Chapter 16: Current Situation
"Why have you asked for jedi assistance, if you dont want to be discovered by us?" Anakin asked adjusting himself in his chair.
"Because, Yukal and I need to move the base undetected, and it will take more then just 2 former jedi to move these people" Obi-wan answered finally getting to why Anakin had been sent here in the first place.
"Why move then?" Anakin asked, not fully understanding why they wanted to move the whole operation else where.
"Because, General Grevious is nearing here. If he finds me, he will kill me, Yukal and I know far too much about their plan, and anyone involved with us will be murdered as well. If they find out" Obi-wan said rubbing his eyes.
"So that means i cant tell the council of your presence here" Anakin stated in a slight question.
"Yes, Anakin, we must keep this secret. If the council finds out about what i have told you, Darth Sidious will suspect that i am still alive, which i think he thinks already, but this would be proof of my existance and he will do anything to track me down and kill me" Obi-wan sighed.
"So your running...Obi-wan, your letting the galaxy fall into darkness, when you could save it with this knowledge!" Anakin stared straight at Obi-wans' eyes, but Obi-wan adverted his attention elsewhere so he wouldnt have to look at Anakin straight in the eye.
"This knowledge will only bring more pain and suffering, not peace. No jedi will be able to stop him, not even Master Yoda himself! If they, when they find out that will be the destruction of the Jedi Order. Darth Sidious will get the senate to make him Emperor, and he will order all the jedi to be destoried" Obi-wan rubbed his forehead right above his damaged eye, he was getting a headache from this.
"How are you so sure that this is the set path for the future! The future is always in motion, you know, or have you forgotten that in your 4 years of hiding!" Anakin retorted.
"Ive searched every possibility, each one brings the same result, the destruction of the Jedi, and the end of the republic as we know it!" Obi-wan argued.
"What about me! I am suppose to be the chosen one, Bring balance to the force!" Anakin stood up.
"The Dark Side is more powerful then you realize, my young friend, you are not ready" Obi-wan closed his eyes slowly, this arguement was pointless. Anakin walked over to infront of Obi-wan and knelt down before him.
"Train me then...you know of the dark lords' power, you can help me, we can defeat him together" Anakin was completely determined now on setting this straight.
"No...I cant...Anakin, just please help me and Yukal move the base to another planet" Obi-wan said refusing to open his eyes, he wouldn't fall for Anakins' look, the one that always made him think the impossible could be done.
"I cant believe your running away, letting the republic fall like this..." Anakin hissed, angry with what his master was doing.
"Im not running away..." Obi-wan whispered, standing up walking over to the door and opening it. Admiral Yukal was standing there just about to come in.
"Hi Admiral..." Obi-wan smiled at Yukal.
"Hey Ben, Have you caught our jedi friend here up on our current situation?" Yukal smiles warmingly at Obi-wan then Anakin and then walking into the room.
'he knows who we really are now, Garen, no need for this act around him anymore' Obi-wan sent a force messenge to Yukal.
"So you know now...Young Skyewalker...Im assuming Obi-wan told you everything" Yukal spoke with a more serious tone.
"Yes, but i dont understand why you two just dont stand and fight, over throw darth sidious, you two are propably the only ones that can!" Anakin stated.
'you havent told him everything yet have you!' Yukal sent through the force to Obi-wan, looking at him for a second with an ackward look then looking back at Anakin.
'he doesnt need to know everything...just yet...just nod for now...' Obi-wan replied.
'you should tell him' Yukal replied back, nodding to anakin slowly, following Obi-wans' orders. He respected Obi-wan, and hoped for all their sakes he knew what he was doing.
"Anakin let me show you where you shall sleep tonight, tomorrow we will plan the movement of the base" Obi-wan said.
"Yes i am betting your rather tired, big day tomorrow, big day" Yukal smiled.
"I think what your doing is a bad idea, the both of you, we should inform the council!" Anakin was not finished with the arguement he had started.
"Enough of this, Anakin, We are moving the base, and if you dont help us, you will be defying the council, your mission guidlines, all of that!" Obi-wan pleaded with him almost, getting very tired of this.
"I am already defying the council by not being honest about all this information!" Anakin stated.
"But being dishonest about this is better then the other way around, they wont know about your defiance" Obi-wan grabbed him by the wrist.
"Trust me" Obi-wan said firmly looking straight up into Anakins' eyes, with the expression of complete assurance.
Silence fell in the room. After a few moments Anakin relunctantly lowered his head staring at the floor.
"We will get this plan in the works tomorrow..." He sighed heavily.
