Chapter 2
Ben watched as the city of Bellwood began to look more and more like a small lego city as Plumber ship flew up and out of Earth's atmosphere.
"Grandpa, what's going on? Where are we going?" Asked Ben.
"We're going to Galvin prime," replied Max from the pilot's seat.
"Why?"
"You have a new mission."
"Why is this one so important?"
"The fate of the universe hangs in the balance."
"Doesn't it always?"
"Not as much as this does."
"Okay so what do I have to do?"
"I'm not entirely sure I'm the right one to tell you. Azmuth will have the answers."
Ben tensed slightly. He never saw Azmuth when things were just fine. He always encountered him under the worst of circumstances. The first time he ever met him, his first Omnitrix was about to explode and destroy the entire universe.
"Grandpa. Whats a Jedi? And who is Obi-Wan Kenobi?"
Max paused Ben could tell he was thinking about his answer.
"In this universe there are multiple planets and galaxies. However, ours is not the only ones with intelligent life. And others galaxies have their own conflicts."
"Yeah, tell me about it."
"The Jedi were peacekeepers. Much like the Plumbers. However, unlike the Plumbers who rely on technology, the Jedi relied on something very different. The Force."
Ben looked at his Grandfather in confusion. These Jedi folk sounded crazy.
"What's The Force?"
"The Force was the basis of the Jedi religion. It binds the universe and all living things."
"So what happened to the Jedi."
Max sighed.
"A long time ago, the Jedi numbered in their thousands. They were the protectors of the Galactic Republic in the galaxy they came from. They were peaceful and kind. However, war can destroy even the kindest and most peaceful of people."
"War?"
"Yes, the Clone War. The Republic was faced with a new military power that believed their government was corrupt. While the Jedi were peaceful people that believed in kindness and serenity, their opposite, the Sith believed in darkness and evil. The Jedi had been at war with the Sith for thousands of years. With the onset of the Clone War came the return of the Sith. The Republic was peaceful and while the Separatists they now faced were evil they were right about one thing. The Republic was corrupt. When both the Republic and the Separatists were weak enough, their corrupt leader destroyed the Jedi, the Republic and the Separatists and founded the evil Galactic Empire."
"So what's this got to do with me?"
"I'm not entirely sure Ben. Azmuth will have the answers."
Ben thought for a moment. This was an interesting tale but what could it possibly have to do with him.
"Who was Obi-Wan Kenobi?"
"The message you saw was from a very long time ago. Master Kenobi was one of the wisests and powerful Jedi of his time. It was said that he was the one who trained the Chosen One."
"The Chosen One?"
"Yes, it was said that he would be the one to bring balance to the force. Although I'm not entirely sure what happened to him. Still, I do know through all the adversities the Jedi faced, they still survived."
"How do you know?"
"Because the Plumbers were started by Jedi."
