*His Destiny: Chapter 1
In the still of the night, when others were asleep, a single light could be found at the Jedi Temple. The hum of a light saber, and laser blasts can be heard right outside the door of the training room. A lone figure can be seen jumping over, kicking, and destroying training probes.
He's been at it for hours; no one has the nerve to stop him. Jumping high in the air and coming down, hard, green blade slicing through the last probe, a bare chested, exausted Obi Wan Kenobi falls to the floor. Sweat drips off his body onto the cold metal floor, he begins to tremble, and unsure if it's due to the exaustion, or the memory he is trying to forget.
'Enough of this.' He thinks to himself, but he can't push the vision of his padawan's face out of his mind. The anger, the hate, the pain...the terrible battle. 'How could I kill him? My own apprentice? My best friend...what kind of a master would kill his padawan?' Rising to his knees, he tried to quiet his mind, to be one with the force, but emotion took over and tears roll down his cheeks as he collapes back to the floor. "I can't do this...not any more." He says as he throws his light saber across the floor. Behind him a warm blue glow fills the room. "I told you." Obi Wan cried into the light. "I told you the boy was dangerous." Obi Wan scolded the light as he struggled to his feet. "You said he would bring balance, all he brought was pain!"
Obi Wan stumbled to a bench when a figure emerged within the light. The figure is of a tall, large man with long hair and a beard, dressed in Jedi attire. "Anakin's future is still uncertain, balance he still will bring." The ghost of Jedi master Qui Gon Jinn answered in a soft tone.
"You were wrong...wrong about Anakin, wrong about me." Obi Wan said, not looking at his former master.
"How was I wrong about you padawan?"
"You said I would be a great Jedi Knight." Obi Wan told his master sternly, while getting up to his feet. "How can I be a great Jedi when as an apprentice I lost my master, and as a master I lost my apprentice?"
Quietly Qui Gon sat on the bench. "It hurts me to see you in pain Obi Wan, you were like a son to me...but leaving the Jedi is not the answer."
"I have brought shame to the order, even if I were to stay, I could never train another padawan." Obi Wan said with his back to Qui Gon.
"You sound like me, after my first apprentice turned to the dark side." Qui Gon said, as Obi Wan turned to him. "I was determined to never train another one, but master Yoda told me the apprentice I train will go down in history as a great Jedi master, and until I met you, I didn't believe him." Tears came to Obi Wan's eyes. "You have your destiny Obi Wan, fulfill it."
"I can't. All I feel is anger hate."
"Control your emotions Obi Wan."
"I'm tired of controlling them, what good does it do?" Obi Wan asked his former master.
"Obi Wan, anger leads to the dark..."
"All I want to do is go to a virtually deserted planet, and disappear." Obi Wan continued, cutting him off.
"Obi Wan."
"My brother Owen is envious of my life, always has been. The truth is I would trade him lives in a heart beat."
Qui Gon looked at his former pupil, he remembered the young boy he used to train; so full of life, so ready to help people. Not many Jedi have had to deal with the pain he has endured, very few could survive such pain. "We need you padawan."
"I can't do it. Every corner of this temple reminds me of Anakin. The others are afraid of me, because everyone I've ever loved has been lost."
"Everyone? What about Amidala?" Qui Gon asked.
Obi Wan shook his head. "No, Amidala chose Anakin."
"But you promised you'd protect her." Qui Gon answered, looking into Obi Wan's eyes.
"Why would she need me? She has a whole damn army to protect her."
"Ours is not to question, ours it to..." Qui Gon started.
"Leave me alone." Obi Wan cut him off.
"Obi Wan."
"Go away, leave me alone!" Obi Wan shouted, and kicked a shelf holding training light sabers.
"Obi Wan, you have your destiny, fulfill it."
"I said LEAVE ME ALONE!" Obi Wan yelled as he turned around he found that Qui Gon had left, and Amidala was standing at the door. He also noticed it was morning.
"Ben?" She asked frightened. She was the only one allowed to call him that.
"Why are you here?" He asked, panting.
"I need your help." She answered, stepping into the room.
"Why me? You have Bail Organa and his army to help you now." Obi Wan said snidely.
"You promised." Obi Wan noticed Amidala holding a light saber. "Please Ben, I'm so scared."
Obi Wan grabbed the light saber; on closer inspection he noticed it was Anakin's. "Where did you get this?"
"I found it when I woke up this morning. It was on Anakin's empty pillow." She looked at Obi Wan. "There's more."
"What?" Obi Wan asked, inspecting the sword.
"I'm...I'm with child." She answered softly, and Obi Wan dropped the saber.
"What?"
"I'm with child." She repeated.
"Anakin's?" He asked, she nodded. Obi Wan looked to where Qui Gon had been standing. "So, Anakin has brought balance."
"So, will you help me?" She brought him back to reality.
"I will forever protect you child, even after I die." He gave her hand a kiss, she hugged him. "I give you my word as a Jedi."
"Give me your word as a friend instead." She said, looking into his eyes.
"Then I give you my word as a friend." He kissed the top of her head.
"Thank you Ben."
