The Key to the Jedi Cities

Finally by one Jedi Knight, Emperor Palpatine is no more a threat to anyone in any galaxy in the entire universe. It is amazing how one simple and powerful Jedi Knight can put things to right for one young female, and have the entire world be effected.

That was what Grand Master Jedi of Earth and Grand Duke Jedi of all the Jedi Knights, Brandon Bowers had done. When Nomi and Brandon were getting married, Thor told them both that they will be the ones to find the key to all the locations of the Jedi Cities through time and space. If this is true, then Brandon Bowers would indeed be the Grand Duke Jedi Knight of all Jedi Knights.

Earth had recently celebrated their victory and freedom that they have due to this Jedi Knight. If Brandon did not go back in time and right the wrong of Palpatine's influence, then their victory might not be a reality.

All the Goa'uld business that only Brandon Bowers knows about in the alternate time line was all caused by Palpatine himself. The Goa'uld System Lords were his creation. When Palpatine failed with Sam due to the changing her past, everything started to fall apart for him.

Now everything is as it should be. The time line is now running on the direction it should. The Jedi Knights of a galaxy far, far, away are still allies of Earth, and they still live with the humans on Earth.

There are many, many other beings that live on Earth from that same galaxy as well as other beings from different worlds throughout the Universe. If there was a time that Earth was the center of the Universe, it would be now. There are not that many people throughout the Universe that does not know about Earth.

When and this key can be found to release the Ancient Jedi Knights to the present, Earth will become a lot more popular. The Ancient City of the Jedi Knights is starting to be populated by everyone. The city is now a part of Earth without the worry of having the time line kicked around. No one can rightfully change time, but it can be very much influenced.

Will someone else as powerful as Palpatine and the Dark-side of the Force ever try to influence someone's life? Now that Palpatine cannot ever take another host, the Dark-side of the Force's teeth has been removed.

Chapter 1: Family Time

The next day after the grand celebration Earth had for their victory over the Dark-side, Nomi and their 5 year old daughter made breakfast so that Brandon could eat it in bed.

It was Amanda that woke him up. Actually he was awake, but wanted to tease his daughter.

When he opened his eyes, Amanda said, “Good morning daddy. We have breakfast for you.”

Brandon sat up and sounded excited, “WOW! Breakfast in bed, for me!”

Nomi smiled, “She insisted she want to cook all of it.”

Brandon gave her daughter a big smile. “It looks great and smells wonderful. After taking a bite of the fried eggs, Brandon replied, “Yummy! If it looks great, smells wonderful, and taste as good, then you must have done a very good job.”

As Brandon was eating, he asked Nomi, “Love, how do you like living on Earth now that everything is operating as it suppose to be?”

Nomi walked closer to him and gave him a kiss.

Brandon smiled, “Extra sweet on the toast and jam.”

Nomi smiled, “Yep. As long as I have you two in my life, things are running as they should. The rest of the world can wait.”

Brandon asked, “Have you two thought of where you would want to go on our vacation?” Nomi looked at Amanda and back at her husband. “We have been talking about it, but we have not yet made it final.”

“Take your time. I want a place we all can enjoy being together, and take it easy from all we have done these past several years.

“Daddy, how much do you remember of the old time line?”

“I remember all of it, but I am not confused with either one. I can tell the difference between the two due to what Sam and Bodo Bass did for me.”

“It is hard for me to just keep up with this time line.”

Brandon looked at his daughter with a smile. “Thank for your concerns. I love you and your mother very much.”

Nomi stated to her husband, “And we love you very much too.”

Amanda yelled out, “YEAH!”

Since Amanda was sitting right beside her father, Brandon offered her a bit of his toast and jam. She accepted, and took a bite.

Brandon asked his lovely wife, “Want a bite?”

Nomi smiled, “No thank you. I will let you two share it.” In that, Brandon put some eggs on his fork, and offered it to Amanda. She ate it as well.

The phone rang. Before Nomi went after it, Brandon tested his daughter's Force skills. He asked her, “Who is that?”

Amanda said excitingly, “It is Sam!”

Nomi smiled at Amanda, and went to answer the phone. After Nomi and Sam did their chit chat, Nomi gave Brandon the phone.

“How are you my Padawan?”

“I am doing great Master. I wanted to call you before Jack, Charlie, Richard, and I took off for our vacation.”

“Give everyone my love, and may the Force be with you all.”

“May the Force be with you Master.”

Brandon smiled, “I believe there is a little girl that is at my side wants to say a few words to you before you set off.”

“Hi Aunt Sam. Please tell Jack I got his gift, and I love it!”

Sam replied, “I sure will. Your mommy told me about where you want to go on your vacation.”

“I would love to journey Earth in that time period.”

“I am sure you will find a lot of interesting things to see and even have in your collection.”

Amanda asked, “Where are you all going for your vacation?”

Sam felt that Amanda was concerned for her safety being a part from her father. Sam replied, “We are going to France. There was a lot that I miss the last time I was there with you father. Do not worry about us. We will be safe. You father has taught me a lot of the Force. I should be able to handle all that come my way.”

Amanda stated, “This will be the first time you two have been separated in a very long time.”

“I will be fine. While I am not with you father, you watch after him for me, okay?

Amanda looked at his father, “I will. See you when we get back.”

Sam said before she hanged up, “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

As Brandon was finishing off his coffee, he said to his daughter excitingly, “So, we are going to visit Earth in the same time period as the Ancient City of the Jedi Knights?”

Amanda smiled, “Yes. I would love to take some of the rocks and put them in my collection.”

Brandon replied, “Wow! I am sure Earth will have them in that time period.”

Amanda asked, “So you want that to be our vacation daddy?”

Brandon looked at her daughter with a big smile.

That was the only answer she needed.

Nomi took the tray and dishes from her husband. They both left so he could get cleaned up and dressed.

After 10 or so minutes, Brandon walked in the living room to be with his family.

Brandon asked, “Who wants to go a vacation?”

Amanda yelled out, “I do!”

Nomi smiled, “Go to your room gather what you want to take. I will have a suite case ready for you shortly.” Amanda's father said, “Take your time. We can sleep in the good outdoors.”

Amanda got very excited over what her father said. Amanda took off to her room.

Nomi got excited, “I remembered we did that the first night we set foot there.”

Brandon replied with a loving smile, “I do too my love. I do too.”

They came ever so close to each other and kissed and hugged one another. At that moment, the world appeared to stay still to them.

**********

The three of them got everything packed and ready to go to the SGC. They carried a picnic basket with them so they can have their first picnic lunch in Earth far past. When they got to the SGC, Colonel Davis was in charge.

When Brandon saw him, he smiled, “Do we call you General Davis?”

Colonel Davis answered with a smile, “No. Since there is nothing really going on with the SGC, I decided to take Jack's place until he gets back.”

Brandon smiled, “I cannot see a better person behind the wheel.”

After the other pleasantries, Brandon said, “We are her to go to on our vacation.”

“Where to?”

Amanda answered, “The Grand City of the Jedi.”

Colonel Davis replied, “Wow! I bet you can find a number of rocks and other stuff for your collection.”

Amanda just nodded.

Colonel Davis smiled, “To go there we need a young lady to use the Force to dial to that place. Think you can do?”

Amanda smiled back, “Yes sir, I can.”

Amanda closed her eyes to concentrate on the Force. When she got her mind set, she opened her eyes once again, and did the proper movements. When she was done, the Stargate started to dial the location.

Amanda looked at Colonel Davis once again, and gave him a smile.

Colonel Davis replied with a smile of his own.

They first allowed the transport to carry their luggage through. Amanda said her goodbyes to Colonel Davis before going through the wormhole with her parents.

Brandon almost forgot how peaceful this place was.

Nomi said with a smile, “We both decided to have our vacation here because of the peace and quiet. Everyone on Earth can have their chance to thank you for all you have done for them, later. We both want you to have a time away from it all...even them.”

Brandon smiled at his wife, “Thank you love.”

“Please can we eat? I am hungry.”

Her father stated, “All this time, I thought you name was Amanda.”

“I am a hungry Amanda.”

Nomi replied, “Okay hungry Amanda, want to pick the spot we will be having our picnic?”

When Amanda finally picked the spot, everyone started to setup the picnic.

As Amanda was helping her father set up the blanket, Nomi asked her daughter, “Do you realize what spot you chosen?”

“Yes I do. I used the Force to bring me to the closest place you two have been together.”

Brandon smiled, “This is where Nomi and I first cuddled close. It was also the place I realized what planet we were on since that first night we came here.”

Amanda asked, “How did you realize that daddy?”

“I will show you tonight. It was when it got dark that allowed me to see what planet we were on.”

Amanda helped her mother set the plates and eating utensils out. Before too long they were all eating lunch.

Amanda asked, “When will it get dark?”

Nomi answered, “You should be able to tell that. Remember what Luke taught you?”

Amanda closed her eyes to concentrate on the Force to see when it will get dark. “It will get dark in a few hours. When we came here, the time was not the same.”

Brandon relied, “That is right. The days here are a few hours shorter than in the 21st Century.”

“Why is that daddy?”

“The Earth is a little closer to the sun than it is in our time. Not all that much, but it is just the same. That is why the temperature is about the same in both time periods.”

Amanda asked, “What made the Earth move further away?”

Nomi answered, “Everything in the universe expands.”

“Will the Earth move further away from where it is in the 21st Century?”

Her mother answered, “It took a trillion years for it to move a very small distance. We might need to travel 1 trillion years in the future from the 21st Century and find out.”

Amanda said, “I first want to spend some time here in this time.”

Her father smiled, “That we will.”

After they finished eating and cleaned up, Nomi and Brandon showed Amanda some of the city. Amanda came here before, but she was far too young to remember.

After the tour, they went back to the same spot they had the picnic. All three of them lay on their back to watch the sky.

When the stars finally came out, Amanda said, “WOW! That is how you knew you were on Earth.”

Brandon replied, “That is absolutely correct. It was the first time I saw the constellations I realized where we were.”

“You should have seen your father. I had to nearly put your father's face on him after he realized where we were.”

Amanda just laughed. “You are telling me that the Force did not tell you where you all were?”

Nomi answered, “To be honest, we did not try to find out. We never knew we could be teleported that far from one galaxy to another as well as the time period we traveled. It was Daniel that found out what time we were in. I think that is what shocked everyone and amazed them at the same time.”

Amanda asked, “Interesting that the constellations are the same as in the 21st Century.

Her father said, “That was what shocked me the most. I realized what I saw, but did not believe it.

Amanda asked again, “So that is why Palpatine wanted to use the Death Star to attack the Earth.”

Her father said, “We are not all that sure he wanted to attack Earth. After one the SGC teams found the plans, we destroyed it long before it had a chance to attack anything.”

Nomi smiled, “Sam and your father did a very good job.”

Brandon smiled, “Right after that you were born.”

Nomi smiled at her daughter, “The last part was the best.”

All the sudden, a very large meteor shot down from the sky.

Amanda was using the Force to monitor the finally location. It must have been a very hard hit because the all could hear the impact.

Amanda asked, “Are we going to check it out?”

Nomi answered, “It is dark, but I would sleep better if we know if that meteor is causing any dangerous radio activities.”

Brandon replied, “I do not think that is the case, but we should check it out to see what it hit.”

The three of them went to investigate. Nomi and Brandon used their lightsabers to give light so they can see where they were going. Lucky for them it was an easy walk.

Brandon said, “For some reason there is a trail that leads to our location.”

Amanda asked, “The Ancient Jedi must have traveled to this location a great deal?”

Nomi replied, “Could be baby.”

After a good 13 minute walk, they arrived to where the meteor hit. There was no radiation at all other than from the heat of the meteor that carved through a small opening on a cave. Brandon used the Force to examine what was inside. Brandon did not get anything from Force other than a need to go in.

Brandon asked Nomi and Amanda to follow him inside.

After walking in several feet, Nomi said, “There is another transporter that we saw on my planet.”

Brandon said, “So it seems.”

Before Amanda could ask where they would be going, there were surrounded by another sunset.

There were outdoors, but they were not sure where or when there were located.

Amanda asked, “Are we still on Earth.”

Her mother answered, “Not sure.”

Both the lightsabers went off.

Brandon said calmly, “Stay here. I am going to get a higher view.” Brandon jumped on highest and safest point of the nearest tree.”

Amanda said, “I have never seen a tree that tall.”

Her mother replied, “Neither have I.”

After a few minutes, Brandon jumped back down towards them. I did not see any movement, but I did see a very large passageway. We better start walking. We might find a better place to spend the night. They walked an hour or so.

Brandon said, “Let's rest here for a bet. As they were resting for just a few minutes Amanda noticed there was a glowing light in the woods.

Nomi said, “Looks like a large campfire. It looks too isolated to be a forest fire.”

Brandon said in amazement, “The people there seem to be friendly, but what creatures are with them….. You are not going to believe it.”

After Amanda used the Force, she smiled, “Dinosaurs!”

Nomi replied, “I need to see this face to face.” The three of them started on their journey.

When they got in eye sight Nomi face nearly dropped. Amanda was ever so excited.

Brandon said, “I think we need to find out where we are going before we start off teleporting anywhere for now on.”

Nomi replied with a smile, “Good idea.”

Finally someone at the camp saw them.

After a few moments, a lady came to them with a big smile on her face. “Hello. Please join us. I am the leader of this caravan. My name is Rosemary Seville.”

Nomi smiled back, “I am Nomi Bowers, this is my husband Brandon, and our daughter Amanda. We are sorry to have intruded.”

Rosemary replied, “Nonsense. Please follow me.”

As they were following her towards the others, Amanda asked, “Rosemary, are these real dinosaurs?”

Rosemary smiled, “Yes they are.”

She looked at the visitors clothes, “I take it you are not from here.”

Brandon answered, “No we are not. We just arrived.”

Rosemary said, “You three must have arrived here in Dinotopia in a very unique way. There is no stream for anything to travel on, and we would have heard you if you landed from the air.”

“Yes we did arrive here in a very unique manner. It might be a bit for you to understand.”

When they arrived near the large campfire, Rosemary said, “We have had a good many from outside of Dinotopia to come here. We would be grateful if you can share your story with us.”

Right after they got seated a large limb started to fall down right on top of Rosemary's head. Suddenly Brandon closed his eyes to use the Force to stop the tree limb. Seeing that is was dry wood, Brandon used the Force to move the limb on top of the campfire. Everyone was amazed at what happened.

Rosemary smiled, “Thank you.” She paused and continued, “I would say you three did come here in a very unique fashion.”

After looking at the stars, Amanda tugged on her father's shirt. When he looked at her, she pointed at the stars. After a moment, Brandon realized they were on Earth. He then examined more closely of all the dinosaurs around the campfire.

Brandon said, “From the looks of it, we are on Earth, but not sure what time period.” Rosemary replied, “Let me help you on that part. We all are in the early 21th Century, 2009 to be exact.”

Brandon was astonished. “I thought the dinosaurs were dead millions of years ago?” Rosemary replied with a smile, “As you can see, they are not.”

After seeing Amanda getting all excited and seeing all the dinosaurs in front of her, Rosemary continued, “Now it is my turn to figure you three out.” She paused and continued, “From what I have read from Dinotopian History Books, I say that you two adults are Jedi Knights.”

All three of them looked right at Rosemary.

Nomi asked, “The Ancient Jedi Knights came here?”

Rosemary answered, “Yes they did. They also left something a great value. It has been recorded that two Jedi Knights and a little girl will be visiting us. My husband has been instructed to give you something.”

Amanda asked, “What is it?”

Rosemary answered, “I do not know. I have never seen it.”

From looking at all of them, Brandon realized they have never had experienced what has been happening in the past several years. “Did you know that the Jedi Knights have been on Earth the past several years?”

“No I did.”

Brandon explained of all the events that went on Earth for a good number of years. Everyone was very amazed of what Brandon told them.

Rosemary said, “I am not sure why we have been isolated from the rest of the world, but we have. It might have to do with this key that you all were meant find.”

Nomi replied, “Since our wedding day, we were told of this. No details, but we were told that we will be the ones to find a key or a map of all the cities of the Jedi Knights throughout time and space. We just came 1 trillion years in the past of Earth. We started there to take our vacation.”

“For what you have done for Earth, I would say you all need that vacation. I want you three to enjoy yourselves. My husband is the Mayor of Waterfall City. I will talk to him about this key, artifact, map, or whatever it might be.”

In the morning, we will be setting off again to Waterfall City. It would be my pleasure for you three to join us.”

Amanda replied, “That would be wond....” Amanda was not able to finish.

She gave a big yawn. Amanda replied, “Excuse me.”

Rosemary smiled, “No problem. We ourselves were about to call it a night before you three showed up.” Amanda then cuddled up against a baby Protoceratops, and went to sleep.

Nomi and Brandon started to lie down near Amanda.

The fire went on all night. It was there not only to give light, but to keep everyone warm. It can get very cold on Dinotopia during the evenings. It was not long for all three of Dinotopian visitors went to sleep.

Not only are these three Dinotopian visitors here for their well needed vacation, but they are here to take back with them the map that will allow them to bring more and more of the Ancient Jedi Knight history to the present time. The circle is now complete, but the new journeys will be set by what this map will give.

Nomi, Amanda, and Brandon will be learning a lot about Dinotopia and the Ancient Jedi Knights as they continue to stay in Dinotopia. They will find that the Ancient Jedi Knights did a lot on Earth in a lot of time periods throughout.

Earth was the Jedi Knights home. They want to keep their planet going as much as the people that are living on Earth in the 21st Century, and many more years to come. When these Jedi Knights that have been scattered throughout time and space come to Earth, less and less of the power of the Dark-side will be.

Who do you think that scattered the Jedi Knights in the first place? Palpatine knew he had to divide and conquer. Now through one Jedi Knight, that has put to right the path of his Padawan, all Jedi Knights will be able to come together as they should. Yes the circle is complete for the Light-side of the Force, but the journey continues. The next step comes from these three new visitors of Dinotopia.
