The Salvation Of The Chosen One

Warnings: This story is going several weeks back to my previous Revenge of the Sith story, taking place directly after he and Obi-wan get back. It's also going to involve having his adult memories, Obi-wan and Yoda's souls shooting back to that day. So this will be insuring Palpatine is never going to win this, as the twins arrive. And they see their parents for real as young adults, insuring their adult memories are strong…

Disclaimers: Starwars doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, the characters and everything else belongs to George Lucas and the movie companies.

Chapter 2: Preparations And Time Travelers

"Brother, our bond, in her words, you knew already, you want to help, well now is the time to do it, relieve that fear, only one cure, before you get 'him' out of me." he said and Mace crossed his arms. "The timer just ended, your remission is over, I have to cut that tumor out of you, before he grows too strong and my remark to baby turns true. He betrayed you and then murdered you, by becoming a cancer." Obi-wan said and Yoda straightened in shock at that news then.

"Brother, in your words, you are my brother, I love you, 13 years together, we both knew when you learned she's pregnant things were going to change." he said and Obi-wan nodded. "I'm not losing you after losing the girls." he said to him gently. "We stop this, we save you, we save her and we save the order, all because we threw aside the code. And change things this months, weeks before her due date now." Mace said and Obi-wan nodded in agreement to his opinion.

"This is what Father keeps talking about, the force chose at random on planets, you had to get to me first, before Sidious does. Whatever you would have asked me to do later, you deserved to know this first." he said and Mace nodded. "I understand Anakin and now that the truth is out, you have gained our trust." he said and Anakin nodded gently. "Like you said, it's very dangerous putting him and me together right now, his hopes, if he's associated with Sidious."

"Or he is Sidious, is I think he maybe lying about said power to save her, though if you have the key already, I have no reason to turn on everything you ever trained me to be." he said and Mace nodded. "To which we do, Qui-Gon learned that skill from the Shalliman of the Whills, it's called force healing, you can save someone by using the force, healing the damage. Speeding up the healing process, by injecting love into the connection." he said and Anakin nodded gently.

"Was this why you wanted to make master, you wanted that script to study?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "Yes Master, only you have authorization to go into the restricted section, as Masters." he said and they nodded. "When your brother's not here, I normally was your commander, so with him heading for whichever planet Grievous is on. I can mentor you, as you split your time in study, looking after her and watching him." he said and Anakin nodded gently.

"So that solves that, I have what I need right now, whatever you ask me to do, I will do so, but with Obi-wan leaving after we get a tip off, I need you to restabilize me." he said and Mace nodded gently. "Balance your color again, yes and I understand, though the girls are gone, I'm still here, like I said, what seems bright in youth, tarnishes in maturity and crumbles with age. A Jedi is allowed no such weakness now, you changed so much, I see you as a young me now."

"But we have 5 Jedi with families of their own and you're a soon to be father now, between that, and these visions, you're under too much stress, now that I relieved that piece to it. You can heal, but you're grounded with you in sabbatical till your children are born." he said and Anakin nodded gently. "Whatever is going on, I think my kids adult selves never understood everything, you know me better then they do, to understand this, just why would I turn exactly here."

"I was intending, if I was still myself and not my alter ego, to gain as much as possible, and then turn him in, but my alter ego swallowed the bait. And then killed everyone here at the temple, before following them up with Dooku and the Separatists." he said and Mace nodded. "So what we told your son is true, from a certain point of view, you would never hurt us or turn on us, your ego knocked you into a coma, and then committed a genocide, here at the temple."

"After killing a retired Jedi, turned Sithlord, after possibly sacrificing me to save this scum's life, he weighed our order against Padme's life and to him, it's no contest. But this is the you we know, our you won out, now that I told you that." he said and Anakin nodded in agreement. "Well this is going to be a long 6 weeks right now, but we may have to induce it, so if Sidious is after my children, if he had his way here, they're your key to freeing me, but Master Yoda."

"Did you ever treat Lana this way, simply because she's from an out of Republic planet?" he asked and he paled at that. "Lana's planetary guides mention some sort of prophecy correct, well what if that prophecy was meant to say, if you don't change your ways right now. This brings a sum number year of darkness to the galaxy, they said that the darkside. Now comes from us, inside us and then stretches to the rest of the galaxy." he said and Obi-wan nodded.

"Masters Jedi, did it ever occur to you that this behavior towards me, the last 13 years, is everything Sidious wanted, you don't trust me, you treat me like an outsider. And simply because I grew up normal, I grew up normal, I grew up a slave, I grew up in the field. How is this any different then the servant that tried to kill the queen of Gala. Just to keep his job at the palace now, knowing the elections were going to cost him his job right now, how, in truth."

"Is this any different, after Obi-wan confronted him now, before he turned him into security?" he asked and they jerked in shock and Obi-wan crossed his arms. "Obi-wan is the only one that truly treated me like an equal, but to you, I'm an outsider, for being a field born?" he asked and they felt their hearts fall, realizing they all made it far to easy for the Sith to get to him. "I see what he's saying, just because we grew up in the temple….., Juno, oh gods not again right now."

"Juno now gave me that same remark, after I busted him for poisoning the queen, because he was desperate to stay at the palace. Her life be damned, he maybe a commoner, sure he's a servant, but he lives in a palace. You're all saying the very same thing, he grew up in the outside world you grew up in the temple, but does this make you better then he is!" Obi-wan said and Mace felt his heart shatter at that remark, realizing their attitudes were the cause.

"Brother you always knew this, I never felt like I belonged here, why is that, I kept to myself, before you told me we had a mission in dealing with Kad and his father again." he asked and Obi-wan nodded. "You're unique, because you grew up normal, that's no reason to treat you like an inferior, simply because we were raised in the temple and you were not. But I see why this attitude almost destroyed us, they made it too easy." he said sternly and Mace swallowed hard.

"It's not anger, it's resentment, it always, I tried to get you to trust me for ten years, and nothing I ever did ever seemed to drop the scrutiny. Simply because my emotions are that of a normal 9 year old, I was angry yes, but it's because of my life as a slave. But tell me, wouldn't you be angry at people treating you like property and not a person. But of you, only 5 have a life outside the temple, married, have families, so…..?" he asked and they swallowed hard at that.

"I know the darkside is a slavery, I know that, but I understand your lesson, on the trio better then anyone, because of mom and the raiders. But that was brushing it, but I am not being forced back into those shackles again, not without a fight. My alter ego is waking up, he's trying to force my wrists back into those shackles, you're only helping him by this attitude." he said and that did it for the 10 in shock as he looked at Yoda sternly as he went further then.

"Well that needed to be said, and I must admit, he has a good point, this distrust is exactly what our Sithmaster wants, you're basically forcing those shackles onto his wrists by this attitude." Ki said sternly as he looked at Anakin gently. "Master, are you one of the 5 that has a family?" he asked and Ki nodded gently. "Indeed I am, but you just unloading everything and we get this on the table, a month prior helps immensely right now." he said and Kit and Shaak Tii nodded then.

"Indeed, this helps severely right now." he said and then said it. "What I was afraid of 11 years ago, was I had no way to understand my color, yes I was afraid. I'm afraid of the evil in my heart and the immense power I carry, and what happens if it falls into the wrong hands. It was after my color revealed two sides of me, blue and red, and that never made sense. Till this happens, I can choose, between being everything you want, or take his offer now in truth."

"That's the catch, our Zabrak is Obi-wan, of the darkside, Sidious is father, Sidious's master could be you, Master Yoda, I can choose between either side." he said and Yoda swallowed hard, realizing he was playing right into the Sith's hands by that. "Whatever he would have offered you, to get you to listen to him, we have it already Anakin. Qui-Gon left his research on it in the archives, we'll give it to you to study until she's due, but I think his plan hinged on this now."

"Everything, his plans hinged on you taking the bait now, but you have it already, so your alter ego trusts him too much to listen to our point of view." Kit said and he nodded. "And that's just my point, you drilled into me the difference between the sides, but if they killed father. Who is the one knowledgable source of that information, till Master Windu revealed you had that intel." he said and he swallowed hard. "Rule 1) never take what they offer." he said and Mace nodded.

"Never take what they offer or you belong to them after that, yes and I just gave it to you, but it goes both ways, the truth Padawan, you revealing you're married and she's pregnant. It was time for it to start anew, before he can get what he wanted now, I trust you, I trust you now." he said and Anakin nodded in relief, feeling the first sense of hope and relief since his vision. "I've tried living a double life, living a lie, and frankly I don't care if both sides know now."

"For 3 long years we kept this hidden, afraid of your reactions, she's been trying to protect me from losing my placement here. But your remark earlier, just cemented why I should have resigned after Darra was murdered. At least then I can use my powers to save mom and her now." he said and Yoda felt his heart fall at that news. 'Oh gods, what have we forced him into now exactly.' Mace thought in shock to that news, realizing that remark was aimed at Yoda then.

"Not you, Masters, brother, but Master Yoda, this particular argument is aimed at him, you know this, I would never turn….." he said and Kit crossed his arms. "Unless there is no other choice to save who you love, but there is, and we have said key already. What happened last night to make you seek our counsel, if you look like you suffered another case of severe guilt?" he asked and Anakin sighed. "Despite disarming Dooku, literally…." he said and Mace and Kit nodded.

"This was no mercy killing, the Chancellor told you to kill him, correct?" Shaak Tii asked and he nodded. "In 13 years, I never heard his voice sound so savage, it sounded like he was ready to execute him for a younger and stronger model. If he was our Sithmaster, the one we been looking for, seems to me this was the double meaning. When you came to see us after Father was murdered by our Zabrak." he said and the original sextet all nodded sternly at the reveal.

"But mom was a total black out, my alter ego lost it completely and slaughtered the entire camp, I never got over the guilt. That's why she had to get my mind off it, take me into a real battle, where she went I had to stay at her side. Which explains why you found us there as well." he said and Mace, Kit and Ki nodded in understanding. "The senator knows everything, and even she thinks that the continued fighting a waste of time." Mace said and he nodded then.

"Waste of time, effort and most of all, it's costing us lives left and right, none more so then us, I think this was the plan, you said we're keepers of the peace, not soldiers. But what if the democracy we been upholding no longer exists right now, we're being manipulated. And by our sworn enemy, not seeing, and till it's too late, he's been standing right in front of us. That what you said Master Yoda, is exactly what he wanted in my case." he said and Mace straightened.

"But let me ask you something, would you have said that to Nejaa, after he too had visions of his wife dying in child birth?" he asked and Yoda went pale at that. "What about Thracia, Damon, Tiana, and Ki?" he asked and he swallowed hard at that, realizing his point of view made him sound like a cold blooded tyrant. "Or is this because I grew up outside the temple, out in the Outer Rim?" he asked and they all flinched, realizing this made them sound like snobs then.

"Just consider if Father left after freeing me, what happens next, I grow up normal, though a out of the temple Jedi, no massacre of Geonosis, no war. If his plans depend on my taking his offer, shouldn't you be looking at why he asked me to be his representative?" he asked and Mace crossed his arms. "Point taken and you're absolutely right at the moment, Thracia actually saying that out loud drove the point home, before Sekot." Mace said sternly and he nodded.

"Brother, I knew I was right, there's more to this then we thought, why, just as I ask for a sabbatical to check on my family, do we get chosen for protection duty?" he asked and Mace crossed his arms. "Why is it at the same time she's dealing with the army creation act the assassinations stall this." Mace said in response. "They're connected, Sidious wanted that, to me to suffer that first brush, we don't do it now, he wins." he said and the sextet nodded sternly.

"Our branch does homicide Master, to catch a Sith or Dark Jedi, we must think like one, the formula, in the conclusion of Obi-wan's return from Melida/Daan. You finding me at the same time we're assigned to Padme, they're one and the same, we've been had, he's possibly 'him'." he said and Mace nodded sternly. "Point taken and I get it, this was all a trap, just as you come back his final stage begins, you're the target, he wants you." he said and Obi-wan straightened.

"Well now I know why this looks so familiar, disruption: this blockade was interfering with us getting to know you, before I decided to be your mentor when the time comes. Demoralization: Darra's murder, followed by your mother caused you to lose your confidence. From what Padme told me at the time, she's worried sick about you, both then and now. So distraction: they distract us by separating us, it's a trap." Obi-wan said and Mace nodded sternly in agreement.

"We're Jedi yes, but we're only human, attachments make us strong, not weak, the only reason I never gave in sooner was because she and Obi-wan gave me the strength to resist. Along with the girls and Ry, you and Damon, Tiana." he said and Mace felt his heart lift at that. "Hot pink near violet shooting star to give the strength to resist, sunrise orange, showing me the light. At the end of the tunnel, purple, resisting the evil in my heart and at the same time, a fighter."

"That's why I never caved sooner, because I had you, and Obi-wan, giving me the strength to go against the odds and do things no other Jedi could have now." he said and the duo nodded in understanding as Ki smiled gently at his remark. "I have only a few weeks left, before Padme goes on maternity leave, she's due in 6 weeks. But I have reason to believe these visions are saying my remission is over, last night was the big one." he said and Mace nodded gently then.

"The timer is ticking, you think your alter ego just woke up completely?" Shaak Tii asked and he nodded to her. "I do Master in fact, this mechanical arm could be seen as a tumor, infecting the rest of my body till my remission ends and I do something I can never take back. It's happening again, only if we don't stop this now, and it's not just the Jedi. But the entire galaxy that pays the price for Master's lack of foresight, it's a trap." he said and the 11 nodded sternly then.

"Yes and I remember the insult she threw at him, he knows nothing of being a human parent for a preteen, borderline teenager. But out of 700 human Jedi, only 5 have families of their own, and one adopted in my case, with my connection to the Skywalker family. You're about to become father, and to both of us, this means we do the cub's training ourselves. A Jedi trio, before I take, if you have twins, girl cub." Obi-wan said and Anakin nodded in agreement then.

"You and the trio, Mace, practically raised me yourself right now, you understand better then anyone, but why did our team last the longest. It's because of what Father taught us, we survived this long, because we used what he and Adi taught you and Siri. Best of the best, we saw passed the code, every time I dragged up said scenario, in annoyance. It's because when you decide to follow the code, you sound like 'him'." he said and Obi-wan crossed his arms.

"From the derision in your voice, you mean Ferus." he said and Anakin nodded sternly. " I do, I caught the perfect padawan not being perfect at all right now, tried to fix Tru's lightsaber. But decided not to report it, Tru put his desire to graduate over the safety of the team. And tries to implicate me in murder to save himself and Ferus from expulsion." he said and they nodded in shocked fury at that news. "I also saw their eyes glow gold." he said and Mace nodded in fury.

"Well the perfect padawan is not being perfect at all, but that's why you were the perfect padawan, because you're not perfect, we just decided to take it slow. Because we're scared to lose you, but that fear made sense after your trauma after we found you on Tatooine. Remember what we said, the darkside is easier, faster and more seductive, it's an addiction. Give into said addiction, and your soul belongs to them after that." he said and Anakin nodded.

"Side effects of training our own race, we become parents or big brothers and sisters, to the next generation, but though you're a young adult. I got the picture of you and me in the sitting room still, when you were still a teenage youngling." Obi-wan added and Anakin nodded smiling gently. "That's what happens when you train your own species, said padawan is your adoptive cub." he said and Mace nodded in agreement to that smiling as he went further gently at that.

"There thank you, that's just my point, it was always two of one kind, and one of the other, Father, to you, to me, to Ahsoka, before she quit, and now to my children. If I have a boy and a girl, and she's like me, living force, she's your new apprentice, I can train my son." he said and Obi-wan nodded, smiling. "I get the feeling if Nejaa's grandson is part of my son's class right now, this means they're the new generation after Sidious is gone." he said and Obi-wan nodded.

"And this drives said point home, after the close call race and assassination attempt that year, but after being trapped. And between preteen and growing up right now, before we sent you on that mission. But that's the punchline, enjoy the years of being a padawan while you the chance to, because soon we won't be around for you to fall back on." Mace said and he nodded. "Point made Master, you and Thracia made your point, but hypocrisy." he said and they both nodded.

"I would call that you're being a hypocrite, you don't say things like that to them, so why are saying that to our newest member, Master Yoda. In whatever was said, and need I remind you, I nearly fell in love with my other best friend, when I was a youngling still. I've been in mourning for years, Qui-Gon lost Tahl, me I lose two women I love here. In addition to my mandate with Satine, so….?" Obi-wan said in agreement and he swallowed hard, realizing he screwed up then.

"Anakin, what was going to be the plan if we never caught this sooner?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "If I know our Sith, once he said that he had the power to save her, my alter ego decides you or her, and he chooses her, after he called treason. Sending my alter ego here to wipe out the Jedi still on the capitol and everyone in the field, including you, is sentenced to death." he said and Mace nodded. "You think Palpatine's 'him'?" he asked and Anakin nodded.

"After what he told me to do last night, I already cut off Dooku's wrists, and he tells me to kill him, so…." he said and Mace nodded. "Point taken, but you tell me, I get into it with him and before he can get to you, I tell you we had the key already to save her. But two tests of strength, after we, Master and I, lost our own fights with him, he's all your's in your prime now." he said and Anakin nodded. "My destiny, I got to cut it close." he said and Mace nodded gently.

"And there's the you we know again, but friend, brother and son, I meant what I said to cub, the best fighter pilot in the galaxy, a cunning and strong warrior, and a good friend. Good friend, code for love like a brother, and that's baby brother with the age gap." Obi-wan said and he smiled and Mace hid a chuckle at the look on his face then. "Yeah and this means you had to disable my alter ego for almost killing me." he said and the council nodded as they got it.

"But learning what I turned into from me rather then you, is going to be too much for baby to handle, that my alter ego never killed me, he replaced me. This is going to be too much for Luke, that's light in Nabooian, if he hears it from me rather then you brother, you knew this. But we're not the same person, the me you know and raised is this me, everything I am. Is this me, Vader killed the Jedi and the separatists, not me." he said and Obi-wan nodded then sternly.

"We always said this, once turned to the darkside, the good inside you is supposedly destroyed, your soul is locked up till free yourself from the darkside. So with that, he betrayed me, by turning on us, and nearly killing you Master Windu, while leading the rampage. And here at the temple, murdered me, not only was I with you, the fight nearly killed me here. Because wherever he sent Gunray, was the reason for how I was injured." he said and Obi-wan nodded.

"Oh great, he, that's your alter ego, is going after Gunray, after the assassination attempts he tried on Padme, I see the level of carnage at where they are. And I know this was never you, Vader committed 3 atrocities 2 weeks apart in each, and just as I get there now. I see your eyes glowing gold and then realize he's addicted to the power lust here. As Padme and I try to talk some sense into him, he's not you, this is the you we know, so with that in mind right now."

"I see where this is going, so betray you, your alter ego went against everything you believed in, everything we trained you to be, nearly murder you. As those injuries were not my lightsaber, he took off what's left of the limbs by killing the separatists. And Dooku, and those injuries we claimed were the cause of his blood lust, the you we know would do what I normally do. And use your telekinesis, but he crossed the line, you confronted him, me with you and it's a fight."

"To the death after he nearly kills you and your entire family, I took off the limbs he took off you, and leave him for dead, take you to Bail's medical department. We grow back your limbs and we stay hidden, training the twins in secret till the time is right. So that what we're telling the twins when they're old enough, brother?" Obi-wan asked him and he nodded. "Yeah exactly, but the prophecy stated only two, or 3, that's us and Master Yoda, him, our Sithmaster now."

"And whoever my alter ego trains as his own apprentice, but 3 on 3, we wiped them out, now it's their turn and finally, we were in a peace period for 1,000 years, time of strife. The Clone Wars and the Sith/Rebel Wars puts the force back into balance here., he wanted the Sith. In versions to that prophecy, we're going with the Jedi one, sedation of everyone in the temple. If I'm his target, I'm telling all your troops, maximum stun." he said and the quintet nodded then.

"To destroy the Sith you got to skim it close or clone yourself, your alter ego is his apprentice, you're a Jedi, and the story we told the twins becomes true now." Shaak Tii said and he nodded. "Exactly, that's the meaning exactly, I either clone myself, or become one, but the chosen one, chosen to be the first ever of Jedi dynasty, by this." he said and she smiled. "Your position is your throne now, and when time to retire, you pass it to cub." she said and he nodded gently.

"I'm Mace's next in command, so he's Master's, I'm his, when time for retirement, Master passes leadership to Mace, when it's your age group's time, he passes it to me. But there's the meaning of chosen one, I'm destined to create the first ever Jedi dynasty. And the first ever to go to, come back and live to tell about it." he said and Mace and Obi-wan nodded. "The republic is dying, about to create a dictatorship, we let him become the most hated man in the galaxy."

"With my clone the next, until the time is right, we go undercover and stay hidden, so we wait till my kids are my age of 19. And then start advanced training, it's my destiny to bring balance and my unborn children's to return us back to peace, by stopping him. When he is too old to fight back anymore, we'll return, we just get him beyond arrogant. But the Loyalist committee is preparing to rebel against him, that's what I spoke to Bail about." he said Mace nodded gently.

"But what the guides told Father and mother and the prophecy must be one and the same, whatever the separatists are building must be said planet sized weapon." he said and Mace nodded in shock. "Self fulfilling prophecy from here on out, the army in white, the clones." Mace said and he nodded in shock to that. "Oh gods, an army of one man, said is a bounty hunter, the character in black, carrying a red…, my alter ego, it starts the day my remission is over!"

"I think I know what the prophecy stated, but every piece mentioned is self-fulfilling prophecy, so the army in white. It's our troops become his army, lead by a black cloaked figured with a red lightsaber, my alter ego. A man with disfigured face, it's Palpatine himself after you deflected his force lightning back at him. And said group of freedom fighters are the loyalist committee, being lead by my kids and her husband and friends." he said and he nodded sternly to the news then.

"Qui' and Adi mentioned what the Keganites told them, and now that you say that, that confirms it, so the prophecy can go two ways: you cloning yourself. And what we tell the kids what happened after you gained that scar across your eye right now. Or 2: you turn and return as quickly as you turn here right now, but he's not getting his hands on you." he said and Anakin nodded sternly. "Like you'd tell me tonight, it's dangerous." Obi-wan said and Mace nodded.

"And to say it again, it's very dangerous putting him together with Anakin, I'm scared he's going to get to him, I don't trust Palpatine around him." he said and Anakin nodded gently. "I get why Master, after you been scared out of your mind of the last reaction 3 years ago. And after you felt the power blast." he said and Mace nodded gently. "Issues with the punchline, at least instead of raising the twins on my own in training, they have you teaching them as well now."

"Siri and I, if things had been different, would be together, she and I are the possibly the twins godparents, and Padme knows I love her like a baby sister. We give him what he needs to study this and nothing changes, lines like that could lead to our self destruction right now. He is my brother, if what you're about to say is what I'm thinking, if he had taken Sidious's offer. I won't do it, but taking him alive, to lock up the bloody bastard." he said sternly and Mace nodded.

"Agreed, to save him, we have to remove what started said cancer and then lock up his alter ego, but these Sith are a wild animal in the human Sith. If Sidious killed the only source of that legend, not realizing Qui-Gon also knew and had what was needed. And in order to save Anakin, his deck of sabbac cards just came down, undoing everything he was planning. As Anakin stays himself, he's split in two, as his alter ego is running around in the flesh finally here right now."

"But are you deliberately making it too blasted easy for our Sith to get to him, we are selfless we only care about others, the Sith are power hungry. They only care about themselves, we drove that into his head for 13 years, if he needed a way to stem off what's coming. We give it to him directly, before Sidious, possibly through the Chancellor, gives him said legend?" Mace said sternly and he went white, not realizing what he said was what Sidious wanted him to do.

"I think that's why Sidious sentenced Qui-Gon to death, killing the only other source of said legend." Obi-wan said and he nodded in agreement. "And then trick him into killing the entire order, so that by the time you get back, it's already too late. We been wiped out, and you're left trying to salvage this by putting the blame on Anakin. We said this a few hundred times, that you never change all at once, it takes hundreds of traumas before the final crash here now."

"But this, you realize your words could be seen as you don't care about us at all right now Master, all you care about is your interpretation of the code. We should have changed it 13 years ago, and planned this out, before we reached this point, he's under enough stress as it is." Shaak Tii said sternly and he swallowed hard. "Not going to happen, we are not letting him get his hands on Anakin now, period." Kit said sternly and Mace nodded in agreement then sternly.

"Master with all due respect, have you lost your mind, you might as well be saying if she dies then good riddance." he said and he went pale as a ghost. "Qui-Gon always knew what was best, but he never allowed your arrogance to redirect him. Even my forbidding it never stopped him from trying to save Tahl, before we lost her, before losing him next. But Qui' had the right idea, you want a repeater of Qui-Gon after the Apsolons killed Tahl, because you don't change."

"And now, you condemned us to death by not giving him that key now and he sells his soul to get that intel" Mace asked sternly and he swallowed. "You basically nearly pulled the trigger for the thermal detonator, by saying that, but who are the free planets of the republic going to blame. If he became the apprentice of the currently strongest Sith we have in our galaxy, because you never stopped this when you had the chance." Shaak Tii said sternly to him then.

"Talk about repeaters, Obi-wan threw his anger and pain at losing Cerasi, or nearly losing her into the fight with Bruck till that pain was drained. Father nearly crossed the line himself, because of Master Dantallion, and I had a double whammy and I did. But why is my team the best in the order, it's because we follow our hearts, the force. Not the code and of us, only my team lasted the longest, Darra is gone and the Tachi/Gallia team are extinct here right now."

"Along with our partner pair up." Anakin said and Shaak Tii nodded sternly. "He's got you there Master, and the only bright spot in this war seems to be the very thing. That is giving him the light out of the tunnel and the strength to resist Palpatine manipulations. Take away that bright spot, we're plunged into a never ending dark period, so whatever the senator. Now names the heir of the throne gave a new beacon of light to shine his way." she said and Anakin nodded.

"I see why father never wanted to be on the council, but the code is just guidelines, rules, you can bend the rules and still be a perfect Jedi, case is point is Obi-wan and me. His way of the code made us who we are, he said we'd be great Jedi, if we stopped looking to the future. But focus on the present, currently this situation you nearly put us in, was one of your own making. They changed and evolved, we don't change now we're done." he said and they nodded sternly.

"As for Jabitha and I named my ship after her, her father was killed by the alien species that came to Sekot, but that mission laid Thracia and Mace's punchline perfectly." he said and Mace nodded sternly. "Point taken and he's right, you weren't around for his emotional breakdown after he had to kill in self defense, the Carver. It took me 20 minutes to get through to him now, because he nearly broke his wrist." Mace said sternly and he flinched at the reminder then.

"I maybe a Jedi, but I'm only human as well, like he is, he's my star pupil, but he's like Siri, Adi and me, carries the red in his soul, and yet a guardian. I see why he had to remind me of that, but that 2 lives catch almost destroyed him. And what if his children were our one chance to free him, after he took Sidious's offer, what then. With Padme dead now, he spent 23 years alone, because we never forestalled this when we had the chance?" Mace said and he paled at that.

"Qui-Gon is gone, leaving only me, Nejaa, and Damon as his only father figures in the Jedi, while Obi-wan is the big brother/father, like Garen is." he said and Yoda nodded. "He nearly got what he wanted, if I never decided to reveal this to you, you knew already, right?" he asked and the council nodded. "We did and we were waiting for you to say it to confirm it, but now that you did, you gained our trust." Mace said and Anakin nodded as he answered him gently at that.

"You recall my premonitions after Yaddle was killed, I chose to ignore them, but some reason, they started again, directly after Ansion?" Anakin asked and Obi-wan leaned forward, feeling his heart fill with dread at that. "You considered the reason that though acting normal, I was still in mourning of Darra, our normal team partner was the Attana/Thanis unit. But I lost my version of Siri and this had me depressed, because I grew too used to Darra and Soara at my side now."

"Barris was good I know, I just missed Darra so much that I was still in mourning, that explains my short temper with you, brother. I lost a friend, we don't check back who's next, and then you get the answer to that question: mom. As the pain shoots through me, into the three of you and you get the comm you never expected to hear, Father." he said and Mace crossed his arms at the news. "And now furious I am, going to pay, someone will." Yoda said sternly at the news.

"I know you preferred being with the girls it was safer that way, to prevent fights at the time here, you and Darra, was your friend Amee, Darra's counterpart?" Shaak Tii asked and he nodded. "She and I were close to it, but Darra's my version of the girls: Master Dantallion and Siri, but while one relationship was falling, another was deepening. That's the reason for the short tempered attitude, reminding you of our mission, before I could leave for Naboo now."

"We had to stop by the farm, if we had, I'd be able to focus." he said and Yoda nodded. "To focus and ease the sting of that memory, you deserved a few weeks off, but a double shift. That just destroyed your progress, because we never checked back on it, and it kills your mother. And now it's happening again, is that what you're telling me?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "Not making the same mistakes twice we are, but doing it now we are, but there it is now, Padawan."

"Key that was to bring it to full conclusion, being honest with us now, all this time, every time leave you do to be alone, her with, you always are." Yoda said and he nodded. "I see no reason to expel you, like you, Nejaa, Thracia, Damon, Tiana and I have families of our own. And with that, you been exercising both, but that concluded it now, you are ready. But though on the Council, you will receive training as a master." Ki added and he nodded as he hid a sigh of relief.

"At least you never learned this, before the moment of truth and instead a month prior." he said and they nodded in agreement. "As you know Padme is a senator, her network is preparing for outright rebellion against him." he told him and they nodded. "Then we combine together, with her committee, if he is our Sith, and if your alter ego was the target, we must spilt you in two. To save you, but we had the key already, so you're protected now." Shaak Tii said gently to him.

"Lost too much over this war already, I'm not losing you too now, all that's left of my quartet are Obi-wan, Tiana and Damon, I'm the only one left, in cubs still." he said and she nodded as her eyes gentled. "I see why you never mentioned Tru Veld, he stabbed you in the heart, after Darra was killed and tried to put the blame on you, correct?" Kit asked and he nodded. "Yes Master, but I saw his eyes glow gold, Korriban and the greed got to him." he told him and they nodded.

"It was not me, but he claimed here that to make Ferus look bad I was willing to let him take the fall, how can I do anything when trapped in a shield trap. You also gave me orders, I am a padawan, my orders were to stay with Obi-wan at the time. But my relationship with you, with their mentors and with Obi-wan was the punchline, underneath the humility now here. Said is crazed jealousy, they did it on purpose, if they let it go, Darra would still be alive right now."

"But they haven't trusted me, since Zan Arbor and my own capture after I unloaded everything to Obi-wan, but said experiment was just another way to handle my grief. And till I could cope, but a double whammy in 8 months, that is too much, but Darra was the cause. Mom was the effect and you felt the power blast as a result of my black out, but Padme. She brought me along to prevent it twice and the battlefield was the result." he said and Mace nodded gently.

"Indeed we had felt that blast, your pain and anger shot into us and we knew something was very wrong if we found you on Tatooine." Ki said and Anakin nodded. "Well you got the reason, their decision not to tell you, basically killed those raiders, mom. And who knows how many other people right now, but I'm not going through that again, once is enough. But that explains my charging ahead, I didn't want you to see that, brother." he said and Obi-wan nodded then.

"And as you said, your past can foreshadow your future, be careful here." he added and Yoda nodded in agreement. "Indeed right now, but understand better then Andy does you do, especially after explaining that remark to Ahsoka you did now." he said and Anakin nodded. "I'm getting way too old for these debates, but Andy was flirting with her, borderline seduction. But she feels safer around me, after I gave him a warning look, as for the duo in truth now."

"I'm sorry, but that's the entire rant, he's overly critical, he never listens, he just does not understand, it was all his fault, he's been jealous ever since the games. He was holding it back, said back, the lightsaber needing further work done on it right now." he said and the council nodded. "The he being Ferus, every time your alter ego sees me, you see him in my place, and he's also a Soresu?" Obi-wan said to clarify and he nodded and they both nodded sternly then.

"But unknowingly or not, these two basically just helped my downward spiral along, until last night, Palpatine forced me to kill a helpless victim, after coming to. Out of my version of Vaapad, and I told him, I couldn't, I wouldn't and he forced my hand." he said and they all nodded gently. "Holding this in ever since Shmi's loss, have you?" Yoda said and he nodded to him. "I have Master, I just can't help but think, if not for Darra…" he said and they nodded then sternly.

"You wouldn't be this close to taking what Sidious has to offer, but too late, we gave it to you already, you're still in mourning. But first Qui-Gon than Yaddle, Darra, Shmi and all your real friends in your clan, the girls and Ry." Obi-wan said and he nodded and Obi-wan nodded gently to him then. "Tiana, can you grab Damon and Tru and come to the council chambers, we wish to run a re-trial, and bring Winna and Minga with you." Mace said as he pressed the call button.

As they waited and then the door opened and his ex team mate came in with his former master and her counterpart. "You wanted to see us Mace?" Jedi Master Damon Calrissian asked and he crossed his arms. "What you do to your hair?!" his counterpart said in shock and he crossed his arms. "I withdrew my promotion to being a knight, and took my place back at Obi-wan's side, like you said, I'm with Obi-wan, then I'm with the council." he said and he started shaking then.

"Why would you do that, we're Jedi knights now!" he said shaking, realizing the other boy wanted to be a padawan again. "War's coming to an end Tru, so why not return to padawan, you are still her padawan with Ry' gone." he said and he flinched at that. "Just like you're Qui-Gon's cub padawan though gone, you still have your brother here. But the loyalty and wanting to return, we, your parentals, have never been more relieved you want to be taken back by us."

"There's the loyalty we look for, your commitment to our partnership." she said and he smiled at her. "And with that, does Ry mean nothing to you?" he asked the boy and he jerked at that remark. "Hmm, was Ry' just a means to an end in graduation, graduating early, but from Dooku's age group, to Father to Obi-wan always the same pattern together. And for 13 to 15 years from the time they were teenage youngling, well I'm keeping that tradition right now, Tru."

"But yes, that's the meaning to Master's repeated remark, the deepest commitment, the most serious mind, to translate is you must have the deepest commitment, to your team. You must be 100% serious to that commitment, it was never about the Jedi, but your commitment to your team, you break that trust, it shatters." he said and Mace slammed his hand on his chair with a proud smile. "Exactly, that's it exactly." he said and Yoda smiled in pride at his translating then.

"Qui-Gon, if still alive he was, very proud of you, he would be, Anakin, proved the point you have of what I keep saying, but as said I did also, make a choice. And make it for the others standing silent at your shoulder, what say am I, to you?" he asked and the other boy froze up in fear then, realizing what he did just left them considering if he and his counterpart did that. Who wasn't to say that the rest of their clan would do the same and Anakin crossed his arms then.

"You make a choice and you make that same choice for the rest of your clan, who are not saying anything and way to go Tru, you just left them considering the fact. That if you and Ferus did that, who won't say Lana and I will be next, before our clan was killed in combat." he said and he swallowed hard. "Well no, I didn't and I won't, my loyalty is beyond question, and they know that, but I never lied to them before, I am not starting now." he said and they all nodded then.

"And with that, being a Jedi knight is lonely without someone, either age group to talk to, I see why you chose team ups, it gives us padawans someone our age to hang with. While the mentors are discussing business." he said and Mace nodded smiling gently. "That's why after your brother slipped up, we gave him your sister to partner up with as just that. Youngling, the shortened version to that is Young, the Melida/Daan revolution." he said and Anakin nodded.

"Yes, but Master, I wish to return to your side, if that's alright, be our team for another 4 to 5 years, as I join you on the council when the twins are 10." he said and Obi-wan smiled gently at that remark. "That's fine Anakin, I am just fine with that, though supposedly a knight, you still use that title with me, only now it returns to Master/padawan once again." he said and Anakin smiled at him, as Mace saw them 7 years prior when he was still a teenage youngling then.

"Indeed that's just fine, we never been more proud of you." he said and Anakin smiled gently as he answered him. "And now you know I definitely been listening to you, all of you, guys way too much lately." he said and the council nodded. "While Andy is depending on Palpatine's guidance, yes indeed, you're our star pupil, Andy is playing with the darkside way too much. Just wait till he gets addicted to the power lust next." Ki said sternly and Mace nodded in agreement then.

"Well here's a question, what's considered still a youngling age with teenagers?" he asked and Mace chuckled. "Borderline 17 actually, so to us the twins are still younglings by the time they're 15, but the time is fast approaching. And when they're ready to leave their safety zone and begin their destiny, we been training Light and Courage for 19 years and baby twins are 7 now." he said and Anakin nodded smiling then. "I got to tell Ruwee." he said and they nodded smiling.

"Agreed, Cliegg and Ruwee deserve to know this, so when you go to Owen, he gets a chance to watch Light grow up, knowing you're still okay, and a skilled Jedi master." Shaak Tii said gently and he nodded. "Your mother would be very proud of you though, you became everything we wanted you to become now." Mace said and he nodded gently. "Andy's the power blast you felt Master, before you found us on Geonosis next." he said and Mace nodded as he looked at Tru.

"To answer that is Andy is my twin brother, the one you were wary of." he said and he swallowed hard. "I take it, he's the one that got in trouble for the pit racing, you were at the junk pile gathering more equipment to restock the electronics lab?" the healer asked bemused and he nodded. "While you told me he went the pits and Obi-wan and I met up on the incline, as I fixed his wings and got him out of the pits, Andy's the younger of the two of us, but he's Bruck."

"I'm Obi-wan, gaining my lightsaber that year." he said and the group nodded smiling gently. "Like you know I do everything, I just added another one, force healing, minor medic." he said and the healer and her apprentice nodded smiling. "So what's the plan for the twins exactly, son?" Mace asked and he explained that. "Normal training up 12 years old, we separate till they're 19, and they go off training mode, at 19, once Bail brings us out of retirement now."

"While my youngest, if they're 12, by the time we stop him, for good, are stuck on training mode, as we all know, all fun and games till it goes off training and right to real." he said and they nodded in agreement. "With you starting at 10 years old, that makes sense, they got the training you lost for the first 9 years, but growing up Jedi is a lot easier. Then activating at a moment's notice." Shaak Tii said and Mace and Yoda nodded in agreement to her opinion.

"Yeah that's an understatement, but their practice lightsabers are full power, till they're ready, as they gain said maturity and Light knows he's ready, as he had my back up. As his new starter lightsaber, as he passes his practice lightsaber to his cub counterpart." he said and Yoda nodded smiling gently. "While at 16 years old if we stop the Nightbrothers and sisters, we're eliminating our darkside counterparts, once rid of Sidious, for good now." Mace said in agreement, smiling.

"I'm married Tru and I'm an expecting father, but their mother doesn't mind this at all, that the twins are like me, but she's a NFS." he said and he swallowed hard at that. "Nice terming, short for non force sensitive." Damon read out and he nodded. "Yeah 7 years separation is not a big deal here, as Light learns his padawan training from me and Obi-wan. As we're together with the alliance and traveling with the fleet, so back to fighter pilot." he said and Yoda nodded, smiling.

"We got to get the baby twins, if our youngest were born by the time you were separated now, to safety now, but depending if twins now runs in your family. Then we got two with your version and a third with Courage's now." Kit said and he nodded in agreement then. "Bad side effect with the added midichlorine count, if Truth is suddenly thinking he knows everything. And is lording it over his younger brother, when his uncle, Darian's son, his sister's boyfriend and I."

"Are the ones that brushed it, did damage, the strain nearly killed us and we came back as fast as we collapsed." he said and Mace nodded. "And do you really knows the dangers, or are you just showing off, need I remind you, your father has been fighting the darkside. And since he was 29 years old." he said sternly and Yoda nodded in agreement. "Watch it with the stockholm syndrome though, that's a dangerous thing, but these children don't get our training now."

"Was suddenly more then this child was accustomed to." Anakin said sternly and they and Obi-wan nodded. "No kidding and like Qui-Gon, training to be a Jedi is not an easy task, it's a challenge and even if you succeed. Well this is a hard life, before we fixed that problem and suddenly we're about to go Grey Jedi. But really, going off the code resulted in our destruction, time to be back to the code." he said and Mace nodded in agreement as Anakin looked at Tru.
