HUGE SHOUT OUT TO PHANTOM1s FOR HIS WORK AS A BETA, GREAT JOB!!
It's had been six months since Luke joined Harry and Yoda on Camelot and a very busy six months it had been. The first thing that Harry did was find a place for Camelot to stay that would stay out of the way of the Empire's detection capability but to be close enough for him to still monitor what was going on in the galaxy. He chose a spot where he could still experiment if he wanted to and keep in contact with his spynet as well: The Galactic Void. The void was the space between different galaxies.
For most ships, regardless of the dimension, breeching the barrier between the outer edge of a galaxy and the void, which was called the galactic barrier, was difficult because of the gravitational pull of the galaxy you are trying escape. This barrier prevented this dimension's hyperspace technology from penetrating the barrier. Also, because there is very little gravity in the void, many ships have no way to propel themselves because they need to 'push' or 'pull' against gravity of some kind in order to move.
Reentry from the void was dangerous as well because the barrier caught all of the gravitational eddies, space dust, and matter that the galaxy expelled from when it was created. Over time, these particles and matter would form new stars and planets as gravitational forces pulled the matter back the edge of the bubble held them contained.
Of course for a ship like Camelot, which could travel thru dimensions and was made to travel between different galaxies, traveling thru the barrier was simple and the trip went smoothly enough.
Taking a position just outside the galactic barrier, Harry realized how lucky he was to have decided to come here. Harry found a small debris field filled with asteroids and other debris roughly the size of small and medium size moons. Luke said some of the smaller sized asteroids were larger than the Death Star, which he had destroyed a few years before. This debris field contained resources not found within the galaxy, mainly naquada and neutronium.
After doing more intense scans of the debris field, Harry realized that there must have been a really old and advanced race at one time either in this galaxy or one of the other galaxies which was relatively close that had mined and used these materials at one point in time. Thanks to his scans, Harry saw that there was enough material here last for decades, if not centuries. Knowing this, Harry, when he wasn't working on his Jedi training, began work on preparing this debris field to be mined and also to serve a base of operations for him in this dimension. Though he never officially setup anything with Babylon 5, he knew that Sheridan and Delenn would be ecstatic to have him return and stay around the station.
With the decision made, Harry started his preparations for a long term mining and base of operations. He started construction on ten mining stations that would begin the mining operation. He just made one change to the standard mining bots he used when mining for the Narn, which was to add some sublight engines to them so once they finish with mining one asteroid they could move to the next automatically. The mining units would also be able to travel to a space station that Harry decided to build so that they could offload their materials in one central location that could also begin to process the ore and store it.
Since he was planning for the long term usage of this area, Harry decided to build a spherical perimeter of defensive satellite platforms that would encompass the area of the debris field. These platforms were that same models that, according to the data files, were used to defend Atlantis from an enemy called the Wraith. However he changed the power source to a quantum singularity power core instead of using the original power supply and diverted some of that power to a shield that would protect the satellites from attack and debris. The quantum singularity power cores could, in theory, never run out of power as long as the core was properly maintained. Harry also expanded his cloaked spynet to include his base of operations and mining operations. However for this area, he switched the scanning capabilities of the satellites from passive power to full power. He didn't want any surprises out there.
He then designed the space station that would be the hub of the staging area. It would have two construction slipways on the exterior, with a fully functional replicator ready for to produce whatever was needed, including constructors. The station itself would have everything needed to support up to fifty people comfortably. It would have an Alterran database that would have certain information accessible depending on the person using it. It would also have access to the entire spynet. Harry created an A.I. avatar for the station; this one was in the shape of one of his ancestors, Lord Godric of Gryffindor.
Lord Gryffindor's orders were be to maintain the mining operations, since odds were that no one would be there most of time, to protect itself, the mining operation, and the station at all cost, and to pass on any valuable information to Harry as it came up no matter where he was. To do this, the base would also have access to a TDS. The TDS would be placed outside the station in a stationary orbit one thousand meters off the station and cloaked.
The last thing Harry decided on was to use a ZPM and a quantum singularity in a new power matrix that utilized both power sources in the most efficient way possible. The benefit to this new power distribution matrix was that if either the ZPM or the singularity ever failed, the other could keep powering whatever was needed. He also decided to use the ZPM and quantum singularity as a self-destruct sequence to be used as the last failsafe for all of his technology. Since it was in the galactic void, the massive detonation would definitely destroy his technology but wouldn't harm any innocents.
With all the planning over, Harry put the full resources of Camelot into this project.
With his construction plans ready and resources about to be gathered, Harry could concentrate on his training. And train he did, sometimes with Luke and sometimes alone. While Luke was better with a lightsaber in the beginning, Harry was better at force manipulation. But that wasn't to say Harry lost lightsaber duels all the time. While he might be sloppy at times and didn't have Luke's technique, he did have the advantage of speed and the ability to quickly think on his feet thanks to years of avoiding Dudley and Death Eaters.
FLASHBACK
Harry had to duck as Luke swung his lightsaber at where his neck used to be. As Harry was coming back up he got a kick to the chest for his efforts. Flying backwards he landed on his backside but managed to hold onto his lightsaber. Using the distance that is between them to his advantage, Harry quickly got back on his feet and got in a ready position, holding his saber in a classic first form stance. Shii-Cho was the only form Harry knew so far and he was quickly learning others.
Luke started circling so Harry followed suit all the while looking at his environment looking for anything that may help him come out of this duel the victor. Noticing a random wooden chair in the corner, Harry continued to circle until Luke was in front of the chair and used his mind, no hand gestures, to fling the chair at Luke's back at high speed. Luke must have sensed it coming but was to slow to turn fully to face it and instead the chair smashed into his right side, knocking him to the ground.
Dashing towards his fallen opponent, Harry reached him and was ready to bring his saber in for the final blow when his legs got swept out from under him. Hitting his back against the ground again Harry started to lose control on his power, more and more energy started to flow through his body. Harry jumped to his feet, he noticed that time seemed to slow down a bit. He attacked Luke with the limited lightsaber technique that he knew and actually pushed Luke back a bit. If he would be more experienced and knew more forms or other moves than just standard attack, parry, and body zones to attack he might have won the duel then and there.
Unfortunately, Luke was able to parry or dodge all of his blows and even knock the saber out of Harry's hands using a spinning back kick to his wrists. Harry decided to do something he had never tried before and shouted the first spell that came to him. He held out his hand palm facing Luke and screamed, "Aguamenti!!"
A thick stream of water shot at Luke with incredible strength, speed, and accuracy and hit Luke right in the face, which made him do a double back flip and land on his stomach. The stream of water even managed to deactivate Luke's lightsaber. Harry planned to remember that nifty little flaw in lightsaber design for later use.
Quickly summoning his own saber to him he carefully walked over to Luke and found out he was knocked out cold. The hit to the face with the water must have been more powerful than he thought. From the corner of the room he heard his master talk.
"Natural fighter you are. Unconventional tactics, you use well. Work harder on lightsaber technique we must. Practice you need, badly."
With that Yoda left the room and if he didn't know any better he could have sworn he heard Yoda laughing.
END FLASHBACK
Harry looked back at that duel with fondness. Since then Harry had decided that when training with Luke, he would not use any spells. Instead he would use the magical equivalent of the Force. Using magic wasn't fair and Harry could win really quickly regardless of what Luke did because he didn't know anything advanced enough to block magic and his senses weren't strong enough yet to sense it.
In the future Harry would be able to use magic in duels again but not yet. Plus he just wanted to concentrate on his lightsaber technique. Once he started learning to use the lightsaber he began to pick it up quicker and quicker, the forms anyway. The use of said forms in a battle was different, but it was still quick. While he was still ahead of Luke in force manipulation and senses, they were now even with Harry pulling ahead in lightsaber combat, though Luke still beat Harry about fifty percent of the time.
The one problem that was beginning to develop in the Jedi training was the lack of being able to sense the Force outside of Camelot. While the early stages of Harry and Luke's training did not require them to be able to sense the Force outside of the city, they were now approaching the time when they needed to be able to sense it. The computer on Camelot was working in the problem, but did not have an answer yet.
It was just a day after the seven month anniversary of Luke's arrival on Camelot that Camelot discovered a way to allow people within the city to sense beyond the shield while those outside couldn't sense inside. Looking back on it, it was a truly an interesting discovery that came across by pure accident. The computer noticed that the midichlorians, the nanite like organisms in all living beings in this dimension that in high enough concentrations produced force sensitive persons, were actually transmitting a signal on a super low level frequency. This was what allowed a force sensitive person to 'commune' with the Force. The computer only discovered this information because of the in depth scan it had done in order to find a way to heal Yoda. What took the computer so long in discovering how to modify the shields was finding a way to allow those transmissions out but not in the shields. Once Camelot discovered what to do, Harry was alerted and told the computer to make the adjustments that would allow Yoda, Luke, and Harry to sense anything outside Camelot.
An hour after the shield modifications was complete, Luke rushed to tell Master Yoda and Harry of the vision he just had. After contacting them both through the force and telling them to meet him in the meditation room, everyone rushed to hear what Luke had to say.
"Master Yoda, Harry, I have just had a vision of my friends in trouble. They were in a city in the clouds. I must go to them and help them!"
"Ready you are not. To go I can not allow."
"But I must go, who else can help them. I promise to return and finish my training after I know that they are safe. I'm sorry but I have to do this."
All through this Harry was thinking about how similar this was when he rushed to save his godfather and how that turned out. He didn't want to share but he felt he had to before a person he considered his friend possibly made the same mistake.
"Luke before you go let me tell you a story." Harry told them both about him getting a vision, believed it was true, and led his friends into danger. In the end though, he wound up losing who he sought to help. "So you see I know exactly how you feel but you just can't rush into situations like this. Come, let us look into this and see exactly what's happening."
The three of them left the Jedi Spire and he led them to the same observation room that he took John Sheridan to months before. He made the walls transparent to give him a perfectly clear black-drop and mentally brought up a map of the galaxy.
"Where did you say your friends were in trouble at?"
"Cloud City. I think it is around Bespin."
"Ok, here we go." Harry brought up a holographic image of the planet Bespin and of the floating city that mined the gas contained within the planet's atmosphere. Yoda and Luke were surprised about the technological capabilities that Harry had at his command since he never outwardly shared all he had done and planned to do. "Now let's see, I'm going to do a scan of the city and see what I can come up with." Harry did his scan and saw that Luke was correct. His friends were in trouble. In orbit around Cloud City was the Death Squadron, Darth Vader's personal fleet of 10 imperial Star Destroyers charged with finding and destroying the Rebel Alliance led by his personal flagship, the Superstar Destroyer Executor. Yoda, Luke and Harry saw that his friends were captured and were to be used as bait to lure Luke there for one reason alone: Darth Vader was there. He was ordered to capture Luke and bring him before the Emperor.
"From these readings you can see that going there will not help them and just like with me, it is a trap to lure you there. Do you think that you could beat all of the Storm Troopers there and defeat Vader plus the Death Squadron? You are strong but not that strong."
"Correct Harry is. Ready you are not. Stay and tell you I will why interested in you Vader is."
"But I must help them. You can see the danger they are in!!" Luke started to ramble on as though he was having a breakdown. Learning you're the cause of your friends being trapped because of you will do that to a person and Harry could relate to that.
Walking behind Luke, Harry put his hand on his shoulder and quietly whispered, "Stupefy." With that Luke was knocked unconscious. Harry transported him to his room to rest until he woke up.
"Harry, mad at you he will be. Help his friends he would have; to make that choice, his right alone."
"Master Yoda, how long will it take to train us if all we do is train?"
"Take it would, ten years normally. To be Jedi, more than swing a lightsaber it is. Way of life it is. To think like a Jedi, learn you must. Three years to just teach skills it will take. No fun either of you will have. Free time no more, but time we do not have."
"I can give us that time master. And before you ask I will not change the past for any reason. I didn't do it to bring back those that I have lost unfairly and I will not do it now. One little change, no matter how small, will change the past, present, and the future. But I can give us three years to finish our training by going back three years in time. We will leave this place and travel to a place far out in the galactic void, where we can travel three years into the past and train as hard as we can and when we get to this point here and now, we should have a working plan to get Luke's friends out of this mess and save them."
Yoda was staring at Harry in disbelief. Some of the things he seen Harry do was borderline impossible so to him, what's going back in time. Think of all the people they could save. Well that's all he could do was think about it because Harry already said that he wouldn't change the past for any reason. It was something that Yoda agreed with. He had learned long ago from his Master that whatever happens is the will of the Force, and therefore could not be changed.
"Incredible it will be if do this you really can. Agree to this plan I do. Go back before Luke awakens we must, explain to him I will."
"It will take some time to make the preparations for the time jump, Master Yoda. Luke may wake up before I finish my preparations."
"Do what you must Harry. Speak to Luke, I shall." Yoda said as he left to speak to his other padawan.
R2-D2, the Astromech Droid that came with Luke in his ship, called an X-Wing, entered the observation room. R2, as Luke called the little droid for short, was very happy to be in Camelot. He explored the city a great deal and made regular reports to Harry and Luke about the city. He also spent many hours in the repair bays getting many of his system upgraded, within the confines of the technology of this dimension including improved thrusters and gyro devices that would keep R2's 'head' up when flying. One of the biggest upgrades R2 had been given was the ability to access a computer system without any physical connection. Camelot also gave R2 the ability to display text thru his holo-emitter. Though R2 still used beeps and whistles most of time, but when he could, he would use his new texting ability.
"Hello R2, I need you to secure Luke's X-Wing. He is going to be very upset with me and also very eager to try and change the past. I cannot allow that to happen."
'I understand Mr. Harry. Though I must say that Mr. Yoda is correct, Master Luke is going to be very upset. I do agree with you that changes to the past could harm the present. Many of the data files I have from my time serving as Mistress Leia's droid tell about legends where sentient people went back in time to correct an injustice and made things worse.'
"Thanks for understanding R2." Harry told the little droid.
'We are going to save Mistress Leia, Mr. Solo, Chewie, and C-3PO?'
Harry smiled. "Yes we are my little friend. And if everything works according to plan, we'll be able to help the rebellion at the same time. Now get to work. Luke should be waking within the hour." R2 beeped once and left the room as Harry beamed himself to Stargate Operations to begin to make preparations for their three year exodus.
Since the space station was almost complete after months of work, Harry ordered that the weapons platforms, which were being built on board Camelot, be transferred to the station to be finished as well as all of the mining bots and other equipment needed except for the TDS which was already built and in place. Harry put Godric in charge of overseeing the completion of the entire Base and the ongoing projects, starting with the defensive systems of the base and the mining bots. Harry didn't know what would happen after the three years of training and wanted to make sure everything would continue to work as planned.
After Harry received final confirmation from Godric that everything had been moved and that construction was continuing, Harry plotted a course deep into the intergalactic void where they would jump back in time to stay to train.
Eight hours after speaking with Yoda, all of the preparations were finished and Camelot was almost ready to travel back in time. All Harry had to do was deactivate the dimensional jump portion of the DDrive so that it would only take Camelot back in time and not to another dimension. Once that was done, Harry activated the drive and took Camelot and everyone in it back three years into the past.
Winking into existence, the mighty City Ship Camelot performed a routine high powered scan in the surrounding void. Finding nothing, Harry went to find Master Yoda and Luke and tell them that now their training could truly begin. They had three years and they were going to make them count.
With three years to do nothing but train his two Padawans, Master Yoda really put them through their paces. A lot of the time was spent with physical exercises to condition their already fit bodies. Yoda made sure that they had the endurance to last through battles that could possibly last for hours on end.
Along with the endurance Master Yoda began to teach them the many force techniques that were available to them: Jedi Speed, Jedi Jump, and Jedi Healing were some of the basics to name a few. Saber throwing, Jedi mind tricks, and force absorption were some of the advanced techniques Yoda taught both of his padawans. While teaching them these techniques, Yoda taught them control which to him, was one of the most important aspects of their training. Because of that, Yoda drilled those exercises mercilessly into their heads.
For Harry to make some of the force techniques work for him he had to meditate a great deal more than Luke in order to learn to use his unique powers to devise a way to duplicate what Yoda was showing them. A lot of this was done during their meditation sessions where they would try to become one with the force. So even though it would take longer for Harry to do what was being taught, he mastered it faster than his fellow Padawan. Harry contributed this to his becoming one with his powers like his ancestor had shown him.
Harry also started to practice all the spells that he knew with his wand and also how to caste them wandlessly. As time progressed, he got stronger and quicker at his casting. He got to the point where he didn't need to say the incantation or do the wand movement; he cast them with his will alone. Since he was working on his wizarding knowledge and his casting, he found that he could even do things that he didn't know the spells for like changing his appearance and creating copies of himself. This discovery was used during training for practical jokes and was also used during his dueling to confuse his opponent. These new skills that he was doing also took time to learn and master but it was well worth the effort.
While in the past, Camelot was busy trying to come up with a solution with the problem of Harry being a Horcrux. Harry spent a lot of time meditating and inspecting the energy web of the spell that created and stored the horcrux within him. One of the things he learned was that he himself was not a horcrux his cursed scar was the horcrux. And while it might seem simple to remove, it really wasn't. So instead of removing it, Harry wanted to learn how it was created, in hopes of finding a way to of removing the actual soul fragment that tied Voldemort to the mortal plane, but allowed Harry to absorb the knowledge and possibly any power that the horcrux contained. Harry hoped that by absorbing the knowledge and possible magic, he would become much stronger for the trials he was bound to face in the future. He didn't know yet if by absorbing the contents of the soul would add to his magical power yet or just allow him to retain more knowledge but he was determined to find out.
Based of his research, Harry realized that all spells were just energy matrix's created and controlled by the castor. If he could find a way to reproduce these energy matrix's using technology then he could create a device that would allow anyone to use magic and it would give anyone a huge tactical advantage. But Harry was thinking of using something like this for himself, but on a larger scale. He was salivating at the idea of using a device such as this as a cannon on his ships; a cannon capable of shooting magic spells. It was a grand idea but a difficult one to create. He was working on creating a prototype but it was still in the designing stages.
Harry was also working on his Alterran abilities. His telekinesis was getting better and better with each passing day so he started to work on the healing aspect of his powers. He studied the anatomy of humans and Yoda's species and whenever someone was injured, he practiced healing them in the med bay under the watchful sensors of Camelot, making sure he didn't injure anyone further. He could heal anything that was superficial and in time of dire need he could heal serious injuries, but doing the latter always made him woozy and weak for a little while. It was like he was stuffing his own life force into his patient and healing them through brute force rather than using the finesse that his people were known for.
Another of his Alterran powers he worked on was his telepathy. The only problem with that was that the force acted like a natural barrier to those that weren't force sensitive themselves. Trying to use it on Master Yoda was like hitting a brick wall while he could use it with limited success on Luke. But what he found interesting was that the wizarding version of reading minds, Legillimency, allowed him easier and more access than telepathy did. He wanted to see if there was a way to combine the two so he didn't have to decide which one was better at any given time.
Lightsaber dueling was the part of the training that Harry looked forward to the most during the years that he learned under Master Yoda. It was something that he perfected easily but was difficult to learn. He felt a sense of pride since this was something that he was learning on his own, without the aid of his Hogwarts education or the download of his legacy. It was his own determination and drive that allowed him to learn as well as he did.
Out of the many forms or styles of lightsaber wielding, the free flowing and elegant form two came natural to Harry, as did the wild and unpredictable nature of what was called the Fourth Form. However, due to his agility and affinity to fight in the air, Harry preferred the style created by one of the most famous Jedi of recent history, Mace Windu's Vaapad style. Yoda had explained that Vaapad was a state of mind rather than just a fighting style.
It allowed the duelist to channel their own inner darkness into the duel, and accept the fury of their opponent. This form of fighting was said to be perilously close to the dark side due to its focus on physical combat, the rush of winning and fighting that was always present, and the constant exposure to dark tendencies that the user was exposed to.
A Vaapad user appeared to be wielding many lightsabers at once because they moved to fast to see. Also their attacks would flow into each other with a liquid precision creating the constant near-invisible weave of energy. The disadvantages of the Vaapad style were that it took great control of oneself not to fall to the dark side and that it required a constant stream of power that resembled a barely controlled explosion that could quickly tire the duelist if not properly prepared.
Harry preferred this style because he truly did have an inner dark nature. The inner beast, was the darkness that was created thanks to how he was raised by the Dursleys. With no love and constant abuse, Dumbledore said many times that it would have been easy for Harry to turn into another Dark Lord. But Harry's greatest strength was the control that he had on that side of himself. That's why this fighting style felt so right for him; it allowed him to use all of himself instead of just the light side which he portrayed all the time.
Harry's inner battle reminded Yoda about another young and promising padawan, Anakin Skywalker. The difference between Harry and Anakin was that Harry did not have a Sith Lord whispering in his ear. Instead Harry had a Dark Lord out for his head and would not stop until he had Harry's head on a pike. Yoda vowed not to fail Harry as he and Obi-Wan had failed Anakin so long ago.
For two and a half years this was how the training went. With six months to go before they returned to their normal time, Camelot got a new visitor, but only Harry knew about him, or so he thought. It was the Force Ghost of Mace Windu. Apparently Mace took a liking to young Harry and decided while Yoda did a great job in showing Harry the basics of the style he created, he would really excel at learning the ins and outs of the style from its creator.
Each night they would practice in a shielded room away from the others because for Mace didn't want anyone to know that he was there for some reason he did not explain to Harry. Once Mace started to teach him, Harry truly started to excel at everything Master Yoda was training himself and Luke in. Apparently when Master Yoda told Harry that Vaapad was a state of mind, he didn't quite explain that it was a way to do all things force related. Using his negative emotions for good was very fulfilling for Harry and he quickly adopted the Vaapad state of mind into his normal everyday state of being. He became stronger, faster and more in control of him self at all times. His let his tight leash that he kept on his powers loosen until he reached the ideal state where the stream of power he let flow through him that allowed him to maintain the Vaapad state of mind. The good thing about that was since he was using a constant supply of power on a large scale, his body soon got used to using large amounts of power without tiring easily.
While learning from Mace, Harry started to pull ahead of Luke in the art of lightsaber dueling. With only a couple months to go, Master Yoda started dueling all out with his two young padawans, separately and two on one. Separately, they were no match for Yoda, but as team, they won three out of five times. They weren't easy victories however and both usually needed medical attention afterwards. Even though they couldn't beat Yoda separately didn't mean that the duels weren't long and intense. Yoda was the victor because of the amount of experience he had in the use of the force and with his saber.
So with the last six months gone and the two padawans trained in as much as they could, their three year training was done. On the afternoon before they were to catch up with normal time, Master Yoda sat down and had a discussion with both of his students.
"Padawan learners, no longer you are. Give the rank of Jedi Knight I do. Such dedication and hard work, never have I seen before. Truly impressed I am."
Looking at Harry he continued. "Your people's history, I have read. Got a better understanding of your task I have. A just people your ancestors were. Justice and peace you seek, but great enemies you must defeat. Your journey, I will follow. A calling through the force I hear. My time here at an end it is. Great new adventures we will have. Allow this will you?"
"If that is truly what you wish, I would be honored. The Jedi Spire is yours. You can teach or just meditate if you desire, I just ask that you help me train those that join us on this adventure."
"Assist you in this I will." Turning towards Luke Yoda continued on. "Without Harry, become one with the force I would have and incomplete your training would be. Complete the plan, save your friends we will do. Then on your own you will be, as it should be. The future you are. Agree to this do you?"
"I agree Master Yoda. I accept my fate and my destiny. I've been training for this and I feel that I am ready to help my friends and work towards peace in the galaxy. I just wish that you guys could help end this was quicker so that the many people that will die won't have to. I mean with this wondrous ship alone you could end the Emperor's rule."
"Take his place someone will. Learn nothing, will anyone with a quick, easy victory done by a stranger. Fight you must. have to build peace you do, handed to you it will not. Now, rest I must. Big day we have tomorrow."
As everyone left the meditation room, Harry grabbed Luke and transported him to one of the labs. "Luke, Master Yoda is correct. This is your fight, but that doesn't mean that I don't plan on helping you." Harry said as he passed Luke a glass of old Alterran liqueur that he had found in the database. Harry liked the drink and usually had a drink while talking with Master Windu at night after his training session.
"What are you planning Harry?" Luke asked.
"Well, we know that Han and the other are at Cloud City and that one of Han's old friends runs the place. I would assume that Han's old friend either sold them out because he was pissed off at Han—"
"Which knowing Han is reasonable" Luke added.
"Or that he sold them out because Anakin threatened to harm the people of Cloud City." Harry finished, not realizing what he had said.
"What did you say? Anakin?" Luke asked.
Harry was upset with himself. During one of his discussions with Master Windu, Harry learned who and what Darth Vader was. He was Anakin Skywalker, the father of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. He fell to the dark side of the Force through the manipulations of Emperor Palpatine.
"Told you the truth Master Windu did." A voice said from the doorway. Master Yoda was standing there looking as if he knew this discussion was a long time coming.
"Yes he did. I am sorry for not telling you Master. Master Windu thought it would be better if I kept my contact with him secret." Harry explained.
"Known it I have for many days. Only Master Windu you could learn Vaapad from and master it you did." Yoda said.
"You are not upset with me then?" Harry asked.
"Upset I am not. Proud I am, for kept your word you have. Ask Master Windu to appear can you?" Yoda said as he sat on the ground along with Luke and Harry.
A moment later three Force ghosts appeared. One was Mace Windu, the second was Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the third was unknown to the two new Jedi Knights. His name was Qui-Gon Jinn.
For the next eight hours, the six Jedi talked about the fall of the Old Republic and the defeat of the Jedi as well as the reemergence of the Sith Order. Obi-Wan spoke about the duel he had with Anakin and about how he had fallen to the dark side. It was during this discussion that Qui-Gon spoke up.
"What caused young Anakin to fall to the Dark Side? What finally pushed him over?"
"It was a dream about losing his wife, Padme during child birth." Mace answered, for he was there as Palpatine finished his work on young Anakin.
"Is there a way to bring him back?" Harry asked. At the disbelieving looks of the others Harry continued. "Think about it, Anakin Skywalker fell to the darkness because of a lie; a lie that he had been fed for years by a manipulated old man." Harry truly felt that he understood what Anakin had gone thru because of not only his own dealing with manipulative old men, but also about wanting to protect the woman whom he loved.
"What do you suggest Harry?" Luke asked.
"The Emperor wants you. He knows nothing about Leia's true heritage yet. That means that Vader wants you alive. From what I was able to learn about Cloud City before we slipped back in time, they freeze the gas they mine in order to sell it. Now, what is the best way to transport someone who is strong in the Force?"
"According to the old records they would be…" Qui-Gon began.
"Frozen" Harry said. Everyone nodded. "Vader wants to duel you Luke before he places you in carbonite hibernation. So we'll give him a duel."
"What about Han and the others?" Luke asked.
"That is the easy part. R2 has already provided me with the information I need to lock onto them and transport them right to Camelot as well as anyone within ten feet of them. Besides that, I now have all of the information I need on Millennium Falcon to not only transport her, but also to give her some weapons upgrades and also make sure that she is running right. Call me paranoid, but I have a bad feeling that whoever was working on the Falcon messed her up incase Han and the others were able to reach her in hopes of escaping."
"A very smart deduction young Harry; But do you feel that Luke is ready to take on Darth Vader alone; and what of the fleet of ships in orbit? For once Camelot comes into orbit, it will be fired upon." Qui-Gon stated.
"You are right. That is why Master Yoda will control Camelot and take out the fleet. There isn't a weapon on those ships that can penetrate this city's shields. The only ship I want taken without damage is Vader's ship, the Executor. While Yoda is handling the other ships, I will use the Marauder and Camelot to beam out the crew of the ship into holding cells on board Camelot."
"From what I learned before I left Hoth, that ship has a crew in the thousands. Can you handle all of them?" Luke asked.
"From the time Camelot arrives in orbit until the ship is empty should be three minutes. After the fighting is over, I'll transport the cells to wherever you and Leia want them to go. Now, once I am done in orbit, I'll transport down to your location and engage the final part of the plan. Using my abilities, I can project memories right into Vader's mind. If I am right that will be all Anakin needs to break the grip that the Dark Side has on him. If I am right, then Darth Vader will fall and Anakin Skywalker will rise again and know about everything Palpatine has ever told him. Battle strategies, plans for immortality, the list are endless. Plus, you'll have a second Jedi, someone who was once on the Jedi Council, to help you and the rebellion. Plus, who besides us knows what happened to Anakin?" Harry finished.
"As far as anyone knew, Anakin fell to Darth Vader shortly after Master Windu was killed." Obi-Wan said. After a moment's thought he turned to Yoda, "Master Yoda, can you control this city?"
"With aid of King Arthur control I can." Yoda said. Yoda looked at Harry and he agreed. He would make the necessary arrangements to allow King Arthur to have control outside of the Jedi Spire.
"Then this sounds like the best strategy using what you have available. Especially since you have no idea where the rest of the Rebellion is" Obi-Wan said.
"Luke, are you okay with this?" Harry asked his friend.
"Yes I am." Luke said with a nod. After a moment he spoke again "Are you sure about being able to save my father?"
"Yes I am. Out of everything, I am confident that Anakin Skywalker remains buried deep inside Darth Vader. His spirit was broken when your mother died. He thinks you are alive and that Padme's death was his fault."
"Your friend is correct." A seventh voice said. A moment later a beautiful young woman appeared in senatorial robes from the Old Republic. The resemblance to Leia was unmistakable.
"Mother?" Luke asked the woman.
"Yes. My name is Padme Skywalker. I am your mother." Padme told her son. "Luke, before I died, I felt your father. There is still goodness in him. It has just been buried beneath the machine that has kept him alive and the lies Palpatine has told him."
"Mother, how is this possible? You were not a Jedi were you?" Luke asked.
"No my son; I was not a Jedi, but I did become somewhat force sensitive while carrying you and Leia. The connection between mother and child is great and there are many wonders to it. Once of the wonders was that I became force sensitive shortly before my death." Padme said before turning back to Harry.
"Harry, make sure that you show him this memory, it will work. Tell him that I love him and that I will see him again one day. Until then, may the force be with you." And with that Padme Skywalker was gone.
After a silent pause, Yoda was the one that spoke up first.
"Enough done tonight, we have. Now, rest I must. Big day tomorrow all we have." Yoda said.
Everyone agreed and departed the lab they were in. The three spirits returned to the Force, Yoda retired to his quarters while Luke and R2 went to check out the X-Wing before retiring for the night as well. Harry decided to get started on his gifts for Luke that he had spoken to Master Windu about. With the knowledge of old that Mace possessed, Harry was able to recreate several old Jedi technologies that would be of immense help to Luke and his cause. Harry also added a few things to make the Jedi technology better and to give him a better chance of success. Failure was not an option, not with so much on the line. With construction started, Harry went to get some rest, they all had a big day ahead of them and many lives depended on their success.
As Harry dropped into sleep, he had a vivid dream. He dreamt of Hogwarts and his friends. He dreamt about them being tortured by some unknown Death Eater with several different curses. They wanted to know where he was. Harry knew he had to return to deal with Voldemort once and for all and soon.
"I'm coming guys. I haven't forgotten you. I'll end this once and for all!" Harry muttered in his sleep. With that statement his aura flared once sealing his pledge.
Little did he know that this dream would be the cause of his return. His pledge would ensure that he finish the task that he set out to do to rid his world of the menace that is Voldemort. But it couldn't end there. Just like here someone would just take his spot and continue where Voldemort left off.
On the ascended plane, Padme Skywalker, Mace Windu, and Janus were looking over Harry and.
"It has begun." Padme told the group.
"Yes it has. Harry's path is set and so is Luke's, soon they shall fulfill their prophecies. Then they can truly begin to live." Janus said.
I just cant believe that so much had to be put on their shoulders, it hardly seems fair." said Mace
"What is done is done Mace Windu. Now we can only watch the future unfold." Janus said as the group returned to watching the mortal plane and the different dimensions there.
