Chapter 7: The Decision, The Retrial And The Mission Begins IV
As he wiped the tears off his face. "My alter ego ate the fish-hook, seeing as only I know what transpired at the arena. I help him, or he exposes to everyone we eloped and married in secret, and she's pregnant, to protect my children from him. And I better explain this, you knew, like 'he' did, if I were to have children, they would be a threat to him. Because once I realized I had twins I had enough power, as me, to kill him myself and come back." he said and they nodded.
"My soul was trapped at the age I turned at, that was 23 years old, so though physically 9 years old, I'm mentally, after my soul freed itself, 46 years, but that's 36 years from now. We destroyed the weapon they would have used twice, and the second I killed our Sithmaster. The one who is the mentor of our Zabrak now, but currently after being stuck like that now. For the following 23 years, after my children were born, I need to get used to being fully human again."
"And back in my own body, though I'm turning 10 in 2 weeks right now." he said and they nodded in amazement. "So 36 years and you turn 10 pretty soon, so that's making us, as your parents age group 76 to 80 years old now. While your brother the next one down at 60 to 62 and you and your's 46 to 48 years in your mental present." Mace said and he nodded. "And frankly, I never been more thrilled to get you all back now." he said and they nodded then.
"And there it is, what happened exactly here, towards the end now?" he asked and he explained that. "Directly after we got asked to return from warfront in the Outer Rim, what could be considered a war crime resulted in a fight to the death. And it not crossing our minds here, that our Chancellor elect and our Sithmaster could be one and the same. He ordered me to kill Dooku, after he turned on us." he said and Mace nodded and as they exchanged worried looks.
"Looking back on that now, I realized he did that so no one knew his identity too soon, before the end of his 3-piece plan was over. But the first was by doing the blockade, to disrupt your getting to know me, demoralization had to do with killing mom. While at the same time, my remembering that it had been 8 months since Darra's murder. And my team torn apart, and the other side of the demoralization was you denying my rank of promotion." he said to him then.
"And the distraction here, was while we're close to going back to the code, he has you send the only two people capable of talking some sense into me. Before I give into the lust and greed, of wanting more, before he revealed himself, but the sins. Are a one way ticket to an early grave or worse, combined into this 3-piece plan to destroy us." he said and Mace nodded. "Then we're not falling for it a second time, once our elect makes office." he said sternly and Anakin nodded.
"The elect is Senator Palpatine." he said and they nodded sternly. "Then if he gives that line, I'm saying it outright, but you don't need your abilities, sensitivity or your title. Now thrown at you every time you turn around, you're special, we all know that right now. But what you don't need is having those thrown at you every time you turn around. It's family business where your training is concerned, and since he is not family, stay out of our affairs, from now on, my lord."
"Stay away my padawan, from now on, you are off limits, my lord." he said for all of them and Anakin nodded. "Yeah you still called me that, even at 23 years old, though a young adult, you don't see me that way, but still how I look right now." he said and the 7 and Obi-wan nodded in agreement to his opinion. "Indeed, to me, though you're a senior padawan/knight, I still see you when you first came to us, my job to protect you with your brother gone." he said to him gently.
"You're my boss, Mace." he said and Mace nodded, now seeing the skill and maturity in the borderline 10 year old in front of him. "But before our Sithmaster executed all of you, the ones still here on the capitol, you appointed me to the council. Under protest, because to you I wasn't ready yet and wouldn't be for another 10 years." he said and he nodded. "But again, what's your consideration to my having repeated visions of someone else I love hurt or endanger here."
"And this happens in the middle of training, I'm also in hiding as my friends and sister, if I was also a twin, start, as I told you where the fleet was, they're trying to get back to the fleet. Where our friends are, not knowing whether or not the general was still alive right now, one of Organa's general's after my sister and I just got back together. Not realizing the reason they went there was to get Damon's grandson, and report in." he said and Mace covered his eyes.
"But it had been 6 month with the hyperdrive on the family ship out right now, and I'm 6 months into my creche training, doing telekinetic weight lifting. While in the middle of a handstand and the sudden loss of my focus, is not only did I drop Artoo. I collapsed in the middle of it and thankfully, you jumped clear, before I landed on top of you. You remembering this with big me, as little me's father?" he asked and Yoda nodded gently to him at the theory.
"Dare I ask, who of us was with you when you realized you found him standing directly in front of us?" Kit asked and he sighed. "You, Saesee, Mace, Agen and Shaak Tii, I was just admitted to the council, under training this was my final test, in trust right now, Master." he said and he and Mace nodded sternly. "Then we realized your time table just ran out in your case and trying to keep him from destroying your soul, we had to act now." Ki said sternly to that news then.
"I'd consider that a trap, you find out too soon, you're going to be so in shock, you can't focus, after I just went through this with our you. After seeing you looking like you got stung by a fever wasp, and you're too sick to focus here. And you're, we now realized just got out of remission, and are close to being killed by a cancer. We don't act now, and we're going to lose you." Mace said quickly and the council members still there on the planet nodded in agreement.
"And that we have to protect the baby, or babies, if you told us she's pregnant right now, because we have to cut him out of you, and slam the door and lock it. Turned, came back and live to tell about it, my new next in command now." he added and Anakin nodded gently as he answered him then. "Well that was me in 13 years now, but the other is my son, we're talking about, you remember this, you also knew about my premonitions." he said and Yoda nodded.
And now seeing this for what it was, and knowing he should have told this to his version and fast then, before he walked right into a trap right now. "See this I do as this could be a trap, and think you should stay with me and complete the training. But you must not go, it is you that Sidious wants, you and your powers, but lost adult you. Because not see this till the end I was that Sidious was standing directly in front of me all that time." he said and Obi-wan nodded.
"But you don't know they will be, even Master Yoda can not see their fate, but yes, you can feel the force, but right now you can't control it. This is a very dangerous time for you, where you'll be tempted by the darkside, and after losing Andy to Sidious. I don't want to lose you, but Sidious killed your father by using Andy to do so, I can't lose you. The way I lost your father, or worse, the way I lost Andy, so have patience and trust we know what we're doing right now."
"But the future is never set in stone, there is no fate, but what we make." he said and Anakin sighed. "That's just the problem, Andy never considering just asking for your help, the script in force healing, if he, if I, had, I'd still be me, and the Order would still be alive in 36 years now." he said and Yoda nodded as one of them said it gently. "What happened, if we lost you to him, directly after Dooku died at your hands?" Mace asked him and he sighed then gently to him.
"After skipping out on arresting the droid leader, we brought Palpatine back to the capitol, you knew Padme was close by at the time. You all knew how she and I felt about each other, not realizing we been married for 3 years. But right after a fast welcoming hug, she told me she was pregnant, and knowing my timer was up. I intended to tell you in a council meeting, the next day, before I got the summons, I was being appointed to the council." he said and they nodded.
"That night, I started having the same premonitions that I had of my mother, before she died out of her injuries from the Raiders now. The next morning after getting that summons, he told me he was appointing me, as his personal representative to the council." he said and Mace nodded. "At 23 years old, you just made knight 18 months prior, you're not ready for this, or being promoted to Master yet, though you're called Master already." he said and Anakin nodded.
"I know, and though you agreed, under protest, you granted me my seat on the council, but not a promotion, before deciding to have me spy on him. Not realizing you just threw me right into our Sithmaster's influence." he said and Mace and Yoda nodded. "Okay, we're appointing your twin to that assignment, you are to stay with your brother. But just give us the key details here to who the mustafar it is we're dealing with here, because we're starting over starting tonight."
"Now with you, erasing what he filled your head with, with the real training you need now, as we get a second chance to make this right. I assume you knew us all your life, as we lost a few people here and there, before this war, that Adi and Qui-Gon told us about. A prophecy, after they went to get Olana Chion." Master Ki Adi Mundi said and he nodded. "Yeah and the clan called her Lana, but she and Ferus are like Obi-wan and Siri, she's a good friend of mine."
"But my entire clan are me, Lana, Tahiri Kaneberrie, Dane Van Perril, Ferus, Tru Veld, Darra Thel Thanis, Wedon Bedoni, Sarika, Corran Dameron and Carmen Antilles." he said and Yoda nodded gently. "The Mighty Bear Clan, then return you to your clan, I will." he said and Anakin smiled in relief. "I take it you never understood what the Keganite Guides meant by that?" he asked and she and Qui-Gon nodded. "It was extremely vague." he said and Anakin nodded.
"Well your eyes weren't playing tricks on you, if you saw Obi-wan aged 45 years in truth, he exiled himself to Tatooine to protect my son from Sidious, our Sithmaster." he said and Qui-Gon nodded in shock. "Living in the desert, not our spaceport, but directly out in the desert ages you another 8 years, so 58 years old, you look 66. But in truth here is that prophecy focuses on my children, the Sith/Rebel wars, in 32 years now." he said and he nodded in shock to the news.
"To understand this, this connects to your conversation, Adi, you and Father understand this better than the others do now, because you heard it from the Keganite lead guides. I can translate this, but one side of the prophecy was a Sith win, the other a Jedi win now. They wiped us out, and we come back when my kids are 20, but time for peace, time for war. The Sith are war, the Jedi are peace, fighting to restore peace back to the galaxy." he said and she nodded.
"We wiped out the Sith and they return and been plotting our downfall for sum years and your twin, your alter ego is the target?" Mace said and he nodded. "Exactly, we never saw this coming till the night, he revealed himself to me, that night the purge happened. After you and Saesee, Kit and Agen Kolar tried to arrest him, before you got into a heated death-match. With him, and Andy took your wrist off and he blasted you out the window." he said and they nodded.
"Issues in the habit, you been calling us Master for 13 years, that telling you to call us by name, not easy to break habit and do that." Ki said gently and he nodded. "Yeah exactly 13 years, I'm about to turn 10, so exactly 10 years training, and 4 more till my twin children are born. But reading this out the way Obi-wan told my son, I'm the best fighter pilot in the galaxy. A skilled and cunning warrior, and I was a very close friend to all of you." he said and their eyes gentled.
As Mace leaned forward. "But as Obi-wan would say, the dark times are where blasters are highly used, rioting in the streets, bar fights, and so on. Everybody forgot we were the keepers of peace and justice, it's not till the Sith had a foothold. Did they come to regret ever not turning to us for protection, guidance and advice, till the Alliance. They were working out their battle plans, without a guiding hand, they'd screw up, they're done for, but to translate it all."
"Army of one man dressed in armor, white armor, that's Jango Fett X's 16,000,000, a man dressed in black, wearing a black helmet and carrying a blood red lightsaber. Is Andy, a man with a disfigured face covered by a cloak, that's our Sithmaster, his alias, created a dictatorship. Said moon sized weapon was a weapon they created, meant to vaporize planets, the resistance now, is the senate loyalist committee, lead by a brother/sister duo, my kids, her husband."
"And their friends." he said and she nodded. "The darkness coming from us and spans outwards, that's the power of the darkside and the shroud, in 32 years." he said and she nodded in understanding. "Only your father and I know what was said and you translated all of it for me now, so the Sith/Rebel wars, and our Sithmaster is the mastermind for this entire plot." she said and he nodded. "Yeah and you're mom in personality." he said and she smiled at that news.
"Something happens to mom, I'll be mourning for a while, but I'll be okay, because I never lost you, or the duo, that's Winna and Tiana right now. In the Jedi family, and to say this now, if Andy starts spending too much time at the arena at the moment. Does he even see himself through my eyes, look at the contrast difference, from now to 16, we are completely identical. Till the lightsaber came on, you can't tell us apart here." he said and they nodded gently then.
"Point taken, you dress like me from now to 20, and you're carrying a purplish blue lightsaber, but you're right, until that lightsaber comes on, we can't tell you are apart. Because you're identical twins, boot size, clothes, when we see you together right now. We feel like we got a concussion and are seeing double." Obi-wan said and Adi nodded in agreement. "That or a hangover, just be careful alien spirits are far stronger." Mace said and he hid a chuckle then.
"And you're the one carrying the lightsaber, though you never used it yet." Adi said and he nodded. "Though that one is too big for your hands, your preteen lightsaber is a better fit here, so build one sized to you, as you are currently. And then scale it up to 16 year old teenager, at 15 years old now." Qui-Gon said and he nodded. "That's my adult lightsaber, age 18 to 23." he said and they nodded. "Then mini from 10 to 13 build, you will." Yoda said to him gently then.
"My family protocol droid is in the last stages, currently without the coverings, I also built a podracer, that Dave thought if I can do that, building this would be a cinch. " he said and they nodded smiling. "We had a blow back last month, trying to copy me in building one, Andy crossed a wire and it exploded, leaving cherry red pebbles all over the floor of my room. Needless to say mom was irritated here by that." he said and they chuckled and nodded then.
"I can imagine, but like Tolan, Cin, Mace and I would say: pay careful attention in constructing these, but cherry red pebbles, okay so to tell you two apart. Then you chose to create your own crystals, artificial ones making it so you're a Guardian with Master Guardian like tendencies. Let me guess, the machinery provided the pieces and crystals and he chose red, not realizing. As a Jedi, we combine that one with yellow, blue or straight white." Adi said and he nodded to her.
"Bruck's lightsaber was red, but every time we had a red lightsaber in the Order, they always turn to the darkside for the same reason, for power." Ki said and he nodded. "Let me take a guess, but Xanatos was also red?" he asked and they nodded. "Yes, and currently Brazen following the same path as Bruck is, so this keeps, and I'm being honest. We have to keep your twin and Brazen separated so they don't corrupt each other." he said and Anakin nodded gently.
"I knew a few things, but not enough to understand why every time I told you whoever it was we were after, you always went on alert now." he said and they nodded. "That information needs to become common knowledge in the Order, before our students run afoul. Of whoever our enemies are, Master." Obi-wan said and Yoda nodded in agreement. "Agreed here Obi-wan, and with that, Zan Arbor now, was a scientist doing studies on the force, thinking it's our blood."
"She started kidnapping human force sensitives, the next to last was Ren S'orn, he lead us to your father, before we realized a retired Jedi. Noor R'Aya, was also being hold hostage, he was close to death, before we realized. Now, she contaminated S'orn's home planet's water supply, and his mother was blackmailed into helping her, we also ran afoul a Sorrusian bounty hunter. And said had a vendetta against your brother for hurting her." Adi said and he nodded gently.
And to the news then. "And just wait till the guys hear that truth, Ferus and Tru, they're going to be beyond irritated, that we got targeted, again." he said and she and Qui-Gon nodded in agreement gently. "Yes them and Dane right now, but your guy quartet are you three and Dane, co-ed is you 3 and Darra now. Though your sisters hear that truth, it's touch you, Soara's going to kill her now." Master Depa Billiba said gently then and he nodded as he hid a chuckle gently.
"You have no idea right now, by the time we reached a back to back, she was close to taking her lightsaber to these guys, after I recovered enough to start color coordination training." he said and Mace nodded with an amused smile. "Well it's Zan Arbor and Granta Omega, he's the son and heir to Xanatos, but our no name made a return. Sano Soaro if I remember right, and the Chuns with him, as for Andy, it's he's as bad as Nod is where restricted viewings concerned."
"That you know the path he's treading, as he's got a dangerous interest in the darkside, so we have another holocron go missing, you know who did it. Me, I'm like you Mace, after I failed you, I'm not failing you, Agen, Kit or Saesee again. After I lost you to him, just before the purge right now." he said and they nodded. "We're the ones our Sithmaster murdered in 13 years." Mace asked and he nodded with a sigh and the Supreme Master Guardian nodded gently to him.
"It's going to be fine, we just erase what he filled your head with you and replace it with new updated training, seems your father is the sole catalyst. Without him, you were cut adrift, but not from a Jedi, well he's lying to you, your father studied that skill. So you're saved from his getting to you twice, as for your machinery projects and racing. Then we'll allow two more races and your podracer is is being repaired, want to race, then you do it on swoopbikes now, son."
"I know that's a lightsaber on your belt, you built one before we found you?" Mace asked and he nodded. "The Sith, after my adult self ended up in this body, never realized I made my choice, after remembering the Sithmaster's mentor, dropping in. Before I revealed myself, stay away from my family, or I was exposing them right to you now. That unless they wanted to be exterminated, mind your distance, this was 3 weeks ago." he said and Mace nodded sternly.
"Never figured out how to keep it on low power, so someone sees that and starts playing with it, they never chop a limb off by accident." he said and Mace took it, and then carefully found the problem. "Indeed, but there are two buttons on real lightsabers, that secondary button is the modulation controls, and this is at full power, so give me a second." he said as he mentally took it apart, put in a shielding gem, and then put it back together and turned it on then in relief.
As they saw a faint glow over the purplish glow. "There we go, it's in training mode till we decide you're ready now, but you better build more then one. And copy them to this one, so in case you lose another, we can bring your back up to you." Ki said and he nodded smiling. "Young man, until you had mastered the maturity and discipline to carry a real one, you don't get one. This belongs to your brother, if we make that decision." Adi said with a stern tone to the inquiry.
"So you know who this Sithmaster's apprentice is, not your attacker, but the one that called execution orders on the ship?" Obi-wan asked gently and he nodded. "Oh I do alright, thing of it is, I exterminated all of them 36 years from now, but his apprentice's name. The one that came to my spaceport now, his apprentice is called Darth Sidious now. Our attacker at home now, is Darth Maul, he's a Zabrakian Nightbrother, from Dathomir." he said and Mace nodded sternly.
"I hated him, them, ever since, because of him, my life was destroyed, till my soul got shoved back to the last 6 weeks, checking my aura. I built this and my color aura had gone from my natural sky blue, matching me to you Obi-wan, straight to Amethyst bordering on light purple. After seeing him 3 weeks ago, I exposed myself to 'his' mentor, that stay away from me and my family, or they're being executed now, rather then later." he said and Mace nodded gently then.
"Well can you point him out to us, once we come get you three?" he asked and Anakin nodded gently. "I won't have to, focus on his words, the meaning behind his words, and focusing carefully, punch a hole through his sensory cloak." he said and they nodded. "That or steal his lightsaber out of his Chancellor robes, if he's been carrying it around with him. Whenever he's meeting with us, knowing we're going to kill him, if he acts too soon." Adi said gently to that.
"And Obi-wan and I, if we too, our memories back, we get, because last of the three of us you are, and glad we are to have you back. Belong to me you do, and not lose you again I will, so with that, saying it now, I am here, so afraid not, I am Chancellor. But Annie off limits he is, his training family business, it is and not family you are, from now on. Off limits Annie is, stay away from him, you will." Yoda said sternly and Mace and Obi-wan nodded in agreement then gently.
"Remember the Stargliders though, you forgot Leia's maternal family name, the Skywalker clan?" he asked and they nodded. "You're that Skywalker, Leia's sister is your mother, she talked about her all the time, but she decided she was becoming a moisture farmer. And moved back to Tatooine, before Shmi joined them with a 3 year old you and your twin!" Mace said and he nodded gently. "Yeah I'm the Annie they keep telling you about." he said to him gently then.
And they smiled in amazement then. "The one that seems to be the favorite of everybody you come into contact over your twin brother." Obi-wan said to that gently. "Dave taught you and been in out of temple creche training the last 6 years, have you?" Yoda said and he nodded gently. "Yeah my podracer designed was ripped off a souped up engine design, that Uncle Dave has, and I built a protocol droid, so he figured if I can do that, then building this would be easy."
"But though I build it, I never mastered the discipline to use it, and decided to explain this to mom, who told Father during a discussion, after he realized I was force sensitive. I mastered all the lessons of patience, and never lost my temper with you, I have patience. I'm in no rush, to start training, what you decide I will abide by, my master." he said and the council nodded, seeing the patience and maturity in the 9, going on 10 year old boy in front of them gently.
"See that I do and passed my test you have, as that was a test now, not afraid, are you?" Yoda asked and Anakin said it. "No I am afraid, but it's of losing someone I love, but I tried, but it was just their time, but I'm not afraid of failure. Fail a test here or there, I can take that, I'm a padawan, student." he said and he smiled. "In Jedi training you are to be, however very strong, your brother is, his fate, decided on will be later." he said and Anakin bowed to him gently then.
"To complete my training, there is one last lesson I need, and one that means the difference between victory and defeat between both Orders. As we all know after Xanatos, the Sith way, or Dark Jedi way is enticing them with thoughts of power. Give the person that has plenty already, what they want to be all powerful, but a Jedi like my alter ego. Take it, you belong to them and my alter ego wanted the power to save someone by the force." he said and they nodded then.
"There are two ways that can be accomplished, one is by the healing crystals of fire, in the hands of Jedi healers, the other is force healing itself. Said speeds up the cells till the damage is repaired, unfortunately force healers are not very common." she said and he nodded. "Okay so it is possible, well he lied to me again." he said and Mace crossed his arms. "Who did exactly Anakin?" he asked and he explained that. "Our Sithmaster himself." he said and they nodded.
"For the 8 of you now, before you come to get us, to bring us to the temple, as our Zabrak fatally injured Father now, but that remark, Mace, Master Windu. Is the sole reason the Jedi were destroyed, there are things on the future I know that can save us. But Father is right, the Jedi lost their way 80 years go now, and if we don't change our ways now. It is our children and grandchildren that will pay the price, for our lack of vision." he said and the council nodded.
"Needless to say here, after going to full emphasis here, of what the mustafar is going on around here, Father and Obi-wan went on alert, our attacker was an Irodian." he said and the council nodded sternly. "But red and black face paint, suggesting he's been initiated into a cult, and his eyes were molten gold, he's so influenced by the darkside. Evidently Sidious got to him, when he was no older than me." he said and Mace crossed his arms sternly at the news then.
"I don't think that's face paint, he must be naturally red and the black are tatoos son." Qui-Gon said and he nodded. "Well trust me, he's dangerous, you two together are an even match, but after he stabbed you, Obi-wan suffered the same break and loss of control. That he had after Xanatos tried to kill Bant by drowning her in the lake now, not realizing. That my own anger shot into his and we threw everything we had at Maul, till he cut his lightsaber in half now then."
"But after a case of flying levitated jumps after nearly ending up in the reactor core, he bi-sected him, falling into the reactor itself. And that was the last we heard of him, till halfway through the war." he said and they nodded sternly. "What of the Master's Master?" he asked and Anakin sighed. "Sidious killed him in his sleep, so two sources of that knowledge destroyed, if Andy had been smart that never mind him, come to you for some advice and tell the truth."
"But I wasn't kidding, I'm married to the queen, soon to be Senator of Naboo." he said and Mace nodded gently. "May I ask why you did not tell us this?" he asked and he sighed. "If we were made public, the attacks by the Separatists only get worse, so for her protection. That no one must know, which as it turned out was an accurate assessment here. That if Sidious gets his hands on my children, the galaxy would never stand a chance." he said and they nodded gently.
"My family are the strongest family you have in the Order, directly behind us are the Kenobis, Durrons, Calrissian, Cho Leems, Bodas, Mundis and of course, the Merrins. If one of us turned to the darkside we're a force to be reckoned with, but if my family both twins, in either generation. Had, the galaxy would never stand a chance against two evil Skywalkers, by the Darkside code, of catching a good force sensitive: give us what we want." he said and Yoda nodded gently then.
"But my idea here after we get back together with, is instead of directly after the mission to Ansion, a few weeks prior to my 20th birthday. We do it directly after stopping Xanatos's son, and arrest Zan Arbor, again, and you know in advance. I'm your representative from the Jedi to her committee, she's their's to you, you know in advance, we're engaged. But we eloped, during the months after my twins birthday, we're heading for Ach-to right now here to live there."
"So they learn the entire 8 years training, at age 12, start their apprenticeship under me, and Ferus, and 7 years one on one training, leading into age 23. Then at the high point of this war now, I'm bringing my son to you for evaluation of making the trials. And the three of us tell him of our history between our Orders, that's us and Sidious himself when he's 22. All in all, my unit is ending this and splitting me in two, but in order to do so, I had to insure they never knew."
"That's Sidious never knew, him, Dooku or even his associates, like Gunray, from knowing she and I are married, you and her committee, our parents are the only ones that do. This gets out and it could leave our family unprotected, we kept it secret to protect her now." he said and he nodded. "Allow another exception on one condition, tell us you do, before escorting her back to Naboo, that engaged you are." Yoda said and he bowed and Mace smiled, knowing that was yes.
"We understand and can let that go, as you protected her to the best of your ability." Adi said and Yoda nodded in agreement. "With making a fast adjustment here, Father survives this, and as we put him in an MIC, before you do the rest. And I grow up to be him and Obi-wan, but you got to me first and befriended me during this conversation. So I stay permanently a Jedi, while Andy, seeing you don't trust him, turned to Palpatine, not knowing it." he said and Mace nodded.
"And that tells me everything I need to know here, they're back alright, so the blockade is a smoke screen for this plot against us." he asked and he nodded gently. "Yes it is, but he wanted Valorum booted out of office, just the beginning his planning now. But my beacon goes off after Obi-wan kills Maul, and his sights turn on me, I'm his target." he said and they nodded. "Over my dead body, Sith scum." Obi-wan said sternly and Mace and Yoda nodded in stern agreement.
"But gets better, you remember the mission to Bandomeer?" he asked and they nodded. "Jabba knew the duo personally and hearing we had a Master/padawan team in town, he took a guess and guessed right." he said and Yoda nodded with a bemused smile. "After telling him which team came by, he realized the names meant us?" Qui-Gon said and he nodded. "He never went to exact details of what happened, all he said was they been killed." he said and he nodded.
"I can answer that now, Grelb was killed by a Draigon, while Jemba got shot in the chest and died instantly." he said and Anakin nodded. "Do you people ever learn, do not mess with a skilled Master/Padawan team, least of all the most famous." he said to that. "Oops, I knew that mission was going come back to haunt me sooner or later, Jabba knew the duo. That ended up dead at our hands, after the ship crashed enroute to Bandomeer." Obi-wan said to that gently.
"Never expected to hear that did you, all of the units to come to your planet, it had to be the one that knew the head of the Offworld mining guilds, and killed two of the hutts inside it." Adi asked and he nodded. "No I didn't, in fact just hearing that, I realized I allied myself, with the most famous unit in the temple, before meeting you. So cub padawan of two teams, your enemies created a new variation for me, though Nobis is dead." he said and she nodded gently.
"Our Sithmaster is at the core of everything, the attacks on Padme, as either the queen or as Senator, the upcoming war in 10 years. Jabba's son being kidnapped and why we lost 3/4's of everyone that came to get us, that's Obi-wan, Padme and me. On Geonosis, including 80% of my clan, leaving only me, Ferus, Tru and Lana left." he said and they nodded in shock. "The queen was with you, disguised as her handmaiden?" Mace repeated and he nodded to him.
"Yeah I knew for 10 years, but after Gunray sent a bounty hunter assassin, said is the source of the army right now, we knew something was very wrong. But our team has the search, Mother has protection duty, but by then Ferus had graduation jitters and took a sabbatical." he said and Qui-Gon nodded gently. "But 60% of Obi-wan's class made it to the last 6 weeks, before my twins were born now as well, but Lana, Tru, Ferus and I were the last of mine now here."
"Before Vader did a siege at the temple and killed everyone, killed Gunray and his co-harts and, being surrounded by your troops the rest of you were killed one by one. But of 20,000 Jedi, only 150 are left, and we went underground in your cases, while in mine, I was knocked into a coma. It was after Bail reactivated Obi-wan, my son, Luke was the newest addition to our team now, and he and Leia, my daughter, got reunited." he said and he and Mace nodded gently to him.
"So what we're about to hear next is you, as a Jedi, before your soul got knocked into a coma, by your alter ego?" Mace said and he nodded. "The me that you know and raised is this me, Anakin Cliegg Skywalker: Padawan and cub padawan to the Jinn/Kenobi team. Adoptive to the Gallia/Tachi now, husband of Padme Amidala, and father of Luke and Leia. Friend of over 750 Jedi, including you, the Jedi council." he said and they nodded as they saw his adult self shining.
In him then, as they saw a Jedi Master standing in front of them. "We knew you all your life, and we raised you, as of yet there are things we know about you. The next generation doesn't, things no outsider could ever know about you, aside from your friends on Tatooine now. That we know you would never turn on us if you never had and have a choice in the matter here. That if I told you, you already had that power, you kill them both at once." Mace said and he nodded.
"But there is one thing we knew with absolute certainty, that something is you would never turn to the darkside, unless you never had a choice, and you been blackmailed. You never turned on us for a lust for power, but to save everyone you love now. But these crashes don't happen all at all once, there has to be a few dozen traumas, before the final one." Jedi Master Yarael Poof said gently and he nodded and they all sighed in relief, now knowing their version was back.
"Indeed, we met at my current age physically, as Obi-wan read out to my son, when you all met me, you knew I was already well known pilot on my planet. But what amazed you most was how strong the force was within me, and took it upon yourselves to train me. But your fatal mistakes, like his was, was thinking you could be just as good as Master Yoda. Or his thinking that we could manage in the old ways, and all of you were wrong, as not only did it destroy us."
"My family was destroyed, the Republic had become a dictatorship and the Order was now extinct, because this Sith had control of the galaxy once again." he said and the council nodded gently, now knowing his knowledge was the key to stopping the person that destroyed him then. "Master, before I go further could you get Obi-wan's friends, and your own clan, my team quartet are us, Mother's team and the Calriassian/Attana unit and Merrin/Gaul team now."
"Only you, next to Padme and her entourage, and Bail Organa, are to know who I really am now, rather then a future initiate turned padawan. But rather Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen one, because this is spoken in confidence, a closed session." He said and he nodded. "Let me guess, next to the trio is Garen, Bant, Minga and Reeft now, as well as Clee and Winna. Just us, and Damon and Tiana?" he asked and Anakin nodded and he nodded gently to him.
"And my team quartet, my own team and Dane Van Perril." he said and they nodded. "Dane to Garen, Ferus to Siri, Darra to Soara and Tru to Ry'." he said and Obi-wan smiled. "And of course you to me, you're my baby brother, only we know what you're about to tell us here. We just work at that one skill so you can put Father into an MIC and till the council gets to Naboo. And our team has all 3 generations intact, before we clone the girls." he said and they nodded.
"Damon, Tiana, wish I do for you, Siri, Ry' and Soara to come to the council chambers, please, and bring a training lightsaber. And Clee, Winna, Miro and boys, Minga and Bant, bring with you, Initiate Skywalker with vital intel has for us, to save the Order about to reveal to us, he does." Master Yaddle, Yoda's counterpart said gently then and they heard a male voice. "Yes Master, we are on our way." he said and Anakin went to attention gently then as he smiled in relief.
"Padme's my wife, when I gave that theoretical I was serious, I have children, twins, a boy and girl, but following my path, not only do I make Master at the same age Obi-wan had. And is 38 years old, but I'm also made a council member, I know this and better than Andy did. You can be Master and without being a council member, and with that in mind here. Luke is the said theoretical I just gave you, he had his mind shot to Bespin, seeing his sister, her husband."
"Chewie, and Landon, that's Damon's grandson, nickname of Lando, getting arrested, or blackmailed here and being lead right into a trap, by Andy." he said and they nodded. "And to say this again, you don't know that, even Master Yoda can't see their fate. Yes you feel the force, but currently you can't control it, this is very, very dangerous time for you. Where you'll be tempted by the darkside, just like her pregnancy and last 6 to 7 weeks are for you now."
"We just have to keep you away from him a while longer right now, but you're coming with me to deal with the droid leader, Andy stays here. She'll be fine, just trust us and trust in the force, trust we know what we're doing brother, but a few more years then promotion. You're 23 years old, but though a young knight, you're still in many ways a padawan right now. You need me, more then ever, us more then ever in this situation, you're scared, we understand that."
"Just trust us, trust we know what we're doing right now." Obi-wan said, and he ran his hand through his hair and he nodded. 'Yes he sounds just like me now, there's the him at 39 to 40, being big brother to our youngest.' Qui-Gon thought gently and Yoda nodded in approval. "Indeed, trust us, listen to your brother now, but correct you are right now, Annie, that be a Master without making council you can be, or be on council without being a Master now."
"But interference by outside sources, allow this lightly the council does not." he said and Anakin nodded. "Then I am the next, male, version of Siri in 13 years, Obi-wan made both by his 38th birthday, but I am 23, with 5 years left. And before graduation to knight, Master, so where he goes, I follow, I will not leave Obi-wan or Father." he said and Yoda nodded in approval then gently. "And proved to me, us, a true Jedi, you are." he said and he nodded gently then.
"But I understand, I must have the deepest commitment, to my team, I must commit 100% to my unit and I will, I swear myself to you and to my team." he said and Yoda nodded smiling gently. "Testing concluded it is in your case, patience, courage, loyalty, all show a gifted young Jedi and one ready to be appointed to your team. Therefore, assigned to Obi-wan and Qui-Gon you will be, a Jedi and their apprentice, you will be." he said and Anakin bowed humbly to him.
"Qui-Gon, Anakin himself is to be trained, however Andrus is to remain here, while we continue work through this, but now is not the time, in hasty decisions. The senate is voting on a new supreme chancellor and Queen Amidala returns home, which will put pressure on the opposition. And widen the confrontation." Mace said and Ki finished it. "And draw out the queens attacker." he said and Anakin and Obi-wan nodded as Obi-wan left his hands on Anakin's shoulders then.
"Padme, you always were stubborn, but leaving now, we got a problem, so just wait for us up there tonight, please. As to why my love, I'm taking your advice and telling the Council and Obi-wan right now, but we have to tell you some intel you deserve to know." Anakin said and Yoda chuckled and nodded. "And that just says it all, you are the queen's husband, married 3 years and were happily married, till our Sith destroyed you." Obi-wan said smiling then gently.
"Stand by, Master could I borrow the com-link." Anakin said and he passed him the communicator and he commed his wife's chief of security. "Dack, you read me, it's Anakin." he said and he heard an immediate response. "Yeah I read you son, what's going on exactly, we're gearing up to leave." he said and he explained it. "Stand by on that, the council is assigning us to you for the duration, we're coming with you." he said and he heard it gently.
"Roger that that, I'll tell the queen that." he said and he smiled. "Well tell her also I got an idea she can use, but come at the throne room from both sides, decoy status here." he said and they knew he lowered his head with a bemused smile then. "Alright young man, I will, but whatever you got to tell us, we can do enroute home again." he said and he nodded. "See you soon then, got to go." he said and hung it up and Qui-Gon nodded hiding a smile then.
"Go with the queen to Naboo, and discover the identity to your attacker, this is the clue we need to unravel the mystery of the Sith." Mace said with an amused look then on his face and Qui-Gon nodded, hiding a chuckle at his youngest padawan's remark. As a minute later 30 people came in and he saw 28 human Jedi and 2 aliens. "Annie, this is your team quartet, in addition to your father and myself, this is Masters Damon Calrissan and Tiana Merrin and their padawans."
"Soara Attana and Ry' Gaul, and my daughter, Siri Tachi." Adi said and he bowed gently as he said it then. "As well as our friends Winna 'D Uni and Clee Rhara, the temple engineer Miro Daroon, and these 4 are Obi-wan's clan group, Minga Dejarren, Bant Eerin, Garen Muln and Reeft Dejaxan." Mace said and Anakin bowed smiling. "Nice to meet you guys, ladies, and you as well, Masters Daroon, Uni and Rhara." he said, before looking at his team quartet gently.
"Pleased to meet you Masters, Soara, Siri, Ry'." he said and they nodded smiling. "You as well Padawan Skywalker, I am very pleased to meet you." Jedi Master Damon Calrissian said smiling and Jedi Master Tiana Merrin smiled. "Indeed, it is very nice to meet you, Padawan." she said and he smiled and Obi-wan thought it over. "So Annie, what do you have to tell us exactly?" Minga Dejarren asked him and he explained that to her gently as he looked between then.
"Too late, Master shall we, not just him?" he said and Yoda nodded gently. "Anakin, not the only one with his memories returned from 13 to 36 years into the future. Obi-wan, the Queen and I have ourselves now, but what done you have, tonight now, left the door open for Sidious. Just to snatch Anakin out from under us." he said sternly and the Mace paled at that remark. "Made mistake you did, by tonight's decision, now, yes Jedi council you are, but grandmaster I am."
"As Anakin would tell me, made mistake, failure how we learn it is, and not changing the code when had the chance we did, my mistake was. That starting tonight, code being updated now, Jedi fall in love and get married, they can, our future apprentices. The children of our current pupils there are, shall remember we changed our ways now. But the current Jedi code was thus, There is no emotion, there is peace, there is no ignorance, there is knowledge."
"There is no passion, there is serenity, there is no chaos, there is harmony, there is no death, there is the Force, the new Jedi Code for future Jedi generations. Shall be thus, "Emotion, yet peace, Ignorance, yet knowledge, Passion, yet serenity, Chaos, yet harmony, Death, yet the Force. This shall be the platform some of the old ways shall die, new traditions are born, starting with age requirements." he said and the council nodded gently.
"What Anakin told you now, all true it is, his internal beacon after creating his new lightsaber signaled his just returned soul from the darkside, it has now. But for him to heal completely, must change the code, and secondly, these 10 years, leading into our reunion. And with the Queen, become Senator of Naboo she will, his wife and mother of the twins. Must save Shmi and protect the girls, we have to, before the twins are born." he said and Mace nodded sternly.
"So to prevent another Melida/Daan, we quadruple teams now, in addition Master?" she asked and he nodded. "We're still partnered with you, but our units partnered, in quartets, with the Calrissian/Attana and Merrin/Gaul unit." Obi-wan said and she nodded gently as she answered him, looking between them. "Junior padawans?" she asked and he nodded. "Anakin's with me, Tru with Ry', Darra to Soara and Ferus to Siri." he said and she nodded in understanding then.
"Then we stay together, and I really don't mind, I see he's my baby brother." Siri Tachi said smiling and he looked down smiling and Obi-wan chuckled at that response. "Expect trouble, 3/4's of your missions created themselves into a new variation for my version of the quartet. The guys, Darra and me." he said and she nodded. "I even want to know who else besides Didi and Astri was involved, if 'she' came back into the picture?" she said sternly and he hid a smile.
"Chapter 3, after you guys found your way to Simpla 12 finally." he said and she shook her head gently. "Boys, I swear you do anything else, you are in so much trouble, we don't need you being a bad influence on our baby brothers." she said and Obi-wan and Ry' nodded in agreement. "That's an understatement, only we're junior masters and our own decided to wait till they're 20, before stepping back now." Obi-wan said and she and the duo nodded to that.
"Qui-Gon's the only one, appears to be who can save him, because of his study on force healing." Yoda said and they nodded. "I take it losing me and Siri hit you hard then, padawan?" Adi asked and Anakin nodded. "You, Darra and Father." he said and she nodded. "Ferus left out of graduation jitters, leaving the guys, Soara, Tiana, Damon and me." he said and she nodded. "Two masters, 3 junior masters and 2 senior padawans/Jedi knights." Mace said and he nodded.
"The prophecy is not exact there are two ways it can go down, we got it the last time, but with us and Padme shoved back into these bodies, we can fix that. But if we suddenly have all of you, your souls, from 12 to 13 years into the future shoved back into your bodies now." he said and the council nodded. "Then remember your alter ego's mistakes and our own and we can rectify that immediately, yes I see that, but 20/20 hindsight now here." Mace said to him gently.
"Telling me the story of how his mentor, Darth Plaeguis, could save lives, or create life, it never crossed my mind to wonder how he knew that. Reason being in considering Andy was influencing my emotions, over Padme, my resentment at you. For not promoting me and then my being ordered to spy on his workings at the time. Before it hit me, after Obi-wan engaged the droid leader, he and the chancellor are one and the same." he told him and he nodded then.
And he sighed. "Sidious is Palpatine, the Senator turned Chancellor elect is our Sithmaster." he said and Mace nodded sternly. "So we been had all this time right now, and not realizing he's been influencing you since day 1, I tried to save you. Before he destroyed you here, getting into the most heated fight I ever had for your soul, I lost and it killed me. Because your alter ego betrayed me, betrayed you and he blasted me out the window." he said and Anakin nodded.
"He's not coming near you this time, but to repeat your mother, no talking to strangers, and 2) you're forbidden to be racing starting now. No illegal racing, if you buy those wings, they're for emergencies only, in case you need a fast get away." Ki said and he nodded. "We will allow you two more races, after that you're retired, to focus on your training, but you can work on it. Your prototype podracer, we will allow that, and allow you to scavenge technology in the scrap piles."
"But stay out of the lower levels, it's just gets more dangerous the further down you go." Adi said and he nodded gently. "Yes Mother, Masters, I understand, as for the issue downtown now though, in truth. Well the Splendor gained a nickname, after the read out letters kept getting shot off by stray blaster shots. Till the owner of that hotel stopped replacing them, and now everyone just calls it the Dor." he said and Qui-Gon shook his head as Mace said it bemused.
