The New Jedi Knights

2006-09-12T18:36:00.000-07:00

I am dedicating this story to my favorite nice and nephew, Emily and Ben Aaron. They are very special to me, even the title of this story “The New Jedi Knights are in their honor. Emily and Ben, may the Force be with you.

The Death Star has been destroyed. Our Earthly Jedi is given their most deserved and needed rest. Emily and Ben are being trained as Jedi Knights. They are very excited to do their best on behalf of their uncle. As things go back to normal for Earth, the Tok’ra are beginning to become Force empowered. Even though the Death Star has been destroyed, the Ubaids are still on the war path with all Jedi Knights.

As Sam confronts her past and makes peace with it, the Ubaids have plans to separate the two Jedi that had destroyed their Death Star. By separating these two Jedi, it will make their task in destroying the Jedi Tok’ra and all Jedi Knights easier for them. Master Jedi Sam O’Neill and Master Jedi Brandon Bowers are the only trump cards that the Tok’ra has in their defense against the Ubaids.

Behind the scenes someone else is working on a plan to destroy all Jedi Knights. This someone has been planning to destroy the Jedi Knights for many generations. Will the Jedi on Earth find out about this before it is too late? Will Master Jedi Sam O'Neill and Master Jedi Brandon Bowers be enough to stop this new threat? What the Ubaids may not realize is that two young Jedi Apprentices are training to become Jedi Knights. Yoda and Jolinar has taught them a great deal than they realize. It may be up to two Young Jedi Apprentices to save the Tok’ra and possible planet Earth.

As Master Jedi Sam O'Neill and Master Jedi Brandon Bowers train Emily and Ben to become Jedi, they will find many interesting things about the ancient Jedi Knights. As they learn this information, all Jedi will be able to learn more of what it takes to be a Jedi Knight. This information that the ancient Jedi have left for them to learn will help them defeat the threats that they will face. A great more is in store for our Jedi Knights once the enemies are defeated.

The history of the Jedi will become a big part of the Jedi of today in times to come. First the Jedi of today must deal with defeating the Ubaids. Once true balance of the Force is met, the ancient history of the Jedi can be a part of the Jedi of today. The Jedi of today will learn that being a Jedi is more then what they could ever know. When the ancient enemy of the Jedi is defeated, can all Jedi throughout time can be as it should be. The history of the Jedi will once more come alive.

Chapter 17: New Allies

Chapter 17: New Allies

When they got to the other side of the wormhole,the place they arrived at was empty. They had to walk through two rooms of avery large hallway to find a room that had something in it.

On one the doorways in that room had a type ofcuneiform script. It was Brandon that had to use the Force to translate what itsaid.

Brandon read it out loud to Nomi, “Library ofthe Akkadians.”

After reading it, Brandon had a puzzled look onhis face. “That is very interesting. There is a period in Earth's history thathad the same name, Akkadian.”

Nomi replied, “It is up to us to read thesebooks, and learn what we can from these Akkadians. These people might just beallies of the ancient Jedi since the ancient Jedi are from Earth.”

When they walk into the library, they found outthat it was a very large library. Brandon said, “I think that we need to callthe others over here. We will need help in reading these books.”

Nomi said jokingly, “All we need is Daniel.”

Brandon smiled at her, and they both went backto the Stargate to ask for help.

Nomiand Brandon entered the SGC. Marastated, “That was quick.”

Brandontold them what they found. “We needDaniel, and a few other Jedi in this library. The Library is humongous!”

Mara asked confusingly, “Whatlibrary?”

Nomi toldthem that Brandon read a sign that stated, “Library of the Akkadians.”

Brandoncommitted, “I think this time it was simple a coincident that we found this libraryso quickly.”

Marasaid, “It is not. It was you that read that writing. If it was not for you inreading it, you two would not have found it. How long it took you to find it isnot the important thing. What is important is that you two found this library.After we came to your world, Luke and I have been reading a great deal onancient history of Earth. I too am very interested in knowing about theseAkkadians.”

MasterVodo used the Force to establish a wormhole connection with the Stargate thatwas in the great city of the Jedi. As expected, there was no one there to greethim. He used the Force to find Sam and the others.

After ashort walk Master Vodo finally came up to them.

Jackstated, “Don't tell me, Nomi and Brandon has found something important.”

MasterVodo gave out a wide smile and said, “What else.”

Hetold them about what they discovered.

Sam,Emily, Ben, and Daniel gathered their belongings and went back with Master Vodoto the SGC.

When they all arrived back atthe SGC, Master Vodo said, “I will stay here at the SGC until I am neededelsewhere. Please keep us informed on your progress.”

Samassured him that they would. If these Akkadians are friends of the ancientJedi, then what we find in this library can be very helpful to us.

AfterDaniel gathered all the equipment that he would need, General Davis commanded,“Dial in the destination.”

When allchevrons were dialed and the wormhole was established, everyone went throughthe Stargate. Hearing the Stargate dialon their end, Mara was the one that greeted them and walked them to thelibrary.

When theyall entered, Sam asked, “What have you three found out so far?

Nomianswered, “We have not found out that much, but we have confirmed that they arefriends with the ancient Jedi, and something very interesting.”

Nomilooked at Brandon to allow him to tell the new arrivals the news.

Brandonsmiled and told everyone what they discovered. “These Akkadians are descendantsof the Akkadians from Earth history.”

Saminterrupted, “You said they are descendants. You mean these Akkadians arealive?

Brandon smiled, “Yes they are alive. They arenot here on this planet, but yes they are alive.”

Ben asked, “How do we reachthese Akkadians?”

Brandonshowed them the book that answered that question. The book also had informationthat they are powerful with the Light side of the Force.

Emilystated, “We will need them to help us fight the Emperor. I am sure that the Emperoris building an army that will out fight our forces since he know all aboutEarth and its allies.”

Brandonsaid, “That is why Nomi and I will be talking with them.”

He lookedat his Master, “I would like for you to go with us. You and I should staytogether. Since Mara has found Sith Artifacts here, it would not be a smartidea for us to be separated.”

Benasked, “Can we go along with all of you?”

Samanswered, “Yes, you and Emily can go with us, but the rest of you need to stayhere. The more that is doing research in this library the better.”

Samlooked at Nomi and Brandon, “We better get going.”

Theysaid their farewells to everyone and went to the Stargate to meet theseAkkadians.

Indeedthe Emperor was building up a very gigantic army. This army was not simply aclone army as it was during the clone wars. This army was created by means ofcellular mitosis by the Dark powers of the Force.

Thesecreatures are a lot more powerful and obedient than the storm troopers wereduring the clone wars. The storm trooperswere designed to take over the galaxy. This army is created for one thing, andone thing only, to completely and totally destroy all Jedi Knights.

By havingthe Jedi Knights removed completely, the Emperor will be able to not only takeover the galaxy but the entire universe without any trouble whatsoever. TheAsgards will not be able to stop the Emperor alone.

**********

TheEmperor said to Enki, “You have done well in creating those clones. Everyone onEarth even those Asgards thought that they destroyed you. They have donenothing but play right into my hands. By seeing them fight, I was able to knowtheir strengths and weaknesses. Now I know how to destroy everyone on Earth,and completely destroy all the Jedi Knights.”

Enkiasked, “What about Jedi Master Nomi Sunrider and Master Jedi Brandon Bowers?Are they still a threat to our goals?”

TheEmperor answered, “Yes those two Jedi are very powerful indeed. With Master SamO'Neill, her husband, and those two young Jedi, it makes our plans harder. Infact, those Jedi could even destroy me.”

Enkireplied, “I thought that neither side of the Force could be destroyed.”

TheEmperor committed, “That is true, but they can destroy me by not allowing me tocome out into this existence any more. It will take a great deal to do this,but it can be done. That is why I have been growing this grand army from thebeginning.”

“Ihave been doing this before the Clone Wars. I was planning to use this army onthe Jedi without the use of the storm troopers, but I was not able to haveenough for my plans to succeed. Now I will in a short time have the armies thatI wanted to use in the first place. With the larger numbers in this army no onewill be able to defeat me.”

Enkiasked, “How long will it take before anyone can find out about it?”

TheEmperor just laughed. “Do worry about them finding out. If anyone knew aboutthis army, they would have done something about it a long time ago. Do not fearmy friend. The only time they will know about this army is when I let them knowabout it. When that time comes, they will be fighting them. They will bedefeated by them totally.”

**********

As thefive Jedi and Dentralla went through the Stargate to have a conversation withthe Akkadians, they found three people were waiting for them on the other sideof the wormhole.

MasterJedi Brandon Bowers knew by the use of the Force that one was the leader, onewas the Second in command, and the other was the leader of Akkadian military.

Theleader of the Akkadians spoke, “Greetings Jedi. I am Sargon.”

Sargonsmiled and continued, “No I am not the Sargon the Great from Earth's past. Theone on my left is my second in command. His name is Nar. My General of myarmies is called Ram.”

Brandonreplied, “Thank you for your greeting us. I take it that you three are JediKnight since you were here waiting for us.”

“Allof the Akkadians are Jedi. It was by the Force that all of you would come,Master Jedi Brandon Bowers.”

Samcommitted, “You must be very powerful with the Force to be able to know ournames.”

“We arevery powerful with the Force, but it was not by the Force that we know younames. Ever since the Jedi have been on Earth, we have been keeping a constanteye out on everything that has been going on with Earth. Since then we havebeen preparing a grand army to finally fight the Emperor and his grand armythat he has been growing since the Clone Wars.”

Sam wentwide eyed in shock, “How could he have built this army without anyone knowingabout it?”

“We havejust found out about it ourselves a few months ago. The Emperor has used allthe power of the Dark-side to keep it a secret. All we know is that it is avery large army that has been grown by cellular mitosis by the Dark powers ofthe Force. It will not be long for this army will be complete.”

Nomiasked Sargon, “How long will your forces be ready to fight this grand army ofthe Emperor?”

“We areready now. It will be a little time for Earth to be ready. The Force has beenstrong with the Jedi on Earth, but the training is not yet complete.”

Ben said,“When you are ready to go to Earth, my sister and I will represent you whilethese Jedi Masters work with your armies here.

Ramasked, “Will Master Vodo be on Earth?”

Nomishowed a puzzled look. “How do you know Master Vodo? We all came over 4,000years in the past.”

Ramsmiled, “Nomi have you not forgotten that the ancient Jedi knows how to travelin time. The Jedi has taught the Akkadians how to travel in time by the use ofthe Stargate. We Akkadians have passed this knowledge through generations.Master Vodo and I are very good friends. I am surprised that he did not tellyou about me.”

Nomisaid, “I guess he did not tell me because of he was concerned about the timeline being in peril.”

Narbusted out with laughter. “The so called “grandfather paradox” is not true. Ifgoing through time would change the events, then the Asgards would not haveshown the Jedi how to travel in time to begin with.”

Samasked, “Can Emperor Palpatine go back in time and destroy all these ancientJedi?”

Sargonanswered, “The Emperor plans were not to destroy the Jedi of the past, but todestroy the machine that we call the Light-side of the Force. He would notsucceed even if all the Jedi Knight has not interfered with his plans.”

“IfI can restate your question, ‘can the Emperor go back in time and fulfill hisplan?' The answer is no. Just the same he will do his very best after hedestroys every Jedi Knight in this time. Even if he cannot destroy theLight-side of the Force, he can at least be content in having all the Jedidead.”

Brandonasked, “Since the ancient Jedi can travel in time, can they help us fight the Emperornow?”

Ram said,“Since the Emperor cannot change the past, neither can a Jedi go into the futureto alter the course of history. History is history no matter what time it isin. What will be to us has been recorded by someone living in our future. To usit has not been written so fate does not apply to us, but just the same theancient Jedi cannot help us.”

Sargonsaw that the arrivals were confused. “At times it is confusing to all of us. Wejust come to accept it, even if we do not fully understand it.”

Emilyfinally said, “It makes perfect sense. Let's say that I will make a big mistakethat I could have avoided if I was more careful. Having someone come to me, andcorrect me before I make that mistake will destroy my personal freedom. Thereason for fighting the Emperor in the first place is to protect the privacyand freedom of all.”

Sargonwas amazed of this young Jedi thinking, and what she said. “For what you havesaid here today, I hereby declare you and Ben are full Jedi Knights. I alsodeclare that Jack O'Neill a full Jedi Knight. You three will now be calledMaster Jedi. Sam, I will let you tell Jack the great news.”

“Beforeyou two represent us Akkadians to your world, I would love for you six to beour dinner guest. There is one thing that I do not like to do is to go on adiplomatic meeting with an empty stomach.”

Everyonelaughed.

“Thisdinner will be in the honor of you three becoming Master Jedi.”

Brandonlooked at his niece and nephew in silence with a very large smile on his face.When the two of them looked at their Uncle, they both gave him a full Jedi bow.

Emilysaid, “Even though Yoda and Jolinar enabled us to have the use of the Force, itwas your training us that allowed us to be Master Jedi.” The two of them gave their uncle a big hug,and their thanks.

Thedinner was indeed celebrated in Master Jedi Emily and Master Jedi Ben Aaron'shonor. Every Akkadian cheered for themboth as well as for Jack which was not at the dinner celebration.

Thecelebration went on for hours. When it was finally over, the now five MasterJedi met at the Stargate with Sargon. Sam gave Emily and Ben a personal congratulation, and a big hug for eachof them. Sam said to them both, “I amvery happy to have been able to meet your uncle so this day could have beenpossible.”

Nomialso gave her personal congratulations to the two new Master Jedi. Emily said to Nomi, “I cannot wait for youand my uncle to get married so that you can be an official part of our family.As far as I am concerned you are part of our family like Sam is to us.”

Bencompletely agreed on what his sister has just said. The three of them departedthrough the Stargate to the SGC on Earth.

Nowthat Nar is in command, his first duty was to give rooms to the remainingguest. “Please let me give you the bestVIP rooms that we have to offer.

Samreplied to his offer, “That would be great. We will need the rest. I am surethat we will be very busy tomorrow.”

Narcommitted, “There is a great deal to show and tell you. When this battle withthe Emperor's new army does arrive, it will be a very hard and nasty battle.Like Sargon said, ‘we have been watching you all very closely.' We also believethat Master Jedi Nomi Sunrider and Master Jedi Brandon Bowers have the biggestpart in defeating the Emperor.”

Nar thenlooked at Nomi and Brandon and continued, “Even though I will show and tell youall, you are not to be a part of the major battle. Your jobs will be toconfront the Emperor himself, and destroy him directly. Master Jedi Emily andBen Aaron as well as Master Sam and Jack O'Neill will accompany you, but itwill be up to you two only to confront the Emperor.”

Brandonreplied, “It is settled. The four of them will be guarding our backs while Nomiand I take down the Emperor.”

Samnodded in agreement.

**********

WhenMaster Emily and Ben Aaron arrived with Sargon, they were greeted by Christiand Chip. Emily and Ben gave theirparents a hug.

Benannounced Master Sargon to everyone. After everyone knew that Sargon was aJedi, it was Sargon that announced the new titles for Emily and Ben as well asfor Jack O'Neill. He also told them what Emily has said right before theybecame Master Jedi Knights. Everyone was ever so happy for the three of them.

Rightthen Master Vodo walked in on them. Whenhe saw Sargon, Master Vodo said, “I thought I smelled a smelly Akkadian in thisplace.”

MasterVodo smiled and greeted his Akkadian friend warmly. After the pleasantries betweenthem it was Sargon that grumbled. Heasked, “Vodo you old goat. Why did you not tell Nomi Sunrider that we werethere in your time on Ambria? You know that the time line cannot be changed byanyone.”

MasterVodo answered, “At that time we simple did not know Nomi Sunrider. NeitherMaster Thon nor myself did not think of mentioning it to her.”

Sargonreplied, “I guess that excuse will have to do, but you are still and old goat.”They both laughed.

Beforethey all departed Sargon introduced Emily and Ben as Master Jedi. Master Vodo congratulated them both.

Bensaid, “Please do not tell Jack. Sam wants to do it herself. They should bearriving here shortly with the Akkadian army.”

GeneralDavis said, “We will have this place ready for them when they arrive. I gotJack back to the City of the Jedi. I will make sure that he stays there untilSam and the others come back. In fact it is about time for SG3 team to be sentover there. If Master Vodo could do the honor in using the Force to enable theSG3 team to go there, I will have the SG3 team keep Jack too busy for him toeven think about coming to the SGC.”

Whenthe SG3 team arrived, General Davis gave them additional orders in dealing withJack. After that, Master Vodosent them to their destination.

When theSG3 team arrived, they did not tell anyone about Emily and Ben's promotion.They did not want Jack to find out about it. They had to keep it a secret evenfrom the family of Emily and Ben.

When theleader of the SG3 team found Jack, he was starting to get bored. Colonel JamesWade saw this, and used his tack to get Jack into doing something.

Eventhough Jack has been retired from service for several years, he will always bea military officer. Jack knew that he was a Jedi and always will be, but hisfirst love is the military, especially the Air Force.

WhenColonel Wade offered him a chance to be a part of the Air Force once again, hetook it with open arms. Colonel Wade got Jack to be in charge of the entiresecurity over the Jedi city. Jack had coordinated this type of thing all thetime when he was a Colonel with the SGC. Jack asked Colonel Wade for a reportfrom every unit of the security team.

WhileJack has been kept busy, Master Sargon wanted to talk with the people of Earthabout what the Akkadians have found out about the Emperor's army, and what theyare doing about it.

Afterhearing Master Jedi Sargon tell his story to everyone at the SGC, General Davisimmediately took his comlink out, and tried to contact Princess Leia. When she replied on her end, General Davistold everything that Master Jedi Sargon said. He also told her about thepromotions of Emily, Ben, and Jack.

Leiasaid, “I will be there at the SGC as quickly so I can to congratulate thosetwo. I take it that Sam is going to tell Jack thisherself?”

GeneralDavis replied, “Yes she does. I got him busy in dealing with the security ofthe Jedi city.” Before turning off her comlink she said, “I will contact thePresident myself on this matter. It about time I contact him anyhow. I will seeyou all then.”

GeneralDavis asked Master Sargon, “How big is your army at this time?”

Sargonanswered, “It is nearly 7,000 troops that are all Jedi Knights. In fact allAkkadians are Jedi Knights. We are more than ready to fight this army that theEmperor has been developing. With the help of the Asgards, Jedi Knights here onEarth, and everyone else, we will defeat this army. Let it be known, it will bea bloody fight. From what us Akkadians has found out about this army of theEmperor, they are designed to fight the Jedi. This means they will fight hardand to the death.”

GeneralDavis replied, “So will we. We fought hard with these Goa'uld before, and wecan fight hard with anything that the Emperor throws at us. The Jedi Knightshas done so much for Earth already. Everyone on Earth will not do anythingless. We owe them our lives. If this army takes more than half of thepopulation of Earth with them during this battle, we will continue to fightuntil this army of the Emperor’s is no more. Life has been going on this planetfor a great many years. I strongly believe that life will thrive many moreyears to come.”

**********

It wasmorning on the planet, Maram-Sin, were Sam, Dentralla, Nomi, and Brandon wereon. They got cleaned up, dressed withclean clothes that Nar provided for them. They met Nar where he said he wouldbe.

Narsmiled at them and asked, “Did you all sleep well?

Nomismiled, “Yes we did, thank you.”

“Let megive you a tour of the place and our military forces. As they were walking, Nartalked with them about all they have founded out about the Emperor's army, andwhat they have been planning for it.

Samreplied, “Earth is ready to fight this army with your help. Do you know if theEmperor knows about your plans and army?”

“We toohave been shielding our plans. Even though we saw through the Emperor's securityblanket over his army, we do not think that the Emperor even knows that weexist less alone our giant army. You did not even know about us until Nomi andBrandon found out we existed.”

Brandonsaid, “Talking about that library, why were Nomi and I able to find the librarywith no time at all, and Mara Jade Skywalker and her team did not know it existed?”

“The Jedilibrary is for Jedi only.”

Samasked, “Then Daniel is a Jedi?”

Narsmiled, “Yes and no. He has the gift of finding information with great skillsand performance. If it was not for Doctor Daniel Jackson, none of you Jedi willbe able to be here with us. I cannot state that if Daniel is this ArchaeologistJedi that all of you have called him, but if that is the case, then I can saythat he is an Archaeologist Jedi.”

Nomiasked, “What information will the others find at your Jedi library?”

Naranswered her with great enthusiasm. They have and will find a great deal aboutthe ancient Jedi. Our library has the most important knowledge of the ancientJedi. That is why we think that the Emperor does not know that we exist. If heknew about that library, the Jedi of today will be in more danger than they arein now.”

“Tocontinue to answer your question Master Jedi Brandon, Mara Jade Skywalker was aJedi, but the others were not. When you and Master Jedi Nomi came through theStargate to the same location, we did not hide the library from you. We simplyused the Force to guide you to the library.”

“We knewthat it was time for us to reveal ourselves to Earth and all the Jedi. Since weare ready militarily, all of us can now plan our final steps in destroying theEmperor once and for all.”

Samcommitted, “From what you have told us about Enki's cloning during that battleEarth and the Asgards had with them, Jack will not be happy about it.”

Narreplied, “Neither were we when we found out about it. Maybe this time Jackhimself will eliminate Enki.”

Samsmiled, “That would make him very happy. I would not mind watching it myself.When we were the SG1, we had major problems with him when he was Apophis. Itwould be great to see him down for good.”

Narcontinued with the tour, and gave more information about the Akkadian'sstrategies in dealing with the Emperor's army with fewer casualties. Nareven told them about the history of the ancientJedi that the others have learned from the library. This information was indeedvery important.

There areother things that are waiting to be found by our six Jedi. Before they can dothis they must use all their power of the Force to finally defeat the Emperoror all will be lost including the Jedi's past.

Chapter 16: Love and Honor

2006-09-12T18:32:00.000-07:00

Chapter 16: Love and Honor

Everyone hadgathered to the SGC that was going to the city of the Jedi that was far, faraway in Earth's past. All the equipmentwas already sent that was going to be used for security measures for the city'soccupants. Nomi and Brandon went a longwith them. Brandon wanted to be with his family to help them settle in a newplace in time. It is one thing moving to a different galaxy, but to move to atotally different time is not an easy concept to come to terms with.

Brandon knewthat everyone on Earth was used to traveling to other planets, but no one onEarth had ever traveled through time, other than SG1. When they all saw Eunice with the coffin ofher husband, everyone was quiet. It wasNomi that quietly and gently walked to Eunice, and said ever so graciously, “Iam very happy that he is able to come with us.”

Eunice didnot say anything for a few minutes. “I know that he would be very proud of allof you of what you all have done for Earth to this day.”

Nomi replied,“From what I know of all of you, it would have been an honor to have known him.It would make me very happy if you could one day tell me all about him. I wouldlove for you to tell me about him.”

Eunice smiledas she looked at Nomi, “Once we get him in his new home, I will tell you allthat I can before you have to leave.”

Leia came upto Nomi and Brandon, “Luke has told me that we will stay there until all theSith artifacts are read and understood. Mara strongly believes that theseartifacts can help us defeat the Emperor once and for all.”

Nomi askedLeia, “How long will it take?”

Luke said,“Not long. Hopefully it will give everyone time for all to settle in their newhome.

Luke thenlooked at Eunice, “If you are ready to depart, then all of you can betransported to the great city of the Jedi.”

Eunice lookedat her husband's coffin for a few seconds. It seemed to her as aneternity. She then looked at Nomi thenLuke. “We are ready. Nomi gave Eunice a gentle squeeze on the shoulders andthen smiled at Eunice.

When theyarrived, the first thing they did was bury Lynn H. Blair to his final restingplace. The place was already prepared. Since he was in the Navy, he got fullNaval Honored burial reception. All family members were there.

It was Luke andGeneral Davis that gave Eunice the new perfect folded United States of AmericaFlag. Since this was the great city of the Jedi, it was fitting for Luke torepresent all Jedi Knights on Eunice's behalf. It was General Davis thatrepresented the SGC and Earth on the behalf of Eunice.

For Eunice tohave to go through another funeral was not easy. The first one was hard, but asecond time was even harder. A lot of the same emotions that Eunice wentthrough before were coming to life once again. This time Eunice has supportfrom all of her family and her Jedi family.

Master Thontold her, “As long as I am alive, you will never be alone in your life. I havelost many of my friends through death. Some of them meant to me as much as yourhusband meant to you. I will use all the power I can from the Force to help youthrough this. It is highly honorable of what you have done for Lynn H. Blairtoday. I know that it is equally harder for you to have to go through havinghim buried again.” All Eunice could dowas to give Master Thon a long loving hug.

After a week,Eunice's daughters with their families left for Earth in the 21st Century. Aftereveryone left except for the family members that were staying, Barbara went toher mother and asked, “How are you feeling mother?”

Euniceanswered, “I am okay. With Master Thon's help as well and the other Jedi, I amover the hurt of my first lost with you father. I can say this with clarity, ‘Ido not want to go through that again.'”

Barbarasmiled at her, “Daddy is here to stay. If he knew what has been happening thesepast several years, he would have wanted to stay here. I do not think that thisgreat city of the Jedi will ever be hidden from anyone again. It is now aliveand ready to be part of life itself. Since this city has been awakened, Ibelieve that our six Jedi will have a lot of adventures to come once thisEmperor is dethroned.”

While Nomiand Brandon were alone elsewhere in the city, everyone was making secret planson designing the wedding for those two. As they were trying to decide on the best place to have the wedding,Eunice and Barbara walked in on the conversation. Eunice gave them a suggestion, “I know thatLynn would love to see those two marry. Why not have the wedding near the gravesite.” They all looked at Eunice withgreat amazement.

It was MasterThon that finally said, “You have shown us great love and honor here. Your soulis what the Jedi Order is all about. Not only will the wedding take place asyou have suggested, but I hereby declare you are a Jedi Knight. Being a Jedi isnot controlling the Force, but ability to have love and honor as you have shownus all. I here by name you, Master Jedi Eunice M. Blair.”

**********

As the twolove birds were alone Nomi said, “That was a great funeral for your grandfather.”

Brandonturned his head away, and appeared distant toward what she said. Nomi gentlygrabbed her lover's chin, and gently turned his face towards hers.

When he waslooking right at her, she smiled. “Tell me your thoughts my love.”

Brandonsmiled at her, “I was just remembering him. I have had a great childhood becauseof him.” Brandon told Nomi all of whathe could remember of the time he spent with his grandfather.

After hearingall what Brandon said, “I wished that I could have been there with you. Itwould have been great to have spent time with him as all of you have done.”

Brandonreplied, “It was Nomi. He was great!” Asthey continued to walk, Nomi cuddled up to the man she loved. “Brandon the moreI know of your great family, the more I love you. It you that I love no matterwhat, but to know about your family has enhanced my love towards you. Yourfamily has reminded me why I love you in the first place.”

“I love youbecause of your character, and everything about you. Your family is simply oneof those aspects that make up your entire self. I wished that we could getmarried now, but I want your family to see us get married in the best weddingthat they can come up with. I know that before they can give us that wedding,we must eliminate the Emperor once and for all.”

“I alsobelieve that with our special abilities of the Force that we might be the onlytwo that can finally do that. Due to that my love, I want you to promise me onething. If I should die by the Emperor's hand, I want you to end your happinesswith me. I want you to find another.”

Seeing thatBrandon was taken aback by what she said, Nomi smiled at him, and gave him apassionate kiss.

“I am sorryto have upset you so. You are my ever most heart beat. If you were the one todie by the Emperor's hand instead of me, I too would be very sad over losingyou. As time went by, I know that you would want me to be happy. As I have lostmy first love, I know how sad it is to lose the one you love. I also know that he would want me to findanother. I have done that with you. Because I have found another, you can dothe same thing.”

She gaveBrandon another smile, and another passionate kiss. This time the kiss was muchlonger.

It wasBrandon that spoke afterwards. “I will do everything in my abilities of theForce to keep you safe at all times no matter what the danger.”

Nomi replied,“I too will make that same vow for you my dear sweet love.”

**********

In the 21stCentury, Luke and Mara was working very hard on reading and learning all theycould from the Sith Artifacts.

Mara said infrustration, “We have read a great deal, and we are not any closer to findingout how we can use these artifacts against the Emperor!”

Luke repliedcalmly, “We might need to have Daniel look at these. I cannot understand how hecan easily find out things so quickly and so accurately.

“We need totest him to see if he is some kind of Jedi.”

Luke smiled,“Never know, he could be an Archaeologist Jedi.”

Master Vodowas also studying the artifacts with them. “What I have heard from the firstStargate SG-1 team, I believe that they are all Jedi of some form or another,including Teal'c. How can the four of them do all that they have done, and livethrough it? That boggles my imagination.I know about war and combat throughout my years, and I can tell you that aparty of twenty could not have lived through what they have dealt with.

General Daviscame in the room where the three of them were. He asked, “How are thingsgoing?”

Lukeanswered, “We have read a great deal General, but we need to read a great dealmore. We were talking about getting Daniel in here to help us.”

General Davisasked, “I thought only Jedi could read the Sith language?”

Lukeanswered, “Only Jedi can read the ancient writings, but for some reason Danielis able not only read them, but all the materials in the great city of theJedi.”

General Davisthought for a moment. “Since no communications work through Stargate indifferent time periods, or at least this many years distance, I think that youshould go to him yourself.”

Luke replied,“In that case with your permission, I should leave at once. We need to get thistranslated correctly, and as soon as we can. We think that Daniel is our onlyhope.” Luke immediately walked to theStargate, and used the Force as the ancient Jedi did to travel in time. When hegot there, he was greeted by Sam.

She smiledand said, “It is good to see you. I was about to go through the Stargate, andtell you the great news.” Sam told Lukeabout what Eunice said and what Master Thon did for her.

Luke smiled,“From what I have been told about the first Jedi Knights using the Force issecondary to what lies in the mind and soul of a Jedi. She is truly a trueJedi. In all the training new Jedi goes through in become a full Jedi, they cannever become a true Jedi until they understand what a Jedi is about. We muststart training all Jedi from this day forward on what Master Jedi Eunice M.Blair has done today. This day will not be forgotten for the Jedi. Master JediEunice M. Blair will not be forgotten.

As the two ofthem walked to where the others were located, Luke told Sam why he came here inthe first place.

Sam replied,“Daniel being a so called Archaeologist Jedi would not surprise me one bit.During our time in the SGC, he would find things that I have never seen anyonedo ever. He is either this special Jedi, or he just has the gift in finding outthings like no other.”

When theyfinally arrived where the others were, Luke greeted Master Jedi Eunice M. Blairwith great Jedi honor. “I am not one bitsurprised about hearing this, but I am very honored that you are now a part ofthe Jedi Order.”

Luke lookedat Master Thon and said, “I have just told Sam that we should be teaching thistype of Jedi Honor to all Jedi from this time forward.”

“Indeed weshould! Being a Jedi is not just using the Force, and having the skills of alightsaber, but having the right state of mind.”

After Luketold everyone why he came here in the first place, Nomi and Brandon walked in.

Brandon said,“Hello Luke. This is a welcome surprise to see you here. What do you think ofthis city of the Jedi?”

“I have justarrived, and have not yet visited this city.”

Nomi askedLuke, “How are the translations doing on those artifacts?”

“That is whyI am here. I am here to collect Daniel in helping us to do that.”

Master Thoncommitted as he looked at Nomi and Brandon, “I strongly believe that you twoare our only hope in the final steps in defeating the Emperor. I think that youtwo should go along and help with the translation on those artifacts. Beforethe four of you depart to the 21st, I want to introduce a new member of theJedi Order. Let me introduce you to Master Jedi Eunice M. Blair.”

Both Nomi andBrandon were wide eyed with excitement. They congratulated her.

After thecongratulations, they both looked at Master Thon and asked, “How?”

It was thenthat Master Thon gave a hardy laugh. Hefinally said, “By now if not all along you knew that we are planning a bigwedding for you two.”

Both Nomi andBrandon showed an overly emotional surprised look on their faces. Nomi said,“The mere thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the merest possibilityof crossing our mines.”

Master Thonsmiled, “If you expect us to believe that, then Hutts can fly.”

Nomi Sunriderreplied, “I have just been in the 21st Century for just a little time. I didnot realize that they could do that.”

Everyonelaughed.

Master Thoncontinued, “After Master Eunice M. Blair made a suggestion on where yourwedding should be performed, it was then that enabled her to become a MasterJedi. She suggested that your wedding should be performed near Lynn H. Blair'sgrave site.”

Both Nomi andBrandon looked at Eunice with a very giant smile on their faces. They both gaveher a great big hug to go with it.

Nomi said,“We would be honored to have our wedding there. You are indeed a true Jedi,thank you.”

Master JediEunice M. Blair said to Master Thon, “I think that we need to shoo these two ifwe are going to have this wedding. I am not getting any younger, and theEmperor is not invited, so if these artifacts are the key to keeping him out ofthis wedding then, all these artifacts needs to be translated.”

Master Thonreplied, “Well said. I do not want to see any of you two here until the wedding.”Before the four of them left, they again congratulated Eunice on her promotion.

As they werewalking to the Stargate, Brandon said, “Come to think of it, I am not a bitsurprised of my grandmother's promotion. She has shown me great love and honorthroughout my life. I strongly believe that it is her attitude that allowed meto become a Jedi in the first place. From what she has taught me through theyears, it made me who I am today.”

Luke replied,“When I got to know her, I knew that it was her that allowed you to become aJedi. In that, I believe that only you could have destroyed that Death Star. Ialso believe that the love that you and Nomi share with each other will allowyou to defeat the Emperor once and for all.”

When they allarrived at the SGC, Luke told everyone about Eunice.

Master Vodostated, “I was about to talk with the Jedi Council, I will tell them about her,and to have the Jedi training add this kind of attitude. Indeed this is what aJedi is all about. Without this type of thinking a Jedi cannot really use theForce to its full potential.”

“Master JediBrandon Bowers, I too agree with Luke's assessment on her influence on you thatled you to become a Jedi. I also strongly believe that it will be up to you andNomi that will finally eliminate the Emperor. Master Thon and I have beentalking over this for a long time. The two of us cannot come up with what thisfeat is, but we both agree that it will be you two alone.”

“Maybe youtwo need to meditate on the Force before you even get started on helping withthe artifacts. Bodo Bass might give you two more insight on what you two needto be focusing on.”

Brandonlooked at Nomi then back at Master Vodo. “That is a great idea.”

After a shorttime in meditation, Bodo Bass came to them. He said, “Master Jedi Brandon Bowers I want to first congratulate you on yourgrandmother becoming a Master Jedi. She is indeed the true meaning of a Jedi.We were Jedi Knights long before we made that machine which everyone now knowsas the Force. A true Jedi represents true love and honor.”

“Fromthat manifestation were we able to build this machine which became the Force.The Force is more than just an energy field of life and everything around us.It is the results of Jedi credo. The Force came to be as it is today because oflove and honor.”

“MasterJedi Eunice M. Blair has demonstrated the same Jedi credo. She not only did so for your wedding, butthroughout her life. It is that as everyone has stated, ‘It is her love thathas taught you to become who you are today, even a Jedi.'”

“MasterBrandon your task in becoming a Jedi has not stopped since the destruction ofthe Death Star. In fact with the love that you and Master Nomi share will bringyou to the final demise of the Emperor.”

Brandonreplied, “That is why we both have come to you now. Master Vodo suggested to usthat we should contact you and find out what we need to focus on in order to fulfillthat task.”

“Inthat I will tell you what you need to know at this time. I can only tell you somuch. The rest will be up to both of you to decide.”

“Thereare a great deal more artifacts, and other information to be found. You willneed to start where Mara Jade Skywalker found the Sith Artifacts. When you getthere, be careful. You are walking on Dark Force grounds. The place has notbeen occupied for many, many years, but the Dark-side is still there. I do notknow of what dangers you will face. “Ifthe Emperor finds out that you are there, you will indeed face great deal ofdangers.”

Brandonsaid, “If this task is meant for us, we have no fear in completing it. We havemade our vows in protecting one another from any danger. We also have vowed toeach other that if one of us does gets killed, the other will go forward indefeating the Emperor.”

“Knowthis! If nothing else, love is a very powerful ally. It is even stronger thanthe Force itself. No matter what you will be up against hold fast to the lovethat you have for each other. You both will survive your ordeals.”

“Nothingis certain in life. All I can tell you that I strongly believe that you twowill somehow survive, and become an inspiration as you grandmother has for youMaster Brandon. Master Jedi Eunice M. Blair will be remembered as a Jedithroughout time as you two will become.”

“BeforeI take leave of both of you, remember to constantly hold fast the love you bothhave for each other. At times it will be difficult. Even though love is a verypowerful ally, it is not without it challenges. Now go quickly to yourappointed task.”

After theirmeditation was over with, they came ever so close to one another. They kissedand caressed each other for a very long time. To them time had no meaning.Their love that had for each other was the only thing that mattered.

**********

While the twoJedi Masters were communicating with Bodo Bass, Daniel spent time reading thewritings on the Sith Artifacts. Unfortunately he came up with the same thingthat every Jedi that had studied them.

Daniel said,“It looks like we need to find more artifacts. What we have is a great deal,but what we have is just pieces of a very large jigsaw puzzle. We need to findmore pieces. The seven of us had learned that the ancient Jedi had encrypted informationin order to keep it from the Dark Jedi. It is possible the ancient Jedi got ahold of these artifacts to help us defeat the Emperor.”

Mara said,“If that is the case, that is the first time I heard of any Jedi using any Sithproperty to use against them.”

Danielreplied, “It would make since that it was buried for you to find. I do notthink that anyone from the Dark-side would have hidden these artifacts.”

Master Vodostated, “That is an interesting idea you have. We will have to see what Nomiand Brandon finds out from Bodo Bass.

Luke said,“You have been through this a good long time. You need to take a break.” Whenthose two love birds finish with Bodo Bass, we will come for you.”

It was a timebefore those two did come back to reveal to everyone else of what they learned.They looked as happy like two teenagers in love as they entered the room.

Trying tohold back a wide smile, Master Vodo asked, “What have you found out from BodoBass?”

Nomianswered, “Master Vodo you were right. We were given a task from Bodo Bass. Hetold us that we are to find more Sith Artifacts.”

Brandonstated, “Bodo Bass has told us that the love we have for each other is strongerthan the Force itself.”

It was thenthat Master Vodo gave out that wide smile that he was trying to hold back.“That is why you to took so long before coming out?”

Nomi smiledback and Master Vodo, “You know we would not do anything like that before wewere married, but yes that was the reason for us taking so long as you put it.”

Nomi andBrandon looked at each other. It seemed like no time passed.

It was MaraJade that rudely interrupted the mind link between them.

They lookedat Mara Jade and smiled.

Nomi asked,“How long was it this time?”

Mara Jadesmiled, “You still hold your old record, but this is not the time for breakingrecords.”

Nomi smiled,“Record breaker pooper.”

Mara gave hera smile almost as big as Master Vodo smile. “If you break the Emperor, then youwill have a record to hold for all time.”

Brandonreplied, “If you will have them dial the chevrons to where you found these SithArtifacts, we will do just that.”

The chevronswere dialed.

Mara Jadegave them a big hug, and told them to be very careful. “I know what theDark-side can do. The love that you have for each other will protect you, butnever let your guard down one bit.”

They told herthat they will be careful, and they will return safely.

Chapter 15: What the Past Has in Store for the Future

2006-09-12T18:30:00.000-07:00

Chapter 15: What the PastHas in Store for the Future

The JediKnights and Doctor Daniel Jackson have been in training for four years now inthe Jedi City. The seven of them have also learned a great deal of informationfrom the Jedi Library. The biggest find was not from any written material, butfrom the stars above.

One nightwhile Jack was looking at the stars, he realized that the stars were the key,or at least one of the key means that the Ancient Jedi Knights traveled intime. Jack had to use the Force to connect all the information so that he couldexplain it to everyone else.

Everyoneknew that the constellations were the same in this time as they were in the 21^stCentury. Jack thought they had to be some kind of focal point to travel intime. He knew that the stars in the constellations from time to time shift.Jack being an amateur astronomer realized everything in the universemoved. Like baking a loaf of bread, theuniverse was constantly expanding.

When heused the Force to fill in the missing information, he had the complete knowledgeon how to get back to Earth in the 21st Century. A big smile came to him after he opened hiseyes.

On theother side of the city where Jack was located, Brandon was talking to Emily andBen. “I am very proud of your growth in your training to become Jedi Knights.You both have learned a great deal these past four years. One day I will behonored to call you full Jedi Knights.”

Emilyreplied, “We both cannot wait. For now I am very happy for Jack. It has beentwo years now that he finally gotten over the ordeal of what has happen to hisson so long ago.”

Bensaid, “If that is the only reward that we will ever receive in becoming fullJedi Knight, then we will accept it.”

Nomismiled, “We have been blessed to see him have that part of his life put in thehistory books. I do not think that he could have done it without you two. Yourlove and support has done more than the Force could ever do alone. Love is apowerful ally.”

They didnot have to use the Force to note that their uncle and Nomi wanted to be alone.They gave each of them a hug, and left them to spend time with each other,alone.

For a shorttime they just held hands and walked quietly. “I can see that you are little depressed about something. What are youthinking?”

Brandonsighed, “I am just a little home sick. It helps to be here on Earth. It is thefamily that I miss now.”

Nomi smiledand gave Brandon a loving hug. “I would love to meet all of them. From what Iknow of you, Emily, and Ben, I know that they are very special people.”

“I wonderhow they are doing after these four years.”

Nomi smiled, “You forgot to add a few billion years to that.”

Just then Brandon's comlink went off. Brandongrabbed it off his belt, and turned it on. “What can we do for you Sam?”

Samreplied, “The both of you are going to have to come to the library to find thatout. Jack is persistent that he will not say one word until we are alltogether.”

Nomijokingly asked, “Jack did not find a new way to make Jell-O again?”

Samlaughed “I do not think so. I do not believe that there can be any other waythese replicators can do that.”

BeforeBrandon turned off his comlink, he said, “We will be right there.” The two of them took off to the library, andwondering what was so important. Whenthey got there, they saw Jack with a large smile, “With the stars in the sky,and the use of the Force, I have found the means of getting us home.”

**********

SinceMaster Thon was the size and build of a Protoceratops, he was able to carryEunice on his back. He asked her, “Howare you feeling up there?”

“I amdoing alright, thank you. I am happy that all the Braves team invited you toone of their home games.”

“I toldthem that I would come under one condition. I wanted you to come with me sinceyou like watching them as much as I have.”

“Before Ido one day die, I hope that Brandon and the others can finally get rid of thisEmperor once and for all.”

MasterThon made a few grumbling noises and replied, “So do I Eunice.” They finally got to the ball game.

ToMaster Thon's surprise the team got him to pitch the ball to start the game.Master Thon could have picked up the ball and threw it, but since he was aMaster Jedi Knight, he decided to present the game with a different element,the Force. He used the Force to raisethe ball in the air, and projected it to the catcher. When the catcher caughtit, the crowd cheered. Master Thonreassured everyone that he would not use the Force to interfere with the game.

Afterthat was said and done, Master Thon went to Eunice's side to watch the game. Beforethe Braves invited Master Thon and Eunice to a free game, they made a specialplace for them due to Master Thon's size and all. They had the luxury ofsitting in the Braves' dugout with the rest of the players.

This wassuggested by Master Thon himself. He wanted to give a very special gift to Eunice.From the smile on her face, she indeed enjoyed the gift.

Aspromised, Master Thon did not interfere with the game. In fact, he did not haveto help. The Braves won the game 8 – 3 against the New York Jets.

Beforethe two left, the Braves team gave them both mementos. They gave them both asigned baseball and bat. They gave Eunice an autograph Braves tee-shirt.

When theywere alone, Eunice thanked Master Thon for what he did for her.

“Itwas my pleasure. You just take a rest on me while I take both of us home.”

**********

Luke andMira Jade Skywalker was with the SGC in helping them find what they can on the Ubaids.Luke was with the SG1 and Mira was with SG4.

The otherJedi Knights were on their own means on tracking these escaped Ubaids from theattack that was done on them less than four years ago.

Luke andthe SG1 team came across something very interesting. Since Luke was the leaderof this expedition, they showed him what was founded.

It was acomputer pad device. After using the Force to break through the security codes,Luke found a great deal of information in it.

Afterreading through it, Luke said, “We need to get back to the SGC at once. The Captainordered all the SG1 team to gather everything back to Earth.

Mara JadeSkywalker and the SG4 team also found something even more interesting. They found old Sith artifacts in an oldunderground cave on a distant planet. Mara also found many manuscripts in asecret chamber. After going over them all, Mara ordered the leading commanderto have everyone grab what they can back to the SGC. She also advised them tobe careful in how they are handled. “Since these are Sith artifacts, there is no telling what will happen ifthey are mishandled.” She replied

Theyall got the artifacts to the SGC without any problems. They also got therebefore Luke and the SG1 team arrived. Itwas Mara that greeted Luke when SG1 arrived at the SGC. She told him what theyfound.

Lukesaid, “With what you found, and what is on this computer pad, we will be ableto finally put the Emperor out of the way forever.

AsMara walked with Luke to the where the Sith artifacts were kept, she lookedover what was on the computer pad. “Wow!This is interesting information. After detailed study, the only thing theycould do was to wait until Daniel and the others arrive. We indeed have a lotto tell them.”

**********

Afterallowing everyone to settle down from their excitement, Jack explainedfully. “While I was thinking as I waslooking at the stars in the sky, an idea came to me. Since the constellationsare used to map out the Stargate travel, they had to be used to travel intime.”

Danielasked, “What gave you that idea?”

“The sameway we can predict the constellations location in our time. The Ancient JediKnights were able to map out the constellations not only for the future, butthe past. With the technology of the Asgards, they were able to use theirmapping technique to travel to the past or the future. Once I figured that muchout, I had to use the Force to filling the missing information on how that wasdone. We can do it now to get home.”

Samsmiled at Jack and asked, “What are we waiting for?”

Jack gaveout a little frown.

Brandonasked, “What is the problem?”

Jackanswered, “In order to keep the Ubaids from time traveling, the Jedi of thistime hid these devices separate throughout the city.”

Nomismiled, “You would not know where these items are located?”

Danielsaid, “I think I do.” They all looked at him.

Emilyasked, “How would you know that?”

“I do notthink that these items are not what you might think as artifacts. Think aboutit from the ancient Jedi point of view. Your enemy can use the Dark-side of theForce. That means that they have a similar intelligence as you do. How wouldyou hide something as important as time traveling from enemies like theUbaids?”

Danielwaited for a moment for them to answer. Since no one answered, he did, “You hide them by a special mean. Themeans of time travel in the knowledge that is in these books and the cityitself. Bodo Bass said, “The city of the Jedi has the secrets from within. Whatbetter way to hide this information.”

Samasked, “You said that you think you know. Does that mean that you have thisinformation?”

“Yes, Ihave been reading if for some time now. Until now, I did not realize what itwas saying.”

Danielfrantically looking for the books that had the information he was talkingabout. He found it and handed them to Sam.

Shelooked at them. When she closed the last book she was quiet for a moment. “This information is exactly what we arelooking for, and it does tell how the Ancient Jedi traveled in time. Before we travel back to our time, we bettercontact Thor.”

Samlooked at Nomi. “Since you know how to use a Holocron, in communicating, Ithink that you should contact Thor, or whoever has a Holocron.”

Nomi andBrandon took off to Nomi's apartment where her Holocron was located. Nomi wasable to get in touch with Master Thon with no problem at all. Master Thon said, “I was about to contact youall. Luke, Mara, and the SGC have found some very interesting information.”

“Master,we found a great deal of information here. We will gather all that we can, andbring it with us. We also found a way to travel to the 21^st Century.Sam wanted me to contact you all before we took off. How are things going inthe 21st Century?” Master Thon told thetwo of them what has happen in the past four years.

Brandonasked, “How is everyone doing?”

MasterThon knew what he was asking. “Your family is doing very good. In fact yourgrandmother and I went to a Braves baseball game.” Master Thon told them all about what happenthere. Before signing off, Brandon thanked Master Thon for what he did for hisgrandmother. “Please tell them all thatwe will be arriving shortly.”

Theyall said their farewells, and Nomi and Brandon met up with the others. When Nomi and Brandon got to the largest buildingin the city, they were greeted by their friends at the grown level of thesteps.

Brandonsaid, “Our families are doing great, and Master Thon took grandmother to aBraves game. Master Thon arranged a special gift for her when they got there.They watched the game in the best seat at the stadium. The watched the entiregame in the Braves dugout.”

Benreplied, “Wow! They did get the best seats.”

Nomi toldeveryone what else Master Thon told them.

Sam said,“It looks like everyone has been very busy while we been away. All the booksthat are needed are at the Stargate as well as several other things that willbe important later on.” They all walkedto were the Stargate was located, and they all positioned themselves in thesame place when they all arrived at, four years ago.

Since ittook only one Jedi to operate the Stargate, and the means to travel in time bythe use of the Force, Sam did it herself. They were now traveling through the wormhole and through time and spaceto the SGC in the 21st Century.

When theyall got there, they arrived the same way they did to the Jedi city. This meansthey did not exit by means of a wormhole as with normal gate travel.

Due toMaster Vodo's use of the Force, he knew when they would be arriving. It wasGeneral Davis, Luke, Mara, and Master Vodo that greeted them when they arrivedin the 21^stCentury.

GeneralDavis said, “Welcome back! It is great to see all of you alive and well. I seethat you have brought a lot with you.”

Samtold them that any Jedi can travel back to the City of the Jedi, if anyoneneeds anything more.”

Sheshowed Luke the books that Daniel handed to her. Luke looked at them briefly. “I will look atthese books in more detail, but first I think that all of you need a rest fromyour four year epic before you get back to work.”

Brandonsaid, “Since this is Nomi Sunrider's first trip to Earth in the 21st Century, Iwould like to give her a tour of the SGC. While Nomi and Brandon were touring the place, Luke decided to show therest of them what they found.

Nomisaid, “I cannot wait to see how much different Earth is in the 21st Century.”

Brandonreplied, “It has changed a great deal, but what is more interesting is thedifferent cultures of this planet. To me it is like an art work in itself.Having so many different cultures on one planet is very remarkable.”

As theytoured the SGC, Brandon described every little detail of the place. Nomi just absorbedit like a sponge.

Afterthe long tour of SGC, Nomi and Brandon met up with the others. General Davisasked Nomi, “How did you like the place.”

Sheanswered with a big smile, “It was wonderful. The SGC is amazingly large and complex.I have never seen anything like it.”

MasterVodo committed, “I was also amazed what I saw of this place. For a lesstechnical advanced society then even we were 4.000 years ago, it was indeed awonder to see.”

GeneralDavis smile, “Thank you both for your kind words. I have been with the SGC agreat many years now, and I am impressed by all that the SGC has and what itcan do. Now having a time element added to the Stargate system, I cannot waitto see what else is in store.”

Brandoncommitted, “For right now, all I want to see is my family.”

Marasmiled, “Then let's get you there.”

Everyoneincluding Nomi Sunrider was very happy to see Earth in the 21st Century.

Brandonsaid to her, “Nomi my love, this is Earth in our time.”

Nomi gaveBrandon a big smile, “It looks great!”

When theyall got in the limousine Nomi constantly was looking out the window like achild in a new place. The rest of themwere also looking out the window. They were very happy to be home at last. The limousine arrived at the airport, andstopped near the plane that would take them to Atlanta, Georgia.

When theygot in, Nomi and Brandon found their seats in a secluded area so they can bealone together. The rest of them talked among themselves.

Marasaid, “After we put the Emperor out of our lives for good, it looks like wewill be having another big task on our hands.”

Sam replied,“I know. Those two really love each other.”

Jacksaid, “Why not have Brandon's family set up a wedding for those two in the samecity we came from.”

Sam gavehim a big kiss. She said with a bigsmile, “You are coming up with great ideas.”

Bensaid, “To keep it a surprise, we can say that the Jedi Council thought it bestfor our family safety to be there. Janet and Daniel can go with them so theyspend time together since they have been apart for four years.”

Samreplied, “I will talk with your grandparents privately to have it all arranged.Daniel can talk to Janet. Everyone needs to be careful. Brandon has theinsights of a homing pigeon. I had the hardest time keeping him from know aboutthat surprise that we gave him before Emily told him he was a full Jedi. Now heis a Jedi Master, it will be even harder.”

Emilycommitted, “Nomi is a sharp shooter also.”

Brandonsaid, “I getting very excited in you meeting my parents, and the rest of thefamily. I know that they will be very happy to meet you.”

“I knowthat I will be very happy to meet them as well. My dear love, I cannot wait toget rid of this Emperor once and for all, so that we can get married. I loveyou so much. At first I did not want to leave to come here because I so muchenjoyed being with you at the city of the Jedi. It was just us for the mostpart. For a short time we helped trainedEmily, Ben, and Jack to become Jedi Knights. How well they all have beenprogressing, I cannot wait until the Jedi Council declares all three of them fullJedi.”

Brandonreplied, “To me those three are already full Jedi. When we finally confrontthese Ubaids and the Emperor, I know that they will fully complete their taskwithout a hitch. Then my dear lovely lady, we can get married, and live ourlives as husband and wife.”

AsNomi was looking at the others she asked, “I wonder what they are talkingabout?”

Brandon said,“If I know those Jedi, they are probably discussing a means of giving us asurprise wedding.”

Nomi smiledas she looked at Brandon, “Then we better not spoil their surprise.”

Brandonturned his head and look at Nomi, “I believe you are right. If we even thoughtabout finding out what they are up to, the both of us might be in a body castwhen the wedding takes place.”

Nomi smiled,“If Master Thon and Master Vodo have anything to do about it, you can count onthat. On that note Brandon, you might want to suggest that your parents and therest of your family would be safer where we were the past four years.”

Brandon said,“That is a great idea. Grandmother is getting very old. I think it would besafer for them to stay there until all of this deal with the Emperor isfinished. If she does die there, I cannot see a better place to put her torest.”

For theremaining time on the air plane, Nomi and Brandon just talked about theirfuture lives. It did not take them longto end up kissing passionately. Duringthat time, they were the only ones alive.

After severalhours, the plane landed. The passengers were then taken to the mansion to meetup with the waiting families. GeneralDavis contacted everyone at the mansion once they were in the limousine at theSGC. When everyone from the city of the Jedi got there, everyone was very happyto see each other.

Brandonintroduced Nomi to his parents, and the rest of the family. After the timespent with everyone, Sam did find the time to talk with Jerry, Barbara, andEunice about their plans of a surprise wedding for Nomi and Brandon.

Barbara said,“These few years I have been concerned for my mother's health here during ourconflicts with this Emperor. I will feel more comfortable of having herelsewhere.”

Eunicereplied, “I will too. From how wonderful you all have described the place, itwould be a great place to spend the rest of my life in. I will miss being withMaster Thon though, but I know that it would be better for me to be in a saferplace so that he can do his job in helping all of you defeat this Emperor forgood.”

Sam said,“You are indeed a very special lady. I am very happy to have the privilege ofknowing you.”

Master Thoncame in on them, “Jack told me what you have in store for Nomi andBrandon.” He looked at Eunice and saidto her, “I will miss your company very much. I have enjoyed our time together.From what I have heard of the city of the Jedi, I would not want to keep youfrom living the rest of your life there.”

“There is onething I would ask of you if you plan to be buried there. I ask that I could beburied beside you?”

Eunice said,“I would like that very much.”

Barbara hadan idea. She asked her mother, “If you want daddy to be brought with us, I amsure that can be arranged.”

Sam smiled,“I know that General Davis would be more than happy to have it done.”

Jerry said,“It is settled. While we are staying there, we will have everything ready forNomi and Brandon's wedding.”

Sam smiled,“Do not think you will be the only ones setting up the wedding. Jack and I havetalked about this. Just in case the Emperor finds a way to get to the city ofthe Jedi, we would not want any of you to face his forces alone.”

Barbarareplied jokingly, “We also do not want the wedding decorations to bedestroyed.” They all laughed.

Master Thoncommitted, “If anyone does wreck the wedding, they will have to answer to me.From the start, I knew those two would turn out to be soul mates. I also knewthat they will be the key to putting the Emperor out of commission forever.”

Sam asked,“How is that Master Thon?”

Master Thonanswered, “I am not sure of yet how, but Nomi has already learned from Brandonhow to stop a projectile and reverse it back to the source.”

Sam criedout, “That is right! We have not been together that long. It did not take herthat long to learn it. I would not be amazed one bit if she could use the Forceto run as fast as Brandon can.”

Sam thenturned to look at Jerry and Barbara. “Emily and Ben are also turning out to begreat Jedi. Ever since we been home, I have been having the right mind to talkwith the Jedi Council, and have them both stated as full Jedi as well as Jack.”

Jerry said,“We better go and talk with Christi and Chip about all of this wedding.”

Sam replied,“Emily and Ben are doing that as we speak. After we spend a few days with allof you, we will be heading back to the SGC, and study more on those artifactsthat Luke and Mara found. All of you will be going with us. We can send you tothe city of the Jedi.”

Sam looked atMaster Thon. “I think it would be a good idea for you to go with them on theirfirst visit. Daniel and Janet will also be going to the city. Daniel can domore research at the library. Luke will have the U.S. Military as well as thealliance set up a security arrangement just in case the Emperor can reach thecity of the Jedi.”

Eunice thengave Sam a surprise hug. “Thank you for all that you have done for Brandon andus. Our lives have never been blessed so much since all of you came into ourlives.”

Sam smiled ather, “I can say the same thing for me. I have been honored to have met Brandon,so I could have the opportunity to have met all of you.”

Master Thonreplied, “If it was not for this Emperor, I would have not had the privilege tomeet any of you all. We will do all that we can to protect Earth and itsoccupants no matter the cost. After being here for four years, I can say thatthis world is worth saving.”

Chapter 14: Earth of Yesterday to Earth of Today

Chapter 14: Earth of Yesterday to Earth ofToday

AfterEarth's first battle against the Emperor's plans, everyone on Earth was veryexcited to be a part of it. A great deal believed the same as Thor on that theywere not victorious.

What theywere sure about that they could be victorious. Earth was growing with Jedi allover the place. They knew that they could help defeat the Emperor. Even if theydid not have people becoming Jedi, they knew that Master Jedi Sam O'Neill andMaster Jedi Brandon Bowers were always there for Earth.

They alsoknew that Emily, Ben, and Jack would become great Jedi Knights. Everyone onEarth had nothing to fear. They had everything going for them. They did notknow what will happen with the Emperor's evil plans, but they knew that Earthwill stand strong throughout the storm.

Afterdefeating the Goa'uld and Enki, everyone on Earth was ready to do more. TheJedi and the Asgards did not need to tell everyone on Earth not to give uphope, but they had to tell them that they just could not jump into hyperspaceand simply attack the Emperor or his minions. Everyone in authority was tellingeveryone that they had to know more of the enemy before they could attack andwin.

Atthe mansion, Barbara was talking with Luke. “We have been told that there aremore to being a Jedi then just using the Force, and using a lightsaber. Whatdoes this mean? Could any of us be a Jedi in that case?”

Lukesmiled and answered, “It is a little more complicated than just that. We allhave agreed that it was your training Brandon, as your son, that enabledBrandon to be a Jedi in the first place. You and Jerry taught him disciplineand other great values that all children should learn in the home.”

“What makesa Jedi is more than using the Force. From the beginning of the Jedi Order theydid not have the Force at all. They were Jedi just the same. The Jedi Credo wasthen as it is now is to learn and protect the peace of all living creaturesthroughout the galaxy, and now the universe. What I am trying to say to you Barbara is what makes a Jedi is the stateof mind. One might be born a citizen of a country, but they have to learn howto be a citizen.”

“It ispossible that everyone can be a Jedi without the ability to use the Force atall, but that person must have a very strong character. When we first metBrandon in Atlanta, Georgia, he showed that strong character right from thestart. From what Sam told me one day while they were doing their Jedipresentations, it appeared that he was a Master Jedi a long time before we setfoot on Earth.”

Luke pauseda moment and then asked, “Does that answer your question?”

Barbarasmiled, “It does a little.”

Lukereplied, “Do not try to be anything other than you. We Jedi are very honored byhow you raised your son. You and Jerry do not need any other specialrecognition from us. You are part of theJedi family. You and your family have been doing great services for us as wehave been training new Jedi at the mansion. For that we Jedi will always be inyour debt.”

“Ihave heard from a great many of the Jedi that they loved those hot dogs thatyou husband made a while back. If you can constantly do things like that, thenthere will be nothing that any Jedi would do for you and your family.”

Barbarajust sat there in awe. “The reason fordoing this is that we feel that we are helping Brandon and the others. I do notthink that we could have ever imagined that we had this kind of an impact oneveryone.”

Luke just smiled at her. “Barbara you made an impact alright. Eventhe Asgards has taken noticed. From what General Davis has told me for Thor totalk with you about your Jedi family is something special. The Asgards areindeed very advanced race of people. To take notice of someone less advancedpeople shows that you have done great things. From this moral up lifting thatyou have done for all of us, I am sure that we will be triumphant in this warwith the Emperor.”

**********

TheBowers and the Aarons have indeed made an impact that no one person can fullyrealize. Doing their best for the Jedi trainees and trainers at the mansion,everyone on Earth has been affected by it.

The firsttwo Jedi will always be the main focus of their enthusiasm to fight theEmperor, and his plans. They have recently added a new element. They understandthat a student does not know more than the teacher. In this they have come torealize that Master Jedi Brandon Bowers' parents are the ones that trainedtheir son to be able to become a Master Jedi in the first place.

Whenword have been going out that the Bowers and the Aarons were helping in a verysmall way in the Jedi training in Atlanta, Georgia, the people of Earth saw afuture of having many more Jedi to become as great Jedi as Master Jedi SamO'Neill and Master Jedi Brandon Bowers.

Nearlyeveryone on Earth knew that Earth will not be the same ever again.

Everyoneon Earth will be looking forward to great things to come.

In a wayeveryone on Earth can thank the Emperor for his plans in destroying the JediKnights.

If thethreat on Earth had never come to pass, the people of Earth could not be a partof what is going on right now.

**********

As Lukedeparted from Barbara, he did ponder the thought if Barbara and Jerry could beJedi. It was them that trained Brandon in the first place. He would not be surprised if anyone of themwas declared a Jedi Knight. “Eventhough neither one of them are declared a Jedi Knight, they will always be veryspecial to me and the rest of the Jedi. Leia you are right. I too am glad thatwe have found Brandon when we did. I too wonder what would have happened if wedid not.”

AsLuke was coming up to Leia as she was watching the Jedi trainees, Leia smiledat him. She was watching and hearing what Barbara and Luke was talking aboutthrough the Force.

“Luke, Itoo believe they are special.”

“They areLeia. When I saw that Brandon was accepting what we were telling him, I knewthat we were not dealing with just a person strong in the Force, but a personthat was able to do a great deal more.”

“WhenHan, Chewie and I first met Sam, neither of us saw this in her as we all didwith Brandon. Sam is strong with the Force also, but Brandonhas something special that I do not think he realizes fully.”

Leiacommented, “One day Sam was telling me just that. Sam told me that even thoughBrandon is a Master Jedi, he has more to learn of his potential.”

“Corranand Mara was telling me during his training that Brandon could do a great dealmore them what any Jedi could teach him. I do not think that Brandon has noteven reached half way of what he can do as a Jedi. May be he will be able tolearn this in this Jedi city”

Leiapaused for a moment, “I do not think so, or at least not now. The six of themare there to be able to defeat the Emperor. Brandon may be able to learn someof what he needs to know, but I do believe that he will find more of what hecan do until after the Emperor is out of the way.”

Luke hadto agree with what his sister said. Luke simply gave her a smile.

The twoof them looked at the Jedi trainees that were being trained in the giant yardof the mansion. As they looked they werethinking of those six Jedi in the great city of the Jedi. Luke and Leia realized how much the Bowersand the Aarons had changed their lives.

Theyboth thought as they watched. “It wasmeant to be this way. It was Sam that first came into their lives. It was whenSam brought them to Earth that made everything turned out great for all. Intime the whole universe will not only know of the Jedi and of Earth, but the entireuniverse will be able to know these two families as Luke, Leia and the rest ofthe Jedi have done.”

**********

All theEarthly Jedi has been doing great in their Jedi training. Even the Tok'ra hasbeen very successful in learning the ways of the Force. Sam's father as aTok'ra has been very excited in how well he has been doing. If Sam trained him,his skills of being a Jedi Knight would have been a lot better. Jacob andSelmak both knew fully that she had to be where she is now. Just the same Jacobstill worried over her. He was her father. What are fathers suppose to do.

Even thoughSelmak knew of this, both Jacob and Selmak had endless arguments over hisconstant worrying over her. Even with Selmak comforting Jacob, it still endedup in an argument.”

Due tosharing Jacob's memories, Selmak was very fond of Sam. Selmak was just as concernedabout Sam as was Jacob. Their argument was their way of dealing with their ownfeelings. They both have become more than just a symbiote/host blending. They havebecome ever close friends that no Tok'ra could have ever had with their ownblending.

Jacob andSelmak had a special bonding that neither of them ever could have guessed whenthey first met. It was as if Jacob was meant to be a host to Selmak all along.They both knew they could not have learned so much of the living Force if theywere not together.

Jacob andSelmak has been thinking of how interrelated all that Earth has done with theStargate and the Goa'uld. For the longest the two of them could not understandhow even Earth could have figured out the Stargate itself. It had to besomething else involved. With the recent events that have been happening withEarth and the Jedi, the two of them knew that the SG1 team had to be endowedwith the Force.

With all theother educated individuals that could have been part of SG1, these four werethe ones that were picked. Both Jacob and Selmak believe in everything has areason and a purpose. Things just do not happen. If it was not for Sam being apart of the SG1 team Jacob and Selmak would never have blended as a Tok'ra.When everything was set in motion, things started to build up to what they aretoday.

If Sam neverwas kidnapped in the first place, the Tok'ra would not have been able to learntheir ancient past from Doctor Daniel Jackson. Now every Tok'ra is training tobecome Jedi Knights. All the Tok'ra has been talking among on what will happennext.

They havealso talked about how thankful for the service of Jerry, Barbara, and the Aaronshave given them during their Jedi training. Having these families help themduring their training has help the Tok'ra be more part of Earth. Now sinceeveryone knows of the history of Earth and the Jedi, the Tok'ra has come torealize that they need to be able be part of Earth as much as they can.

The Tok'ra isa big part of the ancient Jedi of Earth so long ago. As things have unfoldedwith the history of the Jedi, the Tok'ra have become very excited on what liesahead for them as they become Jedi once more. The universe might seem to besmall with everything coming together, but after the Emperor is eliminated,things in the universe will be larger than one could ever thought possible.Once the Emperor is put down, the Force can then be balanced.

**********

As Luke andLeia were quietly watching, Master Vodo came up to them.

He said, “Ihave finished talking with the President of the United States. He told me thatthe SGC teams are still finding leads on what the Emperor is up to.”

Leia said,“It would be better to find something that could help us defeat the Emperorthen finding out his plans. If the SGC teams do find anything, it could besomething we are meant to find.”

Luke stated,“She is right. The Emperor is too clever to leave a trail unless he giving us afalse lead.”

Master Vodostated, “That is why I am here. General Davis has asked me to get you to be apart of one of the SGC teams. He has already sent Mara with one of these teams.Since you and Mara have better understanding of the Emperor's activities, thenyou two might be able to find something that could be under the noses of any ofthe SGC teams without them realizing it.”

Luke agreed,and set off for the SGC.

AfterwardsLeia asked Master Vodo, “What can I do to help?”

Master Vodoanswered, “For now the President would like for you to stay with the Bowers andthe Aarons. He told me that you have done a great deal in helping Earth and theJedi. He wants you to take it easy until you are really needed. Right nowEarth's governments and people are doing a grand job.”

Leia smiledand said, “They are indeed. I am very happy for them. I hope it will beenough.”

Master Vodogave a smile of his own, “Leia I know they will be because they are ready now.Earth has more to learn and grow, but they are ready for whatever awaits them.They made it with that Death Star you all had to deal with. Earth has learned agreat deal since then. I strongly believe that they will hold their end.Everyone knows the stakes and, they are still pushing forward. What else isthere for them to be ready for?

“With whatThor has told us about Earth and the history of the Jedi Knights, it has beenoverwhelming for me.”

“From what Iunderstand, a great deal has been resting on your shoulders with getting Earthto understand and believe there is life out in the universe. Now since theyknow that, you should relieve yourself of your completed task.”

“I know thatI have completed my task. What is on my mind are the Bowers and the Aarons. Hanand I have a great attachment for them.”

Master Vodosmiled, “They will be fine. With all of these Tok'ra here being trained asJedi, I do not think any of them will allow anything harm to come to them. Eventhe Asgards are watching after them.”

Leia knewthis to be true. She has had friends before that were guarded, and they havebeen killed. Everyone on her home world was killed by the first Death Star somany years ago.

Leia alsoknew that she was worrying over nothing, and her worrying would not help in anyway to protect her Earthly friends any better. Just the same she simply couldnot stop herself from worrying over their safety.

**********

All of themhad been studying in the library. They have found number of information, butnothing yet that deals with their task at hand, or at least that they are awareof.

What BodoBass did not tell them is that the information will not make since untilcertain events took place. To keep this information from getting into the handsof the Dark-side of the Force, the ancient Jedi had to encrypt vitalinformation in a manner that would be hard to decipher.

The key toget the full meaning of what has been written would come to those that arewilling to use that information for peace and balance throughout the universe.

For the timebeing, all the seven of them think they are learning simple history of the Jedi.It is when certain events take place it will turn what they have read into avaluable knowledge.

All what anyJedi will be learning is not in a book or a scroll. The most information is locatedthroughout time and space.

The AncientJedi set a special fragmentation of their history just in case the Dark-sidefound out about the great city of the Jedi.

How ironic itis for the Jedi of today. What makes a Jedi is knowledge and defense. It is not just using the Force and alightsaber. When Master Jedi BrandonBowers learns more of his full potential of being a Jedi, he will need what hasbeen hidden by the ancient Jedi.

Emily and Benwill learn a great deal of their own about their special abilities of being aJedi. When Earth found the Stargate, it was just the first page of theintroduction of the adventures that lies ahead for them all.

Whatever havebeen known of the Jedi and of the Stargate is elementary compared to whateveryone will learn when Nomi and Brandon finds the map that will lead them tothe other cities of the ancient Jedi.

The pageswill be turning at alarming rate when city by city is explored. First our sixJedi must defeat the Emperor once and for all. This will not be easy for them.They will need a grand army to be able to defeat the Emperor and his party ofthe Dark-side.

**********

As the SGCteams, with the help of Mara and Luke Skywalker, will come across a great manythings that will help them find what they need to know. The ancient Jedi design this information tobe found a little at a time, so Earth and the Jedi of today will be motivatedto fight the Emperor, and completely keep him from ever meddling in the affairsof anyone ever again.

The Jedifailed to deal with the Emperor the first time because the Jedi did not havethe strength to deal with him. WithMaster Jedi Sam O'Neill and Master Jedi Brandon Bowers, and their Jedi Apprentices,the Jedi can now defeat the Emperor.

This does notmean that the task of these six Jedi will be easy. The Emperor will throw allthat he can at these six Jedi. The balance that Anakin Skywalker performed, bydestroying the human form of the Emperor, was not a lasting one.

At the time,no one knew that the Emperor was the Dark-side of the Force. When Luke and Leiarealized that he was cloning himself over and over, they knew that their fatherdid not destroyed him, but only one of his clones. Now knowing a little of theancient Jedi, everyone knows that they have to take care of the Emperor onceand for all.

Chapter 13: Training in the Jedi City

2006-09-12T18:28:00.000-07:00

Chapter13: Training in the Jedi City

As alwaysDaniel was thinking as an Archaeologist. Daniel asked the others, “Earth iswhere it started for the Jedi Knights. What kind of an impact will we put onEarth now that we are here?”

Everyonewas ever so quiet over this concept. They all wanted to say something, butnothing could be said that would make anything meaningful. They surely did notwant to change all they worked hard for in protecting Earth from that DeathStar. They surely did not want to changeall the hard work that so many did throughout their history.

Brandonfinally broke the ice of silence that seemed to last forever. He said, “Bodo Bass told us that he wouldtalk with us more. Since we now know where we are, I think that we should seewhat he has to say on why we are here, and what can we do to keep from changinghistory.”

Benreplied, “WOW! It would be very interesting to hear Bodo Bass say somethingabout the first Jedi City on Earth.”

Danielsaid, “While you are doing that, I will be at the library. Please let me knowwhat he says to all of you.

Danieldeparted, and the six Jedi mediated in the Force. After a short time, Bodo Bass spoke. He was delighted that they foundout they were on Earth. “I knew that youall would realize that you were on Earth. A great deal of the reason for theGoa'uld being on Earth so easily over the years had a great deal to do with thecity of the Jedi that you are all in now.” Bodo Bass waited a bit to allow their excitement to settle before continuing.

“Knowit or not Jack, you were meant to be a part of the Stargate program since yourfirst time to Abydos.Yes Jack, you have been strong with the Force ever since. When the SG1 teamreached the place that had the Ancient knowledge, it was meant for you and youonly.”

“TheAncients put that there for you to start your abilities to become a Jedi. Fromthat point, you are now able to be trained to become a Jedi. This knowledgethat you have received from the Jedi allowed the Asgards to be a part of Earth oncemore. As the Asgard told you that day, 'They have been watching Earth veryclosely.' They were waiting for you to show up so they can fulfill what hasbeen set in motion by the Ancient Jedi”

Afterhearing this Sam asked, “Why have we not seen any of the Jedi from this city?”

“Weall have left the city years ago for the search of the means of expanding ourabilities to learn more. Us Jedi has been here for millions and millions ofcenturies. Once we learned of what the Emperor had done in sacrificing himselfto become the Dark-side of the Force, we came back to this city to decide whatto do. I had to become the Light-side of the Force.”

“Oncethat was done, we could plan a way to keep the Emperor from manifesting ourworld into chaos. We knew that we could not stop him directly, but we didrealize from what we had learned about Earth future, we could defeat theEmperor with the help of the six of you.”

Brandonasked, “It has to be more than just us six and our Force capabilities that willdefeat the Emperor?”

“Youare right. If it was that simple then the entire Jedi of our time could havedone the job that you six are asked of you. At this time, I cannot tell youabout that. You will have to learn about that in its proper time. I am notsaying this to be mysterious. If it was that simple, I would have told you allwhat you need to know on my first encounter with you.”

“Thereason for not telling you this information is that I do not know it. Timereveals all. When it is time for you to learn this, you will know what to dowith what you have. This information might come to you all at once, or you mayhave to search for it over time. Remember we have been keeping this a secretfrom the Dark-side, so they will not be able to know how to get to this city.”

Emilyasked, “I take it that there is more to guard then just this city?”

“Yesthere is a whole lot more at stake then this city. None of you will find thisout in this city alone. The history of the Jedi is scattered throughout timeand space in many Jedi cities.”

Nomiasked, “I take it that there is a map that tells where these cities arelocated?”

“Thereis a map that has the location of all the Jedi cities throughout time andspace.”

BodoBass knew who would be the ones to find this map, but he did not tell them whoit would be. They will find a lot more than just a map of all the Jedi Cities.From what will be found, it will change not only the Jedi Knights, but it willchange Earth and the people on it.

Samcame to the point of why they are talking with Bodo Bass to begin with. “BodoBass we are here with you to learn what is in store for us since we now know weare on Earth.”

“Thetask that has been set forth on you all has not changed. You are here to learnabout the history of the Jedi. As all of you now know, finding the way out ofthis city was the simple part. It was meant to be this way. When you are allready to leave this city, you all will find the means of completing that task.Like I said, you cannot find all what is needed to know here in this city, butyou will find what you need to know.”

Seeingwhat he just said was not helping much, Bodo Bass relied, “If it makes you sixfeel any better, us Jedi had the same aggravation in learning. We have come tobelieve that it is the way of life.”

Brandonsaid, “Since this task has been put upon us now, we will strive to do our bestin fulfilling it.”

“Thatis all that can be expected from anybody. We Jedi of yesterday have notexpected that you six will do any less. Even though we do not know the outcomeyour lives, we do know that you six Jedi will defeat the Emperor. I wish that Ican tell you more than that my friends.”

Samreplied, “We all thank you for what information you have given us. When wefirst found out that this city was on Earth, we knew that there has to be moreto our task then simply looking up information in a library.”

“Youare all right. There is more to learn then what we have recorded so long ago.All we know is that this information will be provided for you in your time.Even though you are in your past, all of you including Dr. Daniel Jackson areliving in the time allowed of you. From this we knew that you six will be theones to defeat the Emperor, and bring the history of the Jedi to your time andplace in space. Once you unite all cities of the Jedi to Earth once more, thencan all Jedi be able to constantly thrive for knowledge once more, as we havedone so many years ago.”

Brandonsaid, “Until then, we will teach the Jedi of our time to thrive for that knowledgenow then wait until all of these cities will be united.”

BodoBass was quiet for a moment. “If you six can do this, us Jedi of yesterday willbe in your debt for all time.”

Beforethey left Bodo Bass, Nomi asked a question. “What does these five Earthly Jedihave to do with me?”

BodoBass answered with great certainty, “You Nomi Sunrider have everything to dowith these five Jedi's time. After all you and Brandon have fallen in true lovewith one another. You cannot interact with their time if you are not a big partof it.”

“Ifus Jedi of yesterday could deal with the Emperor in Earth's 21st Century, thenwe would. Since we have traveled many, many times in that era, we can onlyobserve it. We cannot change it, nor alter it in any way.”

Emilyasked, “Why is that?”

BodoBass answered, “No one can change what was. To you a few years from now havenot happened, but to someone 20 years after, that time is history. It is easierto break an atom with your bare hands then to change what has already happened.Only you six Jedi will have the capabilities to deal with the Emperor only ifyou stay with your Jedi training, and constantly thrive to learn all you can ofthe history of the Jedi.”

The sixof them finally said their goodbyes to Bodo Bass, and they went to the find DanielJackson to tell him what they have learned.

Afterhearing what they all said, Daniel just sat in his chair and said nothing.

Whenfinally spoke, he said, “WOW! We have been dealing with the Dark-side of theForce all this time, and we did not realize it.”

Jackreplied, “I know what you mean. I was there remember, and I still cannot fullytake it all in. It seems there is a small world after all.”

Sam said,“Now since we know that the Jedi of yesterday has everything to do with Earthof our time, we need to concentrate on knowing all about the history of theJedi.”

Brandonsaid, “While Daniel will be doing that, we need to get the three of you trainedto be a full Jedi.”

Ben said,“I can say that our training will have new meaning since we know that Earth isdirectly involved in the ancient Jedi. I know that I will think of that when Iwill continue with my training.” BothEmily and Jack stated the same thing.

Sam thensaid, “Starting tomorrow morning, we will continue with your training.”

Samlooked at Daniel before the six of them went to bed for the night. “Daniel,please keep up with what you are doing here in this library. Since Earth is apart of Jedi Knights, we will be training harder and longer. It will be up toyou to do most of the research.”

Daniel replied, “I understand completely. Iwill stay in here for a few more hours before I go to bed.” “Bodo Bass is right; these six JediKnights are special. The two that I have been working with for so long at theSGC have shown that time and time again. No wonder we, the SG1 team, were ableto defeat the Goa'uld for so long. Now they are learning their full potential,how much more can they do when they are fully trained to be Jedi Knights? IfEmperor Palpatine could only know of these six Jedi as I do, he would indeedknow his plans will fail.”

WhatDaniel did not realized he too has been a great part in helping SG1 defeat theGoa'uld. Since knowledge is more powerful than anything, everyonewill soon realize that it was what Daniel had learned and found that reallymade the difference in defeating the Goa'uld. If anyone of the SG1 team wasacting like an ancient Jedi Knight, it would be Dr. Daniel Jackson.

BeforeNomi and Brandon went to bed themselves, they continued their time togetherunder the night sky. The two of them were laying the ground in the samelocation. Nomi and Brandon were cuddled up to each other.

Nomisaid, “I am so happy for all of you to find that Earth is a great part of theJedi.”

Brandonsaid as he was looking at the stars in the sky, “So am I Nomi. Ben is right. Weall will see ourselves as Jedi differently from this day forward.”

“Since Iam a big part of your life Brandon, I now know what Bodo Bass said about mebeing a part of your time. I can almost feel it. Knowing that the Jedi are apart of your world, I can feel that I have always been a part of your time.”

As Nomiand Brandon looked into each other’s eyes, they could feel stronger bond betweenthem. As by an uncontrollable impulse, they kissed each other under the nightsky.

Unknowingto them both, the Force was growing stronger between them. Love is definitely apowerful ally. It will be the love that these two have that will be the keystone that will end not only the Emperor's plans, but his ability to causeproblems for anyone else in the future.

Nomi andBrandon's love for each other just might be able to destroy all that theDark-side of the Force had created throughout time itself. Even though theDark-side of the Force can never be destroyed, it just might be the love thatNomi and Brandon have for each other that will limit the power of theDark-side. Time will tell. It always does.

As theForce in these two Jedi grows, they will be entrusted to do many great thingsfor the Jedi and of Earth. That is why Bodo Bass looked at Nomi Sunrider whenhe told her about the map of the Jedi cities.

It willbe Nomi and Brandon that will be the first Jedi to find and see where all theJedi cities will be located. The Force will bringing them to this map, whenthat right time comes to pass. A great many adventures do await these six Jedias well as all Jedi once the Emperor has been dealt with once and for all. Lovedoes conquer all, and it will be the love that Nomi and Brandon have for each otherthat will allow the Emperor to be conquered for good.

Due towhat these seven have found out about Earth and the Jedi, Earth will never bethe same again. This does not mean that Earth will not be troubled by enemiesand other disasters. The Dark-side will still exist.

With theEmperor under control, the Dark-side of the Force will have all its teethremoved. Even without teeth, the Dark-side will still cause endless trouble forthe Jedi Knights, but not in the same way. It is then that the Jedi's past cancome out of hiding by revealing what all the Jedi cities have to offer the Jediof today. If only the Emperor knew what our six Jedi knows now.

Shortlyafter they kissed each other passionately, they fell asleep in each other’sarms. If only an artist could capturethem as they slept. It would be indeed awonder to draw, paint, or whatever art form that could be created. There is nothing more marvelous than thebeauty of love that these two have for each other.

The nextmorning, the six Jedi did take their training to a different level ofunderstanding due to the knowledge they now have. Sam, Nomi, and Brandon too were humbled overit. Since humility and integrity are the soul concept of the Jedi modus operandi,the six Jedi were not only be living as the ancient Jedi did so long ago, butall six were growing stronger in the Force due to this way of using the Force.

For thefirst time in millions of centuries, these six Jedi are truly acting like JediKnights. When they do leave the city to be with their families in the 21stCentury, they will be the first five to be true Jedi Knights.

**********

In the21st Century Earth did attack the Goa'uld. To their surprise it was very easy.This of course did not settle well with the Jedi or the Asgards. When everyonegot back to Earth, they had a meeting on this attack.

Lukesaid, “I do not like how easy this attack was since we had a hard time on thatDeath Star years ago.”

Thorreplied, “You are right Master Jedi. Something is not right. We were not victoriousone bit. We must find out what is really going on.”

Leiastated, “Could it be that we simply hit their weaker armies? We have done so inthe past.”

Lukereplied, “If only I could believe that to be true Leia. With all that we knowso far, I do not think that the Emperor would have any weaker armies.”

ThePresident of the United States asked, “Could we have simply just attack thisarmy while they were napping and less prepared?”

Thorreplied, “It might be that Mr. President, but with the Asgards knowledge ofmillions of years of military tactics, it is unlikely that they were notprepared for us. I do not know what to make of this, but I am sure that it doesnot make us victorious by any means. As you all know that the Ubaids escaped.There is no victory in that.”

Leiastate, “We did kill this Enki Goa'uld. There has to be some resolve in that.”

Thor wasquiet once more. The only thing he could say was, “How important was it to killEnki in the first place? Let's say that he was the Emperor's right hand man. Inkilling him, it has not stopped the Emperor's plan. No ladies and gentlemen, wewere not victorious one bit.”

Luke thensaid, “I do believe that the Emperor knows our weaknesses and our strengthalready. So we can rule out that the Emperor wanted to know what we have.”

Thorreplied, “The Emperor does not know everything about what we have.”

Thor toldall at the meeting what Bodo Bass has told the six Jedi in the Jedi city.

MasterThon said, “I thought those two love birds would make some kind of a differencein all of this. That is why Master Vodo and I have been allowing them to betogether so much.”

As Leiawas staring into space as she spoke, “I wonder what would have happened if wedid not find Brandon in Atlanta, Georgia when we did?”

Maraanswered, “I am sure that we would have found him in time. He is too strongwith the Force not to notice him. I am very happy that we did find him when wedid.”

Thorreplied, “So are the Asgards. When we first met Jack O'Neill many years ago, weknew that this sort of thing would happen. Now with the Emperor on the loosewith his evil plans, we are very much happy that Brandon has become a MasterJedi now then later.”

GeneralDavis committed, “From reading the files on SG1 missions, I have to state thatit had to be this Force that allowed all the SG1 members to come out alive.What I do not understand is how can the Force be able to help them without themknowing it?”

Thoranswered, “When Jedi Apprentices are being trained, they are learning tocontrol the living Force. The Force can operate without a Jedi. SG1 hascontrolled the Force many times during the years at certain moments withoutthem realizing it. Now while they are being trained as Jedi Knights, they willbe able to control the Force completely and totally.”

GeneralDavis asked, “What about Teal'c? Is he some kind of Jedi?”

Thoranswered, “No he is not. He is simple a great and powerful warrior. Onepowerful warrior or even four could not have simple defeated the Goa'uld asmuch as SG1 have done. Daniel Jackson also had a great impact in helping SG1.As you all have learned that the Ancient Jedi and the Jedi of today putknowledge as their highest priorities. It is when the Emperor is finallydefeated when the Jedi of today will fully comprehend the magnitude of it all.”

Lukeasked, “I take it that you cannot simply tell us about this?”

Thonturned and looked at Luke and said, “You are correct. The Jedi ancient historyis more complex than simply telling a story of its history. A good deal of ithas to do with the Ancient Jedi and the Asgards in protecting it. If theEmperor or any Dark Jedi found this information, the Jedi of today will be inmore danger then they are in now. There is more at stake than anyone can know.”

**********

As thethree new Jedi Apprentices were training to do just that, Daniel was findingall sorts of great information. Daniel had found information on when and whythe Jedi left the city they are in now.

Thisinformation states:

“The Jediwere friend with the Asgards for many years while they were in the city. Theyhave gained great knowledge from the Asgards during those years. When the Jediwas about to surpass what they have learned from the Asgards, it was theAsgards that introduced them to the Ancients.

It wasthese beings that created the Stargate travel. It was the Ancients that shownthe Jedi Knights how to create the machine that would surpass all knowledgethat they could ever want. When the Jedi learned how to use this machine withgreat abilities, the Asgards showed the Jedi how to use the Force to travel intime through the Stargate network.”

“It waswhen they learned to travel in time that some of the Jedi wanted to use theForce for power and domination. With the help of the Asgards, they helped theJedi to gather up these individuals. After careful consideration from the JediCouncil, these rogue Jedi Knights were kicked out of the Jedi Order.

It wasPalpatine himself that concluded that this would happen to them. He had one ofhis followers to steal the blueprints to the machine that had created the Forceof the Jedi. These blueprints could not be removed from its location. They were simply copied in every detail.

Thereason for leaving Earth was not to do with the separation of the rogue Jedi.The Jedi of the light used the Force for peace, knowledge, and serenity. TheDark-side used it for anger, fear and aggression.

As theJedi of the light travel in time to gather knowledge and observe history in themaking, the Jedi of the dark used it to learn how to destroy and conquer. Whenthe Jedi of the Light realized that these rogue Jedi was up to, they kickedthem out of the Jedi Order. Since then, revenge was on the minds of all DarkJedi.”

**********

Whenmeditating on the Force, Emily saw some of what went on in the city so manyyears ago. She was able to see the trail of the rogue Jedi. What got Emily'sattention during this trail was the wicked smile that Palpatine had when thesentence was pronounced to all of them.

Sheimmediately broke from the Force due to due the evilness of Palpatine. Samnoticed that Emily was disturbed over something, and asked what was wrong.Emily told them all what she saw with the Force.

Ben said,“It is interesting that you saw this first.”

Thereason for this is that Emily was learning to use her special skill of theForce. That special skill was to learn from the past events to help deal withthe present. Ben's special skills were to apply that knowledge that Emily willgather to deal with the events that they will face.

Theseskills are divided between them because they are brother and sister. When thesetwo work together with the Force, their Jedi skills will be united into a verypowerful ally for all of Earth and the Jedi Knights.

AfterBrandon pondered this information, he asked Ben to see what the Force told him.The Force told him that Palpatine had the means to get even with the JediCouncil.

Emilysaid, “Surely Palpatine realizes that this is his fault on why they were kickedout of the Jedi Order.”

Brandonsighed, “Palpatine and the rest were consumed with their own self worth. Youmight say they were the first to be consumed by the Dark-side of the Force.”

Ben saidsurprisingly, “How could that be? The Dark-side was not created at that time.”

Samreplied, “Do not be so sure about that. The machine was not created at thattime, but the concept of what the Dark-side is all about came from the mind ofEmperor Palpatine long before even the Light-side of the Force was created.That is why I believe that Emily received this information from the Force.”

Emilyasked, “You are saying that the Force had told me that to be a Jedi comes fromwithin and not from the Force itself?”

Brandonanswered, “Yes! That is exactly it! To be a Jedi is not to control the Force ora lightsaber. These things are tools that a Jedi uses to become and grow in theForce. To be a Jedi it is a whole lot more. That is how the SG1 were able to use the Force without knowing they weredoing it. That is how I was able to be so observant before Sam and the restfound me.”

Bensmiled, “It was our courage of you being a Jedi that allowed Yoda and Jolinarto give us their Jedi powers.”

Samreplied, “Yes. It will be that same thinking that enables us to constantly growin the Force.”

These sixJedi will become very powerful and become very important Jedi to come. BodoBass did not just send them to this city for no reason. He knew that these Jediand Daniel Jackson will be very important in the future of the Jedi Knights.

What thatimportance will be is not known, but everyone on Earth will find out soonerthan later. The Emperor may not realize this, but he has made a difference forEarth. By putting his evil plans in motion will indeed cause problems.

Bywanting to destroy Jedi on Earth, the Emperor has united the Jedi and Earthonce more. It is the Emperor that is putting things into motion for Earth andthe history of Jedi Knights. This is the key that will in time bring out theirhistory out of hiding.

Chapter 12: Where is the City of the Jedi

Chapter 12: Where is the City of the Jedi?

As theseven of them were looking for means of staying alive, Jack had a seriousquestion that ran through his mind.

He said toeveryone, “Have you all noticed that we are not on Ambria.”

Sam askedhim, “What makes you think that?”

“When wefirst got here a strong breeze hit us in the face. We are not underground.”

Benreplied, “Jack is right. We are somewhere else. We are going to have to findout where.”

As theywere walking, they came across a big building. It had stairs that one could geta workout just walking up them.

Samsaid, “If there are no logistics that we need up here, I do not think that wewill find it.”

Emilyclosed her eyes, and used the Force to see what was in this building. Sheopened her eyes, and gave everyone a big smile.

“Thereis more then what we need to survive in this building. There is also a Librarythat would make the Library of Congress back home look like a miniatureconcession stand. That is not the half of what is in this big building.” They all eagerly walked up the stairs.

Themain hall was beyond beautiful. It could make the Tower of London look like acondemn house by comparison. Theywere almost afraid to walk in. How beautiful the place was, theywere afraid they would tarnish the placesomehow.

Nomicommitted, “I wished that Master Thon and Master Vodo could see this place.This place is wonderful.

Benreplied, “I wished our families could see this place. I would not mind livinghere for the rest of my life.”

Sam askedEmily, “Where are those logistics you mentioned? I want to get settled in beforeexplore this place.” They all followedEmily to where she saw the room that had all the things they needed to surviveas far as food and drink were concern. When they arrived at their destination, they came in a large room. Ithad a lot of food replicators.

Sam said,“I am glad we do not have to cook our food. It seems that we are the only livingcreature in this city. We might be the only living thing on whatever planet weare on.” Sam tried each replicator tosee if they were still functional. She asked for a class of cold water. She used the Force to see if the water wascontaminated. It was not, and she took a sip. She offered the other classes ofwater.

Jackasked, “It seems that everything is in working order. I wonder what else thesefood replicators can make?” The replicator that Jack was in front of showed amain menu of the different types of food it could make. It showed:

Meats

Vegetables

Fruits

Breads

Deserts

Drinks

They alllooked at the screen that Jack was looking at, and they went through all thechoices. It even had Jack's favorite, Jell-O.

After Samwas satisfied with finding what she wanted, she allowed everyone to explore.They toured every nook and granny throughout the building. They found theliving quarters. Each room was very large.

Sam said,“We could live here for the rest of our lives. I would not mind retiring herein this place.”

Jack saidseriously, “We are going to stay here for a long time since it will take atthat long to find out how to get back.”

Samsighed, “Your right. I have not thought about that. It is a good thing that youdecided to have Daniel with us. Without him it could take us a great manyyears.

When theyfinished looking over the building, they finished with the tour of the city. Ontheir journey they came across something similar to Land Speeder. With thistransport they were able to tour the entire city before it got dark.

Whenthey finished site seeing, Brandon and Nomi decided to stay alone outdoorswhile the others went inside. They wanted to share some time together under thestarry sky. They lay on the grass, andlooked at the sky. They talked about how much they loved each other and theirfuture together.

Whenstars finally came out bright in the night sky, Nomi cuddled up to Brandon andsaid, “They are shinning bright just for us.”

Brandonlooked at them quietly. After a short time Brandon's eyes widen in horror.

Nomirealized that Brandon was tense about something but did not know why. Sheasked, “What is wrong?”

Brandoncalmly asked for his comlink that was on his belt. Brandon could have easily got his comlink offhis belt, but what his eyes were fixated on, he was afraid that they all wouldgo away if even blinked.

Nomi did not understand, but she did as shewas asked. She handed him his comlink.

With hiseyes still fixed on the sky, he called for Sam.

Samreplied, “What can I do for you two?”

Brandonsaid, “You all need to get out here, and look at the night sky. Tell me whatyou see.”

Samreplied, “We will be right out.”

Nomiand Brandon were on their feet when they walked outside. They saw the samething as what Brandon saw.

Nomiwas still confused of why everyone was so perplexed of the stars in the sky.

Brandongave her a smile and a hug.

He saidto her, “Sorry about our mouths dropping all over the place. You see my love bylooking at the stars we know what planet we are on.”

Brandonpointed to the stars and continued, “This constellation is Orion. This one iscalled the Big Dipper.”

“We areon Earth.”

**********

On Ambriaeverything was quiet. It seemed too quiet. Luke and Leia were down on theplanet with Master Thon and Master Vodo.

Lukesaid, “I do not like this at all. I know that we have 4,000 years of technicalknowhow, but for the Sith to suddenly giving up. It is not like them.”

MasterVodo replied, “What is more interesting is that the six Jedi and Daniel Jacksonhave not been found on or under Ambria. I kept a track on them while they wentthrough the entrance to the ground below, and they simply disappeared.”

Leiaasked, “Could the Sith taken them in some way?”

MasterVodo answered, “I did not see any Dark-side presence of the Sith or any other formof the Dark-side. Theymust have been transported by whatever means is down there. I do not think itwas by the Dark-side.”

“Whateveris down below had some kind of transport device that carried them to someunknown location. Master Thon and I have been meditating on this for some time,and we have not found out a thing so far.”

Just thenMaster Vodo's Holocron produced a holographic image of Thor.

Thorsaid, “I hope that I have not interrupted anything that you were doing, but itis urgent that I speak with you.”

MasterVodo replied, “We were just talking about why the Sith has stopped attackingus, and where our six Jedi has gone. They have gone with Daniel to investigatethe first city of the Jedi.”

Thorhad an answer for both of their inquiries. “I can solve both of your twomysteries. The Sith of your time is not attacking due to the SGC teams havefound out that a great number of Goa'uld are being trained as Dark Jedisoldiers. It is highly possible that they are going to your time and attach youthere. We need all of you to come here in this time and help destroy them.”

MasterThon said, “We will all get on board the Executor, and get there as quickly aswe can. It will be some time to gatherall the available personnel and equipment we can carry.”

Thorsaid, “The quicker you can get here the better. For your second concern you have mentioned, Daniel Jackson and the Jediare on Earth over a trillion in the past. They have been transported there bythe same means of how the ancient Jedi came to Yavin 4, or should I sayAmbria.”

“Therehave been a lot of things that no Jedi has ever known about. Only the ones inthe first city of the Jedi will be the first to know about it since thebeginning of the Jedi and the Force.” Thor was quiet for only a few seconds then continued, “It is veryimportant that you all travel to Earth of this era. Please hurry.” The holographic image vanished.

Leiasaid, “Who would ever know that the home world of the Jedi was on Earth. I willbe very interested in knowing what they find.”

Lukecommitted, “We better get a move on. If we do not get back to Earth and dealwith this army that Thor spoke of, there might not be anyone to return to forare friends in the first city of the Jedi.”

MasterThon went off the gather all the Jedi on Ambria to get ready to board the Executor.Mater Vodo went off to gather all the equipment that they would need for theirjourney. Luke and Leia contacted the others, and told them what Thor had toldall of them.

**********

It wasNomi's time to have her face dropped. After a few moments of composing herself,“I never thought that a Jedi could ever travel in time. These ancient Jedi musthave been very advanced to do something like that. I am happy to be able to beon your world even though it is not the same time as you all came from.”

Brandonsmiled, “Daniel it looks like you got a bigger job to do than you thought.”

They allcontinued to look at the constellations in the sky.

Sam said, “It is amazing that the stars are in the sameformation as in our time.”

As they kept on looking, Brandon pointed andnamed each constellation for Nomi.

As expected when they all went to their rooms,they could not go to sleep. They were all too excited to sleep. To think theyhave been on Earth all this time. When they finally did fall asleep, it waslate afternoon when they woke up.

It was Sam that woke everyone up. She wanted tospend time in the Jedi library. Hopefully all the answers that they are lookingfor will be in there.

They all got cleaned up and dressed. They allmet in the hallway. Everyone was very excited in learning about the Jedi'shistory on Earth. Everyone felt like akid on Christmas morning.

Spitethe little sleep they got, they had the energy of reading a great deal ofbooks. They could not read all the books in the library. There had to bemillions upon millions of books in this library. As usual Daniel was the firstone that found the information on what time they are in.

Danielshouted, “I have found it! The time measurement is different than ours, butfrom what other information I have found I have calculated that we are at least500 billion years before the earliest Dinosaur recorded history. I have alsofound how to get back home, but we need to find it.”

Samasked, “Find what?”

Daniel answeredwith a smile on his face, “The Stargate”

Jackasked, “Once we find this Stargate, how do we dial to the same place in spaceand time?”

Danielanswered, “By using the Chevrons that are given to us. It seems that theseancient Jedi traveled to our time a great deal by the use of the Stargate.”

Danielshowed them the information that he had read. After they all read it, they wereamazed that the Jedi had traveled to their time through the Stargate withoutthem knowing about it.

Jacksaid, “They must have done so before the SGC came into play.”

Emilyasked, Sam, “Should we start looking for this Stargate before we start with whywe came here in the first place?”

Samthought about it for a moment. “Let's see what Daniel can find out first.”

Danieltold them, “I will do what I can to quickly find the where about of thisStargate. Once I find out where it is and how to use it, I will let you allknow.”

Brandonreplied, “We all have confidence in your abilities. I have feeling that when wefind what we came here in the first place, we will find that Stargate to gethome.”

Thenext great find from the books in the library was from Nomi. “Everyone, I havefound how these Jedi got a hold of the Stargate in the first place. They got ahold of it by the means of the Asgards. The Jedi and the Asgards became greatallies. The Asgards respected the Jedi's constant thrive for knowledge. Theydecided to give them not only the means of traveling far and distant places,but they gave them the means of traveling into time, either to the past or thefuture. What better way to learn fromthe past or the future other than firsthand experience.”

WhatNomi read after that got everyone's attention. “One time when the Jedi wentinto the future they saw what Emperor Palpatine did by sacrificing himself intothe Dark-side of the Force. The Jedi was horrified of what they saw. They hadto leave very quickly to their own time. They did not have to use a Stargate tolock onto another Stargate no matter what time they were in. It does not say anything about how this wasaccomplished.”

Danielreplied, “It makes since on how we got here. We did not have to use a Stargatein the corridor that we were in on Ambria.”

Samstated, “Then that Stargate that we are looking for was right under our feetall along.

They allran out of the library, and went to the place that they arrive at.

Brandonused the Force and did confirm that the Stargate was buried under their feet.Brandon did not find the dial home device.

Nomisaw everyone getting the down trot look, so she tried to encourage everyone.“We are getting closer to what we are finding. Now we need to find out therest.”

Everyonesmiled at Nomi, and thanked her for her encouragements.

Brandonsaid, “If the others needs us on Earth then I am sure that Thor, and the otherAsgards would come for us immediately. I am sure that Master Thon or MasterVodo has communicated with the Asgards by now, and the Asgards have told themwhere we are.”

Sam said, “We need to leave the Stargate where it at. I do not want the Goa'uld or any enemy toenter this city. Until we find out moreabout this city, and the reason we came here, we need to be theonly living beings here.

Brandonsaid, “We should leave it where it is period. The ancient Jedi was able to use it to travel the galaxy, and throughtime and space. Until we findinformation on putting this Stargate on the surface, it should stay where it isnow.”

Ben saidas they were walking back to the Jedi Library, “What we have found is just simpletrivia information. We were sent down to find more important information on howto put the Emperor on ice for good.”

Emilyreplied, “We might find a way to put those Ubaids back in stasis and keep themthere”

Nomicommitted, “Sam wanted us to find the necessities of life for us here before westarted anything. We had to find how toget out of here. All we need to do is find the means of running this Stargateif it is the way we are to get out of here. We did not use the Stargate itselfto get here. We used some other technology. As far as we know that could be aone way transport. I believe that if it was a two way, we would find this dialingdevice to run this Stargate.”

Samsaid, “Then it is settled. Starting tomorrow we continue with the Jedi trainingwhile Daniel hits the books in the Jedi Library. After the training tomorrow weall examine this city for anything that might help us with our task at hand.”

Allthe sudden Brandon stopped and asked Sam to give Daniel one of her lightsabers.After she handed it to Daniel, Brandon turned on one of the blades of hislightsaber, and raised it in the air.

Brandonsaid, “All for one.” The rest of them turn on their lightsabers, and hadtheir blades touch Brandon's and said, “And one for all.”

**********

Everyonethat was going to Earth to the 21st Century was on board the Executor. Beforetaking off, Master Thon wanted to say something to all the Jedi on board. “We are about to cross over into the very farfuture, and to planet Earth. We will first be meeting with the Asgards.Unfortunately we will not be there for pleasantries. We will be helping theJedi, and the rest of the people of Earth to get ready to fight the Goa'uld andthe Ubaids. As you all know that the Ubaids are special elite forces of theDark-side.”

“Theywill be very powerful. The Goa'uld will be trained to be nearly as powerfulwith the Force. From this time forward all Jedi must be on their fullest alert.Once we get there, Earth could be under attack by these enemies of the Dark-side.”

“Beforewe came on board the Executor, I had another talk with Thor. We had discussedthat the Jedi that are in the first city of the Jedi will not be called uponfor help. May the Force be with all of you throughout this ordeal.”

Thornodded to Luke.

Luke gavethe command to set a course towards Earth in the 21st Century.

MasterThon went to Luke to talk quietly. “Luke at all cost we do not need to losethis battle. Whatever those Jedi can learn in that city, they need our help tocarry it out.”

Lukereplied, “I totally agree with you. The Emperor needs to be finally stopped,and have him never to return to any form of life in ourexistence.”

Leiasaid, “We do have the upper hand. They do not know that we are going to attackthem first. We might even catch them napping.

Corranreplied, “I hope you are right Princess. Either way life on Earth or on Ambriawill not be the same.”

Mara Jadecommitted, “No it will not. It will allow everyone on Earth and everywhere intime and space to broaden their minds and their abilities. That is what theJedi Knight's code is all about.”

**********

Peoplehave changed during, and after a war. Sometimes they change for the better, andsometimes they change for the worse. With how Earth responded to their first twoJedi Knights, it seems that Earth will respond in the same manner of this war.

Sincethey are getting involved directly with defending Earth instead of evacuating,they will definitely change with positive admiration for themselves. Freedom isnot free. It has a price tag of winning a war of tyranny and depression.

AsGeneral Patton said, “I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war bydying for his country. He won it by making the other poor, dumb bastard die forhis country.” The glory comes to anation when the ones that survive in a war, and say that they will do it againif they are called to do so. As Earth is preparing for this war with theEmperor, they will constantly think of Master Jedi Sam O'Neill and Master JediBrandon Bowers. Earth knows that Emily and Ben Aaron are being trained tobecome Jedi, they know that one day they will become great Jedi Knights.

Ben,Emily, and Jack do have a lot to learn before they can become full JediKnights. All of them including Dr. Daniel Jackson have a great deal to learnbefore they will be able to reunite with their friends and family in the 21stCentury. To deal with the Dark-side of the Force, and keep the Emperor fromcausing any more problem for anyone, will indeed take a great deal. What willhelp the people of Earth to fight Emperor Palpatine will be the love andsupport that Earth has towards their first two Jedi Knights.

**********

It tookthe Executor several days to reach the 21st Century and Earth. When they gotthere, Earth was not under attack. In fact, they heard great news. Thor had told them that the group that wasplanning to attack Ambria has been put on hold for some reason. “The SGC andthe some of the Asgards have been investigating the reason for this. It couldbe possible that the Emperor has foreseen you coming here to the 21st Century.Whatever the reason, we need to act fast, as soon as we hear from the investigatingparty.”

MasterVodo asked, “How long will it be before they can give us the scouting report?”

Thoranswered, “If we do not hear from these scouting parties in a week, I havedecided that we should attack the Goa'uld fortress immediately. Everyone onEarth is ready for the attack. It would be very helpful that you introduceyourself to Earth.

With theAsgards technology The Jedi of the past did just that. Afterwards, Mater Thornand Master Vodo wanted to take the time to meet the families of the Jedi ofEarth.

Eventhough Master Thon looked like a Protoceratops, everyone on Earth was notafraid in seeing him. Since he did looked like a Dinosaur so many years ago ofEarth's past, some people wondered how far back of Earth history dealt with theJedi.

AfterMaster Thon and Master Vodo told they were 4,000 years in the past, everyone onEarth was starting to realize how dangerous things are for Earth. That did notdiscourage anyone one bit. Everyone on Earth has become more determined tofight and win. It was Earth's first two Jedi that risked their lives for them.Now everyone on Earth is willing to risk their lives for the first two EarthlyJedi Knights.

Leia wasthe one that introduced Master Thon and Master Vodo to everyone at the mansion.They were all happy to meet the Jedi of yesterday.

Jerrysaid, “Thank you for helping our Jedi family in whatever quests that are instore for them. From what we all have been hearing, it looks like we have ourhand full before they can come back to us.”

WhenMaster Thon saw Eunice Blair for the first time, he gave her a full Jedi bow.He said, “It is an honor to meet you face to face. Master Jedi Brandon Bowershas told me great things about you. I can see that he was right in everythinghe said.”

Eunicereplied, “Thank you for your kind words. I am honored to see the ones that hadhelped protect not only my grandson, but the rest of our family.”

MasterThon said to Eunice, “If only your love and kindness that is in your heartcould be the only tool needed to destroy the Emperor and his minions.”

MasterThon looked at all of them. “I can honestly say that the family that MasterJedi Brandon Bowers has will make the difference in his life as a Jedi. I haveseen it in all of the Jedi that came to us. The light does not only shin fromthe Jedi Knights. It shines from anyone that puts faith in the truth. There isa saying that us Jedi in my time says during great peril with the Dark-side ofthe Force. That saying goes, ‘I rest in the Light-side of the Force. That is mypower. As the Light, I expand.' May the light expand upon all of you. May youall walk into the light.”

Beforethe Jedi of yesterday was needed to help defeat the Emperor and his army, theyspent time with the Bowers and Aarons. Some of them took their time in learningabout the Jedi of this era. Time has indeed changed the Jedi Knights between4,000 years. Some of the Jedi Masters even help a little in training theEarthly Jedi Apprentices. The Jedi of yesterday was indeed fitting in.

Chapter 11: The True Lost City of the Jedi

2006-09-12T18:26:00.000-07:00

Chapter 11: The True Lost City of the Jedi

Daniel didhave the time of his life in reading the materials in the Jedi Library on Ambria.The ones that knew Daniel well knew that he was in hog heaven. They also knewthat if something was important for them to know, Dr. Daniel Jackson would bethe one to find it.

Jack was evenwondering if Daniel was some kind of Jedi Scribe, or simply just had the knackin finding the information that needed to be found. No matter how Daniel wasable to find all the important information needed, all Jack cared about that hewas able to do the job.

There was onething that Daniel found that was very interesting. This information mentioned of the Lost Cityof the Jedi. First Daniel dismissed the idea because he heard of Luke'sadventure in the lost city on Yavin 4. Daniel came up on some more information about the same Lost City. BeforeDaniel decided to tell the others about it, he wanted to find more informationon it.

He did indeedfound more information. Daniel found information on a minor ancient city onYavin 4. There were many of these minor Jedi cities throughout the galaxy andthe universe. Daniel found many othermaterials talking about the history of this city, and how the Force wascreated. It mentioned of a very high technical machine that allowed the JediKnights to use special abilities to do small task, but most importantly to helpaid them in knowledge.

One book thatDaniel came across that had information on the original reason for creatingthis machine. The first Jedi Knights wanted to constantly keep on learningeverything around them. As in anyone,one will reach his or her limits. The Jedi went to all lengths to go far beyondwhat they were capable. They wanted to keep pushing themselves to be able to domore.

One day theJedi Council realized that they could not reach their goal without the help ofadvanced technology. They did not all of the sudden designed a machine andpresto instant results. It took the Jedi thousands of years.

This machinewould evolve. It would grow and better itself as they have done as the Jediconstantly use this machine. After a good many years, the Jedi Knights foundout they were able to do things that no simple mortal could do. It was simplethings, but it was beyond their hopes and dreams.

The Jediconstantly used these abilities to help them do mundane task so they canconcentrate on learning. One day the Jedi proclaimed this idea, “Why can we usethese new abilities to broaden are mental capacity.

They were alittle timid at first. They did not want burn out their minds in the process oflearning. What they did at first was to concentrate on what they were learning.Maybe these abilities can help them dig deeper into the subject that they wereworking on.

The more theydid this the more new ideas and concepts came forth. Sometimes the informationthat they were looking for pop up in their minds while other times it was asthey were summon to the information first hand, like to a certain book or sometype of object or material.

Daniel wasvery much fascinated in what he was reading, but he wanted to find out more onthis Lost City of the Jedi. Aftersearching through several books, he found the lottery ticket that had thenumbers he needed to win. This book and many others beside it had all theinformation that Daniel could ever want to learn about this Lost City of theJedi.

As he wasreading them, Nomi and Brandon came into the Library watching Daniel readintensely. Nomi deliberately made a loud noise with one of the chairs besidethe table that Daniel was sitting.

Daniel lookedup and smiled. He said, “I have foundthe biggest important part of the Jedi history. I have found the first LostCity of the Jedi. This is the first city of the Jedi.”

Nomi asked,“You need help reading all of this?” Daniel gave them what he had already readand said, “I have read these already. After you two read them, please give meyour comments.”

Nomi andBrandon pulled up a chair, and sat down. They started reading what Daniel gavethem.

After theyfinished, Brandon said excitingly, “This indeed is a mega find for you.” Brandon looked at Nomi, “I think that once wetell the others about this, we need to meditate on the Force on this.”

Nomi replied,“I agree. I do not know what more that we can find other than what is in thesebooks, but the Force should give us something just the same.”

Daniel said,“I hope so. Even with all this information, I have not found out where or howto enter this city.

All thesudden, Sam darted into the Jedi Library. She looked at them in alarm. “TheSith is attacking us.”

She looked atDaniel and told him that Luke needed him with the others. Daniel knew whereLuke was located, and he immediately went to him without saying anything.

Brandon askedSam as they moved quickly to where the other Jedi were located, “What is goingon?”

“Master Thonand Master Vodo is using the Force in helping fight the Sith, but the Sith isstill attacking.

Brandonlooked at Nomi. “This is your chance in working on those Jedi skills that Itaught you.”

When thethree of them arrived, they did see the Sith fighters firing at the shield thatwas protecting the city.

Nomi andBrandon locked hands so that Nomi's palm faced outward. They raised their armsso that Nomi outwardly palm faced the approaching ship in the air.

With both oftheir eyes opened and concentrating of the Force, Nomi said, “I rest in theLight-side of the Force. That is my power. As the Light, I expand.”

WithBrandon's help, Nomi was able to reflect the laser blasts of the approachingship, and she used that same laser bolts to hit the ship that fired. All bolts hit the target. The ship went downseveral feet away from the city and crashed. It exploded on impact. Nomi did the same thing to another approachingship, and it found the same fate.

When two moreship came in, it was Master Thon that took care of them. He used the Force tocause them to crash into each other.

Jack said,“It looks like they are going to have a headache when they wake up.” MasterThon's comlink was open during the whole event.

Han replied,“You got that right, but I do not think they are going to wake up.”

Han pausedfor a moment, “I think that is all of them. Master Thon, we will be making asweep around Ambria just the same.”

Master Thonreplied, “I do not feel any more of the Sith here, but please be careful.”

Han saidbefore turning off his comlink, “I am planning to do that. I will let you knowwhat we find if any as soon as we make our rounds.”

Master Thonused the Force to turn off his comlink.

He looked atNomi and Brandon, “That was great work. Master Yoda is a great Jedi to teachyou that Brandon. I am very proud of you Nomi in learning this skill.”

From hearingthis from Master Thon, Nomi and Brandon still had their hands locked, but thistime they were holding each other’s hands as any lovers would do. They lookedat each other, and gave each other a big smile.

They bothlooked at Master Thon, and smile at him. They both gave him a full Jedi bow inshowing their gratitude towards him.

Master Thon'scomlink when off, and it was Han on the other end. “Master Thon, everythinglooks clear from up here. If they try to attack again, we will let you knowfrom the Executor. Luke is up there now. He will make sure that this type ofsurprise attack does not happen again.”

Master Thonsaid, “It was not your fault of this surprise attack. The Dark-side can cloudeverything. Please tell everyone that we all have complete confidence in doingthe job.”

Sam told Nomiand Brandon what happen before she came for them.

Brandon said,“Sorry that we did not see this ahead of time with the Force. Daniel and we twohave been reading what Daniel had discovered.”

Both Nomi andBrandon told everyone what they have read, and what Daniel had told them.

Master Thonreplied, “I will have Daniel join you two in the Jedi Library as soon as possible.Until the Sith attack again, I want you three on this.

Nomi said toMaster Thon, “Brandon said that we should meditate of the Force on this matter.”

Master Vodoreplied, “Then you should. Master Thon and I will finish on what we were doingbefore our little incident. You six should meditate on this together. When youare finished, please come to us, and tell us what you have discovered.

On Yavin 4,Exar was using the Force to monitor the entire event. He wanted to sink in thecracks in the floor. Ulic too was monitoring the event.

Ulic said,“When the Emperor finds out about this. . .”

Exar raisedhis hand to stop him from saying the rest. “We all knew that this would notwork. I knew those Jedi were powerful. From what Nomi and Brandon did to ourships, I do not think that we will ever defeat them.

The Holocronthat was used to communicate with the Emperor came up with a holographic imageof him. Both Exar and Ulic cringed at the immediate sight of him.

They weresurprised on what the Emperor said to them. “Everything is going as planned. Wenow know the Jedi's strengths and weaknesses. The next phase of my plan canstart immediately.” Then the holograph image of the Emperor went off as withthe Holocron.

Both Exar andUlic looked at each other. They both thought that the Emperor must be out ofhis mind. Just the same Exar order the second phase of the major plan tocommence. Since everyone was monitoring what went on, the commander of fleettook a few seconds in his reply, “Yes sir, Exar. Second phase is starting now.”

Exar knewwhat the commander was thinking because he was thinking the same thing, “Thisis suicide!”

**********

Back onAmbria the six Jedi found a secluded area to meditate on the Force over the matterof the Lost City of the Jedi.

After a fewmoments, a familiar voice came to them. Nomi of course did not recognize thevoice.

ForNomi's sake, he introduced himself and a short version of what he had said tothe others in their first encounter. Bodo Bass also stated to Nomi herimportance with eliminating the Emperor's plans.

Afterhaving Nomi brought to the same understanding of what is going on, Bodo Basstold all six of them about what Daniel Jackson had found in the Jedi Library.

Hesaid, “What Daniel Jackson found is true. This city is where it all started. Itis important that you enter this city. It has the means of eliminating theSith. It will take all six of you to find these secrets. The reason for anentrance not being mentioned in the archives is because it was never enteredinto them. No Jedi will be able to enter this city without myinstructions.” He gave them all theinstructions to be able to enter the city.

“Notonly will you find the means of destroying the Sith of this time, but you willbe able to stop the Emperor, and his plans in killing all Jedi Knights. That iswhy this city had to be protected. It has the secrets from within on how to endto the Emperor's plans, and keep him from ever coming back in any form in theflesh. Once you can keep him from returning, then can the Jedi have rest fromthe constant empowerment of the Dark-side. Please my friends make haste inentering this city and finding what you need to succeed.”

The six ofthem took off immediately to Master Thon and Master Vodo to tell them this information.

Master Thonsaid, “What he has told you is very interesting. There must be a great deal inthis city to keep it a secret these many, many years.”

Jack said,“When Daniel finishes with Luke and the others, we will need his expertise. Heread a lot more on the ancient Jedi then any of us six has done. He also hasthe gift in finding what we need in shorter time then any Jedi could ever do.”

Master Thonthen used his comlink to ask Luke to have Daniel brought here as soon aspossible. When Daniel finally arrived,the seven of them set off for the Lost City of the Jedi. They filled Daniel in on what Bodo Bass hadjust told them.

Sam said toDaniel, “It was Jack that wanted you to come along.”

Jack said, “Iknow that you will be the only one that can help us find what we need to find.You have that gift. I do not know if I should call you a Jedi Archaeologist ornot, but you have found more information than any Jedi could hope tofind.” Jack was quiet for a few secondsand said, “Yes we are always on some kind of time table, but I think that youneed to take as long as you think necessary. From what Bodo Bass said to us, itlooks like what we are looking for will not just jump out, and say hello.”

As Jack wastalking, Sam just smiled quietly. When Jack turned to look at her, she salutedhim and said, “Yes, sir.”

It was Jackthat gave a smile. He said, “It looks like old times. I should have gottenTeal'c to join us. It would be like old times with him with us.”

Daniel said,“He did ask to come, but Luke said, “The only reason for Daniel going is due tohis expertise in finding things.”

Brandonfinally spoke up, “Daniel is doing his job. The three of you will be onconstant training prominence.”

Sam said,“The quicker all of you become Jedi the better it will be for all of us.”

Emily and Benunderstood and were ready for what awaits them. Jack too was willing to do whatit takes to get the job done, and end these plans that the Emperor has instore.

After a goodwalk they finally arrived to the entrance they needed to go through. They followed the instructions that Bodo Bassgave them to the letter. Shortly after,they were able to enter. They reversedwhat they did so that no one could enter behind them.

Before theygot to the city itself, they had to walk down a very long corridor. With Daniel'skeen eye, he saw something strange about how the wall was formed. He stoppedand looked at the walls closer.

When Samrealized that Daniel was a distance behind them, she turn and asked Daniel,“What have you found?”

He replied,“I am not sure. These markings look familiar.”

Heremembered. He read it in one of the books at the Jedi Library. The markingswere some kind of a key to get into the city. Nomi remember reading that also.She said to the others. Gather around near Daniel and use the Force toconcentrate on these markings.”

Everyoneclosed their eyes including Daniel. Everyone except Daniel concentrated hardwith the Force on the markings. After a short time, they felt the wind blowingon their faces. Everyone open their eyesand they saw the Jedi City all around them. Sam looked at Daniel and asked,“How did we get here?”

He answered,“I had my eyes closed also. I had a feeling that any Jedi that wanted to get tothe city had to close his or her eyes to concentrate of the Force. That meansthat I had to close my eyes in order to get here. If I did not, then I might neverbeen able to get to this city on my own.”

Brandon saidto Nomi, “Good thinking my love. If it was not for you, we would be walking tothe core of the planet without taking one foot on this city. Nomi just smiled at him, and gave him a kiss.

Sam said toeveryone, “Before we do anything, we need to find our logistical needs, food,water, a place to sleep, etc.” Even though it was mid-noon, they still quicklysearched for what they needed to survive, or their adventure here will be ashort one.

**********

At theEmperor's stronghold, Emperor Palpatine was very frustrated of the second lossof the Sith.

“That wastwo wave of Sith fighters that were completely wiped out. In order for hisplans to succeed those Jedi from the present must be destroyed as well as theones that are helping them. With more than half of the Dark-side of the Forcefollowers totally destroyed of Exar and Ulic's time, he did not know how itcould be carried out. Just the same it must be carried out, or all thethousands of years of planning for this day will not come to pass.”

He finallydecided to take Enki's offer in going to the past and deal with these Jedi.When the Emperor contacted Enki, the Goa'uld forces were nearly train toexpectations.

Hearing this,the Emperor commanded Enki, “When all the Goa'uld is trained fully, I want youto take all of them, and wipe out the five Jedi from our time. After that, dowhat you want with Lord Exar Kun and Lord Ulic Qel-Droma.”

Enki said,“My Lord after I finish with our enemies, we will feast off of Exar Kun andUlic Qel-Droma.”

“Now myplans have a stronger chance of winning. Why did I ever put my trust on Exarand Ulic? Those idiots do not even deserve the powers that were given to them.If Enki can carry out in destroying all of them, then I can finally get rid ofthose Asgards once and for all. The Jedi are the biggest threat of my plans intaking over the Universe. With the Jedi out my way, I can easily get rid of theAsgards with one swift stroke."

Whileeveryone on Earth was doing their part in preparing for Earth survival, MonMothma took the time to visit with the Bowers and the Aarons at the mansion inAtlanta, Georgia.

It was Eunicethat first saw her walking through the area where the Tok'ra was training. Eunicewaved at her, and gave a big smile. Mon Mothma wave back and gave a smile ofher own in return.

When MonMothma came up to the porch where Eunice was sitting, she asked her, “How areyou doing. It is great to see you again.”

Just thenJerry and Barbara walked out the front door. They all greeted one another.

Barbara saidto Mon Mothma, “With all what has been going on, I thought you would never beable to take time off.”

Mon Mothmasaid jokingly, “They do not know I slipped out. That place is turning into acomplete mad house.”

After a fewlaughs, Mon Mothma said, “Things are still busy, but they are under control forthe time being. I came over to see how all of you are doing. I know that Icould have called, but I wanted the excuse to see all of you in person.”

Jerry said,“For us things are busy here. I believe what we have done for all the Jedi traineesare a great service. It feels to me that their training would not be the samewithout our support.”

Jedi MasterMel Amada came up to them. “Jerry you are doing a great service for us. Moralsupport is a strong ally in any thing we do. I have heard from a great many ofJedi Apprentices that they are very grateful for all that you have done.” Mel was quiet for a moment then said, “I amhere on your request Jerry. You said that we can get more of those things youcall “hot dogs.”

Jerry showedMel where they were, and the toppings to put on her hot dog. “Eat as many as you like. We have plenty ofthem.”

Mel thankedhim for his help. Jerry left her, andwent back to where Mon Mothma and the others were.

When Jerryreturned, Mon Mothma asked them, “How are you holding out with your Jedi familybeing away for so long? I know that having Jedi in the family is hard foreveryone. I know many that do have Jedi in their family, and I have heard theirstories many times.”

Eunice wasthe first to answer, “When I was on Coruscant for the first time, I was alonewith Brandon. I was not only excited for the future for my grandson, but I knewhe will be doing a great many things that would change his life forever. Withall the new challenges and responsibilities that he will be taking for now onas a Master Jedi, I know in my heart that he will get through it.”

“One day hemight be seriously injured in what he is doing or even killed, but the fulfillmentof his life will be rewarded for all that is around him including his family.”

Mon Mothmajust smile at Eunice and said humbly, “That is why I like being around all ofyou. You have great love for life, and you are not afraid to live it. Istrongly believe that it is your upbringing of Brandon that made him capable ofbecoming a Jedi as strong as he has, if not more.”

“From what Ihave seen of Brandon, and heard from Luke and the others, Brandon does not easilyback down once he starts something. He did not learn that from being a Jedi. Helearned it from all of you.”

“The teacheris the least recognized importance in all our lives. Without my teachers Iwould not been able to be a strong leader as I am. Please, none of you evergive up on what will be unfolding in times to come.”

“In fightingthe Emperor once, I can tell you that he is a very powerful adversary. He haskilled millions upon millions of people during the Clone Wars. It was by veryslim chance that Darth Vader reverted back to Anakin Skywalker, and destroyedthe Emperor.”

Jerry said,“That is why we are sharing our time with all the Jedi here. We also see thepotential dangers of things to come. In Earth's history, we had many wars thatseem to us to be just as menacing. Life on Earth has survived it. We will allsurvive this war when it is all over with. Our Jedi family will do their dutyin fighting this Emperor, and they will carry it out to the end.”

For the restof Mon Mothma's visit, they enjoyed each other’s company. When she finally leftthem all to carry out their duties in carrying for the Jedi, she knew that thefive Earthly Jedi Knights will become victorious.

Chapter 10: Emperor Palpatine and the Sith

2006-09-12T18:24:00.000-07:00

10: Emperor Palpatine and the Sith

At his throneroom, Emperor Palpatine said to his apprentice, Enki, “You have done betterthan expected. The Jedi are playing into my plans perfectly. By having all theMaster Jedi and their apprentices with them in the past, I can completelydestroy them with one swift stroke.”

“They thinkthat they are safe 4,000 years in the past. Before they can train the threeapprentices to fight me here, they will be crushed totally. The funny thing isthat no one realizes they are in more danger in the past then in thepresent.” The Emperor laughed a loud andhorrible laugh that could be heard throughout the sanctum.

Enki did notsay anything until his master was quiet. He asked his Master, “What do you want me to do about the Asgards onEarth?”

“For now donothing. The Asgards have become very technical indeed. We need to get rid ofall the Jedi before we can deal with the Asgards and Earth. From what you havetold me a great many people of that planet are being trained as Jedi.”

“From what Ihave foreseen, their training will not be enough even for the Tok'ra. If myplans turn out as expected, it would not matter anyhow. The destruction that Iam putting throughout time will destroy even the Tok'ra of yesterday. If thatcan be done, my friend Bodo Bass will not be able to carry out his plans insacrificing himself into the Light-side of the Force. From that my initialplans in destroying that machine will come to pass.”

Enki asked,“Do you want me to travel back in time to help prevent the training of Emily,Ben, and Jack?

“Be patientmy friend. Let them do their futile gesture in training those apprentices. Itwill do them no good. What I have been planning for centuries have been placedinto motion, and will not be stopped!”

He paused fora moment and continued, “Just too easy your curiosity. I have set in motion inthat time will keep them busy and distracted from reaching their goals. Theywill all be trapped in that time forever. Whatever special training they canreceive from Master Thon and Master Vodo will not do them any good if theycannot come back to destroy me and my plans.”

Enki askedagain, “Then what do you want me to do Master?”

“I want yougo to the Goa'uld home world, and help out with the training of the Goa'uld.They are to become my Dark Jedi Knights. When the time comes, I will instructyou to lead them to Earth to destroy the Tok'ra and the Asgards on Earth. Youcan do what you like with the rest of the being on Earth. I want the Tok'ra andthe Asgards completely wide out. Now go my friend.”

Enkideparted.

**********

As the fiveof them finally got to their destination, and met Master Jedi Nomi Sunrider inperson, Brandon felt a strong disturbance in the Force.

Brandon said,“We better get going quickly. I feel danger approaching.”

Nomi replied,“I have been feeling it ever since I been here.” As they were about to come upto the Peacemaker, a large amount of monstrosities like creatures came afterthem.

Nomi replied,“These creatures could only be designed by Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma. Thesecreatures are empowered by Sith magic.

From thespecial abilities that Yoda has taught him, Brandon used the Force to turn theprojectile weapons that was flying towards them to attack the creatures thatthrough them. As quickly as the battlebegan, it ended. All the creatures were destroyed.

Sam thencommanded everyone to get on board. Sam then helped her friend Dentralla takeoff very quickly as the Peacemaker could.

After seeingMaster Jedi Brandon Bowers use the Force, Nomi understood the importance of thefive Jedi.

Nomi asked,“Master Brandon who taught you to use the Force like that?

“Master Yodataught me that, and a few other things. I am able to turn even laser fire ofany weapon, and turn it to any direction I choose, usually toward the one thatfired the weapon.”

Nomi smiled,“I have never seen any Jedi do what you have done.”

Nomi replied,“I can see why my Master Thon said that only you five are able to defeat theEmperor and his plans.”

Brandon toldNomi that Yoda is with us in a way.

Nomi replied,“I know that when a Jedi dies they are absorbed in the Force.”

Brandon said,“In a way, that is how Emily and Ben became Jedi.” He explained the whole thing to Nomi.

Nomi asked,“I wonder if the Emperor knows about what these two Jedi, Yoda and Jolinar, didfor Emily and Ben?”

Jackanswered, “I do not think he knows. If I were in his position, I would haveeliminated them on the spot. I think that he does know of Emily and Ben, butnot what special abilities they have. That is what will give us the tacticaladvantage.”

Nomicommitted, “Whatever the Emperor knows, he has gotten the Sith down on ushere.”

Brandonasked, “You mentioned Ulic as the one that created those creatures.”

Nomi's lipstightened for a few seconds, and then she told them of her love for Ulic. Nomialso told that he turned towards the Dark-side in a very sad tone.

Brandon camecloser to her and said gently to her, “I am sorry about that. If the Jedi dohave to fight him, I will take up that responsibility in defeating him.”

Nomi smile,“No, if I am confronted in stopping him, I will do it as I would any Dark Lordof the Sith. I have lost him already. He is not the one that I loved so longago. Maybe by ending his life from the Dark-side it will do more good for him.He was a good man before.”

After shesaid that, the two of them felt something about each other that they did notfeel before. They both thought it was just admiration. Nomi was impressed withBrandon's skills in the Force, and his desire to help her with the love sheonce had for Ulic.

Brandon wasimpressed with Nomi's courage to stand up to Ulic's path he took. What they didnot realized that their admiration will grow into some more.

Before ourJedi could even rest on board the Peacemaker, they were being attacked by spacepirates. Nomi used the Force to see who was attacking them. She angrily replied, “That fat worm. Boggathe Hut is using his henchmen to attack us.”

Nomi lookedat Sam and asked, “I hope that this ship of yours has fire capabilities?

Sam said,“The Peacemaker has two gun arrays. Since you know these lots, I would like foryou to help Jack in knocking them down while I help Dentralla maneuver us fromnot getting hit so much.”

Everyone tooktheir post and the dogfight began.

As Jack andNomi were fire at them, he asked her, “Are those Hutts smell as bad as they doin my time?”

“I have neverheard of a Hutt that did not.”

Whileeveryone was doing their job, Brandon got Emily and Ben to use the Force withhim in helping out with eliminating the pirates.

In about fiveminutes, the two ships that were attacking them were no more.

Brandon thenasked Nomi to contact Master Thon or Master Vodo about the two attacks onthem. Before she could do it, Samreplied out loud, “It is the Falcon.”

Brandon racedto the cockpit.

When he gotthere he heard Han talking. “Master Thon told me that you might get intotrouble. From what Chewie and I saw on long range sensors, you all took care ofit. We did not run into any trouble to get to you, but just in case Master Thonwanted us to escort you all to Ambria.”

Sam replied,“That sounds great. Good to see you again. The two Wookies communicated backand forth a bit, and Sam turned off the comlink of the ship.

Sam stated,“It looks like we are going to get there in one piece after all.”

Jackcommitted, “We have not arrived there yet.”

Brandonclosed his eyes and used the Force to see what was between them and Ambria. Heopened them and said, “I do not see anything in our way to Ambria. It lookslike the Sith here underestimated our abilities.”

“That answersour question about Emily and Ben. The Emperor does not know anything about whatYoda and Jolinar had done for them. If he did we would be getting more attacks,or the attacks we had would have been stronger.”

When theEmperor heard that Exar Kan and Ulic Qel-Droma had failed to dispose of theJedi, he got enraged. The Emperor used his dark magic on the amulets that theyhave been wearing since they became Dark Lords of the Sith. Exar and Ulic screamed in total agony overwhat the Emperor has done. Even though they have been tortured for a fewminutes, it felt longer. The two heard the last words of the Emperor before theHolocron communication went off. “DO NOT FAIL ME AGAIN! KILL THOSE FIVE JEDI!”

After gainingtheir composer, Exar and Ulic planned for another attack.”

Exar said toUlic, “Those five Jedi are more powerful than we thought. We need to know theirweaknesses, and exploit it. In the mean time, we need to constantly attackAmbria. We might be able to get those Jedi off of Ambria.”

Ulic had anidea. Since Nomi still has feeling for me, we might be able to turn her to thedark ways of the Sith.”

Exar said,“The Emperor wants no Jedi turned. He had been at that for many, many years.The only way to eliminate the Jedi of the Light is to destroy them, not turnthem. We have failed the Emperor once. As we have the complete power of theSith, we will not fail again. Those five Jedi will die.”

Ulic stated,“With Master Thon and Master Vodo protecting them, it will not be easy. How canwe attack them again?”

Exaranswered, “What we threw at them so far would have destroyed any average Jedi.We need to use the Sith magic to find their own weaknesses and exploit it.”

Ulic said,“How can we do that with Master Thon and Master Vodo protecting them? We havenever been able to use the Sith magic on them or against them.”

Exar frowned,“Even though what you say is the truth, we must do this if the Emperor's plansare going to destroy all Jedi even as far as the beginning. I decree that weshould summon all the dark followers together, and form the means of carryingout the Emperor's plans."

The two ofthem used all the available means to summon all the dark followers of theDark-side of the Force to them.

When theywere done, Exar said, “Now we wait for them to arrive. It will be some time forall of them to get here. The galaxy is very large. Until then my youngapprentice, we meditate on the dark power of the Sith to come up with a plan tocarry out the Emperor's plans for the Jedi. We will go out in history in beingthe ones who killed Master Thon and Master Vodo.”

**********

While waitingfor the Jedi to arrive on Ambria, Doctor Jackson was studying. He came acrosssomething very interesting. The documents that he was reading mentioned aboutthe Ubaids. The documents told about the history and the purpose of puttingthem in stasis:

“The Ubaidsare the special elite forces of the army of the Sith. These Ubaids are thefirst to start a different means of expanding the Goa'uld lifespan. TheseUbaids will invade a host body, and take it over. That body can be able to berejuvenated by the means of a sarcophagus device. This will enable the host tostay alive for as long as it can be rejuvenated.”

“After that,the symbiote can take another host of its choosing. These new spawn creaturesof the Sith will start a new life for the Sith. After these Ubaids worked asplanned, more symbiotes will be created by Sith magic. Only the Ubaids will bethe elite faction. The other Goa'uld symbiotes are a different spawn that willfurther the life of all Goa'uld throughout the galaxy. From that time forwardlet the Dark-side of the Force be forever!”

“These Elite factionof the Sith armies will have the strongest abilities of the dark magic. Thesefactions are not just mindless beings. They will have the capabilities to learnand grow as they conquer, and spawn more symbiotes.

The knowledgeof the each mother that bread the new Ubaid spawns will have the completeknowledge of what the mother possess. When more knowledge is learned, the newmother spawn will pass that to her offspring. This will give the Ubaids a greatdeal of power over their enemies, the Jedi Knights.”

“As timepassed, the Jedi Knights were able to get stronger in the Light-side of theForce, and fight off these Ubaids. These elite Sith spawns were not working tofull expectations. After great thought and meditation of the Dark-side of theForce, the Ubaids that were still alive were put in stasis. They would berevived by the Dark power at the proper time.”

The rest ofthe documents stated more of the technical means of putting the Ubaids in stasis,and how to revive them. The writings on that were written in a differentlanguage that Dr. Jackson could not read.

After readingthese documents, Daniel brought them to Master Thon and Master Vodo.

After readingthe documents, that Daniel shown them, Master Vodo said, “Thank you for yourbringing these documents to our attention. We will let Master Sam and MasterBrandon read these documents as well.”

“After theyread all what is in the Jedi archives, they will be able to put these Ubaidsback in stasis for good. Please continue with your research. What you are doingis very vital to all Jedi. The more us Jedi knows of the Ubaids and theEmperor's plans the better it will be for us to defeat him.”

When theMillennium Falcon and the Peacemaker arrived on Ambria, they were all greetedby Luke and the others. Master Thon told the arrivals what Daniel has found.

Master Thonsaid to Master Jedi Sam and Master Brandon, “While you two train your threeapprentices with our help, I want you two to constantly study over the Jediarchives. You two know very little of the Jedi past. In order for all of us toprotect it, we must all know about what we are protecting.”

Since Sam wasthe senior Master Jedi, she was the one that told Master Thon and Master Vodoabout the two attacks that they had since they left Ossus.

Master Vodoreplied, “As Nomi Sunrider has told you two of our Jedi has turned to theDark-side. They are now Dark Lords of the Sith. They are the only ones that cancreate those monstrosities that you all have encountered. They will no doubt try to attack us here onAmbria. We must be on the right path since the Emperor is going all out to destroyus all.”

He looked atEmily and Ben, “We will wait until morning to continue you Jedi training.”

Sam wanted totouch base with Luke.

Master Thontook the three Jedi Apprentices on a tour of the city. That left Nomi and Brandon tothemselves. Master Thon and Master Vodoplanned to have those two alone. They knew that the attraction they had foreach other would grow and become a very special. Nomi gave Brandon a privatetour of the city. As they walked, they talked and share more of themselves.

The two ofthem finally came to the Jedi Library. Nomi told Brandon, “Most of what was in the Library on Ossus was broughthere. Master Thon wanted you and Sam to read all that you can.

When theyentered into the Jedi Library, Brandon said, “It looks like we have a greatdeal to read. I suggest that you have Daniel Jackson in here. He has read agreat deal of old Jedi information on Coruscant of my time, and thisinformation here might help him understand not only what he has learned, but agreat deal more.

Nomi smiled,“Since Daniel found about the Ubaids and the Goa'uld, I would think my Masterwill have him in this library. Danieldoes have a gift in learning ancient things.”

Brandon toldNomi about Daniel an Ancient at one time.

Nomi wasamazed. All of SG1 must have the abilityto use the Force. It is amazing how allof them could achieve all they did.”

Brandonlooked at the grown for moment. When helooked up at Nomi, Brandon told about how Sam was kidnapped and put intoslavery. “Some time after, Luke foundher through the Force. My Master is thefirst Jedi of Earth, but she went through hell before she even knew of theJedi.”

Nomi saidsympathetically, “See how much you care for your Master, I see she has foundnot only a good apprentice, but a great friend.”

Brandonsmiled, “She is very special to me, and it is more than her training me to beEarth's second Jedi Knight.”

Nomi showedBrandon around the library and taught him the system the Jedi used to find thedocuments or whatever they are looking for in the library. It did not take longfor Brandon to learn the Jedi Library System, so Nomi continued the tour of thecity.

After thetour was finished she took Brandon to his living quarters, and showed him howto run the electronic equipment that was there. Then they sat in the livingarea, and continued talking about their lives to each other.

Their lovefor each other did grow. It grew faster than they expected. Before they knewit, the time flew past them. It had been night fall for several hours beforethey realized it. The bond that they had for each other was so strong that theycould not break away to get some sleep for tomorrow's training.

When Nomifinally went to her living quarter she could not stop thinking aboutBrandon. He was the same way about her.That night they both did not get hardly any sleep.

The nextmorning, it showed not only to themselves, but to the others.

Sam said toBrandon, “I see you two did not get any sleep.” She smiled at him and continued,“I do not have to use the Force to know why. I saw the attraction you two havefor each other while on board the Peacemaker.”

Brandonsmiled, “We do not just have an attraction for each other. We are starting tohave a great love for each other.”

Sam joked, “Idid not notice that.”

Brandonlooked at her as he did at the restaurant in Paris, France. “Smarty pants Jedi.”

All of themtrained the three Jedi Apprentices in their special way. Each Jedi Mastertaught them different ways to use the Force.

When Nomi andBrandon were finished with their training for the day, Master Thon got them tostudy on materials in the Jedi Library.

Thon wouldget Sam to study on the archives later. Again, Master Thon had them to worktogether not only to help mature their love for one another, but he knew thatthey as a team would be very helpful in fighting the Emperor and his plans.

As the days,weeks, and months went by Nomi and Brandon love did grow. Their knowledge ofthe Force from reading the information that the Jedi Library had for them grewas one.

They bondednot only in love for each other, but their bonding they had in the Force madetheir abilities become more powerful than anyone Jedi. It was a good thing thatthe Emperor could not foresee this in the dark power of Force. If he did hewould see his doom growing inside these two Jedi Knights.

**********

All of thefollowers of the Dark-side of the Force did finally arrive. When they did, thetwo Dark Lords revealed their plans in not only destroying the five JediKnights of their future, but also the complete demise of Master Thon and MasterVodo.

It would notbe an easy task. Even after months of meditation Exar and Ulic still wonderedif they could pull it off. Each and every time they meditated on this, theDark-side still gave them the same means in carrying out the completedestruction of all the Jedi on Ambria.

The DarkLords, job was to divide and destroy. If any group stayed together, the planswould fail. After what the Emperor did to them for their first failure, theysurely did not want to fail him again.

After tellingeveryone of the big plan in the destruction of the Jedi on Ambria, there weregreat conflicts on it. A great deal said it would not work, but no one couldagree on what would work. The argumentswent on for days. It seems to Exar and Ulic that the Emperor's plans would bedestroyed by their arguments.

All thesudden the room went quiet. It was the Emperor's dark magic that silenced everyone.By using the power from the amulets that Exar and Ulic had on them, every oneof them screamed in agony.

The Emperorspoke in a very loud voice, “QUIET ALL OF YOU! YOU WILL CARRY OUT MY PLANS OUT!THIS IS WHY YOU COULD NEVER CONQUER THE JEDI. YOU CANNOT MAKE A DECISIONWITHOUT ARGUING OVER IT TO DEATH. IF YOU ALL FAIL ME, I WILL DESTORY YOU WITHTHE JEDI. NOW DO WHAT YOU ARE TOLD TO DO!”

To reinstatehis anger, the Emperor allowed the amulets to cause them all enormous pain fornearly 5 minutes longer. When the Emperor stopped with torturing them, theynever argued over the plans that were laid out for them. The only thing theythought was not on the task at hand, but they did not want to go through thatsuffering ever again. It would be better to die in a futile battle with theJedi then to have the wrath of the Emperor on them.

It will takethem time to put together what they need to do in order to carry out the Emperor'splans. When they were ready to go, Exar commanded the first wave of the masterplan to go forth.

He wouldorder the second wave when the first one is completed and not before. Even now,Exar and Ulic did not believe they could carry this out. To keep the Emperorhappy, they kept it to themselves. Just the same, Exar could not help in seeingthe doom of the Sith, once again.

Chapter 9: Jack in Training

Sam stayedwith Jack until he woke up. When Jackdid wake up, he saw that Sam was sleeping in a chair beside him. He looked athis watch and saw that he had been sleeping for a little over 8 hours. Hestarted to sit up. Since Sam was using the Force to monitor Jack, she woke upas he started to move.

Sheimmediately looked at Jack. She smiled, “How do you feel?”

Jack smiledback and answered, “I feeling a lot better. I will feel even better if thosefood replicators can make Jell-O.”

Sam laughed.The others came in when Sam was laughing.

Brandon said,“It sounds like things are turning out good for you Jack.”

Ben asked,“What was so funny?”

Sam laughedmore on that question.

Sam finallyanswered, “Jack just wanted Jell-O to eat.”

The three didnot understand. Their expressions on their faces made both Sam and Jack laugh.

After theystopped laughing, Jack's Holocron glowed and Nomi came out.

She smiled,“It is good to hear you laughing Jack.”

Jack gave hera warm smile, “Thank you. I am feeling like myself. In fact I was telling Samabout what he wanted to eat.”

Nomi hadnever heard of that name before.

Sam smiled,and told Nomi about what Jack wanted.

Nomi replied,“We had something similar to what you described, but it was more of a sweetenergy food. We called it Jedi power treat. I can tell you how to program thefood replicators to make it.”

In hearingthat, Jack jumped out of bed and committed, “There is nothing like programmingthe replicators now.”

Sam lookedserious at Jack and said, “First you need to start on your Jedi training. Wewill do that later.”

Jack replied,“Let's do it then.” They all went to the training course that Nomi and theothers created so long ago.

As Jack wascarrying the Holocron cube, he asked Nomi, “Does Luke know about this coursethat all of you created?”

“You five arethe only ones that have set eyes on this training course since it was created.”Nomi smiled at Jack and said, “Do me proud Jack.”

Sam lookedseriously at Jack and said to Nomi, “He will. I will make sure of it.”

Jack frownedand said, “It is a good thing I had 8 hours of sleep.”

Sam gave adevilish smile, “You will need it today Jedi.”

Emily said toJack, “Ben and I will be with you in the Force as you train.”

Jack lookedat her, “I think I will need it.”

Jack startedwith the laser droid. To intensify his training, Sam got him to wear a blastshield helmet.

With thefirst few bouts with the droid, Sam had Emily and Ben help him.

On the nextbout, he did it on his own. He had no problems whatsoever.

Sam said,“You are doing great! I am going to set the difficulty level higher and higheach bout. See if you can keep up without Emily and Ben. After 10 differentbouts with the laser droid, Jack only got zapped three times.

Sam thensaid, “That is enough for now. When she took the helmet off of him, she gavehim a big smile and told him, “You are doing great. I want you to duel withEmily and then Ben.

Jack andEmily got in position and raised their lightsabers in front of each other.

Samcommanded, “Go!”

As Jack wasdueling with Emily, Ben used the Force to help Jack along. At first Jack was alittle shaky, but learned quickly. After all, Jack was fighting what Yoda hastaught Emily.

After duelingwith Emily, Ben walked up towards Jack. Ben turned on his lightsaber, and they started at Sam's command.

Jack did alittle better with Ben. Sam used the Force to tell Ben to do a special movethat he had learned from Brandon at the mansion. Brandon told Emily not to usethe Force to help Jack.

When Jack didnot feel the presence of Emily with him, he thought that he should concentrateon the Force more intensely. He made theright decision.

The Forceprepared him for the special move that Ben was about to use on him.

Jack stoodhis grounds, and handled Ben's special attack like a professional.

After thedueling was over between Jack and Ben, all of them congratulated Jack on hisability in using the Force.

**********

The Executorwas flying for a long time and Luke needed to get some rest before things gotinteresting.

Han saw thatLuke was getting tired, “Kid get some rest! We can handle flying this bucket.”

Luke smiledat him, “Thanks Han. I think I will. I am more concerned about our five Jedi onOssus then being sleepy.”

“Just lookingat you is getting me as tired as you look.”

Leia smiledat both of them. She knew those two always fussed without really being angry ateach other. She surmised that it was their way of releasing the frustration ofwhatever they were dealing with.

She walkedcloser to Luke, “When you get to your quarters, at least meditate of the Forceon those five Jedi. I genuinely believe that they need all the help they canget if we are going to defeat the Emperor this time.”

Luke smiledat her, and nodded. He left the bridge.

When Luke gotto his quarters, he did mediate of the Force. Luke got more from the Force thenjust the answers of those five Jedi. He got something that could change thewhole entire universe for all Jedi Knights. What Luke received from the Forcewas something from his past. Luke heard his father's voice.

AnakinSkywalker spoke his name, “Luke.”

Luke feltlike he was slammed against the wall.

Anakin spokeagain, “Luke, It is I, you father. Donot be alarmed my son. There are many things that are happening due to theEmperor's interference. Some are bad, and a good many are very good.

Rightnow all Jedi must deal with the plans of the Emperor. In time you all will seewhat I mean about the good side of all of this. I wished I could tell you all,but you first must learn other things that have to do with the Ancient Jedi.”

Therewas a great silence for several minutes before Anakin spoke again. He continued,“Luke I am here to warn you not to continue to your present course. It is atrap. There is no World Devastators. It is a ruse to get a great many Jedi tohim so he can destroy the main Jedi force.”

Lukethen thought of the five Jedi as possible sitting ducks on one planet. Anakin insurehim that they are safe on Ossus. “The five of them are heading back intotime. Master Thon, a Jedi long ago, isusing the cave they are in as a means of transporting them over 4,000 years inthe past. That way they can be safe from the Emperor as Jack, Ben, and Emilyare trained to be Jedi Knights. Jack is also getting help in dealing with hispast.”

Samtold Luke secretly about Jack's past dealing the accident of Jack's son. Luke said, “I am happy to hear that he isgetting help in that. What do you want be to do, father?”

Anakinanswered, “Go to the bleak desert world of Ambria my son. I have talked withThor. It was I that alerted Thor torescue the Executor before the old hyper drives went critical. I got him to addthe abilities for these new hyper drives to allow the Executor to travel intime. Once you get to Ambria, find Master Thon.”

“Oncethe five Jedi on Ossus arrive back in time, the Jedi that has been helping JackO'Neill, through a Holocron, will tell them the complete story that I amtelling you now. She will instruct themall to fly to Ambria to meet Master Thon, and all of you. Once you meet face toface with Master Thon and the others, he will tell you more about your Jediduties. I wished you had the time my son for me to talk with you more, but youdo need to get some rest.”

“Iwill talk with Leia, and tell her how to program the hyper drives to reachAmbria 4,000 years in the past.” After Luke's father finished speaking, Luke got up and went to bed asinstructed.

On the bridgeof the Executor, Leia heard a voice through the Force. She immediatelyrecognized who he was. In herexcitement, she blurted out, “Father!”

Han lookeddead straight at her with Chewie growling.

Anakin spokeagain, “Leia you do not have much time. You must do exactly as I ask of you.”

For Chewieand Hans’s sake she spoke out loud again, “I will do as you ask.”

As she wasdoing what was asked of her, Chewie and Han stayed out of the way quietly.

After Leiaprogrammed the hyper drive, Han politely asked Leia, “What was that all about?”

She walked toHan, and put her arms around his waist. She smiled and said, “Father told me toset a different course.”

She quietlywaited for him to asked, “Where?”

When he did,she answered, “To Ambria.”

Han lookedpuzzled for a moment. He finally asked, “What you did was a lot to go to aplanet?”

She smiled,“Thor made it possible for the hyper drive to be able to travel in time. We are traveling 4,000 years in the past.”

She explainedwhat her father had told her about what is going on with the Emperor, and whythey are going back in time.

When C3POheard all of what Leia said, he nearly overloaded his power couplings in worry.

Han, Leia,and Chewbacca looked at each other and smiled over C3PO worrying again.

Chewbaccaasked, “How long will it take us to get to Ambria 4,000 years in the past?”

Leiaanswered, “It will take a few days. Father said the Executor is a big ship, butit will still take her a few days journey. We will get there before the others.Father told that Master Thon is using the Force to bring them in time.”

Leia pausedfor a moment and said, “The Jedi that is with our five Jedi is helping Jackwith his past problem.”

All of themon the bridge knew about Jack and understood.

Anakin Solo,which was with then on the bridge, said, “I have felt great pain in him. I hopethat he will one day be rid of it. What happen was terrible. I hope that thisJedi Master, Nomi Sunrider, and the others will help Jack let go of the hurtthat has been with him so long.”

Han replied,“We all do Anakin. Jack is a good man.”

Han looked at Leia and continued, “I hope thathe will not end going over to the Dark-side on a count of it.”

**********

Mon Mothmahad a great many people talking to everyone on Earth. After most of the worldhas been informed, she then decided to get the Asgards to reinstate what hadbeen said, and what only they could contribute.

He spoke toeveryone by every means the Asgards had. With the Asgard's technology they madeit possible for everyone to hear it in their language around the world at thesame time. What Thor said was indeed very important. He told the worldeverything the Asgards knew of the Jedi to the present day. This is what hesaid:

“Ladies andgentlemen of the planet Earth, I am Thor the Supreme Ruler of the Asgards. I amhere on the behalf of the Asgard race to inform you about our relationship withthe Jedi over countless of years.”

“All the Jediand the Asgards had a very close relationship. Do to the Dark-side of the Forceand the recent events, the Asgards have been protecting Earth because of ourrelationship with the Jedi. A lot of you on Earth are being trained as Jedi.The Asgards will do everything in our power to protect Earth so that all of youcan become full Jedi.”

“Since we cancommunicate with Jedi of yesterday, I have personally had several conversationswith Bodo Bass and other Jedi. They have asked me to talk to you about our history.”

“First of allI want you to know that if it were not for dire need to tell you, I would not bedoing so. What I am saying to you might put everyone in jeopardy not only forEarth's survival, but all the Jedi, past, present, and future.”

“You heard mecorrectly. The Jedi's past is being threatened by Emperor Palpatine. When hewoke up the Ubaids, he deliberately caused time to intertwine as far as theJedi are concerned. Unfortunately everyone is affected by this time meddling.”

“As I speak,Master Luke Skywalker and his team are traveling through time to meet with theJedi over 4,000 years ago. The Emperor's time meddling has not gone any furtherthan that time period.”

“The Emperorhas been planning to take over the Universe ever since he has heard of theStargate. The Asgards has the technologies to shutdown the Stargate travel alltogether to keep The Emperor from taking over the Stargate. That leaves onlyhyperspace travel for the Emperor and his armies. He can still conquer theUniverse by that means, but it would be much easier for him to use theStargate.”

“The Asgardscannot use the Force. It is our technical capabilities that enable us to allowthe Jedi to talk to us no matter where they are in space or in time. Even theJedi that are dead and gone can use the Force to communicate with us. In fact,a Jedi contacted us by the name of Anakin Skywalker. As most of you know he wasDarth Vader. A short time ago, I wasinformed that the Luke and the ones that are running the Executor are travelingin time.”

“The Asgardshave been allies with the Jedi from the very beginning of the Jedi Order. Itwas the Asgards that helped pushed the followers of the Dark-side off theplanet they were one. At that time the followers of the Light-side of the Forcecalled themselves the Tok'ra and the followers of the Dark-side calledthemselves the Goa'uld.”

“The Ubaidsare the elite faction of the Goa'uld. The Ubaids are special trained Dark Jedi.Enki is one of these Ubaids. He and his followers are not on Earth anymore.That is why I decided it is safe to tell everyone on Earth about what I amsaying now.”

“The war withthe Light and the Dark-side went on for years and years. Emperor Palpatinesacrificed himself into the machine that made what the Dark-side of the Forceis today. When the ancient Tok'ra heard of this, Bodo Bass did the same thing.He not only saved the machine that created the Light-side of the Force, butsaved the whole Jedi Council of that era.”

“The Jediknew that they had to run off the ancient Goa'uld. They could not have donethis without the Asgard's help. Unfortunately many of the Asgards died in theprocess. We had to let the Jedi fight on alone defeating the ancient Goa'uld.”

“When theEmperor came back in the flesh through cloning, we helped the Jedi from notbeing completely destroyed shortly after the Clone Wars.”

“Ourtechnology has improved dramatically since then. We are now able to fight offany thing that the Emperor throws at Earth. When Earth is trained and ready tofight, the Emperor's plan will be smashed. The Asgards will do all we can inhelping Earth in getting ready for whatever happens. I thank you for your timein hearing me.”

**********

It has been aweek and four days since our five Jedi have been on Ossus.

Jack has beenlearning to stop punishing himself over what happen to his son with the help ofNomi Sunrider and the two young Jedi. As far as the three Jedi training isgoing, they are doing better than expected.

Jack strongability in the Force is to see the true nature of things. With the Force Jackcan see through all the false images that people use to hide behind, or evenall the lies that people use to confuse their enemies.

The more Jackhad learned from the Force the more he can see the truth behind any obstacle asif it was calling out to him. All Jedi can use the Force in this matter. Jackhas the ability to do a much better job.

When he keepson learning more on the use of the Force, he will be able to see even past anyshielding that the Dark-side can offer. Without knowing it, Jack has been usingthis ability with the Force while with the SGC.

One day whenall of the five Jedi were together, Nomi Sunrider told them all what had beengoing on since they been on Ossus.

Sam asked,“How can one Jedi be able to use the Force to take us back in time?”

Nomianswered, “From my knowledge no Jedi can use the Force to travel or move thingsthrough time. I believe it is the instability of what the Emperor has unleashedthat has allowed Master Thon to pull you in the past. It is the technology ofthe Asgards that brought the Executor to us.”

Jackcommitted “To us!”

Nomi smiledand said, “Yes, I am alive. The Holocron is the creation of the Asgards. Itallows the Jedi to communicate with the Asgards since they can never use theForce. I have been using the Force to communicate with you by the use of yourHolocron.”

Brandon askedNomi, “How long will it take Master Thon to bring us to where ever we areheaded?”

Nomianswered, “You and your ship will arrive at the same planet of Ossus, in a dayor two. I will then be able to be with you in the flesh because I am already onOssus as we speak. We will then fly to Ambria to meet with the others.”

Brandon againasked another question, “What is the reason that we are going backwards intime?”

Nomi pausedfor a moment before answering. “All of you are very strong in the Force. WhenMaster Thon realized what Emperor Palpatine has done, he knew that you fivewould be the only hope to finally defeat the Emperor's plans, and make surethat he does not do this ever again. What I fear is that Emperor has donealready will eventually destroy all Jedi as far back as the beginning of theJedi Order.”

“The onlyones that will be protected from this disaster are the followers of theDark-side and the Goa'uld. If his plans are not stopped, time will not be asyou know it. You three in training have reached expectations. With what MasterThon and Master Vodo can teach you from there, all five of you will be able todeal with the Emperor's plans in your time.”

Sam said,“Luke has told us that reading the information from the Library will help usdefeat the Emperor. Can we walk outside of this cave, and go to the JediLibrary now?”

“No. It isthe cave, and the ship that are traveling through time. The reason for nottelling you about your time travel when we first met, We have heard from Thorthat the ancient Goa'uld Enki has left Earth.”

Jack asked,“How could he do that. I thought that the Asgards could monitor all trafficcoming in and out of Earth Solar System?”

“That is whatis worrying us. The Asgards could not find any means of transport device thatEnki could have used. Master Vodo believes that Enki and the others have theability to travel in time. Since Master Vodo committed this to Thor, theAsgards have been monitoring all time anomalies in Earth's galaxy.”

Jack said,“If Enki has not been able to be found since we first met him, it is possibleThor scarred him off from Earth.”

Samcommitted, “Nomi please tell both Master Thon and Master Vodo that Enki couldbe in your time as we speak. If that is so, our training to be able to fightthe Emperor, and destroy his plans might be challenged in ways not expected.”

Nomi replied,“That is why my Master has brought Master Luke Skywalker and the others. MyMaster has told me that they are securing Ambria, and should have it completelysecured before you arrive to me in person.”

Sam stated,“I hope it will be enough. I heard that the Executor is a powerful ship, but Iwonder if it is enough to hold Enki and the rest of the Goa'uld.”

Beforetelling them to continue with the training Nomi said, “Master Vodo told me totell all of you should not to be concerned about the security end. There aremore to help Luke and the others. Your two are responsible in training Emily,Ben, and Jack.”

Brandonthanked Nomi for sharing this information with them. The five of them continuedwith the Jedi training.

Chapter 8: Dealing with Jack’s Past

2006-09-12T18:21:00.000-07:00

Chapter 8: Dealing withJack's Past

While onboard the Peacemaker, Emily and Ben went to Jack. When Emily and Ben came up to him in hisquarters, Jack did not have to use the Force to understand why they were there.

Jack justthe same smile and asked them, “What can I do for you two?” Even though Emilysaw the images that the Force showed, she still asked Jack to tell the wholestory of what happen. Before he started, he felt the support of the two of themin the Force.

Jack saidas he looked at them both, “A parent should not out live his own child. I blamemyself not just because it was an accident, but I blame myself because I couldhave prevented that from happening. I do not know if I can forget it, norforgive myself for it.”

Since Emilyknew she was about the same age of Jack's son, she came to him closer, and puther hand on his. She said, “You should never forget the love you had for him.In fact you still do. That why it is hard for you to forgive yourself. It isthat love that will help you become that great Jedi that Bodo Bass has stated.You are not alone my dear friend.”

After whatshe said to him, tears came down from his eyes. The three of them hugged eachother. While they were hugging each other, Sam walked in. The two young Jedilooked at Jack and smiled. The two left.

Jack driedhis face as Sam walked over to sit beside her husband. She just sat therequietly until he spoke. When Jack didfinally did speak, he said, “We were talking about my experience with the Forcein what happened with my son.”

Sam did notsay anything. She just gave him a hug. Jack knew what was on her mind. He said,“I need all of your help in dealing with this, so I can go on with not only myJedi training but for my life.”

Sam saidvery calmly, “We will Jack. A Jedi is never alone. It took all of you to helpme deal with my past. We will help you in dealing with yours. Sam then gave himanother hug. As they were hugging, Jackstarted to cry again.

As Emilyand Ben were walking down the corridor of the Peacemaker, they ran into theiruncle.

Brandonsaid to them, “I am proud of you two in going to Jack by yourselves in helpinghim deal with this part of his life. What Sam has told me about Charlie, Jackneeds you two. The Force has told me that what we will find on Ossus will helpJack go forward, and become a great and powerful Jedi.”

Benreplied, “It is not the event that happen is what holding him back. He told usthat he blame himself because he could have prevented that from happening. Oncehe can let go of the blame of what did happen, then he will be able to turn thewhole event around to his advantage.”

Brandonsaid to them both, “Until we land on Ossus, I want you two to be at Jack's sidein helping him reach that goal. You have both broke the ice with Jack's past.It will take more to help him remove the barrier he has created over theyears.”

Emily andBen closed their eyes and used the Force to let Jack know that they will staywith him. The only thing Jack responded with was a thank you. He also said withthe Force, “I will need your help. You have done a great service so far.”

Sam usedthe Force. “Come back to our quarters. I want you three to meditate onthe Force on this matter until we finally arrive on Ossus.”

The twoyoung Jedi did as they were told.

When theygot there, they both gave Jack two big warm smiles. He returned their smileswith his own.

Ben toldSam and Jack what Brandon said about the Force telling him that there is somethingthat will help Jack deal with his past.”

Jack raisedhis eyebrows and said, “May be that is why the Force revealed to me this planet.”

Samcommitted, “That could be. Time will tell. It always does.” Sam then left the three to be alone together.

Since Emilywas about Jack's son's age, she did most of the talking at first. Both Emilyand Ben thought it would be best for Jack to face the age of his son so Jackcan feel more comfortable in communicating with them about what happen.

Emily said,“With the Force, I would like for you to share this part of your life with usas we mediate in the Force.”

Jack wasstill very scared in doing this, but he knew it had to be done. It did helpJack when Emily stated, “Jack we are now you family. It is all right to sharewith us about what happened.”

For thefirst time since they were aboard the Peacemaker, Jack gave a genuine smile. Asthey were meditating on the Force, Jack shared his memories with his two youngJedi.

**********

Back onEarth, Mon Mothma was dealing with the organization on the communication effortswith Earth. Since she did not know that much about the Goa'uld, she communicatedwith the SGC a great deal.

As she wasending her conversation with General Davis, a big flash of white light came afew feet in front of her. It was Thor that appeared.

Thor said,“I am here to talk to you on the behalf of Master Jedi Luke Skywalker.”

Thor toldher what Bodo Bass has said to the five Jedi. Thor also told her where the fiveJedi were heading. “Please do not talk to Earth about where these Jedi willbe. There are on their own. Jack O'Neill and the young Jedi must completetheir training. I am telling you thisjust in case you need to contact them for emergency reasons.”

Mon Mothmareplied, “I understand. What about families of these Jedi?

“After I amfinished here with you, I will tell them myself. I want you to have Earth toldabout what Bodo Bass had said. Thisinformation is very important. Earthsurvival could hang in the balance. Thequicker you can tell everyone on Earth about this the better.”

Mon Mothmaagreed “I will contact all the informants about this information. Please feelfree to contact me when you have other information you think I should know.”

Before Thorleft he stated, “The Asgards are ready to do their part in informing Earth.Please contact us when you are ready for us.”

Thor thenvanished and arrived at the mansion. He was able to talk with the families ofthese special Jedi in private. “I havetold Mon Mothma this as well. Princess Leia is with Luke on the Executor. Itwill be Mon Mothma that will be organizing things on Earth. Please feel free totalk with her.”

Jerryreplied, “We are very close to Mon Mothma. We should have no problems in communicatingwith her. The only thing we can do for our Jedi family is to constantly prayfor their safety and abilities to complete their duties.”

“It isgreat that you are holding strong. Do not think that because you all are notJedi Knights that you cannot have a big impact on what will come to pass. Yourexperience of what you have been dealing with will help make a difference asfar as Earth is concerned. Before I leave you all, I want to say that theAsgards will watch after you while your Jedi family is away.” Thor vanished.

Shortlyafter Thor left, Mon Mothma called. It was Jerry that answered the phone.“Jerry I am calling to let you know that I am here for you all. If there isanything you need, please let me know.”

Jerry toldher that Thor came over.

Mon Mothmareplied, “Since they are in training, I do not think they will be communicatingwith any of us for a long time. I know that it will be hard for all of you.”

“We will befine. We are busy here at the mansion in helping out with the Jedi traininghere. The best of our friends that we have made while on Coruscant are herewith us. They have done their part in communicating with Earth, and they wantto stay with us.”

Mon Mothmasaid, “It pleases me that you have someone to socialize with. Just the sameplease do not hesitate to contact me if you need to.”

Jerry saidhis goodbyes, and hanged up the phone.

Christi wasright there listening.

Christismiled and said, “I am very happy for them. I have seen their excitement whenthey were being trained by Brandon. They have done great things in helpingdestroy the Death Star, and I know in my heart that they will do more greatthings in the near future.”

“Leia hastold me that she felt in the Force that Jack will become a great Jedi. Since hewill be training with those two, the five of them will become one powerfulteam.”

Jerrystated, “I know. That is why I am not worried one bit. Once Brandon told methat he was being trained as a Jedi, I knew that his life and ours were goingto turn out for the better. After hearing what Thor told us, I was about to hitthe roof with excitement. It was hard to compose myself, but I managed.”

Christireplied, “I knew that this sort of thing would have happen in some form or another.I was about to get bored in waiting to hear about it.”

They bothcontinued in their responsibilities in helping the Jedi trainees there. Bothfamilies of these Jedi thought as long as they were helping out with the Jedion Earth, they were helping the five Jedi on Ossus.

**********

After a fewhours, the Peacemaker finally landed on Ossus.

After theyall put their feet on the soil of Ossus, Jack felt a strong calling of theForce. They all followed Jack. They ended up at the Library that Luke told themabout.

When theyall entered into the Jedi Library, Jack found what was calling him. It was aHolocron. It was a special Holocron. It had Jack O'Neill's name on it. Puzzledby his name on it, Jack was about to picked up the cube.

By histouch, the Holocron came to life. It revealed a holographic image of an adult female.She said, “Hello Jack O'Neill. I am Nomi Sunrider, a Jedi Knight many centuriesago. With a smile on her face shecontinued, “Please do not be alarmed in me knowing you. My Jedi Master Thon hadtold me about you.”

“At first Idid not know why, but when I one day used the Force to find more about you, Irealized why my Master told me about you. Before I became a Jedi, my husband Andur Sunrider was brutally murderedby a Hutt. It was not over with. I had to use his lightsaber to protect mychild, Vima. When I first was trained by Master Thon, I did not want to haveanything to do with a lightsaber.”

“Jack, withthe help of all that are with you, I will help you deal with the loss of yourson. As you were meditating in the Forcewith Emily and Ben earlier, I felt your sorrows of that event. Master Nomi Sunrider paused for a moment tolet Jack collect what she said. She continued, “Yes Jack, this is not a simplerecording. It is me, Master Jedi Nomi Sunrider. A simple recording could nothelp you deal with your past.”

Master JediBrandon Bowers asked her, “Do you want to talk with Jack privately?”

Nomipondered the question, “For the time being, yes. For the rest of my dealingswith Jack O'Neill, I would like for Emily and Ben to join us.”

Everyoneleft except for Jack.

When theywere alone, Jack said, “I thank you for your help. I did not think that a Jedicould see that far into the future.”

Nomireplied, “With the Force, anything is possible. A Jedi cannot do everything,but what a Jedi can do with the Force can make a Jedi very powerfulindeed. She became quiet for a momentand then said, “Jack the reason for wanting to help you in your life is thatyou remind me a great deal what I went through with Andur's Death. With theForce, I have become a great Jedi. You will one day become a great Jedi.”

Jack said,“There is a difference in my son's death and Andur's. You were not the one responsiblefor it. I was the responsible for my son's death. To me it was like I pulledthe trigger.”

“That iswhat you have believed, but you know that many of people have accidentallyinjured or even killed themselves by guns even though the owners have handledthem as they should. If you have put the gun up in a more secure place, andyour son still got a hold of it, you would still blame yourself for at leasthaving the gun.”

What Nomisaid made Jack think. She let him thinkabout it for just a few minutes, “It is now time for you to stop punishingyourself, and live the here and now. The reason for me not wanting to havenothing to do with a lightsaber, after Andur died, was my guilt in the death ofthose that killed him. “I knew it wasself defense, but I had never killed anyone before. It was the Force that gaveme courage as it will for you.”

Jackreplied, “I know. Emily and Ben have been very helpful in helping go forwardwith this. As I told Sam, I need help with this. I cannot do it alone.”

Nomi said,“You will not be alone with this Jack O'Neill. Just the same you are a lotstronger then you realize. You are already a Jedi. “You now know that when you visualized thefuture in seeing Sam at the Stargate when SG1 finally caught up with her, youknew that you would become a Jedi.”

Jackstated, “That is very true. When my vision came true, I knew that I hadsomething special. When I heard about the Jedi Knights, I knew that I wouldbecome one in time.”

Nomi smiledat him. You had your vision many light years away from Earth. How is thatdifferent from me in seeing you in your time?”

Jack forthe first time smiled. “It does not.”

Aftercontemplating there is hope for him after all, Jack asked, “Master Sunrider,what do I need to do in order for to stop punishing myself as I have been?”

Nomianswered, “This will take time. With the help of the others, you will learn tostop punishing yourself as simply as you learned to punish yourself.”

SuddenlyJack felt fear and dread come over him. In the past he was able to control it,but with the recent events, he could not. It was Nomi use of the Force thathelp Jack take control.

Finallyreaching control, he thanked Nomi for her help. Jack said, “I see that I am not a strong as I thought.”

Nomireplied, “You are Jack. I was the same way. With Master Thon's help, I made it.Over the many years, you have built up a lot of grief that I would have done ifI were in your position. Master Thon knew I would be the one to help youthrough your time of need. Once you allow all those negative emotions to leaveyou body, you will understand your full potential. Do not think that you arethe only one that goes through hard times like this.”

“I havesaid enough for now. No Jedi was made in one day. Before I go Jack, I want youto take this Holocron that I have given to you. Keep it with you at all times.Now it is time for you to be with the others. Farewell Jack O'Neill.”

After shevanished and the Holocron did not glow any longer, he picked up the Holocron,and put it in a bag that he had hooked to his belt. Jack then joined theothers.

When Jackcame out, he looked a little worn out, but he did give everyone a smile. Hesaid, “I think I will make it, but it will not be easy.

Brandontold Jack, “By yourself, you can never handle your problems. With all of ushelping you Jack, you will make it. When all of you help me out from mysituation of not getting a simple job, I was able to have a lot more than Icould possibly imagine. For that I will be always grateful. I am always in allof your debt. The least I can do for you my dear friend is to do my part inhelping you get through what you have been through.”

Jack replied,“That what Master Sunrider said to me before she left. She said to me, “Do notthink that you are the only one that goes through hard times as this.”

Emilycommitted, “When they kidnapped us and put us into the Death Star, it was veryscary for all of us. What made Ben and I seem strong was our views towards ouruncle. Ben and I knew that we would make it. I think because of our faith inour uncle that allowed Yoda and Jolinar to help us become Jedi. The point isJack, we did not act alone. You will not be alone now, or any time in thefuture.”

At thattime Emily used the Force to allow Jack to feel he was not alone. Since theyhave been on board the Peacemaker, Jack realized what Emily was doing forhim. Jack gave her a big smile and said,“Thank you, thank you very much.”

The five ofthem walked around the area to check out their surroundings. There was not muchon technology lying around, but Luke told them they will have all they need tosurvive during the Jedi training.

At firstSam was wondering if what Luke was telling them had been move or taken, thenthey found a mouth of a cave that was not easy to see even when up close. Whenthey came up to the opening of the cave to go in, an invisible force kept themfrom entering.

It was Jackthat felt the summoning of his Holocron.

He took itout, and Nomi Sunrider appeared. She told Jack and the others that no one canwalk into the cave unless they knew how to do it.

She toldthem what to do. “Concentrate on the living Force as you walk in.” They all fully concentrated on the livingForce, and they walked in. As they walked through, Jack's Holocron turned intoa large source of light. It was very handy that it did. It was no light at alluntil they walked a good distance into the cave. There they found what Luke wastelling them.

The cavehad all they needed. It had food replicators, small land speeders, differenttypes of tools, and other handy items that they can all use during their stay.

Since Nomiwas still showing herself, Sam asked her, “How did all of these things gethere?”

“Most ofthe tools and small items have been on Ossus during my time. The land speederand food replicators been placed by Luke Skywalker.”

Nomi waveher hand, and a large portion of the decorated wall disappeared. Nomi told everyone that this was a Jeditraining area that Ulic Qel-Droma, Cay Qel-Droma, and herself created over fourmillennia ago. “You five will be the first Jedi to use it. Unfortunately the Dark-side kept us Jedibusy. It was I that put the force field around the opening of the cave when Irealized that you all will come. I had to protect this place for all of you.”

Jackreplied, “We all thank you for it. If this Emperor knew we were coming here,then he would have gotten someone to destroy this cave.”

Brandonlooked at Nomi, “Once we deal with the threat of the Emperor and the Ubaids, wewill make it possible for all Jedi to be trained here.”

Nomireplied, “If that can be done, I would be in your debt Brandon.”

As they allcontinued to explore training area, they were indeed amazed on how it wascreated. The place was very large, and the training course was indeed verydetailed. It was designed for all levels of Jedi training.

Samcommitted, “Nomi I promise you that we will have every Jedi Apprentice hereusing this training facility, even if we have to use the Asgards to help us.”

Nomi lookedsurprised. “You know of the Asgards?”

Sam smiled,“Yes we do. If it was not for the Asgards, we would not have been able todefeat the Goa'uld as much as we have. They have a security blanket aroundEarth as we speak.”

Jackcommitted, “Thor is a great pal of mind.”

Nomi juststood there in amazement. “I did not think that the Asgards could reach thatfar to Earth.”

Jack said,“It was by accident that we did make contact.” Jack told her about how he and he alone made the first contact with theAsgards.

Nomi closedher eyes for a few seconds and then opened them. “You were Force sensitive evenduring that time. Your sensitivity of the Force enabled you to make thatjourney to the Asgards that day. It was due to your strong abilities of theForce that allowed Earth to have the Asgards as allies.”

Sam said,“All this time, I thought it was the knowledge of the Ancients that allowedJack to do all that he did.”

Nomireplied, “The knowledge that was put into Jack's mind was indeed very useful,but it was the Force that allowed him to use that knowledge. If it was any ofthe other SG1 members that got the knowledge of the Ancients, they would nothave been able to even live. Since youare very power with the Force, you might have done the same as Jack. I have no way of telling for sure.”

“It was theForce that kept Jack from dying right after the knowledge of the Ancients wasput into his mind. It was the Force that allowed him to give your Stargate theproper energy to send him to the Asgard's home world.”

Jack asked,“What would have happened to me if the Asgards did not remove this knowledge?”

Nomianswered, “It would have destroyed you. The Force cannot do everything, but itcan do a lot.”

Ben said,“We have been experiencing a great bit already. It was Jolinar of Malkshurthat. . .”

Nomigasped. She asked, “How do you know about Jolinar of Malkshur?”

Samexplained the entire story to Nomi Sunrider.

After whatSam said to her, Nomi was speechless for a moment. Nomi finally made herself speak. “You allhave indeed been dealing with the history of the Jedi.”

Sam smiled,“I know. It has been amazing. It will be very interesting to know more of the ancienthistory of the Jedi.”

Nomi thenlooked at Jack. “You have seen the wonders of the Jedi history, and have beenunited with the Jedi throughout your life. I hope that this can allow you tosee there is a bright light for you at the end of your dark tunnel. You willmake it Jack. Again, it will take time, but you will climb out of your sorrowsas I have with Andur.”

Even withall the help that everyone has done in helping him, what Nomi just said madeJack realize the importance in letting go of what had happen to his son. Itgave him profound energy to fight this trap that he alone put himself throughover the years. He nearly felt like a new person.

Since Emilyhad been using the Force to monitor Jack's emotions since he walked out of theJedi Library, she felt this empowerment in him. She also knew that Jack wouldalso go into a relapse state just as quickly. Jack could not get over years ofguilt over what happen those many years that easily.

Aspredicted, Jack fell to his knees. The emotional relapse took the energy out ofhim for a moment. Right before Jack fell. Emily closed her eyes and used allher ability in using the Force to give Jack her support. Nomi was also givingher support as well.

It took aminute or two for Jack to compose himself. He looked at Emily and Nomi andsaid, “Thank you.”

Sam said,“I think that you need to get some rest. You have been through a lot today. Samasked Nomi, “Is there any resting quarters?”

Nomianswered, “Yes. I will give you all a tour of the place after Jack gets someneeded rest.” Nomi gave the instructions to get to where Jack needed to be.When they finally got there, Sam helped him on the bed, and used the Force toput him to sleep.

Chapter 7: Jedi Knights’ Past, Present, and Future

2006-09-12T18:20:00.000-07:00

Chapter 7: Jedi Knights' Past, Present, and Future

For a fewminutes everyone was quiet. They all knew that they will have their hands fulluntil they find away to put an end to the Emperor's evil plans.

Luke finallybroke the silence. He said, “Before we deal with the Emperor again, we need togather more help. I will contact Mon Mothma on Earth. For the time being Ben and Emily needs tokeep up with their Jedi training. That even includes you Jack.”

“Jack I seethat you can be a great Jedi yourself one day. Sam I believe that you should bethe one to train Jack. I know that you stated that you will train your father,but he can resume his training on Earth. I know that we will need every Tok'raas Jedi Knights before we are through with this whole mess.”

After Lukegot through speaking, all five of them went to the training room on board theship.

As they werewalking to the training area, Brandon did not have to use the Force to see thatBen, Emily, and Jack had their minds on what was being said on the bridge ofthe Executor.

When theyreached their destination, Brandon suggested that they all meditate on theForce on the events. They all sat in a circle with their legs crossed. Brandon had his eyes closed. “Remember, trynot. Do or do not, there is not try. Open you mind and concentrate on theliving Force. Ben and Emily you were able to contact me on the cruise ship at avery long distance. You must use that same concentration here now and anytimeyou use the Force. Everyone must concentrate without distractions.

After a shorttime through the Force, they heard a voice. It said, “Welcome all. I have been expecting you since the beginning of the JediOrder. Welcome Master Jedi Brandon Bowers, welcome Master Jedi Sam O'Neill,welcome Jedi Apprentice Ben and Emily Aaron, and welcome Jedi Apprentice JackO'Neill.”

“I amthe one that sacrificed himself into the machine of the Light-side of theForce. My name is Bodo Bass. The reason for me being the gatekeeper of the JediHolocron is that I am the keeper of the Light-side of the Force. I am talkingto you now because I know of what has been happening with all of you lately.You are right Master Jedi Brandon Bowers. The Emperor is the Dark-side of theForce as I am the Light-side of the Force.”

“Whenthe first Jedi Council found out that the Emperor sacrificed himself into the machinethat is now called the Dark-side of the Force, we knew that one of us had to dothe same in order to protect the Light-side of the Force.”

“MasterJedi Sam O'Neill you are correct in stating that both machines cannot be destroyed.Neither I nor the Emperor can die. We are the Force.”

Becausewe are both inside these machines, the Force is more powerful than originallydesigned. All Jedi Knight dark or the light together protects the Force frombeing destroyed. That is why the Emperor wants to destroy all Jedi Knights. Byawakening all the Ubaids, the Emperor has the power to carry that task out. Asyou all five know that they are ancient Goa'uld. These ancient Goa'uld are fully masters ofthe Dark-side of the Force. A great many of the Goa'uld of today are beingtrained as Dark Jedi Knights.”

“Thebattles that are to come are more destructive than the last encounter with theEmperor. Yes his true name is indeed Emperor. He was an Emperor before he sacrificedhimself in the Dark-side of the Force. He separated from the Jedi Order becausehe wanted to control and conquer the galaxy. With the Stargate, he has theability to conquer the Universe.”

“Formany years there has only been one Force. The Force was not as powerful as itis today. For the longest time, Jedi Knights could only use it within theconfines of the Jedi Sanctum. As theJedi Order grew, we had to widen the range of the Force. It stretched out ontothe entire city where the Jedi Order was located. It was then that Palpatinehad thought of evil schemes to want to control and conquer the galaxy.”

“Whenthe Jedi Council found out about his evil desires, they kicked him and his followersout of the Jedi Order. Palpatine became an Emperor shortly after they werekicked out. A few years later hedesigned and built the machine which is now the Dark-side of the Force. Once weknew of his plans we did everything we could to protect the city.”

“Fromthat point on, there were two factions of Jedi. We called ourselves the Tok'ra,and they called themselves the Goa'uld. Emperor Palpatine caused endless war onthe Tok'ra. It lasted for many, many years.”

“Therewere so many innocent people getting killed that we had to move away. We didnot want to leave one Goa'uld behind, so we took them with us by force. We alsomade sure that they could never come back.”

“Boththe Tok'ra and the Goa'uld knew that the machines that allow the Force to bepossible had to be protected at all cost. It was the Emperor that sacrificedhimself first. Once we knew that he did, we knew that our machine was in veryserious danger. Emperor Palpatine could easily destroy the Light-side of theForce.”

“Afterlong discussions with in the Jedi Council, I decided that I should be the oneto sacrifice myself. We all found out later that it was the best choice. Rightafter I entered the Force, Emperor Palpatine used all the power of theDark-side to attack the Light-side. It took all that I had to protect not onlythe entire Jedi Council, but the machine that produced the Light-side of theForce.”

“Aftermany more years of fighting the Goa'uld, I decided that the Tok'ra had to beshielded from the Force until one day they will be needed once again as JediKnights. The only ones that knew of ourpast were the Asgards. They had shared some of the Jedi history with you andEarth.”

“Nowyou five are the only hope for the Jedi Knights. You five cannot do it alone.It will take every Master Jedi of today, the Tok'ra, and everyone that is beingtrained as a Jedi. Right now you twoMaster Jedi must complete the training of Emily, Ben, and Jack. In the future I will be talking with all ofyou again, but for the time keep up with your Jedi training.”

After BodoBass finished speaking, all five open their eyes. Brandon spoke, “We need totalk with Luke and the others, right now!” When the five of them got to the bridge they saw the Solo children withHan and Leia. Luke explained that they arrived on board 30 ago.

Sam askedLuke, “How long had it been since we left.” Luke looked a little confused andanswered, “Several hours. Why are you asking?”

It wasBrandon that told all that the five of them experienced while mediating in theForce. At first Luke did not sayanything. Shortly after, he showed a grin. “Jack I felt that you are capable of being a great Jedi, but I did notrealized that you would be that great of one.”

Jack smiled,“Who would have guessed?”

Leia said,“Until Luke told me that I was his sister, I did not think that I was even ableto use the Force. If Bodo Bass said that you will become a great Jedi, withtraining, then you will. Sam will be a good teacher for you.”

Sam saidjokingly, “Do not think that me being you wife will let you off easy. I trainedBrandon hard, and I will train you hard as well.”

Brandon saidto Ben and Emily, “I believe that after what we heard from Bodo Bass, yourtraining will be heightened as well.”

As he lookedat his Jedi Master, he continued talking, “In fact, I think that both Sam and Ishould be training all three of you. That way you can have the same level oftraining.”

Sam replied,“I completely agree with you.”

Jack smiled,“Where and when do we three start?”

Luke said,“You will be training on board the Executor. We will be moving out of orbit ina few hours.”

Sam said, “Asfor the when, I say right now.”

The threeJedi Apprentices bowed to Luke, and walked out the door of the bridge. Brandonsaid, “After you Master.”

Sam smiled,“Thank you my Padawan.”

Sam andBrandon bowed towards Luke, and departed themselves.

After theyall left, Leia quietly went to Luke's side and committed, “It looks like wehave a big deal on our hands with the Emperor back in business. I think youneed to talk with Mon Mothma about what Bodo Bass has said to them. Earth needsto know the dangers, and hopefully be prepared for it.”

Luke lookedat her peacefully and smiled, “You are right. I will contact her, and have hercommunicate what Bodo Bass said. I will even talk with Thor. Since they are theancient Jedi's closest ally, they should be told. They can share what they know about theJedi's history more to the public and the Jedi of today. We indeed have ourhands full. I hope we can be able to win the battles yet to come.”

Leia said,“With those five, I cannot see us doing otherwise.”

Leia lookedat C-3PO. She looked serious so that the gold droid can understand the importanceof what she was about to ask of him. “C-3PO I want you to the best of your programming to record everythingthat you come in contact from this day forward. Do you understand what I amasking?”

C-3PO answered,“Yes Princess Leia I do. Do you want me to file what Bodo Bass has said to thefive Jedi?”

Lukeanswered, “Yes. Also file all that we have said in response. If you need to usethe ship's data banks to download your memory of the events, please do. I amsure that you will in time need to do that to continue to record the events.”C-3PO complied with his demands. “Ihave a larger memory bank than they realize. I have recorded all that had happen to Anakin Skywalker and Sam CarterO'Neill. I believe Earth is a planet toremember in many years to come.”

SuddenlyLeia's eyes widen. A perfect idea came to her. She asked Luke, “Before we take off, why don't you go to our galaxy andpick up Sam's ship, the Peacemaker.”

Luke smiled,“It was picked up before the Executor was brought here. I thought it might comein handy. I knew that those five will have their own separate duties evenbefore I knew about Bodo Bass. It looks like they surely will need thePeacemaker now.” Leia smiled and gaveLuke a big hug for doing that for Sam.

After a fewhours the Asgards had the hyper drive ready for them. After Thor told Luke thatthey can take off from Mars' orbit at anytime they wish, Luke told them whatBodo Bass has said.

Thor wasquite for a few seconds and reinstated that what Bodo Bass has told them wasthe complete truth. “The Asgards will do their part for Earth in telling themabout the Jedi's history. I will talk with Mon Mothma in arranging us to speakwith everyone on Earth. The Asgards are capable of speaking any language onEarth with clarity. We the Asgards will do all that we can in helping out theefforts in training Earth to defend themselves with the Emperor's plans.”

Thor wasquiet for a few seconds once more before he continued, “Let me tell you nowMaster Skywalker, once you leave this galaxy, we the Asgards will not be ableto help you. You will be on your own.”

“Iunderstand. You are needed here. We have been dealing with the Dark-side withless members of this crew. We should be fine.”

Before Thordeparted he said, “Master Skywalker may the Force be with you.”

After amoment of reflection, Luke commanded the crew to take Executor out of orbit andtake us to the Deep Galactic Core.”

Leia shiveredat the name of that place. She said toLuke, “I thought we would never go to that place ever again.”

Luke frowned,“So did I Leia, but from the Alliance reports, they founded out that the DeepGalactic Core had many world devastators ready for Earth's demise.

Hancommitted, “Luke if the Asgards had been working on this ship with a hyperdrive that crosses galaxies, how did the Executor arrive here?”

Lukeanswered, “The Executor had a hyper drive to travel to other galaxies, but itwas very old, and it was about to give on us before we even got here in thisgalaxy. It was the Asgards that towed us in before the engines completelycollapsed. They put us in orbit around Mars, and started on replacing the hyperdrive. They even worked on the rest of the ship.”

**********

Since Jackwas behind Ben and Emily with the Jedi training, Brandon and Sam concentratedon Jack's training. Ben and Emily did not just sit on the sidelines. They usedthe Force to help encourage Jack's ability to use the living Force.

Sam toldthem, “If we five are given the responsibility to take down the Emperor's plansto destroy all the Jedi Knights, then we need to train as a team. Teamwork isvery important. The five of us together can do a lot more than any one of usalone.”

“WhileBrandon and I are training Jack up to your level, you two will be in a specialtraining exercise. You will help Jack use the Force better than he would alone.You will be sharing your knowledge with him as he is being trained by us.”

Emilyreplied, “It would be similar to how it was done with Ben and me. While Yodaand Jolinar were the ones controlling our moves on the Death Star, we were ableto learn more of the Force.”

As Brandon andSam were training Jack, Ben and Emily did bond with Jack by using the Force.While Jack was dueling with Sam, he could feel the Force from Ben and Emily.

While theywere dueling, Brandon was stating things about what a Jedi can do with theForce. Brandon said the same words that Yoda once told Luke, “Through the Forcethings you will see: other places, other thoughts, the future, the past, oldfriends long gone.”

At those lastwords Jack immediately saw with the Force his son accidentally shot himself, anddie from it that fatal shot. It took allof Ben and Emily's abilities in the Force to help Jack in calming himself ofthis horrible event so long ago. As soonJack composed himself, he forced himself to see something other than his past.

He did see somethingdifferent. It was a place. Without understanding Jack realized that he saw aperfect place for them to continue with the Jedi training. Jack, Ben, and Emilyspoke out loud at the same time of the planet they saw, “Ossus.”

Brandon didnot know of the place, but Sam heard of it. She stepped back from Jack andturned off her lightsaber. She movedquickly to com panel on the wall. She flipped a switch, “Luke before you reachyour destination, please drop us off to Ossus.”

Luke replied,“We will be reaching our galaxy in a few hours. Once we get there, we will jumpout of hyperspace and allow you to fly the Peacemaker to Ossus.”

Sam's facelit up with a very giant smile.

She shoutedin surprise, “You picked up my ship. Thank you. We will get everything readyuntil then, Sam out.”

Brandon gavea smile of his own, “I thought we were not going to see the last of that shipof yours.”

Jack smiled,“What is this Ossus that I saw with the Force?”

Sam answered,“It was a sight of an important Jedi stronghold in ancient past. It has beenspeculated that the order of the Jedi Knights started there. That has not yetbeen proven. Luke found the place not too long after his first bout with theEmperor after the Clone Wars and Darth Vader. Brandon and I will continue yourtraining there as well. . .”

Lukeinterrupted her while he walking into the training room, “Your training will beat least a few years. In the mean time, there is Jedi Library on the planet. Isee a great importance in the Force for all five of you in reading what is inthat library.”

“I havealready dropped the Executor out of hyperspace. I feel from the Force that iswould better for you all to travel to Ossus on your own. Sam your ship issmaller than the Executor, so it will be harder to find from deep spacescanning. You all should take with you as little as possible. You will find allthat you need on Ossus, may the Force be with you.”

The five ofthem departed with their goodbyes to Luke and gathered there things. They all climbed on board the Peacemaker withDentralla at Sam's side.

Before theytook off, she asked Dentralla, “Do you really want to go with us? It might getboring for you on Ossus. We will be training all the time and studying Jedimaterials. You might be of better use here. I know that you have sworn to staywith me as a life debt, but your debt has been more then paid my dear friend.”

Dentrallareplied, “I will go with you not because of my life debt. I am going with youbecause you are my friend.”

Sam replied,“If that is the case friend, take us out of docking. Once we reach your galaxy,let me know. I will have to use the Force to get us to Ossus.
