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.

Chapter 12: Family Time And Past Missions Explanations V

"Alright time for the reveal here right now, as a result, as I'm pretending to be Andy for this one, Tru, before this has both of you accusing him of attempted murder. And only by luck did I save all four of us as I lay the boom, just in a different variation to your remark." Anakin said and he nodded sternly in agreement then. "Tru!" he called out and he looked at him. "Do you know anything yet?" he asked and Tru shook his head then, without meeting his gaze fully then.

"I haven't seen much of you lately since we been back." he said gently then."I know." he said and Andy sighed. "I'm sorry about the warning." he said and Tru said it bluntly then. "I deserved it." he said and Andy said it gently. "Why did you go to Ferus to fix your lightsaber instead of me, I would have done a better job on it." he said and Anakin said that from behind him. "Without over loading it again?" he asked and Andy flinched at that.

"After 5 duds in lightsabers, how do we know you try to fix it, and the crystal short circuits and kills her by the power cell?" he asked him sternly and he paled at that, in never considering that thought. "You always rushed the construction to these, something Mace told us never to do, Tolan with him right now. But I spotted the problem, and confronted them, and till I got them to come forward about it, as we got off lightly."

"After a fast debate between us right now, I convinced them, coming forward, before it goes in the fight could prevent said censure, because they told their mentors. And I told Obi-wan, so we're off the hook, but the blast damaged the crystals. And disrupted the flow from the power cell the flux aperture. after fixing it, I said it. We were going to have to run further surgery on it after we got back, and only by luck is she fine."

"And anyway I gave it enough of a fix to prevent it from going till the very end of the fight, I found the problem, and the crystals were cracked, and I replaced them." he said and Andy nodded in shock to that news. "And I never went to Ferus, he came to me, before Annie double checked and finished the repair job. And enough we can fix the damage done when we come home right now." Tru said sternly and then said it to him.

"Annie talked me into telling my master and he let me off with a warning for not telling him sooner, it needed more work on it." he said and Andy said it then. "You were thinking about the mission, we were all thinking about the mission." he said and Anakin nodded. "Yeah, before self preservation kicked in here and we decided on a fast switch around to save her right now." he said to him sternly and Tru nodded in agreement then.

"We did our best, guys and Omega is dead." he said, trying to convince him. "Omega is the son of Father's ex apprentice, before Obi-wan Andy, and what Obi-wan now. Never got the chance to head off with Xanatos resulted in Omega's death by his hands. And don't say this is right, that is totally cold blooded, that for a necessary evil here. To kill a living being without a shred of remorse." he said sternly and they heard a gulp at that.

At that opinion and before Anakin crossed his arms. "We all thought wrong, Andy, and as a result of a very close call, Darra is in a coma!" Tru said in annoyance then sternly as they walked away from him then, before he turned to see Ferus. "Ferus." he said and he nodded. "Andy, I take it you heard." he said and Andy looked at him. "Heard what exactly?" he asked him and he sighed."I'm taking a sabbatical." he said and he looked at him in shock.

"What, why?!" he asked in shock at that. "It's my fault that Darra was nearly killed." he said and he looked at him in disbelief. "That's not true, you couldn't have known…." he started to say and Ferus shook his head as he answered him then. "But I did, I did know, I knew that Tru's lightsaber needed more work done on it. I offered to help him fix it, till your brother finished the repair job, but I did not tell his mentor or my own."

"His lightsaber failed in battle and only by blind luck, did we have the blaster set on maximum stun, as Darra move in front of me. And Annie got his lightsaber in the way of the blast and the ricochet hit her, knocking her into a coma." he said and Andy said it. "But you thought you fixed it." he said and Ferus's blue eyes narrowed. "You knew, you knew Tru's lightsaber was broken, you knew I tried to fix it in secret, you must have."

"Now, seen me repairing it." he said and Andy said it. "I didn't say that." he said and Ferus nodded. "No you didn't, but there are only 2 of us here, Andy, you don't have to lie."he said and he sighed. "When we got back, Annie and I took the lightsaber to Tolan Ling, he told me exactly as Annie said. That the blast damaged the crystals and that-that the fusing between the power cell and the flux aperture needed an adjustment."

"Nothing major, Tru might have noticed that, except that in battle, the power drains faster then normal." he said and Andy said it firmly. "I don't see why you're telling me this." he said and Anakin said it from behind him."Because you fixed the flux aperture before we left for the mission. And you would have known it needed to be rechecked after the power cell boost." he said sternly and he looked between the three of them then.

"You never came to me." he said in response and Anakin nodded. "That's funny." he said and Tru nodded in agreement. "Yeah that's funny alright, shouldn't you have said, 'but I didn't know it was broken!'." he said and Andy said it then. "You're trying to trap me, all three of you are, Tru, I would never do anything to put you in a position…" he started to say then and Anakin crossed his arms as he answered him as they exchanged furious looks at that.

"You wouldn't huh, if you wouldn't then you would have reminded him to make the adjustment or change the crystals, because hearing the crystals. I realized the strain from the blast cracked them, as I switched them out, adjusted the output. And finished the repairs, before we did some surgery on that lightsaber. We got off with a warning, but still, it's bitter sweet, she's in a coma, and he's taking a sabbatical."

"But I saw how you had a slight gold glint in your eyes, a malicious look, with you trapped in that shield trap. That there was a chance it could go during the fight, that you knew I knew it needed more work. And that I couldn't get in front of her in time to save her, Tru, Ferus, that there it was now. There was a slight chance it could go then, and to my most immense relief here, I managed to put the stun mode on it."

"And before he fired the blaster at the moment, before the lightsaber went then at the time, but not my brother, no not my brother. I said to myself, my brother wouldn't do that, but then I thought of how wary you were. Of me after Zan Arbor, you knew how I felt about my powers, I was upset, you would want me. Now to look like the failure, the failure of a Jedi I was, that you claimed me to be, ever since Yaddle was killed."

"Even if it meant not saying anything until it shorts out and one, or all of us, are killed by both Omega and the Sithmaster. You would want me to get blamed for it shorting out or exploding, even if it. Now, meant putting the entire team at risk till one of us is killed." he said and Andy swallowed hard as he said it quickly to that quickly at that. "That's not fair!" he said in denial to that and Anakin sighed as he looked at him sadly at that remark.

And Obi-wan crossed his arms at that reveal, sadly and with disappointed resignation as he said it to him, as he felt his heart breaking at what he did."And suddenly I realized-yes, Andy could have done that." he said and the council crossed their arms. "You're looking at this all wrong." he said quickly and Anakin and Tru shook their heads to that. "I don't think so, I think I truly am seeing you for the first time." he said, as he unloaded it to him finally then.

"Do you even see yourself through my eyes anymore here, from the time we were younglings starting Jedi training, from the time Obi-wan found us. The council and the trio raised us, I know we came in late for training, but still. When I looked at you, I felt like I was looking at a mirror, for 8 years from 9 to 17. It was like looking into a mirror, and forgetting until the lightsaber was on, who of us was who here now."

"As we were identical in everything here now, aside from colors, we were completely identical, identical twins. But matching clothes, boot size, lightsabers, since we were younglings, and suddenly at 17 to now. It's you start dressing in this jumpsuit, you're spending 70% of your time right now. And when not on mission at the arena, talking to Palpatine, what's happened to you." he said, feeling the pain at his change grow in him.

"You always had a dangerous interest in the darkside, did that scum get to you or something, because my brother would speak up immediately. What's happened to you exactly, Andy, did being on that planet take away the you I know. Or did being around Palpatine do it." he asked and he turned away from him, as he wiped his face. "Because this continues and I really am an only child, instead of a twin." he said, trying to control it.

As the duo felt their hearts tear at that remark, knowing what this was doing to him, he loved his brother, but right now, the changes after 10 years of Jedi training. The changes, instead of getting better, had actually gotten worse in his eyes, and he felt like Andy was abandoning him. "I think that says it all, but the you he knows would never pull a stunt like this right now. And where is the you he knows exactly." Ferus said sternly and Anakin nodded, his eyes broken.

As Ferus wrapped his arms around him in a hug and he clung to him at that."Darra wake up, please wake up." they heard sadly and Sola jerked at that. 'Gods why didn't they end the mission sooner then this, his idea worked yes, but this is killing him as his quartet is falling apart.' Jobal thought, sighing, as Ferus pressed his forehead to his and he closed his eyes then, as he tightened his connection to him, as he relaxed then and he looked at Andy with his eyes heavy.

As Tru nodded, as his eyes hardened, as he said it. "That's my opinion as well, I wondered here when we got back I wondered if you knew. I saw how you froze in the tomb, but not my friend, my friend would never do that. But then I thought about you feel about Ferus, how angry you have been, about not being picked first. You would want him to get in trouble, even if it meant exposing me." he said and Andy quickly said it in shock.

"That's not fair." he said at that remark and Anakin sighed as Tru said it for him then. "And suddenly I realized-yes, Andy could have done that." he said and the council crossed their arms at that. "You're looking at this all wrong." Andy said quickly and Anakin and Tru shook their heads to that. "I don't think so, I think I truly am seeing you for the first time." he said sadly, as he turned away from him and as he sighed as he looked at Ferus gently then

"See you outside Ferus, come on Tru." he said and he nodded as they walked away then at that. "Do you see what you have done!" he snapped at Ferus and he nodded. "Yes I see what I have done, but do you?" he asked him and sighed. "I'm afraid for you, you think admitting you're wrong makes you open to attack." he said and Andy said it. "That's not true, I think you should save your concerns for yourself." he said and Ferus flinched,

And at that remark. "If the Jedi send for me, I will return Andy, I promise you that." he said and ended it at that as he too walked away from him, before Obi-wan came out and did the rest of it with it. "Andy, I been looking for you." he said and Andy nodded. "Do you need me?" he asked him then he shook his head. "No I…, Andy is something wrong?" he asked and he sighed. "Ferus is taking a sabbatical." he said to him and he sighed at that news.

"I was afraid he would do something…, like that, he feels Darra got hurt, so strongly." he said and Andy sighed. "The legacy of this mission is a great enemy has been defeated, I saw him go down." he said and Obi-wan said it."That is not an act that should bring you satisfaction, young padawan, I took a life." he said to that sternly then. "It was done as a last resort, and it rid the galaxy of a great evil, therefore it was a necessary."

"And right." he said and Obi-wan said it firmly then. "Necessary yes, but right, that is not word to throw around lightly, we can not say it is right, we can only do our best." he said and Andy sighed."As you do padawan, as you never give less then your best, I'm proud of the Jedi that you become." he said and Andy nodded. "Thank you Master." he said humbly and Obi-wan sighed gently at that as he went further at that remark then gently.

"And I wanted to tell you that the Jedi council has decided they won't speed up the trials for padawans, your knighthood will have to wait a longer. But when the time is right, you'll take the trials, and I have, no doubt you'll astound us all. Until then, we will work together, there is so much left to do and I'm grateful to have you at my side. For a little longer…, Andy are you alright?" he asked him and Andy nodded gently at that then.

"Oh gods, I forgot here, Obi-wan our sparring match, I need to switch blue for red." he said and he nodded, as he typed in the sparring exercises, between him and Andy. "Like I said, you spend as much time practicing your lightsaber form, as you do. On your wits, you'd rival master as a swordsman here now, but your's is more a mixture. Of Soresu and Vapaad Anakin." he said and Anakin nodded smiling. "Yeah, still we train." he said and they smiled then.

"In order to deal with Andy we take him alive and Sidious is executed." Anakin said and Mace and Yoda nodded. "Agreed." The council and Obi-wan said together at that. "Indeed and clearly been listening to us too much you have been now, but as said I did, that misguided. Is his faith in the darkside, and his faith in you, padawan." Yoda said smiling and he smiled. "The me you know is back in place, that he lost this now, but the other version here now."

"Would be if we never did that detour and headed home to check on mom, so he lost, as the me you raised is firmly back in place." he said and they nodded smiling, knowing their decision to change things saved him. "The learner is short for Padawan Learner, Han, it's the ancient term for Jedi student." he said and they nodded. "So still a padawan at your, their, current age, but he's more skilled here and she's started finally in her own training." he said and they nodded smiling.

"Yeah, but I knew he, Andy had a cold blooded streak, but to risk the team's life to show he's not as everyone sees him, perfect, that is both cold blooded and callous." Ruwee said sternly and he nodded gently then. "And as everyone knows, girls date the bad guy, but they never bring him home, they marry the good guy now, and that's you baby, but you and my daughter. I never been prouder, just be careful, stay safe now." Jobal said and she and Anakin nodded smiling to her.

"Hence that remark he exchanged with Padme now, but let me play that back, hang on." he said to him then, as he turned that on. "Better give the one you had, as he was calling me by name rather then title, when I belong to you. And you get back that night, and was hiding in my room, till he realized that they had trouble and cut the damn things in half." She said and Anakin nodded. "He was distracted by his lust?" Han repeated and he nodded and Leia crossed her arms.

"But from here on, as you see this from my point of view, as you see us together, before you and Obi-wan arrived in my apartment. So you know what to expect, and this was pre no confidence vote, as we removed Sidious from control. And the clones are programmed to a new supreme chancellor." she said and he nodded as Luke and Han crossed their arms then. "The second half here now was this, but this was a month ago." Anakin said and they and Leia nodded sternly.

"You mean this was before you went to check on Grandma, you just came home from wherever?" She asked and he nodded. "Yeah, we just came home from Ansion, partnered with Luminara and her padawan Barris, and we just came home from Ansion at the time. Before Mace gave us the details, and I learned her friend, who was another one of her handmaidens. The girls are chosen to be her decoys, she was killed in the explosion, Boba's father had hired a changeling now."

"And she destroyed the ship and killed one of the girls, her name of Cord'e now, as I know 5 of the 7, and Sabe now, was pretending to be her now." he said and they nodded then. "So the one we're meeting with Greg?" Han asked and he nodded. "Dorme now, she's your nanny, but she's been with me since we were girls now." Padme said and they nodded gently then. "Okay, so Dorme, Rabe, Sabe and Eri'tae are still alive, Cor'de on protection duty." Sola said in relief then.

"Issues with the girls Sis, in all truth, but in addition to them and Gregar and his security troops now at the moment here. Is we now have your niece, my daughter, her husband and his friends protecting me here, while Chewie's younger self is busy with Master. Before the clock runs out and instead of alter ego is now clone on the loose and Annie is two separate identities here now." She said and she, their parents and Darred all nodded to that, smiling in relief at the remark then.

"Before she revealed herself to us and Nass, when we came here and joined forces with the gun guns now, but here is I was pulling a double shift. But the fact I crashed the speeder was enough to tell them, the council and your godfather, time to take me off rotation here. As your mother decided on the chosen hiding place and we moved it here, but your grandparents. We're staying 3 weeks right now, and till he radios me now." Anakin said and she and Luke both nodded, smiling.

"Boss Nass is the leader of the Gun-Gun leadership and council, and decided to promote Jar-Jar to General, before Captain Tarpals, in helping him neutralize the MTT he was hanging off of. And by a shock ball sized energy ball and said struck the battle droid driving it." he said and Han started laughing at that remark. "Talk about crazy pre padawan training and this was pre 10 years old at the time, my babies are learning somethings about grandpa and grandma they never expected."

"Here, later on now." Leia said, smiling and he nodded. "Just like you and your brother, you knew your mother's and my life, before you were born now. That they're you, in the next generation, only difference here, is you're, like the family Wicket and his tribe walked into. Grew up in the Alliance and you and your brother are us in every sense of the word now here. But you're more like us then you know baby, in time you'll come to understand how much." he said gently to her.

"If they do break away…" they heard from Mace and they heard the hated voice of the man that destroyed their family. "I will not let this Republic.., that has stood for a thousand years be split in two: My negotiations will not fail." he said and he calmly said it. "If they do, you must realize there aren't enough Jedi to protect the Republic: We're keepers. And of the peace, not soldiers." Mace said gently to him and he looked at Yoda then gently.

"Master Yoda: Do you think it will really come to war?" he asked and Han crossed his arms. "As if you don't know that, you engineered this to kill my in-laws and Lando's grandfather." he said sternly and Anakin nodded sternly in agreement then to his remark. "Hmm, the dark side clouds everything: Impossible to see the future is." he said and Luke nodded. "As you told me, even you can't see the future, I should have listened to you." he said gently to him then.

And at the remark, before a Rodian appeared on the radio. "The Loyalist Committee has arrived, Your Honor." Luke translated and Han nodded in understanding. "Huttese is the primary language of Tatooine, I speak it too in private but there's why. In truth your brother and I are so close, he and I share a lot of things in common, his childhood was mine down to the limit. Aside from the slavery." Anakin said and Leia nodded in understanding as Luke crossed his arms.

"Makes perfect sense here now, Obi-wan could see I was I becoming you in every sense now, I love my sister and friends with everything in me. If giving myself up was the only option, I would to protect them, but hearing the truth from you, was too much." he said and Anakin and Padme both nodded to him gently. "I know, but before you learned to handle a full master in being a Sith, you had to be trained, if you stayed with me, I would teach you everything as you and I, now."

"Got ready to take him out, as I returned fully, but no need to now, as I raise you as I train you now." he said and he and Leia nodded then. "Yeah lightsabers at 12: as I train till I'm ready and Leia sends for me, but boys, bring her lightsaber to me, and I can bring it back to her. When she send the blueprints to us, as Han, Chewie and I get her out and we split up here. To handle it, as it's a repeater of the garbage chute again." Luke said and Threepio nodded to the orders then.

"Like you stashed your's in me, you want me to do the same with her's, Master Luke?" Artoo asked and he nodded. "I do, but like before, she stashed the blueprints of the bloody thing inside you, stashed her lightsaber in your dome, and you guys get off his star destroyer. We knew about Andy for years to know this, mom is alive and with our brother on Alderaan II. The guys are in Mos Eisley, and you come to Bestine and a hitch a ride to Grandpa's farm now, with the Jawas."

"As we round up our family, and once we destroy the damn thing, we're evacuating Yavin, and moving to a new location, but dad's under orders by our side of the council. To stay with Carl and the Rogues now, so we stay there till we relocate a second time, match it as closely as possible." he said and Lando, Han and Leia nodded as Chewie gave a growl of agreement. "Great, Alexander is going to kill Dack for getting too close after he told him not to." Han said and he nodded then.

"Alright boys, another thing is we're keeping it like normal, Threepio you're with Leia, Han, Chewie and me, while Artoo stays with Luke now, okay." Lando said and they nodded as Artoo gave an 'okay' beep to him then. "Issues in this family, so long as we're one, nobody evil is ever going to win this fight, but our families were tightly bonded and the best of friends. Though how Tolan takes this is anyone's guess when he finds out, honey." Han said and she nodded gently.

"Agreed, and are they trying to kill themselves, but as mom would say, I give and give, just once I should be allowed to take and I will with you, but yeah you were a smuggler. Doesn't mean anything, I see passed the rough edges to your personality and this time you chose. In the end to stay and we deal with things together like we always have." She said and he nodded smiling and she hugged him and he tightened his arms around her in response then and Luke smiled then.

"I think in the end I ended up getting married to Uncle Mace's padawan here, then again I'm attracted to red heads and Cammie was one, at the time. But you're right, I'm borderline Master Guardian, she is one, so I should be turquoise instead of emerald green here. But top rate fighter and I'm great at diplomacy, so the entire family are master guardians in both generations." he said and Anakin nodded with a chuckle at the news then as he looked between his children.

"Is that what Dack's father's name is: Alex?" Padme asked and Han and Leia nodded gently. "Yeah and Dack got overly eager, using a case of farm boy intuition, we figured out how to take it out. In the AT-AT's, while Chewie and I were trying to fix the engine on my ship, or Uncle Dame's. But knowing in why Tahl sent us to Bespin, was to pick up Lando, as they, Dane. Ferus and Tru's kids were picking each other up, and regrouped up in the Haven." he said and she and Anakin nodded.

"Like he said, don't shoot the damn door, it's magnetically sealed, that put that away, and let me handle this, before the blast strikes one of us. Our lightsabers cut through any substance known, that we have to get out, before that thing attacks us, again." Leia said and Han nodded sternly and knowing she and her brother were working in tandem now, now that they had mastered it. In the twin empathy link between them at the remark, as they worked in getting themselves out.

"And never mind their trying to over ride the system, we can cut our way, as you and Chewie have your blasters, we have our lightsabers, but that is going too far here. Multiple distractions, and before we all end up on the docking bay, as dad and Uncle Obi-wan deal with Andy. Before we escape this time and Dad has the piloting while we deal with the shooting." Luke said and she and Han nodded as Chewie gave a growl of agreement to that and Padme chuckled at the remark.

"Zett for force's sake is now really the time for this." Chewie said and Luke started laughing at that. "To answer that he had a run in with an ice creature as we were doing our rounds on Hoth, before I went looking for him, knowing he's really my brother in law. I knew she would say here to take care of him, or vice versa, in her case, with us separated at the moment." he said and Anakin nodded in understanding. "Well you I trust, kiddo." he said and he smiled at that remark.

"Issues in the honor family, but the terming now, I had orders to take care of her till we found him, knowing where on Tatooine Jabba's palace was, I knew for a fact Lando would find him. As the team was put back in one piece here now." Chewie said and Anakin nodded then. "Uh huh, and hearing your exchange, me as me, I felt my heart tear at your remark and reaction now. But hearing your brother's scream, my heart shattered when I realized Andy killed Obi-wan now."

"Andy and Sidious took everything from me, your mother, my friends, everything, that a chance to fix this, has never been more welcome, as you see me for me now. Rather than him, but the remark here now, of knowledge of the ages, I use what I learned from this. The way that Junior will, as he showed here, in time you're going to heal, but for now, I have to make my own path. Healing my heart in one way, by undoing the damage I caused here." he said and they all nodded.

"Kyp and Junior now, like me, all suffered the very same trauma now, like your brother and Mara had at the moment, Mara's no older then you, and Mace is going after her. Before Sidious turns her into his hand, as for the Nightsisters, in human form, they start up again. And Tenenial's daughter needs to let go of her pride at the moment here, it's dangerous. So as I said, pride leads to arrogance and arrogance is sin, so humility." he said and they all nodded, smiling at that then.

"Good." he said and he said it. "You want to let them in now." he said and he nodded. "Send them in." he said and then turned to the council then. "We will discuss this matter later." he said to them and stood up, as the quartet turned to her then. "Senator Amidala, your tragedy on the landing platform- terrible, seeing you alive. Brings warm feelings to my heart." Yoda said gently to that response and she smiled and Han nodded as he answered that response.

"I take it this just scared the heck out of them now?" Luke asked and she nodded. "With pretending to be twins, I had them monitoring things on my side of the team here. Knowing your mother and me were involved here in a relationship here, the rules gave another exception. Before we decided to pull the security card luring him into a false sense of security now, in truth and she belonged to me, that Mace knew here, I wasn't taking this well when I found out now."

"Knowing as a Master Guardian I could pull the impossible and as that is not a word we had in our vocabulary as Jedi. As I just came home from Kamino, with Siri, in checking on the army, and Siri and I figured this was meant to distract me, Adi and Mace the same. That in the case trouble started up again, as we still never let it go and I been holding Ferus's spot till he came home. So Adi and Father swapped Padawans till he did." he said and the quintet nodded in understanding.

"Like Obi-wan said here, that leave to us in getting off the ship and deactivating the tractor beams, but he's letting Andy go early and taking me back. And for the following 3 years, but graduation is at 26 now in my case, 10 years as a knight and 5 more as a master. Leading into when you guys found each other, that the separate training regimes start at age 12." he said and the twins nodded smiling as they watched their parents relationship with the council then gently.

"Good to see you again, Masters Jedi, how's Annie?" she asked and he smiled. "He's fine, he's on his way back from Kamino, and Obi-wan just came back now. From a mission to Ansion." Ki said and she nodded, smiling in delight and Yoda hid a chuckle, knowing she adored him as a big brother, as Anakin was her boyfriend and they were about to take the next step. And to being engaged, knowing then here, that they decided on another exception after he decoded it.

In the prophecy and the visions that the Keganites described now finally, it was meant to be now, that they and the Committee became one against the Sith empire now. "Do you have any idea who was behind this attack?" she asked and he nodded. "Our intelligence points to disgruntled spice miners on the moons of Naboo." Mace said and she nodded. "Not trying to sound outspoken Master Windu, but I think that Count Dooku was behind it here."

"But it's like it's starting again, he's involved with the Zabrak's mentor and Nute Gunray again, so once again, this brings you and the boys back into my life. And reset the last 10 years, that hopefully he chooses now to wake up, as you have me. And he has the investigation, Master Yoda." she said and he nodded. "Could be right you are, you are, and looking into that, we are now." Yoda said sternly to that and Mace nodded in agreement then.

"He is a political idealist, not a murderer." Ki said gently, praying that remark wasn't true, as it was, and this was the reason Dooku left, as he left after the Darkside knocked their best friend. And into a coma at the time. "You know, milady: Count Dooku was once a Jedi, he couldn't assassinate anyone, it's not in his character." Mace said gently and Yoda nodded. "But for certain, Senator..., in grave danger you are." he said to her gently at that and she nodded.

"Masters Jedi, may I suggest..., the senator be placed..., under the protection of your graces." Palpatine said and Han nodded sternly. "It's a trap." he said and Luke nodded. "Do you really think that's a wise decision under these stressful times?" Bail asked and Leia nodded in agreement. "Agreed, as if dad's premonitions going berserk are not enough he chooses now, to have Andy and Uncle Obi-wan assigned to her." Luke said sternly to that remark then.

"Chancellor, if I may comment, I do not believe.." she started to say and he finished the sentence. "The situation is that serious.., no, but I do, Senator." he said and she said it quickly to that remark. "Dad told you that Andy was with Uncle Obi-wan and he been moved to Aunt Siri." She asked and Padme nodded to her then. "I realize all too well that additional security might be disruptive for you..., but perhaps someone you're familiar with."

"An old friend, like Master Kenobi." he said and chose at random. "That's possible: He's just returned from a border dispute on Ansion." he said, and Han nodded. "He's swapping Uncle Obi-wan with Aunt Siri, only the Uncle Bail knows that as you said. That he's your best friend, mom, and you as the committee can see this for what it was now. Distraction, so he can kill grandma through the Raiders." Leia asked and she nodded, smiling then gently at that.

"Do it for me, milady, please, the thought of losing you..., is unbearable." he said and Lando crossed his arms. "You liar!" Padme growled at that, now seeing this for what it was, as she heard the cold menace she never heard then and Anakin with her. "I will have Obi-Wan report to you immediately, milady." Mace said to her then. "Check out the cold blooded smile on his face, he wants you distracted, so you never check on grandma." Luke said to that then sternly.

"Is anyone else remembering what happened directly after you assigned Obi-wan and Anakin to me, Master Yoda, Mace?" She asked and they nodded sternly. "We are right now and like you, is we're seeing him for what he is right now, and that suggestion was to distract you. But nice try, with Chancellor Valorum back in command and his giving a fast freebie to check on Shmi, so that solves that." Kit said sternly to her and he and Padme nodded sternly.

"Thank you, Master Windu." she said and it jumped forward to him then. "Jump forward to his and Obi-wan's arriving at my apartment the other night." She said and he nodded. "This remark on the gundarks, was not long after Yaddle got knocked into a coma and Zan Arbor. Now, was back on the loose." he explained to them and the quintet nodded, as they saw him and Obi-wan, in the turbo lift. "You seem a little on edge." Obi-wan said then and he said it shakily at that.

"Not at all." he said to him then. "I haven't felt you this tense..., since we fell into that nest of gundarks." he said and he said it with a laugh. "You fell into that nightmare, Master..., and I rescued you, remember?" he said to him then. "Oh..., yes." he said and with a smile as they shared a gentle laugh at that. "What he means by this, is we share a psychic link between us, everything I feel he can sense and vice versa here." he said and Leia nodded then.

"So a Jedi can sense the emotions of their mentor or their padawan, we all share a bond here, and we're family to each other." Leia said in understanding and he nodded. "Exactly here, but the connection was formed now between Father and Obi-wan, after we ended up in the middle. Between Offworld and the Arconan Mining Corps now, as a result, after one of the heads, a Hutt beat the heck out of your godfather, after he nearly never got chosen." he said to her then gently.

"Offworld was run by Father's original apprentice, a man named Xanatos, and his student, as a Dark Jedi, was none other then the Chuns oldest son: Bruck." He said and they nodded. "So was this where this formula that Palpatine used on you came from, this character created it. Back before he went back to his home planet, and Grandfather never got over it at the time. And before they found you, as he realized what was coming now." Luke said and Anakin nodded.

"Yes it was, I just connected the dots." he said and they nodded then. "So you considered yourself apart of their team, though they hadn't found you yet, till they and mom. Now, made an emergency landing on Tatooine." Han said and he nodded gently to him. "Hold on a second this is what I looked like as a youngling of going on 10 now, I started on my 10th birthday. And ended pre Padawan training at the time." he said, showing them his 10 year old self then at the remark.

"All slaves have a transmitter placed inside their bodies somewhere." She said and Andy nodded. "I've been working on a scanner to try and locate mine, because I think mine is marked in the same place Annie's is." he said and she finished gently. "Any attempt to escape..." she said and Andy nodded. "And they blow you up!" he said and Jar-jar said it to that. "How wude!" he said and Padme nodded in agreement as they were talking then gently.

"I can't believe there's still slavery in the galaxy, the Republic's antislavery laws..." she started to say and she said it gently, but with a stern tone. "The Republic doesn't exist out here, honey, you have to understand, the Outer Rim is not under the Republic domain now. We must survive on our own." she said and Anakin said it gently to ease the sting. "So has anybody ever seen a Podrace?" he asked and she shook her head and Qui-Gon nodded.

As he answered him gently to him then at that. "They have Podracing on Malastare: very fast, very dangerous." he said and Anakin nodded. "I know and I just realized this, but there is only one type of person, human, that can do this. Race and come out unscathed here by the race, but my brother and I, I'm the only human. When on the planet who can do it, but I was holding back to prevent getting seen." he said and Qui-Gon nodded.

"Smart move, if the person involved with the Trade Federation is dangerous, or a Dark Jedi, even a Sith, you shouldn't expose your powers too soon here." Han said and Lando nodded in agreement to that remark, before a demo of his own, as they saw Jar Jar. "Is that your friend, the gun gun?" Lando asked and he nodded then, as he snipping food out of the bowl. Before the third attempt caused a split second reaction and as they saw Qui-Gon catch his tongue as he said it.

"Don't do that again." he said sternly and let go, and Anakin said it carefully then. "You're a Jedi knight, aren't you, both of you are now?" he said, as Andy, and she looked at Qui-Gon. "What makes you think that?" he said and Anakin shook his head. "Andy, this not a good time, after you walked right into the Sithlord that is the Master here. And of the one that attacked them on her planet." he said sternly and he said it as he looked between them.

"I saw your laser sword, only Jedi's carry that kind of weapon." he said and Anakin nodded. "Point of fact, you seen Aunt Leia and Uncle Dave carrying them, it runs in the family here Andy. But we had these hidden, just so our friends wouldn't get hurt here at the moment. And for the record, after you destroyed your first attempt, it's a wonder you never put yourself in the tank." Anakin said sternly and Padme nodded in agreement.

"Agreed these things are not a toy, but a dangerous weapon, so you had reached the level now where Master Yoda deemed you ready to create your own now hmm." Qui-Gon said to him gently and he nodded. "You remember my Aunt and Uncle: Dave and Leia Starglider, I'm the Annie that Master keeps telling you about now. Nickname of Anakin, I go by Annie with my friends and family here." he said to him and Qui-Gon smiled gently.

At the news then. "So the one that got defensive of being a Slave now was Andy, yes alright that helps right now." Padme said, smiling and he smiled at her gently in affection "Alright let me see it then, because if your idea is what I'm thinking here, then you're the one doing the piloting to get us off the planet. Especially if whoever is with the Trade Federation is looking for us, he found you too." he said sternly to that in agreement.

"I have one Andy, and I'm not a Jedi, yet at the moment, though if he's here, his padawan is protecting her crew. And you destroyed your's by accident, but even normals, in truth, can create one if necessary here Andy. Far more powerful than a vibro-blade, that another attack by Krayne, he loses a limb or worse. And everyone here is free now, you can carry or use one now, without being a Jedi." he said in response then.

And to that remark sternly then. "As such here I been training with practice until, Master Yoda gave the go ahead to start my gathering. And I landed on a few dozen crystals the one most in amounts is red, which was a bad sign here. At the moment, if we had that black cloaked character show the other day at the moment here." He said sternly then and she and Shmi nodded in agreement to his opinion as Artoo gave a beep of agreement then.

And Qui-Gon nodded in agreement to that. "Perhaps I killed a Jedi and took it from him." he said and he said it bluntly. "I don't think so: No one can kill a Jedi." he said and Anakin flinched, as he saw the pain in his eyes. "Not quite, from the pain in his and Obi-wan's eyes, I would say they lost someone dear to them, who was a Jedi." he said and he nodded gently as he answered him and Luke nodded in understanding, knowing it was Tahl then.

"Yes, but as for that consideration, I wish that were so, we are human, or humanoid now. But we're not all powerful, we can be hurt, we can be killed, and a friend, who is an adult version of you. Was barely killed by blood loss, that same person that did him weakened me severely." he said and Anakin nodded gently as he looked at him. "I understand perfectly, Father." he said with a new title and Shmi nodded sternly to the news.

"If I am to join the team, I need to know why we got your old missions suddenly coming back into the fold. Before it has the team wondering in what is going on around here." he said and they both nodded. "I had a dream I was a Jedi, I came back here and freed all the slaves: Have you come to free us?" Andy asked and Anakin said it sternly. "Andy, really right now, the only way we can be free is by patience, but I carry the key."

"Now, but in order to be free, is by killing Krayne, he's a menace and once that needs to neutralized, but I think. No, I know, that the Council intend to infiltrate his operations on Nar Shadaa." he said and Qui-Gon nodded to confirm that gently. "And to answer the question: no, I'm afraid not." he said to him then and he said it determinedly. "I think you have, why else would you be here?" he asked and Anakin sighed as he looked at him them.

"Want to say it or should I Father, I guessed correctly, that you took a detour and before flying here now, and with it, ended up with a tag along while doing it, though in this case now here I'm the more experienced of the two of us, and I been in training by Aunt Leia and Uncle Dave for the last 5 years now." he said and he nodded. "Yes and I can see that, I also see that there's no fooling you, Anakin, you took the correct answer.

" As we're on our way to Coruscant. The central system in the Republic... on a very important mission." he said to him and he nodded to the news as he looked at Artoo, who gave a gentle beep to him then and he nodded. "What happened exactly, if Artoo looks like he ended up with more carbon scoring exactly?" he asked and Andy nodded to that in shock. "How did you end up out here in the outer rim?" he asked and Padme explained that to him.

"Our ship was damaged, and we're stranded here until we can repair it." she said and he smiled. "I can help, I can fix anything." he said and Qui-Gon smiled. "I believe you can." he said and Anakin nodded as he answered that gently. "But first, before we can repair it, we have to win the race, but mom, if you don't mind here. After he crashed the last time, this is to be my next to last race on Tatooine." he said and she nodded sternly to him then.

"For the last time, Annie, this and the Harvesters, and whatever else, if the sextet are at the games, and then time to focus on your training fully." she said and Qui-Gon nodded in agreement. "Yes, but first we must acquire the parts we need." he said and Jar-Jar sighed then. "Wit no-nutten mula to trade." he said and Padme nodded. "These junk dealers must have a weakness of some kind." he said and Shmi nodded gently as she answered her then.

"Gambling: Everything here revolves around betting on those awful races." she said and Qui-Gon nodded gently. "Podracing: Greed can be a powerful ally, if used correctly now, Anakin, you're the more skilled of the two of you, could you…" he asked and Anakin nodded as he answered him then. "I can, but his podracer was severely damaged in the last race, but mine now, I spent the last 3 years working on it, purposely making it."

"In truth here, looking like a piece junk to hide it's value from him, but there's your way, so as he would say, you supply the entry fee and the podracer, he supplies me and done now, but I been honing my skills the last 4 years now, it just needs a paint job and I got to tune the engines, but we're good to go." he said and they nodded gently to him then. "I built a racer it's the fastest ever, there's a big race tomorrow on Boonta Eve.

"You could enter my pod." Andy said and she said it sternly then to that opinion then as she said it. "Andrus, Watto won't let you." Shmi said and he said it then. "Watto doesn't know I've built it, you could make him think it was yours..., and get him. To let me pilot it for you." he said and she said it firmly then ti that remark here then. "I don't want you to race, it's awful, I die every time Watto makes you do it." she said gently and Anakin said it.

"Andy, without the force, the next crash could prove fatal this time, I have more skill to get through it unscathed. I been doing this by the force for the last 4 years, and this is the test to prove it, I'm ready for advanced training now. I also just built my lightsaber, so now I'm a real junior padawan, ready to start advanced now." he said and she nodded, "Agreed Annie, you do it, you're the better pilot." she said to him and Andy said it then.

"But, Mom, I love it, the prize money would more than pay for the parts they need." he said and Anakin said it sternly with a firm tone of no in his voice to that objection then finally at that. "But if you crash one more time, they can't leave at all, I have to do this, I had more training in trusting my instincts here, as they both would tell me. Feel, don't think, just trust my instincts, stretch out with my feelings." he said and Qui-Gon nodded sternly.

"Like me dad in truth, trust my feelings here, they never steered me wrong before, use that and use it to find the weakness now. Use the force, feel, don't think, just use my instincts here, go without the targeting computer?" Luke asked and he nodded, smiling then. "Exactly, and very good son, you understand here now, they got you this far, I'm taking you the rest of the way. And as I start her next now." he said and Han smiled as he was looking forward to seeing him at it.

"Anakin, you be the pilot, just you be careful." Shmi said and Padme nodded gently then. "Your mother's right, I choose you Anakin, to be my pilot, but if this doesn't pan out. Is there anyone friendly to the Republic who can help us?" he asked and she sighed. "No." she said and he nodded. "Mom, you say the biggest problem in this universe is nobody helps each other, my good deed, no thought of reward." he said to her and she nodded.

Then, gently at that remark then. "Yes indeed, but your brother, I'm scared to death of another crash, he hasn't your skill to trust the force and do this. So you handle this, Andrus is the younger of the twins here in truth." she said and he nodded and Padme nodded in understanding. "I'm sure Qui-Gon doesn't want to put your son in danger, we'll find some other way." she said and Shmi shook her head as she looked at her gently then.

"Once I do this, get him off the planet, I'm staying a little longer here now, to handle a few things, but no father. I had this odd feeling we were meant for something. Though if that character in the black cloak is it, they're back." he said and Qui-Gon nodded. "There is no other way, Master Jinn, I may not like it, but he can help you, he was meant to help you." she said sternly then and he nodded, as that finalized things then gently at that.

"Honey, I need to get the deal finalized, because Andy is going to be arguing for a chance to do the pit stop to the 3rd lap here. But do that, it could kill the Pod, again, so I'm doing the entire race here, but I have to get Andy off the planet. After our possible darksider arrived, before you had now, he must be the apprentice to one that explains why you hitched a ride to the surface." Anakin told them and she nodded to the news.

"Today and tomorrow's going to be a long day now, but you I can trust right now, but your twin, Master Jinn, are you sure about this. Trusting our fate to a boy we hardly know, the queen will not approve." she said, reverting to her handmaiden stage again. "The queen doesn't need to know." he said and she sighed. "Well, I don't approve." she said as she followed him in. "Who would exactly, but stand by." Qui-Gon said and he nodded then.

"Oh boy, that argument had to have gotten heated right now, Jeesh alright Watto, what the heck happened in here right now." Anakin said, seeing the mess in the corner of the pile Jar-Jar barely knocked over and he nodded. "What happened exactly here, if we had a power burst at the moment here, Watto, hmm?!" Anakin said and he sighed as he said it. "Temper tantrum Annie." he said and he nodded sternly to the news as he answered him.

"And that's not appropriate, a Jedi doesn't throw temper tantrums." he said sternly and Qui-Gon nodded in agreement. "The boy tells me you want to sponsor him in the race, how can you do this, not on the Republic credits, I think." he said to him then gently. "My ship will be the entry fee." he said as Anakin saw his wife's personal transport then. "Not bad! not bad, huh, Nubian, huh?" he said and and Qui-Gon nodded gently as he answered him then.

And at the remark. "It's in good order, except for the parts I need." he said and Watto nodded. "What would the boy ride, he smashed up my pod in the last race, it would take some long time to fix it." he said and Anakin nodded. "I win this and I can fix the pod, once back on the capitol, Watto." he said and he nodded. "The Dug, I saw the podracer, orange pod the engines now, looking like a version of gun barrels, so let me take a guess."

"Your engines are a Jedi handicap, meant to make the racing more fun between you, as being Jedi, our powers give an unfair advantage." Luke said and he nodded and Leia started laughing at that, knowing their father was the best pilot. There in their galaxy next to her boyfriend as a result. "It wasn't my fault, really: Sebulba flashed me with his vents, I actually saved the pod, mostly." Andy said and he nodded gently as Watto said it with a bemused smile then.

"That you did, the boy's good, no doubts there, huh?" he said and Qui-Gon nodded. "I have acquired a pod, by a friend of mine, the Stargliders, the pod, based on what Dave told me. Said is the fastest ever built." he said and he nodded gently. "Very well then, you supply the pod and the entry fee... and I supply the boy, we split the winnings 50-50, I think, huh?" he said and Qui-Gon nodded, as he considered that thought at the remark then.

As he answered him then gently at that. "Watto, in order to get this met, you're going to have bet for me, rather then again. And because without that, everyone knows I'm a padawan, what's the one rule non sensitives created when gambling against a Jedi?" he asked and Watto nodded "If it's going to be 50-50..., then I suggest you front the cash for the entry, if we win... you keep all the winnings, minus the cost of the parts I need."

"And if we lose, you keep my ship, that either way, you win." he said and he nodded gently. "Deal." he said slapping his palm then gently. "Annie, head home, I will be there soon, I want to see this podracer, because if it's like everything else you upgraded, it's camouflaged." he said and Anakin nodded to the request. "You know me, Watto, to protect the value of whatever…" he said gently and Watto nodded with a chuckle at the remark then.

"Yes, you purposely make it look like a piece of scrap metal, best finish the engines, so we can run a test flight, before you push it to full tomorrow." he said and Anakin nodded as he headed for home then gently at that. "Obi-wan, brother, bring the ship behind my house at the slave barracks, you're safe there now." he said into the comlink, and they flew the ship to his house. "Captain Panaka, I'm Anakin Skywalker." he said and he smiled.

"Hey big brother, nice to meet you finally." he added smiling and Obi-wan looked at him in affection then. "You as well right now, so you're the one that has been in training now, since you were an 5 year old youngling. And Master granted you permission to create your's, okay." he said and as he said it. "What's the verdict, Anakin?" Obi-wan asked and he smiled. "He agreed, we're good to go." he said gently and Obi-wan nodded smiling in relief.

"Alright let's get to it." he said and he nodded as he said it then. "But in truth, Andy had a run in with banking clan member dressed in black cloak now. Does that mean anything to you and Father." he said and Obi-wan nodded sternly. "Yes and we had our fair share of dealing with jet black clothing and red lightsabers, if you saw one on his belt. There's one of three characters it could be and I'm praying here I'm wrong, they're back now."

"The them, being Sith now, like Father would say later here, that after we wiped them out, this could mean by finding you, that the prophecy just activated. To explain, your sister, my adopted baby now, was from Kegan, she too now, grew up out here. But this could, in truth, be connected to the visions V-Tan and O-Vieve mentioned. They are now, and it's your side of the family now, though I think we walked into your wife."

"If you develop stronger feelings for her now." he said and she blushed and they heard a chuckle, knowing Shmi and Qui-Gon hear that. "Wait a second here, I heard vague stories on a Jedi duo that freed Telos, Kegan and Sorrus from corruption. The names Jinn and Kenobi, are you.." he started to say to him and he nodded. "We are and the stories are true baby, but looks like the forced came in handy, we find you." he said to him then gently.

"Come on though, you never had the chance to see this for real, because you had to deal with the security. So second chance here, and I want you to meet my friends." he said and he nodded gently. "Now Jar-Jar, I mean it, keep away from the energy binders, if your hand gets caught in the beam. It'll go numb for hours, Artoo, check the power level please, I need to make sure." Anakin added and he beeped gently to the orders then.
