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 6: Preparations And Counter Strikes III
"Whoa alright last thing I remember was us watching the twins, Han, Chewie and Lando together, and now we're back…., oh thank you Tahl. Master Yoda, if that's really you, you and Obi-wan, somebody in the other side shot us to the month prior to the purge." he said and Yoda nodded in shock and relief. "So 10 days have we, before makes his move on us he does, and instead, hit a flaw in the plan, as come back out you did, before all return to this day, we do."
"To do this all over again, and stop his corrupting you and twisting your thinking on us, the Order, from who you are, into a cold blooded killer." he said and Anakin nodded. "Exactly, that's exactly what they're doing, sending us to the day he appointed me here. And to the council, as we start to see this was a trap, what's he doing till the realization starts to form. Could it be him, if that's why he ordered me to kill Dooku." he said and Obi-wan crossed his arms at that.
"Protecting his identity, by ordering you to kill him, Sidious had?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "Yes Master, Andy knew he shouldn't, but he ordered him to, Dooku was to be the first sacrifice down his path to the darkside." he said and Mace crossed his arms. "I knew we trained you too well to crack, but his claiming my killing Sidious to get rid of him the same. He just murdered a man in cold blood, I'm avenging our friends, not the same thing." He said and Yoda nodded.
"Like I would have told him, I came to bring you to justice, not turn on my friends after you murdered 1/4 of the council, after he just knocked you unconscious." he said and Mace nodded in understanding. "One quarter, he killed whoever came with me, knocked me unconscious, Shaak Tii, you, Stass, Plo, Master, Ki, Obi-wan, Coleman and Depa." he said and Anakin nodded. "Bingo, and the trio he killed was Saesee, Agen and Kit." he said and Mace nodded sternly.
"How far back are you exactly?" Kit asked him and he nodded. "Exactly 23 years, my kids are 23 years old, it's the last 5 weeks prior to their birthday." he said and Mace nodded. "With playing twins, you're with Obi-wan, Andy was told to keep her company. When not, deal with being Sidious's rep, you get the last battle, him being the rep on the council. He's stuck dealing with politics here, you get the last battle." he said and Yoda nodded smiling in agreement sternly.
"So send us: you, Master and me, back to the week we came home from the Outer Rim Sieges, and you just got the news that Padme is pregnant right now." Obi-wan said and he nodded. "Yep, and time for us to come clean to you, we are, Obi-wan, so Bail is still alive, as is Padme, and the entire Order, we can do it all over again, change this moment it time. You change the future, as instead of getting stuck in the world between worlds, that we get sent back to now."
"But there it is, she's pregnant, the twins are mine, we been together ever since my sabbatical/assignment 3 years ago, Master Yoda, we're married." he said and Yoda nodded gently to him and Obi-wan smiled in relief. "Had that consideration we did, that married you are, but let it alone, after Obi-wan said unloaded unknown anger at Dooku, you had. This explain the force blast felt I did, before found you on Tatooine, we did?" he asked and he nodded gently.
"Mom was killed by the Raider tribe, who's member I helped after a landslide broke his leg, I went to check, but arrived too late, and Andy lost it completely." he said and Mace nodded in understanding. "I knew my decision to tell you to stay put was the correct one, you needed time to come to terms with what your alter ego did. But Padme's idea worked as you started unloading that anger into destroying the droids right now." he said and Anakin nodded then.
"I take it you, Ki, Kit and Adi all noticed that, around her I could focus completely as we worked as a team?" he asked and they nodded. "We had and we knew the writing was on the wall, but hearing from her your mother was gone right now. We decided if she made you happy we'd leave it alone right now." he said and Anakin nodded gently. "Well our timer ran out, with the politics, so time to come clean, she's carrying my children." he said and he nodded gently.
"Very well, and we'll grant you an exception, knowing she's 7.5 months pregnant, we just run that clock out right now, alright so she's pregnant. And you just been shot back to now so we can do this right now, or all over again in your case right now." Ki said and he nodded gently. "Yes Master, the idea is playing twins, we can save 3/4's of the Order, by sending them to Ahch-to or Yavin IV, out of the way." he said and they nodded gently.
"We need to reconfigure the code and right now, make him think we're never going to change, and instead we had, by this moment." he said and Yoda nodded. "What suggest do you Anakin, as playing twins you are, one side a Jedi still, as have what you need. In order to save her you do, and the other slowly turning Sithlord, seeing what become of us, he has now?" he said and Anakin nodded, as he leaned forward, and looked between them, to Obi-wan, Kit and Shaak Tii.
"We run the clock out on the pregnancy here now, Master, you were training twins, one fell to the darkside, the other was on a mission to arrest the droid army leader. So your story to Luke turns true, Andy betrayed and nearly murdered me, but I survived the fight. I survived the fight, and you grew back my arms and legs, Polis Massa!" he said and Yoda smiled in delight then. "Saying you are that Tahl, Yaddle or Qui-Gon, shot us back 23 years, you are, to the day."
"That been assigned to the council, they have?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "Yes Master, but I think that was to show us what could happen, if you never changed your advice. And instead not realizing he was standing directly in front of you, you and Mace deal with him the most. But Master, I see where we errored here, in the previous time line, but currently if we change it. As the kids are currently think I still at Vader, if I told you immediately this morning right now."
"Ask for your help, I take your mission in exchange for access to the restricted session, we can fix that mistake this round. But I can play two parts of me, the me that you knew was close to completing her training at the moment, my alter ego. We can call Andy now, real name of Andrus, but the one you doted upon was me, because I understand it. In your lessons, so I'm playing twins, so one twin sees him as his mentor and friend, not realizing he's a Sithmaster."
"Think over what you said to me Master Yoda, fear is the path to the darkside, how and why are the next reason, if Luke never understood this, as you never explained that to him. Though you did us now, I grew up with it right now, with that now, in explaining how this could. It's not all fear, but sin, a lust for power, lust is a sin, in order to stay your self, choose the exact. In reverse of all of them, Lust: Chastity, Anger: Mercy, Greed: Charity, Pride: Humility now."
"This will protect yourself, as well doing everything yourself, rather then others do it for you, though the boys help Padme and me with our minor tasks. As we do everything ourselves. we accept everything we have, and not needing more then we currently have here. And lastly is anything we do have, in food or what not, is passed around immediately." he said and Yoda nodded, as Mace leaned forward. "Very good, what else exactly?" Mace said and he went on.
"So with that, the trio are a one way ticket to an early grave, or worse here, so fear leads to desperation, desperation to anger, anger to hate, and hate. If not checked at the door, leads to something you can never take back: mom's murder and the aftermath." he said and Mace nodded gently. "Very good, why that is at times forbid attachments we do now, leads it does, to possessiveness and if not controlled, to something that can never be taken back now, Anakin."
"More there is to your mother's death, if said that you did?" Yoda asked and he nodded, sighing gently. "I can't take back what I did, but I can at least try to come to terms with it, I wish I went back to check, we'd make it in time and I set my mind to rest." he said and he and Mace nodded in understanding. "From here on in, we have only one chance to get this right, those same visions are focused on Padme this time, this would be my last mission, as I went on sabbatical."
"Till the pregnancy ran its course, she's pregnant, they're mine, Master please, I need your help, I can finish your assignment, and we make it seem like he's won. And we go into hiding, before we separate them at 12 years old and start 1 on 1, but started 5 years too late. In our case, you can get those 5 years back and train them like the others now at the moment. I'm putting them in for Jedi Training, as you train them early." he said and Yoda nodded sternly at the news then.
In knowing that was their biggest mistake. "Starting your children at 4 years old, like all of my previous padawans, would be the response, as helped you raise them. We would now, the children of the Chosen One they are, the new hope for the Old Republic and galaxy. They are, as understand I do, currently power advantage you have on Sidious, half human. On you he does, add your children, never survive this now, he will." he said gently and Anakin nodded then.
"Now that we knew all along he been here right in front of us, we just let him become the most hated man in the galaxy, the war is destroying us one by one. So he just killed the Order and we were reborn, as the New Jedi Order, learn from the past. To create a better future and prevent the mistakes of the past, making it so they understand here. Do they really understand the dangers, or are they just showing off to their peers." he said and Mace nodded in agreement.
"So currently in 23 years, you have a power advantage on him, you in that suit, he has one on you, but add the twins. That he knows he's never going to survive a fight with your entire family?" Mace said and he nodded gently. "Obi-wan and Master realized this, just like he did, I have children and they will become threat to him. Because they're going to bring me back out and when I do, I'm going to kill him for taking everything from me." he said and they nodded.
"I'm just relieved they shot us back to today, as we fix this moment in time, and give it a second chance, you can't trust Andy, but you can me. But all three of you together, he's never going to survive a second chance to get it right. Because we been evacuating the younglings and everyone not a warrior, moving you to a secure location. And as the only members here are the council and the Lightsaber training master." he said and Mace nodded gently in understanding.
"Start evacuations in the morning, us Jedi, we're, after finding Grievous, out of the war, as they finish the clean up, I took care of Dooku. Obi-wan and I handle Grievous and you push him into exposing himself to you, by claiming code 65. He's going 66, and unknown to him, everyone not a warrior was evacuated already right now. To a secure location, but I'm ordering immediate sedation and put yourselves into suspended." he said and Mace nodded in agreement then.
"The idea is with my playing twins I can go back and forth, so as a result here after Obi-wan gets the news to where Grievous is. I, as Anakin, am going with him, and you sent Andy on a mission to Dagobah, to view that possibility. So, is he willing to become this to save her, evil me knew the answer that question, no I came to you for advice. And you gave it to me, study force healing and wait out the timer, him: you sent him to Dagobah." he said and Yoda nodded.
"Before returning, as he still doesn't know who it is, and then comes the reveal, and he tells Mace, and he decides to investigate this himself, giving adequate prepping time. For the quartet, Cin, Jocasta and the others to drug everyone and put themselves into suspended. I come back 36 hours later, find a disaster area and check the records here now. You see my handiwork on the clones I dispatched and know who did this, we're identical." He said and Yoda nodded then.
"That's the scary part, knowing instead of blueberry blue, we see reddish orange, that is slowly going blood red right now, striking down everyone. That trying to fight it out with him, before knowing you're coming to investigate this, we see you dressed. in an identical set of Obi-wan's clothes, with your signature blueberry and style of Djem So, and come too. And start striking down every clone that turned on us." Cin said sternly and Shaak Tii and Jocasta nodded sternly.
"Indeed know we do alright, your and Andy's handiwork in lightsaber combat, virtually identical you are, and know I do, you healed everyone. Ones who took the lightsaber to a vital organ, they did, as try to stop you from leaving, as you just exhausted yourself. As Shaak Tii, Mace and everyone surviving the purge here at the temple, try to prevent you from leaving. But your family, this is, handle this yourself, you will now." he said and Mace nodded with a sigh then.
"Side effects, you are my only family, now that mom is dead, but I'm married and an expecting father." he said and they nodded, knowing the fact his twin turned traitor and nearly killed them all was too much. That he was scared out of his mind the entire council, and his team, his closest friends outside of, were dead. "Did either of us expect any different, that like Luke, your reaction is virtually identical to his and you had to check on Padme first, before you left."
"You and Luke had the very same reaction, and you're ready to take out who murdered who was left here at temple, but you drained yourself into exhaustion, by repeated healing." Obi-wan said and he sighed. "Obi-wan you knew this, I would never turn on you, you're my only family after the Raiders killed mom, but now I'm an orphan. And my twin is gone, I'm alone, so I have to put him out of his misery." he said and Obi-wan said it sternly to him at that remark.
"Well this too much, after finding your own handiwork, and looking from their clothes to the armor, knowing immediately Andy did this. Not only are you grieving at the loss of your entire family, but knowing you're beyond exhausted here as a result right now as well. You just drained your reserves after fighting it out with who knows how many clones, a dunk in the reservoir. And the water is freezing no less right now and now this, that you're not going anywhere here."
"You're exhausted right now, this is too dangerous, you need to wait for me to get back and we do it together." Obi-wan said sternly and Mace nodded. "Anakin, we know this is personal, but still..." he said gently to him. "If I was an untrained padawan maybe, but now, I'm 23 years old, and knowing Sidious, if there was any leverage left, he'd go after Padme. And he finds out she's pregnant, we're screwed here, trained from birth." He said and Mace nodded in shock.
"Near as understand I do, that one moment in time, resulted in nearly destroying us, but made it just in time we had, Luke, my concern is for now. A normal teenage, going adult padawan he is, impatient, but kind hearted, just 6 to 7 years training. Then time to put his abilities to use, as only you, Obi-wan, Leia and Dave are there, acting as the Jedi influence. Till send you Artoo and Threepio Padme does, through your Leia." Yoda said and he nodded in agreement gently then.
"Agreed, that is a very good idea, we have a few dozen knights, padawans and masters here, everyone else was sent to Ach-to and Yavin IV, we're in hiding till the coast is clear. But we're retired till the council gets these blueprints, and sends them to you now. Once done, activate the transponder signal and tell us." Mace said and Yoda and Obi-wan nodded in agreement. "Fix the damage by acting hastily we are, and from here now, Padme knows still on Utapaa, you are."
"And Vader, came with claim that tried to take control of the republic, and Sidious called for our execution, he has." Yoda said and he nodded. "I ended up bringing both of them with me on the Outer Rim Sieges and the one crashing the cruiser this time was Andy. He killed Dooku, and you flew us to safety, all the while carrying me on your back, I was your master. Andy was a knight now, and time to let go." Obi-wan said and Anakin nodded smiling and Yoda chuckled then.
"He killed Dooku, we got Grievous and that's that, time to yank ourselves out of the war and leave the fighting to the real army. But personally I think Padme's right, this war is nothing but a smokescreen and the democracy. That we been trying to fight for no longer exists, the republic is the very evil we swore to destroy." he said and Mace nodded in approval. "Agreed, you could be right, and if Dooku was telling us the truth, he's right in front of us." he said to him then.
"That's why I came to you this morning, I had to discuss this with you, arrange a way, so you knew, I'm an expecting father. Lessen the blow now, of said judgement right now, in exchange now, is, in helping you with your undercover mission right now. And of getting details on his inner circle, if one of them is Sidious or he is himself now. Then you can help me, by 1) searching for the answer and 2) helping me train them, get them ready for the fight with him."
"But you know where these premonitions were heading this time, as a result, I caught him in the act, you said, time and time again, do nothing. Nothing ever changes, act on it, it could make a bad situation worse and with that in mind now. It was never me doing the talking this morning, or a bit ago, over keeping this secret from you, or the reaction to promotion." he said and Mace leaned forward at that. "It was Vader." he said and they all nodded sternly then to him at that.
"Indeed, never doing the talking all this time, from last night to when he made his choice, Anakin was, all Skywalker himself, soon to be Darth Vader in only a few short weeks." Yoda said sternly and Obi-wan nodded in agreement. "Masters, Obi-wan, I need your help, if the answer lies in the archives, permission to search the restricted section?" he asked and they and Mace nodded. "Very well, you can search the restricted section till you find it." Kit said to him then.
"Just taking my mind off my fears, before a last mission, and then it hits now, but that's the plan, I can play twins, but Vader is the one who's the Jedi knight, I'm a padawan still." he said and the council nodded in acceptance. "Senior padawan you are and wasn't lying we were, that very dangerous time for you, this is, where tempted by the darkside you will be. Only way to prevent that is studying the key, that you wish and lessen tension by sparring practice."
"Repeatedly, that which you need, drain tension so sleep through the night finally you can, and rested for the next day's activities till spring the trap, we do." Yoda said and he nodded and Shaak Tii smiled at the gentle demeanor. "Only way for you to stay yourself, is lessen your fears, so again, you have permission to search the archives till you find it now. In the meantime we can run that clock out, and till we make our move on him." Mace said to him then gently then.
"Do any of you know anything about that skill, how to keep people from death?" he asked and they nodded gently. "We know of it, only your father achieved it." Shaak Tii said gently and he smiled in delighted relief then. "Then I want to study that record Master, if that's the key, I get the new training, but there's why he went power driven and lost his way Master. Sidious dragged up his mentor now, Darth Plaeguis, who, as luck would have it, is the Sith that dropped in."
"The week before you had, Obi-wan." he said and Mace nodded as his eyes narrowed sternly to this. "The week prior, you mean right before they and Senator made an emergency landing on your planet?" he asked and Anakin nodded gently to him. "Yeah, there's why Andy thinks you're holding him back, it's always too hard, he wants something more simple. To achieve power, but me, I want knowledge and the harder, the better." he said and Mace smiled gently to him.
"There's my padawan, you made me proud." he said and Anakin smiled gently. "I knew we trained you too well, but you can balance this out, marriage and being a Jedi. You had and for 3 years, now time to add in a family, and you're back to full power, but thank you. And for telling us about that, we're going to grant you access to your father's records now. In the restricted session and you start force healing training." he said and Anakin nodded, smiling in relief then.
Before he could answer, Anakin saw a vision of himself, this time without the mask and suit, with his children and Padme Amidala, only 23 years older and with smiles on their faces and smiled. "It's working, we just changed the future, by you making that decision, I just saw the aftermath, to the Endor mission, and we're wrapping up the siege of the second Death Star. As you're also there, and you either just completed the younger twins training or started Luke's trials."
"So we came back as the New Jedi Order, we lost 2,000 during the purge next month, but everyone, everyone involved in planning our moves out is here. And because we kept moving around till we came out of hiding, 19BBY." he said and Yoda nodded smiling at that news then. "Agreed, return we all do at 19BBY now and start training a new generation, your children and Darian's youngest, my star pupils, they are as grow up they do." he said to him then gently.
"We need to make an unexpected pit stop, between Tatooine and Alderaan." he said and Obi-wan nodded. "Master Yoda on Dagobah?" he asked and he nodded. "She knows we're coming after her, we just have to get our third, and he's guarding the ship till we get back. After we do our missions, the kids their's and we regroup on the ship, and blow out the tractor beam." he said and he and Yoda nodded smiling at the remark, knowing that him for sure then now.
"Not retired I am, but kept myself strong with the force, but knowing you, my prize pupils coming to get me you are, finish Luke's training I will, and turn full time over to you, I will." he said and Anakin nodded smiling gently then. "Yep and now I have to tell this Jan and Dave, Pops and Garv, let them know we're rounding you up. Picking her up and coming to them now, as they can't trace our signal till we come out of hyperspace." he said and Mace chuckled then.
"You knew that Andy was likely to follow you, instead of walked into a trap, we reversed that trap back on them and lead them into an Ariel assault now, genius." Tru said laughing and Anakin nodded. "That my plan right now, I'm undoing the damage my twin brother caused by slowly wiping out his forces right now." he said and Tru nodded. "Yes that and we know he been using clones to create his army, rather then humans." Mace said and Anakin nodded gently.
"You never failed us, Obi-wan, Master, he failed you, and destroys himself, Master, change this moment in time, you change the future. So two attempts at testing his strength, and we're hiding in the Outer Rim and Unknown Regions. We stay out there as the Empire stuck close to the core." he said and Yoda nodded. "Agreed right now, the council spread around, half in the field, the other evacuate all younglings and scholars to Ach-to, we will, and keep minumum."
"Contact here you will, after treating the Skywalkers Obi-wan, Senator Organa and I do, join you we will, but making sure recover Anakin and Padme will, from the damage done. Then join you we will, as swore to protect them and the twins, we would now." he said and Mace and the council nodded to the orders. "Agreed, it's my job to protect their family now, Sidious wants you Anakin, then he's getting to you over my dead body." Obi-wan said sternly and he nodded.
As Obi-wan squeezed his shoulder tightly, in relief, knowing his brother was back then finally, now they had to fix the damage. "At least they never shot us back to now when we're in the cruisers, or Artoo and Arfour are going wonder why we blacked out." he said, before they got a beep in response. "No Artoo, Master Kenobi and I got shot 23 years into the past, Master Yoda with us, by that I mean our adult selves, during baby Master and Mistress at my age of 23."
"Our souls of that age, at double our current number in age, got shot back into our bodies as we are now." He said and they heard a gentle beep of inquiry at the news then. "Yeah that explains Mistress Padme's stomach, she's carrying baby Master and Mistress. We're expecting baby versions of us in only a few weeks buddy, you and Threepio now. You see your new owners born." he said smiling then and Tru started laughing and Yoda nodded with an amused chuckle.
"I guess that means 'yeah and what happened here, you guys alright, or did you hit your head, in the blast wave?!'." Shaak Tii said with a chuckle at the translation and question and they got an understanding beep. And the line went quiet in response then and Mace nodded with an amused look. "Family droids, to him Siri and Obi-wan are part of the family, along with mother and father and the guys, Damon, Tiana, Clee, Darra and Soara." he said and Mace nodded.
"Issues in the team family when your droids adopted us as part of the family." Obi-wan said smiling and Anakin nodded in agreement to his opinion gently at that remark. "And there's why he immediately claimed you being his owner, because to him you are his owner. He just forgot Owen, after 19 years, the heat ages you the further 25 years. And you looked closer to 65 and more then your 58 years, brother." he said and Obi-wan nodded smiling gently at that news.
"Alright we just make that Ferus never gets into fight with him, we're 23 year old padawans, he's 25, he's entering his trials with two years left." Anakin said and Yoda nodded. "He's been on a training mission for the last 4 years." Tru said and he nodded. "And we just yanked him back in right now, as a result here at the moment, but he's here training my daughter. Only Sidious never knew, Luke was being trained by me, in everything." he said and Yoda nodded smiling.
"Taking training back two years further we are, so start one on one at 11 years in human and humanoid padawans, we are." he said and Tru, Lana and Anakin nodded to the orders. "When do we separate the twins, 11, 12, 13, what exactly?" he asked and he nodded. "At age 14, we will, as 5 years separated training in their own unit training they will. But Leia part of the Olin/Tachi/Gallia unit she is, Luke, your unit, only the parental step down is at 22 here."
"It will be and finish out in the mentor at till 27 years of age now, so 16 years Jedi training, and including connecting and becoming one now." he said and he and Obi-wan nodded gently. "Well Luke's girlfriend needs a fellow Master Guardian so that leaves only one person here. And we get to her, before Sidious does." he said and they both looked at Mace and he nodded gently. "Get the team back together at the attack in orbit, over Tatooine." Anakin said and Tru nodded.
"Agreed, take younglings and all non warrior Jedi to Ach-to and Yavin IV, stay there till decide the coast is clear, you will, after sure we are of his victory he thinks. Mace, only you engage him you will, Master Guardian you are, Vapaad is a must then I will test him. And then vacate and wait for Anakin to return and pretend chasing after Andy, he is. And send Obi-wan in after him I will, afterwards." Yoda said and the entire council nodded to the orders sternly in relief then.
"We should have thought this through, before he exposed himself to Anakin that, this, month, but live and learn right now, we can fix this easily." Damon said and Yoda and Mace nodded in agreement as Obi-wan sighed in relief. "Like Andy said to me, when he left me, he was but the learner, now he is the master, but only a master of total evil now." Obi-wan said and Anakin nodded. "There's the side panel, they thrive on threat and force." Tiana said and Anakin nodded.
"Exactly, your me realized it immediately, I'm 23 years old, in many ways I'm still a padawan, and frankly it was all hero worship, you say, you think you believe, Obi-wan." he said and he smiled in affection. "I understand and I love you too, Anakin." he said gently and Yoda hid a chuckle at that, knowing his young student adored Obi-wan, they were family. "Side effects, but Djem So on Djem So, we're completely even, and you knew this, so only option right now."
"Send in the only one who sparred us both one too many times." he said and Yoda nodded. "Best get your back up, you should." he said and he concentrated and his back up lightsaber flew in, and he quickly turned it on. "Uh huh, the way I'm dressed now, without the braid, is Andy, his orangish red crystals are slowly going ruby." he said and Mace nodded. "Not good, just taking Dooku's life is one act to his lightsaber getting darker." Damon said to this then sternly.
"Every murder he commits in cold blood the thing starts getting darker from his normal reddish orange till it reaches blood red." Anakin said and Mace nodded sternly. "Like I read out, before Bruck's cruel bullying seemed petty only now it was dangerous. Xanatos turned him into a cold blooded killer, Sidious is Andy's Xanatos." Obi-wan said and Mace nodded. "It's Xanatos and Bruck all over again." Anakin said and Mace and Yoda nodded sternly to that opinion then.
"Only Xanatos, a Sithmaster he is, and most dangerous that come into contact, we have now." Yoda said sternly and Mace nodded in agreement. "Obi-wan became Father, I'm in his place, and Andy is in Bruck's, only Andy doesn't realize our Sithmaster is a so called mentor. And a friend, when I kept coming to you 3 for advice." he said and Mace nodded sternly. "It's very dangerous putting him together with the Chancellor, I don't think the boy can handle it now, Master."
"I don't trust him." he said and Anakin nodded gently. "Who do I remind you of at my current age now, after killing in defense and risking repeated injuries to save a friend?" he asked and they looked at Obi-wan then and nodded. "You're your brother at 23 years old right now." Shaak Tii said gently and Mace and Kit nodded in agreement to her opinion then. "I get why Master, but frankly, I need you for emotional support, this promotion to the council and Mastery."
"We have a little more then 5 weeks left and that 5 weeks is going to go fast, so we just do this one step at a time, and make clear Sidious offered it to the wrong twin. As said it couldn't have come at a worse time at the moment, like you figured, I never once in my life. For real ever committed a real cold blooded act like this, ever, I'm under enough pressure as it is. But now I'm an expecting father, she's 7.9 months pregnant, but if you guessed: Padme and me."
"Well then you guessed correctly, you knew all along, all three of you had, you knew, but left it alone right now, after mom's loss?" he asked and they and Obi-wan nodded gently. "Indeed we knew Padawan, but if she helped you heal, and made you happy, we leave you. And to your happiness, it was time, now that you told us she was pregnant." Mace said and he nodded. "I know, we tried keeping this a secret and you still figured it out, time to come clean to you."
"The mother in question is a very dear friend to both sides, as a master, you have access to the restricted archives, I wanted to do some research. Force healing and whatever in turn is causing these premonitions to go berserk right now. So part of the facade, one twin you gave the knowledge to, the other chose the quick and easy. Crashed and burned, his possessive love to the other twin's wife the catalyst." he said and he, Mace and Obi-wan nodded in understanding.
"Looks to me he, said twin hated me, for this reason, since before your brother I was youngest." Mace said to him. "And that's what happened here, one twin he got, the other stayed strong and sided with you, after I got back I went looking for you. You survived the blast out of the window and were waiting for me, as you revived everyone. Alerted Master and Obi-wan what happened and Obi-wan came looking for me so we could take out Andy." he said and he and Yoda nodded.
"Nice rewrite there, I knew you were on your way back now, and told you I found Sidious." Mace said and Yoda nodded. "And chose the wrong moment we had to leave, Obi-wan and I had at the time now, if stayed, filled us in, you had and in exchange for our help. Do the mission we assigned you, so not give and take, part of your promotion to the council, it was now. That waiting for us to leave he was, to reveal that been standing in front of us he has, all this time."
"Very well then Anakin and fix this mistake we can now, so only wanted promotion to Master, to gain access to the restricted section. Very well now, granted access you will be, but a few more years experience and finish Ahsoka's training, then make master you will." Yoda said and Anakin nodded smiling in relief then, knowing his being honest was the key now. "That's what just happened, Tahl, or Qui-Gon, shot us back to when you got put on the council right now."
"We can fix this mistake and you stay a Jedi?!" Obi-wan said and he nodded, smiling. "Yeah that's exactly what happened here Obi-wan, so now that we had, you were asleep through it. But he ordered me, or rather Andy, to kill Dooku, but I knew you would say not the Jedi way, but Dooku was the first sacrifice to Andy's path to the darkside." he said and Yoda nodded sternly. "Yes indeed, very well, that's why feel guilty you do, for years only in self defense, this time."
"Been ordered to kill in cold blood, must cleanse your heart and soul from darkside now, before further healing is needed, but time for the truth now. You told us before our memories returned to now, why come to me, you did this morning." he asked him and he nodded gently to him. "Yes okay, Master, Brother, my nightmares are on Padme, she's pregnant, we're married, said dreams are like mom, again." he said and Yoda nodded in understanding, as Obi-wan nodded.
"It's not just them, but the Raiders." he admitted and they nodded sternly. "If not for his distracting us, we could have created a detour, investigate your vision. And saved your mother, as I tell you now, that your vision was correct and we saved her now." Obi-wan said sternly and Mace nodded sternly. "Hence the jolt of absolute agony and anger shooting through us, in the council, you got there too late and did a Nomi." he said and Yoda nodded as he said it gently.
"And for this reason exactly attachments were forbidden, can be used against you, they can, but in order to lessen that fear, allow access to the restricted section. We will and study dream alchemy, force healing and force judgement, you will, Sidious, tampering. And with your visions he is, Padme, fine she will be, just gave you what you wanted now, I did. Accept the mission to spy on him, till send you to Utapaa we do, please Anakin." Yoda said and he nodded gently.
"I will, and I'm staying a Jedi, so split the difference, you gave me what I wanted, I stayed a Jedi, and learned to be a Jedi healer now. Andy, he took the quick and easy and lost everything, I'm the real Chosen One, chosen to be the patriarchy. And of the first ever Jedi dynasty in the history or the Jedi Order, I'm not ready for Mastery. I never finished her training, that's a key fact, but years and experience." he said and the council nodded in acceptance then gently.
"Saying of which." he said and turned on his frequency to his apprentice. "Yeah Master?" she asked and he smiled. "Ahsoka, listen to me carefully, but last year's bombing, Offee turned on us, and we only played along, make our Sithmaster think he had Anakin. But we never let you go, part of the facade, to expose our Sithmaster." Mace said and she smiled in relief. "Then when I come home, I'm returning to Master Skywalker's side." she said and he nodded.
"Agreed, he's finishing your training, when the twins are 12 you're done, the mother is Padme, they're married, have been since the war started." Obi-wan said and she nodded. "First student, and then baby becomes the next and I'm his previous padawan. Fair enough, to keep the team together, that we trick our Sithmaster into a false sense. Of security, I'm on the trail of Maul right now, call you when I have him." she said and he nodded.
"Understand we do, and meet us at the rendezvous point, at these coordinates, you will." Yoda said and tapped in the coordinates for Polis Massa and she nodded. "Understood Master, Masters Windu, Yoda, Obi-wan, see you in a few days." she said and they nodded. "You as well, may the force be with you." Anakin said smiling and she nodded. "May it with you Master." she said and he nodded. "Master give me 11 years." he said and Yoda nodded gently.
"Like would say you, the more experience the more wisdom you gain here, but form V is a death trap at times, when your form III peer is a Master of Soresu." he said and Tiana started laughing at that remark and nodded. "Well our best Djem So stylist, you are Anakin." Yoda said with a gentle smile at him. "Well I'm me again, just 46 trapped in my 23 year old body now, so another 4 years left, and Knight for 6 years." he said and he and Mace nodded in agreement gently.
"Indeed, you're not ready, just yet, you have to finish her training, before you make master, and start training Light now, so two padawans and defeating two more Sithlords." Mace said and he nodded smiling. "We made our peace Mace, consider this a fresh start between you and me, you trained me well, and that was Andy doing the talking earlier. I'm a 23 year old padawan, finishing my training." he said and Mace smiled, seeing the him he remembered as a teenager.
"Another 3 to 4 years training, training Ahsoka and we train in the shadows, of raising our Order, let Sidious think he wiped us out, and then Luke destroys the Death Star. As we return on that and every planet in the galaxy has us acting as their peace keepers again. As for your remark, as you're on the Jedi council, is sum generations all strong in the force. But I wouldn't consider that sacrilege, when the code changed now." he said and Yoda nodded with a bemused smile.
"Like Ahsoka would say very close friend of the family here, I'm closest to you three, Damon and Tiana most of all, their padawans with them, and my unit, our team family." he said and Yoda nodded smiling at that. "Indeed only now it's preventing Sidious from getting his hands on the twins, if they keep coming after your family, then to the Sith. A Skywalker is the crown jewel of their collection of apprentices, and we keep destroying his." Tiana said and Mace nodded then.
"Good enough, we can take care of this, fix it, so our you, you study dream alchemy and force healing, him, he's getting the said Sith legend, although said must be the alien. That dropped into your spaceport when you were younglings." Obi-wan said in relief then now that the truth was out, he knew all along, but hearing it from him helped now and he nodded gently. "We been had here, the second you tried to take him alive, he calls treason." he said to Mace then gently.
"Mace, listen to me, but our Sithmaster is standing right in front of us, you just spoke to him yesterday, Palpatine is Sidious, the Chancellor is our Sithmaster. The one we been looking for ever since Geonosis." he said and Kit crossed his arms then sternly. "So we play it smart, run the clock out, he assigned you as his rep, to drive a wedge between us. But we just jumped his move, by you telling us this and with it, about you and the Senator." he said and he nodded.
And Mace nodded sternly to the news. "But the weapon that Dooku carried the blueprints too, are actually for a super weapon meant to destroy whole planets now. One my kids got their hands on and destroyed twice." he said and Mace and Kit nodded sternly. "So the search and destroy this must be the bring balance, we wiped them out, now it's their turn. So 900 years of peace, there had to be a time of strife and we get it when the Zabrak comes into the picture."
"Alright so there are two options, and I like the second one better, by you playing twins then we cut Andy out of you, and there's our you and his you, who's in that black suit." Kit said and Mace nodded in agreement. "Said final test to make master, Andy flunked it and got cooked on Mustafar." he said and Mace nodded softly, as he looked down, remember how anxious he was for the rank to save her then and then looked back at him gently, as he said it gently to him."
"I accept your decision, I'm still in many ways a padawan, so another 10 years is fine, I can wait another 10 years for the promotion, 5 years a knight, and another 5 till I make master, that's fine, so 4 years to finish my padawanship, under brother and 6 years a knight." he said and Mace nodded in acceptance. "Yes 4 years padawan, 6 as knight, very well, we will do that then in your case, finish your education under your brother now." He said to him then gently.
As Yoda said it gently. "Indeed, 4 more years padawan, 6 as knight, then make master at twins 10th birthday, and study dream alchemy you must now. In truth, and study force healing and force judgement, you will Annie, so found him you had. And before telling Mace, and the trials for Mastery began, same as Luke's it was, Anakin?" he said and Anakin nodded. "Yes Master it was, but I'm a Master Guardian, but Mace is an experienced one here right now, to get it close."
"We nearly destroyed him, if Andy hadn't done that now." he said and Yoda nodded gently, in understanding. "Well pleased and delighted we are come back to us, you have, but time for you to start healing now, it is, fix this moment in time. And we get you and Padme back now and all at once and with you, our Order, Jedi to the end, you are now." he said and Anakin nodded smiling. "Agreed, fix this moment in time, and my family is intact." he said and Obi-wan smiled.
"Obi-wan?" he asked and he smiled gently. "Yes I will take you back and complete your training, if she or he did that they're returning as well along with our lost friends. But 5 weeks, I'm your version of Maul, Sidious is Qui-Gon and their mentor is Master Yoda. The council just gave you your access to the restricted section, and that solves that, as you and me. Nothing changes now, we're still us, friends and brothers, always." he said and he smiled and nodded gently then.
"Always my brother, I love you." he said and he smiled. "I love you too, my brother." he said and Yoda smiled at that, knowing they made their peace, heal their last weeks. Before the purge, and the council would defeat Sidious, as they came back in exactly 19 years. "We just came from 4ABY, which is after the battle of Yavin, which was Luke's activation mission. That's my son's name, Luke, Luke Cliegg Skywalker." he said and Mace nodded in understanding then.
"My daughter, her name is Leia, she's engaged to Lando's best friend Han Solo." he said and Damon nodded in understanding then. "They been using your ship, Damon, the Falcon went from being a team family, to family completely now, ship." he explained and they chuckled and nodded. "At least the girl is still being used, but her that old, you try to fix one thing, and three others start acting up, I hope he put in some upgrades." Tiana said with a chuckle gently then.
As Tru looked into his eyes. "That's not you as I know you, Anakin, what just happened here?" he asked and he smiled. "Forty six year old me is back." he said and then said it. "Whoa, yeah back in my young adult body again, only I just shoved my appearance back another 3 years. I'm a padawan again, and we're our team once again, brother?" he said and Obi-wan nodded. "Yeah Anakin, we're back alright: the Skywalker/Kenobi team are back." he said and Anakin smiled.
"Yeah we're back, Return Of The Jedi, well your highness, seems my baby boy was right, I will never turn to the darkside, you failed your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father, my brother, before me, just wait Sidious, we will return and when we do, you face your end, at my hands." he said sternly and Obi-wan smiled at that, knowing the younger man was back. "And truly is his father's son, Luke is, my apprentice, there's the you, know we do." Yoda said and he nodded.
"Sidious is Palpatine, the Chancellor is our Sithmaster, Master Yoda, we're doing this smart, but I should have told this to you directly, before we did anything. Then we can plan it out, but our souls back in these bodies…." he said and Yoda nodded sternly. "Indeed, play it smart we will, and not lose anyone, but the code, changes tonight, but allow Jedi to fall in love. And marry I will, take on Grey Jedi code and create team trios we will now, and as for Emperor Palpatine."
"As said did I, hear I have a new apprentice, you have, Emperor Palpatine, or should I call you, Darth Sidious." Yoda said as he looked over his shoulder at the arena sternly. "And now we got a name your alter ego can go by, Andrus, nickname of Andy as I told Luke. Andy, who was a pupil of mine, till he turned to evil, helped the emperor hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights. He betrayed and nearly killed you, Annie." Obi-wan said and Yoda nodded sternly in agreement.
"Your age group, by the time the twins are entering 20 are getting to old for this Obi-wan, as is Father's age group, but in my case, I'm still considered a Youth at 46. But my powers have quadrupled, since my fight with Dooku last night." he said and they both nodded. "As said I did, that your his own cause of destruction, but stuck in said suit right now. Lost 50% of of your force connection, your brother weakened him, go that way, we do." Yoda said and he nodded.
"To put that another way, his faith in my never turning on him is misplaced, as is his faith in the darkside, I only used him for his power, and then when time was right. He's destroyed, only this was not cold blooded murder, but vengeance for killing the quartet. I was blackmailed, I had no choice, but Vader drained me enough emotionally, to protect my family. But if he got his hands on the twins, and we're done for, there was no other choice, Master." he said and Yoda nodded.
"Quartet, who did he kill exactly if you're saying that?" Mace asked and he looked down and Mace nodded, knowing he meant him and whoever of the council came with him. "In trying to arrest him, he killed Kit, Agen and Saesee, before you and he got into heated fight. You nearly had me convinced, but Vader overwhelmed my control and cut your wrist off. And he blasted you out the window." he said and Mace nodded. "I get it, it's okay." he said and Yoda nodded gently.
"Understand I do, and not your fault this is right now, but fix this we can, but doing it carefully now, as for your remark on who was killed, before you. As Vader, got into it with your brother he did, not quite vengeance it is, but destroyed the Sith. And like prophesied now, we have, but not in the way expected we had, but fix that we can now. As split in two you will be, everyone we lost, all put themselves in suspended animation." he said and he and Obi-wan nodded gently.
"Yeah Master, we both, we all, know I came back to you in the end, we change things from this moment on and I complete the prophecy on one side of it. Luke and I finish it in 23 years time, but we start making changes and start packing up, our hiding place is Yavin." Anakin said and he nodded. "Indeed, change things from this moment on, have 7 weeks we do, till the birth of the twins now, so twins play you will, our you is Annie, bad you is Andy." Yoda said and he nodded.
"So we created his alter ego turned twin brother, we know who's who, and tell this to the twins, they heard the story for years, based on our interpretation. You as yourself are my best friend, you were with me on Utapau, Andy was here and swallowed the fish hook. Betrayed you by supposedly killing our friends here at the temple, and when you confront him. He barely killed you, till Leia calls him by name rather then Darth Vader." Obi-wan said and he nodded gently.
"Guys the said flash forward, well I ended up on Dagobah and heard you trying to talk him out of leaving, but if I'm there and even I can't stop him, impatience training. As you said, and did you save them, seems to us they were the ones that had to save you. And after I cut my way through the storm troopers, get her lightsaber back, we warned you about impatience." he said and they both nodded. "Indeed, a dangerous thing impatience is." Yoda said and he nodded.
"Well we know things are back to normal, you and me are back to working as a team again here, and with that in mind, our last exchange before Sidious separated us?" Anakin said and Obi-wan nodded in agreement to that. "Over the elevator you mean and your communicator was busted, after the crash landing?" he said and Anakin nodded smiling. "That's one thing, try getting the kids off the damn thing, and getting back to the cargo-bay." he said and he nodded.
"This is getting Sidious off the ship last night, and you're doing the driving." he said and Anakin nodded as he hid a chuckle. "Yeah it's us all over again and Luke, is adjusting to our SOP when on missions, only it's getting his sister, and we yanked out the exchange. That we used during this, before the war ended only now, we're inseparable and Sidious realize we're back now. His biggest enemies in Jedi have returned, with a new generation added." he said and he smiled.
"Just relieved that we got you back, my brother." Obi-wan said and he nodded, seeing his 46 year old self shining in his blue eyes then, Yoda smiled gently then. "As said I did to Luke, that know you quite well I do, raised you I have, powerful Jedi you are. But at times impatient, but your twin, even more so now, my apprentice, the you I know shining in your eyes, I see. Missed you so I have, my apprentice." he said and he smiled as he looked between them with love.
"I'm back, the Chosen One is back once again." he said and switched it on, and the crystals had turned dark purple completely and the duo smiled. "Like I said, I got to check one of my back ups at the apartment, though the Rebel leadership are there and see that. And Bail also got thrown back to now, he knows that Andy is spending who knows how many hours. There at my house with my wife, and leaving his things lying around my apartment." he said and he nodded.
"Tru, I'm giving us a second chance, you, Ferus and me, I'm giving us a second chance, but the implication is aimed at my alter ego, and not me." he said and Tru looked at him, feeling his heart raise at that. "You mean that, you're willing to give us another chance after that stunt?" he asked and Anakin nodded gently. "I am, but right now, we have work to do, but I'm opening up my inner feelings to you, I'm an expecting father, I'm married." he said and Tru nodded quickly.
"Padme Amidala is my wife, we been married 3 years, during my furlough 8 months ago she got pregnant, I'm an expecting father. The twins are due next month, at the end of the month, but Master Yoda, Obi-wan and I are the last of the council. But as I'm holding Master Plo's position till he gets back, I'm, like Siri was to Adi, the padawan of a council member. Obi-wan made council, I'm in training to them, but to pull this off, I need your help." he said to him then gently.
"Done, to make amends right now, I'm being demoted, and we bring back Ferus, like he said, if we ever needed him to come back, just give the call, we're keeping that promise." he said and the adult trio smiled at that remark. "Master, Mother, I take back my position, I want to be a padawan again, rejoin the team, I'm coming home." he said and Tiana nodded to him gently then. "Very well I will take you back, my son." she said and he smiled at the decision in relief.
"Just call me Annie starting now, guys." Anakin said and they smiled and nodded to the request. "To recap things from the next 6 to 7 weeks, is after you refused my appointment to master now, Andy was beyond resentful at this. He wanted the power to save who he loved, and after a summons to the opera house, Sidious told him said Sith legend. Darth Plaeguis, before he separated us by the mission to Utapau, before he revealed himself after Obi-wan and Yoda left."
"Our Sithmaster was standing directly in front of us, for 13 years, he's been hiding in plain sight, everything was him, till this moment." Anakin said and they nodded in shock. "The Chancellor, turned Emperor, is Darth Sidious." Obi-wan said sternly and they nodded. "So we been had, the Republic has been in the hands of the Sith all this time, just like Dooku said?" Shaak Tii said sternly and he nodded. "Dooku would've told me last night." Anakin said to her at that gently.
"So you're right, the Chancellor is the Sithlord?" Mace said and he nodded. "More then actually Mace, he's the Sith mentor of the Zabrak that killed Father." he said and they nodded in fury. "As after he revealed himself to me, I turned this into you, and Andy ate the fish-hook now. But a direct assault with more then one master, is going to kill the others, so 2 tests of strength. And then leave him to me, because he's going to be 95 years old by then." he said and he nodded.
"So me and Master and with us too old for this, you do it." Mace said sternly and Yoda nodded in agreement. "Indeed that is what meant we do, Mace, Luke is facing Andy and learns the final lesson, just as gets ready to fire, Sidious, Annie is taking his hands off and kills him finally." he said and they nodded. "Time to finish what we originally started Master, only I'm a Jedi master and I fix what Andy caused, I belong to you, I'm back." he said and Yoda smiled sternly at that.
"He had me fooled for 14 years, but not again and never again Master, I will finish the prophecy and we will return when the time is right, Padme and I are alive. You never lost either of us, and my family is intact." he said and Yoda nodded smiling. "Indeed, be what you are now, we have returned from the force now and pay he will now, Anakin." he said and Anakin nodded. "Yes indeed, at an end his rule is, as for my lightsabers, a test." he said and they nodded, smiling.
"You created 60 lightsabers in 13 years and half the 60 are his, so as you said, you in purplish blue, him in red." Mace said and he nodded gently. "And one very bad side effect, if the circuit gets crossed, it's like a blaster going off, but he never checked the crystals themselves. So out of his 30, we had 5 duds, and he packaged 90 crystals." he said and Shaak Tii started laughing. "Meaning we heard that 5 times from your bedroom, Annie." Mace said with a bemused smile.
"You remember, 'who did it this time' 'He did' 'no I didn't' 'did to' 'didn't' 'did' thunk, 'alright guys break it up already, and I don't care who started it, I'm ending it." he said and they nodded as the duo were shaking in laughter at that. "Before, 'alright young man, how many times have Cin and I said to be careful in how you build these exactly. You know you keep that up, you're going to blow the door off it's hinges, now focus please.'." Mace said bemused and Obi-wan chuckled.
