Now that everything is as it should be, everyone on Earth including the Jedi Knights were getting ready to show their love and thanks to Her Majesty Sam O'Neill.
Not even all the Jedi Knights from a galaxy far, far away could not come close to do what Sam has done for Earth and its people.
Due to Sam training Brandon, he was able to do all that he did for Earth.
That enabled him and his wife to become part of the Royal Family.
That is right, these two will also be pampered and show love by all on Earth.
As these three gets that love and pampering,
the Jedi Knights and Earth will start to get a system set so that the Jedi Knight with their Earthly allies can start bringing the ancient past of the Jedi Knights to the present,
and to Earth.
Oriana Nascava Carter will be the one that will representing the ancient Jedi Knights to the present time.
This task will not be easy.
There will be opposition, even from the living that have been protecting their ancient heritage.
Oriana's job would be to convince them that they can trust the Jedi Knights of today.
The people of Dinotopia will also have their role to play in bringing the ancient past of the Jedi Knights to Earth of the 21st Century.
Since that island had everything to with the ancient Jedi Knights, the people that have been living in Dinotopia all their lives will make a big difference in connecting with the kinsfolk of the ancient Jedi Knights.
If these Dinotopians cannot help bond these people to Earth in the 21st Century, then it would make it much harder for the Jedi Knights of today to do their jobs.
In knowing the Dinotopians, Luke Skywalker has confidence that they will make a giant difference.
Luke and the Jedi Council does not expect their new task to be easy.
Chapter 1: The Royal Family
Her Majesty Sam O'Neill was finally starting to settle in her new life as the Queen of the Jedi Knights. She was enjoying all the love and support everyone was giving her.
Ever since she has learned about going to the cities or where ever the ancient history of the Jedi Knights were located, she wanted to be one of the first team to go there. Now that she is a Queen, she knew her values and desires has changed dramatically. Sam has finally come to realize that she had to allow everyone on Earth to show their gratitude on all that she has done for them. She just could not run to every mission and deprive everyone from their gatitude.
“If I am going to continue to support Earth and everyone on it as I have done, then I cannot go jotting off through the Stargate as I have before. I would miss those adventures, but I must stay here because of all that want to show their unconditional gratitude towards me. As Jack has stated to me, I can do more for the ancient Jedi Knight by not sticking my head into dangerous places. I am sure after being pampered a short time, I will start to enjoy myself too much to care to go through the Stargate.”
As Sam was sitting on her thrown thinking, her dearest friend came to her.
Casandra said, “Okay, I see you are concerned about something. Spill it!”
Sam smiled, “Is there anything I can do to keep you from knowing about it?”
Casandra thought about it for a moment, and then answered, “Nope. I know you far too well girl friend. If I am right, you are in conflict in staying here to allow everyone on Earth to paper you as you deserve, and wanting to go on these missions for the Jedi Knights.”
“I will have to test you one day to see if you can use the Force.”
Casandra said, “Nearly every Jedi Knight has done so in one way or the other. They all say negative. Anyhow, it is you that I can fully understand. What these Jedi Knights has got me to do is to get information about you that they cannot otherwise.”
Sam looked stunned at her.
Cassandra smiled, “Do not worry goof ball, I did not give away everything I know about you.”
Sam smiled, “You know that I am a private person.”
Cassandra replied, “In this alternate time line, I am sure I had to kick that ass to get you straighten out from all that you had to deal with regarding Palpatine.”
Sam sighed, “A number of times, and I am very grateful that you did.”
Cassandra smiled, “In this time line, I am the royal ass kicker.”
“Wait a minute! I did not give you that responsibility.”
Corran walked closer to two of them. “No you did not. I gave her that duty.”
When Sam looked at her Master, she gave him a smile. “I should have guested it would be you.”
Corran smiled back, “It is your fault you know. It was your idea to give me all those memories of the alternate time line.”
“If I am not mistaken, I would bet that Jack talked you into having Cassandra to be this royal ass kicker.”
Corran said seriously, “Your Majesty, we all love you. We all want you to enjoy life as you have made it possible for all on Earth to do and all the Jedi Knights. It was you that discovered that this Death Star existed.”
A lady came to Her Majesty. Since she over heard the conversations, she said, “Your Majesty, in knowing all the love that you have given us, saving all our lives due to this Death Star, and all the other many, many things you have done for Earth, I know it will be hard for you to allow us to show you our gratitude. Please let's do it just the same.”
Sam smiled at her. Kim, I thank you. What I have done for all on Earth is what any military soldier would have done.”
Corran stated, “Your Majesty, you know that is a bunch of fudo! A large platoon could not do a quarter of what you have done for every living being on this planet. Do I have to order “The Royal Ass Kicker to...”
Sam interrupted with a half smile, “Wait a minute!”
Both Cassandra and Corran laughed.
Kim Maxwell, started to laugh too.
Kim said, “Sorry Your Majesty, but please let all that we have said be a sign of the love that you and you alone have done for us all.”
Sam looked at Cassandra still showing a big smile. Then she looked at her Master. He showed a serious look at her.
Sam then looked at Kim. “I know you all need to show your love and support towards me. I just hope I do not enjoy it too much.”
Kim said, “If you can enjoy our love in everything we will be doing for you, then that will make us very, very happy.”
Sam then smiled and said, “I will do that then.”
Kim gave Sam a big smile.
Before she darted off, she told her why she was sent to her. “Your Majesty, I was sent here to you by your mother, Oriana Nascava Carter. She has signed me the task to be your personal helper.”
Sam replied with a smile, “She did send me a message telling me about you. That is how I knew you name.”
Sam introduced both Cassandra and her Master to Kim. “These two and another will be at my side, Barbara Bowers.”
Kim responded with a smile, “Barbara and I met before I came here.”
Sam smiled, “Good. She is a very good person to get to know.”
**********
As Sam was starting on her new path in her life, the Aarons were settling back in where they live.
Ben was ranked Apprentice in the Skybax Corp. Emily has not yet been part of the skybax training. At this time Emily was in charge of one of Jedi Academy in Columbia, South Carolina. That was keeping her very busy to be trained as a skybax or anything else. Just the same, Emily was wanting to be a skybax rider at her earliest convenience.
Right now Emily was with her family helping them settle back in there home.
Christi said, “It is great to be back. Do not get me wrong, I loved the adventures we had, but I am very happy it is over with.”
Chip, Christi's husband, replied, “I completely agree with you.”
Chewbacca growled. Chip had learned to understand what Chewie was saying.
Chip replied, “Thank you Chewie. We think Earth is a great planet too. Everyone on Earth appreciate all of you from a galaxy far, far away in helping protect us all in the war with Palpatine.”
Chewie growled again. Emily also understood what Chewie was saying.
Emily stated, “You are right my friend. If it was not for Sam, we all could be dead or slaves to Palpatine and his minions. In all what Grammy told us on what Sam went through in the alternate time line, Sam deserves a lot more than what we on Earth can give her. I could not imagine what I would do if I went through half of what she did.”
Ben put down what he was working on, “I was talking with Brandon the other day. He told me more of what Sam told them before her ceremony, and the bad dreams he had from Palpatine.”
Christi replied, “Bad dreams! What do you mean?”
Ben told them all of what Brandon shared with him.
Christi said, “I can see why Brandon is part of this Royal Family.”
Ben clarified, “What Brandon has told me about that, he and Nomi were called by those titles before he had these dreams. How Brandon and Nomi got these titles is only because of Sam.”
Christi asked, “I know that Sam trained Brandon to be a Jedi Knight, but how does Nomi fit in?”
Ben answered, “It was Sam that made a difference in having Brandon meet Nomi, in both time lines.”
Chip asked, “I know and understand that Sam is very powerful with the Force, but how can she be responsible for Brandon meeting Nomi, and in both time lines?”
“For bringing the Jedi Knights to Earth in the alternate time line, all that she has done with the Force for Earth, and having the Jedi Knights here on Earth in this time line.”
Chip replied, “I know all about that, but I did not realize Sam made such an impact.”
Chewie said something with Emily interpreting, “In all the years I have seen the Jedi Knights in my galaxy and this one, I have never seen the lot of them as powerful as Her Majesty.”
Ben replied, “Same here Chewie. Sam is one special person, even without the Force. I am sure it has to do with her being the child of Bodo Bass and Oriana, but her being Sam is a lot more than the ancient past of the Jedi Knights.”
Chip said in complete awe, “What is so amazing to me about Sam is that she were able to share the genetic structure of the Force.”
Chip asked Chewie if he knew of any Jedi that has done something like this.
Chewie did not know of any.
**********
Brandon, Nomi, and Amanda went back to the island of Dinotopia in the 21st Century after the Ceremony and grand celebration. Sam staid in the same time period. For some reason, Sam did not want to be anywhere else. After all she was born in that time period, and had a lot to learn about it. Brandon thought about staying with her Master, but Brandon was not the one to have people pamper him.
He knew that they will soon enough, after all they were part of the Royal Family. If it was not for Sam training him, he would not have met Nomi. By having Nomi with them on Earth, she and Brandon has done great things for everyone on Earth.
Nomi said, “Sam is at her thrown, and we are here in Dinotopia at ours.”
Brandon replied, “Damn, I forgot about the thrown here.”
Nomi gave Brandon a big hug. She said to him, “I know you love, but you must allow Earth to give you all their love. You have done great things for Earth just as much as Sam has done.”
Brandon sighed, “I know my love. All I want is to be with you and Amanda.”
Amanda replied, “In a month, I will be with Oriana to have her complete my Jedi training.”
Brandon smiled at her daughter. “You have been learning a great deal already.”
Amanda smile was the only thing she needed to say.
Brandon replied to her smile, “I am very proud of you, and what you have accomplished for yourself. Neither you mother, nor I have forced you in any way to be a Jedi Knight. When we saw the excitement in you when you were silently telling us about Sam's mother being your Jedi Master, the only thing we could do is give you our support.”
Amanda asked, “I have wondered how you two were able to know what I was going to tell you both?”
Nomi and Brandon smiled.
Amanda's mother answered, “When we first saw you, we did not notice anything. It was when you were following Oriana's lead that said volumes. We knew then that you were wanting to be her Padawan.”
Amanda's father smiled, “You see love, only a Padawan will follow the lead of their Master. Since you are young, it really stood out.”
Amanda gave a smile of her own, “I was very excited about Master Oriana training me when she confronted with this. I know I am young...”
Nomi interrupted, “Amanda, you are never too young. Remember how young Anakin Skywalker was when Obi-Wan Kenobi started to train him to be a Jedi Knight.”
Amanda was quiet for a moment. She was concerned if she is being trained too early, and would it cause her to be tempted by the Dark-side of the Force, like Anakin.
Since Oriana was Amanda's Jedi Master, she was always close by. Oriana came up to them quietly. Nomi and Brandon noticed her, but Amanda did not. She was to occupied in her thoughts to notice what was going on around her.
Nomi walked up closer to Oriana. Nomi whispered in Oriana's ear about what they talking about. Oriana nodded, and understood.
By Oriana's body language, both Nomi and Brandon got the message that she wanted to be with Amanda alone. The two of them allowed Oriana to be alone with their daughter. It was when Oriana sat down Amanda recognized her.
Amanda stood respectfully as seasoned Padawan should. Oriana smiled and said, “Please sit beside me. I think we need to have a talk.”
Amanda did as she was instructed. Oriana gave her the time to allow Amanda to tell her what was bothering her. Amanda finally said, “I was concerned if being trained too young would cause me to turned to the Dark-side, like Anakin Skywalker.”
Without any changes in her facial expressions, Oriana replied, “Anakin did not turn to the Dark-side because his Jedi training was started at a young age. During that time, a lot of children about your age were trained in the Force. Anakin was influenced by Palpatine. It was Anakin's choice, but he turned to the Dark-side due to Palpatine.”
Seeing that did not help Amanda all that much, Oriana continued, “Have you had anyone or anything wanting to turn you to the Dark-side?”
Amanda finally smiled, “No Master. They have not. I guess why I am so concerned is that I want to make you proud of me. I would not want the Dark-side to take that from either of us.”
Oriana replied, “You have nothing to worry about my dear Padawan. I am always proud of you. Since I am your Master, I will always close by.”
Oriana stood up. She turned around to face Amanda and said, “I think I know what will cheer you up.”
Amanda asked, “What is that?”
Oriana smiled and said, “Let's go for a visit.” Oriana paused for a moment and continued, “To see Sam.”
Amanda got very excited. “Want me to dial for the wormhole Master?”
Oriana smile, “If you are up to it, yes.”
Amanda used the Force to do just that.
**********
Her Majesty was getting her first royal full body massage by her personal helper, Kim Maxwell.
Sam was about to fall asleep from it before she sensed, from the Force that her mother and Amanda was near. Seeing that Queen O'Neill had her eyes wide open, Kim asked, “What is the matter my Queen?”
Sam answered, “My mother is here. Please.....” Oriana said, “Hi Sam.” While still lying on her stomach, Sam gave her mother and Amanda a big smile.
Amanda smiled back and said, “It is ever so wonderful to see you Your Majesty.”
As Sam was getting up, Sam replied, “It is my honor Amanda.”
After Sam was on her feet, she walked to where her clothes where. Kim helped Sam get dressed. While Sam was getting dressed, Oriana told her daughter through the Force what has been bothering Amanda. Sam replied to her mother by the same manner that she would talk to her.
After Sam was completely dressed in her royal outfit, Sam asked Amanda if she would love a tour of the royal palace.
Amanda answered, “Yes I would.”
Before they started Sam told Amanda, “When we are alone, you can call me Sam.”
Amanda smiled, “I know that. I love you so much that I would rather call you Your Majesty.
Sam gave Amanda a large smile. “I love you too. I will always be there for you.”
The two of them went on their tour. As they were walking, Amanda said, “There is something that has been concerning me lately. Since I know what you been through in the alternate time line, I think you are the only one I can rightfully talk to you about this.”
Sam smiled to give comfort. “You can talk to me anytime on anything you want to. There is nothing more important to me then family. You are family to me Amanda.”
Amanda did not respond to Sam's statement. Instead Amanda said, “I have been concerned the past few days of the possible dangers of being trained to young. I know that there were children about my age that were trained to use the Force during the years when Anakin Skywalker was alive, but that has not helped me on how I have been feeling lately.”
Sam asked, “How have you been feeling?” Amanda answered with a strong look in Sam's eyes, “Very scared.”
Sam asked, “What makes you feel bad on being trained at your age?”
Amanda answered, “Master Anakin was trained at a young age, and became Darth Vader. I am afraid that I could be tempted by the Dark-side.”
Sam replied, “Have you been?”
Amanda answered, “No I have not.”
Sam asked, “What else has been bothering you?”
Amanda was surprised. “How did you know there was more.”
Sam gave her a small smile. “You are not the first to feel this way. Even as adults, we have our self doubts. What all that you have been dealing in your life, I know you will be come a very good person. I was not surprised to hear that mom wanted to be your Jedi Master.”
Sam was quiet for a moment to allow Amanda to share to her more of what is bothering her. Amanda finally said, “From the beginning I want to be a Jedi Knight because of me. Here lately I feel overwhelmed that I am expected to be like my parents. All I want to do is to be me.”
Sam smiled and replied, “You are a very smart young lady. There will be people that will expect you to be in the shadows of your family that has been Jedi Knights before you, but mom will never expect you to be nothing more than who you are.”
Sam told about how she felt at first being a Padawan with her Master, Coran Corn. Sam told Amanda that she felt that everyone was looking at her in every direction. “I was in a strange world all alone.”
Amanda asked, “How did you feel about being alone?”
Sam answered, “It was very terrifying.”
Amanda came up to Sam, and gave her a loving hug. While hugging her, Amanda said, “I am happy you are with us now.”
Sam hugged Amanda back. “If it was not for me training your father, he would not have been able to go back in time to rescue me from that time line.”
“You see Your Majesty how much a difference you have made to all of us?”
Sam gave Amanda a big smile. “Yes I do. I am going to do another good deed. Please Amanda stop thinking you have to fit in our shoes to be a Jedi Knight or anything else you want to do in your life.”
Amanda replied with a smile, “For you I will.”
“Please never live you life for me, live for yourself.”
Sam and Amanda continued the tour.
Amanda asked, “How are you liking being the Queen?”
Sam answered, “At first I was feeling uncomfortable about having everyone doing everything for me. I am so use to doing things for myself.”
Amanda explained to Sam that her father was feeling the same way.
Sam replied, “It is your father that deserves all the pampering more than me.”
“I was thinking that the both of you deserve all that and more. Your Majesty, you have done so much for everyone on Earth.”
Sam smiled, “I know. I was there, remember.”
Amanda gave her a smile.
When they came up to the royal garden, Amanda replied with a big wow!
Amanda was in awe. “It is very beautiful! It is amazing how these sun stones can help grow all the plant life that are in this garden. Have the scientist ever discovered what made the sunstones work?”
“I have not yet gotten any reports yet, but I do not think they will. I have used the Force many times on them, and I have not come up with anything.”
Amanda walked around the garden taking in all that she saw. “Some of these plants are not around today....I mean in the 21st Century.”
Sam smiled, “No they are not. I do not think they will live if we moved some of them to the 21st Century. I think these plants will only live here in the World Beneath.”
Amanda used the Force to examine them. She found out that they did not come from Earth.
Seeing how excited Amanda was after examining the plant she was looking at, “Most if not all of these plants you see came from Ambria.”
“It seems that planet has more than meets the eye.”
Sam replied, “Master Bratac and Teal'c are still on that planet. From the latest report I have read, they are finding a lot of interesting things there.”
“Will the Jedi Knights and the SGC teams wait to travel to these places this Holocron have shown till Master Bratac and Teal'c finish with why they are in Ambria?”
Sam answered, “Luke told me a few hours ago, that it would not make a difference. He told me the quicker they can start, the better. I have to agree with him. What can be found on Ambria will be told. All the Jedi Knights do know how to use the Force to call up a wormhole to travel to Ambria if Master Bratac and Teal'c finds anything they might need. Talking to mother about this, she does not believe that Ambria has any artifact that anyone will need on these journeys.”
