Foreshadowing The Future I: The Final Showdown
Disclaimers: the characters don't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to the author and the creator of the movies.
Warnings: For this chapter the trio are going over the primary that caused his double in the book to turn. And before he makes it clear that one fatal mistake could have dire consequences. As his former friend and his rival never considered that possibility and to the quartet they knew this as well. As he further explains it to their mentors and to Darra then as they continue to piece together where this decision could lead.
This story is taking place after he learns that the blast not only did damage to Tru's lightsaber, it possibly damaged the crystal as he makes his choice right then to tell them the truth and as he prepares to change his future into who he would have been. Had he stayed clear of Palpatine as he makes one good decision after another.
This is also borrowing some of the conversations from my other story, as instead of Darra being killed now, it's taking the alternate reality of what if the council had called them back to the temple and they decided to run the test there. Before Anakin got hit by Sidious's rage at the loss of his plan falling apart, before the mission reactivates as Ferus gets expelled and Tru gets hold back a year now.
But he's still going to be paired with Padme, and the second pairing is Darra, in friendship now, as the future gets changed, as every loss he took changes as he grows more powerful as he cuts himself off from Sidious later that year now. And before the movie begins now, but this is taking place during the weeks leading into the prologue to the Attack Of The Clones later, but this story opens with the last chapter.
And of the Jedi Quest Novels, after the first show down, and before the middle of the story, as they return to the temple. As it asks the question now, if the council, Obi-wan and Anakin had help from our galaxy in learning what only one change in his life could do for him. As not only does he have his life in complete balance, he also gets the meaning of the prophecy and as his personality changes now.
What this change in her personality causes as it causes his lightsaber crystals color to change. And as he now matches Mace in color, as they also decide lzto make several changes to the story. as one change, does it as it changes his future, as he gets thrown into the future. As a result of their, Obi-wan, Yoda and Mace's decision, in making that choice to bring them home, before the lightsaber breaks down then.
And this will be a what if one change in his childhood as a padawan does for his future and the future of every Jedi in the order. As the Skywalkers, continue making changes in the past, before the purge begins as one by one every Jedi that died is cloned by the Kimonoans. As he and Padme raise Luke and Leia and it enters the original trilogy as he stayed himself now and everyone who loved him knew it too.
Chapter 2: A Jedi's First Duty I: Contacting Padme And Naboo
"Focused on the future, and without paying attention to the here and now, events now, like I do. For me, I prefer the here and now, I live in the moment, never thinking about the future, I want to enjoy myself in the here and now. I focus on the here and now, but that's what I'm saying and of long term consequences, looking at how many lives are lost, because of bad decisions." he said and they both swallowed hard at that as he went on.
"But honestly the team was split in half from the second Zan Arbor came into the picture right now." he said and Soara and Darra moved to him and Obi-wan as they looked at the duo sternly. "Tell me, why should I tell you what's in my heart, my emotions, when all you're going to do is twist my words to the rest of our clan later. But too late right now, look at you, your arrogance nearly resulted in causing a riot that day." he said and Ferus swallowed hard at that.
"You remember that day, you ignored your own surroundings in favor of showing off and hot-dogging to the council and to the trio. But 500 people in that stadium, 400 politicians, and a few dozen other members and spectators, in total now. It's there were close to 950 people there all planets, but they all had one thing in common in the case of Tatooine, they needed a local, someone that spoke the language to break up a debate that went on repeatedly."
"And had I not intervened, how many would be dead or in the hospital, because of you, you acted before thinking that day, tell me, how many. Because you reacted too fast and not paying attention to what was going on and instead were showing pride and showing off. You saw the way the guards and everyone that knew me there approved of the way I handled it now?" he asked and the duo swallowed hard at that memory at the remark as Obi-wan nodded.
"Yes and you are correct, you are me as a teenager you did exactly as I wanted you to do Anakin, that's the true essence of being a padawan. But there are better ways to handle a debate or fight like this, going to violence immediately right now, and you proved that to me. You did exactly as I wanted to, and the more powerful weapon is the weapon of words, words of peace and showing the essence of the living force pulsing in you now."
"If you know the people involved then let someone that speaks the language take charge, that was the point of the test. And secondly as is opening to the living force, by proving that to us and to Adi, Tiana and Mace, you showed you understood Master's lesson perfectly." he said and Anakin nodded to him. "So to him he's holding to your humiliating him in front of your own people?" Soara asked and they both nodded to her and she crossed her arms at that remark.
"Yeah and secondly is he lied to you, again." he said and she nodded. "What did he lie about if Darra had to take charge right now?" she asked as she crossed her arms and he sighed. "The original lesson you were teaching us, I don't have to hear the words, Adi and Qui-Gon had a hand in it. As did Tiana and Damon, I knew the point and I got it in the second try, but he failed the test and lied to you." he said and she nodded sternly to him at that remark.
"What's you opinion of understanding the mentors these lessons came from and being given second hand to us, by you?" he asked and she nodded gently. "I would see that though just getting to know us, you understand this better then our own students do. As trained or not, Qui-Gon had just as much impact on you as he did on us, you are like us in training mode." she, Obi-wan and Siri said together and he nodded as Ferus looked at him in a panic he got it then.
"What's the true point to the lesson, if he got it wrong and failed another one of Adi and Qui-Gon's tests and with them, Master Yoda?" she asked and he explained that to her. "Trust in your partner and trust in the force, competitiveness and anger, rivalry have no point in this test. You must trust your partner knows what they're doing, especially if you're the younger in training then your partner." Anakin told her and she nodded to confirm that and Ferus paled.
"That's the real lesson, not what I thought it was?" he asked and they nodded to him. "Not what you thought you overheard, you were eaves dropping on us, weren't you, you were listening to our conversation. And before whatever caused Darra to go to him, Annie, why don't you give us the true point of the Jedi goal and the point of the lesson that day." Soara said using his nickname and Anakin nodded as he hid a smile at her use of his nickname then as he said it.
"How'd you know?" he asked and she smiled. "Going on a guess Annie, somehow I knew you preferred to be having a nickname. And I heard Adi and Damon mention a name that Qui-Gon and the queen called you by, I take it I guessed right, that's your nickname?" she asked and he nodded smiling to her. "Yeah it is, you got it right Master, but to answer your question, on the Jedi lesson and the true Jedi goal, in what I learned that day now."
"As the big point and I got it immediately is this: we both had strengths and weaknesses, that was for either of us to see this, but join together. Join together and we were stronger together, but merge with the strength and cover the weakness and together. Together, we are stronger together, if we set aside our differences and work together as one, Master and I got it immediately." he said and the quartet nodded as she went to a trick question.
"The fear of something, of looking like a fool is no reason to do something or not to do it, for it is a fear born in weakness, tell me padawan. Who told us that and we were teaching that to you?" she asked and he smiled at her. "Master did, he told this to Obi-wan and Obi-wan to me, change the words, but still the very same lecture." he said and the trio nodded to him. "Yes, very good, that is just the point." Siri said and he nodded as Ferus looked at him in shock.
"Fact is I understand their lectures and through them their own mentors, as I am living force, but I never show off. I am humble about my training, but that attitude very well could have backfired on you, just like you never looking at the smaller picture to see this. Where one decision can have consequences and for future generations, generation after generation of Jedi, of families that are force sensitive." he said and Ferus swallowed hard at that as he went further.
"Now I may be the chosen one and I was chosen to rise, but one single decision causes me to fall, chosen to rise, and destined to fall, because of one decision made by you. You ever consider this choice could cause future repercussions right now. Like say..., oh I don't know, a tribe of innocents to be wiped out, by my hand. And in a grief stricken black out as my alter ego lost it?" he asked and they swallowed hard at that remark as he went further then.
As Siri, Ry' and Obi-wan heard the beyond stern tone in his voice at that. "You know, where I come from, we're used to standard attacks by Tuskin raiders. But this one resulted in 46 men to be killed when they went to save my mother, and my stepfather right now. He's also nearly killed right now as a result, and one month time separation, when I'm on protection duty for my original mission results in wiping out this tribe."
"My mandate involved my wife, but as a result of this, I got to use a loophole and take her with me. Just so I could check on them, before my alter ego snaps, and I black out, and you know what happens?" he asked with a stern growl and they shook their heads shaking. As Obi-wan, listening to this, felt his heart clench, after the two times he had to live with the knowledge of a self defense situation, and knew this was even worse.
"Do you understand the meaning of a broken heart, to grieve at the loss of a family member, the loss of a loved one. Are you aware that when in the five stages of grief as Jedi if someone pushes us too hard, it could result in something you can never take back. And with it, oh I don't know, the destruction of the entire order, also by my hand, because this worry, this fear I carry in turn, turns inward and destroys me."
"And this worry, this fear, that only the council and Obi-wan know about, it turns into an obsession. All because of one thing, it, your lightsaber, causes the death and kills my best friend, who is practically my imprint, Darra." he said with a stern tone and Obi-wan heard the tone he remembered when dealing with Krayne and knew whatever he learned then. Was enough he was determined to prevent it and by any means necessary at that.
As he exchanged looks with the trio at that at the pale looks on the duo's faces at his remarks as he went on further at that. "Two blows to the heart, back to back in the next 8 months alone starting with today, result in destroying a tribe of innocents. And said being the ones that accidentally killed my mother, as things play out, in the end on that mission. I get the truth and in the worst way possible that our Sith was standing directly in front of us all this time."
"As he offered me power in order to save the people I love, as this continues, as it results, now, in something else that can not be taken back. You would be responsible for the deaths of millions to billions, starting with the order. And immediately following them is Gunray and his band of conspirators, who are all working for our Sithmaster. And as my family gets torn apart as a result, if I not caught this, and I mean now."
"And before it could happen right now, but my allegiance is to the republic, to democracy, but my alter ego stabs me in the back and creates a dictatorship now. And the ones that hate you, and for the rest of your lives are the senate, the members. Said who are friends to the order and possibly the best friends, of my wife, Queen Amidala. Or in handmaiden mode, Padme Naberrie, as she dies of a broken heart as well."
"That's the reason for this, and you know what, if you were intending on making it clear I was capable of whatever you were plotting regarding me. Well you've failed miserably right now, just like our Sithmaster has right now. Do you honestly expect me not to tell this to the entire council and immediately, just to prevent a bloodbath. And prevent it from getting started at all and as my alter ego takes total control in four years time."
"But you know who pays the prices for this long lack of vision in your case, and the most as well?" he said sternly and Ferus swallowed hard at that remark. "It's my entire family that pays the price here, starting with my son who is being trained by my mentor. And my daughter and her husband, who are left living in fear that, now. That by my grandchildren, they too, could also turn." he said and Ferus repeated that in shock then.
"But that Sithlord is never taking me alive right now and with me, my family, I'm not capable of cold blooded murder, I am a Jedi, like my father before me." he said and in response to those words, they saw a dark purple glow coming off the lightsaber. And on his belt and he turned it on, as they saw it turned to the shade the second in command. Of the Jedi Council, Mace Windu, carried and they nodded in shock as Ferus swallowed.
"Well if that tells me anything they just changed colors, control the evil in your heart and yet a guardian, you did it finally, it's over." Siri said and he nodded in relief. "It's never happening, I will never turn to the darkside, he failed, I am a Jedi, like my father before me." he said sternly and Obi-wan smiled in relief at the declaration. "There's the you I know, you would never turn on us." he said to him gently and Anakin nodded to him.
Turning it off, he pulled him into a hug and Obi-wan closed his eyes and the feeling pain and heartbreak he felt then. At the possibility that the boy he raised could become such a monster in only four years. "Not you, I'm not losing you, whatever it takes, if it means ending this mission now, I'm doing it, but this Sith is never getting his hands on you, not on his life or mine." he said as he tried to control his voice as he hold him and and Anakin pressed his forehead.
And to his, as they fused their link the duo swallowed hard at that remark. "Family?" Tru repeated and another book appeared on the cockpit dashboard at that, and Siri grabbed it. "I was meant to change the code, that's the true point, a Jedi living in both worlds. And brings balance to the force, is part of this conversation at the moment, this is what the prophecy truly meant. But in order to do so, it's possibly by two wars back to back, and evening the odds."
"Especially if our latest lost Jedi resigned from the order right now." he said and the quartet nodded. "Lets see, peace and strife, light and dark, Jedi and Sith, bring the force back into balance, how long has the republic stood exactly?" Anakin asked and Obi-wan explained that. "Over 1,000 years." he said and Anakin nodded as he looked at him gently as Ferus swallowed as he never considered his decision then.
And where it could lead as he heard the firm tone of a Jedi council member in his voice and his heart hit the floor. And as Obi-wan nodded as he heard the tone in his voice as he answered him gently. "Uh huh, what about the Jedi/Sith war, who won that, before our Sithmaster came back on the scene?" he asked and Siri answered that. "We did." she said and he nodded as he read out what the prophecy really meant then to her.
"It's like the balance point between a normal Jedi and what you called me when you, Master and Adi taught me. But everything has to be completely balanced, there have been over 1,000 years of peace, and it ended when you found me, the prophecy has begun. We out number them 10,000 to 2 if Dooku also turned to the the darkside, 1,000 years of peace, we're about to go into war." he said and they nodded to him gently.
As Ferus ended their conversation, before he could though Soara answered him. "And now it's their turn, revenge of the Sith, said revenge is we wiped them out. So they in turn do the same to us, as they're not targeting our counterparts in the Grey order. But we are their true enemies here, if this was read in the galaxy these books came from. Where they come from they have a different view of in certain cases religion now."
"We're heaven, the Sith are hell, our religion is the complete opposite to a Sith, and they are the middle ground, so in other words. We destroyed them, now it's their turn and it takes the republic with it as a result. Though if you lose your arm, and it results in your clone ending up in the uniform, if that's your alter ego." she said showing him the red tinged book and he saw a black robed, masked character carrying a red lightsaber.
"Anakin this boy carrying this lightsaber looks just like you." she said and he nodded. "I know, and this is where this choice they make leads, he's my son. I married Padme, later this year, and look at the girl, who does she remind you of, Obi-wan?" he asked and Obi-wan checked it and felt his heart shatter, as he got the point and reason at his remark. And for the stern tone in his voice, as he answered his question then gently.
"She looks like the queen, so the boy looks like you and the girl like the queen, and this is..., you're turning 20 this year. And 26 years, this book trilogy is 26 years into the future!" he said as he got it and Anakin nodded to him sternly. "Yes, father got these books from another planet, in another galaxy, across the universe, my future was being written out." he said and Obi-wan nodded as he crossed his arms as Anakin went on.
"Just give me 15 minutes you two, because this future that plays out, is only going to happen if I don't change what's coming in this mission. But this decision causes long term consequences that I will not allow if I have anything to say about. I'm a padawan, and I'm taking this directly to the council, after I explain this to my mentor. And your's with him, but this is neither the time nor place for this debate right now."
"And I mean right now, but future consequences are a serious factor and the only senator that knew about my family, the twins. Let me make this clear, but in the wrong hands my powers could be very dangerous and had I not caught this now. They would destroy bilions of innocent lives, once in the hands of a Sithlord, the one that realizes. Now this was a hostile take over is a senator, one who's always been friends of the council."
"Said is Senator Organa, he's a Jedi Loyalist and a ally of my family, as he, Obi-wan and Master Yoda, have to hide the twins from our Sith. You know the rules, always two there are, no more, no less, a Master and Apprentice. My son is just as powerful as I am, to them: Obi-wan, Master and Bail, the twins are their only chance now. To turn me back, if I did turn and you know, why, it's because Darth Vader betrayed and murdered me."
"That betray is betraying my beliefs, that murder is he knocked me into a coma, to them, they will do whatever it takes to turn me back. As I have to recreate the order, start from scratch with Ikrit out there somewhere right now. How do you suppose the twins are going to take it, if I survived and turned back as I refocus on this moment in time. As they and Han learn the truth to my turning and said is because of you right now."
"They would hate you both for the rest of your lives, as their godfather is dead, their mother, their guardians and friends, all dead. All dead, because of a single choice that caused a back to back blow to the heart and I have to live with the guilt. And for the rest of my life right now, to my baby girl she's just like me and a living force Jedi. But the higher the amount of midichlorines and the stronger you are right now."
"But because I was conceived by them, this makes my clan, so strong that if in the wrong hands it destroys them. Because of you, you are the reason for that turning, that their father, the chosen one. He turned to the darkside, because of your choices, that it cost a friend her life?" he said and they swallowed hard at that. "Not that I would blame them right now." Siri said sternly at the revelation and the duo nodded in agreement to that.
"Yes, if we had to be the ones to explain why you turned and to your children and Leia's husband. And they would want both of you arrested, boys, because not only did it nearly destroy the family. It also almost destroyed the alliance, and the alliance is our counterparts in the senate so with that. So who knew the most about your family secret, aside from Obi-wan and Master, Anakin?" Ry asked sternly and he crossed his arms.
"Bail Organa and possibly Mon Mothma, Padme's best friends in the loyalist committee are the duo, but as a result. My alter ego was too close to the chancellor that they couldn't come to us for help, but one chance now." he told him and they nodded as Soara answered him gently at that. "Obi-wan, there is one person, one group that this affects the most with us seeing her in 9 months?" he added to him and Obi-wan nodded to him.
"It's time, our Sithmaster doesn't know you and I pretended that this is not the first time we made contact with her, before he suggested to the chancellor. That you and I be assigned to her as her bodyguards, that's the distraction, keeping me away from home. And long enough she, mom dies of heart failure, not going to happen, we can keep in touch by secret. Before seeing her face to face, during our mandate later on."
"But we keep in touch with by secret." he told him and then sighed softly. "He pretends he knows everything, but omnipotence blinds him right now. But his over confidence is his weakness at the moment. But father just saved me and you with him, if we pull this right now, I don't care what he tries to give me. I can learn it from Qui-Gon, as he also said to follow my instincts now." he said and Obi-wan nodded in agreement to that.
"Don't believe everything you see in the premonitions Anakin, a dream and premonition could easily spell your self destruction. Dreams pass in time, but as they get more and more frequent, they could lead to a trauma you can't take back." he said and Anakin nodded. "Yes Master, father said the same thing." he said, but before Obi-wan could answer they heard a gentle response from their mentor himself as he answered him.
"Indeed, but did Master Yoda tell you I studied the Shaliman of the whills, boys?" they heard and Obi-wan answered him. "He made a brief reference to it, but I didn't you think you could talk to us this way Master." he said and they heard a gentle tone. "Well I gained enough power that I can help train you this way, and soon enough you can see me boys, Siri." he said and they smiled in delight at the news.
As Anakin answered him then. "That would be great, we all miss you right now father, especially Master Yoda, Mace and Adi, at the moment. Things are possibly taking on the formula that you dealt with regarding Xanatos. And we caught the first two. If you hadn't commed me now, I would never have headed off the third to prevent the conclusion of this formula right now." he said and they knew he nodded to his remark then.
As he answered him gently at the remark as the trio went into a line gently at that. "I understand why Anakin, but remember that though not there with you physically, I will always be there to guide you boys, honey. I love you three and I always will, my children." Qui-Gon said and the trio smiled at the declaration then. "We love you too father." the trio said together as Anakin said finished that remark.
"Well then I'm not letting you down, to prevent whatever it was that the Keganite guides told you, I will prevent it from happening in my case, I promise now." he said and they heard a gentle tone to that."I understand Anakin, but remember, you must trust in yourself, like Luke, he lets the premonitions control him. Listen to me, it is you and your abilities the Sithmaster wants, that is why you are suffering this."
"He wants you to brush the darkside, so you can get a taste of that kind of power. Like Luke, you let the premonitions control you, control the situation and it could make an already bad situation worse. Listen to me carefully but remember Yaddle, not your fault it was just her time now. But for both of you, you allowed yourself to be drawn into shadow trap, and she still died."
"For him he tried to stop it and he learns the truth in the worst way possible your true fate, but he had to save them, but did he?" he said and Anakin nodded. "He tried to save Leia, Han, Chewie and Lando, but he didn't, it was them who had to save him. And he learned the truth in the worst way possible, that my alter ego didn't kill me, he replaced me, I'm in a coma and he knew that what they told him was wrong."
"I wound up learning that the hard way with Yaddle, I can't make the same mistake twice or it's going to destroy the order. I let the premonitions play out everything turns out fine and I stay myself. I do something about and I will brush the darkside or I turn as a result." he said and Obi-wan nodded as Darra said it quickly to him. "Anakin don't change to save me, your mother or the senator, stay yourself, you can still save all of us."
"By staying yourself, the only way we could die, and of a broken heart is we all lost you that way." she said and he nodded. "There that's exactly the point we needed you to understand now Anakin, the future is not set, there is no fate..." they heard in response. "But what we make for ourselves, my one chance to change the future, is by ending this mission, before said lightsaber dies in the middle of a scrimmage."
"I have to let the premonitions play out and with you able to talk to us like this, I still have you guiding me like you used to. And when you found me at the time now, but our team is intact, though you're in the force, we have you with us in spirit now. Master, you think it's time for me to make a visit to see mom and my friends. So I know what's going on over there?" he asked and they heard a gentle tone to that remark gently at that.
"Yes Annie I do, in fact it's past time for a trip to see Shmi and the others, but change this point in time, change her dying of blood loss. And heart failure to a need for a healer and it's game over, as you are there to make it clear now, as your stepfather recovers now. But with it, your brother is, if you and him had been raised together, would be exactly matched now if he was a Jedi."
"But your brother is Corran as a non force sensitive, Anakin, the keys are in the clues. Obi-wan, Siri, we know this to be true as well, it was your first joint mission together. That the guides gave me and Adi, break down each piece of it, by looking at the illustrations on the cover. They're afraid of a dictatorship, but the first and foremost now, is evil surrounds the Jedi and comes from them."
"What is that really saying to us now." he asked and Obi-wan nodded. "The Sith are back, that's just the start of it, Father." Obi-wan and Siri said together at that news then. "Obi-wan one more thing, I gave you that so you can focus on this, but remember what you were like as a padawan. As a child, before and after I picked you and after we fixed the rift between us now, at the time now."
"But remember, remember what I told you, as we caught this just in time, but Anakin cracked the bring balance to the force remark. But if it was a close call, like me our Sithmaster's own mentor studied this power. But those scrolls are in the restricted section of the archives right now, he learned as much as he could. And from you, my padawan, to finish his training, the council has to finish it."
"Especially Mace, Adi and Master, that's his one chance regarding the senator. And 2) he learned as much as he could from you, Mace, Adi and Siri have to teach him the rest in being a master guardian." he said and Obi-wan nodded. "Boys did you ever consider what this action can cause, the negative repercussions in the future?" he asked sternly and the duo swallowed hard at that.
"Looks like they didn't, but then, like you kept telling me, my sensitivity to the living force was not my strength when we were younger then the quartet were at the time. But I definitely get the point right now, but one mistake. And bad decision can cause severe ramifications for the future and can result in a trauma. And one that can definitely not be take back right now, as a result here." Obi-wan said and Anakin nodded to that remark.
As he answered that remark gently at that. "Yeah that's an understatement, but father would you say it's time to make contact with her and mom finally. It's been ten years and I'm close to graduation to my trials now?" he asked and they heard a gentle tone to that. "Yes Annie I do, in fact, it's passed time now, you reached the point where we, if I was still alive, right now and finished training both of you now."
"Would have suggested it's you got the chance to see her and your mother now, you get to see your mother and the others, even Padme. We know her true identity, but none of us cared about thar, our bond was in place. If I was still alive, I'd be, like am with you, Obi-wan and Siri right now. And adoptive father to her, as your Jedi parent." he said and they both nodded to that gently.
"Hey father, if I got this right, and in my change of personality the final prize is making it to the council. I followed the code all these years, but my philosophy came from you, feel, don't think, use your instincts. And secondly your focus determines your reality and most of all right now. Don't center on your anxieties, but keep your concentration on the here and now." he said and they heard him finish that with a proud smile in his voice
And Obi-wan nodded and in agreement to that. "And though you must be mindful of the future, but you must never do that, at the expose of the moment. Be mindful of the living force, my young padawan, and you both were meant to be the team. The one that changed the future of the republic, but these two don't realize that one action, one action amd choice, destroys the team."
"Their fear of your powers, are and will their self destruction and with it the total destruction of the old ways of the order. But if I wasn't sure before, this attitude may not match Bruck's but he's still as arrogant as Bruck was and his pride. His pride, envy and jealousy will be his total self destruction, but there is several possibilities in all honesty, Anakin's mother could be one reason."
"Darra could be it, they came up with many possibilities that were the reason he turned. But all of them centered around the same fear, Obi-wan." he said and Obi-wan nodded to that firmly. "That fear was losing someone he loved now, but his fear at losing Padme, was the big one now. His premonitions of her dying in childbirth, that was really spelling out his pending turn to the darkside now, alright I get it now."
"What's happening to you, my brother, you're sounding more and more like me?" he asked and Anakin smiled as he answered him. "You wanted me to change and you got your wish at the moment, but this is me, if I was a member of the council, right now. But not just the council, my chosen fighting form was meant to release all the anger. In me and out of me and into the blade, Vaapad was meant to do just that."
"As it brings you close to the edge, without crossing entirely. Djem So, that does the same thing, but only a Master Guardian understands this. I am a Master guardian, control the evil in my heart and yet I am a guardian, I'm not dangerous." he said and they paled at that and Obi-wan nodded smiling sternly at that. "And that's exactly what I wanted to hear Anakin, you know you can do this, but if we crack down on each piece."
"And we have our Sithmaster and can prevent the first two scenarios and do the others right now. But first we have to discover the identity of our Sithmaster, his real name, though why the Chanceller would say that to you is beyond me right now. Though if we reorganized what he meant by that, and with that, that's the first thing. Now that I really want to know here what does that mean." Obi-wan said and she nodded as she said it.
"There that's what I needed you to understand little brother, you're not dangerous Annie, in all honesty now. It's not the powers that make you dangerous, it's how you use them that counts, you can still be a Jedi, you just have to remember. Though ten years older and wiser, the you I know, the you Obi-wan and Qui-Gon met years ago. It's still intact, you're still you, just ten years older and wiser." Siri said, smiling gently to that remark.
And he nodded as Obi-wan nodded to that. "And if this continued in the same direction this was going in if Master decide and chose now to contact us. You're his sister, our family is us three, Adi, and Qui-Gon, we needed a key to unlock where this was headed. And we just got it now, but if what you have to tell me right now is the reason and I'm ending this, right now, before whatever happens on this mission leaves the door open."
"As for your remark right now, you're right and with that in mind here at the current moment. Indeed, this is a matter of life and death in your case at the hands of your alter ego, I'm not losing you without a fight, my brother." he said and Anakin nodded. "I know, but you're my best friend brother, more then friends or brothers. But we're family, but you're my brother, so like the council and mom, I would never lie to you, ever."
"And I'm not losing you anymore then you want to me, but that's exactly the problem to balance myself out. In being a father, husband, and a Jedi, it's a matter of knowing I can change back now. Especially if I do turn, but the acts that are going to come with it, including dealing with Jabba, if he pushes me to hard, regarding this. But that's the real problem right now, the fact that Padme and the twins knowing it now finally."
"That I'm changing back at the moment, they know it, as does Nejaa and Bail Organa, as I spared Nejaa's life, and immediately following that. I stage my own death in a ship crash to hide us from our Sithmaster at the time. But this determination to pretend that I'm never going to turn back could lead to your self destruction. In not just reconstituting the order, but your friendship with Padme and me, when she knows I'm returning."
"Obi-wan listen to me, the fact that our last encounter, if this plays out all the way to where it could, and she got the news. That I was still alive, she could decide she could try to turn me back as the twins are the key to that now. But every Jedi master that was willing to give it a shot believed I could return, but if you kept thinking it. That it could never happen it would have her resenting you for the rest of your life."
"And with her, my children, if I died because of it, as you do the damage directly in front of whoever of the twins came running to stop it, especially if said twin is Leia. Because you never listened to her or me, and still used my alter ego's name, to her nothing changed would ever change. After she changed my appearance back to what I looked like before my turning now, but this over protectiveness, this arrogance in you, to her."
"Is beyond self absorbed, she knows she can turn me back, and with her the twins now, I know her so well that to her, if you made that choice, to kill me at the time. And even though I was making progress, would have her so furious she'd throw you out of her and the twins lives now. If she decided to return to find me, get us back together, the act of thinking I never changed back, that this psychosis you hold right now."
"From when the twins are 5 to 14, is going to have her thinking you're not thinking like a non force sensitive. And keeping me trapped as my alter ego now, and till you admit you were wrong and me stuck like that till I let go of the hate finally at you." he added and Obi-wan nodded in understanding at the remark as he went further at that remark then. "Though the same could be said for Dorme, she was with us when Rabe, Sabe."
"Padme and we were on Coruscant, during the blockade that year at the time now, the girls were going to be concerned here. That you're holding on to this, could result in throwing both of you out of our lives. As to Padme, the fact remained that so long as she continued acting like this and you pretending I'm manipulating them. And until I get a blow taken right to the chest, is going to have her hating you and resenting you now."
"But if I changed back then why is my lightsaber still red, answer I never got the chamce to change crystals, as I've been in hiding for several weeks. I just go out there and directly to Ilum, or return to the temple to get some new crystals and I'm dead. And secondly I just got out of surgery and the damage done by wherever the fight was. Why that landed me in that suit, had weakened my lungs and heart and that suit."
"It was meant to keep me alive right now, now that I just got out of surgery two weeks earlier and the doctors assigned me a medical droid. What's going to happen if you refuse to believe I changed, and the surviving members of the order, that's including Nejaa and Master know I did?" he asked and Obi-wan nodded as he went further to that. "Making progress in the council's eyes, though once thought that if a Jedi turned."
"That they could not be turned back, we're getting evidence to the contrary of that, he's absolutely right, Obi-wan, if Nejaa and Master Yoda, even Bail now. They thought you could return from the darkside, this would be the knowledge of the ages as you trained students. And in how to fight the darkside now, but to the council this is worth so much as he could become the master, now, this was the key point in the prophecy."
"That went to the darkside and then returned as he started training the new recruits in how to resist mind manipulations of a Sith. To fight the trio as they try to control you now, the key to that is the love of friends and family, as you were returning to yourself again. And till finally releasing the hate completely and that's it as you're back finally as our brother, father and husband, and student." Siri said and he nodded to that remark.
As Obi-wan gave nod of agreement to her thoughts as he answered him gently to that remark. "So this is the you I know, but this Jedi trap was a way to destroy you, your stress levels are out of control. Leading into the final destruction of the Jedi, and with it into the final destruction of the republic, we make a few changes. And you stay yourself forever, to make sure Vader never learns that the twins are alive, let alone she is.
"We have to go into hiding as a result, our family, but your parents and hers, they know you're both alive now as a result as we fake it. But the safe house, it could be on anyone of 3 dozen planets we went to, even Melida/Daan as by then Siri and I are married. Our Jedi family is intact now and we're together for good, as we train the twins. And in the basics, before you and I take him to Tatooine and you stay with your parents."
"Leia is taken to Alderaan and the council is in hiding on every planet that held a lot of very bad memories to your alter ego." Obi-wan said and he nodded to him gently as he looked at him. "Yeah that's what I mean alright to make sure you never lose me, it's time now, we have to tell her where this is going to lead. You and the Jedi know, the senate, in the loyalist committee knows and even our parents know, it's not a secret."
"But we're married, we're expecting and you all know this now, I'm equaled out and now, with it so are you, you are me as young adult or teenager, you allowed yourself to reflect that day as you realized it. You also have to return to the weeks after Gala, you spent months in real world, I was raised in the real world now. We're exactly matched and you're my big brother, so what else exactly, we have to act like our third now.."
"Soon enough you're going to be living on Tatooine, helping me train Luke, we have to be like everyone else now, my brother." Anakin told him and he nodded he read the subtext then as he looked at his fellow mentors and Darra gently. "Well one thing's for sure is that you learned as much as you could from me. Mace and Adi have to finish your training right now." Obi-wan said to hum and he nodded to him gently at that
"Hold it a second now." he said and the trio and Darra nodded, as Anakin thought over a way to contact Padme Amidala and smiled as he dialed the palace frequency. "Senator Amidala, this is Padawan Skywalker, do you read, repeat, this is Padawan Skywalker, do you read me?" he asked and a second later a man that looked like the captain, he and Obi-wan met before appeared on the camera as he answered him gently at that.
"Did you say Padawan Skywalker, son?" he asked and and he nodded. "Yes this is the Jinn/Skywalker/Kenobi team reporting in Captain. If you know Dack Panaka, I need to speak directly to him and Senator Amidala, please I need to speak to the senator. But if not her then Captain Panaka and Governor Bibble please." he said to him gently and a second later, the captain of her guard appeared and got in front of the camera.
"Yes son I read you, what is it?" he asked and Obi-wan smiled as he got the idea. "Is Senator Amidala there on Naboo, or is she at the capital Captain. May have been a while, but we wanted to talk to her and it's good to see you as well?" he asked and he explained that. "She's at the capital, but this is a welcoming surprise I was wondering if I was ever going to see you two again, Master Kenobi, Anakin."
"Well this answers that question Master Kenobi, it's good to see you two again, so what's this about boys?" he asked and Anakin crossed his arms. "I just learned a few things that are going to test everything we thought was once true, but do you know what a Sithlord is?" he asked and the man went ramrod straight at the title as he answered him at the question in shock as he quickly answered his question then firmly.
"Yes, but they were supposedly wiped out here." he said and Anakin nodded. "Well we just got evidence to the contrary right now, the lunatic that attacked Master. That was a Sithlord, his mentor is human, we're trying to crack who he is, his non force sensitive identity. Once done, you, as our allies are the first to know, followed by Senators Organa and Mothma." Obi-wan said and Anakin finished that sentence at the remark gently.
"Well we were wrong, this debate that the senator is dealing in, it's all a Jedi trap Captain. The character you saw Qui-Gon and Obi-wan get into a fight with was the apprentice of the Sithmaster. I don't have a complete picture, but once I do, I'm telling the loyalist committee, but here it is now. There was a Jedi prophecy of a Jedi born and raised in both worlds that would bring balance now, as that balance now."
"Said is balance to the force, but Obi-wan's choice to choose Tatooine, that wasn't by chance, he was meant to find me, before the Sith did. I'm that chosen one, it was my destiny to change the code, so we can fall in love and get married. But the clock is ticking and this oncoming war that the senate is debating about. This is part of a trap, to wipe us out, this is a Jedi trap and just fighting this war, we, the Jedi, go extinct as a result."
"Before the Sith calls treason as a reason to wipe us out and turns the republic into a dictatorship." he said and the older man nodded in shock to that as he answered him. "Great that's just great, alright, to pull this off, now that you told me that, I can give you the Senator's frequency to reach her son. She's going to want to hear from you now anyway, as she finally gets to see you as you are now finally."
"She never said it in a while, but I know she misses you and Master Kenobi. Just hearing from you right now, she would want to know this information." he said and Obi-wan nodded in agreement to that. "Thank you Captain, but the mission we're on is on a hold now, as we're trying to crack this code Master gave us right now. But the teams you see with us, this woman next to me, she's my team partner, Dack."
"My team and the Galia/Tachi team are partners when our team went on double missions. Long story, but Granta Omega, he's a Sith want to be, but his father is owner of Offworld, my past on several missions just came back to haunt me. But at the moment, if this continues in the way it's heading right now. And the results are it could be a ticking time bomb waiting to go off, my padawan is already stronger then the padawan trio."
"And way ahead of them too, I know and as does the council, he's just months away from his trials, but he's training to be a master guardian and that means. It's time for Masters Windu and Gallia to finish his training right now in this case. But things right now, we're close to the finish before you see us again right now in person. But 10 years training you're seeing how good he became, if we get assided to you for another mission."
"And we all knew, with his growing up in the real world, that it's beyond dangerous to push a student this strong." he said and they heard another voice as the planet governor appeared at that. "Which is what right now, if you decided to comm us finally?" he asked and Obi-wan looked at the panicked looks on the duo's faces as he said it. "That the key lesson could leave the victim traumatized for life at the moment, reason being."
"Is that loss combines with another as two losses come together as one. And then wipe out a tribe of innocents, Anakin has already been through one too many traumas as it is. And he doesn't need this added on to it right now, as such, this is what I have to discuss with her, we haven't seen her in years this is our one chance to change things now." he said and the duo that knew their team nodded gently in understanding to that.
"Anakin already made it clear, and this is me, before I turned into who you remember me as Captain, Governor. But this is me when I was living on Melida/Daan for several months and Granta's father just barely missed killing our mentor, Master Yoda. But as a result that one mission changed my life, but ever since right now. My past came back to haunt me in two missions, but first this and then another." he said and they nodded to him.
"So this is you when living as a non force sensitive not long after you became a padawan, alright I take it that's dangerous as well as a result here now too. So changed demeanors you could sympathize with us, though Anakin grew up that way. And you both are connected to us, and it's because of the senator as you wre there helping us protect her?" Panaka asked and he nodded to him gently.
"Yes, that's right, I learned something that would take years to get over at the time, to me. It's the only way, as he sees my past as it recreated itself for him, and the other reason, Zan Arbor, she's back on the loose here. But she's already killed the son of a senator, out of her obsession regarding the force. So as of right now, we're both getting over losing Master Yoda's partner in the council, her name is Master Yaddle."
"We don't need anything else making it worse right now, in his case." he said and the duo nodded in understanding as Anakin finished that remark. As Obi-wan wrapped his arm across Anakin's shoulders then and the trio hid a smile at that. "I take it with you choosing that side of you, it's making it easier to bond more deeply?" Panaka asked him and he nodded to him gently at the remark as Anakin said it for both of them.
Just as he was saying it then, a black book appeared on the dash and Soara grabbed it then. "If that's focused on the mission that brought us together, then the first two chapters are focused on me, hit chapter three. If this says it for sure, then it means I was right that the trade federation is working with the Sith to destroy us and the republic." Anakin told her and she nodded as she checked and then saw it, in the truth
And nodded as her eyes narrowed in anger then. "If he is hiding plain sight, then he met me at the same time Palpatine did the day you guys took me with you to Coruscant at the time." Anakin told them and she nodded. "That transmission that was sent to track you down, but just as that character nearly runs you down. Before seeing him face to face at the hanger door that day, but that is one situation here."
"Regarding having a possible Jedi initiate getting involved that month, in one way and by actually piloting one if our starfighters at the time. And with it, having said student piloting it into the ship, that is something I'm not likely to forget either." Bibble said in response and he nodded. "Before we had to split up the teams and he joins Ric, but each grouping had their own mission."
"And I think he interpreted Qui-Gon's orders as get involved in the dogfight in orbit that day, if Ric told us he destroyed the droid control ship." Panaka said and he nodded to him. "No kidding, but the fighter was on autopilot, and it only made sense for Artoo to be with me at the time. But we keep this up and he's going to be my astro droid, before turning into a family droid." Anakin said and Panaka nodded, bemused.
"Yes and you ended up nearly giving us a heart attack at the fact you gunned down the destroyers before we got out of the hanger." Obi-wan told him at the memory then as they exchanged looks of concerned annoyance at the remark as she answered him. "Just found it alright, Gunray is working with our Sithmaster Captain, boys." Soara said and Panaka nodded in shock to the news then as Anakin nodded as he said it to them.
"Looks like the partnership never quit at the moment, they gathered more followers and the results are it resulted in the oncoming war. That is being debated in the senate right now, over the army creation act that the Senator's still working on right now, these characters, they're all working for our Sithmaster. I'm just saying this for both of us right now, that we hope diplomacy plays itself out, but with the way this is looking.
The day the republic no longer functions is the day we lose it right now." he said and they nodded to that. "Well lets hope that day never comes right now." Sio Bibble told him and they nodded in agreement to that. "Tell me about it right now, any word on Gunray, in the court's decisions?" he asked and he sighed in annoyance to that question as he answered his question. "Gunray?" Tru and Ferus repeated and the duo nodded.
"Nute Gunray, the viceroy of the trade federation, and I'm just repeating Qui-Gon's remarks, but these federation types are cowards. But they don't want to mess with us and he made a bad situation worse, by attempting to kill my team, before they got to me. And before I had to blow up the blasted ship from the inside at the time." Anakin told them and Panaka and Bibble nodded as they exchanged looks
As Bibble answered him, and as he looked between them gently. "Despite, several hearings in court, Nute Gunray is still the viceroy of the trade federation. So who's part of this plan to destroy you and destroy the order. If our Sithmaster is determined to get his hands on you?" he asked and Anakin sighed. "I'm searching for the non force sensitive identity of our Sithmaster, once done, I can tell you then."
"But the Jedi and the Loyalist committee have to work as one, this is a Jedi trap, we change the next four years And it turns into a Sith trap, as we get the entire order cloned, and that everyone, but me, Master and Obi-wan go into hiding. But Masters Windu, Adi and Siri here are teaching me a few new things. And that could help prevent this in my case, I'm what they call a master guardian, because the red of evil."
"Honestly, I learned as much as I could from Obi-wan, to finish my training, I have to be trained by the council, but here's a question for you. What's your opinion of a couple students trying to frame me for something I never would do. You both met me as a child you know this captain, and their decisions bring about the downfall of the Jedi. And with it the senate and the republic, now, as we believe in democracy at the moment."
"Because they're determined to prove I'm turning to the darkside, reason being now here at the moment. Now as a Jedi my training is the concern of only Obi-wan and the council, I learned our lesson, and he doesn't want to hear the truth. Now, that I was telling Obi-wan the training lesson he wanted me to learn and I did that alright, but said student. He is unifying that refuses to capitulate to me, a living force, when during said lesson
"I was the one that dealt with the technology. Said is being used in said invasion, said invasion as close to yours as possible, before giving a threat Before seeing the girl he's in love with looking at him in disgust here, and she moved to me, his rival. I'm his rival, and everything he wants I already have it, the master, the attention of the council. And most of all is the girl he likes, my friend?" he said and the duo nodded in disgust at the news.
"If we were along for the ride and heard whatever he said to you, I would see this in the way your friend there would right now kiddo. But that's no excuse for that remark whatever he said to you, or his jealousy at the fact you earned that trusy." he heard and a young woman moved forward and he smiled at her. "Hey Lieutenant, good to see you." he said and she smiled at him gently at the title.
"Not quite kiddo, it's lieutenant commander now, I was promoted five years after we separated at the time." she told him and he nodded. "Congratulations Commander, I'm glad to hear that, if there ever was a need for my helping you out a second time. And I'd do it in a heartbeat and join your squadron, ten years maybe, but the me you remember is still in full control here."
"So I would gladly do it again to help you out." he told her and she chuckled at the news. "Rick, Dave and I would love to have you as part of our wing for another mission, I heard most of what you told the captain. And you're right this is reason enough to contact the ones it most affects. If this Sithmaster's identity is someone we all know here." she told him and he nodded to that in agreement gently.
