Summary: Yoda tries to find a way to make sure that Qui-Gon takes an apprentice but when he realizes that the wounds Xanatos made were too deep for Qui-Gon to overcome he makes a decision that will change the Jedi and the Galaxy forever; he makes Obi-Wan Kenobi his last and final padawan, how will this change the future of the Galaxy.

Chapter One: Master and Apprentice

On the planet of Coruscant, the very center of the Galactic Republic, stand the Jedi temple. The temple is the home of the Jedi Order; an order that has dedicated itself to the protection of not only the Republic but the Galaxy. For generations the members of this noble order have used the power of the force to preserve peace.

The Jedi council has exist until this very day; ever vigilante of the Galaxy. However, today the wise minds and fierce warriors that compose the Council have reached a very important crossroads. It is an important time for the Jedi; today the masters and experienced Knights will decide which younglings would be accepted fully into the order as padawan's. Many masters have already shown interest in training an apprentice while some haven't shown the slightest interested in finding a padawan learner.

Within the highest tower of the temple the Jedi council is already in session; Master Yoda is calmly looking at all the masters present and he is concerned with only one: Qui-Gon Jinn. Qui-Gon is an amazing Jedi but very a maverick amongst the Jedi of the order: his willingness to defy the council at every turn is a clear sign of just how much of a maverick the man is. Despite his strange behavior Qui-Gon is an excellent Jedi; however, the force has bestowed him a harsh past. Qui-Gon had successfully trained one padawan that was knighted but the boy sadly died on his second mission and then there was Xanatos his second apprentice that fell to the dark side and is still on the loose.

Many felt great sorrow for losing two bright student but Qui-Gon is devastated: he has sworn to never take on another apprentice.

So far all is going well; almost all of this year's younglings will be accepted into the order except for one, Obi-wan Kenobi. The boy is strong in the force and he has learned at an astonishing rate no one can deny that is power; however his anger and coldness weaken him, such emotions make many masters weary of the boy.

"There's only one initiate remaining" said Master Windu drawing the council's attention, "Obi-wan Kenobi".

"It is sad to say but none of us here think it's a good idea to take the boy into the order" said Jedi master Ki-Adi-Mundi.

"I'm inclined to agree" said Master Windu.

"Uhm, what have you to say master Jinn?" asked Yoda studying the Jedi.

"I fear that because of my recent encounters with the fallen Jedi Xanatos I'm in no condition to take a new apprentice" said Qui-Gon calmly.

"Then I fear the boy must be let go" said master Plo Koon.

"Wrong" said Yoda calmly, "My apprentice will be young Kenobi".

That last statement left the rest of the council truly surprised; Master Yoda has had many apprentices, but it has been many, many years since he took on apprentice and to take on one such Kenobi is surprising.

"Are you sure about this Master, the boy … is unruly" said Ki-Adi-Mundi.

"Sense a great potential in him".

Yoda's last statement had a sense of finality to it; it would seem that his decision was made and no one would make him sway from it. The rest of the session proceeded calmly as the rest of the council continued to discuss other issues that pertained to the future apprentices. As soon as the council meeting had ended; Yoda left, many still surprised by his choice.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is currently watching as the masters come and select his fellow initiates to be their padawan learners. As he watches his mood and temper steadily decline; it hurts to see the others be chosen, it makes him feel sadness and anger. Minutes passed and soon the room is cleared leaving only Obi-Wan; his friends have all gone, they've been chosen and he's been left behind.

'I guess I don't belong here'thought Obi-wan as he left the meditation room. The young boy walked back to his quarters; ready to prepare for his expulsion out of the temple, expulsion from the only home he has ever known.

"Uhm, why think such sad things padawan?"

As Obi-Wan entered his room he was greeted by master Yoda.

"Ah, Master Yoda what are you doing here?" asked Obi-wan.

"Looking for you padawan".

"Really someone wants me as there padawan?"

The excitement in Obi-Wan's voice could be felt all throughout the force. Being accepted is an amazing feeling; after all it is a basic need that all beings need in order to survive.

"Yes you are my padawan, now come padawan much to do".

As Yoda began to leave Obi-Wan's room he motioned for Obi-wan to follow. Yoda was on his way towards the gardens of the temple and he couldn't help but be amused at the joy that Obi-wan is felling right now.

"Master Yoda, who is my master? Is he Qui-Gon? Is it someone I don't know?"

To say the least Obi-Wan's questions are very amusing, the young boy has yet to realize that Yoda is his master. The two enter the gardens; a beautiful room adorned by planets from across the galaxy and magnificent fountains.

"So foolish padawan, I be your master" said Yoda with a chuckle.

Obi-wan stopped in his tracks; his body went rigid and he stared and Yoda, he wasn't expecting this. The Grand Master of the Jedi Order has chosen him to be padawan. Either the force really like him or this was a magnificent dream.

"This is where you will learn from me" said Master Yoda as he sat down in front of Obi-wan.

"What will you teach me?"

"Uhm, what every Jedi must know: the Force".
