Chapter 4 - The Beginning of it all

Hey guys! As promised here I am, I'm going to go for at least 800 words here so enjoy!... Percy Jackson doesn't belong to me neither does Star Wars belong to good'ol Rick Riordan and Disney, enjoy!

(They technically both belong to Disney now)

Percy(POV)

As Anakin and I stood before the Jedi council I reminisced how we ended up here, see fourteen hours after our departure Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice whom we had met during the trip back identified as Obi-wan Kenobi, brought Anakin and me before the Jedi high council, after attending the Senate meeting, soon after the Senate gathering, we met with the Jedi council who at this point began reminding me of the Olympian council back on earth, I shivered at the thought pushing down bad memories.

Currently, the council was arguing, and honestly, they reminded me of the Olympian council, hahaha just like children, they were arguing about whether it was necessary to send more Jedi to help with the invasion of Naboo, on one side Yoda leading pro help, on the other side Ki-Adi-Mundi leading against it, you see the Senate had decided against helping Naboo, stating that there was not enough evidence and that until enough evidence was brought forth that the Senate would not move forward with helping Naboo...I had never wanted to shoot a Neimoidian as much as I wanted to today.

The only problem was the chaos had spread to the Jedi council as well, more than half of the council wanted to back the Senate's decision, whilst the other few wanted to send a couple more Jedi to help Naboo.

(Time skip 30 mins)

They were still at it, still arguing whether to send help or not, and it was still on- "ENOUGH! Though by the looks of it Master Mace Windu has had enough. "This is the Jedi council for Force sake, we are not Padawans anymore!" Master Windu said amplifying his voice through the Force, "we have not even bothered to ask for the identity of these two young men standing before us."

The attention shifted quite instantly to us, and just like that we had the entire Jedi council observing both Anakin and me.

Examining us, Master Yoda asked, "Have a name you two do?"

As soon as those words left the wizened that moment I felt a laughed escape from my mouth, which seemed to draw a couple of odd stares from the council, and "Master Yoda do you truly not remember me?"

Master Yoda tilted his head in confusion and said "remember you, I do not."

Feigning shock I called out "master you've already forgotten your most prodigious student!" Looks of confusion were shot across the council none of them able to understand what they were hearing after all the council knew of all the students that the Grand Master had had in the last few decades, and as far as they knew only two could hold that title of prodigious, one of them was seated on the council at this very moment looking a mask of no emotion worn on his face, the other was Dooku, but he was already in his later years and away on a mission.

Yoda's face mirrored his internal confusion, though he quickly adopted a pensive stance, at the same time as the council began murmuring to each other in disbelief and confusion.

I began to grow annoyed, 'these were supposed to be the high and mighty of the Jedi order, yet here we were'

I know what'll trigger the Master's memory, one word, taking a step forward to draw the attention of the Council, and Yoda himself, I simply uttered "Lux."

Upon hearing this the grandmaster's eyes widened in shock finally recognizing me "impossible this is."

Flashing him a cheeky grin "Nah, though I have to admit that having one's age frozen in time, isn't as good as it sounds." At this statement, the council went up in uproar once again claiming lunacy and that it was impossible, I felt a laugh beginning to bubble up, but I squared my features, now was the time to teach these prideful fools a lesson.

"Well, I mean if you don't believe me, we can always ask my dear mother, I'm sure she'd tell you all she had to do was adopt me and that's it," bringing them into another uproar.

I rolled my eyes, I can't believe this is what the once great Jedi high council has become, no wonder mother sent me to train Anakin early on, out of the twelve members only two members were actually on the right path so far, were the only quiet ones, one of them being my old master Yoda but from what I could see his vision was being clouded by the Dark Side, which of course wasn't a problem, I could always trail this dark cloud to its origin and exterminate it but it would take to much time considering the entire temple itself reeked of the Dark Side, maybe on a later date.

Now the second one was Master Windu who in terms of the Force was perfectly balanced in the light, even if he wielded the hot bold anger of the dark side, but then again so did I, his only problem...from what I could tell he was too much of a traditionalist.

It would seem I have to make some major impact on the council.

Finally breaking his silence as Master Windu asked, "how is that possible you look no older than nineteen!"

Which seemed to silence the other members of the council, honestly I felt bad for causing so much chaos and unrest among them, well not really, but I've decided to simply tell them who mom is, "well it's not immortality exactly, my age was just frozen by my mother after she adopted me, though she recently unfroze my aging a year ago."

"How is it possible that your mother was able to freeze your aging, even with all our knowledge in technology and the Force, that simply seems impossible?" Master Shaak Ti questioned.

"Well to answer our question, I must first answer Master Yoda's question, quite simply my name is Epizon, but you guys can call me Percy, and I am the son of the Force..." And yet another yelling match burst to life amongst the masters, except master Yoda and Mace Windu started calling out "impossible!" and "you lie!"

That got annoying, so deciding to shut them up I released my Force aura, instantly they began to feel the pressure of it everyone proceeded to shut their mouths immediately, the only one not affected was Anakin, that's when nervously one of the masters the one with the big forehead decided to ask, "h-how is this possible, and where is your proof?" Asking accusingly yet nervously due to my power display as sweat poured down his head.

Suddenly mom's voice came out of nowhere, "You dare challenge my son's claim!" Her power and presence made the room itself vibrate, everyone in the room started shaking as well, though they shook in fear due to the pure energy that mom was emitting.

Which was concentrated so intensely in the room at that moment, that everyone bar Anakin, and me, of course, were affected, Anakin was the only other exception since he spent so much time around mom before, that and she didn't want to scare him, and honestly she also spoiled him.

I was snapped from my thoughts when Master Windu spoke up, "Hello Lady Force it has been a while."

I was surprised when mom calmed down and returned the greeting calmly, "Yes it has been old friend, although you have strayed." Master Windu simply bowed his head in shame and acceptance.

It wasn't a shock that mom had interacted with Mace Windu of all people, but that Mace had recognized mom when she materialized in the room, "Percy shut your mouth or you'll catch flies." mom said grinning,

"So mom, how do you know Master Windu?!"

"Simply he is one of the only Jedi who followed the true way of the Force."

"Ah ok."

"Anyways we got off-topic," I said continuing with their previous argument.

"If you won't send Jedi to help a planet that is in need, as your job dictates you should, then I will choose Jedi to bring with me, I will be bringing Master Windu, Master Qui-gon, and his Padawan Kenobi." I finished with a smirk daring them to go against my statement in front of mom.

None dared with my mother still present in the council chambers,

After some thought Yoda spoke up, "take other Jedi you will not?"

"To be honest master Yoda," I responded, "even though yes I know there are plenty of Jedi, who are capable of taking on a Sith, I only trust Qui-gon Jinn and his apprentice Kenobi, and from what I gather my mother trusts master Windu so I trust him, and I need people I know I can trust in the battlefield to have my back."

Master Yoda nodded in acceptance of this.

(Time Skip 1 hour or 6 pizza slices later)

So here we were waiting for Padmé and her entourage at the landing bay, by Naboo royal ship, mom had left just before the meeting ended, wishing me luck and warning me to plan for success prepared for failure as Buir had taught me, with that she left as if in a hurry, leaving the council to be dismissed.

I noticed my ADHD started acting up again due to rhythmic eat of my bouncing leg, which in turn caused the lightsaber attached to my belt to clack against my leg, how I acquired it is still bizarre to me, especially considering it was Master Yoda had given it to me after taken me apart after the council meeting.

(Flashback)

"Are you sure it'd be wise to take that course of action?"

"Qui-gon you trusted me on Tatooine, trust me now."

"Masters, Percy if I may-"

"Not now Kenobi-"

Mace Windu was interrupted by the diminutive Grandmaster who walked up to us, "borrow Perseus, for a minute I will."

"Go on ahead, I'll meet you all at the landing bay in twenty."

Excusing myself I ran to catch up to him, after all when the Grandmaster of the Order ask to talk with you, you don't keep him waiting.

Finally catching up, I followed him for another few feet, neither uttering a word until we were out of earshot from any of the Jedi Masters still left in the hallway, "A lightsaber you do not wield hrmm? Master Yoda questioned.

"No, not currently, I haven't been able to get a kyber crystal for one yet."

Nodding he motioned for me to follow him further down the hallway, "mysterious the Force is." He said folding his hands within the sleeves of his cloak before separating them and producing a beautiful red and black lightsaber,

"To an ancient Sith, this lightsaber belonged it did, passed down through many Sith it did, took it from one I did, kept it for a long time I have, want you to have it now I do." Said Master Yoda.

I looked at him in shock "I can't accept this Master Yoda."

"Take it to you most, calling out to you it is, feel it you do."

He was right I felt the lightsaber calling out to me, looking at him I reached out for it, calling it to me with the Force, he released it allowing it to float over into my hand.

Grasping it I felt surprised to feel it was weightless, looking at him in surprise master Yoda only chuckled, as I ignited my anticipation was squandered and I felt disappointed to see a ruby blade come forth, looking at him in question.

Master Yoda replied, "a Kyber crystal for yourself find your must, provide that I cannot."

Nodding I deactivated it, taking time to examine the hilt itself, 'it was an interesting hilt, instead of being the classic straight hilt of a lightsaber this lightsaber was curved, which seemed to allow far more force and strength behind a direct strike, in a weird sense it could become an extension of the hand during a duel, or even amongst heavy blaster fire.'

Broken from my thoughts by a tap to my leg I looked down to see Master Yoda with his cane extended, "move along you should unless left behind you wish to be."

He chuckled to himself as he turned and walked away down the hallway to Force knows where.

'His statement was weird, I left behind?'

As if from a burst of creativity I remembered 'I had agreed to be at the landing bay in twenty minutes,' checking the Chrono on my gantlet, my eyes widened.

'That was fifteen minutes ago!'

I turned and ran towards the landing bay outside of the Temple calling upon the Force to increase my speed, nearly crashing into multiple Jedi of differing species, and getting lost at least once I finally arrived.

"I'm here, and I only got lost once!"

Both present Jedi masters raised their eyebrows respectively, having already loaded our supplies into the speeder, Qui-gon turned to Anakin handing him twenty credits Obi-wan doing the same to Master Windu, I could only stare in slight confusion.

"I told you he'd be late," Anakin called out to Qui-gon.

(Flashback End)

So yeah here we are waiting for Padmé, oh look here she comes...

(The time skip returns)

We're about ready to land on Naboo, overall it took us about a day to get here, it would have taken us a shorter amount of time but mom's warning got me thinking, the Trade Federation already knew we were coming and would be waiting for us outside the principal hyperspace route from Coruscant to Naboo so we had two options either take the longer hyperspace route which would've taken us three days, or drop out from hyperspace earlier and travel from there to Naboo, and we couldn't approach through the Tatooine hyperplane as they could also be expecting that.

So with the Queen, Captain Panaka, the two Masters, and I in agreement we decided to drop out of hyperspace near the planet Malastare leaving us a day's journey at the ship's top speeds.

Between our departure from Coruscant and the time it would take us to reach Naboo, I began learning as much as I could on the two lightsaber forms Vapaad and Ataru from Master Windu and Qui-gon respectively, due to my experience with swords( well riptide to be exact), and my bizarre nature as master Windu called it, I was able to catch on pretty quickly, to around the level of a Jedi Knight in terms of skill.

Now, why these two forms one may ask; well quite simple, one cannot fight using a lightsaber the same way one would use a xiphos, it just wasn't possible you see the lightsaber is the more elegant weapon, its movements were more like a katana or even a great sword, which means that I need to learn forms that are respective to it, even though yes I could theoretically incorporate a bit of my old technique, I could not wield my lightsaber in the same way in which I once welt Riptide, so I decided to learn these two forms.

Ataru too deliver heavy blows from multiple angles upon my opponents, thus bringing about the nature of the Sea still within me, Ataru was restless, uncontainable, and powerful in a way like the ocean, combine that with the ability to draw upon my opponent's Dark side with Vapaad, I would be nearly unstoppable…Once I was able to successfully combine and merge the two forms.

I quickly finished cleaning up in the refresher of the large vessel we had been given by the republic along with fifty shock troopers, a parting gift from the new Chancellor Sheev Palpatine.

The ship was a Thranta class corvette, it carried a crew of around a hundred engineers, plus the twenty guards that came with Padmé and her five handmaidens, three Jedi, Anakin and me, so we were short-staffed, how typical, I thought remembering both wars I had been in and now this one as well.

I arrived at my position in the cockpit of the ship, sitting down next to Padmé who was disguised as one of her handmaidens.

I felt it before it happened, the ship's power was turned off in order to avoid being detected by the enemy fighters, the general objective was to appear as space junk entering orbit, doing so we would be able to bypass all of the scanners and radar, then activate engines and land safely away from prying eyes.

As the ship began our descent into the surface of Naboo, I felt the ship shudder as we began to enter the atmosphere, and I extended my hold on the Force outward shielding the front ship from the immense heat and drag.

We realized early into our planning that without the power we had no shields so the masters and I came to the decision that we would be the ship's shield, so we spread out Qui-gon and Obi-wan in the back, Mace Windu in the middle, and yours truly in the front of the ship taking the brunt of the blow, at first the ship began to creak and groan, but extending my hold a bit further back the groaning stopped.

As we sped towards the surface I began to sweat bucket loads, this was taking a greater toll on me than I thought it would, for Force's sake we were fighting against the laws of physics, it felt like I was holding up the sky all over again.

'The reason behind the train on my body was; had we been lowering the ship with the Force or stopping it with the Force it would have been possible but we weren't we were shielding it, protecting it against the laws of nature itself,' I snapped from my thoughts feeling the ship lurch we finally made it through the atmosphere, the pilots were quick to turn the engines came back online.

Looking around I noticed that at some point I had stood up, plopping back down exhausted, I could feel Padme radiated worry from her spot next to me as I waited for the Jedi and captain Panaka to get in here so that we could discuss our next course of action.

~the linebreak strikes back~

Masters Windu and I moved discreetly from alley to alley avoiding droid squadrons knowing they were not ours to fight, we had all split up, each with their task.

Qui-gon and Obi-wan would aid the Gungan's against the droid army, meanwhile, Captain Panaka would take half of his men along with half of the shock troopers, and take back the capital while the other a fourth of the shock troopers would guard Padmé and assist in retaking the castle, the other fourth taking to the skies upon our signal, meanwhile the other half of captain Panaka's men would take off from the Palace hanger, which Master Windu and I were tasked with the clearing of all droids along with opening the hanger for our troops.

Taking to the roofs we entered the palace through a now open window, we proceeded to walk along the beams to the middle of the hanger, wherewith a nod we jumped down landing among the droids, igniting our lightsabers respectively standing back to back.

The droids alerted to our presence turned and began firing at us, we simply deflected them back to their source, cutting down any droid that got too close, soon enough the droids were no more, turning off our lightsabers and reattaching them to our belts we turned to the hanger doors, we then proceeded to push them open using the Force, allowing the pilots to stream in along with Padmé and Ani who decided to come along with them, feeling a slight nudge from the Force I took Anakin and put him inside one of the ships "Wait in the ship Ani." I called out to him giving him a stern look.

I turned to follow Mace Windu who was yards ahead of me with the main group, running to catch up we came to the opening doors that led to the power generator, as the doors slowly opened the Sith came into view, our group came to a halt, captain Panaka and Padmé turned to me each of them holding a different emotion, nodding to them signaling for them to go on ahead and continue, from the corner of my eye, I saw Padmé turn one last time giving me a look of worry, smiling at her calmly I motioned for her to go ahead.

Turning back to the Sith, throwing the hood of his robes back to reveal a red-skinned Zabrak he lifted his lightsaber igniting both blades on his saber staff, damn that thing was cool.

We too pulled our sabers from our belts igniting them, immediately being basked in purple and ruby light, at the ignition of my ruby blade the Sith looked at it in minor shock, before replacing it with red hot anger (see what I did there;P), with an impressive speed he hadn't demonstrated in his fight with Qui-gon he moved appearing in front of me, striking down on my saber.

Shifting my lightsaber down I blocked his first strike, the Zabrak proceeded to swipe down with his second blade which Mace Windu intercepted blocking the blade, with the Sith distracted I attacked, bringing my saber up to his side aiming to test him.

He simply jumped back avoiding the blow taking a moment to examine us again.

Reaching into the Force I grazed Windy's mind asking for permission just I had with Qui-gon not too long ago, with his now open mind I called on the Force creating a mental link with Master Windu.

"He has realized he cannot take us on together, so he's most likely changing up his strategy, which will definitely aim to separate us" I called to Master Windu through a Force bond I had just forged.

"I agree, in that case, we must remain vigilant, do not allow him to lead us around to his advantage."

Nodding in agreement we raised our respective lightsabers once more, I held mine in a one-handed grip, crimson blade angled forward.

Windu held his saber in a two-hand grip to his left, the atmosphere, in not just the room, but the Force a well shifted entirely, and the Zabrak noticing this began retreating towards the generator room, but with a Force enhanced jump over him I blocked his retreat my lightsaber aimed straight at him, turning around he was met with a downward slash from my saber, blocking it he turned to block Mace Windu's blow, and there it was his first mistake.

I feinted my strike, the Zabrak feeling it through the Force went to block it only for my saber to change direction halfway through, hitting and cutting through the handle effectively rendering the upper end useless, jumping back once more he examined his now damaged lightsaber with a scowl, a look of rage and hate came about his features as he was forced to adjust his saber, now only being able to use only one side of the blade, that made it much simpler for us.

We once more began our attack, striking at him from different sides and angles, using my deadly combo of Vataru(as I had decided to call it,) and Windu with Vapaad, the Sith was slowly but surely pushed back and away from the generator room, and through the Force, we could feel his desperation grow.

Finally, in a desperate attempt, the Sith Force pushed Mace Windu sending him flying, I quickly retaliated by thrusting my lightsaber forward, on instinct he blocked.

With a swift motion the very same move that luke had taught me oh so many years ago, I disarmed him of his lightsaber, Force pushing him into the ground at the same time deactivating my lightsaber, holding him there as waited for Mace Windu to come back.

As Mace came back I had turned my back to the Sith only for him to jump at me having freed himself, I felt the Force scream about the approaching danger, turning I igniting my lightsaber, and with a fluid motion, the ruby blade met flesh cutting through the Sith from hip to hip, followed by a Force push curtesy of Mace Windu, which sent the Zabrak flying into one of the many chasms inside the generator, falling into the abyss, looking down at the retreating figure, I closed my eyes in letting out a breath of relief and acceptance at what had come to pass.

It was finally over, and by the Force was I exhausted.

(Time skip awesomeness)

It was over, the battle was won, Anakin destroyed the Trade Federation battleship from the inside, Padmé took the Vicorey Nute Gunary as a captive to be brought before the Senate, and Qui-gon and Obi-wan were able to fend off the Trade Federation droids till they were deactivated by the destruction of the Trade Federation Battleship.

With only a hundred casualties on both the Gungan and Nabooian sides, of which sadly a good seventy-four percent of them were fatal, Padmé- or should I say Queen Padmé Amidala was able to re-establish peace and trade with the Gungan's once more, so overall quite the successful mission.

So after the liberation of the Naboolians, and the clean-up of the droids which lasted about four to five days, the people of Naboo started a planet-wide festival/parade of sorts in honor of its "heroes", there was food, dancing, fireworks, you name it!

In total, the festival lasted seven days and even the oh mighty and stoic master Windu partook in the celebration, thinking back I remember multiple times Padmé came up to me dragging me to dance with her, the first time I remember looking back at Qui-gon asking for help only for him to laugh and shake his head, the traitor.

In the end, I ended up having fun and enjoying my time with the young Queen, whom I came to learn was not much younger than I was, at least the age I was before being frozen in time, thanks to a certain someone (looking at you mom).

Finally, as we prepared to leave Padmé pulled me aside giving her a questioning look I felt her put something into my hand, looking down I saw in my hand a chip.

"It's my holo information, so we can stay in contact.", finishing her eyes looked up at mine biting her lip she wore a look of uncertainty, I could tell something was bothering her, and just as I was about to question her about it she leaned up and kissed my cheek, sparks flew.

Looked out of the corvette I had come to call it the Thýella (which means storm in greek,) after Anakin had told me of how it held its own amidst the chaos as if it were her own little storm on the field, it was a fitting name, so from that moment forward she was dubbed the Thýella, Anakin loved it instantly.

Talking about Anakin that little rascal had been from what I heard, also been his a little hurricane of destruction all on his own as well, which was most impressive.

Looking back out at the beautiful mush planet that reminded me so much of earth, I knew and felt the dark shadow that has begun falling over the Republic, I could feel the darkness rising, as the Dark side was beginning to stir, I need to begin putting my plan into action, for the appearance of the Sith(whose remains were not found anywhere on the planet, which was worrying) was no coincidence, add that to the fact of that he appeared on the very same planet the Trade Federation randomly decided it wanted to take over was no coincidence, the Sith are finally coming out of hiding, the played their hand, and now it was only a matter of time before they struck again.

I need to convince the council to finish teaching me, and to continue teaching Ani, sure I could teach him about the Force but even then, there is only so much that I can teach the boy.

As for me, I still have quite a bit left to learn, I needed to tune and train myself with my powers as the Son of the Force, and I mustn't forget to practice with my lightsaber now that I have one(talking of which I need to come up with a name for it), and I also need to find a proper crystal for my lightsaber! So yeah I'll definitely have to convince the council to take both Ani and me in...which is better said than done.

Finally done! This took me 4 flipping days to finish! But here you go as promised more than 3500 words enjoy, so far so this chapter remains to be one of the longest chapters, I have written yet, enjoy it, up next Chapter 5 decisions decisions decisions, Adios!
