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 17: Returning Missions, Truths, And Back To Naboo IV
"But how stupid do you think we are right now, if you can't have unlimited access to me, you try to put me in a situation, to brush the darkside repeatedly. Mission after mission, after mission, same pattern every time, as I go to council with my adult self. My brother, sister and mother mentor, so easy fix, as I go to council with my other adult self, and the grandmaster. And get in one last authorized mission to give whoever it is a fighting chance, and then I go home now."
"My scales evened back out, and land on being a padawan, a Jedi, my place is at my mentor's side, always, though normal, I am a Jedi, my place and commitment. Is at my mentor's side, I love my mentors, both age groups, my family, my place is with them." he said and Mace hid a smile gently at that remark. 'Indeed, been listening to me too much he has right now at the moment, to say that, nicely done, that is Annie.' Yoda thought, hiding a smiling at that remark.
"I see it, oh so clearly here, that with Father and the Jedi, I get that power no strings attached, grow up studying it, put it to use a few times. I can save my family, and teach it to younger generations as they grow up, I get it from you, now. And I sell myself back into slavery and throw myself back into those shackles, so no, it's going to happen here. I'm free and I want to stay free, before freeing my counterparts, first on my planet and then Krayne's mine now."
"Who is Krayne, well Krayne is a slave raider, slave trader, and a slave's worst nightmare, getting rid of him, means freedom. Freedom of living in fear they will be taken from their families by him, but he's mine. He's mine now and he's being taken down finally, but how stupid do you think I am, if you're the Sith, you used this to me make brush it. The darkside, but when that doesn't work, you try to tempt my non force sensitive side, but no, that doesn't work too."
"But these stunts to make me brush the darkside are wearing thin, I grew up normal yes, but Jedi are like everyone else, we are not susceptible to the sins. Anymore than anyone else is, but we want what everyone has, finding love and starting a family, but I had a life. Before I became a Padawan, but just where did that necklace around her neck come from?" he asked and Mace saw a polished wooden medallion around the queen's neck and then smiled as he got it then.
"The pieces of my past that are being used are of high quality, but this is not the first time, we considered you beyond cruel and abusing your position." he said and they watched Palpatine as he jerked at that remark in shock. "To quote Father now, they must trust my judgement, I know what is best for my family, if that means, if I had turned. Having my family, that's including my wife, my children, Light and Courage, safely on board my ship, till I get rid of the Master."
"Followed by Andy, he's being arrested, and I take his place, to start destroying your dictatorship from within, what could be simpler. Then to have my family, Courage's husband and his friends with me." he said and Yoda nodded. "The Skywalker Clan, but Light and Courage, so Courageous Light, with the fact we're on Naboo." he said and Padme smiled. "I know what they would say if I told them she's pregnant with my children, over said premonitions right now."
"And that is I have what I seek already, in their hands, force healing yes, but what about heart and soul, Father has that skill, I have everything I need. So why listen to you at all, my Lord, I have what I need through Master and Father. I am a Jedi, but the future is not set, there is no fate, but what we make, I do nothing and study this skill. Padme survives. I act on it, it's a bloodbath, I will follow my master and the force." he said and Yoda smiled proudly at that
'Luke and Leia, Courageous Light, nice choice Annie, okay, if you're my future husband, we name the twins that then.' she thought gently to that. "But not for the first time, this abusing your position is wearing thin right now, but at times right now, said mental door is left opened. I gained enough to know this, but first, Krayne, a return trip to my brother's own padawan-hood. And when he was also 13, meaning I meet his version of my age group's grouping alias now."
"Followed by a repeater of dealing with another mad scientist, and with her, another adult version of Andy and his young adult counterpart, so yes, beyond cruel and abusive." he said and Tiana crossed her arms. "Oh nice one Annie, throw it back in his face, we're the good one, he's a threat to your relationship with us." Damon said to that, sternly smiling. "But you think we don't know you're choosing us as her, the queen's bodyguards was a trap, so you can kill my mother."
"By using the Tuskins to do so, well I do, and I can take a detour to see my mother, as I pass a second copy of said same necklace to the queen, now the planet senator. This one is now going off promise bracelet, and is a engagement present, as we spend sum weeks together. On vacation now, till I get word back, the Jinn/Kenobi team found who assigned that assassin. Just to kill the queen, my version, and your nerf is cooked here." he said sternly and he swallowed.
"But my father is alive, I'm not turning on everything he ever taught me, his teachings, or their very principles, my principles, for the power to save who I love. Ever, so you failed my lord, I am a Jedi, like my father before me." he said and Yoda smiled. "And word of warning, just consider if everything I just said turns true, who are you more afraid of finding out. In what you are: Master Windu, or the grandmaster himself?" he said and they watched him go white at that.
"That's not a threat, merely advice, from one order to another, choose your words carefully, or they maybe your last as your current position. But just consider this was an emergency, and the votes get re-evaluated, they choose a more clean cut Chancellor. Or just re-enstate Chancellor Valorum, you ever consider she set the trap, and you walked right into it. Cross and double, and she and her grouping are in this together, with us, as the Jedi order?" he said and Mace smiled.
"Ooh, nice catch son, makes a good point, this could have been an emergency vote till the blockade crisis is over, before we re-vote and put someone else in place." Panaka said and Mace nodded hiding a smile at his fast thinking then. 'Annie honestly, your trying to get a rise out of him, is like poking a sleeping krayt dragon, keep it up, you're going to get killed. Careful honey, careful, watch your step here.' Padme thought and Soara nodded to that.
"Annie, he created that for her, as a going away present, but a permanent link now, he….., he gave her his heart." Soara said softly and Mace nodded gently. "Not old friends, she becomes the Naboo senator next and is on the Capitol, we get to see her all the time now. As we knew in advance that friendship turned to love and they became engaged after the attack on her." Tiana said to Mace and Adi and they both nodded smiling gently as they knew he was in love with her.
"The ones that know the most are the 8 of us, Clee and Garen." Adi said smiling and he nodded gently in agreement. "We knew in advance that they were betrothed, but there it is, we know in advance, so while Qui' and Obi-wan have the search, Siri and I got protection duty. And the radio is off till he pages Annie, and we go from there, the plan and trap is set." she added and Mace nodded, as he exchanged looks with Yoda, Kit and Ki then and they both nodded then.
"He's telling us that's a promise bracelet, or in this case a necklace, he gave her his heart, not attachment, he's in love with her." Mace said and Yoda nodded with gentle affection then. "Just wait till her side gets the truth and then both sides come together as one. We share the same goal, as his time as Chancellor should have ended after we hit the peak of whatever struggle. That we got, but before he goes on bodyguard duty we got to check on Shmi now, in truth."
"So the investigation is the Jinn/Kenobi team, my unit has protection duty, and he's checking in with Mother and me, before switching planets." Siri said and Mace, Adi and Yoda nodded smiling in agreement then. "Making adjustments, before he falls asleep on the job, after a double shift right now, so…., yes, protection duty means medical sabbatical. As she's on vacation, he's on sabbatical, and the radio is off till he decides to switch planets." Adi said and Yoda nodded then.
"But not Anakin, not Anakin, for now, my name is Annie, if you hear the Queen calling me that, it's because she and my mother, my friends and mentors. They can continue using my nickname if they want, Annie for now, that's short for Anakin by the way. But this is the name I will use till I'm 18 and then, if they want to keep using it, that's fine with me, they can." he said and both groups exchanged smiles at the news, knowing the boy they knew would never change now.
'Annie, my Annie.' Padme Amidala thought, smiling as he looked over his shoulder at her and she smiled as he gave her a reassuring smile. 'Nothing's changed my Angel, nothing ever will, I promise, I will keep in touch and keep coming back to see you. I promise my love, you're my everything.' she saw in his eyes and she smiled at him. 'Love you too, my Annie.' she thought as Mace hid a smile, knowing what the young couple mentally exchanged.
"Oh boy, he's mentally a 26 year old trapped in the body of a near 10 year old here." Soara said to Adi and she and Damon nodded. "Well I see it clearly, putting faces to names, he met me, Kit, Yaddle, Ki, and Mace already, but it's the 5 of you and Winna he doesn't know yet. But as we're here for a couple days till we head home, then he has the time to get to know you. Before our team quartet is assembled and he's in late creche training." she said and Yoda nodded gently.
"The voice of a 25 year old padawan, trapped in the body of a near 10 year old now, grown more mature, since the testing he has and become everything. That wanted him to be from an out of the temple raised, he has now." Yoda said and she nodded in agreement. "We stick with the plan here, that though Qui' has him for regular training and I got him. For Master Guardian Master?" she asked and he nodded. "Indeed, stick to plan, we do." he said and she nodded then.
"As of right now, we're friends, her and me, we stay in touch with each other, as of right now, my parents get to see me after 6 months of training, every month after this. As of right now, every thing that the Jedi offers in careers, I am taking right now, I get picked or I don't. But either way, I got a life to return to and I keep my lightsaber as well too, but clearly. As of right now, I'm on the edge of 10, just a child still, a youngling, that why grow up that fast right now."
"But as of right now, still a youngling, so Annie, in the case of the order, till I'm 20 here now, but where growing up is concerned. I want to enjoy being a padawan, a youngling of 10 to 17 years old, as long as possible." Anakin said sternly and Palpatine swallowed hard at that. "But with being only 9, barring 10, in theory, in their eyes, I am a padawan, actuality. It's I am only a youngling, I need rest and food here in the eyes of my mentors, but you think they're going to."
"In truth take it lightly, I lost 10lbs being trapped on a planet in constant war, and my return mission has the minor missions going non stop. Till a rescue of a friend of mine in my class finally lays me out after a near drowning. Said that drains the last of my strength and the water is ice cold right now?" he asked and Mace crossed his arms. "That happens and whoever it is that caused it is getting diced, once was enough in my eyes." Mace said and Yoda nodded then.
"Thank gods we got a swimming pool at the temple, he can learn to swim, but the lake in the room of a thousand fountains is 25ft deep in the middle. That for Mon Calamari it's not a problem, but humans we need the re-breathers to get down that deep. But he took his epithet just a little far here, nearly scaring us into a coronary next by that point after getting down that deep." Winna said and Mace and Yoda nodded in agreement to that as they exchanged looks.
"I met a Darth Plaeguis the wise, before Father and the queen dropped in a week later, care to tell me if there is any theory connected to him. Because with my father alive, said carrot offered is now null and void." he said and he straightened at that. "I…., I do young man." he said shaking and Anakin crossed his arms after clipping his lightsaber to his belt. "If that intel is already in the hands of the Jedi, I can learn it that way, after repeated close calls here now."
"Or just Father getting shot and taken captive by some crazed scientist for the second time in 15 to 18 years right now, and this time we got to rescue another Jedi from this person. Just how many times can you try this till they finally had it with you right now. They maybe my mentors, but currently they're my legal guardians when I'm on the capitol. That they got to rescue us, how many times can they do this before they had enough, that's Master Yoda, Father, Mother."
"Master Windu and their padawans, let alone Master Windu's counterpart counselor, I should enjoy these years while I got the time to. But whoever you're in league with if you are the Sithmaster, if we found this on you, you're just diminishing your chances at your position. But how soon, before we realize, Darra, my best friend, my best female friend now in truth. Was the bait, before mom and Darra combine together for said brush." he said and the man went white.
'Got'cha, my lord.' Obi-wan thought, seeing the look of fear on Palpatine's face at that and Yoda hid a nod to that response sternly. "But you think he doesn't know this, if you insured Father was killed, cut us off from each other, separate us and then you reveal yourself. Before you force the council to try and mutiny, and we all know that means treason, you can disband us. For an attempted assassination attempt here on you, but no, nice try, Master, Mace, Obi-wan and me."
"We can change that to you just tried to kill me, after this conversation and test goes in reverse, but your feeble attempts are no match for the power of good and light. But there is no light or dark, there is only the force, the force is what keeps me balanced. I see the mental trap easily, if things were in reverse, you expose yourself to me, try to force me into it. And before I turn you in, I try to arrest you myself, but you almost kill me by blasting me into the wall here."
"Of your office at the arena, as that final blow to the head finishes it off and they tried to arrest you, that gets us out of treason. As the Alliance decides on a vote of no confidence in you, like you did with Valorum." he said and Padme crossed her arms. 'Choose the second option, we do, not losing you my padawan, not to him, don't change, Annie. Never, never change, stay you forever.' Yoda thought sternly, knowing he was telling him the true meaning of the prophecy.
"But Mace, Obi-wan and Master Yoda know this, fully human I got a power advantage on you, trapped in that suit, you got one on me, and my son. Now added to my strength, as the latest member of my unit, and you're never surviving this. As your only weapon is the force lightening, you're too old for sparring, and with said lightsabers. But your body is thoroughly battered and decayed, so what happens if we both go against you and my baby brother, huh, what exactly."
"I know it, you know it, and even better, is the council, Obi-wan and my wife's friends in the loyalist committee know it, but when trapped like that here now. You got one on me, fully human and I got one on you, and add my entire family to it. That's my kids, and you're never going to survive this right no, you think I don't know that you. If you're the master of the one that just tried to kill my father, you went to a rule of two, well you're wrong I do know that."
"But always two there are, no more, no less, a master and apprentice." he said and Mace crossed his arms as he got what he was saying then. "Rule of two, there was a rule of two, but the prophecy stated now, is the chosen one brings balance, to translate is the peace has been so long there is and needs. Now to be a time war, the Jedi have been in power so long, the Sith will return, as both sides had nearly wiped each other out till there were only two of each."
"But my brother is going to be the one to do it, not me, I'm a Jedi to the end." he said and Mace nodded as he got it then. "But I guess the plan, eliminate the one that had the power to keep me a Jedi, till the time is right then drag up some Sith legend. To entice by thoughts of saving my family, I have to choose, stay a Jedi and let the vision play out. Or do something about it, and it destroys everything I ever set out to accomplish, but nice try, Father is alive here."
"Father is alive, I stay a Jedi, and you have to choose a new applicant." he said and his eyes landed on a bulge in his robes. "Oh, what do we have here, excuse me, my Lord, but you left yourself exposed." he said as he felt a giant pulse of icy coldness, coming from a bulge in his robes and he mentally yanked a long cylinder, a foot long with a red button. As he pointed it away from his face, turned it on and a red flash shot out of the polished disk at that response.
And the Jedi all jerked in shock at that. "Red laser, well that defeats the purpose, you say I can trust you, but this color blade contradicts that remark. Where did you get this from exactly, as only Dark Jedi, Nightbrothers and Sisters, or Sith, carry this color." he said and turned it off as he gave it to Obi-wan and he mentally crushed the crystal at that. "It's not mine!" Palpatine said quickly and Anakin crossed his arms. "Where you get it from?" he said and he swallowed hard.
"You either are a Dark Jedi, Sith associated, or you are the Sith himself, the mentor of the one that just tried to kill my father. But if you are, you just been made, my lord, you lost, you lost this, before you even met me, you lost this war. And before you could put your plan into place where that plan depends on me taking what you offered. And after offering a hand in friendship, but I'm sorry my lord, my mother said anyone interested in my power, is off limits here now."
"She knows the Jedi, after meeting Father, but she doesn't know you, so off limits, from this point forward, stay away from me." he said sternly to him then. "Whoa, Annie, don't over do it." they heard and Mace locked gazes with Dack Panaka and he nodded. 'Close call, he's venting the level of anger at whoever sent that Zabrak after you and nearly killed both Qui-Gon and the queen.' he said and they nodded as Sio Bibble crossed his arms at that and the queen nodded.
"So that's what it means, we practically wiped them out, and now it's their turn, the translation could mean there was anyway to do it, but for him now. He can make an alteration as all, but three go Grey Jedi, and leaving only 2 or 3 on both sides, and we've been in a peaceful period so long the balance is out of whack, and the next however many years of war put it back into balance." Adi said to Yoda and he nodded as Damon crossed his arms at the remark sternly.
"Nice way to translate cub, we needed that intel." Ki said to that and Mace nodded in agreement to that. "More insight then we were expecting, but he's better then both Grandmasters were expecting to know and translate what it really means now at that." Kit said in response as she nodded. "He is the chosen one, but what is that supposed to mean, chosen for what, aside from destroying them, what is this, what is he meant to do?" Soara asked and they heard it then.
"I suppose you never considered this right now, well let me elaborate, if my other counselor's padawan now considered this a Jedi dynasty, but I get an appointment to the council. Then my chair on the council becomes my throne, when I retire, I pass my chair to my oldest son. Who then passes it to his and so on." he said and Yoda nodded to the translation. "What it also means is I become the first ever to go to, come back and live to tell about it and train others."
"I don't suppose you considered that the term chosen one now, means something else, I could be meant for something else, as say in addition. To the second in command of the council he, that's the grandmaster, had his own right hand here in his other second in command, said is to be the youngest. Now of the council and said is meant to train other Jedi turned and back again, in addition, to being the one that in time becomes a member of the council permanently."
"My lord, say my family is meant to be the ones to bring balance to the force, change the code, and most of all is the start of a Jedi Dynasty, my bloodline. Is the strongest in the order, as the years go by, the male heir is now the one who gets my chair on the council, before passing it to his own son. Who passes it to his own and a Skywalker is forever a member of the Jedi council in the decades and centuries ahead now?" he asked and they watched him pale further at that.
"Yeah okay, thank you for elaborating that." Winna said with a bemused smile and Mace hid a chuckle at the remark. "Cubs, well cub clearly knows what we're thinking to answer any and all questions, we need on what the prophecy is really trying to tell us here. But something still doesn't make sense, what's the image on what the Keganites told me and Qui'?" Adi said, before they got the answer to that question from her cub padawan as Yoda shook his head smiling.
"What the future holds could be something that either prophecized or worse right now, was self full-filling prophecy, but the army of whatever dressed color armor there is. Lead by a character cloaked in black carrying a red lightsaber, up against a group of freedom fighters. Lead by a brother/sister duo, the girl's husband and his friends, a duo of droids. That's the future brought about by the so called downfall of the Jedi and the Old republic, and the army's commander."
"That could be you my lord, as your features were distorted by force lightning, you are the Sithmaster and leader of the dictatorship my children and others hate now." he said and Yoda and Adi nodded. "There we go, that answers it, all of it now, could be the phantom menace, the elusive evil that Obi-wan mentioned, he could be now. And been standing in front of us, all this time, he has now, again, thank you for translating Qui-Gon and Adi's concerns for us, Padawan."
"But correct you are, Qui-Gon, studied that power he did, give it to you safely, we will." Yoda said gently to that. "Okay, okay, so we put him on the council, that becomes his throne, and when the time comes to retire, so he can go back to teaching. He passes it to his first born son, who, once he retires, passes it to his own and it goes down the bloodline. As well as he becomes the first ever to go to, come back and live to tell about it, the knowledge of the ages now."
"Yeah that's enough to scare the force out of him, a Skywalker is on the council, but the Skywalkers are the strongest family we have in the Jedi order now, Master." Kit said and Adi nodded. "Jedi Dynasty, meaning in that alleged other time-line, we put him on the council, his chair and appointment to the council now there. Could be seen as monarchy, and the first born son in the family name gets the chair next followed by the next Skywalker right now, okay."
"That makes plenty of sense, he's the youngest of the council, after 40 years, he passes his chair to his son, and who then passes it to his own now here. That we always had a Skywalker on the council from the time of the whatever happened for the next few hundred years." Adi said to Yoda and he nodded. "Right hand to the grandmaster, he is, the Skywalker bloodline is meant to be now." Yoda said and Mace and Adi both nodded in amazement to that news then.
"There it is, I'm 46, 13 years and I'm 59, and I've got another 24 years, before I retire and he takes my place as your second in command as you also retire. As a Jedi master, said it yourself, for 800 to 900 years you've trained Jedi, but time to retire now. And you pass leadership of the council to me, and he's my right hand as you're retired as the grandmaster. I take your place and he's in mine now, as second in command." he said and Yoda nodded in amazement to that.
"Like Qui-Gon and the queen, her crew and bodyguard, got to know him, and love him we do, our star pupil, first born child. And in out of temple raised, that no wrong in our eyes, he could do now." Yaddle said smiling and Yoda nodded gently then. "Indeed and want my padawan Sith, then through me you will go starting now." he said sternly as he looked at his student with love in his eyes then and Anakin nodded gently to him then as he went further then to Palpatine.
"But why, why should I want to rush training, I spent all my life at their sides, but mentally I know I'm ready for the trials, but emotionally, still a cub. I'm not ready to let go, I don't just want to leave my mentor, not yet, but why, why would want to grow up. When all that brings is pain and suffering, enjoy being a cub and a padawan while it last right now. But what you would have offered, is in their hands, so try all you want, I belong to them." he said and Yoda smiled.
As Obi-wan ran his hand through Anakin's hair and he leaned his head against his side gently at that in response as Mace hid a smile then. "Yeah, in one change we got to him first and he is completely comfortable with us, but that's what Thracia and I would tell him. Why would you even want to grow up so fast as that just brings more pain and heart break. Enjoy training and being a padawan, or a cub now, while it lasts, there we go he made my point perfectly."
"We and Qui' over did it right now, but I think we trained him a little too well now." Mace said with a chuckle and Yoda nodded with an amused smile at his opinion then at his remark. "Yeah he's been listening to us and Thracia way too much lately." Damon said smiling gently to that remark then. "But the people that raised me, trained me, taught me everything in my life that is worth knowing, you think I would ever leave them, that fast right now."
"Guess again, I made my choice and that choice is the council, father, mother, Siri and Obi-wan now, so you failed, everything you would try to fill my head with. It won't work, not when I know there is only one thing I have that gives me a reason to change back. And that is my family, but my family is your biggest enemy, to you, the big victory, is having a padawan as strong as I am turn to the darkside and become your apprentice."
"But with you in 32 to 36 years right now, the only weapon you have left is the force lightning, the council, and Obi-wan are too old to fight it out with you. So who does that leave as my powers are stronger then both of you together." he said and Yoda nodded. "That leaves the only member of us right now not over 50, the Skywalker Clan." Mace said sternly and Adi and the duo nodded in agreement as the quartet crossed their arms.
"But sure, though I didn't take lightsaber training, not yet, but in all truth that doesn't matter, just one nudge from my parental mentors and already. Now, I'm this powerful here, but the door just slammed shut, I'm a Jedi, like my father, before me. Take a shot with that force lightning at me, I dare you." he said sternly and they saw Palpatine shaking in fear. "He does and we got him now." Adi said to Mace and he nodded sternly.
"Want to play your card too soon, don't try bluffing to high up or you lose your money, and you did by that remark you said to me. But before I met you for real, the window just slammed shut, the council and Master Yoda got to me first. And hear I am now, not afraid of my powers and I now have my true color, I'm a cub version of Master Windu. But every generation in my partner pair up is a master guardian, I'm one of them."
"You failed my lord, before you could even attempt this, I connected to the council and my unit and slammed the door shut. The window between whether an out of temple raised padawan chooses either side: good or evil, the window just closed. I'm one of them now." he said as he turned it off and hooked it to his belt. "But father, mother, Master Windu, Masters Damon and Tiana, Obi-wan, Siri, Ry and Soara, Lana."
"I got a sister three years older, my Jedi mother and father and brother and sister, family of 6 in immediate Jedi family, and the extended is 7 members. And I love them, they're my family, so you think that the 7 won't protect me from you. Starting now as father is recovering, hmm, you really thinking they won't, you think the link was formed. Well it did, my brother is Jedi Kenobi, my sister, Jedi Tachi." he said and he swallowed hard.
"This is a training lightsaber, my lord, so where's your's hmm, is the one I took from you the only one, the anger in your eyes, you don't see what I do, but your eyes are flashing with a yellow light right now." he said and Mace's eyes narrowed as he looked at that as he saw the brown lighten to a very light brown that matched Damon's robes. "Good catch there baby, pull it you're finished." Siri said sternly at that. "He's furious here." Adi said to Mace and he nodded.
"Well that's one way to do it, by antagonizing him right now." Mace said as he crossed his arms then, as Yoda gently nudged him mentally and they felt a strong pulse of love answer the nudge and they smiled at that as he said it gently to him then. 'He's too late Master, you're my mentor I love you guys, just a few days the connection slammed shut. He's too late, you win, you gave me what I needed.' they heard softly and the group smiled gently.
And at that response. "I never have to change as one of the lucky ones is my father is the Jedi master that trained in said skill you would have offered me. So I have no need to trust you right now, or believe anything you say to me, but Father is alive. I have what I need, and I'm secured firmly in the lightside now, so to the Jedi it's a win/win now. The group that arrived are my team quartet, my family." he said, dropping the bomb then.
And he paled at that as he looked up and saw Mace with his eyes on him sternly at that remark. 'Nice work baby, you're doing great right now, just control your temper, it's okay.' Winna thought to him gently as she felt a gentle pulse in response as he looked into her eyes and he smiled at her then. "But the bad first impression gave way to a very good second impression and instead of hiding anything, I told them everything now."
"That they need to manage with me being their first out of the temple born padawan, as I get lessons they don't teach till one on one starts. But what just a single mental conversation causes, but just say you delay me and from my helping my mother. You thinking they won't feel the power blast from 10 planets over and know something. Now happened for them to even feel that right now?" he asked and they saw him go white.
"But that mind to mind link slammed the door shut, I connected to the council and the rest of my team quartet. Master Yoda got to me first, before you could interfere, but I'm his padawan, so you got a fight on your hands no matter what you do." he said and Yoda and Mace nodded in agreement to that. "Indeed, got to Anakin first I did, before interfere you can Chancellor, he is my padawan, love him I do." he said sternly with a smile then.
"Talk about a total role reversal, if this was reversed that blown interview left the bad first impression in place as we didn't know what to make of him. But now that he actually called out to us, the tables have turned." Mace said and Adi, Damon and Tiana nodded then, as he looked at them smiling. "Yeah bad first impression, now very good second and we all love him as well, he wants him, he's going though us starting now, guys."
"But really who is he kidding, we just gave him what he needed, he's never going to turn on us now." Tiana said and Mace and Damon nodded in agreement then as Obi-wan left his hand on Anakin's shoulder and with a protective and gentle smile in his own eyes. "Baby come on, I get you're frustrated, but that's like poking a krayt dragon when he's asleep, tone it down, before you get barbecued." Padme's pilot said gently at that then.
"Just who are you kidding right now my lord, hmm, I know this, take what a darksider offers you, you belong to them after that, you think I learned nothing from them. Well I have now, I did learn plenty, but I hate my powers at times, I hate my title. And most of all I hate my sensitivity to the force, so tell me, what good are the powers you offer. If they can't be used to save my loved ones, and they die anyway, of a broken heart."
"In later years, Padme, my girlfriend as a padawan, mom and my female friends in both groups, they'd all say this, the only way they could die is if they lost me. To the darkside, so no, it won't happen, I'm everything they want me to be and in later years. I become like one man, but a mixture of three now, my mentor and parental now." he said and Obi-wan smiled at the declaration then as Mace hid a chuckle at the remark then.
"As powerful as me and Qui' and as wise as Master, he's never been more thankful to be our padawan now." he said, translating and Yoda nodded with a thankful smile as Obi-wan ran his fingers through the hair at the back of his head gently. And Anakin looked up at him smiling and he looked at him with a brotherly smile then. "Yeah he's everything we wanted him to be right now, the boy we all love." Damon said with a chuckle then.
As Anakin mentally shoved Palpatine away from him then and he nodded as he turned and looked at the kids behind him. "Not us, my lord, him." a 13 year old said and he looked at Anakin then. "Warning, don't push me, I maybe a cub padawan, but I have no full control yet, remember, at this age it's one of four things could happen." he said and the security nodded as they yanked the power packs out of their blasters then quickly.
And set them on safety mode. "Nice warning baby, the last thing we need is you to lose your temper and it causing a blaster to go off right now." Winna said in response as the security exchanged relieved look he reminded them of that remark. Just as the speeder jumped three feet off the floor a few yards away from them and they nodded. "Well at least that wasn't the blaster." Mace said in relief and she and Adi nodded gently then.
"The gun on top of the speeder no less right now." she said, before he closed his eyes and the pistol pointed straight up. "Oh gods, everyone move now!" Panaka shouted out as it went off at that as the laser landed on the fountain as he tried to tried to calm down at that. "Jeez, My lord are you trying to kill us here, he's a padawan who never gained full control here yet!" The pilot snapped in fury at that response and he paled at that.
Just as the water in the fountain exploded in response. "Yeah I call that this man is clearly testing his patience right now, he wants to talk to us. And now that the door just slamned shut and he's trying to delay so he can offer a hand in friendship and Annie's not budging." Soara said and Mace and Damon nodded. "My lord we can discuss this later, but you're delaying a need to talk to our mentors." Obi-wan said sternly to him then.
"Indeed, we can discuss this later, I need to talk to my quartet right now, and you're pressing my patience a little too far right now." Anakin said sternly with a warning tone. "Little over confident here are we, that you're hoping your plan to get me on your side works, well you're gambling too highly on that. I know this, that Sith let their students run wild, a Jedi gives their padawans something solid to stand on right now in truth."
"But sure I met my team enroute to Coruscant, but the bond between us is more then friends or brothers, we're two sides of the same warrior right now. His Style is completely matched to mine in combat, but still very close bond, the one man who is my life line. Just what would give me a reason to never trust you now, why I'd never listen to you now, it's because who is the one always talking some sense into me now in truth."
"Before I break, hmm, who, well that man is the very man who's standing next to me, I never needed another reason to trust anything you say. He and his mentor, my father, I have a way to remain focused and it's because before you arrived. That he passed me this, as a way to keep me connected to him." he said, yanking out a gem out of his pocket that was the same sapphire blue of Obi-wan lightsaber then and Mace nodded.
Just as they saw a stone in his hand as well and then smiled. "The river stones, Qui-Gon grabbed two of them and planned to pass the second. And to whoever his cub padawan was going to be, Anakin is the cub padawan." Adi said smiling, as she got it then. "Well that says it all, a way to link us together, keep him focused in case it happens again. The boys just gave us the forward approach now." Tiana said in response to that gently.
"So this is the little boy who is my baby brother, yeah I am never leaving him alone on a planet that dangerous, yes he's a padawan, in theory, but in reality. He's a just turned 12 year old who's having his balance messed with, going to be okay, baby. Gods Lana finds out she's going to kill whoever suggests that, and this happens. And after my undercover mission with Krayne, I'm really going to be ticked." Siri told them and they nodded then.
"I'll train him till your mission comes to it's conclusion and then send him in after you." Adi said to her and she nodded gently. "Face his past and this character dies at the hand of a once slave turned Jedi now. But killing in self defense is not against the Jedi code, if said opponent still has a weapon on him." Mace said in response. "Honey, your mission is next year, but one year with both of us and then you got your undercover mission."
"He knows what you're doing, but let us know when you're ready for us to come get you, Siri." Adi said to her and she nodded, as she mentally nudged him and he tried to keep the smile off his face in response. "Baby come on, I get it, but always remember, what is seen here is not always what is true. I'm undercover, but your nightmare as an ex slave is my mission, I'll be fine, when ready, come get me." Siri said softly then to him then.
'You're getting inside information on Krayne?' he thought back to her and she nodded. 'Yeah, but it's 2.5 years, at year 3 when you're ready for your lightsaber my mission ends and you come in after me. But just be careful what you say, as we wait for Obi-wan to come after us and then the mission. Now, turns into an arrest operation, but he tries to run hold him till we get there, if need be pull it.' she thought back to him then.
As Anakin looked passed him and looked into her eyes with a look of brotherly love and she smiled at him and he smiled back at her. "We maybe Jedi, but we're human, and we grow attached to our padawans here. But there it is, but in theory we're Jedi, in reality for those of us who are human, or humanoid. We love our students like our own children, in this case, he's been adopted, foster family." Mace said in response then gently to her.
"But Xanatos crossed us, if whoever was connected to him does that, I reached my limit, once is enough already, Anakin knows better." Damon said and Anakin nodded to him gently. 'I do, try going into the shaft it could cave and come down, telekinesis.' he thought back to them. 'Before you try that, you need to exercise force lifting before you try something that heavy cub, your body is exhausted, if you get stuck there.'
'On that planet, before you come home, you're in no condition for this if you try it all at once, baby.' Tiana thought to him and they heard a sigh. 'I know I'm in no condition, I'm 12, but their lives for mine, no choice necessary, Master. Selfless to a fault, you know this, I never left you, I was ordered to, so not the same thing here.' he thought to them and Damon ran his hand through his hair then at the remark.
'We know baby, but the trauma that comes with this after 3 possible kills in 3 years this next one screwing with your normal side. And before you joined us is enough to scare us out of our wits now, your brother suffered that lapse and broke. And before Bruck was the effect, your brother's version of your friend Amee, she was barely killed. And that went into the fight, be careful and focus.' Adi said and he nodded to her gently then.
"You're too late, I belong to Master Yoda, I made my choice, but are you ready to fight the system over me, and when my ways come from outside of the republic, huh. That it my lord, you were already too late right now in truth, I was a padawan, and I helped kill the Zabrak. that stabbed my father, so you want to press your luck, if you and the Sithmaster are one. And the same, but as the Sith are back, Sithlords are our speciality, Sir, are our speciality now in truth?"
"Guess you can't take a hint here right now, but what if what I told you, what I'm about to, was not theoretical, but practical, that I'm not who you think I am?" he asked and Padme and Obi-wan exchanged knowing looks then as they watched him pale at that. "So sure, she's a queen turned senator, I'm a Jedi, doesn't matter, both sides learn the truth. They won't mind if we tell them immediately as our sides become one now finally."
"But just why would we become one now, hmm why exactly?" he asked and Mace answered that. "To rid this galaxy of our biggest enemy right now, tried to wipe out the Jedi, killed a few hundred billion people. We all had a reason to hate that enemy and it's because he nearly destroyed the family. Of the couple we both love, and you're it, both sides had a reason to hate the Sith, they took you away from us, in that time line."
"The Sith and the dictatorship destroyed everything we love, we will not stop till we avenge your family, if that's what happened." he said and Palpatine swallowed hard. "The Jedi and the delegation of 2,000 who right now are the Loyalist committee. Are friends and comrades in arms, we share the same goal, to rid this galaxy of the Sith. And bring peace, order and freedom to it once again, but when it was born, so were my children."
"A new hope for the Rebellion Alliance and Jedi order, you see it's not just me you're afraid now, not just me as I am, but my family." he said and Palpatine went white then. "But I'm not a neophyte padawan at all, but a Jedi Master in my youngling body, I've seen the damage. Now, that being associated with the darkside causes and my babies freed me from your clutches?" he asked and he swallowed hard at that remark in shock.
"Do you realize who you're screwing with here, my lord, do you, there are things on this life I know that I intend to teach my son as he grows. But the godparents just so happen to be Obi-wan and Siri, you think the council won't take direct action. Just to protect my kids from you?" he asked sternly and Mace and Damon nodded sternly. "To them there was a single chance to get rid of you and free me and it's by my children in truth now."
"But stuck in the suit you would put me in, you got a power advantage on me, once my powers plateau now after defeating your pawn now finally here. But fully human now, and a full grown adult no older then Master Windu, I got one on you right now. And with my son added to my powers you're done for, you would never win against us. But the council is too old and your only power as you're not able to use your lightsaber skills."
"Is the force lightning right now, but fully human, the very thing holding me to the light is my family is alive now. Master Yoda, I love him, love, honor, respect, I never let him down before I will not start now, but I stay with him, my powers save millions, join you. It's a massacre waiting to happen and I am not letting it now, but in truth, my lord. So again now, what if I am not who and what you think I am here right now, in fact I am not what you expect."
"As I said you ever consider the fact the force decided to show me what could happen if I ever consorted with you, and showing me the results here. As I see it destroy my family, my children are orphans, they got to depend on each other. And my daughter is scared out of her mind if I could go, then her brother, her brother could turn. As her children, my grandchildren, and the force throws me back to this week, you remember that conversation?" he asked and he nodded.
"That conversation laid the possibility that you had me as your apprentice, and joining together, with my son, we destroy the Sith ourselves now. As the prophecy is complete, I followed my destiny, and I finished what Mace and Master Yoda started. Where you're concerned, twice they tried it and failed, you let your guard down, and the ending results are, with you focused on my son, I have you where I want you." he said and the older man swallowed hard at that news.
"Well I wasn't exaggerating Chancellor, here I am, the force threw me back to this week, when I met that Jedi, my brother and my wife: Padme is my wife." he said and he paled in shock at that news. "Yeah you heard me right, Padme is my wife, she and I married at the start of the war in that time-line, but thing of it is, double lives destroys a Jedi. But no two sides about it right now starting now, I will not lie to my mentors, they already know this we made that choice."
"But at the current moment, everyone from your planet now knows this, I'm the future husband of their queen." he said raising his tone, and Mace saw her entourage all nodded as every spectator also gave a nod. And she hid a smile at the live broadcast, to everyone listening to their conversation. "Little catch, that I didn't know a keypoint here, but turns out we got four Jedi who are married and with families of their own, my own emotional healer's one of them."
"So we are allowed to have a life outside of the Jedi, we just got to alert the council it happened and I plan to, after my mandate with your future senator. Now said is over, but once done we're going public, that the senator of Naboo and a future member of the council are married, and we bring us together. Both sides, as her own grouping is the Loyalist committee, who in later years become your non force sensitive enemies." he said and Palpatine paled at the remark then.
"Together, they, the Loyalist Committee and our parents will know we married, and in later years be expecting, but the adopted grandparents now in truth. Said are my own parental mentors, I'm not who you thought I was, I am a just returned from the darkside Jedi Master, my lord, but believe it or not now. This lead to a very dangerous mistake for you now, as he knows, I told him everything in that time-line before you wiped out the council and your fight."
"I know what you are, I know who you are, and I turned that into the council in the second my adult mind got thrown back to this week." he said and he paled at that news in shock then in fear. "You see, I knew there was a reason not to trust you when you said that, telling this to them I considered that thought, of it now. In what could happen if I trusted you, and now that I saw that future, every piece of intel on that future was passed to the council, to Master himself."
"With it now, Master Yoda knows everything and you were too late to get to me a second time, I belong to him now, and I never lied to him before. And I will not start now, so try all you want in my case, I won't do it, but keep it up, and you're gaining his ire next, my lord, but I am not what you think I am. I am a just returned from the Darkside Jedi Master, I am his right hand and I am a Jedi to the end, you lost." he said and he swallowed hard at that remark.
"So answer this, what's going to happen now, that I tore the card meant to create your house of sabbacc cards out and cause it to come down now here. As all your plans depended on me trusting you, and taking your offers of power. But now that I got everything I need from the Jedi you just tried to kill here. Now what exactly, as I'm one of them, now and forever." he said and they watched the fear in him start growing as he broke out in a sweat at that news then.
"But Father is alive, the me of that time-line, before I turned into a Sithlord is back, but I don't suppose you considered our exchange now in truth here. Is said exchange between us, before my alter ego knocked me into a coma, I was ready to turn you into them." he said, pointing at Mace and Kit and he swallowed hard. "But what if that theory turns real, hmm what then exactly in your case, you barely know me, they're getting to know me fast now here in truth."
"I don't have to hide anything from them about Padme and my engagement, us having children, or us joining both sides together as my twins now here. They are me and my wife in everything that counts, my son is like me, my daughter like her mother and if they hear the truth, you only gave more of a reason here. For them to kill you, and the Alliance with them as we and what's left of the Jedi destroys you ourselves?" he said to him sternly and Mace nodded firmly.
"I'm a twin, my brother is just as powerful as I am, but Father is alive, and I'm learning this skill from him as I grow up, so lost cause, I'm a Jedi to the end." he said and they saw a look of fury in his eyes. "You failed your excellency, I am a Jedi, like my father before me, there are hundred of force sensitives that can serve your master or you, why are you so interested in me?" he asked and Mace crossed his arms, knowing that was good reason not to trust the man.
