Chapter 6
Anakin watched as the stars flew past his cabin windows. In a few hours he'll be at Coruscant and then later on, Master Skywalker will be dealing with Master Windu.
The last couple days were hectic at best. For safety reason, Padme, Karis and the children were sent into hiding. Anakin also sent Master Shaak-Ti into hiding too since it turned she was two months' pregnant. Before Padme left, she gave her japor pendant to Obi-Wan and asked he give it to Anakin for good luck.
It was Alderaan that they finally meet and discussed their option. as well they began gathering up the "Missing" Jedi and the regular Jedi. Meanwhile the Senate, fully disgusted with the Jedi Order, came close to disbanding it. A plead from Chancellor Mon Mothma and Senator Bail was heard. They managed to get enough votes to stop the measure and allow their proposal to go through the Senate.
When all was done.
Anakin Skywalker was now the new leader of the Jedi Order. It was hoped he could save the Order or at least do a better job of running it.
However, that was a minor point right now. Anakin still had to retake the Order from Mace. So a plan was put together and there were objections to one part of it. Anakin quickly pointed that there wasn't enough Jedi for the job. Besides, Master Windu would never expect that route Anakin was taking.
Yet, Anakin's mind went back to that one afternoon. Where he had met one the missing Jedi after talking to Obi-Wan. It was one of Master Yoda kind, a Tene Erg.
"Master Skywalker. I need to ask you something. Is it true that Master Yoda is missing?" she asked, bowing her head down for the answer.
"Yes, he is missing and who are you? Don't see many of your kind around the universe."Anakin said as he knelt down beside her.
"I am call Odea. I was once Master Yoda's padawan but I had to leave the Order. Even back then, I didn't agree with the path the Order was taking. That was 300 years ago. Yet the heart is still fond of the master, though he's not right on everything." she answered. Then tears formed in her eyes and she tried to fight them. "I'm sorry for this." she added.
"It's alright to cry Odea." Anakin told her as he gave her a much needed hug. Then a realization came to him.
"Odea I promise you. I will find Master Yoda, as soon as this crazy episode is over. I also realized something else. Your kind, usually have names that begin with "Y" and you don't?"
Odea finally smiled.
"My father named me. He thought Odea was a pretty name for a pretty baby. Sadly I lost my Father and Mother too. Sadness changes people's hearts and send them down the wrong path. Master Skywalker, now has figured out the truth"
Anakin stood up and laughed. "Yes I did and this universe is getting screwy by the hour, Odea."
Now he was on a ship heading back to Coruscant and now, Qui-Gon appeared before him.
"Well you have become the leader of the Jedi Order and it has already put a positive on the balance of the Force. The Jedi Council, what's left of it, will respect the Senate decision. Now if you excuse me, Master Windu is annoying me. So I'm going to annoy him back." With that, Qui-Gon slipped back into the Force.
Anakar stood outside his son's cabin and soon as he entered, he wasted no time scolding him.
"My son, lose that anger of yours. You are heading for that dark side with that!"
Anakin stood before his father.
"That bit of anger has served me well. As for the dark side, it was there already. Don't worry I prefer the greyness of the Force. There's power there I planned to use After all I'm fighting a blackness in that Temple."
"Carefully there Anakin, take one step in the wrong direction and you'll be on the wrong path. I just got you back and I don't plan on losing you."Anakar warned his son again." You are so young still."
"I'm 23 going on 45 Dad. I can't change but I'm not going to the dark side, just to the middle of the Force. I find it quite peaceful there."Anakin answered.
"I don't use the Force that much anymore. I found it to be a curse. I wasn't planning to trained Anakor as a Jedi. Well I had no choice when you have a three-year-old lifting things. Part of me feels that the Jedi Order has run its course and it's time to let it die Anakin."
"No. There is still good in that Order. Right now, it's dying, yes. But a good kick in the right place, I'll have the Temple thriving again."Anakin said, picking up his Father's hands "Dad, I searched the archives. I see where the mistakes were made and all I'm doing is putting it back on the right path again. I couldn't live with myself if I don't try to save it. I don't think I could live with the shame of just letting it die."
"You have your Mother's stubbornness." Anakar declared.
"Really? The way Helan talks about you. I thought I inherited yours."
Mace stood in the Council's chambers, letting the force flow through him. Already he felt a change and knew Master Skywalker was coming.
"Yes Anakin. Let's get this over with."
"Master Windu."Qui-Gon called out as he appeared before him. "Be a wise Jedi and hand over the control of the Order to Master Skywalker and Master Kenobi."
"Qui-Gon! I thought I sense you lurking about. No, if Anakin wants the Order let him try and take it."Mace said challenging him.
"You are being a fool Mace Windu. Anakin is more powerful than you and does have the Republic support too." Qui-Gon shot back, staring him down.
"Master Skywalker will not succeed."Khanarth boasted while walking into the chamber. " He will fail and pay for the failure with his life."
"Master Kaliey. Good to see you again. "Qui-Gon politely greeted "I'm surprise that you are still here. As for Anakin, he won't be losing his life. So what game are we playing here boys."
"There is no game being played Qui-Gon. I had enough of watching this Order falling apart. I saw Master Skywalker destroying the Order. He killed Master Yoda Qui-Gon. Would you allow that to happen?" Mace asked
"Master Yoda is the last person in the universe that Anakin would harm. The only thing Anakin has threatened Yoda with, is a nice long vacation. Come, come Master Windu, what's the real reason for all this. Master Kaliey, what part do you play in all this? Stop playing games boys. Also, who's behind Master Yoda's disappearance? Interesting, Master Yoda mysteriously vanishes and Master Windu takes over. Yes there's a connection and you will richly deserve the death penalty for it." Qui-Gon said, shaking his head.
"I had nothing to do with Master Yoda's latest screw up. An opportunity came up and I seized it."Mace explained. "So Master Jinn, when is Anakin and his pitiful band of Jedi's coming to retake the Temple?"
"You'll find out. Good day Master Windu."
Master Yoda. I'm glad to see you are alive and well."Captain Bannock said.
"Fine, fine, a little vacation that's all."Yoda laughing while pulling himself back into the Force.
Anakin dropped his lightsaber and let out a gasp too.
"Anakin what's wrong?" Obi-Wan asked
"Master Yoda. I feel him in the Force now."he answered and then heard his voice.
"Skywalker must do what Skywalker was born to do. Restore the Jedi Order, restore the balance of the Force."
And then Yoda pulled himself out the Force again.
