Anuvuin: episode #39
Qui-Gon's funeral and The Parade
Part 2
Previously: Anakin blew up the Droid Control ship from
the inside so the droid army was stopped. Amidala contacted Palpatine in order
to tell him the good news. Palpatine
reacted rather strangely, but set up an arrangement for Qui-Gon's funeral. Rune Haako and Nute Gunray were dropped off
at (I started writing Imperial Security…wake up here) Republic Security. Obi-Wan went to The Council to inform them
what took place. The Council has agreed to give Obi-Wan the title of Jedi Knight
without facing the trials.
Majority
rules, and much to Yoda's dislike, the Council has agreed to let Anakin become
an apprentice.
Yoda turns to the other Council members,
"Call Obi-Wan back, I will."
The other Council member leave and Yoda is
the only one Obi-Wan meets with. He
stops forward.
Yoda says,
"Confer on you the Council does the Level of the Jedi Knight, but agree with
taking this boy as your Padawan Learner, I do not."
Obi-Wan
solemnly nods and then says, "but Qui-Gon believed in him. I made a promise to Qui-Gon Jinn before he
died, and I intend to keep that promise. I will train him even if I have to go against the Council."
Yoda sighs.
"Great fear I sense in this boy's training,
great fear. Clouded this boy's future is. Hard to see the future is, always in motion."
Obi-Wan says, "I promise that I will be
careful in his training."
Yoda sighs again, "Remember your promise and
stick with it. Agree the Council does. Your apprentice Skywalker will be."
Obi-Wan bows and leaves. Darth Sidious was staring into the into the
night sky. He was mad.
"The
bother! Now I'll have to train another
apprentice. I have to teach everything
all over again!"
Darth Sidious
did not care about Darth Maul…he only cared that he lost an apprentice and had
to train one all over again. Sidious
drew back as the time of the funeral neared. One part I forgot to mention is that when they had landed on Coruscant,
someone came escorting Palpatine.
"Senator Palpatine has been elected Supreme
Chancellor."
Palpatine had a big smile on his face.
Amidala had
said, "Congratulations on your election."
"Thank
you. Together, we will bring peace and
prosperity to the Republic," was his reply.
Anyway, as Supreme Chancellor, Palpatine was
standing at a prime location during the funeral. There was a large bonfire going. Mace Windu was standing next to Yoda on the other side of the fire, but
tin hearing range of Palpatine. Obi-wan
was standing next to Mace Windu, and Anakin was on the other side of
Obi-Wan. Anakin looks up at
Obi-Wan.
"What's going
to happen to me now that Qui-Gon is dead?"
"The Council has given me permission to train
you. You will become a Jedi, I
promise you that," Obi-Wan says turning to Anakin.
Yoda says,
"When Sith exist, tow there usually are, a master and an apprentice."
Mace Windu says, "But which was destroyed…the
master or the apprentice?"
Yoda could
give no reply. Palpatine stared into
the fire. Then, the next morning they
all went to Naboo for the parade. All
participants went parading down the street. ON the steps of the palace stood the following people: Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Queen Amidala,
Boss Nass, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and R2-D2.
Upon passing
Anakin, Palpatine says, "We shall watch your career grow with great interest,"
as he pats Anakin on the head.
Even though the words were nice, for some
reason a chill goes up Anakin's spine as he says this. Palpatine stooped to stand beside Amidala as
they prepared to continue on with the next art of the ceremony. Amidala held a peace ball thing and
presented it to Boss Nass.
They both held
on to it as both of them say, "Peace…" then Amidala says, "from this point
forward, The Gungans will always be a t peace with the Naboo. WE will live together."
R2-D2 beeped. This made Amidala smile. She smiled at Anakin, and he smiled back. One thing, before we close the story, that I
neglected to mention before is something that happened with the Solo's. While Mr. Solo was holding baby Han, a
robber came in and broke into the house. They attacked Mr. Solo. There was nothing he could really do about it
since he was in a wheelchair. Baby Han
was kidnapped and was taken to live a Smuggler's life at Jabba the Hutt's
Palace on Tatooine and on his home on Nal Hutta.
