Chapter 3: The Past Remembered

Obi-Wan found himself floating in a dark void. He had felt the Sith's saber pierce his body, and fiery agony behind it. He remembered telling Qui-Gon goodbye, and Qui-Gon pleading with him to stay, and then after that nothing.

"Am I dead," he wondered out loud.

"No, my dear Jedi. However, you will be in a matter of moments."

Obi-Wan tried to see who it was that was speaking, but all he could see was darkness. Suddenly darkside energy began swirling around him, attacking his body. Obi-Wan tried to block the blows with the Light side of the Force, but found he had been cut off from it.

Every time the darkside energy attacked him, he could feel his hold on life getting weaker and weaker.

"The pain shall stop in time. I must make it so that you are dead to the Jedi, then you will be mine. A servant of darkness and the destroyer of the Jedi."

"I will never turn. Kill me here and now. I won't help."

"Oh, but you will my young Jedi. You will."

And the darkside increased in force and Obi-Wan writhed in agony and then knew no more.

Obi-Wan sat alone in his small living quarters that he had been given. After his little announcement, Yoda and Mace felt that it would be better if no more details were given, until the full council could convene later that day.

Qui-Gon had not been happy at that, but knew there was nothing he could do and left it alone.

Earlier:

Qui-Gon spun and looked at Obi-Wan in utter shock. He looked at his former apprentice's face to see if what he had said was true. He knew that Obi-Wan's eyes always spoke the truth, as they did now.

"How could the darkside be responsible for this? And should he not be under guard, if what he says is true," Qui-Gon asked the two council members.

Before either could speak, Obi-Wan answered for them.

"Master Jinn is correct. I think it would be best if I retire to a room of your choosing. For it is daylight out and I would not like to have to answer questions that at this time I have no way of answering. And to answer your question Master Jinn, it is possible and the darkside is responsible for me being here. And for that I am grateful. But no more answers shall I answer until I am before the whole council."

Yoda and Mace both agreed and lead him to a small room where he would be safe, leaving a very stunned Qui-Gon standing alone in the room.

So here Obi-Wan sat, waiting to be called. He sighed to himself, and turned to watch the traffic of the early morning.

Suddenly he turned and ran from the small room, and past the padawan sent to fetch him.

Quickly arriving to at the council chambers, Obi-Wan burst through and looked around.

A few startled gasps could me heard as those present recognized who he was.

"Kenobi, you normally wait for us to call you, instead of bursting in," Depa stated.

Obi-Wan turned to her, and she gasped at what she saw there. Nothing but cold emotionless eyes.

Suddenly, much to everyone's horror, Obi-Wan used the Force and pulled the lightsaber off the belt of a startled Mace and ignited it. Not sparring a moment, Obi-Wan quickly lunged at Depa and slashed down. A thud was heard and the utter silence.
