As night went on, the Jedi at the cave were having difficulty to either sleep or to keep guard. Obi-Wan was guarding and he sensed something was amiss.
"Obi-Wan." A voice spoke to him. "Did you do what I asked you? Did you train the boy?"
"Master Qui Gon?! What are you doing here?" He said activating his lightsaber.
"I'm here because you are here." The image of Qui Gon said walking.
"Wait.. no no, I don't understand. What is this place?"
"An unique place. A place which flows all the Force of the Universe."
"Are we in danger?"
"This planet is both an amplifier and a magnet. Here are three beings that seek your Hunter friend." Obi-Wan deactivated his blade.
Qui Gon looked away. "This is not her place. But for some reason, the Force brought her here. Someone from so ancient times will provoke the destruction of the Force as we know it. Anakin may be the Chosen One, but she can become something else. She can use something long forgotten that extremely few know about: the Primal Force. And it can wake forces beyond imagination of any Jedi or Sith."
"Primal Force? What's that?" Obi-Wan asked looking to his former master, but he was no longer there.
"Ani… Ani…" Anakin felt a hand caressing his cheek. Standing, and looking around, he saw his mother.
"What kind of trick is this?!" He said, walking away. "My mother is… is dead…"
"Nothing ever truly dies, my son." Shmi said, walking to him. "As long as you have me in your heart, I will be alive there." She pressed her hands on his cheeks.
"I've never forgave myself for killing so many to a avenge you."
"You acted out of your emotions, my son. Many would do the same."
"But I'm a Jedi. I should not have done that."
"You may be a Jedi, but you are also a person with feelings and emotions. Deep down, your love for me is too big. I don't blame you for that." Shmi said.
"I… I don't know what to say." Anakin spoke. "But, I have a wife, you know her. Padme."
"Yes." Shmi smiled. "You love her. And I am happy for you." She hugged him, with Anakin returning the embrace. "What about your Hunter friend?"
"How'd you…?"
"There are things that must be done. And she must get out from this time."
"We cannot do such a thing." He said, pulling away. "She's been helping us. And we promised to help her."
"She'll cause only destruction."
"How so? She's extremely kind and friendly with everyone."
He received no response from his mother. She only hugged him one more time before he woke up with Obi-Wan near him.
"You ok?" His former master asked.
"Had a… vision, I think. About my mother." Anakin said. "But she seemed to know Lirlia, but I don't remember much of what she said." They then heard Ahsoka mumbling and felt her irritation.
"Is your friend happy?" Ahsoka heard, looking around. "Your Hunter friend… does she look happy?" Looking in front of her, she saw an adult version of herself. Standing, she placed a hand on her lightsaber.
"What concern is it for you?"
"This is not her place, and the truth will make her go a dark path." She heard her older self.
She turned her lightsabers, standing in offensive position. "This is a trick. She's got strength of will, kind… I'd trust her with my life."
Her older self walked to the fireplace. "She's fighting her own destiny. There are contradictions on that." The vision looked up to her. "Be warned. She's fighting a war that will awake death and destruction. Get her out from this galaxy!" The vision said, the fire increased in size.
She woke and found both Anakin and Obi-Wan looking down to her.
"Ahsoka…" Obi-Wan spoke.
"I had a vision." She answered. Looking up, she added. "I guess that Lirlia is in trouble."
Lirlia turned around in her sleep, her dreams were not comfortable. She turned to face the wall, her arms at her side.
"Partner..." she heard a voice as a gentle hand caresses her cheek.
Opening her eyes, she stared at the wall in front of her.
"Partner." He heard the voice again. Turning around, she saw a face that she thought that she'd never see again after hearing what the Father said. Immediately, she stood and hugged her.
"I can't believe it! You are okay!" Lirlia said, hugging her Handler, feeling tears forming on her eyes.
"Yes, I am okay, Partner." Her Handler said. Lirlia pulled away, a wide smile on her face.
"I have so much to tell you! And so much food for you to taste!" She said happily.
"I'd love to taste them. But first, I have to ask you something." The Handler said.
"What is it?" Lirlia said with a smile, not realizing the sudden change of temperature on the room.
"Can you use the Force?" Her Handler said.
Lirlia titled her head to a side, confusion written on her face.
"No. I cannot." She said. She added quickly. "But not in a way the Jedi are familiar with. Sometimes I can use the Force, though I am not aware nor doing a conscious action when I do use the Force." She explained. She then realized something strange. "Wait... how do you know about the Force? And how are you here? Not that I mind, but..." Lirlia said.
"Oh! It must be the Force that brought me here too. And I know about the Force because someone told me about it, and wants to speak with you." Her Handler said. She then looked to her gun, and made a face that sent shivers through Lirlia's back.
"May I see closer your gun?" She then asked, looking at her.
"Umm..." Lirlia stuttered. "B-but you've seen it countless of times before..." Lirlia said. The Handler's face turned to an annoyed one, making Lirlia to panic.
"I've asked you a question." The Handler's hands tightened on Lirlia's shoulders. She then started shaking her, with Lirlia giving a squeal of surprise. "Aren't we friends?!" The Handler said.
'No...' Lirlia thought. 'She'd never do something like this.' Realization came to her. She managed to stop the being using her Handler's image. She used her strength to get away from its grasp and grabbed rapidly her gun, preparing it to fire almost instantly.
"Who are you?!" Lirlia said, her gun pointed to the being.
"Someone that wants the best for you." It said and lunged towards her. Lirlia fired whatever ammo was charged on her gun. She didn't care. She only wanted to get rid of the creature that uses her Handler's image. The creature received a bullet of Dragon Ammo, affecting it. It shrieks and it transformed to a winged creature before a thunder came from the sky and it disappeared.
Panting, with tears on her eyes and knees wobbling by what happened, Lirlia collapsed on her knees, not believing her eyes.
"What... what was that...?" She could do nothing but whisper her thoughts. Her rapid heart and breaths were the only things that could be heard as tears fell to the ground. She remained there for some minutes, trying to calm herself and to understand what happened.
"I won't get any answers here." She said to herself while standing, her gun ready in her hands and loaded. "I'll ask that man." She exited the room.
She approached slowly the Father, her gun aimed at his tall body.
"Can't sleep? Attacking an unarmed man is not something the Jedi taught you."
"You are an evil being." Lirlia said, getting nearer to the Father's body, alert at anything that he might do.
"You have a short view of the world, don't you?"
"You… you are something else. Tell me what's going here!" Lirlia said, pressing the gun on the Father's body. He opened his eyes and slowly grabbed the cannon of her gun, the Force flowing through it. She tried to fire, but no bullet came from her gun. She looked to her gun, shocked to see that all the ammo loaded disappeared, and that she'd need time to reload her gun again.
"As I told you, we are the Force Wielders." He said. Lirlia looked up as he showed his hands with all the bullets he extracted.
"How…" she fell on her butt, with her gun on her side.
"While there is so much lost of your world, there are some things the Force still has about your weapons." He said standing. He gave her back the bullets.
"D… does the Jedi know about you?" She asked, reloading her gun.
"Few know about our existence. Jedi are not included."
"And why did you decide to show yourselves to us?"
"There are many that want our power." He said. "The Sith, for example."
Lirlia pointed to the room she was staying. "In that room… my Handler appeared… but it wasn't her, it was something else."
"Ah… I believe to be my Son. We adopt many forms. Our image we show is on,y a reflection of the Force that surrounds us." He said, giving back Lirlia the ammo he extracted. "He looked into your heart and saw what you wanted to have with you right now. My apologies for his actions."
Lirlia reloaded her gun. "So, what now? Why is he bothering me?"
"I ignore it, child. But do not be deceived by him. You mustn't forget your purpose here."
"How can you be so sure about it?"
"I've received images of four creatures. The appearance of a Dragon will awoke two dragons, a Purple Dragon living over a volcano, that can destroy the world that the creature is in, leaving no living beings there all because it can manipulate elements like no other. The other, a White Dragon that'll descend from a portal created by it. These two can unbalance the Force. The Dragon will fight them, and then, and Unknown Dragon of unknown origin will appear. Their fight is capable of destroying everything. And only you can stop it." He said looking at her.
"Why only me?"
"The former two come from your home. They remained hidden. Protected. Hibernating till this day. The third's origins are unknown. The Fourth it is something that cannot be explained by any means of today, nor the Force has revealed it."
"What about the first Dragon?"
"It is not said what it is or when it'll appear. Or how to defeat it. But it will appear to stop the three other Dragons that can destroy everything. How to fight the Dragon? It is not said, either." He said. He then added. "But with your usage of the Force, there is nothing to worry about."
"But… I can't use the Force like the Jedi… or even like you… at least not wanting…" Lirlia said, her voice getting smaller.
"You can use the Force. You just aren't paying attention." The Father said.
"I did use something called Battle Meditation when I was fighting… but that's it. Other times I'm just using what I know while using my weapons' move sets." She said.
"Someone like you can use the Force in other ways. But those ways affect the Force." He said.
"I don't think that what I do affect the Force that much."
"Why don't we discover it together? Pass a test. That way, you will know how much you affect the Force."
After they woke up, the three Jedi decided search for the woman or the man that appeared in front of them the day before. As they walked, they saw every plant life being revitalized, growing again, with the weather being war, and pleasant.
"The more time passes, this place becomes stranger." Ahsoka said.
"Looks like the planet is renovating itself."
"How do you think is Lirlia?" Anakin asked.
"Lirlia won't get deceived. We have to trust her." Obi-Wan answered.
The didn't know that two creatures were flying towards them, shadowing the place. They realized it too late, only turning around to watch the two creatures extending their claws and grabbing them firmly onto their grasp.
When they got out, they were on a rounded coliseum, with different markings and drawings on the floor and on the walls.
"Now, let's see how you affect the Force." He said. They heard creatures flying to them. Looking up, Lirlia saw two winged creatures with her friends on their grasp. Ahsoka was on the black creature, while Obi-Wan and Anakin were held by the other glowing creature.
"Whatever they asked you, don't do it, Lirlia!" Ahsoka screamed. Obi-Wan and Anakin tried to get free from the other creature's grasp.
"Let them go! I won't play your games!" Lirlia said.
"Of course you will. I'd ordered my children to kill your friends. The thing is, whiche one you'll save? Your female friend? Or the masters?"
"No!"
Ahsoka's screams of pain made Lirlia into a rage, adrenaline running through her blood. "Let them. Go."
"If you can use the Force, then force my children to let them go!" The Father said.
"Lirlia! The planet, is the Force! Use it!" Obi-Wan said.
Lirlia closed her eyes tightly with her hands. Different emotions run on her mind. When she opened her eyes, instinctively she unsheathed her gun, the glowing marks of her armor and gun started to glow brighter, her blue eyes had a mystic glow.
"You shall free them!" Lirlia screamed. Strong wind came out from her as the day turned night, the symbols of the structures started to glow.
She lifted her gun to the air, making both Daughter and Son to being lifted as well, then Lirlia slowly lowered her gun, making the three Jedi to being dropped. She then used her hands to make the two Force Wielders near before sending them towards the wall. They recovered and wanted to attack the Jedi, but Lirlia made a call to the Force, making two roars to be heard.
Everyone looked up to see two creatures attacking the two Force Wielders,one red and one blue, both with manes on their necks. The red one, a Teostra, attacked the Daughter, while the Lunastra attacked the Son.
When the Sons tried to attack Ahsoka, who's activad her blade. Lunastra attacked him with her tail, injuring him and making him to lose balance. The Daughter was pursuing Anakin and Obi-Wan, but Teostra used his body to send her to the middle of the coliseum.
"On! Your! Knees!" Lirlia screamed, firing her gun to them both, the Dragon Ammo being fired faster than every affecting both of the Wielder's bodies, making them to start struggling and to slowly change their bodies to their human form, forcing them to their knees. After that, Lirlia calmed a bit and both Teostra and Lunastra disappeared, as if they were never there in the first place. Lirlia was left pant, her gun pointed to both the Son and Daughter kneeling in front of them as the night return to day, the symbols also stopped glowing.
"You can see the truth? How can you affect the Force? Not only you used the Force with so much efficiency, but also you called upon two creatures from the past and did your will, forcing my children to stop." Father said as the Jedi approached them.
"I've passed your test. Now, let us go." Lirlia said.
"Ah, but before, you must know reality. Leave us alone."
Ahsoka approached her and whispered. "Don't trust him."
"What you think I'd do?"
"I'd say, leave us." Everyone left them, the Father walking around her.
"Did you feel it? The power of both Primal Force and the Force in you? You must know that with a power like that, you need to be careful. You must learn how to use the Force properly. Hence, you have to remain here to learn how to properly control them both."
"Staying here? I cannot do that." Lirlia said, not looking to the Father.
"But you must remain here! Everything here is yours! You can control my children and call upon the creatures of your world. That power left unchecked is extremely dangerous for all the galaxy."
"I…"
"I… I cannot force you to stay. The decision must be yours. But be warned that, if you don't control your emotions and that power you have, uncontrolled, it can destroy everything around you."
They were now at the ship's entrance, getting ready to leave. Lirlia was still over the edge of the entrance, deep in thought.
"Are you ready to go?" Obi-Wan. Looking back one more time, Lirlia entered to ship. Anakin turned in on and they flew away towards the entrance of the planet.
But, deep down, Lirlia knew that they were not going to leave that easily.
