Star Wars: Revan Thru Time

Ascendant

Anakin looked around in the formless place he was. The dark swirling with the light. One Force yet, separate in some way, unified. He gasped as he saw another figure one in the robes of the masked Sith who claimed to be a Jedi who had caused so many problems. Anakin saw how he glowed as if he was only partly there as the man reached up and took the mask from his face. He looked not as confused as Anakin felt, but he carried a happy, sad look on his face as ghosts seemed to drift closer to him. He saw several humans, some brighter than others while some were dark. He saw several alien races, many that he had seen and some that he only had seen in a holo or even rarer a real book.

Two of them stood out as they lingered a bit longer than the others. One was a rare Cathar and the other a Wookie. It was Revan's body language that had really marked these two as he tried to find another around the Wookie but did not. Slowly the parade of different people stopped appearing and Revan looked at Anakin. He had been looking intently at his old friends and colleagues. Revan's very soul hurt as he saw the ones he had led to their deaths. That they gave him a bit of peace as each of them had passed by him letting him know that it had been their destiny to die in his time, at his command. Others show they had accepted their role in the dark side of the Force and the path it leads them on. Darth Kriea had come to him last as a beacon of both the light and the dark. That she had found, balance, after her death gave Revan strength.

He watched the boy Anakin and the few beings that surrounded him. There was one who held so close to him, he could only know her as his mother. He had seen her happy yet so sad at the Jedi he had become and the lies that twisted him. These were just starting to unravel as Anakin looked to be talking to this motherly figure. How he cried as he smiled.

Revan never really connected with his mother and Anakin looked very much enthralled by him. This adoration seemed to infuse his very soul. It took what felt like forever for the worship of her to calm down, to a more balance love of the woman as the lies he had accepted were revealed one by one and were shattered or were torn apart. Anakin's spirit glowed brightly once his life had been revealed in all its truths. The future Revan saw in him went from the darkness to one of balance. Here was a concern as Revan suddenly needed to find a way out of this dream only to find that he found no attachment to his body. He looked over at Anakin to see the same panic travel over his ghostly face.

"What did you do?!" Anakin's anger flared as he lashed out and Revan swatted the strong attack away as if it had not happened.

"We cleared the veil on the Force. One built since my time. One that got stronger as the Jedi of old died alongside the Sith of old. How they still are trapped on Ruusan after a thousand years. We must help each other if we plan to leave the oneness of the Force."

"Oneness of the Force?"

"Yes, Anakin you have become nearly one with the Force." Revan saw an older Jedi appear as nearly solid as they did. Anakin surprise switched over to respect of one he saw as a father figure. One that Revan felt should have brought balance to the brash Jedi Anakin had presented himself as.

"Master Qui Gon, what do you mean?"

"Anakin your body is near death. You are on the cusp of joining me and those who came before you in the Force."

"But my wife? The war. I have to..."

"Do nothing. They will live on and the war is nearly over. The ones who hide in the darkness can no longer hide as the light shines on them. The battles will continue, but the purpose of the war has changed to a thousand different goals. It will pull itself apart no longer able to find the focus it needs to pretend to be a war."

"I can't just do nothing. I am the chosen one."

"Are you? You have denied this since you first felt bound. No, you fulfilled the role of the chosen one. You have brought balance back to the Force as you cleansed the first Nexus of the Force."

"I still have to do something."

"If you do, you will fall into another war. Stay and let the living help the living."

"I am not dead."

"Are you alive?"

"I am not dead?"

"Proof you must present." Anakin glared at Qui Gon as he paced back and forth. Then Anakin stopped and bowed his head. Revan smiled as he put his mask back on then found it no longer fit. The Mandelorian War had been over for millennium. The dead had been avenged just as long. Revan reached out through the Force to find Bastila and his son, Vaner. That he saw his grandchildren Reasa and Bress. Several other grandchildren followed until a Jedi by the name of Taseile gave birth to a daughter by the name of Satele who had a son named Theron. Their names fade into darkness so profound that it chills Revan to his core.

However, some part of him denies this future and though he knows his wife is pregnant with a son and he is inclined to name him Vaner, he knows that this future is a past that never came to be that his future, was a large unknown. This strengthens his hold on the mortal world and dispels the fog preventing him from seeing the line back to his body. His last effort just before he rushes back to his body is to snag the arguing young Anakin as he too faces a future that is not quite what it will be. Revan's body suddenly inhales deeply before coughing in sync Anakin's as they both come suddenly back to the living. Evan looked up into Bastila's eyes to see the tear change as the sorrow is replaced with joyful relief. He sees Eris slowly come to her feet looking as puzzled as he had felt not a moment before. He could hear another, crying and he looked over to see Ahsoka cries as she cradled Anakin's head in her lap and a grin formed on his face as he noticed that Anakin was struggling to free himself from the grasp on his head.

"Ahsoka you can let go now."

"Skyguy!" She leaned over and without warning, kissed him fully on the lips. Anakin muffled words could not be heard as he struggled with his apprentice.

"Ahsoka must you really?" Kenobi scolded her with humor in his voice. Ahsoka pulled suddenly away as her face blushed brightly as it fought with the shock of what she had done sank in. Anakin was nearly white as he sat up with the help Kenobi offered as he was laughing. Then Revan laughed as Ahsoka tackled Anakin in a hug.

"Hey, I am looking at you, not them." Evan looked up at his Bastila and pulled her down into a kiss. It nearly drew his attention from the antics of the three younger Jedi. The kiss still left him feeling all of Bastila's love as he shared his love with her. They broke their kiss to see everyone was looking at them or more exactly at Evan himself. They helped each other to their feet and the embarrassing situation had vanished from their faces except for a few furtive glances from Ahsoka. Eris cleared her throat, gaining everyone's attention.

"I believe we are done here, and if you are as hungry as I feel it only tends to reason that we begin." Eris looks to each of them as Kenobi turns and walks out with the rest following.
