Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 306: A Lesson

"Hahaha... I am... just an old man" Alexander said. He was still deciding on what to permanently call himself, and that's why he paused mid-sentence. But his laughter sounded evil at that moment.

Ahsoka stepped back a few feet. "Huh, don't fear me, girl. I am just here to kill the Hutt clan. They are too problematic. Now, care to tell me your name?"

"I am Ahsoka. You came alone?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, my two friends and my cat also came. Let's go. I've already freed all the slaves." He said and started walking away.

"Wait, what about reinforcements?" She inquired.

"What reinforcements?" He asked back.

"From the Jedi Order. You are from the order aren't you." She questioned. She had been framed for and charged with the bombing of the Jedi Temple Hangar and the murder of Letta Turmond and several troopers. She had left the order behind and didn't know much about its new members and thought he was probably some unknown one.

"Haha, I am not from the Jedi Order of Coruscant. My order is something called the Neutral Ones, and I am its Grandmaster. And I have already taken the planet under control, the Grand Hutt council is already dead." He revealed.

She herself was a grey Jedi now so she understood what kind of Jedi he was. Someone who didn't choose strictly a light or dark side.

"I am very strong, little girl," Alexander replied.

He then waved his hand and dead bodies upon dead bodies of criminals and Hutt council members were thrown into a pit. Then suddenly it caught fire.

The whole place was a mess because of the fight. So he used his magic and fixed the whole place. But for Ahsoka, it was a force ability in action.

She looked at everything going in reverse and fixing themselves in shock. She had never seen such an ability and even that on such a large scale.

Alexander glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. He saw her interest in his abilities. She had been kicked out when she was just a Padawan so she still had a lot to learn.

"Do you wanna learn from me?" He asked.

"W-what would I have to do?" She asked. She was not going to take any weird vows like in the Jedi Order.

"Haha, nothing. I just ask you to use your powers for good. That's it. I don't care about your personal life or what you do in your free time." He blurted.

She liked this. "What will you teach me?"

"Umm... how to use force properly and how to fight," Alexander replied. Although he had no idea how to teach using Force because it came naturally to him.

"Sweet, I want to join, then" Ahsoka cheered.

With a new disciple, Alexander came out of the underground prisons. Just when he had come under the open sky, a starfighter landed in front of him.

Anakin came down from it and walked up to him. Ahsoka recognized him. "Anakin? What are you doing here?"

Anakin was surprised to see her here and unknowingly smiled. "Ahsoka, what are you doing here?"

"Huh, I was infiltrating this place to save the slaves." She proudly announced.

"Then she got caught and was imprisoned." Alexander finished her words.

Ahsoka ignored his revealing the info and asked Anakin, "What about you? What are you doing here, Skyguy? I told you I won't return to the order."

"I'm not here for you. But for him." Anakin said and turned to Alexander.

"Thank you for saving my mother. I will not forget this help." He deeply thanked.

Alexander, out of habit, went ahead and patted his back, "It's all right, kid. I like helping people. Ah, you've got a lot of potential in you. Your connection with the force is much better than anyone else I've met."

"I am Grandmaster Universe. Yeah, Universe is my last name." He introduced himself, deciding to go with the Grandmaster prefix.

Anakin gave proper respect to him as he knew that Grandmaster status was only for those true masters in the ways of the force and he was just a Padawan(unofficially a master).

"Yes, he's pretty strong. He's taken over Hutt's space." Ahsoka flaunted her new master.

"And Tatooine as well," Anakin added, causing Ahsoka to shut up in surprise this time.

Then Anakin got to the business, "Why do you have that ship in the orbit? Those models are only seen under the service of the Republic's military."

"Huh, my ship is way different from any other, kid. It's the best." Alexander proudly boasted.

"Just say it, kid. What do you want? You surely didn't come here to say thank you," he asked.

Anakin firmly held his lightsaber in his hand, "I want to have a duel with you."

Anakin wanted to see firsthand how strong Alexander was. Alexander agreed in a blink, "Sure."

In just a second he readied himself with his golden Lightsaber in his hand. "I recommend you use your full power from the start."

Anakin didn't dare to take him lightly and started the fight. In the beginning, everything went smoothly for the young padawan but soon Alexander started to gradually increase his power behind every lightsaber strike.

Anakin used a combination of Force skills with his fighting. But they were all thwarted by a simple strike from his opponent.

"I'm gonna get a bit serious now," Alexander said and just held his lightsaber in one hand now.

This confused Anakin but he proceeded with caution. However, Alexander suddenly appeared in front of him and made a powerful downward slash. Anakin was only able to defend using his lightsaber.

But his lightsaber was also being slowly cut by Alexander's. "This is the limitation of being a normal Jedi. You have no motivation."

Alexander increased his strength and pressed Anakin more. Anakin fell to his knees while still blocking with his sword.

"Boy, there is no dark or light side in Force, it was made by us. It's just about how you use it. If you were to use the power of the dark side to save people then would that make you a bad man? And if you used the power of the light side for good, would you still be a good man?" He asked.

That question stuck with Anakin in his mind.

"Force is just a means of power. People choose light and dark paths because it takes a lot more mental training to be able to use the powers of both sides and yet not let it corrupt you. You will need to become stronger than the power trying to change you to become a true master Jedi.

"Just because you are force sensitive doesn't mean you need to lose your individuality. You liked podracing and building stuff, right? Why not still do it? You like a girl? Go ahead and marry her, live with her on a planet with a nice view. Do what brings you happiness. But if murder and chaos are what brings you happiness then you were not a good man to begin with. Now, I want you to think of the most loved person in your life.

"Think about how much they love you, care about you. What if something were to happen to you? How would they feel?

"Use the force to not only protect them but yourself too.

"A man must respect himself before forwarding it to others."

Alexander decided to end the lesson there as Anakin was in deep thoughts and retracted his lightsaber. But when Anakin got up, Alexander suddenly attacked him with the lightsaber. But this time Anakin couldn't take out his Lightsaber in time.

Anakin's mind was thinking about Padme and his mother just a moment ago and now this crisis came. He really didn't want to die right now. He wanted to meet them again.

Alexander's sword was about to touch his body but suddenly a bluish bubble formed around him. It was a Protection bubble. A difficult ability to learn and Anakin knew he was not a master of it.

But just to drive the lesson in, Alexander still hit the protection bubble, cutting it in half.

"See that, you don't even know how to make a protection bubble and yet you were able to do it. All because your will to live was strong and hence it molded the Force accordingly. However, you are still not strong enough which is why I was able to cut it." Alexander explained.

Anakin was exhausted at this point, realizing that he was not attacked but was just being taught a lesson. He fell to the ground, breathing heavily.

Ahsoka came to Anakin and gave him some water. "Why did you even challenge a grandmaster?"

Anakin didn't say anything. he didn't drink the water either and just firmly looked at Alexander. He knew the lesson he learned today, the progress he made just by a little spar with Alexander gave him a better understanding of his power than many months of his previous training.

He then loudly spoke, "GRANDMASTER, PLEASE TEACH ME!"
