The Arrival 16 Balance And The Force

A week ago...." So my apprentice what your telling me is you and your people, know everything that is going to happen in this universe." A skeptic Revan said as he stared at Jack. Jack sighed he knew that it his master would have a hard time believing him. h.e.l.l anyone would have a hard time believing anyone who said they knew all of what the future held.

Sure force visions have always been a thing, and even some of the strongest users of this power would have some what clear visions. This was not that, he had shown Revan through his memories the entire history of the star wars universe. Everything that had happened and everything that would happen. After Revan finished looking through Jack's mind he was quiet.

For a long time he didn't say anything, Jack was worry that maybe showing his Master all of that some how damaged him. After what felt like forever Revan sighed, " So your people have seen the future somehow but could not predict the Mandlorains invading your home planet so that atlest proves that the future can be changed. The only question is should we change it and how much of it should we change." Jack quickly let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in. His Master was fine , but he had posed a difficult question to Jack.

It was one that Jack himself had been thinking about a lot. "Master I feel like we have no choice but to flip the current game board. If we don't the galaxy as a whole would be invaded by the Yuuzhan Vong Empire and nothing good comes after that." Revan looked at Jack , " Well if that is the case I say we began with this boy they all call the chosen one. You and the others must collect both the boy and his mother and return them to your planet undetected. When you return I want you and the others to come to my legacy site during your time off to finish our training. When you come bring the boy."

Present day....Anakin looked around in the room that had seemingly appeared from nowhere. All around him fog seemed to cover everything, and his only safety net was the fact that Jack ha been beside him. "Where are we...how did we leave the s.h.i.+p." Anakin asked Jack in a confused manner. Jack smiled and said nothing he sat there waiting on something or someone to arrive. He did not wait along as he went to his knee while speaking to the figure that was walking up to him and Anakin.

"Master we have fulfilled the task you have given us. May I present to you Anakin Skywalker the chosen one." Revan stared at the boy, he could feel the force coming off of the boy. It was strong but not as strong as his 20 other apprentices, but he could still train the boy to be a power house in his own right. " Skywalker...Jack tells me you wish to learn the force is that true?" Anakin quickly nodded the man in front of him frighten him a bit.

Even though he was not a jedi Anakin could tell the person in front of him was very strong. " Revan laughed, "Good then you can train with Jack until you are strong enough to use the force scape with you other senior apprentices. Train hard young Skywalker I expect great things from you..." With that the fog world began to fade around Jack and Anakin until the two found themselves back in Jack's room.

Jack turned to Anakin and smiled, " We have three weeks go and rest we begin in 8 hours." Jack then lifted the boy off his bed with the force and kicked him out of his room. Anakin swore as he went flying out of the room into the hall. This made Jack smile this was going to be an interesting three weeks back.

Every day for the next three weeks Jack had Anakin but through the ringer. Meditation, physical training, weapons, tactics, any thing that the young mandlorain had done he did to the boy. He did not expect much from some one less than half of his age but Anakin had a grit to him that put Jack in a good mood every time he saw him.

After three weeks the group had final made it back to Earth. They had been the last of the commandos to return. Though it too longer to get back to Earth the gains from the extra time showed in their training results. Soon Jack was sure he would have everything he need to challenge the elder consul and force a change in the mandlorains. That however would come later for now they had a place to be.

Landing the s.h.i.+p in the s.p.a.ceport the s.h.i.+p was almost immediately swarmed by technicians. They had made it known before they landed they were bringing back a prototype s.h.i.+p that they took from the Republic. Plans had been made to take the entire s.h.i.+p apart to be able to design their own version of the s.h.i.+p.

Jack had been a bit reluctant to let them take the s.h.i.+p apart but he had been a.s.sured by high command that he would be getting the first one of the redesigns that would come from it. With that he allowed the s.h.i.+p to be taken apart. During this mad frenzy Jack had Anakin and Shmi smuggled out and hid them in a hotel until they could retrieve them.

It would be atlest two days before they could pick Anakin and Shmi up, because with their return came the ceremony that would finally make them true Mandlorains. When the ceremony was compete they would enjoy all the benefits that would come with being part of the clan,and the restriction on their movements would be lifted. When that happened they would be able to go to Revan's legacy site and complete their force training.

After two days of hand shaking and blood oaths Jack and the Demon Dog had become full members of the Darkhide Clan. Jack had found out that all of the commandos had gotten into their respected clans which would be a plus to any schemes Jack would have for them. The one unexpected thing that did occur was Sharia coming to personally take Jack and the others in to the clan.

Elders are not normally involved in welcoming new members of a clan. Sharia told Jack and the others that it was to thank them for killing one of the many people responsible for driving them off their home planet. She also relaid news about the demon dogs families to them for most everything was fine. Jack on the other had lost both his parents, it turns out they had been killed during the initial changing of the planet governments. They had been killed by clan members who were taking advantage of the chaos to rob the natives of anything valuable.

Sharia a.s.sured Jack that the two clan members had been severely punished for their actions. It did nothing for Jack as he silently walked away from her as his grief began building up inside of him. The force started to visibly seeped from Jack as his two friends hurried to cart him away. This was just another thing that Jack would add to the bill that the Darkhides would pay him.

Sharia swore as she watched Jack and his men walked out of the clan building. She had just found out about the boys family being killed by her clans members. Now how could she trust that the boy would have the clan interest at heart when the clan had already taken something very precious to him. Turning to her aids, " What happen to the two that killed his family." The aids looked visibly scared to answer. Finally one mustered up the courage," Nothing commander they are sons of a elders so nothing was done." 'Well s.h.i.+t this is not going to end well' Sharia thought.

With that she sent holo messages to each of those elders informing them that their sons killed family members of the Demon Forges commando units, and should expect said person to seek revenge on their sons. She also reminded them that because they interfered to stop their children from being punished if the interfered this time she would allow said platoon leader to kill them as well.

She sent her aids to find the two morons and bring them to her. The lest she could do to appease the boy's anger was to present the killers of his family to him with the support to do as he saw fit with them. This would not fix anything but it was a start she hoped.
