Realizations I: The Attack Of The Clones
Warnings: With this chapter, we get the arrival of the twins, Han, Chewie and Lando arriving as they learn they're getting the next four years to be with their parents now. As they now realize here that it wasn't they thought, but rather multiple instances, that triggered it, as they get a fast tutorial of life in the Jedi Order, and a history lesson in the old republic, as they see their family and the alliance members now,
This is going to be a rewrite from the second assassination attempt, to the end of the prequel trilogy now. As they discover the identity of the Sithlord, and finishing cutting himself in two. As the next story is focused on the attempted arrest to the end of the movie when the twins are born. While this one is going to be from the second attack to the month of his acceptance on the council.

Chapter 10: Family Time And Past Missions Explanations III
"How do we explain this, we're 26 years in the past at the moment, so…" Lando said and he nodded. "You moved to Naboo, after getting exiled from your planet, and applied for citizenship here on Naboo, and my daughter granted it immediately. She and Anakin, who are engaged, are the couple you're working with and Anakin, son, is your younger brother. With you looking just like him, and your sister was my next youngest daughter." Jobal said and he nodded, smiling.
"That's the outside story to everyone else, but inside the family, both sides of it, the alliance and the Jedi, we're the only ones that knew this. So with that, like my daughter, baby, you followed her in everything here now. While Luke chose being a consular, while the twins, one had a dangerous interest in the darkside as a Jedi. The other, your father twins, is Anakin's a Master Guardian, so the family appearance was never more, distinguished here right now in truth."
"But Sola's 30, you're 23 baby and Padme's 25." Ruwee finished gently to him then and he nodded, smiling then. "We better give it two weeks with you, and then head for your family estate, as dad is still looking like I had after the alchemy caused my visions to go berserk." Luke said and Jobal nodded in agreement. "Agreed and I'm just being cautious here, but you're welcome to stay as long as you want, baby." She said and Anakin nodded, as he answered her.
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 Anakin 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. "Anakin, we have to hang in there a little longer, then this will all be over." he said and Anakin said it slowly to that and Adi nodded in agreement sternly then.
"It's wrong you two." he said and Tru said it gently. "Anakin..." he started to say and Anakin said it firmly as Qui-Gon 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 then. "You, alone, you, are going to decide what happens to you, to me and to Ferus, you're going to tell them." he said and Anakin said it forcefully then 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. "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 Anakin said it, as he looked between them sternly.
"Wait a minute, listen to me, I got an idea to get you out of the hotseat here, that this is your only chance right now." he started to say and Ferus snapped at him then. "No you wait a minute!" he snapped back and sighed as he ran his hand through his hair as he said it to him at that remark then. "They got to you, didn't they, Obi-wan, he told you this big speech about duty, truths and honor, well it must have been a pretty good speech."
"Just to make you turn your back on us, us, your friends." he said and Anakin said it sternly to that remark as he looked at him then sternly at that. 'Gods guys, look at your behavior, can't you see right now, Sith home planet. Guys, focus, you're being corrupted by the darkside, Guys fight it, fight it. Don't leave me, 10 years, we can insure we never lose you out of a fatal mistake.' the council and the 8 heard desperately.
"We are Jedi, we have a duty to the truth." he said to him then and Tru said it to him then firmly then 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 Anakin said it firmly as he looked between them at that and as he said it. "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. But remember Master Guardian, it's tempting to break the rules guys, but once you break the small sooner or later, it's the big." Anakin said and the council and the quartet, both age groups, nodded to the opinion 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.' they heard softly 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 at the beyond idiotic and un-Jedi like thing to do at that remark and he said it firmly then 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 right at the moment now."
"So you dropped the bomb, for them and they ran that test, in the your cases, but that test was for Andy, not for you or the duo, Andy was the traitor, he always right now. That he decided here in a cross and double cross that though Darra survived this, it was close. Any closer, Ferus couldn't take the chance and needed to get his nerves back up to par. And before meeting you at Polis Massa, in 3 years at the moment." Han said and he and Padme nodded gently at the remark.
"My best friends, the girls are my sisters, the guys my best friends, that my team was the duos, in young adult and parental adult form with my age group 20 to 22." Anakin said and he nodded. "We always been like this with each other, but what you're about to hear next, is going to be the same with the twins, both age groups now. From you to my grandchildren and their own clan, we share a bond, so do our lightsabers now." he said and Han and Lando nodded, smiling then gently.
"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 then.
"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, a just returned Sithlord, 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 it now." 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 Anakin 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. But 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 Anakin nodded gently. "Not yet, it needs more work, but with my building 20 of these, if Andy fixed it. In 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. "You're welcome, friend." Anakin said in response and Tru chuckled at that response gently. "So new crystals, it also needed new crystals right now." Ferus said smiling at the news and Anakin nodded.
As Leia smiled and Luke said it for both of them. "So we're hearing this between us and your lightsaber, our lightsabers are the children to your own, dad." He said and he nodded. "We share a bond, as do our lightsabers, but this is why if your son's girlfriend, honey, decides. In truth not to check the crystals, the laser is out of focus, and could explode in the middle of training. But you need to change out the crystal son, the model you created with a Sith ability in the crystal."
"Was a Sith trick here now regarding it, so you need to put in a real one in there, but otherwise you're skills are ready. And as you see your old man in action finally here, as we work together, like we were meant to now finally." he said and she nodded. "Hopefully her daughter never attempts this, we knew the dangers, after having seen how close it came to killing Aunt Darra." she said to this. "Like I said, maybe when you're older here." Han said sternly and she 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 Anakin 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 Anakin 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 to him. "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 gently then 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." Anakin 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.
"So that's you and you prevented them from facing expulsion, by first fixing it and then by them admitting to it, before deciding to prove that Andy had a dangerously cold blooded streak. When it came to his rivals as you're more popular, it's always you this and you that. Ferus this and Ferus that, you, you, you, Ferus, Ferus, Ferus, and he was sick of it." Han said and he nodded. "Exactly here right now, I'm the team's best student next to Ferus." he said and they nodded, smiling.
"Brother, Ry', girls we just caught it in time right now, I managed to repair the damage, but we take it slow, Ferus is sending this to you through me though. But that lightsaber needs further surgery done on it, but we got it 85% working capacity." he said and the trio nodded in relief then. "I got through to them after whoever sent those books to us right now, managed to pass us a message right now, but it worked right now."
"Duty to the truth snapped through, the team is okay here now, but 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.
"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, Annie?" 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 him 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. "Yeah guys, you can keep calling me that, still the 9 year old you remember, just 10 years older now." he said and they nodded. "Love you baby brother." She said and he nodded smiling as he said it then.
"Love you too big sister, guys." he said and they nodded, as she exchanged hugs with him then as he looked at Darra gently. "Darra, let me look at your arm, I have to make sure, because if it's you that gets it. That it never reacted with this cut, if it's not a nerve, it struck." 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 ever 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." Obi-wan 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." Obi-wan 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." Obi-wan said and he smiled at him gently. "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.
"I switched settings, he knocked her unconscious girls, Ry', she's okay!"Anakin said and the trio nodded in relief then as their parentals nodded in relief. "There we go, alright so your twin barely got you all killed, but you shoved the blaster into high. And that in turn knocked out your sister, Darra now." Ruwee said and he nodded then. "I told you he had a darkside to him, but I'm Luke in everything that counts now." he said to him gently and Sola and Jobal nodded then.
"This is going to be a long month, and I'm praying I'm wrong here, that he decides not to leave, though we alerted you immediately. And to the fact the blasted thing needed further work done." he said and Adi nodded in understanding then. "We get why, but there's another test passed Annie, in truth, but if you wish to stay a padawan. And for another sum years, we're fine with that right now, with this fallback." Mace said and he nodded.
"I do, 7 more years, is fine, I'm not ready to leave my mentor, I want to stay a padawan a little longer." he said and he nodded, smiling then. "That's fine and once again you proved it that you're ready for the trials, but if you want another 6 or 7 years. That's fine Annie, we'll grant that right now." Ki said and he nodded, as he bowed in acceptance and gratitude trust to the council, as he looked at Yoda with a smile of respect and he smiled then.
"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 gently as Mace nodded in agreement.
"With us on Korriban, I just realized it, the key Master, but accelerated training, code for the darkside, the darkside is faster, easier, more seductive. We decided to sabotage our acceleration, stay padawans, we stay with our mentors." he said and Yoda smiled in approval. "Passed the test of patience and honesty you have, knowing that this well could be dangerous lead you to the darkside, it could." he said and Anakin nodded.
"How serious was the damage done to his lightsaber?" Mace asked and he explained it. "The blast knocked it right out of his hand, and taking a chip the size of a credit coin off it, but after listening closely to sound it made. I realized the the blast put too much strain on the crystals and cracked them, so I switched them out. And before they recharged it, and I compensated for the power boost by adjusting the flux aperture."
"But the blast disrupted the connection and fusing and we had to make an adjustment, but all in all we got it up 95% full power and use. Before it decided to go right as Omega fired, and I thrust my lightsaber in place of his, blocked the first shot. But the second bounced off my lightsaber and hit her, but thankfully here now. Is we switched settings on his blaster from kill to stun, at maximum." he said and they nodded to him.
"She's going to be fine, but turns out that your thoughts were right, the blast hit an artery in her arm. And rather then a vein, so she's in medical recovery Winna and Minga while heal the damage. It could have been a lot worse if you never made that fast decision, we're proud of you." Kit said and he nodded. "Fast case of strategy, and upstaged him, before arresting Zan Arbor, again, I think that's why she was there."
"She was intending to go back to said experiments with genetics, and combined with Omega, he's playing the part of Ona Nobis here. So preventing it, as Master took him out and I arrested her." he said and they nodded in approval. "So you prevented her from getting her hands on one of the 8 of you by switching settings, if her lab. Now has the only anti-toxin for that neurotoxin she used already?" Adi said and he nodded gently then.
"I was the only one that knew what said neurotoxin was, so if he yanked his blaster, I had to prevent one of us from getting kidnapped, after being poisoned. And for the second time in 22 years and us this far out of reach, she could be dead by the time. We get back, I wasn't having it, making sure that instead gone, whoever was injured. And put into an MIC, before they killed her by anemia, or worse." he said and she nodded.
"That was some very quick thinking to save her life, and by the boys and yourself, Anakin, that was also very wise in telling us beforehand, that you did a repair job. And enough now it could be of use till it caved finally." Mace said gently and he nodded. "Yes Master, we decided though in the program, we want to stick together, Master. And for a while longer now, not ready to let go and separate." he said and the 11 nodded gently.
"We understand and that's fine right now." she said and he nodded. "Master with the crisis over Omega finished finally, and Zan Arbor back in jail now. That, with permission, sooner or later, he's going to decide to have us be her personal protection. With your approval, I think it's time I went to see her, she's a senator now, and we're adults now." he said and the council smiled knowingly at that as Mace answered him gently.
"Alright you can go see her, as she gets used to seeing you like this now." Mace said smiling gently and he bowed to him at that. "Eight months sooner then he expected that by the time we reached what we been together. And who knows how long now, as we got used to this now, but at this age now. It's a constant case of trouble here, and frankly I'm in no rush to graduate." he said and Mace nodded and they ended it at that remark.
"You think Andy was trying to get Ferus in trouble?" Adi asked and he sighed. "Frankly I'm not sure I even know him anymore Mother, really, for 10 years. Since you trained us, it's when I looked at him now, I saw myself, we were identical. In everything and now, now he's spending 70% of time with the Chancellor. And you can tell us apart, in more then just colors, but the jumpsuit." he said and Mace nodded in understanding then.
"But the day he chooses that choice, in turning on everything we are, what you trained me to be, if something happens to mom. That is the day I lost my biological family, and I'm not only an orphan, but an only child. That if he allows the darkness to warp his mind, I stayed strong, if there's a power to save lives, I use that to save her now. That's what scares me here, what's happening to him, did being around Palpatine."
"But, in truth now, did warp his thinking or was it just going to this planet, I don't know but I always had you and brother. Siri and the duo, keeping me on the straight and narrow, I stayed strong and resisted. Every time, the holocron, to Korriban, or just building my lightsaber and seeing the Zabrak." he said and they nodded gently. "We understand, but till further notice, the decision of acceleration trials is cancelled now."
"If you're not ready to let go of Obi-wan and want to wait a few more years, that's fine, as like I said pushing harder means going too fast, that's dangerous." Mace said gently then and he nodded. "Agreed, but until I'm ready to let go of the safety net, I'm staying at Obi-wan's side." he said and they nodded."Very well Padawan Skywalker, until you are ready to let go, you shall remain at Obi-wan's side." Adi said and he bowed gently then.
"Brother you never have to worry, though married, I'm still your baby brother, that will never change, I promise you, but when the time comes…." Anakin said and he looked down with a smile as he felt his remark warm his heart. "Yeah I would never want to leave you either dad, either of you, I love being your apprentice." Luke said smiling, looking up at his father, now feeling the true bond he always wanted with his father, as he squeezed his shoulder then.
"I love your godfather, to me, it was a too easy choice, why graduate this soon, I want more time to be with your godparents, they are my family." he said and he nodded. "There's the him his godparents, Master Yoda and I know, the him we knew all our lives. But it was time, time he got reunited with me, and we been together for 9 months, before you arrived now. So you were a certainty now, as a result, we just never expected this now." Padme said and they nodded then.
"I love you too Annie, you are my brother, I love you, the loyalty to me, you seeing what changed me and fixing it, you remember what Master said. You proved it, and that said partnership, team loyalty more then anything." he said and Anakin nodded then. "We made a change to the code this past month, so we're allowed to fall in love now. Get married and start a family, but Vergere's been gone so long, it's alien to her." he said and they nodded then.
"As I would later say here, what she sees our way of doing this is an over reaction, but she has been gone so long right now, that the traditional ways had to change. This is why Palpatine destroyed us so fast, Yoda never changed the code sooner, and you never saw here. He was standing in front of you." Luke said to that and Han and Leia nodded in agreement then. "Agreed, change is nature, the part we influence and it starts when we decide." Lando said to this then.
"Don't worry baby, Han, you have your father with him, this how it is, from age 12 to 26 is one on one, and your mentor becomes everything you need them to be. But with you being a living force, you're partnered to your grandmother, your brother is unifying. He's partnered to your grandfather, we had it one side matched to the other, as they make your other. Stronger as the years go by, such as you not realizing the girl was that powerful." Padme said to them gently.
"Going to be fine, but the training starts at Coruscant and advanced is moved to Yavin now, but if Gallandro makes a come back, though Czethros got to his daughter. And now like any addiction: drugs, ethanol, the darkside, it takes the love and trust of family. And friends to break free now, ask the impossible, it's not impossible but continue thinking that, and things. In truth, are never going to change here now, if her planet is like Melida/Daan now." Anakin said and they nodded.
"And your father did that with his podracer, it looked like a piece of junk, but the engine was ripped off your great uncle's design at the time. Your father built me out of spare parts, and before doing the same with the podracer." Threepio said and they started laughing. "I can guess Aunt Leia and Uncle Dave are Jedi?" Luke said and Padme nodded. They're your grandmother's sister and her husband, Shmi herself is married to Cliegg." she said and they nodded, smiling.
"So the lightsaber now, in truth here was also built from spare parts as a result here now?" Han said and she nodded. "Yeah just our way, why need normal metal to create them or natural crystals, we can make our own by fashioning it in a way our clan mates would never attempt. Though hopefully A.J.'s classmate never tries it too soon, as he, nor your adoptive baby brother developed the discipline or maturity to create it yet." Anakin said and he nodded sternly then.
"And rather then 2 years younger, your brother's 16 years younger and it's 16 years later, for him and his best friend, but the Durron family, their parental Master is Jedi Master Vima Da Boda. Her great grandmother is Nomi Starglider, and there was an important lesson here. In learning the dangers of the lightsaber, something I learned 100 fold, but her husband was killed. And by a band of ruffians and she took his lightsaber and killed then." he said and she nodded in shock.
"What else dad?" She asked and he nodded. "The Zabrak that knocked Father into a coma now, had a double bladed lightsaber your godfather cut in half, the multiple crystals allow. In truth, you to adjust the size of the blade now, but with these types of lightsabers they are twice. In truth as hard to master, then the normal one." he said and he nodded in understanding then. "The education you never had time to master you get that with me now." he said and Luke nodded.
"So we finally see you in action, so you meant that when like you are now, you have a power advantage on him, when like we saw you, he has one on you. And then when the four of us combine with you, Obi-wan and Yoda and we take him out now, okay, we understand." Han said and he nodded. "You're my son in law, but trust me, your kids maybe minor royalty, but you, their parents, uncles, you did everything for yourselves, Artoo just helps us do it better now."
"And that's it, but they cause their droid project to explode, it's a wonder none of them got too close to the damn thing when it had." he said and Padme nodded in aggravation. "You're not having that problem with us, but at least we got up to 12, before 7 years in separate regimes." Leia said smiling and he nodded, gently. "Yeah I know, but the change, you feeling anything different in your memories now?" he said and she nodded, smiling then as she said it then.
"Yeah, you and mom got us up to 12, before she went to Alderaan's sanctuary planet, and I was coming to get you, and we got intercepted by Andy. Before I sent Artoo and Threepio to get you, Luke and Uncle Obi-wan now, and you come in after me. After getting Master Yoda, we understand, so a chance to understand your lives, before Palpatine destroyed our family. And we never had a better time, yeah the mission in the past now is dangerous, we're unborn phantoms."
"A chance to see you, as we grow up with you, that whatever that rule was, the girl marries th3 man most like their father. And Han is just like you, that this was too easy, but Aunt Sola was right, we both give and give, just once we should be allowed to take. And I had, I'm marrying for love, rather then, my duty now." she said and Padme nodded as Han smiled then at the remark. "But this was the biggest of all now, Master Dantallion, as we see dad as you all talk about him."
"We couldn't ask for more now, but there it is, we heard the story a billion times, we knew the truth, as you turn the entire story true and then after completing Luke's predecessor's training. You take him next and you been together for 7 years with another 7 years left, and we're in no hurry to graduate, because it's lonely without someone, either age group to talk to." Leia said smiling and he nodded and Luke smiled, looking forward to the training by their father now.
"I'll be right out soon, brother, I have to talk to the council, but if you want to stay at my side that's fine, I don't mind at all, a while longer is fine, until you're ready to let go." he said and Anakin nodded. "You may go Anakin, and thank you for your report, take your time and we can do you three one by one, but send your twin in please. I'd like to hear here what he has to say here." Yarael said and he nodded as he bowed to him then.
"Hey buddy, you okay, is she okay, I told them everything here?" Anakin asked and he nodded."Your idea of switching settings, before the lightsaber shorted out worked perfectly here, Annie. She got knocked into a coma, but Winna said it's going to take 18 months to 3 years. Just to heal the damage done by the blaster, but we got off easy, but the program got cancelled right now." he said and Anakin nodded in relief then.
"Well that's a relief, we're not separating too soon right now, but…., no, no, Ferus you don't have to leave, we pulled it off, she's going to be okay." he said and he straightened. "Annie we got lucky, what if that happens again, this time in team duo's?" Ferus said gently and he sighed. "Don't go, we been together 10 years, don't let this push you into leaving." he said, gripping his arm and he looked down and they exchanged looks then gently.
"Graduation jitters is that it, you're taking a sabbatical, then coming back?" he asked and he nodded. "Stronger together then, my brother." he said and they nodded then. "Stronger together always." he said in response and they went into a 3-way hug then. "I'm next, and I'll tell them, I'm taking a few years off, then coming home." he said and he nodded gently at that. "Our stories match, that's all the matters." he said and he nodded gently to him.
And he nodded, as they came to a fast decision then. "Master, could we come back in please, we need to talk right now." Anakin said and they heard a gentle response. "Affirmative Annie, you may." Yoda said gently and the trio walked back into the room. "Undergoing a fast decision with twins, I think it best as of now, that I hold his place on your team. And till his graduation jitters are over in truth, Mother." he said and Adi nodded in understanding.
And gently at the remark. "With you entering the tougher portion of your training after the incident with Yaddle, I agree with you. But time to control those premonitions and you starting training as a Master guardian, with our side of the 5 of us now. Having the entire Master Guardian team on one unit now, but I understand here. You don't want to leave your father and me, we understand that perfectly." She said and he nodded then.
"Obi-wan and Father, when he wakes up, understand this, but as you said, my fears, or exhaustion or both, best to double check if the darkside is getting stronger. But as you said the darkside is clouding everything, but we're too close to the situation. We need to back up, get more space, yes one piece of that darkside is destroyed. But what about the others, our Sithmaster was on the planet with the poison she used on Father."
"Was I his target, as up until now, we were completely identical twins here, and now the darkside is getting stronger, but my resolve has never been more certain. I will never turn to the darkside, so long as I have you and Master Windu, Siri, I can resist. But this crossed the line, is he going after everyone I love, to make me choose, the only way to save who I love him is him." he said and she and Mace nodded in understanding.
"Understand we do, Anakin, but this continues and know we do, he's going after the wrong twin, but for right now, understand we do you're furious at your brother. Have every right to be you do, but do not let that anger destroy you, it's time now. Time for advanced training, that move you to Adi and Siri, I will as control the premonitions. You learn to now, if wish to go see the Senator, allow it I will." Yoda said and he nodded.
"Thank you Master, this could be it, and it is, you are the first to know, we're already dear friends, but with a female Jedi unit, she's not getting self conscious. Knowing I'm not watching the camera, in case these guys, whoever it is right now. But it's looking like the prophecy that Kegan told you about is actually focused on us, her and me. Our family, as the darkside created said super weapon." he said and he and Adi nodded then.
"So our Sithmaster this super weapon, he created and we, and your family, combined with the loyalist committee. That is meant to destroy them and him, finally, your family destined to destroy the Sith and bring balance back to the force now. In your side of it, but Andrus, spending too much time around Palpatine, he is. That his choice in clothing, and his lightsaber, highly concerned I am getting." Yoda said and he nodded gently then.
"Well just like to be the first that gets their lightsaber, you chose me to be the first that studied that ability on force healing now, as I continue to train myself. If Palpatine tries anything else right now, but I never trust that old fool whatsoever. But you, you are my family, just like the Senator is, mom and dad are, if she got married now. But quite frankly, you both did such a job on me, I'm never turning." he said and he nodded gently.
"Indeed, training for you I have, to communicate with the afterlife now, this your father, what studying he was, how to become one with the force. And it allows you to force heal as well, so as of today, training you further, in Jedi teachings. That to most, considered un-natural they are, and with it, learn to use force judgement now. You will be, as star pupil of mine you are, Annie." he said and Anakin nodded, bowing gently.
"I never had to think twice, nor in truth question everything you taught me, but there it is now, I am the true chosen one, so with his close to the edge. And something else happens between us being assigned protection duty, if she's attacked again. Best double the units, we have her, Father, when he wakes up, has the investigation." he said and Mace nodded. "Indeed and agree with you, we do right now." Yoda said to that gently.
"Master there is nothing to be afraid of, but if it happens, you are the first to know as another exception is made for me, but the pregnancy. This is the worst time possible right now, for my premonitions to be acting up again at the moment." he said and Yoda nodded in understanding and affection. "Understand I do, but must remember, could be your fears, or could be the darkside now, my apprentice, trust me, you should now."
"And trust in the force, fine everything will be, but this could be another trap, like Yaddle now, your mother, as on detour you and the senator are taking. To check in on your mother and step family you are for that, as trying to make you cave in. To brush the darkside, he is now, understand your attachment with us and share it now. But remember possession, forbidden it is." he said and Anakin nodded, smiling gently then.
"I will I promise here, but our bond still matters most, we just need to tweak a few things, but I still think after this mission right now. That he shouldn't be anywhere near her right now, she and me, we always been close. But if this is it, then it's time, as both sides sides, her committee and we, the Jedi order, create an alliance. My children, their destiny is the committee's future new name." he said and Yoda nodded, smiling then.
