Chapter 88: The Phantom Menace (Part 3)

A FEW DAYS LATER, ABOVE NABOO:

A light cruiser-class starship exited the hyperspace. Alexander tried to sense through force, the new arrivals. Alexander sensed very weak force presences and was confused. Alexander turned to his four bodyguards and said, " I sense some very weak presences on that ship. What such weak people are doing here?"

Jerek replied, " It's not that they are weak, Your Majesty, it just that you are too strong. Please, try to sense us in the force, Your Majesty."

Alexander tried to sense his bodyguards and felt some weak presences in force. Alexander said, " I can sense you. You are stronger than them but still weak...I think that you are right Jerek, I am so strong that I feel that others are weak. It's a very dangerous notion to have. I am going into meditation. Follow the Queen of Naboo, till I wake up. I have to practice my sensing skill."

Alexander went into deep meditation and released himself completely in force. Due to that dark shroud, it took him some time to sense the normal population of the galaxy. The shroud was quite brilliant in it's working, the more the powerful someone was, the more difficulty they would have in sensing the force. The shroud was also capable of giving occasional false visions when someone fell too deeply in force. The shroud tried to give Alexander false visions but a slight tearing was all it took to warn the semi-sentient shroud that it would be a very bad idea to try to influence him. The shroud was like a leech and siphoned off small amount of force from it's controller or moderator, in order to strengthen itself. The shroud was not a tool of the sith lords but there was a somewhat symbiotic relationship between the two. The shroud wanted to change it's controller position from Darth Sidious' master to Alexander but Alexander told it to stay put for some more time. The shroud reluctantly agreed and didn't block Alexander's way.

Alexander was now able to sense everything like before. The shroud was only 200 years old so it was not there when Alexander had last done force sensing. As Alexander was the most powerful being in the galaxy, there was nothing that was hidden to him. Alexander was able to sense the whole galaxy at once but no one was able to sense him.  Alexander saw as The Nabooian Royal Cruiser landed on Tatooine. Alexander thought, " So, it has been a week since I went into meditation." Alexander also sensed that  THE MONARCH was now also above Naboo. Alexander was quite perplexed when he sensed a somewhat familiar presence on Naboo. Alexander turned to Captain Nemo and said, " Take us down."

THE MONARCH in slealth mode landed near Mos Espa and Alexander stepped out into the desert planet. Alexander was 90 percent dragon so the heat did not affect him and Ballastians were also unaffected. Alexander wanted to completely transform into dragon in a cultivation world so that he would be able to have maximum benefits from cultivation. Moreover, Alexander didn't know whether he would be able to transform back into human form or not after he fully transforms into a dragon. Alexander stopped at a distance of 100 metres from the location of the familiar presence. Alexander saw a run down shop called 'Watto Works' and saw a young boy hauling broken machine parts inside. The boy was the source of the presence. Alexander heard a blue skin alien yell 'Anakin' as the boy dropped a crate. Alexander realised that the boy was Anakin Skywalker, 'The Chosen One of Force' or in reality, the pawn of fate who was used to end both Jedi and Sith.

The Jedi and Sith had for many times interfered in the working of fate; creating needless wars, saving lives which were not meant to be saved in case of Jedi and reaping lives whose time had not come yet in case of Sith, and acting as general nuisance to the frustration of fate. Every universe has it's own fate and in powerful worlds, this fate takes material form like Norns in Norse universe, fate in Greek and Roman universe and so on. The Jedi and Sith were continuously changing the script set by the fate so the fate sought to eliminate them. Now, in most universes, the dying force managed to let out a fragment of itself from it's prison and that fragment entered Shmi Skywalker's womb to gain a material form but was ejected out of the material world before it could fully assimilate with the developing fetus by the laws of world. But, the fragment left some of it's energy behind, which gave Anakin Skywalker his enhanced senses, great midichlorian count and increased connection to the force. The Skywalker child and his descendents were used as a pawn by fate to completely eradicate both the Jedi and Sith from the galaxy. The fate of Luke Skywalker discouraged Rey in most universes, from trying to reestablish the Jedi order. In most universes, the people of the galaxy themselves were also not keen on seeing the rise of any type of force group as the astronomical amount of lives lost due to war between various force users in the past decades, had soured their attitude towards force wielders in general,  so, in the end, both the Jedi and Sith were nearly extinct.
