V.2-C.101│Mortis in Balance I│

"What is going on here!" The Father entered the room as soon as Anakin had gone out the window.

The Son and Daughter were not doing anything, but had already gone in at each other because Anakin had flown out the window. The Daughter believing that it was her turn to contribute engaged her brother in a fight, that lasted a few seconds.

"Stop this!" The Father called out, watching his children fight against each other, one using red Force lighting while it was being absorbed by the other through the use of a small energy field concentrated in her hands.

The Father then made a gesture that easily flung both the Daughter and the Son out of the windows where Anakin had gone outside.

Anakin outside would have dodged these two, but he instead decided that he would once again rescue his ally, the Daughter by once again getting her into his arms. Of course, he put her down after, given that he needs to have some maneuverability for what is going to happen next.

"T-Thank you, once again..." The Daughter said while the Son clicked his tongue at the display.

The Father descended upon the small group of three, Anakin, the Daughter and the Son with his own wings. Where he was hiding them, Anakin would probably never know...

"So glad of you to make it to our little party father!" The Son exclaimed, getting up from having 'fallen' down and then started to blast the Father with some red lightning.

The Father would block this blow by utilizing the same technique that the Daughter had used, but...

"You will stop this." The Father commanded as he seemed tired.

"You are too weak for me old man." The Son then started to use his other hand, as if to back up his statement as some form of truth. "You dont mean nothing to me anymore." Of course this statement isn't true, and it was just that the Son was too far gone at this point, having gone to such extremes that there was probably no turning back.

So powerful was the Son that he had finally overpowered his Father and pushed him back, fully taking the wind out of the Fathers sails.

The Son was about to continue moving forward to continue torturing his father, that was until he was stopped by Anakin.

"How about you stop right there." While Anakin may not hold anyone here in too high regard given that they were all isolationist, even the Daughter whom had taken a liken to him was not off of his disregard.

"Oh? And how will you stop me?" The Son was starting to get puffed up on his power, which lead to some degree of arrogance.

"What about this?" Anakin showed the dagger within his hand, fully intending to start using it when he wanted too.

"So you have brought the dagger to me. The Chosen One and the Dagger all in one place. This makes it all the more easier for me." The Son didn't seem to take Anakin's threat seriously.

Considering Anakin hadn't shown any of his true power yet, or at least didn't show it in full and the Son was becoming more and more powerful as time passed, it only made sense that he would be so blindsided.

"Everything is going exactly as I have planned." The Son said, while Anakin thought that he didn't actually plan this out, but who knows.

"You showed them the altar!" The Father got up from his fall and exclaimed, seeing that Anakin had his hands of the Dagger of Mortis.

"I am sorry father. The Chosen One, along with the dagger would be able to-" The Daughter was interrupted however, as the Father seemed angry.

"No. He is not ready..." The Father coughed here, but not blood as it seemed like these didn't exactly have proper physical beings. Despite the amount of physical sensations that Anakin was able to feel from the Daughter.

"Join me." The Son gestured towards Anakin. "Join me, and we shall bring balance to the universe! Is that not what you want?"

"I thought you wanted me dead?" Anakin was quick to notice the Son's change in attitude once he had shown the Dagger and knew that without a moments hesitation that he would probably try and strike him down if he could.

"That is in the past now. I now see that for you to make it this far must mean you are the Chosen One. It was all a test. A test that I had set up with the very purpose of wanting to make sure that you are the Chosen One." The Son explained himself.

"Don't listen to him!" The Daughter said as Anakin was in fact hearing the Son, but wasn't really listening as that would imply he was taking head to what was being said.

"Don't interfere with our business sister. I have my plans for you yet." The Son told his sister to back off while turning his attention back towards Anakin. "What say you? My friend..."

"I... am afraid that I cannot accept your offer for this something better that I could do." Anakin in a symbolic gesture started to do something strange. "I did notice that there was a connection between the three of you that link back up with your father. So, all I would need to do is either kill you, kill your father and then kill you... or I could become the new owner of this dagger here and the new overlord over the both of you."

"You wouldn't!" The Son seemed to not want to come under the control of another.

"The reason I have come here is not to deal with or mess around with some family squabbling and I most certainly didn't want to get involved as well. I am no the Chosen One you are all seeking, for I am much more than that." Anakin started to generate and unleash his own energy field that was a part of himself.

Kept and bundled up for the longest time now, but since this place was a magnet and amplifier of the Force, he was going to use it to his advantage.

Lightning started to sparkle off of Anakin and the night and day cycle of the planet was starting to become screwy once again, because Anakin had gotten involved.

"What-What is this?" The Father was starting to feel that things were going out of his control.

"You!" The Son was enraged once again that Anakin would go against whatever he had in mind and instead would do something on epic proportions like this.

"What are you doing!?" The Daughter was the one most concerned with what Anakin was doing, for she now had a vested interest in Anakin.

"I ain't doing anything in particular." Anakin answered, as his voice was layered with the voices of many, just as the family here was. "I just wanted to make a show to the Force that I am the captain now."

"What are you talking about! What you are doing is... is something disastrous to the balance!" The Father called out having still not gotten over the damage done to him by his son.

"When I made that small vow all those years ago... I had said that I was the Force, and that the Force is me..." Anakin said as he started to float with dagger in hand. "What I meant by those words all along was not that I would give myself to the Force to become an embodiment of its will."

"No..."

"What I truly meant was that I would BECOME the Force. Not the other way around, and then I would BECOME the WILL of the Force, not the other way around. When I said I am much more than what the Chosen One is or was, I meant it."

"I am not simply something that can be comprehended through the use of the Force normally, for I may be a child born purely of the Force, but I am not something that is to be controlled. Not to be willed and directed in a certain direction."

"Flowing through all, there is balance."

"There is no peace without a passion to create."

"There is no passion without peace to guide."

"Knowledge fades without the strength to act."

"Power blinds without the serenity to see."

"There is freedom in life."

"There is purpose in death."

"The Force is all things and I am the Force."

Many voices overlapped with each other, which were in fact the voices of those that were deceased and had gone into Anakin's nascent realm of the dead. His nascent realm of Heaven for all that he deemed worthy to live in may stay within and live out the rest of eternity if they wanted as spirits that may watch down upon those of their descendants.

Of course they were mostly old people that had reached the end of their ropes, but there were also those unfortunate enough to come across something, an accident or disease that the super serum would be unable to handle.

"This is wrong! This is all wrong!" The Father seemed distraught, as the planet itself was starting to lose color, for it was turning a bleached white.

There was no green representing life, nor the color of the night, black representing death and destruction and all that was left in Anakin's wake was a planet that wasn't dead, but wasn't alive as well.

"I am the freer of people!" Anakin's voice echoed like a god as what he had done was sever the connection of this planet and make it a wound in the Force, specifically a wound in the normal Force, for his energy was still able to access the lands here.

"I have destroyed your grand prison here, as it shall be no more." Anakin looked around at the white grass, white lands, white trees and grey bark of the trees. There was nothing left to indicate anything and even the volcano itself seemed as if it was frozen in time.

Everything was a white color, in stark contrast to Anakin who seemed to be an amalgamation of color. Ranging from all colors of the rainbow, and even then some. Which they would be unable to even visualize.

"Unfortunately, the greatest prison for you, the Son, is life itself."

"What do you mean!?" The Son was in utter chaos, having lost connection to the Force with which had empowered him.

"And you. The Father. You are old and dying, with no telling how long you have left to live. Do you wish to stay here and wither away with the place you have come to make your home? Or do you wish to escape this place and see the galaxy one last time?"

"I... I..." The Father had no words at the display of power while Anakin turned to the Daughter.

"You are the last. Arguably you are also the most intriguing, for I know of how to make you in balance. You have already exhibited signs that your time is near, so-" Anakin was going to say something more, only to be interrupted by the Son.

"No! I have had enough of this. I will kill you and end this farce once and for all." The Son had no power but he would still try and attack Anakin with all he had, whether that be his fists or his own access to his innate abilities.

For while the Force is gone, taken from the planet, that didn't mean it doesn't still exist within the Son, the Daughter or the Father. They still had midi-chlorians, or at least one would assume they did.

"That is a bad idea." Anakin didn't do anything accept defend himself as the Son lunged at him, intending to try and kill him. The killing intent was clear within his eyes and without hesitation...

Anakin struck him down, piercing the Son's heart. Ending him right then and there. "I-" Gasping the Son reached out only to fail as he started to feel weak. "I..." Anakin let him go and let him fall, safely as he wasn't about to disrespect the other two, as the Son is their family after all.

"Brother!" "Son!" The two called out as they moved over to the Son, for Anakin had done what was to be done. The Father as he arrived coughed, knowing that his time was near, especially now that his lifeline was cut.

The Force no longer being present started to take a toll on his body.

"Wh-What did you do!?" The Daughter had tears in her eyes, for she was conflicted. Her family was dying, no, they were all but dead in this state. Gasping and on their last legs, with Anakin floating above them all in a position that was quite high and mighty.

Anakin descended and didn't care for the woman's tears as he knew he needed to do something like this to accomplish setting a tone.

Specifically, he was creating a ripple that would forcibly remove the Force from the equation of what will happen to the Father, the Son and to the Daughter. The Father and the Son would still die, it would seem but Anakin wasn't about to just allow things to go out of balance because he was being rebellious.

"Come." The Daughter obliged Anakin's command with small tears in her eyes and he looked into her for a second. Trying to see why see had said that they would be bonded, knowing that this was a possible outcome, but she still insisted that they were bound. "Tell me. Why are we to be bound?" He asked her, distracting her from the death of her family members.

"I... I saw that we..." The Daughter had seen something, but Anakin didn't want to pry no more since she was unwilling to say anything.

"This place will not disappear until every living being leaves." Anakin stated looking out towards the distance, with everything having come to a standstill. "That includes you. I must restore the balance now and you are going to help me do so."

"What do you mean?" She should hate him, but that was not within her nature, especially since she had become infatuated with him. Still clinging onto the hope that Anakin was somehow going to share in her pain and suffer just as much as her in this moment.

What a twisted form of love.

Anakin brought her over to the Son and started to touch both the Son's forehead and the Daughters. He started to bring out the special energies that made the Son a part of the dark side and using himself he also brought out the Daughters powers, which he then created a link and formed something akin to balance.

This would be symbolic for Anakin taking the Jedi, the light side and then extracting the dark side, then forming anew these two things into something new. The Sith would still die, but the Jedi would live on through Anakin and his teaching them balance.

Again, another reason why Anakin wanted to come here, for it would alter the course of history.

A light started to be emitted from the Daughter as Anakin passed back the powers of herself and her brother into herself. Making her completely and well balanced within the Force but by doing this Anakin had also inadvertently created a Dyad between the two.

The Force was still messing with him, and it was like he would always have a small connection to the Force no matter how small.

Another symbolic gesture.
