It did not take long after the group entered the temple for proper jedi masters to notice that something was up with the two armored individuals that had just entered. Jack didn"t let the stares stop him as he andand Ahsoka continue to walk down the halls looking for the cla.s.s of younglings.
Jack knew he should have been very lost but it was as if something had been guiding him to his destination as the group pa.s.sed training room after training room. Soon he stopped in front of large door that lead in to the library. Before he could touch the door it slowly began to open as a voice rang out at the same time.
"Lost you become if you wander. Stay with the group you must young Ahsoka." Jack could tell with in the first five seconds who that voice belonged to. One of the greatest jedi masters of this time...Yoda. Ahsoka ran inside and right up to the jedi,"Master Yoda I promisss I won"t do it again but....but..I had to go to the bathroom..." That last part caused Ahsoka shoulders to slump and Yoda to chuckle. "I see problem that is yes..yes.. however solved it has become. Also thank you I must my strange looking friend. Returning young Ahsoka you have."
Jack nodded," Master Jedi I am sure you have noticed but I am not exactly a local around here but I have a few things I need to discuss with the council. I concerns the faith of the republic, and the jedi."
"No lies I sense..troubling this action we must take." Yoda quick walked to a near by panel on the wall after a few swipes an older looking woman jedi entered. Yoda explained the situation and then turned to the younglings gathered before him, " Gather, gather quickly you must. Jedi Master Jocasta this is. Finish the rest of the lesson she will."

The old jedi smiled at the younglings and guided them deeper into the library,however before they left
Ahsoka turned and ran up to Jack,"Hmm... I never gots your name masterss jedi.." Chuckling light Jack told the youngling his name cause the small child to smile then turn and run off to catch up with the group.
With that matter settled Yoda lead Jack and Sharia to the jedi council chambers in the heart of the temple. Through the journey nothing had been said but Jack could feel Yoda probing him though the force. He could force the Master out, but Jack figure he was just checking for hostile intentions.
After a few seconds Yoda stopped probing him and at that moment they stopped in front of a large set of doors. "A moment I need, prepare the council I must.",and with that Yoda turned and left the two standing in the hall. Sharia sighed,"I thought your people hadn"t explored the galaxy yet.." Understand what she was asking Jack just raised his hand, "I understand your confusion, but there is a time and place for everything and right now is neither the time or place. Wait until we leave and I promise to explain everything." Sharia nodded they silence return as the two waited patiently outside of the council chambers.
They did not have to wait for very long and the doors swung out allow them to see all twelve members of the council. Some he had recognized, some he did not but he was pretty sure these had been the members leading the jedi during the clone wars.
Not all of the survive until the jedi purge. In fact he was sure two of these members die went they attacked Geonosis at the start of the war. Jack released such thoughts from his mind at the moment. If he could convince the jedi in front of him of the hidden danger that would soon grip the republic then much of that future could be stopped.
Turing to face the council Jack took a deep breath. " h.e.l.lo esteemed members of the Jedi I bring greetings from the Planet nation called new Mandalor. Though I wish we would have meet under a better owen. Time will soon be against us and there is much to be done." Jack gave them a moment to desist his opening statements. It was during this pause that Master Windu to his chance to speak.
" We of the council accept New Mandalor"s greetings, but it is a strange thing is it not for Mandalorians to enter the temple of one of their greatest foes. Not to mention I was sure that the republic banned to expansion of all Republic members, and last I checked Mandalor was still a member." Though the jedi statement had been a bit harsh it still had been true. Jack took this moment to remove his helmet slightly startling the jedi before their stoic emotions returned.
"You see it occurs to me that if you do not know that Mandlor has been taken over by the Deathwatch faction then you where not made aware of the fact that their had been survivors of that coup attempt that fled the planet." Jack turned to Sharia, " That one there was on of the leaders who helped the Mandalorians escape and arrive on my planet, where they then proceed to conquer my world and people."
This news had indeed shocked the council. Count Dooku had informed them before his departure that he had helped a group of refugees escape to an uninhabited world in that section of the galaxy. However if these Mandalorians had been who he was talking about then not only did fail to mention this. He has also allowed them to conquer a world that was still developing and had been at a technology disadvantage.
This violated the codes of no contact with any world below cla.s.s 4 in technology. Jack looked around the room and confirmed his suspicions. He then begain the long story about what had happened over the last year to his planet and people. After he was done many in the council looked horrify. Mance Windu turned to face Sharia. If looks could kill she would have been dead on the spot.
She of course knew why they were angry. Even though they had fled their home planet they still should have abided by the universal law of leaving developing planet alone. Still they hadn"t really been give a choice so they did the best they could with what they had. If they would have gone any where else Sharia was sure it would have taken them years just to build the infrastructure just to survive. Let alone the task of increasing their population.
If they had not attacked Earth then she sure her people would not survive. Though Jack allowed the jedi a moment to process all that he had informed them of. He still would not allow them to pressure his subordinate. Blocking the view Windu had of Sharia he continue, " Though their occupation had been brutal in the beginning it did not last long. So all can be forgiven. Both of our people are working towards a better future so you need not be concerned about us."
The others members of the council though still upset nodded knowing what was about to be discussed next would be very important. Seeing the jedi start to relax Jack came to the climax of his speech." Now for the main point of why am here...I am sure you all have noticed the growing corruption in the republic Senate. Even though I can"t fully explain how I know I can tell you that this corruption is not natural. In fact it is the work of a powerful sith lord." Jack had to hold back his laughter when he said powerful sith lord.
By his master Revan"s standards Sidious was at best an average sith lord, but by keep the jedi ignorant of his present he was able to push them to the brink. While he was have these thoughts the members of the council were shocked.
Master Shaak Ti couldn"t help but ask, " I know you said you would not be able to explain it, but you have to know that such a claim is extremely serious. We do not know you and for all we know you could tell us this in an effort to have the jedi distrust the current members of the Senate. That in its self would cause a great fear to spread through the republic."
Jack had to admit that Shaak Ti did not fail to grasp the main issue of the problem. It"s also help improve the already great impression he had of this beautiful jedi that she had been the first to point this out. Jack couldn"t help him self as he spoke, "Smart and beautiful the rumors about you Master Shaak Ti fail capture everything about you. It is true that you all do not know me, but there is one thing wrong with your statement."
Shaak Ti had been a bit taken back from this young man"s last statement. She however did not let it show on her face." What was wrong about what I said."
"What was wrong was that you said I would force you not to trust the Senate but it"s not the whole Senate...Just one man and as it stands right now he should not have very much power at lest in public."
This caught the attention of everyone. "Who is this man." Shaak Ti waited baited on the answer. "I won"t say not yet, but instead I will tell you of event that will come to pa.s.s. In about two years the planet of Naboo will be block aided from the Trade Federation. The queen at the time will escape the attack and make it to the republic. She will then seek aid and be denied that aid. At that time she will move for a vote of no confidence and have the chancellor removed. It will be at this moment you will know who the sith lord is."
The council was silent as they absorbed what had been told to them. Master Kit spoke after remaining silent up till now. "If what you say is true why not help us stop it. Why allow the people of Naboo to suffer and die just to prove that what you say can be believed."
Jack responded," I never said I was going to allow them to do as they pleased, as we speak I have some of my clan providing a transponder to the royal family of the planet. Once the signal is cut do to the block aided we will arrive to a.s.sist them. Even of after words we are seen as a threat to the republic. My purpose here is not to have you stop it. My purpose here is to warn and enlighten you all. The jedi need to prepare a war is coming and there is nothing you can do to stop it."
Just before anyone could talk Jack"s holo came to life on screen Trish appeared looking slightly tried and wore." Trish is everything alright." She took off her helmet and her face told him everything he needed. "We were too late the king had been a.s.sa.s.sinated just as we arrive we help secure the new Queen but we had to flee to Naboo we are about to enter Hypers.p.a.ce the plan will have to be changed. My squad and I will stay with the queen to ensure her safety. I guess it will be awhile before we meet up."
Though it broke his heart that both his friends would begone for a time he knew it had to be done." I understand keep her alive when the time is right me and Keith will come for you...stay alive Trish." Withput another word Jack ened the call then nodded to Sharia. She knew it was time and headed out of the chamber to call for their ride.
Jack directed his attention back to the council, " Time is short and we could not prevent one tragedy from happening today. Just know I do not see the jedi as foes in fact I wish to help the order. If what I have said comes to pa.s.s I hope that will be enough proof that what I have told you here today is the truth. From there we can move on to what needs to be done. For now I must return to my ship my people need to prepare."
Turning to leave Shaak Ti couldn"t help but ask one last question," What do you mean your people I am sure you said that the natives took back your planet but what of the Mandalorians they have not been known to submit to anyone they do seem fit. Where are the rest of them." To that Jack just smiled as he returned his helmet to its rightful spot. "Did I not mention how we conquer the Mandalorians. I fought all challenges for 7 days straight was proclaimed Mand"lor and leader of all forces on New Mandalor."
Without an extra word Jack turned and walked out of the chamber. He need to return and accelerate the plan. He did not know exactly when the Trade Federation would lunch their attack so they had to be ready. What he had told the jedi was ment for them as well as himself. War was coming and it would be here sooner rather than later.
(A/N: So I had a bit of trouble writing this I didnt want Jack to give everything away to the jedi simply because am not sure if I want to keep them as allies for this story. In truth I had alot of problems with the jedi philosophy in legends and cannon. I much prefer the philosophy of the jedi in the old republic. They had been willing to do what ever it took to stop a threat to the republic. That is a more natural approach for a group of people who would call themselves guardians of a civilization. So yea the chapters from this point will start to get longer but that also means they will take longer to write so bear with me a bit.)
