After hearing Yoda say he would be allowed to join the Jedi Order Aelius couldn't stop a smile from forming on his face.
Because it meant he would now be able to take his first steps in learning and mastering the ways of the Force.
A goal he already planned to achieve whether the Jedi took him in or not.
Since with his second set of memories he knew of many ways he could learn about the ways of the Force without having to rely on the Jedi Order.
Especially given their policies and general disposition.
Which was absolutely pathetic compared to the Jedi he remembers from the games and comics during the era of the Old Republic and even further back due to his second set of memories.
Aelius even reasons a recently minted Knight from the era past could reasonably body most Jedi of the current era without braking too much of a sweat.
Save for a few like Yoda and Mace Windu.
But then those two were already in classes all their own so maybe that wasn't a fair comparison.
Though back to the point.
Aelius is about to become a badass, light sword weidling, space wizard!
Making this the happiest moment he has experienced since waking up in the Star Wars universe.
"Young Aelius?" Plo Koon spoke.
Leading to Aelius coming out of his own head. "Yes?"
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Yes. I'm just fine master Plo Koon. Just happy I will be able to join the ranks of your order is all."
"No need to thank us young Sunrider. For your induction into our order was due in large part to your own abilities." Master Sifo-Dyas explained.

(A/N: Also this isn't made up Sifo-Dyas did sir on the Jedi High Council. It's on the official Star Wars wiki)
"Yes, speak the truth master Sifo-Dyas does. Incredible abilities you possess young Sunrider." Yoda spoke. "And guide you in controlling them the order will." He explained.
"Understood, master." Aelius replied.
Once he did the council meeting was adjourned.
After which Plo Koon once again began leading Aelius through the halls of the Jedi Temple.
Until eventually they reached one of the temples numerous living quarters areas.
Specifically one room.
When they did Plo Koon knocked.
A second after he did both he and Aelius heard a young male voice speak up.
"Come in." It said.
When this happened Plo Koon entered the room, Aelius right behind him.
Then once inside Aelius looked around and found the room he was in looked similar to a dorm room.
Two beds, two desks, two closets, a single window. They even had a bathroom.
But hardly anything else.
Oh and Aelius also noted one side of the room was occupied by a male about his age with silver hair and grey eyes.
Which would have freaked him out in his other life.
But he knew the Star Wars universe was full of species, and various offshoots of humans, that had evolved to have natural hair and eyes colors that didn't exist back in his old world.
So he didn't make a fuss about the boys appearance.
Which was already quite handsome.
And Aelius is secure enough in his own manhood to admit that.
He also knew the boy in front of him would have women chasing him when he got older.
Leading Aelius fo wonder if that would also be the case with him.
Since he is in a universe with alien women and well...
"Oh, master Plo Koon good day to you. And you as well..." The boy spoke.
Getting Aelius mind out of the gutter.
"Oh, my name is Aelius Sunrider. And you are?"
"Wait Sunrider? Does that mean you're related to those famous Sunrider Jedi?" The boy asked. A curious expression on his face.
"I mean I'm pretty sure." Aelius admitted.
Though he still wasn't certain.
Since he has no idea about his parents in his current life.
He can't recall a single memory about them. All he does recall is growing up in that orphanage on Dantooine.
So he can't say for certainty yet he is in fact a Sunrider.
Though again he is pretty sure.
"I see." The boy reply. "Alright then. Oh and my name is Marcellus Antilles by the way."
"So like the ones from Aldeeran?" Aelius asked.
"Yep. One and the same." Marcellus replied.
"Cool."
"Thank you" Marcellus said.
"I'm glad to see you two are getting along so well. It means my decision was right." Plo Koon suddenly spoke. Drawing both boys attention to him.
"Um, what decision are you talking about master Plo Koon?" Aelius asked.
"Yes, what do you mean?" Marcellus questioned.
"Well you see Marcellus due to certain events Aelius here will be joining the Jedi Order today. But seeing as how I knew that would likely be the case, and wanting to get him set up as quickly as possible, I looked through the current initiate clans on our journey here to Coruscant and decided to place him in your Thranta Clan. I also decided to make him your roommate." Plo Koon explained to the boys. "Does either of you have a problem with that?"
"No." Aelius replied.
"Not at all." Marcellus said.
"Good." Plo Koon spoke. "Well then I'll leave you boys to get to know each other a bit better."
"Wait but master Plo Koon I don't have anything." Aelius said. "No clothes, or learning materials."
"So not worry. All will be provided to you before the end of the day." Plo explained.
"Good to know." Aelius replied.
Once he did Plo Koon did fake his leave.
After which Aelius turned to Marcellus and got ready to ask him another question.
*Grr!*
Only for his stomach to do the asking first.
"So as you can see my stomach needs some food. Do you mind showing me where the mess hall is?"
"Sure. No problem. In fact I was just headed that way before you and master Plo Koon arrived. Follow me." Marcellus spoke.
Aelius nodding his head in response.
With that the two boys now left their now shared room and moved through the Jedi Temple.
Aelius and Marcellus making small talk as they continued on their way.
Eventually reaching their destination.
A massive mess hall.
Filled with all different members of the Jedi Order from various species, ages, and ranks.
Getting in one of the food lines both Marcellus and Aelius grabbed a plate.
After which they began looking for a place to sit.
"Hey Marcellus, over here."
Until a female voice called out to them.
Looking in it's direction Marcellus and Aelius saw a young blue-skinned Twi'lek girl their age waving at them. From a table that already has several others seated at it.
"Know her?" Aelius asked.
"Yep, she and the rest sitting at that table are mine, no I guess now our clan mates." Marcellus spoke.
"Then let's not keep them waiting any longer." Aelius said.
He and Marcellus then walked over to the table and took up some seats.
Aelius immediately noticing how most of his table was filled with humans save for the Twi'lek girl and a male Mon Calamari.
"Hello my name is Aayla Secura and you are?" The Twi'lek girl suddenly asked. Right after Aelius sat down.
[Insert Image of Aayla Secura Here]
And he was glad he was not yet eating or drinking anything because if he was he would've certainly spit it out.
Because he knew of Aayla Secura in Star Wars thanks to his second set of memories.
Which also included many images of her from something called the Rule34 perspective.
Though Aelius did his best not to think about that thing when a young version of the girl was seated right in front of him.
Since he's not a pervert after all.
"Nice to meet you Aayla. My name is Aelius." He replied.
"Made a new friend huh Marcellus?" The only other human male at the table spoke up.
His face looking familiar to Aelius.
Though he couldn't quite place.
"Actually Aelius here is my new roommate and our new clan member." Marcellus revealed.
Leading everyone at the table to immediately start paying attention to the conversation.
"What? Out of the blue like this?" One of the females, a young blonde spoke.
"Yeah. Master Plo Koon just assigned him not just a few minutes ago." Marcellus said.
"Interesting." The Mon Calamari male said. His gaze focused on Aelius. "If you could friend, mind telling us why this happened?"
"Well due to certain circumstances I was just inducted into the Jedi Order today and Plo Koon chose to assign me to your clan." Aelius easily explained.
Seeing no reason to hide this from his now fellow clan mates.
Besides, they were definitely going to find out eventually and he didn't want to cause any friction between himself and them since it looks like he would be working with them for the foreseeable future.
"Cool." One of the two black haired females at the table spoke. "Well then nice to meet you Aelius. My name is Serra Keto." The girl revealed.
[Insert Image of Serra Keto Here]
"Bultar Swan. A pleasure." The other dark-haired girl, who looked Asian, even though that ethnicity didn't exist in the Star Wars universe spoke.
[Insert Image of Bultar Swan Here]
"Sia-Lan Wezz. Try to keep up newbie." The blonde spoke.
[Insert image of Sia-Lan Wezz Here]
"Nahdar Vebb. A pleasure to meet you Aelius." The Mon Calamari male spoke.
[Insert Image of Nahdar Vebb Here]
"Kento Marek. Nice to meet you." The last boy spoke.
[Insert Image of Kento Marek Here]
Leading Aelius to realize why he looked familiar.
For he was the future father of one Galen Marek and powerful force user and secret apprentice of Darth Vader, known by the codename Starkiller in the Force Unleashed Games from what his second set of memories told him.
It also told Aelius besides him and Marcellus that every member of his new Jedi clan was featured directly in Star Wars media in his other life.
But more than that it also told Aelius for sure he was in the EU/Legends Star Wars universe predominantly.
Given Sia-Lan and Kento Marek only existed in EU/Legends.
Aelius also began wondering if the Force or universe itself was messing with him.
Given his new situation.
***
As Aelius contemplated his new position in life in another part of the Jedi Temple someone else was contemplating him.
Specifically master Sifo-Dyas.
Who for years, due to his strong gift of foresight, had been seeing a great darkness engulf both the Jedi Order and the entire galaxy.
Yet no one listened to him, save for a few of his trusted friends.
And even then no matter what he did the visions stayed the same.
Until the moment he saw Aelius.
When he did the vision came to him again.
But this time slightly different.
For there was now a small dot of light existing in the coming darkness.
Leading master Sifo-Dyas to have experience something he hadn't for quite some time.
Hope for a better tomorrow.
***
A/N: Yeah so a lot in this chapter.
And I know this is a rewrite but it's not a complete turnover.
Some things willl stay the same. Like Aelius original clan and allies.
Which he will need for the future.
Along with Sifo-Dyas interest in him. Given Aelius influence on his vision of the darkness.
Another major part I'm keeping from the original story.
But as for everything else, continue reading to find out.
