Chapter 7 Obi-Wan Kenobi
It was supposed to be a simple confrontation. He, Mace, and the others simply had to bring the Chancellor to the Council so he could explain himself. Anakin was safe in the Temple. Harry was safe with Padme. How did everything go so wrong?
Only he and Mace were left fighting, the others cut down by Chancellor Palpetine's sith-red lightsaber. Palpetine, a Sith Lord. Obi-Wan locked blades with the Dark Lord of the Sith and the older man sneered at him.
"Pathetic," Palpetine snarled. "Is this all the Jedi can confront me with? I figured you would have been some challenge since you trained the Chosen One, but I appear to be mistaken."
"You will not corrupt Anakin," Obi-Wan ground out, almost buckling under the force of the other's lightsaber. "He is not your puppet to control."
The Chancellor smiled, a disgusting thing. "No, he belongs to the Jedi, doesn't he." Obi-Wan was thrown back with a wave to the Dark Side of the Force and Palpetine battled with Windu. "You Jedi…how can you call yourselves protectors of evil when so many of your kind break your rules. You couldn't even sense a Sith right in front of you, you're all so corrupted!" he crowed.
"The Jedi are faithful to the end," Mace spat back. "Something a deceitful Sith wouldn't understand."
"Oh, but I am not the only one in this room who doesn't understand faith towards your Jedi code," he cooed as he turned his Force Lightning onto Mace, who blocked it with his lightsaber. Obi-Wan's eyes widened. He couldn't know. They were so careful— "Isn't that right, Master Kenobi?"
Palpetine took pleasure in Obi-Wan's horror and cackled. "Oh, yes! I know all about your whore and the whelps in bared unnaturally. I even sent them a little present once I knew you were coming."
Red swarmed over Obi-Wan's vision. He dared to threaten his children, his husband—
His very capable husband. Who could take out dozens of opponents without breaking a sweat.
The anger faded and Obi-Wan struck decisively. Instead of swinging in furious anger like Palpetine expected, he made a precise slash to the Chancellor's outstretched hands. The blue lightsaber sliced through flesh and Palpetine roared in pain. Lightning jumped from his stumps all around and Obi-Wan did the only thing he could do to guarantee he and Mace's safety.
Palpetine's head left his shoulders and the Chancellor's office exploded.
A/N: I tried.
