The Master Guardians

Disclaimers: the characters don't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to the author and the creator of the movies.

Warnings: This is going to cover the rewrite to the story connecting the Jedi Apprentice stories together as though he was Adi's apprentice and Ferus was with Obi-wan and Qui-Gon as with it, Qui-Gon survived the fight with Darth Maul, as this is what if from the very beginning they gave him a second chance as he becomes everything he was supposed to be under Adi and Siri now.

Prologue: New Decisions And Truths II

'Did this ever happen before in Obi-wan's case when he was no older then me?' he asked and they nodded. "Yes happened after a mission not long after Qui-Gon chose him, and his rival was killed after joining an enemy of our's before he took him back and he chose probation." Mace said and knew he nodded. 'Well there it is, he's me as youngling still and I stay on the right path, me as an adult.' he said and they nodded to that.

'Screwed up the first good impression, but you were voicing my fears out loud, but the reason is we were attacked by a slave trader. And 18 months prior, the week, before the trio arrived I had a run in with a tuskin raider with a broken leg, but these characters. They are vicious mindless brutes, but there it is.' he said and they nodded in shock to that news as that told them everything they needed to know then.

'Where I come from I live on a dangerous planet, but as slaves, a new day means a new day to die now, to others we're not people here. But property, but mom was serious when she told me this, but it could be far worse for us as things are normal for us here, as to how I know. My best friend's mother, the girl was close to being my girlfriend if we were older, but her mother was taken by the slave trader Krayne.'

'A few weeks ago, I was doing trade run with the Jawas, they're traders in mechanics and goods on my way home, I saw a rockislide now. Went to check and saw a down Tuskin Raider with a broken leg, so either one of these possibilities was something I was concerned about. In truth here, the farmers once trying to go against them ended up in bloodbath once or twice, but the only weapons here we carry now."

'Are blasters, but the only lightsabers on hand are in the next town over on my planet, Anchorhead which is Farmer territory now here. If you know the Stargliders, they're the only Jedi turned farmers, but they never crossed a line and won't till someone does something stupid. Say going out before daybreak and outside of the perimeter.' he said and they nodded in relief he said the as Adi and Mace exchanged looks.

"That's what you were really feeling, next to your worries on Shmi?" Ki Adi Mundi asked him and they knew he nodded to him. 'Yes Master Mundi it is, that's the fear in me, I have no clue why they are interested in me, but if we don't fix our meeting and now. And whatever this future foretold, it's going to start all over again, bad first impression, I can change that now, so good second impression now here.'

'But first, Obi-wan is getting ready to put him into suspended animation, it's close, but we need you here, now.' they heard and they nodded sternly at that news. "One change and he latches onto us, though we screwed up the first meeting right now, we save Qui and it's done now." Tiana said to this and Mace and Adi nodded in agreement as they and Yoda exchanged looks who nodded in agreement as he said it to them.

"He needs us right now, yeah there it is, the Sith pushed him to the edge and instead of clouded he made his choice, being a Jedi, he's a lone wolf, a Jedi cub, of our stature." Mace said to that and they nodded. "That's it, he's one of us, alright, he's a Jedi youngling and he needs his adult lone wolves, that's you and me Mace, but there it is right now, he needs us and Siri, now." Adi said sternly and he nodded in agreement to that remark.

"There it is, something reminded him of whatever happened before we found him at the time, but first whoever it was and now Qui-Gon." Soara said to her and she nodded. "Baby's only 9, near 10, but unlike us, he never grew up suppressing his emotions, he could do this without going over the edge, Obi-wan. Oh no, not again, it's Melida/Daan, Bruck!" Tiana said to them and they nodded in shock at that news and they nodded in agreement.

"The scum pushed Obi-wan over the edge and he's throwing everything he has at him right now, but looks like Anakin threw everything he had. And into joining his combat skills with Obi-wan's and he's exhausted emotionally right now." Mace said to Yoda and he nodded in agreement. "Not blame him I do, but too much this is, never had to suppress his emotions before and like Obi-wan he is, as a youngling." he said and Mace nodded to that.

"We got to go to them!" Master Damon Calrissian snapped and they all nodded in agreement to that. "No, Qui-Gon, hang on, hang on, we're coming." Master Adi Gallia snapped and they nodded. "He finally got it, we have to get over there before whoever did that kills him for real." her padawan snapped and she nodded. "Half the council goes the other stays here, till we send for you now." Mace called out and they nodded to the orders.

"Adi, Kit, Ki, Plo, Mace, Yaddle, we go, and with us Qui-Gon's new training quartet, come must leave now to make sure, make it in time we do." Yoda snapped, naming their injured comrade's closest friends and they nodded as they geared up and joined the convoy carrying the new supreme chancellor then firmly. 'Anakin don't worry, we're coming, it's going to be okay, we'll be there soon.' Adi said gently at that as they felt a soft response then.

As they flew to Naboo, they arrived as they saw Anakin Skywalker with Obi-wan Kenobi in greeting them, before seeing a slight smug look on the Supreme Chancellor's face as he greeted them. "We are indebted to you Padawan Kenobi, and you young Skywalker, we will watch your career with great interest." he said and Mace froze up at that. "No, no stay away from him." Tiana said sternly and Damon and Adi nodded sternly at that.

"That's not threat, but a promise it sounds like..." Mace started to say and they all straightened at that. "Oh god, we got to head it off, we blew the first impression, we have to change it and fast." Siri said to her and she nodded in agreement to that as they all moved forward at the same time. "No stay away from him, you will." Master Yoda said sternly to that as the duo walked to them, Anakin's gentle eyes calm and caring.

As he pushed a gentle jolt of care and love into the connection and threw it to them and they smiled and gently did it response. "This idiot never considered me contacting you like this, after you felt my powers break down the blast door right now. But he was too late when I contacted you mentally, your lesson on the 'trio'. I understand perfectly, but borrowing Obi-wan's lightsaber, it went purple now.'

'We did it, he's too late, Master.' they saw in his eyes and Mace smiled and he nodded with a smile at the looks of care and warmth in their eyes. 'It went purple, already, you know your color this soon, baby?' Siri thought back to him and he nodded. 'Yeah it did Sis, I'm a guardian, but I'm one of you alright, the connection between us. It slammed shut, you're my mentor, her parental.' he thought softly to her then.

'Nice he's too late and we got to you first, before he could interfere.' Adi said smiling in relief. 'Didn't see it coming in the second I call out to you mentally, tell you everything and he was finished, but one decision here now in truth takes it. Said it his mental stack of sabbacc cards down and he has to choose himself a new apprentice. But I belong to you now, Mother, Master Windu, Master Yoda.'

'Second chance, the call out just finished it off, Master, I don't trust him, I know you and I trust you. But cub padawan, you're my family, second chance, Father is alive, he lost before he ever felt my powers, if he's a dangerous version to us. But I'm one of you, and I know everything you think here, but we got a second chance. And by intervention now, my Master.' he said with his eyes to him then and they nodded gently.

'This is what happened that day the Raider came through my spaceport two years ago.' he thought to Yoda and opened his mind to him. 'Indeed, second chance, I understand, understand I do your fears, but let those fear carry further, much damage they could do, but have at your disposal. Now the power you need already, Qui-Gon carries that power, trained in with Shaliman of the whills now Padawan, he knows the power you need now for it.'

'But strict, because afraid to lose you ourselves we do now, but what do you intend to do, but peers don't seem to understand this, in truth here now. But when reach 13th birthday, that return to their families they can, everything we have, give it up we do once taken on as a padawan now, in truth here now. But code change there will be, as see your families and keep in touch as you grow, you can now, see I do that this possible future is connected to old ways.'

'New ways now, means much changes that by the time fully adult apprentice you are, learned to be like everyone else we have as no need to suppress it. Is that though put to other careers, keep lightsabers you can as learn to be normal again, but grow up on the outside, is a blessing in disguise now here. See I do, that though supposedly too old here, in truth, just right for the new code as learn and adapt to new code as grow they do, and learn to be normal now.'

'See that I do now, but what offer we can is a way to help others, but feed millions, train to be better pilots, medical care, even be able to find problem. In mechanics, some of us are also diplomats?' Yoda asked and he smiled as he thought it back to him. 'That's just my point, being normal is a strength, not a weakness, growing up normal gives you so much, we feel the pain, anger and let it go, as we talk it out, before it explodes now, Master.'

'I see it in Damon's eyes he's got a family of his own, as does Master Ki, and they both are strong here now, family and love friendship now. Is the key of being freed from the darkside, but family, and the love and trust of family and friends, is essential to a returned Jedi gone Sith. And back again, that new code can save a just returned Jedi, and prevent a relapse here, but everything you trained me to be now.'

'Why give this up, just one completely honest heart to heart, just prevented a repeat in this alleged time-line, I never been more honored. Now to be your student, but trained me, raised me, I can't imagine not having you there in my life, you have done so much for me now here. Already, the least I can do, is say your words and help out when you need me to.' he thought back to him and he smiled gently at that remark.

'If I was the first, and I mean that literally, if I was the first Jedi gone Sith and back again, there was a key to this now in this case here. One that as the old order Jedi never considered, there is a way to be free of the darkside, that key is the love and trust of friends and family. But in order to be free now, the Jedi in question connected to the target have to let go of their own beliefs and pride, you hold onto this thought.'

'And the victim will never be free.' he said and Mace straightened at that news. 'Oh gods, we never considered that thought if someone hold onto their pride seeing your appearance goes back to normal, your eyes are their natural shade. Again finally, and you never got around to changing lightsaber colors back, as you're still recovering from the physical damage this has done to your body, if you were the said now.' he said in response and he nodded gently.

'Yeah I know in order for the first attempt to work, as this is the first experiment to get it correct now, if I was your first attempt here now. And in changing them back you have to let go of your pride, if you're the one that raised said Jedi gone Sith from youngling to fully grown. In adult, Jedi gone Sith and back again, if I am, and I think I was, you got to release that pride, I can come back, just give me time.'

'The me you know and raised is still there, but I need you to be free of it for good, you don't release that pride, I'm stuck on the brink now. And for good, you want whoever of your students or me, back again don't you.' he said and they nodded. 'Well just set aside the old beliefs and release your pride, or I, or whoever it was will never change back now.' he said and the council nodded in relief he was saying this remark gently.

'The key was the one thing you considered against the old code, love, in truth now Masters, it was the love and trust, companionship. And support of friends and family, that freed me from the clutches of the darkside, but the last link to be free forever now is whoever it is. That caused it, the one to blame, just say who it was and the shackles of the darkside are cut off and you're free finally, like any trauma here.'

'It's the physical injuries and damage this does can be dealt with, but the emotional, that takes longer, case point is these traumas now. Is like every other trauma, you deal with in the case of one of the temple borns after killing in self defense, well this is 10 x's worse in that. Takes time and therapy, and even then you as the Masters got to be worried about the flashbacks and nightmares that come with it now here.'

'If I was the first, and I created a new practice in the code, that after healed enough physically, the final step is to face it, a Jedi is calm. But a a just returned now, if there is one way to return to it again, or suffer a relapse, it's by resorting to immediate violence in a mental face off. But do not give your alter ego the satisfaction he got to you in this, just resist it and you're healed.' he said and the council hid a nod to the news.

'Lovely that's all we need, you're starting to recover, but facing off against your mental alter ego, could result in a relapse, if you immediately yank either one. In weapons here to defend yourself, but violence and anger is a one way ticket back into those shackles again.' Mace said to that and he nodded. 'I know, but I can only heal if I resist and I can recover enough I'm back to being me again, but this is a result of the sins: pride, anger and lust now.'

'A Sith has three sins that cause them to turn, but lust for power, anger to the point of seeing red and their pride, envy and so on as to that. It's we as Jedi specialize in the alter ego to those, the virtues, we know what the dangers these do for normals, for us it's beyond dangerous. If we give in, as it turns us into monsters, and our alter egos are the said monsters, but growing up normal is safer, in not needing to hold it in.'

'Till it comes pouring out of you, growing up normal is safer then being a temple raised, way safer, as you saw with Obi-wan right now. And again when as a youngling, that's the result of controlling your emotions, the code was always a shiny clear pool of water, if this happens. And the ending results are being around normals muddies the water clouding it with doubt, but a normal raised has no such weakness now.'

'I train in everything you have to offer in careers, and stay clear of him for good, it's like he was praying he could use me for something. If it's connected to that prophecy, the decode won't take long, but this alleged time-line, it's waking up something in me, right now. And I know what he is, so no, once was enough, I'm never going to the darkside, you are my mentor, I belong to you." he said in response to him then.

'He seems to think that because you were so critical, in our last encounter, that I'm never going to trust you, but the game changer now. Is my getting on the mental com-line with you, and now we're like this together, so it's over you win and he has to find a new one, if he is one. But I belong to you as your prize pupil now, but you're my family, love you Master.' he thought to him and he hid a smile at the remark and nodded.

As he looked into their eyes as they saw a look of love in his eyes towards them gently as he said it softly as he slammed his mental shields closed then. 'That remark gave me no reason to trust him, but if he's the Sith, and he's actually planning on using me by that remark, but no, it's too late. You don't have to worry Master Yoda, you got to me first, and I've made my choice, you're my choice.' he said softly and Yoda nodded to him gently.

'You chose us this soon, so we have no need to worry about leaving you alone with him, you choose us, now and always?' Mace asked and he gave a soft mental nod to him. 'Yes Master, that is just what I'm saying after he, if he's connected to the Zabrak that just tried to kill father this week. Well I'm not working for a man, said that only wants to use me for my powers to wipe out us, but from the second we first did this, he lost.'

'He's too late anyway, I'm your padawan now, Master, but we made this choice right after I shouted out to you now, I choose you now. But you're my mentor, time's up, if there was a choice given to a newly activated witch here, between evil and good, I just passed that test. I choose you and I'm a padawan, I'm a Jedi to the end now, my master.' he saw in his eyes and he nodded in relief to that news gently.

'But honestly, I'm afraid of where these powers are going to take me, of the evil in my own heart, that's my fear, but if this was the key. And to make it to chosen selections as I make make padawan, I either make it or I don't, but I'm taking every career you have to offer. In between now and chosen selections now.' he said and they nodded gently as he locked gazes with Mace and Yoda as he said it gently, but deliberately then.

'That's my fear, I'm afraid of the evil in my heart, and where it could lead when combined with these powers, until now, as I met you. You Master Windu, you and Master Adi, but if you and her apprentice are like me, I can adjust to this as you teach me to balance my color. And as you make it even, but there is no trial by lava, I am a Jedi, like my family before me.' he thought to them and they hid a smile at that.

'Second chance given it we have, but pulled it off we did, just let him have it, belong to me as my youngest council member you are, Anakin, tell him the truth. Believe I do that the balance means create a new code you do, and part of the Council in your prime you are Anakin, you are a Jedi, but time to tell him. In what think we do, you know what think we do, for us, say it now.' Yoda said and Anakin hid a nod as he looked at the other man with a wary look at that.

'Obi-wan, it's too late, I choose you and the council, my brother, I choose you.' he said to him gently and the older boy nodded. 'I understand brother, father is alive, we can fix what went wrong in our meeting and deepen our bond, but he's out of his mind. So say it for all of us, you're off limits, as we're doing your mother's decisions for her, before we really get started, my brother.' Obi-wan said to him softly and he hid a nod.

'Get away from me, I don't even know you.' they heard in response to that remark in a slightly scared tone to that and nodded, as he locked gazes with the council. 'Too late, he's too late, I made my choice, but the mind to mind communication's link went haywire here.' he said to the council with his eyes and they nodded. "Don't touch me, just stay away from me, your excellency." he said with a warning tone at that response then.

As Obi-wan left his hand on Anakin's shoulder he leaned against his chest gently at that in response at that response. 'Love you big brother.' he thought to him and he smiled at the title. 'Love you too, baby, just say it for both of us, me and the council, you made your choice here, 16 year age difference, doesn't matter, you're me as a youngling, but you impressed me, and we can fix this as the week goes by and we go home.' he thought to him gently then.

And he nodded as he looked at the older man as he said it sternly as the council crossed their arms then. 'Yeah that did it, he chose me and the council, alright little brother, let him have it, we just had the scare of a life time, we don't need this added to it right now, baby brother.' Obi-wan thought and knew the council and his own team quartet were thinking this as well as he exchanged looks with them at that response then.

"My lord, I'm afraid not, outsiders are not allowed to know personal business in training, I have 1 maybe 2 counterparts in other holo media here now in it. As one is likely a wizard, and the other like me, who has the same powers I do, but one of them, one of them got sick to death of the pressures here now. That came with the title and took a near permanent sabbatical from his own academy, but the other, decided to make the title and the prophecy his own."

"Wears the prophecy like a mask, well he wears the mask, it does not wear him, I'm saying the same thing here, I wear the prophecy it does not wear me. I will do this my own way now, without my title hanging over my head. And like cloud of doom here, as such right now, this is a case of special treatment now. Well no thank you, I don't want to be singled out, I don't want the responsibility that comes with that title, and I do not want it thrown at me now here."

"And every time I turn around I want to enjoy my cubhood while I got the chance still here, now I maybe the most powerful of the Jedi padawans here now. I know this, my powers will one day dwarf both sides, but until then I want to be a child, time enough for wisdom as I wear more holes into my boots now. But why grow up at all as all that does is throw more pain and anguish at you, but I want to be a padawan as long as possible, stay with my parents now."

"Why rush my training at all right now, the time is short, I want to enjoy every minute of my time in pre-one on one training, before I join with my mentor. As that is only 12 to 13 years, that time is also short, and I want to enjoy that time while I can, I want to stay with my mentor as long as possible." he said and Mace saw a smile on Obi-wan's face and knew it mirrored his own, as he realized he got the other message he and Thracia would have taught him then.

"But when you push harder, it goes faster, but why rush growing up at all, when all it brings is more pain and hardship, just enjoy this time while it lasts. As soon, as padawans, we're not going to have our mentor around forever and be on our own till we train our own, I understand what Master says all too easily. As I just got a taste of that by this Nightbrother almost killing my family, so no, I'm not letting go, till I'm ready to let go." he said and they watched him pale.

"Yeah, you heard me right family, Obi-wan and Father are my family, I am not letting go, till I'm ready to let go." he said sternly and Obi-wan crossed his arms at that remark. "I get the point, brother, but ease back, I don't trust him either." Siri said in response as she and Obi-wan exchanged looks at that. 'Yes I think he's been listening to both of us way too much, Siri.' Mace and Adi saw in his eyes and they both nodded in agreement to that thought gently.

'That's the understatement of the century, just getting started and already he sounds like Siri did when she and I started out.' Adi said to herself as she hid a chuckle at his remark. "Issues with the attachment, you're the only parent we have when training us, that it's hard to let go." Soara said to Damon and he nodded. "Especially, when said happens to be a man to teenage girl and I love you like a daughter, so father/daughter bond." he said in response to that.

"Or mother/son bond, and we got several of those in the Jedi, Tiana and me, and Clee and Garen." Ry said to that and he and Mace nodded. "And possibly Anakin and me next, this is going to be a long 13 years." Adi said and Mace hid a chuckle at that remark. "We just got to get his more useful skills under control, before that scares someone into a coronary. Or starts cluttering the temple halls with his droid projects." Mace said, hiding a smile and she nodded.

"My brothers and sisters, my mentor and parental, I want to stay a padawan and preteen to teenager as long as possible here, time will tell, but until then. I want to live in the moment, without worrying where that power, that future of carrying this title, these powers will take me, be a child enjoy it. My wizard double thanks to a single prophecy had his life destroyed by said, he lost his chance to have a childhood, well not me, I want to be a padawan now."

"And for as long as possible here right now, I can't go on alone, I don't know how to, without my mentor to bear that weight with me, without them now. The weight of said is going to crush me, I need my own mentor to help bear that weight now, I want to be a preteen to teenager as long as possible. What's the rush of growing up, I can spend 10 years without bearing that weight and when I'm old enough then I can bare and lift it on my own now."

"But until then, time enough for the wisdom of where those powers and this prophecy will lead when I've worn more holes into my boots." he said and Mace smiled at that. "Yes there we go, enjoy your childhood while you got the chance to." he said and Yoda smiled gently at that as he went on. "Got the point you and Thracia always talk about he has now, Mace, he's only a youngling, enjoy his cubhood while he has the time to right now here, understand I do."

"Don't want that weight this soon, know we do you're very gifted, know this we do, but what don't you need is baring this weight, not till you're ready now. And for the burden that comes with these powers and title, my padawan." Yoda said softly at that and Mace nodded in agreement. "One change made a difference, but you're already too late my lord, but I've connected to the Jedi council now, their guidance and friendship that matters more then you think."

"I love my friends and brothers and sisters, my mentor and fellow mentors, and I want to stay a cub for as long as possible, but you know in this now. As where I come from, I'm going on 10, but I grew up with friends, and in love, peace and happiness, without having anything hanging over my head. My parental mentors all would say this anyway, I have much to learn and much to experience, but don't rush that knowledge or growing up now."

"For that knowledge and wisdom takes it own time, and you know what, they're right, I'm only a youngling, I want to enjoy my training, my childhood. And while I got the chance to here right now, even my brother, I admire him so much, as powerful as the the trio, and as wise as Master Yoda. I truly am thankful to be his apprentice, I'm just not ready to let go, not yet, I'm only a child, I have 17 years training with them I want to enjoy it all now here in truth."

"I only have 13 to 16 years with my mentor and parental and it goes fast, I want to enjoy that time, while I got the chance to here at the moment here. But I'd rather not have that, my title on my head, as where I come from, they know I'm special, but they treat me normal, I asked the same of the council now. And they accept that now, so with that, my progress is told to the family, what happens in my training is between me, my mentor, the council and my parents."

"And only us, it's family business, and as you're not family, I suggest you stay out of this, but from now on, stay away from me, I'm off limits." he said and he looked at him in shock at that. "Just saying what mom would say, she gave orders to Master Jinn, and he forwarded them to the council, and they, Obi-wan, and my training quartet. They all agree with this, they know I'm special, but what I don't need is my powers, title and sensitivity to the force now."

"Thrown at me every-time I turn around, what is discussed in my training is personal business and none of your's." he said and Mace smiled at that. "Look at Obi-wan." Tiana said and they smiled at the look on his face. "Yeah that did it, he wants to be the big brother he needs now." Mace said and Adi smiled. "The love in his eyes when he looks at us, that says it all in one week things change and here's the result, he'd rather stay our student, our cub here now."

"Then just letting go, but he got the point now." Damon said and Mace and Adi nodded in agreement to that as Tiana crossed her arms smiling. "There's the lecture I would have given him, if one of his stunts resulted in a near close call." Mace said and Yoda nodded with a gentle smile. "You and Thracia." Adi said and he nodded. "And he knows what we would say to this, enjoy being a youngling and padawan while it lasts." Mace said and Yoda and Adi nodded.

"Well temple training goes fast, so enjoy it while you got the time to here, and enjoy being a padawan as well while you got the time to right now here. And as-as soon as you make knight, you're on your own, till you train your own student, and growing up in a pair up, either padawan to knight/mentor. Or knight to padawan, at times it's beyond lonely without someone to talk to, and Qui-Gon realized that, and he and Obi-wan are now father and son as a team."

"He knows that, but then why not, he's spent all of his life with a companion, that to him, instead of letting go, he's staying with whoever of us trains him. And still calls us by that title, doesn't want to let go, well he doesn't have to, our teams now are growing in size every time we take on a new member here. And as the years go by, for all I know the next pair up is the big one we need to fix, before it does damage." Adi said to him and he nodded in agreement to that.

"I know I'm good, but being singled out, leads to devastation, but how dangerous, I do not want to consider, I want to be normal, grow up, have a family. Find love, and have a life, but separate lives destroys a Jedi and once combine both lives together, the said Jedi will flourish, will I am number whatever now. And in them, but once considered that a Jedi can never know love, but you know what, love is a strength rather then a weakness now in this case."

"Just how stupid do you think I am, you really think I don't know what that's supposed to mean, when we all know this, for all I know here now. Is this, but you could be my adult ex double's mentor as a Dark Jedi or worse, you're the mentor to the one that just tried to kill my father this week and twice. So let me clarify this for you now, but I would never turn on my brother or sister, parental mentors, or my mentor, who raised me from my current age to adulthood."

"Your excellency, there is a matter of being strangers here, and though I connected to them, I don't even know you, so you're a stranger to me here. And with that, they're familiar, and you're a stranger so what whatever my mom would say on this, I'm saying it for her, but I'm off limits here starting now. So stay away from me, I don't need my powers and title thrown at me every time I turn around here." he said sternly and the council nodded in agreement.

"I do not need my powers, sensitivity and my title thrown at me every time I turn around, we all know this, but they know I'm special, my mother does. And even worse I do, but that singling out leads to ignorance, which leads to arrogance, arrogance is pride and if not checked at the door leads to, now. Said self destruction, but my training is up to them and my mother, my team trio, it's family business, you're not family, so stay out of it, your excellency."

"Consider me a pawn of the council, well I consider that a compliment rather then an insult, I'm too close to Masters Yoda and Windu to even think of it. Said it turning to the darkside and helping your friend, if said friend is the Sith who's apprentice just tried to kill my father, so forget it in trying to call me up. Won't do it, I'm a padawan, have orders, my orders are to stay clear of you, said by both my mother and the council, my father, and my adoptive uncles now."

"But parents, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, all Jedi, I have a family in the Jedi, this is where I belong, time to go home now with them here. But thing of it is, they all know I'm good, they know, but what they also know is I hate being singled out, and know I'm too close to them, now to even think it. Said it, think of turning to the darkside, you never gave me a reason to not trust them, but they did in your case, as most politicians are corrupt here now."

"So corrupt in fact, the Jedi council is half expecting one of you to actually do a hostile take over to destroy the republic, and thing of it now is this now. I know that too, and frankly, our allegiance is to the republic, to democracy, but liberty is never going to die, not so long as we're around and we give hope. And to those who have none, as we're peace keepers, not soldiers, and I'm too close to the council to even think of turning." he said and the council smiled at that.

"To say that again, I am too close to the council itself to turn on them, my big brothers and sisters, my parental mentor quartet, no I'm never leaving them. I have a life and family, I know I'm special, I know that, but I hate being singled out, I want to be normal, but thing of it is, I can't be, I'm different. And at times different can be deadly, and I'm not waiting to find out just how deadly, so I'm a Jedi, I know my place, and that place is with them, so stay clear."

"But you don't seem to understand that this is the capitol, but thing of it is now, is I come from outside of the republic, but my female counterpart now. As whoever it was is also outside of the republic, but we're good, but we don't need that thrown at us every-time we turn around, but the Outer Rim. Said is run by the Hutts, specifically is Jabba the Hutt, he's the ruler of my planet, so try it, and he can over ride it." he said and they watched him pale at that news.

"Issues in this, that you, as the republic, never do business with a loan shark, he maybe a gangster, but even he knows when to trust someone now. I am one of his former subjects, won my freedom and I am free once I get that transmitter out of my arm right now, but once done, I plan to go see them. And tell him this, and even try to attack my planet to kidnap one of the hutt's children, you're asking for trouble as he contacts me." he said and he swallowed hard.

"But I made this clear to my racing rival, after the queen crashed on my planet, if the outsiders are not careful you're going to get diced here, I meant it. The republic doesn't get recognized out in the Outer Rim, we must survive on our own, so to us, you're an outsider, and your planet, is barely a day's flight. To us, as such now, my lord, is this, but the Hutts are gangsters, they do not take kindly to threats to themselves or their families, Jabba especially here."

"Being the only Jedi in the order who was one of his subjects, before I left I told him if he ever needed help now, to contact me, through the council now. But I learn your Sith compatriot is deliberately trying to start a war between us and him, I will take action on that now, and trust me, you're only making it worse. For yourself, and only giving me more ammunition to use against you, if the dark times results in a war later." he said sternly and they watched him pale then.

"Whoa, his words are carrying a double meaning and..., I get what he's trying to say, everything he's telling him is he's really explaining everything now. We need to know here, in order to manage his training as he gets older here." Mace said and Damon and Adi both nodded. "Nice thinking son, that's a really good idea, as someone tries to start something with a hutt and you're going to get diced." Tiana said to that and Mace and Adi nodded in agreement to that.

"Never saw that coming, Jabba is the owner of his planet." Adi said to Mace and he nodded. "Well that helps, if he ever needs a bit of Jedi help, we can offer, but just Jabba, I don't trust the others, after the last few times we went below the sun barrier at home." he said to her and she nodded. "Your excellency, I'm about to be trained in all 7 forms, but my training is to control both sides and put them together, I don't need to be side tracked right now here."

"But, and honestly, there is a matter of what if I'm not who you think I am, but the force threw my adult self of possibly close to 32 years into the future. Back into this body, that I am a just returned Sith returned Jedi, that rather then vengeance against you, for taking everything I had away from me here now. That I am ready to exact justice, by making sure you get what's coming to you?" he said and they watched him swallow hard at that remark as he went further.

"And mom would only say this is family business and as you're not family then stay out of this, I'm being trained by Father's team partner here now in it. And her purple counterpart, and with them my possible new mentor, so normal and whatever they call this to control both sides of me, is a key skill I need. In truth here now, if the second in command is said, I belong to him as his own cub version to his color as his apprentice." he said and the trio hid a chuckle to that.

"There's my cub, nice work son." Mace said and Adi chuckled at that remark. "Well that says it all, he's too close to us to even think of turning here now, and even if he asked to see him. We just countermand the order, by telling him we'll go in his place right now." Ki said to him and he nodded to that. "Yeah, model padawan, he knows, as a padawan, has to follow orders, we say stay and he stays." Adi said to that and Mace, Damon and Tiana nodded gently to that.

"And especially if we're his team after the last time we had to do this, Tahl told Obi-wan to stay and that gave a fast countermand, before it started here. Then again it doesn't surprise me he's even dragging it up right now, he's so much like me it's ridiculous right now." Siri said to her and she nodded smiling. "Yes and 9 to 12 years give or take, and he's turned into a boy version of you as a result, you're beyond devoted to me." she said and Siri nodded to her smiling.

"No kidding and that's an understatement, I don't want you near him, we know he's special, that's very apparent to us, but what he doesn't need here. Is his powers, sensitivity and his title thrown at him every time he turns around, and it's family business, but what is discussed between us and Shmi. And over him is family business and as you're not family, stay out of this, and stay away from him, you're off limits." Damon said sternly and the trio nodded sternly.

"Whoa, Anakin, are you...?" Soara started to say and Damon smiled. "Fast warning and reprimand, he made his choice and we're it, padawan." he said and the trio nodded in shock to that. "That remark he just gave him, could be seen as a threat in our eyes, and he doesn't need this, he doesn't need his powers, sensitivity. Let alone that prophecy and his title thrown at him every time he turns around his training is up to us, his parents and his team trio, you."

"So it's family business and as the chancellor is not family, stay clear of him starting now, you're off limits, my lord." Mace said to finish that and the council nodded to that remark sternly. "What goes on between me and the council, my team trio, is between me, my parents, my team trio and the council here. It's family business and as you're not family, I suggest you stay out of this right now, it's none of your business, my lord, but this now, this now."

"Could be seen as training interference and a threat in the eyes of the Jedi, sure I grew up normal, but I'm a padawan that grew up in the field now. My life of solitude turned into a life of engagement, sure I grew up normal, but I'm like my adult counterpart, who after retiring also became an asset to his planet. And their ways, so sure life surprises you, but I can accept my way of life as a Jedi, but until my 13th birthday, I got 4 years till then here now."

"My great grandfather Jedi, if he's still alive, was dealing in a life of solitude that turned to a life of engagement, I follow his way of life and with him. My father Jedi, Master Jinn, but whatever side of the force I am, I'm making my choice now, there is no need to think twice, my father is alive, so there it is. I chose the Jedi, the light-side, but red or blue, bring them together, and they make purple, I am like Master Windu and his own fellow council member."

"But I can do everything they offer in careers and still be a padawan, but my mother mentor is Master Gallia, and my father is Master Jinn here now. Just who are you trying to kid, my lord, you realize how this sounds, to me, to Obi-wan, and to our team quartet and the council, you're a civilian. Though you're supreme chancellor, but that could be seen as training interference, and secondly, this is now an intervention, I've got a paternal figure already."

"I don't even know you, and that tone could be seen as a threat in the eyes of my guardians right now, said are them." he said, pointing at the council at that. "Noor, he knows, but we never told him that." Mace said and they nodded in agreement. "Looks like we never needed to, he took a guess over what caused on the puncture marks on Qui-Gon's neck and shoulders and guessed right at the moment, but I told Qui-Gon Noor's background here now."

"Oh boy, the mind to mind link between us just activated right now, he can read us so easily, he never had to hear the words now, he knows everything Mace." she said and he nodded to her. "You don't seem to understand, but matching the team quartet to my friends and adopted family on my planet, Master Gallia is my mother, my new friend in the girls is my friend Amee, her master/sister is Amee's big sister, Master Windu is like Kit's father now."

"Amee's father is Master Jinn, Master Tiana is Halla, I've got Jedi versions to my friends on my planet, so either way, I've got a way to manage now. But my point is, I'm only training to be a Jedi so I can enhance my skills, piloting and mechanics, and learn to protect who I care about here, but though I learn. I must be wary and ignorant of how I gain some of that knowledge as at times it could get dangerous, but my life of solitude turned into a life of engagement."

"Then again, life surprises you, so accept the gift, whoever my adult counterpart is, if I have a run in with whoever it is right now, I'm just saying this. But I hate my powers, my sensitivity and my title, and what good are my powers if I can't use it to save who I love, but I'm taking every added career. In the Jedi, so prize padawan, but I don't want attention, I want to be normal, and I was, till now, life of solitude, life of engagement." he said and he swallowed hard.

"Yes Anakin is him and Qui-Gon as a youngling, he's got a knack for making friends and making alot of them here right now." Tiana said to him and Mace nodded. "Well he's right, he's like a youngling version to Noor, and even he knows we see the chancellor's interference as dangerous." Adi said to him and he nodded. "He also never needed to see my lightsaber if he said that, he knows what I am, what we are." he said to her and she nodded in agreement to that.

"Lone wolf cub, and he's going to make one heck of successor if we keep him on his path Adi." he said to her and she nodded. "You're the leader of the four of us, Mace, so your color is more powerful then mine is, but you're a guardian, I'm a sentinel." she said and he nodded. "And Siri is fighting the evil in her own heart and she's a free spirit, so both of those together, she's like this, as her color changed as she grew up now, but there it is now, Sister."

"He's a cub me, fighting the evil in his heart and he's a guardian, but what is said next is true, we only need to feel the signature of his children now. In order to know who their father is, as we raised him from his current age to adult-hood." he said and she nodded in agreement to his thoughts. "And for the record, we're not as stupid as we look, as if I have children or get married myself here now, there is only one signature that matches my babies here."

"And said is the Jedi they raised from my current age to adulthood here, your excellency." he said and the chancellor tried to keep from paling at that. "But stuck in whatever way that I was an adult, like that you, if you're the Sithmaster of the one that tried to kill my father, you have a power advantage on me. Fully human, I got one on you, and my family added to it, you'd never survive the fight with my entire family here now, as to that right now."

"So again, like this right, with me just learning my powers you got one on me, but as I grow, my powers will dwarf yours, but if I get hurt here now in it. And lose 50% of that connection to the force, you got a power advantage on me, fully human and they're age of near 47, I got one on you, and with it. Add my kids, if I have twins, and you're never going to survive this fight with me and my children, as the council is too old for this and you with them now."

"However many years it takes, before we take you on, as the first is considered a testing in your strength as a Sith, right now." he said and he swallowed hard at that. "Never see it coming, as we did that, so you could think you won, and instead we tested your strength and exposed you to everyone as what you are. The Sithmaster that masterminded the entire plot, turning me into your weapon, well how about turn about is fair play?" he asked and Mace smiled then.

"That's right, turn-about is fair play, but if this never crossed your mind it will now, but did this ever occur to you, my powers in their hands can destroy your order. In Master Yoda's hands, my powers can save billions, as I take Master Windu's place as next in command. Master Windu himself becomes grandmaster and group by group, all areas of your dictatorship. They start being destroyed as the years go by." he said and Mace watched him pale at that remark then.

"This is simple right now, but to the entire galaxy, any child of mine, beyond powerful, staying good could become their secret of their success in destroying your dictatorship. While to them, if my children ever turned as well this galaxy would never stand a chance right now. But Evil thrives on the sins, the good sticks to the straight and narrow, and yes, yes right now. We're Jedi, but we're only human, for those of us who are human." he said and Mace nodded sternly.

"I know what you're thinking after you felt the power blast, all that power, your's for the taking, if you can condition me to question everything. Everything the council has to teach me, don't be a pawn of the Jedi Council, well I consider that a compliment. A compliment rather then an insult, never figured out the gentle look of love in Master's eyes towards me. The trust between us, well your window of opportunity just slammed shut, the window of opportunity is closed."

"Because 1) my father is still alive, don't try anything, the door is guarded by some of Dack's security teams, 2) I explained certain things on my past to the council. And 3) they told me I already had what I needed without need to go against everything I believe in. Reason being is Father studied the power already, so he teaches it to me, I teach it to my kids. And we got a way to do this with breaking our morality to do it." he said and they watched him go white.

"But you consider the bond of connection of a padawan to his mentor, there is mental/emotional link, between a Jedi and his apprentice. One that enables you to see and feel everything whoever on the other side of that link is seeing and feeling. Ergo, the anger at our father getting stabbed shot into me, I helped kill that Zabrak that stabbed our father. Before he felt my careful calculation of getting it right on the first shot, by shooting blind." he said and he swallowed.

"Whoa, the connection was correct, Obi-wan's meant to be his mentor of the normal training, I got him for Master Guardian." Siri said and Yoda nodded. "Like Qui-Gon and Obi-wan, connection, snapped into place between them, it did. That meant to be it his padawan, Anakin is now, never stood a chance, Ferus does and not when spent days and hours together. The trio have, but jealousy of connection, not tolerating it, I am." he said and the council nodded then.

"If you are 'him', then I should tell you your mentor dropped into my spaceport 3 weeks ago, but I knew something was severely wrong, when he was questioning me. Meeting my father, I felt safe, like he was the one I was meant to become now in all truth here. Before hearing I am force sensitive, a chance to choose, before I was even given a choice. But that fatherly to grandfatherly attitude, you're not fooling me, I see the calculation of lust for power here."

"In your eyes right now." he said and Mace shifted his gaze to Palpatine's eyes then and saw a look that disturbed him greatly. "Yikes, that look on his face, it says he wants him for his power right now." Siri said, crossing her arms and Yoda nodded sternly. "Well I am saying it now, but no, I want nothing to do with you, my mentors as the grandmaster. And the council themselves just arrived, I am to report into them on what happened here, but I see it oh so clearly."

"But my family's source of destruction, seems to be stemmed from you or your colleague, if you are associated with 'him' or you are 'him'. But I am making this highly clear right now, but I will never turn to the darkside, you failed my lord, I am a Jedi, like my father before me." he said and turned his back to him. "You want to kill me?" he asked him and he froze up. "I…." he said shaking and Mace nodded. "Got it, if he is one, pull it, he's finished." Adi said and he nodded.

"If this was me, I would do the same thing and…., oh for force's sake, he's a near 10 year old me, but the kindness and caring of Obi-wan, and the sharp edge, loyalty. And devotion of me when I was his age, 18 months, then we activate him at 11 years old old. And we just put his copy of his new lightsaber on a time delay, as you and Father train him till I come home." Siri said and Adi and Yoda nodded as he and Yaddle exchanged bemused smiles at his attempt.

"Not necessary that was Anakin, but nice mental trap, attacks you either way, if he is one, and take him down, we do." Yoda said with a bemused smile then and Adi tried to keep from laughing. "Push him into attacking him with his back turned, and us waiting for the attack, try it, and we got our evidence he is one, as that could be taken as he is in league with the Master. Or he is the Master, talk about a role reversal." Tiana said with a chuckle and he nodded smiling.

"Oh nice bait and switch son, pull it, we take him down." Damon said smiling at that. "I know you do, I can feel your anger, it's making you weaker, you're losing focus now. But if you're not paying attention, look around us." Anakin said and Palpatine froze up, realizing he forgot his surroundings and they were not alone at that. And as he saw the members of the council that came to Naboo, watching him carefully, as he realized they were waiting for a response.
