The Chosen One's Jedi Quest I: The Phantom Menace
Warnings: With this chapter it's going to jump over 20% of the return to Naboo, and go right to saving Qui-Gon, after Anakin lands back in the hanger. So from here, the story-line had Qui-Gon involved fully in Anakin's life with Obi-wan. And as he spends his entire 13 years a Jedi, as his alter ego becomes Darth Vader. So Anakin becomes the true Chosen One, Andy, Darth Vader becomes a Sith and it becomes his version.
A To his heirs' war against each other, in the last chapter of the Skywalker family 60 years from then. This story is going to use the theoretical from my other story, as the Jedi Quest novels. And are as though Anakin and Vader are two separate beings. As the Jedi know that Vader is a separate entity to Anakin's personality. And see him as the Chosen One, but are training Anakin in secret here, as the lightsaber implication.
Chapter 18: Returning Missions, Truths, And Back To Naboo V
Before the group walked in with Anakin's team and counterpart team arriving then. "Yeah alright we're here, go ahead Anakin." Ferus said gently and he nodded. "I came to the conclusion there was a way to shut him down, Nejaa remember. In when we ran into each other, I let you go?" he asked and Nejaa nodded. "Well think it over, what's the real slavery." he asked and he nodded. "Holding onto your hate." he said gently and Anakin nodded then.
"Exactly, the fatal mistake was not done by Obi-wan, we stood a chance, if Master Yoda waited just a big longer. Guys, who here survived in the temple and escaped the clones exactly." he said and Ferus and Nejaa nodded. "We did." he said and Ferus nodded. "We knew this, if you're leading them here, something had happened, I saw your face and it was streaked in tears, this was killing you to even consider this, you also shouted out to us now."
"You already, in going to your legion, called out order 67, disregard all orders by the supreme chance, your delay gave us enough time to immobilize. You were stuck in an unwinnable situation, side with us, you're a traitor, and the senate, in his control, will kill you. Side with him, you're a traitor to us, refuse, he's going to kill her, one option left. Play along and give us enough lead time here, and then when the time is right: strike." Cin Drallig said sternly to this.
"Tears streaking his face, then suggest that would….." Yoda started to say and then paled and Mace nodded sternly then. "Does the concept of blackmail mean anything to you Master Yoda, before I blacked out right now, I tapped into Anakin's signature. Being as you designated me and Thracia his counselors right now, the exact words I heard here were. And Anakin was in shock at what he just did as well, he came to help me arrest him, take him alive right now."
"So we can expose him to the Loyalist Committee right now at the time, Dooku was dead just a month prior, 'You're fulfilling your destiny. Anakin, become my apprentice, learn to use the dark side of the Force.'. In shock, as he was shaking in grief now, the quartet trying to protect him from this, are now dead. I heard 'I will do whatever you ask, just help me save Padmé's life, I can't live without her.'." he read out and Yoda went pale, realizing he killed them both then.
By acting instantly, instead of allowing Anakin to handle the vengeance of the Order himself then. "Based on that one sentence alone now, it said they were soulmates, one dies, they both do, out of heartbreak now." he said and Yoda started shaking in fear. "Before hearing this, and I knew he was lying as only two people studied the power he needed. In force and soul healing, Plaeguis himself and Qui-Gon, we kept his research, research we can give him to study."
"So Sidious has no leverage whatsoever here, 'To cheat death is a power only one has achieved,
but if we work together…., I know we can discover the secret." he said and Ferus crossed his arms, as Tiana read the remark, on the pilot to their side of the story. "Chosen to rise, as a Jedi, destined to fall, out of desperation, to save who he loves, as 1/3 the team are dead. Along with their clan group, his mother and Yaddle." Kit said sternly and the sextet all paled then, shaking.
"Padme is his leverage against him, her life, turning to the darkside, is the only way to save her, he brainwashed him, and blackmailed him now, blackmail: it was always blackmail." Depa said sternly and Ki, Oppo and the quartet of the current order froze in shock. "I pledge myself...,
to your teachings." Anakin said quoting it, injecting the necessary exhaustion into his voice and they all nodded sternly and Yoda started shaking, realizing it finally, he given up now.
As he heard the same resigned remark from Luke, before he came to confirm what Anakin told him, "Anakin was still so in shock, his body exhausted, his soul was ready to accept this decision then. His body was battered and exhausted, there was no reason to fight this anymore, there's nothing left now. Nothing left to believe in, no where to go, but accept the fate, you forced him into, back into those shackles, he was a slave again." Thracia Cho Leem said, crossing her arms.
"Before the next thing I heard was, as he twisted the truth, to what happened now in there. 'Because the council did not trust you, my young apprentice, I believe you are the only Jedi, with no knowledge of this plot. When the Jedi learn what has transpired here, they will kill us,
along with all the senators." he read out and Shaak Tii crossed her arms. "Not true now, we never had to act on anything, they attacked without warning." Cin said sternly and finished.
"I agree: The council's next move will be against the senate.', that's the loyalist committee, get the committee on our side now, and we stand a chance. As Bail first and then the rest of the Rebel leaders fall in line after that, if I stayed any longer. Then they would have killed me once I shouted out to him, to find you and go after the emperor with Obi-wan." Anakin said and Mace nodded, as he completed the explanation.
"Every single Jedi, including your friend Obi-Wan Kenobi, is now an enemy of the Republic." he read out and Yoda, Ki, Oppo, Ranscisis all paled at that then finally. "Order 66, execute all Jedi for going against the Supreme Chancellor, we enact order 67, disregard all orders. Given by the supreme chancellor, and enact protection of the temple here, set to stun. And follow orders given by Padawan Anakin Skywalker, any clone resists, shoot to kill." Cin snapped off at that.
"I understand, Master." Anakin said weakly and Cin nodded sternly, hearing it, before hearing through the connection. 'No don't say it, don't say it, I can't do this, they're my family, guys, if you can hear me get out of there now, the Sith are about to attack!' and Shaak Tii, Cin and the other members jerked, at the utter devastation in his mental voice. 'Guys listen to me right now, Sidious is Palpatine, the Chancellor is the sithlord, the Sithmaster."
"Winna, Minga get the strongest sedative you have, prepare for assault in the numbers, I'm telling my side to set it at maximum stun, be ready for a firefight. Padawans, listen to me right now, but 1/3 the soldiers incoming are programmed by the Sithmaster himself, the others are my battalion. We're faking this, after he's sure guaranteed victory get out of there, head for an out of the way planet now, cubs.'
'That's an order, do it!' they heard and Cin and the other masters nodded sternly in fury then. "Baby, are you okay!" Shaak Tii said quickly and they heard a devastated tone. 'Mace is dead, he just killed him, along with Kit, Saesee and Agen, he's blackmailed me. Padme's my wife, I chose Jedi, and went to help Mace, but my alter ego betrayed me. Mace is gone or unconscious I don't know, if any of you make it, you know this now, in truth.'
'I never turned of my own free will, I did to save her, I do what he says, or he kills my entire family, she's pregnant. We got married, at the start of the war, but my sabbatical resulted in the baby's conception date. She's 8 months pregnant, any day now, my timer is up, if this is good bye now, you know the truth. Not of my own free will, I did it to save my family.' he said sadly then, his mental voice shaking in grief then.
And they nodded. 'It's okay baby, we understand, and we will get you back, we're not losing you, just hang on, don't quit on us baby. Just take your time, and we're ready to take down our own troops, Annie, take as much time as you need. I'm sedating everyone in the temple, just use the long way around, we're assembling.' Winna said and Yoda swallowed hard then, realizing he been wrong all this time, he never turned for power, but to save his entire family right now
"We must move quickly: The Jedi are relentless, if they are not all destroyed, it will be civil war without end, first I want you to go to the Jedi temple. We will catch them off-balance, do what must be done, Lord Vader, do not hesitate. Show no mercy. Only then will you be strong enough with the dark side..., to save Padmé." Mace read out and the sextet paled. "Final disposition, I told you before the attack." Anakin said and Cin, Shaak Tii and Winna nodded sternly then.
"Master Yoda, do you realize your idea could have even Padme see you as everything Palpatine says we are now, he's trying to make us out to be the bad guys. And then you further that opinion, by outright attacking him in his office, before escaping." Anakin said and he started shaking then. "I decided after you said outright, you don't care about my family, only about your interpretation to prophecy, is what I meant."
"I should have known the Jedi were planning to take over: my family, turning them into mindless killing machines, as you turned them into assassins. To kill me, after I decided to rebuild the order, from the ground up, you wanted revenge. The call to vengeance, you sound like Sithlord, you crossed over right now. As you decided to kill me, before I can call off Order 66 right now." he said and Yoda went white in shock then.
"Your words and gentle wisdom, I should have known, you already sensed she was pregnant, if I fell, you had a failsafe and kidnapped the twins. So Sidious was right, only it's not the Jedi that betrayed me, it was you, it always was you. He was just forcing me to see passed your gentle side, till you reveal your true colors." he said and Yoda jerked, realizing that's exactly what he decided, the prophecy, he deliberately misread it.
Just to kidnap the twins, to do this his way, and it murdered Padme in the process. "Just stay the hell away from my family Yoda, everybody for the new code, on me. Because once at 16, we're leaving here and starting a new, better Order, training in all sides. And of the force, the code of the New Jedi Order is balance, hence the non traditional colors. As Jedi are composed of 3, how about non traditional now." he said and they nodded.
"We have two pinks, two purples, and orange." Adi said and he nodded. "I know, so we utilize all colors, rather then the traditional, barring red now, as that belongs. Now, to Dark Jedi and Sith, so any color barring red is fine, red is a symbol of corruption. And evil, we tread the line between good and evil, without crossing the line entirely. Studying all 7 forms of combat, and side both sides of the force." he said and Mace nodded then.
"I think we started something here, if he said this at 21, during the war, we'd this as he became a maverick, only now he opened our eyes to how corrupt you really are. Master Yoda, so just to utilize the said prophecy, you trigger a miscarriage by telling a pregnant woman. Her husband collapsed on us, and because he was desperate for a way to save her here. Were you deliberately ignoring the signs, he was standing in front of us?" he asked and he went white.
"As you once told me, only the Sith knows of our weakness, if alerted and our adversaries will multiply, well not unless we do this another way, and prepare for the war. 7 years in advance right now, to keep ourselves alive, by 1), rigging half the clones to listen to us. 2) Split the Jedi down the middle, as Andy kills the younglings, and becomes Vader right now. 3) We need to join with the Loyalist Committee and tell them he's standing in front of us." he said to him firmly.
And with a stern look then. "You deliberately misread the prophecy to kidnap the twins, you're no better then Sidious!" Thracia said in shock and he jerked at that recrimination in pain. "And don't say it's for the greater good, how can it be for the greater good, you murdered a woman. The wife of our star pupil in cold blood, to take custody of his children, that's illegal!" Mace said and he started shaking violently in fear, realizing he crossed the line in the eyes of the Order.
"Yeah I see it now finally, you listened to me and spared my life, Annie." Nejaa said sternly and Cin, Winna, Damon, Tiana and Thracia crossed their arms sternly. "Us with you, and Ki ended up dead, he's so under Yoda's influence, he doesn't see here right now. That rebuilding the code from the ground up is the best way to go, and ended up dead, at the hands here. Of his own troops, I survived the crash, as did Stass, and we went into hiding." Plo said sternly to this.
"Anakin shouted out the orders, order 67, disregard orders by the supreme chancellor, shoot to stun and leave for dead, all Jedi that decided enough of the old code." Plo said and Stass nodded in agreement. "And we all had here noe, everyone was unconscious, you walked into a fake bloodbath, but to over ride this, but told our clone troops. To knock us unconscious, and leave us for dead, so we can go into hiding." Stass said sternly and Mace nodded sternly to the news.
"Yeah take out the council members that agree with Yoda, and we start preparing to rebuild from the ground up, as you decided to tell me as I said. That you gained my trust, it's the same for Kit, Depa, Agen, Plo, Stass and Saesee." Mace said and the Anti code members nodded. "Obi-wan switched processes, he's gone anti code order, guys, Ry', Garen, Girls, Reeft, what now." Anakin said and they nodded. "We side with you." they all said together gently.
"Half for the code, half against, and 3/4's of the council is against the current code." Depa said and Thracia nodded in agreement. "So now what Master Yoda, everything you see is not true here at all, that 1) I never turned for power. But to save someone I love 2), I regretted every life I took that night here. 3) As the Separatist leader tried 4 times to kill my wife, they were executed for attempted murder of a senator, but the quintet."
"Winna, Cin, my team they were here for everything, you and Ki were not, so with those words now. Being as you all heard my scream to you guys, prepare for assault, what's your immediate. In conclusion exactly now guys, you remember this, you felt my mental anguish when he murdered Mace. And the trio, followed by my scream to leave?" he asked and they nodded, knowing everything they remembered just came out.
"Oh my gods, you were blackmailed!" Soara shouted in fury and he looked down and Yoda paled at that response. "Well it was never you that drove the final punchline here into it, but Yoda's callous words, after losing mom, the girls and Master Yaddle. Exact words here of 'teach yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.'. Was what made me realize, now, or Vader realize, that the Jedi were going to be no help at all at the time here."
"But going to the darkside would, but then when you attempted to arrest him, Mace, that did it: I was trapped, I had no choice. I follow through or he kills my entire family, blackmail, not of my own free will. I lost the quartet. He declared all of you to executed, but I couldn't believe what I just did. When in trying to stop Mace from crossing the line, he killed him by blasting him out the window." he said to her gently.
"But Andy was a fascist here." he said and Minga crossed her arms. "To explain the meaning cubs, is a person who is for a political system based on a very powerful leader. State control, and being extremely proud of country and race, and in which. Now, political opposition is not allowed, the Jedi way, we were a way of governing here. In which depends on the will of the people, our allegiance's to the republic, to democracy." she said and the 11 nodded sternly.
"From diplomacy to dictatorship and back again, that's the entire 36 years, we would have ended it sooner then 23 years if you had Obi-wan with him. And Anakin finished the mission, there on Mustafar right now, but quite frankly the destruction of the Jedi Order. Was never Anakin's fault here in truth, all of us that side with Anakin, one side." Nejaa said sternly and 3/4's the members of the room moved to him, along with Mace, Shaak Tii, Plo Koon, Agen Kolar.
Saesee Tiin, Cin and Winna, and Yoda paled. "Point of order Master Yoda, if there was a Jedi civil war, it's things should be how Luke has them, not the current state of affairs. My grandson is working as Luke's right hand man." Nejaa said sternly, pointing at the books of their future, and the restoration of the Jedi right now. "Agreed, Anakin may not be the grandmaster, but he planted the seeds, he's not looking for a fight, but a way to change the utter corruption here."
"We should change with the times, look at how much the republic despises what we become right now, to them we are elitists right now, in the belief that anyone who is Force Sensitive should become a Jedi and anyone who uses the Force in a different way is wrong and likely evil. They remove small children from their family and indoctrinate them to trust only the Jedi." Adi said sternly and he started shaking in fear then, realizing he was holding them back now.
"While it's not completely your fault Master Yoda, half of the council are to blame, but the Sith took advantage of political naivete among the Jedi. Being as the order became ever more closely tied to the office of the Chancellor. Said, which in that version is now a Sith." Obi-wan said sternly and he started shaking, realizing his own mistakes, that had nearly all the Jedi he trained, since infancy currently seeing the flaws to his version of the code.
"As I said, after what I just did, during the raiders now, 'it's all his fault, he's jealous, he's holding us back!'." Anakin said and she and Mace nodded sternly, seeing he meant Yoda. "Can't trust politicians, granted after Uta S'orn, that's a given here, I understand why, but the Senate is split into two groups now right now. The Loyalist Committee, which appears to be Padme's grouping, and the senators that join with the Empire, in later years right now."
"The purge gave a revitalization, to a new code, a fresh start, rebuilding us from the ground up, and instead of that, Yoda just destroyed everything we hold dear. By refusal to admit his way is not the only way, look at the way Luke did his Order right now. You call that evil right now?" Thracia asked and Yoda, Ki, and the other Jedi for the council all paled at that. "Yes and I agree with you on that right now, the Order just split into sides, new ways or keep to the old ways."
"So this explains everything, and Yoda destroyed everything you intended to do, so you can rebuild us, change the code and we start anew." Nejaa said sternly and he nodded. "I never would have changed completely, if not for Yoda sending Obi-wan. Or them checking the camera recordings, but listen to me, examine me to Andy. Just what do you see exactly now, after 3 years of training here?" he asked and they all nodded sternly to him.
"What we see is the you we knew all your life in that version, at times slow to anger, good sense of humor, the best fighter pilot we have, a cunning warrior. And a very dear friend now, always going the extra mile to save us: your friends, in the war. We knew yeah and we turned a blind eye to the fact you and she were together, so long as she made you happy. That's all we cared about, you were yourself when you were together." Lana said gently and Mace nodded then.
"This says here, in your grandchildren's case, 22.5 years ABY, that much be after the Death Star Campaign." he added and Anakin nodded, "Yeah 22.5 years after, plus 32.5 prior equals?" he asked and they nodded sternly. "That's 55 years there, plus an added 8, exactly 63, in 63 years we changed with the times, some aspects of the old code. The new code, it allowed us to fall in love, get married, and Luke's son is third generation full Jedi." Nejaa said and he nodded.
"Alright to sketch this out, you been married for 3 years, and the end of the war signaled the birth of a Jedi dynasty, it was time to tell us. The birth of our strongest family in the Order, like whoever that wrote these books, when the Empire died, or was born. They were born, the New Hope for the Rebellion Alliance, or the New Republic, the Skywalker or Solo, twins." Nejaa said and Anakin nodded. "Raised from birth, they get my training." Anakin said and he nodded.
"They get your training, the updated code, grow up the way the Solo twins had, but gained their lightsabers at going on 10, trained 5 years with them, and were ready for this. As till we decided they were ready to go to full power, they were in training mode. They understand, all fun and games till you go off training mode right to real, it's not a toy. And not a weapon to be taken up lightly, you knew that 3 years, and trained heavily with your's." Mace said sternly to this then.
"And with those words now, what would have been a wonderful batch of news, as we learned not only were you an expecting father, but we became adopted family to the twins. Was just ruined now, Sidious crossed the line, that wasn't you, but Andy that arrived. And cut Mace's wrist off, you were on Utapaa, and about to return, you were 7 hours away. And flying back right now, and arrived in time to see the guards shoot Zett." Cin said sternly and Anakin nodded
"Before I cut them down and sent Bail to find Yoda and Obi-wan, I'm going after Andy, but first I had find out where he went after laying siege there at the temple. And seeing what he did to you guys, after killing Mace, or barely killing him. After having been blown out the window, but Andy was who you were in a fight with. Me, I tried to stop him, when he killed Nute and the others, so Obi-wan's story to Luke was true."
"From…." he said and they nodded. "A certain point of view." they all said together sternly and Yoda sighed at that. "You were on your way back here, Andy was here running assault on us, and you were flying back from Utapaa right now. That's what happened here, not you, it was never you, but Andy, Andy turned on us, and lead the assault on the temple. You get back, find the massacre, check the tapes, and go after him." Cin said sternly and Anakin nodded gently.
"Checking on all of us, your friends, after he knocked Mace unconscious, and you, after getting back, first went to find him, find out what happened, went to Padme. Find out where he went, and then went to hunt him down, after he betrayed you now. In the worst way possible, a fight ensued, and he nearly killed you, Padme arrived to calm him down. Bringing Obi-wan to you, Obi-wan had the same fight, vocal and physical, and took him down." Winna said sternly to this.
"I think he turned into whatever mental illness they call it, on where these books came from, Anakin was the said officer trying to force the delusional to accept his illness. He flipped out, after he alerted his wife to this, and she tried to talk him down, and now the psychiatrist. Then shows up next to arrest him, and a fight ensued, he's not only had his wires crossed. We all see he's had a breakdown and we need to take him alive." Minga said and Nejaa and Mace nodded.
"There's our story and we stick to that, regarding how you were nearly killed, we nearly lost you, but we didn't, like the hothead would say, in some ways, alot of ways. He's really ahead of you, but that's the arrogance talking." Lana said and Ferus nodded in agreement sternly. "Yep, we never lost our brother, our team's still intact, we and the Kenobis are part of the family." he said and she nodded as she took his hand, and the couple smiled, knowing they were like them.
"No kidding, but I had you guys around all my life, just 2, to 3 year older versions our big brother and sister, the 5 of us are linked by 2 missions. But not your fault Ferus, it was never your fault, I, being the only one to sense the danger. As we're on Korriban, resist, so I break through it, we fixed it, but the cell finally broke down. That we just made it, Darra was alive, but that close to graduation, you need a sabbatical, brother."
"We'll be fine for now and till you get back now, so your soul search was the trial of self and you headed for Dagobah, in said next test. We remember what we both looked like at that age, the image of you standing behind me. And with Lana, Dane, Darra and Tru, with smiles on our faces says everything that needs to be said. And about familial relationship, when in the team." Anakin said and Ferus smiled and nodded.
"Yeah 6 person team, and Lana's part of our team here, so 2 girls and 4 boys, Andy, though very good here, his arrogance was wearing thin, after multiple explosions in the bedroom. It wasn't till age 16, we separated, and on Korriban, the difference between you was very telling now. We were bonded so tightly here, we saw the difference, you dressed in your Jedi clothing. Same tinge as big brother, he wore that flight suit, and sported a red one." Tru said, smiling to him.
And Obi-wan and the trio all chuckled, remembering them posing with their lightsabers on, the quartet, though close, were reaching graduation and close to ready. But they weren't ready to be separated, they wanted more time then, to be together now. They just had to wait for Ferus to come back and Darra to wake up and their team camaraderie was back in place. "There's our baby brothers and sisters alright, though almost there, more time." Garen said with a chuckle.
"Good point, I been on my survival mission, the trials of survival and self for 4 years, leading into the downfall of the republic, becoming the empire." Ferus said and Mace nodded. "There we go, instead resignation, you went on a survival and self discovery mission now. So you been training all this time, but before you left now at the time, you had to see to it. Anakin recovered from his head injury after being thrown into the wall that hard." Adi said, smiling he never left.
"Our clan is up to 26 in our youngling bodies, we mastered our forms, so we're teenage padawans trapped in our youngling bodies guys." Tru said sternly and Mace nodded. "Then it's time to stop messing around, we need to prepare here, because without the training. And we're being mowed down, we're fighter pilots, and skilled swordsman here now. But our new code is our new way of life now guys." Lana said sternly and he and Dane nodded in agreement then.
"Yeah agreed here, Mace, it's time for their gatherings, we're not in any emergencies just yet, so send them to Ilum, for their gatherings, Annie did his already. While on Tatooine, his lightsaber is work of art here, he's ready right now. And for the next 4 years lightsaber training, but they need to master their forms. But at said certain age, say 19 to 21, is studying the opposite of the force now." Qui-Gon said and he nodded.
"Hence the need to be put to another mentor, so, in normal mentors, he had you for 9 years, leading into 20, as he mastered living force, and now. Is another 9 years studying the unifying force, as he mastered that, and that's critical, are the visions his fears, or just figments. And of his imagination, he saved the girls and Yaddle, lightsabers about time too. As our side of the Jedi, is undergoing a shift change now, but you guys have 7 years." he said and they nodded.
"Yeah Master, I think it's time, basically had Master Yoda not done that, we'd get him back sooner then this, we lost 23 years to fix the damage. Me especially, I blamed myself for Darra getting shot and knocked into a coma, Ferus left the order. But the lesson here, if we all come forward together, and tell you immediately now, my lightsaber is broken. Is we made a mistake, we learn from this, and we move on, we're still our team." Tru said and Mace nodded then.
As the quartet and Lana stood together and Mace nodded gently, knowing they chose Anakin immediately then. "Time to fix this right now, but Master Yoda, this Jedi civil war, is based on two instances, of Qui-Gon being right, both times end in tragedy. Anakin is being Qui-Gon of his generation, why did Qui-Gon never accept a seat on the council." he said and Yoda jerked at that remark then, realizing they blamed him for Qui-Gon's murder and with him Tahl then.
"Well the reason is the code left no room for thinking for yourself, we're robots, slaves to our emotions, we can be normal people and still be beyond powerful. But the point is, my act was the match, your decision destroyed what was left of us, 10,000 Jedi. Reduced to 100, if you never did that, we can start over and create a better updated code. That code becomes the code the New Jedi Order are using in 60 years now." he said sternly and Yoda swallowed hard then.
"But we get it Annie it's okay, you never chose this of your own free will, you were blackmailed, there is a big difference between the two. Just like you were never taking drugs, you were drugged, and there is a difference between that too." she said and he nodded. "Master Yoda, do not say anything, we humans have a different aspect of what is seen is not always what is real. Cameras can't catch the absolute agony, and pain, on a human face, but we humans can now."
"I saw the absolute agony at what he was about to do, but we were outnumbered here, by thousands of clones, the clones did the real damage, it was not all done by lightsaber." Cin said sternly and he swallowed hard at the warning tone. "Indeed, I tried to talk some sense into him, before Sidious tried that, if he waited just a little longer. He sees me injured, sees the trio, and his resolve is met, as instead of Sidious, he chose vengeance for the 4 of us right now."
"But I consider that an homage, he blasted me out the window, and he avenges us," Mace said sternly to that. "Yeah Mace, my intended plan and after he took control, with sum number left, the remaining number 100, counting Nejaa, but Master Yoda's hubris. Cost you any chance of bringing me back, because he sent Obi-wan after me, Obi-wan went to Padme, she died of a broken heart, the vision was true, I was, in truth."
"Yes I came to help you arrest him here, but we needed him alive, to prove he's playing both sides of the war. Grievous is dead, as is Dooku, that left him now, the war over, peaceful transition. Only he outplayed us, Tarkin had the falsified tapes only trying to prevent you from turning blood red. Just save your soul like you tried to save mine, but sending Obi-wan to Padme, she died of broken heart, right now in truth."
"Forcing me to raise my hand to my wife, he completed the vision, she died in child birth, exactly as I told Padme." he said and he nodded. "So the Jedi murdered a senator, the real Jedi murdered a senator, not just any senator, but the mother of our star pupil. Yes, Master Yoda, you murdered that girl, by sending Obi-wan, and then took those babies. Away from their only family, her parents, you are a murderer!" Thracia said and he went white in shock at that.
"Master Yoda what were you thinking of exactly, you murdered his wife, by sending him after her, destroying any chance we had of revitalizing our numbers!" Mace said in shock and he started shaking then. "So that's what happened, what he meant, with me or against me, with him, we give it 5 years, and everyone of us, he comes across. As we go into hiding on a spot of his choice, and we stay there, as he and Obi-wan destroy Sidious, and he undoes everything."
"That Sidious did, and the Jedi code is changed, as the twins grow up, from age 5 as normal Jedi, not the future heroes of the Rebellion Alliance. But growing up without either point of view, white or black, but the middle ground, grey: The Grey Jedi." Adi said, reading Anakin's warning tone to Obi-wan and Yoda swallowed hard, realizing his fatal mistake. "Indeed Adi, that's exactly what Anakin just explained to me, he said that the way you explained it."
"Master Yoda, he explained to me, in what happened here that day, you decided to go against him and Sidious, he said he had to make him think. That he was with him all the way, but the younglings all were in a medically induced coma." Qui-Gon said sternly and he paled, realizing this was why he was determined to kill him and Obi-wan. As they just completely screwed up any chance of his coming back from the darkside, and destroyed it all.
"No, you did, you and you alone, made sure I stayed in the darkside, completing your version to this damn prophecy. Sidious's version to the damn prophecy, 2 on 2, if you just stayed out of the way, and let Padme handle this. I would be back as quickly as I fell, and the quartet would have been avenged. And along with the rest of the council, aside from you, me, and Obi-wan." Anakin said sternly and he swallowed hard at that.
"Master the changes need to furthered here, this was why I fell to the darkside, you never changed the code. But again, why is it wrong to fall in love, have attachments exactly, look at the sextet, they have them. And they are extremely powerful Jedi Masters, so why I am being treated like I'm dangerous, look at the sextet." he said and Ki jerked at the recriminations then, realizing he was right, he was being a hypocrite then.
"Mace, Kit, Saesee, Agen, Shaak Tii, on me guys, on me, you remember this, I would have told you, she's pregnant, if you waited just a little bit longer. I'm a father, and I make number 6 as a married Jedi, and soon to be father." he said and they nodded then. "Agreed, only we know what happened the night he revealed himself to us, as I would tell you we had your father's research." Mace said sternly, knowing what he was saying for them to do.
"Mace your remark makes sense however, how could they return, without us knowing that, simple, they pretend to be normal." he said and Mace nodded in agreement. "Yes, and you said that Sidious's own mentor, before we went to deal with him right now. Said dropped into your spaceport." he said and Ki froze in shock. "Before you ask in why he never told us this, is because of your being a hypocrite Ki, he decided on a test of trust." Kit said sternly to him.
"A test the 7 of us all passed." Shaak Tii said sternly and he swallowed, realizing the division in the Jedi Order, was the result of this. "What now Ki, are you going to fight me, to keep things as they are, when Plo, Depa, Shaak Tii, Adi, Mace. And Kit all agree with me, you, Yoda and the duo were either retired from the order. Or in the field right now, but who was here for his discovery, and confirmation now?" Anakin asked him sternly then.
And the quintet crossed their arms sternly at that remark. "Those people were us, the quintet, Damon, Tiana, Cin, Minga, Soara, Ry' and me." Winna said sternly and he, Oppo, Ki and Yarael all paled at that remark then. "Agreed, and I have to agree with you right now, so currently I'm still a leading member of the council, so you have me with you Anakin. That I agree with you as well, we have to change." Sifo Dyas said sternly and Anakin nodded sternly then to the news.
"Well that round you were manipulated by the Sith, to create the army, then murdered by Dooku, so we use that against him. The Grey Jedi Order is giving authorization to create the clone Army, but orders 65, 67 and 68, are the fail safe orders, protecting us. The real Jedi Order from extinction now, an order of 10,000 Jedi split in half, so the grouping attacking the temple, is ordered on maximum stun." he said and he nodded.
"I understand, what are these codes standing for?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "Order 65 stated that if a majority of the Senate or the Security Council, in this case now. The Rebellion Alliance, declared that the Supreme Chancellor, at that time Palpatine. Was unfit for duty, the Chancellor was to be arrested or, if necessary, killed. 67, if the order of 66 is issued, is to ignore 66, and shoot to stun, and leave for dead, order 68."
"Once the temple is cleared, stand guard and wait for survivors, and if the said are masters, let them in, and shoot any rebelling clones, for attacking the senatorial. In members that are friends of the Jedi, Mace forgot 65, and this resulted in the purge. We just fix that for this round, as I get back, and shout out 65, and then 68, as I hunt down Andy, and arrest him for this." he said gently and Sifo and Mace nodded sternly then.
"That's 8, plus the team, Nejaa, Cinna, Thracia and Winna, so now what, Master Yoda, 9 for the changes, 5 against. So what's this going to do to the council now, the order shouldn't have to fight each other. For change, Obi-wan sided with me, as evolution is a way of life, if you refuse to evolve, it says the same thing. Your numbers are cut in half, half the order for the new changes, half against, so if that's the way now."
"That it's going to be, we're leaving in peace and moving else where, as Sidious destroys your version of the order, the younglings and leaves us alone right now. You're his enemy, but Mace is the leader of the Order, destined to train our grandchildren now, your mistake is believing in not changing the code. When you had the chance, I had and we persevere now." Anakin said and the team nodded in agreement.
"If I remember correctly, the sekotian ships were classed on the potentium here, by the Ferroans now, but what's that mean exactly anyway?" he asked and Mace nodded. "This belief system was originally known as relativism, Anakin, in truth here right now: believers of Potentium said that the potential for light and dark sides resided in the user. Not the Force itself, and that the Jedi were merely afraid to explore the full potential of the Force, as such."
"Agreed, he keeps things his way, every youngling we have here, when you're 23 is slaughtered right now, because they're growing up sycophants. A peaceful transition, 9 for the changes, 5 against, the motion has passed, the new code means our survival. If that means creating a new Order then so be it, as we join with the Grey Jedi Order. But so long as we stay on Coruscant, it's we're about to become extinct now, we have to leave right now, and move else where now."
"As the Sith just took over the republic, we have to evacuate." Mace said sternly and Yoda swallowed hard at that remark then. "Mace, my friend, though you love the republic, I think it's time you work with the lesser known. In case we have another Melida/Daan or dealing with Zan Arbor right now at the moment. We finally connected, before you were killed at the time here, you I can trust, you're my mentor, in color coordination."
"That the coloring in coding of our branch are really human emotions, we're the ones acting on connecting to NFS here, you as our leader. As the job, in the final months, before he attempts that, is the key now here, I could use a grandmaster. And leave Master Yoda with the Republic, we decided to move our operations to Yavin IV. This way we can deal with another situation here now." Anakin said and he nodded, smiling.
"Fair enough Anakin and there's the two way street, you trust me, I trust you, it's just you hanging around him I couldn't trust. But now that we got you away from him, is a small violation is fine, you never snapped my trust in two. As we fix the connection in later years now, if Wehutti calls us up, but Qui', I can be your grandmaster. As the Jedi are splitting down the middle now." he said and Qui-Gon nodded, as Clee, Adi, Tiana and Damon smiled at him.
"Two versions of the Jedi, one deals with the Republic, the other the criminal network, bring peace and stability to the Galaxy. And our team, as the five of us, are on Yavin IV, along with whoever wants to join us right now. But we need to stay hidden, then at age something, the twins are separated." Adi said and Qui-Gon nodded smiling gently. "Watch it with the war there, but at least Padme knows we care, and we're doing something to protect her right now."
"She knows the job decided on an update to the Jedi code, we can get fall in love and get married now finally, and she knows we adore her." Mace said and she nodded in agreement then. "We have 10,000 Jedi here, and more coming into training every day, so we split us down the middle 5,000 here, and 5,000 on Yavin IV. Alright, so all Jedi joining the New Jedi, pack up your rooms, and head for Yavin IV, sessions are every 5 months, in the council now here."
"We need the Jedi to scope out the best temple on Yavin IV, just stay clear of the Massassai temples, if the brotherhood is still haunting the planet." he said and they all nodded to the orders. "Brotherhood, as in Exar Kun?" Anakin repeated and he nodded. "He never knew when to stop when alive, and never knew now, even in death here, son." he said to him and he nodded. "No kidding right now, he's out of his mind." Anakin said and he nodded gently.
"Anakin, reading the trilogy directly after the Solo twins were born, Kyp had your reaction, and Han and Lando had to talk him down, this was directly after Luke came back. Our new ones were no older then Luke when he started training, in that version of our lives. And Kyp was 16, Darian was killed along with his wife, he's no older then A.J.." he said and Anakin nodded. "I got it, so me, Luke, his girlfriend, Kyp, that's 4, it can work." he said and Mace nodded.
"The twins, my version are 28, Han 38, Lando 39, and it worked with me, it worked on Luke and his girlfriend, and now it works on Kyp. The injuries will heal true, but the emotional scars, the night sweats, the flashbacks. The side effects, will never completely go away, we get pushed too far our eyes change color. So please, be patient with us, we been completely traumatized here now." he said to them at that.
"Yeah the PTSD will never go away completely baby, you're recovering and we're waiting for the screaming awake panic attack in the middle of the night here." Minga said and he nodded in agreement. "We know, I just found that out the hard way, he woke up screaming after a nightmare, Mace. That I had to wake him up, before he took his lightsaber to me, just one mission and now it starts." Panaka said over the radio and they nodded sternly.
"Dare I ask what it was exactly, baby?" Thracia said carefully and he sighed then. "The night I made that choice, I was in the council chambers, seeing the younglings. It's like I was seeing a passerby, I tried to stop him, but he cut my wrists off then attacked." he said, as they saw his eyes slightly red and she nodded. "You and Vader are volleying for position, and you're trying to stop Vader, but your current age, not strong enough." Mace said to him gently.
"We're cloning your alter ego, but we still have to slam that door shut, baby." she added and he nodded. "The one that started you was the trial of flesh, but there's 5 more the last was lava, you get the other 5, you make full knight at 28 and you have 10 years, and make master at 38. Like your brother, but you're training your first padawan, Ahsoka, from 25 to 39, Luke is from age 40 to 54, your grandson 55 to 69, so with that, same as normal, 14 years between."
"Your brother had you till you reached 27, and then switched to a new padawan we selected for him, as he learned here, but yes we're good teachers, but we're not infallible. That we can make mistakes, it's just owning up to those mistakes and try again and fix it with the next one." he said and Anakin nodded to the news then. "So Ahsoka, Luke and then comes my oldest grandson, as he learns the true power, but this war between us, is going too far."
"If I remember correctly here was the Trial of Skill, the Trial of Courage, the Trial of the Flesh, the Trial of Spirit, and the Trial of Lava. Each test was harder then the last one, you get them all you become a Jedi knight, and proceed to the even harder stage. As you Masters have been through the flames, and left scarred, that's why you're masters, you've seen the dangers, and lived to tell about it." he said and Mace nodded.
"Very good, but the trial of skill is about to become a survival test, you're starting that in a situation, like say, you're running into the bounty hunters. You needed all your skills to stay alive and with it, during your camping trip now. In your case, if they order you to stay on Melida/Daan there's your trial of skill, you have to survive in a war. Alone now, with nothing, but your training, and your lightsaber." he said and Anakin nodded smiling gently to him then.
"And that was mine, my trial of survival, I left the Order and joined the revolution, trial of self, I wanted to be a padawan again, yes I love my friends. But my place is there with you, at my master's side." Obi-wan said and he nodded in affection. "There you see, you realized you wanted to stay a padawan, and changed again now here. Before changing back, and you suffered a trauma, in killing in self defense, in the siege." he said and he nodded.
"Yes Master, I'm me again, of cub me, pre Melida/Daan." he said and they chuckled and nodded. "We're not doing that again right now, as once was enough here, so to prevent that, we're doubling teams, so you padawans have someone your own age to talk to. While your masters are in counsel with us now and each other here, but at 15 now. The Order is splitting down the middle, and we create our own code here, and 6 trials." Mace said and they nodded.
"Currently after fixing our connections we're just turned 13 year olds trapped in our going on 20 year old bodies at that age right now. So what else here right now, our knowledge of mechanics Tru, you had 3/4's the repairs down. But guessing here, the reason it kept losing power, is the crystals, from the strain, cracked to lose it. In the stability, and needed to be swapped now, before you put it to use, let me finish it."
"As I talked some sense into you, we're that close, don't give in, we can fix this, but after my head injury." he said and Tru nodded. "Even when with that type of concussion, you're seeing what I missed in the repairs here, to complete them. But if Andy fixed the flux aperture, why did he never remind me to compensate. And for the power boost now, just to make sure the repairs will hold up, because he's in trouble here." he said to him then gently.
"I'm not entirely sure, but looks like he was hurt you never came to him, for repair work, he knew and kept his mouth shut. Then again, I'm your best friend, so you came to me and Ferus instead, so me. I'm coming to you, and making sure we fix the thing, before you make a mistake that gets you in trouble. Ferus is the oldest of us, he should come forward, without me forcing you to." he said and they both nodded then.
"Good point here, alright, instead of me coming to you, you come to me, and you guys help me check the damage here on, but Korriban and the darkside. Said is screwing with our focus, but if that's not mental seduction and nothing is right now Annie. It was after the Slams, the temple split into two halves and Andy was staying here, and going to Sidious. And repeatedly, you came to Master Windu and our parents." he said and Anakin nodded, as Mace nodded sternly then.
"As I said, it's very dangerous putting those two together, I don't the boy can handle it, I don't trust him." he said and Kit and Obi-wan nodded. "Well you know you can trust me now, I been in training, since getting out of the nursery, Mace. But we keep this up, and my title in the war took on a whole new meaning right now. After ending the war single handedly on MD, and the siege here in the temple." Anakin said and he nodded, smiling.
"And keep it up, you're going to scare us into a coronary son, dial it down, you're 13 by then, you're not indestructible here, so take it down a couple notches." Damon said to him gently then. "Strong, smart, kind, courageous, a cunning warrior, a gifted fighter pilot and a very, very dear friend, to us, you're all we talk about, so if Brazen gets jealous. Not your fault, you have this effect on everyone that you come into contact with." Adi said and Ferus smiled gently.
And Dane, Darra and Lana crossed their arms. "Yeah there it is, the blast did blow your power circuit, you fixed that, and that get you got it 75% it just needs a few tweaks. Here and there, but once I finish and you're good to go, status check, turn it on, the blow could have created a flaw in it and at the worst possible time. You had 3/4's the repairs finished, but if it's still losing power: the crystals." he said and the duo nodded.
"We better add a new one, the trial of honesty, the lightsaber was the honesty test, and Andy flunked that one, while the rest of us made it, during Korriban. So our stories all match, Anakin fixed the lightsaber, we told you, and then rather then being killed. Anakin slammed the blaster into stun, highest setting and she was knocked unconscious. But survived the fight, I told you my lightsaber was broken, Ferus told you now." Tru said and the quartet nodded in agreement.
"Once we do that, we got to tell your mothers and my father, as our stories all match, and this is a penalty both quintets are not letting Andy get away with." he said and Adi nodded in stern agreement. "Our brothers and sisters and our mentor/parent, good point there, and knowing this came from Andy. I'm ready for the trials, but they feel as though I'm too unpredictable, they won't let me move on, it's worse, they're overly critical, they never listen."
"They just don't understand, it's not fair!" Ferus quoted and Anakin completed that. "All mentors have more ways seeing our flaws then we like, it's the only way we grow." he said and the quintet and Mace nodded in agreement. "Issues when we knew someone lied till you reported to us, the blasted thing was broken, and again, if he knew. Then why didn't he tell us, before you said it for all of you, in your quartet." Cin asked and he crossed his arms sternly.
"The envy of his always being treated as the best grated on him, that with us on Korriban he decided to do the duty to your friends catch. And we all did duty to the truth, of course, that's the one time, in my ex personality. I let crazed jealousy dictate my actions, but after getting father back and 10 years learning. The said skill now, you know Sidious has no way to get to me, so there you go." he said and they nodded then.
"Indeed, but it was close, any closer, she'd be dead right now, but your head injury, why did he never tell us the bloody thing was broken. You're in no condition for a fight of this level, and not with that head injury." Tiana said to this news. "Want for better word, after 3 years training since going on 7, and I came out of the nursery, so to speak. Like the others had, we developed quite the repoire in working together." he said and they nodded.
"With your parents leaving us in charge of you kids, during training now, you collapse at the wheel, your mother's going to kill me for letting you do the piloting." Adi said and Mace nodded. "Indeed, us humans have a case of healthcare to be worried about, that making sure you, our 19 to 22 year old students don't over do it right now, young man. But after the issue, of leaving you alone on Melida/Daan, we're not doing this twice with you." he said to him gently then.
"Arresting the duo is not worth your ending up in the emergency room, both you and Darra, because someone wants to stop these two right now. But your advancement is not the reason we're there right now, we were going to investigate. If possible arrest these guys, but if in the middle of it, someone got hurt, the mission gets called off. They can wait, but right now, you need to rest, this is New Apsolon all over again." Damon said and Mace nodded in agreement.
"Baby, after that blow to the head, we need you where we can see you right now, so stay indoors, if you want something to do, it's further creation. And of your lightsaber collection, but no piloting, we're not risking you passing out at the controls." Winna said and he nodded with a sigh, seeing the look of his 19 years old self then, Mace resisted the urge. To run a hand through the hair at the nape of his neck, with them on the opposite sides of the galaxy, and waited.
And till they were together to do that then. "Just like I wasn't risking you over doing it with the rock landing on your leg Obi-wan, but you were 16. And barring 17, he's just turned 19 by this point, that even at that age, none of us see you at your current age. But still our baby at learning lightsaber and force training." Qui-Gon said and he smiled and Anakin looked down with a smile at that and Winna chuckled at the response then.
"Yeah to fix the compensation in your lightsaber, I gave you some of my crystals, and now your lightsaber was humming happily. And at his brother lightsaber preventing him from having a blow out." Anakin said and Mace chuckled at that. "Yeah like I'm happy you prevented me from getting in trouble, by finishing the repairs. One last mission, and then we do some serious triage on that lightsaber." Tru said gently and Ferus nodded in agreement.
