Chapter 5 Obi, Jaina and nominees for the Chancellorship.
"I never knew I had any siblings" Master Obi Wan Kenobi still could not believe that he had a relative in the temple. The girl bore a huge resemblance to him.
"Well, I was brought to the Temple about ten years ago. When I was a child I figured out that I was your relative since we both had the same last name. I asked Master Yoda and he told me that you are my Uncle."
The Jedi group was soon called by the Jedi Council since they were about to be given a mission. Jaina was very excited since it would be her first time to get off planet and she would most definitely enjoy her time with two heroes of the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. The Jedi soon arrived to the Chambers.
"We decided to give you a new mission, Skywalker. You will go to Count Dooku's home on Serenno and make a treaty with him. Given the recent events I doubt he will not pass that opportunity"
"Thank you, Master Windu. I would like to tell something. Today I decided to take on another apprentice who is this girl, Jaina Yan Kenobi"
The Jedi looked suspicious at eachother and then looked at Obi Wan and the girl. Most of them were quite surprised that the Negotiator had a younger relative living in the Temple.
"Brought her to the Temple I did. Once on Correlia I have been and found a family with a Force sensitive child. Learned I did that she was a niece of Master Obi Wan."
"I did not know that I had a niece in the Temple" Obi Wan protested
"Told you I did not since unwise you were back then. Matured you did a lot but forgot I did to tell you. Apology I do"
"So, back to where I was. I would like to take her as my second apprentice."
The Council members talked to eachother and eventually agreed that Anakin could take another Padawan. Anakin was pretty happy since he already seemed to bond with the girl in the cafeteria.
"Skywalker, you and Knight Tano as well as your apprentice will go to make a treaty with Count Dooku. May the Force be with you"
Anakin, Ahsoka and Jaina left the room and soon boarded the Resolute. The clones quickly noticed that another Jedi joined them and were quite curious on who she was. Captain Rex decided to find out and went to talk to the General.
"General Skywalker, we are all glad to see that we are going to another mission. The clones have a question, who is the new kid Jedi? I have never seen here before"
"She is my new Padawan learner. Ahsoka Tano recently became a Jedi Knight and I took another apprentice. Her name is Jaina Yan Kenobi"
"Kenobi? She is related to the General?"
"Yes she is his niece."
"The General never told me before."
"My former Master learned that he had a niece only today. Anyway, please tell Admiral Yalaren that we are going to Serenno."
"Sir, isn't it the home base of Count Dooku"
"It is and that is the precise reason why we are heading there"
Captain Rex left the group and they sat in a room. The apprentice did not say a word since she came to the ship and Ahsoka was worried about her new friend.
"Is everything all right Jaina?"
"Yes, I am just meditating. I find it comforting to sit in silence thinking about peaceful things."
"Well, that does not seem like a lot of fun. Tell me, have you ever hanged out with anyone?"
"Unfortunately no since most Jedi did not seem to like me. I always was a peaceful girl and that made other younglings not want to socialize with me. Over time, I developed even quieter personality and enjoyed meditating while everybody else were having fun"
"This does not sound very good. Do not worry, we will fix that. And Jaina, you can always count on me."
"Thank you Knight Tano"
"Please call me Ahsoka"
"Thank Ahsoka. You seem to be a very nice person. I have not seen many people being very kind to me except Jedi Masters and especially Master Yoda."
"Well, you will get more friends"
Resolute jumped out of hyperspace and the ship was now located near Serenno. Anakin took a shuttle and the three Jedi flew towards the surface of the planet. Count Dooku was informed that he was supposed to have guests and he waited on the balcony of his estate. The Jedi soon arrived to his residence.
"Greetings Jedi, I see you came to my planet with no ill intentions"
"As a matter of fact, yes. We came here to make a treaty with Separatists to end this meaningless war"
Anakin looked at the former Jedi and saw that he was thinking. Master Skywalker did not sense that Dooku had a trap for them, after all, Skywalker's reputation went ahead of him and Dooku also learned that his Master was killed; being an intelligent man he did not want to kill Skywalker.
"I agree with treaty. However, I would like that all charges against me would be dropped"
"Agreed"
It seemed that the war has finally ended. Count Dooku contacted the Separatist Council to cease fire and stop the war. The plan worked but only partially. Some Separatists did not agree to Dooku's orders and continued fighting, others went along with Dooku. But, at least the scale of the war has diminished since many Separatist systems were now in Republic again.
Anakin sensed that there was another Force sensitive in the building. He looked up and saw Ventress. The Sith wannabe jumped in front of him and activated her lightsabers.
"Patience, Ventress, the war has ended. We are now a part of Republic again."
Asajj was very surprised. Never in her life had she expected to hear that, especially from Dooku. She reluctantly accepted since Dooku was her Master. The group, which got bigger, now, traveled to Coruscant. Onboard of Resolute, Asajj Ventress saw her former enemy, Ahsoka Tano.
"Well, Skywalker's little pet arrived"
"Asajj, I came here for two reasons. As my former Master suggested, I would like to restart what was between us and become your friend. Also, I heard that my Master is now making a sub division of Jedi who will be trained in some aspects of the Dark Side for his future plans. I thought that you should join his group, since you already know how to use the Dark Side."
"I will think about that"
Later, when three Jedi, a sith and a Dark Jedi arrived to Coruscant they separated and went different ways. Dooku went to the Senate to use his oratory skills, Ventress went to pass the Trials and the Jedi went to see the Council.
"Performed well, you have. Sense I do that the war will end very soon"
"Another announcement we would like to make. We heard that Count Dooku got nominated by the Senate as one of the people who will become the next Chancellor. Padme Amidala Skywalker is another nominee. We think that it will be very difficult for her to stand against Dooku."
"Masters, an idea I have. Why not we nominate a Jedi as well? That would lower Dooku's chances. I know that we did not have Jedi Senators or Chancellors for a very long time but I believe it would be a good move now"
"And whom would you like to be that Jedi?" Mace Windu was very curious about Anakin's latest idea
"I nominate Master Obi Wan Kenobi for the Chancellorship over the Republic."
The Council went silent.
