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.
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 21: Returning Missions, Truths, And Back To Naboo VII
"This is simple right now, but to the entire galaxy, any child of mine, beyond powerful, staying good could become their secret of their success in destroying your dictatorship. While to them, if my children ever turned as well this galaxy would never stand a chance right now. But Evil thrives on the sins, the good sticks to the straight and narrow, and yes, yes right now. We're Jedi, but we're only human, for those of us who are human." he said and Mace nodded sternly.
"I know what you're thinking after you felt the power blast, all that power, your's for the taking, if you can condition me to question everything. Everything the council has to teach me, don't be a pawn of the Jedi Council, well I consider that a compliment. A compliment rather then an insult, never figured out the gentle look of love in Master's eyes towards me. The trust between us, well your window of opportunity just slammed shut, the window of opportunity is closed."
"Because 1) my father is still alive, don't try anything, the door is guarded by some of Dack's security teams, 2) I explained certain things on my past to the council. And 3) they told me I already had what I needed without need to go against everything I believe in. Reason being is Father studied the power already, so he teaches it to me, I teach it to my kids. And we got a way to do this with breaking our morality to do it." he said and they watched him go white.
"But you consider the bond of connection of a padawan to his mentor, there is mental/emotional link, between a Jedi and his apprentice. One that enables you to see and feel everything whoever on the other side of that link is seeing and feeling. Ergo, the anger at our father getting stabbed shot into me, I helped kill that Zabrak that stabbed our father. Before he felt my careful calculation of getting it right on the first shot, by shooting blind." he said and he swallowed.
"Whoa, the connection was correct, Obi-wan's meant to be his mentor of the normal training, I got him for Master Guardian." Siri said and Yoda nodded. "Like Qui-Gon and Obi-wan, connection, snapped into place between them, it did. That meant to be it his padawan, Anakin is now, never stood a chance, Ferus does and not when spent days and hours together. The trio have, but jealousy of connection, not tolerating it, I am." he said and the council nodded then.
"If you are 'him', then I should tell you your mentor dropped into my spaceport 3 weeks ago, but I knew something was severely wrong, when he was questioning me. Meeting my father, I felt safe, like he was the one I was meant to become now in all truth here. Before hearing I am force sensitive, a chance to choose, before I was even given a choice. But that fatherly to grandfatherly attitude, you're not fooling me, I see the calculation of lust for power here."
"In your eyes right now." he said and Mace shifted his gaze to Palpatine's eyes then and saw a look that disturbed him greatly. "Yikes, that look on his face, it says he wants him for his power right now." Siri said, crossing her arms and Yoda nodded sternly. "Well I am saying it now, but no, I want nothing to do with you, my mentors as the grandmaster. And the council themselves just arrived, I am to report into them on what happened here, but I see it oh so clearly."
"But my family's source of destruction, seems to be stemmed from you or your colleague, if you are associated with 'him' or you are 'him'. But I am making this highly clear right now, but I will never turn to the darkside, you failed my lord, I am a Jedi, like my father before me." he said and turned his back to him. "You want to kill me?" he asked him and he froze up. "I…." he said shaking and Mace nodded. "Got it, if he is one, pull it, he's finished." Adi said and he nodded.
"If this was me, I would do the same thing and…., oh for force's sake, he's a near 10 year old me, but the kindness and caring of Obi-wan, and the sharp edge, loyalty. And devotion of me when I was his age, 18 months, then we activate him at 11 years old old. And we just put his copy of his new lightsaber on a time delay, as you and Father train him till I come home." Siri said and Adi and Yoda nodded as he and Yaddle exchanged bemused smiles at his attempt.
"Not necessary that was Anakin, but nice mental trap, attacks you either way, if he is one, and take him down, we do." Yoda said with a bemused smile then and Adi tried to keep from laughing. "Push him into attacking him with his back turned, and us waiting for the attack, try it, and we got our evidence he is one, as that could be taken as he is in league with the Master. Or he is the Master, talk about a role reversal." Tiana said with a chuckle and he nodded smiling.
"Oh nice bait and switch son, pull it, we take him down." Damon said smiling at that. "I know you do, I can feel your anger, it's making you weaker, you're losing focus now. But if you're not paying attention, look around us." Anakin said and Palpatine froze up, realizing he forgot his surroundings and they were not alone at that. And as he saw the members of the council that came to Naboo, watching him carefully, as he realized they were waiting for a response.
"But how stupid can you be to not realize you been outplayed by a near 10 year old Jedi padawan exactly?" Siri said, hiding her laughter and Mace nodded smiling sternly. "The Jedi already decided this: unless it's of the utmost importance, you are allowed no where. Now, near me, from this moment on, your success depends on getting a Skywalker to take here. In what you have to offer, a deal with the devil, take what you characters offer, our souls belong to you."
"After that, but I get that same power from my father, and it's no strings attached, I get it from you, I just sold myself back into slavery, not going to happen." he said and Mace crossed his arms as he nodded in agreement then as he leaned his head against Obi-wan's side and Mace hid a smile at that response, the young preteen was showing who he belonged to already. As he saw the amused and caring smile of his apprentice then in Obi-wan's eyes gently at that.
"Cub, we brought said text you need to learn this from an early age, but you have everything you need with us, but said bad side effect. With us, we gave you something solid to stand on, them: they let you run wild, your mother gave you rules, as did we. With those rules you knew to stay out of trouble, adoptive family, we're your extended family padawan." Damon said and he nodded gently and the Council hid a smile as he looked at Palpatine sternly as he said it then.
" But if your master is a master of that ability, I take it, I return to those shackles, knowing the Jedi have that text, the one I need, I turn to them and I stay free." he said and Adi force passed the said text to him and he nodded as he read it and put it in his pack. "This is what you would have offered me, in exchange for my soul, to save who I love. No, not going to happen, I learn as a padawan, I stay free, a Sith, I'm a slave, I choose freedom." he said and the council smiled.
"This, this is information as everything you would have offered me, the information to save who I love, like my adult self would have said, one day I will find that key. And instead, the Jedi council give it to me no strings attached, but is that fear I see in your eyes. You know that with Masters Yoda, Windu, Mundi, Fisto and Gallia giving me it there is no chance. None at all of you luring me to the darkside." he said and the quintet smiled at that as he went further sternly.
"Check his eyes Father, Master, Master Yoda, it's a definite 'No, how do I get to him now, all my careful planning destroyed by Yoda's meddling!'." Soara said and Mace and Adi looked at the furious look in Palpatine eyes, behind the careful control of chancellor and nodded sternly. "Yes we just destroyed his house of sabbacc cards, and now he has to go to stacking them. And in a new way now, nice try, my lord." Mace said sternly and Anakin nodded with a stern look then.
"There's no question in my eyes who I should side with, but Padme, if we get married is going to be broken hearted if the first of several atrocities. Said is you telling me to kill my friends, my mentors, my baby brothers and sisters, the only way she and my mother could die. Said is I turn, will I won't, I will save her and my wife, my sisters, how stupid do you think I am. But one side effect of being cub of the council, I got permission by my other color mentor for archives."
"Being cub padawan to a council member comes in handy, doesn't it my lord, mother mentor was the Jedi that gave me this, her current padawan is my big sister. I am a member of 2 teams, the Jinn/Kenobi and the Gallia/Tachi, but I am never leaving my mother mentor. And when not with my parents she and Father take care of me, why should I believe you. Everything you would've told me is a lie, going to the darkside is a slavery." he said and Adi nodded gently.
"What you would claim as to get my trust was just forestalled, but you ever consider the me talking to you ran this version of our lives over again. Father is alive, I am part of two teams, I belong to Master Yoda as his youngest council member. Father talked some sense into me, before we tricked you, and you show your true colors here now. But why should I believe you, everything you ever told me was a lie." he said sternly as he looked at him and he swallowed.
As a movie box appeared and they saw a golden lion with a red mane, and then a dark skinned lion with green eyes and a scar. "Oh kriff, that's what this animal said to his counterpart, 'Why should I believe you, everything you ever told me was a lie.'." Mace said, looking at the way the older lion was panicked, at the way the younger was ready to kill then. "The younger cat Anakin is, the Chancellor is the older cat." Yaddle said sternly and Yoda nodded in stern agreement.
"Indeed, Darkside, another slavery it is, but freedom at the cost of a traumatizing pre-adulthood now, understand I do padawan. But need me, always be there for you, promise I do." Yoda said softly and the council nodded in agreement gently. "Something weird was going on, there was no logic to the trade federation's moves here, it's not Padme they were after. It's a pattern, a formula, one we should know on the second we see it, and funnily enough I do right now."
"As to how and why, it happened 13 years ago after a mission to a planet in constant turmoil right now, the last piece is distraction. You get my mentor and the grandmaster out of the way and then reveal yourself to me. This is all made by the very same pattern, it's a mystery wrapped in an enigma, one that I don't figure out and soon can and could destroy us. Till they came to get me and now we realize it, the Sith are back." he said and he swallowed hard then.
"Oh my gods, not again, it's Xanatos all over again!" Adi said and Yoda jerked at the news in shock. "Disruption, demoralization, distraction all together equals devastation, thank you padawan for showing us that, we see it and you're right. That's the key, if he's in league with our Sith or he is one, the last piece means getting half of us off the capitol. And till he reveals himself forcing you into that choice, no not going to happen." Mace said and Yoda nodded then.
"What makes you think I can trust you, because that legend is inside the archives, but I have no need for it, as Father is alive right now. I get it from him, nothing changes at all. I grow up to be the most powerful human Jedi in history, siring several more, my family stands in your way. And from now till the day comes to when my grandchildren are in their mid 30's and I am retired. As my son takes over, but a single skim I become like my status mentor, but the secret to this."
"I know the secret here, to being free of the poisons of the darkside, and only by the love, the love, trust and bonds, of friends and family can you be free of said shackles." he said and Adi smiled. "But why was Master Windu considered a legend, as the three main colors of the Jedi are blue, green and yellow, but for some reason, the only members with a different color. Then these are the Gallia/Tachi team and Master Windu hmm, what do these colors mean exactly."
"Well hot pink near violet is, if you're a girl, you're a Free Spirit, the Sentinels, if they try to control the red, they shine with the light of the sun. That's rising sun, to keep said darkness at bay, as for the purple, carry the red your heart, but you're a guardian. So which do you think I am, when I met my sister and her mentor this young and connected to them and Master Windu. Because, there were several changes that mean life and death here in the eyes of the council."
"But to him I never have to fear my powers or that evil in my heart, because they are just like me so again. Just which one do you think I am here, Free Spirits, Sunlight orange, of the morning sun. Or just Violet as the blues, with said red, are a stronger Guardian, which do you think here." he said as he swung his hand out and the training lightsaber on Siri's belt shot off it and flew into his hand as he turned it on and it went light purple at that and Mace smiled then.
"There we go baby, no need to be afraid, you're not alone, things change, we get you're afraid of those powers and where they lead, but you're not alone now. We're just like you, so you don't have to be afraid, you're not evil, you're like everyone else here." Siri said softly then and he looked passed Palpatine directly at her with a smile and she smiled then gently at him. "But I know I got evil, the red in my soul, but I'm only human, we all got good or evil in us here."
"But the part we choose to act on is most important, that's who we are really, I'm not afraid anymore of my powers, or that evil. And not when I know I'm not alone, my branch are known as the Master Guardians. But we're Jedi that control the evil in our hearts, but are free spirits, Sentinels or Guardians. But word of warning, my daughter is like me and I'm like the leader of my branch, as a Master, carry the red in my heart, but I'm a guardian, and here I am now."
"You're red, the Zabrak is red, Obi-wan is blue, good or evil there is no black or white, but shades of grey in all areas here. But where's the line between both sides, where, well the answer to that is by the Grey Jedi. Or in this case right now, what is a Master guardian, well they carry the red, but are sentinels or guardians, guys now!" he called out and the trio all switched their lightsabers on all at once as Palpatine saw Orange, Pinkish violet and Purple then.
"That's what I am, I am a Guardian, youngest of the Master Guardians, to be exact, my team as a Master Guardian, is the Gallia/Tachi team. My counselor, is Master Windu himself, they decided on a test of force skills and anger control and I aced all of them. The council just made their choice, I am to be placed on Master Gallia's team as her youngest padawan. While Father trains me in normal one on one, she has me for said color definition." he said and Palpatine swallowed.
"You're too late my lord, but my Master, why don't you come join us." Anakin said and Mace nodded and moved to him and Obi-wan at that in response. "I believe you already know Master Windu, well they decided on a trial learning basis, and in just short of a week. I revealed I did learn something from them, I have learned so much, but the me that would be. By being around you is no more, I am their me now, I am a Padawan, a Jedi Youngling, I love my mentors."
"Just met yes, but I love my mentors, they, Master Gallia, Father, Masters Rhara, Merrin, D'Uni and Calrissian, my Jedi family." he said and the council smiled gently then. "Yeah cub made his choice, we're it." Tiana said softly and Damon and Yoda nodded gently. "But love and strength of heart is the key to being free of the darkside, you know it, I know it and they know it. But look at me, a gentle nudge with my powers, I become this strong in only a week, but key factor."
"But I know, if you're that interested in me, then you felt the power blast, at the same time the Grandmaster felt it, felt it, understood it and knows, stay a Jedi. That power can be used to save billions and I use my powers for good, but if you're him, the Sithmaster. The mentor of our Zabrak, then you get your hands on my powers it's a supernova or black-hole. Now waiting to happen, but you're both very powerful, my powers are the goal, but here it is now in truth."
"There's a key factor they deserved to know here, one you were praying they never figure out now, one that we know, if you and our Sithmaster, the mentor of our Zabrak. Are one and the same now, and you are, you're mine, if my destiny to bring balance to the force. And destroy the Sith, but there are two ways that can be accomplished here now. But 1) I become a Sith and make the sides even, or 2) I stay myself and my brother, my twin or my baby brother."
"Whichever, becomes your apprentice and I stay a Jedi, but this war between our orders begins when I am in my final stages, but it's no secret. It's no secret that the Queen turned Senator Amidala and I are married, but she's also pregnant. But how stupid do you think we are, if you can't get to me, then you target my children next here. But do you honestly think the council or the Alliance, my wife's organization, will ever let you near them?" he said and Yoda nodded.
"Then choose the second option we do, if there is a war a-rising between us and the Sith, not losing you, if need be, disable you, to take you alive we do and lock him back up, we do. But if that's penitence for what happened that night, understand we do, Padawan, understand I do. That take time and patience, but make a full recovery, you will." Yoda thought out loud gently as he watched the Chancellor carefully at the remark as he repeated the remark then, shaking.
"But how stupid do you think we are right now, if you can't have unlimited access to me, you try to put me in a situation, to brush the darkside repeatedly. Mission after mission, after mission, same pattern every time, as I go to council with my adult self. My brother, sister and mother mentor, so easy fix, as I go to council with my other adult self, and the grandmaster. And get in one last authorized mission to give whoever it is a fighting chance, and then I go home now."
"My scales evened back out, and land on being a padawan, a Jedi, my place is at my mentor's side, always, though normal, I am a Jedi, my place and commitment. Is at my mentor's side, I love my mentors, both age groups, my family, my place is with them." he said and Mace hid a smile gently at that remark. 'Indeed, been listening to me too much he has right now at the moment, to say that, nicely done, that is Annie.' Yoda thought, hiding a smiling at that remark.
"I see it, oh so clearly here, that with Father and the Jedi, I get that power no strings attached, grow up studying it, put it to use a few times. I can save my family, and teach it to younger generations as they grow up, I get it from you, now. And I sell myself back into slavery and throw myself back into those shackles, so no, it's going to happen here. I'm free and I want to stay free, before freeing my counterparts, first on my planet and then Krayne's mine now."
"Who is Krayne, well Krayne is a slave raider, slave trader, and a slave's worst nightmare, getting rid of him, means freedom. Freedom of living in fear they will be taken from their families by him, but he's mine. He's mine now and he's being taken down finally, but how stupid do you think I am, if you're the Sith, you used this to me make brush it. The darkside, but when that doesn't work, you try to tempt my non force sensitive side, but no, that doesn't work too."
"But these stunts to make me brush the darkside are wearing thin, I grew up normal yes, but Jedi are like everyone else, we are not susceptible to the sins. Anymore than anyone else is, but we want what everyone has, finding love and starting a family, but I had a life. Before I became a Padawan, but just where did that necklace around her neck come from?" he asked and Mace saw a polished wooden medallion around the queen's neck and then smiled as he got it then.
"The pieces of my past that are being used are of high quality, but this is not the first time, we considered you beyond cruel and abusing your position." he said and they watched Palpatine as he jerked at that remark in shock. "To quote Father now, they must trust my judgement, I know what is best for my family, if that means, if I had turned. Having my family, that's including my wife, my children, Light and Courage, safely on board my ship, till I get rid of the Master."
"Followed by Andy, he's being arrested, and I take his place, to start destroying your dictatorship from within, what could be simpler. Then to have my family, Courage's husband and his friends with me." he said and Yoda nodded. "The Skywalker Clan, but Light and Courage, so Courageous Light, with the fact we're on Naboo." he said and Padme smiled. "I know what they would say if I told them she's pregnant with my children, over said premonitions right now."
"And that is I have what I seek already, in their hands, force healing yes, but what about heart and soul, Father has that skill, I have everything I need. So why listen to you at all, my Lord, I have what I need through Master and Father. I am a Jedi, but the future is not set, there is no fate, but what we make, I do nothing and study this skill. Padme survives. I act on it, it's a bloodbath, I will follow my master and the force." he said and Yoda smiled proudly at that
'Luke and Leia, Courageous Light, nice choice Annie, okay, if you're my future husband, we name the twins that then.' she thought gently to that. "But not for the first time, this abusing your position is wearing thin right now, but at times right now, said mental door is left opened. I gained enough to know this, but first, Krayne, a return trip to my brother's own padawan-hood. And when he was also 13, meaning I meet his version of my age group's grouping alias now."
"Followed by a repeater of dealing with another mad scientist, and with her, another adult version of Andy and his young adult counterpart, so yes, beyond cruel and abusive." he said and Tiana crossed her arms. "Oh nice one Annie, throw it back in his face, we're the good one, he's a threat to your relationship with us." Damon said to that, sternly smiling. "But you think we don't know you're choosing us as her, the queen's bodyguards was a trap, so you can kill my mother."
"By using the Tuskins to do so, well I do, and I can take a detour to see my mother, as I pass a second copy of said same necklace to the queen, now the planet senator. This one is now going off promise bracelet, and is a engagement present, as we spend sum weeks together. On vacation now, till I get word back, the Jinn/Kenobi team found who assigned that assassin. Just to kill the queen, my version, and your nerf is cooked here." he said sternly and he swallowed.
"But my father is alive, I'm not turning on everything he ever taught me, his teachings, or their very principles, my principles, for the power to save who I love. Ever, so you failed my lord, I am a Jedi, like my father before me." he said and Yoda smiled. "And word of warning, just consider if everything I just said turns true, who are you more afraid of finding out. In what you are: Master Windu, or the grandmaster himself?" he said and they watched him go white at that.
"That's not a threat, merely advice, from one order to another, choose your words carefully, or they maybe your last as your current position. But just consider this was an emergency, and the votes get re-evaluated, they choose a more clean cut Chancellor. Or just re-enstate Chancellor Valorum, you ever consider she set the trap, and you walked right into it. Cross and double, and she and her grouping are in this together, with us, as the Jedi order?" he said and Mace smiled.
"Ooh, nice catch son, makes a good point, this could have been an emergency vote till the blockade crisis is over, before we re-vote and put someone else in place." Panaka said and Mace nodded hiding a smile at his fast thinking then. 'Annie honestly, your trying to get a rise out of him, is like poking a sleeping krayt dragon, keep it up, you're going to get killed. Careful honey, careful, watch your step here.' Padme thought and Soara nodded to that.
"Annie, he created that for her, as a going away present, but a permanent link now, he….., he gave her his heart." Soara said softly and Mace nodded gently. "Not old friends, she becomes the Naboo senator next and is on the Capitol, we get to see her all the time now. As we knew in advance that friendship turned to love and they became engaged after the attack on her." Tiana said to Mace and Adi and they both nodded smiling gently as they knew he was in love with her.
"The ones that know the most are the 8 of us, Clee and Garen." Adi said smiling and he nodded gently in agreement. "We knew in advance that they were betrothed, but there it is, we know in advance, so while Qui' and Obi-wan have the search, Siri and I got protection duty. And the radio is off till he pages Annie, and we go from there, the plan and trap is set." she added and Mace nodded, as he exchanged looks with Yoda, Kit and Ki then and they both nodded then.
"He's telling us that's a promise bracelet, or in this case a necklace, he gave her his heart, not attachment, he's in love with her." Mace said and Yoda nodded with gentle affection then. "Just wait till her side gets the truth and then both sides come together as one. We share the same goal, as his time as Chancellor should have ended after we hit the peak of whatever struggle. That we got, but before he goes on bodyguard duty we got to check on Shmi now, in truth."
"So the investigation is the Jinn/Kenobi team, my unit has protection duty, and he's checking in with Mother and me, before switching planets." Siri said and Mace, Adi and Yoda nodded smiling in agreement then. "Making adjustments, before he falls asleep on the job, after a double shift right now, so…., yes, protection duty means medical sabbatical. As she's on vacation, he's on sabbatical, and the radio is off till he decides to switch planets." Adi said and Yoda nodded then.
"But not Anakin, not Anakin, for now, my name is Annie, if you hear the Queen calling me that, it's because she and my mother, my friends and mentors. They can continue using my nickname if they want, Annie for now, that's short for Anakin by the way. But this is the name I will use till I'm 18 and then, if they want to keep using it, that's fine with me, they can." he said and both groups exchanged smiles at the news, knowing the boy they knew would never change now.
'Annie, my Annie.' Padme Amidala thought, smiling as he looked over his shoulder at her and she smiled as he gave her a reassuring smile. 'Nothing's changed my Angel, nothing ever will, I promise, I will keep in touch and keep coming back to see you. I promise my love, you're my everything.' she saw in his eyes and she smiled at him. 'Love you too, my Annie.' she thought as Mace hid a smile, knowing what the young couple mentally exchanged.
"Oh boy, he's mentally a 26 year old trapped in the body of a near 10 year old here." Soara said to Adi and she and Damon nodded. "Well I see it clearly, putting faces to names, he met me, Kit, Yaddle, Ki, and Mace already, but it's the 5 of you and Winna he doesn't know yet. But as we're here for a couple days till we head home, then he has the time to get to know you. Before our team quartet is assembled and he's in late creche training." she said and Yoda nodded gently.
"The voice of a 25 year old padawan, trapped in the body of a near 10 year old now, grown more mature, since the testing he has and become everything. That wanted him to be from an out of the temple raised, he has now." Yoda said and she nodded in agreement. "We stick with the plan here, that though Qui' has him for regular training and I got him. For Master Guardian Master?" she asked and he nodded. "Indeed, stick to plan, we do." he said and she nodded then.
"As of right now, we're friends, her and me, we stay in touch with each other, as of right now, my parents get to see me after 6 months of training, every month after this. As of right now, every thing that the Jedi offers in careers, I am taking right now, I get picked or I don't. But either way, I got a life to return to and I keep my lightsaber as well too, but clearly. As of right now, I'm on the edge of 10, just a child still, a youngling, that why grow up that fast right now."
"But as of right now, still a youngling, so Annie, in the case of the order, till I'm 20 here now, but where growing up is concerned. I want to enjoy being a padawan, a youngling of 10 to 17 years old, as long as possible." Anakin said sternly and Palpatine swallowed hard at that. "But with being only 9, barring 10, in theory, in their eyes, I am a padawan, actuality. It's I am only a youngling, I need rest and food here in the eyes of my mentors, but you think they're going to."
"In truth take it lightly, I lost 10lbs being trapped on a planet in constant war, and my return mission has the minor missions going non stop. Till a rescue of a friend of mine in my class finally lays me out after a near drowning. Said that drains the last of my strength and the water is ice cold right now?" he asked and Mace crossed his arms. "That happens and whoever it is that caused it is getting diced, once was enough in my eyes." Mace said and Yoda nodded then.
"Thank gods we got a swimming pool at the temple, he can learn to swim, but the lake in the room of a thousand fountains is 25ft deep in the middle. That for Mon Calamari it's not a problem, but humans we need the re-breathers to get down that deep. But he took his epithet just a little far here, nearly scaring us into a coronary next by that point after getting down that deep." Winna said and Mace and Yoda nodded in agreement to that as they exchanged looks.
"I met a Darth Plaeguis the wise, before Father and the queen dropped in a week later, care to tell me if there is any theory connected to him. Because with my father alive, said carrot offered is now null and void." he said and he straightened at that. "I…., I do young man." he said shaking and Anakin crossed his arms after clipping his lightsaber to his belt. "If that intel is already in the hands of the Jedi, I can learn it that way, after repeated close calls here now."
"Or just Father getting shot and taken captive by some crazed scientist for the second time in 15 to 18 years right now, and this time we got to rescue another Jedi from this person. Just how many times can you try this till they finally had it with you right now. They maybe my mentors, but currently they're my legal guardians when I'm on the capitol. That they got to rescue us, how many times can they do this before they had enough, that's Master Yoda, Father, Mother."
"Master Windu and their padawans, let alone Master Windu's counterpart counselor, I should enjoy these years while I got the time to. But whoever you're in league with if you are the Sithmaster, if we found this on you, you're just diminishing your chances at your position. But how soon, before we realize, Darra, my best friend, my best female friend now in truth. Was the bait, before mom and Darra combine together for said brush." he said and the man went white.
'Got'cha, my lord.' Obi-wan thought, seeing the look of fear on Palpatine's face at that and Yoda hid a nod to that response sternly. "But you think he doesn't know this, if you insured Father was killed, cut us off from each other, separate us and then you reveal yourself. Before you force the council to try and mutiny, and we all know that means treason, you can disband us. For an attempted assassination attempt here on you, but no, nice try, Master, Mace, Obi-wan and me."
"We can change that to you just tried to kill me, after this conversation and test goes in reverse, but your feeble attempts are no match for the power of good and light. But there is no light or dark, there is only the force, the force is what keeps me balanced. I see the mental trap easily, if things were in reverse, you expose yourself to me, try to force me into it. And before I turn you in, I try to arrest you myself, but you almost kill me by blasting me into the wall here."
"Of your office at the arena, as that final blow to the head finishes it off and they tried to arrest you, that gets us out of treason. As the Alliance decides on a vote of no confidence in you, like you did with Valorum." he said and Padme crossed her arms. 'Choose the second option, we do, not losing you my padawan, not to him, don't change, Annie. Never, never change, stay you forever.' Yoda thought sternly, knowing he was telling him the true meaning of the prophecy.
"But Mace, Obi-wan and Master Yoda know this, fully human I got a power advantage on you, trapped in that suit, you got one on me, and my son. Now added to my strength, as the latest member of my unit, and you're never surviving this. As your only weapon is the force lightening, you're too old for sparring, and with said lightsabers. But your body is thoroughly battered and decayed, so what happens if we both go against you and my twin brother, huh, what exactly."
"I know it, you know it, and even better, is the council, Obi-wan and my wife's friends in the loyalist committee know it, but when trapped like that here now. You got one on me, fully human and I got one on you, and add my entire family to it. That's my kids, and you're never going to survive this right no, you think I don't know that you. If you're the master of the one that just tried to kill my father, you went to a rule of two, well you're wrong I do know that."
"But always two there are, no more, no less, a master and apprentice, and bad for you, as these signaled your return to activation. Along with your apprentice jumping into my vision when I created my lightsaber. So two ways to know you're back, before your apprentice revealed himself at the moment." he said, holding up the bag of cherry red crystals and he went white and they all nodded sternly and Mace crossed his arms as he got what he was saying then.
"Rule of two, there was a rule of two, but the prophecy stated now, is the chosen one brings balance, to translate is the peace has been so long there is and needs. Now to be a time war, the Jedi have been in power so long, the Sith will return, as both sides. Now, had nearly wiped each other out till there were only two of each now, but are the Grey Jedi. Your target, or is it just us, as in the Jedi council, no council and you win, as they know me better then anyone."
"But my brother is going to be the one to do it, not me, I'm a Jedi to the end." he said and Mace nodded as he got it then. "But I guess the plan, eliminate the one that had the power to keep me a Jedi, till the time is right then drag up some Sith legend. To entice by thoughts of saving my family, I have to choose, stay a Jedi and let the vision play out. Or do something about it, and it destroys everything I ever set out to accomplish, but nice try, Father is alive here."
"Father is alive, I stay a Jedi, and you have to choose a new applicant." he said and his eyes landed on a bulge in his robes. "Oh, what do we have here, excuse me, my Lord, but you left yourself exposed." he said as he felt a giant pulse of icy coldness, coming from a bulge in his robes and he mentally yanked a long cylinder, a foot long with a red button. As he pointed it away from his face, turned it on and a red flash shot out of the polished disk at that response.
And the Jedi all jerked in shock at that. "Talk about evidence right now, red crystals, red lightsabers, I foresee 3 possibilities: you're a dark Jedi. A Sith or you're the leader of the human nightbrothers, and you're pretending to be a politician." Obi-wan said sternly and he started shaking, realizing he should never have brought the lightsaber with him. This child's foresight was too good to see him for what he was then an adult Jedi, and the council all knew it.
"Red laser, well that defeats the purpose, I'm a Jedi, I will never turn, you say I can trust you, but this color blade contradicts that remark. Where did you get this from exactly, as only Dark Jedi, Nightbrothers and Sisters, or Sith, carry this color." he said and turned it off as he gave it to Obi-wan and he mentally crushed the crystal at that. "It's not mine!" Palpatine said quickly and Anakin crossed his arms. "Where you get it from then?" he said and he swallowed hard.
"You either are a Dark Jedi, Sith associated, or you are the Sith himself, the mentor of the one that just tried to kill my father. But if you are, you just been made, my lord, you lost, you lost this, before you even met me, you lost this war. And before you could put your plan into place where that plan depends on me taking what you offered. And after offering a hand in friendship, but I'm sorry my lord, my mother said anyone interested in my power, is off limits here now."
"She knows the Jedi, after meeting Father, but she doesn't know you, so off limits, from this point forward, stay away from me." he said sternly to him then. "Whoa, Annie, don't over do it." they heard and Mace locked gazes with Dack Panaka and he nodded. 'Close call, he's venting the level of anger at whoever sent that Zabrak after you and nearly killed both Qui-Gon and the queen.' he said and they nodded as Sio Bibble crossed his arms at that and the queen nodded.
"So that's what it means, we practically wiped them out, and now it's their turn, the translation could mean there was anyway to do it, but for him now. He can make an alteration as all, but three go Grey Jedi, and leaving only 2 or 3 on both sides, and we've been in a peaceful period so long the balance is out of whack, and the next however many years of war put it back into balance." Adi said to Yoda and he nodded as Damon crossed his arms at the remark sternly.
"Nice way to translate cub, we needed that intel." Ki said to that and Mace nodded in agreement to that. "More insight then we were expecting, but he's better then both Grandmasters were expecting to know and translate what it really means now at that." Kit said in response as she nodded. "He is the chosen one, but what is that supposed to mean, chosen for what, aside from destroying them, what is this, what is he meant to do?" Soara asked and they heard it then.
"I suppose you never considered this right now, well let me elaborate, if my other counselor's padawan now considered this a Jedi dynasty, but I get an appointment to the council. Then my chair on the council becomes my throne, when I retire, I pass my chair to my oldest son. Who then passes it to his and so on." he said and Yoda nodded to the translation. "What it also means is I become the first ever to go to, come back and live to tell about it and train others."
"I don't suppose you considered that the term chosen one now, means something else, I could be meant for something else, as say in addition. To the second in command of the council he, that's the grandmaster, had his own right hand here in his other second in command, said is to be the youngest. Now of the council and said is meant to train other Jedi turned and back again, in addition, to being the one that in time becomes a member of the council permanently."
"My lord, say my family is meant to be the ones to bring balance to the force, change the code, and most of all is the start of a Jedi Dynasty, my bloodline. Is the strongest in the order, as the years go by, the male heir is now the one who gets my chair on the council, before passing it to his own son. Who passes it to his own and a Skywalker is forever a member of the Jedi council in the decades and centuries ahead now?" he asked and they watched him pale further at that.
"Yeah okay, thank you for elaborating that." Winna said with a bemused smile and Mace hid a chuckle at the remark. "Cubs, well cub clearly knows what we're thinking to answer any and all questions, we need on what the prophecy is really trying to tell us here. But something still doesn't make sense, what's the image on what the Keganites told me and Qui'?" Adi said, before they got the answer to that question from her cub padawan as Yoda shook his head smiling.
"What the future holds could be something that either prophecized or worse right now, was self full-filling prophecy, but the army of whatever dressed color armor there is. Lead by a character cloaked in black carrying a red lightsaber, up against a group of freedom fighters. Lead by a brother/sister duo, the girl's husband and his friends, a duo of droids. That's the future brought about by the so called downfall of the Jedi and the Old republic, and the army's commander."
"That could be you my lord, as your features were distorted by force lightning, you are the Sithmaster and leader of the dictatorship my children and others hate now." he said and Yoda and Adi nodded. "There we go, that answers it, all of it now, could be the phantom menace, the elusive evil that Obi-wan mentioned, he could be now. And been standing in front of us, all this time, he has now, again, thank you for translating Qui-Gon and Adi's concerns for us, Padawan."
"But correct you are, Qui-Gon, studied that power he did, give it to you safely, we will." Yoda said gently to that. "Okay, okay, so we put him on the council, that becomes his throne, and when the time comes to retire, so he can go back to teaching. He passes it to his first born son, who, once he retires, passes it to his own and it goes down the bloodline. As well as he becomes the first ever to go to, come back and live to tell about it, the knowledge of the ages now."
"Yeah that's enough to scare the force out of him, a Skywalker is on the council, but the Skywalkers are the strongest family we have in the Jedi order now, Master." Kit said and Adi nodded. "Jedi Dynasty, meaning in that alleged other time-line, we put him on the council, his chair and appointment to the council now there. Could be seen as monarchy, and the first born son in the family name gets the chair next followed by the next Skywalker right now, okay."
"That makes plenty of sense, he's the youngest of the council, after 40 years, he passes his chair to his son, and who then passes it to his own now here. That we always had a Skywalker on the council from the time of the whatever happened for the next few hundred years." Adi said to Yoda and he nodded. "Right hand to the grandmaster, he is, the Skywalker bloodline is meant to be now." Yoda said and Mace and Adi both nodded in amazement to that news then.
"There it is, I'm 46, 13 years and I'm 59, and I've got another 24 years, before I retire and he takes my place as your second in command as you also retire. As a Jedi master, said it yourself, for 800 to 900 years you've trained Jedi, but time to retire now. And you pass leadership of the council to me, and he's my right hand as you're retired as the grandmaster. I take your place and he's in mine now, as second in command." he said and Yoda nodded in amazement to that.
"Like Qui-Gon and the queen, her crew and bodyguard, got to know him, and love him we do, our star pupil, first born child. And in out of temple raised, that no wrong in our eyes, he could do now." Yaddle said smiling and Yoda nodded gently then. "Indeed and want my padawan Sith, then through me you will go starting now." he said sternly as he looked at his student with love in his eyes then and Anakin nodded gently to him then as he went further then to Palpatine.
"But why, why should I want to rush training, I spent all my life at their sides, but mentally I know I'm ready for the trials, but emotionally, still a cub. I'm not ready to let go, I don't just want to leave my mentor, not yet, but why, why would want to grow up. When all that brings is pain and suffering, enjoy being a cub and a padawan while it last right now. But what you would have offered, is in their hands, so try all you want, I belong to them." he said and Yoda smiled.
As Obi-wan ran his hand through Anakin's hair and he leaned his head against his side gently at that in response as Mace hid a smile then. "Yeah, in one change we got to him first and he is completely comfortable with us, but that's what Thracia and I would tell him. Why would you even want to grow up so fast as that just brings more pain and heart break. Enjoy training and being a padawan, or a cub now, while it lasts, there we go he made my point perfectly."
"We and Qui' over did it right now, but I think we trained him a little too well now." Mace said with a chuckle and Yoda nodded with an amused smile at his opinion then at his remark. "Yeah he's been listening to us and Thracia way too much lately." Damon said smiling gently to that remark then. "But the people that raised me, trained me, taught me everything in my life that is worth knowing, you think I would ever leave them, that fast right now."
"Guess again, I made my choice and that choice is the council, father, mother, Siri and Obi-wan now, so you failed, everything you would try to fill my head with. It won't work, not when I know there is only one thing I have that gives me a reason to change back. And that is my family, but my family is your biggest enemy, to you, the big victory, is having a padawan as strong as I am turn to the darkside and become your apprentice."
"But with you in 32 to 36 years right now, the only weapon you have left is the force lightning, the council, and Obi-wan are too old to fight it out with you. So who does that leave as my powers are stronger then both of you together." he said and Yoda nodded. "That leaves the only member of us right now not over 50, the Skywalker Clan." Mace said sternly and Adi and the duo nodded in agreement as the quartet crossed their arms.
"But sure, though I didn't take lightsaber training, not yet, but in all truth that doesn't matter, just one nudge from my parental mentors and already. Now, I'm this powerful here, but the door just slammed shut, I'm a Jedi, like my father, before me. Take a shot with that force lightning at me, I dare you." he said sternly and they saw Palpatine shaking in fear. "He does and we got him now." Adi said to Mace and he nodded sternly.
"Want to play your card too soon, don't try bluffing to high up or you lose your money, and you did by that remark you said to me. But before I met you for real, the window just slammed shut, the council and Master Yoda got to me first. And hear I am now, not afraid of my powers and I now have my true color, I'm a cub version of Master Windu. But every generation in my partner pair up is a master guardian, I'm one of them."
"You failed my lord, before you could even attempt this, I connected to the council and my unit and slammed the door shut. The window between whether an out of temple raised padawan chooses either side: good or evil, the window just closed. I'm one of them now." he said as he turned it off and hooked it to his belt. "But father, mother, Master Windu, Masters Damon and Tiana, Obi-wan, Siri, Ry and Soara, Lana."
"I got a sister three years older, my Jedi mother and father and brother and sister, family of 6 in immediate Jedi family, and the extended is 7 members. And I love them, they're my family, so you think that the 7 won't protect me from you. Starting now as father is recovering, hmm, you really thinking they won't, you think the link was formed. Well it did, my brother is Jedi Kenobi, my sister, Jedi Tachi." he said and he swallowed hard.
"This is a training lightsaber, my lord, so where's your's hmm, is the one I took from you the only one, the anger in your eyes, you don't see what I do, but your eyes are flashing with a yellow light right now." he said and Mace's eyes narrowed as he looked at that as he saw the brown lighten to a very light brown that matched Damon's robes. "Good catch there baby, pull it you're finished." Siri said sternly at that. "He's furious here." Adi said to Mace and he nodded.
"Well that's one way to do it, by antagonizing him right now." Mace said as he crossed his arms then, as Yoda gently nudged him mentally and they felt a strong pulse of love answer the nudge and they smiled at that as he said it gently to him then. 'He's too late Master, you're my mentor I love you guys, just a few days the connection slammed shut. He's too late, you win, you gave me what I needed.' they heard softly and the group smiled gently.
And at that response. "I never have to change as one of the lucky ones is my father is the Jedi master that trained in said skill you would have offered me. So I have no need to trust you right now, or believe anything you say to me, but Father is alive. I have what I need, and I'm secured firmly in the lightside now, so to the Jedi it's a win/win now. The group that arrived are my team quartet, my family." he said, dropping the bomb then.
And he paled at that as he looked up and saw Mace with his eyes on him sternly at that remark. 'Nice work baby, you're doing great right now, just control your temper, it's okay.' Winna thought to him gently as she felt a gentle pulse in response as he looked into her eyes and he smiled at her then. "But the bad first impression gave way to a very good second impression and instead of hiding anything, I told them everything now."
"That they need to manage with me being their first out of the temple born padawan, as I get lessons they don't teach till one on one starts. But what just a single mental conversation causes, but just say you delay me and from my helping my mother. You thinking they won't feel the power blast from 10 planets over and know something. Now happened for them to even feel that right now?" he asked and they saw him go white.
"But that mind to mind link slammed the door shut, I connected to the council and the rest of my team quartet. Master Yoda got to me first, before you could interfere, but I'm his padawan, so you got a fight on your hands no matter what you do." he said and Yoda and Mace nodded in agreement to that. "Indeed, got to Anakin first I did, before interfere you can Chancellor, he is my padawan, love him I do." he said sternly with a smile then.
"Talk about a total role reversal, if this was reversed that blown interview left the bad first impression in place as we didn't know what to make of him. But now that he actually called out to us, the tables have turned." Mace said and Adi, Damon and Tiana nodded then, as he looked at them smiling. "Yeah bad first impression, now very good second and we all love him as well, he wants him, he's going though us starting now, guys."
"But really who is he kidding, we just gave him what he needed, he's never going to turn on us now." Tiana said and Mace and Damon nodded in agreement then as Obi-wan left his hand on Anakin's shoulder and with a protective and gentle smile in his own eyes. "Baby come on, I get you're frustrated, but that's like poking a krayt dragon when he's asleep, tone it down, before you get barbecued." Padme's pilot said gently at that then.
