Chapter XI:
He sat in a dark corner of his cell, with his knees pressed up against his chest. He knew things were grim. Thoughts of failure danced through his head. He began to feel hopeless. He had let the dark side win, he felt that it was his fault for everything that had happened.
Suddenly, a blue light filled his cell, and the ghost of Qui Gon Jinn appeared. "You let them get to you Obi Wan." He said in a scolding tone.
Obi Wan turned his head, trying to ignore the specter.
"Facing the Emperor was a foolish thing padawan, he used your emotions against you." Qui Gon continued. He looked at his former apprentice trying to hide in a corner, the Jedi master sighed to himself. "So, now what?" Qui Gon asked.
"You tell me, you're the one with all the answers." Obi Wan said snidely.
A passing storm trooper heard him talking and went to see what was going on, but upon inspection of his cell, it seemed that Obi Wan Kenobi was talking to himself.
"You have your destiny Obi Wan." Qui Gon urged.
"My destiny? And what destiny would that be Qui Gon? Because from the looks of things, it seems that my destiny has more to do with the inside of this cell than anything else." Obi Wan said in almost a shout.
"Wallowing is self pity won't give you the answers padawan." Qui Gon said in a tone that made Obi Wan feel like he was thirteen again.
Obi Wan looked at his former master, and tears came to his eyes. "It's my fault, all of it."
"Obi Wan."
"It all started with you, it's my fault you died, then Anakin, the other Jedi...She-ar-ah, and my...my son. All of you gone, because of me."
"Obi Wan, turn to the force, it'll give you strength. You are surrounded by darkness, but it will guide you out." Qui Gon said to his "son". "I'm so sorry you have been chosen to handle this burden, if I had only known the force's will..."
"Then what? Then you wouldn't have died? You wouldn't have left me all alone? Left me alone to fail?" Obi Wan turned away from his master. "Palpatine was right about me."
"If you're so worthless, then why were you chosen to save the Jedi?" Qui Gon turned Obi Wan to face him.
"But I didn't..."
"There's still time; you're still here."
Obi Wan looked at Qui Gon. "Luke."
Qui Gon nodded. "We need you more than ever padawan." With that Qui Gon disappeared.
Obi Wan pondered for a moment the things that had transpired. He looked up at the door, and saw the storm trooper standing guard. He walked towards his capture, and called upon the force. "Excuse me?" He called to the guard.
"What?" The trooper snapped back.
Sighing a deep sigh Obi Wan did something he wasn't fond of. "You will take me to a transport" He said, waving a hand in front of the trooper.
Moments later he found himself at the docking bay. Before boarding his ship he turned to the storm trooper and waved his hand one more time. "Obi Wan Kenobi no longer exists."
"No longer exists." The trooper repeated.
"Now, go tell your master this news." And with that the trooper left the Jedi alone in the hanger.
Obi Wan left Courascant that day, never to return again.
He returned to Tatooine, and his brother brandishing a blaster to his chest greeted him. "Get off my land." Owen commanded.
"Owen, don't be foolish." Obi Wan stated calmly, with his hands in the air.
"Stay away from Luke; I won't let him go on any of your damn idealistic crusades and end up like his father." Owen continued.
"Owen, nothing happens by accident with the force. If Luke is meant to be trained, then he will be."
"Over my dead body." Owen pushed the gun closer to Obi Wan.
"So be it brother, but I will watch over the boy, I have a promise to keep." Obi Wan said, as he turned to leave.
The years past by and Obi Wan kept his word, and kept a constant visual on the boy. One evening he found himself overlooking the farm and a boy of about 11 years old came out. The boy noticed the again Jedi. Owen came out after the boy.
"Is that Old Ben Kenobi? Uncle Owen?" The boy turned to Owen.
"Yes it is Luke." Owen answered, as he looked up at his brother.
"Can he come to dinner?" The boy asked politely.
"No, you stay away from him do you hear me?" Owen reprimanded.
"But why?" The boy asked in almost a whiney tone.
"Because, he is a crazy old hermit and only brings trouble."
"But..." Luke tried to press his luck.
"No buts. Now come inside Luke." With that the two disappeared out of sight from their watchman.
Obi Wan watched intently; the warm desert air whipped at his hair and beard that had begun to turn white with age, or stress, or both. Qui Gon appeared next to him on top of the cliff. "He grows stronger in the force everyday." Obi Wan commented to his friend.
"We need him Obi Wan, to ensure our future." The ghost replied.
"All we can do is wait..." Obi Wan faced his former master. "And hope." With that Obi Wan Kenobi returned to his house to wait for the day when it was finally the time when the Jedi would return, but until then he had to remain...alone.
The End!
