Also this is covering his life leading into Rogue Planet, As Luke and Leia see Anakin's life in Action of what he and Obi-wan used to tell them. As he stays a Jedi and becomes everything Yoda and Obi-wan explained to Luke. In the fabication to what happened to him, before Vader was born now.
Chapter 5: Return Of The Jedi V: The Truth Comes Out V
"Relieved I am that tell us this, you are, so my star pupils as my best team you are, but you, Qui-Gon and Obi-wan, my prize pupils that once thought once go to the darkside. Never come back you can, and instead Light frees you, and come home to me, you do." he said and Anakin nodded. "I just changed the course of history by said immediate rejection, but Father is alive, I save the others that started said downward spiral, he's done." he said and they all nodded then.
"So said change results in you becoming our prize pupil and golden child and showing the precise point of everything we, as the masters, tell your peers?" Mace asked and he nodded to him. "Your biggest lessons and get ready you're about to suffer a second betrayal for the second time in 15 years, only it's not me, but said so called perfect padawan. But we depend on each other for our very lives, without complete trust the bond shatters." he said and he nodded then.
"And takes time to heal it does and even then, will never be the same again, your brother and father, fixed it and stronger grew, it did. But twice in 15 years, too much this is, so what would you do, if return to where this betrayal is, or need I ask?" Yoda asked and he nodded. "Here we go again, alright Annie, let me have it, what would you do." Mace asked and he smiled. "After said first, I would get on the line with both of you, and ask for permission on said request now."
"Said is the very last mission I do for them, before I come home and ask for probation, and repair the damage done by said first violation. But I would give them a fighting chance after that I need to be here with you, to get my scales balanced out. All I need is time and distance, time for reflection, I am a Jedi, everything I found there. I already got it, my place is here at your sides, always now." he said and Mace, Kit, Ki and Yoda nodded in approval his remark gently.
"Same exact argument in the first area, but Ferus had the debate after the quartet realized what he done, after finishing the heating up in the engines, the pain and disappointment. It shot through the link, meaning despite your debating this all night, they wouldn't budge." he said and Tiana closed her eyes as Damon said it for all of them. "You had your orders, you had to stay, but we left you our spare crystals, a healing crystal, stay linked." he said and he nodded to him.
"Yeah, Father's passing my river stone to me, you your crystals and one of the crystals of fire, the last thing to do was keep our link firmly in place. As our relationship now, it was so strong, that to you, I was cub, well liked, strong bond. But if I had a young adult equal, my counterpart is the son of the ship healer and her friends are the ship high council. But first born cub, knew the right answers to give, right actions to take, so ask first." he said and they nodded gently.
"And to quote you now after being stirred by going back there a second time, but the situation is heart breaking yes and will be difficult to walk away from. But walk away we must, everything we thought we found there, we have already, we are Jedi. All we need is distance and time for reflection now." he said and Mace smiled proudly then. "And my place is at your side, I have a life already, my place is with you, deepest commitment." he said and Yoda smiled proudly then.
"And just what want to hear from you, I do, Jedi you are, all you need, distance and reflection, all you need now, everything found there you did, have already, you do." Yoda said and Obi-wan nodded, seeing he was a different version of him and then saw it. "Oh force, he's me when my non force sensitive side took hold Master, he's me at 9, borderline 10." he said and Mace nodded gently. "And perfect match in normal training for you, he is." Yoda said and Mace nodded to that.
"And am I going to have to give that reprimand, the one I gave your brother, after he tried to get involved without asking, to your rival if said rival is who I am thinking here?" Mace asked him and he nodded. "Yeah it's Ferus, I knew the right actions to take, right questions to ask, he was sick of hearing my name every time he turns around, Brazen with him." he told him and he nodded. "It's you and Bruck all over again, Brother." he added and the quintet nodded sternly.
"By that you mean you and Brazen?" Soara said and he nodded. "Ferus was more of a passive aggressive version of Aalto, Tru with him, Brazen was Bruck in his entirety. But though Darra was with me, they kidnapped Tahiri and tried to do the same thing, the lake." he said and Obi-wan nodded. "Do I even want to know how much energy you drained, in trying to do everything yourself, though clearly not up to this?" Tiana said and he sighed and they nodded with a sigh.
"So your however many year old mind is inside this body, how old are you in your mental present?" Sifo Dyas asked him and he explained that. "I'm 50, my age group are 50 to 53, the quartet and their class are all 64 to 66 and your's. Your's is in your 90's and Father's are all in their 80's now." he said and the group nodded in amazement. "So you just fixed it so completely we got him, before his plan bears fruit now." Mace said and he nodded and he smiled sternly.
"Vader is the side of me that resented leaving mom behind, but my calling out to you, the good in me over came him now, and our bond is so deep. That nothing will ever get between us, you're my family I love you, I am a Jedi, always." he said and Mace nodded as he ran his hand through his hair and Anakin pressed his forehead to his to finish the connection. "As I said, want my student, then through me, you will go, Sidious, away from him you stay, starting now."
"My padawan he is, my pride, so want my padawan, then through me, you will go, but war this is between us and when time comes, meet your end by my padawan, you will." Yoda said with a stern smile and Anakin nodded sternly smiling. "No kidding, he did enough damage to our lives and he's the catalyst for everyone we lost, he got Zan Arbor out of jail. Xanatos, our no name and my getting trapped out there, again, all him, Master." he said and Yoda nodded sternly then.
"Zan Arbor, Xanatos, our no name, you mean all of that was him 12 years ago, Tahl!" Mace said and Anakin nodded. "Yeah he's done enough damage to us, but this means war, and instead of just my kids and their quintet coming here. My 50 year old memories get thrown back today, so I can explain everything, him and his unexpected accomplices. But your so called perfect padawan only added fuel to the fire, if Father had been killed here." he said and they all nodded.
"You're kidding, your adult memories just ended up in your near 10 year old body?" Soara asked and he nodded to her. "I can tell you exactly what you need to know, but the old fool never realized I get it back now, and my warning becomes a threat. I just did exactly as he was afraid of and turned him right into you, Master Yoda." he said and the council smiled in relief. "But to explain this gently was ever since the war ended his leadership was supposed to end."
"Master, before you go barging in there with him just elected right now, it's treason, to try and arrest a government representative. He wants you to do just that, we bide our time, till he's too old to fight and his only weapon is force lightning. So from 20 to 23, it's all self fullfilling prophecy starting now, to answer said questions my twins, son-in-law and their friends had." he said and Yoda nodded. "Very well, test of strength in 13 years then." he said and Mace nodded.
"Agreed, we wait till you're 23 and then do two tests of strength in his force connection of how powerful he really is now and then wait 23 years and we leave him to your 46 year old self now." Mace said and Kit, Plo and Ki nodded in agreement. "Agreed, we do that." Obi-wan said for all of them. "We're both part of the council anyway brother, unanimous vote, with the war council, said is us 7, Stass, Agen, Coleman, Saesee and Shaak Tii." he said and they all nodded.
"What's that considered exactly?" Mace asked and he nodded with a bemused smile. "We're the Clone Wars council, I got added just before the purge when my alter ego cracked finally." he asked and Mace nodded. "We lost 6 members of our current council and had to fill in the gaps, but our Zabrak is a Night-brother, when we thought we got rid of him. That he came back in 10 to 14 years now, before you killed him, before he went for my son next, on Tatooine now."
"But he's 48, you're 38, barring 39 by the time that happened, anyway, with my adult memories in this body, you can use this to your own advantage and stop him finally." he said and Yoda nodded. "Your over confidence in the darkside is your weakness, your highness, but my brother has been playing you, all this time, but it won't be me that gets you in the end. But my brother, so try hard, because we will destroy your kind in the end." Obi-wan said and Anakin nodded.
"But the mystery was even deeper then you thought, starting with the blockade, seems strange that the Sith return just as there was a dispute in the senate. And at the same time you find me and he offers a hand in friendship, choosing my unit, for the biggest events. Now of your childhood as a junior, borderline senior padawan, on the edge of graduation to knight. Then at the same time there is a debate on a creation of an army, we get chosen for protection duty."
"And 7 months later into said war, my unit once again gets chosen for a rescue mission, said now involving Jabba's family." he said and Mace crossed his arms sternly. "That's suspicious alright, alright, my lord what is this all about, what are you after here. That you keep choosing my star team and pupils for dangerous missions, 2 involving the very same young woman. My youngest loves and is engaged to as of right now." he asked as he and Yoda exchanged looks.
"At the start of the war, but never stopped and we were preparing to call a re-trial, reason being is everything focused on me was up for debate here. To you and Master, it seemed strange that why does he keep picking me for something right now. Why the interest in me, what is he really up to after he chose me to be his representative on the council." he said and they all nodded. "Indeed, suspicious that is, very suspicious." Yoda said slowly and Mace nodded in agreement.
"And it gets better, but directly after telling me where his droid leader was he dragged up a Sith legend, of the very power you gave me with no strings attached. So question, how does he know that story, and when I'm guilt ridden after having to kill a helpless victim. So why do I keep going to Padme right now?" he asked and Mace crossed his arms. "It's a trap, give you what you want, you take it and you're his now." Ki said slowly and Anakin nodded to him gently.
"But every time I was prepared to tell you that she's pregnant, something keeps delaying it till Master and Obi-wan are off the capitol, you two, Kit, Mace, are here. Along with Saesee and Agen, me and Shaak Tii and now the bomb gets dropped here. And as he said he knows the power of the force, so question: how does he know that?" he asked and Mace nodded sternly. "He knows, because he's the Sithmaster, the one we spent 4 years looking for here right now."
"Oh gods no, your timer just ended right now, I had to stabilize your scales and now." he said in shocked fury and Anakin nodded and he, Obi-wan and Yoda exchanged furious looks. "Bingo, the said look of looking like a hive of fever wasps hatched in my mind right now. Was really my remission just ended, if you didn't cut my alter ego out of me, I was going to die. As my alter ego replaced me now." he said and the council nodded in fury at the reveal then sternly then.
"Yes and now I'm furious right now, all this time searching for our Zabrak's mentor, he's been standing right in front of us." Mace said sternly then and Anakin nodded gently. "And too late for that, that is, as gave you what you wanted we did and spend 13 years training in that. As cut alter ego out by the roots we do and cloned and walking around in the flesh he is now." Yoda said and he nodded. "So we know what he is now." Mace said in relief and he nodded gently.
As Anakin removed the adult lightsaber from his belt and passed it to him like he was handling a snake and they nodded. "He never expected me to see the meaning behind his words right now at the time, but he and our Sith. They are one and the same, but his lightsaber though hidden by his robes, I felt a serious darkside vibe to him. One that allowed me to pinpoint, just where the lightsaber was and yank it out of his robes now."
" But he knew he force yanked it out of my hand and he was screwed now with you guys, as he's out numbered and second he's too old. So how does he know about the powers of the force, why say we will watch my career with great interest. If there was not a double meaning in said words, 'he' 'we'?" he asked and Mace and Adi crossed their arms. "It could be he's either in league with our Zabrak's mentor or he is our Zabrak's mentor."
"We see what you're saying and you're right on every count, if he is our Sithmaster he's dangerous and we're not letting him anywhere near you." Ki said for all of them and the young trio nodded sternly in agreement. "Well he never expected that mental com-link call to mean the difference between victory and defeat. Even before my adult memories got shot back into this body, I simply had a choice to make and I chose you now, Master."
"And not when you told me I had what I needed already at my disposal, as father did that one." he said and the council nodded. "He's too late, I told you Qui-Gon studied that skill, we had a mental conference call, and you give us enough. That we can do this easily, you're our padawan, and he has to find himself a new apprentice. Well the game is over right now, you Sith scum, I win." Mace said sternly and Anakin nodded gently then.
"Yeah, but these stories right here, are the fight between my kids and Sidious, or to every non Jedi, Chancellor Palpatine." he said pointing at three specific books and they nodded, as they put them in order. "The storyline from now to these was focused on my life, my origin story, in these of how I went from how you see me to this. Currently where these come from are still working on the conclusion, and they drag you into it now, these stories are basically gave our lives."
"This series, it gave Obi-wan's life leading into when you met me, this next pile focuses on the time from now to when we got back together with Padme now. And the concluding chapter is still being written right now." he said and Mace and Adi nodded gently. "Going to be a long 13 years right now in this case, so we make one change and everything else. Now, changes in the process." Mace said and Anakin nodded as he said it with a sigh, knowing he wouldn't like this.
"In which case now, there's a matter that needs to be put on the table, before we change the future to save the Jedi, in your words, the Jedi are not gone. And not if I have anything to say about it, but Master, though you helped me give direct orders to the Twins. Just say I found the twins when they were 5, I change back 5 years after turning, or age 10. Age 14, are you going to give it the possibility I could change back, or continue holding onto this belief right now."
"Because do that, you're only alienating my family, Padme, if she was still alive and survived the near miscarriage, and the twins, my son-in-law and his friends further. Till they see you as the bad guy, and decide being a Grey Jedi is better right now then the frigidity. Of the code, till your associate, and it was Bail Organa by the way, till they decide to just disown you as friends, family?" he asked, looking between them then and Obi-wan felt his heart sink at the question.
"So to your family, they had enough of whoever pretending you could never change back, till something causes the twins to renounce their Jedi heritage. Because the duo and whoever it is sees you and Vader and not as two sides of the same man, but one and the same?" Mace said sternly and he nodded. "Yeah but this is a piece you and the rest of the council would never agree with anyway now, but how am I to be blamed for the destruction of the Jedi here now."
"When our common enemy is the Sithmaster that orchestrated this entire thing?" he asked and the 10 crossed their arms and Yoda swallowed hard at that. "Are you telling me that instead of trying to take you alive to lock up Andy, they tried to kill you?" Ki said slowly and he nodded and they nodded in stern fury at that. "With you just giving your alter ego a name, we call him by name starting now, but Andy helped the Sithmaster, he killed our clones here as well now."
"He helped Sidious hunt down and destroy the Jedi, that it was not you, it wasn't you who cut my wrist off, it wasn't you who killed his accomplice, prior to you. It was never you that wiped out what was left of our clones, it was never you, but we said this a few hundred times. This doesn't just happen all at once, it takes hundreds of traumas before the final crash here. The you we know, currently the boy and later the young man we raised would never do this."
"This is the you we know, the you we raised, our padawan, son, brother and best friend, losing you is bad enough already, but both of you at once, I can't even take the consideration." Mace said gently and Anakin pressed his forehead to his and he closed his eyes then. Before feeling his heart tear and pulling him into a hug and he tightened his arms around his shoulders then. "Alright we're talking about this right now, young man, Master." Tiana said sternly at this news.
"Master, we said this a few hundred times, the reason Qui' never wanted to be on the council, is for this reason exactly, he's not so frigid about it. But we're supposed to guide our padawans, until they reach the level to where they're ready to fully grown Jedi themselves. Or was this…., Master was this because you decided to, with him as a member of the council. To handle this yourselves and then claim Vader killed him, after a close call?" Adi said and he swallowed hard.
"I know, to explain this exactly in a way you can understand, and you're not going to like this, but Master Yoda, instead of putting the blame on said person who turned. Maybe you should take responsibility for your own decisions right now, this was why everyone was losing faith. In us, before my downfall, in that alternate reality." Anakin said and Yoda jerked at that. "Obi-wan, you're just as responsible, it's not my fault you never took action last week, you allowed this."
"You allowed me to be taken out from under your watchful eye and when the truth comes out, we been tricked, it's too late and the order is wiped out." he said and Obi-wan swallowed hard. "Being a mentor means you're solely responsible for your padawan, but your arrogance, at thinking you could be like Father, like Master, his arrogance at never changing the code. That became your downfall, and my destruction." he said and the trio crossed their arms then at that.
"Did any of us try to talk some sense into you, before you were forced into making that decision?" Damon asked and he nodded. "One and after Sidious slaughtered his quartet, I arrived in time and then realized he wanted this." he said and Tiana nodded sternly. "We only have 4 Master Guardians in this order, and the two that could have are gone, that left one. And a case of a power struggle, if said word was shouted out I had what I needed already now."
"Said that was already in your hands, I would have killed him myself, and you win, and instead Vader overwhelmed my control and then did it." he said and they nodded slowly as Mace exchanged looks with Kit at that remark and news. "Based on that description said one is me, after I realized your scales were being weighed down to turning. If I didn't destroy the temptation, I was going to lose you right then." Mace said and Anakin nodded to confirm that.
"To give a definition to where this could lead, if you never change your ways now, and before she's pregnant with my children, after a while they start seeing you as the bad guy. Because you, in a way, created a monster." he said and Mace crossed his arms. "And you don't mean me when you say that, but Master and Obi-wan, alright let me have it, why exactly?" he asked and Anakin sighed as he answered him then gently as he looked between them sternly then at this.
"It's because Padme blames them for this, if they never dealt with this sooner, I never would have crashed, further back, if you allowed me to check on mom. She would still be alive, if we stopped the mission to Korriban, Darra would still be alive. For Owen, he thought I should have been sent to stay with Padme and not gotten involved in the arrest." he said and Mace nodded. "And I agree with that, if we told you, you already had the power at your disposal right now."
"Then we could have set this to whatever happened in our new future and you're split in two." Kit said and Mace nodded. "Me too." Damon said and Ki, Tiana and Sifo nodded in agreement. "So basically if we slowed this down and talked about this first, you're split in two and your alter ego is now your twin brother turned to the darkside?" Kit said and he nodded. "Exactly, they never see this coming till it was too late, but it got worse." he said and Tiana covered her eyes.
"By actually trying assassination, he called treason, but for me and you're going to kill him when I say this, only I knew what happened here and why. That, if I never went with his purge, he was exposing us, Padme and me to the republic. We married, and she's pregnant with my children, a scandal, only I know what happened when you guys, Saesee and Agen tried it." he said and they both nodded. "Blackmail, Annie?" Tiana said and he nodded with a sigh then.
"Blackmail, I was with Mace when he tried to kill Sidious, but the trio, that's Saesee, Agen and Kit were dead, I had two choices, join with him. Or he was going to claim I was the one that killed Mace and the others and blab that I was married to Padme. Effectively turning us into a scandal, I was disgraced and she and I became outcasts for a secret marriage." he said and they went white. "That and supposedly having children out of wedlock." Mace said slowly in response.
"Do I even want to know the other reason for why everyone would see the duo as the bad guys or why Vader would see the Jedi as evil. After we talked about this over the mental com-line, after you shouted out to me right now?" Adi asked and he nodded, sighing. "Well think about it, what do your colors really say, you're a sentinel and Siri's a free spirit. I'm Mace's color, red in my heart and a guardian, by this point and you're gone, so…" he said and she nodded gently.
"Giving you the light to see your way out of said tunnel and she gave you the strength to resist the temptation, no us and you gave up. Your soul was beaten black and blue, you were exhausted, physically, mentally and emotionally. And taking this next blow emotionally, you resigned yourself to what was coming." she said and Soara felt her heart break at that. "Who of us was gone by this point, baby?" she said, praying she and Ry weren't one of said lost friends.
"You three were dead, you two and Siri, Mother, and 3/4's of my clan, Darra was killed the year before mom was, I was losing you one by one here, out of desperation. Vader lost his mind out of desperation, but trying this, I resigned myself to what was coming. Praying you could cut the tumor out of me, I was dying, my remission was over, my timer was up." he said and she wiped the tears off her face then as he said it finally then gently at that remark to Yoda then.
"Yes and I call that a very good reason to be ticked off right now, everyone that knew the real you, as a non force sensitive, your parents, Owen and Beru. Your home clan and their own parents, the Queen and her entourage now, they know and understand this. And knew you never would have given up, you would never hurt a child here, nor would you ever. In truth had gone to the darkside, unless there was no other choice." Mace said and Yoda felt his heart sink.
"Master you understand the Grey Jedi code: There is no light without dark, no dark without light, there is no darkside or lightside, there is only the force. There is no good or evil, there is only balance, the balance keeps me together, basically meaning we're only human. For those of us who are human, the galaxy is not made up of Jedi and Sith, we all have good and evil. In us, but the part we choose to act on, is what's most important, that's who we are really are here now."
"Father's paraphrase really meant here you're seeing this clearly enough the two can be balanced, but dad would agree with him when I say this. But if you want me to teach the returned former Dark Jedi and Sith and use my knowledge. You better give a more convincing argument without digging that knife further into my heart. You condemned me for murdering younglings, was this punishment, for going against you in truth, have me live with the guilt."
"You ever do this to Dooku or Xanatos when they turned on you, Bruck, not withstanding he was killed by his own stupidity, Dooku because he lost Father. What about Xanatos, you ever stab them in the heart, not withstanding they died, before coming back from the darkside?" He asked and Yoda felt it slam into his heart. "Not fair that is, different that is?" he said sternly and Adi crossed her arms. "How exactly, Master, how is it different?" she said and he froze up at that.
"Because if we had any chance of changing him back, it's after he lost all four limbs and then we mentally arrest Vader and lock him up, as our version is in recovery. And Vader is walking around in the flesh after Sidious cloned him right now." Winna said and he swallowed hard, realizing he never thought of that. "As the story Obi-wan tells Light is true, Vader betrayed and nearly murdered his father, and we make it so, by having him cloned and then slam the door."
"On his mental prison shut, Anakin survived the fight, but just barely, but he's in surgery to grow back his arms and legs." Mace added and they both paled, realizing they put too much faith in the prophecy, not understanding what it really meant. "And now that Anakin gave the definition to said prophecy, and where the future leads we are doing just that. But he never turned on us, Vader did, he never killed us or destroyed the order, Vader did, not his fault."
"If I'm right my future self tried to convince him not to listen, but he was being bombarded, if we told him this he had it already. We never would have lost him at all right now, as he avenges us, as the Jedi council." Mace said sternly and he swallowed. "That was the point, but Vader betrayed us, Vader nearly killed my entire family, Vader killed the younglings. On the one hand is me: Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi and on the other is Darth Vader, so why blame me for this."
"Or was this because I'm a member of the council, and you decided to exact justice on one of your own council members?" Anakin said and he closed his mouth at that, realizing he had no excuse that he or Obi-wan could give that would not be considered as cold blooded cruelty. In the eyes of the trio, both age groups, Mace, Winna and the rest of their version of the council. "That's right Master, there is no excuse in our eyes." Damon said as he crossed his arm then.
"There is no excuse for this, we're human, but if the Sith killed our padawans, and we see the difference, his alter ego is not him, this is our version, Vader is Sidious's version. But were you ignoring the fact he was just blackmailed as an excuse to destroy the Sith. That prophecy was his, there are so many ways that prophecy could be interpreted here. And the one that Sidious chose lead to our annihilation by my hands possibly." Mace said and Yoda swallowed hard then.
"To you this is a fitting punishment, but to every non force sensitive, my family, our friends and allies, this is the cruelest thing you could ever do to me." he said and Damon pulled him into his chest and Yoda swallowed at that and the reaction. "And this directly after our time comes to an end, you want him to suffer, because you never stopped this. And when you had the chance right now, you call yourselves Jedi, this is Sith behavior." Tiana growled and he went white then.
"Adi's dead, Siri, Mace, I think that was the key, only they could stabilize his scales, but he only meant to stop him from killing him, so we tell you we had proof. He never meant for Mace to be killed and this was blackmail, I think he paged me and if he did. He was giving us a headstart to save lives, but your arrogance is the reason we lost him. You're just digging the blade deeper, till his family, the Lars, decide they want nothing to do with us?" Winna said and he swallowed.
"You really think we would condone this cruelty, you allowed him to be taken out from under your control, you allowed him to be destroyed and just when it's close. You nearly have him killed, and he's trapped living alone, not knowing his babies, his wife. If she survives that miscarriage, are alive, you are a Sith for this behavior of malice and cruelty, Master!" Tiana growled and he felt that slam into his heart in shock and the condemnation in her and Damon.
"Could be 5 to 10, even 14, trying is going to reverse their thinking, the Jedi are evil, being Grey Jedi is good, safe." Anakin said and they nodded in shock. "Look at me, this is me at my current age, but why did I try to hide a few things from you. Why was Mace scared to leave me alone with 'him', he was all I had right now, but trying to do this. You never see it coming, but you let him take me away from you and when you saw me, you tried to kill me, but when that now."
"In truth didn't work, you never, not once considered my kids could be giving me the strength to fight back, it was only a few days, if I never saw you standing right behind her. She could have convinced me to return, it ends as fast as it begins, we bide our time and everyone is alive. And instead every Jedi is put to death, aside from Vima, Damon, Tiana, Thracia even Nejaa. Now why is that exactly right now?" he asked and the duo swallowed hard at that remark then.
"Oh gods, to them, it's like you're, they're, trying to hold onto your, their, beliefs, that once someone turned, you can't change back, but it took 23 years to change back because of….?!" Damon said and he nodded. "Damon you have a family, as does Vima, Thracia, Kit, Ki, Nejaa, to you this is simple, but what are your thoughts if all of you saw me with my family. All aggressive behavior stops, my appearance changes back, and my lightsaber changes to purple finally."
"To you, and Tiana, this means what, you know I changed, and you're living on the ship, my flag ship with us, you're seeing in action how much the me you know is returning?" he asked and the trio crossed their arms. "We're Jedi, mind control never works on us, the you we knew and raised, after losing our cubs is showing again. As we lost the girls and my son to Sidious, but we get you back, the relief is more then enough, as we watch and observe for months now."
"You're so close to being freed, but you need to let go of that anger once you do and you're you again finally, you're you again, the love and trust. Of friends and family, it's working you are so close to being free, that it's a relapse, if they do not let this go." Tiana said and he nodded. "The love of a mother, or in this case aunt, who was maternal figure in training. And if Mother wasn't here?" he asked and she looked down, before looking into his eyes gently at his question then.
"And I took her place as you recovered, Shmi was gone, as was Adi, that leaves me now and, frankly, I think that Master and Obi-wan should harbor some responsibility here. They allowed you to be yanked out from under their trust and care, and what happens here. We lose you and the galaxy plunges into sum years of darkness, but is that the punishment. What you meted out for him, you're going to force him to relive the most traumatizing moments of his life here."
"You're going to have to do a better job then this to convince Damon, Nejaa, Thracia, Vima and me about getting him to be a teacher to resist that pull." she said and Yoda blanched, realizing he forgot she was also a parent then. "You forgot I have a family of my own now, and Ry' is like my 23 year old son?" she asked and he nodded and she nodded. "Annie is what my baby was like at going on 10 in truth, but like Thracia, Vima and the guys I understand perfectly here."
"Once retired from the field we are no longer Jedi, and we live out our lives, Noor already proved it, before Zan Arbor got her hands on him. In truth, is that he doesn't need that PTSD hanging over him for years to come. You're almost there, but continue with the delusion now, it's just holding you back. Are they trying to keep you like that, to give them a reason to kill you, keep you on the edge of the abyss?" Tiana asked and the duo jerked at her remark in shock then.
"Not serious you are, Tiana?!" Yoda said in shock and she said it sternly. "Why not, we said it a hundred times, this just doesn't happen all at once, the him I see here. Suffered a skim, but came back as fast as he turned right now, not getting trapped like that now. He came back, my cub padawan, but seriously right now in truth Master, being grandmaster. That has gone right to your head, do we need to relieve you of duty?" she asked and he swallowed hard then to that.
Realizing his own knights of Qui-Gon's age group had enough of his arrogance. "And now I know why Qui-Gon keeps defying you directly, this attitude of your's has every Jedi. Our and Dooku's age seeing you as beyond arrogant." Mace said sternly and he swallowed hard. "As for you young man, you remember when you defied us by actually getting involved. And in the war on Melida/Daan, when we told you this is not our fight?" Adi added sternly and Obi-wan paled.
"This attitude of your's, in both your cases will get you in trouble, but Anakin is a Master Guardian and with that. Baby, exactly what caused you, now, to be trapped for sum years now?" she asked him gently then. "That would be because Master sent him to kill me, they took it upon themselves as the supposed last of the council. To try and do their own brand of justice, supposedly thinking what I was as me, Jedi me, they trained them to think we're the same."
"The same person, I could never turn back." he told him and they nodded in shocked disgust. "Then I see why everyone outside of us saw this as though Yoda and Obi-wan created a monster right now, and why they thought of us as evil. They never, not once, thought you could change back, and till Luke pulls it off, but by then. You been thinking your entire family is dead, and then get the shock of a life time at his age of 23, Courage." Tiana said sternly and he nodded.
"You really need to let go of that pride and like you keep telling us, unlearn your old ways before it destroys you entirely, Master. And looks to me, by suffering a crushing defeat as you learn too late, that not allowing change was your own undoing." Winna said sternly and he looked down, knowing he deserved that right then, as he been training Jedi for 800 years by that point. "There thank you, that was the lesson here, their failure shoved the point home now in truth."
"You never allow change and soon it's going to destroy you in the end, trying to make up their mistakes went way too far here now. That if I found the twins sooner or she survived the miscarriage, or close call miscarriage, only she and the twins. They can change me back, as I teach future generations to resist, but the twins are my family. You think that because you're my mentor, you have rights to make decisions, on my family?" He asked and they swallowed hard.
"Padme, she was so close, but seeing you, Vader knocked me into a coma, as for my orders of checking on him, I know this was never Mace's idea, it was your's. But you ever consider he was worried, I am a Master Guardian, the girls are dead, I am fighting. As hard as I can, but red and blue, good and evil, but purple, not good or evil, but completely human. But why would Vader say he hated you, you specifically, you're like Ferus here?" he asked and Obi-wan paled then.
"Like I said, it's very dangerous putting them together, I don't think Annie can handle the close contact, I don't trust the chancellor around him." Mace said in response sternly and Anakin nodded. "That's the real translation and Padme was absolutely right, you did trust me." Anakin said and the rest of the council nodded. "We did and we do, we trust you with our lives, if this was different I wish you told us and be done with it." Ki said for all of them and he nodded then.
"Early start in that, I'm not the same padawan I used to be, Father is alive, you gave me what I needed, nothing changes I grow up to become a cub him. But a Master Guardian version to him now, your star pupil, in your eyes, everything was fine till Darra was killed. But that was only the beginning as one by one I started losing my friends and adult friends, you. Till the purge, and my heart was being beaten black and blue." he said and Ki nodded as he said it with a sigh then.
"You knew I was married, just waiting to hear the words, you also knew she was pregnant, but like me, thought I had a single child and instead they learn I have twins. But my mind and soul was an open book to you, you know everything, I never had to confide my thoughts to you." he said and Ki and Mace looked down at that. "Being this open with us, takes back the bad first impression and gives an unbelievably good second." Kit said and in response and he nodded.
"That's a different time-line in where I changed, because I was guilt ridden, Dooku, that was no self defense kill, I just committed a real murder here. And the pressure of this finally caused me to break, but first this, followed by learning my wife is pregnant with my children. Followed by this mess with being a pawn here to learn whether or not here he's our Sith. I have reason to believe, this was to make sure I change, in 'his' case." he said and the sextet nodded gently.
"Father's going to say this directly if I did change back, but did you consider I need time before I decide to teach anyone how to resist?" he asked and Yoda paled. "Did you ever consider I don't want to remember what I did that night, ever?" he asked and they swallowed hard. "You are treating me like I'm a slave still, Padme and Father freed me from those shackles. And you still see me as though I have no rights, I'm still a slave." he said and Obi-wan went white at that.
"But what if I don't want to remember and be that type of teacher, what if I don't want to be that person again, what if I can't make it up for something. Something that haunts me every day of my adult life, but until I decide, just leave it alone. But this is why Vader saw the Jedi as evil, it's all black and white to you." he said and Yoda felt that slam into his heart. "As you can see even your own human adult Jedi see this as cruel and callous." he said and they all nodded.
"Talk about cruel and unusual punishment." Soara said sternly and Yoda blanched at her remark and the disgust in her tone then. "It was simple fix, if we told you sooner, you already had that power at your disposal, after Darra was killed or now. And you never change at all, Darn it Master, were you holding it back on purpose?" Tiana said sternly and he straightened. "If he had that power as young as he is now, he never would have turned." Damon clarified and he paled.
"To them, my family, Han, Chewie, Lando, everyone connected to us, my first mate and my crew, once I change back. Or if I spoke to Bail and convinced him now, you are relentless now, stopping at nothing, to them, it's in reverse. You're desperate to hold onto the prophecy, in thinking here, I will twist their minds. We're just trying to live our lives, when the times comes, I will do it my way, but for now, it's my kids deserve to grow up normal and happy here now."
"At 5 years old, you're dangerous, you are obsessed with finding them, that to Padme, you lied to her and she wants nothing to do with you, while at 14 years old. To them that portion of the prophecy, once the twins learn their destiny is to kill me. And if he brought about the first, they will be so sick of you and her family, Bail, bashing me now. You saying I will never change back, your thinking I brainwashed them, they will do whatever it takes to come home to me now."
"Even if that means pulling their lightsabers on both of you, they are and will be ready to stay on my flagship, and do it my way. I already killed him, isn't that enough as I start destroying the empire from within right now, I'm back as I got surgery done. And I just changed lightsaber colors, I'm completing their training, but the twins need me. And if their brother is due at the same time, you could cause a miscarriage, that happens and you think one is bad right now."
"My family is beyond strong in the force, that bitterness at both of you could cause them to turn and this galaxy will and won't stand a chance if that happens. By refusing to swallow your pride and not thinking I could ever change back right now. And you possibly causing a miscarriage, they will go to any length to stop the return here. And of the real Jedi and go Grey Jedi, and tell everyone in their clan to go Grey." he said and Yoda nodded, realizing he was making it worse.
"Master, if there is one thing learned here and Luke is going to say it to you by hiding the truth from him right now, is that the only way to maintain this relationship. Is by listening to them, for once, but in thinking you know best here right now, to them, you're beyond arrogant. But after several nights, she's pregnant with their baby brother or sister, or both, if she has twins. Again, and to her all this stress is making her sick, she can't hold anything down, even water."
"The pills are not working, she can't eat, or even drink right now, because the anxiety is making her so sick, she's losing weight. You realize this stress and anxiety could cause a miscarriage and put her in the hospital. Then whose fault is it that she is in the hospital, and the twins don't want anyone. You, or her family, or even Bail, anywhere near her, and it's definitely not me." he said and Obi-wan swallowed hard. "It's their's." Soara said sternly and Damon nodded firmly.
"Well here's a question, are they trying to protect my family, or just their insurance, to destroy the Sith, and finish the job in my case, though I stopped the real danger. Are they determined to consider execution, though I was blackmailed here, after you tried to kill him?" he asked and Obi-wan jerked in pain at his question then. "That's a good reason to relieve Obi-wan of his position on the council." Tiana said sternly and he paled, realizing his behavior was worse now.
"Just where the force is your brain exactly, it's my job to protect my family, but Sidious finds out my family survived, and he's going to do to them what he did to me. I am trying to protect my family, and you committed a crime, thinking like always you're always in the right. This is just what Owen was talking about, damn idealistic crusade, is your point of view here. The only one that matters, if not your idea, it's not used in protection?" he asked and they both swallowed.
"Do you honestly think they're not going to consider this right now in truth, in Luke's words, he's had enough of you people bashing me to last him and Leia a life time. That trying to convince you I had changed back, if it destroys my planet and nearly destroys her's. And she's pregnant, you understand matters of what stress does to a pregnant woman?" he asked and the duo felt their hearts sink. "What's it going to take to convince you?" he asked sternly and he swallowed.
"Is it going to take my actually being the one to destroy the damn thing myself, after you allowed two planets to be destroyed to convince either of you, her family and the alliance. Because everyone is going to see this that you allowed a planet to die, or two, and the senate with you, to convince yourselves I will never change back. And after she, the twins and I tried, we're not the ones deluding ourselves, you are, we tried and tried, but your pride here."
"Refuses to believe it, till it puts her in the hospital and we're offering her family refuge out of the goodness of our hearts, I send the boys to get you. And I just killed Sidious, how much more will it take to convince you in the eyes of my fleet. They all see this as the evil ones are you, you allowed a planet to die to delude yourselves?" he asked and he felt the blow slam into his heart then, realizing his pride and ignorance was the reason they lost his apprentice's planet.
"You got to be kidding, to convince themselves you will never change back, they allow one planet to be destroyed and nearly sacrifice a second, and the alliance with them?!" Damon snapped in shocked fury and Anakin nodded. "That's right, the entire council is dead, but the three of us, I changed back to my real name what will it take exactly?" he asked and the quintet crossed their arms and the duo paled, realizing their arrogance destroyed their credibility then.
"If Thracia, Vima, Tiana, Nejaa and I saw you, us living on your ship after you killed Sidious, we see you changing back, but will it take a fellow Jedi to convince them?" he said with a stern warning tone and the duo swallowed. "I don't know why we never relieved you of command of the council sooner, if he never shot me out of the window. I would have convinced him, and he would listen to me as I tell them, you, the truth, he changed back." Mace said sternly to Yoda.
"Is it going to take us as your fellow Jedi to convince you, us as in several members of what is left of the council to do so, we see with our own eyes. Him changing back, he kills Sidious, takes his place and starts destroying the Empire from within. My age group are his parents, Master, only a parent or in this case, adoptive parents can see the changes. But you made one mistake by not bothering to check on Shmi, and this mistake destroys the order right now in truth."
"What if the last has everyone thinking why should the real Jedi be brought back, it's much safer being Grey Jedi, being allowed to feel fully human." Ki said sternly and Mace nodded. "That's just the point, you have a family of your own, as do I and the quartet here in truth now. But this act of holding them against their will, and them yanking their lightsabers on Obi-wan. But that's desperate, so desperate in fact, they want their father, only he can protect them here now."
"Anakin had been protecting them from Sidious for months after they been living on the ship, but yeah they're padawans, but a padawan needs their master. But more then master, they're cubs that need daddy to protect them, they're 14 and feeling like they're 10." Damon said sternly and Yoda swallowed hard. "You just committed a case of reckless endangerment, and they're doing everything they can here to get back to the safety of our flagship right now."
"This act of kidnapping them, you're trying to protect them from the Sith, instead you outright exposed them right to Sidious!" Tiana snapped and they went white at that. "You never saw said flaw in that plan when you attempted this right now, Master, young man. Why doesn't that's surprise me, like the Queen said, you are far too reckless to see it. Thinking you know best, you're exposing the twins and their unborn sibling right to the Sith." Mace said sternly to him.
"To get away from us, really pull their lightsabers on us, after 14 years training?" he asked sadly, realizing they had enough of his thinking he was always right. "In her words, you, her family, even Bail, if I never change appearances back, along with the lightsaber. She talks and talks, but you, none of you are listening, think you know what's best for my family. Can anyone listen without seeing this as brainwashing, or are you all going to live that delusion now."
"Till it kills all of you or gets you all thrown in jail?" he said and the duo looked down. "Just like you thought training me was a bad idea, I'm dangerous, no what's dangerous. To you, is allowing your students to think for themselves in my kids generation. What's dangerous is allowing us to feel completely human, losing your power, that's dangerous. And you convinced Obi-wan of this and till it has my twins now ready to leave by force right now in truth."
"Master, before you expel me for being outspoken, and I have my memories of being a Jedi master, I can go freelance and train my family now. Would it have been better or worse that I choose now to do this as neither of you have a pawn to use now. To destroy each other until there is nothing left of either side, the Jedi die in 13 years?" he asked and Yoda looked at him, as he saw Qui-Gon as a youngling giving him a piece of his mind and he never minded that.
