Standard disclaimer applies for all characters. I just wished they were mine so I can be rich.
A/N: There will be nothing in this story that's dates to the book series called Jedi Quest this is just pure Ranma and Star wars AU. Anakin is being trained by Both Ranma and Obi-wan Kenobi are Anakin master but only one well live to be at the end and the start of Ep four. And I can tell you its not Ranma.
Anyways This story came to me on a note. It was right after I saw the last ep. ( that being ep 3)
and the Idea won't live me alone. Don't you hate when that happens?
Anyways Here's chapter 3 and 4. With four leading up to Attack of the Clones. Which should be up sometime in the near future. Oh yeah one more thing and this is kind of a vote. Should I do the complete saga or just stop where three ends? Oh on a side note Ranko story will be told. Well enough talk out of me Im sure your dying to read. May the Force be with You.
Chapter Three: The Test of time.
Five years later.
He got up like he always does. Slips on his gi and head to the dojo there he would sit and mediate on the days studies. Then he would go into a steady kata he learned his first day here. 'Soon I can build my lightsaber.' He thought, he stayed calm at all times. Who knew that he could go though the basics of the samurai art so fast. He called it that because the lessons he learned in the local school he was in as part of his training.
'Why do I need school if Im going to be a Jedi anyways?' Anakin thought as he finished the last rounds of his kata before getting a kendo sword off the wall. Then he would go into a sword kata next. Before he started Anakin ran his hand though his sort hair. As costume for all Jedi trainees he had a ponytail in the back and a long bread over on his right side. He found it easy to work around.
'Master Saotome was sure surprised at how fast I learned martial arts. I'm almost at his level when he first came here. Then master Obi-wan was even more surprised at the basic training for a jedi was easily mastered.' The young Padawan thought. Using the force He went into stage three of his morning work out, he used another kendo stick and practice on using two swords at once. 'I feel like I'm in control of the force, just like Master Qui-gon told me.' Anakin stopped with that thought. Was it true? Was he destine to between balance back to the force? ' only time well tell I suppose.' Anakin thought.
Ranma smiled at the young man as he went though his kata like it was second nature to him. It was the truth, he was a fast learner. The three of them became fast friends, in a way Anakin looked at Obi-wan like a brother. "Ranma you got a call from Master Yoda." Akane called out.
'That's odd.' Ranma thought. Ranma went to the hologram camlik device that was put in sometime ago. 'Oh that right time for my yearly update on the two trainees.' Ranma thought.
"Yes Master Yoda?" Ranma asked.
Jedi Master Yoda smiled back. The aged master was small and green, if you look closely enough you can see the wisdom of ages in his aging eyes. "Greetings Master Saotome. Good news I have." Ranma looked puzzled for a second. "Xian Pu passed her test she did." Ranma smiled, it was good news indeed, still Ranma had to bit back a laughter, after all these years the why Yoda talked was still funny to the young Jedi.
"That's more then good news Master Yoda. Have she decided on join the Samurai Order or when she remain a Knight?" Ranma asked this of everyone who became a Jedi, some choose to be trained more for the elite Jedi and others liked the way things where. "Sadly no, Wish to remain a Knight she does." Master Yoda said back. Ranma nodded at this. "Still it was good news to know that Xian became a jedi Mother most be proud of her." The Aged master nodded.
"How goes the training of young Skywalker?" Ranma was ready for this. "He training with me is almost complete, Still I feel that he could learn more so he was enrolled at the local school as a way to educate as well as to test his emotions. So far he's passing all his studies. Master Obi-wan is thinking his ready for built his lightsaber." Ranma reported.
"Strange way you teach younglings Master Ranma." Yoda smiled. "But so great skills your Samurai do. Luck I wish for you in the up coming months." Ranma Bowed to the aged Master before the message was done. "So Xian is a Jedi Now?" Ranko asked as she came down stairs.
"Yeah, but she wants to remain a Knight." Ranma told his sister. "Is everything ready for Anakins next test?"
Ranko nodded. "Are you sure about this, he is still young." Ranma knew ranko cared for both Anakin and Obi-wan, almost to a point were Ranko feel in love with a certain knight. Ranma just smiled. "He's ready. As to up Obi-wans' training its starts the day after tomorrow after Anakins builds his saber." Ranko smiled. "I have several crystals ready for him to choice from. " Ranko said.
After his morning work out Anakin headed to the furo for his morning soak. He was briefly stopped by Ranma just to tell him that he was going to go ahead and permission Anakin to build his Lightsaber. The Smile on Anakins' face could light a room.
After about ten minutes for the furo Anakin quickly dressed in his school uniform and headed down stairs. Ranko was just setting the table for breakfast when she saw Anakin coming down.
" I take it you heard the news?" She asked. "Yes I can't believe it do you really think I'm ready Sensi Ranko?" The young Jedi asked. Ranko smiled. "Yes I do we all think your ready to build it."
Anakin looked at Ranko. "Sensi, why did you give up being a Jedi?" Ranko had a sad look on her face. "Anakin I'm not ready to answer that just yet. Maybe some other time." Anakin nodded his head. "I under stand Sensi, when your ready." Ranko smiled.
Anakin walked on the chain link fence as was a part of his training in balance. He walked with hand hands in his pocket he was a little worried about his sensi. The had a close brother/sister relationship, it helped to get through the pain of being away from his mother. She was there when he needed her, but for some reason she hide her feeling from others. Why he couldn't understand.
He was cut off from his thoughts when his school came into view. Anakin smiled.
Back at the Tendo dojo Obi-wan and Ranko faced each other, kendo sticks at the ready. A Yell of Begin was heard and the two strike at each other at almost lighting fast speed. Both was good Obi-wan knew he was better the his was five years ago.
When Ranma said he had to learn all over again, he knew Ranma wasn't lying. Even though some of the martial arts training was weird. Who knew that washing and waxing cars, sand the floors around the dojo, painting both the fence and the house was training? Then there was strange training as well as balance training, there was times when Obi-wan wanted to kill his master.
Then he was reminded strongly not to lose his anger.
Obi-wan focus more on the here and now like Master Qui-gon taught him. Blocking Rankos thrust and then swinging his kendo sword up in a vertical slash which was blocked. Either was getting the upper hand now. Their sparing was now like a dance each one swinging the wooden swords each one trying to get the upper hand.
It was a long time before they stopped, this was more fun then they first thought it would be! The couple laughed and joked together as they sparred, secretly watching for a weakness to be exposed. But their careful watching betrayed them. They fought most of the day, and it was only by accident that Obi-wan won. Ranko wasn't paying attention to her feet and tripped over a loose floor board. It resulted in the classic 'crash into another person move.'
Which in turn caused Obi-wan to fall on his back. They stayed that way for awhile near, Obi-wan arms wrapped around Ranko small frame. "Sorry, I knew we should have gotten that fixed before we sparred." Ranko said after a minute. She got up and walked to the door. "You win" was all she said before leaving a confused Jedi knight.
She sighed as she walked the streets of Nerima, why was she feeling this way? She knew why though, know one was superpose to be alone in the world. Even a Jedi Knight can fall in love.
'But Im not a Jedi anymore.' Ranko thought. Sure she train Jedi Knight to be something more
but it was hard. She looked after Anakin like a older sister to a brother, no matter what. But now, now was bad. 'Why him? Why?' Ranko was so lost in her thoughts she didn't notice the grave in front of her. Blinking out of her thoughts she looked at the grave stone. She smiled, even though the person wasn't well known for his smarts he was a good person...Somewhat.
"Help me father, you're my only hope." Ranko said.
Tendo Dojo.
"I don't know about this Master Saotome, He is still age." Ranma looked at Obi-wan.
"We, were already in agreement Obi-wan. He has master the sword skills we both taught him. I think he ready to build it." 'It' was being Anakin's lightsaber. Everything was set out and ready.
An lineament of crystal laid in wait for the boy to choice form.
"What about you? Want a second as back up?" It was something he asked of all the students that he trained. "I'll pass on the thought Master Saotome." Obi-wan said. " I just hope he doesn't get the Idea of building a double bladed saber." Ranma raised an eyebrow at the thought.
" he is pretty good isn't he?" Ranma asked. Obi-wan nodded. "Yes. I am glade you where there to help me train him."
Ranma nodded. "We did promise. But he has much to learn still. The one good thing is that in a few more years we won't have anything more to train him with." Ranma words hit home. It was true Anakin was a fast learner like Ranma was. It was decided that Anakin no matter what will become a Jedi at the age of 21. If they can stretch it that long if not then Anakin will become a Jedi at the age of 19. Regardless Anakin will be a Jedi.
Elsewhere.
Nodoka Saotome find herself crying. She was glade her student became a Jedi but was sad to see her go. Xian Pu Wong ( A/N: Okay I know Xian Pu doesn't really have a last name. But she's not a amazon in this fic.) Was more then her padawan, she was a friend who helped her to understand her son better. Told be told. When Genma left to train Ranma in martial arts he made a promise that would make her son Ranma into a man among men.
That never worked out seeing as how Ranma became force sensitive. Then there was the arrival of Master Jedi Mace Windu. He saw the talent in young Ranma. Nodoka Knew what was going to happen next. At seven years old Ranma was tested. And past. Now with the appearance of young Skywalker, it was unsure of which one was the chosen one.
Was it possible that there maybe two chosen ones? Anakin skills are just like Ranma. The only different was their up bringing. While Ranma led somewhat a normal life, Anakin led a young life as a slave yet he was selfless enough to care for others. Like her son Ranma and was growing into a fine young man. Ranko seems to be helping with that.
Ranko. Nodoka sighed. Her daughter was entirely different. She was a powerful jedi until her father died. It wasn't her fault that Genma was killed by that sith warrior. Genma wasn't a Jedi but he was a great marksmen when it can to blaster fire.
Shortly after his death Ranko couldn't handle being a jedi. She left. Forever shutting off her lightsaber.
Now there was the new and equally powerful Jedi Samurai. unlike the jedi knights the jedi samurai
are more skilled in arm to arm combat and well as enhance sword kills, but one thing was ever more different from the two. Emotions are not a liability, were the knight had to force their emotion away and obey a rule of no attachment, Ranma train his students to let go with out the lost of emotions. Ranma also teaches that Anger and hate are not allies but an enemy. This is what makes the jedi samurai more then a match for the knights.
Those that become samurai are less likely to turn. Why? No one really knows. One thing for sure though, the old jedi masters were wrong about emotions being the enemy. Is it possible that what the sith found out all though years ago? Only they use hate, fear and suffering as their fuel.
Nodoka shook her head, it couldn't be. With a Heavy sigh Nodoka sent out for her home planet of Terra.
School was out and Anakin hurried back to the dojo. Jumping on the fence and running on top
of it and using the powers of the force to enhance his speed he made it back in record time. He already decided on the type of saber he liked. Since Anakin liked the staff and was really good at it he decided to make the same type as Master Ranma. The double bladed Lightsaber. Blue blade of course.
"I'm Home!." Anakin called out.
"Hey Ani, Welcome home." Akane called back. "Ranma and Ryoga are sparing at the moment and Obi-wan is talking with Ranko." She told the Young Jedi.
"Really, Hopeful they are talking about their feeling for each other." Anakin said back.
It was no secret that Ranko and Obi-wan liked each other. Anakin hurried to the dojo just as Ranma and Ryoga was finishing there sparring match which of course having Ryoga end up in the koi pond. "Damn you Ranma you used the force again didn't you?" Ryoga yelled back.
"You wish fang face." Ranma said back. Anakin smiled at the two. "Hey nice match Master Ranma." Anakin yelled out.
"Hello Ani." Ryoga greeted. Anakin helped Ryoga out of the pond and Akane handed him a towel. "Well, looks like the gang is getting together later to give Xian a party for being come a Jedi." Ryoga told Anakin.
"That's great Ryoga when is she coming?" The young learner asked. Ranma looked at Anakin.
"Sometime tomorrow. So ready to built your saber?" Ranma asked leading the teen to the work bench. "Sure am Master Ranma."
Ranma set Anakin down. " Now remember what was told. What you build will become a put of you. You must be sure that the Lightsaber you build, will be right for you, for you'll have it until it breaks, or if you are killed." Ranma reminded his young student. With though words everyone left Anakin alone to build his weapon or weapons as the case maybe.
As he was left alone Anakin really thought this through, even all though out the school day he thought about it. The hilts needed to be able to connect at the ends, this will make it easier to be able to use two lightsabers instead of one, it also a good idea to make the blade a little longer As well. The Idea is to be ready fast so a quick twist of both hilt interlock and two becomes one.
Also there was the length factor as well, just one mistake could cost you your life. Again Anakin made a change in design of the hilt making it a little bigger then normal. Using caution before fitting the crystal in the camber of the hilt Anakin tested the hilt to see it if felt right. It did. It felt better then the practice sabers he used to work with. Once more before the crystal he worked on the other hilt of his saber. After a quick test he then started working on the crystal.
Once the crystals was in place Anakin used the force to check the activated blades hilts. Sensing no danger, Anakin double bladed Lightsaber was ready for testing.
"Oh dear, Why do I have a feeling Im going to regret this?" Anakin heard Obi-wan.
Ranma smiled. "Good job, Anakin. You did everything just right."
Anakin smiled. "Thank you Master Ranma, Master Obi-wan. It was your training that told me to use caution when building a lightsaber. I choose the Double bladed Lightsaber not because it's a cool weapon but because two sabers are better then one. It proven it your training Masters."
Anakin Said with a smile.
"Obi-wan I believe he is ready to learn how to fly."
Obi-wan eyes widen. "Oh no count me out." The Knight said. Ranma smiled. " Don't worry, your not teaching him I am and I got just the Idea too."
The Idea was that Anakin lean everything there is about flying. From bi plans to the SR-71 black bird. And that was just on Terra. He learned how to drive speeders, star fighter and everything else Ranma could think of. In the end Anakin was an ace at flight.
Chapter Four: Prologue of an Attack.
Four years Later.
He was having trouble sleeping at night. The Nightmares wouldn't leave him alone. Way, why was he having these dreams? Was they visions of things to come? Or were they in fact just dreams?
Anakin wasn't sure. Lately the nineteen year old padawan learner would wake up screaming his mothers name. Anakin sat up after another dream/vision of his mother in pain. After awhile he headed for the dojo to mediate on the dream. It would help him to calm down and to think.
Should he asked his masters on this? Was he even allowed to see his mother after all these years?
He wasn't sure. One thing for sure those. Something was going to happen and it was going to happen soon.
Inside the House.
Ranma was reading the reports he has just gotten from Both Master Yoda and Master Windu.
"So he leading these separatist?" Ranma asked about a former Jedi. Yoda nodded his green head.
"A danger he could be, use caution you and you learners must." Yoda said.
"Right. Do you think he'll head here?" Yoda shock his head. "No, a pattern has he, not sure though what it is yet." Yoda said. Ranma nodded. Something was up Just as he was about to say something he turned his head to the dojo.
"Matter something is Master Saotome?" Yoda asked. "Something wrong with Anakin. Obi-wan and I both sense it." Yoda nodded. "Code I wished you obey, danger emotions are."
Ranma Smiled. "Master Yoda we been though this, How many of my Students turned?"
Yoda looked at Ranma. "One. You point taken it is."
Ranma nodded. "I think it maybe his mother. He often hides his thoughts. He is still young."
Ranma said. "I still wish to take him to Tatooine. To test his control of course."
Yoda looked thoughtful at this. "In time can you, but need here you and your students are."
Ranma nodded.
"Do you really think it will come to war if this bill is passed?" Ranma had to ask for some reason Jedi was being killed, hince the reason for the call back. Ranma didn't like this, but if he was asking to be called back it couldn't be good. Was the Sith behind this just like the attack on Naboo nine years ago?
And How well Anakin be able to handle Padme? This was dangerous. Anakin was ready to become a jedi but if he fails Ranma's tests things could go wrong. Then there was Obi-wan as well. He knew Obi-wan was ready for his tests. But he would have to hold back on them if it came to war.
"Know I do not. Time tell it will. Come will you?"
Ranma nodded. "Yes I don't have a choice, I will tell Obi-wan and Anakin to get ready to leave."
Ranma thought for a second. "Master, I am being my Sister Ranko with me."
The Master eyes showed concern. "Sure are you? Left she did."
Ranma nodded. "She helped me train Anakin. I think she as welcome back as any."
"Decide the council will, Reissue she maybe." Ranma nodded. "That's all I ask master."
With that the hologram shut down. Ranma heard foot steps from behind him when he turn he saw Ranko wearing her Jedi robs. "Are you sure sister?"
Ranko smiled. "Yes brother, I...I wish to be close to Obi-wan." that was understandable, seeing as how the two of them been together for the last four years.
"I understand. At least your not out of practice." Ranma said to his sister.
Ranko nodded. " you and your stubbornest, brother." Ranko smiled, even after she left the order Ranma saw fit to keep up her training. Like Ranma she was good.
Ranma also took her on missions as well without the council knowledge. The last four years was fun for the four of them. Anakin joked that they where like a family. In truth they where, watching each others back on missions that was too hard for just a jedi and their padawan.
Ranma took a closer look at Ranko. "Why is your hair in the style of a padawan?" Ranma asked.
Ranko looked at her brother. "They maybe have to issue me as one until I can retake the trails again." was his sisters answer. "I see. Then I will make it clear that you will be my padawan along with Anakin."
Later that day Ranma got a message for the council stating that Ranma was to retrain ranko as a padawan learner a long with Obi-wan and Anakin. The council thought it was best to keep the team together, Master Windu made a comment that they knew Ranko was on missions with them and that they knew Ranma better then what he told them. In other words it was a test to see how a Padawan could handle two masters or a Master handling two Padawans. They past.
Soon they was at the port with a Transport to take them back to Coruscant.
The city planet of the Galactic Senate. Home of the Jedi temple. The four Jedi looks at the up coming planet. "I got a bad feeling about this." Ranma Said as the Ship docked in the Hanger bay of the Temple. What they didn't expect when they walked down the ramp was several Jedi running about.
"Hey what's going on?" Anakin asked. A deck hand stopped and bowed to the four Jedi.
"Senator Amidala, space cruiser was just bombed." The crew hand said. Anakin looked at the young man.
"Senator Amidala? As in Padme Amidala?" The young learner asked.
"Yes Sure, the Jedi have been asked to look for the person, But we was told to tell you to wait for master Yoda and Master Windu." The four nodded.
It wasn't long for the four to have to wait. Almost ten minutes of waiting the Jedi Masters asked for the floor to step in.
"Greetings Master Saotome, Master Kenobi. We have a mission for you."
Jedi Master Mace Windu said with a smile.
TBC: In Jedi Samurai: Attack of the clones.
A/N: Now don't go thinking that because I said what I said makes me a Sith. From what I seen both Jedi and Sith powers come from there emotions. Even Luke wanted to find out the power of the dark Side. What he become after words was probably the most powerful Jedi around.
So what if Someone else found away to harness both Dark and Light side of the force? The result is the Jedi Samurai.
Like all things there is a balance, and is it possible that Ranma might be a second Chosen one?
Only time will tell. But one thing remains. I hate to say it but Ranma will fall at the hands of Darth Vader. But that's not until Ep. III After I done All three Eps I will go back and fits the mistakes I made.
Oh and On a Side note. I like the Idea of Anakin having a double bladed Lightsaber. Makes him all that more tougher to bet. I Have Yet to know if I well add the Clone wars. Any ways Look for Ep. II Soon I promise Its going to get Hot for Ranma and his team. ( Hot Being a clue for the Next Sith Lord.) Until Then May The Force be With You.
