Supreme Sacrifice, Part 6 - Epilogue

            "Obi-Wan, you're our only hope."

            "Mace, look, I can't.   I've got commitments here." Obi-Wan replied calmly into the communicator. "I can't just leave, things are escalating."      

            "Obi-Wan, Anakin is killing us off.  The darkside, its so strong in him, I've seen three council members go in the last week.  You're the only one who can talk to him, who can get through to him." Mace pleaded gently.

            "I promised Bail that I would be there to command.  The Clone Wars are escalating and we need to put an end to it."

            "At the cost of what Obi-Wan?  Anakin will destroy the Jedi Order, destroy all we have achieved."

            "Alright Mace, Alright.  Where was he last seen?"

            "We believe he was last on Naboo, seeing his…wife." Mace spit out. "She last informed us that he would be heading there and then on the fifth moon in the Yavin System."

            "Alright, I'll get on my way as soon as I can."

            "Obi-Wan…. Padme's pregnant." Mace sighed.  "Anakin is going to be a father."

            "No…" Obi-Wan whispered.

            "You have to protect their children, don't let Anakin know.  We will take Padme to Alderaan while you try to deal with Anakin, we will meet you there."

            "Yes Mace" Obi-Wan nodded and then clicked off the comm.

            "Master!" Anakin cried out in surprise. "Why are you here?"

            "I'm here to try to talk some sense into you Anakin." Obi-Wan sighed and spread his hands.

            "Master, I'm doing the right thing, finally.  My Master has shown me the light, and shown me the savage and cruel things the Jedi have done to me and my family.  They deserve their fate."

            "Anakin, this is not the way." Obi-Wan quietly told him, moving closer.

            "Obi-Wan, this is your last choice. You are no longer a Jedi, and so I will not kill you, if you leave now."

            "Anakin, please." Obi-Wan tried. "Let me help you."

            "If you will not leave, then you will die!" Anakin replied, ignoring him.  He drew his lightsaber and ignited it.

            Swiftly, he brought his lightsaber down upon Obi-Wan in a familiar motion to disarm him.  Obi-Wan brought up his own lightsaber and countered it, his fighting skills returning to him.  They duelled back and forth over the sandy terrain, Obi-Wan hoping to tire Anakin but not seeing it happen.  Anakin was faster than him, and enhanced by his strong link to the Force.  Obi-Wan did have one advantage, he was the one to train Anakin and knew how he operated in most situations.  Step by step, Obi-Wan pushed at Anakin, striving to somehow get through to him.  It seemed hopeless, and watched as Anakin vaulted away from him into a series of flips.  Obi-Wan followed leisurely, also having the advantage in knowing the terrain of the moon. 

            "Anakin, please, duelling will not solve anything."

            "Then drop your sword and accept your faith." Anakin cried back, yelling over the increasing wind.

            "NO!  This is not the way!" Obi-Wan cried back.

            "It its your destiny, Master!" Anakin called out, and attacked him again.
