Chapter 3: Truths And Rewrites Of Past Missions

"Nice way to rephrase that: we can tell you apart now, but black dressed you is confident to the point of arrogance here, egotistical and entirely too hot headed. Let alone here reckless to the point of beyond suicidal, you always been more like dad and Master Qui-Gon." Darra said and he smiled at her and she grinned at that. "The perfect twin brother to you as well, you know that, remember after you got shot, I never left your side, during temple rest." he said to her then.

"Aside from training, but yeah I remember that alright, now normally, with us young teenagers, dad would never choose to do that with us laid up. But after Radnor, they're not letting whoever it is between us behind the drivers seat of that blasted thing again. After it destroyed the wall, after underlining your brother's remark." she said smiling and the two adults exchanged bemused looks, as the Jedi master said it for both of them, knowing this was why Obi-wan at the time then.

Was so thoroughly exasperated here now. "May I ask what made the four of us, your parents, decide on temple rest?" Qui-Gon asked and they exchanged looks, as Dorme tried to keep from smiling. "You did it again didn't you, something you knew the parent mentor would never allow and drove whatever it was through the wall?" Typho said and Lana closed her eyes as she tried to keep from laughing. "Obi-wan's remark was the punchline." Darra said to him then gently.

"Young man you can tell me later, but take it easy, before you scare us into a heart attack next, whatever Master said, he's right, you and your brother, you aged me this much. That keep it up, and I'm not making it to 70 at this rate, you have got to stop doing this to me." Qui-Gon said, bemused, and Anakin nodded gently to him. "Well you never knew this, but he was flying the fighter, and took out the droid control ship's reactor." Padme said and he nodded gently then.

"Honey, I decided to stick with the nickname, my twin his name is Andy, short for Andrus." he said and she nodded, smiling at the news. "Full name of Andrus Darian Vandel Skywalker, take the middle initials, what do you get if he crashes exactly." he asked and Yaddle nodded sternly. "Sith name it becomes now, and agree with you, we do, always been our golden child, you have. That you 4, Dane and Ferus, star squadron of our's, you are." She said gently and he nodded gently.

"My son and his sister, I went with the names of light and courage, so they, and their age group, are your star pupils, but you knew she and I are impulsive, at times reckless at the controls. But we attract trouble and our family as the strongest in the order, next to the Durrons. Is Darian's son, he becomes my youngest son's best friend, but frankly I'm praying Kun is not still there. And just where the mustafar is Ikrit exactly." he said and she and Qui-Gon nodded in agreement.

"Gets better it does, Vergere missing in action still she is, Qui-Gon." She said and he nodded, sternly, at the news. "Ikrit, if we find him after we take up residence on Yavin, this means he was protecting the Massassai people that used to live there right now. To explain that, he's another one of the masters we had and if he's partnered himself with your grandson and his training clan. It's your family are magnets for Sith and Dark Jedi, Annie." he said and she and Anakin nodded.

"I missed you Master Qui-Gon, it's good to see you again." Padme said, smiling and he smiled in gentle affection at her. "And I you M'lady, it's great to see you again, so Annie, I assume you decoded what the Keganites told me and Adi?" he said and he nodded. "It's focused on us actually, my family, the army of white armored soldiers, a black armored man. Carrying a red lightsaber, a cloaked man with a disfigured face, the Sith Empire, but the brother/sister duo."

"Leading a group of freedom fighters, are my young twins and their friends, so the Sith/Rebel wars now, and the moon sized super weapon, was a trade federation. Possibly CIS super weapon only the Master is intending to use it for strong arming the galaxy into submission." he said and Qui-Gon nodded. "The Confederacy of Independent Systems, they're the ones that left, they're possibly involved with Dooku, and if I'm right, our Sithmaster." she said and he nodded sternly.

"The phantom menace, whose padawan knocked you into a coma, started up again, and he recruited your mentor to his cause, but 3 of the same pieces of the puzzle came back. And recruited 3 more and one them is a bounty hundred dressed in bluish silver armor. Shot and killed the assassin last night, so the council reassigned us once again to protection duty now. And in order to get me to brush it, targeted mom now." he said and Qui-Gong nodded sternly to that.

"They also took back the acceleration trials, so we're senior padawan, 6 to 7 years left here, Master Jinn, my parental is Tiana Merrin, her partner pair up is Damon Calrissian." Tru said and Qui-Gon nodded. "Well that explains why you three are so close, to fix the problem during your brother when he was 13, Mace went to the idea of quadrupling the teams. As you had someone your own age to talk to now, as we discussed our next move." he said and the trio nodded then.

"Lana's been added to the team too right now, so the girls are coming, and with me, Andy stays with you and Obi-wan, that…., or better. Guys, the three of us going together, one of us protects Padme, the others deal the Raiders." he said and the trio nodded smiling. "Agreed and that's a very wise idea right now, our quartet is on protection duty here. As we hunt down who has it out for her, though if it's Gunray, heads are going to roll." Qui-Gon said and he smiled sternly then.

"This explains why the meeting between you was taking this long, and why he tried to kill you, he's involved with our Sithmaster, he's infiltrated the senate." he said and Qui-Gon nodded sternly then. "Any idea who he is?" he asked and Anakin shook his head. "No, but I got a hunch, after the Chancellor said they would be watching my career with great interest. So that means he's either involved with him, or he is him." he said and Qui-Gon nodded sternly to the news.

"Looks like he never stopped since, still involved with our Sithmaster, you think the Zabrak is still alive here?" he asked and Anakin nodded gently. "We know the Sith have some very unusual powers, but beyond that, I don't know, the Zabrak's a wild animal, too far gone. We could never change him back, he must have done him, at my age when you found me father." he said and they nodded sternly. "He looks no older then your brother." Dorme said and he nodded gently.

"Annie what's happening to you, you never sounded like this before?" she asked and he nodded in affection to her gently. "I know, but 10 years training, I was weeks prior to my 10th birthday, when we met now. That I had quite the education in force training, I understand this, better then you, my twin is brave. And to the point of arrogance and entirely way too impulsive and hot headed, Father's return was everything I needed here, he, Obi-wan and Master are me now."

"Jedi, my mentors, my twin, after the Zabrak jumped into the vision, during our gathering, the Sith version, are his version of the trio. My version, I'm not interested in power, I want knowledge to him: power, in Sith form, they are the Zabrak The Sithmaster trying to make me his new apprentice, the Master's own mentor, who dropped in the week before you did." he said and they nodded. "Hence why, once he comes back, you change back." Padme said to him gently then.

"Though he loves us, he wants power, that it Annie?" Qui-Gon asked and he nodded. "Yeah, but I belong to you, I want knowledge, not power, you're my father, my mentor now, in truth. I wanted you back and now the force grants my wish, I stay me, and he's going down." he said and Qui-Gon nodded, as he stroked his hand through his hair gently, before pulling him into a hug. And he tightened his arms, and Padme smiled in affection, knowing this was exactly what she needed.

"Alright baby, just why are you this exhausted exactly right now?" he asked and Anakin sighed. "I've been having premonitions the past week focused on mom, she's badly hurt, but this could mean mom was taken by some nomadic race and is being tortured." he said and Qui-Gon nodded to the news. "After you rescue Shmi, you're on sabbatical till your brother contacts you, with you this exhausted, you shouldn't be driving." he said and Anakin nodded gently then to the orders.

"Too late, in trying to pull the speeder over, while arresting the assassin last night, he crashed it, while losing his lightsaber, again." Tru said and he nodded. "Too bad we don't have a real way to divide you in two, but calling your alter ego by name. And taking the back up with us, we know who's who here." Lana said, arriving then and he nodded. "Hey baby." Qui-Gon said smiling at her and she smiled. "Father, I missed you." she said and he smiled in affection gently then.

"Ferus is my version of Obi-wan, I'm his version of Siri and the ending results, are what you remember in the duo when they were younglings." she said and he chuckled and nodded. "So a case of double trouble, when partnered with your little brother here now, are we?" he said to her and she nodded smiling and Typho started laughing. "Well you know I brought my training equipment with me, and with it right now, Father's research on force healing here now."

"So you can tell the difference between us, my stuff's in those suitcases." he said, pointing at the wall, and Qui-Gon turned and saw a pile of three suitcases, standing next to her's then. "So that's lightsaber training and force healing, that helps, when not alone with her now. You're in training to wear yourself out, so you can sleep through the night after you do this. Alright, but again, keep the radio off till your brother and sister contact you." he said and Anakin nodded, smiling gently.

"We made a fast change and you brought back the twin suffering a BPD here, I'm the one that was meant to bring balance, but Andy, he's close to the edge here." he said and Qui-Gon nodded. "So that's our entire team, we're just missing Ferus Olin, we need to recall him, but otherwise we got everyone, and instead of dead, she got knocked into a coma. But did our Sithmaster ever consider, the force can bring us back to life." he said and they nodded then sternly at the news.

"Evidently not, we must be like that version, we can come back if we want, and return to duty now." Anakin said and Yoda's counterpart smiled in agreement then. "The teams been jacked and one attempt at training the opposite gender results in Darra being knocked. And into a coma, and the other leaving out of graduation jitters, and guilt here right now. Yes alright I understand, but be more careful here boys, baby, if this is why Andy is still in trouble." he said and they nodded.

"But Mace better bring you up to date, because there's alot to tell you, after 10 years together, we been friends for 7 years. Although Master here was killed, before Zan Arbor made a return appearance." he said and they nodded. "Let me take a guess, let out on good behavior, but you realized she started a new version of her force experiments now?" he asked and they all nodded. "Exactly, Master, and he finally said what he was feeling after 7 years holding it in now here."

"But he reached the limit of his being treated differently and unloaded it to Obi-wan, Siri and Garen." She said and he and Padme nodded, and in understanding. "Indeed, and got up to your 17th boys, Darra, I had now, that indeed more careful, you should be now. But like Yoda, never more proud of you, then now I am, Annie, you three, understand." Master Yaddle said and the trio nodded. "This is going to be a long month." Qui-Gon said and Typho hid a chuckle then gently.

"After yesterday's assassination attempts, I get why, uh..." Tru said to her gently. "You can call me by name, Tru." she said and he nodded smiling. "Fair enough." he said to her, smiling at that. "This Ferus we keep talking about is our fourth, Ferus Olin, he's a 22 year old version of big brother, but our team quartet are us three and Siri, that's Ferus's big sister, she's Obi-wan's age, only Ferus's version of Siri is Lana Chion." Anakin said and they chuckled and nodded, smiling.

"Tru's mentor is Ry' Gaul, but Obi-wan is two personas in one here now, and I love the guys, like brothers, but himself, Ry' and Garen Muln, his student is another friend of mine. Dane Van Perril, his mother mentor is Father's best friend, Clee Rhara." he said and she nodded. "I need to talk to these guys now, but we're a quintet, rather then a quartet, the girls, Damon and me. So there we go, but issues in the rescue missions now." Qui-Gon said and Dorme started laughing at that.

"And there's the exchange, you call that a diplomatic solution?" Anakin said to Padme and she smiled. "No I call it aggressive negotiations." she said and Qui-Gon shook his head smiling then. "Alright you two, we get it, but there's where you had your brother concerned, try to stay out of reckless situations here." he said and they both nodded smiling. "If I thought trying to get to the throne room was dangerous, it's ending up in a now." she said and he nodded, smiling.

"Well at least this time, I'm fully ready to defend myself if necessary, but the 10 year old boy you remember, Father, here I am, just as my 20 year old self now." he said and Qui-Gon nodded, smiling, in paternal affection gently as the trio exchanged smiles. "I was getting worried here and till you returned Master, only now that you're back, my brother is back to being himself. And our team is intact now, we just get Ferus and we're a quartet again." Tru said to him gently at that.

"And you know I'm back to being me again Tru, I got the two pieces of my life, I needed to change back fully, along with Master Yaddle now. He's never getting to me, turn or die, I'll never turn to the darkside, you failed my lord, I am a Jedi. Like my father, before me, I, the Chosen One, are back once again, and you will be destroyed." he said and Tru nodded smiling, as he, Darra and Lana hugged him tightly and he tightened his arms around them, as they hung on.

"What you want a bet we keep this up and she sends the quintet here next, as they learn what Obi-wan told him was the truth now?" Darra asked and he shook his head. "No bet, at the rate this is going the me they always wanted to know, has appeared in their present. With only one prosthetic limb, the rest of me is fully human, their mother is alive, along with the order. And not only is the order alive, the sextet's age group are 83 years old." he said and they all nodded.

"Granted another exception, that's fine, but we're your family, brother." Tru said smiling and he nodded. "Get the clan, tell them if there's an arrest, we're not losing the entire team, there's us, Ferus, Lana, Tahiri, Cammie, Corran, Wedon, Sari, Wes and Darra, but we lost one. We're not losing the entire clan, after Brazen's got Andy's anger turned on him." he said and Tru nodded in agreement. "Padme, we considered you could be right." he said and she nodded gently then.

"So find said hunter, we find him?" she said and he nodded. "They know now, how we feel each about other, they're fine with it, in fact they granted another exception." Anakin said and she smiled in relief and delight as Tru smiled. "So if we take that jump, then it's not illegal, right now we're very, very dear friends, and we get engaged. And everyone on both sides know, we're our other half, but together, we create the resistance now." she said and he nodded smiling to her.

"Though the debate is not over, your mother matters more to me here, I love her and your friends, if she's married, we meet your stepfamily. So I'm coming with you, you're not violating your mandate, and we make it, we make just in time. My chosen spot, in our hiding place is carrying my family transport, so we catch 2 refugees transports. And then, if necessary, take my family's and see what's going on, if he calls us right now." she said and he nodded then gently.

"Well the reason I came up, was to bring you to the temple, Anakin, Lana went to get her fellow loyalist members, the committee's been ordered there on an emergency meeting. We're creating this resistance your twins are members of now." he said and they both nodded, as they left as Typho, Dorme and two of her guards came with them. As they reassembled at the temple, as they walked in holding hands then smiling and Mace nodded, smiling gently and Yoda chuckled then.

"Master, the force reversed time to the last 10 years, right now, so look who's back now." Anakin said and the trio stepped forward and they smiled in delight. "Qui!" his entire class shouted in delight and they surrounded their version, as his clan surrounded Darra smiling then. "Darra, gods have we missed you." Tahiri Kaneberrie said, smiling then. "Anakin just brought me up to date, on your orders here, Mace, so I just furthered that." Qui-Gon said and he smiled in relief then gently.

"He's ready for this now finally, but Andy, not so much, after he failed to tell us right now, the lightsaber was broken, and Darra was knocked into a coma. Getting you back, was exactly what he needed right now, and I just remembered this, but Dave and Leia. They're in range of her new settlement, if she moved spaceports right now." Adi said and he nodded in relief. "The only way there could be a problem of capture, is if she's living in the country." he said and they nodded.

"Well that narrows it down now, it could be Bestine Township, Anchorhead, Mos Eisley, all beyond the Dune Sea." Anakin said and she nodded. "We're taking the first flight to Anchorhead then." Padme said and he nodded in agreement. "Why waste time going to Watto, and go right for the throat." he said and Mace nodded. "Agreed right now, you go to Bestine Township, see what you can find out, if your theory is correct, we arrive in time to help." Qui-Gon said to him gently.

"We're leaving our stuff at her settlement, and then take the next flight to Naboo now, hold on." he said and activated the galactic broadcast then. "Bestine Township status control, this is Anakin Skywalker, repeat this is Padawan Anakin Skywalker, you read me over. I need to know, have there been any kidnappings by the Raiders, because my team is on their way there. Be there in two days, as we go in together now?" he said and they saw a man his age appear then.

"Anakin, yeah we read you loud and clear, but if this is about your mother, you guessed right, it was today here, she was going to get mushrooms. And off the North Ridge, and they grabbed her, we were preparing to go in, before called us!" he said and they nodded to the news sternly. "With a non force sensitive that can kill you here friend, so you need Jedi for this, they're scared of us, once they see our lightsabers in action, so let us handle this now."

"But we're on our way, and you are now?" he asked and he smiled in relief. "My name is Owen Lars Anakin, I'm your stepbrother!" he said and they nodded. "Let me take a guess here, but your father freed her and then married her, married sum years after the games now?" he asked and heard a smiled in the tone. "Yeah Anakin, our parents got married 5 years ago, after he freed her, and we're living in Bestine Township." he said and Padme smiled in relief.

"Alright tell dad I'm coming right now, but I'm on protection duty with my fiancé and the same detail that mom mentioned to you, along with the quintet. If they told you about that already, then my Jedi team and I need a hand here right now." he said and he and his father nodded. "Got it, we're waiting for you son, see you soon." Cliegg Lars said gently then and they sighed in relief. "Dad, yeah we'll be there in 2 days, just give me two days." he said and he nodded sternly.

"Got it son, see you in two days." he said and they nodded, as they ended the radio transmission. "There we go, it happened alright, Bail could I borrow your ship." he said and he nodded then. "I take it this happens all the time on Tatooine?" Mace asked and he nodded then. "Pain threshold test here, we'll make it in time right now, but you better bring him up to date, of the last 8 years, since Vergere, you're my counselor, including another run in with Zan Arbor."

"And directly after Master Yaddle was killed, he needs to know that." he said and Mace nodded in understanding. "No kidding, we're, Lana and I, are delaying to leave till you report in, and then ship out, as you call us from Tatooine now." Obi-wan said and he nodded. "We'll be fine Brother, you just be careful and see what you can find out, she and I will be fine now. We're not crossing that line, and we're too young for children here." he said and he nodded as Siri hid a chuckle.

"Thracia and Mace, and there's a trauma you never got over, he pushed the wrong buttons, and turned the electric judgement on himself, not your fault." Ki Adi Mundi said and he nodded. "Yeah that and my first use of my original lightsaber, I ended up in the same situation, Father had, rather then being taken alive, he pushed me into killing him." he said and they nodded. "We understand, but he was too dangerous to try it." he said and Mace nodded in agreement then.

"If this means saving your family then yeah, there's our first good deed here and finish the job, in our pay it forward, they helped us free Naboo from the Blockade. But there we go, you helped us expose that our Sith infiltrated the senate, we help you save your family. And finish the job, but the payment, is the same as before, but you're 3x's better now, then when as a child. So the fare to Naboo, is the prize money, split 3 ways now." She said and the quartet nodded, smiling then.

"And we pay it forward, by freeing the entire network now finally." Bail said and he nodded gently. "We need someone to take the ship back, so Darra, Tru that's you, you return after you guys go save her, you protect the senator, Anakin saves Shmi. And you report in for him and he takes a refugee carrier the rest of the way to Naboo." Mace said to that smiling then and she, Tru and Anakin nodded. "Yes Master." They said and Yoda smiled in relief, they prevented it now finally.

"I need to run a status check here later, if Jabba ever needs me, he can call me through you guys, if there's a war about to get started right now." he said and Mace and Qui-Gon nodded, smiling then. "Good call padawan and you are certainly right, have them on our side, we insure here we're on hand if they need us, if Sidious is trying to turn us into the bad guys. As for your relationship, Anakin, m'lady." Mace said and Yoda finished it gently as he looked up at her.

"Like he would later tell Light, he was killing his competition when us around still meant something, though if said competition is his own family. You're seeing an android bounty hunter being dragged out of the throne room, when you're walking in there." he said and Darra, Tru and Lana started laughing then and nodded. "The team was 6, two girls, 4 boys here." she said and they nodded. "Blast it, alright here, I'll finish her training." Obi-wan said to his counterpart then.

And she nodded, as they exchanged looks. "With this case of level of trouble, it's back to when we were making repeated pit stops. But only in reverse here now, from the capitol, to Tatooine to Naboo, last round was Tatooine, Coruscant, Naboo. And now it's reversed right now, in the first two, only the queen became a galactic senator. And we're still us, just 10 years older and wiser, to see this is a set up, it's him alright." Anakin said smiling then and the trio nodded in agreement.

"Like I said, now is not the time for this, the debate is still ongoing, and Senator Amidala is returning home, which will put pressure on the opposition, and could widen the confrontation." Mace said and his counterpart nodded. "And draw out the queen's attacker." he said and Mace completed the remark. "Go with the Senator back to Naboo, this is the clue we need to unravel the mysterious disappearance of Sifo Dyas." Mace said and the trio nodded gently then to him.

"Well there we go, we're on for another round, and time reversed itself, you're a young master, having to train me on your own, till you get the elder. And more experienced one back brother, and I'm a young padawan with 7 years left here." he said and his mentor nodded in agreement. "Indeed, we best start doing that, till a certain age, and then once they had enough experience, and let them finish out the 14 years." Mace said with a smile of affection gently then to that.

"Don't remind me, we just reversed time 10 years and now, it's we're dealing with two, of the same pieces of the puzzle. But we just added two new ones, if we had a bounty hunter kill the assassin." Obi-wan said as he and Qui-Gon exchanged irritated looks at the memory of this then gently at that remark. "I'll be fine Obi-wan, no worries, but if you're thinking that, we're not crossing that line, not in an emergency and not when we're not ready." he said and he nodded.

"And Annie's 10 trapped in his 20 year old body here now as a result." Padme said and they, Yoda and Mace nodded in agreement to her opinion at that remark. "We need to get Ferus here, now, so rounding us all up, but find our bounty hunter, we find Dooku now. But Tru, after you guys get back, go get Ferus, and bring Darra with you, and as he sees the blast. It only knocked her into a coma, she's fine, as are Master Yaddle and I." Qui-Gon said and they nodded, smiling.

"Andy stays here, Lana goes with Obi-wan and Annie is with me, on protection duty." Siri said and Qui-Gon nodded. "Issues is where he's spending too much time around the chancellor here, Annie was sticking to his Jedi roots and flourished here." Mace said and he nodded. "First test, but as you would say here now, my past foreshadows my future, I'm going to scare them. But don't push me, just let her go." he said and they nodded and Yoda nodded in approval then.

"Indeed, old sins cast long shadows, remember that you should Annie, first mission alone after rescuing Shmi." he said and Anakin nodded smiling. "I understand now, fear to lose something leads to desperation to prevent it, desperation leads to irritation at not finding it. Irritation that leads to anger at whatever delayed it long enough to kill the target of that fear. Anger then leads to hate, at the cause, and hate, if not checked at the front door, can lead to it now finally."

"The it, a trauma of something you can never take back say, if we waited too long to check, my pain being a total slaughter of the village that kidnapped her." he said and Yoda nodded in approval and pride. "There see you do now, exactly what meant I did, ready for this assignment alone you are now, Padawan." he said and Anakin nodded in affection. "I love you, Master." he said and Yoda smiled. "And I you, padawan mine." he said and she smiled in affection then.

"Already made my declaration, he's never turning me to the darkside, you're my mentor, I'm not leaving you guys, he lost this game, before it ever resulted in a massacre next." he said and Yoda nodded, smiling in relief. "Understand I do, Qui-Gon awake and returning to duty, just what you needed it was now, you're my student. My pride and joy, you are, but his over confidence in victory, weakness it was, as is his faith in your twin." he said and Anakin nodded gently then.

"Always knew we did, how feel about each other you do, we and Obi-wan did, and didn't mind this we do, M'lady, in a previous future. But if made him happy you did, then allow this, we would." Yoda said gently and she nodded smiling. "I appreciate this Master, but Sola's right, I give and give, just once I should be allowed to take, we should be allowed to take. And we do, when we come back into each other's lives." she said and he and Mace nodded gently, smiling then.

"We're the best of friends, and if we take that jump this trip, and you're the first to know, both sides, we promise." Anakin said smiling and the council and the quartet all nodded. "Best tell her parents and her successor, it's been years that Dack and Sio are seeing you again finally." Qui-Gon said and he nodded smiling gently and Mace chuckled then. "But I think your idea worked a little too well last night, by him changing clothes here though Siri, that I forgot now here."

"He was standing there in the corner, till Obi-wan barged in, and he killed the kouhuns." she said and she nodded. "I know, his black uniform blended into the shadows, just like they blended into the blankets." she said and she and Anakin nodded. "Been a padawan switch there has, so Anakin: protect you, he will, Andy: go with Obi-wan he will, to find your attacker. But translated the entire prophecy Anakin has for us, meant to be you are, your family, chosen one it is now."

"Chosen to stop the Sith and bring balance to the force." he said and she nodded then. "And that's where we come in, if you brought us, giving us 23 years, to plan this out. And relocate, amass our forces, and prepare for a 6 year struggle, if they create a super weapon?" Bail asked and he nodded. "Once the twins are young adults no older then me, yes." Anakin said and he nodded sternly. "We're a peaceful planet, no weapons." he said and he nodded gently then.

"I know Bail, I know, so my recommendation, is if he tries to use you, to force my baby girl to talk, I suggest relocation to a new planet, and your entire planet is safe right now. Alright he just ticked off the entire galaxy, as more and more star systems joined the alliance. But you're my wife's best friend, if we take that jump here, Senators." he said and they nodded sternly then gently. "Nice thinking here." he said gently as they heard a beep, and he turned smiling gently.

"Yeah Artoo, we're going to visit Mistress Shmi and today." he said and he beeped happily then. "Yeah little me in my adult body, still me, just grown 3.5 feet taller." he said and he beeped with a smile in the tone. "He's a family droid now, but Threepio's real role is actually the personal assistant to the diplomats here, so him to you honey, Artoo to me. And they repeat the process with the twins, once they're young adults themselves." he said and she chuckled then.

As he beeped. "Artoo, I get it, you guys are trying to keep young master and mistress warm, but cranking the temperature that high, is going to wash out the bedroom. So stop playing with the heater controls, before you flood the base please." he said and the base commander started laughing at that, as he beeped innocently at his request. "As if the arguments between him, and Threepio is not enough right now, followed by your daughter and Damon's grandson now."

"His best friend, but then we add this to it, but we hear this enough between you, you and Padme already, after 23 years of this. That we don't need to hear it from your daughter and son in law, so that's enough of that already you two, break it up." Major Carlist Reeikan said and Mon and Dodonna nodded with a chuckle, as the trio were shaking in laughter. "Issues in the adopted family, you knew the twins all their lives, Carl." he said and Reeikan nodded, smiling then.

"You, both sides knew, we're common knowledge, so it's been made public, the Jedi changed the code, we can fall in love and get married. One and 2) our Sith is closer then you expect, he's standing right in front of us here." he said and Bail crossed his arms. "Who is he exactly." he asked and Padme said it with a growl. "Just last week, he turned down a petition, to ban all slavery to the Outer and Mid Rims, Bail." he said and they nodded in shock, as Mon said it then.

"The Chancellor, he's our Sithlord." she said in shock and Qui-Gon nodded. "Not just any, but the mentor the Zabrak that put me into a coma, he's Anakin's twin's version of me. The Zabrak, my padawan, and their mentor is Master Yoda, but now I have to teach Anakin. In the hard part, said is not good or evil, but somewhere in between, he's a living incarnation. Of the force, and this prophecy can go two ways we chose to pretend he had a twin." he said and she nodded then.

"And my trial by flesh just activated here, I did my trial by self, when dealing with Krayne, my next trial just activated, and I passed honesty, and by us telling them the truth. But what you heard here now, Padme, was really an extension to this." Anakin said and played back his exchange with Tru and Ferus then. "So this is a rewrite to what we remember, Darra was knocked into a coma, and you're recovering from that head injury?" Siri said and he nodded to her then.

"Just be more careful, before you scare us into a coronary, as if the blast into the wall, is not enough, I had to cover you, so you don't get struck twice, when the bomb went." Soara said to him and he nodded. "We did pretty good so far, it wasn't till this happened we started getting antsy for early graduation, till we realized. We weren't ready to graduate, we want more time together, Master Qui-Gon, Mother." Tru said and Tiana and Qui-Gone nodded in understanding.

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.

"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. "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 Anakin dropped the bomb, for me and you ran that test, Master Windu, but that test was for Andy, not for us, Andy was the traitor, he always right now. That we 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, before meeting you at Polis Massa." Tru said and the council nodded gently at the reveal. "My best friend." Anakin said and he nodded then.

"Guys, guys listen to me, remember what we were taught, remember acceleration, what's that code for, in the darkside. Tru focus already, listen to me, you're saying your alter ego's thoughts, that never mind safety procedures. If the weapon goes in the middle the fire fight so be it, I want to graduate early. And get away from Tiana, Adi, Siri and Ry'!" he asked and they paled, as they exchanged looks at that remark quickly 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." he said and they closed their eyes, before opening their eyes and he sighed in relief then. "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 then. "Not yet, it needs more work, but with my building 20 of these, if Andy fixed the flux aperture, why did he never remind you to compensate for the power boost now.

"Now to make sure the repairs will hold up, because he's in trouble." he said and Ferus crossed his arms. "Yeah there it is, the blast did blow your power circuit, you fixed that, and that get you got it 75% it just needs a few tweaks. And here and there, but once I finish and you're good to go, status check, turn it on. The blow could have created a flaw in in." he said and Tru nodded and turned it on and heard a droning hum from it then.

As he double checked it then as he heard it carefully. "You check the crystals, that noise says the crystals are cracked without a focusing crystal it could explode or short out?" he asked and they exchanged looks. "No we never dismantled it completely to check, but that could be why it's losing power!" Tru said and he nodded and put in 3 new crystals, as he turned it back on it then, and they heard a gentle humming, saying it liked the new crystals.

"I think it likes the updated color, if it's humming, because your's are blue bordering purple, Annie." Ferus said with a slight smile to that. "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 and Anakin 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. "Andy did the power boost, after fixing the aperture, but I think the blast disrupted it. That's the connection between your power cell and the flux aperture. The blast also put enough strain on the crystals they cracked, and needed to be replaced now. I just took care of that and you fixed the wiring, all we got to do is further recharge and adjustment."

"As the blast also damaged the old crystals, I need to switch them out and fix the flux aperture, but otherwise you're good, till I fix it." he said and they nodded, as he finished the repair work and snapped it back together. "Alright you're good, but take it easy on it, till we finish it, as the more in battle and the faster it drains." he said and Tru nodded as he put it on his belt. "Alright tell the trio, what you told me." Ferus said and he nodded.

"Okay, okay, I can tell them and we go from there, but you still have to tell the quartet it could break down." 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.

"Andy was the one in trouble for holding this back, me we turned it in, and the three of us got off lucky here, though the head injury, I been sidelined for 3 months." he said and Padme nodded sternly. "And do that again, you are in big trouble brother, you scared me one too many times." Soara said gently and he nodded, as Tru tried to keep from laughing at that. "Keep it going, I want to know what happen before I woke up, son." Qui-Gon said and he nodded and reactivated.

"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. "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?" Ry' asked him and he explained that to him. "The blast fused the circuits, and damaged the crystals, disrupting the connection between the power cell and flux aperture. After replacing the crystals, I took care of the slight boost in the recharge and compensated. And for a second time for the flux aperture, but it's got enough power for one last fight, Ry'."

"Obi-wan, and before we have to do surgery on it next after we get my analysis confirmed by Tolan." he said and he nodded. "But Obi-wan, Andy fixed the flux aperture, before we left, and they finished the recharge. And before I told Tru to adjust the flux aperture, to compensate." he said and the trio exchanged looks. "Odd, why didn't Andy tell him, if he nearly walked in on them to do that?" Soara asked and he nodded gently.

"I'm not entirely sure, but I'm going to find out, if she still goes in battle, and I got to risk that headache getting worse." he said and she nodded. "It starts getting worse I want to know right away, padawan." she said and he nodded. "Darra, let me look at your arm." he said and she exposed her lower arm and he nodded as he did a field dressing and wrapped it. "That gets worse, tell me." he said and she nodded as she hugged him tightly.

"Leader of the team in padawans, overly protective." she said smiling and he smiled and the trio chuckled at that "You're my entire world Darra, what do you expect, one girl out of the four of us, to the guys and me, you're our entire world. Our job to protect you here, but I came up with a foolproof way to head off a more then fatal injury. Omega never gained his father's force abilities, if he carries a blaster, so a fast switch on it."

"In settings and put on high should do it, though if that nailed an artery, and Winna is taking care of your injuries for a couple years, before bringing you out of it. If you're the one that got hit." he said and she nodded as she hugged him. "Well to say this now, you don't have to turn on us to save me and whoever it is. As for all we know your father had the power already, don't change, as the only way I could die is heartbreak."

"Stay yourself Annie, don't change." she said and he nodded as she pressed her forehead to his. "Thank you for the warning though, Annie, we needed to know that." 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. "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.
