Chapter 5: Consequences

The healers scurried into the chambers, quickly pulling Obi-Wan's limp form from the Jedi Master, and shoving him out of the way. As quickly as they came, they left, with Qui-Gon making to follow.

He was abruptly stopped by Yoda's voice. "Going where are you?"

"With Obi-Wan."

"Stay here you will, much to discuss we have." Qui-Gon stared at the Master, before he shook his head.

"I will take a formal reprimand if necessary- but I will not be parted from my once dead, now alive apprentice again!"

"Leave now and in trouble you will be," Yoda stated.

Turning to face Yoda and the others, Qui-Gon simply stated, "Then in trouble I shall be. I lost my apprentice five years ago, and now I have been given the gift of having him back, and if you think for one minute that I will leave him alone until I am sure he is all right, then you are sorely mistaken."

Turning he headed out of the chambers, leaving twelve very stunned council members starting after him.

Qui-Gon paced the waiting room of the healer's ward. He had been told to wait there while they took Obi-Wan back to check over him.

Qui-Gon stopped pacing and sat down in a chair and stared at the doors, willing them to open. As he sat there he let his thoughts wander to what had happened before.

When he saw Obi-Wan come barging in to the meeting he thought that what Obi-Wan had spoken earlier had come to pass, that he was there to try to kill the council. Then seeing him call Mace's saber in his hand and lunging at Master Depa, all Qui-Gon could do was stare. He watched with confusion as Obi-Wan battled Siri. He watched in horror as Obi-Wan called upon the darkside of the Force like it came natural to him.

Then he felt his heart freeze in fear as he saw Obi-Wan kill Siri then collapse to the floor in pain. He was moving before Obi-Wan had called for him in his pain. As he fell to the floor next to him, Qui-Gon knew how to help, and with out a thought, opened his link to Obi-Wan and let the power he carried wash over Obi-Wan and banished the darkness.

Suddenly Qui-Gon sat up in the chair.

Obi-Wan!

Qui-Gon leapt from his chair and ran through the open doors to the room where Obi-Wan being treated. He stopped outside the room and stared in horror at what he saw.

Obi-Wan was lying on the table thrashing about, with the healers desperately trying to keep him still so he wouldn't hurt himself. Then Qui-Gon felt the icy feeling of death touch him as Obi-Wan suddenly stilled.

He looked back and cried out in horror. Obi-Wan has stopped breathing.

"Obi-Wan no! Please don't leave me again!"

Yoda sat with the other council members, each discussing what had just happened. He listened to all the points and needless comments flying around the chamber.

Finally unable to take it anymore, Yoda slammed his gimmer stick down with such force that everyone quickly shut up and stared at him.

"There, think now I can. Obi-Wan is still a child of light, but is tainted by darkness. Force-bind him we can not," he stated.

"But Master, how can we not? He is dangerous. A Force-bind must be put in place," Adi Gallia said.

"Bind will not hold. Too powerful Obi-Wan has become."

" Then we must keep him here under guard. He must not be allowed to fall to the darkside or all that we know will be lost," Ki Adi Mundi stated.

"Agree I do. Obi-Wan must not fall. Assign a guard we will. Master Jinn shall watch over him. He is the ONLY one who can," Yoda stated.

All the Councilor's agreed with Yoda's comment. They knew if anyone could control Obi-Wan it would be Qui-Gon.
