"Could it be part of the mission that the Force gave them?"
"It could indeed be part of that"
"They're not going to be happy if that's the case"
"No they're not, but the Force wouldn't do this without a reason"
"What I am wondering is why the Force brought them back if the Republic is simply going to turn into an Empire again"
Qui-Gon was there though with an answer
"Simple, because the Force wants more Jedi to survive the slaughter that Sidious did, and while some things can't change there are things that can and will change and as such the reason why they were brought back in the first place with their memories"
Suddenly a few students were brought in with relatively minor injuries, but only relatively in the fact that several of the Healers had seen worse in the front lines
"What happened?"
"John and I were training when I did a flip wrong and landed on my foot wrong twisting my ankle, John volunteered to bring me here, these two apparently tried to wake a Padawan who just came back from the front lines two days ago"
"What were you two thinking disobeying temple rules, those rules were placed for your safety"
"But why? I want to know why we can't simply visit our friend anymore"
Qui-Gon takes this one
"Because young one, your friend has seen so much that even in his sleep he's ready for an attack at any time, he might have trained his brain to recognize that he's in the Temple and as such might not necessarily need his weapon but sometimes if a weapon is too far or you somehow lose your lightsaber you go hand to hand with the enemy and those skills are very much ingrained to be used at need, just the slightest touch could set someone off if they're asleep"
"That's exactly what happened Master Qui-Gon"
"I think the younger initiates need a reminder of Temple rules and why they're in place"
Meanwhile the three that were connected originally were in a white place with the Force talking to them and then they talking together to make plans that they would include the others that were part of the bond in
"Palpatine is making secret clones at another location and those clones have the order. I can't do anything about those clones"
"Maybe we should inform the Kamino clones so that they can start preparing for that day"
"That's a good idea though they won't like it, plus the other clones might suspect that the Jedi aren't really dead"
"That's why the bullets will have life suppressors"
"Like the one you took for the Hardeen mission?"
"Exactly"
"Enemies the clones will be if left behind they are"
"Some might just volunteer knowing the risks of being killed by their own allies in order to allow the Rebel Alliance to flourish in secret"
"But will those left behind understand, especially Slick?"
"That's something we'll simply have to find out later"
"Bail is not going to like this news"
"Neither is Padme Obi-wan"
"At least Palpatine doesn't know the truth, this is just a contingency plan for him"
"Good point, we're going to have to keep it that ways too"
"So when are we going to wake up?"
"Pretty soon I suspect"
The three wake up to concerned Healers and Windu
"What happened?"
"Sorry Master Windu, that was unplanned but needed, Qui-Gon get Bail and Ashoka and let them know the six of us are meeting in Yoda's quarters"
"Understood Obi-wan"
"Obi-wan should I get Padme?"
"Not yet, she's actually coming later today so we'll tell her then"
"Okay then, let's hope we remember"
Two hours later the six people that needed to meet at the moment were in Yoda's quarters
"What is it?"
"Sidious is making secret clones that have Order 66 in them and you know what that means Bail"
"They'll kill you once the order is activated"
"Exactly, now then Obi-wan, Yoda and I have a plan but you're not going to like it and as such we might not do it"
"What's the plan?"
"Have volunteer clones fake our deaths and then stay with the Empire doing what they can to sabotage without risking their lives"
"Which means that they'll be at risk of being killed by their allies"
"Which is why we're going to ask for volunteers and actually depending on what the Force says deny volunteers"
"While I may not like the plan it makes the most sense, I'm in"
Everyone agrees to the plan and so they then discuss how to alert the clones to the situation without alerting Palpatine
"Masters I have a question about all of this"
"What is it Ashoka?"
"How can we be sure that Palpatine doesn't know that we're aware of his plans? I mean if he has access to the dark side of the Force then how is it not alerting him to the plans of the light side of the Force?"
Anakin sighs as he realizes he has to reveal something to the whole group, something he kept secret
"Because of something I do once a month Ashoka"
"What do you mean Anakin?"
"Obi-wan, you know how once a month no matter what is going on with the war I meditate for a whole day?"
"Yes, Rex mentioned that once and how you weren't happy with him interrupting your meditation, he said that the one time was the last time"
"There's something you don't know about the mission given to us by the Force, something that was added right after mom died. You see I was asleep after having lost mom a second time and properly grieving when the Force spoke to me in my sleep. It gave me another mission, I was to use the dark side of the Force through meditation once a month in order to keep Sidious from discovering our true plans as best as possible. The light side of the Force would ground me through the bonds so that I would always remember what I was fighting for. Now then I couldn't keep him from discovering everything but once a month I focus on the big things, like the fact that Padme and I are married with the approval of the Council and as such I won't turn to his side, the fact that we know his true identity and the plans we have in regards to Tython and moving there around the time the war originally ends in full. I can keep him from discovering that we now know his plans about the secret clones with the order still in them"
"Why didn't you tell us before?"
"I couldn't, the Force told me I would know the time to reveal the mission but until that time I was to keep it a secret"
"I guess that's why we never sensed you accessing the dark side of the Force and using our bonds to keep you grounded in the light"
"That's exactly why"
(Sighs) "I can't say I'm happy about this but if the Force gives you a mission than the Force gives you a mission"
A few days later they learn that they were needed on Corellia
"Corellia, that means potentially meeting a nine year old Han Solo"
"Maybe not, but we know we'll meet him again on Tattooine"
"Speaking of just why are we needed on that planet again?"
"We don't know why we're going to be on the planet we just know we are, besides the future is always changing which means we might not meet Han on Tattooine but another place and another time"
"Masters why were you on the planet originally?"
"Ashoka, Obi-wan was on the planet secretly watching over my son while I was else where's being Darth Vader apprentice to Lord Sidious who was in the public known as Emperor Palpatine"
"What did you ever see in that guy?"
"Don't ask Ashoka, it's very, very complicated why I became Vader and followed Sidious in the original time line"
"How complicated could it be?"
"Ashoka, Anakin thought he could trust Palpatine in the original time line, it didn't help that Anakin mistrusted the Jedi Order and had a secret attachment, there's also the fact that I think Palpatine did everything he could to undermine Anakin's training with the Jedi"
"That's certainly true, and in the end it cost the Republic everything for a little over twenty years"
"So Master Obi-wan how did you meet Han Solo?"
"I knew we needed off Tattooine so I went to the only place I could think of that would have a smuggler"
"The catina, you took my son to the catina?"
"That's exactly what I did, also revealed my lightsaber and used a Force suggestion so that we wouldn't be detected that early"
"Why did you go and do an insane thing like that knowing there were Imperials on the planet?"
"Didn't exactly have much choice Anakin, but at least we got off Tattooine though it was a close call and then while in hyperspace I felt the destruction of Alderaan"
"Ultimately ending up on the Death Star and being killed by me...I think"
"Well I certainly distracted you long enough for the group to escape with your daughter"
"And then led Luke to destroy the first death star if what I learned from the Force is correct"
"I'm just surprised he was able to hear me that soon with very little training"
"Didn't you also lead him to Yoda?"
"Yes I did"
"Speaking of which, if that planet is used again I am going to ask Mothma what she was thinking when it came to that planet"
"Actually I think it was Leia who chose that planet"
"What planet?"
"Hoth, they ultimately wound up on Hoth"
"What's so bad about Hoth?"
"It's a frozen wasteland Luke apparently almost died because of the weather"
"The weather and the fact that it was almost night, he's lucky Solo left the base to search for him"
"Either way if it's avoidable I am not having us base our operations on Hoth"
"Agreed"
"Um Masters maybe we should focus on our current mission first"
"Good point Ashoka"
They head to the shuttle that would be taking them to Corellia so that they could do their mission
