Chapter 2 First Reunions
Obi-Wan wasn't sure exactly how he would be able to contact the other returned Jedi.
If the force was really as weak as it seemed, doing so might prove very difficult.
Anakin was able to still use it, but then he'd always been extreemely strong in the force.
Not even, Luke was quite as strong as his father.
There was also the issue on how he would be able to find Luke.
His gut instinct told him that they had been brought back for a reason,
and Luke probably had some idea as to what that was.
He hoped the meeting would go well, between father and son.
He had seen them unite at the end and Luke always listened to his father when they were in the force,
but Obi-Wan knew it would be hard for Anakin to face his children... alive.
When Obi-Wan got the capital of Tatooine, he ran into a very surprising visitor...
Anakin followed behind Dooku quietly.
He had expected the sith to recognize his signature and attack, but Dooku seemed lost in his own world.
He waited for Dooku to turn around, or give some sort of signal of what he was up to,
but Dooku did no such thing. If anything, he seemed incredibly mournful.
Finally Anakin couldn't take it anymore and stepped from the shaddows.
"You must know I am here."
Dooku turned slowly. "I do now."
Anakin didn't buy into the insenuation. "What are you waiting for? You want me to put down my weapon for you?"
Dooku shrugged. "That'd be nice."
Anakin didn't answer. This was getting no where.
The two men stared at each other. They stood stock still and waited for the other to move.
But neither ventured to do so.
"Aren't you going to attack?" Dooku asked.
"Are you?"
Dooku smiled. "Now you're playing my game."
"It's multiplayer."
A chuckle slipped out of Dooku smirking mouth. "YOu have no idea, do you?
That's why you won't attack to kill. You want to know what I know."
"Since when have you known anything?"
"Palpatine has returned."
Anakin nodded. "I know. I can smell the stench."
"He ordered me to kill Luke Skywalker..."
Anakin stiffened and Dooku raised an eyebrow.
"Any relation?"
"Any other information before I kill you?" Anakin countered, drawing his saber.
"Over my dead body..."
The jedi shrugged. "So be it."
They lunged at each other.
Obi-Wan stared at one of the ships in the docking bay.
If he wasn't mistaken, that was the Millennium Falcon. Han Solo's ship.
Obi Wan smiled and walked forward. This would be a little awkward.
He and Han had never seen exactly eye to eye on things and after being dead, well...
Han might not even believe a thing he said.
The back of the Falcon opened and the Chewie stepped out.
The moment he saw Obi-Wan he let out a fierce growl, grabbed him and lifted him up off the ground.
Obi-Wan struggled. "Chewie, it's me. It's Obi-Wan."
Chewie growled and shook him.
It occured to the jedi that he had come back considerably younger then he had actually left.
Plus it had been a long time. Chewie probably didn't remember him,
let alone recognize him.
"Chewie..." came a call. Han stepped out of the ship and yelled at the Wookie.
"Hey! How many times have I told you not to beat up customers?"
Chewie set Obi-Wan down and proceeded to rattle off his thoughts on the matter.
"I don't care if he looks like a Jedi, no choking people in public."
Han stepped forward and Obi Wan stood up. "Captain Solo."
"Actually it's General Solo. I haven't been a captain in years." Han answered crossing his arms.
Obi-Wan smiled. He hadn't changed a bit. "General Solo, my apologizes.
My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi... Actually you once knew me as Ben Kenobi..."
"Ben Kenobi?" Han thought for a moment. "Sorry, the name doesn't ring a bell."
"Well, you did call me 'fossil'. I came to you with Luke Skywalkerwanting a ship about seven years ago.
We hired your ship, the Millenium Falcon and went to rescue Princess Leia..."
Han froze and stared at him. "What?" He grabbed his blaster and aimed it at him.
"Who the heck are you?"
Obi-Wan held up his hands. "Please, Han. It's me.
I am Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I am not trying to cause any harm.
But I need to find Luke. Do you know where he is?"
"Yeah, I know where he is." Han answered. "How do I know who you are?"
"I am.."
"Yeah, I heard."
Chewie let out a growl filled with a whine.
Then he practically picked Obi-Wan off the ground and pulled him into a hug.
"Chewie, are you into opposites or WHAT?" Han called.
Chewie rattled off in Wookie.
"Are you sure?"
Chewie nodded.
Han shrugged and put down his blaster. "Well, he believes you."
Obi-Wan smiled at the Wookie nervously. "Thank you Chewie, uh... can I get down now?"
Anakin and Dooku fought furiously.
They continued to circle around each other as if they were in some sort of ancient dance.
But there was no music save for the hissing of their light sabers.
Dooku gritted his teeth and sneered at his opponent. "Your saber is blue,
I see you have betrayed your people once again."
Anakin didn't answer in words. Instead he swung around and cut off Dooku's left arm.
Dooku hissed in pain and almost losted his footing, but managed to grab it just in time.
The sabers continued to meet each other. Blue against red, one over powering the other and then switching.
The match was fairly even. But Dooku was tired of the exercise.
"I have no interest in killing your boy, Skywalker. But I have no choice in the matter."
Anakin glared back at him in defiance. "I have no choice in stopping you either.
Looks like we're in simular situations."
"Back down, Jedi. You can't possibly win."
"I have before."
Dooku sneered. "Palpatine helped you."
Anakin dogged a swing from Dooku's saber. "Odd, how you follow the man who
ordered your execution."
For a moment, Dooku dropped his guard and Anakin reached into the force,
pulling the saberr from his hand and brought both down around his opponent's neck.
"This looks familiar," Dooku commented and he got down on his knees. "Go ahead, kill me."
Anakin froze. His eyebrows twiched into a knot and confusion filled his eyes.
Dooku smiled evily.
"Are you a sith or a jedi Anakin?"
