Star Wars: Anakin Si c4

Anakin followed Sabe to the biggest room in the starship. Once inside, he saw that the Queen was dressed in red robes and with an absurd amount of makeup. It was more like face paint than make-up.

“How long does it take for you to put that on?” The Chosen One asked with an amused look.

“Don’t ask. When I declared my candidacy, I wasn't aware of how much make-up I would need to put on my face.” Padme mumbled that in quick succession, her handmaidens were amused, not that they showed that on their faces; Anakin could sense amusement from them.

“Regardless, this time, you are my guest, so I wanted to ask if you need anything.” She asked with a small smile.

Her handmaidens were slightly surprised, surprised that she revealed that it was her who was outside on Tatooine.

It was supposed to be ‘Padme’ handmaiden and not ‘Padme’ the Queen.

“Apart from the fact that it's colder than I am used to, it's fine.”

“Well, it can't be helped; the temperature is standard for Naboo.”

“Hmm, I see… oh, well.” He shrugged at that. It appears Desert has grown on him, as weird as it sounds.

“In that case, your Highness, do you expect the Republic to help you with your issue?” He asked the burning question. He does not want her to lose that faith in the system.

“It's my people's only hope; the Republic HAS to help us.”

“You do know, as someone from a democratic world like yourself, you realise the paperwork which comes with it? The republic is the size of a Galaxy, and the bureaucracy which comes with it is absurd.”

“...”

“They will help you, but the amount of hops you will take… I don't think your people can survive that long.” He said with a sigh.

“You have a better chance if Jedi dispatch a strike force or something.”

“... That's a possibility.” She was pleasantly surprised; this was not a bad idea.

“Yes, regardless, we can speak later once you switch again.” He teased the Queen before walking out.

Once the kid with scary eyes was gone, the girls started to speak with Padme.

“Who is that kid?”

“Anakin Skywalker. According to the Jedi Master, he is very powerful with the Force. So powerful that the Jedi Master is willing to break the rules and try bringing him into the Jedi Order.”

“...Sounds Impressive.”

“It is; the Jedi Master was shaken by what he saw. That says something.”

The handmaidens nodded at the queen’s words. From what they see, the Jedi always look tranquil. They haven't seen a shaken one. Well, that's something.

~~~

“Anakin, meet Obi-Wan Kenobi; he is my Padawan.” Qui-Gon Jinn introduced the teen to Anakin.

“Well, meet. It appears you are close to becoming a Knight.”

“...”

“...”

“I am thinking of letting him take the test to become Jedi Knight.” The Jedi Master agreed but then asked, how does the kid know?

“How do you know?”

“Connection to force,” Anakin replied with quite a flat voice before continuing. “ The key is to let it flow; don't push it,” The boy motioned with his hand as the lightsaber rose from his waist. It quickly disassembled, spinning around leisurely before coming back together.

“Simple actions like this are straightforward. Just let it go with the intention you want. We people don't always allow ourselves to lose control over something. That is particularly evident among the Jedi, I noticed.”

“That's because we are weary of the Dark Side.” Obi-Wan pointed out.

“What you speak of is fear. And fear leads to the Dark Side.”

“...”

“...”

“He is right, Obi-Wan; I will return to my meditations.” Qui Gon Jinn realised that he needed to ponder on something. As amusing as it was, Obi-Wan slowly nodded, and he needed to think about something as well.

“I will join you, Master.”

“Anakin, until then, you can also do your things.” The Jedi Master commented as he went to one of the spare rooms.

“Hnn, fair enough.”

‘I should tell them less. This is becoming boring. But then again, my norm is mind-boggling to them.’

With a sigh, the young Chosen One went to his room and returned to his meditation. His mind went to Coruscant, where Palpatine was waiting for them.

Not only that, but Darth Plagueis was in the world as well. The pair are on an edge. As it appears, Darth Maul has already been notified of what happened.

‘I should sick Jedi on them. And use that opportunity to run away. No, wait, once I sick them on Sith, I return to this ship; this ship will take me to Naboo; once there, I can get on the Lucrehulk ship and take it over. There are over 300000 thousand battle droids there.

With how cheap their programming is, I can easily rework it.’

After thinking for a bit, there are a bunch of things which can go wrong. But then again, Anakin can easily steal a ship and run away.

Or just let the force guide him. That's always the case; that's how he killed the Krayt dragon.

“Oh right…”

He pulled out a light green pearl.

“...now this is interesting…” The boy brought the white Kyber crystal close to the light green pearl.

“I could potentially use Alchemy to mould these into one. But for that, I need to learn alchemy.” Pondering that out loud, he proceeded to meditate.

As always, Force is ready to help him. He started to see images of worlds.

A world in the deep core, which has been burning for 125 years and cold for over 25 years, people can only live there in cavern systems. So no, not interested.

Then, another world with lighter gravity and shorter days than usual. It's in a unique star system with two suns. It's in the outer Rim, not far from Mandalore.

“A world on Salin Corridor Hyper route. This place is in a backwater world, but this world has significance in both Sith and Jedi histories.

However, it now remains hidden. The world’s name is Auratera.

This place will be the perfect place for Anakin to learn the lost art of alchemy, as well as meditate in a Force Vergence.

Force Vergence is a Force Nexus; in a sense, he is a nexus, but it's not as ‘natural’ or on a scale he would want to.

‘I guess I have a plan of action.’

With the course of action set, Anakin stopped with meditation and instead ignited the lightsaber.

The white blade hummed with energy; he only ignited one side. His eyes inspect the energy blade for a few moments before swinging it.

He allowed the force to flow through him, guiding some of his movements. Since the blade belonged to Darth Maul, he could see the past of the edge and all of its movements.

“That’s Shii-Cho, the way of Sarlacc. I am curious: who taught you the Form I of the lightsaber combat?” Qui-Gon Jinn asked Anakin, in a sense interrupting him. The boy sighed and turned off the lightsaber.

“The lightsaber, who else? You can look into the past of items with specific training.”

“That's a very advanced ability of Force, Anakin. Regardless, we will be arriving at Coruscant soon.”

With a nod, the boy followed after the Jedi Master. They walked to the cockpit, where they could see the blurring lights of Hyperscape.

A few minutes later, the ship exited the hyperspace, revealing the Ecumenopolis below them. It was a city the size of a planet.

“Is it your first time visiting it, Your Highness?” Anakin asked the Queen, who arrived, to look at the sight as well.

“...It is.”

“Then get ready because everything here is supersized, and I don't just mean the buildings.”

She slowly nodded as the Queen recalled their previous conversation.

“...And how do you know about this world?” Obi-Wan asked curiously, as the kid was very strange to him.

“Because I was here before.”

“...”

“...”

Only Qui-Gon Jinn had the look of understanding. The rest were confused

~~~

As the smooth chrome star yacht landed on a specially prepared platform meant for Naboo Royals, three people were waiting for the ship's arrival. Two of these people were Senate Guard.

Between them was a man in his late 40s dressed as a diplomat in Naboo-style clothes. This man was Sheev Palpatine.

As people exited the ship, the senator of Naboo walked towards the Queen with a slight smile on his face. For this man, it was time to reveal his acting skills, as it was what he was waiting for.

But— for a second, he frowned when he saw the boy with glowing green eyes.

“...Wow, Padme, this is so cool! How in this vast Galaxy did you get a Sith Lord as your Senator!? Where can I sign up? Does Naboo elect Kings as well!?”

“...”

“...”

“...”

“Pardon?”

Palpatine was confused, just like everyone else, especially the Jedi, as their hands twitched towards their Lightsabers when someone mentioned those two words like that!

“Huh…oh right… let me help you with that.” With hand motion, the ‘Sith Mask’ was dispelled as Sheev Palpatine disappeared and in its place was Darth Sidious.

What followed was inhuman, like a screech erupting from the Dark Lord, who used force to blast the confused Senate Guard away from him.

The Sith lifted his hands and pointed his fingers at Anakin.

“You brat will pay for this! Now DIE!!!”

Blue lightning erupted from his hands and rushed towards Anakin, who extended his palm and was about to intercept, but the dumbstruck Jedi got over their disbelief and engaged the Sith Lord.

*Tsk*

“I wanted to send him flying. I had never seen a Sith flying from a tall building before.” Anakin mumbled that to himself.

“Take the queen to safety. We shall engage the Sith Lord!” Qui Gon Jinn told them before lunging at Darth Sidious, who pulled out a pair of lightsabers with red colour.

The confused Naboo guards nodded before starting to take Padme away.

Anakin followed after seeing the fight. But this wasn't a real fight. No, Sidious won't stick around for long; his plans failed! He needs to regroup.

Sure enough, the Dark Lord focused on the weaker link. Obi-Wan. The powerful Sith overwhelmed the Padawan, electrifying him before throwing the Jedi at his Master.

Once the pair collided, the Sith Lord used force to jump on a speeding car in one of the traffic lanes. With casual motion, he used force to yank the driver out of the car and took over.

Just like that, Darth Sidious was gone.

However, Anakin’s trick has revealed him to the Jedi Temple, and at that moment, several Jedi Masters went to investigate such a massive burst of Dark Side in Coruscant no less!

~~~

“W-What was that? The Senator's face turned into such an ugly thing!” Padme exclaimed as she panicked. It's like someone replaced her Senator like that! At such a critical time!

“That's a Sith Lord. I thought you knew who you hired.” Anakin still pretended as he ‘trolled’ her.

“...No time for jokes, Anakin!”

“Right, Right. I apologise; that was a Sith Lord; they are the dark-side users. They use force, but they use it through negative emotions, like greed and anger; such use of force eventually warps their mind.

Your Senator was one of two Masters of the Dark Side.”

“...For how long!? Was he replaced at one point!?”

As she was questioning everything, the pair of Jedi walked over; the team of Master and Padawan looked ruffled.

“The Dark Lord escaped. For now, Anakin, you must come with us, as we must explain this to the council; I will ask them to send more guards for you, Your Highness. The reveal of the Dark Lord changes everything.”

“I understand, Master Jedi.” The Queen nodded while Anakin pondered if he had made the right choice; now, these idiots would nag him like small kids.

“Fine, let’s go. I can’t wait to decline their offer.”

Anakin didn't hide his dissatisfaction, which made Qui-Gon Jinn grimace for a second. Why can this kid be more positive?
