Anuvuin: episode #37 Qui-Gon's Death and Obi-Wan's Promise

Part 2

Previously: Amidala and her crew were able to capture the Viceroy by tricking the Trade Federation into leading them into the throne room, and then having them think that Mrs. Solo is really Amidala. They seal the door and now have the Federation leaders as prisoners. Also, The Jedi and Darth Maul fought. Darth Maul seriously wounded Qui-Gon Jinn.

Anyway, Obi-Wan went after Maul with a sense of determination for good. Obi-Wan could tell that Qui-Gon was not dead yet, but the wound was probably fatal l and he didn't have much time left. Darth Maul attacked Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan reacted faster than Qui-Gon had…not because e had d stronger force (he didn't …they had about the save level) but because he was younger. Obi-Wan and Darth Maul are approximately the same age. Darth Maul tried to do what he had with Qui-Gon, but Obi-Wan was too fast. When Maul started to lunge the other end forward, Obi-Wan made a fast movement with his lightsaber and cut it in half. Maul kicked the other end into the deep pit…reactor core o whatever it was. Maul now had the same size blade that Obi-wan had. This distracted Obi-Wan (the kicking the other end into the pit) and Darth Maul tried kicking Obi-Wan into it. Obi-Wan lost his balance and dropped his lightsaber in the process. Luckily, Obi-Wan found something sticking out of the pit the grab onto, but he knew he was in trouble. Darth Maul smiled meanly. He would kill Obi-Wan and Darth Sidious would be pleased he was sure. Darth Maul enjoyed watching Obi-Wan hang on.

"Only a couple more minutes," he told himself, and he would kill him!

He kicked Obi-Wan's lightsaber over the edge. Maul loved watching other people's suffering, especially the Jedi. But those couple of seconds proved fatal to Darth Maul as Obi-Wan tired to remain clam. Obi-Wan helplessly saw his lightsaber hit the sides of the pit as it went t down. He winced…he knew eh had little time before Maul would d o the same to him. He glanced around. What could he do? Then his eyes fell on Qui-Gon…and his lightsaber.

"If I could get that…"

and Obi-Wan made up his mind as to what to do next. He reached out with the force and moved Qui-Gon's lightsaber as he also used it t help himself jump up. Obi-Wan ignited Qui-Gon's lightsaber on his way up and drove it into Darth Maul…and cut him in half. Darth Maul's body fell into the pit. Obi-Wan ran over to Qui-Gon and tried to help him.

"You're too late, Obi-Wan." Meaning that Qui-Gon was going to die.

Obi-Wan shook his head as he started crying.

"No, master…"

"Well done, Obi-wan. You must o to the council and tell them what happened. I only have minutes left."

Obi-Wan started crying some more.

Qui-Gon continues, "You've been a good apprentice. You are already a much wiser man than I am, and I foresee you to become a great Jedi. Obi-Wan…promise me you will train the boy. He is the Chosen one."

Obi=Wan nodded, "I will, master."

Qui-Gon nodded to acknowledge that he heard him. Then Qui-Gon Jinn died and Obi-wan just stat down and cried, holding his dead master's body. Now, meanwhile here is Anakin's role. Anakin's hiding place (the one remaining ship) takes off on automatic pilot and heads for the droid control ship.

"Artoo…take this thing off auto pilot or it's going to get us both killed."

By now they have actually reached the droid control ship. The other pilots are trying hard to get at the reactor thing.

One of the pilots says, "the shield's too strong for the weapons…this is impossible."

Anakin's ship is now off autopilot. Anakin uses his instincts not because he thinks it'll help him, but because that's how he's always done things.

"This is just like podracing!" says Anakin.

R2-D2 beeps.

"Yeah, I know," says Anakin.

He goes left…then he decides to spin (both off his instincts) and when he ties pulling out of it, a droid ship is shooting at him. He sees nowhere to go but in a little opening inside the Control ship. Anakin goes there without thinking twice about it. When he gets inside, he applies the brakes right away because they went in there very fast. He has no desire to hit the wall on the other end. The ship stops because it's over heated.

Anakin tires and tries, then says, "everything's' over heated."

He turns off the engine to let it cool down, and then takes a look as to where he is.

"Oops…this isn't good."

A bunch of battle droids are there…and they are running for him now.

Until next time!
