Blue Waters: episode #33 Anakin goes to the Council and up through Minka's baby
Previously: Anakin captured the gwythaints using the Force,
which was an action done working for the Sith.
Then Darth Sidious says, "You've done
well. I will call for you if I am ever
in need of you for any future services."
Anakin Skywalker left Palpatine to himself. He was planning to
inform the Jedi of the situation. Anakin came before the council.
'There is something I
must tell you."
Each member of the council looked curiously at Anakin.
Anakin continues, "The entire galaxy is in danger. The Sith
master is Supreme Chancellor Palpatine."
One Council member
looked at the other…all around the room.
"And how do you know
this," asks one.
Anakin says, "because he
tricked me into coming to him. I
escaped."
Anakin had thought it
best to not mention that he had captured the gwythaints.
Another council member
says, "And we cannot tell the Senate because all the top people are Palpatine's
men."
"Been going on for a
long time, this has," says Yoda. "Anakin, finish your training you must. You are our only hope. Then, a fully trained Jedi will you be.
Then and only then can you defeat Palpatine. Face him, you must."
Anakin says, "Oh, I'm going to…believe me…"
"Not until your
training is finished," reminds Yoda.
Anakin nods. Anakin goes to Obi-Wan to start his training
up again. During the next month, it
became very clear that the gwythaints were missing. Dalben has not seen
them since the day he informed the Queen. The Jedi Council spread news to
members of the Senate to inform them that they were in a very dangerous
situation. Palpatine has started to
build up the Republic Navy…he actually had before he had met with Anakin. A
group of Senators and other people have begun resisting him. The next time
Anakin saw Samantha, this is what happens.
Samantha says to Anakin on one of their night walks, "The
gwythaints are missing. Anakin, Do you
think you can get the Jedi to do something about it?"
Anakin avoided looking
at her as he mumbled, "I can try."
Samantha thought his reaction to this statement was weird, but
she didn't think much of it.
Anakin says, "Palpatine is the Sith Master."
Samantha says. Anakin. Be careful! He used me! He didn't care about Naboo!
Palpatine had not
contacted Anakin, and would not for another 8 months, that means there are 16
months left of the story. (Yes, I'm
keeping track of time) Anakin and Samantha continued on seeing each other. I mentioned a resistance group. I think I misled you…. they're a very
small # of people that resist Palpatine…and they can't really openly do it
because several people that had had later been found dead in such a way that
only the Sith Master could do. AS far
as anyone knew, Palpatine had no apprentice. A month later, Marion was due. She called in Rhun. This would be their
second child. They had a baby girl in
which they named Riana. The next month Bantha Stephanie would have her baby (a
year before the end of Blue Waters). Palpatine was really excited! This
would be his first child! The child
came out, a female, and they named her Ursula Pricilla Kritch. (Remember, Kritch is Palpatine's real last
name. Palpatine is his middle.) The next month, Minka was ready to give
birth. (This one will be a little more
involved) Arawn took his wife to
Palpatine.
As soon as they got there, Palpatine says, "Look at my new
daughter. Unfortunately, she doesn't
have a very high force."
Arawn glances at her,
ten at Palpatine and says, "She's lovely, but I need you to help me with my
wife."
In truth, little Ursula
was the ugliest baby Arawn had ever seen. Palpatine called in his personal doctor. The doctor, too, had been one
of Palpatine's people. Both Arawn and Palpatine knew that they had to be
discrete about Minka's pregnancy because Minka was the identical twin of
Samantha, and they couldn't risk having anyone friendly to her know. Moments later Minka and Arawn had a son.
As soon as he was born,
Palpatine says, "Due to the situation, I think it best that we do something to
the child. Give it up for adoption."
Palpatine's real reason
for this would be to make the child's identity unknown just in case someone
found out about Minka.
Until next time!
