The Salvation Of The Chosen One
Warnings: This story is going several weeks back to my previous Revenge of the Sith story, taking place directly after he and Obi-wan get back. It's also going to involve having his adult memories, Obi-wan and Yoda's souls shooting back to that day. So this will be insuring Palpatine is never going to win this, as the twins arrive. And they see their parents for real as young adults, insuring their adult memories are strong.
With this chapter, we got Andy making his appearance and as the story he created becomes true, as they give it a month then. And then release the package for Anakin's mission now, as he goes with Obi-wan to Utapau now. Before coming back as Andy and the story has him switching brothers back and forth. And till we reach the fight, between himself and Obi-wan on Mustafar now, as his bond with Ferus deepens.
This is going to follow Anakin's lightsaber quest color meaning now, so he himself is blue, Andy is red, Anakin has Obi-wan and Qui-Gon as his mentor and family. While Andy is slowly becoming partnered with Darth Maul and Emperor Palpatine now. So from here is Anakin is basic writing, Andy is now in bold and italicized writing. Just to tell them apart here, when he's switching back and forth, as for certain quotes now.
In this case the last chapter focused on Lightsaber construction, Lightsaber forms are being covered on this chapter now. As Ferus and Anakin bury the hatchet and put their quartet back together, also covered in this chapter. Now, is going to be a delay of 4 weeks, before Obi-wan and Anakin head for Utapau. Because they're going to have the chancellor so hated, before he becomes the emperor, it's ending badly for him now.
If anyone remembers the Jedi Apprentice novels, when Qui-Gon Jinn was training Obi-wan, certain quotes are coming from him. Him and Adi Gallia, that Anakin, with his 46 year old mind in his 23 year old body, is using what Qui-Gon would have taught him. So expect to hear more of what they trained Obi-wan's age group in lectures now….
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 15: Lightsabers, Lightsaber Training And Familial Problems
"So my doing and finishing all the repairs they were named off exactly as I said, but Andy fixed the flux aperture, before we left. Before Ferus recharged the cell, till I reminded Tru, that he had to adjust the flux aperture. Just to compensate for the boosted power." he said and Tolan nodded. "I see where you're going with this, but he could have forgot, and that was a good idea in crystals." he said gently and he nodded.
"If that was a good idea, and if he was listening in on our conversation, then why didn't Andy remind me of this. Reminding me here to check the crystals, he saw my hilt damaged, after were on the ship. But Annie immediately checked after Andy fixed the flux aperture, before we left. As Annie reminded me to do that and we took care of it, before going back into battle." Tru said and Anakin and Ferus nodded in agreement then.
"Yeah that's strange alright, he either forgot to tell you, or worse, till I did it for him and made sure to compensate for the power boost right now." Anakin said and Ferus nodded. "Yeah you did what he forgot to do, and came up with a fool proof way to prevent a loss, but she's in a coma, I'm thinking of sabbatical. So just you of the 4 of us now, but I need a few years break, then we'll finish out together guys, I get it."
"But this is a different version to Obi-wan's decision, I'll keep in touch, I promise, just give the word when you need me, I'll return immediately." he said and the duo nodded. "Yeah just us for now, but I can't help but think his personality swap is because he's been hanging around with Palpatine too much. If I didn't know any better, Palpatine is a grandfatherly version to Xanatos." he said and Qui-Gon nodded as Obi-wan winced then.
"Yeah point made son, point made, if he never thought you'd say that about him, he never saw this coming, you're treating him like outsider, the sadistic leader, but Qui' like your father. So that says everything that needs to be said, you're a Jedi, for life." Mace said and he nodded gently. "And nice throw in there at the moment, deciding to remind me that you'd never leave me, after my making that mistake with Father, never again." Obi-wan said and they nodded.
"Ouch, that's a good barb there, that consideration here of that scum is a grandfatherly version to my ex apprentice, baby." Qui-Gon said gently at that remark. "And there's a title we never hear normally from the paternal members in us boy cubs." a preteen said and he looked down smiling gently. "That's because even at my age to the next one up, we're younglings, still their babies and in us human Jedi, baby brother." Anakin said and he nodded as Mace smiled at that.
"If mom was still alive, it's no matter how old I get, still her baby boy, my only family, that's before I became a Jedi was her, but now my immediate family. Said are the Lars's, the Naberries, Padme and of course my team quartet, before my babies are born. The next age group coming in next, you'll be 29 by the time they hit their late teens." he explained and the younglings nodded smiling. "Nice, our baby brothers and sisters." his friend said smiling then.
"Nice wording Annie, that works in planning the twins and their class, before baby twins are born and come in along with their own class." Kit said smiling at that. "As for this right now, I reminded you we have to double case here, but you're right, for 8 years you guys were identical. And suddenly at 17 we can start telling you apart now, as, all because of Palpatine's influence, like you I'm not liking this one bit, but a stunt like this, he's facing expulsion here for this."
"Leaving you here at the academy, as he goes back to Tatooine, but you stay here, as he leaves finally, but everything you have Andy wants, including Padme. Being Obi-wan's star pupil, our trust and high esteem and of course, the love of the woman you both love. And you're the one who's father of her children, counting down the days till you're holding the twins." Mace said and he nodded in agreement. "Yeah I know, I changed as I grew up." he said and they nodded.
"Changed for the better, in fact you know we trust you, as you came up with a fool proof plan here to save us, as for said lightsaber." he said and Anakin nodded. "Uh oh." the next age group down said and he nodded. "Yeah uh oh alright, at this point, the same thought crossed all our minds by this point, just why wouldn't he remind me. Of this after he fixed the flux aperture, or was this to force Ferus out as we got lucky right now at the time, by Annie's intervention."
"Of prevention in preventing it from breaking down and putting himself next to them, next to me and close and though knowing he had a concussion. He had to protect us now, and after my lightsaber goes, he deflected the first shot now. But the second ricocheted off the lightsaber and hit Darra, before his headache hit him, as he collapsed as well. As we headed for home now, but that's what happened here, she's alive, but he's healing." Tru said and they nodded gently then.
"Further update this, as I told him 100 times to watch the construction, you do it too fast there could be an overloaded circuit. And secondly of the two of you, only you got the histories between us, Zan Arbor and Xanatos. Because you're a Master guardian, you're a cadet in training with you a just graduated high school cadet now. Enter college now and the time is coming up soon, you have to leave the nest." Mace said and he nodded gently to the orders.
"Would this be like the histories dad would have told me, of us, Leia and me, only I got the history between you and Palpatine?" Luke asked from behind them and they nodded. "Yeah it does, and your father got in my head, saw the pattern starting to show up. And then called a halt, and told us, we can try again later, but right now, we have to go home. After Sidious blasted him into the wall, and he needs to recover." Mace said and he and Leia nodded to him.
"Alright time for the reveal here right now, as a result, so I'm pretending to be Andy for this one, Ferus, before this has both of you accusing him of attempted murder. And only by luck did I save all four of us as I lay the boom, just in a different variation to your remark." Anakin said and he nodded sternly in agreement then. "Tru!" he called out and he looked at him. "Do you know anything yet?" he asked and Tru shook his head, without meeting his gaze fully then.
"I haven't seen much of you lately since we been back." he said gently then. "I know." he said and Andy sighed. "I'm sorry about the warning." he said and Tru said it bluntly then. "I deserved it." he said and Andy said it gently. "Why did you go to Ferus to fix your lightsaber instead of me, I would have done a better job on it." he said and Anakin said that from behind him. "Without over loading it again?" he asked and Andy flinched at that.
"After 5 duds in lightsabers, how do we know you try to fix it, and the crystal short circuits and kills her by the power cell?" he asked him sternly and he paled at that, in never considering that thought. "You always rushed the construction to these, something Mace told us never to do, Tolan with him right now. But I spotted the problem, and confronted them, and till I got them to come forward about it, as we got off lightly."
"After a fast debate between us right now, I convinced them, coming forward, before it goes in the fight could prevent said censure, because they told their mentors. And I told Obi-wan, so we're off the hook, but the blast damaged the crystals. And disrupted the flow from the power cell the flux aperture. after fixing it, I said it. We were going to have to run further surgery on it after we got back, and only by luck is she fine."
"And anyway I gave it enough of a fix to prevent it from going till the very end of the fight, I found the problem, and the crystals were cracked, and I replaced them." he said and Andy nodded in shock to that news. "And I never went to Ferus, he came to me, before Annie double checked and finished the repair job. And enough we can fix the damage done when we come home right now." Tru said sternly and then said it to him.
"Annie talked me into telling my master and he let me off with a warning for not telling him sooner, it needed more work on it." he said and Andy said it then. "You were thinking about the mission, we were all thinking about the mission." he said and Anakin nodded. "Yeah, before self preservation kicked in here and we decided on a fast switch around to save her right now." he said to him sternly and Tru nodded in agreement then.
"We did our best, guys and Omega is dead." he said, trying to convince him. "Omega is the son of Father's ex apprentice, before Obi-wan Andy, and what Obi-wan now. Never got the chance to head off with Xanatos resulted in Omega's death by his hands. And don't say this is right, that is totally cold blooded, that for a necessary evil here. To kill a living being without a shred of remorse." he said sternly and they heard a gulp at that.
At that opinion and before Anakin crossed his arms. "We all thought wrong, Andy, and as a result of a very close call, Darra is in a coma!" Tru said in annoyance then sternly as they walked away from him then, before he turned to see Ferus. "Ferus." he said and he nodded. "Andy, I take it you heard." he said and Andy looked at him. "Heard what exactly?" he asked him and he sighed. "I'm taking a sabbatical." he said and he looked at him in shock.
"What, why?!" he asked in shock at that. " It's my fault that Darra was nearly killed." he said and he looked at him in disbelief. "That's not true, you couldn't have known…." he started to say and Ferus shook his head as he answered him then. "But I did, I did know, I knew that Tru's lightsaber needed more work done on it. I offered to help him fix it, till your brother finished the repair job, but I did not tell his mentor or my own."
"His lightsaber failed in battle and only by blind luck, did we have the blaster set on maximum stun, as Darra move in front of me. And Annie got his lightsaber in the way of the blast and the ricochet hit her, knocking her into a coma." he said and Andy said it. "But you thought you fixed it." he said and Ferus's blue eyes narrowed. "You knew, you knew Tru's lightsaber was broken, you knew I tried to fix it in secret, you must have."
"Now, seen me repairing it." he said and Andy said it carefully. "I didn't say that." he said and Ferus nodded. "No you didn't, but there are only two of us here, Andy, you have to lie." he said and he sighed. "When we got back, Annie and I took the lightsaber to Tolan Ling, he told me exactly as Annie said. That the blast damaged the crystals and that-that the fusing between the power cell and the flux aperture needed an adjustment."
"Nothing major, Tru might have noticed that, except that in battle, the power drains faster then normal." he said and Andy said it firmly. "I don't see why you're telling me this." he said and Anakin said it from behind him. "Because you fixed the flux aperture before we left for the mission. And you would have known it needed to be rechecked after the power cell boost." he said sternly and he looked between the three of them then.
"You never came to me." he said in response and Anakin nodded. "That's funny." he said and Tru nodded in agreement. "Yeah that's funny alright, shouldn't you have said, 'but I didn't know it was broken!'." he said and Andy said it then. "You're trying to trap me, all three of you are, Tru, I would never do anything to put you in a position…"he started to say and Anakin crossed his arms as he answered him as they exchanged furious looks at that.
"You wouldn't huh, if you wouldn't then you would have reminded him to make the adjustment or change the crystals, because hearing the crystals. I realized the strain from the blast cracked them, as I switched them out, adjusted the output. And finished the repairs, before we did some surgery on that lightsaber. We got off with a warning, but still, it's bitter sweet, she's in a coma, and he's taking a sabbatical."
"But I saw how you had a slight gold glint in your eyes, a malicious look, with you trapped in that shield trap. That there was a chance it could go during the fight, that you knew I knew it needed more work. And that I couldn't get in front of her in time to save her, Tru, Ferus, that there it was now. There was a slight chance it could go then, and to my most immense relief here, I managed to put the stun mode on it."
"And before he fired the blaster at the moment, before the lightsaber went then at the time, but not my brother, no not my brother. I said to myself, my brother wouldn't do that, but then I thought of how wary you were. Of me after Zan Arbor, you knew how I felt about my powers, I was upset, you would want me. Now to look like the failure, the failure of a Jedi I was, that you claimed me to be, ever since Yaddle was killed."
"Even if it meant not saying anything until it shorts out and one, or all of us, are killed by both Omega and the Sithmaster. You would want me to get blamed for it shorting out or exploding, even if it. Now, meant putting the entire team at risk till one of us is killed." he said and Andy swallowed hard as he said it quickly to that quickly at that. "That's not fair!" he said in denial to that and Anakin sighed as he looked at him sadly at that remark
And Obi-wan crossed his arms at that reveal, sadly and with disappointed resignation as he said it to him, as he felt his heart breaking at what they did. "And suddenly I realized-yes, Andy could have done that." he said and the council crossed their arms. "You're looking at this all wrong." he said quickly and Anakin and Tru shook their heads to that. "I don't think so, I think I truly am seeing you for the first time." he said, as he unloaded it to him then finally.
"Do you even see yourself through my eyes anymore here, from the time we were younglings starting Jedi training, from the time Obi-wan found us. The council and the trio raised us, I know we came in late for training, but still. When I looked at you, I felt like I was looking at a mirror, for 8 years from 9 to 17. It was like looking into a mirror, and forgetting until the lightsaber was on, who of us was who here now."
"As we were identical in everything here now, aside from colors, we were completely identical, identical twins. But matching clothes, boot size, lightsabers, since we were younglings, and suddenly at 17 to now. It's you start dressing in this jumpsuit, you're spending 70% of your time right now. And when not on mission at the arena, talking to Palpatine, what's happened to you." he said, feeling the pain at his change grow in him.
"You always had a dangerous interest in the darkside, did that scum get to you or something, because my brother would speak up immediately. What's happened to you exactly, Andy, did being on that planet take away the you I know. Or did being around Palpatine do it." he asked and he turned away from him, as he wiped his face. "Because this continues and I really am an only child, instead of a twin." he said, trying to control it.
As the duo felt their hearts tear at that remark, knowing what this was doing to him, he loved his brother, but right now, the changes after 10 years of Jedi training. The changes, instead of getting better, had actually gotten worse in his eyes, and he felt like Andy was abandoning him. "I think that says it all, but the you he knows would never pull a stunt like this right now, where is the you he knows exactly." Ferus said and Anakin nodded, his eyes broken.
As Ferus wrapped his arms around his around him in a hug and he clung to him. "Darra wake up, please wake up." they heard and Siri jerked at that. 'Gods why didn't we end the mission sooner then this, his idea worked yes, but this is killing him as his quartet is falling apart.' Obi-wan thought sighing, as Ferus pressed his forehead to his and he closed his eyes then. As he tightened his connection to him, as he relaxed then and he looked at Andy with his eyes heavy.
As Tru nodded, as his eyes hardened, as he said it. "That's my opinion as well, I wondered here when we got back I wondered if you knew. I saw how you froze in the tomb, but not my friend, my friend would never do that. But then I thought about you feel about Ferus, how angry you have been, about not being picked first. You would want him to get in trouble, even if it meant exposing me." he said and Andy quickly said it in shock.
"That's not fair." he said at that remark and Anakin sighed as Tru said it for him then. "And suddenly I realized-yes, Andy could have done that." he said and the council crossed their arms at that. "You're looking at this all wrong." Andy said quickly and Anakin and Tru shook their heads to that. "I don't think so, I think I truly am seeing you for the first time." he said sadly, as he turned away from him and as he sighed as he looked at Ferus gently then
"See you outside Ferus, come on Tru." he said and he nodded as they walked away then at that. "Do you see what you have done!" he snapped at Ferus and he nodded. "Yes I see what I have done, but do you?" he asked him and sighed. "I'm afraid for you, you think admitting you're wrong makes you open to attack." he said and Andy said it. "That's not true, I think you should save your concerns for yourself." he said and Ferus flinched,
And at that remark. "If the Jedi send for me, I will return Andy, I promise you that." he said and ended it at that as he too walked away from him, before Obi-wan came out and did the rest of it with it. "Andy, I been looking for you." he said and Andy nodded. "Do you need me?" he asked him then he shook his head. "No I…, Andy is something wrong?" he asked and he sighed. "Ferus is taking a sabbatical." he said to him and he sighed at that news.
"I was afraid he would do something…, like that, he feels Darra got hurt, so strongly." he said and Andy sighed. "The legacy of this mission is a great enemy has been defeated, I saw him go down." he said and Obi-wan said it. "That is not an act that should bring you satisfaction, young padawan, I took a life." he said to that sternly then. "It was done as a last resort, and it rid the galaxy of a great evil, therefore it was a necessary."
"And right." he said and Obi-wan said it firmly then. "Necessary yes, but right, that is not word to throw around lightly, we can not say it is right, we can only do our best." he said and Andy sighed. "As you do padawan, as you never give less then your best, I'm proud of the Jedi that you become." he said and Andy nodded. "Thank you Master." he said humbly and Obi-wan sighed gently at that as he went further at that remark then gently.
"And I wanted to tell you that the Jedi council has decided they won't speed up the trials for padawans, your knighthood will have to wait a longer. But when the time is right, you'll take the trials, and I have, no doubt you'll astound us all. Until then, we will work together, there is so much left to do and I'm grateful to have you at my side. For a little longer…, Andy are you alright?" he asked and Andy nodded gently at that then.
"There we go right now, that's our story, the entire rewrite of the lightsaber and you're right, until we were 17 when I looked at you together. I felt like I was seeing double, you were completely identical, it wasn't till the lightsaber turned on. That we could tell you apart, when we were on temple rest, but at 17, that changed and not only was it the lightsaber. It's now the clothes as well, as that becomes even more pronounced, you gave up your knightship now."
"He's a knight, heading for self destruction." Tru said and Darra and their clan nodded in agreement to that opinion. "As we grew our tunics darkened to greyish white, but we still stayed white, we're a team, a quartet, nothing changed and nothing ever would now. But now it's we're at the end of one journey and entering the next, that journey just got a lot more dangerous. He's just committed his first true blooded kill and his inner Bruck has snapped finally here."
"I'm Obi-wan in every sense of the word, he's Bruck after nobody, in our parentals, chose him." he said and they nodded. "At least you know I never changed a bit, since that day I decided on going to see Padme, you knew and didn't mind at all." he said and Tru nodded. "Yeah my best friend, your happiness was what mattered in my eyes, but you're still you. But I meant it, I felt like I really was seeing him for the first time ever now." he said and Ferus nodded in agreement.
"Another word for temple rest, we been grounded for a couple weeks for a reckless stunt in training when we had all four of us on mission together." he said in response and the council nodded bemused at that. "And said stunt there would be driving the ATT through the wall and doing it blind." Adi said with a bemused smile and as the next age group down were shaking in laughter. "You being our parentals, that goes without saying." Anakin said and she nodded then.
"We're your parents young man, you don't have to get this reckless, what if someone besides your brothers and sisters was in that cavern." Tiana said and he nodded gently. "And to repeat this, if dad, or mom, find out what we did now, they're going to kill us. By the book this time, because we pull anymore reckless stunts your mothers' going to kill you. And so will our fathers, Annie." Darra said and Anakin nodded as Ferus started laughing at that as the adults nodded.
"You keep this up and we will young lady, that's enough of that already." Tiana said to her and she nodded. "But back together, but you can tell us apart, but I'm married, an expecting father, have great friends, and 5 years time, make it to knight." he said and they nodded. "Well our last 5 to 7 years together, we're not doing this everyday, in these missions, but every month. I mean every other month in group missions here, as we tell our counterparts switch colors here now."
"So the second of the crystals goes one color, and the other is the normal, so everyone goes Grey Jedi till the twins are 19." Ferus said smiling and Qui-Gon and Adi nodded gently. "Yes that works, but again boys, young lady, we're not having that everytime we got a mission. That needs all four of us in teams right now, so take it down several notches please." Siri said and Obi-wan nodded in agreement to that remark then gently as he answered that opinion then.
"Issues, but we, the girls, Ry' and I, can't leave you guys alone for 15 minutes to three hours, before you do something else that reckless, but if you thought we were bad. It's our parents are worse right now guys, so that's enough of that already, take it down a few notches. Before you scare us and them into a heart attack next!" Obi-wan said and the adult quartet all nodded in agreement. "No kidding and again, that's enough of this already." Damon said and they nodded.
"Alright there's our entire story now, not you, but Andy, you came with me, as we checked the lightsaber and Tolan confirmed your suspicions. But I'm Obi-wan two years older, he's big brother/father, me big brother and your best friend. We understand each other perfectly, but we're our mentors in everything that counts, same catch, two years apart. Living force/unifying force, we work well together, it was your twin that had a problem with me the last 13 years."
"Oh good gods, they're identical, red lightsaber, he created synthetic crystals, and these are red now, I remember you saying that you had a vision quest in dealing with Krayne. One in red and his young adult master was the zabrak that killed your father, the other in blue. And you see Obi-wan right now, so Obi-wan and blue lightsaber is you now, red and that Zabrak. Said is Andy, though he loved Obi-wan, he wants power?!" Ferus said carefully and he nodded then.
As they looked at the second hanging from his belt to the one in his hand. "Matching lightsabers, but this one is in red, let me guess that's your normal one, in blue?" Tru said bemused and he nodded and she chuckled at that as he answered that. "That's the real one, the one you saw me always carrying, and since the war, I created 30 more, as a result. And he did the same thing, but the red is still harboring purple, so if he crosses the line fully here, they turn blood red now."
"You knew this, I was so engrained in the lightside nothing could get to me, but he already had a dangerous interest in the darkside. But get ready, the family is packing up our ship, after the twins are born, Ach-to." he said and Ferus nodded in relief. "You remember, I built 20 after repeatedly losing or breaking the blasted things, before he did the same. And soon we had a constant pile up of lightsabers in the bedroom, till you heard an explosion and knew it then."
"That the crystals on one of them malfunctioned and went off." he said and she started laughing as Ferus nodded with a smile. "After re-arranging the bedrooms, the 4 of us were next door to each other, that we were always looking into this, but Lana and I are the oldest. Of the clan, Siri already chose me at 12, you got picked also at 12, and Zonoma Sekot was you. But I knew he was getting jealous, why do you get a lightsaber and he doesn't?" he said, saying his thoughts.
And out loud. "Reason is these are not a toy, but a dangerous weapon young man, you're still in training." Qui-Gon said sternly in response then. "Well you knew if I could build a podracer from spare parts in a junk yard, and Threepio also from spare parts. Then constructing my lightsaber would be a cinch, as mine had the added purplish glow to it, signifying I was a young Master. In Master Guardians and you all knew it, Andy rushed the construction and said primary circuit."
"Got crossed, over loaded the crystals and it was like a blaster going off here." he said and Mace and Qui-Gon nodded with an amused smile. "Yeah I remember that, after Master went to see what happened and you told him the wires on his got crossed and he nodded. Gods you got to stop doing that, before you blow the door off it's hinges, Annie." Tahiri said through her laughter and Mace nodded with a smile at the memory. "That's ridiculous." Siri said with a chuckle then.
"I took 90 crystals from the cave, enough to make 30 lightsabers, and before he did the same thing, and 60 lightsabers in the bedroom. As you knew someone was bound to cross the wrong circuit and it happens finally, after one of them exploded. As you, Master and Obi-wan came to investigate and saw smoke coming out from under the door. As you saw that there were cherry red shards all over the floor and concluded his had a flawed circuit." he said and they nodded.
"Takes three kyber crystals to build one of these, but the challenge was part of the award and you relished going to the planet." Mace said smiling at the memory then. "What took him 4 years to earn took me 2, as I took lightsaber training seriously. But once out of training mode, and I prefer my telekinesis to using my lightsaber, after killing first Krayne and then the raiders. And I understand this better then he does, as you threw me my back up after coming to get us."
"Before that got cut in half here." he said and they nodded. "We know, we remember, you lost the green one, before losing your arm in the process, we just sped up the healing. You were covering Padme right now and I saw a smile on your face, though grieving right now. But I grabbed Andy and kept him with me, you went with Obi-wan after Dooku now. And lost your arm, as he reversed the turn and slashed your arm." Mace said and he nodded gently then.
"Issues with the back ups right now, you do it too quickly something could break down, you knew from my study guide that taking it slow was best. But looks like his attempting to boost the output on the energy cell over spent the crystals. If his exploded and your's didn't right now, Annie." Tolan Ling said smiling and he nodded. "And this is what we mean, unlike him, I actually took your safety guidelines seriously, without getting cocky about it right now in this case."
"But you said time and time again, these weapons are our life, we have to take care of them, it's not me getting all reckless at the construction of these. Or just the sparring until the next one explodes here." he said and they nodded gently. "Let me guess, so he doesn't start destroying the remotes in practice, because you're grounded. And till we learn where Grievous is and you and Obi-wan get sent back out, you had that?" Darra asked him and he nodded gently then.
"You know how impatient he is, but he's my darker personality here, with us on stand down till we get intel on where Grievous is, we're just on sparring practice right now." he said and she nodded as she looked at the lightsaber warily and Ferus nodded sternly at that. "Looks like he's the Bruck of our generation, only instead my being picked on, I'm acting like Obi-wan. Had and done with Master right now, till he gets so annoyed, he sets us up." he said and Anakin nodded.
"Well with us giving this a second chance, now that we know the personality that I made that implication to is not you at all, but your twin brother. A slowly going Sithlord, before with Padme pregnant, he's on the edge of crossing the line now. That you were our best friend, and he was our team, so 5 instead of 4, all fights were him now. As we started calling you by your nickname from the time we were younglings, and the name stuck as adults here." Tru said and he nodded.
"Yeah we gave ourselves a second chance now, and became the best of friends, everyone dead was a clone, so we're okay here." Anakin said and he smiled as he gave him a hug and he tightened his arms around him. "This picture of us says it all." Tru said as he pulled out their mid senior padawan picture and smiled then. "That was me in this book, me that was standing in front of you and Darra, when we were heading for Radnor, but him in said constant fights now."
"So our debates in trying to get to the quartet, I promised I learned the lesson, Andy did not, you were right, Andy never learned anything, I did." he said and they nodded, smiling. "Like I said, he refuses to admit he's in the wrong, it makes him feel weak, you were. In truth always around me, I became your best friend, the lightsaber was Andy, you told the council. And the quartet, for me, and they nearly pulled us out, before she got knocked into a coma here now."
"Force, that looks like your normal one." he said and they nodded. "He modeled his on mine, but we looked the same till we reached 17, after that our situations between us. That's when it got worse, here's the real one." he said and gave him the blue one and he turned it on and they nodded. "So that is you, how we saw you from 17 to 20 dressed in a going black jumpsuit, that is him, but you're dressed in a young adult version to our padawan clothes right now here."
"That's our you, okay we just do this so much we know who's who here." Ferus said and he nodded. "Ferus, in this case I discussed this with Obi-wan and Master the idea is how this is going to look from our memories. In the way Obi-wan explained this to Luke, my son, this, to everyone connected to me, is going to be seen as he turned on us. Betrayed me, and everything I stand for, and the kill me is the sparring match from Mustafar." he said and they all nodded.
"Andy touch him, I'll kill you myself." Tru said and he nodded. "Yeah I know, so I'm leaving dressed as Anakin, come back dressed as Andy, and supposedly leave. And for Gunray's hiding place as Andy, but before I do, I'm coming here dressed as me now. And find the utter carnage, tell Bail to find Obi-wan and Master, you guys try to talk me out of going after Andy. And we go from there, because you all nearly lost me once here." he said and they nodded sternly at that.
"And we're not losing you again, Annie be careful buddy, you know how powerful he is once he's fallen that far." Tru said and she gripped his arm. "We're your quartet of course we're trying to stop you from leaving Annie, he's lost his mind completely, we're padawans, we're not ready." she said, gripping his arm and Tru nodded. "This is too much right now, we knew who of you's which, but the lightsaber is the big one, him red, blue to you." Ferus added and he nodded.
"In Andy's eyes, Obi-wan and me, we're like you, but Andy is so far into his influence. There is no coming back." he said and he nodded. "Was this worth it though Andy, you have all of us ready to kill you for attempted murder of your brother. But your brother is our best friend, but our team is us, you just got cast out our creche clan, blast it." he said to that sternly. "I'll be okay guys, but we're removing the metallic arm he gets the bodysuit." he said and they nodded.
"Group up guys, we're back!" he said and the 12 of them went into their team trios then in response then. "Alright Ferus with you out of action for 4 years, you got another 6 years left, you, Darra, have 7 to 8, and Tru, you got 5, like Anakin." Mace said and they nodded to orders. "This puts our entire clan back together, but same time frame, 19 to 23, the kids were like us, but at one point I was told my daughter spotted two troopers and went to prevent them."
"And from reporting in, Luke went with her and Han tried to get them to wait, before knocking the clone he was dealing with out finally." he said and they started laughing at that. "Really Anakin, we got to get the kids to take it down a notch!" Ferus said laughing and he nodded. "The code got fixed, but we added a new tradition, team trios." Anakin said and Ferus nodded. "Sticking it out together here, your team has my daughter next." he said and he nodded smiling.
"So unifying to living to unifying and back to living, let me guess your son is unifying?" he asked and Anakin nodded. "If I thought you were bad at jumping feet first into dangerous situations, then once I take baby on, she's going to give me a coronary by the time they're 20." he said and Darra started laughing at that. "Let me guess the team separates at their 12th birthday, so 7 years, instead Obi-wan training her, I do?" he asked and Anakin nodded and Mace chuckled.
"Our teams are sticking it out together, but add a few dozen lightsabers these clones start realizing, once they see you, the Jedi returned in full force during the Weapon's crisis. And to prevent that intel from getting back to Palpatine they're being sentenced to death. And the Jedi master training Princess Leia is none other then her father's former rival, turned best friend. As a result, so you guys are helping Leia, Han and Padme on Endor, Luke and I keep him busy."
"Guys I mean all of you, meet up on Endor, after Light's entrance into his trials begins, you're about to give the troopers involved in the trap the biggest shock of their lives. As they see a lightsaber get stabbed through the blast door, and start melting it from the inside out." he said and Qui-Gon smiled at his using his technique to get into the control room to get to Gunray. As his entire clan nodded to the orders. "Spring the trap…" Obi-wan said in a sing song tone then.
And she chuckled at that. "Right we knew this was a trap, and we're springing it, as a certain someone is about to get the biggest shock of all. When they see 3 dozen Jedi amongst the rebel troopers on the planet then realize the Jedi there are part of the Rebellion. Luke turning himself in, was a distraction, before the counter trap was sprung revealing every Jedi. And in the galaxy that died are all clones, we're back!" Tahiri said laughing then and Ferus nodded, amused then.
"You're too much like Obi-wan as it is, that by the time we're 42 to 44 years old, these cases are getting so out of hand. Getting her back on Yavin IV and you're hearing what she did now as a result of us getting off that weapon." he said and Ferus shook his head. "Baby, go easy on me." he said to her gently then. "Oh my gods, I see what's coming here, but baby, you don't have to drive your mentor crazy with the impulsiveness here." Tru sai, laughing at that remark gently.
"Never mind the Anakin though guys, my name is Annie." he said and they smiled at the news then. "Alright, there we go, we fix this moment in time, and we got him, long before he gets what he wants now, but Ferus, we're reactivating you, you're being reactivated." Mace said and he nodded as he bowed to him and Lana passed him his lightsaber. "Master just left for Kasshyk right now, but it got better, my kids are here." he said and they nodded in shock to the news.
"You said she's pregnant with twins, you mean to tell me their adult selves showed up right after I went to get him?" Tru said and he nodded. "Them, her boyfriend, said wookie counterpart, Damon's grandson and my son's squadron." he said and they nodded in amazement. "We're connected to the alliance, but this was their symbol, Padme's hairpiece was said symbol." he said, showing them the symbol of the Rebellion Alliance and they nodded gently at the news.
"This is going to be a long month if we keep this up, but all padawans 10 to 12 years, we're doing multiple remotes now, so though we're not being taking down that easily. Said clones are from my regiment, if any of them breaks direct orders, they're being executed. But I was right, Palpatine is Sidious, the chancellor is the Sithmaster." he said and Ferus nodded. "We been had, it was him that blew you into the wall?" he said sternly and Anakin nodded gently to him then.
"Ferus trust me just stay out of the way, Andy sees you when fully converted, he's going to lose it, I don't want you getting killed." he said and Ferus nodded as he hugged him tightly. "But you're also a Soresu Ferus, so when he talks here, in saying Obi-wan, Obi-wan this, or Obi-wan that, he sees you, he blames you, for Darra, for mom." he said and Ferus nodded. "It's all my fault, I'm jealous, I'm holding it back, the lightsaber!" he said sternly then and Anakin nodded.
"Exactly, be careful Ferus, you're my version of Biggs Darklighter, when you go looking for survivors, tell them to switch colors." he said and Ferus nodded. "Or Lana, Corran and Dane do it, I need to stay with you, as we lock up Andy fully in your personality. But like you said, enough like Obi-wan, were it not for my not telling the difference between you. I never see this coming, as we never get a second chance to fix this between us, with Darra back, we're okay."
"But I'm staying with you, I made a mistake, I learn from it, I'm moving on now." he said and Tru nodded in agreement as she looked between her brothers. "We both are, we promise, we just have to get through it, but talking you out of hunting down your alter ego. Once we see the utter carnage in here is next to impossible, we both know that." Tru said and he nodded as they felt a massive blast shoot through them. "Yeah that did it." Mace said in relief, knowing he did it.
"I felt that, what just happened here?!" Leia said and the duo turned to them. "Your father let go of his anger, he, our him, is back fully now, uh Courage?" Tru asked and she and Luke nodded. "Luke and Leia Skywalker, Master Veld, Master Olin, nice to meet you both right now." she said and they nodded smiling at the reveal. "Alright like your father said baby, you're my apprentice, your brother goes to your father." he said and she nodded as she looked into his eyes gently.
"We're removing the robotic arm by force and leaving an arm there on the river bank, while his legs are falling into river, so his final penance here. Said is every injury that Vader put on your father through Obi-wan, we just reversed it on him now. Only with his being cooked from the fire, but we're carefully setting this up, but this in truth. Said is the third time this happened, first was Lorian to Count Dooku, said was Bruck Chun to Obi-wan and now Andy to me in truth."
"But each type the hot tempered ones always turned to the darkside, while us: Lorian, Obi-wan and Anakin, Tru and me were our version, we stayed strong." Ferus said and she nodded. "I take it this Bruck was a real bully right now, if he was that easy to convert?" she asked and Obi-wan nodded to her gently. "Yeah, like Andy, Bruck carried a red lightsaber, but doing this blind folded, stand back." he said to them and they nodded as Anakin tied a blind fold around his eyes then.
"I get it, the remote test, so baby, you and Obi-wan you first, remember." Qui-Gon said smiling and they nodded as they put their blindfolds on then as they started blocking shots. As the twins watched, realizing there was more to the life of a Jedi then they thought. "Padawans remember pride and competitiveness have no meaning in this exercise." Adi said and they smiled and Anakin and Ferus exchanged smiles, knowing they were next, as they worked out their bonds.
"Reach out to your partner, remember, join with their strength and cover the weakness, together you are stronger together." Qui-Gon added and they watched them destroy every alien version of the practice remotes in 10 minutes and the twins nodded. "Yes alright now, Anakin on me, Ferus on Adi, work as one." he said and they nodded and turned their lightsabers on, as they started sparring in the same practice and the twins nodded in shock at how good they were.
As Anakin opened fully to Ferus and felt him do the same, as he combined with his strength and felt him do the same, as they destroyed every single advanced training remote. "Alright boys, stay your hand." Adi said and they powered down and pulled the blindfold down. "Nicely done boys, that was really good right now, yes alright Darra, Tru, join with them please." Damon said and they nodded as they and Mace set up 10 remotes, and the quartet went into a diamond.
In defense then, as they watched the quartet blocking shots and defending each other. 'Darra heads up!' Anakin called out and she dodged the shot, before batting the shot across the room and it struck the window and Mace nodded before Ferus's swing went flying. And Kit jumped over the ricochet and the 10 nodded in amazement to the practice session. "Time!" Agen shouted and they powered down. "Nicely done." Mace said and the team smiled gently at that.
"Yeah there you see what I mean, read it out for me, Annie." Qui-Gon said and he nodded. "We both had our strength and weaknesses that's for the opposite side to realize, the idea here. Is to work together, but combine with the strength and cover the weakness together we're stronger. Only if we set aside our differences and work as one." he said and Ferus finished that. "And the fear of looking like an idiot is no excuse to do something, or not to do it, for it is a fear now."
"Born of weakness." he said and Qui-Gon and Adi nodded smiling in approval. "Exactly, that is just the point here right now, you both have your strengths and weaknesses. That was for either side of the four of you to learn, now time to work together, but join with the strength. And cover the weakness and you are stronger, but only if you set aside your differences and work as one. But the fear of looking like a fool is no reason to do something, or not to do it now padawans."
"For it is a fear born of weakness." Qui-Gon said and they nodded as they bowed to their parental mentors. "I knew you guys were good, but I didn't think you were this good, at the twins age." Han said in shock and he nodded smiling then. "Trust me, you spend 19 years a padawan, you grew up knowing what you're doing to realize what looks impossible. Is mere child's play to a Jedi, or Sith, now." Obi-wan said and the 10 nodded in understanding gently.
"And again, in my experience there is no such thing as luck, once you open fully to the force this becomes instinct and soon you're learning how to duck or dodge without getting clipped." he said and he nodded. "But guys, that was remotes, time for a real opponent, but maximum and cubs, get out of the way." Anakin said and they nodded as the quartet put their blind folds back on. "Oh guys, if this is the barge, get ready it's going to get nasty." Lando said and they nodded.
As the quintet started firing and they blocked and dodged every blast as the twins nodded in shocked disbelief at the real training of dealing with a live opponent then. "Point taken dad, point taken." Han said and he nodded as Siri shouted it out. "Guys, Darra, hold up, stay your hand." she called out and they stopped, before Anakin swung back handed to keep from getting shot in the back. "Wise guy, now switch off." he said and the remote collapsed in response then.
And they started laughing at that. "Nice way to handle one of the remotes acting like the blaster, before you get shot next." Adi said smiling and he nodded as he took the blind fold off then smiling at the remark. "What you were dealing with on the barge was one against 50, this is 4 against 5 and trust me just one or 2 lightsabers is too much for the NFS shooting at us." she said and the quintet nodded smiling at the training session as they exchanged smiles then.
