The Skywalkers Reborn: 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: 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 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 to young adult self 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 15: Seeing The Truth And The Prophecy Revealed
"Master there was one other thing I was concerned about, but I think Obi-wan said it for all of you when he said this." Anakin said and Adi went over that. "Which was what Padawan?" she asked and he sighed. "That one day I lose you when my powers surpass yours, but he said not to be afraid of that." he said and she nodded to him gently.
"He's right, you already gave up everything, but just because one day now in the future. You will surpass us in strength and powers, in wisdom, that is not something to be afraid of as by then we know you are ready fully for full mastery now. Things changed by you just opening up your emotions to us, and just telling us everything you're feeling."
"But our bonds wil never change, we love you and we'll aways be proud of you, of the man you become. Since you freed yourself of this worry and told us everything in your heart, we changed the future and most us will be around for you and your family." Mace said and he nodded as Mace pulled him into a hug and he tightened his arms gently.
"You did well right now these last few missions, but right now you need a reprieve at the moment, so for a few days you're on temple rest. And then you head for Naboo to pick up the senator, before we return to Tatooine and we tell your family and friends. We never lost anyone and you never lost her, so we tell your mother this and the truth."
"In what has transpired here this past mission." he said and Anakin nodded. "Getting a single chance to talk to your friends, the senator and your mother. I think that started something right now, but one minute the concern over you not being able control it. That fear is very valid and the next you're beyond calm and more sure of yourself then ever."
"But this is one heck of a transformation right now." Tiana said smiling and he nodded to her. "Well I think this would answer the question to what having mom back does for me in your eyes. As well as seeing my father, brother and sister-in-law right now, learning the future. So to answer that question, if we never stopped this mission and I never went to check on them at the moment, that me would cross the line, but we didn't."
"That's the catch, we never learned from one mistake and made another and it destroys me in the end." he said and Yoda nodded firmly as he got it. "We never learned from calling off one mission, to delay another until you checked your premonitions. To see if they were proven right, as you returned to the capital three days after the attack."
"But we had you two pulling a double shift and you're so exhausted that your premonitions have gone berserk." Mace said and he nodded in agreement. "Exactly that's the fatal mistake for our doubles, I never considered reporting the duo. For what they did, you never canceled the mission and we never took that detour to my planet."
"I think I know the fatal mistake, but you remember what you told Ahsoka, that sometimes your past can foreshadow your future, old sins can cast long shadows. Your past can ruin your future if you let it and I don't plan to as we forestalled one piece. And of it, we get the other, by heading to Tatooine and head it off, before we head home."
"So I got to make a trip by my father's farm to check in and the four of us help the farmers." he said and Yoda smiled proudly. "Indeed exactly what I mean, that is, and correct you are, that past can ruin your future if let it, you do. And ready you are by translating my lessons for your padawan, as understand me better then ever now."
"You do since released all the anger and impatience, very proud of you I am." he said and Anakin smiled at him gently. "That's the problem at times if you never listen with your heart and are too impatient, you can never understand, and with in mind, it's clear. And with the rescue, but trust me, the Jundland wastes are not to be traveled lightly, Master."
"Maybe two or three days in delay, but that's fine, I have to make sure, to give an equalization between us to these droids and the raiders. It's one of us is more then a fair fight with the raiders or the droids, two is over doing it here. But four to eight, and that's going for over kill in their eyes right now." he said and Luminara and Obi-wan nodded.
"That's an understatement, having us deflecting the shots back at them is enough where they got to break ranks and retreat right now. Alright, we can take a detour enroute from our mission from Ansion back to Tatooine to check on Cliegg and Shmi. Before returning to the capital." Obi-wan said and Luminara nodded in agreement to his thoughts gently.
"How many teams do you suggest we send exactly?" Barris asked and he thought over over carefully. "Thirty of us went out after her, and only four of us came back', two Jedi is more then fair fight, but one Jedi/padawan team per ten men, that's it. We send five, so one team to five farmers, is more then enough." he said and the council nodded to him.
"Our team takes Cliegg, Owen and their team then, the trio, or quartet, with us, are taking the four teams, but the last is protecting Beru. Let alone the the other farmer's female family members." Obi-wan said and he nodded in agreement. "Agreed, 5 to 6 and team number six is guarding the homestead that is HQ for the others, so with that."
"We send 5 teams, us 2, plus Garen, Siri and Soara, as the quartet are the Gallia/Tachi, Muln/Hancock, and the Attana/Thel Thanis teams that should do it." he said and Ry' shook his head as he answered him. "You're not leaving without me Annie, we been together for 6 years, the four of us started this together that's how we finish it now."
"Qui-Gon may not be here, but the rest of us are, so Adi, Damon, Tiana and Clee with us, our mentors were your's closest friends. We're family, we finish this together, but that's six teams now and that should be enough to make it clear." he said and the four Jedi masters nodded in agreement. "Agreed, we all go." Clee said and the group nodded.
"Ten years maybe, but if all of you want to use my nickname that's fine right now, we all know where this could have lead if father had never commed me. And through the force, it was close, but any closer and we never would've made sure. Now, that he never destroyed me, it was way too close." he said and they nodded to that remark firmly.
"More then way too close, if we hadn't stopped this mission, one loss triggers a chain reaction of losses, one after another, that in the end destroys you. Because of your desperation to keep from losing the rest of us, and it all starts. And with an irresponsible decision to keep silent." Mace said as he, Adi, Tiana and Damon exchanged furious looks.
"Indeed, return to Tatooine to check on Shmi, before returning to Coruscant to start your mandate, you will." Yoda said and Mace and the council nodded in agreement. "Thank you Master, it's fine, but my training for the council starts with this now. In being who I truly am now, balancing out both sides of me, Jedi and non Jedi again, starts with this."
"But both sides of me balanced, like the good and the evil, create a stronger warrior and better person now then what being around him ever did for me. But you did it now, by taking the first step to preventing it, we stop the other losses. And the me you wanted is so strong he's never getting to me at all." he said and Yoda nodded proudly to him then.
"With making these changes we fixed what went wrong, the me you wanted to know is in total control, but like I said and I wasn't kidding when I said this. Father contacted us through the force after the fight did damage to his lightsaber. Leaving the pile of books that he left with you, he gave me these two on the cause and effect this week."
"But forcing my memories forward, I saw his, Padme's, my friends and adopted uncle, and mom's faces more clearly than I have in ten years since we met." he told him as he gave the two books to them and they checked it carefully then. "The you we met as a child returning as the you we know now." Mace said, looking at the diorama softly.
"Looks like they melded what you look like now with your cub self to come up with your 13 to 17 year old selves." Kit said as he looked at him aging from his 10 year old self into his 19 year old self in the diorama and the council nodded in agreement. "Well if the twins wanted to know you in the way we do, they would get this pretty quickly right now. But this is the you we know, when not piloting, you thought about mechanics."
"And studied lightsaber lore to create a lightsaber to your parameters, but our best student, so yes you came in a little late and yes, you were a too old. But you remember our original lesson for you before Sekot?" Mace asked him gently. "Why would you want to rush training and growing up, when all both do is cause more pain and traumas."
"But time passes and it teaches, you have much to see and much to experience, so don't hurry the knowledge you seek, that knowledge takes it's own time. And enjoy your childhoo and padawan years while you still have the time too. Life goes by fast, and if you do not stop and take time to enjoy it, you could miss something vital to it."
"So just enjoy these years while you stil have the chance, we're, if on the planet these come from, we're second year to third college students. But once this comes to an end, we're entering the real world, without you and our current mentors. But without you there to guide us, I'd rather stay a padawan for another 4 to 5 years, then let go now."
"I'm not ready to let go, not yet, I need you still." he said and the council, Damon and Tiana smiled proudly as Obi-wan smiled in relief, as he knew his padawan read his thoughts. "Yes, but only a true padawan can understand our lessons and decode them, you are the true chosen one, it's clear now, ready for the trials now you are, padawan."
"Very proud of you I am Anakin, best rest for now, long day you have had emotionally, but like Mace said, leave in four days, but until then. Just rest and we can continue with therapy, over close call, how it was in this scenario. But clear to all of us now, made much progress you have, not much longer now, not lose Darra you did now."
"And not lose Shmi or us you will either, rest." he said and Anakin nodded, as he left the room and headed for the launch pad to find Darra there sitting on the edge of it. As he sat down next to her and she leaned into his side as they looked out over the sunset. "We did it, it's over, you know ever since the last premonition two years ago."
"Yaddle, I was afraid of where my powers and title were going to lead me." he told her and she nodded as she took his hand. "I know, but they made the mistake, you did your best in trying to prevent it, but they made the choices." she said and he nodded. "I am just so relieved I never lost you today, you made me a better person now."
"You are my strength, my heart, I love you Darra." he said and she pressed her forehead to his as they closed their eyes. "On our own we are strong, but together we are stronger, you're the strength, I am the speed now in our case. But we are like Obi-wan and Siri, Qui-Gon and Tahl, so why should we risk letting anything between us now."
"But though you lost one pairing in best friends in your trio, you and Obi-wan still have Siri and me, we are the very reason you are both so strong. Remember that, love can keep you strong, we just have to insure we never lose each other." she said, and he nodded as he pulled the duo's crystals out and straightened up in shock as he said it.
"Oh force, we're lucky we left when we did, these are bleeding through with a scarlet tinge, the lures of Korriban got to them." he said and she nodded as they quickly turned on their's as they saw her's changed. And from blue to blue with a violet tinge in it and his from blue to the tinge that Mace had in his lightsaber and they nodded in relief.
"I went from guardian to near master guardian and you made full master guardian, the duo are turning into Dark Jedi right now. You made the right call, we had to leave and before his lightsaber went and killed me." she said and he nodded firmly. "I made my choice, to protect you, I was ignoring the lures of that planet and you girls."
"Obi-wan and Ry' kept me strong I did it, I did it, finally, first step to changing the future is ending this mission and before the lightsaber goes now." he said and she nodded smiling happily. "You never lost me Annie, your Tatooine versions of us, all of us would say it to, you can protect us, but making changes to the storyline from here now."
"The only way you could lose us is us losing you, don't you ever change, not like that, you can protect us, just look at it carefully and you protect us. Like you decided now honey." she said and he nodded as he hugged her tightly then, before he felt two presences walk up behind them and they turned to see the duo behind them.
"You heard I guess?" Tru asked and she crossed her arms. "If you mean that the council removed your status participation to your trios then no, I didn't. But for what it's worth, I'm sorry." she said and Anakin nodded. "We're sorry." he said and Ferus looked between them. "Are you, I hear no sorrow in your voice." he said and Anakin said it then firmly.
"I am sorry, but you have to admit, that you got yourselves unto this mess." he said and Tru looked at him shock then, as Anakin looked behind him to see Yoda in his hover chair. And standing next to him were Obi-wan and the seven then. 'Anakin, Darra, don't say anything to alert them we're here, we're running a fast test here now.'
'We weren't around for the debate on Radnor, but we are for this one, as we learned from our mistakes when your brother was a youngling. So run the conversation in the way you would if it was you four only. And we were not listening to this as we're watching him as he tried to provoke you right now.'
'You have done beautifully so keep it up, this is the very same conversation that Dooku had with his own version of Tru.' Mace said softly and Yoda nodded as he flashed the oncoming argument to him then gently and he hid a nod. 'He's playing Lorian, I am Dooku, but I am a far more wiser version to Dooku now in this case.'
'Master, I learned the outlets available to me, I spoke to Obi-wan, I spoke to you and the council, I am not Dooku, all that matters to me, is never losing your trust, any of you.' he said softly to him and Yoda nodded. 'Understand I do, but love him you did, clear it is, and stab you in the heart he has, you learned the lesson, as Dooku has.'
'At times the ones you love most, their betrayal, hurts most it does, but not let it keep you from doing the right thing. But just because one friend betrays you, not mean they all do, so your friends close and your enemies closer, you keep.' he said and Anakin hid a nod to him as Tru answered his remark at that statement.
"A mess?, is that what you call it, how typical of you, you started later then any of us. But the first to get a secure mentor was you, it's like nothing ever touches you, Anakin, every jab, you just brush it off. My life is over as a padawan for 5 years, I no longer have a mentor, do you understand how that feels." he said and Anakin said it forcefully then.
"Why do you keep asking me to feel everything you feel, I can't do that, I am not you." he said and Ferus said it firmly to that. "No you're not us, but we know you better then anyone. We have seen more of what's inside your heart, then anyone." he said and stepped closer to him at that remark firmly then as he finished that sentence.
"I've seen your heart I know how empty it is, I seen your anger and I know how deep it is, I have seen your ambition. And I know how ruthless it is, and all of that will ultimately destroy you." he said and Anakin shook his head at that remark as he said it. "You don't know what you're talking about, you wanted me to lie to protect you, you guys."
"Do you think you're better then me, because you grew up inside the temple, I grew up a slave, as I have said, 1000 times, my life is not all peace, waterfalls and wind chimes. I have seen the true corruption all over the galaxy, but was this to prove to me you're better then me." he said Tru answered that as he said it to him firmly at that question.
"No, it was about friendship, I needed you to help me, like you did when we were younger, what changed?" he asked and Anakin said it sternly. "That is what this is about. You guys have always been jealous of me, that's why you tried to destroy me. And instead you destroyed yourselves, our friendship." he said and Ferus answered him.
"I know one thing, I will never graduate for a couple more years, it's true, but neither will you. You will never be a great Jedi master." he said and Anakin said it firmly. "You're wrong, Ferus, Tru, I did love you, I loved you like a brother. While Dooku could never say what needed to be said, because he felt it made him weak right now, I can."
"But I loved you like a brother, but if I learned anything from this situation. It's that the ones you love most can be the ones that hurt you most, to which you did now. You hurt me, and you hurt her by making this choice, but unlike a dark Jedi. And slowly turning Sithlord, they let their emotions control them, I'm not mad, and do you know why."
"You are the first of many betrayals I have learned today, but the me that was being written out to sound like Dooku. He is gone, I am a Jedi and I will protect my love ones with my life, but to do that it's by staying a Jedi. And Masters why not join us right now, as you heard this entire conversation." he said and they turned to see Yoda at that.
Before they saw the 8 standing there with their arms crossed and they paled as Nejaa Halcyon and Vima Da Boda, as well as Darian Durron walked into the hallway then. "Nicely done Padawan." Vima Da Boda said to him and he smiled at her as he gave her a hug. "Yes Master, and thank you." he said and Mace looked at him gently at that remark.
"Is this close to the same conversation you two had on Radnor?" Mace asked and he nodded. "Yes Master it is, but like then, Darra was standing close as she prevented a loss of temper, just before I caught sight of all of you. But once again, he tried and again I resist the provocation at the moment, once again it's he's furious at me now."
"But it's the near riot he tried to start all over again, and guys, Ahsoka, I know you're listening to this, come on out where I can see you." he said and the duo saw their clan and his future padawan standing there and they both swallowed hard. "Well I see his humiliation is once again turning to provocations." Sari said and he nodded gently to her.
"If this is the you I know when I become your student this is enough I'm furious at what they nearly caused to destroy you Skyguy." Ahsoka added and he nodded as he gave her a hug and she tightened her arms around him protectively. "Irritated maybe, but remember, the trio can have lasting consequences if you let them control you."
"And I just realized my own fatal mistake, but this is what Master meant when he told you that past actions can foreshadow your future. But the what if for my double is what if we never cancelled this mission, what if I never took the detour. And to my planet to check on them, said them my parents and brother." he said and she nodded to him.
"Darra would be gone and your mother captured, and by the time you do go back it's too late as you brush the darkside, out of grief, I get it. But we stopped it and by calling of the mission, before you take that detour and head home to check on your family." the duo said at the same time and he nodded as he looked at Mace to answer him.
"This is the reason nothing changed since Radnor, Master, he's beyond jealous and he's trying to provoke a fight, to make himself look better in your eyes." he said and Mace nodded as he crossed his arms. "Like when we had the droid watching your brother and Bruck when they were 12, we did it again." he said and Anakin nodded to him gently.
"Training droid?" Ferus said in shock and they shifted position to reveal the training droid and he swallowed hard at that, as he realized he'd been set up. "TD-12, you tape the entire conversation?" Darra asked and it answered her. "Indeed Padawan Thel-Thanis, I taped the entire conversation, and very close to another altercation at the moment."
"But I saw this behavior in Padawan Chun when Master Kenobi was a few years younger then you are. And while Master Kenobi flunked that test, you, Padawan Skywalker, pass the test, well done right now." he said and Anakin hid a smile at the praise from the training instructor droid gently at that as Yoda looked at him with gentle pride then.
"Nicely done Anakin showing the true power of being a real Jedi master here, that was very good resisting the barbs thrown, well done indeed. That everything Dooku is you're not, but Dooku, let him have the last word, but believed he did. Not need anymore training he did, but you, show that a few added years still need us you do."
"And much to learn still, you do." Yoda said and he nodded and to him smiling. "Yes Master, the me that would have been born if she had died is gone. This is me as you spent the last 18 months training me now, though I have learned much. More to learn I still do right now, give me 5 more years and then my trials, I'm not ready yet."
"I'm not ready to leave your side, I want more time." he said and they smiled at that. "Advanced training as a master for you, that it padawan?" Mace asked and he nodded to him. "Yes Master, with the fact you chose me as the candidate for the council, that jumps over going right to the trials and instead I'm being trained to join the council now."
"It's been ten years and nothing's changed, at first I thought I was ready, but now I see it clearly, I'm not, not yet, why let go of our bond that fast, once I go to my trials. And I don't have you at my back leading me in the right direction like always. I've always been partnered with one of you, as a knight, it's I'm alone now, so no, not yet, not ready yet."
"But no rush, I'm not ready to leave your sides yet." he said and they nodded. "That only says that, even more, that ready you are, but wish to have more time. And we can grant that, though in training to make the council still, you are." Yoda told him and he smiled. "I know Master, but you, your trust I never want lose that, or any of you now, Masters."
"But just because a person you love betrays you, doesn't mean they always will. So keep your friends close and your enemies closer right now, as his career is on hold. Until after the purges, he's got five years to wait now, as does Ferus, but the key point. Said is trying keep your dignity even with this loss, and trying to start another fight."
"Never works, because I have patience." he said and the council and the quartet nodded. "That's the you I know easily Annie, you made me proud." Obi-wan said and he smiled as he gave him a hug and he tightened his arms around him. Pressing their foreheads together the council, Tiana and Damon felt their bond singing in happiness then.
And they hid a smile as Adi turned to Ferus sternly at that. "Still trying to start a fight are we, young man, what he just said, goes to show right now. That though very good, very powerful after 10 years of training, it's clear, he doesn't want to graduate just yet. In fact he wants more time, he wants to stay a padawan just a little longer right now."
"This is the lesson that Thracia, and we, were trying to each him, why do you want to grow up faster when all it does is bring you more pain and anguish right now. He was happy after he released his resentment and his anguish at Yaddle being murdered. Last year, only now that he got it out of him, he doesn't want to grow up just yet right now."
"He wants to stay our cub, our student a while longer, your attitudes regarding the lightsaber, and a chance to graduate this soon, it's saying to us. Clearly, you're not ready to graduate to the trials at all right now." Mace said to them firmly as Darra moved to Damon and she gave her adoptive father a hug then and he smiled proudly at her.
"Love you my baby." he said softly and she smiled. "Love you to daddy, but like him, not ready to let you or Soara go, I want more time." she said and he nodded. "You're getting it, I nearly lost you on this mission, I'm not taking that chance twice. This was too close, I'm not letting you girls go." he said and she hugged him tightly and Adi nodded sternly.
"That's the real heart breaker right now boys, the rest of you had your parental mentors, mine is gone you two, you don't understand. In many ways, so many ways, he was my father, the darkside murdered my father and it nearly cost me two more people I love. You have your's, I lost mine, so treasure every moment of these days, you two."
"Because you never know when they're going to be ripped out of your life, and in the worst way possible." Anakin said as he wiped the tears off his face and Mace gave him a hug as he tightened his arms around him then. "It was time for that to be said, you hate the darkside for it killing Qui-Gon, we understand that, but you won't lose us too."
"It's okay." he said softly and Anakin looked from him, to Obi-wan and Bant. "I miss him so much right now, for the first time in 10 years, his voice, his face is clear to me. I wish he was standing next to us, as he saw this in the way the 8 of you did. They don't understand, and how could they, they never lost you three or their own mentors."
"They don't know what it feels like to feel the strength of the connection one second and it suddenly going out like a busted light, something being ripped out of your heart. One second I felt father's force connection, and then next it feels like someone. Someone just ripped my heart right out of my chest, I keep hearing Obi-wan's scream of denial."
"The day the Zabrak killed him, Obi-wan was channeling my anger at his stabbing him, it was like I was fighting the Zabrak and I threw my force connection into his. And we took the fatal swing that killed him and dropped him into the reactor shaft. I want my father back, and because of the Darkside he's gone, I wish he was here, I miss him so much."
"I want my father back." he said and the council nodded in understanding as Obi-wan hugged him and he closed his eyes tightly. As the duo felt the fear of that connection coming out as their mentors and parental memtors looked at them. And with angered stern ness in their eyes as they saw him shaking as he finally let go as he started crying.
As Obi-wan felt him shaking in grief and the council nodded knowing that both Qui-Gon's and Yaddle's deaths had come together as one and Mace said it firmly at that. "I was waiting for that to happen and be said finally." Obi-wan said and he nodded firmly. "Do you understand now, only he understands the true meaning of this pain, of grief."
"The loss of a loved one, if we hadn't stopped this mission and one loss triggers a chain reaction as he loses all of us one by one, young man. You just barely destroyed him yourself, to complete his recovery, finally he's going home. And is seeing his mother finally, but this crossed a very serious line." he said with a stern growl and Adi nodded.
"Their teams stayed in one piece, because they did the right thing and 2) they realized at this stage that though they know they're ready. They don't want to, they're not ready to graduate yet, to us in the council and your own mentors. That is the sign of a true Jedi apprentice at the moment, young man." Adi said to her own sternly at that remark
"Trying to trigger another burst of temperament for the third time in 6 years right now Ferus. Well nice attempt, but again it didn't work at the moment, he sees he's not ready and can wait a little longer, but your jab he took it, released it and let it go. So no matter what you try he is a Jedi, he controls the anger, it does not control him now finally."
"As always it's you want to show me what a failure he is, and yet even when you lost a mentor, you're trying to start a fight." Obi-wan said sternly to him. "I take it you cubs were watching the sunset, before this started baby, son?" Damon asked and they both nodded. "Yes father, that's it exactly." Darra said and he hid a smile at that gently.
And at the title she gave him. "You know like I said you're the first of many betrayals that I had and Sidious is the other. But just because someone hurts you this way, it doesn't mean they always will. So keep your friends close and your enemies closer, and you just exposed yourselves to them in that betrayal." Anakin said and they swallowed hard then.
"Try to make it sound like turning evil he is, when just did that now, you did Tru. Confessed that love you like a brother he does, showing remorse for the loss of the man. You were and you become, but in truth now, what not say Dooku did, Anakin has. Loved you like a brother, and that he regrets losing you as a friend now, and as such."
"He is the very meaning of a padawan on the edge of greatness, lost you he has. But show regret, you yourself show nothing but cruel blindness. Not wanting to admit you are wrong, and he is right that you make it sound like never be a Jedi now. But of you, the one who still has his team partner trio is him." Yoda said and Tru and Ferus swallowed.
"They were there the whole time?!" Tru said in shock and they nodded. "Yes and unknowing or not, you just quoted, word for word, nearly. That Count Dooku and his own former friend had when as younglings leading into the choosing ceremony. They wanted to see this attempted provocation you attempted." Darra said and he swallowed hard.
"Another test passed at the moment, very nicely worked out Anakin, proven to me again you have learned much from your predecessors mistakes." Yoda said and Anakin nodded to him as they looked at him quickly as he looked between them. "Attempting to provoke him into a fight are we, Ferus?" Adi asked as she, Mace and Tiana walked in then.
"Well this time we heard the entire conversation, like we would have if we were with you on Radnor now. But once again you tried to provoke him into a fight and he releases the anger as he looks between you. He is showing the true master guardian he is now, but that arrogance is going to lead to self destruction." Damon said, crossing his arms then.
"Nicely done my padawan you did it once again, shown that you can accept the blows, of the barbs. And release them as you let go of the anger in you, he is a true Jedi, but that is beyond cruel right now young man. Even though you've lost us as your mentor trio, you still try to act noble by deliberatly starting a fight." Siri said sternly to Ferus at that.
"You are very arrogant, but in the words my double would say on Anakin if he lost Darra, 'I am very concerned for my padawan. He is not ready to be given a mission on his own yet.'." he said and Yoda nodded. "The council is confident in it's decision Obi-wan.'." he said and Obi-wan nodded as he went further as he crossed his arms sternly at that.
"The boy has exceptional skills.'." Mace added and Obi-wan nodded. "But he still has so much to learn still Master, his skills have made him..., well arrogant.'." he said and Yoda nodded gently. "Yes it's common flaw, more and more, too sure of themselves they are, even the older more experienced padawans and knights.'." he said to him gently at that.
"Recall I do that you yourself were slightly arrogant, before mission to Melida/Daan.'." he added and Obi-wan nodded gently as he said it. "Yes, but I learned humility after that mission, but honestly this situation after losing Darra has me scared out of my wits. He hasn't slept in six months, he's now having nightmares and last night he told me this.'."
"But he's now having premonitions on Shmi.'." he said and they nodded in shock. "Oh lovely right now, we blew one situation and it kills Darra for not stopping that mission. We don't act now and it could kill his mother next at the moment, alright, before you start your mission head for Tatooine to check.'." Mace said and he nodded to the orders.
"But remember Obi-wan, if the prophecy is true then your padawan is the only one who can put the force back into balance.'." he said and Obi-wan sighed softly. "If he follows the right path now Master." he said and they nodded as Yoda said it for both of them. "Indeed, but until that time comes, attend to your duties, you must now Obi-wan.'."
"When solved this mystery of the assassin is, then other riddles might be answered.'." he said and he nodded to the orders as they ended it at that. "One mistake of not ending a mission this soon before it could short out causes a chain reaction. And even if I got there in time, the damage to her body would takes weeks to recover from by then."
"So in our eyes, we stop this, before it even starts and by taking a detour to Tatooine after the mission to Ansion. And head off the attack, before the entire rescue party is murdered as well at the time, aside from Cliegg, Owen and whoever else survived it." Obi-wan said sternly and the duo swallowed hard at the remark then as Obi-wan sighed.
"I'm also extending an offer to Jabba if he needs Jedi help, contact me, and through you Master, it's time, it's not him that deserves your anger. It's his mate Gardulla the Hutt, as his subject he has me as a link into the republic now. We have to prepare for changes that come with being Jedi help to the Rebellion." Anakin said and they nodded to him.
"Indeed, it is time, and you are correct, it's never wise to hold an entire group accountable for the actions of a single person." Mace said to him gently at that remark. "Like the defenders of the dead, prejudices of any kind can be over come if you have the heart to take that chance." Anakin said and they nodded smiling at his wisdom then.
"If that novel says anything those are your trials to Jedi knight Anakin, but you're ready, he's skilled in the old art of fencing padawan. You still have another 9 months left, before your 20th birthday right now and before that mission brings you home again. Your mother and Padme, but one side or the other, it will destroy you if you left it."
"So what's the correct solution to fix that?" Mace asked and he smiled gently. "I have to tell you the truth, it's time to bring both sides of me together as one. As I become the Jedi master I was supposed to be now, but separate lives destroys a Jedi. To be the best of the best you must combine the two together." he said and the council smiled proudly.
"That it's, you're ready now Annie, as I said you go through your life too fast you miss something very vital to it. Said is staring you in the face now, so what is this that you're seeing is missing from your life right now?" Thracia asked him gently. "Finding love and having a family of my own, that's what's missing from my life right now."
"At my stage, if I was still on Tatooine, I would be like Owen, engaged to my friend Amee, being a member of the security detail on the planet. And just to prevent the attacks from getting out of hand, but my life was destined for more. My destiny was to start the first true Jedi dynasty now." he said and the duo looked at him in shock at that.
"The twins?!" Kit said in shock and he nodded to him. "We all knew this was coming, but the children of my bloodline, the force is strong in our family. But there was two things I was destined for now, one is change the code and secondly. It's to teach future generation the dangers of the darkside, had we not stopped this mission right now."
"The offers of that always has strings attached to it." he said, but before they could answer he got hit by another premonition as he saw his son stand over him. And with a green lightsaber and he shook his head and Mace steadied him. "What did you see this time?" Darian asked and he explained that to them as he remembered Yoda's lesson.
