Chapter 10
For those who read Adenan the Masterless Padawan: That story and this story is apparently depending on each other, since some plotlines of this story come from the story named. And that story is on hold. Sorry, but I'm having a writer's block for that story.
Wait a minute, it's Chapter 10 that the Balancers are gonna
Adenan was concerned for Master Skywalker. He seemed a little on edge recently, Adenan also sensed the darkness radiating from the Jedi Knight, and that was troublesome, especially for the Jedi.
Adenan was in his room, it was pretty small, but it had a bed, also a wardrobe, and the walls were the same colour as the rest of the former Jedi Temple, white with green swirls. There was also lighting everywhere. Everyone's room was the same
Adenan recently learned that it was Master Skywalker turned dark that killed the entire Jedi Order. And Adenan knew that Anakin would have to face the Emperor, once and for all.
Adenan was just getting ready for that, but it was unclear what the future holds for the Chosen One.
Meanwhile, in another room, Anakin was at a storm of emotions, he would meet his master once again, but this time, as an enemy. Yoda and Master Chi instructed Anakin to think of what type of future he wants for his family, to channel his emotions in a positive way.
It wasn't hard, but darker emotions were invading him, he was at a loss.
"You aren't!" A voice told Anakin, who recognised it immediately. Anakin already knew Force Ghosts from Mortis, so he looked around, using a Force Aura to amplify the presence
"Master Qui-Gon. What do mean, I not?" Anakin asked
"Adenan, destiny chose him to put your destiny on track, whatever circumstance" Qui-Gon answered
"Y'mean, he's a fail safe?" Anakin asked
"No, your son is. He is the one who creates the chain of events that will help you fulfil your destiny" Qui-Gon clarified
"Oh… So you're saying I should depend on my friends?" Anakin asked
"Correct!" Qui-Gon exclaimed "You should tell someone about those dark emotions. Adenan and Master Chi already have knowledge of them"
Anakin thanked Master Qui-Gon, who disappeared. Anakin saw Adenan standing by the corridor with a knowing look. Adenan must've saw it
"Master Qui-Gon's correct you know. You have friends. And plus, I'm all for helping you!" Adenan told Anakin
"Thanks kid!" Anakin replied, only to see Adenan frown
"I don't like being called kid. Call me by my name, or Padawan Kornen" Adenan told Anakin
"Oh… Sorry Adenan" Anakin apologised
"It's okay" Adenan accepted the apology.
Anakin and Adenan both got their lightsabers. This was the first time Anakin noticed Adenan's second lightsaber.
"Hey, Adenan, what's with the second lightsaber?" Anakin asked
"Oh… I managed to get the crystal of this lightsaber" Adenan told Anakin.
He activated his second lightsaber, it was a cylinder, and it had a blade that was very different, it was multiple colours, spiralling, making the blade, the blade was short, the same size as what Ahsoka's second lightsaber was. Adenan swung it, emitting rainbow particles and light,
"When I saved Jemaleia from a massacre of Dark Jedi, the royal family had mistaken me for the leader. So they gave me the rainbow crystal" Adenan recounted
"It's strong in the force!" Anakin noted
"Very. I sometimes use it to prevent myself from getting angry, since the crystal is strong in the light side of the force" Adenan told Anakin, hinting what he could do
Anakin and Adenan checked the time and quickly headed to briefing. They made a plan which started by all of them storming the place where the Emperor's Pod is at it's lowest level, since the Emperor is bound to be there. Few hours later, they discussed all the plans and started heading there. The room was entirely grey, the Senate pod was there, there was a desk and a chair, but the middle of the room was most different, there was an extra control desk. The Balancers stormed the room.
"Lord Vader!" Sidious greeted, turning his chair towards who he thought was Vader "You did not respond to my transmissions for the past few days!"
"It's Anakin, and you are under arrest!" Anakin exclaimed
Adenan had a feeling, so he deviated from the crowd of Jedi and snuck right. The duel started. Many Jedi jumped out of the way, and attacked Sidious at their own respective times. Adenan wasn't the only one who was not duelling, Faro wasn't due to the lack of skill.
Adenan sneaked to the new control table. He saw many suspicious buttons. He saw one that said 'lower cage'. Adenan had a million things in his mind that a Sith would put in a cage. He decided to lower it. The cage lowered dramatically.
"No, No, No!" Sidious screamed "Do you know, what you've done?!"
"I… guess not" Adenan answered, laughing nervously. The cage was lowered to the ground, Chancellor Amidala was seen in the cage
"You caged Padmé?" Anakin angrily asked
"What else do you think I'd do with her?" Sidious scoffed
"Ani! Help!" Padmé exclaimed
"I have to duel Palpatine, Adenan, release her!" Anakin ordered
"I can't allow that to happen!" Sidious exclaimed and aimed force lightning at Adenan
Despite the fact that Adenan had very fast reflexes, it wasn't fast enough for Adenan to block Sidious's lightning. Adenan tried hard not to scream. But it was no use, the pain was agonisingly painful, Adenan felt like he was being incinerated.
"Stop, he's only a child!" Padmé cried out
"Adenan!" Faro exclaimed
"I'll stop him!" Master Chi exclaimed and charged at Sidious "Faro, go release the Chancellor!"
"Yes Master!" Faro tried avoiding the Force Lighting and then, he almost singed his foot, and released Senator Amidala.
Anakin saw Adenan almost disappearing. He knew what to do, but he was too stunned to do anything
Sidious searched Adenan's memories, and found out that the lack of Dark Jedi was thanks to that kid. He became more angry and increased the pain. He was going to kill him!
"You will pay for all those Separatists you've killed!" Sidious exclaimed "You killed them before their usefulness was over!"
"N-no" Adenan panted, and then screamed in pain again "You will!"
Sidious tried to laugh because he thought that made no sense, but before he could do that, Anakin kicked his former Sith Master on the shin, which made him recoil in pain.
"I once told a Dark Jedi that Dooku's Master knew the true power of the dark side, I was apparently a bit off" Adenan tried to laugh
Faro laughed too, and then turned serious "Are you okay? I'd hate to tell Bethrona if you're not!"
"I'm okay, and if I was not, I'd tell her myself!" Adenan answered in a joking tone
"But I think you need a medic!" Padmé exclaimed "And thanks for saving me"
"I told Anakin that I'd do anything for him, and his wife!" Adenan looked at Padmé
"You, know?" Padmé asked
"Since two years ago!" Adenan answered "When I went to the Senate, I saw you and Anakin talk about marriage, and I put two and two together!"
Adenan tried sitting down, Faro and Padmé supported him. Adenan leaned on the control table. It was hard with all those burns, but Adenan sat down successfully.
"I can't even move quickly enough! I might need a medic!" Adenan exclaimed
"Well, I could easily beat you in SSB now!" Faro exclaimed, Adenan just glared at him as the three watched the duel
Yoda told all of them that if they felt like they were going to be killed, to forfeit the duel until necessary, so the remaining people were Master Chi, who was heavily relying on Force Pushes, Anakin, who was relying a little too much on Force Lightning and Yoda, who was using sheer skill.
Anakin's Force Lightning became green. Anakin's knowledge of the Dark Side and the Light Side allowed Anakin to excel quicker in the Light Side. So he was now using Force Lightning that was controlled by the light side of the force.
Adenan decided to quicken the duel and raised his hand, pushing Sidious a far distance, Aayla force pushed Sidious the other way. Anakin then used Force Pull and killed Sidious with his blade.
Anakin ran up to Padmé, Adenan and Faro.
"Adenan, you okay?" Anakin asked
"I'm fine, but, as said before, I need a medic!" Adenan answered
"What about you, angel?" Anakin asked Padmé
"I'm fine, and about the part where Palpatine said 'Lord Vader'" Padmé told Anakin, who groaned
"I was the Sith App" Anakin was interrupted by footsteps. Everyone looked up and saw two Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu.
"Oh… Hello Master Kenobi!" Padmé greeted
"Chancellor!" Obi-Wan greeted back
"We must put the Republic back to what it was" Mace persisted
"Yes, of course!" Padmé as Anakin and Adenan went to the Chancellor's Pod and went to press the raise button. Padmé hopped on just in time and went up with Anakin and Adenan.
Anakin called everyone to the Senate, most were overjoyed that Padmé was back on the center. All the Senators took their seats.
"Senators, Citizens, and especially, Jedi! The Emperor has ruined out government and peacekeepers, we wish to immediately start cleanup efforts! The Empire will be reorganised back, into the Republic and Clone Troopers will have Order 66 removed! The Jedi will head immediately back into the Temple once they hear this message. We will survive!" Padmé exclaimed, and everyone cheered for her
