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.
Chapter 11: Family Meetings And Truths I
Feeling the utter irony of his own failings he saw everything they should have seen when they met, as he opened his eyes and looked into Anakin's at that. "Well now I see where we'd messed up Anakin, we should have done this memory recall as you showed us everything through the link. When Qui-Gon gave us that news he found you and the possibility of your being the chosen one." he said and Yoda nodded in agreement to that as he saw it through Mace.
"There's something else, but you know of the Stargliders, Leia and Dave?" he asked and they nodded. "Leia's maiden name is Skywalker." he said and Yoda nodded in shock. "As in..." Mace started to say and Anakin nodded. "Yeah she's mom's twin." he said to him and they nodded in shocked disbelief at the news as Yoda said it for all of them at that news. "Aunt, your's she is?" he asked and Anakin nodded as he said it to him gently at that.
"I'm the Anakin she talked about when she contacted you, mom was concerned as she didn't understand why I was this strong, she asked Father. Now if you could help me, but the help is teaching me to control this power now, as I put both together to make me like you Master Windu." he told him and he nodded as they all smiled as they realized he was of Jedi descent then. "Then this was right on schedule!" Obi-wan said in relief at that news gently.
"Yeah we made a couple mistakes in that time-line, but this one, we fix those mistakes, but though I'm part of Adi's team now, I'm part of your's still. Obi-wan you are my brother, I love you, as a brother and best friend, everything I ever needed in a mentor, I had with you, you're a great mentor. And I truly was thankful to be your apprentice, but this sentence was not about you, but about Ferus." he said and Obi-wan nodded as he ran his hand through his hair.
"In some ways, a lot of ways, I was really ahead of him, I was ready for the trials, but at the same time, I wasn't ready to let go." he said and Obi-wan nodded to him gently. "You knew you were ready mentally, but emotionally you still felt like this, and in being a cub not wanting to let go?" Mace said to clarify and he nodded. "Like I said, you understand our attachment and share it." he said and the council and quartet all nodded gently at that remark.
"It was after a second run in with Zan Arbor now, that he started growing wary of me, that he felt I was too unpredictable, he wouldn't let it go. And over the code, he's on us all the time to follow the code, but the irony is he never does it himself, we all said it, eaves dropping is not the Jedi way, nor is lying. He's overly critical, he never listens to my suggestions, he just does not understand what it means to be this powerful here now."
"But what I could never talk to him about or Tru about, as I didn't want to talk to them, knowing they would twist the words in our conversations. I told you, all of you, it wasn't until the moment of truth, said was when we were on Korriban, as your test in the honesty test, and I passed it by turning them in." he said and they nodded. "The lightsaber, he fell in that one moment, choosing duty to your friends over duty to the truth." he said and they all nodded.
"A chance to graduate early over the safety of the team by an imperfect weapon, Darra and I chose you in that one second, but this split the team in half. I turned them into you, and instead of a close call murder, it turned into a real murder, in his eyes he resigned, in your's, he was expelled here. For lying and trying to implicate me in murder." he said and Mace crossed his arms at that as the trio exchanged shocked looks at that news.
"Master it was Dooku and Lorian all over again." he said and Sifo Dyas and Yoda nodded in shock at that. "So you're Dooku and they're Lorian, but what Dooku could never say, you did, you loved him as a friend, and you were sorry he blew his graduation?" Sifo Dyas asked as he crouched in front of him. "Yeah that sums it up, I was promising Padawan, but I wanted another 6 years, were it not for that lightsaber I would have got it, in your words though."
"I had exceptional skills, but at the same time, since Darra these skills made me slightly hot tempered and arrogant, in bordering on suicidally reckless. Which to Obi-wan, he was scared out of his mind to let me out of his sight right now as we didn't know when the shadow had fallen till it hit. And when we got reunited with Padme right now and as a back to back death hit, my premonitions started going berserk." he said and they nodded gently to the news.
"It's not attachment either, the non Jedi side of me was a teenage, borderline young adult man who was back with his love interest. To put that bluntly, that month separated for us, was the one that we courted on, we got married before the Clone Wars started at the time here. So through me, she had a lock right into you guys, though this time I'm telling you ahead of time, but she's my wife, in the other time-line." he said and Mace nodded to the news.
"One side or another, you had to remind me here, that Padme would want me to focus, as aside from that Master and the clones with her could manage. And for a bit, but I had work to do, and if we stopped him in that one, minute, we could have stopped the war, before it could begin at the time, but the fight. I lost my arm and you all saw it immediately, you knew when Obi-wan told you I was with her on Naboo, we chose it then." he said and they nodded to him.
"You know everything about him, you mean you can tell us everything we need to know on him and the Sith?" Damon said and he nodded. "And you just changed the course of history by stepping in, before my memories hit me just now, you got to me first. He has to find himself a new apprentice and we fixed it now, my mentor, Master Yoda, it's you, he's your Sith counterpart, but you got to me first." he said smiling at him and the council nodded smiling sternly.
"Well you're going to want to see this." he said and the group nodded "He's creating the uniform of my alter ego, while fitting prosthetic limbs into place on my arm and legs now." he said and they nodded. "Force you look like you ended up getting burned in a fire." Soara said in shock and he nodded. "Technically I was, the fight was Mustafar, but the fight ended in a draw, rather then killing me, like I wanted him, Obi-wan left me there, and Sidious, did this."
"This is how I turned into Darth Vader as the way everyone from the next two generations knows me. But trust me now, what you hear next is going to have every Jedi in this room ready to kill him." he said to the council and his brother's clan quartet then as they heard a scream of pain and Obi-wan jerked at that. "You were completely conscious the entire time he was doing this?" Mace said in shock to that and he nodded to him firmly and he nodded angrily.
"Blast it, I should have taken you back with me, so we healed your injuries and that was it, before he destroyed you like this. But you were stuck like that for the following 23 years, it's not happening again right now and I mean that." Obi-wan snapped in a protective fury at what he was seeing. "Crossed me now, he has, not going through this again you are, mean that I do." Yoda said with a beyond furious look on his face at this.
"Oh force, if I needed another reason to kill that Sith scum I just got it now, but that scum is never coming near you again as you grow into your powers and I mean that." Kit said in shocked anger at this. "Why didn't we just pay closer attention to this when around him, even though he's cloaking his signature and eyes to us. He's still a Sithlord, my son was put through a hell he shouldn't have had to deal with, but never again."
"He's never coming near you again Anakin and I mean that right now, if we'd been paying closer attention here. But thanks to that formula, we lost total control of this and it's not happening again." Mace said with a low growl at that and he nodded. "Yeah I know, but we got one single chance, you cut Vader out and left me, and you guys heal my injuries, he's getting the suit now, as this is my clone walking around in the flesh." he said and they nodded sternly.
"Just a single example as Ferus clearly never wanted me as a mentor, he wanted Obi-wan and Father." Siri said to him gently then and he nodded gently. "That's your mission when you gained the prophecy of what the said prophecy Father dragged up. The two correlate as one." he told her and she nodded sternly. "But to quote your remark, is you know I can fight, I proved that time and time again, but this was about working together."
"He is not your padawan, speaking of me, but you combine your strengths together and cover the weakness and together you are stronger. But only if you set aside your differences and work together as one." he said and she smiled proudly. "Very good, there you see exactly what we mean, you understand father and me better then you think." she said and he nodded as he hugged her tightly and she pressed her forehead to his.
"The acts of certain missions turned into a case of I know what I'm doing even better then he does, but he didn't start till after you got back now here. I know and new the primary lesson you wanted us to learn, and paraphrased in the quartet's version to what you would tell us said is we both got our own. Said in strengths and weaknesses, that was either one to learn, but you combine with the strength and cover the weakness, together you are stronger."
"But only if you set aside your differences and work as one together." he said and she nodded smiling as Damon and Tiana exchanged grins at the lesson. "Good and what else?" she asked and he smiled. "And the fear of looking like a fool is no reason to do something, or not to do, for it is a fear born in weakness, or pride, that your counterpart is even better then you are." he said and she nodded smiling proudly as she answered him gently at that remark then.
"Bingo, you understand us better then you think, because you were the first activated, raised in the field, you know what you're doing. But that's precisely the problem, but what would you think if he reworded this remark, as you understand us better then you think, so again?" Adi asked and he thought it over. "So my quartet are younger then me in training, I've been doing mission after mission, after mission right now, activated since my near 10th birthday."
"Though this was evidently a mission test right now, if you immediately came here to talk to me one more time right now, you know I can fight. That's very apparent, but they had to learn to capitulate to me and vice versa, on our own, we're good, but together, we're unstoppable. But only if we set aside our differences and work as one." he said and she smiled and gave a nod as she answered him gently at that in response.
"Yes and what else?" she asked and he smiled as he answered. "But the fear of looking like a fool is no reason to do something, or not to, for it is a fear born in weakness." he said and they smiled. "Exactly, that's exactly what we wanted you to learn, but you got the point, and you passed the test, but his jealousy. If you're doing what you're supposed to, but he's not and then he gives a training threat now in this case."
"That's enough to clip his wings now whoever says it, but our lessons are being reworded for you and your peers, but the four of us in this case. That's Adi, Qui-Gon, Damon and I are your training quartet, so with that, now that we had the chance to get to know the real you. It's clear to all of us you could be an exact match to anyone of us right now, as a result here." Tiana said to him and he nodded gently at the remark as Damon said it then.
"There were a few things we need to understand this, but what are you afraid of where your mother is concerned?" he asked and Anakin sighed as he said it. "I know things will never stay the same forever, and secondly for whatever reason now, I was good at making friends and made them easily. Although if this phantom had a master of his own, they showed up in my spaceport, but here's why now." he said and they nodded gently to him.
"You know of the slave trader?" he asked and they straightened. "Krayne, the notorious slave raider, slave trader, we do indeed why exactly?" Mace asked as he crouched in front of him at that as he looked into his eyes. "Two years ago he raided my space port, and took my best friend's mother, and a few other slaves, some children my age, others a few adults, I wasn't sure if he got mom or not and headed to my apartment."
"But I saw a look of fear in her eyes that I never want to see again." he said and they nodded. "Master if you don't mind I would like it if you call me Annie, that's what father calls me." Anakin said and they nodded to the request. "Well you or whoever of the other teams chooses me, I promise never to lie, I do that with mom and Amee's parents, it will the same for you, I swear." he said and they all nodded gently at that remark.
"I feel a certain fear in you, but what is wrong?" he asked and Anakin sighed. "I'm afraid of what is in my own heart, after what I saw in that character that attacked and nearly killed father now." he said and they nodded. "Well that's what we had to talk to you about actually, you know that the Jedi carry one color or another, but let me show you something." Mace said as he and Adi turned on their lightsabers and he smiled.
"Purple, orange, anyone else like this?" he asked and they nodded. "Yes my apprentice, your sister actually, she's an adult you." she said and he nodded smiled gently at the news. "So what's her name?" he asked and before she could answer that they heard a gentle smile in a female voice. "Siri Tachi, and nice to meet you little brother." she said and he nodded as he turned to see a young woman no older then Obi-wan and the duo then with blond hair.
"Hey Sis." he said and she smiled at the title. "What was that about before I came in?" she asked and Adi crossed her arms. "The force dragged his soul from 40 years into the future and threw him back to today, we know who our sith is." she said and Siri nodded. "So the you talking to me, if you called me that?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah, my 50 year old self, but 14 years older, big sister." he said and she nodded with a smile then.
"Adi chose me, so you're my mentor now, her my parental." he said and she nodded as she pressed her forehead to his and he closed his eyes as she felt it surge through her and she nodded as she opened her eyes as she looked into his gently. "Issues of seeing what happens when you switch mentors, and the one man we all love is still alive as we see what this does for changing the future." he said and she chuckled and nodded to that.
"I think he had as much of effect on us as Master does." she said and he nodded. "Trained us, raised us, we can't imagine not having him there when we need him, can't go it alone, don't know how." he said in response and Yoda nodded as he felt the remark warm his heart then as he listened to their conversation. "Trained you too well I see if see me the way they do, you do." Yoda said to that and he nodded as she smiled gently at that.
"Like I said, I loved all of you as family, but you were my real mentor, that if I'm anything like Obi-wan as a cub, you got problems here. As I had the life scared out of me one too many times over that 13 year basis and this time, I've got you around for my entire life now." he said and they nodded gently. "After your brother nearly broke his knee I had the life scared out of me as your father nearly broke here." Mace said to that and he nodded to him.
"Mentally I'm getting way too old for this, but training the twins, they're even worse then I am as we don't go looking for trouble, the trouble. The trouble finds us on every planet we go to right now, but you better read the chase down, because my son-in-law is even more reckless at the helm then I am." he said and Damon took a look and nodded. "Oh gods come on." Adi said with a bemused chuckle at that as she read it and nodded to that.
"Son you keep this and you're going to give me a heart attack at this rate take it down a notch, and young lady when your brother tells you to wait. Just wait before you walk right into an ambush come on right now cubs, that's ridiculous right now." Tiana said reading the chase to Bespin and through the forests of the Endor moon and started laughing and Siri nodded with a chuckle at that remark.
"Well I wasn't kidding when I told this to Ahsoka, but this happens to me all the time and they got it just as bad, your grandson is my son-in-law's best friend but these guys had it turning into total pandemonium in these scenarios." he said and the quartet started laughing. "I think you started something, but your padawan starts that with you and we got trouble right now at this rate." Mace said with a chuckle at that
"Masters, I know I got to face certain memories, and let go on those, but there are things I can do without getting exposed, so say she's going in, now. And you got your way in on me." he said and they nodded as the adult quartet exchanged looks. "Use you as the bait, are you kidding me, after what just happened, I'm not losing you again." Obi-wan said in shock to that and he shook his head as he looked at him then.
"You need a way to get to him and I'm your one chance, what would happen if Ferus tried this huh, he wants the glory of the arrest, but he doesn't know it. He doesn't know what slavery is like, to us everyday is a new day to die, you need to understand this, but our owners have the power of life or death over us." he said and Mace nodded as he looked from Adi to Siri and Yoda nodded in agreement to that as Siri said it to him gently at that.
"I'm a slave, this is normal, only I can get in and get close enough to him, to get him finally for the deaths of over 500,000,000 slaves, you need me." he said and they nodded. "These are not people but possessions in his eyes Master, when as slaves, we're property not people, I raced for my freedom and I get it. I wish to do my entire network on my planet, and once done, we do him, after 3 to 4 years of training, my lightsaber, I'm purple."
"So not vengeance, only justice, for the murders of millions, I can do this, but you have to trust me, I won't let that anger get in the way of what has to be done." he said and they nodded. "We understand, but the first kill with any weapon, once you come out of training is too much here." Mace said to him and he nodded. "And I need your council, I took a life to save billions, I can't handle this." he said and Mace nodded to him gently at that.
"I'm relieved you told me that, before I went on that mission right now Annie, but the council has requested me on a intelligence gathering mission involving Krayne now." she said and they nodded in agreement to that. "Then I'm relieved you told me that, but we have to go in after you, I'm your best bet to get close to him, you knew what I am, but this is a piece I had to deal with, I maybe free but sooner or later."
"Something is going to result in a repeater, but he's every Slave's worst nightmare." he said and they nodded to the news gently. "We got news he's a humanoid?" she asked and he nodded. 'He's a T'surr." he said and she nodded in stern disgust at that. "Lovely, they're vicious brutes, especially the men of the species now." she said and he nodded as she crouched in front of him then gently as she said it then.
"You're my baby brother, but you ending up in the middle if he or his wookie assistant touch you, I'm not being held responsible for my actions, I'm not losing you." she said and he nodded to her as he hugged her and she tightened her arms. "You have no idea how much I missed you sis, in truth, though I got branded by the name of hero with no fear, not true, my one fear is losing someone else I love after I lost my best friend's mother."
"Before that fear started getting worse after we lost Master Yaddle, she risked her own life to save me." he said and they nodded as that did it for them. "The war was picking you guys, as my friends and adopted family off one by one, all that was left of us, in the 12 of us was Masters Tiana and Damon, Obi-wan and me, as Tru was thrown off her team and Ferus was expelled for lying and implication." he said and she nodded as Soara said it gently at that.
"Your mother was dead and though you had a step-family, you were an orphan now." she said and he nodded to her. "Jedi family, that takes on a whole new meaning and we mean that literally too, as a Jedi you guys saw my flaws and didn't mind here, as I did everything at the time. It was after she made a come back that I said it finally and while one bond was falling apart the other was getting stronger, in my age group, you." he said to her and she nodded.
"Me, so you and my baby sister, did you say it as well, before we lost her?" she asked and he nodded. "I was trapped in a security force field, and they exchanged knowing glances as they traded lightsabers, but at the same time it went, Omega fired. And she took the shot for Ferus, but I already turned them in, but like Cerasi, same thing, I couldn't get up, I didn't want to get up, I was feeling the same agony Obi-wan did at nearly losing her."
"But that did it finally, before they ripped out the connection I did it prior, but I made my choice, and you guys, as our mentors were it." he said and she nodded to the news as their mentors exchanged furious looks. "Yeah there is no forgiveness for this, were it not for them and a busted lightsaber you never would have changed at all." Siri said sternly and she nodded in agreement. "Master team swap, Obi-wan and Ry." she said and Adi and Damon nodded to her.
"And us and Adi and Siri, I understand and good idea, we need to keep the boys separated, before this starts twice right now, if she's 2/3's connection. I can guess that though he got married here, they chose to stay the best of friends and he decided the girls could share him." he said in response and she nodded. "And I plan to do that, but I can't change too much or the kids are never going to be born." he said and they and the council all nodded gently at that.
"So if not Qui-Gon and Obi-wan, it's going to be Adi and me, but we're like you baby, so it's going to be fine now." she said and he nodded to her. "Is this your first test of trying it out of your own gender?" he asked and she nodded. "Yeah, but we think alike and we're completely devoted to our mentors, but you grew up in the field and gained lessons they don't teach till one on one starts." she said and he nodded as he answered her gently.
"Well that's my daughter, I want you being her mentor." he said and she nodded with a smile at the remark. "Godmother?" she asked and he nodded as Obi-wan smiled at the remark. "Yep, you guys are my best friends and my brother and sister, so why not, godparents, and aunts and uncles, while the extended Jedi family is the rest of you in our quartet and the council." he said to her then and they smiled happily at his remark.
"The family quartet was the 12 of us now, but you're the ones I spent the most time with right now, before they screwed it up, I'm also, was, closest to Lana." he said and they nodded smiling. "Let me guess, but you're the same way you were with me?" she asked and he smiled and she chuckled. "Thought so, she's three years older, and we're beyond close, so why bother letting you go, this where you belong." she said and he nodded smiled gently.
"Jedi family, they get the best possible education out of this and from you now, but if I was training from my padawan's age and under you now. I would see this as you're the most important thing in the world to me Master, I always came to you for advice." he said and Yoda smiled gently at that. "But she's possibly both, though that true, and she's gained my entirely personality, while her brother is like his mother, though he gained my abilities."
"And my son is like me, a Jedi/fighter pilot, that armor on the protocol droid and I'm not quite done with him, but I was intending to cover him in gold. That's Threepio, and that's C-3PO, Artoo, he was passed from us back to the twins, Artoo went with us everywhere we went after she and I got married. So Threepio was with Padme, Artoo came with us, Obi-wan, during the war." he said and they nodded with a bemused smile.
"So that's your droid, the astro droid next to him could be Artoo." Obi-wan said and he nodded. "That's the boys alright, but they got their original jobs back with the twins and did the same with them for another generation." he said and they all nodded to the news gently as that cemented it them. "Get the queen in here, we need to talk, as if this had gone in reverse, after three years of this, the mission, if we had to do a repeater."
"And of your case Obi-wan, and someone is in trouble, when we train our students and when they're younger then the age we normally choose from. Then we got a problem, as you never lied to us, before and you're not about to start now." Tiana said to that and he nodded. "Uh oh, if you and Padme get back together and..." Mace started to say and he nodded smiling as he answered him gently at that as they all relaxed then.
"Right, I'm telling you immediately, I swear, but six weeks to 3 months after I deal with whatever caused these visions this time. And I need to check in with whoever my extended family is." he said and they all nodded. "Well the good news is I'm a Jedi counselor, so you got something you can't tell your peers, just tell us as a master is everything you need us to be." Mace said and Anakin nodded as he thought it over gently at that.
"And if this was a school you're running, that when the temple healers say call the masters they mean you, as you're not only the guidance counselor, but also the headmaster?" he asked and Mace nodded with a chuckle and he nodded gently. "Yes and I hear a fight break out if someone of the temple raised just broke our trust and trying to get involved in this when we said stay out of it and they're in trouble." he said and Anakin nodded to that.
"I'm facing a few things of my past now, but after the galactic games, I'm giving it up for good." he said and they nodded gently. "I need to see what happened in that race this time, if he said you came out of everyone of the past races unscathed. But took an injury or two in this one at the moment right now." Adi said and he nodded as he pressed his forehead to her's and opened his mind to her.
Seeing everything through her, Damon jerked. "Force this dug is menace." Mace said sharply at that and he nodded. "Father sold him my pod-racer, but unknown to him and I think he was teaching him about racing cleanly and good sportsmanship. My racer has a slight handicap, so it floods the engines, and stalls out, giving everyone a 30 second head-start." he said and they nodded as they tried to keep from laughing at the news then.
"Nice touch Qui, that does it every time right now." Tiana said to that and Mace nodded with a chuckle. "Let me guess, that's his nickname, what you call him?" Anakin asked and the council and the trio nodded gently and he smiled. "Yes, we started calling him that from the time we were your age, but we're career Jedi masters and knights as a result, we did three or four padawans, since we were no older then your brother now."
"And I'm just saying this, but not all of the council are Masters, some of us are knights." Mace said and he nodded the news. "Your father got promoted to master, by the time your brother was 19, but what he told you, before, he wasn't kidding, we lost a friend 9 years ago." he said and Anakin nodded. "We're like everyone else, but our bodies can only take so much, before they give out." Adi said and he nodded to her gently as he sighed.
"That's my fear, losing someone I love and not being there to head it off." he told her and she nodded gently. "We understand, but like he said for now best just stay in the moment, things change, and they happen fast, but the one thing that doesn't is the way we feel about you, my son." Adi said and he nodded as she pressed her forehead to his and he closed his eyes and then buried his head into her shoulder and Obi-wan smiled gently.
'Yeah the cub in him is taking total control, but though a Jedi, still a youngling, a child, he's only 9, near 10.' Mace thought softly to that. "Two things, but one is piloting skills, and the other was my mechanical abilities, but trust me what you see is not always what you get in these situations right now. If I'm being trained by you Siri, then the catch of what could be a 'not again' situation starts here." he said and she nodded with a smile at that remark then.
"Yes and I have to keep chasing you down and you're busted, baby." she said smiling and he nodded to her as Obi-wan hid chuckle to that. "Yeah about that, I know I got to tell you where I'm going before I leave to gather equipment at the moment and I'm going to do that." he said and they nodded. "There's a few dangerous spots on the planet that you younglings are forbidden to go to, and it's below the sun barrier."
"But if you want, I can get you into the piloting program, we created, before the Chuns." Adi said and he nodded to her gently at that. "Well that explains these four right now, I take it this Chun was part of a piece that had Obi-wan on thin ice, before he patched things up with you?" he asked and they all nodded. "Indeed, but what do we mean by deepest commitment, the most serious mind?" Mace asked him and he smiled as he looked between them.
"Deepest commitment: not to the order, but my team, I'm totally devoted to my team, the most serious mind: I must be completely sincere. But you can't just swear an oath, and then two months later take it back, doesn't work like that, we create this connection, we stick to it." he said and they smiled proudly. "There, that it is, what we mean when say that we do, padawan." Yaddle said to him smiling and he nodded her gently.
"I'd like to know how Ferus is expected to get passed your knowledge, when you know what we want, and just from a secondary discussion here." Damon said to that and Anakin nodded. "With the fact we had a second chance at a new first impression now finally, we see what Qui-Gon saw now, but till we know for sure. It's we keep this between us starting now." Siri said to him and the council nodded in agreement to that remark then gently.
"Yeah I agree with her, he's good no doubts there, but he doesn't need this hanging on him and thrown at him every time he turns around." Soara said and Ry' nodded in agreement to that and their mentors nodded in agreement to that. "You got my oath, and it's completely sincere, my sister, you and my partner team, who we get paired up with when on missions after a ro-test between us." he said and he looked between their teams gently at that.
"Issues with the big sister, expect you guys getting territorial with me right now, who's your third?" he asked and they smiled. "Aside from Soara and me, there's Minga and Bant', she's a Mon Calamari." Siri said and he nodded smiling gently at the news as Ry finished that remark then. "Still on Coruscant." he asked and they nodded. "Kit was training her, after her mentor was killed 6 years ago." Mace said and he nodded to the news gently.
"Right, Master Dantallion was killed on New Apsolon." he said and they nodded to him. "Toojay belongs to her, and this was something, you guys only just figured out here, that Father had fallen in love with his best friend, before she was abducted." he said and they nodded. "Yeah we clearly told you way too much if you knew everything about us in that time-line, or till we get our own memories of this stuff back." Obi-wan said and Anakin nodded to that.
"Any padawan wants to make it in selections best get to know who you want as a mentor, before they get chosen and I'm doing that here. But no need to show off, just be yourself, and I'm doing that, by getting into conversation with you, before you start me." he said and they nodded in agreement to that. "What's also in there is controlling your temper and your fear, once you do that, and you're ready." Mace said and he nodded to him gently at that.
"Well I only use my weapon as a last resort, and why need it when we're also telekinetic here?" he asked and they smiled at that. "Yes and words and telekinesis can get the job done, just as easily as being ready for a fight here, case in point is showing we mean business here. And frankly though you're not perfect, and we wouldn't wanted you to be, but you are perfect for us." Soara said smiling and he he grinned at that.
"And that's not if your own padawan, becomes my possible best friend/imprint, but everything he, that's Ferus, wants, I already have. But I'm still connected to the team he wants, I got your trust and the approval, and finally this continues in the same direction, Darra chooses me now. But watch out for the 'if I can't have her, then no one can' attitude, we're only human and that's normal." he said and the masters all nodded sternly at that.
"I swear that attitude of arrogance in being the so called perfect padawan was shadowing a very dangerous side effect of the darkness within." Mace said sternly to that remark and he nodded. "What's your style in lightsaber forms?" he asked and Mace explained that. "It's form 7, it allows you to channel your darkness and anger into the blade and let go without crossing the line entirely." he said and Anakin nodded to the news gently.
"Which form does the same thing?" he asked and Obi-wan answered that one. "That's form V, we call it Djem So." he said and he nodded. "Well I bet the only reason you never saw that coming was because we never changed the code, he had 13 years to prepare here." he said and Yoda nodded. "And 36 we have now, to make it clear his downfall is to come, but clone order we will and everyone, but you, Obi-wan and I now."
"Are the only Jedi left, and others go Grey Jedi after that, but not losing you without a fight now, my padawan." Yoda said and he nodded in agreement to that. "Master you're not perfect, you make mistakes, but..." he said and Yoda nodded gently. "Guys, I'm playing games with you here, I already know and remember this, after 13 years spent with you." he said and Mace nodded with a bemused smile at that remark as he answered him at that.
"Should have seen that coming with you cub, but if this what we were like, once we set aside the barriers, you keep it up with us, you're busted." he said and Anakin nodded. "And another thing, three years testing our relationship is one thing, but I find one of your experiments running amok, and that's a warning, but you keep it up in getting smart with me." he said and moved his hand to his side as he finished that remark gently at that
"Keep it up in getting smart with me and I'm going to let you have it, you wiseacre." he said and as he pulled him into his arms and let him have it. "No, no okay, okay, I won't, I swear master, I swear, I give up." he said laughing and he stopped as he looked at the older man gently with a look of love in his eyes. "Right not testing you by practical jokes or I get it twice in a month here, but yeah I understand." he said and the older man nodded gently.
'Yeah my cub, my baby boy.' she saw in Mace's eyes and hid a chuckle. 'Now I started something, changing this past week, worked a little too well, but I never expected him to let me have it.' she saw in her brother's eyes in response to that. "To repeat that, keep it up in getting smart with us, and he's not the only one. Still a 9, near 10 year old youngling padawan, we're too strong for you, cub, don't push it now." Damon said smiling gently at him.
"Yeah now I'm in trouble, powers still slightly weak, you guys outnumber me, but issues with being around your parental mentor quintet, you get smart. And they're going to let you have it, and I already got picked first, before the others get added to our quartet, but either the parental ones or the real one. You get smart and your trio is going to let you have it, or the adopted parental mentor will." he said and the duo nodded with a smile gently at that.
As Adi started laughing at that remark and Anakin nodded with a playful smile on his face at that as Yoda smiled at seeing the real him showing as they looked at him, knowing it was working. "But correct you are, and never saw that before till tell me directly you do Anakin, but indeed, sometimes failure, the greater teacher is. Indeed and see that myself I do, made mistake in not going to one on one, after being alerted to this, but second chance now we get."
"My padawan you are, and made your choice you did this soon, but his faith in you misplaced it is and will be and as his faith in the darkside." he said and Anakin nodded in agreement. "Yes and just a single choice and we split me in two, and this me stays a Jedi as my alter ego is in the flesh. And learns the hard way Padme and our twins are alive, and I'm being who you want me to be." he said and they nodded in relief that he said that.
"To get back to what your question was, there were 10 in our class, but us 4, Minga, Bant, Reeft, Garen and two others, one of them was disgraced. And the other was killed after joining our team's biggest enemy at the time, his name was Xanatos, which was what I meant." Obi-wan said and he nodded. "I take it he was like my own rival, till it destroys him?" Anakin asked and he nodded to him as the council exchanged annoyed looks then.
"Yes, and this was why we were worried, but you grew up in the outside world this is easy for you, as a result, but think about it, padawan. What would happen if this was in reverse, right now, but you know where you come from, what you cause is, you have a planet, people and cause already. Would you leave us, or would you stay at our side, once you examined that lesson from another angle?" Mace asked and he smiled gently at that.
"I'm looking at your advice from another angle, once done, I tell you what they asked me for, and once you agree, I would leave without arguing. My place is at your side, I don't belong there, I'm a Jedi, I have a family, people, planet and cause already, no need to think twice, my place is with you. Here with Padme, or at home with my family and friends, I am a Jedi, just need time for reflection now." he said and they smiled proudly at the remark then gently at that.
"Our entire clan is the four of us, Minga, Garen Muln, and our friend Reeft, Bant and Minga are training to be a medic right now, the rest of us. We all went padawan, but we got a couple more years before we're ready to let go completely." Obi-wan said and Anakin nodded to him gently. "Yeah I remember that, Bruck was killed out of his own anger and arrogance, and Aalto was expelled from the academy, leaving only the 10 of you." he said and Obi-wan nodded.
"Well says clearly you remember most of what we told you, that does." Yoda said and he nodded. "And just because you don't get accepted for training, it's not the end of the world, we give up so many things when we choose this life, we're destined to have no family or home, not being a padawan is a gift. It gives you everything you would give up back, and you live a normal life, though you keep your lightsaber." he said and Yoda smiled at that remark gently then.
"And that's the way we see it as well, you understand, you're a out of the temple raised padawan, you understand perfectly." Adi said to him and he nodded. "All the lessons you would teach them in the one on one, I learn that in action as I was born and raised in the field, I'm only 9, with my 46 year old mind. But I see the world and galaxy around me in a way not many non force sensitives do right now." he said and the council nodded as they looked at him with a smile.
"Do and did they honestly expect me to lie to you over our lightsabers if that lightsaber is damaged enough to short out?" he asked and Mace crossed his arms at that news. "If they did, they're facing expulsion from the Jedi order for attempted implication and lying to a Jedi master and their mentors on this right now. You never lied to us, before you're not starting now." he said and Damon and Adi nodded in stern agreement as they exchanged firm looks at that news.
"Whoever tries that is in serious trouble you never lied to us before, and you're not going to start now." Damon said and Mace nodded in agreement to that, just as he finished saying this Padme Amidala walked in and he looked up. "Hello your highness, nice to finally meet you in person now." Mace said to her and she nodded. "So what is this about Master Jedi, Annie?" she asked and he smiled, as he answered her gently at the question then as he explained it.
"After making our decision these books arrived, the cover of one of these stories show who are your children." he said and she nodded in shock. "Who's the father?" she asked and Anakin answered that. "You better see this, but does he look familiar, age me ten years." he said and she looked at him and then looked at the illustration and nodded in shock. "That's my son and the girl looks like me." she said and he nodded to her then.
"They're our twins, but the code got changed, we can keep in touch as your terms come to an end." he said and she nodded smiling then. "So what's the add on now?" she asked and he smiled. "With me being a test run, we can see each other every few months, and keep in contact, but that change in the code means. That we can fall in love and get married." he said and she nodded as she smiled gently as she looked at them and the council nodded.
"He's not the only one with a family Highness, I have one, Nejaa Halcyon and Thracia Cho Leem do as well, as does Ki." Damon said and she nodded. "We're keeping you updated here, so with you a member of the senate in later years, your lock into the council is through us now." Siri said and she nodded smiling at the news. "You chose him, I understand, but code got changed, so what's first, before you decide to get me out?" she asked and Siri nodded gently.
"Before I answer that, our Sithmaster is either connected to your former senator or he is the senator." Mace said and she nodded in shock to that news. "Meaning we just been had, this was to get him into the office as the chancellor." Captain Dack Panaka said to that remark as he walked in in time to hear that. "Exactly, but keep your shields up, so he doesn't realize you know." Anakin said and he nodded as they both closed down then.
"Or we didn't till you exposed his lightsaber to us, so he's our phantom menace, and is that the Sith that the boys got into with?" Panaka asked, looking at the illustration on the black book and he nodded to him. "Yeah it is in fact here's where the truth from another planet came into it and history repeats itself if you choose the wrong forks. But my declaration to him just changed the future completely." he said and Padme moved to him.
"And it gets better guys, but before we called you in, the me of 40 years into the future got thrown back into now, that's our future, if I split myself in two." he said and she nodded in shock. "That's our future if we can keep you on our path right now, and you just prevented him from getting to you entirely by throwing it in his face?" Panaka said in shock and he nodded. "Yeah that's my clone and he's the Chancellor's apprentice." he said and they nodded in shock.
"Chancellor, Palpatine is our Sithmaster?" Governor Sio Bibble said and he nodded. "I'm the me of the other time-line, but when I told him that, it's now gone from theoretical to practical, I turned him in already." he said and they nodded. "So who would be responsible for the attacks on me?" she asked and he crossed his arms. "That would Count Dooku of Serenno, at first was considered an idealist, now he's a total traitor." he said and Yoda nodded sternly to him.
"So that's 2, and we supposedly destroyed our Zabrak, anyone else?" Panaka asked and he nodded. "The night brother and sisters are back, one of them is our Zabrak the other is Assaj Ventress." he said to him and he nodded. "So all of this would be..." he asked and Anakin said it. "It's a Jedi trap, by just fighting this war, us Jedi are being destroyed one by one, this weapon was the goal, before he turned on the Separatists." he said, pointing at the Death Star then.
"Let me take a wild guess, but the character involved is the Trade Federation, Gunray?" she asked and he nodded to her. "Gunray, it was after two attacks in one day, we both decided on a leave of absence and on vacation, we fell in love, we were up at your lake estate." he said and she smiled gently. "So meant to be, you and I were meant to be?" she asked and he nodded. "I love you and only you, my angel." he said and she smiled and pressed her forehead to his then.
"That's chapter 2, of their story-line." he said pointing at the second book focused on their lives, and then nodded. "They never made chapter 3, that's make it up as we go along, but we got the first two right now, but BPD: borderline personality disorder, I grew up normal, instead of me changing my ways. You change yours, we clone our youngest initiates, and it's instead of our cubs, everyone lost is really a clone." he said and Mace and Yoda nodded in agreement.
"Wait a blasted moment, if this is the final chapter, and then..., your remark of everyone in both sides knowing and everyone in galaxy knowing here now. In us being married, and no two lives, but one joined together, you're the strongest, most powerful Jedi Knight, borderline master in the order here now. And you never needed to destroy yourself to get what was needed, what would kill me is if I lost you to the darkside." she said and Mace's eyes narrowed at that news.
"I know, and I don't plan to, I have what I need already, Father studied that skill I can go to him for that class, and we win, but I either clone myself now. Or 2) we fake this, and make him think he's won, and then when the final fight hits, we clone you. And after the twins are born and our family goes into hiding, your clone is sent home. In looking like she died in child-birth, but both sides, and our parents know we're both still alive." he said and they all nodded in agreement.
"Agreed." they all said together at that remark. "You're both all that matters to us and your families, we're not losing you to that Sith scum." Mace said to him and he nodded. "Love you too Master." they both said together and he and Yoda smiled gently at that remark. "How Ferus takes that in lying is anyone's guess, but then why would he be irritated. And just who's he to criticize, he's such a hypocrite." he said and Panaka and Bibble nodded gently at that remark.
"And is it any wonder why we lost you, and I mean we lose both of you, with my being Padme's bodyguard in truth, I love her like a daughter." he said to him and he nodded. "I get it, but then I knew all of you all my life, and it's the key point, that love is the key of being free from the darkside, you knew me all my life. And our relationship is something no temple born who is unifying can understand here." he said and the Naboo all nodded as Panaka said it for all of them.
"Then I see why us normals considered the Jedi of right now evil, as you're too set in your ways and Thracia and Damon made a good point here right now." Panaka said and Yoda nodded gently. "Point taken Captain, understand how resentful of the monster, created I did, by not learning from my mistakes sooner, you all are now. And I will not make same mistakes again, have my word, you do now." he said and they all nodded as she changed subjects gently then.
"I would really like to know why you guys never parked outside of my house?" Anakin said and Panaka chuckled at the question. "I never considered that when we arrived, but Qui-Gon ordered me to park outside of the town on the outskirts, before you met us at the time, this way we got an easier time. Then again do that, and your brother meets you sooner then a close call attack that night." he said and Obi-wan nodded in agreement with a smile then gently at that.
"Annie who was my successor, if I became a senator?" Padme asked him and he explained that. "A woman by the name of Jamilia." he said and she nodded. "So she's my queen, and I became a senator, and after two years, you come back into my life, okay, I understand, so what's the intention, before you bring me home?" she asked and he explained that. "I got to drop in on my stepfather, to check and then we come here." he said and she nodded smiling gently.
"Well what happened if we waited too long was the effect to what said cause is now, but you want someone to blame for me changing from the me you know. And into that, it's my rival and his accomplice: Ferus Olin and Tru Veld, but I'm your husband." he said and she nodded to that. "Like everyone else that meets me, you get a good first impression, but I grew up normal, I can relate to you guys." he said and the trio all nodded in agreement as Bibble smiled gently.
"And to us, it's we know you never changed all that much, that even at 19 to 20, the you we know is still firmly in place here." he said and Panaka nodded. "And I'm going to kill those two, do they not realize the dangers of being an out of temple raised padawan, growing up normal, you're the strongest padawan. Now, in history, do they realize they're playing with fire, and we're the ones getting burned by it?" Captain Dack Panaka asked sternly and he shook his head.
"No and we're making an adjustment, so before I bring her home, I'm dropping by my planet and checking on my parents and brother, mom got married now. I'm going to see my stepfather." he said and Panaka nodded. "So I can trust your stepfather and brother, so how long between you choosing to break cover to when she died?" Bibble asked him and he sighed. "She was gone a month, before I went to check." he said and they nodded quickly at that news in shock.
