318 318. Jedi Council Meeting

Alexander's ship just reached Coruscant.

"Okay, Wade. If you tell anyone about their future then I will send you back and telling them doesn't make sense anymore. I have changed everything." Alexander warned him.

Deadpool was jumping like a little girl in excitement, "W-Will there still be an Order 66?"

"Yes, but slightly different," Alexander replied.

"YES, I feel it's gonna be interesting, tell me when it's about to happen." Deadpool pleaded.

"Whatever, your job will be to start cleaning the Undercity of Coruscant by killing the worst criminals and bringing order. There are 5127 levels, the lower you go the worse it gets. They say you can't go below level 5 but you are unkillable so you will be fine. Just take some necessary equipment with you as there will be darkness and unknown monsters. I've also heard there are ghouls too that used to be humans once, who became like that because of hunger, mutation, and eating other people." Alexander explained.

"Oooh, that's pretty dark. But, how am I supposed to clean up a whole planet 5126 times?" Deadpool asked.

"Don't worry. I will soon be coming to give a hand. Till then, you are on your own." he replied and headed out of the ship.

This time because he had many younglings with him he used a smaller transport ship to land on the planet.

"Okay young one, come with me." He made everyone line up and follow. They cutely sang some poems Alexander taught them till they reached the Jedi Temple where Mace Windu was waiting.

"Wise One, we have declared your new appointment as the Supreme Grandmaster. But there are things that need to be discussed in the Jedi High Council. You are needed there." He informed.

"Oh, let's go then. Get someone to take care of the younglings. All of them are healthy so there is no need for a medical check-up." He instructed and went into the council room.

All the Jedi masters were present and were probably discussing the upcoming war. The moment he entered they all stood up.

Yoda also tried to do that but he was too old. Alexander quickly walked up to him and stopped him. He also used magic to heal his old body. All the previous wounds and their effects went away, all the problems of old age disappeared.

"You don't need to get up, my friend. None of you do. As long as you have respect for others in your hearts, there is no need to salute every time you see someone." Alexander told them.

Yoda sat down and felt the changes in his body, "Good I feel."

"Of course you do, I just healed you and made your body a few hundred years younger," Alexander revealed.

"How many years?" Anakin asked to confirm.

"Three hundred I guess. I can't be precise about it but it's surely somewhere near three hundred." he simply said and took his seat beside Yoda. His seat was more to a central position.

Everyone was very shocked hearing that they could prolong life with the Force.

"Okay, what do we have to discuss today?" Alexander changed the topic.

"We were discussing the upcoming war with the separatists." Obi-Wan gave him a brief recollection of what their plan was.

"Good, go with this plan. What else?" He said without much thought. The plans of the Jedi were just the same as in the movies with a small difference of Anakin still being in the order as a faithful Jedi.

"About the growing negative image of the Order in front of the people of the republic. They don't trust us anymore. The anti-war activists are rallying people and blaming the Jedi for the whole war," Shaak Ti started.

"Regarding this, I have already told my granddaughter to head the PR division of Order for now. From what I know, someone is behind this deteriorating image... someone is deliberately manipulating this..." He kept on speaking not seeing the shocked council.

"Wise One, daughter you have?" Yoda confusedly asked.

"Oh, yes I do. In fact, I have 6 daughters and three sons. Though only one of them is biologically mine. Others are adopted but are still the same as blood-related to me." He revealed.

The council didn't know whether to feel good about not all of them being biological or sad because their head had broken the code.

"Ah, I know what you all are thinking. Well, under my administration. A Jedi marrying and having kids isn't prohibited, as long as they are not going way out of line by marrying multiple times.

"I understand all the worries. It's not marrying someone that brings you to the dark side but the fear of losing them. But worry not, I will help if any of you ever come in trouble. What is the next agenda of the meeting?" He continued the meeting.

"We are to handle the trial of Barriss Offee," Anakin said with scorn in his voice. He was still angry at Barriss Offee for framing Ahsoka for orchestrating the bombing of the Jedi Temple.

"Bring her and Ahsoka in." He ordered.

Soon the two girls were brought in. Alexander looked at Barriss, "Child, tell me truthfully, why did you do all that?"

She scaredly looked at Alexander, "I-I think the Jedi Order had been corrupted by the Dark side. The Jedi Order and the Republic have lost their way and I wanted to teach them a lesson."

Alexander didn't ask more. Just by looking at her, he knew what the problem was. As a young Padawan, she witnessed the deaths of clone troopers and Jedi alike and also faced the trauma of combat. If you come to think of it, even though she was proficient in her abilities, she was still an ordinary teenager.

*Sigh*

"Ahsoka, tell me. From the day you became a padawan, do you still think the Jedi order is a peacekeeping organization?" Alexander asked.

Ahsoka didn't know why she was being asked this but she truthfully answered as she believed that there was always a reason behind his words.

"No, I don't think the Jedi Order is the same as before. As a Jedi, we were trained to be keepers of the peace, not soldiers. But all I've been since I was a Padawan is a soldier. We are sent from one planet to another to fight wars.

"We are shown on the holoscreens around the galaxy as heroes and fighters of the Republic. Look at Anakin, since when did Jedi started enrolling in Republic Army?

"I thought that we the Jedi would never take a side and only work to bring peace while staying neutral. But this... is not peace. We are just powerful tools of war. " She spoke out all she wanted that had piled up in her mind all this time.

Alexander smiled at her, "Yes, my child. You are right. Barriss, forgive the order, they are responsible for the mess as much as you.

"We send children, not even fully adults, to war, to kill, and to see their close friends die. This is not how the order should work. This is not how a Jedi should work. All the things that have been going on around make us really look like we have been corrupted by the dark side. Till now we were seen as pure people who only sided with the truth. But look now."

Everyone looked down on the ground in shame, all Ahsoka and Alexander said was absolutely true and they all knew it.

"Now, we can't even pull out of the war because then again we will be seen as enemies of the Republic and named traitors. All this is happening because the order half-heartedly decided to enter politics.

"If we truly wanted to enter politics then instead of being guards and servants of the senate and the Chancellor, we should have become the overseer, whose vote was absolutely necessary for major plans to get passed.

"But it's all too late now. I will have to rebuild everything from the start. Now, back to the trial of Barriss Offee. Child, you have committed a major crime. You have killed many people in that bombing and also framed your best friend.

"But considering that what happened was also the fault of the order too, I won't be ordering your execution. However, I will sever your connection with the force for forever. You will now live like a normal girl. You still have many talents in the field of studies so I will recommend you for a job at a school.

"But, you also wronged Ahsoka so she also has the right to decide if this punishment for you is acceptable or not," Alexander announced.

Ahsoka looked to her left at Barriss Offee. Barriss also turned towards her. Her eyes had tears. This at least showed that she had fully lost herself to emotions and her Jedi training was long forgotten.

Ahsoka spoke after a long moment of silence, "I know how the things you saw in the war broke you down. I myself sometimes felt like I was on the edge. But what you did was also not right.

"I saw you as my sister and yet you betrayed me. I can forgive you for what you did to me but never for what you did to all the people that died in that blast. I think you can live a better life away from the Order, I wish you a better life,"

Barriss Offee had regret-filled tears in her eyes by then. But she couldn't think of anything to say in her defense.

Alexander understood that Ahsoka had accepted the punishment he gave to Barriss.

"Okay, that ends it then. Barriss Offee, by the authority of the Supreme Grandmaster of Jedi Order."

Everyone straightened their backs at that official styled announcement. The scene was also being recorded in a Holocron. This was done when anything major happens in the order.

Alexander looked at her sins just to be sure he was giving punishment appropriately.

||Barriss Offee - Category 2

Murder - 25

Indirect Murder - 1

Sin Percentage - 49%||

"I strip you of all your vows and duties in the Jedi Order. You shall not take the prefix of a Jedi or Padawan again. You are allowed to marry, have kids, and live your life like a normal citizen in the republic. To get you settled, I am allotting you a hundred thousand Republic credits. May you find peace in your life." He announced.

With that, the council was done. Barriss Offee's previous master took her to get her stuff and escort her out. She would live a life as a normal woman now. Though she will be even weaker due to her old injuries and will start feeling the pain because the force was stripped off of her. If she wants to live a decent life, she will have to work hard and save money.

Alexander walked up to Ahsoka and patted her head softly, "Haha, nice speech there, little one. I am proud of you."

Ahsoka looked at his smiling kind face with her big eyes. She felt very happy being praised by him. It was like a certification for her that what she believed was right.

Then Ahsoka's eyes widened as if she remembered something, "Oh no! I forgot to tell you, Yoda Junior was wailing a while ago, he was missing you probably."

"Ah, then let's go to him." He said and walked away with her.

"Grandmaster, I have a favor to ask." She voiced.

"Say it,"

"I want to organize a marriage ceremony for Anakin." She requested.

"Haha, nice idea. He married his lover in secret a while ago right? Well, we're gonna have a big party soon then."

"Hehe, he's gonna love it." She beamed with joy.

Behind them, all the masters were looking at them go away. For some reason, they all saw shadows of their younger selves in Ahsoka and the shadow of their most beloved master/person in Alexander. They all couldn't help but smile remembering their good old days.

Yoda felt the positivity around the whole Jedi temple and around all the masters for the first time. He then smiled, feeling that he made the correct decision to let the Order be managed by Alexander.

~Hmmm... Come for Jedi Order new era has.~ he silently thought.
