14. The Final Showdown And Lightsabers IV

The Salvation Of The Chosen One

Warnings: This story is going several weeks back to my previous Revenge of the Sith story, taking place directly after he and Obi-wan get back. It's also going to involve having his adult memories, Obi-wan and Yoda's souls shooting back to that day. So this will be insuring Palpatine is never going to win this, as the twins arrive. And they see their parents for real as young adults, insuring their adult memories are strong.

With this chapter is the start of things after their exchange, only Anakin is playing his alter ego, when he goes to Palpatine. And when at the temple or with Padme he's himself, so dressed as Luke's appearance at 19. He's Anakin, dressed in the flight-suit, he's Vader, as he's allowing Palpatine to twist his mind. As Anakin, he's resisting and working with Qui-Gon and waiting till Palpatine reveals himself….

Disclaimers: Starwars doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, the characters and everything else belongs to George Lucas and the movie companies.

Chapter 14: Lightsaber Forms, Missions And Past Truths

"But there are 7 lightsaber forms." Anakin said and they nodded. "Eight." Tru said and the twins nodded. "Right thank you, there are 8 lightsabers forms to choose from, now Form I: Shii-Cho is the oldest known form of lightsaber combat. It was a simplistic style that balanced traditional maneuvers intent on maiming and killing. With a focus on disarming an armed foe and was used against multiple opponents, it's also was a popular form among Padawans in the Jedi Order.

"The next is Form II: Makashi: A style regarded for its elegance, graceful presentation, and balletic approach in wielding a lightsaber. It was notable for its primary focus on facing a single opponent, preventing disarmament, and quick, very precise strikes. Form III: Soresu A defensive style that utilized tight, controlled movements and strict economy of action. Practioners of this form focused on defense entirely in any situation and committed here now."

"And to analyzing their opponents and openings created, often from the frustration and fatigue of the enemy, while not succumbing to fatigue or making mistakes themselves. It remained popular even during the creation of other lightsaber forms. Form IV: Ataru is an acrobatic and aggressive lightsaber combat style that placed greater emphasis on using the Force. To enhance movements in all areas of combat and required great room to attack from all directions."

"Due to its nature, it was considered a demanding fighting style both physically and through the Force. Form V: Shien/Djem So. That's my form now twins, with this one is there is two fluid disciplines of lightsaber combat, which were considered physically demanding. In styles due to their requirement of quick transitions from dedicated defensive stances to all-out attack. The Shien variant of my form is emphasized blaster redirection, and practitioners when using it.

"They could utilize a reverse blade grip, the Djem So variant taught users maneuvers for saber-to-saber combat and blaster deflection. Form VI: Niman. Considered the most popular lightsaber combat form in the Jedi Order. it balanced the qualities presented in all the other forms but did not incorporate any notable strengths. Less demanding than all the other previous combat styles, its approach was a careful balance between offense and defense but leaned towards

"In truth here the latter and extensive integration of Force powers. Form VII: Juyo/Vaapad. Considered the most aggressive and unpredictable disciplines and therefore the most controversial, it was a style with a history. When in the Jedi High Council forbidding it and later allowing only select users to practice the disciplines. It was a style considered both physically and emotionally exhausting." he said and they nodded. "Why exactly?" Leia asked him gently.

"The Juyo variant, in Mace's hands, is focused on aggressive assault and a mindset that drew upon anger and negative emotions to fuel relentless assault. This mindset caused many users to fall to the dark side of the Force or close to it, but not entirely now. The Vaapad variant, developed by Master Mace Windu, similarly drew upon anger and passion. But required the user to not give into them, by that I mean anger and hate, you can use them and throw it into it."

"But you fully give into it, it can do more damage then necessary, but this style is characterized by rapid, frenzied strikes and powerful blows. However, it was not as reckless in nature as Juyo, the last form is form VIII: Jar'Kai: The method of using two lightsabers during combat, be they single blades or double blades altogether. Variants of Jar'Kai included utilizing more than two single-bladed or double-bladed lightsabers at the same time, depending on the physiological."

"My variant of Djem So does the same thing, but I'm a Master Guardian, I can channel my anger and hate into the blade without crossing the line entirely. Andy, well let's just he does only Djem So, but Djem So fighting a Djem So, the style is so even. That no one can get a way into cut you down, but allowing the Darkside to control your actions. I'm saying this, the darkside is not stronger, the power of love and friendship is your only way out." he said and Luke nodded then.

"But starting you at 19, takes time, a lot of time, to unlearn your current beliefs, so start you from 4 and it's growing up, knowing it's do or do not, there is no try now. In 4 years, since Obi-wan started you off, you grown beyond powerful, but that, our match now. In front of Sidious, was your trial by lava, as you come down from the power burst now. That the Darkside gave you, it's intoxicating, one taste, you want more." he said and Luke nodded in understanding.

"Being the first to go to, come back and live to tell about it, there's much to tell you guys, so learn from me and when you have your own children, you won't be so afraid." he said and the twins and Han nodded gently. "Like we would later tell the kid, I may not know much, but what the two of us do know, that what he's saying sounds. Now, suspiciously like the effects of the darkside, let go of his anger, it's his only chance." Lando said for both of them gently then.

"Of technological capabilities of the combatant, which was the case with the Zabrak that put your grandfather into an MIC, but the crystals, are these." he said pulling out 7 crystals and they nodded gently. "Ahsoka." Mace said and he nodded. "Ahsoka you read me, my padawan?" he asked and a young togruta appeared. "Yes Skyguy, I hear you, what's going on." she said and he smiled. "I figured things out, Sidious is the chancellor." he said and she nodded.

"Ahsoka stay away from the temple here, till further notice, but meet the Alderaanian fleet on Polis Massa, after you arrest the Zabrak, because my twin just did a lot of damage." he said and she nodded to the orders. "Ahsoka, I'm married to Senator Amidala, we're expecting twins." he said and she nodded smiling. "I take it the entire order knows now, if they're surrounding you right now?" She asked and he nodded with a smile then gently at that.

"Yeah they do, both sides do, they don't mind at all, but I'm finishing up with you, before I start my son, my daughter goes to Master Olin." he said and she nodded. "Got it Skyguy, see you in a few weeks, be careful Master, I love you." she said and he smiled. "Love you too padawan, may the force be with you." he said and they ended the call. "There's the one remark we all think we never could say before, till now." Mace said smiling as Qui-Gon nodded at that.

"So first her, then me and then…." Luke started to say and he nodded. "Your baby brother's best friend Kyp." he said and Luke nodded gently to the news then. "The Master Guardians are the just returned from the darkside students, but your brother suffered a trauma. But these weapons get more dangerous every year." he said and Mace nodded in agreement. "You and Cub are 12 years apart here, but with the trust and love of friends and family, you'll make a full."

"In recovery baby, just give it time, Kyp is a Guardian, your brother is a Sentinel, baby Leia is a shooting star." he said and they smiled as she looked down then, before they could answer, 3 preteens appeared and they nodded. "Jeesh, Luke he looks just like you, and his best friend looks like Master Durron." Lando said and he nodded. "Shmi, A.J., Kyp?" Anakin asked and the trio nodded smiling. "Dad!" the twins said and he hugged them tightly at that response then.

"Hey dad." Kyp Durron said and Darian smiled as he hugged his 12 year old son. "Exactly 28 years, it's, by this guess, we just came from Dathomir, the Nightsisters are at it again, dad." Anakin Skywalker Junior said and he nodded gently. "Well I was right, Luke's supposed girlfriend just married the Hapes Heir, directly after I presented you to Han, baby." he said and Leia nodded gently to that. "We expecting anyone else, cubs?" Damon asked with a bemused smile.

"Wait a minute here, you guys are 11, during our stay on Hoth." Luke said and he nodded then gently. "Damn it, alright, Han, Lando protect my younger twins, Leia and their mother, you and Chewbacca, get them to the rendezvous point, if they're chasing you around. Wait till you see the coast is clear, and head for Yavin, before jumping ship to Sullust. I'm taking Luke to Dagobah, for his Jedi trial initiations here now." Anakin said and they and Lando nodded then.

"We're 8 years old during the Battle Of Yavin daddy." Shmi said and he nodded. "Make that 9, we're 19, 3 years later 22, another year after that 23, you're 11 years young baby sister. You're 12 now, as a result here, you're junior padawans, getting ready to be chosen. And dad has been training you the last 3 years, since the family got back together. But the force is strong in our family, he has it, we have it and you have it." Luke said smiling and she nodded smiling gently.

"Just us, unless Master Dantallion sends our niece and nephews next, Uncle Damon." Shmi Padme Skywalker said and he nodded as he and Qui-Gon exchanged bemused smiles at this scenario. "This is one for the record books, but this is getting ridiculous, Tahl, enough already love, I know you're trying to make a point, but going about it like this. This is going too far honey." Qui-Gon said smiling and as Leia leaned into Han then gently at that with a smile then.

"Nice to be back home again, the temple back to the way it was in it's prime." Shmi added gently and they smiled. "The Force gave you another 70 years year, but it gets you up to the Solos 30's in her unborn twins and their age group. Truth finally crashed and burned, after making the same decision you did on dad." A.J. said and the council nodded sternly. "We may have to take him alive, his ego is a dangerous thing." Han said sternly and Leia nodded to that.

"That's the only option big brother, he's a father and Mara's clone was just killed." A.J. told him and they nodded sternly. "Before thinking I lost my brother next in my version of twins with there being 3 in our family, I never lost you guys true, but I want my version of you back." Leia said and he hugged her tightly. "Remember what dad taught us, Courage, give in, we can't control it, and it's death or worse for us." he said and she pressed her forehead to his gently.

"Oops, Dack, when I come up later to spend some time with the Padme, I'm dressed as Andy, so just leave the camera on. As you see me come in directly after I supposedly leave, as I'm dressed as me, Anakin." he said and they heard an immediately response. "Roger that, see you soon." he said and Mace nodded. "Well that works, when done you head for home after work in training, then a 2 week mission after that." Kit said and Mace and Shaak Tii nodded.

Before she could answer, the council and everyone in hearing range of the conversation now got hit by a force blast and collapsed in the floor then gently. "Mace, Kit, Shaak Tii." Anakin said quickly, crouching next to them and they, Saesee, Cin and Agen looked up at him and smiled gently then. "Anakin, it's alright, Tahl sent us, your us back to now." Mace said and he smiled, as he hugged him then. "Everybody here, council wise?" he asked and he nodded gently.

"Yes we're all here, but not again, we're not losing you again." he said to him then. "Like I said, you gained my trust, but I knew that wasn't you, you never helped him on purpose. He tricked you and Andy swallowed the fish hook, I'm back and now he's going to pay for this now." he said and Anakin nodded, looking down in relief, they never blamed him, he been tricked. And lost everything to save his family and as they finished the job in protecting the twins there now.

"Kids, boys, these are the council of your version, like I said they raised me, but the truth is now, everything they, that's Yoda and Obi-wan told you is all true. From our point of view, and your grandmother got resurrected and sent home, to Tatooine now. But the how, in how Sidious got to me, is based on your visions, pain and dying, I was scared. As I had those very same visions about your grandmother, and made it back too late." he said and Leia nodded then.

"Just before you arrived, my adult self landed in this body, and.." he started to say and looked to the team. "That blast was stronger then normal, if it knocked all of us to the floor, did you, as well?" he asked his team and they smiled. "Us of their version, we can now tell you apart, that was never you, but rather Andy, Anakin." Ferus said smiling and he nodded, smiling. "Then we play that back, what happened and why, before we arrested Zan Arbor." he said and he nodded.

As he switched it on, knowing their past was set aside now. "Guys, did you expect me to not over hear the conversation today or Andy not to. Because this is enough they're going to wonder about the stern tone in my voice. And they did and Obi-wan only had to look at a single fact here in why exactly. He just figured it out in why I laid into you both for that, but I'm with him at the moment, what is that supposed to tell him."

"When he knows I'm studying lightsaber lore, but that your lightsaber is broken Tru, he knows, he told me if we don't come forward and tell the council, then he will." he said and Tru quickly said it to that. "Does he have any evidence?" he asked and Anakin shook his head as he answered him then. 'Alright just admit it, you want to lie your way out of this.' He said out loud then sternly as he said it then to that remark as he answered him then.

"No, but he knows exactly how it happened right now in truth, Tru." he said and Tru sighed in relief as he answered him as he said it. "Obi-wan doesn't know anything, he has theory, so let him tell the council what he thinks happened. They'll ask us: is it true, we'll say no, there's no evidence so there is no case, we'll get off with a reprimand." he said and Anakin looked at him in shock then as he looked between them then in fury.

'What, are you kidding me, after everything he's done for me, Master Qui-Gon, the council, Obi-wan, no, no forget about it, I won't do it.' he said saying it aloud as the entire 9 years together, before it landed on them together hit him. "I can't call Obi-wan a liar." he said and Ferus said it. "Anakin, we have to hang in there a little longer, then this will all be over." he said and Anakin said it slowly to that and Adi nodded in agreement sternly.

"It's wrong you two." he said and Tru said it gently. "Anakin..." he started to say and Anakin said it firmly as Qui-Gon smiled in approval. "I'm going to tell them what happened." he said and Tru said it firmly to that as he crossed his arms. "You, alone, you, are going to decide what happens to you, to me and to Ferus, you're going to tell them." he said and Anakin said it forcefully then as he looked at him then as he felt his heart tearing at this.

"I'm not going to lie them again, Tru, I can't live with it." he said and that did it. "You can't lie to them, you can't live with this, you have to be the one to decide. Who the heck are you exactly?" Tru snapped at him and he looked at him in shock. "Guys..." he started to say and Ferus over rode him then and Soara crossed her arms. "You're going to turn us in." Ferus snapped at him and Anakin said it, as he looked between them sternly.

"Wait a minute, listen to me, I got an idea to get you out of the hotseat here, that this is your only chance right now." he started to say and Ferus snapped at him then. "No you wait a minute!" he snapped back and sighed as he ran his hand through his hair as he said it to him at that remark then. "They got to you, didn't they, Obi-wan, he told you this big speech about duty, truths and honor, well it must have been a pretty good speech."

"Just to make you turn your back on us, us, your friends." he said and Anakin said it sternly to that remark as he looked at him then sternly at that. 'Gods guys, look at your behavior, can't you see right now, Sith home planet. Guys, focus, you're being corrupted by the darkside, Guys fight it, fight it. Don't leave me, 10 years, we can insure we never lose you out of a fatal mistake.' the council and the 8 heard desperately.

"We are Jedi, we have a duty to the truth." he said to him then and Tru said it to him then firmly then in pained betrayal then. "And what about your duty to your friends, I got you on this team, I gave you a chance when there were other padawans, just waiting in line. I told Ferus, you wouldn't let us down, you're on the best team in the temple. You know what it's like, just to trust your partners with your life, I guess I was wrong."

"At the time now." he said and Anakin said it firmly as he looked between them at that and as he said it. "Darn right you are buddy, but again it's not the Jedi way to lie to one's master right now, never lied before, I'm not starting now. But remember Master Guardian, it's tempting to break the rules guys, but once you break the small sooner or later, it's the big." Anakin said and the council and the quartet, both age groups, nodded to the opinion gently at that remark.

"Guys we don't, we're all getting expelled here, I can tell them and you're off the hook, look if we all come forward and tell the council, you could get get off easy." he said and they heard a pained mental tone to this. 'Just admit now, the chance to get into the program is worth too much to give up. Even if it means one of us gets hurt, you're going to lie to them.' they heard softly finishing it and the boy scoffed at that remark then.

"We don't want to come forward Anakin, Ferus and me, we don't have a problem with this, but if you do then resign from the Jedi temple and leave, but don't make us pay for your guilty conscious." he told him and he looked at him in shock. "You'd put the entire team at risk just to save your necks?!" he said in disbelief then in shock to him at the beyond idiotic and un-Jedi like thing to do at that remark and he said it firmly then to him.

"To keep us together, the team, that is more important then you right now. And it's more important then me and if I was in your place I would do so without hesitation, but that's just me." Ferus told him and Anakin nodded. "That part was for us, but I meant, to keep the four of us together, we're trying to stay together, our team. But I'm scared out of my mind, if one of us leaves too soon, one of us could get killed here right at the moment now."

"So Anakin dropped the bomb, for me and you ran that test, Master Windu, but that test was for Andy, not for us, Andy was the traitor, he always right now. That we decided here in a cross and double cross that though Darra survived this, it was close. Any closer, Ferus couldn't take the chance and needed to get his nerves back up to par, before meeting you at Polis Massa." Tru said and the council nodded gently at the reveal. "My best friend." Anakin said and he nodded.

"Guys, guys listen to me, remember what we were taught, remember acceleration, what's that code for, in the darkside. Tru focus already, listen to me, you're saying your alter ego's thoughts, that never mind safety procedures. If the weapon goes in the middle the fire fight so be it, I want to graduate early. And get away from Tiana, Adi, Siri and Ry'!" he asked and they paled, as they exchanged looks at that remark quickly.

"Guys, you never saw your eyes for a second there, they turned gold, don't give in, come back to me. Remember, I'm a Master Guardian, a just returned Sithlord, only I know the dangers, I know what you're thinking. But remember, fear leads to desperation, desperation leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate. That leads to suffering, you're on desperation right now, desperation to hide this now from them."

"It's just a delay, a small delay while we fix this, just resist." he said and they closed their eyes, before opening their eyes and he sighed in relief. "The darkside is faster, easier and more seductive, we're tempted to turn, but this is the Sith home planet!" Tru said quickly at that. "Exactly Tru, I'm trying to save your souls, but more then souls, our friendship, but after 10 years, brothers." he said and looked between them gently then.

As he pulled him into a hug and he tightened his arms around him in response as Anakin closed his eyes in relief. 'Don't leave me brother, don't leave me, we made it this far together, I'm not letting you destroy yourself, just fight it!' they heard and he gently rocked him, before pressing his forehead to his then. "Tru, you are my best friend, we spent going on 11 years with that training lesson they drilled into us now, it was close right now."

"But duty to your friends, you do this, no one will ever let you forget it, as you're expelled from the Jedi Order. Can't give in, I know it's tempting to want to graduate early, but we're not ready yet, still another 7 to 8 years. The Sith are on the planet we know that, but can't risk a fatal mistake, you have to tell the quartet the truth. We just fix what's left to fix and turn it in, before someone a fatal mistake here on this one."

"Ferus, Tru, is this worth destroying our friendship over, after 10 years, we come this far together now, we can finish out, but what if this is all part of the Sith's plan. To destroy us after knocking father into a coma, because frankly, to know. I need to tell them how bad the damage is, but a fast repair job, before we do some real. In surgery on that lightsaber, after we get back now?" he asked and they looked down at that remark.

"That's why I'm scared to report this, but we got 5 lightsabers and mine needs more work done on it." Tru said and Anakin nodded and he rubbed his shoulder and he smiled. "Tru trust me, I created 20, I can spot it, easily, just give me a chance to help. But like we said, it's not the Jedi way to lie to one's master, but way of the apprentice. As we stick together, work as one, honesty to our mentors, so instead of you, I tell the quartet."

"Though I do this, I have to tell him, and then you do it, so they know, this is part of the training. Not the Jedi way, not the Jedi to lie to one's master, guys, we have to tell them, but we can finish out, our team quartet for another 7 to 8 years." he said and they nodded. "Fair enough, we stay together, like I said to Andy, it's not the Jedi way to lie to one's master." Ferus said and he nodded as he answered him with a bemused smile.

"Neither is eaves dropping, but I didn't as I arrived and just told you this, but looks like Andy broke said rule and decided not to say it, let me see it."he said and he gave it to him. "I got it working enough, I thought it was ready." he said and Anakin nodded. "Not yet, it needs more work, but with my building 20 of these, if Andy fixed the flux aperture, why did he never remind you to compensate for the power boost now.

"Now to make sure the repairs will hold up, because he's in trouble." he said and Ferus crossed his 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. And 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 in." he said and Tru nodded and turned it on and heard a droning hum from it then.

As he double checked it then as he heard it carefully. "You check the crystals, that noise says the crystals are cracked without a focusing crystal it could explode or short out?" he asked and they exchanged looks. "No we never dismantled it completely to check, but that could be why it's losing power!" Tru said and he nodded and put in 3 new crystals, as he turned it back on it then, and they heard a gentle humming, saying it liked the new crystals.

"I think it likes the updated color, if it's humming, because your's are blue bordering purple, Annie." Ferus said with a slight smile. "Well there's something I never normally hear from your lightsaber, if you borrowed someone else's focusing crystals." Han said and he nodded with a chuckle. "His lightsaber is happy at his brother lightsaber preventing him from having a blowout, before their owners do serious triage on him." he said and Lando chuckled then.

"That only happens if the Jedi are that tightly bonded, therefore their lightsabers are linked as well, so they're protecting each other." Mace said smiling then and he nodded in understanding. "You guys are that close, that your lightsabers, in needing a fast surgery, were humming, as they recovered from the damage a fight like this did to them?" Leia asked and they and Ferus nodded and she smiled, now seeing everything in how close he was to their team then.

"We just released their quintet from our, parental age, training the month prior, now the next age group down could take over, this was their first mission, and no us." Adi explained to her then and she nodded. "You needed some new crystals huh, friend?" he asked it with it smile as they heard the happy humming and Ferus smiled. "You're welcome, friend." Anakin said in response to the humming gently then and Tru chuckled at that response gently then.

"So that's the follow up, in my case I never got that, with us trapped on Tatooine for the following 8 years, you started us at 11, in senior padawan. In 1 on 1 training, and it was 8 years later, before you decided to step back and allow dad. And Uncle Ferus, to take over in training us, and I was showing everything you wanted?" Luke said and they both nodded. "So new crystals, it also needed new crystals right now." Ferus said smiling and Anakin nodded.

"Well it's our job to protect each other, instead of getting in trouble, I'm helping you finishing the repairs, but we still have to tell the trio. To much exertion, that bandage won't last long on her." he said and Tru nodded in agreement. "Alright to name it off, after he recharged the battery, you changed the crystals, but I think we got them all now." he said and Anakin nodded, as he made sure to double the flux aperture and he smiled in relief.

"Alright cracked crystals, damaged power circuit that just got fixed, power boosted and got adjustment to the flux aperture, that's all of it." he said and Tru nodded gently as he wrote that down."Alright Andy made an adjustment to the flux aperture, I recharged the power cell, and you're reminding me to make an adjustment to the flux aperture. To compensate for the recent boost and you just replaced the crystals for me too."

"That's all of it in repairs jobs on a mission, how's the head exactly, you doing okay?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "Slight headache, but not bad enough I need to stop, I just took some painkiller for that right now, I been thinking here. Of getting back in touch with the Senator, that's Padme, before the old man assigns us to protecting her. As for this, I think we just found the problem: crystals." he said and Tru nodded gently then.

"That's more like it, that says the old crystals were damaged and needed to be replaced, so the blast destroyed the power circuit. I just replaced that and the blast put too much stress on the crystals and cracked them. And it's because there's a line in these, they're close to shattering and you just fixed that." Tru said and he checked the level and saw it hold a steady 85% power and Anakin nodded smiling as he finished that then.

"That should hold it for a bit, but until I finish the repairs, don't over use it, till we get home, and I can fix it completely Tru. But like we both know Andy created a boost in the power cell, but it needs an adjustment to the flux aperture. To compensate for the recharge, the crystals needed to be exchanged and wiring adjusted, guys. But the blast over loaded the circuits like you figured." he said and they both smiled in relief then.

"You're 85% full power, that's plenty till we finish the job, but you finished half the repairs and I did the other half, and once back home we finish it now." he said and Tru nodded gently to him at the news. "Agreed, we can fix this together, after we have Tolan look at it, but why, why did Andy never come forward about this. I'm not liking this one bit, but then you're my best friend here, so of course, you're helping me."

"What we got here exactly, Annie?" Ferus asked and he explained it. "Andy did the power boost, after fixing the aperture, but I think the blast disrupted it. That's the connection between your power cell and the flux aperture. The blast also put enough strain on the crystals they cracked, and needed to be replaced now. I just took care of that and you fixed the wiring, all we got to do is further recharge and adjustment."

"As the blast also damaged the old crystals, I need to switch them out and fix the flux aperture, but otherwise you're good, till I fix it." he said and they nodded, as he finished the repair work and snapped it back together. "Alright you're good, but take it easy on it, till we finish it, as the more in battle and the faster it drains." he said and Tru nodded as he put it on his belt. "Alright tell the trio, what you told me." Ferus said and he nodded.

"Okay, okay, I can tell them and we go from there, but you still have to tell the quartet it could break down." Anakin said and he sighed. "Graduating early is no big deal, we got 8 years left, but frankly, it's a bit lonely on our own, we had each other. On missions as the quartet worked things out, but till you take on a traveling companion. Or padawan, it's a bit lonely till then, so what's the rush." he said and they looked down.

And at that, now realizing they forgot that part. "Oops, yeah you're right, why rush graduating right now exactly we been together so long. That we had each other on missions together: we're best friends, brothers, once graduated. Then we're on our own till we take on a padawan, okay you win right now, but now what?" Ferus asked and he explained that as they went into a triangle line of defense then gently at that.

"Guys, listen to me, unlike their version right now, who was force sensitive, our Xanatos is using a blaster. Our version of him in truth, he's an NFS, he doesn't realize we can switch systems on a blaster. From kill to stun, so if Andy decides to not speak up, we can insure whoever would have been here. In getting shot is only knocked unconscious, not killed." he said and Ferus lifted his head in shock to the news in relief.

"But Master is running a test, I told him, but he's testing Andy, in whether or not he speaks up, but 6 years." he said and they nodded. "Alright, alright, I'll tell him, but we stick it out together, and it goes as he shoots. I'm switching the blaster to maximum stun, she gets knocked unconscious, but she's okay. But Andy's not separating us, not that easily here.." Tru told him and he nodded smiling and they went into a 3-way hug then.

"Andy was the one trouble for holding this back, me we turned it in, and the three of us got off lucky, though the head injury, I been sidelined for 3 months." he said and Leia nodded sternly then. "And do that again, you are in big trouble brother, you scared me one too many times." Soara said and he nodded, as Tru tried to keep from laughing at that. "Keep it going, I want to know what happen before I woke up, son." Lando said and he nodded and reactivated then.

"Brother, Ry', girls we just caught it in time right now, I managed to repair the damage, but we take it slow, Ferus is sending this to you through me though. But that lightsaber needs further surgery done on it, but we got it 85% working capacity." he said and the trio nodded in relief. "I got through to them after whoever sent those books to us right now, managed to pass us a message right now, but it worked right now."

"Duty to the truth snapped through, the team is okay here now, but Master, guys, the blast did some damage to his lightsaber I had to fix, I took care of it. In swapping out his crystals, but there's more work that needs to be done on it here. And I don't have my equipment with me to repair it, but as this is not a real Dark Jedi. He uses a blaster, we can switch settings, maximum stun." he said and the quartet nodded in relief.

"Taking extra precautions here, I told them we can get off easy now, and by having a fool proof plan if his. Now, goes in the middle of the fight, as the four of us are always grouped together. And there are shield traps all over the place, so his goes as he fires, I got mine and block the shot. So though knocked unconscious in whoever of us it is, we never lost anyone now, as our team is intact." he said and they and Soara nodded.

"How bad's the damage if you and Ferus had to do a case of triage?" Ry' asked him and he explained that to him. "The blast fused the circuits, and damaged the crystals, disrupting the connection between the power cell and flux aperture. After replacing the crystals, I took care of the slight boost in the recharge and compensated. And for a second time for the flux aperture, but it's got enough power for one last fight, Ry'."

"Obi-wan, and before we have to do surgery on it next after we get my analysis confirmed by Tolan." he said and he nodded. "But Obi-wan, Andy fixed the flux aperture, before we left, and they finished the recharge. And before I told Tru to adjust the flux aperture, to compensate." he said and the trio exchanged looks. "Odd, why didn't Andy tell him, if he nearly walked in on them to do that?" Soara asked and he nodded gently.

"I'm not entirely sure, but I'm going to find out, if she still goes in battle, and I got to risk that headache getting worse." he said and she nodded. "It starts getting worse I want to know right away, padawan." she said and he nodded. "Darra, let me look at your arm." he said and she exposed her lower arm and he nodded as he did a field dressing and wrapped it. "That gets worse, tell me." he said and she nodded as she hugged him tightly.

"Leader of the team in padawans, overly protective." she said smiling and he smiled and the trio chuckled at that "You're my entire world Darra, what do you expect, one girl out of the five of us, to the guys and me, you're our entire world. Our job to protect you here, but I came up with a foolproof way to head off a more then fatal injury. Omega never gained his father's force abilities, if he carries a blaster, so a fast switch on it."

"In settings and put on high should do it, though if that nailed an artery, and Winna is taking care of your injuries for a couple years, before bringing you out of it. If you're the one that got hit." he said and she nodded as she hugged him. "Well to say this now, you don't have to turn on us to save me and whoever it is. As for all we know your father had the power already, don't change, as the only way I could die is heartbreak."

"Stay yourself Annie, don't change." she said and he nodded as she pressed her forehead to his. "Thank you for the warning though, Annie, we needed to know that." Obi-wan said and he nodded."A fast debate ended with me getting them to tell you, but we got it working enough to prevent another injury. And after the blast bounced or bounces off the lightsaber and goes in the wrong direction, again." he said and he nodded to him.

"Nice thinking and thank you for telling us this, I take it the boys are telling us this through you right now, Annie?" Siri asked and he nodded to her gently. "The 3 of us never lied to you guys before, so why start now exactly, Sis?"he asked her and they smiled in fondness at that. "Indeed and we appreciate the honesty right now, tell them we'll let it go, but we need to hear this from them next, okay." Ry' said and he nodded to request.

"I'll tell them, but the blast broke off a piece of his hilt, and put enough strain on the crystals causing them to crack, I switched out his with 3 of my back ups. So the lightsaber has a faint purplish glow to the blue now, but I need to check it. That's the flux aperture and compensate for the recharge, but I'll finish the repairs. When we get back, but I told him minimum use is best till we get back." he said and they all nodded.

"Thank you for the update." Obi-wan said gently to him. "We decided though chosen, we're not ready to just separate this soon, but I punched through. In what the planet was trying to do to us, but we been together for 10 years, 6 of the 10 as team mates. That why graduate this soon, once a knight it's lonely without someone either age to talk to now, we may have gotten into the program, but no." he said and they smiled then.

"Indeed, remember Thracia and Mace's lecture to you, during Sekot and the Carver, we only get 13 to 14 years together, so enjoy our partnership while it lasts. As soon you don't have us to fall back upon." Obi-wan said and he smiled at him. "Yeah I remember and I just told them that, and they agree, we spent all our teenage lives. As team mates, why let that go." he said and the trio nodded as they ended the conversation.

"Show the final blast, you, after he shot her, you, Tru and Ferus blasted him across the room, and Zan Arbor with him, but the blast triggered the headache from mustafar. In your case, we survived, but one member in MIC and the other suffering graduation jitters, I took over your training and Andy was with Obi-wan." Siri said and he nodded as they did that. "Hey, get away from her." Anakin shouted out and together they force blasted him into the wall hard then.

As Omega collapsed on the floor unconscious, he scanned the hall and then saw Zan Arbor. "Hey!" he shouted as he fired a second blast into her, as the blacked cloaked figure left. And before he could unmask him, as he charged back to the team, knowing Andy was with Obi-wan. As he ran back to her and checked. "I switched settings, he knocked her unconscious girls, Ry', she's okay!" Anakin said quickly to the trio and the trio nodded and in relief.

Before, a massive jolt of pain shot through his head, and he gripped his forehead, as he fell forward. "Anakin?!" Siri said gripping his shoulders. "The force blast in knocking them both unconscious, it took every I had. I opted for letting our Sith go, in favor of her, and undid the mental block out I had for my concussion. It's a trap, attempted arrest, the embrace of pain, our Sithmaster wanted me." he said, shaking and she nodded then.

"Shh, it's okay, it's okay, you did your job, leave us to take care of the rest right now, but we arrested both of them, and they're both going back to jail now. After nearly killing her right now, the team is intact that's all that matters, but you and Darra. You both need medical attention, we're going home right now, Ferus, Tru. You two get him back to the ship, we're going home right now." She said and they nodded then gently.

As they helped him on board, on Ry' carried Darra onto the ship, as they arrested the duo, and locked them into the containment cells. "There we go, alright boys, we do your new updated version to this, your counsel with us, that exchange and with it. In knowing Anakin saved your careers, but Andy still managed to force him out now, Ferus. And the boys were heart broken your trio was dismantled, while Darra was in a coma." Mace said and the trio nodded then.

"Yes alright Anakin you first please we need to hear the truth here, to what happened if Obi-wan double checked her and said she was knocked into a coma here. And, rather then killed by the blaster shot." Adi said and he nodded gently to her. "Knowing Andy heard the conversation between them over his lightsaber needing more work on it. I considered the possibility with us on Korriban, he was going to allow it here now."

"And of a chance early graduation to cloud it his judgement, before a debate broke out between the three of us, and I convinced them we can get off easy. As Tru and I switched settings on the blaster, I told Obi-wan and the trio there was a chance. But the guys and I were taking extra precautions, in case it did go right then. And Tru agreed with my idea, I shoved my lightsaber in place of his as it went right then."

"The blast ricocheted off my lightsaber and struck her, but fortunately the blast was at maximum stun, knocking her out. As my exhaustion and the concussion struck me right then, by luck, I saved all four of us. But I saw a gold glint enter Andy's eyes, a malicious look to them, saying he was hoping. That as a result of the trap, there was no chance of the blaster shot being deflected." he told her and they nodded in amazement.

"I take it that concussion was bad, if Obi-wan said you also collapsed on the girls and Ry'?" Kit asked and he nodded. "Yes it was Master, but to me it was never mind my own health, protecting my team was what mattered. As only by luck did I was prevent the shot from killing her, as the blaster was at maximum stun. As the shrapnel that hit her, I realized, nicked a vein, and we never saw it, before I took care of wrapping it."

"As I saw blood all over her sleeve, wrapping it after tearing a strip off my own tunic, I took care of it and Obi-wan put her into an MIC till we came home. Before the blow to the head caught up with me and I felt like I did after we stepped. That's into the water spring, like Father did after ending up in the water supply system. That you and the trio did, on Belasco." he said to her and she nodded gently as Mace nodded in agreement.

"With us on Korriban, I just realized it, the key Master, but accelerated training, code for the darkside, the darkside is faster, easier, more seductive. We decided to sabotage our acceleration, stay padawans, we stay with our mentors." he said and Yoda smiled in approval. "Passed the test of patience and honesty you have, knowing that this well could be dangerous lead you to the darkside, it could." he said and Anakin nodded.

"How serious was the damage done to his lightsaber?" Mace asked and he explained it. "The blast knocked it right out of his hand, and taking a chip the size of a credit coin off it, but after listening closely to sound it made. I realized the the blast put too much strain on the crystals and cracked them, so I switched them out. And before they recharged it, and I compensated for the power boost by adjusting the flux aperture."

"But the blast disrupted the connection and fusing and we had to make an adjustment, but all in all we got it up 95% full power and use. Before it decided to go right as Omega fired, and I thrust my lightsaber in place of his, blocked the first shot. But the second bounced off my lightsaber and hit her, but thankfully here now. Is we switched settings on his blaster from kill to stun, at maximum." he said and they nodded to him.

"She's going to be fine, but turns out that your thoughts were right, the blast hit an artery in her arm. And rather then a vein, so she's in medical recovery Winna and Minga while heal the damage. It could have been a lot worse if you never made that fast decision, we're proud of you." Kit said and he nodded. "Fast case of strategy, and upstaged him, before arresting Zan Arbor, again, I think that's why she was there."

"She was intending to go back to said experiments with genetics, and combined with Omega, he's playing the part of Ona Nobis here. So preventing it, as Master took him out and I arrested her." he said and they nodded in approval. "So you prevented her from getting her hands on one of the 8 of you by switching settings, if her lab. Now has the only anti-toxin for that neurotoxin she used already?" Adi said and he nodded gently then.

"I was the only one that knew what said neurotoxin was, so if he yanked his blaster, I had to prevent one of us from getting kidnapped, after being poisoned. And for the second time in 22 years and us this far out of reach, she could be dead by the time. We get back, I wasn't having it, making sure that instead gone, whoever was injured. And put into an MIC, before they killed her by anemia, or worse." he said and she nodded.

"That was some very quick thinking to save her life, and by the boys and yourself, Anakin, that was also very wise in telling us beforehand, that you did a repair job. And enough now it could be of use till it caved finally." Mace said gently and he nodded. "Yes Master, we decided though in the program, we want to stick together, Master. And for a while longer now, not ready to let go and separate." he said and the 11 nodded gently.

"We understand and that's fine right now." she said and he nodded. "Master with the crisis over Omega finished finally, and Zan Arbor back in jail now. That, with permission, sooner or later, he's going to decide to have us be her personal protection. With your approval, I think it's time I went to see her, she's a senator now, and we're adults now." he said and the council smiled knowingly at that as Mace answered him gently.

"Alright you can go see her, as she gets used to seeing you like this now." Mace said smiling gently and he bowed to him at that. "Eight months sooner then he expected that by the time we reached what we been together. And who knows how long now, as we got used to this now, but at this age now. It's a constant case of trouble here, and frankly I'm in no rush to graduate." he said and Mace nodded and they ended it at that.

"You think Andy was trying to get Ferus in trouble?" Adi asked and he sighed. "Frankly I'm not sure I even know him anymore Mother, really, for 10 years. Since you trained us, it's when I looked at him now, I saw myself, we were identical. In everything and now, now he's spending 70% of time with the Chancellor. And you can tell us apart, in more then just colors, but the jumpsuit." he said and Mace nodded in understanding then.

"But the day he chooses that choice, in turning on everything we are, what you trained me to be, if something happens to mom. That is the day I lost my biological family, and I'm not only an orphan, but an only child. That if he allows the darkness to warp his mind, I stayed strong, if there's a power to save lives, I use that to save her now. That's what scares me here, what's happening to him, did being around Palpatine."

"But, in truth now, did warp his thinking or was it just going to this planet, I don't know but I always had you and brother. Siri and the duo, keeping me on the straight and narrow, I stayed strong and resisted. Every time, the holocron, to Korriban, or just building my lightsaber and seeing the Zabrak." he said and they nodded gently. "We understand, but till further notice, the decision of acceleration trials is cancelled now."

"If you're not ready to let go of Obi-wan and want to wait a few more years, that's fine, as like I said pushing harder means going too fast, that's dangerous." Mace said and he nodded. "Agreed, but until I'm ready to let go of the safety net, I'm staying at Obi-wan's side." he said and they nodded."Very well Padawan Skywalker, until you are ready to let go, you shall remain at Obi-wan's side." Adi said and he bowed gently then.

"Brother you never have to worry, though married, I'm still your baby brother, that will never change." Anakin said and he looked down with a smile as he felt his remark warm his heart. "I love you too Annie, you are my brother, I love you, the loyalty to me, you seeing what changed me and fixing it, you remember what Master said. You proved it, and that said partnership, team loyalty more then anything." he said and Anakin nodded.

"I'll be right out soon, brother, I have to talk to the council, but if you want to stay at my side that's fine, I don't mind at all, a while longer is fine, until you're ready to let go." he said and Anakin nodded. "You may go Anakin, and thank you for your report, take your time and we can do you three one by one, but send your twin in please. I'd like to hear here what he has to say here." Yarael said and he nodded as he bowed to him then.
