Stargate Atlantis Trading Grounds I: The Return To La Rochelle
Warnings: I lost another page, so I have to fix this, before I finish the upload right now, as from here it's case of fixing the damage. In the cast, and with it, Nick Ballard makes an appearance, as he sees after 25 years. Daniel found his way back to the command side of the grouping that were trying to over turn his decision then. After Daniel's parents were killed in the accident here now, so from here it changes now.
But if anyone noticed here in the continued references to the movie script of Sphere, the story is going to follow some of it, but changes in other areas. And this story on Sphere, is going to be book 3 of the 6 part series I'm creating. Basing it from now, to end of Season 5, and instead of dead, Daniel's going to be training to be a Q. And like season 6 showed, only 3 of the 22 episodes, has him with the trio, the others.
He's there at the SGA, Daniel's clone, turned twin brother ascended and Daniel is at the SGA, making his powers stronger. As the last episode unlocked his potential completely, though by doing that, everything that came with it. Starts coming out in visions, till they reach my other story, of the Past and Present series. Till the final shot results now here in the 5 years he spent, on board the enterprise, there in Antarctica.
With this series, there's going to be a severe amount of backlash brought on by the traumas of Hathor and Machello. But the connector is going to be Need and Shyla's kingdom, so for Sam and Jack. The events of Hathor and Shyla have stuck, leaving them facing a backlash that has Daniel. And Teal'C, on one side of the line, them on the other, in basing this solely on the book series on the movie, directly after it.
The events are altered to it being civilian ran with military help and the SGA is just that, as Jack and Makepeace get the entirety of the consequences. That resulted in Daniel becoming a pariah now in that book series, only now it's reversed here. So everything negative on Daniel is Jack now, in the SGA and everything Jack is Daniel. In the SGC ops, but it's because of the permanent effects of Hathor's pheromones.
This story and it's followers are going to match the dialog, in the flashback memories, of chapter 4, of the past meets the present series. As it also follows the complete mental breakdowns, of the human half of the team. And Robert Makepeace and Adam Johnson, so the story is going to follow the dialog to the letter exactly. Along with some new dialog that was not in the fast forwarded portion in the flashbacks.
Basing this in real time, rather then the show, of 25 years ago, Antarctica was a neutral zone for research so military research was not allowed out there. And with it, as the chair is considered military technology, it was meant to be last resort. In case of another orbital attack, so the outpost is now trade and exploration. So with this chapter, is the colony/crew is now getting used to being a slightly underwater crew.
As he's getting to work in trading to bring in more improvement for the planet at large now, so a military attack. Just to bring him back to the states, is attempted, is an international. In incidents and enough to get them convicted for kidnapping now, with his clearance. So from here, is he's dropping in on Ry'ac and Drey'auc and before the press conference. And just before his first stop in planets is to Gaea, home of the Nox.
This chapter will finish off this portion of the story-line, as the next two chapters and forward, cover chapter 2, going by the name. And of The Glory Of Tantulus, which covers things, from his going to the races and Tok'ra creation of the treaty. And his return to Shyla, before the following Chapters cover the the breakdowns of the trio and Carter, who's lost her ability to function mentally, out of desperation now.
As the mission was sanctioned, and he was transferred to Landry and the Atlantis team at the time. As Rodney McKay, Cam Mitchell, Vala Mal Doran, Hank Landry, Frank Simmons, Steven Caldwell, John Shepard. And Elizabeth Weir enter the picture here, the story will have Daniel and Teal'C joining their team. As the SGA is founded 5 years early, and moved into the outpost on earth….
Disclaimers: I don't own the shows, the story belongs to everything else belongs to the creators and the movie companies.
Chapter 101: New Futures And Fresh Starts X: Time's Arrow and Recovery X
Avalon I Continued:
"After explaining what I knew we were going over what went on since my missions with you started. Before talking about their new assignments, before we heard a crash, I followed your orders. But I didn't see who did it, because I was busy with the turbolift and the shaft. I did feel a massive surge of the darkside, not like when standing in the presence of a Sith, but, honestly."
"It's the sick feeling I felt after we found the holocron Lundi got his hands on Master. If our perp is studying the holocrons, he's a Sith scholar, the blast was strong enough, it's as if whoever it was knew the power of the darkside. Welcomed it and used it as a way to remind you that he, as if Xanatos, is back right now." he said and they nodded to him gently at the next then as he said softly.
"It's okay, you did what you were supposed to do, and you learned from your brother's mistakes, I'm just relieved you were not in the shaft when it broke. Like you said, safest option possible with as little risk as possible, you showed true bravery and wisdom by seeing that and giving us this idea. Instead of trying to do it yourself, that's very well done." Liam said, smiling at him proudly at the response.
"I owe you my life at your fast thinking Anakin, thank you." Williams said and he nodded as they saw his eyes gentle as he looked at the ten then and smiled."Like before, give without wanting anything in return now Master, Ali. But I still stand by what I said now, I didn't do it, because I was in a rush to return home. I did it because it was the right thing to do, why, because it is right now."
"I followed direct orders and I still stand by my request, not to be taken back, but to be given probation. I never wanted to leave you, but I was ordered to by the outer rim leaders, Master. My commitment to you is 100%, and I'm serious about that commitment, so back to the beginning. But probation, I don't wish to be taken back, but be given probation." he said and they nodded gently to him then.
"Your ideas were very wise and waiting for us was also wise, as such this proves you do have what it takes, by getting us. We were going over that before the girls came to get us, but we made our decision. But that just proves to us that you learned from this experience, before making it. Another impulsive decision, you showed wisdom rather then recklessness and we realize it."
"But this shows that you do show your suitability to be a padawan and a Jedi, but we have made our decision and you will be put on probation now." Jackson told him and he nodded. "Yes Master, and thank you, I know this may take time as I, like Obi-wan, have drawn into question. In the level of our commitment as Padawans to both his generation and your's, as a result of this choice."
"We made a choice, a bad choice, to leave, it changed us, it changed our bonds with Master and with you. But we understand this, it will take time but we will get there, together." he said and Liam hid a smile. "Indeed and this was a very nice step in the right direction Anakin, it may take time. And for us to rebuild our bond, but this time is for us as we get our bond back in to place now."
"But we will get there, I am very proud of you though." he said and Hayden nodded to the warm look in his eyes. "We'll talk to your parents on you being here for extended training for the next three months. But in addition to being put on probation, it's losing your visits home for three months." he said and Hayden nodded to him. "Yes Master I understand." he said and they nodded softly to him.
"And you, young Darra, you are to be commended as well, you stayed calm. When you found the comm unit was dead on the lake level, your speed in getting help was was admirable." he said and she smiled at that as she answered him gently at that remark with a humble look in her eyes. As Hayden moved to her and Jackson and Liam smiled, knowing that he was standing by his decision in her case.
As they watched him wrap his arm around her and she smiled and Jackson, Ewan and Liam smiled at that. "We realized that the only way to prevent what happened to Bant from happening again, this time to me. Is by us working as one, and we work together, but never leaving each others side. And till it was safe at the moment, but regarding my coming to you after checking the comlink."
"Any of us would do the same." she said and Ewan and Liam shook their heads. "No Darra, it was wise for you to come straight to the council room and your calmness in the face of great peril was true to the Jedi way." He said and she nodded as she tried to keep from blushing and Hayden hid a smile. "Thank you, my wish was to help the children." she said and Ewan said it for him then smiling.
"As you did." he said, before Hayden looked at the trio surrounding Hayden then. "Nicely done boys, we know how much weight that was. And that it was it getting harder to hold it up before we arrived." he said and the trio nodded."Yes Master, but we did what had to be done to protect our baby brothers and sisters." Dane said for all of them and he nodded as Clee said it for him then gently at that.
"Indeed and you have done it, well done, my padawan, boys, very well done." she said and they bowed as they turned to Hayden. "That was very good idea in sending Darra and Tahiri to get us that quickly and before doing this for us." Jackson said and Hayden nodded. "I could see that the shaft was ready to come down and any weight up there was likely to cause it to break, but most of all."
"I remembered your orders and decided to that it was safer to do this by doing it from down here, sending the girls to get you and the security. I had to make sure that the comlink was taking incoming calls, that helped. As I determined how serious Ali's situation was, but I knew this is what Master meant. That right now my skills as a non force sensitive were needed for this now."
"I wasn't sure where the younglings were standing in the turbolift, if not careful one of them could get hit, that's too dangerous, by doing it blind. Trying to go up there could cause the entire thing thing to come down now. And adding more weight when we already had to hold up this much is too much for us hold up. Till you arrived, so I decided this was best." he said to explain it to them at that.
"As a Jedi, though it's tempting to act, it's often wiser to wait and you just proved the point. And to that remark Anakin, we see this all the time in temple raised students. It was tempting to go up there and do it yourself, but it was much wiser to wait for us. And use your other skills at the moment right now, though a Jedi, use your abilities." Liam said and he hid a smile to his praise.
"Yes Master, as a mechanic, I realized that one false step could cause that system to come down. Eleven lives in the balance, if the guys and I went up there are 15 lives at risk, so it left one option. We had to keep the entire system propped and to keep from collapsing. Until we figured out the solution, and with you in the room with us as we do it." he said and the duo gave a nod to the news.
And the council nodded smiling at his choice. "Nicely done in quick thinking, waiting for us to take over the act of holding it up. And at the same time, sending the girls to get us and the security. That is exactly what we wanted you to do, Anakin, do not get reckless and instead use your telekinesis. And combine together to hold it up until we got in there." Jackson said proudly at his decision then.
"Also very wise idea that was as well to give to us, too dangerous it was to get into the shaft. But mentally disengage the cable and the wheel connecting to said cable. Never would have seen that option had not offered it to us, you had, or checking to see if anyone in turbolift, there is. That was very well done Anakin, you have shown very wise thinking and wisdom in this situation."
"Very wise at seeing flaws, that many things happened, they could have, if acted impulsively, you did." Yoda said smiling at him gently at that. "I am lucky we were in here when it crashed or someone could be hurt. But I quickly weighed the possibilities of it breaking now if the guys and I went up there. And before all of you came to us, and decided it wasn't worth risking our lives now."
"Or Ali and the younglings and we decided to keep it propped till you got in there, Master. Seeing that, I sent the girls to get you as we did this until you got in here." he said and the council nodded smiling as Liam and Ewan exchanged proud looks. "Not many could wait for back up and decide to do it themselves, but you chose wisdom over impulsiveness, and it's clear to me now."
"That was very wise thinking Anakin, you learned from my mistake and decided not to make the same mistakes twice." Ewan said and he looked into his eyes. "I made that mistake once, but never again, Master, I'm sorry I left you. But I..., at times I miss being normal, that's why I left, but I see it clearly. Everything I thought I found there, I have it, I am a Jedi, just need time now in distance."
"Distance and reflection, but I understand: at times being out in the real world causes your non Jedi side to starting getting stronger. But I must focus on the fact that everything I thought I found there, I have it all right here. With my family at home and right here in the temple, this is where I belong now." he said and the duo and the council nodded to the wisdom in him as they made their decision.
"As are we, but we took this time to think that over and we made our choice." Liam said and he looked at him as he said it softly to him and as he looked between them. "Then you..." he started to say and Ewan said it to him softly. "We will take each other back, Padawan." he said and Hayden nodded as Ewan pulled him into a hug and he buried his head into his shoulder at that, before pressing his forehead to his.
"There was no need, because we never let you go, Padawan, the choice to stay was hard I understand that, we can fix this between us." Liam told him and he nodded. "Our fight the night before, I was ordered to stay there, the territory leaders gave orders for me to stay there. I never wanted to stay, I was ordered to Father, Obi-wan, I'm sorry." he said to him and they nodded gently to him then.
"We understand, but that makes a big diffence right now in fixing our bonds finally, someone is interfering in our relationship." Ewan said for Liam gently then. "Like I said, I never wanted to leave, I was ordered to father, I gave them a fighting chance so we could get out. But if they would just stop, I wouldn't have had to stay at all, but never again, I am a Jedi, my place is here."
"Not leaving you again, I have a life outside the order, but when here and you're my family, father, Obi-wan. My life is here at the temple, I'm not going anywhere now, but never doubt my commitment to you, Father, Ben." he said and the duo nodded. "Or ours to you, second chance we can fix this, but time and patience." Ewan said and as they ended it at that as he looked at his student then.
Letting go, he decided to check it and his eyes narrowed. "Father, you said that you dealt with a formula, that had what happened so far in it. Disruption: that's the thefts, stealing my lightsaber, my friends lightsabers, the crystals and attempting to kill Master was demoralization and now comes..." he said and their eyes narrowed in fury. "Distraction." Ewan said firmly and Liam nodded.
"We got to find those crystals and fast." Jackson said and they nodded. "Anakin's had enough for right now, Annie, I want you to eat and rest and then you can join us. And for the next emergency, Darra, you go with him, I am not leaving you guys on your own. All padawans chosen by your mentors, get with your teams, okay." Liam said and their clan nodded as they all put themselves with their trios.
"Sense the presence of another adult force sensitive, Anakin?" Yoda said and he shook his head. "I didn't feel the cold blast I got from Sidious, whoever it is this time, they may carry a lightsaber. But there is no sense of the force in that character, I'm not sensing anything from them. So not the darkside, not the lightside, it's like they're studying the Jedi arts, but they're force sensitive."
"It's someone that understands the force, so a Sith or a Dark Jedi want to be." he said and closed his eyes to get a feel and nodded. "It's the same as our survival mission after running into Floria and Dane. The exact same thing, we were hunting down someone that understands the nature of the force." he said and Liam nodded sternly to the news as he exchanged looks with Ewan.
"Whoever it is, they're still in the temple, everyone pair off and stick together, senior padawans on the edge of the choosing ceremony. All of you get with your teams and stick together, our perp is trying to separate our teams. Nobody outside of the 15 of us leave your team and stay together, Anakin back to our apartment and run the diagnostics there." he said and they all nodded to the orders.
"Yeah okay, so it wasn't Tru's being worried about my tattling on them, he was just scared, of how to explain this to Adi, Tiana and Billy. If his lightsaber shorted out in the middle of the fight, and I decided to save his neck." Hayden said and he nodded "Yeah that and the storyline of that portion of it shifted, so this is what Andy heard." he said and activated it. "I noticed it, that droid must have pulverized your power circuit." he said and then they heard Tru then.
"It keeps slipping back into half power." he said in response and sighed. "I know I should have told Ry Gaul, but he's so correct, he might leave me out of battle situations. Or even send me back to Coruscant." they heard and then heard a soft tone as he answered him then. "Ry' would be within his rights to do that, without a functioning lightsaber. You're at risk right now Tru, your being here is a hindrance rather then a help."
"But quite honestly, they can wait, we need to go home right now, the Sith, Zan Arbor and Omega can wait. We need to regroup right now." they heard in response to that his remark and Jackson nodded. "That's Andy, not me now, I was coming to check on you guys right now, before this decision killed someone." Hayden said and the duo nodded. "I know I should have told Ry Gaul, but he's so correct, he might leave me out of battle situations."
"Or even send me back to Coruscant." they heard again and they heard a sigh."Ry' would be within his rights to do that, without a functioning lightsaber. You're at risk right now Tru, your being here is a hindrance rather then a help. But quite honestly, they can wait, we need to go home right now, the Sith, Zan Arbor and Omega can wait. We need to regroup right now." they heard in response to that his remark and Jackson nodded.
"Could you children get anymore reckless with the weaponry I mean seriously, these are toys, but real lightsabers, one broken lightsaber affects us all." Liam said bemused and Hayden nodded in agreement. "Well considering I built sum number by the time I was 20, you know this, though I'm very good, still more to learn, but I'm not perfect and you. In truth never wanted me to be, but I am perfect to you, because I'm not." he said and he and Ewan smiled.
"Agreed, you're not perfect and we never wanted you to be, but you are to us, but there it is, by doing the right thing, all your stories match up. And it's not you three that made the mistake, but Andy that had, by not telling us immediately and you had right now. So there's the 'won't let me move on', he knew and never reported and we never let it go after Darra now. Was knocked into a coma, though we arrested the scientist and Xanatos's son is dead." Jackson said to this
"If your lightsaber is permanently damaged, Ry Gaul would be right to do so." they heard in response to that remark. "After all, you don't want to go up against a Sith without a lightsaber." he said and they heard a firm tone. "No kidding, this mission is crucial, that's why I can't be send back, not yet. I just thought if I could fix it without Ry Gaul knowing it…." they heard and Hayden completed the sentence then at that remark.
"I could help with the arrest right now." they heard sighing and Jackson nodded sternly as they heard more. "Look I know I wouldn't be the first candidate or the second, to enter the acceleration program. You and Anakin would be the first, maybe Darra would be the third, but I don't want to be left behind." they heard and he nodded. "You want to keep the team together and are ignoring the code?!" they heard in shocked disbelief then.
"Tru, you're advancement is not the reason we're here." Ferus said sternly at that remark and they heard it quickly. "That's not what I meant, I want to be with my fellow padawans, my fellow Jedi. Because we all know that the darkness is growing, we need every Jedi right now, I want to be out there."he said and they heard a gentle tone. "We all do Tru, but in order to be do so, we all have to be ship shape, but currently."
"We're still very young, not ready yet so much to learn still, but first rule is to survive, in order to do that, we must go home." they heard gently and Mace looked at Anakin and he nodded to him and the council nodded. "We all do…., alright, I fixed it, but why didn't you go to Anakin, he's better at this then I am." he said and they heard it. "He's busy with Obi-wan." he said and they heard a firm tone at that and Damon crossed his arms sternly.
"Busy with Obi-wan, or with Obi-wan and in extension, your parental mentor, is that what you're afraid of, you come to me and though I fixed it, I tell Tiana and Ry' the repairs may not hold up and needs more work done on it. Well I see I have no choice, but that breaks down twice, you're being expelled for implication. As well as lying and murder, because you decided not to report it." they heard and Tru went white at that.
"I don't see any reason to tell Ry Gaul, now that it's fixed, we better get back." they heard from Ferus. and he switched it off. "Yeah alright hang on here, as I stuck to my Jedi clothing, he wanted to stand out and was using that dark chocolate brown. In jumpsuits, so my taste matched your's Ewan, I dressed like you, I corrected your mistakes now. And aside from my lightsaber repeatedly breaking, I matched you in everything." he said and Ewan nodded.
As Hayden altered the image to having his alter ego dress in said jumpsuit and Lucas nodded smiling then. "Here's me, as the years between Jake to me came together now, check this out." he said and as he blended the two together and Lucas nodded in shock. "Oh my god, the resemblance is uncanny right now, you could be his older brother right now, on The Phantom Menace." Jackson said and he nodded and Watson nodded, as she used that to create it then.
As they rewrote the conversation exchange then carefully to this. "Guys, did you expect me to not over hear the conversation today or Andy not to. Because this is enough they're going to wonder about the stern tone in my voice. And they did and Obi-wan only had to look at a single fact here in why exactly. He just figured it out in why I laid into you both for that, but I'm with him at the moment, what is that supposed to tell him."
"When he knows I'm studying lightsaber lore, but that your lightsaber is broken Tru, he knows, he told me if we don't come forward and tell the council, then he will." he said and Tru quickly said it to that. "Does he have any evidence?" he asked and Andy shook his head as he answered him then. 'Alright just admit it, you want to lie your way out of this.' He said out loud then sternly as he said it then to that remark as he answered him then.
"No, but he knows exactly how it happened right now in truth, Tru." he said and Tru sighed in relief as he answered him as he said it. "Obi-wan doesn't know anything, he has theory, so let him tell the council what he thinks happened. They'll ask us: is it true, we'll say no, there's no evidence so there is no case, we'll get off with a reprimand." he said and Hayden looked at him in shock then as he looked between them then in fury.
'What, are you kidding me, after everything he's done for me, Master Qui-Gon, the council, Obi-wan, no, no forget about it, I won't do it.' he said saying it aloud as the entire 9 years together, before it landed on them together hit him. "I can't call Obi-wan a liar." he said and Ferus said it gently. "Anakin, we have to hang in there a little longer, then this will all be over." he said and Hayden said it slowly then and Adi nodded in agreement sternly.
"It's wrong you two." he said and Tru said it gently. "Anakin..." he started to say and Anakin said it firmly as Liam smiled in approval. "I'm going to tell them what happened." he said and Tru said it firmly to that as he crossed his arms. "You, alone, you, are going to decide what happens to you, to me and to Ferus, you're going to tell them." he said and Hayden said it forcefully then to that as he looked at him then as he felt his heart tearing at this.
"I'm not going to lie them again, Tru, I can't live with it." he said and that did it. "Yeah the planet and the Darkside is getting to them, you had only one chance to get this right. But the quick and easy are quick to join you in the fight or whatever, once you take that step. There is no coming back and you're a Master Guardian, only you can see this for what it is now. And by talking some sense into them." Jackson said and Williams nodded in stern agreement then.
"You can't lie to them, you can't live with this, you have to be the one to decide. Who the heck are you exactly?" Tru snapped at him and he looked at him in shock. "Guys..." he started to say and Ferus over rode him then and Soara crossed her arms. "You're going to turn us in." Ferus snapped at him and Hayden said it. "Wait a minute, listen to me, I got an idea to get you out of the hotseat here." he started to say and Ferus snapped at him.
"No you wait a minute!" he snapped and sighed as he ran his hand through his hair as he said it to him. "They got to you, didn't they, Obi-wan, he told you this big speech about duty, truths and honor, well it must have been a pretty good speech. Just to make you turn your back on us, us, your friends." he said and Hayden said it sternly to that remark. "We are Jedi, we have a duty to the truth." he said and Tru said it to him then firmly then
And in pained betrayal then. "And what about your duty to your friends, I got you on this team. I gave you a chance when there were other padawans, just waiting in line. I told Ferus, you wouldn't let us down, you're on the best team in the temple. You know what it's like, just to trust your partners with your life, I guess I was wrong. At the time now." he said and Hayden said it firmly as he looked between them at that remark
And as he said it then. "Darn right you are buddy, but again it's not the Jedi way to lie to one's master right now, never lied before, I'm not starting now. The kids are spending 8 weeks living with me and their mother as we prepare for their birthdays right now." Hayden said and the council and the quartet, both age groups, nodded to the request gently at that remark. "Guys we don't, we're all getting expelled here, I can tell them and you're off the hook."
"Look if we all come forward and tell the council, you could get get off easy." he said and they heard a pained mental tone to this. 'Just admit now, the chance to get into the program is worth too much to give up. Even if it means one of us gets hurt, you're going to lie to them.' he said finishing it and the boy scoffed at that remark then. "We don't want to come forward Anakin, Ferus and me, we don't have a problem with this."
"But if you do then resign from the Jedi temple and leave, but don't make us pay for your guilty conscious." he told him and he looked at him in shock. "You'd put the entire team at risk just to save your necks?!" he said in disbelief then in shock to him. "To keep us together, the team, that is more important then you right now. And it's more important then me and if I was in your place I would do so without hesitation."
"But that's just me." Ferus told him and Anakin nodded. "That part was for us, but I meant, to keep the four of us together, we're trying to stay together, our team. But I'm scared out of my mind, if one of us leaves too soon, one of us could get killed here. So Hayden dropped the bomb, for me and you ran that test, Sam, but that test was for Andy, not for us." Ewan said and the cast nodded gently at the reveal. "My best friend now." Hayden said and he nodded then.
"Guys, guys listen to me, remember what we were taught, remember acceleration, what's that code for, in the darkside. Tru focus already, listen to me, you're saying your alter ego's thoughts, that never mind safety procedures. If the weapon goes in the middle the fire fight so be it, I want to graduate early. And get away from Tiana, Adi, Siri and Ry'!" he asked and they paled, as they exchanged looks at that remark quickly.
"Guys, you never saw your eyes for a second there, they turned gold, don't give in, come back to me. Remember, I'm a Master Guardian, an understanding the threat, only I know the dangers, I know what you're thinking. But remember, fear leads to desperation, desperation leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate. That leads to suffering, you're on desperation right now, desperation to hide this now from them."
"It's just a delay, a small delay while we fix this, just resist." he said and they closed their eyes, before opening their eyes and he sighed in relief. "The darkside is faster, easier and more seductive, we're tempted to turn, but this is the Sith home planet!" Tru said quickly at that. "Exactly Tru, I'm trying to save your souls, but more then souls, our friendship, but after 10 years, brothers." he said and looked between them gently then.
As he pulled him into a hug and he tightened his arms around him in response as Anakin closed his eyes in relief. 'Don't leave me brother, don't leave me, we made it this far together, I'm not letting you destroy yourself, just fight it!' they heard and he gently rocked him, before pressing his forehead to his then. "Tru, you are my best friend, we spent going on 11 years with that training lesson they drilled into us now, it was close right now."
"But duty to your friends, you do this, no one will ever let you forget it, as you're expelled from the Jedi Order. Can't give in, I know it's tempting to want to graduate early, but we're not ready yet, still another 7 to 8 years. The Sith are on the planet we know that, but can't risk a fatal mistake, you have to tell the quartet the truth. We just fix what's left to fix and turn it in, before someone a fatal mistake here on this one."
"Ferus, Tru, is this worth destroying our friendship over, after 10 years, we come this far together now, we can finish out, but what if this is all part of the Sith's plan. To destroy us after knocking father into a coma, because frankly, to know. I need to tell them how bad the damage is, but a fast repair job, before we do some real. In surgery on that lightsaber, after we get back now?" he asked and they looked down at that remark.
"That's why I'm scared to report this, but we got 5 lightsabers and mine needs more work done on it." Tru said and Hayden nodded and he rubbed his shoulder and he smiled. "Tru trust me, I created 20, I can spot it, easily, just give me a chance to help, like we said, it's not the Jedi way to lie to one's master, but way of the apprentice. As we stick together, work as one, honesty to our mentors, so instead of you, I tell the quartet."
"Though I do this, I have to tell him, and then you do it, so they know, this is part of the training. Not the Jedi way, not the Jedi to lie to one's master, guys, we have to tell them, but we can finish out, our team quartet for another 7 to 8 years." he said and they nodded. "Fair enough, we stay together, like I said to Andy, it's not the Jedi way to lie to one's master." Ferus said and he nodded as he answered him with a bemused smile.
"Neither is eaves dropping, but I didn't as I arrived and just told you this, but looks like Andy broke said rule and decided not to say it, let me see it." he said and he gave it to him. "I got it working enough, I thought it was ready." he said and Hayden nodded. "Not yet, it needs more work, but with my building 20 of these, if Andy fixed the flux aperture, why did he never remind you to compensate for the power boost now.
"Now to make sure the repairs will hold up, because he's in trouble." he said and Ferus crossed his arms. "Yeah there it is, the blast did blow your power circuit, you fixed that, and that get you got it 75% it just needs a few tweaks. And here and there, but once I finish and you're good to go, status check, turn it on. The blow could have created a flaw in in." he said and Tru nodded and turned it on and heard a droning hum from it then.
As he double checked it then as he heard it carefully. "You check the crystals, that noise says the crystals are cracked without a focusing crystal it could explode or short out?" he asked and they exchanged looks. "No we never dismantled it completely to check, but that could be why it's losing power!" Tru said and he nodded and put in 3 new crystals, as he turned it back on it then, and they heard a gentle humming, saying it liked the new crystals.
"I think it likes the updated color, if it's humming, because your's are blue bordering purple, Annie." Ferus said with a slight smile. "You needed some new crystals huh, friend?" he asked it with it smile as they heard the happy humming and Ferus smiled. "I never heard a lightsaber sound like this before!" Harrison said and he nodded. "If we're creating the Jedi, before the Sith/Rebel wars, then this only happens if you had a very deep bond now."
"And with the member that lightsaber belongs to, so his lightsaber is happy that his brother, my lightsaber, was preventing him from having a blow out. And before we got further work done on it at the time now here, so as a result, we're connected by friendship and the force. That only happens if you are beyond tightly bonded, so you're linked, your lightsabers see each other. As brothers. Sisters, or brother and sister, our's were bonded by our relationship of brotherly."
"And brother/sister bonds, so one lightsaber knew its brother, or sister, lightsaber was protecting it. And from having a blow out, in the middle of defensive duty." Jackson said and they smiled at the at. "Well that my grandchildren and their friends should have considered it, as Tenal Ka's lightsaber was created with defective crystals, before you built the new one." Hayden said and she nodded and said it. "And she learned my lesson." Ewan said and he nodded to her gently.
"In order to make sure it's working properly, after recharging the power cell, you have to adjust the flux aperture. Just to make sure the repairs will hold, you should have let my grand daughter check it, before you used it." Hayden said and she nodded with a sigh gently. "You're welcome, friend." Hayden said in response and Tru chuckled at that response gently. "So new crystals, it also needed new crystals right now." Ferus said smiling and Hayden nodded.
"Alright cracked crystals, damaged power circuit that just got fixed, power boosted and got adjustment to the flux aperture, that's all of it." he said and Tru nodded gently as he wrote that down."Alright Andy made an adjustment to the flux aperture, I recharged the power cell, and you're reminding me to make an adjustment to the flux aperture. To compensate for the recent boost and you just replaced the crystals for me too."
"That's all of it in repairs jobs on a mission, how's the head exactly, you doing okay?" he asked and Hayden nodded. "Slight headache, but not bad enough I need to stop, I just took some painkiller for that right now, I been thinking here. Of getting back in touch with the Senator, that's Padme, before the old man assigns us to protecting her. As for this, I think we just found the problem: crystals." he said and Tru nodded gently then.
"That's more like it, that says the old crystals were damaged and needed to be replaced, so the blast destroyed the power circuit. I just replaced that and the blast put too much stress on the crystals and cracked them. And it's because there's a line in these, they're close to shattering and you just fixed that." Tru said and he checked the level and saw it hold a steady 85% power and Hayden nodded smiling as he finished that then.
"That should hold it for a bit, but until I finish the repairs, don't over use it, till we get home, and I can fix it completely Tru. But like we both know Andy created a boost in the power cell, but it needs an adjustment to the flux aperture. To compensate for the recharge, the crystals needed to be exchanged and wiring adjusted, guys. But the blast over loaded the circuits like you figured." he said and they both smiled in relief then.
"You're 85% full power, that's plenty till we finish the job, but you finished half the repairs and I did the other half, and once back home we finish it now." he said and Tru nodded gently to him at the news. "Agreed, we can fix this together, after we have Tolan look at it, but why, why did Andy never come forward about this. I'm not liking this one bit, but then you're my best friend here, so of course, you're helping me."
"What we got here exactly, Annie?" Ferus asked and he explained it. "Andy did the power boost, after fixing the aperture, but I think the blast disrupted it. That's the connection between your power cell and the flux aperture. The blast also put enough strain on the crystals they cracked, and needed to be replaced now. I just took care of that and you fixed the wiring, all we got to do is further recharge and adjustment."
"As the blast also damaged the old crystals, I need to switch them out and fix the flux aperture, but otherwise you're good, till I fix it." he said and they nodded, as he finished the repair work and snapped it back together. "Alright you're good, but take it easy on it, till we finish it, as the more in battle and the faster it drains." he said and Tru nodded as he put it on his belt. "Alright tell the trio, what you told me." Ferus said and he nodded.
"Okay, okay, I can tell them and we go from there, but you still have to tell the quartet it could break down." Hayden said and he sighed. "Graduating early is no big deal, we got 8 years left, but frankly, it's a bit lonely on our own, we had each other. On missions as the quartet worked things out, but till you take on a traveling companion. Or padawan, it's a bit lonely till then, so what's the rush." he said and they looked down.
And at that, now realizing they forgot that part. "Oops, yeah you're right, why rush graduating right now exactly we been together so long. That we had each other on missions together: we're best friends, brothers, once graduated. Then we're on our own till we take on a padawan, okay you win right now, but now what?" Ferus asked and he explained that as they went into a triangle line of defense then gently at that.
"Guys, listen to me, unlike their version right now, who was force sensitive, our Xanatos is using a blaster. Our version of him in truth, he's an NFS, he doesn't realize we can switch systems on a blaster. From kill to stun, so if Andy decides to not speak up, we can insure whoever would have been here. In getting shot is only knocked unconscious, not killed." he said and Ferus lifted his head in shock to the news in relief.
"But Master is running a test, I told him, but he's testing Andy, in whether or not he speaks up, but 6 years." he said and they nodded. "Alright, alright, I'll tell him, but we stick it out together, and it goes as he shoots. I'm switching the blaster to maximum stun, she gets knocked unconscious, but she's okay. But Andy's not separating us, not that easily here.." Tru told him and he nodded smiling and they went into a 3-way hug then.
"Alright there we go, go on that right now." Ewan said and he nodded."Master, guys, the blast did some damage to his lightsaber I had to fix, I took care of it. In swapping out his crystals, but there's more work that needs to be done on it here. And I don't have my equipment with me to repair it, but as this is not a real Dark Jedi. He uses a blaster, we can switch settings, maximum stun." he said and the quartet nodded in relief then.
"Taking extra precautions here, I told them we can get off easy now, and by having a fool proof plan if his. Now, goes in the middle of the fight, as the four of us are always grouped together. And there are shield traps all over the place, so his goes as he fires, I got mine and block the shot. So though knocked unconscious in whoever of us it is, we never lost anyone now, as our team is intact." he said and they and Soara nodded.
"How bad's the damage if you and Ferus had to do a case of triage?" Ry' asked him and he explained that to him. "The blast fused the circuits, and damaged the crystals, disrupting the connection between the power cell and flux aperture. After replacing the crystals, I took care of the slight boost in the recharge and compensated. And for a second time for the flux aperture, but it's got enough power for one last fight, Ry'."
"Obi-wan, and before we have to do surgery on it next after we get my analysis confirmed by Tolan." he said and he nodded. "But Obi-wan, Andy fixed the flux aperture, before we left, and they finished the recharge. And before I told Tru to adjust the flux aperture, to compensate." he said and the trio exchanged looks. "Odd, why didn't Andy tell him, if he nearly walked in on them to do that?" Soara asked and he nodded gently.
"I'm not entirely sure, but I'm going to find out, if she still goes in battle, and I got to risk that headache getting worse." he said and she nodded. "It starts getting worse I want to know right away, padawan." she said and he nodded. "Darra, let me look at your arm." he said and she exposed her lower arm and he nodded as he did a field dressing and wrapped it. "That gets worse, tell me." he said and she nodded as she hugged him tightly.
"Leader of the team in padawans, overly protective." she said smiling and he smiled and the trio chuckled at that "You're my entire world Darra, what do you expect, one girl out of the four of us, to the guys and me, you're our entire world. Our job to protect you here, but I came up with a foolproof way to head off a more then fatal injury. Omega never gained his father's force abilities, if he carries a blaster, so a fast switch on it."
"In settings and put on high should do it, though if that nailed an artery, and Winna is taking care of your injuries for a couple years, before bringing you out of it. If you're the one that got hit." he said and she nodded as she hugged him. "Well to say this now, you don't have to turn on us to save me and whoever it is. As for all we know your father had the power already, don't change, as the only way I could die is heartbreak."
"Stay yourself Annie, don't change." she said and he nodded as she pressed her forehead to his. "Thank you for the warning though, Annie, we needed to know that." Ewan said and he nodded. "A fast debate ended with me getting them to tell you, but we got it working enough to prevent another injury. And after the blast bounced or bounces off the lightsaber and goes in the wrong direction, again." he said and he nodded to him.
"Nice thinking and thank you for telling us this, I take it the boys are telling us this through you right now, Annie?" Siri asked and he nodded to her gently. "The 3 of us never lied to you guys before, so why start now exactly, Sis?"he asked her and they smiled in fondness at that. "Indeed and we appreciate the honesty right now, tell them we'll let it go, but we need to hear this from them next, okay." Ry' said and he nodded to request.
"I'll tell them, but the blast broke off a piece of his hilt, and put enough strain on the crystals causing them to crack, I switched out his with 3 of my back ups. So the lightsaber has a faint purplish glow to the blue now, but I need to check it. That's the flux aperture and compensate for the recharge, but I'll finish the repairs. When we get back, but I told him minimum use is best till we get back." he said and they all nodded.
"Thank you for the update." Ewan said gently to him. "We decided though chosen, we're not ready to just separate this soon, but I punched through. In what the planet was trying to do to us, but we been together for 10 years, 6 of the 10 as team mates. That why graduate this soon, once a knight it's lonely without someone either age to talk to now, we may have gotten into the program, but no." he said and they smiled then.
"Indeed, remember Thracia and Mace's lecture to you, during Sekot and the Carver, we only get 13 to 14 years together, so enjoy our partnership while it lasts. As soon you don't have us to fall back upon." Ewan said and he smiled at him. "Yeah I remember and I just told them that, and they agree, we spent all our teenage lives. As team mates, why let that go." he said and the trio nodded as they ended the conversation.
"Yes alright Anakin you first please we need to hear the truth here, to what happened if Obi-wan double checked her and said she was knocked into a coma here. And, rather then killed by the blaster shot." Adi said and he nodded gently to her. "Knowing Andy heard the conversation between them over his lightsaber needing more work on it. I considered the possibility with us on Korriban, he was going to allow it here now."
"And of a chance early graduation to cloud it his judgement, before a debate broke out between the three of us, and I convinced them we can get off easy. As Tru and I switched settings on the blaster, I told Obi-wan and the trio there was a chance. But the guys and I were taking extra precautions, in case it did go right then. And Tru agreed with my idea, I shoved my lightsaber in place of his as it went right then."
"The blast ricocheted off my lightsaber and struck her, but fortunately the blast was at maximum stun, knocking her out. As my exhaustion and the concussion struck me right then, by luck, I saved all four of us. But I saw a gold glint enter Andy's eyes, a malicious look to them, saying he was hoping. That as a result of the trap, there was no chance of the blaster shot being deflected." he told her and they nodded in amazement.
"I take it that concussion was bad, if Obi-wan said you also collapsed on the girls and Ry'?" Kit asked and he nodded. "Yes it was Master, but to me it was never mind my own health, protecting my team was what mattered. As only by luck did I was prevent the shot from killing her, as the blaster was at maximum stun. As the shrapnel that hit her, I realized, nicked a vein, and we never saw it, before I took care of wrapping it."
"As I saw blood all over her sleeve, wrapping it after tearing a strip off my own tunic, I took care of it and Obi-wan put her into an MIC till we came home. Before the blow to the head caught up with me and I felt like I did after we stepped. That's into the water spring, like Father did after ending up in the water supply system. That you and the trio did, on Belasco." he said to her and she nodded as Jackson nodded in agreement.
