Chapter 7 - Clean-up
The following morning, the trade road was clogged with droid pieces, aliens of many species helping clean then up. In the near distance, the Swift Blade was landing, its grey coverings gleaming in the clear day sun.
In the Wookie village, Obi-Wan and Anakin stood, waiting for the Jedi Masters Windu or Yoda to come and talk to them, as is customary after a mission is completed. As expected, a purple speeder, bearing the Republic insignia approached, Master Plo Koon, with his calm posture and intimidating features, stood tall in the back. Wookies who caught a glimpse of him were slightly afraid of him, and tried to walk away without being obvious or rude. Master Plo Koon stepped off, striding to Obi-Wan and Anakin in confidence.
"Master Plo Koon, I am pleased to see you, but, if I may inquire, where are Masters Windu and Yoda?" Obi-Wan said lighthearted but serious, bowing with his Padawan following moments behind.
"They are still occupied on Rhen Var, young Kenobi, but they will be at the Jedi Temple when we reach there." He responded in a deep voice that emitted from his breather mask, adding more mystery and intimidation to him if you were not clear as to who he was and why he wore the goggles and breather mask.
Anakin looked at Plo Koon, one of the greatest Jedi Masters of their time. He was Kel Dor, and had served on the Council since before Anakin was admitted to the Temple, and rightfully so. Even though he needed special goggles and a breather mask to live on oxygen rich planets, his exposed extrasensory organs helped his Force powers expand to a new level, which more than made up for it. Even though his appearance struck fear in many, he was a devoted follower and practitioner of the Council and the Code, and always was in the service of those who needed it, never asking a question.
As one of the few survivors of the Battle of Geonosis, he was, by now, a full-fledged Commander of the Clone Army, and led the clone army to many victories.
"Master, do you need us to stay and help clean-up?" Obi-Wan questioned.
"No, you and your apprentice are to do a special mission for the Council. I cannot discuss it here, but it will be discussed once you return to Coruscant on the Swift Blade."
"Yes, Master. Let me thank the Wookie village leader, and then we can leave."
Obi-Wan jogged to the big hut, leaving his apprentice and Plo Koon by the central fire, now doused due to the sunlight, and approached the biggest hut in the village: that of the Chief. To his dismay, he found no one there. He looked around and found a tall Wookie towering over the rest, his metal necklace gleaming in the light as he helped construct a new hut. He continued to jog, and reached the leader, bowing in recognition and respect. The Wookie Chief stopped working and acknowledged the bow, returning it awkwardly.
"Thank you for accepting and adding us in the fight. You are a truly great leader."
The Wookie howled in acceptance, and, as it appeared to Obi-Wan, a thank you as well. Then, unexpectedly, the Wookie removed his necklace and placed it on Obi-Wan as a peace gift, and a sign of their friendship.
"Thank you," Obi-Wan said graciously.
The Wookie howled once more, then brought Obi-Wan forward in a fierce hug, then released him and returned to work.
Obi-Wan jogged back to Plo Koon and Anakin, ready to leave.
Anakin was standing their briefing Master Plo Koon on the mission. He finished as soon as Obi-Wan approached, then Plo Koon described the space battle that raged above.
"The Swift Blade took quite a beating, but Captain Kentel is quite a pilot."
"Let's go," Obi-Wan said, ready to leave and return to his home at the Temple.
"Yes, Master," Anakin said without disagreeing, excited that he'll get to exchange stories with Captain Kentel.
Anakin followed his Master, admiring his dedication and determination to keeping peace. He was proud Obi-Wan Kenobi was his Master.
Proud indeed.
