Disclaimers: the characters don't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to the author and the creator of the movies.
Warnings: This is going to cover the rewrite to the story connecting the Jedi Apprentice stories together as though he was Adi's apprentice and Ferus was with Obi-wan and Qui-Gon as with it, Qui-Gon survived the fight with Darth Maul, as this is what if from the very beginning they gave him a second chance as he becomes everything he was supposed to be under Adi and Siri now.
Chapter 6: The Celebration Ceremony And Family Meetings
"There are things in my life not being kept secret, as secrets can destroy a Jedi's life, one side or another, can't do it, but completely equal. And I stand a better chance, but if there is one thing I know now, it's as the one it all rests on, I am not letting anything get between us. The us being me, Obi-wan and the council, so with Obi-wan and ergo I am with the Jedi council." Anakin said and Mace completed that sentence firmly at that remark then.
"Gave it a second chance at good second impression and he latched on immediately so all around access to you is cancelled my lord, and with it now. He needs to be treated normally, we know he's gifted that's very apparent to us, but what he doesn't need is his powers, skills and his sensitivity thrown at him. And every time he turns around, it's family business and as you're not family, I suggest you stay out of this, you're off limits starting now."
"As of this moment, his mother left us as his guardians, and she gave us a specific request, said is that we're to protect him from anything. Anything that can interfere in his training, and we're going back in 6 months to free her right no, and to meet his stepfather. As I do believe said that includes a case of bad politics, and secondly is we don't trust politicians after the senator from Belasco now." he said sternly and he nodded in shock at that.
"I'm also engaged to the future senator of Naboo, so public knowledge as of today right now this is not being a secret, I belong to her right now. And with it now, is this, but you ever intended to test me in the way a Sith does, not going to work, so stay away from me." Anakin said to him and he swallowed hard. "I mean it, my family is serving as the one dealing with constant dealings in the darkside." he said sternly and the man tried to keep from paling.
"I barely know you, and we decided to give it a second shot at our bonds now, they are my mentor and guardian, so I'm staying with them now. So if he, that he, being the mentor of the one that my brother just killed is in your ranks, tell him from me, it's never going to happen, I belong to Master Yoda. As his star pupil now, but I hate the darkside, it nearly killed my entire family on this mission, but I will never turn to the darkside."
"My Jedi father is alive, I'm not hiding my future engagement to the queen, and it's public knowledge, not one or the other, but the best of both. So with those words in mind right now, just what makes you think I can trust you now, as I barely know you, I meet them and the connection is complete. No longer just a promise, I am not with them out of loyalty, but with them out of being everything I need them to be for me, someone who understands."
"Said understands is this, but I hate my powers, I hate my sensitivity to the force and I hate my title, and I know this, they are acting as my family now. So trust is earned and not quickly at the moment, they took care of me and looked out for me ever since I arrived on the capital now. Them: I trust, you: I barely know, so I'm with them, forever, I am not quitting the Jedi, I made a commitment to my unit, I am 100% committed to that promise."
"I love my team and adoptive team, and I am not going anywhere, so try all you want and send this back to him if he's in your ranks try as hard as he wants. I'm not budging I belong to them, so get himself a new one, as I will never go to the darkside and turn on my friends, my family." he said sternly and the man swallowed hard a second time as Mace completed that sentence, and hid a smile at the level of commitment in his tone.
"I know the Sith are back and one of them dropped by my home town, but word of warning, the threat has a double meaning. Maul's kind are Nightbrothers, they're back, and with them are the Sith, but I hate the darkside, it nearly murdered my father, so I'm never turning to the darkside. If Sidious is hiding in your ranks pass him this message, I'm never turning to the darkside, you failed Lord Sidious, I am a Jedi, like my parents before me."
"We will meet again, and your days are numbered." Anakin said and he nodded shaking as he got the warning and re-read it as a threat to himself. "I love the man your apprentice just tried to kill like a father, but you sealed your fate Sidious, I will never turn to the darkside. But you touch my family and I will kill you myself, and I mean every word of that, stay the force away from us, starting now." he said sternly and Palpatine quickly nodded.
"Stay away from the queen, stay away from me and stay away from my parents, in-laws, brothers and sisters." he said with a warning growl and he nodded shaking. 'Yeah now he ticked him off, with his adult self trapped in his preteen youngling body, he's furious here.' Adi thought to that warning and knew he meant every word of it as she and Qui-Gon exchanged looks at the warning/threat he just gave Palpatine and knew he just scared the hell out of him.
As Qui-Gon left his hands on Anakin's shoulders with a stern look at him then as Mace said it then finally. "And one other thing I am too close to the Jedi and the council to even think of turning now, call me a pawn of the council if you want, but I am their man through and though. But my mentor is your Jedi counterpart, I love him, he protected me, took me in, took care of me, he means as much to me, as he means to the others now."
"So I don't consider being a pawn of the council an insult, but a compliment, I'm their man through and through here now starting now but here it is. But your Jedi version is my mentor, my friend and my family now, he's everything I don't need from you and you think I don't know this. You only told me that legend to get to my own alter ego, but I have that power already to save my loved ones, and it's through my Jedi father now, so nice try."
"You Sith scum it won't work, but 10 years, 13 even 36 years down the line, I will never turn to the darkside, I will never turn on my friends, you failed. You're too late, before you could even get to me, Master Yoda just did what you just tried and I belong to him as his student and confident." he said sternly and Mace nodded sternly to that. 'Yeah now he ticked him off if he's saying this, he belongs to us permanently now.' Damon thought, hiding a smile to that.
"Your Jedi version is Master Yoda himself, he got to me first and I told him everything, opening my heart to him, he got to me first now. But that's the point isn't it, you wanted a new apprentice after my brother killed your current one, not a chance, as I'm too close to him, them. Now, to even think of changing, the code got changed, I get to see my parents and friends, her as much as I want, keep in contact, the old code is retired."
"The prophecy got translated, but it's really spelling out my family's war with the Sith, specifically you Darth Sidious, but I'm not the second. And I never will be, so find yourself a new apprentice as powerful as I am, I belong to Master Yoda, starting now, so be warned, I will kill you if you touch my family." Anakin said sternly and he tried to keep from nodding as he tried to control his fear at the threat from the near 10 year old padawan in front of him.
"Our closest friends in the politicians are to be the future senator of Naboo, Alderaan, Chandrilla, Commoner and Mon Calamari, Virujansi, Dantooine. Let alone Corellia now, but there are things I refuse to have him exposed to, and one is a case of unwarranted special attention here right now. And secondly when he needs time to stabilize from jumping from planet to planet, as we get the tracker out his arm." he said sternly at that remark then.
'Cub cool down, you made your point, but you just scared the force out of him.' Damon said to that as he tried to control himself at the threat. 'Yes Uncle Damon.' he said in response and Damon hid a chuckle at the new title as Mace hid a laugh at that remark. "I know that the darkside is a slavery, and I just got released, I'm never doing it again, I am free, finally." Anakin said sternly and Mace nodded in agreement to that.
"Or were you not paying a attention we never looked into slavery here right now, till now, and we're protecting him from a repeater now." he said firmly as they practically saw a look of fear in his eyes. 'No, how do I get close to him now, Jinn is alive, blast it why did Maul not do as I asked.' Mace practically saw him thinking. 'That's right you scum, stay away from my son, he's staying a Jedi.' he thought sternly at that response.
"But team group ups here are me, Masters Gallia, Merrin and Calrissian, but we're the team quartet in training, training starts instead from birth. At Creche age now, and we're sending them to see their families more often, but though we're an order, we're like everyone else. But as the queen said, we're changing the code as of tonight, your lordship." Qui-Gon said to him as they ended it at that remark then firmly as heard a gentle mental call out.
As Yoda arrived and gently touched Anakin's arm and he smiled as he crouched in front of him and pressed his forehead to Yoda's as he closed his eyes. As Yoda hugged him and he buried his head into Yoda's shoulder and the council smiled at that response then. 'Love you Master.' they heard and they heard an answering response. 'Love you too my padawan, letting you go, I will not.' they heard and nodded with a smile then gently.
'Yes it's working, there is no way in force Palpatine is going to get to dad now!' Leia thought watching from across the hall. "Hey princess if you want to talk, best join us now." Kit said and she nodded to him gently at that remark as she, Luke and Han moved to them at that. "Issues with this job, I'm expecting trouble every other hour here." Han said and Mace nodded with a chuckle and as Palpatine looked between them at that.
"And you are, young lady?" Palpatine asked and Luke answered that he looked at him warily. "Luke, Han and Leia Solo, Leia and I are twins, he's our adoptive brother." he said and Palpatine nodded in shock to the news. "And this is Tenenial Djo and her husband Isolder, the queen mother and prince of the Hapes system and our best friends Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca from Kasshykk." he said and he nodded in amazement to the news.
"Hey son, good to see you again." Jedi Knight Depa Billaba said to him and he bowed to her as he looked between the rest of his version of the council. 'Master, we slammed a secondary attempt on him shut, my children, and their friends are here, I'm married to Padme, and the twins are her's and mine.' he thought to them and they gave a hidden nod. 'Padme, the queen of Naboo?' Even Piell asked him and he nodded to him mentally.
'Yes Master, we're married in 10 years, we had them conceived here, and during a personal leave, and everything that happened in their present. To mid future now, it's self fulfilling prophecy I discovered the connection between what the Keganites told mother and father. And everything else, but it seems everything in their fight with our enemies, is all self fulfilling prophecy, but even better, my son just confirmed it.'
'But he and his sister, her husband and their friends all dealt with and got rid of him for good in their present, but their 41 years in the past.' he said and they nodded to the news. 'And you're turning 10 in a month, so we know what to expect now, if we changed this moment in time, blocked off all access he has to you, and you stay on your path, and he's never going to survive the fight here now.'
'And once your children are old enough, but 41 years, that makes you 51 now, alright we understand at the moment, Mace told us they are changing the code starting now.' Depa said to him and he gave a mental nod. 'Issues of the family business, he, that's my son, he's next in line for the family business, but I made council somewhere before they were born here, and with it now, was this as I caught him.'
'Palpatine is the Sithmaster, they and the nightsisters and brothers are back, I am the one of the prophecy.' he said and they hid a gentle nod to the news. 'Fast choice here I decided to clone my alter ego, and say he's my baby brother, my own twin now, and everything Obi-wan and Master told my son is turned true, so I got it under control now, but I'm Mother and Siri's padawan now.' he thought softly, as he kept up his shields up then gently.
Just to keep Palpatine out. 'We understand and thank you for telling us.' they thought back to him gently at that. 'And that's an impressive level of deflection of keeping you on your path as this continues, but this is the you we will and will always know, padawan. We're very proud of the progress you made in such a short time since we met.' Yarael Poof said to him gently with a soft mental smile then.
'Found the fatal mistake of their version of us, and we nearly did it again, but Father told you he was back, before telling you he found me. 2) is I never got on the mental com-line with you so we could talk and before you met me face to face, 3) Obi-wan never took the time. Now, to get to know me, 4) and most importantly I never told you my real fears on mom, so all of that was taken care of this way.' he said softly to him and he nodded.
'Well we just fix all those things and you become who you were meant to be, I suppose Qui told you the power needed to save who you love then?' Depa asked him and he nodded to her. 'Yes Master, and I'm learning it from an early age, but it's the trader and the Tuskins, who are nomads on my planet, after losing the mother of a friend of mine, she was taken by the Slave trader, Krayne.'
'I thought he grabbed my mother as well and the fear on her face is something I never want to see again.' he told her gently and she nodded to him. 'Well that finishes it off, what needed to change, but acts of desperation out of fear are the leading cause of some of the things. That we get ourselves into here as Jedi, your brother made a fatal mistake that almost killed your sister, at the time.'
'But always remember, at the very worst time is the time you must follow the code now.' Even told him and he nodded to him. 'I understand, but I got an easier time then my rival, as you put him to the test, growing up in the real world. You know where you come from, you have a life, family, planet and cause already, that it doesn't hit you as hard here now, it's easy for me, I know where I come from here.'
'I'm keeping in touch with Padme and mom, let alone my family if she gets married in the next five years now, I'm beyond loyal. And to mother and Siri, deepest commitment, and most serious mind, I have both, I will not leave you, not that fast, I swear to that now.' he said and they smiled at the remark. "Well then welcome to the Jedi Order, Padawan Anakin Skywalker.' Depa said aloud and he bowed to her gently in response then.
"Little discussion your brother had to have with us right now at the moment, boys, baby." Nejaa Halcyon said to them and they all nodded to him. "Master Halcyon?" Leia asked and he nodded to her. "Mental conversations is the only way for privacy, as is locking up your shields kids, but welcome to the Jedi order, twins, honey, boys." Depa said to her and she nodded to her gently as she introduced herself and the sextet next to her.
"I am Master Depa Billaba, this is Yarael Poof, Even Piell, Coleman Trebor, Oppo Rancisis and Eeth Koth." she said and Leia and Luke bowed gently at that to them. "Nice to meet you all now, Masters Jedi, I am Luke Solo, this is my sister Leia, our brother Han, and our friends Tenenial Djo of Dathomir and her husband Prince Isolder of the Hapes Cluster and our friends Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca of Kasshykk."
"His brother is with his family, but two brothers with the name." he said and they nodded to the introductions. "Nice to meet all of you, welcome to the order, so what can we expect here?" Even asked and Qui-Gon answered that one. "Luke never completed his training completely, so I'm finishing it right now, but I accepted the admittance to council finally Even." he said and they all nodded to the news smiling gently as he said it then.
"Well we're just relieved we never lost you on this mission Qui-Gon, we had to make sure, before we came, and Winna is here as well, so you're recovering as you deal with this." he said and Qui-Gon nodded to him smiling. "Well as I said Obi-wan is ready for the trials and proved it by a fight with our returned enemy now." he said and the council nodded to him as Yoda said it. "Confer on the rank now, we do." he said and Qui-Gon nodded to him softly.
"Well knight or not, we're not ready to let go of our partnerships just yet right now, another 4 years maybe and then I step back, but until then now. I'm staying with Master Qui-Gon." Obi-wan said to him and he nodded. "Understand I do and done, it will be." he said and Obi-wan nodded as he bowed to him. "Going on 26, you are but still feel like youngling, that it Obi-wan?" Yaddle asked and he nodded and they nodded with a gentle smile.
"Issues with this situation and we're just saying this, that if we had to change codes in the future if the Sith did come back. We're doing it the way my son would do it and will, we can be allowed to fall in love and marry, we can live normal lives here. First Jedi lesson created: Can a Jedi grow up in the real world and still be a Jedi, well I believe I just proved it right now, but though following my dreams, I still have work to do."
"That work is getting my soulmate off my planet before the Night-brother, Lord Darth Maul, got to her." he said and Palpatine nodded in shock to that news as he furthered that. "In being a member of Masters Adi and Mace's branch, I'm seeing this as though I was a Sith or dark Jedi, but if I wanted a very powerful young recruit, I would look at what they wanted most and once alone tell that to them, as I waited for them to cave in to it."
"But simple case of indoctrination tactics looked into as true Jedi and very young too, Master Guardians are like homicide detectives, and like our counterparts, the sentinels now, we're looking into espionage and treason charges here now." Anakin said and Mace nodded in agreement to that. "And like you, your son is our latest star pupil in your family, and with him, his sister." he said and the twins hid a smile at their remarks.
"Sorry your eminence but I'm staying with my friends and mentors starting now." he said and Palpatine nodded shaking at that. "Your eminence, starting now, I don't want anything to do with you right now, but I don't need special attention, but to be treated normal. I hate my powers, my sensitivity and my title, and to me these things brought me nothing, but pain since I became a Jedi so with that, I don't want special attention and stay away from me."
"Star pupil, but then it's not a matter of showing off I want to be normal, I don't want special treatment, but I'm different and at times different is deadly." he said and they nodded in agreement as Palpatine saw the duffle-bag that was hanging from Obi-wan's shoulder. "What are those?" he asked and he said it. "Added texts for training my baby brother." he said and Palpatine nodded shaking at the news as he looked between them.
"Everything I need, I have right here, I might have given you a chance, if my mentor never survived that fight, the fact he did, only underlines. Now, I'm staying with him for a long time, but in any case my mother thinks it's best I stay with him and focus on my training, I have new life. But I'm not changing things and now when I know he's still from recovering that lightsaber blow." he said and he nodded as he tried to keep from shaking then.
"But if I know one thing it's this, a Sith offers you anything to do their dirty work for them, in brainwashing techniques had we never given it a second shot. I might have thought differently here right now, and that's if father never survived the fight yesterday, but the fact he did only underlines it. But classic indoctrination techniques, offer you whatever you want in exchange for something they want you do to now."
"But you have to resist, as once you do take it, you belong to them after that it, but I am a Jedi, and you failed you Sith scum, I am a Jedi, like my father and mother before me." Anakin said sternly and Palpatine tried to keep from paling. 'Yeah that's right you Sith scum, we're on to you, but you're never getting to me, or my family ever again, stay the hell away from my family.' Anakin thought sternly at the look on his face then firmly.
'Yeah I think you made your point baby, but you don't have to over do it right now, as I think you scared the force out of him.' Siri said to that as she hid a laugh at that remark. "And only a true Jedi can see the pattern starting, as we had a case of disruption, as this situation in the senate was preventing them, us, from doing this properly and the next on one that list, is if we lost father, is demoralization."
"As this continues in the same direction this is headed, then it's distraction." Obi-wan said and he nodded in agreement. "Yes, but Chancellor they're correct mom gave me specific orders to steer clear of you, but my baby brother maybe attentive, since he doesn't know anyone here. And he's only 6 years old here, and given time once we take him and my twin away from our planet, he likes to tag along with my friends and us."
"But my twin is like me, I'm purple, but he's both green and blue, and beyond good, and soon enough he's being trained by Master Nejaa." he said and the emphasis in his tone got Nejaa's attention and he hid a smile at that. "I've been handpicked by Master Adi and her padawan, though connected to father and Obi-wan still." Anakin said firmly and Palpatine nodded with a sigh as he realized nothing he said was going to change this.
"Now I'll bid you good day, come on guys, we got work to do, before the celebration ceremony tomorrow." he said and the 12 nodded in agreement gently as they, Nejaa and the teams nodded in agreement to that as they headed outside as she started laughing at his response. "Nice touch baby, if that doesn't do it nothing ever does right now." Depa said through a chuckle as she looked at him gently at that remark as Han smiled then.
"Us human Jedi, or humanoid can act like our counterparts now, but we're looking at the case of you getting worried about your padawan, as a parent rather then a mentor now." he said and they nodded gently at that. "Yes, and you be careful now, as though we let you leave the temple, you're taking your com-link." Coleman said to him and he nodded to the orders gently at that remark then at that gentle then.
"Tell me about it, that was mistake, but you get your memories back next expect trouble if Toojay does as well." he said and they nodded with a chuckle. "I got to fix that girl, before she breaks anything else after breaking through the wall and ending up in the pool right now." Nejaa said with a laugh at that. "Tell me about it, but hate to have to tell you this, but our clones ended up as storm troopers." he said and they all nodded to the news.
"Who's the host" he asked and he explained that. "A Madalorian named Jango Fett." he said and they nodded to the news. "As in Boba?" Lando asked and he nodded. "He's his father." he said and Han covered his eyes at that news. "So this is why he hates Jedi, because one of you guys killed his father, ad he doesn't realize he's a clone, not a real boy." Luke said and he nodded as Mace crossed his arms sternly at that news.
"Great that's all we need, so our Fett is their Fett's father and creator?" Mace asked and he nodded. "Yeah and you killed their leader, after he tried to kill Padme, in the arena, Geonosis." he said and he nodded sternly. "So we know where the war starts, and we're setting the trap and letting him fall right into it, but I've been training you so long, you would never turn on us." Mace said and he nodded to him gently at that remark at that remark.
"Nejaa, you were actually a really close friend of mine, but you knew, you knew all along about me and Padme and at one point you ran into me. Said two years after I turned, and tried to get me to turn back." he said and the man nodded to that. "The darkside is a slavery, and you had freedom from that slavery and this decision threw you right back into it, I get that you were heartbroken, but that doesn't mean letting him get away with this."
"Annie, I get it, but you want to prove you're able to heal from this, just admit it, who were you really angry at?" he said and Anakin nodded. "It was never mom or Padme, it was Darra, it always was." he said and they nodded. "Tru and Ferus stabbed you in the heart, you blamed them for Darra's death, from your point of view the Jedi were evil, not us, but the duo, they turned in that split second on Korriban." Mace said and he nodded and they nodded.
Before he could answer him, they felt something building and then a massive power blast shot out of him and knocked them over and they smiled at that. "There that's it, that's the break through we needed, you're you again." Adi said in relief and Mace nodded in relief as he hugged him tightly and he buried his head into his shoulder as he felt him shaking. "He was on the border, before he said it, that's it, it's done." Obi-wan said to the twins then gently.
"So it was never you, it was them, it always was, it's Ferus and Tru, it always was?" Lando asked and he nodded to him. "Yeah it's them and they're in probation if we get our memories back next, though we do, and I'm trading Tru and Ferus, for Dane, Tahiri and their own masters. When on the mission to Korriban, Darra makes it back, we check on your grandmother and it's done, we got him in ten years." he said to him and he nodded sternly.
"The little brats better have a good excuse for this, or so help me gods someone is being arrested for murder right now, and the years of pain we went through." Panaka said to that and he nodded in agreement. "You I trusted all my life Dack, as such right now, years of friendship, but you I can trust, your nephew, Typho, not so much, and not when our personal life is private, though you knew all along she's married and is carrying my children."
"But you're a good friend, and I couldn't ask for a better head of my wife's security right now." Anakin said and he smiled at his remark then gently. "I'd also like to know how the hell they expect to get through that observation, they never took the time to get to know you, we spent a few days together. Your friends on Tatooine knew you all your life, but we know you like this, before whatever traumas changed you slightly." Padme said to this remark gently.
"Yeah that's an understatement, but seeing you every few months, us in constant contact with each other, the me you know is intact, but sure. Sure I'm not perfect, but you wouldn't want me to be, but I am perfect for you, you wanted your soulmate to have a few flaws, and my temper is it." he said and she nodded. "That and I'm 5 years older then you, but this is what my sister would describe, I act like I have restrictions and I don't."
"While you it's in reverse, then again, we're two sides of the same whole here, so one of us dies and we both do, out of heartbreak." she said and he nodded to her. "Well what I will say is this, but we're going to have to play with the voting slightly till we got him where we want him now, so pretend you don't want that military creation act created, and the second he makes his move on us, and we got him." he said to her and she nodded smiling, gently.
"Master Dyas, we better make it fast, but I hope Kamino can clone Jedi as we get the age right so say in 2 years they're ready, my twin is brought here. And he's in training, but my memories of everything you taught so far here comes into it as he's gained my intuition, Dex now. He is trying to adjust and this situation over Ferus he just got jolted and he's been transferred to another mentor, and you had Dex, father, Obi-wan, then again."
"My brother got you as far more strict then you and father ever were with me here right now." He said and Obi-wan nodded sternly. "Yeah I agree with that, he barely knows us, you knew us your entire life as every Jedi we supposedly lost are all clones here. That he turns to Palpatine for paternal attention, is given that legend after losing Shmi, and praying he can use it to save Padme." he said and Anakin nodded in agreement to sternly at that.
"You raised me, I love you guys with everything in me, so no need to ask if that test hits, I'm doing what I was trained to do here." he said and he smiled in relief then. "Issues with being a outside raised padawan you never needed to suppress how you really feel about us now. But giving it a second chance, it just paid off now." Mace said to him smiling and he nodded in agreement to that remark then gently at this.
"Blood test ran, and we do this now, so say two blood samples, should be enough he can replicate it." he said and they nodded in agreement. "Wait, what about he never sees you, but he does you as it continues till you lose that arm, you face it till we get to that point." he said and they nodded as Mace nodded. "That works better, the replication is set for 2 or 3 years, and we got him." he said and Yoda nodded in agreement as Anakin relaxed then.
"Before I forget this, but with my memories back, Master, I don't wish to be taken back, but six months probation, as we fix what he caused between us." Anakin said to Yoda and he nodded. "Understand I do, and done it will be, six months and fix our bonds, and then afterwards return to Mos Espa we will and free your mother and the slaves of your space-port next." he said and Anakin nodded in acceptance to his decision then.
"With the truth out Master, I'm telling you ahead of time here, but we're close to getting back together, so you know all know in the council, both versions now." he said and the council nodded gently. "We understand and thank you for telling us this, you have our blessings in this." Mace said for all of them and he smiled as that helped in changing their futures together as he looked at his future wife and she smiled back at him then.
As they ended it at that and Anakin was ready for the ceremony the next day, watching the parade in relief, Anakin looked at Qui-Gon who gave him a gentle as he stood there with the rest of the council then gently. 'Father is alive, my entire family is intact, I just got to make it to the purge and I complete the prophecy, before we start phase two.' Anakin thought gently as he watched, and feeling relief he was going to see his mother so soon.
Watching as Padme passed a pink orb Boss Nass and he nodded as he lifted it and shouted it out. "Peace!" he called out and both sides of the planet cheered as Anakin looked at Padme and smiled. 'Love you Padme, my angel.' he said with his eyes to her and she smiled as the council hid a smile knowing they were connected for life. 'Ten years and repeated visits, before back together we are again.' Yoda thought smiling at that in response then.
A couple days after the ceremony on Naboo, Anakin gave Padme a hug and she tightened her arms. "Love you my Angel." he said and she smiled. "You too my Annie, love you too." she said as he hugged her one last time and then grabbed his pack. "We'll come check on you in a few months." Obi-wan told her and she nodded smiling as he hugged her as well as she looked at her family as they left then as they headed for Coruscant.
After arriving at the temple, they saw the group then. "Everyone this is our new arrival, his name is Anakin Skywalker, and he's going to be joining your clan, the mighty bear clan." Mace said and the 9 nodded gently as they saw Darra step forward as she pressed her forehead to his and he closed his eyes as, before six others did the same then as he looked at a young wookie no older then he was and smiled gently at that.
"So we got an over age arrival in the temple?" they heard and he turned and saw a boy two years older then him. "Is that a problem, I assume you're Ferus Olin?" Anakin asked and he nodded to him. "Ferus we're not starting right now, but I'm not starting a rivalry here, you get 1/3 of what you wanted, but the other two is still up for consideration." he said and Darra Thel Thanis smiled gently as she looked into his eyes smiling at that.
"Before I forget this, but rather then my real name, I would appreciate it if you all call me Annie." he said and their clan all nodded smiling. "Sure that's fine brother and welcome to the Bear clan." Corran Dameron said to him and he nodded. "If you felt the power blast that was me, what lessons they were teaching you guys in theory was put to practical in my hometown of Mos Espa." he said and the sextet and oldest of them nodded to him.
"Who you get?" she asked and he smiled. "I'm partial in the Jinn/Kenobi team and full in the Gallia/Tachi." he said and she nodded gently. "Hello little brother, my name is Lana Chion." she said and he smiled. "Nice to meet you Lana." he said to her smiling. "They were looking at me and considering it, before we found you Annie, but you and me, we got a connection to the quartet the others don't share." she said and he nodded in agreement.
"Both times in the Outer rim, we were stronger then the others and now to top it off is this." he started to say and she nodded. "We're connected to the quartet that found us and with it now, is they told you of the prophecy mentioned, well the guides of Kegan gave them some details." she said and he nodded. 'That intel is focused on my family Lana, it's all true, Palpatine is the Sith.' he told her and she nodded in shock to that news.
'You're kidding?!' she said in shock and he shook his head. 'No, my entire family is here, but this war is based on everything the guides on your planet told the duo, I'm engaged to the queen, but my twins look like their mother and me. And with them, my daughter's husband is here and his best friends, you know that Damon had a few families out there, his grandson found his way back to my children.' he said and she nodded to him gently.
"So our Sith just tried to kill Master Jinn, alright that's enough of this." she said and they all nodded. "Agreed." he said as he held his hand out and she took it, and then pulled him into a hug and he pressed his forehead to her's to link them together and he closed his eyes then. 'That's not our you, but the you from..., oh Annie, I understand, I missed you too baby, it's okay.' she said and he nodded as she saw his eyes glistening.
And with unshed tears and knew he was beyond happy to get her and everyone he loved back again. 'Sidious took everything away from me, only you, Tru, Ferus and I were all that's left of our clan, the others were killed in the war along with Soara, Siri, Ry, and mother.' he said as she heard his voice shaking with silent sobs and she nodded as she hugged him tightly at that, as the quintet felt his pain shoot into them and they all jerked.
"What just happened?" Ferus said in shock and she said it with a growl. "What happened here is the him when his kids were young adults no older then Obi-wan just got thrown back to the last month. First after the chancellor got deflected in his attempted on him and the masters just prevented it, and he's latched on to my team quintet, and he's now connected to Obi-wan and Master." she said and they nodded in shock to the news then.
"Make that team sextet, with me added to the team now." Anakin said to her and she nodded in agreement. "Yeah they found both of us, they got us out of a dictatorship and with it, we're both from the Outer Rim." she said and he nodded smiling as she hugged him tightly at that. "Don't worry, you're not alone right now, but trust me, whoever caused the downward spiral is in big trouble." she said and the sextet crossed their arms at that.
"Oh my gods, that's not him as our version, it's him from 36 years into the future!" Corran snapped and Ferus paled at that news. "Yeah that's it exactly Corran, I'm not your me anymore, I'm the me from a recovery after being stuck like that for 23 years." he said and they all nodded in shock to that news. "Emotional breakdown, and who's blasted fault is it that we lost you?" Dane Van Perril asked sternly and he looked at Ferus, who paled.
"You, it was you, if you just told the truth, Sidious never would have gotten to my alter ego, both you and another." he said to Ferus and he swallowed hard at the news then. "So you see what happens it was always your fault as 9 months later, I lose my mother next, and you know what happens?" he asked and they both swallowed hard at that. "It was Nomi all over again." he said and they both paled at that remark then in fear.
"But let me ask you something Ferus, Tru, but would you go after him to get the glory of graduating early or would wait for your master?" Anakin asked and Ferus paled at that. "Would you hold back the fact someone's lightsaber was broken just so you can graduate early, when the safety of the team comes first. The safety of our entire team, your mentors, hmm, would you?" he asked him and he and Tru Veld paled at that.
"Well let me tell you, I would never lie on something this serious right now, they wanted me to tell the truth I would do so immediately. Screw graduating early, I am telling the truth whether you want me to or not, so if I'm with your mentors, then I am with the council. And that's a compliment, not an insult, then so be it, boys." he said and they swallowed hard at that and the rest of their clan crossed their arms at that remark sternly.
"And why do I want to leave mother and Siri this fast after getting chosen when I was 12, no I want the entire 14 to 15 years with my big sister and mother Jedi, if I belonged to Obi-wan and father, same thing, I want the entire 14 to 15 years." he said and the duo both swallowed hard at that. "A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind, commitment: to your team and partner unit, the most serious mind."
"You must commit 100% to your partnership, you can't just commit then take it back doesn't work like that, and you make that choice. You make it for the rest of us that never say anything, remember that." he said and Ferus swallowed hard at that. "There point mine is exactly Annie, just what saying I am, make choice, and make choice for those standing silent at your shoulder." Yoda said to that gently at that remark and he smiled.
"So call me a failure as a Jedi, look who's talking I follow the code, you don't see me leaving my mentors after only two missions?" he said sternly at that as he looked at him. "You don't see me disobeying orders, I made a commitment to my team, my Mentor, I love my mentor, I never want to leave his side. So what's the deal, I heard they ditched you and you ditched the Jedi, but call me a failure as a Jedi, you don't see me doing training interference."
"You don't see me listening to a personal conversation between you and your mentor, you don't see me trying to show off to the council or Qui-Gon. Let alone Obi-wan, so you see, call me a traitor and failure as a Jedi, I never did anything to break my oath to the duo, but the me talking to you now. Is the me from 36 years into the future, and I made a mistake, but my non force sensitive counterpart now, is Nield, who is Obi-wan's best friend."
"When on Melida/Daan, but you know what, you created a monster, when you never told the quartet his lightsaber was broken, and I broke at 23. I broke finally after I learned my wife was pregnant with my children now, but you know what: you must have the deepest commitment. The most serious mind, I have both, but when you make a decision, you make it for the ones not saying anything, so you leave Obi-wan, and the Jedi and you disgrace us."
"Our commitment to our teams, your choice casts into question the commitment of all padawan learner here now, how can they trust us. After it happened twice in 15 years exactly, how, how can they trust you not to do it again exactly, if you go to Rutan and Senali. You are dealing with everything they did when Obi-wan was 13, how exactly, Ferus, how now?" Anakin said and the other boy paled at that as he ended the reprimand at that remark then.
As he crouched in front of Yoda and smiled at him. "Taught me well Master, I meant it, made one mistake, but my decision is the adult version to Melida/Daan and I made a mistake. Said one I can never take back. But I can spend six months under probation we fix what went wrong, make it stronger then before. I know nothing I say here it can take back what I done, but I want a second chance to fix this, I love you, and I'm sorry for leaving you."
"Master, I made a mistake from that time-line, I learn from it and I move on, but you got to me first, and here we are now, I'm never leaving you again." he said and Yoda smiled proudly as he pressed his forehead to his, and Anakin smiled. "I love you master." he said and Yoda smiled gently. "Love you too, padawan mine." he said and he smiled gently as Luke hid a smile as he now saw what his father meant with him then gently at that remark.
As he hugged him gently and the Jedi grandmaster hugged him gently at that as he pressed his forehead to his and Anakin closed his eyes gently and then smiled softly at him then, before he turned to the rest of the council gently as he looked at Mace, Agen, Saesee, Kit and Shaak Tii. "Why look at them, dad?" Leia asked and he sighed as he looked down and the quintet nodded as they got it then as Mace answered that question then.
"We were here at the time of the purge, during the war, if our knights were not on mission, then we went in, but if I'm reading this right at the moment here. Then with Obi-wan, Master Ki, Stass, Plo and Coleman were in the field, that left Shaak Tii, Agen, Kit, Saesee and me here with him, before Sidious got to him. And finally, so we're the ones he has to face now." he said and they nodded in shock to that as Anakin finished that sentence then gently.
"And this was between us, Obi-wan was in the field along with Master, Plo Koon, Stass, Ki and Colemona Kcaj, but the council is 12 members here. I was admitted to the council at the time this happened, the youngest of us, as such right now, it's a matter of me needing to fix this with my mentors. I was in many ways still a padawan, I was being trained and then lead astray, and I did something I can never take back, in our original time-line here now."
"But this is what your godfather felt after returning after Cerasi was knocked into a coma." he said and she nodded. "But I have to say this, what happened it can not be undone, but in this time-line, I have to fix this, as to that now, Masters Windu, Tii, Fisto, Tiin and Kolar. I know what I did then cast doubt of my commitment to Obi-wan and to you, but I don't wish to be taken back, I wish for probation, a second chance." he said and they nodded gently.
"And it will be granted, I know this was a case of desperation, but six months probation and we fix what went wrong." Mace said to him and he nodded to him and he bowed to him and they smiled gently at the humility in him as they saw what had happened scarred him for life. "Things change and it takes time to repair, but what was broken can be repaired and made more valuable then ever." he said and they smiled softly at the remark then.
"And there's the you I remember from 17 to 23, I'm glad you're back, and we try again, my brother." Obi-wan said and he bowed to him as he gave him a hug and he tightened his arms around him gently at that. "I think this proves it now, but I'm you as a youngling Obi-wan, but I'm you as you spent several months in the real world. And Ferus is you after you came back, but not taken back, probation, repair things." he said softly and Obi-wan nodded gently.
"A second chance for us, and for me with them, we repair the damage done, you know me better then I know myself now Obi-wan, I'm not letting go. But they created a monster and Sidious helped it along right now, but I know sorry can not take back what I did, but I can fix what went wrong. We fix our relationship, and I stay at your side for the following 17 years now." he said and Obi-wan nodded as he hugged him tightly as they sighed in relief then.
"I love you, my brother." he said to him and he said it into his ear. "I love you too, my brother." he said as he felt him bury his head his shoulder then gently as he rubbed his. "There is no taking this back you two, were it not for you, he would not have changed at all." Mace said to Ferus and Tru and they paled at his remark then. "He can't help that he's this powerful, but we made 15 changes in a week, and here we are." Stass said sternly to them at this.
"And I'm never leaving my unit, or my partner unit, I love my sister and mother Jedi, I am never leaving either of them, I'm happy. But I'm never leaving the girls, never lying on something this serious, sure I'm not perfect, but I am perfect for the girls, I understand. But the lightsaber, never holding it back, but I'm a traitor to him and his accomplice, that's a compliment, I'm not lying, ever." he told them and Yoda and he nodded smiling proudly at his remark.
"You're asking me to lie, not going to happen, it's wrong you two, I will not lie to save this team!" he snapped at the duo as Darra crossed her arms at this as she, Obi-wan, Soara, Siri and Ry stood together. "I have a duty to the truth, now if you don't have the courage to go to the quartet and tell them it's broken, you don't deserve to carry that lightsaber." he snapped and they paled at that as that did it for the council as they smiled proudly at that.
"And that is just what I want to hear from you padawan, you tell the truth immediately and your friendships be damned." Mace said proudly and he bowed to him and with a gentle smile on his face. "With the council and the quartet, even the sextet and Darra, it's the straight and narrow, with you it's temptation, so you don't like it. Said it now, that I chose them over you, get over it you guys, my partnership comes first over the second one."
"So if I was partnered with the girls and Siri is with me, and you and the guys, both teams arrive, and my first partnership is to Soara and Darra, and never mind you, and sorry big brothers, no offense." he said and Obi-wan and Ry both nodded. "It's fine, and you're right your loyalty to your current partnership comes first over the second one that arrives." Obi-wan said for both of them and Qui-Gon and Tiana nodded in agreement gently.
"Indeed it's fine, your loyalty is to the girls first over us, we understand this and that's another test passed now, you passed every test in theory there is before the practical starts now, Annie." Tiana said to him and he nodded to her gently at that. "Uh guys, Masters, don't look now, but he, that's Ferus, is jealous you're able to connect to us this fast." Tahiri Kaneberrie said to them and they nodded as they and Corran, and the trio turned to Ferus.
"What jealous, as he knows what the masters want without showing off?" Lana started to say and they all jerked at that, before they felt several pulses and the blast knocked everyone to the floor at that. "Whoa, what the heck was that?" Lando asked as Obi-wan straightened as he looked at Luke. "That's like the one that hit us, when he finally said what had to be said, he's back but then this means..." Luke started to say and the council all nodded.
"Yes it is, your us, ended up in our younger bodies guys!" Mace said as he straightened as he looked at Anakin and put his hand on his shoulder gently as Yoda said it for all of them. "Here it comes and indeed correct Mace is Padawans, and Luke, you're me I am now." Yoda said and the quintet froze up. "You got to be kidding me, you too?" Han said in shock and they all nodded. "Looks like the force was waiting for this." Damon said to him and he nodded.
"That and my confession what I had to say, before we repair what went wrong and when I did, the force threw my version straight back in these bodies. But it threw us into our younger bodies, we're adults in our young adult to full adult bodies, but my version are all 39 to 53 in the human to humanoid members. Of the Jedi and 864 in Master Yoda, your version, my version is in our younger bodies now." Anakin said and the seven nodded in shock to that.
"Everything said when they arrived, we remember everything now, and that's definitely the you I remember when you were a youngling to 23 years old." Mace said to him and he nodded. "And we fixed what went wrong in our meeting and you just saved me yourselves Mace, it's done, and you win now, I'm back. The chosen one is back and he will pay, but we play it smart, give it 36 years, he's mine." he said and the council nodded to him gently at that.
"You guys are not as young as you used to be, but he's 100 in 36 years, so leave him to me, this would be much easier if we were much younger. Case in point is my own padawan, my son is the said padawan, and I trained him since he was 12, but 11 years of training, he's a Soresu, but he's green. He can only handle so much before he unloads that anger into the fight, as he saw what Yoda meant at the time." he said and the council nodded to him.
"So though part of two teams, you trained him in the way Qui-Gon, Adi and I trained you and you created a starter lightsaber for him, before he created his own?" he asked and Anakin nodded to him. "Yes Master, that's just what I mean, Vaapad was meant for this reason exactly, we throw our anger and hate into the lightsaber. And let it out, and without crossing the line completely, but I am not guardian, but a Master Guardian, I always was."
"Everyone here, everyone we lost, back in our younger bodies?" he asked, looking between the council to his clan, and the rest of the Jedi that knew and remembered what happened to him and they nodded to him. "Yes Anakin, we're all here, and we're back." Shaak Tii said to him and he nodded. "You know what happened and how it happened, but the truth is all there spoken in my voice, your words in my voice now." he said and they all nodded to him.
"Indeed our explanation in your voice now, I never lied to you Luke, your father confirmed everything I told you now." Obi-wan said to him and he nodded to that. "Indeed son, everything your godfather and Master told you, it's all true, but Vader betrayed me, he betrayed everything I stand for. Killing me, he knocked me so far into a coma, I might as well be dead, but your scream that woke me up." Anakin told him and Mace finished it then.
"Son, boys, baby, but everything Anakin told you is true, it all happened exactly as he described." Mace said for him and they nodded in shock to that news as Obi-wan said it to him. "So that's my you when I knew you Master Yoda?" Chewie asked and he nodded. "Luke, Chewie, Han, it's me, boys." Obi-wan said and they smiled in delight. "Uncle Ben?!" Luke and Leia shouted out together and he nodded as the twins moved to him and hugged him tightly.
