Family
By:Andre Rivera
Obi-Wan walked the dark pathway. He was now one with the Force. His death two days ago was at the hands of a Sith Lord whose name was unknown. Being one with the Force was lonely. Obi-Wan was surrounded by thick fogs that prevented him from seeing anything ahead of him.
Even in death Obi-Wan still had the ability to use the Force. He felt a presence in the distance. A very strong presence in the Force. This presence was a presence Obi-Wan had not felt in a very long time. It was the presence of Qui-Gon Jinn.
Walking towards the direction his senses were telling him to go he was suddenly filled with joy at the thought of seeing his former master again. Along side the joy there was nervousness. What would he say to Qui- Gon? Had Qui-Gon forgotten about him? Did Qui-Gon still care about him? These questions would be answered later because now he had to get to him before he was gone.
A dark figure stood beyond the fog. It's features could not be seen , but Obi-Wan could recognize his master even if he was as blind as a bat. He ran. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him. He ran as fast as the Force would let him. He was afraid that the figure would suddenly disappear.
Blue eyes stared into his tear filled ones. Qui-gon Jinn stood before him , smiling. For a while the two stood there in silence. Qui-Gon was the one to break the silence. "My Obi-Wan . It's been far too long. I've missed you so."
"M-Master.." Obi-Wan could barely speak but managed to say something. He was too old to cry , he told himself. The tears were too strong to hold back. His tears flowed down his cheeks and Qui-Gon wiped away a few then took him in held him an embrace. Qui-Gon was overwhelmed with such happiness that he too began to cry.
"So Master this is what being one with the Force feels like." Obi- Wan declared."It's quite boring."
"Don't worry about it Obi-Wan. You'll eventually get used to it." Qui-Gon said. "You meet a few people from the past quite often here and it's avery comforting feeling to know that they are here with you."
"Oh" he sighed.
"Obi-Wan I know what you're thinking." Qui-Gon looked at Obi-Wan. "You have not failed me at all. What Anakin did had nothing to do with your actions. It was his choice alone. And besides I know he's realized his mistake and as we speak he is trying to right all the wrongs he has done."
"I hope you're right Master"
Three Days Ago (Inside Chancellor Palpatine's Chambers)
Obi-Wan stood shocked at his former Padawan's announcement. Had Anakin really become the apprentice of the Dark Lord of the Sith? No this couldn't be happening! This was a nightmare and he had to wake up from it. No! This was all too real. His beloved Anakin had really become A Sith Lord.
"Does that surprise you at all my old Master?" Anakin asked. "The Jedi shall pay for the lives they have destroyed! Children are not meant to be robbed of their lives and taken to be trained because they posses great powers! They should go on their own free will! Your kind robbed me of my life with my mother and Padme! Now I shall never see them again and for that the Jedi will pay!"
"No Anakin...It's not like that. You've got it all wrong." Obi- Wan tried to lecture but he could feel Anakin ignoring him. Out of nowhere a hooded figure appeared before them. It did not take a a person who was Force sensitive to sense all the evil radiating from the figure.
"Aahh Jedi Kenobi." The hooded figure began to speak." You will be the first of many Kenobi. Consider yourself special."
The voice sounded too familiar to Obi-Wan. It was as if he had known the person underneath the hood. He watched the man remove his hood and was shocked to see the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. "No!' he yelled in disbelief. Had the Republic been under control of the Sith? No this was impossible. The Jedi would have sensed it. No. he told himself. They couldn't have. The ability to see the future had taken away from the Jedi.
"Surprised my Jedi friend?" Palpatine laughed an evil laugh. "Prepare to be the first of the Jedi to die! The Jedi Purge has begun!" Another laugh escaped from the Chancellor as he raised his hand and pointed it towards the Jedi.
Anakin stood there watching. Oh no! He thought. His master was going to kill Obi-Wan! This wasn't how he wanted things. He was powerless to do anything as lightning emitted from Palpatine's hands and hit Obi-Wan. As he watched his former Master die at the hands of Palpatine he was filled with great anger and sadness. He wanted to help Obi-Wan , but what could he do? Anakin was certainly no match for his Master and to challenge him would only mean his own death. He turned away not wanting to witness the horrible event that took place in front of him. He would avenge his former Master's death , but first he had to think of a plan.
After about 10 minutes Palpatine stopped his attack on the Jedi. " No one can live through that. " he announced. " Not even you Jedi! " He turned and left the room leaving only Anakin to watch the dying man across the room.
After making sure his master had left the room Anakin rushed over to Obi-Wan's side. He took the limp body into his arms and began to cry . "No! It wasn't meant to be this way! I swear Obi-Wan I will avenge your death! I cannot let Palpatine get away with what he has done. He will surely pay! I am no longer of the Dark Side but Palpatine will not know of it until it is too late!"
Obi-Wan had long been dead before Anakin had had the chance to rush over to him. He had not heard heard Anakin's promise. After a momnet of grieving Anakin took Obi-Wan's body and lit it up. Obi-Wan would finally become one with the Force alongside so many others that he cared about.
Qui-Gon had known of Anakin's promise to Obi-Wan but he felt that it would be better if Obi-Wan find out later. Maybe even find out on his own.
Obi-Wan sat beside Qui-Gon as they watched Anakin through a pool of water. Even though his master told him he hadn't failed he still felt like he was a failure. He couldn't stop Anakin from turning to the Dark Side. But as he watched Anakin through the pool of water he noticed something different about him. He had that look in his eyes. A look he could always recognize. That look was the look Anakin Skywalker had when he was planning something big. But what? He asked himself.
Obi-Wan felt a presence in the nearby. Another familiar presence. Who could it be this time? He turned around and was glad to see another familiar face. It was Padme Amidala.
Obi-Wan stood up as did Qui-Gon. "Padme..." Obi-Wan uttered in disbelief. "Is it really you? I'm so glad to see you again. I-." before he could finish Padme grabbed Obi-Wan and hugged him tightly.
"Obi-Wan." she spoke. "It's very comforting to know that you are here. Every familiar face I see brings me great hapiness." She finally pulled out of the hug and Qui-Gon motioned for the two to sit down.
The three watched Anakin stand beside Palpatine and take orders.
" My apprentice." Palpatine started. " You will accompany me in bringing down every Jedi left alive. There is no room in this universe for their kind. Follow me i sense a Jedi nearby."
There is no room in this world in the universe for your kind , Anakin mentally said to himself. He followed his Master out the room. He felt a presence in the Force nearby. There was no doubt it was a Jedi. Finally Anakin's plan to avenge his Obi-Wan's death would soon come into place.
It was not long before Palpatine saw a cloaked figure in the crowds. Her presence in the Force made it obvious that she was a Jedi and that she was undercover. They followed her into an abandoned building.
The Jedi knew she was being followed and headed for an empty building in order to avoid any attention. Her hands clasping her lightsaber hilt she slowly removed her cloak then turned around to see who it was that was following her. A hooded figure stood ahead of her and beside him stood a Jedi. No a former Jedi. It was Anakin Skywalker. He was banished from the Order for marrying the former Senator of Naboo.
Anakin recognized the Jedi that stood across the room. It was Bultar Swan. He had fought alongside her during the Clone Wars. She was a powerful Jedi probably even as good as Obi-Wan Kenobi. His plan would work out perfectly.
