The prophecy of the Chosen One, was one that had divided the opinions of both the Jedi
and the Sith over thousands of years, with some claiming the Chosen One would bring Balance,
and others stating that it would return to the light. The emergence of the powerful Force
sensitive Anakin Skywalker, placed all of those theories at the forefront of their mind,
and throughout his ascendancy in the Jedi Order, the Sith realised that they could not
let this opportunity pass by them. The secret dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious grew closer
to Anakin, shaking his faith in the Jedi Order, and their restrictive code, that failed to
accommodate for his marriage to Senator Padme Amidala of Naboo. Eventually falling to the
dark side of the Force, the Sith’s version of balance was established, with the purge
on the Jedi establishing the ultimate Sith weapon of power. But for Jedi master Obi-Wan
Kenobi, the fall of the Jedi order was only one step towards the prophecy being fulfilled,
and he was proven correct by Anakin’s redemption to the light, helped by his son Luke Skywalker.
But what if Anakin Skywalker had never existed? How would this change the approach of the
Sith? Would someone else be the protagonist for the prophecy of the Chosen One? As you
are going to find out, the absence of Anakin, could have shaken the Force to its core…
On the realm of Mortis, the Force wielders known as the Father and Daughter were worried
by the recent activity of the Son. The dark side user had been delighted by his recent
visions in the Force, and they realised that the prophecy that the galaxy had talked about
for generations, had merely been a myth, as the human supposed to be born was not on their
radar, and at this rate the dark side would take over, so they needed to find a way to
stop him. Taking the dagger of Mortis from the altar, the Son was immediately of their
plan, and tried to take the dagger away from the Father, but the Daughter intervened, as
they battled in a duel of the Force. The father could not see an end to this violence, and
in a move that shocked the children, he impaled himself with the dagger, eliminating the immortality
from the Son and Daughter. The shockwave this caused in the Force, was felt on the planet
of Coruscant by the Jedi. Grandmaster Yoda had been meditating in his quarters, when
he jumped from his cushion, and leapt backwards onto the window adorning his wall. Mace Windu
is the first to rush to the aid of the Grandmaster, and having both sensed the shift in the Force
they gather the other Council members for a meeting. Jedi master Dooku and the Wookiee
Tyvokka, believed that the shock felt through the Force was a sign that the Sith were making
a return, after almost a one-thousand-year absence since the dissolution of the Brotherhood
of Darkness. Windu is sceptical that the Sith would have returned without the detection
of the Jedi, so Yoda decides that he should go to investigate the calling of the Force.
Taking his personally modified starfighter out of its place in the Temple’s hangar,
he swooped out of the comfort in stillness of the Galactic City, and accessed the airspace
over the planet. The hexagonal wing tips folded inwards, as he guided the ship into the hyperdrive
docking ring, and Yoda guided the craft into Wild Space, where the calling from the Force
had become louder and louder. Out of nowhere, an octahedral monolith appeared in front of
him, and he found himself being slowly drawn in by the gravitational force. The Grandmaster
is blinded by the brightest of lights, then later found himself perfectly on the grass
floor, and the picturesque surroundings of Mortis. The floating form of the Daughter
hurried to the Jedi, and the legends he had heard in the Temple about the realm were dwarfed
by the reality, as she asked him to hurry to the top of one of mountains, to test if
he was the Chosen One, seeking to prove than the Son’s visions had been flawed. To their
horror, the dark side user was already waiting for them, having come up with a back up plans,
to possess the current Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Tenebrous. Whilst the children began
top argue amongst themselves, Tenebrous charged at Yoda, fuelled by the dark side and the
Son, but he proved to be no match for Yoda, who used his agility to powerfully cut through
his defences. As Yoda was about to listen to the last words of the Sith, the Son cackled
at the false image he had cast to attack the Jedi, and Yoda realised that this meant the
Sith were still in hiding, and ready to rise. The Son fled the arena, whilst the Daughter
remarked that even though Yoda was not the Chosen One, he still held a big role in the
galaxy, and ordered him to leave to destroy the dark side. The Grandmaster ran back to
his ship, and later waking up to hover in Wild Space, he felt like he had just been
exposed to strong sensations in the Force, and returned to the Temple. Placed under the
attention of the Jedi healers, Yoda strapped to a deprivation tank, bringing him close
to death, and becoming one with the Force, The Grandmaster could see visions and voices
of Sith past and present, some of whom were not in the Jedi archives or holocrons, before
remembering the face of his attacker on Mortis. Yoda is placed to rest on a nearby bed, and
he knew that the Jedi needed to be careful, or they could fall by the sword of the Sith.
