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 8: Preparations And Counter Strikes V
"Why the orange lightsaber then?" Mon asked and he explained that. "She's a sentinel, espionage now, they're yellow." he said and she nodded as she looked at the red. "So she and Master Windu are like you, you're bordering on purple, so a chief guardian. With the ability to control the evil in your heart and throw it into your fighting skills. But let me guess, Andy had a dangerous interest in the darkside after your father was killed?" She asked and he nodded then.
"Uh oh, that can't be good right now, do Jedi use red?" Bail asked and he sighed. "Rather then Ilum, there's a cave on Dantooine, with every color possible in crystals now. But like me, he copied me in everything, I created 30, he creates 30, I study Djem So, he does. But when he went there, he gathered 90 red ones and created a red one." he said and they nodded. "But I'm a Guardian with Master guardian like tendencies, which explains this." he said, turning his on.
And they saw blue with a deeper purplish blue in the middle then. "Andy." he said, switching the other back on. "So you in purplish blue, him in cherry red now, okay got it, and young man what the hell do think you're doing, she's not your wife, she belongs to Anakin." Rieekan said sternly and Bail and Jan nodded sternly. "I'm a Rebel, the old fool is about to create the Dictatorship here, said called the Galactic Empire and use up the clones till he drafts ordinary people."
"But my wife is the leader of the Alliance reps." he said and they nodded. "This one is my you, the red is your twin brother, and he's leaving his equipment, lying around our apartment." Senator Padme Amidala said sternly then and he nodded. "Andrus, I am not your wife, I love your brother, find someone else." she said sternly and Bail nodded, bemused. "Our sabbatical cemented things, but Andy kept getting in trouble, he was the one that took out said village."
"I was protecting you, but me-me was with you, he-me did said village I explained to you." he said and she nodded. "Mom?" she said and he nodded. "Oh great, Andy is trying to stake out the apartment, I live here, she belongs to me." he said sternly and she nodded. "That's Andy's back up lightsaber, you made 60 in the last 10 years honey." she said and he nodded. "Half the 60 belongs to him, mine are purplish blue, his are red." he said and she nodded in understanding.
"Takes 3 crystals to build these, 60x3=." he said and they nodded. "That's 180 crystals and let me guess they change color to match your soul, Adi was controlling the evil in her heart. But was sentinel now?" Mon said and he nodded. "Yep, as a result, Mace and I are the rest of an endangered species here right now, but he's like me. A Guardian, she's a sentinel, and Siri is a shooting star, hot pink near violet, my strength to fight." he said and she smiled in affection.
"So we know who's who now, and Andy is leaving his things lying around your apartment, while your's are in the bedroom, along with her blasters." Mon said bemused and he nodded to her then. "To protect her from Gunray and Dooku, we had to keep silent, even from you, our friends, we're sorry, but they find out she's pregnant we got the target on our backs." he said and Bail gripped his neck gently in understanding. "It's okay, but it's out now." Mon said to him gently.
"You knew I had a connection to him and Obi-wan, but deeper then you realize, we tried to hide it to protect me, after Gunray." Padme explained and they nodded. "It's fine and thank you for telling us." Commander Davish Jarredson said to her and they nodded. "But honey remember when you told me what you thought of forcing them into something by fear. That's what's coming, he's about to strong arm your planets into submission." Anakin said and they nodded.
"From democracy to dictatorship and back again." Mon said sternly and he nodded. "It's worse, but once he betrays the Separatists we got a much bigger problem here now. All these aliens are combining together and going after whatever he created, and wiping out all humans." he said and they nodded sternly at the reveal. "Well we knew the old Jedi all our lives, that helps, to know you're more then any hotshot politician thinks you are, you even deal with smugglers."
"Spice smugglers, what's wrong with that." Ackbar asked gently to that. "Exactly, the council is joining you in the war with him, but I think he and our Sithmaster are one. One and the same, so you need Jedi." he said and they nodded in agreement. "Agreed, we need Jedi, you as Jedi and we, as senators, have been friends for years here in truth. So you and Padme, combined, make us now, the Rebellion Alliance." Mon said smiling and the sextet nodded in agreement.
"You also know who the father of your star pilot is now, I saw the future here now, seeing our kids and my daughter's husband, Damon's grandson, and their co-pilot, a wookie. But before the trio can move on, we need to pay his debt off." he said and Bail nodded. "Fair enough, we pay him off, before he brings weapon plans to our base, as they can move on. And stay with us, your family intact now and we travel together." he said and his military leader nodded in agreement.
"Carl in truth, with our children being your future hope in the Rebellion against him now, you knew me for years to know I was training my son. Obi-wan has my daughter now, but we been in hiding for 7 years, the plan is they get the entire 8 years of basic training. And then from 12 to 19, separate and Courage is on your planet, Light on mine. I'm furthering Light's training, but after being stuck on wherever, Light's starting advanced, so MIA." he said and he nodded then.
"Light, I remember Padme telling me the meanings of names on Naboo, Luke, Luke is Nabooian for Light." Bail said smiling and he nodded. "While Leia is Nabooian for Courage, so Courageous Light, a new hope for the New Republic, once Palpatine's gone for good." he said and they nodded. "It got worse, Palpatine is a Sithlord, more accurately the Sithmaster, we been looking for, all of this was a Jedi trap, we're also rebelling." he said and the Rebel leaders nodded then.
As her counterpart looked at her stomach. "His furlough was 8 months ago, he's the father?" he asked and she nodded. "We're due in two months." she said and they smiled and nodded. "With Light carrying my surname you know who the father was as a teenager to young adult. Well now you know who the mother is." he said and the committee smiled and nodded. "Luke huh, okay Light then, what's the smile for, Annie?" Padme Amidala asked him then and he smiled gently.
"We're having a both, the younger of the twins is a girl." he said and she smiled in delight then and the committee smiled at the news. "Master did a fast status check after I realized what this morning was, and saw us together with the twins, her boyfriend. Damon's grandson and their wookie counterpart, the boys are also with us, they redid their positioning. With the twins, Artoo with me and Light, Threepio with you and Courage." he said and she nodded smiling gently.
"Turns out there are 80 Jedi masters in the order, and only 7 are on the council, the others are training the younglings, so I make master at their 10th birthday. We separate 2 years later and they begin Jedi training in padawan, Light goes to Obi-wan, and Courage. If Siri was still alive goes to her, but our partner pair-up, if the Gallia/Tachi was still alive. Currently, this explains my hair, I resigned my status." he said and she and the committee nodded in understanding gently.
"I take it your alter ego got offended here?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah till I thought over why this was necessary, we're doing that conversation in the morning. But me-me, I decided after the level of interruptions here by Palpatine's changing things in the senate. I'm, after the war, is over resigning my appointment to knight and being demoted right now. I want another 5 years and make master at the twins 10th birthday." he said and she and Bail chuckled then.
"Decided on being a padawan again, did we?" Mon said, smiling and he nodded. "Yeah I resigned my appointment to knight, because once the war is over, my counterpart. In padawans, she's 26, she's from Kegan, she and I are returning to training right now. When it was most pure, age of choice in the 20's was 26, borderline 27 and for graduation to the trials. So I got another 5 years left, as for Padme and me, they know." he said to her smiling and she nodded then gently.
"She's your consort or your…." she started to say and he nodded. "My wife, we got married at the start of the war after my mandate started." he told her and she nodded smiling. "Three years and she's due next month, so maternity leave starting now." he told her and they nodded. "Baby, I just uncovered a piece to why he put me on the council, he's trying to spy on them, he's either Sith associated or worse." he said and Padme nodded sternly at the news then.
"Gets better, but you remember my clothes when I was a youngling still, not mine per se, but Obi-wan's when you met us, Obi-wan dressed in a white with chocolate brown robes?" he asked and she nodded. "That's my idea, the way I'm dressed currently is my alter ego turned twin brother, Andrus, nickname of Andy." he said and they nodded as they smiled. "And when dressed like Obi-wan you are my Annie, I understand." she said and nodded as she hid a smile.
"In terms of personality traits here right now, was everything you remember on our furlough together, I was Obi-wan in personality. After you said he was making you feel uncomfortable, with the intensity of the look he gave you. I stepped in and you buried your head into my shoulder, as I gave him a warning look. You fell in love with me, before he tried to seduce you, that night, and you chose then, you chose me, I'm your soulmate." he said and she nodded.
"By that mean when Palpatine assigned you to me, but nice wording, he's acting like that around me was making me very uncomfortable. When you were around I felt safe, as you're everything I'll ever need." she said and alliance leaders exchanged smiles at that. "The Council agreed to a group meeting between both sides, but we're called the Rebellion Alliance now. Fighting to free the galaxy from a dictatorship, lead by the Sithmaster, Darth Sidious." he said and they nodded.
"Honey with my ranking I'm a Jedi general helping Carl here if we have to hide on an ice cube next." he said and she nodded as Reeikan started laughing at that. "Point taken son, if baby is just like you, he grew up on hot planets, and hates snow." he said and Padme chuckled at that remark. "Well chosen names of light and courage, so courageous light now, they're the new hope for the new Republic after the dictatorship ends." he said and she and the alliance nodded.
"Luke and Leia huh, nice choice." Bail said with a smile and he nodded. "Obi-wan's their godfather, but Bail, as you're my wife's best friend, I need your help here." he said and he nodded gently. "It's fine and I will Anakin, you have my word, I'll protect the girls with my life." he said and she smiled gently at that remark. "I took a step back, back on padawan, so me-me, I'm with Obi-wan on wherever Grievous is hiding, Andy is here." he said and they nodded gently.
"And till we clone your alter ego and Andy is walking around in the flesh like that." Reeikan said sternly and he nodded. "Yeah I never forgot you're also from Alderaan, but get Garv and Dave, they're my friends in the fleet." he said and Reeikan nodded, smiling. "You got it son, once Garvan sees Luke in action with our future version of your Jedi fighters. He knows he just gained your aptitude for being a pilot prodigy next." he said smiling and Mon and Bail chuckled at that.
"Nice, we can tell you apart that way now, so you're playing two brothers, and you, till said mission, are sparring with Obi-wan and Mace until the order goes through. Let me take a wild guess, but the council said you're to spy on the chancellor, but that mission is for Andy." Bail asked and he nodded to him. "Exactly, I'm either with you honey, sparring with the council, to ease my stress or on mission, as my alter ego, when on the capitol." he said and they nodded.
"While you, as Anakin, are on mission with Obi-wan on wherever Grievous was sent now, we understand." his black counterpart said smiling gently and he nodded. "The you we know is on mission with Obi-wan and Andy keeps coming to me because the stress of said dreams. Are starting to get to him and he, after losing Shmi, is scared he'll lose me next, you. As my Annie, did the correct thing and told big brother and the council." she said and he smiled and nodded.
"Issues when you know someone all their lives, the impression is permanent, that we always thought that Vader nearly killed you and hated him for it. And even more then we hated Sidious, whoever he maybe." Dodonna said and he nodded. "Well it was close, but the confrontation resulted in the bodysuit, but Andy took off both legs and my arm. And Obi-wan removed those same limbs and he landed too close to the river: Mustafar." he said and he nodded sternly then.
"Serves him right, he gets the bodysuit, you get your limbs grown back, by then the council is getting too old for this, only you can stop Sidious. Especially if he and this new leader are one and the same." Mon said sternly and he nodded. "They are, that's his new rank, Emperor Sheev Palpatine, he and Sidious are one and the same." he said and she nodded in fury. "We been in Sith control for the last 13 years?!" Rieekan said and he nodded and they nodded sternly then.
"We were, and Mace is about to expose him, as all Sith and Dark Jedi carry a single signature, blood red lightsabers and sporting molten gold eyes, when fully under the darkside. Sith are the alter ego of a Jedi, every animalistic trait and thought when unspoken here now. Goes into a Sith, because they're addicted to using the darkside, it's a slavery, and I narrowly. Now, escaped being thrown back into those shackles, by light and courage." he said and she smiled in relief.
"Nice choice in names, we know who the parents are now, because you revealed yourselves to us now." Mon Mothma said smiling and he nodded. "My ranking as a Jedi is what Mace is, remember: purple lightsaber?" he asked and they nodded. "Control the evil, the red, in your heart, and yet a guardian, blue, so purple, I'm a younger version of his color. But as powerful as he is, and as wise as Master Yoda, I'm Obi-wan as a young adult." he said and she nodded then.
"Love big brother?" she said and he nodded smiling. "In truth I idolize him, he's my best friend, though Andy loves him, our Zabrak was the master he secretly wanted, a way to power." he said and she crossed her arms then. "So Sidious is his version of your father mentor, our Zabrak is Obi-wan and he's you, we understand, only how many times we got to kill that Zabrak." Rieekan said sternly and he nodded gently to him as he and Padme exchanged stern looks then to this.
"With the way this is going, it's going to take doing a Mustafar to get rid of him for good." Padme said sternly and he nodded in agreement. "Yeah you're Light's destiny, he's your version of me, in the next generation, but Andy is now, by his Sith alias. The second most wanted man by us, the Alliance, for war crimes that can not be unmeasured. But he committed genocide just to save her, that's what's coming, Mace gave me father's notes." he said and the group nodded.
"Uh oh, Andy also fell in love with me, but it was you I married, your children I'm carrying here." she said in realization and the rebel council nodded as they got it. "Though you love my brother, you don't love him like that, he's your brother-in-law and that's all there is between you. I'm your husband, and the father of your children." he said and she nodded in agreement. "I guess Andy figured after losing Shmi that saving me by turning to the darkside is the only way to go."
"But do that you lose me anyway, don't change baby, you don't have to change to save me, you did exactly as I wanted, tell the council." she said and he nodded. "Andy's dream last night focused on you, and I just came back from Master's office. They gave me the notes to learn force healing, Andy's going to consider turning to the darkside to gain that power." he said and Bail crossed his arms. "Young man try it, you're under arrest." Mon said sternly to that news.
"Well that explains why we had to get both of you to Polis Massa, Andy barely killed you and Padme and nearly the twins with you!" Bail said and he nodded. "Andy no longer, forever Darth Vader Bail, you knew me all my life, everything you all described to the twins. That's me in my entirety, but Andy had a dangerous interest in the darkside." he told him and he nodded. "And that's the understatement of the century, we all love you." Mon said to him gently at that news.
"We've been tricked?" Bail said to clarify and he nodded. "You all come from non violent planets, he's about to go with the dictatorship, after destroying my council." he said and they nodded sternly in anger. "Bail, Mon, with you guys, you're my kids future, they're joining the alliance later, my son is your version of me, as my title. My daughter, she's like her mother right now, but she's a princess turned senator." he said and Padme looked down smiling at the news then.
"Bail did you…" he asked and Bail nodded. "Yeah I did, it's back, it's all back, I can help out, but that's the you I know again for sure." he said and Anakin nodded gently. "Bail, Mon, Crix, I need your help here guys, but Padme now, she's due in 6 weeks. So we got to induce and then clone her, for him." he said and the alliance members nodded. "So to make it look like she had died in childbirth, while you were killed wherever?" Mon said to clarify and he nodded to her gently.
"Exactly, until the time is right the twins are getting basic training, 3 on both sides here, but when you're ready to yank us out of retirement send the boys to me. So we can check the message, I'm taking our son to my step-father's farm, my daughter. She's becoming Padme all over again." he said and the alliance all nodded sternly in relief. "But when the dictatorship was born, as were my babies, a new hope for the New Republic." he said to her and she smiled then.
"We know the truth now, we don't mind either, now that you told us weeks prior." she said and Padme sighed in relief. "What's that exactly?" she asked and he smiled. "Father's instructional manual on force healing." he told her and she nodded smiling. "Well there's the punchline to what you told me, after you were beyond traumatized Annie." she said and he nodded. "My powers already dwarf his, the irony, he killed the only source." he said to her gently at that.
"Why do you sound like you're 46 years old?" Padme asked and Bail said it smiling. "Because our souls of 23 years into the future, ended up back in these bodies, he just returned. From the darkside and killed the chancellor." he said and she nodded in shock. "So you're a Jedi master and killed the Emperor, he's a Sithmaster, we're free?" Mon said in shock and he nodded. "I am and I did, but the twins, in truth, are their mother and me." he said and they nodded then.
"I was in on protecting the twins, Leia was raised by me, Luke went to his step family, the twins names are Luke and Leia." he said and Padme nodded smiling. "Light and Courage, so courageous light." Padme said smiling and he nodded. "Leia's husband is a male version of you honey, while Leia's like me, so me with the lightsaber, you with the blaster. With them, it's in reverse, him with the blaster, her with the lightsaber." he said and she nodded with a chuckle.
Before she could answer they heard a loud thunk and roar of pain. "Yeah no kidding, where are we exactly?!" they heard and Anakin covered his eyes. "Oh you got to be kidding me, directly after the 8 of us get sent back to now, and now we got the kids arriving?!" Mon said standing up in shock then. "Break cover, they know it's us, to know they're amongst friends guys, they know it's you, me-me is back in my younger body, and their mother is alive." he said and she nodded.
"You spoke too soon baby brother, we got company." she said and he turned. "Hey whoever showed up, can you come onto the terrace please, we're in a rebel meeting!" he said and a group of 4 humans and a wookie appeared and he stood up in shock then, as he saw his adult children and their friends as he said it slowly. "Luke, Leia?" he asked and they nodded gently then. "Hold up right now." Anakin said and the sextet nodded gently at that gently then.
"Got to be kidding right now, I just got shot back from your victory over Palpatine, and you get sent back to now, oh I get it, they wanted you to see how it all happened." he said and they froze. "Baby, boys, listen to me, but you ever wonder what happened to make me change, Obi-wan's version of the truth?" he asked and they all nodded. "That's why the force sent you here, you're seeing me, as they and your mother remember me." he said and she swallowed hard.
"Remember you, we're seeing the entire story, just weeks, before our birthday now?" she repeated and he nodded. "Not at all what you think, but we're turning said story he told your brother true, I'm playing twins, so one twin became a Sithlord, the other a Jedi Master." he said and she nodded, as he tossed her the second lightsaber, and she turned it on. And saw reddish orange and her eyes narrowed as they recognized the tinge. "Vader." she said and he nodded.
"Give it a few more weeks it's becoming his original lightsaber tinge, as you remember, but before we head to come get you we need to make an emergency pit stop." he said and her brother nodded, as he thought it over and then smiled. "Dagobah, we're going to get Master Yoda!" he said and the wookie bleated in delighted happiness. "Yeah rounding up what's left of our original trio, we're coming back after you blow it away." he said and they smiled in relief.
"Return of the Jedi, the Order got reborn, in me and Leia, followed by whoever next, as we're entering our last sum years of training here." he said and Anakin nodded gently. "Luke here you go." he said giving him his and he turned it on, and they looked between them. "Yikes, not till you turn them on can you tell the difference, they're identical twins." Her boyfriend said and Anakin nodded. "I know it wasn't till 6 years he created his color def." he said and he nodded
"I'm not what you think I am at all, this was me, before your birthday, I just got back from the Outer Rim Sieges now, and was alerted by your mother, she was pregnant with you. We're in the final 6 weeks, prior to your birthday." he said and she and her brother nodded. "So if you just removed the scorched vocal cords and the respirator we have your voice as it is now. If that's really you, and not Vader right now." their black friend said carefully and he nodded then.
"Vader's lightsaber is this one." he said, nodding to the copy of his model to him and he turned it on and they saw red and he nodded. "The model your brother had, is this one, before I went 3 shades darker, becoming what we Jedi call a Master Guardian." he said turning on his original copy and they saw the familiar blue glow they remembered then. "We know that lightsaber, it belonged to his father, before he switched colors." his best friend said to him and he nodded
"Guys does this look familiar?" he said, tossing his lightsaber to the boy and he looked at it, turning it on, he saw the blue of his father's lightsaber. "That's my lightsaber, before I switched colors to green!" he said and he nodded. "Yeah well it gets better, but only you saw my ghost now, but hang on." he said and undid his hair and he froze up. "That's you, that's really you, after I freed your soul?" he asked and Anakin nodded as he answered him gently at that.
"Yeah son it's me, but this is what I looked like as a learner." he said, putting his hair back up and the boy nodded. "But learner is short for padawan learner, or apprentice, padawan apprentice, your godfather is my mentor. Remember what I said guys, when I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master, only that's Andy, Vader, talking, not me. To the council he wasn't ready for promotion to master or to the council, your godfather is council member now."
"So Jedi master and council member, I took a step back and went back to being a padawan." he said and the twins nodded gently. "So everything he told me was true, from our point of view, you never turned on them willingly, you did it to save mom?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "Yes, every word, but what my alter ego never bothered to do, in that time-line was simply ask for it. As for help, that in turn, destroyed my life, because it wasn't till Obi-wan engaged the droids."
"The droid leader General Grievous, that he revealed himself finally, after Grievous was dead, my color mentor, Jedi Master Mace Windu came to arrest him. And he revealed himself completely, by a sword fight and killed three other members of the council." he said and they nodded in shock then. "I came to arrest him with Mace, and Vader wanted to take him alive, but this was the choice you made, only you passed it where I failed it, and Mace was killed by it."
"In resignation at this choice, I had no choice, and went against everything I believe in now, to protect you, I had no choice. Because he knew she was pregnant with you, but she, like he, and I, never knew she had twins. But Obi-wan, Yoda and Bail knew this, that if he got his hands on you, the galaxy in truth here now. It would never stand a chance against two evil Skywalkers now, if you fail to the darkside like I had now." he said gently and they nodded in shock then.
"But what you were thinking was not what you came to believe, I just explained this to the alliance leaders as well here. But at first in your version, they knew who the father was, as your surname gave it away, the children of Skywalker. But they never knew who the mother was, although Yoda, Obi-wan and Bail did. Everyone who knew why I fell, were dying one by one, till you had no idea of why I turned." he said and she nodded gently, realizing she never knew then.
"But I was blackmailed by Palpatine, I turn on what I believed in, to save your mother, or he's going to kill everyone of my friends and make public our marriage. As we live in disgrace, our marriage a scandal, we eloped after the Clone Wars started, marrying in secret. To protect her, but the Separatists were just a means to an end, having me thinking I killed her. After giving birth, me as me, I was heartbroken till I realize you made it." he said and she wiped her eyes.
"But having said premonition of said remark, I dropped the bomb on the council, my team quartet, and 5 others, including the temple healer, her apprentice. And several of your godfather's clan group, they know we're married and are expecting you. And don't mind, and we just broke the news to the Alliance leaders and they know now, here. So everything is fine now, creating a new arrangement, you start training at preschool age and at 14 now, separation."
" Five years on your chosen planets, then when your mother contacts me through you, we get you guys back together and back to how you have it. Only now Vader is your uncle, I'm a Jedi and always with you and our team quartet are with the Alliance in travel." he said and they nodded as they exchanged looks, as that sounded fine to the twins and her boyfriend. "So you're my mentor in addition to my father?" he said and Anakin nodded and the trio exchanged looks.
"Now I never saw that coming, it's not what we thought at all." the black man said in shock and he nodded. "Your grandfather looks like you in 30 years kiddo, but your father is 35, your grandfather is my parents age of 57." he said and he nodded. "So 57 plus 23, they're 80 years old now, Ben would be 62 by this point, you're…" he asked and he nodded. "I'm 46 son, but 23 years in the past, I'm 23 years old, but 4 to 5 years left a padawan." he said and they nodded.
"So this is your voice without the respirator, if that's really you?" she asked and he nodded. "It is and I am, but this is me, before Palpatine got to me completely, I'm a Rebel, but before. Now you arrived, I was coming from a council meeting, and the Jedi decided to combine forces. With the Alliance leaders, so Jedi got added to the Rebellion Alliance as well now." he said and she nodded. "It's okay guys, it's us, baby, it's me." Rieekan said and she looked into his eyes then.
"Remember your exchange in front of me, after you told me about your debt with Jabba?" he asked and she and her boyfriend nodded quickly. "I knew you were close to getting together, before I heard a fight between the boys that ended up soaking your quarters. After he turned the system up too high, before we got off the planet?" he added and they all straightened, knowing only one person would know that intel and it was her adoptive father's best friend.
"Followed by after he was recovered enough to leave the tank, you and Chewie went to investigate what he saw, and destroyed it. Baby, you were with me in the control room, and spur of the moment decision, decided to not tell you were he was headed. But Artoo did know, said delirious rambling made more sense to us then it did you now. Because we know it pertains his Jedi training, and that the grandmaster is still alive." he said and she said it carefully at that.
"General?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah baby, boys it's me, you're safe, directly after we were preparing for said mission to Bakura, we got thrown back to now. Your father dropped the bomb, as your surname gave it away to us, Luke, but your mother. The truth just came out today." he said and she smiled in delight as she hugged him and he tightened his arms gently. "Nice timing, as they see the last few weeks, before their due date." Crix said to that reaction.
"It's okay guys, it's us." Mon added and she sighed in relief. "You know us guys, only 23 years older right now." Dodonna said and they smiled at the clue. "Baby just age us the added 19 to 23 years now, you know our voices." Rieekan said and they nodded in relief. "So all of you were part of the rebellion, before you created it?" the boy said and he nodded. "We are son, I'm a currently a Lieutenant Colonel, under her adoptive father's command, that's why I'm here."
"But not amongst strangers baby, but as I said, these crashes don't happen all at once, there has to be a few dozen traumas. That cause it, fortunately, we caught it just in time, and your father never committed that fatal mistake. As your father just told us, the power that can and will save your mother, but your uncle was Vader. Alter ego turned uncle, walking around in the flesh, literally, while your father returns as an adult you." Rieekan said and they nodded quickly.
"You understood what he was saying?" she asked and they nodded. "The Jedi and the Loyalist Committee are the best of friends, so if he was now seeing Obi-wan's spirit. It told him to head for Yoda's location, it meant that further training was needed now. But the decision not to tell you was the correct one, otherwise he knew exactly where he was. But said 2 months now resulted in, as your godfather said, being a dangerous time for you son." he said and he nodded.
"So dad stays himself, the family is intact and we're traveling together, before the following 3 years, we got Vader chasing after us because Palpatine wants me?" he said and they nodded. "Your father is the strongest and most powerful Jedi in history, in our hands his powers can save billions, in Palpatine's, its a thermal detonator waiting to go off. Anakin based his opinion and frankly Vader thinks we all sound like a separatist." Mon said, crossing her arms and he nodded.
"We're friends of your mother twins, your father, like Obi-wan, served us in the Clone Wars, and just now dropped the truth, so we know who you belong to maternally. As the surname gave it away paternally, which is why Garvan said that, he and Dave, like we are. Are very close friends of your father, before supposedly being killed and coming out of a coma." she said and they nodded. "Mom named us, before she die?" he asked and they nodded as he answered him.
"Yeah they chose your names, for the first month everything was fine here, till Vader was given a Sith legend, and till Vader ate the fish hook." Bail said and they both nodded. "That's the betray and you can explain the attempted murder to us in a bit right now. Especially if you said his alter ego knocked dad into a coma." she said and they nodded smiling. "We just hit the last 2 months before the purge, we want the fighting to stop." he said and they crossed their arms.
"To repeat what you guys said, but the current war represents a failure to listen and currently their uncle is closer to the old fool then anyone here. Come on enough already, just ask to end the fighting and allow diplomacy to resume." The girl's boyfriend said sternly and he nodded. "And getting the firm refusal, he said don't ask him to do that, but too late, it's we did already. But we as the council knew your father, your parents, better then anyone right now in truth."
"We knew your parents for 6 years, son, we're the best of friends, your father chose being a Rebel, but we, like Obi-wan and Master Yoda, can tell the difference. And between your father and his alter ego, as we turn his alter ego real and into your uncle. But Vader harbored all of your father's worst attributes here." he said and she and her brother nodded. "So this is you guys 23 years ago, or now, well the term is going to get confusing." her brother said to that.
"Well we know that's you now, General, I remember the exchange between us after I told you why I had to leave, after we just got settled." her boyfriend said and he nodded. "Like I said, a death mark is not an easy thing to live with, but we're paying off the bill on the first day. So you're free to go now, Han." he said and he nodded smiling then. "Your parents are alive, but if your mother has another set, and before both sides come together as one here right now."
"You got the job of protecting them: her, her mother and baby twins now, boys, but your father told me where he and Luke are going. As they're headed for Yoda's hiding place, but we got to leave, before they show up." he said and they both nodded. "Done." the trio said together gently. "Right after I recover, but dad and I are loading our ships with our gear, before we leave now as a result here, but as I did it once, I can do it again." he said and the trio nodded then.
"Well that explains why Luke was MIA, instead of joining you, he was going to finish, or further, his basic training." she said and he nodded. "In your version yes, in this new updated one, you both been a padawan for 10 years, your brother was entering his Jedi trial, but had another 5 to 6 years left." he said and she nodded in understanding. "Great, I can harness my powers from an early age now finally." she said smiling and he nodded as Anakin smiled as he answered that.
"Guys where are Threepio and Artoo, why aren't they with you?" Anakin asked them and she turned and nodded in shock. "No, we left them behind, where are they?" she asked and he smiled. "Looks like for mechanical they can't travel through time, alright rather then where is when exactly, you're 8 weeks prior to your birthday guys. You haven't been born yet in this time honey, it's 2 months prior to your birthday." he said and the twins nodded in shock then to that.
"Nice timing we get the entire story of what caused you to turn and get to know you, so if this is you at our age, let me guess. Then the old fool knows a fully human Skywalker is a perfect weapon against the forces of good?" she asked and he nodded. "Your uncle that goes without saying, but me, as I am, I'm like your brother at this age. But your godfather saw what you see in Luke all the time." he said and she smiled. "Like father, like son." her boyfriend said to that.
"Yeah exactly, but though NFS can't see us, as force ghosts now, Jedi can." he said and the young man looked down smiling. "To which I did, I saw you, as your fully adult self, before seeing you like this now." he said and Anakin nodded. "I'm everything they said, son, the best pilot in the galaxy, cunning warrior, and a very good friend, your godfather meant brother. Good friend is code for love like a brother, and that's baby brother." he said and they smiled gently.
"We're still kids in this time, but we created a new tradition, team trios." he said and the boy crossed his arms. "So if you were with Ben and me when we recruited Han and Chewie as our passage to Alderaan?" he said and he nodded. "He's the parental mentor, I'm the mentor, you're a padawan and you're 19, so you at that age. You had 8 years left and right now, you got 5 years left till you make it to your trials." he said and the twins nodded in understanding to him.
"So what age to what?" she asked and her boyfriend crossed his arms. "You become a true padawan, for one on one at 12, borderline 14, and spend 14 to 15 years. In one on one with the mentor that chose you, at time we choose our own race now, by that I mean human on human. Others is human on humanoid, your grandfather is and was my parental mentor, your godfather my mentor, I'm the youngest of our trio, before you're 12 cubs." he said and they looked down.
"And grandmother?" she asked and he shook his head with a sigh. "You guys are split between our team partnership if she and your godmother were still alive, her name is Siri Tachi. Your grandmother, her name is Adi Gallia, this is the team, before the clone wars." he said, showing them the picture of his team with the Gallia/Tachi team smiling and she smiled. "She's beautiful, Aunt Siri is beautiful." his son said and he nodded. "My big sister." he said and Padme smiled.
"Me too, honey, I miss them too." she said and Anakin nodded gently. "Wait I remember you telling me there was a quartet, who was the partnership between her. And Qui-Gon with exactly honey?" she asked and he smiled gently. "Lando's grandfather Damon and his partner Tiana Merrin, I filled them and the temple healer. As well as the council, in, that we're married and expecting, and they don't mind at all." he said and the committee chuckled at that news then.
"But Light and Courage, courageous light, your names are Nabooian." he said and the twins smiled at the reveal. "So mom was from Naboo, they're like Alderaan." the girl said and he nodded. "The name princess was not an exaggeration, your mother was the queen from 14 to 20, we got back together when we were kids, but she's 28, I'm 23." he said and they nodded. "Explains the nickname, but he's kidding by the mocking." the Wookiee said and he nodded.
"And keep it up and I'm taking the pillow to you next, honey." she added and the man smiled playfully at her and Bail chuckled at that. "As for this, once you give me a chance, you're seeing exactly what Obi-wan told you in all truth now, from his point of view after he got back. But he was being honest, when I left, in the last round, I never knew your mother was pregnant. And with twins, so hearing your thoughts on your sister was a shock." he said and the boy nodded.
"Son, you're the only one that saw me out of the 5 of you, but I was watching you with Obi-wan and Master at my side, you finished what I started at the time." he said and the boys nodded slowly. "I know what you're thinking kids, believe me, but look at your adoptive father baby, remember what he looked like when you were 3 to 10, de-age him the further 6 years." he said and she looked at Bail and smiled in delight then, as he looked between them gently at that.
"But baby, boys, it's me, remember, 'when I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master', son remember our last battle, but 'you were right about me. Tell your sister you and your mother were right all along, you were right'." he said and they nodded in shock as the words became familiar and the boy said it carefully. "Dad?" he asked and he nodded. "Dad, is that really you, your force ghost, this is you at our age?" he asked and Anakin nodded gently.
"Yeah son, it's me this is your mother and you know the sextet, already, just aged 23 years." he said and they looked at Padme's counterparts and smiled in delight. "Mon, Carl, Jan, Agiel, Crix!" her boyfriend said and they all nodded gently as Anakin smiled gently. "Let me guess, you just came from the battle of Endor?" he asked and they nodded. "Son, remember you saw my soul at my current age, well this is the me your mother and godfather, Bail, knows in truth here."
"Skilled Jedi padawan, well on my way to being the youngest Jedi Master in history now, but what your brother does with the falcon, I do that all the time. We lead our troops like skilled soldiers, that's the cunning warrior remark, and good friend. Well he loves me like a brother, baby brother to be exact." he said and his son nodded. "So this is you as Ben, the sextet and Yoda talk about you?" Luke Skywalker asked and he nodded and they smiled as he said it.
"Yeah this is me as your grandmother, my friends and your mother know me, our souls got shot back to now, so just age Ben the further 23 years, and you'll see him as you remember him now." he said and Luke and the duo nodded. "Shot back to now, you mean we just been shot back 23 years into the past, and you did a case of force soul travel. So you do everything all over again, we see you in your prime and see him for what he is?" Luke said and he nodded
And gently to him. "Exactly, but just stay between the temple and the apartment building, do not go to the arena, or he's going to pick up your force signature." he said and she and Luke nodded sternly. "I'm not sure I understand, Anakin?" Chewie said and he nodded. "Palpatine is a Sithmaster, the strongest one we Jedi ever came into contact with." he said and they nodded in shock. "Force lightning!" Luke said and he nodded. "Darkside version." he said and he nodded.
"Kids!" they heard and the trio turned to see Obi-wan walk in then. "Son, boys, remember, after they searched the ship, leave that to me." he said and Han Solo said it gently. "Damn fool I knew you were going to say that." he said and Obi-wan smiled. "Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool that follows him." he said and Leia started laughing at that. "Yeah that's you alright, Ben." Chewie said with a chuckling growl gently and he nodded as Han smiled happily at that.
"And like you said Luke, Ben is great man, I just never had the chance to get to know him." he said and Luke nodded smiling. "My aunt and uncle aged 15 years in living on Tatooine, there, because of the sun and heat, we age faster then we should here. But the last time I was at that cantina, before I was hiding at Ben's house, putting my lightsaber together. Two customers never realized their drinks are incompatible and the glasses exploded." he said and he nodded.
"Like the bartender said, some of these drink chemical compounds are incompatible, put them together and they're going to explode. So be careful before someone thinks that a blaster went off, at least that wasn't a faulty circuit in a lightsaber. That happens all the time, if the crystals are flawed, by that I mean focusing crystals." Obi-wan said to that gently as Padme was shaking in laughter. "Young man that's not a play thing in building it." Han said to his unborn son sternly.
"Then again, we seen these in action, and on one or 2 occasions had to use it in emergency situations, take us needing an emergency shelter. Or you're telling me to cut through the ropes on said trap right now for instance, I seen you in action here. And you're so good, no one could beat your skill, I wish I watched Ben further in the fight with Vader. But if that's 58 years old, how good is he now." he said and Obi-wan smiled at the question, knowing this would work.
As Luke hugged him tightly and he smiled as he pressed his forehead to his and he closed his eyes, as he finished his link to godfather then. "We better fix a few things here, before we lose you again right now." Han said and he nodded in agreement. "Watch it before you get in range of the tractor beam son, because us knowing this in figuring it out. Evidently the Separatist had blue prints to create that and gave it to Palpatine." he said and the quartet nodded to the news.
"But there's another 29 year age difference between us, Han, as such right now here, add the added 19 years to me, son." he said and they looked at him and smiled in delight. "Well getting to know you for you, as now I know what role of a Jedi is now, this I can take. As we got your team quartet with us in traveling, I can get used to being around your friends. Them, his friends and Lando's grandfather and his team partner." he said and Obi-wan nodded smiling gently then.
"The emperor is a Sithlord, more accurately the Sithmaster we, the Jedi, have been looking for, his apprentice was the one that killed your grandfather." Obi-wan said and the twins nodded in shock. "So that's what you meant, I leave too soon, I'm endanger of his mind manipulations the way dad was." he said and he and Yoda nodded gently. "Indeed, meant that we did, but your father, had a flash forward to our exchange with you, he did." he said and Luke nodded in shock.
"Dad you okay, because it takes a few minutes to snap out of it after seeing the future." he said and Anakin nodded. "Wait, would that be connected to said trap on Bespin?" Han asked and he nodded gently. "Yes it did and does, but Palpatine is the strongest, most powerful Sithmaster we ever came into contact with now, it takes a lot of power. Just to resist his manipulations, Vader realized he betrayed him and then ate the fish-hook." Obi-wan said and they nodded sternly.
"Well like you said brother, Sith are our speciality." Anakin said and he smiled then at him as he gave him a hug and he tightened his arms around him. Gripping his shoulders, he pressed his forehead to Obi-wan's and they closed their eyes smiling and the twins smiled. "That's to deepen the connection, your godfather is your father's best friend, adoptive big brother." Bail said and they nodded smiling. "Spring the trap." Anakin said and Obi-wan nodded in agreement then.
"And to repeat this, there's no trouble getting in, but the problems will come when we want to get out, these clone troopers are not as precise. But there it is, but he chose the armor to match the clone troopers, so before he drafted ordinary people. He used clones, our company are being told to ignore orders and your father's pretending to be Andy, to protect my friends. But Master Windu is the one to confront him 2 weeks to your birthday." he said and they nodded gently.
"Obi-wan, was that remark to him really necessary?" Padme asked and he smiled at her as she hugged him. "Like you he crashed in the middle of it, but Tarkin dragged his ship into said weapon and I had to deactivate the tractor beam. Before the kids created a diversion in getting his sister out of there." he said and Mon shook her head at that. "Yeah like we did, they're trying to trace us, till we have a case of gravity shear." Anakin said and they started laughing at that.
"So you and mom were adopted brother and sister, she loves you as a big brother?" Leia asked and he nodded smiling then. "Friend of the family, it was always, to them, Obi-wan this, or Obi-wan that, Obi-wan thinks, I'm officially part of the family, as your godfather baby, son." he said and they looked down smiling as she hugged him and he tightened his arms around her. "My fiance would have been your teacher if she was still alive, but my young adult counterpart now."
"He said if we ever needed him back, just give the call, and your father just did that, arranging a new set up, but Ferus, he's a couple years older then your father. As his age group's version of me, Lana she's like your godmother now, my wife." he said and she smiled. "But to put this gently the way I was acting with your brother now, is me when I was with your father. Like he is now, before his twin put him in medical healing." he said and she nodded in understanding then.
"He told us, the council, Damon, Winna and Tiana, so we're fine with it, but like him, Master and I got it back as well, so last round was a Jedi trap. While this is a Sith trap, and like he said, he's playing two brothers." he said and she nodded smiling and she looked at Yoda smiling then. "It's your grandfather and his partner pair up guys, as well as our medic and the rest of our council. Obi-wan and I are all that's left of our side of our quartet." Anakin said and the quintet nodded.
"It's also about to start going all over the Order next, you're expecting and he's been married the last 3 years." Obi-wan said and she nodded gently. "So everyone in the Order knows, and soon everyone in the Alliance finds out next at the moment. Talk about one match creating a bonfire here right now in truth." Padme said and Bail started laughing at that remark then gently. "Indeed happy occasion, Padme, relieved you are okay I am." Yoda said and she smiled.
"So he just told you now, Master?" she asked, crouching in front of him and he nodded. "Indeed he did, but Anakin in training to join the council he is, but like said he did, returned we have. To now, my 900 year old self inside this body I am now." he said and she nodded smiling. "So we split Annie in two, our him is this him, Andy is ending up in the suit and Mask now?" she said to clarify and he nodded. "Indeed, but not losing you again, we are." he said and she nodded then.
"Like I said, for years you served my adoptive father in the clone wars, is that where we are, the end of the Clone Wars?" his daughter said and he nodded. "Yeah baby it is, this is your father when he was a Jedi, long story, but your father's alter ego is his twin. Is the source of the story I told your brother, everything I said was true, from a certain point of view. One your father fixed by creating a twin brother, his initials are his Sith alias." Obi-wan said and she nodded.
"Name of Andrus Darian Vandel Skywalker, so take the D and V and what do you get?"Anakin asked and they crossed their arms. "Darth Vader." her brother said and Anakin nodded. "Your brother is me at this age, it takes a lot to push me into losing it here right now in truth, honey. As you get to know me, you can distinguish me and Andy as this two months go by, but Andy, Andy is loaded with anger and is power lust driven that everything I needed here for that."
"That study and the final true power, laid in the hands of the Jedi, most noticeably by your Jedi grandfather, Obi-wan's and my father mentor, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. The added side effect is how you could see Obi-wan, Yoda and me now, to him, I have everything I need. Right here, I'm married to a wonderful woman, have two great children, I'm happy here. He wants the power to save who he loves, I just got that power by your grandfather." he said and they nodded then.
"Your brother is me and your father, strong Jedi, a cunning warrior and a good friend, everything he learned about being a Jedi came from us and Master. But this is not that hard, believe, once you exercise your power from an early age, it comes easily. You two started late, that trying to work through it, is hard, start even younger then when your father found me. This comes so easily, you are like you are now, son, but remember the trio." Obi-wan said and Han smiled.
"So this you as their father knew you." he said and Obi-wan nodded smiling. "Indeed, I'm 39, your father-in-law is 23 currently, but I meant every word, good friend. That's code for love like a brother, that's baby brother with a 16 year age difference between us." he said and the trio smiled gently at the news as he looked down and saw Yoda with him. "Master Yoda, yes I remember you at this age perfectly, good to see you old friend." Chewbacca said smiling then.
"Master, Master Yoda, I don't believe it, so I came back to when you were still alive?" Luke said smiling in delight and he nodded. "Eight hundred seventy seven I am, Luke." he said and they smiled. "So 877, plus another 23 years and we just came from Endor, you are, you were, 900 years old in our present." Luke said and he nodded, smiling. "As said I did, know your father quite well I do, that like him, just as impatient at times you are yourself, to know this now."
"But as said I did, know your father quite well, powerful Jedi was he, but impatient, but his twin brother, even more so, everything told you we did, all true it was. But Darth Vader, your father's twin brother he is now, your father changed things, but playing two brothers. Your father, my pride he is, star pupil of mine and your godfather's, well loved." he said and they nodded. "Your father is my star pupil, but our mentor, our father mentor, is him at 59 years old right now."
"Your father is what we call living force, makes friends easily and makes a lot of them, lives in the moment, never thinking about the past and future. Good at preventing fights, and most of all, is a good diplomat, what I did in the Cantina. In prevention of the said fight, he does that all the time, these people are drunk, so if said doesn't work. We have to show we mean business, but that was code for 'think twice friend, then think again.'." Obi-wan said and they nodded.
