Chapter 14
Master Yoda snapped his eyes open and put a hand to his head, his breath coming harder than normal.
All of a sudden two Jedi Masters burst through the door, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu.
"You felt it too?" Obi-Wan asked Yoda,
Yoda nodded.
"Anger, pain, suffering, I feel. Something terrible has happened, I feel. The dark side, unusually strong, it is."
All around the great Jedi temple Jedi and Padawans alike were stopping what ever they were doing. Some put hands to their heads, some looked around in fear and confusion, some put hands over their hearts, still others broke down in tears of pain, anguish, and fear.
All knew something had happened, the force was pulsing in darkness, squirming in anger, and screaming in pain.
Any being attached to the force felt it, felt it and feared it. Feared it more than anything they had ever feared before.
Walking fast Obi-Wan and Mace hurried toward the Chancellor's office, they needed the security disk from the office. After retrieving it they hurried back to the room in which Yoda was waiting for them.
"He was not there." Obi-Wan said.
"Neither was Skywalker or Adeana." Mace put in.
Yoda nodded again.
"Know what happened, fear I." He said.
Obi-Wan slid the disk into the slot and a hologram image of three people came up.
"You see, all they want is my power over the Senate." Palpatine's voice said.
Mace glanced over at Obi-Wan then over at Yoda.
"It may come as a shock to you both, but I have been working against the Council for over thirty years."
Looking aghast, Obi-Wan looked over at Yoda.
"Why didn't we know?" He asked.
Yoda raised a finger for silence.
"Open your eyes to the dark side! Only with it can you become invincible!"
Everything from then on seemed to jump at Obi-Wan, his mind working to hard against itself.
"You won't have to hide your love for each other."
In horrid fascination Obi-Wan watched as the images of Anakin and Adeana kneeled to the Sith Lord.
"We will do what ever you say, master."
"Good, good! Now rise Darth Vader, Darth Arion."
"What now my master?"
"Now we go to Praesitlyn."
Not being able to stand it any more Obi-Wan turned the image off, shaking his head in disbelief.
"They wouldn't do that, he wouldn't do that!"
"Twisted by the dark side, they have become." Yoda said.
"Deceived by lies and treasury." Mace added in an under tone
"I never knew about them." Obi-Wan said. "About their, attachment."
"Sensed it, none of us have."
"What do we do now?" Mace asked.
"Go to Praesitlyn, we must. To let this darkness spread, disastrous it would be. All Jedi, all padawans, rally to landing deck."
Mace Windu rushed off to do as the elder master requested, knowing that Yoda knew what he was doing.
Obi-Wan just stood there, still refusing to accept it all. Yoda stood and slowly walked over to the mentally and emotionally torn master.
"A Jedi shall not know anger, nor hatred, nor love." Was all he said.
With a slow nod Obi-Wan followed Yoda out of the room and toward the landing deck. Every where they looked people were running about, collecting what ever they would need for the trip.
"I'm sorry master." Obi-Wan said as they walked. "I just- it's just- I never thought they were capable of all this." He finally said.
"To late, it may not be." Yoda said.
"To late for what?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Capable, we still may be, to save them from the dark side."
"I can only hope."
When they reached the deck fifteen large transports were full of Jedi, padawans, and clones. Twenty some starfighters were on and ready to go, their professional pilots ready for orders. Obi-Wan helped Yoda into the head transport along with Mace Windu and the rest of the Council.
"Are we ready?" Obi-Wan asked, slightly shaky.
Mace nodded and spoke into the on board radio. "Lets go!"
Engines revved and ships started to rise, as soon as the hanger doors were open ten of the starfighters zoomed out. Then the transports followed, followed by the rest of the starfighters.
To all who saw the fleet it sent a chill down their spine, it was a clear sign of a battle to come.
Well there you go! I'm glad that chapters over with! It was hard to write because I wasn't sure how I wanted Obi-Wan to react to all that's going on. Please tell me what you think of this chapter, good or bad! I can say one thing about the next few chapters, I think you'll like them, I know I enjoyed writing them! Please keep reading! P.S. I'm also working on another story that me and my friend are writing. It's no where near done but it's another love story between Anakin and a new padawan. I cant tell you to much about it, but I'll inform you all when I post the first chapter. And for those "non flame" flames, I think you would like that one, I think It's alot better, I read what you said and thank you for the critisism. The Characters, in my opinion, are deeper and there are more conflicts and things of the sort. (Also, there is a deeper relationship between padawan and master in it!) When I post it please read it and tell me what you think. I'm trying to improve!
