Star Wars: Anakin Si c9

Anakin’s chrome J-type landed not far from the moisture farm. As the gangplank lowered down, he walked down.

His mother and some blonde guy greeted him. Behind them was a kid around a similar age as well; for now, the Chosen One ignored the kid.

“Anakin?”

“Yes, Mom.” the boy sighed before crossing his arms.

“Why did you sell my shop!?”

Now, she crossed her arms and replied.

“Because I have no idea how to run? I am not as good as you are.”

“Oh. Right…”

“Yes, and I thought you went with that Jedi Master.” She then asked about his situation as she looked at the fancy starship behind him.

“I wasn't planning to stay with them. The pay is garbage, and they don't get holidays.”

His mother deadpanned at him.

“And the starship?”

“Gift from my future wife.”

“...Anakin.. “ The woman sighed with an eye roll. Is he serious about that girl? Is the girl serious back at him? To the point that she gives fancy starships?

“What? I freed her world and got a massive freighter as a gift. I can now start ‘selling’ at a big scale.” The boy puffed his chest. Well, ‘selling’ is a broad term; he will sell ‘war’ and ‘conquest’ to the Galaxy.

She blinked at him. She wasn't expecting that.

“What about you, mom?” He asked her as he looked at the blonde man.

“This is Cliegg Lars; I have met him in an organisation called White Suns.”

For a second, Anakin was confused; what organisation?”

“Ani, I have been funding this organisation for years with the money you gave me.”

“...oh, so that's where you've been spending all that money.” The boy, for a second, thought his mother was living some luxurious life, but it turns out she is a Samaritan.

“Yes, I have been helping to free slaves on Tatooine while you have been making money with your shop.”

She clarified before the blond man proceeded to speak.

“Well met, Anakin; I have heard many things about you.”

“I hope it's good things?”

“Yes, no worries. Why don't you come inside? Let me introduce you to my son.”

With a sigh, the boy decided to get this over with. He needs to get this awkwardness over.

Anakin didn't stay for long. He has many things to do, like learning alchemy and starting to build his faction.

So, after dinner, he explained about the Tusken Raiders, which surprised them in a good way and then left.

It was time to explore the Galaxy! Hell yeah!

The Chosen One swiftly returned to his starship and went to the bridge.

“Set course for Auratera,” Anakin said to his navy droid.

“Calculating…”

“...Umm…Bossman. That planet is not habitable.” The B1 said as it was checking info on the star map.

“It's a lie. It's habitable. Now, set the course and power the Hyperdrive.”

“Roger, Roger.”

With a few presses of the buttons, the Lucrehulk proceeded to enter Hyperspace.

~~~

Salin Corridor is one of the oldest hyperspace routes in the Galaxy. While part of Outer Rim, this location was well visited and part of many conflicts over the centuries.

Not far from Korriban, Mandalore, and other systems closely related to Jedi and Sith of the old. At this moment, Auratera is a backwater planet with little to no connection to the wider Galaxy.

It is a perfect place for Anakin to train and build up some of the infrastructure for his starship.

By infrastructure, he needs to make tools and reconstruct how his droids operate.

He needs labour to rebuild Starforge, create a manufacturing forge and other things.

But first, he needs to learn an ancient art.

“This place truly is unique,” Anakin mumbled as he could sense the force in this Star system.

It has both sides; he quickly found the vergence point.

“Place the ship behind the moon; I will take my J-type.”

“Roger, Roger.”

Once he ordered the droids, the Chosen One went to his J-type and boarded it. Like before, he had a couple of Droidekas and B1s.

As the Chrome starship left the Lucrehulk, the boy could see the two stars in the system, unlike Tatooine, which had them close to each other. This Star system has two suns on the sides, which means there is always daytime in this world.

According to his visions, the ‘nighttime’ is just a dimmer day.

Such strange star alignment is maybe why the force vergence is a thing on the planet.

Well, who knows?

Regardless, the J-type landed not far from a stone temple while opposite to it; there are remnants of an Obelisk.

“...Ugh…gravity here is garbage.” Anakin instantly complained as he walked down the gangway. He was almost jumping up and down, or more like floating away.

This place will mess up his body if he stays here for long.

Well, thankfully, he plans to train and craft change between those two.

Now, he has a legitimate reason not to stay for long in this world.

As he walked forward, he dived into force, looking for the perfect place to meditate.

‘Remnant of the Jedi Temple it is then.’

Meditating close to Sith Obelisk will only make him angry; the only solution is the ruins of the Jedi temple.

As he walked closer, his hands stroked the stone boulders.

The boulders showed him ancient times. He could see the cycle of war and peace this Planet had to endure. This place was part of conflicts for nearly 4000 years.

The Solar system disappeared into the unknown after the Ruusan Reformation.

As Anakin walked to the balcony, he started to meditate. A slight smirk appeared on his face as he, without even knowing, ended up in a place where Alchemy rituals used to be done!

How hilarious is that!?

The Chosen One proceeded to consume greedily all the knowledge.

While flesh alchemy is not his thing, he was more interested in making the metal more force conductive.

Clothes and lightsaber parts from that would make him into a machine of war.

People were terrified of Revan when he was wearing clothes made by Starforge; imagine if he had clothes made from the purest form of Force Alchemy.

Well, he was already a beast without that. There is no need to inflate Revan’s myth more.

As the visions became clearer, Anakin saw how Force utilises alchemy. A mix of Force Flames and Force Lightning is used. The art is intricately linked with Sorcery employed by the Sith.

Lightning rapidly heats the substance, while flames mould the shape. This art reminded Anakin of when Sidious used sorcery to mess with Yoda from an enormous distance through the Galaxy.

It's simply astounding; this is close to that.

‘I wanted alchemy but ended up learning Sorcery alongside it.’

By the time Anakin opened his eyes, he could see that the surroundings were slightly darker; the sun in the sky was in a different location and smaller.

It appears it was ‘nighttime’.

“When you are ready, come to see me.” An old voice spoke to Anakin from below.

Hearing that made the boy jump on his feet and look down towards a cave.

He could see a nearly glowing old man dressed in green robes. He had long beard and glowing black and green eyes.

“...Father?”

By ‘father’, Anakin doesn't mean his ‘Father’ but the mythical existence of the Force! The ‘Balance’ of the force!

“Come with me if you want to learn, or do you prefer these primitive arts?” ‘Father’, he casually said as he turned around and entered the cave.

“Coming!” The Chosen One jumped over the handrails and landed on the ground before rushing into the cave and catching up to the Force being.

“Good, then follow me.”

~~~

“Why now?”

“Why? I wanted to see what kind of path you will take. Seeing the future is one thing, and seeing the present is another.

I wanted to see with my eyes which path you will take.”

The ‘Balance’ said while stroking his beard with one hand.

“I wanted to know if you would take the path to preserve or destroy. If you were one of those, I would have ignored you altogether until the time was right.

But surprisingly, you have chosen— creation.”

He said that while turning towards the Chosen One, who had identical eyes to him.

“...Creation? You mean I want to build an empire?”

‘Father’ scoffed before laughing.

“Don’t be ridiculous.”

Anakin frowned; it appeared he was eating his own medicine. Is talking cryptic one of the ‘Balancers’ thingy?

“A creator is one of US. You are walking on the path of a creator. You are planning to build on worlds never stepped on. You are planning to terraform your birth world; you are planning to do it the right way with the forge.

Do I need to tell you more?”

The boy shook his head.

“Good. You coming to this world was the sign I needed to visit you like this.”

“I thought you need to keep sister and brother in balance all the time?”

“I do. But you are not the only one who can project himself.” ‘Balance’ smirked at the boy.

“Fair enough.”

Eventually, they arrived at the round room ignited by green flames on the walls. The force here was at an absurd level.

“Now then— Why don't we start with Celestial Alchemy?”

“Celestial?” Anakin gulped down when this being mentioned ‘Celestial’.

“Indeed, the alchemy you have been trying to learn is a bastardised version of what WE have been using.”

The ‘Father’ lifted his hand and brushed it, creating a lightsaber with a hand wave and igniting it.

The blade was green, then blue, red, yellow, orange, white, purple and other strange colours.

Eventually, the being made the blade cease to exist like it came to be!

‘Holy… just how powerful is this guy!?’

“As you can see. You need to use ‘Balance’ at its apex. ‘Creation’ and ‘Destruction’ must be at the ‘Balance’. You must decide how you made it, how long it will exist, and its composition.

All of it has to be decided at the smallest of detail, at the smallest of levels.”

With another hand motion, the Force Being created a small cube with empty holes. It looked like Swiss cheese.

“Your first task is to fill the holes with the same material as this cube. I will return when you are done.”

As ‘Father’ said, the cube flew over to Anakin and landed in his hands; he then simply disappeared.

“...He left me after telling me to manipulate matter with force? That old man is on a realm of his own!”

The Chosen One was baffled, to say the least! Like— at least give a hint!

After complaining for a bit, Anakin dropped to the ground and sat cross-legged and started to meditate.

One thing he can trust is the force; he always trusted its power, and now it's no different.

Seconds later, the cube started to float and spin around, almost like a Holocron.

One could see that one of the holes started to fill up. The more it filled up, the more sweaty the Chosen One looked.

It was as if he was getting drained of strength by the second.

*Gasp*

With a gasp, the boy opened his eyes, and the cube dropped to the ground.

“Holy! What the hell!” His eyes trembled as he picked up the cube.

“A-All that just for a few drops of this strange stone?” Anakin looked at his hands. He can sense the drain on him. The amount of force he used was absurd.

He is pretty sure he could have caused a massive storm on something like Tatooine with no problems but to create matter to fit this stone. It barely has a few scraps added to it.

“I am sure this is just my shitty control over the force.”

The kid was sure this was because this was something new he needed to learn, thus, a bad energy consumption ratio.

For now, he returned to basic meditation to recover. Once he is done with that, he will return to this new assignment.

And just like that, Anakin would train for several weeks without even realising the time flow or that he didn't need to eat or consume water.

Because of how strong the force is in this place, it will keep him alive.
