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…
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 4: Final Showdown Truths, Preparations And Counter Strikes
"But unknowingly or not, these two basically just helped my downward spiral along, until last night, Palpatine forced me to kill a helpless victim, after coming to. Out of my version of Vaapad, and I told him, I couldn't, I wouldn't and he forced my hand." he said and they all nodded gently. "Holding this in ever since Shmi's loss, have you?" Yoda said and he nodded to him. "I have Master, I just can't help but think, if not for Darra…" he said and they nodded then sternly.
"You wouldn't be this close to taking what Sidious has to offer, but too late, we gave it to you already, you're still in mourning. But first Qui-Gon than Yaddle, Darra, Shmi and all your real friends in your clan, the girls and Ry." Obi-wan said and he nodded and Obi-wan nodded gently to him then. "Tiana, can you grab Damon and Tru and come to the council chambers, we wish to run a re-trial, and bring Winna and Minga with you." Mace said as he pressed the call button.
"Master I think more then anything, Adi, Mace, Siri, Father and I are all Grey Jedi, not light or dark, but right there in the middle. We all got light and dark in us, but the part we choose to act on is most important, that's who we truly are. And why I'm the strongest of the Jedi Order's Grey Jedi." he said and Yoda nodded. "Could be right you are and if so, can mix the codes together, but tradition, graduate at late 20's, but new, team trios." he said and Anakin nodded.
"Well I grew up in said corruption to see it, there's a lot of corrupted people out there, based on what Padme told me, the bureaucrats are beyond corrupted. And on the payroll of the Federation, but a lot of good people know what credits trigger. Credits makes you crazy, turning you into creatures without heart here, which would be why my son-in-law. In truth, got out of the smuggling business, they're bounty hunters in business." he said and Mace nodded sternly.
"That I understand, but graduating early, is like being paid sum amount for whatever, it makes you crazy, making you forget the most important thing. And said is what will we think when they betrayed a friend, for sum number in credits or tried to implicate said friend in a crime like this. And if your son in law thinks like we do, he has a version of himself in Jedi form, only instead of purple, he could be like Adi, an orange." he said and Anakin smiled and Shaak Tii chuckled then.
"Never paying attention to said fact, after Sekot, we had that talk in another version to it, but 12 in a 23 year old body now." he said and Mace chuckled and nodded. "But you changed so much I see the you I remember as a youngling, the you I raised that soon enough it's time. But I meant it, don't listen to the Chancellor, we have that power, we always did now. Your father studied it and had a pamphlet for it, we'll give it to you after session is over." he said and Anakin nodded.
"I think I understand why we couldn't save mom or Father now, but the delay in fighting these characters or just protecting Padme now, made sure the damage was irreversible. It can work, but waiting too long after, there damage is permanent." he said and Mace leaned forward. "Like the delay on getting to Tahl, the repeated effects of the drug for that long, the damage is done. Is permanent." he said and Anakin nodded. "Immediately will save her." he said and he nodded.
"So my putting a fast force heal on you, on her, that's Padme, saves your life after what Andy just did to you, both of you, I leave him for dead, and bring you. Both of you, to Bail's medical facility, I save both of you, and the twins and we're okay now. I never lost my family, but you are my family, everything matters to me is with you, but your idea. Said is the best I ever heard of, so we fake the purge, a high sedative, putting everyone here in suspended animation now."
"And once we're sure they fell for it, everyone goes Grey Jedi, and leaving only us and Master left, as the true Jedi." he said and Yoda nodded in agreement. "Indeed now, do that we shall, as start stripping the Temple of our texts and equipment, but stay with you. I shall and train the twins till 12 they are, as baby twins, if have a second, you do, get your version of training. But their due date is, after clone myself I will, be 28 years old." he said and Anakin nodded smiling.
"What do you propose to do here?" Mace asked and he nodded. "We pretend to over throw the Republic, and, as me, I will tell all clones maximum stun. For the Jedi in the field, wait for him to think he got all of you, and then switch colors to Grey Jedi. Obi-wan, Master and I stay real Jedi, so his next mission is to wherever that put Andy in that suit now. And everyone move to the rendevous point, all Jedi council Masters, meet us on Polis Massa." he said and they all nodded.
"Andy's reaction in the council meeting tomorrow, as my mentor is a council member, while Andy was glad to be his own man, I stayed at your side, brother. But Andy now, never understood what the prophecy meant, but I do now in truth. The danger of the past is not past, but sleeps in an egg, when the egg cracks, it will threaten the galaxy entire. When the Force itself sickens, past and future must split and combine together."
"And by trust and love, friendship, a Chosen One shall come, born of the force, and through him will ultimately bring balance. Back into the world, peace be restored by destroying that which holds evil to life.'. If you decoded that more correctly, it matches the description that our parental mentors gave you. And the prophecy is about my children's future, the family of the chosen one will destroy the Sith and bring balance." he said and Mace nodded.
"Okay so we understand what it means now, Andy finished the prophecy on one side of it, and you finished things on the other. The war brought the force back into balance, along with everyone, but you, Master Yoda and your brother going Grey Jedi. Making the sides completely even, if the Zabrak is still alive right now at the moment. Then in 23 years time, after my age group is too old to fight, you finish what we started, in killing him." he said and Anakin nodded.
As they waited and then the door opened and his ex team mate came in with his former master and her counterpart. "You wanted to see us Mace?" Jedi Master Damon Calrissian asked and he crossed his arms. "What you do to your hair?!" his counterpart said in shock and he crossed his arms. "I withdrew my promotion to being a knight, and took my place back at Obi-wan's side, like you said, I'm with Obi-wan, then I'm with the council." he said and he started shaking then.
"Why would you do that, we're Jedi knights now!" he said shaking, realizing the other boy wanted to be a padawan again. "I resigned being a Knight, because currently the big reason is I'm an expecting father, to the council. My current situation is becoming way too dangerous, but we graduated too young, I decided to resign being a knight and return to padawan. But really right now Tru, the situation in the senate is why our code is being screwed around with."
"But strength over fear, peace over anger, honor over hate, affection, but peace, ignorance, but knowledge, passion, but serenity, Chaos, but harmony. Death, but the force. Being a Jedi is not just about power, or lightsabers, or even skill with the Force. It is about connection, being part of something bigger, I am stronger as part of the Jedi Order than I could ever be alone. When I became a Jedi I swore a commitment, not to the order itself, but to my partnership here."
"Rather then leaving Obi-wan, I chose to return to his side, he took me back, we got another 5 years together right now. War's coming to an end Tru, so why not return to padawan, you are still her padawan with Ry' gone." he said and he flinched at that. "Once the war ends, but our Sith is attempting to wipe us out, and instead of death we all went Grey Jedi. As soon as the purge comes to an end, both of them, we're returning after my kids first victory against now."
"His dictatorship, but this war was a Jedi trap, by just fighting it we are being wiped out, one by one, and our quartet was destroyed, no need to think twice. But we can return to who we are again, being peacekeepers, but instead of standard trio in colors. We join the Grey Jedi, and we're safely undercover, while being peacekeepers again finally with it. But the code dictated two of one kind, one of the other, if Father was still alive it's us and Obi-wan, Ry' you and Tiana."
"The Girls, them and Damon, and Ferus, Adi and Siri, our team trios were intact, why should we want graduation so soon after getting picked, me. I'd rather stay at Father's side till I'm 28, Obi-wan with him, so what's this say to Tiana and Damon. You're happy with being a knight, you don't want to return to being a padawan, and your brother is dead?" he asked and the other boy flinched at that remark and the two Jedi masters crossed their arms and Mace nodded sternly.
"The girls are dead, Ferus left, Father is dead and the Gallia/Tachi team are extinct, this war is doing nothing, but destroying good friends. So why fight at all exactly, we're keepers of the peace, not soldiers." he said and the adult trio all smiled gently. "Indeed, if this war leads to another one, certain people must understand there are not enough of us. In order to keep the peace, we are keepers of the peace, not soldiers." Mace said proudly and Tru Veld flinched then.
"We lost a lot of good friends in this war, so how is Cin going to take such a massacre if there is one, but my planning carefully laid out. But my previous look is my twin brother, this is me, Padawan Annie Skywalker to everyone over the age of 40 now. I still go by my nickname, while the younglings call me this, baby siblings to big brother now. But guys stand by, I need to run a lightsaber status." he said and they nodded as he switched on his lightsaber and it went blue.
And with a purplish tinge to it and Mace smiled. "You made the conversion finally, you're a master guardian, Annie." he said and Anakin nodded gently. "I'm checking my back up at my apartment, it turns red, and you know Andy is sneaking around to see her. Behind my back Obi-wan, you tend to go see her to check on her from time to time, only this time. That made it even more imperative, she's close, a shock like this…." he said and Obi-wan nodded sternly.
"You never broke her heart, everything is fine, you're just in recovery from the fight now, we just clone him, lock him up in your personality and be done with it." he said and Yoda nodded in agreement. "Indeed, fine everything is, just clone him we will and lock him up in your personality we do and be done with it. Win one/lose one, the order not extinct we are, and return we will in 23 years time." he said and the rest of the council nodded smiling then gently.
"Got it, so Annie, the purplish blue tinge is you, Andy is the red lightsaber, your vision quest, when we gave you permission to create your lightsaber, okay got it." Jedi Master, Healer, Winna D'Uni said and he nodded. "She's 7 months pregnant, my furlough 8 months ago, Winna, I got back in time to get this bombshell, I had to tell you guys soon. So rather then you finding out by accident, who the father is, and vice versa, you know in advance." he said and they nodded.
"We understand and that's fine, we can let that go, so you eloped with the baby's mother, whoever it is, to protect her. Though if it's who I'm thinking, then you're protecting her from Gunray after a pulling a double shift that month." Damon said and he nodded. "It is, Damon, I think rather then 1 or 2, I'm having a both, twins, a boy and girl. But, fast shot mentally 22 years into the future, I saw my baby as 22 year old as a result, I resign my position now."
"But this is Obi-wan's leaving for Melida/Daan all over again, and you remember the rant that Siri gave him." he said and they nodded. "We were listening to the entire argument in the hall, only you never left the Jedi, or turned your back on your commitment. If this happened twice, and your father was still alive, you knew you wanted to come home. But you were ordered to stay, that lets you off the hook, you're a Jedi to the end, you wanted to come home now."
"We stabilized your scales, and you're a padawan again, but one last mission then time to come home, before you get hit with the news you got to stay. As you tell us, through your father, you wish for probation, you can lose a visit or 2 to see your mother. But for right now, we need to deepen our bond, that's being a Jedi, way of the apprentice now. You're constantly showing the others what it means to be a padawan, by honesty, honesty, your commitment to us now."
"Us and your team, your sincerity to us just says it all now, and we trust you with our lives, like you trust us, with your personal life. That was the last test, now the entire Jedi order knows that you're an expecting father." Ki said and Mace nodded in agreement. "But as I said, break our trust, the bond shatters, it takes time to fix it, and even then it will never be the same again." Mace said and the boy paled, never once considering that and his mentor said it sternly to him.
"And I'm yanking back your knight status, with your brother dead, you are not ready yet for full knight status, not after that censure, you are a padawan, Tru." she said sternly and he flinched at the reminder then. "So Anakin, you resigned from being a knight?" she asked and he nodded gently, before said book landed on the floor. "The First Duty, oh good grief, this is my double, he nearly went along with it, before he came forward, they lost one of their team, his leader."
"Was expelled, and he, a humanoid cadet and her counterpart, fully human cadet were disgraced, they never let it go since, and he was suffering graduation jitters. And decided to try again later, and gained his rank of lieutenant." he said and she and her counterpart nodded. "As Ferus said if we ever had need for him, just give the call, time to call in a favor. Because we're fixing this now, my alter ego is the stooge." he said and she and Mace nodded in agreement.
"Come again?" Knight Tru Veld asked and he nodded. "I'm saying my alter ego was the one that let you take the fall, the censure was him, not me." he said and he nodded in shock. "Remember at times friendship turns to possession, but attachment is forbidden, possession is forbidden. Compassion is part of our lives, going on a guess if you told me, I could have swapped crystals, and Omega was an NFS, he's retired in leave till we pull him back in right now, we get off."
"On a warning and Darra survives the blast, that's the Jedi way." he said and he sighed. "Your lightsaber had a blown circuit, I fixed the aperture, and made a few corrections. But you had to compensate for the power boost, something you forgot to do." he said and he looked down. "I know you're having a tough time believing that, with Darra gone, but trust me it's the truth. But that was the Sith homeworld, instead of allowing yourself to take a break you kept going now."
"And your crystals go and just Omega fires now, but you made a mistake, you learn from it and you move on, it's time to relinquish your position and back to padawan. Tru trust me, you and Ferus, we make up, become friends again, because we don't and my alter ego. He still blames you and Ferus for mom's death, her's and Darra's, we have to do this and fix it, now." he said and he felt his heart start breaking, realizing this was the him he befriended talking to him now.
"If Ferus was here, would he say the same, Darra and me, we're living force, we allow our true feelings for Obi-wan and Soara to hold us together. Damon and Father, our parental mentors, Obi-wan and Soara our mentors, of the four of us, we're the only true padawans. You just said that Ry' and Siri were just a means to an end, of early graduation." he said and he jerked at that and Mace crossed his arms as the boy looked between the council to the duo shaking in fear.
"You know if she was mine, I would gladly return to her, him, the same, even Adi, after the war ended I'd come home to my parental, my loyalty's to them. Father even more so, I love Father, but I'm Obi-wan's padawan, in extension I'm father's, the war's ending. I'm coming home, but though married, they know I want to be with them again, always, son to his parent. And with mom dead, I have no mother, so with Adi and Tiana, they fill in that role, as does Winna."
"But with it, we return to the protocol of one on one up to mid to late 20's, make knight at 30, and Master at whatever, same as before. I'm a padawan, I want to remain at my master's side, if you ever cared, you'd do the same, for her." he said and he swallowed and the trio looked down, feeling his words warm their hearts, knowing he proved the basis. Of what they themselves always prided themselves on in their repeated lectures as he answered that smiling.
"We love you too son, there's something, aside from you and Lana, not many members of your age group ever said out loud. That we're your parent, you love us and though married, want to stay our baby cub." Damon Calrissian said smiling then at his remark. "Just like you're Qui-Gon's cub padawan though gone, you still have your brother here. But the loyalty and wanting to return, we, your parentals, have never been more relieved you want to be taken back by us."
"There's the loyalty we look for, total commitment now, your commitment to our partnership, I knew if you were any of our padawans, you would choose that immediately. Adi said that she considered being your mentor for color definition till Siri came home." she said and he smiled at her. "She's like mom, totally devoted to her, I love her, Siri my favorite big sister, but had three I'm close to, while the quartet are close friends, Obi-wan big brother." he said and she chuckled.
"Indeed, first the violation to our partnership in your brother's case, now the lightsaber." Mace said sternly to that. "And with that, does Ry mean nothing to you?" he said to the boy and he jerked. "Hmm, was Ry' just a means to an end in graduation, graduating early, but from Dooku's age group, to Father to Obi-wan always the same pattern together. And for 13 to 15 years from the time they were teenage younglings, well I'm keeping that tradition now, Tru, not letting go."
"But yes, that's the meaning to Master's repeated remark, the deepest commitment, the most serious mind, to translate is you must have the deepest commitment: to your team. You must be 100% serious to that commitment it was never about the Jedi, but your commitment. To your team, you break that trust, it shatters." he said and Mace slammed his hand on his chair with a proud smile. "Exactly, that's it exactly." he said and Yoda smiled in pride at his translating then.
"Qui-Gon, if still alive he was, very proud of you, he would be, Anakin, proved the point you have of what I keep saying, but as said I did also, make a choice. And make it for the others standing silent at your shoulder, what say am I, to you?" he asked and the other boy froze up in fear then, realizing what he did just left them considering if he and his counterpart did that. Who wasn't to say that the rest of their clan would do the same and Anakin crossed his arms then.
"Annie, use me as a prime example, Siri already gave me a reprimand for that, and it stuck with me for 26 years." Obi-wan said and he nodded. "After I walked right into the end piece of your life regarding that scenario, after meeting them, that's Den and Andra, let alone the Chuns." he said and Obi-wan nodded. "After you're walking into my friends, my clan, every time you turn around, back then right now." he said and Mace hid a chuckle as he went over that gently then.
"Yeah, but you quit in being a padawan and joined the revolution on Melida/Daan, you can't make a pledge and then take it back, once you find another cause to join. It doesn't work like that and even worse is it has them doubting the commitment of the rest of padawans. Darra and I realized we had to leave, it goes in the middle of a combat situation that could kill us. I was ready to, as he decided not to come to me, tell you behind his back." he said and he nodded.
"And that lets you off the hook, you were prepared to turn them in for attempted implication now, you heard the conversation and then switched it. So with me is that it, or to rephrase, with me, you're with the council and a traitor to all padawans." he said and Tru started shaking in fear. "And that attitude cruel and deserved a point to humbling you do, as felt it now, through our bond I did and told not say anything, so Annie, if you will." Yoda said and he nodded sternly.
"You make a choice and you make that same choice for the rest of your clan, who are not saying anything and way to go Tru, you just left them considering the fact. That if you and Ferus did that, who won't say Lana and I will be next, before our clan was killed in combat." he said and he swallowed hard. "Well no, I didn't and I won't, my loyalty is beyond question, and they know that, but I never lied to them before, I am not starting now." he said and they all nodded then.
"And with that, being a Jedi knight is lonely without someone, either age group to talk to, I see why you chose team ups, it gives us padawans someone our age to hang with. While the mentors are discussing business." he said and Mace nodded smiling gently. "That's why after your brother slipped up, we gave him your sister to partner up with as just that. Youngling, the shortened version to that is Young, the Melida/Daan revolution." he said and Anakin nodded.
"Yes, but Master, I wish to return to your side, if that's alright, be our team for another 4 to 5 years, as I join you on the council when the twins are 10." he said and Obi-wan smiled gently at that remark. "That's fine Anakin, I am just fine with that, though supposedly a knight, you still use that title with me, only now it returns to Master/padawan once again." he said and Anakin smiled at him, as Mace saw them 7 years prior when he was still a teenage youngling then.
"Our bond is all that matters to me, Master, I am not leaving you, we got this far, we finish out together, so 5 years, make knight at 28, and another 5, as I make master at 33." he said and he, Mace and Yoda nodded smiling in approval. "Very well, I will put in you're ready for your true trials, at 27, as you be the one to deal with the Zabrak now, your test is the same as mine." he said and Anakin nodded smiling gently at that as Yoda smiled proudly at that remark then.
"Indeed that's just fine, we never been more proud of you." Mace said and Anakin smiled as he answered him. "And now you know I definitely been listening to you, all of you, guys way too much lately." he said and the council nodded. "While Andy is depending on Palpatine's guidance, yes indeed, you're our star pupil, Andy is playing with the darkside way too much. Just wait till he gets addicted to the power lust next." Ki said sternly and Mace nodded in agreement then.
"Well here's a question, what's considered still a youngling age with teenagers?" he asked and Mace chuckled. "Borderline 17 actually, so to us the twins are still younglings by the time they're 15, but the time is fast approaching. And when they're ready to leave their safety zone and begin their destiny, we been training Light and Courage for 19 years and baby twins are 7 now." he said and Anakin nodded smiling then. "I got to tell Ruwee." he said and they nodded smiling.
"Agreed, Cliegg and Ruwee deserve to know this, so when you go to Owen, he gets a chance to watch Light grow up, knowing you're still okay, and a skilled Jedi master." Shaak Tii said gently and he nodded. "Your mother would be very proud of you though, you became everything we wanted you to become now." Mace said and he nodded gently. "Andy's the power blast you felt Master, before you found us on Geonosis next." he said and Mace nodded as he looked at Tru.
"To answer that is Andy is my twin brother, the one you were wary of." he said and he swallowed hard. "I take it, he's the one that got in trouble for the pit racing, you were at the junk pile gathering more equipment to restock the electronics lab?" the healer asked bemused and he nodded. "While you told me he went the pits and Obi-wan and I met up on the incline, as I fixed his wings and got him out of the pits, Andy's the younger of the two of us, but he's Bruck."
"I'm Obi-wan, gaining my lightsaber that year." he said and the group nodded smiling gently. "Like you know I do everything, I just added another one, force healing, minor medic." he said and the healer and her apprentice nodded smiling. "So what's the plan for the twins exactly, son?" Mace asked and he explained that. "Normal training up to 12 years old, we separate till they're 19, and they go off training mode, at 19, once Bail brings us out of retirement now."
"While my youngest, if they're 12, by the time we stop him, for good, are stuck on training mode, as we all know, all fun and games till it goes off training and right to real." he said and they nodded in agreement. "With you starting at 10 years old, that makes sense, they got the training you lost for the first 9 years, but growing up Jedi is a lot easier. Then activating at a moment's notice." Shaak Tii said and Mace and Yoda nodded in agreement to her opinion then.
"Yeah that's an understatement, but their practice lightsabers are full power, till they're ready, as they gain said maturity and Light knows he's ready, as he had my back up. As his new starter lightsaber, as he passes his practice lightsaber to his cub counterpart." he said and Yoda nodded smiling gently. "While at 16 years old if we stop the Nightbrothers and sisters, we're eliminating our darkside counterparts, once rid of Sidious, for good now." Mace said in agreement, smiling.
"I'm married Tru and I'm an expecting father, but their mother doesn't mind this at all, that the twins are like me, but she's a NFS." he said and he swallowed hard at that. "Nice terming, short for non force sensitive." Damon read out and he nodded. "Yeah 7 years separation is not a big deal here, as Light learns his padawan training from me and Obi-wan. As we're together with the alliance and traveling with the fleet, so back to fighter pilot." he said and Yoda nodded, smiling.
"We got to get the baby twins, if our youngest were born by the time you were separated now, to safety now, but depending if twins now runs in your family. Then we got two with your version and a third with Courage's now." Kit said and he nodded in agreement then. "Bad side effect with the added midichlorine count, if Truth is suddenly thinking he knows everything. And is lording it over his younger brother, when his uncle, Darian's son, his sister's boyfriend and I."
"Are the ones that brushed it, did damage, the strain nearly killed us and we came back as fast as we collapsed." he said and Mace nodded. "And do you really knows the dangers, or are you just showing off, need I remind you, your father has been fighting the darkside. And since he was 29 years old." he said sternly and Yoda nodded in agreement. "Watch it with the stockholm syndrome though, that's a dangerous thing, but these children don't get our training now."
"I spent 58 years a Jedi master, and 6 months recovery from said brush with the darkside, I got too close to the river and just barely, baby suffered those same months. In recovering from it as did your adopted uncle, Uncle A.J.'s best friend, and your mother's twin brother, his wife. Do you truly understand, are you the only one that understands, I been fighting Sith and Dark Jedi. Since I was 14, I was on the Sith home planet, beware your arrogance, young man in truth."
"That attitude is not tolerated, but you call Sith training torture, just imagine your mother and her brothers' training, my training, we were protected. Because we listened to Master Yoda, to the masters, we stayed strong." he said and Yoda nodded. "Indeed, point to this that is, fought the darkside since 9 you were and came back stronger you have. Went to and came back as fast as you had, do you, child, truly understand the dangers?" Yoda asked and Mace nodded sternly.
"This is suddenly more then this child was accustomed to." Anakin said sternly and they and Obi-wan nodded. "And look at us, we're so fully focused into the lightside, it's we never think about ourselves, always about others, we're selfless." Damon said smiling and he nodded. "And that becomes doubly clear with the next generation, my children are their mother and me. And in every sense of the word here, but the names are Nabooian, for Light and Courage now."
"So Courageous Light, your grandson, Damon, is their big brother." he said and Damon smiled at the news. "Keep our families together, yes I understand son, our partnership was strong, and you love me like a father and the kids never knew the truth. We've been friends for 30 to 50 years now." he said and Anakin nodded. "Landon, nickname of Lando, so Lando Damon Calrissian, if fallen, I know only person with the name of Calrissian and it's you now in truth."
"To realize my son-in-law's best friend is your grandson here now." he said and Mace started laughing at that. "No kidding and like Qui-Gon said, training to be a Jedi is not an easy task, it's a challenge and even if you succeed. Well this is a hard life, before we fixed that problem and suddenly we're about to go Grey Jedi. But really, going off the code resulted in our destruction, time to be back to the code." he said and Mace nodded in agreement as Anakin looked at Tru.
"Nabooian, we know only one senator who's know Nabooian and that is…." Tiana started to say and they all smiled. "Senator Amidala, you're married to Padme." Winna's apprentice said smiling and he nodded. "My sabbatical resulted in us falling in love and we eloped, to protect her, but we're making an announcement amongst both sides after the war ends. So you know who the father is, as they have, possibly have, my count in midichlorines right now in truth."
"Mine doubled in amounts since I was a youngling, so once checked, you know who the father is, in your case, but the maternal side. If we never told you now, will have you realizing in an emergency here, she's pregnant and Obi-wan found out by accident. While for the Rebellion, they know who the father is, as they know the twins are force sensitive. And the surname gave it away, but who's the mother and they get their answer right now." he said and they all nodded.
"Indeed, if the cubs are force sensitive, we know who the signature is, they match you, as the force is strong in your family, very strong." Winna said smiling and he nodded. "Alright yes, yeah we don't mind now that you told, that's fine, as you open your personal life to us. So she's pregnant, how soon exactly?" she asked and he smiled then. "She's 7 months pregnant, we got 8 weeks, but we induce it a week early." he said and she nodded to the request gently then.
"Andy's crossing the line results in the emergency procedure, he damaged her windpipe, will actually as the powerlust went right to his head, I want you to be the OB-GYN, Winna." he said and she nodded. "First her, then you and we grow back your limbs as the fight got that brutal, yes he's getting whatever in punishment for doing that to a pregnant woman. And his trying to kill you, before Obi-wan does it himself, us through him." Damon said sternly and he nodded.
"Indeed, by bending the code, it nearly became our destruction, so back at it." Mace said sternly and Anakin nodded. "After only 6 years, we had 8 to 9 years left of training, and I wasn't ready to just let go, mentally, I am ready, but emotionally, still a cub, I'm not ready. Now just to leave the safety net of our partnership." he said and the other boy paled at that. "But, in truth, normally padawans stay with their mentors till they're Lana's age." he said and he paled further.
"So they sped up the trials, that's not a bad thing, Anakin." Tru said shaking, realizing Anakin gave it up and wanted to remain with Obi-wan. "Not bad, young man, you let your eagerness to get into the program cloud your judgement and it kills Darra. Leaving all of us Masters doubting the commitment you, as our students, have to us." Tiana said sternly and he paled then. "There that's my point exactly, as Jedi we never think about ourselves we think of others, the safety."
"Of the team, Darra and I considered our injuries and after hearing your exchange, I realized I had to turn that in, and now, before you killed us by irresponsibility." he said and he swallowed hard at that. "Then why didn't you?" he said, shaking and he crossed his arms. "I had actually, into Master Yoda, and he cancelled the program." he said and he went white in fear at that. "In more accurately, Anakin, shot concerns of your eagerness to graduate cloud your judgement."
"Through our bond, to me, hearing that concern I realized another scenario like Lorian Nodd coming along, followed by Obi-wan, that said I did. That told him not say anything, till the incriminating exchange you have with him, as your words seal your fates. As why cancelled the program, didn't matter what say you did, proved his loyalty to us, fully he had. But first to get picked, be a padawan, make knight, get a padawan, all by his current age, the prize is council."
"Chair on council, and furthered in my eyes his loyalty, by agreement to be my spy on Chancellor Palpatine he has, and created an alibi for his alter. Said about to turn on us he is and join our Sithmaster, Anakin, mine he is, my padawan, never been more proud I am now." Yoda said sternly and he started shaking in fear. "TD-16 was watching the entire conversation, knowing you tried to twist things around, but too late, right now, to them you created that."
"That story to relieve yourselves of the guilt, knowing you allowed the darkside to cloud your judgement right now, but not my fault here, I was detained in a shield trap." he said and Tru swallowed hard, now knowing what he built up in his mind and lead himself to believe, had been thoroughly debunked by their intervention. "He, Master Windu and Tolan decided, if you're going to let graduation cloud your judgement right now in truth, after I proved my loyalty to them."
"You need something to humble you, and that's exactly what happened, Darra, she was the punchline, I was in on it, his decision." he said and he swallowed hard at that. "They cancelled the program and then we're graduating far sooner then we should, because of the war. Only now that the war is ending, we can be padawans again, so that's a good thing, not rushing it. It is, actually Tru, it is, when it's part of the darkside, expedited, translation, fast road to the trials."
"And especially when it makes you forget a dangerously critical thing, we were not there for your career." he said and he started shaking in fear at that, realizing it. "I told them the truth to what really happened, and Obi-wan's furious right now, as is Master Windu and Master Yoda." he said sternly and he went pale at that news. "Just what the heck were you thinking of here, the Sith can wait, our safety matters more here." Obi-wan said sternly and he swallowed hard then.
"Obi-wan, Master Tiana, Master Damon, please, please, I just didn't want to get sent home." he said and they shook their heads. "No there is no excuse for this right now, Anakin got off lightly, because he did exactly as he was supposed to, come forward and tell us the truth. He was a model padawan, we never cared he was out of temple born that was okay. And it's because he dragged along his honesty with him when he was cub outside the temple, he knew better now."
"She's gone, because of you, your reckless behavior killed her." Obi-wan said sternly at that to him. "Well I see pulling back too soon was a very bad idea, seems we have to give till you're 21, before your brother or sister have to take over here right now. Because this was reckless, if we been with you, Tiana, Adi and I decide we're leaving right now. And after my baby girl and Annie were injured, before you held this back from us." Damon said sternly and he went pale then.
"Yes you heard me right, my baby girl, my daughter, Darra and Soara are my daughters, I missed them so much, it's hard, I always did fine with the opposite gender. Tiana with boys, until you and Ferus pull this stunt, but as Qui' would say your focus determines your reality. We're not just giving up, but the future younglings of our order leave us a second chance, but our first born, the pain still hurts, we miss our babies, me, my girls, Tiana your brother now."
"But Anakin was right to turn this in right now." he said sternly at that remark. "Our careers, Tru, were not the reason we were there, but after said head injury and her getting hit. And by that shrapnel blast, we should have left, we can have a crack at them later right now. We're Jedi we have a duty to the truth, our first rule is to survive, but we need to regroup. And just so she and I can recover." he said and Mace crossed his arms then, now hearing it for what it was then.
"But just say that blow to the head was worse, what's Obi-wan's consideration here?" he asked and Damon nodded. "After Siri told us you, you in particularly Anakin, got hit hard enough to need Winna checking you, we decide you're coming home right now. Especially if the blast broke it enough it's sounding like the crystal malfunctioned." Tiana said sternly and Tru went pale. "And technically, if we gave it till you're 20, the four of us decided never mind staying now."
"We're leaving right now and going home, so we can check that lightsaber, you and Darra are in recovery from the blast." Damon added sternly and Obi-wan nodded in agreement. "We can't reverse time, but we can return to the code at the most pure, and with that. Now that I'm an adult, and you wanted to stay with me till you're 28, we can stick to that now, brother. But our younglings got parent bear getting overly protective here." he said and Mace nodded to that.
"Who wouldn't be after you barely blew your knee out, before Tahl passed, when you were a teenager." Kit said in response and Mace nodded in agreement. "That's why I was trying to figure out a way to prevent this, knowing you would, if you came along, after I got hit that hard. Decide never mind staying out there, time to come home, no one is at risk, we need to rest and regroup, we may have to use this technique with my kids and their cubs, so parental, normal."
"And padawan: team trio." he said and they nodded in agreement. "Having already gotten a taste of that with you, after finding you, yes I agree with you." Obi-wan said and Yoda nodded in agreement. "Only the parental bear is you big brother, but you, me and Light now, and Light just turned 19 by that point." he said and Obi-wan nodded and Mace hid a smile at that. "Point made Anakin, I'm acting like Qui-Gon and Luke is getting restless." he said and he nodded gently then.
"Well we're fixing that right now, but the code dictated, that in moments of extreme urgency, like now, to consider the safety of the team. I did, but you didn't, you chose early graduation over our safety now, but you made the mistake and it kills Darra. Why didn't you come to me, I would have checked the crystal." he said and he went white at that. "Personal gain consequences turns around does you in the process, Ferus was expelled, you're in disgrace."
"Darra is dead, as for me I was a plant here." he said and he swallowed hard at that. "But this is what I heard between you." he said sternly as he pulled out a recorder. "I noticed it, that droid must have pulverized your power circuit." he said and then they heard Tru. "It keeps slipping back into half power." he said in response and sighed. "I know I should have told Ry Gaul, but he's so correct, he might leave me out of battle situations."
"Or even send me back to Coruscant." they heard and then heard a soft tone. "Ry' would be within his rights to do that, without a functioning lightsaber. You're at risk right now Tru, your being here is a hindrance rather then a help. But quite honestly, they can wait, we need to go home right now, the Sith, Zan Arbor and Omega can wait. We need to regroup right now." they heard in response to that his remark and Mace nodded.
"If your lightsaber is permanently damaged, Ry Gaul would be right to do so." they heard in response to that remark. "After all, you don't want to go up against a Sith without a lightsaber." he said and they heard a firm tone. "No kidding, this mission is crucial, that's why I can't be send back, not yet, I just thought if I could fix it without Ry Gaul knowing it…." they heard and Anakin completed the sentence then at that remark.
"I could help with the arrest right now." they heard sighing and Mace nodded sternly as they heard more. "Look I know I wouldn't be the first candidate or the second, to enter the acceleration program. You and Anakin would be the first, maybe Darra would be the third, but I don't want to be left behind." they heard and he nodded. "You want to keep the team together and are ignoring the code?!" they heard in shocked disbelief then.
"Tru, you're advancement is not the reason we're here." he said sternly at that remark and they heard it quickly. "That's not what I meant, I want to be with my fellow padawans, my fellow Jedi. Because we all know that the darkness is growing, we need every Jedi right now, I want to be out there." he said and they heard a gentle tone. "We all do Tru, but in order to be do so, we all have to be ship shape, but currently."
"We're still very young, not ready yet so much to learn still, but first rule is to survive, in order to do that, we must go home." they heard gently and Mace looked at Anakin and he nodded to him and the council nodded. "We all do…., alright, I fixed it, but why didn't you go to Anakin, he's better at this then I am." he said and they heard it. "He's busy with Obi-wan." he said and they heard a firm tone at that and Damon crossed his arms sternly.
"Busy with Obi-wan, or with Obi-wan and in extension, your parental mentor, is that what you're afraid of, you come to me and though I fixed it I tell Tiana and Ry' the repairs may not hold up and needs more work done on it. Well I see I have no choice, but that breaks down twice, you're being expelled for implication. As well as lying and murder, because you decided not to report it." they heard and Tru went white at that.
"I don't see any reason to tell Ry Gaul, now that it's fixed, we better get back." they heard from Ferus Olin and he switched it off. "So that's it hmm, that's what happened that day, you heard the entire exchange and instead of telling me right now. Me and Ry' the lightsaber needed more work done on it, they decided not to come to you. Knowing you do, you tell us and Siri the repairs may not hold up." Obi-wan said sternly and Anakin nodded to him gently then.
"Yes Master." he said humbly and Tiana and Damon nodded sternly, but gently. "You realize if I busted you right then the exchange goes, 'Guys, did you expect me to not over hear that. The conversation today, 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 and both of you 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. 'Alright just admit it, you want to lie your way out of this.' they heard sternly from his thoughts in response to that as he said it then sternly.
"No, but he knows exactly how it happened here right now." 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 as he looked between them in disgusted disbelief. 'I get it baby.' Shaak Tii said gently to that then.
'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 thought in shock as the entire 9 years together, before it landed on them together hit him. " I can't call Obi-wan a liar, Tru." he said and Ferus said it gently. "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 remark and Mace nodded sternly.
"It's wrong you two." he said and Tru said it gently. "Anakin..." he started to say and Anakin said it firmly as Mace waited for it. "No, I won't, 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 as Damon crossed his armd as he looked at him as he felt his heart tearing at this.
"I'm not going to lie them again, I covered for you once, I'm not doing it again, that lightsaber needs more work done on it. If it means ending the mission now, to protect ourselves it's well worth it now, 'he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.'. We let them win this one time, and try again later, but Darra and I are hurt, so I'm not lying to them. I'm sorry Tru, but I'm not lying to Ry' or Obi-wan, I can't live with it." he said and that did it as Mace nodded then.
'Yes there we go, like we said: fight then pull back, can try again, baby.' Tiana thought gently to that. "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. "You're going to turn us in." he snapped at him and Anakin said it sharply. "Wait a minute." he started to say and Ferus snapped at him then.
"No you wait a minute!" he snapped and sighed as he ran his hand through his hair as he said it to him 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. "We are Jedi padawans, we have a duty to the truth." he said and Tru said it firmly to that.
"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 remark. 'And you were, always.' they heard sternly as he said it then.
