me, you both basically told me that, you don't want to come forward, that was it."
"So fine you both don't have a problem with lying to your own teachers or the council, do you honestly think they could trust you again if you lied to them." Anakin asked as Adi held up the exam sheet Qui-Gon left for her in training Ferus. "That's the thing about me, I never lied to Obi-wan, Adi or Siri before and to them, to me and to my parents. It was always why start now, it's always been like that and they know me to do the right thing."
"To come forward and we get a second chance, the duo or trio could wait, but the team and family came first, it always did, in our eyes. But if I did, just resign my commissions as a Jedi padawan and leave and when I'm this close to my trials. But don't make you pay for my guilty conscious." he said and they paled at that remark. "He's right, the safety of the team came first over this arrest." Obi-wan said to them gently, but sternly.
"I love you master." Anakin said softly and he gently nudged his head in response as he looked into his eyes. "I love you to Anakin, you're my brother, I love you, after everything we've gone through together, it's a matter of understanding things. But what this really comes down to is commitment to each other and to being a team. And with that in mind, after Zan Arbor, I was waiting for you to let go, remember this, brother."
"Remember, we had that talk, never doubt my commitment to you." he said and Anakin nodded as he pressed his forehead to Obi-wan as he answered him. "Nor mine to you, you're my teacher, my mentor, I love you, you are the closest thing I have to a father. I just feel like he's the nagging older brother that does not know when to take a hint. Darra, she means a lot to me, but I think your orders got taken the wrong way."
"She, after talking to the duo, possibly thinks I left them to investigate who the blazes it was that he was going to meet. But double agent, I had to make it seem as though I was leaving them to fend for themselves as I wait for him to make the call. But I'll be watching you, this is what I meant, and I just caught him in the act. His career is ours, if one of us gets shot because it shorts out." he said and the quartet nodded to that firmly.
"Like I said do you have parents, to make them proud of you, you would never want to disappoint them. I met him only once, but this time, this time, it's ten years together, he's my father now, do you understand me. I never lied to him or my mother, and to us, everyone of us, why start now blast it. You destroyed my family and the Jedi for yourselves?" he said, pointing at his and Cliegg crossed his arms and they paled at that.
"He's right Padawan Veld, Padawan Olin, if I raised him I would want him to tell me the truth right now, he could never lie to me before. Mace is a Jedi me, but he, and Adi, are me and his mother in Jedi form, he never lied to us, and to him it's why start now, to them. And to me it's why start now, we both knew this, I knew he was meant for more, and I let him go, but he was welcome to come home." Cliegg said and Shmi finished it.
"And any time he wanted to, make me proud, you know what you have to do, baby, but though ten years older, you're still you, still my son, my cub, remember who you are. Do the right thing, it's hard to go against the whole, but honestly you can be a warrior. Or you can be a friend, but if you choose to be both now, be both and be honest now. And you're the strongest warrior in history, well he did it, you or us, and he chose us."
"But honestly this was a matter of, to us, we wanted him to tell the truth do the right thing, he gave without wanting anything in return. He knows nothing of greed or envy, he spent 14 years telling us the truth, so tell us, just tell us. Why should he cover with you and lie, when he knows if he did we and the council and Obi-wan. We could never trust him again?" she asked and Mace and Adi nodded as Cliegg said it firmly as he nodded.
"And without thinking twice about it now, he knew if the woman playing his mother's counterpart wanted anything it was for him to tell them that truth, he's the same way. You destroyed your careers, he did the right thing, but you're the one that destroyed him, so in my eyes, the ones that deserved to get expelled were you. In fact, you should have been expelled this year." he said and Shmi nodded in agreement to that remark.
"I don't care why you did this at all, yes I grew up in the outside world, but my parents left Master and Obi-wan in charge of me when in training, I can't lie to them, I never lied to them ever, I never could before. So why, why should I sacrifice my entire life for you, why?" Anakin said with a stern growl at the duo. "I love my parents, Mace, Qui-Gon, Ben, them or you, no I'm not losing them, no!" he said in finality and Mace nodded gently.
Looking into his eyes, Mace pressed his forehead to his, and he closed his eyes and then buried his head into shoulder. "I mean that, you or them, I choose you, my wants or my duty, I have to do my duty, I have a job to do. And with Daniel here, I can focus, but for 10 years I did my duty, unloading everything that to be said. Right to Ben and then we changed things the following 18 months, but like you, I'm afraid of my powers here."
"Where they could take me, but test of trust, I choose you." he said and Mace nodded. "You made us proud padawan, very proud, you did the right thing, you can't let anyone talk you into doing something this wrong. Our bonds to you over their friendships, not worth it." Mace said softly and he felt him give a nod. "All that mattered to me, you were all that mattered, them or you, it was you and always will be Master, always."
"I did what had to be done, but first and foremost, it was letting you and the quartet know first. I didn't care if they thought of this as a betrayal, but Corran, Dane, Tahiri, and Sari, they were my true friends. As are you and the quartet, my Jedi family, with one piece of that family gone now. I was trying to hold the rest of it together, before Dooku killed all of my friends and with it killed my mother, through the Raiders that month."
"But that's enough of this, I choose you and Ben." he said and Mace nodded as he hold him tightly. "I understand, but none of this was your fault, it was their's, had they just let it go that at times, until you were ready to talk about it. Your traumas and therapy just leave you be, you grew up normal before we brought you into the order. So to us, you needed more time and special attention as we exercised the parental approach."
"And we knew you needed us more then them, we understand, we became your parents at the time, but I see in you the you we know, the little boy we met that first day." Adi said and he nodded as he buried his head into her shoulder. "The me you know is getting stronger by the minute, but frankly once was enough. I can't taking losing you again or I'll never survive the heart ache from it." he said and she pulled him into a hug at that.
Holding him, she rocked him back and forth as she felt him shaking at the memory, Mace looked at Daniel and he gave a nod gently, but sternly at that remark. "Issues in growing up normal, at the times the cub in said in young man, gets drawn out, but right now. It's he needs us more then ever, as with our memories back we can do this again easily now. Daniel, we still need your help, but let us take it from here, we know what to do here."
"But what happened to your cousin was the fault of these two padawans and breaking the code. A Jedi never lies and they did, you, when the six of you are on mission, you call the shots, so you stay with them and Luke. Lana, you're the oldest of you, you're in charge." Mace said and Daniel nodded to the request. "You want me to deal with things, as you help him come to terms now, regarding having to do everything twice now."
"Now that you know where you messed up?" he asked and the entire council and Obi-wan nodded. "Yes we do, let us handle where we messed up as we know who Palpatine is, he may keep his signature cloaked. But that's not stopping the feeling of ice cold temperatures from coming from him. But it's once he's 12 to 13, it's ending right now, as we tell him to stay away from Anakin now starting now as he takes the edge off."
"I know my padawan, but honestly being the parent, it results in the sort of pranks that you read about and in regarding the mission. And to Sekot, but what Anakin told you, that's being a parental mentor right there, but we know our students weaknesses. When in being parents, but we had that talk, force knows how many times here too. And until it lands him in here after the blood carver, but this just brings it back right now."
"You were going to set the trap and let Sidious walk right into it, but Dex is the one suffering your entire young adult life traumas. But you, my padawan, just have to face the memories by seeing it from our perspective. But you are not going through that twice, and the plan is redo things leading into Zan Arbor. And then Daniel takes you on now after." Mace said and he nodded with a bemused smile on his face at that remark.
"So I got till Zan Arbor as I unload my feelings of hating my sensitivity to the force, my powers and title to you and Ben. After that I go to Daniel leading into the year before war ends and then Ben takes me back and I complete my training at 26 as his student. As I am now a knight and then a year later after that you promote me to Master. When we're in hiding on Delaya, before we separate at the twins 10th birthday to start it over."
"Alright that works nicely, but we fixed what went wrong now, I am sounding so much like Ben now at this age at the moment. That there is no need to be worried, the me you know is tightly in place right now. Though what I will say is if certain people just told the truth I never would have turned at all. As such there is no need to think twice about it, it's going to be you and always will be you." he said and Mace and the council nodded.
"That's the conversation that was said between the kid and his squadron leader, the trio chose to cast this off as a flight accident. And was lying until the captain caught them in their lies, as the boy that voiced everything said, in his side of the conversation, chose. Said chose his mother, his best friend's parents and memory, the enquiry, his captain, and most of all duty to the truth." Daniel said and the council nodded sternly at that.
"I made my choice, so long as I never lost you, Darra, the quartet, or my mother, I could handle the betrayal and the consequences that came with it. But in the second that they switched lightsabers, they tore my heart out and I told you what happened next. But that was it, the Jedi turned on me, don't you turn on me too, I chose you." Anakin said shaking in grief and Mace, Adi, Damon and Tiana nodded as he said it for all of them.
"He chose us: Obi-wan, his mother, Damon, Soara and Darra's memory, the council and most of all. Most of all, his duty to come forward and tell us the truth, regarding what really took place. He got off easy for coming forward and telling us the truth, though the acceleration program. It got cancelled and he had to wait another 7 to 10 months for his trials." Mace said crossing his arms at the news and Anakin nodded as he answered him.
"Yes Master I did, though distant in their timeline you were with me, all I wanted was to keep your trust, I didn't care about the glory of catching Omega, Dooku, Greivous. Being the war legend everyone made me out to be, all I cared about was keeping your trust. But our bonds as a master/padawan team and officially after joining the council, your star pupil as I made master and we were watching each other's backs for years to come."
"That's what mattered now to me, if I had to sacrifice my friendship with them to keep your trust, then so be it, you mattered more to me, you always did." Anakin told him and he nodded as he ran his hand through the hair at the back of his head gently. "We knew you would never let us down, you had a hard choice to make, but you did the right thing. By coming forward regarding the fact it was broken." Adi told him and he nodded to her.
"So what was the true test between the three of us exactly, in regarding making knight and the council, and finally master?" Anakin asked and Adi crossed her arms as she answered him. "To see if you have what it takes to be made a full Jedi, by ignoring your own wants in favor of your duties. And there were 4 stages to this as well, but: team work and submission of will, as teenagers, allowing the chance at graduating early now."
"Letting it cloud your judgement as you dealt with a possible violation in the code, like you failing to report you need a new lightsaber, and until you fixed the current one. Choosing between love and your responsibilities as a Jedi, and finally, reporting you found the Sithmaster, and choosing between saving your family or your life as a Jedi. And you passed every test and in the end you made master and the council at the time."
"Between you three in your training quartet, you were the only one who passed every test as you grew up and made council. Again and again, that temptation was standing there, tempting you to ignore your responsibilities in favor of your wants. And again and again, you ignore that in favor of your responsibilities, you truly are a Jedi master. A Jedi and the true chosen one, you passed." she said and Anakin smiled in relief at the news.
"In truth this is how we and the council really knew your father, before Sidious got to him in the end, but he ignored that temptation of higher rank. His promotion to graduating early in the trials, or just a chance at being promoted to master in favor of his responsibilities. Was willing to sacrifice the one thing that could save your mother from his premonitions just to turn Sidious into us." Obi-wan told the twins and they nodded.
"Growing up outside the temple was a benefit too, he knew right from wrong and always did the right thing, no matter how much it hurts. But when your grandmother sent him to us, like he tested us in our bonds, we tested him. And in the end, we showed what he meant to us and it was alot, he was our best student. And we loved him like a son and vice versa, our trust was what mattered to him." Damon said and they nodded to him.
"Darra was my partner in that at the time, and she was part of the test, but you two made the mistakes and your mistakes result in killing her." he said and Qui-Gon, Tiana, Damon and Adi crossed their arms at that. "I want a replay of that conversation, right now, that you had with him if he sees this as he's a council member. And close to making master here as he outstrips both of you." Mace said sharply at the remark sternly then.
"We just did the test of honesty, so now the report you tell us is next, Anakin, first we do his reporting into us and then we do his next conversation to them now. As we see their determination to not end the mission yet. As they know they're screwed with us as the council and tried to deflect it here." Adi said and Mace nodded. "Before we do that, we do the re-arranged conversation as we set the trap and let Sidious walk right into it now."
"So first the real conversation and then we do it with pretending we rejected him in the first attempt, like before, as Anakin does his mission now. Stage rehearsal and then do it for real as the council leaves their minds open to Sidious until he makes his move. In the double meaning remark as the beacon in Anakin's power broke the barrier and hit every force sensitive in the galaxy." he said and Qui-Gon nodded as he got what he meant.
"Further testing just ran a perfect match and he told us everything, Qui-Gon." Adi told him and he nodded. "I take it the reason for the underlying fear was do to some situation, if he was afraid he leaves and he'll never see them again?" Obi-wan and they nodded. "The trader attacked his spaceport, and kidnapped several of his friends parents one of them is the mother of his friend Amee, the girl." Mace said and they both nodded.
"I saw two girls with him, Kitser, that's his best friend and a Rodian named Wald who were acting as his pit crew. Annie, is the girl the older of the duo?" Qui-Gon asked and Anakin nodded. "Her mother is Halla, you met her husband already he was in the escalator with you, Padme and mom. Krayne attacked my spaceport two years ago, and Master Gallia told me Obi-wan's friend is getting ready to leave to deal with it."
"The third boy was Seek Starstreamer, that you saw with me, but the seven of us, and Sirrakallibow, who is the sole wookie in the spaceport, her family. The eight of us tended to spend our days playing around after our jobs were done. And ended up running into an old spacer, like three weeks, before the race and you guys and Padme arrived, Master." he told him and they nodded to the reveal as Mace gave a nod as that did it then.
"So of eight, there was a Wookie and a Rodian in your circle of friends at your spaceport, you said that I'm like Starstreamers father. And Damon was like Farcloud, Adi is your mother's counterpart, so that leaves Halla, what's her personality like. And what was Amee's sister like?" he asked and Anakin smiled. "I think it was you, Master Cho Leem." he said and she nodded with a gentle smile at the news and he gave a nod to him.
"We made the decision in advance at the moment Qui-Gon, but he will be trained, we also chose his team in advance, it's you." he said and they nodded, smiling. "How Ferus takes that is anyone's guess, he's been want me as his mentor for three years. And ever since they got out of the nursery and started basic training." Obi-wan said and he nodded as he crossed his arms as he answered his remark with a slightly stern stone.
"The code has been in place for centuries, it's two of one kind and one of the other, you and Anakin already bonded. And Ferus never took any time to get to know you, but you and Anakin already share a bond. We just got word back from the senate, but they're voting on a new supreme chancellor and Queen Amidala is returning home. Which will put pressure on the opposition and widen the confrontation now, so with that."
"I want you to go with the queen back to Naboo, and discover the identity to the character that attacked you and Anakin. As this is the clue we need to unravel the mystery of the Sith, Anakin gave us a way to spot who is it. But a case of double agent, after we arrest Gunray and his team, you hear whoever it is. That gives a certain case of praise to Anakin and a certain remark it's over." he said and they nodded to the orders.
"What kind of remark are we expecting if it's a dual meaning, Mace?" Qui-Gon asked and he explained that. "And you, young Skywalker, we will watch your career with great interest, whoever says this, they will give unlimited access to themselves. But if our Zabrak is the apprentice then it's possible whoever our new Chancellor is. Is either connected to the Master or he is the Sith Master." he said and they both nodded to him.
"Anakin just gave us his mother's opinion on things and she thinks it's best that he doesn't have his title and abilities thrown at him every time he turns around. And we agree with that opinion as well." Adi said and Qui-Gon nodded in agreement. "As do I, what was the definition to prophecy exactly?" he asked and Anakin answered that. "The force has been out of balance so long that with our attacker showing himself."
"The prophecy has activated and our team is the one thing standing between them, and total control of the galaxy. But it's a matter of total balance: light and darkness, peace and strife, democracy and dictatorship. The democracy is about to come to an end and a dictatorship is buried in the shroud of the darkside." he said and Qui-Gon nodded in amazement to the news and Obi-wan said it for him at that remark in shock.
"So what does that mean for being the chosen one?" he asked and Anakin sighed. "That chosen is meant to either join the Sith or, and I gave this suggestion. But clone a copy to become a Sith and restore the balance that has been out of whack ever since. But we outnumber them: 10,000 Jedi to 2 Sith, we destroyed them and now it's their turn. I was meant to change the code and create the first ever Jedi Dynasty now, Obi-wan."
"The male bloodline, the Skywalkers are meant to join the council when in our prime, so the Sith are out to get revenge, and I got a very good look at that character. The one that attacked us, it's a Zabrak and as we all know there are only two planets. That the Zabraks come from and only one that had a similar prejudice. And to our lightside counterparts on his home planet, Dathomir." he said and Yoda closed his eyes at that.
"Back they are, the Nightsisters and Nightbrothers are back." he said and Anakin nodded as he said it then to the entire group. "He's from Dathomir, got chosen at the same age I did and was trained as an assassin to kill Jedi, Master Yoda. Ben kills this guy and whoever his Sith mentor is, turns his sights on me. I'm just as powerful as he is, if not more so, in the prime of my life." he said and they nodded to him firmly at that news.
"So that's it, the prophecy was right all along, you are the chosen one." Mace said and he nodded to him. "Well it's no wonder that..., oh boy, why didn't we see this coming, Qui, our conversation with the guides on Kegan." Adi said and he closed his eyes then. "What they say if you're just now bringing that up?" Anakin asked and she explained that to him as she exchanged annoyed looks with Qui-Gon, Siri and Obi-wan then firmly.
"I think their clues are scattered over the next 35 to 36 years actually, but the darkness surrounds the Jedi and comes from within them. Triangle shaped ships, a ship the size of a moon powerful enough to destroy a planet, soldiers dressed in white armor. Their leader is dressed in black carrying a red lightsaber, his mentor is a man. With a disfigured face and the leader of the resistance is a young man, his twin sister and their friends."
"A duo of droids, the duo are a blue astro droid and gold protocol droid, a free lance soldier." she said and Anakin nodded. "My alter ego ended up in that suit, but something caused it to happen, so to name them off: our disfigured evil leader is our sithmaster. One of us turned his features like that, so it's self fullfiling prophecy from here. Master, soldiers in white." he said and they nodded in agreement to his thoughts at that news.
"That's my catch then, Kamino." Sifo Dyas said and he nodded. "Bingo, our soldiers in white come from the cloners, we created a clone army, before those clones. They turned into the dictatorship's army now, my alter ego is the man in black. Carrying the red lightsaber, his mentor is the man with the disfigured face. So to go on, the young man, his twin sister and their friends, are my children and their friends, her husband."
"His wookie co-pilot, a young man that looks just like Master Damon and then the droids, I was going to give my protocol droid gold coverings when I finished him. And the R2 unit is Artoo himself." he said and they nodded in shocked amazement then. "If I got into a fight with our Sith when we found him, he fired off force lightning at me. And I deflected it back onto him and it melted his features as a result." Mace said and he nodded to him.
"Bingo, self fullfilling prophecy, so I just finish it off and we catalogue it, but that attack on our Sith, if he was a politician and possibly our new chancellor, he called treason. And wiped us out, while my alter ego just barely killed me and nearly killed someone. And that landed him in the suit as a result, Master, and whoever it was now. That put him in that suit, he got into a very intense fight with his mentor, age us 13 years and..., no."
"That can't be." he said quickly and looked up at Obi-wan and aged him 13 years and felt his heart give a pained jolt. "The power lust had gone right to his head now, Ben tried to turn me back, but by then I was in coma. And he knew I would rather die a Jedi then live as a Sithlord for the rest of my life." he said and the council nodded as Obi-wan pulled him against him at that and Han stopped it at that what he just said in shock.
"The entire 36 years was a case of self fullfilling prophecy, you just named our entire fight until we ripped the heart out of the empire?!" he said and they nodded to him. "Yeah that's everything son, Artoo was trying to hide the fact that Leia was Luke's twin, until I told him everything, but how he ended up in that suit. We were on Mustafar, I tried to turn him back and we got into a fight." Obi-wan said and they nodded in shock then.
"That's how Sidious ended up like that, you deflected the force lightning back at him and it melted his features, dad, Master Windu?" Luke asked and they nodded. "Yeah, right after your grandfather gave Threepio back to me, I changed his coverings. And from steel to gold, Artoo was my droid ever since your grandmother died as a result here too. The boys knew their roles as I gave Threepio to your mother and Artoo belonged to me."
"Without thinking twice about it now, they stepped back into that role with you and your sister, your sister: a politician, you: a budding Jedi knight. They knew what role they had to play and took it back for a second generation with you now. But everything the guides of Kegan told them got unlocked once I came into the picture. Until it was revealed once you were ready to start training." he said and the quintet, Wedge and Hobbie all nodded.
"So they described our past to you in detail and then it started getting unlocked, were it not for these two, you would be split in half as Vader is a Sith. And you are dressed in the robes of a Jedi master as you started my training when I was 12. Nearly six years later that image of us was you and me, father and son, Master and Apprentice." Luke said and he nodded as he sighed as he answered him gently at that remark as he looked at them.
"And it will be now, I'm getting Vader cloned, he ends up in that suit and you get me back, so that story Ben told you was true finally. He betrayed me and nearly killed me, but Ben and Master got me to Tantive V and healed my injuries. As I watched you be born and we're in hiding on Delaya until your 10th birthday. Eight years until things starts all over again, I start you at 11 1/2, son, okay." he said and the twins nodded in relief.
"A.J. was conceived 9 years, before Bail sent me to get you, dad." Leia said and he nodded and squeezed her hand. "I know Princess, but listen to me, until the time comes you have to hide your true power from Dex and Sidious. Or they could destroy you, I am not taking that chance, Han, you're with us starting the day we meet at Mos Eisley." he said and they nodded as Chewie gave two growls and a roar and he nodded to him.
"Then that's the day we want our memories back, as I see you as an adult this time dressed in full Jedi mode as I start acting like her husband. Though to everyone else we just met, aside from the Rebel leaders, Wedge, Garv, Dave and Hobbie. She's my fiance, and we're engaged as we're spending three years on the run, as I get her brother. And then Lando and Lobot come into it next." Han said in agreement and Leia nodded gently.
"Whoever's playing with the wiring on her, you better stop doing that, before you break something or electrocute yourself." Lando said and Chewie gave a growling chuckle to his remark. "Yeah and this time we know you're playing double agent, a friend of the family as your grandfather was dad's other Jedi mentor. And with him are the girls as his best friend and big sister." Leia said and Han and Chewie nodded in agreement to that.
"The wiring, what happened if the landing platform kept shorting out?" Padme asked and Luke covered his eyes as Leia started laughing and Han answered that question. "Enroute to Yavin IV we got into a case of target pracrice, one of the shots hit the lateral controls. And while Artoo was putting out the fire, Threepio ended getting tangled in the wiring, until we had to disconnect it." he said and they nodded as they started laughing at that.
"Chewie and I got piloting, you and Luke have target practice, son, like you, Ben considered my flying as an attempted suicide as I, at times, played chicken. And with the pilots or even better did the threading of the needle and until whatever. That it was they fired at me missed me and blew up the other missile they fired at me. So flying through an astroid field is something I would do." he said and Han nodded smiling at that news.
"I see that, as these guys are not good enough or crazy enough to try the stunts we do in piloting and never tell us the odds either. You said if you met me when as yourself you would approve of me immediately, dad?" he asked and the Skywalkers nodded. "Yeah honey, we would, we're civil servants, we all married below or above our station. That's in her blood in three generations." Padme said and Jobal and Shmi nodded gently then.
"Your father was a professor at the university, I am from a family of farmers, Annie's parents are moisture famers, he's a Jedi, you are senator. Luke and Leia chose your careers, and the boys and Chewbacca are all gifted soldiers in the alliance. That's our family now." Jobal said and Padme nodded. "Our family seems to keep getting targeted, but as long as we stay together, we win." Leia said and Luke nodded in agreement gently.
