1 V.1-C.1│Skywalker│

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

"Is this-is this happening now, or in the future?"

Thousands of years before the Galactic Republic, at a time of great peril during the Mandalorian wars a Jedi Master had foreseen something, something of terrible greatness, or great terribleness.

Either way, it was a sight to behold. Jedi Master Q'Anilia had a Force vision.

A vision that included a man dressed in a suit of all black, a man who had become entrapped within the corrupting dark side of the Force. It also included the figures of three others, less important than the man in black but there nonetheless.

All four beings would be affected by the Sith artifact known as the Muur Talisman.

Similarly, at an unknown period of time, another vision was also foretold by the Heinsnake Cult. An ancient sect the members of which wielded a dark and powerful magic capable of rivaling the Dark Lords of the Sith and clouding their vision.

A vision that would declare and end to both the Jedi Order and the Empire, and leave the galaxy in eternal chaos.

Fast forward a few thousand years into present day.

The enigmatic Sith Lords of the current times, Darth Plagueis and his Sith apprentice Darth Sidious were trying something amazing. Extremely dangerous but nonetheless terrifying.

"Everything done here has been for a single purpose: to extend our reign indefinitely." Darth Plagueis had said to his apprentice.

Repeatedly had Plagueis destroyed his rival, Darth Venamis. A male Bith, he was the Sith apprentice of the Dark Lord, Darth Tenebrous.

Tenebrous trained Venamis in violation of the Rule of Two, since he had another apprentice, Darth Plagueis. Despite Venamis' use of the Sith title, Darth, it was not legitimately bestowed upon him.

'And finally his life had come to an end, by my hand did I complete the rules and uphold the rule of two.' Plagueis thought to himself darkly.

Sidious, his apprentice and the blasted droid 11-4D had been witness to his violation and torture of his rival. Cruel and gruesome was the outcome, but the Sith way it was.

"To say that the Force works in mysterious ways is to admit one's ignorance, for any mystery can be solved through the application of knowledge and unrelenting effort. As we had our way with the Senate, and as we will soon have our way with the Republic and the Jedi, we will have our way with the Force." Plagueis says to Sidious before continuing.

"We will now enter a deep meditative state. Come with me my apprentice."

"Yes, Master."

Sidious and Plagueis then entered a meditative trance and managed to tip the scales of balance in the favor of darkness. Plagueis attempted to go one step further and attempted to create life by mentally reaching out to the inhabitants of the galaxy.

An act in direct violation of the nature of the Force, Plagueis and Sidious attempted to will a being of their own design into creation, pouring their malicious intent into waves through the Force to the countless midi-chlorians spread across the galaxy.

'All things come at a price, but it would seem that my actions taken have not resulted in a negative income.' Plagueis thought to himself. 'I will have to constantly put my theories to the test to see what is right and what is wrong about the Force.'

The experiment did not yield fruit, however, as Plagueis perceived the Force growing silent to his probing.

Immediately afterwards, Plagueis' test subjects began to succumb to various diseases, and he set most of the survivors free; some of the animals he had experimented on adapted to the forests of Sojourn.

Plagueis had developed a theory that the Force was actively opposed to the Sith's efforts, and he saw each setback in this light.

These events took place in the year prior to the birth of the 'Chosen One.'

A strange occurrence was happening just off of the ship that was owned by some slavers.

If one was to slow down time, and take a closer look at the orbiting light, one would see it was composed of an immaterial substance or energy in a glow of gray color. Its shape is that of an small orb and has no distinguishing features.

The orbiting light circling the planet is also waiting. Waiting for a moment to ensure its survival and maybe even an eventual increase in potential power.

This power being the potential from the human woman known as Shmi Skywalker, the woman that would be the mother of one of the most powerful, or potentially most powerful force user of the star wars universe. Anakin Skywalker, otherwise known as Darth Vader in an alternate reality.

The destined 'Chosen One,' meant to put an end to the Sith and bring balance to the 'Force.'

The orb of light is an expectant soul in waiting to be reincarnated as that very person, with no knowledge that the universe he was to reborn in will not be the same he has originally come to know of.

The grey orb also does not know of the changes that has happened or will happen for his new body, or of what new abilities he would have access that another Anakin would not.

The very year, the very year nothing of importance has happened and nothing much more of importance will happen until a vergence in the Force is made.

Shmi Skywalker has mysteriously come upon the condition known as pregnancy. As to how one could conceive a child by oneself when she does not have the physical capabilities to asexually reproduce is strange.

Some would say she is lying about the fact that she has not been romantically involved with a man, or even involved with another in a adult fashion. More-so considering that she is a slave, and one would think her current owner would not permit something like this to happen.

Despite as to how she has come upon being pregnant, one cannot get around the fact that she is.

Various tests were conducted but no answer could be concluded by the medical droids.

[]

The day had come.

Today is the day a new life is brought into the world.

"... Anakin, Anakin Skywalker."

Usually the day a new life is brought into the galaxy would be celebrated by a lifeforms relatives and extended family or friends. Unfortunately the circumstances of the birth of Anakin Skywalker is not something to be all to happy about.

Being born into slavery is definitely not something to be celebrated but should be of great tragedy. Despite this the event that transpired happens not only the the newborn Anakin, it also happens to other unfortunate souls.

Parents, family and others that would come together to celebrate a new life unfortunately could not be given for Anakin.

[]

Different from most babies that would breathe and cry within a few seconds of being born, the infant Anakin only silently adjusted to his new surroundings, free from the constraint of the womb.

'That was an experience. The gift of life, that keeps on giving. Apparently it has decided to give me another chance.'

'The last thing I remember was...'

His thoughts interrupted by a soft feminine voice, which also causes confusion at the name easily identified using his memories as the name of Darth Vader from the Star Wars universe.

"His name will be Anakin, Anakin Skywalker."

'Did she just say Anakin? Why would anyone from normal the 21st century name their child Anakin?'

Through small silted eyelids, the perspective shown is if the world is a amalgamation of colors that consist of grays, whites, blacks, and tiny button like reds, blues and greens.

'Everything is so blurry. The sounds and light is giving me a headache, it also does not help that my nervous system is currently sending signals all over screaming PAIN.'

Medical droids in the background making a few muffled sounds and the squeaking jingles of mechanical parts moving about in various locations around the white tinted room covered and illuminated by bright lights.

A voice transmitting itself over an intercom speaks in a deep but weirdly high pitched voice in a language unknown that sounded a bit comedic to the infant Anakin.

"Time to go. Be fast with the slave woman and boy."

The medical droids hastily sped up with what they are doing. Quickly going through the motions and preparing to cut the already long operation shorter as to not displease their masters.

The women looks troubled from her expression, but complies with the words spoken by her current slave master and with the droids whom hasten her along as well.

'What's happening now?'

[]

'Well, I have no choice but to accept my current situation.'

A few days had passed, and the entity that has now adopted the name Anakin Skywalker has finally come to terms with his current predicament.

'I didn't exactly want to be reborn as Anakin, let alone as Anakin and a baby. At least I have a chance to avoid being being implanted with a slave chip.'

Despite only existing within this universe for a mere few days, the possibilities and potential of the universe he is in made him excited to fully explore the power of the Force, technology and other aspects of the Star Wars universe.

'Of course, at the top of my priorities is the growth of my power, whether that be the Force itself or through other means, and whos to say this universe I am in is the exact same as canon Star Wars. There could be a whole lot more things to discover, a lot more ways to gain power.'

'Other priorities include learning the languages of this vast galaxy and educating myself on various subjects.'

Every so often medical droids would pass by, checking and doing various tests on children within the futuristic baby ward.

'I am surprised original Anakin did not have his midi-chlorians checked to see if he was force-sensitive by the droids, but then again it may not matter that much to the Hutt empire at large.'

Various machinery that looks like monitors shows many words unknown to the boy and many more symbols and numbers.

'First things first, I guess it is time to practice meditation and see if I can start using the legendary space-magic.'

'I wonder when I will be returned to my new mother. I doubt the Hutt's would spend much money on slaves, or to-be slaves. Not unless it can make a lot of money.'

Born on an unknown world, Shmi Skywalker and her parents were captured by pirates and forced into slavery when she was just a young girl.

She lived a difficult life as a slave and was taken from star system to star system in the servitude of several masters, as the pirates were uninterested in having an extra mouth to feed unless she could provide an essential service to them.

Before she was bought by the Hutt's, Skywalker was once sold in a market like the Zygerrian slave market. Shmi lived with other families in communal quarters during her time as a slave of the some random slavers that had taken her from her family.

One day she had discovered miraculously she had gotten pregnant.

Despite the circumstance of the pregnancy, she not question it, not before or after the recent birthing of her child she named Anakin.

Her beautiful child, that she had come to lover unconditionally mere moments after his birth. A true mystery, conundrum and difficult to explain if her masters cared enough to ask questions related to how she became pregnant.

'No, as far as they are concerned, her newborn child is just another slave to be used, sold or otherwise disposed of if deemed useless.'

Despite being aware of their position, there are even worse positions one in her station could be in. There are also even worse things waiting outside the protection of the Hutt's.

The horrors of space, whether that be other sentient and sapient lifeforms that take many forms or others of her own species. Besides the horrors of intelligent beings, there are other monsters that have no fear with desires and goals unknown to most factions throughout the galaxy.

'Enough of these depressing thoughts. I have to keep checking when the medical droids will release Ani to me.'

Despite the cruelties that could be experienced as a slave, there are at least basic medical checks to make sure slaves are healthy. Sadly the reason for check ups of this sort are not for the right reasons. Slaves, when it comes to the sale of said slaves can increase the price and sale of a slave, and people definitely love having more money.

Luckily even as a slave, she does not have much work to do. This is thanks in part to the current slavers having more then enough slaves and being competent enough to see the value and use of advanced technology, using droids to complete most menial tasks instead of fleshly beings that tire.

Shmi also has had to take some time to recover herself from the lengthy and arduous process of giving birth. Unfortunately she lacks the necessary power in her position to be able to know what is happening to her child, and can only wait.

'I can't wait to go back home.'

Alone in her thoughts until the sound of a door sliding opening and the mechanical sound and heavy footsteps of a medical droid enters her room.

"Excuse me. When will I be able to leave with my child?"

"Soon." Says the droid in a calming synthesized electronic voice.

While his mother is busy recovering, the newborn Anakin is practicing the Force through meditation trying to connect, sense and interact with the mysterious form of energy that has a deep to connection to all living things.

Truly hoping to become powerful, for he knows his future or the original future of the alternate Anakin, he wishes to start his training as early as possible.

From all the information he knows from his last life he would have to find a way to not forget his foreknowledge as it would be key to making sure he doesn't die.

Create someway to protect himself, his mind, his body and his soul because he knows of the powers those who are Force-sensitive can have. He would also have to look into other things, to build himself up.

Physically there is not much he could do but that could be left to his future self right now he needs to find or create ways to make things easier for the future.
