The Salvation Of The Chosen One
Warnings: This story is going several weeks back to my previous Revenge of the Sith story, taking place directly after he and Obi-wan get back. It's also going to involve having his adult memories, Obi-wan and Yoda's souls shooting back to that day. So this will be insuring Palpatine is never going to win this, as the twins arrive. And they see their parents for real as young adults, insuring their adult memories are strong…
Disclaimers: Starwars doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, the characters and everything else belongs to George Lucas and the movie companies.
Chapter 2: Preparations And Time Travelers
"I maybe a Jedi, but I'm only human as well, like he is, he's my star pupil, but he's like Siri, Adi and me, carries the red in his soul, and yet a guardian. I see why he had to remind me of that, but that 2 lives catch almost destroyed him. And what if his children were our one chance to free him, after he took Sidious's offer, what then. With Padme dead now, he spent 23 years alone, because we never forestalled this when we had the chance?" Mace said and he paled at that.
"Qui-Gon is gone, leaving only me, Nejaa, and Damon as his only father figures in the Jedi, while Obi-wan is the big brother/father, like Garen is." he said and Yoda nodded. "He nearly got what he wanted, if I never decided to reveal this to you, you knew already, right?" he asked and the council nodded. "We did and we were waiting for you to say it to confirm it, but now that you did, you gained our trust." Mace said and Anakin nodded as he answered him gently at that.
"You recall my premonitions after Yaddle was killed, I chose to ignore them, but some reason, they started again, directly after Ansion?" Anakin asked and Obi-wan leaned forward, feeling his heart fill with dread at that. "You considered the reason that though acting normal, I was still in mourning of Darra, our normal team partner was the Attana/Thanis unit. But I lost my version of Siri and this had me depressed, because I grew too used to Darra and Soara at my side now."
"Barris was good I know, I just missed Darra so much that I was still in mourning, that explains my short temper with you, brother. I lost a friend, we don't check back who's next, and then you get the answer to that question: mom. As the pain shoots through me, into the three of you and you get the comm you never expected to hear, Father." he said and Mace crossed his arms at the news. "And now furious I am, going to pay, someone will." Yoda said sternly at the news.
"I know you preferred being with the girls it was safer that way, to prevent fights at the time here, you and Darra, was your friend Amee, Darra's counterpart?" Shaak Tii asked and he nodded. "She and I were close to it, but Darra's my version of the girls: Master Dantallion and Siri, but while one relationship was falling, another was deepening. That's the reason for the short tempered attitude, reminding you of our mission, before I could leave for Naboo now."
"We had to stop by the farm, if we had, I'd be able to focus." he said and Yoda nodded. "To focus and ease the sting of that memory, you deserved a few weeks off, but a double shift. That just destroyed your progress, because we never checked back on it, and it kills your mother. And now it's happening again, is that what you're telling me?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "Not making the same mistakes twice we are, but doing it now we are, but there it is now, Padawan."
"Key that was to bring it to full conclusion, being honest with us now, all this time, every time leave you do to be alone, her with, you always are." Yoda said and he nodded. "I see no reason to expel you, like you, Nejaa, Thracia, Damon, Tiana and I have families of our own. And with that, you been exercising both, but that concluded it now, you are ready. But though on the Council, you will receive training as a master." Ki added and he nodded as hid a sigh of relief.
"At least you never learned this, before the moment of truth and instead a month prior." he said and they nodded in agreement. "As you know Padme is a senator, her network is preparing for outright rebellion against him." he told him and they nodded. "Then we combine together, with her committee, if he is our Sith, and if your alter ego was the target, we must spilt you in two. To save you, but we had the key already, so you're protected now." Shaak Tii said gently to him.
"Lost too much over this war already, I'm not losing you too now, all that's left of my quartet are Obi-wan, Tiana and Damon, I'm the only one left, in cubs still." he said and she nodded as her eyes gentled. "I see why you never mentioned Tru Veld, he stabbed you in the heart, after Darra was killed and tried to put the blame on you, correct?" Kit asked and he nodded. "Yes Master, but I saw his eyes glow gold, Korriban and the greed got to him." he told him and they nodded.
"It was not me, but he claimed here that to make Ferus look bad I was willing to let him take the fall, how can I do anything when trapped in a shield trap. You also gave me orders, I am a padawan, my orders were to stay with Obi-wan at the time. But my relationship with you, with their mentors and with Obi-wan was the punchline, underneath the humility now here. Said is crazed jealousy, they did it on purpose, if they let it go, Darra would still be alive right now."
"But they haven't trusted me, since Zan Arbor and my own capture after I unloaded everything to Obi-wan, but said experiment was just another way to handle my grief. And till I could cope, but a double whammy in 8 months, that is too much, but Darra was the cause. Mom was the effect and you felt the power blast as a result of my black out, but Padme. She brought me along to prevent it twice and the battlefield was the result." he said and Mace nodded gently.
"Indeed we had felt that blast, your pain and anger shot into us and we knew something was very wrong if we found you on Tatooine." Ki said and Anakin nodded. "Well you got the reason, their decision not to tell you, basically killed those raiders, mom. And who knows how many other people right now, but I'm not going through that again, once is enough. But that explains my charging ahead, I didn't want you to see that, brother." he said and Obi-wan nodded then.
"I'm sorry, but that's the entire rant, he's overly critical, he never listens, he just does not understand, it was all his fault, he's been jealous ever since the games. He was holding it back, said back, the lightsaber needing further work done on it right now." he said and the council nodded. "The he being Ferus, every time your alter ego sees me, you see him in my place, and he's also a Soresu?" Obi-wan said to clarify and he nodded and they both nodded sternly then.
"But unknowingly or not, these two basically just helped my downward spiral along, until last night, Palpatine forced me to kill a helpless victim, after coming to. Out of my version of Vaapad, and I told him, I couldn't, I wouldn't and he forced my hand." he said and they all nodded gently. "Holding this in ever since Shmi's loss, have you?" Yoda said and he nodded to him. "I have Master, I just can't help but think, if not for Darra…" he said and they nodded then sternly.
"You wouldn't be this close to taking what Sidious has to offer, but too late, we gave it to you already, you're still in mourning. But first Qui-Gon than Yaddle, Darra, Shmi and all your real friends in your clan, the girls and Ry." Obi-wan said and he nodded and Obi-wan nodded gently to him then. "Tiana, can you grab Damon and Tru and come to the council chambers, we wish to run a re-trial, and bring Winna and Minga with you." Mace said as he pressed the call button.
As they waited and then the door opened and his ex team mate came in with his former master and her counterpart. "You wanted to see us Mace?" Jedi Master Damon Calrissian asked and he crossed his arms. "Yes and it seemed Anakin revealed some new light, regarding the lightsaber and Darra's murder at Xanatos's heir hands now." he said and Jedi Knight Tru Veld went pale, realizing he ratted him out to the council and Obi-wan nodded as he answered that response.
"That's right young man, he told me everything, but seems that he reveals his emotions to his wife as well, but overly critical, you guys don't know what it means to be this powerful. Never listen, you never listen to a born in the field padawan, you just do not understand. But Ferus was jealous at Anakin's credibility to us and being that good, it was your fault Darra's gone. Ferus was holding it back about the lightsaber needing more work." he said and Anakin nodded.
"Putting his desire to graduate over the safety of the team, was what killed Darra, and along with Ferus never checking the crystal. Their desire to point me out as everything they been saying since Zan Arbor, that ultimately wrecked their lives. But Darra was the cause, mom was the effect, if you felt the power blast, I blacked out and my alter ego lost it completely." he said and Mace nodded. "It's the Carver all over again, Anakin?" he asked and he looked down then.
"Baby what's going on exactly?" Jedi Master Tiana Merrin asked him gently. "Padme's pregnant, a month left, but my premonitions are on her this time, they're spelling out my murder. And at the hands of my alter ego, I have less then a month left, my remission is over." he said and they nodded quickly and Tru went white, realizing he just murdered him by Darra's loss. "That's right Tru, you just helped my downward spiral along here, you know if you just let it go right now."
"You wouldn't be disgraced and Ferus expelled, I grew up in the outside world, when are you going to get that, but double whammy, followed by losing our entire clan, aside from Lana and Ferus. And then comes losing my arm, this thing is a cancer, digging into my soul, I don't get rid of it, I become like Grievous, blast it." he said and Tru swallowed hard shaking at that news. "No not again, we're not losing you too!" Minga Denjer snapped in anger at the news then quickly.
"First Darra, then Shmi, your friends in your clan, the girls and Ry', and finally Adi, we're all that's left of our quartet, we're not losing anyone else in our quartet or the Jedi now." Damon said sternly and he nodded. "Well my only friends left are your age group Master, you, Obi-wan's clan and Lana, Lana is all I have left of our clan." he told him and he nodded, as she ran her hand through the hair at the back of his head gently, as the council exchanged stern looks.
And they nodded. "I should have sent Siri to check on it." Ki said sternly and he nodded. "Not your fault, you didn't know right now, but the last one got shoved into my head. Before I headed for Tatooine to double check, but I was on a double shift that week right now. You know this, growing up normal, I'm also a living force, I can't control those visions." he said and the council nodded sternly. "That must be why Palpatine recommended you." Mace said slowly that news.
"If it is, the Sith wanted him delayed that by the time we did look into it, she's close to death. Well that…., Sidious was shoving these visions into your head, till when you decide to check on it. It's already too late, he wanted this." Obi-wan growled and Mace nodded sternly. "He's doing it again, let's check back tomorrow, after you read a few chapters of that book." Shaak Tii said and Yoda nodded. "Leave tomorrow at Dusk, I do." he said and Mace and Obi-wan nodded then.
"You got a few days to study and start practicing that skill, during your mission, as we see your aura turning brighter and brighter, as our you takes back total control." Mace said and he nodded. "Yeah that and I think the final phase of his plan kicked in right now, but we can make it in time right now, I think he was praying you never had that text. And then throws the line he knows this power, when he killed the only source, if he is 'him'." he said and Yoda nodded then.
"So we got one night on this, and check back tomorrow, before you leave Master." Mace said and he nodded. "Agreed, Mace, Shaak Tii, Obi-wan, agree with you I do, will stay tonight and leave tomorrow night, Anakin And before whoever sent the news where Greivious to Palpatine and he reveals that location, just pretend you will. If he mentions anything worth of value, as given you the power offered, we already did." he said and Anakin nodded to the orders gently smiling.
"You maybe on duty, but you're in medical recovery from another double shift, baby." Winna D'Uni said gently and he nodded. " Issues in our Jedi family, even the young adult cubs need a break at times and you're too exhausted to think straight here." Damon said with a bemused smile and Yoda nodded in agreement. "We're the only family he has, with his mother dead, but his immediate family are the Lars and Naberries later." Obi-wan said and Mace nodded gently.
"Where's your living arrangements exactly?" he asked and Anakin smiled. "I'm living with her actually right now at the senatorial apartment complex." he asked and they nodded. "So that's where you're going in between missions, you been living at her apartment all that time. Okay that's fine, now that we got the truth, no more living two lives, just combine both together. At least this way we got a lock into her grouping, and her us." Kit said and he nodded gently then.
"That and I need to re-align my color again, Master." Anakin said and Mace nodded. "Yes and speaking of which, your lightsaber's glowing bluish purple now, the transition is complete." he said and he took it off his belt and checked it. "Control the evil and yet I'm a guardian, I'm a 23 year old you." he said and Mace nodded gently. "This was why no one could never defeat me, I'm a very highly skilled in form VII." he said and Anakin nodded smiling as he answered him.
"I have everything I need right here, I'm a soon to be father, friends and I just changed further, but he's too late, you win, what do you see, Master Yoda, am I still connected?" he asked and Yoda closed his eyes to check his aura, and then got hit with a vision. And his padawan as a fully grown adult with 2 young adults, a woman no older then Tiana. And with them was a wookie. A younger version of his other prize pupil and a man next to the girl with smiles on their face.
"See our future I do, been a Jedi master for 18 years, saw your family, Damon's grandson, his best friend and my connection with the wookies, also saw the droids I did. Owen, pleased he will be that gave you a way to stay you we did now, save your family by this one change." he said and Anakin nodded smiling. "My entire side of the family is alive, as is her's, but the twins, if I have twins now, are Jedi turned politicians and fighter pilots." he said and they all nodded then.
"Then again this is not the first time your teaching by a brutal punchline hit them hard, Master Yoda, case in point here was I had to kill in self defense. As Krayne was not going down without a fight and he slashed me across the arm with a rusted vibro-blade." he said and they all nodded. "That's an understatement, after seeing for myself what he meant and now this, hence the case of infamy, former slave turned Jedi knight, the infamous Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker."
"The Hero with no fear, though not true, you're scared to lose someone else you love, we all know this, but you grew up in the real world, and what is talked about between us. Remains between us, you and me as your mentor, let alone the trio and parental mentor trio. Which got reduced to a duo, thanks to this war." Obi-wan said and they nodded sternly then. "We know boys, but you grew up outside the temple, you know the brutality that lifeforms do to others."
"We knew something was wrong after we heard Qui-Gon through the void, so that was it." Mace said and Anakin nodded. "We're not making the same mistakes twice right now, but you lost her, you're not losing us or your family as well. So with that in mind, there is a way, it's in that section of the archives, as you train to use that power. If he is our Sith, and gives you a Sith legend, we got him now." Mace said and Yoda nodded in agreement as he answered him then.
"I never went against you before, but I can not divide my life in secret, Master I have reason to believe last night was a test, Palpatine wanted that. But my induced black out, could be matched to you, Master Windu, I think my aura switched colors, I must be like you." he said and Mace nodded gently. "There is a script in the archives, involving everything Qui-Gon learned, about force healing, I think that should suffice now, but if this was part of the prophecy now."
"And his plan, we play along till you catch him in his words, if he's associated with our Sith, or he is the Sith." he said and Anakin nodded. "I understand, we need to know why all the interest in me, or why this war is still ongoing, what is this exactly, is he associated with him. Or he is him and…, his tone sounded savage when he ordered me to kill Dooku, so yes. That does sound very cold blooded, he's dangerous, behind that grandfatherly look in his appearance now."
"Very well, I can do that, you have my trust now, I'm lucky I told you my truths, before you asked me to do that, but yes Master, I can act as a spy, and double agent. But in return this basically saves the entire Jedi order, let alone me, after I got enough, I'm telling you. And then we put our plan into action, Mace, but this thing is the tumor, I'm running out of time. Sedation and I'm telling our side of the squadron maximum stun, but go and return as fast as I turned."
"You heal my injuries and grow back my limbs, I'm fully human again, but he's taken enough from me, he's not taking all of you as well, Master, he's mine." he said and Yoda smiled in relief at the news. "Then take a seat, Master Skywalker." Mace said gently at that remark and he took the seat next to Obi-wan and the council exchanged relieved looks. "I think this was the plan, disruption of my recovery after Darra's murder, demoralization after mom was killed by Raiders."
"And now distraction by separating us, that by the time he makes his move it's already too late." he said and Yoda and Mace nodded. "But the disruption by the thefts was disrupting normality of training, demoralization was by killing Master and theft of the crystals. Distraction was Ali and the younglings, he did that to plant the crystals into the reactor. So when Miro finished with rebooting the system, as they cause thermonuclear explosion." he said and Mace nodded then.
"While this was disruption: of a chance for you to get know me, with an emergency going on, demoralization: that was a double whammy, with first Darra and then mom. And distraction: by separating us that by the time you guys come back, we're done for. And my soul belongs to him, as a result, same thing, but taking 13 years to do so." he said and the council nodded. "Yes there's the formula right there, and only the three of us and Qui' knew that formula now."
"It's happening again, Master." Mace said and Yoda and Obi-wan nodded sternly to the news. "Here we go again, it's Xanatos all over again, and 80% of us were here for that, right now, Master, Mace." Obi-wan said and Yoda and Mace nodded in agreement. "We lost 3, but otherwise we got all of us, but that could be it now, so my branch, we must be. Now, a homicide inspector in the local security department to catch a Sith, we must think like one now in truth, son."
"Wise thinking Anakin, I never would have seen that if you never said that, but how far along is she exactly." he asked and Anakin sighed. "We're in the final trimester, due date is in a few weeks, but we may have to induce it, and then clone her body. Make it look like my premonition, so we have him thinking you lost us both in one shot." he told him and Yoda and Obi-wan nodded. "That or we take him out after Grievous is dead." Kit said sternly at the remark then.
"Master that's treason, there could be a search and destroy order for us." he said and they nodded. "He's going to call treason if we try to arrest him in the office and have us disbanded or worse, and this gives him a perfect reason to call a search and destroy. But we get him to expose his lightsaber if he is one, but if he is one, two tests of strength, bide our time. And then I do it in my own prime, I do him, and my son my alter ego." he said and Yoda nodded sternly.
"Well if he can outmatch us, and we're 10 years younger then he is, we're too old by the time you try it and you're in your mid 40's, baby." Tiana said and he nodded. "I know, but this means as an adult my powers quintupled both sides right now by the time my children are also 23. And the story we told them becomes true, giving my son a bigger reason to hate the darkside. My alter ego was seduced and betrayed and nearly killed me." he said and Yoda nodded gently.
"I should have seen this coming, he was having me question your decisions for 13 years, possibly grooming me for this, and when he makes his move. That the duo that would have talked some sense into me are off world. " he said and Mace crossed his arms. "While I was getting ready to give that text to you, as I told you we already had what you needed. In order to save her, but clearly the chancellor is corrupt." he said in response and Anakin nodded sternly.
"Corrupt and evil, but it's not all black and white, we lost our way as well, and it's beyond ironic, we find the power to become one with the force, a month prior to our destruction." he said and Obi-wan nodded. "Like I said, in our hands your powers save billions, in his, it's a dangerous weapon waiting to go off, one we must prevent at all costs, so we give you what you want. He spends 6 weeks studying that, and we're okay, as he stays himself." he said and Yoda nodded.
"Good point that is, but Anakin, must tread carefully from here though." he said and Anakin nodded. "Alright, alright, if this turns into a cross and double cross, I can take my side of our patrols, tell them put the stun on high and we sedate the Jedi here at the temple." Anakin said and Mace nodded. "Blast it, alright we must be very cautious from here on out, Anakin go to Padme, tell her you told us and we gave you said key, if this was his eliminating the last piece."
"He's done for." he said, and Anakin nodded, before he could answer, a power blast shot through him, and Obi-wan and Yoda as they got thrown into the backs of their chairs. "Force what the blazes was that exactly?" Kit asked and Anakin smiled as he shook his head. "Case of force soul travel Kit, I'm back in my younger body, before the Purge, Master, Obi-wan!" he said and they nodded smiling. "Indeed, back we are, fix this moment, we can." he said smiling in relief then.
"I remember the night you returned to us, Luke saw us and then saw you, so though in the force, we were with him in spirit now." Obi-wan said smiling and he nodded. "If they get shot here to now, they get to see your entire story to Luke in the flesh now, Brother." he said and the duo nodded. "Know we do, but change this moment and split in two you will be, so our you is this you, Vader, walking around in the flesh, he will be." Yoda said and Obi-wan nodded then.
"We, our souls, just came back from watching the twins and their friends, her boyfriend, is the fighter pilot I recruited." Obi-wan said and Mace nodded in shock. "We're 46, 62, and 900 years old, back in these bodies, weeks prior to his purge and we lost Anakin. We can fix this easily, but we already solved one problem, Anakin told us the truth, we don't mind now. We give him the text on force healing and and that stops his fears." he added and Yoda nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, mind we do not, telling us the truth, but boy we raised once again he is, Vader a cancer he is, one cut out by the roots now, we must." he said and Mace nodded sternly. "We're the last of the council, after Anakin returned to us, he was standing next to Master and me. Luke saw us, and with a smile on his face, before Leia pulled back to join her. Chewbacca, Lando and her husband Han Solo, they were celebrating their victory." Obi-wan said and Mace nodded gently.
"And this is the me you know for sure, but when turned to the darkside, your soul is trapped at the age you turned at, me I was 23, so they saw my 23 year old self. The me you know as a young adult cub, in your eyes, in many ways still a padawan." he said and Mace nodded smiling as Obi-wan squeezed Anakin's shoulder and he patted his wrist, smiling. "But best friend, big brother, mentor, we're back, Palpatine is never going to win." he said and Yoda nodded gently,
"Mace correct he was, there is an entire script on force healing, give this to you, to study I will, but watch Palpatine you must, not let your guard down, dangerous he is, Anakin. Not losing you again, we are." he said and Anakin nodded. "Your idea of the purge, we do that, if Cody was one of his, we're pulling back. Masters Stass, Plo, Ki, you and the others better get back up here, we must plan this carefully, Padme's only got 6 weeks here." Obi-wan said and they nodded gently.
"What happened after I changed back was vengeance, he killed the 4 of you himself." Anakin said and the quartet nodded. "That's Saesee, Agen, you and Kit, Mace." he said and Mace nodded. "What's left of the 12 of us here on the capitol, is the 6 of us, with your brother and the quintet out there right now." Shaak Tii said gently and he nodded to her. "Issues in getting overly protective, you knew my system just crashed, not realizing my remission just ended."
"Vader hijacked my body and dragged me to the arena." he told her and the quintet nodded sternly at the news. "So you just avenged us as your version of the council, he killed us, by the clones or by doing it himself?" Mace said and Anakin nodded. "Yes Mace, that's it exactly, but what was left of my friends, my mentors and Obi-wan's class were my squadron. I can make it so we got him fooled here, but they are on search and destroy all Jedi colors, time to swap."
"Go Grey Jedi and everyone else is safe, leaving only me, Master and Obi-wan, for him is my alter ego, his name Darth Vader, Sidious himself, and Vader's new apprentice." he said and Mace nodded gently. "I'm also the first to go to, come back and live to tell about it, as I train others, I mean other just returned master guardians. That's the knowledge of the ages, only with time, patience and the love of friends and family can you recover from said addiction to it here."
"But use of repeated use of the darkside is like an addiction, till once you try to go cold turkey, it's the strain itself nearly kills you." he said and they all nodded in shock to the reveal. "I call that the level of abuse your body had to put up with here." Mace said in response to that. "But my position as a council member is the start a Jedi dynasty, I'm having twins." he said and they smiled in relief he told them that. "So that's everything." Shaak Tii said gently to him then.
"To crack the code in that prophecy was the galaxy was in peace so long there had to be a time for strife, as everyone realized that the senate is corrupted in certain areas. So he's creating a dictatorship, while for us, we wiped them out, so now it's their turn." He said and they nodded. "But there's the punchline right now, I am the Chosen One, but chosen to create the first ever Jedi dynasty in the male side of my bloodline, and with it to help others like me now, Master."
"As our ranks, Mace, start growing in numbers, there's hundreds of the trio in colors, but we're an endangered species till I fix that and we became a new kind of Jedi." he said and Mace nodded in understanding. "So that sums up the prophecy now." he said and the duo nodded. "And he's getting help by your alter ego in the process, well this explains it, I knew that wasn't you, Vader had control of you, as I tried to talk some sense into him, before we got into it."
"Our styles are virtually identical and they're completely even in a death match." Obi-wan said sternly and he nodded. "Exactly brother, Master, I'll be fine with you and Obi-wan offworld, I got what I need, I can play double agent till you confront him yourself. You just have to cut Vader out of me and then lock and bolt my mental door." he said and Yoda nodded. "Yes, understand I do Padawan, just be careful, will see you when come home, I do." he said and Anakin nodded.
"So we fake that part, I assume that he put the Separatists to death as well, for targeting the Senator?" Mace said and Anakin nodded. "Yeah but this could be considered a disease, a cancer now, I can feel it, Vader's blood lust just activated. So we clone him, and then lock him up mentally, after you take the disabling blows, brother, I know you don't want to do it twice. But that's the only way to take a fully human Jedi, turned Sith, by crippling them now in truth."
"You have to disable me and then you have to do it together, by slamming the door and locking it." he said and they nodded. "That's the only real one, them and Dooku, Brother, just do it and get it over with, and then take me to wherever you and Master took her. Turn and return as quickly I turned, as this punctuates your explanation, Vader, unknowingly. Killed her by a near miscarriage, that's the die in childbirth, after cutting off her oxygen." he said and they nodded.
"And like I said, your alter ego lost all right to being the twins father after doing that." Obi-wan said sternly and they nodded. "This is going to be a long month, but I'll be fine, she knows I'm me again, as do you." he said and the duo nodded smiling in relief. "I want to be a padawan again, so brother?" he asked and Obi-wan smiled gently. "I will, I can take you back my brother, but the Jinn/Kenobi/Skywalker team is back." he said and Yoda chuckled at that remark then.
"And that's the you know again I do, the you raised I did, my padawan returned to me again." he said and he nodded. "It's over we did it, the war ends between our orders as quickly as it starts, we just have your alter ego cloned, you stay with us. And we win, you never turned on everything you and Padme ever believed in now." Obi-wan said and he nodded. "And you with her right now, she loves you like a brother, you're my best friend." he said and he smiled then.
"Obi-wan before this happened, I was going to name you the twins godfather, if Siri was still alive their godmother." he said and Obi-wan smiled gently at that. "Let's just make this look convincing, but Mace get ready for said fight." he said and Mace nodded gently. "Indeed, and may the force be with us all, council adjourned." he said smiling and the duo nodded gently as the duo got up and headed for the archives as he chose a textbook and gave it to Anakin.
And he nodded as he headed for their apartment as Obi-wan looked at his padawan when he was 15 to 20 with his arms folded across his shoulder, and with smiles on their faces. Sighing in relief, he saw the him he knew showing again. 'Love you brother.' he thought gently and Anakin smiled at him and he grinned, knowing he heard that. 'Love you too brother.' he thought back to him and he smiled, feeling a sense of relief he forestalled a repeater, as he took a bag then.
As he took it and left the temple with a smile on his face, as he headed for his apartment, and saw he arrived in the middle of a meeting, as Bail Organa looked up and smiled in delight then. "Guys, honey, good to see you." Anakin said smiling and Padme smiled. "They know now?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah my love they don't mind, I'm another exception to that code now." he said and she smiled as she hugged him tightly and Mon Mothma smiled then gently then.
"She's your consort or your…." she started to say and he nodded. "My wife, we got married at the start of the war after my mandate started." he told her and she nodded smiling. "Three years and she's due next month, so maternity leave starting now." he told her and they nodded. "Baby, I just uncovered a piece to why he put me on the council, he's trying to spy on them, he's either Sith associated or worse." he said and Padme nodded sternly at the news then.
"We've been tricked?" Bail said to clarify and he nodded. "You all come from non violent planets, he's about to go with the dictatorship, after destroying my council." he said and they nodded sternly in anger. "Bail, Mon, with you guys, you're my kids future, they're joining the alliance later, my son is your version of me, as my title. My daughter, she's like her mother right now, but she's a princess turned senator." he said and Padme looked down smiling at the news then.
"Bail did you…" he asked and Bail nodded. "Yeah I did, it's back, it's all back, I can help out, but that's the you I know again for sure." he said and Anakin nodded gently. "Bail, Mon, Crix, I need your help here guys, but Padme now, she's due in 6 weeks. So we got to induce and then clone her, for him." he said and the alliance members nodded. "So to make it look like she had died in childbirth, while you were killed wherever?" Mon said to clarify and he nodded to her gently.
"Exactly, until the time is right the twins are getting basic training, 3 on both sides here, but when you're ready to yank us out of retirement send the boys to me. So we can check the message, I'm taking our son to my step-father's farm, my daughter. She's becoming Padme all over again." he said and the alliance all nodded sternly in relief. "But when the dictatorship was born, as were my babies, a new hope for the New Republic." he said to her and she smiled then.
"We know the truth now, we don't mind either, now that you told us weeks prior." she said and Padme sighed in relief. "What's that exactly?" she asked and he smiled. "Father's instructional manual on force healing." he told her and she nodded smiling. "Well there's the punchline to what you told me, after you were beyond traumatized Annie." she said and he nodded. "My powers already dwarf his, the irony, he killed the only source." he said to her gently at that.
"Why do you sound like you're 46 years old?" she asked and Bail said it smiling. "Because our souls of 23 years into the future, ended up back in these bodies, he just returned. From the darkside and killed the chancellor." he said and she nodded in shock. "So you're a Jedi master and killed whatever title the Chancellor gained, we're free?" Mon said in shock and he nodded. "I am and I did, but my unborn children are their mother and me." he said and they nodded then.
"I was in on protecting the twins, Leia was raised by me, Luke went to his step family, the twins names are Luke and Leia." he said and Padme nodded smiling. "Light and Courage, so courageous light." Padme said smiling and he nodded. "Leia's husband is a male version of you honey, while Leia's like me, so me with the lightsaber, you with the blaster. With them, it's in reverse, him with the blaster, her with the lightsaber." he said and she nodded with a chuckle.
Before she could answer they heard a loud thunk and roar of pain. "Yeah no kidding, where are we exactly?!" they heard and Anakin covered his eyes. "You spoke too soon honey, we got company." she said and he turned. "Hey whoever showed up, can you come onto the terrace please, we're in a rebel meeting!" he said and a group of 4 humans and a wookie appeared. "Whoa, alright rather then where is when, you're a few weeks prior to your birthday guys."
"Son, baby, boys, it's me, remember, when I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master, son remember our last battle, but you were right about me. Tell your sister you and your mother were right all along, you were right." he said and they nodded in shock as the words became familiar at that and the boy said it carefully. "Dad?" he asked and he nodded. "Dad, is that really you, your force ghost, this is you at our age?" he asked and Anakin nodded gently.
"Yeah son, it's me this is your mother and you know the sextet, already, just aged 23 years." he said and they looked at Padme's counterparts and smiled in delight. "Mon, Carl, Agiel, Crix!" her boyfriend said and they all nodded gently as Anakin smiled gently then. "Let me guess, you just came from the battle of Endor?" he asked and they nodded. "Son, remember you saw my soul at my current age, well this is the me your mother and godfather, Bail, knows in truth here."
"Skilled Jedi padawan, well on my way to being the youngest Jedi Master in history now, but what your brother does with the falcon, I do that all the time. We lead our troops like skilled soldiers, that's the cunning warrior remark, and good friend. Well he loves me like a brother, baby brother to be exact." he said and his son nodded. "So this is you as Ben, the sextet and Yoda talk about you?" Luke Skywalker asked and he nodded and they smiled as he said it.
"Kids!" they heard and the trio turned to see Obi-wan walk in then. "Son, boys, remember, after they searched the ship, leave that to me." he said and Han Solo said it gently. "Damn fool I knew you were going to say that." he said and Obi-wan smiled. "Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool that follows him." he said and she started laughing at that. "Yeah that's you alright, Ben." Chewie said with a chuckling growl gently as he looked down and saw Yoda with him.
"Luke, remember you should, my training you, well me this is as your father knows me, Chewbacca, knows and remembers me at this age. Preparing to go to his planet, but leave in the tomorrow night, I do, but at peak of the Clone Wars. That we are in now, before revealed himself to us, Palpatine did." Yoda said and he smiled as he crouched. "So does this mean that you're training me, me and Leia, from a toddler to sum age?" he asked and Yoda nodded gently.
"Indeed Luke it does, but from 4 to 12, train you in basic training my fellow masters and I do, then from 13 to a little older then you are now, one on one with a chosen master." he said and the twins nodded gently. "Mace, Shaak Tii, Agen, Saesee and Kit are on their way here Anakin, they wanted to plan this out, before we set the trap." Obi-wan said and Anakin nodded, smiling. "My friends of the high council, they were the ones Sidious murdered." he said and they nodded.
"The quartet specifically, Shaak Tii was at the temple, but the quintet and I were here, while my mentor, color mentor's, cousin, and the duo. Said along with Plo Koon, Coleman Kcau and Ki Adi Mundi were in the field, at the time the purge happened." he explained and they all nodded. "Your grandfather's team partner, my mentor." Obi-wan elaborated and they nodded. "Yoda told you the truth, he trains us from 4 to 12, before we get picked." he added and Luke nodded then.
"So said picture, that one on the table, that is you guys a few years ago, before you got back together with mom?" Han said and they both nodded. "We were 3 years into our partnership in this picture guys, but first rule, like I open up to you, you have to let, invite, me in. So in order for complete trust, it's you have to invite me in and tell us what you're afraid of here. But my only fear was losing someone I love, but what Master meant when he said that to you now."
"Is Fear to lose something leads to desperation to prevent it from happening, desperation leads to anger at what is delaying you from heading it off. While anger leads to hate at what took it from you and the catalyst that helped it to happen. And hate, if not checked at the blast door leads to suffering as you do something you can not take back. Say you losing total control and cutting this arm off a second time." he said, removing his glove and showed him his arm then.
"I lost that to your great grandfather, but the reason I charged ahead was to prevent a repeat of the raiders that killed your grandmother. Your mother knew about that and I just revealed that to the council, there are things in my past. Said that revealed, I was tricked all along, but our souls of 23 years into the future got thrown back to the next 6 weeks. You're due just as Darth Sidious begins construction of the first Death Star." he said and the quintet nodded in shock.
"Do we know this guy, if he's building that thing?" Han asked and he nodded. "By his real name and rank, his non force sensitive alias is Emperor Sheev Palpatine." he said and they nodded. "So that's his real name, Senator to Chancellor and now Emperor, and he created a dictatorship, and turned everything we believed in, into a scandal. Yes alright, knowing we're about to have your alter ego on the loose, I know the difference." Mon said sternly to that and he nodded then.
"Yeah I got to grow my arm back, but a fully human Jedi turned Sith, one my age is a wild animal, so in order to take me alive, and in atonement for the lives I took. That's Dooku and the separatists as well, in addition to what I did in our time-line right now. Is take off the other three, and then put me under, as you slam the door shut, lock it. And bolt it shut mentally, Vader's cloned and walking around in the flesh." he said and then answered his first question.
"But yes it's me, this was your godfather and me when I was 15." he said passing a picture of himself and his mentor to Luke and he smiled gently. "Everything he told you is true, from a certain point of view, our view as the me your godfather, grandfather, Master Yoda, the Rebel leaders and your mother know me, was and is Vader betrayed everything. Everything I believed in, everything your mother and I thought to be true, the murder was by killing your mother."
"And out of broken heart, the how is your mother, let alone your Jedi aunt, her name is Darra Thel Thanis, or her mentor, your godmother. They all would say the only way they could die is by losing me to Sidious and the darkside, but the truth never got spoken. In your version, as your memories get rewritten right now in our family, but I never knew that part. I would never hurt a child or an unarmed prisoner, or kill in cold blood that's betray me, I never used this unless."
"In truth, if I have to, but this one did the deed, said that slaughtered the separatist leaders, and the siege at the temple, tried to kill your godfather, it's now. After we're done becoming what it is, and before Obi-wan comes to get me. I'm changing colors, this lightsaber is going red now, and leaving it there, but the killed me was in the trying to kill you. You and your mother, he killed me in the process, I thought you were dead." he said and she and Luke nodded angrily.
"So you been living in pained loneliness for 23 years, because you thought Vader killed us too?" Leia Organa said as the tears started pouring down her face and he nodded and she hugged him tightly then. "Just age us 23 years you two, and you'll know us when you see us as our adult selves." he said and she and Luke closed their eyes as their faces aged to their version's as he saw himself, dressed in his Jedi clothes with his father at his side, their mother with her then.
"Yeah we want this, we want you back, if this means we see the truth through your eyes, then we want our family back together." she said and Padme hugged her tightly then. "Understand we do, Leia, believe me, fix this we can, but your deepest emotions, bury them deep. Do you credit they do, but made to serve Sidious, they could be." Yoda said gently and Luke looked at Obi-wan. "You told me that after I realized I was a twin." he said and Obi-wan nodded gently to him.
"There's a lot to understand in our time, but for now, you see the days when I lost your parents, before we decided to train you first, but your names means courage and light. So courageous light, doing what your father did, by firing blind, he realized what was. And then realized you survived, before digging deeper and the resulting Lightsaber in the back. Was realizing Leia was his daughter and she was alive, but you needed that lesson." he said and Luke nodded gently.
"We're two sides of the same whole, so kill either of us and the other dies with them, out of heartbreak, Vader nearly killed all 3 of you in your godfather's opinion. He lost all right to claim you as his children, I'm your father, I'm you as an adult of 46 years old." Anakin said and Luke nodded. "Still good in you, I knew there was good in you still, just needed a strong enough jolt to bring it out now." he said and Padme smiled as she gripped his father's hand tightly then.
"Indeed, you're 23 now, but 23 years later, I'm 46, your mother is 51." he said and the twins nodded gently. "Your mother was the queen of her home planet for 8 years, she spent 5 years as a senator now, Dorme, can you come in please!" he called out and she came in. "Guys this was your nanny, Dorme, when your mother and I were together, she knew your mother. In truth was pregnant with you, just never knew, not one, but two, Obi-wan hid you to protect you."
"Here." he said and passed him his lightsaber and he turned it on and saw the same sky blue he remembered. "Ben told you the truth, I wanted you to have that when you're ready, but Owen was scared after Palpatine got to me he would get to you next." he explained and the twins nodded. "You were the key to freeing me and your sister was the final stab in the back, but your mother's thoughts were the same: still good in me, I just needed a strong enough blow now."
"To come out and you gave it to me by leaving your thoughts open." he said and they nodded smiling in relief. "But you and Han are us in the next generation honey, me with the lightsaber your mother with the blaster." he said and they looked down smiling. "And son, your grandfather is a Jedi Master, he's a friend of the family." he said and their companion nodded. "After a fast talk, our souls got thrown back into these bodies." he said and Luke nodded in shock then.
"I'm naming Obi-wan your godfather kids, as such, Leia, he's your future mentor when you're old enough, your brother goes to me." he said and the twins nodded. "Issues in my family, they get dangerous on any number of levels here." Padme said and Han started laughing. "Tell me about it, I changed after they released me from the carbonite, but things changed. I'm a member of the alliance and I love your daughter Sir, Mam." he said and Anakin nodded gently.
"Honey, these are our children Luke and Leia, Leia's husband Han Solo, his co-pilot Chewbacca and their friend Lando Calrissian." he said and Padme nodded gently. "Well boyfriend right now, I never proposed to her yet, Anakin." Han said with a bemused smile and Mon hid a chuckle. "And I don't mind, but if you're here for a few weeks, honey, son, and in truth here now, so you get to see me, like everyone talks about me knows me." he said and they nodded gently then.
"But what happened was directly after neutralizing your grandfather's mentor, Master assigned me to watching Palpatine, waiting for any indication he was associated with our Sith. Or he was our Sith, till Palpatine told me about a Sith legend, Darth Plaeguis the wise. Who could manipulate the force in order to create life, he could keep the people he loved alive. But there were only two who had that knowledge, your grandfather and Plaeguis, so question now."
"How could he know that legend exactly?" he asked and Lando crossed his arms. "He's associated with said Sith or he is our Sithmaster, the one we been looking for." Mon said and Anakin nodded. "It's the second, my alter ego swallowed the fishing hook and dragged me to the arena, just as Mace got ready to give the killing blow. Vader over-whelmed my control, cut Mace's wrist off and Palpatine blasted him out the window." he said and they nodded shocked.
"Grr!" Chewie said, pointing out the window, and the quartet moved to the balcony and saw what he was showing. "The star destroyers, storm troopers!" Leia said in shock and Anakin nodded. "It's all self full-fulfilling prophecy from here, answering every single question to what destroyed our family guys." Anakin said and they nodded. "So we get a few weeks getting to know the you we wanted to know, and get to know mom, before you raise us yourselves."
"This is great!" Luke said smiling and he nodded gently. "Ben and Master were not kidding son, you're so much like me, they were afraid of you doing what I did. But the future is never set, there is no fate but what we make of it, I got to cut it close that night. But otherwise we're okay, but the separatists are being spelled for execution for all the assassination attempts. On your mother, that's the betray me." he said and the quintet and the committee nodded gently then.
"So what's the murder exactly?" Han asked him and he sighed. "Your mother and I are two halves of the same whole, kill one of us, and the other dies. Out of a broken heart, Vader killed her by a broken heart, and in turn I died after realizing here. That he could have killed my entire family, till I realized after your brother did it blindfolded. Luke was alive, before he left the mental door open and I realized his sister was alive." he said and the twins looked down gently.
"So that's what Obi-wan meant, betrayed you: he betrayed everything they trained you to be, like they trained me to be now. I will never turn, I would never turn if I had no choice, murdered you: he killed mom out of broken heart. And in turn we lose you in the process, it was never what we first thought, we get to see the entire story through your eyes now." Luke said and he nodded. "Exactly son, but learner is really padawan learner." he said and they nodded gently.
"When I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master, your godfather took me back, I got another 3 years and make master at your 7 birthday. Oh guys one other thing, but Han, did you run into an old woman, a crone, that tried to flag you down?" he asked and Han nodded. "Her name is Vima Da Boda, her padawan is the father of your surrogate kid brother. Your baby brother's best friend." he said and the trio nodded. "The Durrons." he said to clarify to them.
"Your clan as we come back after destroying the Death Star, all the Jedi but me, Obi-wan and Yoda go Grey Jedi now." he said and Bail smiled sternly. " Yes I remember the situation that night, so you playing him for a fool this means you're telling your side of the regiment. To go on maximum stun and I see whoever disregarded orders, try to kill Zet and you tell me to leave. And get the duo, before we end it on Mustafar." he said and Anakin nodded to him at that.
"My best female friend, she's a Jedi version of Amee, she was killed out of lack of vision and greed, my idiot ex best friend killed her out of a busted lightsaber, my rival. He's the source of said rant I gave you, both times Padme." he told her and she nodded sternly to the news. "Well that's everything I need to know, I almost lost you because of their idiocy. I can't live without you, and vice versa, two halves of the same whole." she said and he nodded smiling gently.
"The council decided to combine together with you Mon, Bail, both sides together as one." he said and the group nodded smiling. "So we both know now, and…." Mon asked and he nodded gently. "She's pregnant, the children are mine, we're having twins." he said and she nodded smiling gently. "This book was the key now, I'm okay now, but this was a Sith trap, for the Jedi, it follows a similar pattern to Offworld's ex owner, a Dark Jedi." he said and she smiled in relief.
"My alter ego became the second most wanted man in the galaxy, known as Darth Vader." he said and they nodded gently. "And this switched from Empire and Rebellion to the Sith/Rebel wars." Mon said to clarify and he nodded to her. "We're called the Rebellion Alliance." Madine said and Anakin nodded. "The Jedi are combining with you, but I told them, after the raid, to go Grey Jedi." he said and they all nodded in relief. "Long month." Obi-wan said and they nodded.
"Indeed and I see we have guests, let me guess, you are the twins fully grown?" they heard and Luke turned to see two black men, a caucasian woman and 4 aliens and all carrying lightsabers. "We are, uh Master?" he said and he nodded. "High council Jedi Masters Mace Windu, Shaak Tii, Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar and Saesee Tiin son, these two are Jedi Masters Damon Calrissian. And Tiana Merrin, well I see it clearly, you look like your father, your sister like your mother, Luke."
"I take you got attacked by something if there's a scar across that eye?" he asked and he nodded. "Wampa ice creature, we were on Hoth, before the force dictated we get Lando next." he said and they nodded. "Hey son, it's me." Damon said smiling and Lando smiled. "Grandpa, so you're a Jedi Master." he said and Damon nodded gently. "That was actually never a trap, I had to get you and the twins back together." he said and the trio nodded in shock to that news.
"The force, you, brought us back together by using Han to do it, and Laren with him?!" he said in shock and Damon nodded. "Laren was just a means to an end, but Han is Leia's destiny, Han belongs to Leia, he always did." he said and the trio smiled. "Uh oh." they heard through a beep and Lando started laughing at that. "Yeah uh oh alright, Artoo is that you, buddy?" Han said smiling amused and he beeped and came forward as they saw him and C-3PO at that remark.
"Master and Mistress?" Artoo asked and they smiled. "Yeah it's us Artoo, we're adults now, but unborn babies in your time, we're 23 years old." Leia said and he beeped happily, as she looked at him. "So Master Luke and Mistress Leia, I understand, Master Solo are you Mistress Leia's boyfriend or are you her…." Threepio started to say and he smiled. "Boyfriend Threepio, we just got together, before we got sent here, but 23ABY." he said and they nodded gently at the news.
