Of the Tatooine Slaves And the future of Anakin's recovery from the damage by the slave trader. And the slaves worst nightmare Krayne, while deciding the fate of Anakin's twin. His clone and alter ego, Darth Vader.
Warnings: With this story, this one picks up right where the Phantom Menace left off, as they arrive at the temple, and every padawan group. And from Obi-wan's, to Anakin's and Ahsoka's decides to change things, as the Council enacts their new Jedi Code. While enroute back from Kamino, Sifo Dyas is murdered and after getting Andy created, and giving the creation of their clone army arranged now.
The meaning of the title is taken from book 3 of the Jedi Quest novels, because in addition to the Podrace, is there is going to be training capture the flag game. Between Anakin's team and the Red Krayt Dragons, who are lead by Anakin's new rival: Brazen Charzin, of Telos V and survival game. In tracking between the Golden Rancors, after a trip back to Kegan to inform the original leaders what they realized.
With this one it's including a team camping trip, a return trip to Kegan and then 7 months later comes the second of 2 final races for Anakin. Before he stops racing altogether in the Galactic Games, and to focus fully on his training. Only the bond, between him and Ferus Olin is far stronger, as the rivalry is between Ferus and Andy. And the teams are split into 5 to 6 members, and he and Andy were on the same team.
This story is going to use the theoretical from my other story, as the Jedi Quest novels. So the remarks in bold print and italic are Vader himself, Anakin is in basic not bold and italicized. So this is and will be as though Anakin and Vader are 2 completely separate beings. As the Jedi, the Naboo and everyone in the galaxy, once he clones himself, know that Vader is a separate entity to Anakin's personality entirely.
With this chapter Anakin creates his twin brother, from his alter ego, creating his name, he's doing one side of it, and the other is the one on thin ice here. With his mother at the moment, before Qui-Gon arrives right now, as the story shifts courses. And he becomes the golden child of his friends, his family, Watto and the Hutts and as well as the town locals, he was everything Ferus is in the Jedi temple now to them.
And as the Jedi see him as the Chosen One, but are training Anakin in secret here, as the lightsaber implication. Is Vader, and everything that involved the darkside was Vader, Anakin himself grows up to be the perfect Jedi padawan, as they all graduate 27 to 29. This chapter is opening with the victory celebration that has Anakin and Obi-wan there for the celebration, only their entire team arrived to join in now…

Chapter 1: The Ceremony, Training Truths and Darkside Recovery Training
"Did the rest of you get it all back?" he asked and her bodyguard and handmaidens nodded gently to him. "We did, but the Emperor said that you were dead, Anakin?" the planetary governor said and he nodded. "I was knocked so far into a coma I might as well be dead, Governor, but Andy, that's my alter ego, turned twin brother. Is his new apprentice, Sith name of Darth Vader, I am Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker, her husband." he said and they nodded.
"Husband and father of her children, she died in childbirth, Luke Skywalker, that's your son!" he said and the preteen nodded gently to him. "Yes, and we're not holding anything back from you, it was a mistake, so before we have a repeater, I'm going to start coming by 10 months. And before you see me again on protection duty in my mandate, so you know now here. We're engaged and getting married, before the war starts." he said and they all nodded smiling then.
"In truth I'm a recently returned Jedi, turned Sithlord, you two, ladies, but rather then trying to fix what Sidious, or Chancellor Palpatine made me do and try and heal the damage. My mentor's girlfriend threw all of us back to this past month in time now, as I created my twin brother. Who is the Sithlord Darth Vader, in 30 years, but we completed the prophecy at the time. Just not in the way the Order expected it now." he said and her entire entourage nodded in understanding.
"That's the Sith version to said prophecy, our's is going to be the Jedi Order/Rebellion Alliance version of it, where we clone Anakin, turning his alter ego into his own twin brother." his wife said and her parents and entourage nodded in understanding. "He's my husband and the father of my children, I had twins, but in order to protect the twins. Obi-wan did as we asked, and separated them, till they were ready to be trained." she said and her sister nodded gently.
"I knew I guessed right, you couldn't admit your feelings after first, because this would put you both in disgrace, baby, that choice killed both of you, time to fix that honey." her father said and she nodded. "I know I told her that already, I was tired of the sneaking around, I didn't care you all knew we were married, as you deserved to see your grand children and niece and nephew. Of her side or the family, and with that, with twins in my version, we better go over this."
"Padme, I think we better rehearse things, as though it wasn't me, but Andy that got chosen to be your bodyguard now and then reverse the playback here." Junior Padawan Anakin Skywalker said and the queen nodded. "If you mean said army of the republic deliberation, good idea, with you I would agree to said leave immediately, that's our 18 month anniversary. But him, as if I'm not aggravated enough already, I got a hormonal teenager, lusting for me right now in truth."
"You're the one I'm engaged and getting married too right now, as our first stop is Bestine Township then we head home." Queen, soon to be Senator, Padme Amidala, said and Senior Padawan/Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi hid a chuckle to that. "Just jump over your assigning Jar-Jar to that position, because this is going to be Andy's thinking. Over Obi-wan as you remember, but in this case, I been with Siri for close to 10 months, dealing with the unifying force training."
"As I deal with getting my premonitions under control and you know why here in why I'm in a much better mood, as not only did I just report in. Darra was awake and my team is 4/5's full power, with Andy about to turn on us, as we just came from Tatooine and saved mom." Anakin said to her and her staff all nodded in understanding. "To fill in the un-answered question here was the move on, is a security breech, of training, Tru's lightsaber was damaged in a mission."
"That mission resulted in putting Darra into a coma, as a result of my just barely preventing a murder, and I told the guys to report that Tru's lightsaber needed more work done. But Andy over heard their conversation before I walked into the cabin, and after a debate. I not only talked them into telling the quartet, I managed to fix what was left of the repairs. Andy heard the conversation, and knew the lightsaber needed more work." Anakin explained to her gently.
"Just age the trio from 10 to 19." he said and they nodded. "I see you and a red headed teenage girl, if this is the planet these come from a Chinese looking going on 19 year old boy. Said with pale skin and silverish blue eyes and a brownish blonde 21 year old boy with steely blue eyes. So that's what they look like as young adults, that's you guys, this was why you're so close, a chance to fix what went wrong, and you're taking it with open arms." her father said to that.
"Yeah Andy chose to hide the fact that it was broken, but the four of us and Dane now, full name of Dane Van Perrill, we're beyond close, but we decided to. And clone the first 4 generation of the academy, and the weeks leading into said Jedi Purge here. We're relocating everyone to Dagobah and Yavin IV, in our case after the twins are born. We're going into hiding on Delaya, and the team and Master Yoda are staying till they're 12." he said and she nodded.
"By that you mean your clan and Obi-wan's clans, us, your parents age group, you clone us and evacuate the entire temple to 2 different planets, we know you're alive. But the entire Jedi Order, as the version our version remembers is extinct and begins anew. With our grandchildren finally, we know that Padme is alive, but she's fighting the war and sent our grand daughter. To come get you and Obi-wan out of retirement, activating our grandson." her mother said to him.
"You know our family never could settle for a normal life, my stepfather is also a farmer, but we're just not farmers, we have too much of our fathers in us. But Sola's husband was considered a safe choice if you prefer a quiet life, but we're freedom fighters, and my father is Master Qui-Gon." he said and she nodded in acceptance. "Though I never liked her being in politics as it's leads to situations like this at least she's happy, she has you as a result now."
"And I have grandchildren, but the sooner the war ends, the sooner I get you and my baby girl back, honey." she said and he smiled gently. "Fair enough, we're going to, after the coast is clear come visit, so you get to see the twins at preschool age." he said and she nodded smiling at that news in delight then. "Dor'me, you're going to be the twins nanny, before you do the same with their baby brother, till they're 5." Padme said and she nodded smiling gently to that.
"So by the end of the war he was sick of this, but here's the exchange, before he lashes out between right now, Obi-wan." Anakin said and he nodded gently. "Hey boys, going over theoreticals in the last weeks before the purge!" they heard from Anakin's leader as a Master guardian and he nodded gently. "Yeah Master, want to join in, we just did the supposed first half here over the lightsaber." Obi-wan said and the Council second in command walked in then.
And following him came the Clone Wars council behind him. "Fair enough, so where exactly, because Palpatine's out of earshot here." Jedi Master Mace Windu, the second in command of the Jedi high council said and they nodded. "My reaction after you denied me a promotion, before he started ranting to Obi-wan, we do that one." he said and Mace nodded. "And again, you guys better clone yourselves, I'm not losing you again." Anakin said and they nodded.
"At least tell you apart we can by the end of the war, as still looking like a padawan you are and Andy like a Jedi knight as well dressed in the same clothes Obi-wan is, you are." the Jedi Grandmaster Yoda said and he nodded smiling. "Shall we?" he asked and they and Jedi Master Ki Adi Mundi started them off, as next morning Anakin changed into his Senior Padawan clothes. And headed for the temple's radio and map room, as he arrived as Obi-wan turned to him.
"Morning guys." he said and they smiled gently. "Morning son, you doing okay, you look tired?" Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn said and he nodded. " It's starting again, first mom and now her." he said and he nodded. "You've missed the report on the outer rim sieges, after yesterday's arrival." Obi-wan said and he nodded. "I'm sorry, I was held up, I have no excuse." he said and Obi-wan and Jedi Masters Siri Tachi, Adi Gallia and Qui-Gon nodded gently in understanding.
"It's fine." Adi said to him and he nodded gently. "More like you over slept, alright what happened this time exactly?" Siri asked and he sighed. "The visions started up again." he said and she nodded. "Darra's awake, and we're alive, after switching places with our clones, so the entire team is intact, and with us is Master Yaddle, Qui-Gon and your mother. Well this is the final save and we win right now against that scum." Adi said and he nodded ad Obi-wan said it.
"In short, they are going very well: Saleucami has fallen, and Master Vos has moved his troops to Boz Pity." he said and Anakin nodded. "That can't be good right now, so what's wrong, then?" he asked and Qui-Gon crossed his arms then. "The senate is expected to vote more executive powers to the chancellor today." he said and Anakin nodded sternly to the news at that. "Great that's just great, now he's interfering in us getting our jobs done." he said and Obi-wan nodded.
"Well, that can only mean less deliberating and more action. Is that bad?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "I feel like all of this is a trap right now." Anakin said and his twin said it gently at that remark. "What could be a trap here is that the Sith are tampering with your visions again right now, you passed that with Shmi." Obi-wan said to him. "It'll make it easier for us to end this war." he said and Anakin crossed his arms then as he answered him at that then.
"Be careful of your friend Palpatine." he said sternly and he said it then. "Be careful of what?" he asked and he explained that to him. "He has requested your presence." he told him and he said it quickly then. "What for?" he asked and him then. "He would not say. He didn't inform the council?" he said to him and he nodded, as he answered him. "That's unusual, isn't it?" he said to him. "All of this is unusual, and it's making me feel uneasy." he said and he nodded.
"Tell him I declined the position, and the council refused, I should be studying with Father and Obi-wan, not be dealing in politics." Anakin said and he looked at him. "What do you mean exactly?" he asked and Anakin crossed his arms. "Palpatine recommended me for a position on the council, but frankly I'm too young and not ready yet. And father and Master Adi denied it immediately." he said and he looked at him in shock at the news then at the news in shock.
"You declined, why, you get to be a master?!" he said in shock and he leaned against Qui-Gon. "You don't have to be a master to be on the council, some of the council are Jedi knights, others, like Master Yoda, Kit Fisto, Mace Windu, mother and Ki Adi Mundi are all masters. I knew this, but frankly, you make master at 30 to 35 and Obi-wan got promoted last year. But right now, with her pregnant, I need to be a padawan, and be with the council, emotional support."
"So I'm perfectly happy with being a padawan, waiting another 10 years to make master, but 5 more as a padawan, 5 as a knight, make master at 33. That's what the council decided, I asked for an extension and they granted it, so I graduate to full knight. And at 28, 5 years a Jedi knight, before I make level I master at the baby's 10th birthday. But the rank doesn't make you a master, as masters they been on the sharp end, been burned a few times, lost a friend."
"Which is the punchline in Master Windu's lecture and Thracia's with him, you push harder, things go faster, why grow up that fast. So got a few years left and on the home stretch, why let that go, when you become a knight, it's lonely without someone to talk to. That's why the council assigned Father to mother, giving Obi-wan someone his own age to talk to. And why we have team quartets, us padawans have a friend to travel with." he said and Adi smiled gently.
"And our's is about to be intact, I recalled Ferus and Tru went to get him, so my quartet are back in one piece and she's out of a coma finally. But Andy, you ever consider that implication is the reason they could deny you being a Master?" he said and Andy flinched at that. "That's right young man, how did you expect us to take it when Ferus left out of graduation jitters. While Darra was in a medically induced coma, and the boys hold off?" Qui-Gon said and he swallowed.
"It's not the Jedi way to lie to one's master Andy." Anakin said and he froze up at that. "Yeah well neither is eavesdropping, were you spying on me?!" he said in shock at that remark. "You're spying on them and I talked them into telling the truth, after I finished the repairs and enough we could prevent her murder. Although the blast further struck the vein, turns out that the blaster shots were laced with the same poison Nobis used on Father." he said and he paled.
"And anyway why rush leaving our parental mentors that fast, when you push training harder it goes faster, the acceleration program is the darkside. In the purest sense of the word, that's why Tru and I decided to forgo, while Ferus learned his lesson. And while he decided sabbatical, we decide we're sticking to the code, another 7 to 8 years training. Why are you in a rush to graduate, we get 14 to 15 years, enjoy it while it lasts." he said and they nodded smiling.
"There that's just the point, why rush growing up, you're 23, still a youngling in our eyes, you are 23, you have much to see. And much to experience, do not hurry the knowledge and wisdom that you seek, for that knowledge takes it's own time." Qui-Gon said and Anakin smiled as he pressed his forehead to his and they closed their eyes. "I'm not ready to just let go, I want more time." he said and Qui-Gon nodded. "Going to be okay, Annie." he said and he nodded.
"Father, she's pregnant, the baby is mine, we're married, have been for 3 years." he said and Qui-Gon nodded. "The she being the queen, our version?" he asked and he nodded. "He told me last night, Father." Obi-wan said and he nodded. "What are your premonitions focused on after losing Shmi and Master Yaddle exactly?" he asked him and he explained that. "Her dying in child birth, I don't know what to do, but I told them everything." he told him and he nodded gently.
"It's okay, but we have two ways about it, one is the crystals, the other is force healing, with me alive I can do that bit and teach you that. But you don't need to be a master to learn force healing right now, just be yourself." he said and Anakin nodded. "Remember the future is not set, there is no fate, but what we make for ourselves. Stand by and I can teach you this, she'll be fine, but you must have faith in the force now." he said and Anakin nodded as he felt it fade.
In his anxiety and Qui-Gon smiled and hugged him. "Faith in the force and faith in you and the council, you know what you're doing, but…., very dangerous time for me. This is a very dangerous time for me right now, where I am to be tempted by the darkside. I can't leave you, I won't right now, I need your guidance, your support." he said and they nodded. "And you have it brother, everything will be fine, just trust us." Obi-wan said and he nodded and hugged him.
"Remember though we get flashes of the future, we can't see the outcome brother, just be patient, we will find a way to help her, going to be okay." he said and he nodded. "After mom, and nearly Darra, I can't do this a third time." he said, his voice shaking and he nodded gently as he answered him. "It's okay, it's okay, it was close with Darra then, could be close now, but I'm not losing you to that scum, be patient." he said and Anakin nodded and hugged him tightly.
"And there's your angered ranting at Ferus, though you said Obi-wan's name, learn to stop people from dying. By force healing, there is no reason to sell our souls to the devil to learn that power, Andy. But I never let it go after you caused Ferus to resign right now, after Darra got knocked into a coma. But we almost lost mom, because Palpatine delayed us, it's not happening again right, be wary of your friend the chancellor." Anakin said sternly and he sighed at that.
"But again, I'm saying no, I declined and you refused, Mother, like you said, not ready yet, I never mastered the patience and maturity yet. Like Obi-wan said, always on the move, still a cub, just in my 23 old body." he said and they chuckled and nodded in agreement. "Since we know he got to him after he killed Dooku and the switch back just ended right now. As we're about to bring Ferus out of sabbatical, I'm your padawan again." he said and Obi-wan nodded.
As he arrived to meet him. "Alright what was that about exactly right now?" he asked and he switched it back. "I'm being appointed to the council, I'm becoming a Master." he said and Anakin nodded in shock. "Master, you're not ready for this right now." he said and Andy said it. "Well the Chancellor thinks I am." he said and Anakin crossed his arms. "That's not up to him, it's up to the council and Master Yoda." he said and turned and charged up to the council.
"Blast it, alright Ferus, like you said, if I ever needed you, just give the call, I'm keeping that promise right now brother." he said sternly as he pressed the door buzzer on the chamber. "Master, Andy just got back." Anakin said and he said and knew they nodded as the door opened as he moved to sit between Adi and Obi-wan. "I thought you said you're not on the council?" Andy asked and he shook his head as he answered him sternly at this right now.
"I'm not, but that doesn't mean Lana and I can't be with our mentors in here, Lana is Siri's current padawan. But that's not what we're in here for Andy, what we're here for is another case of interference that appearance to be. In truth heightening that cloud of ever growing arrogance here, and need I remind you right now. That after the lightsaber you're still under scrutiny for that." he said sternly and Lana nodded in agreement, as Adi crossed her arms at the remark.
"Well that look on your face and the remark on his questioning why you're sitting between Adi and Obi-wan means this is very bad, what happened, baby?" Jedi Master Depa Billaba asked and he sighed. "What's your consideration of a 23 year old, still having padawan tendencies being on the council as I declined immediately knowing that was a test?" he asked and they crossed their arms. "Not likely, he's still very young." Mace said for all of them.
"And not ready he is, as well, but temper tantrums, a master not throw temper tantrums, he does." Yoda added and he nodded and crossed his arms. "Seems that the Chancellor is throwing in another alteration after you decided to fix the damage the war did to the code. He's decided to have Andy act as his personal representative to the council." he said and Yoda nodded sternly. "Indeed that is disturbing news." Obi-wan said and Mace exchanged looks with Adi.
As they exchanged irritated looks. "Allow this appointment lightly the council does not, disturbing is this move by Chancellor Palpatine." he said and Andy nodded. "I understand." he said and Mace said it. "You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of master." he said and he looked at him in shock."What?, how can you do this? this is outrageous, it's unfair, how can you be on the council and not be a master?" he said, shaking in anger.
"Take a seat, young Skywalker." he said sternly to him and he realized his behavior didn't sound like a Jedi knight or a Jedi Master. "Forgive me, Master." he said and he sat down in the chair next to Anakin and Anakin took charge. "Master, regarding things between now and when we find Grievous, I think it best right now, that I study my force healing. But did Obi-wan tell you yet though, it happened finally?" he asked and the council smiled as he answered him then.
"Indeed he did, and congratulations." he said and Obi-wan smiled. "We also agreed with your train of thought, with her pregnant and in her last trimester. But this is the last mission before you go in sabbatical, as we're not letting Sidious get his hands on that baby. As for General Grievous we are still searching." he said and Anakin nodded. "We have surveyed all systems in the Republic, but have found no sign of General Grievous." Ki said and Yoda nodded.
"Hiding in the Outer Rim, Grievous is. The outlying systems, you must sweep." he said and they nodded. "What are you up to exactly Grievous, what is this really about, if you killed the quartet and have their lightsabers?" Anakin asked and Mace nodded in agreement. "Agreed, I don't like this one bit." Adi said in response then. "Could be a trap to separate us, Anakin, wherever he is, you're coming with me, it may take some time..." Obi-wan said and sighed as he said it gently.
"But we do not have many ships to spare." he said and Mace nodded gently in agreement then to that. "We cannot take ships from the front line." he said and Anakin leaned forward in his chair. "Agreed that's dangerous, we make an aggressive move, they'll only respond further with violence of their own." he said and Obi-wan nodded in agreement. "And yet, it would be fatal for us to allow the droid armies to regroup.." he said and Yoda nodded gently as he answered him.
"Master Kenobi, our spies contact, you must, and then wait." he said and he and Anakin nodded then. "Yes Master we will, as of right now this turning point in the war is concerning me, why appoint him to the council now. When we're on the homestretch, it doesn't make any sense right now." Anakin said for both of them and he nodded. "Indeed, concerning it is for me as well Annie, not like this one bit I do, either." he said and Obi-wan and Mace nodded in agreement.
"What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?" Ki asked and Anakin leaned forward at that. "Indeed I agree with him right now, our relations with the Wookies will be vital in the future now, sensing the future, my daughter. She, my family, is the honor family for one of the wookie clans there, saving their village is vital." Anakin said and he nodded sternly. "Her husband is the best friend of one of the Wookie families?" Kit repeated and he nodded gently.
"They know what we're capable of, but it's best to send a family friend, as I get the feeling that once one of them connects to us, we know we got a further way in, in sum years." he said and they nodded in understanding. "It is critical we send an attack group there, immediately!" he said and Obi-wan nodded. "He's right, that is a system we cannot afford to lose, it's the main navigation route for the southwestern quadrant." he said to that and Anakin nodded then.
"Currently we're grounded till we know where Grievous is, then we head out, brother." he said and Obi-wan nodded gently that. "I know that system well, it would take us little time to drive the droids off that planet." Anakin said as Andy and Mace said it sternly. "Skywalker, your assignment is here with the Chancellor currently with him assigning you as his rep. And your brother and Master Kenobi must find General Grievous." he said and he looked down.
"That's the downside Andy, of being his representative, you're grounded till further notice, Master, wherever Grievous is. Permission to join Obi-wan on the mission right now, after I'm done I'm checking in with you." he said and Mace nodded. "Very well, go with Obi-wan on mission, after learning where is, he is, you will now. As for the Wookies, if part of the family he is to you, will help I will and my contact he is amongst them." Yoda said and then said it gently.
"Go, I will, good relations with the Wookiees, I have." he said and Anakin nodded. "I agree with him, you, Master, he, you, should go, but we're finishing this with Grievous. Obi-wan and me, our team like always now." he said and Adi, Kit, Shaak Tii, Agen and Saesee nodded. "Indeed and it is settled then: Master Yoda will take a battalion of clones to reinforce the Wookiees. On Kashyyyk, may the Force be with us all." Mace said and they nodded, as they adjourned then.
After assembly ended he was listening to his padawan, who was acting like his alter ego, in ranting about what he and the council decided. "What kind of nonsense is this, put me on the Council and not make me a Master?! That's never been done in the history of the Jedi. It's insulting!" he said in annoyance and Anakin said it sternly. "I told you, you weren't ready yet, a Jedi Master does not throw temper tantrums." he said and Obi-wan nodded then.
"Calm down, Andy, you have been given a great honor, to be on the Council at your age…, it's never happened before, listen to me. Andy, but the fact of the matter is you're too close to the Chancellor, the Council doesn't like it when he interferes in Jedi affairs." he said to him and he said it in annoyance. "I swear to you, I didn't ask to be put on the Council…" he said to him and Anakin nodded. "No, but it's what you wanted." he said to him and Obi-wan nodded.
"But it's what you wanted! Your friendship with Chancellor Palpatine seems to have paid off." he said and Andy said it in annoyance then. "That has nothing to do with this." he said and Anakin nodded. "Uh huh, this was why I took back my promotion to knight, and went back to being a padawan. As my loyalty is to Father and Obi-wan only, but to paraphrase this is duty to the truth, duty to your friends now here, I'm not around for the intended manipulations, Andy."
"The darkness surrounds this decision, I see it so clearly right now, but do you, when you created that lightsaber, you never looked up the meanings on colors. That could be your undoing now, if you don't pay close attention, I've been working at connecting to this. In the way Obi-wan had to sense there is a very elusive evil here, a phantom menace here. His target is you, something is very wrong, the timing is too perfect right now in truth here, but listen."
"We get recalled from the Outer Rim, just as we're in the final trimester, of her pregnancy, directly after you kill Dooku, he appoints you to the council as his representative. Doesn't that seem a little strange to you, every time you get ready to investigate. Another premonition shoots up, it's too easy, like he knows your feelings." he said sternly to him. "Andy, regardless of how it happened, you find yourself in a delicate situation." Obi-wan said and he sighed ather.
"You mean divided loyalties." he said and Anakin nodded sternly. "I was waiting for this to happen from the moment I felt the force around Dooku quit." he said and Obi-wan nodded in agreement to his opinion. "I warned you there was tension between the Council and the Chancellor, I was very clear, why didn't you listen? You walked right into it." he said sternly to him. "The Council is upset I'm the youngest to ever serve." he said to him and he sighed.
"No, it is not, Andy, I worry when you speak of jealousy and pride, those are not Jedi thoughts, not Jedi at all, they're dangerous, dark thoughts." he said and he sighed. "Master, you of all people should have confidence in my abilities, I know where my loyalties lie." he said and Anakin nodded. "I hope you're right, Andy, I'm worried about you." he said and Obi-wan nodded. "I hope so..." he said in agreement to that as he sighed then as he answered him.
"I sense there's more to this talk than you're saying." he said and Anakin exchanged looks with Obi-wan and he nodded. "Andy, the only reason the Council has approved your appointment is because the Chancellor trusts you." he said and Andy nodded. "And?" he asked and he sighed. "Andy, look, I am on your side, I didn't want to see you put in this situation." he said and he looked between them "What situation?" he said and Anakin sighed at that.
As Obi-wan said it as he said it. "The Council wants you to report on all of the Chancellor's dealings, they want to know what he's up to." he said and he looked at him in shock. "They want me to spy on the Chancellor? That's treason!" he said and Anakin said it. "Andy this looks to us, like a Sith trap, we want to know if he's connected to Sidious, Omega's father did this, before he tried to kill Bant by drowning her." he said and Obi-wan nodded gently then.
"We are at war, Andy, the Jedi Council is sworn to uphold the principles of the Republic, even if the Chancellor does not." he said to him. "Why didn't the Council give me this assignment when we were in session?" he asked and Anakin said it sternly. "That's no concern of your's Andy, but Padme and I discussed this last night, as she and Bail now. They're as worried as we are to this situation, it's not on record." he said and Obi-wan nodded in agreement then sternly.
"This assignment is not to be on record, the Council asked me to approach you on this personally." he said and Andy said it quickly then. "The Chancellor is not a bad man, Obi-Wan, he befriended me, he's watched out for me ever since I arrived here. he said and Miro swung his hand up in annoyance. "Andy, open your eyes, the Chancellor is a Sithmaster." Soara said gently at that and Siri crossed her arms as they and Ry' watched the conversation.
"That is why you must help us, Andy, our allegiance is to the Senate, not to its leader, who has managed to stay in office long after his term has expired." he said to him and he said it gently. "Master, the Senate demanded that he stay longer." he said to him then and he sighed then. "Yes, but use your feelings, Andy, something is out of place." he said and Anakin nodded. "Andy something's wrong, it's out of place." he said and he said it in anger then to him then.
"You're asking me to do something against the Jedi Code, again the Republic, against a mentor . . . and a friend. That's what's out of place here, why are you asking this of me?" he asked and Anakin sighed. "We're not, Andy." he said and Obi-wan nodded. "The Council is asking you." he said and he looked down. "I'll do it." he said and they nodded, as he walked away and they nodded. "The finish up, before we leave." Anakin said to them gently.
"So this is the last mission for you, and you came back, after the rampage in the temple, before we go on sabbatical right now?" Padme asked and he nodded gently to her. "Yeah and though you were relieved he was okay, you knew something was very wrong. And as I came back to investigate, before Obi-wan followed me and the story becomes what he told Luke. So Master Yoda, I'm leaving a message in the system and send Obi-wan in after me." he said to him then.
"Like I thought, he didn't take our decision lightly here, with you testing him further in divided loyalties, Master, he's highly offended by that decision." he said, sitting next to Yoda gently at that and Obi-wan nodded in agreement. "Andy did not take to his assignment with much enthusiasm." he added and Mace nodded. "You always were more humble of the two of you anyway Annie, but then after arriving, you bonded to me and your brother, your bond to us."
"Loyalty to us, Adi, your father and Master is beyond question, you would never turn on us." he said and Yoda nodded in agreement to his opinion. "I am very concerned about him, he's not ready for mastery, his skills have made him beyond arrogant." Anakin said and Yoda nodded in gentle agreement to that. "Agreed, he's not ready, but you sure are, but if you wanted another 10 years that's fine we can do that, as for Andy now." Mace said and Yoda nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, too much under the sway of the Chancellor, he is, much anger there is in him, too much pride in his powers, that never stopped." he said and Anakin nodded then. "Indeed, I always knew that allowing him unlimited accident to Andy here was a mistake right now. But this is even worse, the more time he spends around him, the more his thoughts over us. The Jedi are being corrupted here right now, but that's not all of it, in your opinion, Master Yoda."
"I know it, but with his stress levels over Padme, with her being pregnant right now, well that's not helping matters right now." he said and they nodded. "He's not the father of the twins or her husband, why is he worried?" Obi-wan asked sternly and he shook his head. "You knew he was attracted to her from the time we were younglings, Obi-wan, remember. I had a bad feeling of leaving him alone with her, and switched places, which turned out to be an accurate choice."
"She fell in love with me, and we told you, Mon, Carl, Jan and Bail ahead of time, we're engaged, before getting married. But with them preparing to rebel against him, now, I see a case of his siding with the Chancellor. But before the war started, he stated he didn't think the system works in the senate, only. By that, my only thought is if he joins with the decision to over throw the Jedi and turn the senate into a dictatorship, it's only the beginning now in truth."
"The Chancellor was only a means to an end, the real power in his eyes comes from the darkside, but the premonitions on mom started again." he said and Mace nodded. "Got worse though and are focused on her now, and adding this mission is not helping matters." he said and the trio nodded sternly, as they exchanged looks then. "It's very dangerous, putting them together, I don't think the boy can handle it, I don't trust him." Mace said carefully at that news.
"He'll be all right, I trust him with my life." Anakin said and he nodded. "Honestly Annie, Obi-wan, I wish I did, I knew you longer, you're closer to me anyway. But his attitude in council this morning is highly worrying." he said and Anakin nodded. "With all due respect, Master, is he not the Chosen One? Is he not to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force?" Obi-wan asked him then. "So the prophecy says." he said and Yoda nodded as they both looked at Anakin.
"A prophecy . . . that misread could have been, it could be you instead, Annie." he said and Anakin nodded. "If it is, then my son gets my chair, but it's going to be close now." he said and Mace and Yoda nodded in agreement. "He will not let me down. He never has." he said and Yoda nodded. "I hope right you are. And now destroy the Droid armies on Kashyyyk, I will. May the Force be with you." he said and they nodded. "See you soon, Master." he said and Yoda smiled.
"You as well my padawans, see you when come home, I do." he said and as he left and got on the ship, as they watched him join Chewie's younger self. And leave for the Wookiee homeworld, before the trio returned to the temple. "So that sums up the end of the war, he barely kills both of you and the twins, and this all started with a trip to where?" Ruwee Naberrie asked and he crossed his arms. "Trip to Korriban it was: the Sith home planet." he said and he nodded then
"Exactly, by that point, before the war ends, he's become disillusioned in being a Jedi, because 1) the council denied him his right to master and 2) accept Sidious's request. But not lightly and finally she's pregnant, and we're both going on sabbatical as I got a last minute mission. To contend with, but he never had an apprentice as that's part of the requirements. But he's also stoking over their still holding Tru's lightsaber over him." he said and they all nodded sternly.
"That makes a good reason to keep him from getting into the trials yet, he was holding back the fact that Tru's lightsaber needed more work done on it, and some sort of status check. If he adjusted whatever it was on it, before you did that for him, and told him to it. Now, needed an adjustment, said you repaired and took care of." she said and Obi-wan nodded in agreement sternly. "That's the reason exactly, but we never let it go since." he said and she nodded then.
"Darra just woke up at the time we finished said trip to Tatooine, and I just got that news, so not only am I in a much better mood, you know I'm fully rested and I can protect her now. Because we're taking her back up personal transport back up here now." Anakin said and they and her handmaidens nodded in understanding. "So good new on both ends, two people you love are alive and awake now from said injury, okay." Governor Sio Bibble said to that gently.
"You also know that we been together 10 to 18 months and it's been that long that my name is all you hear her talk about now by this point. You knew she was waiting for me to say it, that we're close to getting engaged now. As that this was actually a case of half protection/half courting now, I was getting ready to propose to her. When on this trip now as well, and you knew they changed the code as well, that she and I are united." he said and they nodded.
"Eighteen months huh, well I see why this is a case of jealousy, in why Siri immediately steps in and suggests a switch up. As I'm not hearing a lover's quarrel getting started between you, after she chooses your hiding place on our planet, with you both on sabbatical. With us not knowing who's who between you, till you turn on that lightsaber." Captain Dack Quarsh Panaka said then. "And to say this again now, is I'd be more worried about her doing something then him now."
"But come on, M'lady really, I get you're aggravated right now with his twin brother, but you don't need to take it out on us. When we're just trying to make sure you're protected after you humiliated the Trade Federation in the old switcheroo." his nephew, Lieutenant Commander Gregor Typho, said and their mentor looked down with a chuckle then. "Okay shall we now, before I have to break up the argument?" Obi-wan said to her and she nodded smiling then.
"Jump it back 3 years after what we decided right now on that, after Andy left for the Chancellor's office we deliberated and decided to split the difference. As Master Guardians are basically like local security, she's in witness protection and the Consulars and Guardians. They deal with domestic disputes and this could be seen as one after Gunray lost his mind. After we came to force the settlement." Mace said and Anakin nodded as she looked at Anakin then.
"I do not like this idea of hiding." she said in annoyance and Anakin pretended to be his alter ego, turned twin brother, who was looking forward to to being her bodyguard. "Don't worry: Now that the council has ordered an investigation, it won't take Master Obi-Wan. Long to find this bounty hunter." he started to say and she said it in irritation then to him. "I haven't worked for a year to defeat the Military Creation Act, to not be here now."
"And when its fate is decided." she said and he said it. "Sometimes we must let go of our pride and do what is requested of us." he said and she nodded. "Andy, you've grown up." she said and he sighed. "Master Obi-Wan manages not to see it." he said and then moved to the window. "Don't get me wrong: Obi-Wan is a great mentor, as wise as Master Yoda and as powerful as Masters Jinn and Windu." he said, levitating a glass sphere, before it landed.
And in his hand then as he went further then. "I am truly thankful to be his apprentice." he said and then said it in annoyance. "In some ways, a lot of ways, I'm really ahead of him." he said and then blurted it out to her. "I'm ready for the trials, but he feels that I'm too unpredictable, he won't let me move on." he said and she looked up. 'Move on from what exactly, what is Obi-wan still holding over him.' she thought as she said it gently then.
"That must be frustrating." she said and he unloaded it then in irritation. "It's worse: He's overly critical, he never listens, he…, he doesn't understand, it's not fair!" he said and she said it in understanding. "All mentors have a way of seeing more of our faults than we would like, it's the only way we grow." she said and he sighed as he sat down at the foot of her bed. "I know." he said in exhaustion at that and she moved to him gently then at the remark then.
"Andy: Don't try to grow up too fast." she said and he stood up gently. "But I am grown up, you said it yourself." he said and Typho's eyes narrowed in concern then. 'Don't get any ideas young man, she belong's to your twin brother.' he thought sternly to that suggestive look on his face then. "Please don't look at me like that." she said uneasily to that and he said it softly. "Why not?" he said and she said it abruptly as she moved away from him at that question
"It makes me feel uncomfortable." she said in finality at that remark and moved to finish packing. "Sorry, milady." he said and they nodded. "Yeah I call that a hormonal teenager, when Anakin has more manners and knows not intrude upon your personal space." Her handmaiden, Dor'me, said to her and she nodded. "Yeah okay that's Andy, and here's you and me, because after seeing mom 7 times in 9 months now." he said and she smiled gently then.
"Yeah hearing you're dreaming about her, best investigate and we can both relax now." She said and he nodded. "Andy, shift change, you better rejoin Obi-wan at the temple, we're stopping by to check on mom first, then bringing her home. But Siri has the protection duty and Obi-wan has the search, but Mace, Mother, Siri and I. We have the security here right now and for the record, it's your own fault you blew it into advanced training now." he said and he sighed then.
"To answer the unasked question, said won't let him move on is a training violation, we were on the Sith home planet, and the chance to graduate over ruled common sense. And barely killed Darra, while Ferus left out of graduation jitters, Tru's lightsaber was broken. And only by luck I managed to prevent the shot from killing her, by shoving it from kill to maximum stun." he said and Dor'me crossed her arms as she and Typho nodded sternly as Andy sighed at the reminder.
"You know lightsabers colors now, but him red, me purple." Anakin said and turned on his lightsaber and the trio nodded. "Okay with you completely identical twins, it's just the clothes and lightsabers telling you apart, you're also dressed like Obi-wan. He's dressed in a going dark brown flightsuit, we can tell who's who now." she said and he nodded, as Padme turned around and saw his familiar blue eyes and the loving smile on his face to her and she smiled in delight.
"Sorry to intrude M'lady, Captain, ladies, the council sent me in his place, my adoptive mentor and parental mentor is the other side of our partner pair up: The Gallia/Tachi team." he said and she smiled at the reveal. "The duo no older then Obi-Wan and Master Jinn?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "Yep, Mace, and my adoptive team are covering security, the rest of the council, Obi-wan and Father have the investigation." he said and they nodded in relief gently at that.
"So the council ordered I'm to stay with Obi-wan, you have her." he said and Anakin nodded. "Yeah double duty now, after Mace sent you to talk the Chancellor right now, they changed plans and decided a trip to Tatooine was in order. Before she comes home, they assigned Siri and me to protecting her, you have the Investigation. But our twin bond was a cause of concern in the eyes of the council, that one is concern, two check on that lead, now."
"But she and I are engaged right now, Captain I'm Anakin Skywalker, that's my twin Andy." he said and Typho nodded in relief now that he got the right twin then. "Annie!" she said and he hugged her tightly. "You just get back right now?" she asked and Anakin nodded. "Yeah the council deliberated and I told them the truth, we're getting engaged during this mission. They're fine with it." he said and she nodded smiling at the news as Dor'me chuckled at the response.
"I'm sorry about Cor'de, whoever did that is being arrested, I'll protect her Captain you have my word right now, but I'm your Jedi counterpart, as her personal bodyguard. The code was updated and changed we can fall in love and get married now, have children." he said and they nodded gently then. "Thank you and we appreciate that right now, stay safe and like Obi-wan said: the radio is off till they find him, whoever it is." he said and Anakin nodded gently then.
As Andy left and Anakin settled in then. "How's the packing going right now, because depending on how long we'll be gone, best to load up now." she said and he nodded. "I'm packing 4 sets of trunks actually." she said and he nodded. "As I told him, instead of immediately back to Naboo, we're dropping by Tatooine, they realized if both of us are having premonitions. This could be another sith trap to get me to brush the darkside." he said and she nodded sternly to the news.
"I do not like this idea of hiding, right now Annie." she said in annoyance and Anakin nodded in understanding to that. "Don't worry: Now that the council has ordered an investigation, it won't take Master Obi-Wan and Andy. Long to find this bounty hunter, but we've got another problem to check on and mom's it." he started to say and she said it in irritation then to him. "I know, it's just I haven't worked for a year to defeat the Military Creation Act, to not be here now."
"And when its fate is decided." she said and he said it. "Sometimes we must let go of our pride and do what is requested of us." he said and she nodded. "I know that, but after all the work we put into it." she said and he nodded. "Well fortunately we know the circumstances, the council rigged the said army at the moment, they're programmed, in 9/10's of the said number. To answer only to the Jedi and Loyalist committee." Anakin said and she nodded in relief then.
"The council think this army is going to rebel sooner or later, but too late we programmed them to respond to only our orders, but the good news is the council rigged the chance cubes." he said and she smiled. "They think that Dooku is involved, if he retired?" she said and he nodded. "They do, and they're looking into it, but we think that this bounty hunter is in league with him, we find him, we find Dooku." he said and she nodded with a relaxed smile gently at the news.
"As for you and me, it's time we both needed a break, but you give and give, just once should you be allowed to take." He said and she nodded as she hugged him tightly. "I already did with you, Annie, we're engaged and getting married, but neither us can settle for a normal life. There is still so much good we can do in the galaxy." she said and he nodded, smiling. "Baby has to understand that, she gives and gives, just once should she be allowed to take right now."
"But our family is the starting point, we just dropped the act, and threw it in his face, that instead of Andy taking this mission I do, he's staying with Obi-wan. But Siri and I have you, Obi-wan and Andy have the investigation, everything is going to be fine. Once we check on mom and then head for your family estate." Anakin said and she nodded smiling at the destination then. "Nice choice right now, dad would agree to that." she said and he nodded smiling then.
"You know my friends in both the Jedi and my home crowd adore you and my mother loves you like a daughter that she's getting a chance to see you again. But this is your first meeting of my stepfamily now: The Lars's as I programmed the ship to the designated coordinates. And knowing Owen, he's passing Threepio back to me now at the time, everything going to fine. As I gained the power of soul and force healing." he said and she nodded smiling then gently.
"Well we dropped the act, after said session in his office last night, we know he and Sidious are one and the same right now, we're just playing along till he reveals himself to Andy." he said and she nodded sternly. "Yeah alright there we go now that works, so like Dack said now, are we going to let the Chancellor strong arm us into submission. Or fight to free not just us, but the entire galaxy, answer: we choose to fight now." Sio said sternly and her entourage nodded.
