There was a mission that Anakin was interested in because it involved a Force-sensitive he wanted to persuade in joining him.
Lorana wasn't the only person he wanted to experiment with when it came to testing their respective loyalties. Neither was Rynalla who had been working for his Vader persona.
Anakin was later sent on a mission to find out what had happened to the Consular-class cruiser, the Radiant IX, which was carrying the Jedi Et Rex and Alysun Celz back to Coruscant to be punished for falling to the dark side.
He discovered that, while on their flight, a large group of mynocks had fed on energy from the ships electrical couplings, causing the ship to plummet into the gravity well in the Hoth system, and crash landed on an asteroid known as the Poison Moon.
The distress signal was sent even as Celz killed everyone on the ship. Rex managed to escape Celz and befriend a group of mynocks.
When Anakin had found Celz on the bridge of the ship, she insisted that it was Rex who did it. Anakin sent out some droids to go and find Rex, leaving himself with Celz.
When his droids found Rex, Rex had the droids send a message back to him about Celz and that she was framing him. Anakin knew of this already and had waited for Celz's temptation.
In the meantime, Celz tried to convince him to leave the Order, but instead of accepting he managed to convince her to join him. Celz having accepted rather easily was set to Tatooine just as he had done so with Lorana further increasing the amount of Force-sensitive people within his in progress organization.
He went back to Coruscant with Rex but kept it a secret that she had joined under him, why would he alert people of this woman anyway?
This would take up the number of Force-sensitives within his new organization to a total amount of three. One Sith based, Rynalla, one Jedi based, Lorana and one Dark Jedi based, Alysun Celz.

There was one special mission that Anakin wanted to be apart of in the year of 25 BBY, otherwise known within the Great ReSynchronization calendar as the tenth year where Anakin is 16 or turning 16.
This mission involved the life and death of one of the Jedi Masters on the High Council, Yaddle.
Later, that same year, Anakin along with Yoda and Yaddle were sent on a negotiation mission to Mawan to settle a devastating gang war, in which three criminal organizations fought one another. These gangs, led by Decca the Hutt, Feeana Tala, and the mysterious Striker, caused the remainder of the population to take refuge underground.
During the mission, Skywalker was nearly kidnapped but had went undercover and followed Striker's men.
Anakin revealed himself to put an end to this menace and sadly for Granta none of this was going to work because he had nothing he wanted. Striker, revealed to be Granta Omega, tried tempting him to leave the Jedi Order and come with him, offering many things.
When Granta saw that Anakin would not yield, he tried to get him confined and arrange a meeting with himself and Yaddle. Unbeknownst to her and the rest of the Jedi, the chaotic planet was a trap set for the Jedi by Omega.
He released a fatal chemical weapon that killed Yaddle when she absorbed it through the Force, well she had nearly done so herself but Anakin making use of his new implants and the Force absorbed it instead of her.
This lead to him of course being poisoned but it didn't kill him because of his enhanced capabilities.
Anakin had inadvertently saved the capital city of Naatan. The weapon was intended by its vengeful maker to kill Anakin, but it failed because it wouldn't have done anything to him. Anakin immediately after contacted Master Yoda to help bring Yaddle away, where afterwards Anakin managed to bring peace to Mawan.
'More work done by space Jesus.' Anakin thought to himself.
Saving Yaddle was a priority because there were not alot of whatever species she was apart of that existed within the galaxy apart from Yoda, Yaddle and Grogu, whom he had the pleasure of meeting.
In fact from what Anakin could remember and had researched within the galaxy the only known of this weirdly powerful species he knew of was only Yoda, Yaddle and Grogu.
The species, its origins shrouded in mystery, was rarely seen, with only a few members known to the wider galaxy. All known members of the species active in the galaxy were Force users and affiliated with the Jedi.
At least that was from the canon timeline and from the legends timeline there were a few others but that was extremely limited in information as well.
While there were three that was canon present he had only heard about others from history, Vandar Tokare, Oteg and Minch where they were all from eras long past. Meaning that there was technically only three living members of this enigmatic and very confusing species.

Anakin had transformed and those who were close to him obviously became extremely interested in what had happened to him. Even more hilarious was the fact that he was so tall that the girls were only below his waist in height, referring specifically to Ahsoka and Barriss.
But for Aayla and Shaak, these two were actually tall enough to be above his waist and actually at least reach his lower chest.
If he got any taller he would become afraid of squishing these girls going off of by how tall he is, but he shouldn't really worry about this since he has full control over his strength and they can increase their own endurance through the Force.
While he was 2.1 meters in comparison to how tall he is, Aayla's 1.72 meters and Shaak's 1.78 meters of height was about an average range for both of their species.
While for himself, he could be considered a monstrous genetically gifted individual among his species of Humans. Not that his was all that natural per say but that doesn't really matter now does it.
He would dislike getting any taller as well, as while height was not all important it would cause an imbalance with his relationship with any of the girls.
Anakin remembered the time that the girls had asked him about the change as even though he carried the same features he always had, the difference was still noticeable. His hair becoming a curly and dark shade of blonde hair while his eyes going from its bright blue to a bright violet color is certainly different enough to warrant a reaction.
"Ani, can you tell me just how your hair color and eye color have changed so much." Aayla asked Anakin as Ahsoka and Barriss were just as interested in this fact.
Anakin had already been confronted about this by many others as well so he faked a test to absolve peoples worries and confirm that he was alright in every sense of the word.
"You have seen the test results haven't you?" Anakin asked himself.
"We have but I believe there is more to your change than simply a dormant genetic variable." Barriss added from her own expertise.
Barriss herself was getting better and better under Anakin's tutelage was able to increase her own expertise, knowledge of science and medicine to better accommodate and facilitate her interests.
"You want the truth do you?" Anakin asked.
The three girls within the room nodded. Ahsoka included because she had grown up and was starting to understand the world more and more herself.
Anakin had helped them all in regards to the development and protection of their minds and he knows he could trust them, especially since a Force-bond had been developing as well. Which is a result of their time together and the closeness they share with each other.
Obviously, for now his bond with Aayla is a bit more special but that doesn't mean the other two should be excluded.
While Aayla had been in the know, Ahsoka and Barriss didn't know why he was different from the average Human, excluding his status as the 'Chosen One' of course. "Well... I believe it is better if I just transfer some information over to the two of you."
"What informat-" Barriss was about to ask but Anakin just formed a telepathic link with her and Ahsoka letting them instantly know about what he had been doing.
Anakin had seen that Ahsoka developed enough maturity to also be able to handle such information and allowed the transfer of such for her. While Barriss has become and been his first student, his first apprentice.
She also was mature enough and he trusted her enough to reveal this to her.
He was slowly and surely revealing to the three about what he has been doing, of course he doesn't tell them everything as he is a greedy person himself. He knows the value of information and as such keeps alot to himself but that doesn't mean he can just keep to himself the entirety of however long he is to live.
That would burden anyone.
But he understands that secrets are only powerful because they are secret.
"What is this?" Ahsoka asks because she doesn't have the mind for stuff like this. She may be strong within the Force but her talents do not lie within this area or field.
"It is something that I had inadvertently discovered and have been for a few years now been using for myself to increase my physical capabilities overall." Anakin answered her question.
Barriss says something next. "From what this tells me it is extremely painful." Her voice quivered q bit when going over the information she was given. "How could you do this to yourself?"
"I will not question what everyone here does for themselves because it is not my right to tell you what to do, all I ask of you all is your support." Anakin replies.
Aayla hadn't said anything but had quickly embraced him and considering his size she couldn't actually fully wrap her arms around him.
Ahsoka was quick to follow after Aayla actions because she also had nothing more to say but to assure Anakin that she was with him through physical affection. Barriss was the last one to do so as she was not used to things like this even with alot of time spent with him.
"I am glad the three of you, even though you may not like my actions, you respect that it is of my choice." Anakin stated as he also embraced them one by one.
After a while they had all discussed things with Anakin, and while Ahsoka for now would be left out of going to his secret spot to conduct his transformations, Aayla and Barriss had made it adamant that they would remain by his side.
Anakin believed it wouldn't be appropriate for Ahsoka to see that type of stuff, at least not at her current age just yet.
Strangely enough Anakin was starting to feel a special sensation through his Force bond with Barriss and it emitting a similar vibe like the one he has with Aayla. He had been trying to see if he could sever the connection between himself and Aayla, not because he wanted to in particular.
But because he wanted to increase his control and to see whether or not he could do so, but there had not been any luck but he was starting to notice a unique feeling when it came to it. Such a feeling was starting to be emitted from Barriss.
This told him that it may be time for another connection to form with another girl that he is close with and would most probably elevate their relationship with each other.
Another thing to factor is that it had also happened with another, which is why he was so clear in knowing that it was going to happen with Barriss as well.
He had created another Force Dyad with Shaak Ti, something that Aayla and Shaak Ti were able to notice from each other was their bond to him allowed them to know who else he is bonded with. This increased Aayla's insecurities for a while before Anakin had assured her of her place within his heart.
While Shaak was of no help really and while he had come to accept that she would share a special relationship with himself and Aayla had accepted this as well, it didn't mean Shaak was ready for the secrets he kept.
Why? Because she has been so deeply indoctrinated by the Jedi it would be hard to change her mind. Given their newfound connection however it would make it easier to do so.
When it came to the relationship between Aayla and Shaak Ti, is that she had come to know of the bond but didn't talk about it much. She did however take some sadistic pleasure in messing with Aayla by saying quite some scandalous things.
Even though she had accepted it, it also didn't mean she was going to delve into it even when the Force would tell her to do so.
Shaak had been keeping her distance from Anakin as much as possible for fear of becoming attached. Something that all Jedi for some reason resented.
Especially more so for Shaak who is quite the isolating person, not that it was really by her choice given that was just the way her entire demeanor and look scared off those of whom would have befriended her.
Not that Anakin cared all that much for this, but it did matter to her and because of this she would try to keep her distance but still be strangely drawn to him. If she resisted well enough it was Anakin whom was drawn to her because that was just the way the bond worked.
The more she fought it the harder it became.
It can be related to how the Force works, while the light side is an ocean where you flow with the tide while the dark side is you becoming a whirlpool that tries to create their own flow against the currents.
That's why it was so corrupting and that is why Shaak Ti became more and more deeply infatuated with him, simply because she resisted.
It goes to show that Anakin could see that he somehow had compatibilities with many woman, something he thought was impossible for what a Dyad is. He also knows that it would only work on other Force-sensitive individuals as well.
Strangely enough he had an idea that maybe, just maybe it may work on Padme.
That was only if he created a way to have her access the Force and he was not to that point yet, but he had alot of theories on how this may be done.
For those confused, I am trying to time skip everything along so that we dont have to go through the entirety of Anakin growing up.
