I'm a french girl! enjoy and leave a review please!
"What do you mean he is out of control ? " Obi-Wan Kenobi asked from his ship in orbit on Utapau."He started to claim that the Code was wrong, and I told you what he did to Master Nu. It's been one hour now and her state hasn't changed since." Shaak Ti answered.. "You must talk to him."
Obi-Wan ran his hand over his face, thinking.
"Do you know what happened between Anakin and the Chancellor ?" he finally asked."No. But something terrible happened."
Obi-Wan raised an eyebrow. " What make you think that ? Didn't you feel anything ?"
"You're talking about the feeling that a piece of an old puzzle had taken back its place? Yes, I felt it, but the Chosen One had been shaken by that and now he's out of control. "
"Well, I wonder if he has ever been." Obi-Wan responded , looking away.
Master Ti looked at him, troubled. "What do you mean ?" She asked
"Anakin has always been against some part of the Code. He has always thought some parts were wrong. Especially about the emotions.""He was raised in a world full of emotions before entering the order. He has never fully adapted to Jedi life. He has always been so troublesome. Don't you remember how many pranks he did ?"
"How could I not? I have been his favourite aim. I still am by the way." Obi-Wan laughed lightly.
"He's still behaving like a youngling ?"
"In some ways, yes."
"So he is immature !"
"Anakin is complicated. He's immature, wise, strong, powerful, adorable, generous, unpredictable and more. I've been his master for twelve years and still, somehow, I don't understand him fully."
Master Ti thought about what Master Kenobi had just confessed. Even the master of the Chosen One doesn't understand him fully. If he didn't, how could the Council control him ? Yet, Master Kenobi was the one the young man obeyed the most, but he didn't do it often. All that Master Kenobi had said didn't make her feel secure.
"What do you suggest ?" She finally asked
"If you try to cross him, show him respect. Don't get too close to him. He come from a desert planet, he has an important personal area. Don't try to impose your rank. He was a slave; he has been treated like a jerk for all the beginning of his life. He has always heard that he wasn't worth anything. If you show him that you estimate that both of you are equal he'd be nicer with you."
Master Ti had never thought about that.
"And, don't attack him. You won't get anything with him that way. If you come with a white flag, he will be more ready to discuss. In the slave quarter of Mos Espa, he often had to fight. If he didn't, he wouldn't be respected. And if you're not respected, you're nothing."
"You make it sound like he had to struggle to survive, but when he arrived he seemed to be a joyful boy."
"And that's impressive If you consider how he lived. Many slaves are cynical because of that . Anakin has a strong temper; it helped him to survive and make sure nothing happened to his mother.""What could have happened to his mother, apart from being attacked by drunk men and owners ?"
"Rape."
Master Ti wasn't surprised at all.
"It happened all the time."
"And you do nothing against that," the Chosen One said, entering the room.
"The Republic can't face the repercussions such action could have." Master Ti replied.
"The Republic or the Jedi Order ?" snorted the young man.
"Anakin," Master Kenobi said gently. "Do you really think attack Master Ti that way will solve the situation ? And Master Ti, think about what I told you."
The young man had deep sight and shook his head in agreement. The Jedi Master did the same.
"Are all the Masters gathered ?" The young man asked."They are all engaged in battle right now and so impossible to reach."
The young man looked down at the woman and sighed.
"When will they be able to respond ?"
"Tomorrow morning. "
"Well, then good night. I will go back home."
"What do you mean ?" Master Kenobi asked with down-turned eyebrows.
Anakin looked at him. The two masters could see his shame and pride. Only one wondered how he could be proud and ashamed at the same time about the same thing.
"I think congratulations are in order," the human master smiled.Anakin look him square in the eyes.
"You're not disappointed ?"
"Well, I supposed I should be, but I'm not."
"You don't know everything," Anakin sighed.Obi-Wan raised an eyebrow.
"I will explain when we are together. Alone."
"I'll try to come before the meeting."
"Thank you, Master."
"I'm not your Master, Anakin."
"You will always be," the young man retorted. "Good night."
"Good night, Padawan."
" Ex-Padawan," Anakin groaned.Obi-Wan only grinned and then turned to Master Ti.
"Meditate about what I said. It will ease the situation."
The Jedi master shook her head in agreement.
Obi-Wan turned again toward Anakin. "You, behave."
"I always do," he snorted.
"That's why I say that," Obi-Wan chuckled.
The hologram of Obi-Wan disappeared and Master Ti turned toward the Chosen One.
"Well, would you care to explain what you mean by going back home?"
"No, I will explain only when my master know."You're a Jedi."
"So what ? I'm really tired so I going to bed. Good night Master Ti."
The young man bowed respectfully and went away.
Shaak Ti felt that the conversation with the Chosen One's master didn't help the way she wanted, but he had said some interesting things, so she would follow his advice and meditate upon that. She headed toward the meditation room and sat on a the floor. She immerged herself in the Force and sent away her questions to It. The answers she get shocked her deeply.
Obi-Wan had seen many things in Anakin that she didn't. She has always thought that she gave the Chosen One the respect he deserved but If she considered what Master Kenobi said and her behaviour toward the young man, she had been really disrespectful. All those years, the Jedi had told him to show respect but they didn't respect him the way he was used to. How can you respect someone who doesn't respect you? The Chosen One had the behaviour of a real Jedi and it forced respect.
In the same way, he never tried to get rid of his past. He has always been full of emotions and they didn't disappear with time. He was not as neutral as a Jedi should be. He was influenced by his emotions and he would always be. That was the consequences of a childhood n the galaxy. The Jedi were prepared at an early age to be neutral. It was the only way to be just during a confrontation. You couldn't be objective when you're under the control of your emotions. The Jedi Code was right. The Chosen One was wrong. The Jedi were right to not change the Code.
With that thought in mind, she went out of the meditation chamber and headed toward the Infirmary. The Chancellor's body was lying in a bed, covered by a white sheet. Master Bant was focusing on a screen. She finally felt the Jedi Master and bowed.
"How did he die ?" Shaak Ti asked.
"From a heart attack."
"Is it natural ?"
"I examined the body with the Force and it revealed the blood in the heart transported the hormone that cause fear, and in high quantities. So high, that the man had a heart attack," Knight Bant explained in a sombre tone.
"What can be terrifying enough to kill a Sith ?"
"Maybe the same person that is responsible for Master Nu's state."
"How is she by the way ? Did she get any better ?"
"She is dead."
hope you enjoyed! And leave a rewiew. it won't cost you 20,000 credit! ;)
