=========================

Ardan walked straight towards the Chancellor ready to speak his mind as Kyly and BD waited by the entrance not having been invited in.

Palpatine: Uh, Young Solari. What can I do for you?

He asked standing from his seat and walking towards the boy as Ardan showed no fear and stepped in front of who he knows the Chancellor is.

Ardan: I know who you are...

Palpatine looked to Ardan a few feet from him as Kyly and BD stayed by the door, Ardan was filled with rage right now, he's never been denied anything before in his life and this, to be a Jedi Master was all he ever wanted but this old fool took that from him.

Ardan: ... Darth Sidious...

The Chancellor looked shocked and stunned as Kyly and BD Watched not hearing what was being said.

Ardan: ... I sensed your power the first day we met and I will not stop until I prove to the Council exactly who you are.

Palpatine smiled to the boy thinking his power was far beyond Ardans but the Chancellor doesn't know that Ardan has been training in both Light and Dark sides of the force and is using said Dark side to hide his power from his enemies much like Sidious is doing to all the other.

Ardan: And when I do...

Ardan stepped even closure to the Chancellor catching him off guard by the 19 year olds bravery, is he does truly believe he's the Sith Emperor then he knows what he's capable of.

Ardan: ... You'll die by my hand.

Palpatine looked over to Kyly and BD as she seemed to think that they were just having a friendly chat.

Palpatine: You have no idea what I'm capable of. I can...

Palpatine was about to try and persuade him to join the Dark side but Ardan's honor is more powerful then his brothers and he won't be persuaded so easily.

Ardan: No...

Ardan cut him off looking into his slowly turning yellow eyes what the Chancellor didn't expect to see was Ardan's turning red.

Ardan: ... You have no idea what I'm capable of...

Palpatine looked into his eyes, their not the yellow and red of the Sith but near blood red, Sidious has never seen this kind of thing before and on such a weak Jedi, Ardan's eyes went back to the blue they were before and walked away from the Chancellor turning his back to the Emperor, Ardan has either just done something really brave or very stupid.

Kyly: What was that? 

She asked catching up to Ardan as he continued to walk down the hall not sure of where to go now or what to do, Ardan knows Palpatine is the Sith Lord because Shyon told him and Ardan doesn't see why he would lie to him not while trying to convince him to join him in defeating the Emperor and joining him.

Ardan: Two old friends having a chat.

Ardan lied this time, it was more then a chat and they are certainly not friends but he did stop and turn to her felling bad for snapping at her and pushing her away.

Ardan: Come with me.

Ardan took her hand and dragged her to a balcony where they can't be seen and he can tell her what she wants to know, Kyly isn't his enemy here, he is his own enemy.

Ardan: Back on Geonosis...

Ardan took a deep breath remembering what he was put through, it won't be easy and he's slightly ashamed of what he did to escape.

Ardan: I was caught in an anti gravity field, I could feel nothing. Shyon came into the room and he did everything to break me, put thoughts in my mind, told me he killed our father, that he destroyed out home.

Ardan felt the anger building up again and sighed trying to keep it under control but once you dig into that side of the Force, that kind of power it's difficult to let go of and go back to who you once were.

Ardan: He tried playing the Jedi against me, telling me they lied to me about his death but they didn't lie, they kept it from me to keep me safe, I know that but for some reason I'm not sure I believe it.

Kyly looked to him near panicking as he opened up to her about his feelings and the  fact the Dark side is slowly taking over day by day, she held her cheeks as Ardan closed his eyes and tried to control his power but the stronger and stronger he got the more difficult it's becoming.

Kyly: You can do this...

Ardan looked to her as BD leapt onto the balcony beside them looking between the two.

Kyly: ... You're the most powerful and caring person I know, if anyone can stop this. It's you.

Ardan smiled down to her as she grinned up to him upset that the training has had this impact on the boy she loves and holds dear, Ardan held her and pressed his forehead to hers and just had one thing to ask.

Ardan: Marry me?

Kyly looked up to him like she wasn't sure what he said but he just smiled down to her, they've been together now for three years and the Galaxy doesn't seem to be in safer hands, maybe there isn't a better time then now.

Kyly: Yes.

Kyly said nodding with a smile, Ardan asked her if she said yes just to make sure and she nodded while tip toeing kissing her now soon to be husband as BD does backflips beside them creating a lot of noise making Ardan feel more himself again then he has since Geonosis all those years ago...

=========================

Masters Yoda, Windu and Obi-Wan are in a transport ship heading towards the Republic's Star Destroyers waiting to take Master Yoda, Ardan and Kyly to Kashyyyk to help the Wookiees.

Obi-Wan: Anakin did not take to his new assignment with much enthusiasm.

Obi-Wan spoke to Anakin about the Council wishing for him to spy on the Chancellor, Anakin wasn't to sure about it seeming as they have already bonded in a way no one ever expected them to have done.

Windu: It's very dangerous, putting them together. I don't think the boy can handle it. I don't trust him.

Windu spoke honestly as Yoda ran his small hand through the very little hair he has while Obi-Wan looked to Master Windu mildly stunned by what he just heard.

Obi-Wan: With all due respect, Master, is he not the chosen one? Is he not to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force?

Master Windu turned to Obi-Wan and heard what he has to say about the young Anakin Skywalker but Master Windu still isn't sure weather to trust him or not.

Windu: So the prophecy says.

Masters Windu and Obi-Wan spent a second looking into the others eyes both with different views towards the chosen one, Master Yoda however saw things differently.

Yoda: A prophecy that misread could have been.

Master Windu nodded a little agreeing with Master Yoda while Obi-Wan still believed in the boy and his abilities to save the Galaxy.

Obi-Wan: He will not let me down. He never has.

Master Windu looked back to Obi-Wan as Obi-Wan defended Anakin to the two great Jedi Masters.

Yoda: Right I hope you are.

Silence fell onto them once and for all as the transport ship got closure to their destination as Obi-Wan needed to know something.

Obi-Wan: If the prophecy about Anakin could have been read wrong. why couldn't Ardan's have been?

Master Yoda and Master Windu shared a look as this was a concern of theirs, Ardan, if this was true, would be by far the biggest threat to the Jedi Order then any other in the Sith, he'll become more powerful then they could ever imagine.

Yoda: For young Solari's to begin, Skywalker's must not come true.

Only a few knew about Ardan's prophecy and what is to come of him and his power while many are oblivious, Kyly knows he has a prophecy but what it is she doesn't know, nothing more was said between the trio as they pondered the conversation, for Ardan's prophecy to come into play then Anakin's must fail meaning that the Sith would have won...

=========================

It took a little while but Master Yoda, Ardan and Kyly arrived on Kashyyyk, Ardan seemingly more happier then he's ever been, Master Yoda kept them both training during their trip lifting a weight off Ardan's shoulders from training Kyly and allowing him to focus on his own training and hopefully becoming more in control of his powers.

As soon as they made their way towards the battle, Ardan looked to see many Clones and Wookiees working together to defend this planet from the Droid invasion, they only thing was Master Yoda was requested by the Jedi Council so the young Jedi's followed Master Yoda and waited nearby as he part took in the meeting.

Ki-Adi-Mundi: ... Palpatine thinks General Grievous is on Utapau?

He asked Anakin as Ardan shuddered to the name, Ardan didn't know that the Council suspected the Chancellor, with him not being in the Council and all he doesn't get this information, so he's just keeping his mouth shut until he has the proof.

Anakin: A partial message was intercepted in a diplomatic packet from the chairman of Utapau.

Master Yoda hummed in acknowledgement to his words as Ardan couldn't help but feel a little resentment for not sitting in the exact seat.

Yoda: Act on this we must. The capture of General Grievous will end this war. Quickly and decisively we should proceed.

Ardan looked down to Kyly as she watched the meeting, he was so happy right now that he has her in his life, most Jedi's never find what they've found and he knows he is luckily.

Anakin: The Chancellor has requested that I lead the campaign.

Ardan looked back to the hologram of his friend and thought how curious that is, why would the Sith Lord want Anakin to go to Utapau for.

Windu: The Council will make up it's own mind who is to go, not the Chancellor.

Ardan smiled to his old Master, Mace Windu is the closets thing Ardan has to a Father since the one he was born to gave him away to the Jedi Order, Ardan cares more about Master Windu, then any other Jedi on the Council only second behind Kyly.

Yoda: A Master is needed, with more experience.

Most around the Council agreed as Ki-Adi-Mundi spoke up.

Ki-Adi-Mundi: I concur. Master Kenobi should go.

This was met with a huge amount of agreement and a sour looking Anakin sitting with his head down low.

Windu: Very well. Council Adjourned.

Master Yoda hopped off the seat and walked over to the nearby Commander as the Commander knelt down to his level and Ardan with Kyly stood behind them.

Commander: The Droids have started up their main power generators.

Ardan looked to Kyly as she and he both took off their robes leaving them in their basic outfits, Ardan pulled out both his Purple and Orange Saber connecting them together to make a double sided weapon.

Yoda: Then now the time is, Commander.

The Commander stood up and gave the order for the Clones to fight making the Wookiees roar a battle cry.

Ardan: Don't worry Commander. We'll be right behind ya.

The Commander nodded as the Jedi followed him to the battle down below, Ardan was running in the middle with BD on his shoulder and Kyly on his left, a Wookie is running to his left and he wanted to be polite.

Ardan: Who are you?

The Wookie looked to him as he took much bigger strides then the 6'0 Jedi and responded in Shyriiwook a language spoke of their species, luckily Ardan never missed a reading day and learned to understand them.

Ardan: Chewbacca huh? I'm gonna call you Chewie for short.

Chewbacca liked it and joined the Jedi Knight in his fight against the Droids...
