REPOST: I have made a few minor changes to a few of my chapters just a few
bits added here and there!
Disclaimer: Gundam Boys = not mine, Star Wars = not mine!
Rating: PG-13 (for now)
Authors Note: I'm just borrowing the G-boys for a little while and placing them in the Star Wars universe don't worry I will put them back when I'm finished!
For those of you who know nothing about Star Wars I will now and then add a little glossary, but if I forget to add anything or you just get confused e- mail me and I will explain.
Warnings: Yaoi and Het Relationships. Mild violence. Oh, Yoda's speech may become annoying but after the prologue, he becomes more of a background character.
Pairings: 3+4, 2+H, 5+S and 1+N *Shrugs shoulders at last pairing, I didn't want to put Heero and Relena together because I need her later*
Dedications: To my two wonderful Friends Em and Deb for their support and to my pet rats Piccallo and Milly for just being cute.
Trials of an Apprentice (Gundam Wars)

Prologue
A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far, Far Away....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----
"Master Yoda, I apologise for disturbing you but Ambassador Winner from the outer ring is demanding to speak with the council immediately."
"About what does he wish to speak?" Yoda asked, turning to the young Jedi knight who stood with his head bowed in the centre of the council chambers.
"I do not know for sure Master, but I believe it is about his son."
"Ahh, tell Master Windu I will, gather the rest of the council."
"Yes Master." The young Jedi replied before bowing once again and leaving the small green Jedi to his thoughts. It had been a while since his last failed meeting with the Ambassador, he only hoped that this time would not end in the manor as their last.
~*~
"Master Windu I have come to see." Yoda told one of the Padawans as he entered the main training room. All around him many Apprentices and Masters alike were practicing training exercises or involved relaxation techniques.
"Yes sir." The young man answered with out question. "I'll take you straight to him."
Yoda followed him across the large room to wards one of the smaller training rooms meant for the training of new apprentices. The young man stopped outside the doorway allowing Yoda to enter alone.
He spotted Master Windu immediately in the centre of the room. He was surrounded by a group of new recruits, between the ages of four and seven years old all dressed in the customary brown robes and each had the beginnings of a traditional thin braid starting to grow at the base of their necks.
Windu nodded to Yoda as he entered before turning back to the children.
"Return to your masters now, we shall meet again in a few hours, for now go and reflect on what I have just taught to you."
"Yes Master Windu." They chanted before scrambling to their feet, one of them racing to towards the door.
"Padawan Maxwell. What did I tell you about running when inside the temple?" Windu scowled.
"Ohh, you told him that it was dangerous and that."
"Shut up Dorothy." A young Duo hissed, scowling at the blonde girl before turning back to his teacher. "I'm sorry Master Windu I'll remember next time."
"Let's hope there won't be a next time."
"Yes Sir."
"Right now off you go." Windu sighed as the rest of the youngsters left the room, before moving towards Yoda. "They have so much to learn, especially that young Maxwell." He grinned.
"Yes but learn Mace, they shall in time." Yoda promised, the mood suddenly becoming serious.
"What is it you wished to talk to me about Master?"
"Ambassador Winner has arrived, speak to the council he wishes."
"About his son?" Mace asked as they began to walk out of the training rooms and back towards the council chambers.
Yoda nodded his expression sombre.
"Changed his mind it seems."
"So I would assume, thankfully the boy is still young enough to be trained."
~*~
Once Masters Yoda and Windu were seated with in the main chamber with the rest of the council Yoda asked for Ambassador Winner and his son to enter.
Every eye of every council member fell upon the two figures that entered less than a minute later, and immediately Yoda began.
"Come about the boy you have?" Yoda asked the tall man that now stood in the centre of the room the council seated in a circle around him. A young boy no older than 4 or 5 years of age stood to one side of the man glancing at the strangers in brown robes.
"Yes, I want my son to be tested."
"Refused you did, when once we offered to test the boy!" Yoda stated turning to look at the boy.
"That's true," Master Mace Windu said, speaking to the man while his dark eyes also fixed upon the small boy. "Ambassador Winner why do you wish us to test the boy now, when less than a year ago you refused to have him tested?"
Mr Winner shifted his feet he was a big man and wasn't easily intimidated but being surrounded by a room full of Jedi that could all sense your feelings was slightly unnerving.
"His gifts are getting stronger."
"As we said they would." Windu reminded him. "His mother was once a great Jedi, he is expected to become very powerful."
"Yes I know, but he has become much stronger than I ever thought possible. I believed that if I left him untrained his gifts would diminish but that hasn't happened. He needs to be trained so he can control them before it kills him!" Mr Winner pleaded placing his hand on top of the pale blonde hair on his sons head.
"What does the boy say?" Mace asked.
"Quatre, do you wish to be trained?" The boy's father asked, kneeling down to look his son in the eye. "Do you want to become a Jedi?"
The boy looked thoughtful for a moment. His blonde hair half covering his curious blue eyes.
"Like Mama." He said quietly.
"Yes." His father said gently, "Just like your Mother."
Quatre nodded at his father.
"I want to be like Mama."
Mr Winner sighed before pulling his young child into his arms.
"You already are, and I love you even more for being a living replica of both her strength and kindness."
"So the boy is willing." Windu stated, interrupting the emotional moment between father and son. "We will need to discuss this further with the boy, with out your presence. We will inform you when a decision is formed."
"Of course," said Ambassador Winner as he stood taking Quatres hand for a moment in reassurance before releasing it and leaving the room.
~*~
Outside the Councils Chambers:
Mr Winner began to pace, it had been almost twenty minutes since the council had informed him that they would indeed test the boy straight away. Leaving him to roam the seemingly endless corridors of the temple alone, with nothing but his thoughts.
"Father!" He turned suddenly towards the voice behind him. "I thought I could sense you here."
"Iria."
"What are you doing here?" She asked her face was pale at the unexpected sighting. When she and her father had last seen each other they had not parted on good terms.
"I'm here to talk to the council Iria." He said glancing at his daughter and then back towards the room where the council were still congregated.
"Not about me I hope." She stated, glaring at him.
"No, you made your decision about staying here and now you must live with the consequences it is no longer my place to interfere in your affairs."
Iria stared at him her eyes wide, that was not the answer she had been expecting. He had always been adamant that her choice of training as a Jedi healer was wrong, and that a lifetime commitment to the Jedi order was a task few would be able to commit too.
"Then what are you doing here?" She asked sounding less aggressive now.
"Quatre is getting worse he wakes almost every night screaming, because of someone else's nightmares. He can no long touch anyone with out knowing how they feel, and being so young, it frightens him. I have to know if they can help him." If she hadn't been looking, Iria would have missed the look of remorse that flashed across his eyes. "I should have let them test him months ago."
"You did what you thought was best for him at the time." She sighed stepping closer to her father, close enough to gently, put her arms around his neck, embracing him for the first time in almost three years. This wasn't how she remembered her father, maybe this situation with her brother had changed him. "Are they testing him now?"
"Yes his been in there for a while now, I just hope it won't take much longer." He hugged her back gently.
"They won't hurt him father, they sent you out so that they could ask him questions about how he feels with out you distracting him with your thoughts and emotions."
"I know, I just wish it was over." He sighed. "This is all your mothers fault." He said in jest, grinning slightly.
"Well you should have thought about that before falling head over heals for a very powerful Jedi." She smiled, pulling out of the embrace but taking his hand instead. "Mother would have been proud of you for going against your own feelings to help her son."
"Remind me in my next life to stay away from more powerful beings than myself."
"Don't worry I will." Iria laughed "But I think that mother also had the choice to be with you or not."
"That's true she gave up her life as a Jedi for me."
~*~
20 Minutes later.
"I agree." Mace said glancing around at the rest of the council. "The boy must be trained for his sake as well as for the sake of those around him. He must learn how to control his abilities, but who will train him all the masters looking for apprentices have already chosen their padawans."
~*~
Mr Winner had once again been called, and now stood within the councils circle his small son by his side. Both father and son looked nervous, Mr Winner more so as his only sons future was decided in front of him.
"I will train the boy." Said a giant of a man as he stepped forward into the centre of the circle.
"You Rashid, train the boy, take him on as your apprentice you would?" Yoda questioned "Sure you are?"
"Yes Master Yoda, I am ready to once again take on another padawan."
"Very well then," Mace said from his seat.
"Train the boy you shall." Yoda agreed.
