Star Wars: Anakin Si c2

Chapter 2

The Queen of Naboo's cheeks exploded in red when she heard that, how can someone be brazen like that!

"Not many people can stare at me like that and not be terrified." Anakin with an amused smile said that.

He then looked at Qui-Gon Jinn.

"Master Jedi you can take the hyperdrive generator, in return I want her." The boy pointed at the girl.

His request was so shocking that both of them and even the Gungan who was already exploring the shop stopped in his tracks and looked back at the group.

"..."

"..."

Anakin just raised his eyebrow at them.

"Slavery is forbidden by Republic!" The girl snapped first and said the very first thing which came to her mind.

"Slavery? Where did I ask you to be my slave? You have quite a… kinky mind for someone your age." Anakin shook his head in an amused way.

The girl's face exploded into an even deeper shade of red.

"A-A-Age? I am older than you!" She pointed her finger with an extremely red face.

"I am a force-sensitive individual here, I saw more of Galaxy than you did and, I had to mature early thanks to my ex-slave status."

She quickly lowered her finger and had an ashamed look.

'So easy to manipulate, she is so naive…' Anakin internally rolled his eyes.

"Then what do you mean by 'want her'?" Qui-Gon Jinn eventually asked the boy after listening in with an amused smile, he witnessed how the boy played the girl around his finger like a seasoned politician from Coruscant.

"As future wife." He said with an eye roll.

"As the Queen of Naboo, she has the experience in running stuff, in this case, a planet-size state, and she can speak up her mind, and she is beautiful as well," Anakin said all that with a straight face.

All the compliments made the girl want to hide somewhere, not only that but he saw through her disguise!

Qui-Gon Jinn could only sigh hearing all that, when the boy spelt all the things like that he knows that the boy is serious.

"Well all this is not for today or even a year, since I know you have your term as Queen and all that, think of this like my investment to save your homeworld."

The girl finally calmed down and took a deep breath, this whole thing just rolled out of control.

"This is your choice, Your Highness." Qui-Gon Jinn said while thinking internally about how he is going to present this case to the Jedi High Council.

The girl's answer was quick, she barely thought on this matter.

"I agree with your proposition, my people need help and I will not going to accept this because of personal matters." She said with a Queen-like tone.

Anakin just rolled his eyes at her hearing that.

"You sound as if it's a bad thing!" He voiced his displeasure.

"I am master in engineering, piloting, even my force powers are in the realm of their own! And yet you voiced as if I am the weaker link in this!" Anakin pouted for a second, his soul might be an adult one, but he is inhabiting a child's body.

Once again the girl blushed from embarrassment, her displeasure at the development leaked into how she worded her sentence.

"I apologise that it sounded like that." The girl quickly apologised.

He nodded then looked at his droid.

"Bring them the T-14 Hyperdrive Generator." He asked the droid, he then away from the droid and towards somewhere else, The Jedi Master sensed that the boy used the force on something, but before he can ask Anakin started speaking first.

"It seems we will be able to talk more, after all, there is a sandstorm coming this way." The boy said as he turned back to their direction.

Qui-Gon Jinn for a second was impressed by the boy, he can sense storms?

The Master Jedi tried to do the same, but it took him much longer than the boy, and it's not of great danger to anyone, it's just regular storms, yet he picked it up this casually?

"Anakin is right, we won't be able to return to the ship in this kind of weather condition." Qui-Gon Jinn agreed with Anakin.

"You can all rest for today in my house, it's connected with the store after all." He motioned for them to follow him.

~~~

"Mom I am back!" Anakin said when he entered the house section of the store.

His mother left the kitchen and went over to see the boy but she got slightly shocked to see that he got guests.

"Let me introduce…" The boy pointed at the Jedi Master.

"Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn." The Jedi was shocked then the boy said his name, they haven't introduced themselves have they? The boy controlled the whole conversation like it was a natural thing to do!

"The dry-looking Gungan is Jar Jar Bings…" He pointed at the reptilian alien.

"And the girl is Queen of Naboo Padme Amidala, she might be your future daughter-in-law's mom." He said the second half with a smile, earning a blush from the girl and a facepalm from his mother.

"I do apologise for my son's behaviour, he started teasing people like that after taking over the shop." Shmi quickly apologised for Anakin.

"No, no it's fine, I already understood that while being in the store." Qui-Gon Jinn quickly calmed the woman down.

While Padme who by all means and purposes is still green in the relationship area looked at the boy with raised eyebrow.

"Wait! You only teased me back there?" She asked with a slight pout of her own, while Qui-Gon Jinn wanted to facepalm now himself.

"No, I did not, do you know how much that Hyperdrive generator cost in this part of Galaxy?" he asked her in turn, as he motioned to follow inside their house.

Padme decided to follow him after taking off her shoes, once again Qui-Gon Jinn noticed how the boy make the girl listen to him, he wonders if it was because he is the Chosen One?

"...So it's the truth then?" Shmi asked with wide eyes.

"I believe so, she agreed to his proposition, well believe it's more like a promise." Qui-Gon Jinn quickly explained that he can sense that this woman, really worries for her son.

She took a deep breath and relaxed slightly.

"He does so many crazy things in the past two years that I believe I will die from worrying." the woman sighed saying that.

"Crazy things? You mean with force?" The Jedi Master asked curiously, he wants to learn what else the boy has achieved.

"That included, but more precisely he killed a Krayt Dragon with his droids…" Shmi showed a pearl she has for a necklace.

Qui-Gon Jinn's eyes widened hearing that.

"That's… impressive, even in Jedi standards." The Jedi Master was impressed at Anakin has achieved at such a young age!

But Shmi was not impressed…

"Please Jedi Master follow me to the living room, dinner soon be ready."

The Jedi nodded and followed inside the living room.

~~~

"First of while I did tease some customers, more specifically female bounty hunters who got interested in my custom blaster pistols, it was only a joke, but they were serious, to the point that they wanted to kidnap me." He said that with a deadpan look, remembering that time.

"Ever since then my mom was on edge each time she hears me tease some girls."

Padme just looked at him with an amused smile.

"I see, so how much would that Hyperdrive cost here?" Her question reminded him of that.

So, he quickly pulled out a datapad and showed it to her.

"Here, this is the market prices of T-14 Hyperdrive generator, in some places, it's better to buy a used J-327 Nubian starship than it's partly because it's manufactured by a small company on your homeworld it's harder to get parts than the ship itself." He explained to her while the girl's eyes bulged out seeing the prices.

"It's a high-end ship, with a custom 1.8 class Hyperdrive capacity, you nobles don't know where to spend credits are you?" Anakin joked while saying that.

"What you see here are market prices in controlled Hutt Space, so the credits here are different from the credits used in Republic, the numbers you see with Republic credits are here." He switched the numbers, and the girl palled even further.

"T-This is daylight robbery!" She said with disbelief that someone can ask this much for a piece of ship!

"The rarer the ship the more expensive the part." He just shrugged at her.

"I can buy a Corellian Corvette for that much money!" She gave the datapad back to him.

"Not in this part of Galaxy,"

So, she huffed at him.

"Now you know that I am not joking," His words made her remember the previous conversation and she quickly lost her pout instead tried not to blush.

"Yes. You were not laying… I will keep my word." She said that quite seriously which made Anakin think about this a little bit. While Force almost begged him to check possible futures if he wants to.

He declined that though, his reasons for that being that it's… boring.

~~~

As evening came the sandstorm was over and the young boy was outside meditating like he was doing every single day since he arrived at this reality.

The difference however was that this time there was a Master Jedi in his home who was watching everything he was doing with curiosity.

"Force in this place is… extremely peaceful and… content? I never sensed anything like this."

"It wasn't always like this. It took me a couple of years to turn this place into what I like." Anakin said that without even looking at the Jedi Master who was just standing behind him.

"Turn this place? You made the force do this? This is not the Jedi way."

"I know. Where the Sith try to control the force and bend it to their will. Jedi are the complete opposite to them.

However, neither Jedi nor Sith tried to understand that one needs to be one with the force to understand what it." The boy explained to Qui-Gon Jinn whose eyes widened to a large degree.

Anakin just said… 'one with the force'!

"I can sense that my words have quite shocked you. Force doesn't have a side. It's a concept created by the people. To the force, there is no side. Only how one is using it. For good, for evil, for people, or for selfish reasons.

So, trying to understand it through the lenses of the Light side is like trying to understand a painting just by seeing half of it. Or trying to predict an ending of a book only reading half it."

"...How did you learn all of this?"

"The force. It shows everything if you want to know." Anakin said that.

He then for a second stopped his meditation and opened his eyes and turned slightly to the side.

"Let me show you something. Have you ever been to Tython?"

The question got the Qui-Gon Jinn of guard for a moment.

"It's an ancient world closely related to the Jedi. Yet, I never had a chance to visit it."

"You not wrong, that it has relation to Jedi, but that planet is strong in force. Not in a side of a force. That world is the ancient birthplace of Je'daii." Anakin explained a little bit more about the Tython.

"Je'daii an ancient name to Jedi?" For a second he was confused about this. He has heard of Je'daii… but he can sense something was off…

"You can think that Jedi are saying that they are successors of Je'daii but they are partially correct."

Anakin motioned for the Jedi Master to sit down next to him.

"Now reach into to the force and let the journey begin." The boy said that as he got into position himself.

Qui-Gon Jinn for a second thought about this. In the end, it was no brainer he wants to learn about being one with the Force!
