Reincarnated As Tony Stark With A Skill

AN: So... the Clone Wars has begun in my country.

There is this Terror law in my country which can tag anyone as a terrorist based on social media posts. After a few days of rally, clone/fake FB accounts started popping up.

If you would, please try to read the Auxillary Volume chapter. It's not related to the story but it might help me in my situation. It's fine if you don't because you're tired of the protest and stuff but I would appreciate it if you do.

_____

Tony was introduced to the younglings. After some introduction, Tony and Windu went outside for some last-minute conversation.

While they were away, the younglings gossiped about Tony.

____

"Hey isn't that?"

"Yeah."

The other younglings talked with a sad expression. The orange-skinned Togrutan (horns + head tails), Ahsoka Tano, was curious about her clanmates' expressions.

Ahsoka: "What's wrong? You seem disappointed. Isn't he Master Windu's padawan? Why aren't you more excited?"

"Haven't you seen him before?"

Ahsoka: "I did. But I don't understand why you were all disappointed."

"She's spending all her time practicing. She probably hasn't met him anywhere else aside from the arena."

"Oh right. Okay, Ahsoka. Here's the thing. As far as we could tell, he's weak. As far as we could tell, he hasn't been sent on a mission. He's always here in the temple."

"Plus, we also found out something after we combined all sightings of him. He doesn't practice."

"Yeah. I met him a couple of times but he's usually playing around or with a woman. I haven't even seen him in the meditation chambers."

"Remember that time when I was told by Master Yoda to go the medical corp. I've seen him flirting with Master Aayla Secura. He's was massaging her Lekkus(head-tail) with the excuse that he was trying to heal her."

"Really? Master Secura? What happened to Padawan Tohno? I thought they were each other's 'companions'. There is this one time where I found them in the Archives. They appear to be discussing engineering, but they practically hugging each other."

(AN: Tohno != Tano)

Ahsoka: "Master Secura let him touch her Lekkus?"

Ahsoka also had Lekkus. She knew how sėnsɨtɨvė they can be. She knew that Togrutans and Twi'leks wouldn't just let anyone touch these things. Ideas started popping up in her brain, but she was able to quickly go back to the subject.

Ahsoka: "It still doesn't make sense though. It's different from what the older Padawans said. They said that he's great with the lightsaber."

"That's probably just rumors. I haven't even seen him in the arena."

Ahsoka: "Of course you wouldn't. You rarest spend time in the arena. You probably don't even know that they clear the area whenever he and Master Windu have to practice."

"Really? Have you watched them fight?"

Ahsoka: "No. I've tried to sneak a peak but the Temple Guards stopped me. They said that only the Masters and Knights are allowed to watch. Younglings weren't allowed to watch."

"That's the point. The last batch said that he has special treatment. He's not even supposed to be trained because he was too old but they allow him anyway. You're probably stronger than him Ahsoka"

Ahsoka's clanmates agreed with this statement. As far as they could tell, she was sure to become a padawan. They were too far away in terms of skill that they could only praise her.

After a bit of praise, someone suggested she challenge him. The praises got to from before, got to her head. She didn't think clearly. She went to challenge Tony the moment he returned.

______

Seeing the orange Togrutan challenge him, Tony was reminded of another orange themed character with face markings who is also reckless.

Tony: "You must be Ahsoka Tano. "

He checked the mood of the room to find out what was happening. He noticed that the younglings weren't as respectful as he hoped they'd be. He couldn't blame them though as he and Anakin also encountered something similar when they were younglings. The kids usually less disciplined when there is no Jedi Master in front of them.

Hearing the challenge, he knew that the Younglings would listen half-heartedly if refused. He knew from experience that they would only listen to him if he did something impressive.

Instead of accepting Ahsoka's challenge, he decided to fight everyone instead.

Tony: "I know some of you feel that me teaching you would be a waste of time. Honestly, I feel the same. I'd rather go back to my experiments. So, here's the deal. If you manage to make these bells ring. You win. I'll give up and ask for a replacement. If any of you manages to get a bell, I'll have Master Windu teach that person for a few days. Any questions?"

Tony started distributing the training lightsabers to every youngling. He was just about to start the test when Ahsoka raised her hand to ask a question.

Ahsoka: "Aren't you going to draw your lightsaber?"

Tony: "No. It's more dramatic this way. You'll notice how bad your mastery over the lightsaber is if you lose to someone who hasn't even drawn his lightsaber."

Tony stepped back and started the test. The Togrutan attacked first without even thinking.

_____

The fight ended without Tony needing to use his lightsaber. He wasn't able to read an H-book though as Ahsoka's was far better that he expected.

She was able to mix her moves when all her other clanmates were still moving by the book. She was also strong with the Force, though not as strong as Anakin,

While she was a promising youngling, she still has a problem. She was too reckless.

It might be because she was far better than her clanmates, but she doesn't know how to play well with others. She focused on attacking and forgot about her clanmates.

She didn't notice it when everyone else was knocked out. She kept charging in recklessly, leaving her to fight Tony alone.

_____

After the test ended, Tony gave everyone data drives that had all of their weaknesses recorded. JARVIS prepared hologram copies of the fight for everyone in which the problematic points are highlighted.

After giving the data, he left them to work on the problem on their own. He wanted them to come up with solutions by themselves. He reminded them to hurry up though as he was going to be testing them again tomorrow.

He could have helped the younglings but he stopped himself from doing so. They may have some noticeable improvement with his help, but it wasn't what they needed at the moment. What they needed was to stop relying on Jedi Knights as much and to learn how to improve by themselves.

Tony felt that the clone wars was about to start. A lot of Jedi Knights would die in the war, leaving this generation of younglings masterless. They wouldn't be able to survive if they couldn't get used to this high-paced life.

_____

After the first class was finished, Tony also did the bell test to the next clan of younglings. He tried to find another Ahsoka, but he didn't notice any.

There wasn't anyone particularly noteworthy, except possibly Barriss Offee. He only took note of her because he noticed Master Luminara observing whenever she was free.

He learned some tricks to healing techniques from Master Luminara so he decided to return the favor. He helped Barriss on her training until she had a higher chance to survive the upcoming war.

____

He continued the same routine for the next few weeks. He only started teaching lightsaber forms to the younglings after they mastered the basic defenses. He wanted them to last as long as possible in case they ever fight Grievous.

With that idea in mind, he would also have JARVIS replace him sometimes. He built another body especially for training, where the AI would do Grievous' spinning lightsaber trick. He hoped that the younglings wouldn't fall for that trick.

Tony did this until his clones arrived. Once he got the Star-Forge and Haro, he started putting more focus on them.

____

Tony clones took a long time to get to Coruscant because they were held up by matters concerning the Star Forge.

Everything started when he went to a deserted planet to repair the Star Forge.

It didn't cause any ruckus when it started, but Tony remained skeptical when dealing with it. He had to interface to control it but hesitated as he felt something bad about it.

When he connected the nanites to the Star Forge, he immediately felt its sentience. It may have been dormant for a long time but it definitely wasn't dead.

Tony tried to place his TAILs on it but it wasn't cooperating. He would have been lenient if it just rejected the laws outright but it didn't. Instead, it tried to mislead Tony. It looked as if the laws are its top priority but Tony knew better thanks to his experience with Haro.

Knowing that the Star Forge already learned the concept of deception, Tony didn't give it another chance. He still needed the Star Forge so he decided to eradicate the Star Forge's sentience.

Even if Star Forge wouldn't be in its peak performance, he would do it and avoid the risk of it getting out of control. It might get destroyed but the worst-case scenario is that he would have to wait for Haro to grow.

He thought about having JARVIS fight it for control but stopped himself from doing so. JARVIS was still an infant when compared to this thing. He didn't want to risk anything happening to JARVIS.

He thought about all kinds of ways to kill it when the circuit -like glow of the Star Forge reminded him of something. A crazy idea started forming in his head. One that involved him transforming his other body into a lifeform that is not part of the Disney multi-verse.

______

Even though he had his All-black body for a long time now, he only used it for trivial stuff and hasn't taken full advantage of it. He placed his focus on creating new tech as it was much more interesting compared to controlling other bodies.

The Star Forge gave him a unique opportunity to try and do both. It was described as alive by the Ancient Sith, so he thought about controlling it. He wanted to see if he could create something similar to close to a Symbiote and liquid metal hybrid and turn it into something like Ben 10's Upgrade.

(AN: Similar to Endo-Sym Armor except it is not liquid smart-metal. Ben 10 probably more popular so I decided to use it. Also, It might also be closer as this is a life-form and not just an armor.)

He split All-Black and had part of it control the Star-Forge. He planned to take over it first and try to ȧssimilate it later.

He was easily able to wipe out the sentience thanks to the All-Black and the other clone's coordination. Some malice was still surrounding the thing, but was weak and couldn't influence Tony's shared consciousness.

What took time most of their time is All-Black trying to control the Star Forge. He had to discover each step as Symbiotes and solid metal are two things that have rarely been able to mix.

He was able to solve this by making use of some liquid metal. He didn't try to ȧssimilate it all as he still needed to learn its secrets. He was able to create things by connecting the Star Forge to an energy source and using raw materials. He wasn't able to create items using just a sun as he hasn't figured out how it 'feeds'.

_______

When they got to Coruscant, the Star Forge felt some kind of darkness surrounding it. It was about to flow into the Star Forge but Tony stopped it.

Tony didn't know what it was. He just felt that part of it was resentment directed at the Jedi. He decided to do things slowly, and just absorb pieces of it.

He felt some kind of energy from it but he also felt something corrupting coming from it. He did things a lot more carefully as even his clones far away felt that corruption from that energy.

He isolated the energy and tried to find a way to process it first. He didn't try to absorb more than he could as he didn't like how the energy was able to affect his clones.

_____

A few months later, the galaxy started calming down. The Jedi's slowly returned to their past lives and the instructors returned to their jobs.

Tony's job as a teacher finally ended. Most of the Younglings rejoiced as they always failed Tony's tests. They were discouraged by constant failure. They also felt humiliated because they never even witnessed Tony draw his lightsaber. He has only used it against a few people as the rest were easily defeated by JARVIS.

Still, some of the younglings were saddened by Tony's leaving. They appreciated his special teachings as they noticed that they were improving because of it.

After Tony finished his job, Windu got to him and they started going to missions.

Windu knew that the peace wouldn't last long so he made sure Tony was ready. They went to increasingly dangerous missions that involved a lot of aggressive negotiations.

In between one of their missions, Obi-Wan went to ask Tony for help. He wanted Tony to teach Anakin how to customize his lightsaber.

Anakin was always losing his lightsaber and Obi-Wan was getting worried and fed up with it. Obi-Wan thought of Tony's customizations and wanted to have Anakin's lightsaber follow its owner.

Tony has surplus nanites so he gave Anakin some of it.

______

A few years passed.

Tony returned to Coruscant after doing another one of his missions on his own. He finished reporting to the Council when they ȧssigned him another duty.

Tony: "Someone tried to ȧssassinate Padme again?"
