Enjoy and leave a review!
All the Masters seated, under the vigilant crowd gaze. Padawan Ahsoka Tano and Kuja Gent sat down at their reserved seat. The senator family arrived and sat down. They arrived. Master Ki-Adi-Mundi wait that the crowd quieted down completly and spoke softly.
" Mr and Miss Naberie, I present the concern of the Jedi Council for the loss of your daughter.
" Thank you Master Jedi." Ruwee replied.
" Engineer Gent, Padawan Tano, find any evidence did you ? "
" Yes, we did Master Yoda." the teenage girl answered.
She sent a knowing look to Gent, who nodded. The hologram came to life.
" No, Anakin! I don't want your children to call me Uncle Bibi ! Obi-wan Kenobi replied, annoyed.
" Why ? It's really cute! " Anakin retorted.
" No, it's not! It's stupid!"
" From two years old children, it's cute ! "
" I don't care! I don't want to be called like that."
" What about Uncle Ben ?" Padmé asked, smiling." It's both cute and not stupid."
The two former Jedi looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Padmé smile became larger and she went in the ship. Master Ti appeared.
" Master Ti." Obi-Wan nodded politely, as always.
" Master Kenobi, Skywalker."
" I'm not a Jedi Master anymore." Kenobi replied softly.
" You will always be a Master for us."
" Us means ?" Skywalker asked.
" The Jedi Council."
" What do you want ?" the younger human asked, deeply annoyed.
" I want you to come back to the Order."
" You ?" Kenobi asked.
" Both of you."
Anakin raised an eyebrow and studied her.
" Why? " Kenobi asked.
" We need you."
" For what ?" Kenobi asked again.
" The Galaxy has just won a war. It can't support any shattered point."
" Sure it can! It's the Order who can't." Skywalker snorted.
" What do you mean ?" Shaak Ti snapped.
" If I take my lightsaber and march down the Temple, intending to kill every single Jedi, no one will survive." Skywalker replied.
" Because we're blind by the Code and everything ? I'm positive the Jedi Code is right. Besides, the Temple is very well guarded."
" Wanna try it ? " Skywalker smiled.
" Anakin, stop it." Kenobi ordered.
The younger human sight and made a wave with the hand. Master Ti looked sternly at him.
" You won't change your mind, will you ?"
" No."
" Neither will I." Kenobi added.
" I'm disappointed." Master Ti let out after a moment.
" I don't really care." Anakin replied, annoyed again. " But I do care being late to my step-mother lunch. She is a really good cook and I have to apologize to her."
" What for ?" the togrutan blinked.
" For not succeeding to convince her daughter to let her know that we married and that she's going to be a grand-mother."
" Why didn't you tell her? "
" Maybe because I wasn't allowed to be married! "
" Anakin, how many time will I have to remind you that It's my family and that I choose what to tell them and how ?" Padmé Amidalla replied.
" Padmé, how many time will I have to tell you that I, and not you, will be the one your father will castrate? "
" We agreed! I let you deal with Obi-Wan, you let me deal with my family."
" Fine! You won! Why are you smiling like that !" Anakin snapped to Master Ti.
Her smile was the one on the first recording.
" I thought about your rebellious teenage teens in some years."
" If I feel the need, I will send them to you." Anakin replied.
Shaak Ti laughed softly.
" I don't get what the joke is." Anakin said, serious.
The human and the Jedi stared at each other.
" I hate to be rude Master Ti," Padmé intervened, " but we really need to go. I'm glad that you met us just before we go."
" May the Force be with you Master Ti " Kenobi politely bowed.
Padmé went into the ship after a last smile to the Jedi. Anakin just nodded at the togrutan and watch her go.
" Master, did you notice that someone made nasty things to our hyperdrive while we were discussing with her ? "
" I'm not your master anymore Anakin."
" It doesn't answer my question."
" You will be the death of me Anakin."
With that, they climb up in the ship, and two minutes later, they took off.
The hologram faded. No one in the crowd said a thing.
" It solve a lot of things." Master Fisto said after a while.
" Free of charge, you are, Master Ti." Master Yoda said with a soft smile.
" The inquest must continue ! " someone shouted.
" Don't worry, we will take care of everything." Master Mundi assured;
" We don't want any Jedi in that matter." The twi'lek of the day before shouted.
" Why ? Master Ti is innocent!" replied the master.
" She is. Who said some other Jedi is not ?"
" Yeah! No Jedi! " a Bith woman shouted.
The crowd started to get angry and agitated.
"Calm down every one !" Master Mundi asked. " Please, explain yourself, sir."
" We don't want any Jedi in that affair. No one! "
" Why? I don't understand ?"
" You don't ? Look what you've done to Skywalker ! He was forced to live in a lie for three years! He fights for the Republic, for freedom, for you! How did you rewarded him ? He was forced to hide his marriage, his love, his life! I'm positive that he was such a good fighter because he had to return for something ! Why would you fight for something you don't care about ? "
" We care for the Republic and it's people! " Master Rancisis argued.
" There's no emotion, there is peace Jedi! Have you forgot ? You don't care of us ! You only care about your Code and you hide it behind your « will of the Force » !You don't want us? Good! Because we don't want you ! "
" Yeah,! We don't want you Jedi ! " the crowd shouted, in various language.
People started to insult the Jedi, some even throw their datapad to them. The Jedi avoid them easily. The inevitable fight started, the Jedi versus the people they swore to protect.
" Please stop ! " Ahsoka, Master Muln, Master Vos, Master Bant , Master Secura and Kuja cried in the same time, knowing that ignited lightsabers will not do anything.
Only seven people heard them.
Confused ? Good! That's exactly what I wanted! All will be explained in the next chapter! :)
