Chapter: IXV (I think that's roman numerals for 14)
Early one morning, a few weeks after Obi Wan had been released from the healers, he found himself standing before a small skeet ship. He leaned his weight on his walking staff that he still had to use to get around. His healing had made leaps and bounds, but there was still some things he had to do. He hated sneaking around behind Qui Gon's back, but he couldn't let his master know where he was going, this was something he had to do alone. Behind him, Obi Wan could hear the sound of another person's walking staff, Obi Wan turned to see Yoda making his way to the younger man. Obi Wan did his best to bow to the Jedi master.
"Thank you for meeting me master Yoda." Obi Wan said, as he came back from his bow.
"So sure you want to do this hmmm?" Yoda asked him, sleepy eyes staring into Obi Wan's.
"I need closure master."
"Understand this I do. But warn you I do, emotional things heading into you are." Yoda put a hand on the boy's.
"I know master."
Yoda's eyes went wide. "Still a dangerous time for you this is, not so sure wise idea this was."
Obi Wan nodded. "I have to do this master...alone."
"Never alone are you, the force always by your side. Remember this you must Obi Wan, never alone are you...never alone will you be."
Obi Wan was taken back by Yoda's words, they seemed to frighten him a little. "I will always turn to the force master, it will give me strength." With that Obi Wan entered the ship's cockpit. "Tell master Qui Gon that I will be back, and not to worry." He called out to Yoda.
Yoda nodded. 'Worry still he will I think. Reckless this one is.' Yoda then watched the 16-year-old apprentice pilot his ship out of the temple. He sighed to himself.

Obi Wan piloted his ship through the morning traffic on Courascant. He made his way to the far side of the planet, to the Courascant Correctional Facility. He had received a pass from Chancellor Vallorum to be able to go deep into the prison. He made his way pass various different species, which had committed crimes against the senate. Finally, he found the cell he was looking for. He noticed a figure lying on his bed; the dark figure looked up when he noticed Obi Wan, and laughed.
"Missed me did you?" The figure asked, his voice sending chills down Obi Wan's spine.
Obi Wan looked at the man, hate began to fill his body.
The man strolled to the bars, and looked at Obi Wan, his eyes beaming. "So, they saved you after all, I'm impressed Qui Gon bothered, I mean, he didn't with me."
"That's because you failed Qui Gon." Obi Wan finally answered.
"Oh and you didn't? I'm sure you could've stopped us...if you really wanted us too. But I think you enjoyed it." Xanatos smiled. "And you stopped our master from killing me...you must've liked it somewhat."
Obi Wan couldn't take his taunts anymore. He focused with the force, and Xanatos began to gasp for air. "You listen to me, I could kill you right now, and no one would miss you. If you ever come near my master, do you hear me? My master again, so help me god, I will kill you." He tightened his grip on Xanatos' neck. "The universe would thank me for ridding it of you..." Xanatos gasped for air, but found it harder and harder, suddenly Obi Wan let go, and Xanatos fell to the floor. "But you're not worth it. Because if I had killed you, then you would've won; the force is my ally Xanatos, and not you or any other dark lord will change that." With that Obi Wan left the coughing Xanatos alone, a smile across his face. 'Gods that felt good'.

Obi Wan made his way across the galaxy, it had been a long trip, but he had one more stop before he could go home. He piloted his small ship to an orange planet in the outer rim territory; a planet by the name of Tatooine, or so is what Obi Wan thought was it's name. He heard the story of how Qui Gon ran into his real mother, Obi Wan needed to make sure. He set the coordinates that Yoda gave him, and landed near a moisture farm on the outskirts of a town. As he made his way down the ramp of the ship, he saw a boy of about 11 or 12 years old making his way to the ship. The boy was carrying a blaster, and pointed it at Obi Wan. Obi Wan held up his hands to show the boy that he was unarmed, even though his light saber was hanging by his side.
"What do you want?" The boy asked in an angry tone.
"I'm looking for Nynal Kenobi." Obi Wan answered, blinking at the light of the harsh suns.
"Why?" The boy kept the blaster pointed at the stranger.
"A personal matter. Is she here?"
"Owen?" Another man's voice came from the homestead. "What's going on?"
"We have a visitor father." Owen called back. Then a man in his 40's or 50's came forward. Obi Wan bowed out of respect, not knowing what else to do. "He's looking for mom!" The boy called to his father. Obi Wan's eyes grew wide. 'Mom? This is my brother?'
"Hello, my name is Roje Lars, this is my son Owen." The man shook Obi Wan's hand.
"I'm Obi Wan Kenobi..." Before Obi Wan could say anything else the man spoke again.
"You're Obi Wan?" Obi Wan nodded. The man looked at him suspicious. "Why have you come here?"
"I'm looking for my mother, I would like to meet her..." Obi Wan hung his head "I don't remember her, and I'd like to."
Roje and Owen exchanged sad glances. "My wife is very ill sir, she doesn't have much longer I'm afraid."
Obi Wan noticed tears falling from Owen's eyes. Obi Wan's own throat grew tight. "Please sir, all I want to do is see her." Owen was ready to protest, but Roje nodded.
"She would like that Obi Wan, she misses you greatly."
With that, Obi Wan followed his new family into their home; he wasn't sure what he would say to his mother, he just knew he had to see her.
