The Chosen One's Jedi Quest I: The Phantom Menace
Warnings: With this chapter it's going to jump over 20% of the return to Naboo, and go right to saving Qui-Gon, after Anakin lands back in the hanger. So from here, the story-line had Qui-Gon involved fully in Anakin's life with Obi-wan. And as he spends his entire 13 years a Jedi, as his alter ego becomes Darth Vader. So Anakin becomes the true Chosen One, Andy, Darth Vader becomes a Sith and it becomes his version.
To his heirs' war against each other, in the last chapter of the Skywalker family 60 years from then. This story is going to use the theoretical from my other story, as the Jedi Quest novels. And are as though Anakin and Vader are two separate beings. As the Jedi know that Vader is a separate entity to Anakin's personality. And see him as the Chosen One, but are training Anakin in secret here, as the lightsaber implication.
Chapter 11: Returning Missions, Truths, And Back To Naboo
"The remark and question in Hutt, was 'Chess ko sebulba, he's jedai, but jee-jee're padawans, um our masters are watching this, mee'd hate tah stuka u diced. Um before our last chawa, but mee won myo freedom um freed doe others, but kava's doe racing. Kava many races have u won, since Qui-Gon sold u doe pod?" he said and they chuckled and nodded then. "Nice wording, but he sees me, he's in trouble." Qui-Gon said to him then.
"Yeah padawans, we're padawans, but we're one thing, but add our mentors, it's dead duck walking here right now, for attacking us, their cubs, unprovoked." Darra said smiling and their parentals nodded in agreement. "Well that's a variation to what you told him, for attacking Jar-Jar, and I wasn't kidding, but there could be something breakable. So don't touch anything and case in point is his activating the pit droids, and trashing the shop." Qui-Gon said to that gently.
"Well the translation in that was 'He's a big-time outlander, but very well connected, connected as in the hutts, I'm their personal guide while they're here. So I'd hate to see you diced before we race again.' what he said in response then to that was. And is, was 'Next time we race, boy, it will be the end of you, if you weren't a slave, I'd squash you now.', before my parting shot became, 'Yeah, it'd be a pity if you had to pay for me.'."
"A few dozen phrases you hear me speaking when around my fellow racing pilots here right now, to give an example where Sebulba is concerned, and this was our exchange Father. The one you heard when you realized Jar Jar wasn't behind you now, was 'Chess ko, Sebulba…Coo wolpa tooney rana. Oh da Hutt…cha porko ootman geesa…me teesa rodda co pana pee choppa chawa. This translates directly to Careful, Sebulba…This one's very well connected, as in Hutt now."
"But big time outlander, this one, that I'd hate to see you get diced before we race again." he said and Qui-Gon nodded gently. "What he said to me, was after I told him you were outlanders, but connected to Jabba's Uncle. His name is Ziro and he's here on Coruscant was 'Tooney rana nu pratta dunko, shag. – Connected? Whada you mean, slave?'. Said threat was 'Neek me chawa, wermo, mo killee ma klounkee, Una notu wo shag, me wompity du pom pom."
"Which translated to 'If you weren't a slave, I'd squash you right now.' and my lasting parting shot, before you and Padme showed up a second later was, Eh, chee bana do mullee ra. 'Yeah, it'd be a pity if you had to pay for me." he said and they nodded. "Are we expecting this again right now, after you just beat and humiliated him in the race the other day?" Mace asked and he nodded. "He never knows when to control that attitude." he said and they nodded then.
"Let's just say and I was being honest here to Jar-Jar, you let your fear take hold, they'll walk all over you here, these people bury their fear of the Hutts by picking on outsiders." he said and Mace nodded. "Well that was fast thinking, by assuming the position of their guide, before a fight broke out in public right now. I take it you told Jabba we were there on protection duty, the day of the race, and assumed immediate guide status?" Mace asked and he nodded gently then.
"Yeah I did, and he was relieved to know he didn't have to do it himself, when they walk right into my shop at work now. But I meant it, we wouldn't have lasted this long, without funds to pay for food, if I wasn't so good at being a mechanic and building things for him. The him being Watto, till he realized that won my freedom, as he realized the racer itself was a Jedi handi-cap. To him he finds this amusing now, as we made a fool of Sebulba." he said and Mace nodded.
"He lost sum number in funds by betting on Sebulba, we can just reimburse that by the amount brought, and mom is a paid employee, rather than servant now." he said and Mace nodded in approval. "So said amount brought is 4,000,000, and we buy out all the contracts, fix the racer and with it now, pay him back for the amount lost." Ki said and Mace nodded in agreement to that. "Agreed, reimburse Watto, we will to help with this." Yaddle said to that news gently then.
"The final exchange between us, that's Sebulba and me, before the Galactic Games now, was 'You won't walk away from this one, you slave scum.' my parting remark. Is and was 'Don't count on it, slime ball, not a threat, just warning him off, as Father. He was coming towards us, I'm not resorting to violence, in psyche outs here, as I got to focus. Besides, I'm a padawan, so above violence always." he said and Yoda nodded in approval that remark gently.
"Listen you worm, you keep this up, you're facing off against an adult Jedi next, so can the threats and psyche outs already." Tru said and Tiana and Adi nodded in agreement. "Yes, but remember here, way of the apprentice, but that was all 4 of you right now. During this trip back to Tatooine, the next is when we're security duty at the games right now. So you have to show you're above violence, and he knows he's not giving him the satisfaction to that insult now."
"And not when we're standing right there listening to the entire exchange, as your parents, but about that cubs, Annie's idea resulted, in you not needing to let go at all." Tiana said and they smiled in delight. "So though we're senior padawans, we don't have to leave our apartment, stay living at home till we fall in love and get our own place. Annie is moving in with the senator, in the months leaving into the war, way of the apprentice." Ferus said and the quartet nodded.
"Indeed you have the way of the apprentice here, show you're above violence to dangerous characters like this. But they want to cross us he's going about it the right way, but three adult Jedi masters with 3 to 4 apprentices each. The experience is high here, but seeing our trio at the games they know don't start a fight now. Then again the idiot security at the Belasco palace, actually tried to arrest us, before we arrested Zan Arbor." Adi said and he nodded gently then.
"Just follow our lead, because she and I, after he refused, immediately turned our lightsabers on, before your brother and sister followed suit. Before I made it clear, but though stubborn, I'm not a man you want on your bad side, and Jemba found that out the hard way." Qui-Gon said and Anakin and Ferus nodded to him gently. 'Well our teams are always together, but team quartet, and Andy is the target for the wariness, Ferus." he said and Ferus and Tru nodded.
"Well Chut chut, Ding mi chasa hopa', that means, 'Greetings, let me help you with that', while Mi boska di Shmi Skywalker. That means 'I am looking for Shmi Skywalker', once he saw Padme and realized she hasn't aged a day in 10 years. He realized, little me, now, became the 5ft 11in tall Jedi padawan standing in front of him. And I'm a padawan now, as well, that the farmer is no farmer at all, but a Jedi Master now." he said and Mace nodded gently to him then.
"Well different life, but you been seeing the Senator, since you were 19, so exactly 20 months now since, and courting for that amount of time. That the sabbatical is now a smoke screen, and everyone dead that was killed on Geonosis is now a clone. But I think whoever created these books revamped the entire story, you been cloned here. And your alter ego is walking around in the flesh right now, but not perfect and we don't want you to be." he said and Anakin nodded.
"I got work to do to repair that podracer, but 7 months work on it, and I'm like everyone else here, but my team quartet are your star pupils now. As you never see one of us without the other now." he said and Yoda nodded smiling. "Yeah we can get used to that, our bedrooms are next door to each other, and you know if there was trouble." Tru said and he nodded. "Such as the power cell going on it and us hearing another explosion." Mace said with a bemused smile.
"Annie, really, get that thing fixed, before you blow the door off it's hinges or Andy does here, because hearing this constantly is going to wear thin really fast, baby." Soara said and he nodded to her. "I know, I told that to mom, but hearing this once is enough, hearing it 5 more, you're ready to call it quits in his attempting it." he said and she chuckled. "Indeed, alright enough of this, that is, until patience you have, no lightsaber, clean up this mess, Andrus."
"And hear another explosion out of you, come I do and grounded you are, so clean up this mess, and your tools away, put." Yoda said sternly and Mace nodded bemused as Siri looked at Obi-wan gently. "Issues in the baby siblings, we just reached their constructing their lightsabers and we had a blow back or two, that Tolan and Cin will know what happened now. And Mace, Mother, Qui-Gon and Master'll come to check on it." Siri said and Obi-wan shook his head smiling then.
"We better finish Threepio when we go back as well, Anakin." he said and Anakin nodded in agreement. "Padme suggested parking the ship just outside my house there's an area big enough to park a ship that size, and I can say Ric, Leia and Dack are friends of the family. Which is true, because she and I are engaged, we're getting married, just before the war truly starts. But directly after Zan Arbor, back together, so a year." he said and Yoda nodded smiling to that.
"Yes alright, so we know in advance now that you're engaged and getting married, directly after Zan Arbor comes back into the picture, then after Ansion. You're on sabbatical, after a double shift, but before you head for Naboo, go check on the family. Adi, Siri and I have protective duty, Master, Qui-Gon and your brother have the investigation now. Just stay in range and until Obi-wan pages you, leave the radio off." Mace said and he nodded to the orders gently then.
"Saying of which, must upgrade the engines on that podracer you must, Jedi handi-cap you have now for the Harvesters race." Yoda said and he nodded to him. "Then the 3 of us are coming, as is Dane, Master Yoda, the 4 of us and Lana want to meet his Tatooine versions of us." Tru said and he nodded. "Very well, but just this once, before padawans, you become." he said and the quartet nodded gently to him. "Don't tell Wedon or Sari." Anakin said and he nodded gently.
"Oh gods, one of us in either side has a lightsaber, the other a toy blaster, we keep this up they're going to beat the fodder out of each other, for whatever insult there is." Ferus said and Dane started laughing at that. "And was that really necessary young man, I get you're trying to keep them from killing each other, but remarks like this are considered going too far here." Adi said and he nodded. "Yes Mother." he said and she smiled at that title as Siri chuckled then.
"Sebulba flashed me with his port vents which would have over heated the engines, but my pod at the shop it needs a good 300 Tatooine cash number of repairs here right now. But the engines give a 30 delay enough time for everyone to get 30 seconds out, and by then. Then it's a good mile away from the starting point, but I'm telling you now, before you see this. Be prepared, just hearing it is one thing now, seeing it when your star pupil was barely killed in the last one."
"Is too much, but my friends, their parents and mom, deserve a chance to meet you guys." he said and the council nodded. "Indeed, our team quartet, Clee, Garen and Dane is making a trip back to Tatooine, and with us is Mace, Winna, Minga and Master Yoda." Qui-Gon said and the duo and Yoda nodded. "Would that race explain your arm there, there's a nasty cut there." Ferus said, looking at his arm and he nodded. "I got hit by shrapnel." he said and they nodded then.
"Question: do you carry Wupiupi, it's Hutt currency coins?" he asked and they nodded quickly then. "Indeed we do, so how much is the transaction fee to get into the race?" he asked and he explained that. "In order to have enough, 4 million but the cost is 5,000, and another 350 for repairs of my original, but the goal here deactivates them all. So simple exchange, from slaves to everyone that is a slave to paid servants now." he said and they nodded in relief then gently.
"Well at least this isn't Telos, because the gambling there is beyond brutal, after seeing the sports right now, before we realized that they're ravaging the planet's natural resources." Obi-wan said sternly and Qui-Gon nodded. "I know, but mom was serious when she told you that, through Father, everything in Mos Espa revolves around betting on the podraces. But the pot got sweetened considerably here right now, Watto learned his lesson here right now, in betting."
"Against a Jedi, but when you got 20 Jedi, 19 of said are all human, coming to the planet to watch their student, or peer, race, this is where everyone behaves themselves now." he said and the council nodded gently. "Who wouldn't right now, but Andy is getting a chance to see your mother in a few months, but right now, start of new life. But first, we have to get through this mission and then we can all relax." Obi-wan said and Mace nodded in agreement to that gently.
"And you can consider this a Jedi sport too, as not many humans can do this, but the only ones that can are all one kind." he said and they nodded. "Said are all Jedi, but a Jedi padawan, the force was waiting till you made contact with us, before it gave you your first win. This was meant to be right now, we find you and get to you first now, but the chosen one prophecy. Said is aimed at Andy, and we trained you in secret in case Andy crashed." Kit said gently to that.
"Well that explains this one, we're seeing your second race, and while I fielded the first test, you had the second and prevented a beat down between your fellow racers." Ferus said, looking at book 3, after the pilot episode book then. "And there's the consideration, only this time you're really said age to consider that thought, although Tru and I aren't. And don't go there, they're a year prior to getting married, as for this, we're arresting him." Anakin said and the duo nodded.
"Gunray?" Darra asked and he nodded. "Alright guys, I get that was embarrassing, but nothing happened and won't till we're married when you guys are 14, so pull yourselves together." Siri said and the trio looked at their friends and nodded with a bemused smile. "And there's a talk we can wait 5 years for, we're barely out of our preteen youngling stage here." Ferus said and Darra nodded with a slight smile. "Yeah and we're only human." Anakin said and Mace said it.
"Boys pull yourselves together, and you're right, don't go there, your baby brothers, guys are too young for that talk." Mace said and they nodded as Darra was shaking in laughter as Obi-wan changed topics. "They changed the code so you and me, honey." he added and she smiled in relief. "Well there it is, we're letting each other in and I took a guess and guessed right, so if you get married, you're my brother and sister now." he said and they chuckled and nodded.
"I thinks that's you and Ferus, you're like Obi-wan and me, we're, at times, in sparring matches, so I think this one is you, you three together, your secondary race at the games. Is you, this is you in a sparring match with Ferus, Andy has the academy, and I know that's him. His clothes are changing color at 16, these two and the third are you, after someone was killed. This I know is him as he's with…, there we go, Palpatine is the new Chancellor." Siri said and he nodded.
"And the last and this is…., Father do you recognize this formula, it's happening again." he said and they all stiffened then. "If his face is covered and I got your lightsaber, that must be Xanatos's heir, Master, he knows your lightsaber when he sees it. And though 22 years, and I grew a beard, I'm still that 13 year old that helped you fight him." He said and Qui-Gon nodded sternly. "Indeed, our problems with these people are never over." Mace said sternly in response.
"Then we're in stage one, what are the three stages here, because the last was a total massacre." he asked and Mace explained that. "Disruption, demoralization and distraction, altogether they create devastation." he said and Anakin nodded. "Disruption of your getting to know and training me, demoralization by distracting me and my mother's murder. And distraction by my being distracted by the premonitions of Padme, and our separation here."
"And it results in the Jedi purge, killing all of us, and me being knocked into a coma." he said and Yoda and Obi-wan nodded in shocked fury. "Yes that and demoralization, by us denying you your right to promotion, but though ready mentally, emotionally still a padawan, you are." Yoda said and he nodded. "Well you know I'm not leaving their sides, you just let him go too soon, the acceleration trials." he said and the council nodded. "Uh oh." the quartet said together then.
"Then not falling for it twice, we are right now where Sidious is concerned here, but us 35 years into the future back in these bodies, me and Obi-wan are. You 36 years in the past, you are, but Obi-wan and I, knew you all your life we did, and fix things we can. However Andy, is the one undergoing said consideration through that, but tell Sidious the truth. Wrong brother he has, Andy is the one can't trust we can, you with all our lives, we trust." he said and he nodded.
"Now why would…, oh my gods not again, hey ladies, Brother, it's Zan Arbor, she's back, with my knowing this, and I agree with Ren S'orn. Reason being I felt like I was staring pure evil in the face, after getting captured!" Anakin said and the quartet nodded sternly. "Well that we can understand right now, but after whoever was killed, it's me all over again. Only she knows me and Adi on sight the second she sees us, but your brother and sister, they grew up now."
"But add you and she doesn't realize she ticked off our friends, by getting her hands on both of us, but let me guess, chemical version of the 5 stages, Annie." Qui-Gon asked and he and Obi-wan nodded. "And that's two of our team's old enemies making a come back, along with the aftermath, seems that scholar also made a come back. Like I said this is going to be a 10 years here." Obi-wan said and she nodded as Anakin shook his head and he nodded gently then.
"What we never understood after you came to get me, guys, but Father told me the entire story, but this explains why they don't trust politicians. Those needle puncture marks in his neck and shoulders right now, are because our perpetrator. In truth thought the force was in his blood, trying to find a way to unlock the midichlorines in non force sensitives. Just so we can all be Jedi, she was drawing blood samples that were weakening her lab rats, till it nearly killed them."
"Jenna Zan Arbor, Ona Nobis and Senator Uta S'orn, 12 years ago right now, our teams had to stop a deadly bacterial infection put into the water supply. On Belasco, but she was running studies of Force, and kidnapped and killed 10 force sensitives. The last was Father, before they realized, she had a retired Jedi, named Noor R'Aya." he said and Ferus crossed his arms. "And instead of him is you, and you're in denial, before entering anger." he said and Anakin nodded.
"And to say it now, I hate my sensitivity, my powers and my title, and what good are these powers if they can't be used to save someone I love." he asked and Qui-Gon nodded. "That ready rant was losing me, Amee's mother and someone in the council, by 10 years apart. But we have force healing, and there's the answer to your question, but a death being too quick. To stop, is the reason for it, that was never your fault, just their time." he said and Anakin nodded.
"Doesn't stop the guilt right now, if I ignored that premonition, she'd still be alive, as we stay off the planet that caused it." he said and they nodded as Yaddle sighed gently. "Know that we do, but still my time to go, been a Jedi I have for 850 years, twilight has come for me. Blame yourself do not, but Zan Arbor good for something she was as you recover emotionally. From that trauma and back again, and turn into Obi-wan at 18 now." She said and he nodded to her.
"Well you know me for me now, as you live my life over again with me, these books are that life, as you see me, as me, not Andy. I was your star pupil, that never changed, but Ferus and I were the top of our class in everything, Darra. Tru and Dane, just behind us, but the acceleration trials were the halfway point, and we had 7 years left." he said and they nodded. "Yes we live our lives over again from now till the Purge with you, and fix everything." Adi said gently to that.
"Guys about the lightsaber, before we go on this mission, and before you attempt to used that, before the repairs are done, let me give it a fast check, so I find what you missed on it. Could be the crystals for all I know, it is, and I can lend you some of mine." he said and Tru nodded, and his lightsaber hummed. "Yeah hi old friend, you too." he said with a chuckle to that. "Okay, so that trip to Korriban was the honesty and loyalty test now." Mace said to him then gently at that.
"Yeah we pass those tests, we're in, but we're not ready to let go yet, so another 7 years is plenty, and with my premonitions on mom about to start going crazy…" he said and they nodded. "And you having not slept in 2 months, you're on sabbatical as you get the rest you need, you need a vacation. So before you head for Naboo, go check on that premonition, and report back from Tatooine, Siri and I got protection, your father and Obi-wan the Investigation."
"But you're the one that learned force healing here now, your brother did not, so if she's close, just heal the injuries, and get out now." Adi said and they nodded. "Agreed, if she's close, make a secondary back up trip to the planet, contact us and wait for orders. Because with you in range, we're sending the clones of every Jedi we lost now." Obi-wan said and he nodded. "Yes Master, okay, so before I take her home, we head for Tatooine first." he said and they nodded.
"They're getting the message, the little boy that helped their clan mate survive a rockslide, grew up to be the wizard with the purplish blue wand. So no want to be cut by the wand, back off, and let him and his mother leave." he said and they nodded. "Point taken, you don't want to get cut, I suggest you stand down right now, think twice friend, then think again." Ferus said with a bemused smile. "Well 20% of the people at the games are Tatooine." he said to him then gently.
"So said code phrase and bickering match between your peers in racing on the track?" Tru asked and he nodded. "Yeah I'll translate, but Andy hates Sebulba and his son, so his jumping in without thinking, I got to arrest my own brother for that." he said and they nodded. "I see you got the point of that test right now, but sight perception, you saw what I wanted you. Now, to see and went to how I would do it as you gave me your lightsaber." Qui-Gon said to him then.
"As I would have told my family, when training with a lightsaber or any type of machinery, best let the equipment teach you, but such a process can take hours under expedited activation." he said to him gently then. "Father told me that as well, when training with a lightsaber or any type of machinery, best let the equipment teach you. But you're right, such a process can take hours, but we got 48 hours to teach you in training, but that's a practice lightsaber, but hang on."
"I'm putting it one step below a real one, because you're adjusting to being fully human again, and back in your 9 year old body. This way you never do real damage after getting used to training back in your body again." he said and he nodded, as he turned it up to high. As Anakin covered his eyes with a blindfold, and start doing the fluid agility of a true martial arts expert at only 9 years old. "Pre lightsaber, has to adjust, before back on it." he said and Mace nodded.
"That jumpsuit was a suit meant to keep him beyond weak, so he never rises against Palpatine." he explained and they nodded, as he took the lightsaber and started exercising with it again as he grew used to carrying his old lightsaber. "I see why he needed to now, but if this is him, after being stuck like that who knows how, he has to drain his old knowledge and replace it now. As those dreams are going to get bad." Ferus said and Mace nodded in agreement then gently.
"That's the lightsaber I created, in an adult version of it, the one in my hand is preteen to 16." he said and they nodded. "She's a work of art here, Annie, so us at 13 to 19, before Ansion and then we get reunited with Padme and done." Tru said and he nodded. "Well, before you get used to your original again, you're back in training mode for the next 18 months. Andy has 3 years to wait for his right now." Mace said and he nodded, as he clipped his training one to his belt then.
"You're training blindfolded here, so feel, don't think, just use your instincts." Qui-Gon said and he nodded gently. "Not just the lightsaber training, I'm taking piloting lessons, so my one option, after we split up here right now. But me in my youngling body, I'm no match for the Zabrak, but you are right now, so I can help. Said is by clearing a path for Padme, Dack and the others to get upstairs, if we get ambushed, you have our attacker, I'm getting on board now."
"The ship, so the one I manned is the one that snuck on board, Ric, Darren, Dane and Leia know it's me, so still following orders, I'm just helping in a different way." he said and they nodded gently. "Fair enough, and thank you for alerting us to that, so I know where you wondered off to after we split up right now." Qui-Gon said and Mace nodded in agreement to that. "Young man, forget it about it here, if this was reversed, I said stay on board that ship, you'll be safe there."
"No stay in the cockpit." Qui-Gon said sternly and he felt a flinch through the link. "Well I'm first with the lightsaber, that's Andy, but 18 months training is plenty, then again he's wondering…." he said and she nodded in aggravation. "Why do you get a lightsaber and he doesn't, it's because these are not a plaything, Andrus, these are a very dangerous weapon. And until you exercised the discipline and maturity, you don't get one!" Siri said in stern aggravation to that.
"Better get a DNA sample, you're cloning me right now, and make the requisition order while doing it, because we're cloning everyone who's died here. In fact, just rip the coordinates out of the computer, because you died a hero, but remember brother. Not impossible, we know we got womp-rat here, we just don't know who right now." Anakin said, and Obi-wan nodded. "I'll say and I meant it, Father would never join Dooku." he said and Qui-Gon crossed his arms then.
"Dooku thought I would honestly join his army, against the Jedi Order, we always knew there was a disease in the Republic, we just never knew where it was coming from. And now, thanks to your brother telling me that directly, we do, but I would never turn to the darkside. Yes it's true I nearly did 10 years ago, but that's what grief does to you, cross or nearly cross it. The line, but you know the ability to force MIC, till the others arrive." he said and Obi-wan nodded.
"Sidious, by killing you, after killing Sidious, destroyed Anakin's only source of that knowledge, he lied to us, all of us, in that time-line." he said and he nodded sternly. "I understand, and we will make him pay for it right now, but first, we must contend with Padme's people. And free them, so you have the dogfight, we will handle the Zabrak, just the leave mental com-link open. And not till after you blow the shields now, do you report into Ric." he said and Anakin nodded.
"The haircut, we made you a padawan, during this mission, but your brother, he's been under careful scrutiny and while you gained your lightsaber first. And your brother just went on his lightsaber quest, saw your attacker and the crystal turned red. Raider, trader, lovely, Siri you're undercover in 3 years, Anakin went in after you, and pretended to be a slave. We're being sent in to shut down this trader, Nar Shadaa." Mace said and they all nodded and Anakin explained it.
"This is me, that's Andy, so me dressed in my Jedi version to my planet's clothing, with the chocolate brown Robes. Andy with the blackish brown jumpsuit, that's my 19 year old self, there, but Andy cost Darra her life, after we breech had in the safety code. By not reminding you to change the crystals, to which I'm giving you a spare set of mine. And we adjust the flux aperture, and recharge her." he said and Ferus saw the last image and they nodded gently then.
"Krayne's the reason for that fear right now, he raided my spaceport, and took 30 slaves, Amee's mother was one of them, her name is Halla." he said and they nodded. "Hearing this, and I had one day off every two weeks, she had one day off a month, and that day was it. But knowing I'm a 7 year old youngling, I didn't have the strength to stop him, and in thinking. That if he got her, he got mom and I ran back to my house now, but that look on her face now."
"I never wanted to see again." he said and they nodded gently. "One of the little girls that were at the house, before we tested the engines, Annie?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "Yeah she's the older of the duo, the younger was called Melie," he said and Qui-Gon nodded gently then. "Well seems to me that while Andrus didn't want leave, you were the one we decided to activate, while Andy was under careful scrutiny here." Garen said and Clee nodded to that in agreement.
"But you guys are meeting my versions of you, but my home clan has two girls, 3 boys, a Rodian and Wookie." he said and they nodded. "That's what we are as well, there's us 4, Sarika Hashani, Wedon Bedoni and Tahiri Kaneberrie." Dane said to and he nodded. "Yeah I remember and Brazen and his best friend are part of the Rancors." he said and he nodded. "At least Lana and Carmen never accept the attitude, but one too many fights." he said and he nodded then.
"You know you keep that up, you're going to give me a heart attack next, take it down a few notches here, if Brazen crosses the line, he's from Telos." Ferus said and he nodded. "Like I said, He's Bruck, I'm Obi-wan, but Bruck could be Andy's mentor, if he was still alive here. And for all I know here, but whoever never got back yet, if we have a repeater, of this." he said and pointed at the trilogy, and the follow up. "Stay out of the water ways." he said and they nodded sternly.
"Tell me about it here, 3/4's of us are human and that lake is 175ft deep, we can't swim that deep and without rebreathers!" Ferus said in shock and he nodded gently. "And the resident Mon Calamarian could, but even she doesn't know her limit after nearly drowning herself." he said and Bant sighed. " Are you ever going to let me live that down?" she asked and he shook his head. "I get you want to help, but doing it like this, is going too far." he said and she nodded.
"If Brazen catches it, be in position to slow his fall and bring him to you, but I'm getting the girls, whoever it is, out of the lake here." he said and they nodded. "As I said, you're not indestructible, but you're draining your energy so fast, your system is going to crash. At this rate baby, you need to rest and eat after being stranded on Melida/Daan after it started again." Winna said and he nodded. "And once was enough." Qui-Gon said sternly to that opinion then.
"Anyone ever consider the temperature of that water if you're jumping off the waterfall, it's 65 degrees and after working over time, after holding up 32,000 lbs worth of weight. After having not used your telekinsis in weeks, you just drained 3/4's your reserves from that. After having not eaten properly in over a month." Anakin asked and he nodded. "With you being a growing boy, I never forgot you had to eat here, but malnutrition and exhaustion, those two together."
"You're running on fumes by the end of the day, if we have another invader like Xanatos running loose in the academy." he said and he nodded gently. "After bench pressing that much weight, and the dunk in the lake, after the sparring session from heck. I'm out here, but being an engineer right now, I just grab the crystals then engage Brazen right now." he said and he nodded gently. "Then follow the pattern he did, Cerasi is alive." he said and he nodded in relief.
"But no, we are not just leaving you there!" Siri said and the quartet all paled. "No.., no, no forget it, forget it, you did your mission, you made your choice, you're coming home!" Ferus said in shock and he sighed. "Based on this, I have no choice, I have my orders brother, they told me to stay, I stay, but once I end this war, I do come home. But mission after mission, I'm losing 6 months, but probation, I humbly ask for probation, Master." he said and Yoda nodded gently.
"Understand I do, and probation after recovered you have, get you do, but never broke our trust you did, never wanted to stay you did, difference, that is." he said and he nodded gently in relief then. "Annie Skywalker: the Hero With No Fear, that epithet is going to give us no end of grief, over the next 13 years, with you being the role mode for the 10 to 13 year old padawans. And your class with you now." Mace said gently and Obi-wan and Yoda nodded in agreement then.
"My role model is big brother." he said and Obi-wan looked down. "Just like Kad said, like he never thought that Bruck could turn to the darkside, then again he never knew him. Me, I knew you all my life, I just can't see you as anything, but the man I know you are to be. You are my role model, my mentor, but you say this, you say that, you think, you believe. I love you and and I look up to you, Obi-wan." he said and Obi-wan nodded smiling gently as he looked at him.
"I get that right now, but I already did a number on Father, the last 13 years, since I came into his life, but you right now in truth. What he never knew after only two weeks getting to know and training you, I know all too well. Being the one to raise you, that you keep this up, he's not making it to 60 at this rate." he said and Mace chuckled at that. "We had the follow up to the Telos mission in 3 years and ran into Den and Andra." he said and Qui-Gon nodded to him.
"Then we're going there, but if our no name came back into the picture, we're asking for trouble here right now." he said and Obi-wan nodded. "The ones that got involved for this, and a reunion of sorts are Mother and me, and we met up with Den and Andra, but the ship leader. Is the Chuns now, so 3 years later, we got our own padawans, and a joint mission here. So you and Mother, us of the next age group down, and the boys." Garen said and he nodded gently.
"Well that's one way to handle things, if not Adi, Tahl and Tiana, I got you, Clee." he said and she nodded gently, smiling. "You're my best friend Qui', I spent three lonely years without you and Tahl, though I had Kit and Mace, and we fix that with this round right now. We had one bad side effect, and Obi-wan had a flashback to the trial right now, just before Anakin got him. Now to talk about it, and he said it, not his fault, couldn't let go of his hate." she said and he nodded.
"Indeed, Obi-wan listen to me, you shouldn't blame yourself for his death, like Vader, he allowed him to twist his mind, till now, now he becomes the very thing. That he swore to put behind bars, out of hate, lust and greed, you let go and changed into this you. But this is the you I remember, after you came home, be that man again, always remember. You want to return to the Jedi, then be a Jedi, the very worst time is the time you have to follow the code now."
"Be strong, and let the force flow through you." he said and Obi-wan nodded as he hugged him tightly and Anakin smiled as he looked at his mentor gently. "Brother you made a mistake, you learn from it and you move on, we're only human, we make mistakes. My alter ego made a mistake in trusting the wrong person, look what it does to me, and the Order. But the sins are a one way ticket, remember resist, be strong now." he said and they nodded to the advice then.
"Well I'm reactivating the piloting program and we're back on the satellite." Clee said gently and he nodded to her. "Well my youngest is a pilot and mechanic, but no more racing, you just took care of that, alright, so force healing, engineering, Jedi lore and lightsaber lore. Color coordination, defense training, piloting and of course farming here now. So that's everything, instead of temple, it's an academy for Jedi younglings." he said and Yoda nodded in agreement.
"Yeah Mother bad side effect with my age group to their's, our padawans respect and look up to us so much, they're following our example here, so what we do, they want to imitate." Siri said and the council and their own mentors nodded with a bemused smile. "And we thought we had it bad with you, your baby brothers and sisters, we're not going to make it to 70. If they keep it up in the reckless actions, and you take it down a notch." Adi said to her and she nodded then.
"And finding out the hard way your father is, in what raising your brother was like right now, the things he gets into and everything else, he is as he makes it this time. But said I did, just a 9 year old him he is, but he's you as 9 year old in personality, you and your father." Yoda said and Obi-wan nodded with a chuckle. "From the way you and Master talk, I assume he scared you one too many times, while you became well known now." he said and Obi-wan nodded smiling.
"You have no idea, but our unit became a household name during the Clone Wars after the Battle of Geonosis." Obi-wan said and he nodded in understanding. "Alright, we finish this when the 15 of us come get you after you finish the mission. So again, go to Naboo and discover the name of this Zabrak, this is the key we need to unravel the mystery of our Sithmaster's plan." Mace said and they nodded. "Be careful Annie." his clan said and he nodded, as they got ready.
"Andy you are to stay here, we have more to discuss here with you." he said and they felt a sad nod from his alter ego then, knowing this meant the younger twin meant he was under careful scrutiny. "May the force be with you." Mace said and they bowed and left the room…
The Mission Begins And The Fly Back To Naboo- Obi-wan and Anakin's POV:
As the trio waited for the Naboo's entourage, Anakin heard a heated argument over his twin, between his mentor and Father mentor. "It's not disrespect, Master, it's the truth." Obi-wan said and Qui-Gon said it sternly. "From your point of view." he said and he said it gently. "The boy is dangerous, they all sense it: Why can't you?" he asked and Qui-Gon said it then sternly. "His fate is uncertain, but he's not dangerous, now the council will decide Andrus's future later."
"That should be enough for you, now get on board." he said and Obi-wan sighed. "Brother I get the irritation, but that level of power, in the wrong hands is dangerous. But one twin with you, the other one here, I'm thinking straight here." he said and Obi-wan nodded in relief. "I get that, but not making the same mistakes twice, I knew you all your life here, Annie. But you are my life, I'm not losing you again." he said and he nodded as they pressed their foreheads together.
"I love you brother." he said gently at that. "I love you too Annie, you are my brother, I love you, we'll be fine now here. But you have your mission, we have our's you be careful, and report back to Ric, once back in the bay. But I'm in the reactor room, so once done, come to me, and we do it, save him, together." he said and Anakin nodded to the orders. "He knew me longest, but Andy was the one not listening to me all the time." he said and Qui-Gon nodded gently then.
"And saying of which, we been talking about the midichlorines for years, but can they speed up healing if you lose a limb." he said and Qui-Gon smiled as he got eye level with him then. "Yes, Midi-chlorians are a microscopic life-form, that resides within all living cells." he said and Anakin tried to remember that portion of the conversation. "They live inside me?" he said and he nodded. "Inside your cells, yes, and we are symbionts with them." he said and he said it then.
"Symbionts?" he said and he explained that. "Life-forms living together for mutual advantage, without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to us, telling us the will of the Force, when you learn to quiet your mind, you'll hear them speaking to you." he said and he nodded gently. "I don't understand." he said and he smiled. "With time and training, Ani, you will, you will." he said as he stood up then.
Just as Anakin's wife, Padme Naberrie, nee' Queen Amidala of the Nabooian government arrived with their entourage. "Your Majesty, it is our pleasure to continue to serve and protect you." he said and she nodded with a smile in her voice then. "I welcome your help, Qui-Gon, thank you now, however Senator Palpatine fears that the Federation means to destroy me." she said and he nodded sternly. "I assure you I will not allow that to happen." he said and she nodded then.
"Wesa goin' home!" Jar-Jar shouted in delight and Anakin smiled then. "Come on, Artoo." he said and he beeped with a smile as they boarded. "Ric, on full power, 3 day trip, we got to talk!" he called out and heard a gentle response. "Roger that, Annie." he said as he set the system to 3 day trip, as they settled in then for the trip back to their planet..
The Sith's Plan's-Gunray's POV:
"Is the planet secure?" Darth Sidious said to him then and Nute Gunray, viceroy of the Trade federation nodded. "We have taken over the last pockets of primitive life-forms, we are in complete control of the planet now." he said and Sidious nodded gently. "Good: I will see to it that in the senate, that things stay as they are, I am sending my apprentice. Darth Maul, to join you." he said and Gunray nodded, shaking internally at that news then.
"Yes, my lord." he said and his counterpart, Rune Haako looked at him in shock. "A Sith here?" he said shaking then and he swallowed hard.…
Jedi And Piloting Training-Anakin/Obi-wan's POV:
"Annie, what's the verdict?" Padme asked him and he smiled. "Immediate training, Andy is the one under scrutiny here." he said and she nodded smiling. "So our discussion on the system, our fight, before he attacked me, our debate over the war. Our fight over going to the Lake Country at my estate, trying to seduce me, and then after I told you. I was pregnant with the twins, is all Andy, this is you after we were having breakfast and dinner." She said and he nodded gently.
"Yep, and this is the me you're married to, okay so a few flaws, that's not a problem, sure we're five years apart, and I'm a pauper, and you're a queen turned senator. Never mattered, we're in love, married and are having twins in 13 years." he said and she nodded smiling. "And the council knows now, that's wonderful, okay we don't have to hide from them or the alliance. The members that are the senate, including Bail." she said and he nodded smiling to her gently.
"Yes we do indeed Padme, hey baby sister." Obi-wan said smiling and she smiled at that the title. "So you have it back as well?" she asked and he nodded. "Yes, both Yoda and I do, but saving Qui-Gon, means Anakin grows up to become me at 23 years old. And while Andy becomes my rival turned Sithlord, but Andy is copying Anakin in everything. Sifo Dyas got a blood sample and we're cloning Anakin, so Vader is walking around in the flesh here now."
"So you're seeing them as two separate entities now finally, Anakin is dressed in an adult version of my clothes at 20 now, while Andy, Vader is dressed in said jumpsuit." he said to her gently and she nodded sternly. "Andy is my brother in law, though I love him, I don't love him like that right now. It's Annie I'm married to and carrying his children, before the twins are born right now, before something else happens, just tell them." she said and Anakin nodded to her.
"That's the Sith alias, so everything we remember, the atrocities or debates, the seduction and so on, is all Andy, AKA Darth Vader. You love him sure, but not like that, you belong to Anakin and are having his children in 13 years, but. And you're not going to like this right now, but the formula being used here is one that was used by Qui-Gon's late apprentice. And said caused my version of Anakin's class rival to be killed during the first siege." Obi-wan said and she nodded.
"But 10 years training in only 7 months, the code got changed, so we can fall in love and get married now, I'm engaged to Siri, so she's godmother, I'm godfather." he said and she smiled gently at the news then. "You're already apart of our family Obi-wan, we're naming you the twins godfather now." she said and he nodded smiling. "That lightsaber is in training mode, we build our lightsabers at 10 years old, but you need to master the control and discipline now."
"To use these right now, but control, discipline and maturity, so the twins are learning that, when we're hiding on Ach-to, before we head for Delaya. After the purge, so though we lost the capitol, we never lost what mattered more to us right now. You guys, in the eyes of both sides of the alliance now, he has his adult memories of it's use now. But fully human and back in his youngling body, so training lightsaber." he said and she nodded in understanding gently then.
"Yeah lost 59% of connection to the force, he needs to get used to being back in his 9 year old body and being fully human again." she said and he nodded. "Say you think these river stones carry the crystals, if they never checked them before?" Anakin asked and he froze. "I remember using it to put up shields surrounding my memories, so yeah they could be. But one way to find out, we have to test that out." he said and Anakin nodded, as he remembered the explosion.
And shrapnel that struck his arm. "That injury may have mended, but probably not fully healed right now." He said and he nodded, as he gripped the stone with one hand, and pressed his hand to his wrist with the other, as he closed his eyes, and she watched it start healing. As soon there was nothing but a healed line there and she smiled. "Yeah Obi-wan it's healed, you did it!" she said smiling and he smiled. "Oh Father, these carry healing crystals!" he called out to him.
