Chapter 6 The Chancellor

"Anakin, you must be joking" Obi Wan could not believe on what he just heard. His former apprentoice wanted him to be a Chancellor. That was just too much for Obi Wan.

"I am not. I think that you are the best for the job" Obi Wan got silent and the Council looked at him.

"An interesting suggestion did young Skywalker bring. What do you think, Masters?"

"Like it I do although strange it is"

"I am for it"

Soon most of the Council members agreed on Anakin's idea and the two Jedi went to the Senate to make a nomination. Mas Ameda asked them on how Obi Wan got a nomination.

"I nominated him to be a Chancellor"

"Farewell, you will be one of the three nominees then. I suggest you go and campaign"

That Obi Wan was not very willing to do. However, Anakin, Ahsoka and Jaina all agreed that they could help him. The three Jedi made many posters toured around the Coruscant and talked to Senators. A month has passed and the Senators voted.

Obi Wan sat in a pod, which was made for Jedi representatives in the Senate and sat quietly together with his fellow Jedi friends. To support him came Siri, Sateen, Luminara, Anakin, Ahsoka, Jaina and the whole Council.

The vote has been made and people looked at the results. Obi Wan looked and saw that Padme got thirty two point five percent. Dooku received thirty three point five percent and Obi Wan received thirty four percent. The Jedi could not believe what they saw but they were relieved. They knew that Obi Wan would not do anything crazy. He would be a good Chancellor.

Meanwhile somewhere in the Galaxy, a large fleet of ships has assembled. The ships were not regularly build, they were living beings and their crew was the aliens called Yuuzhan Vong. Capital ships were twice as large as Malevolence and hosted very many skilled warriors. They enjoyed the pain and one of their favorite things was war. They made many vivisections, cut their skin and did horrible things to their skin and body to make them stronger. It seemed as if they were the non Force Sensitive equivalent of Sith.

What made the matters worse, even Darth Sidious's power did not look very strong since the invaders loved the whole concept of pain and were Force Immune. Their current ruler was undefeated in every single type of combat and he slay many of his enemies. People who spoke Basic called him Pain Incarnate. He could himself rival Darth Sidious in how sadistic he was to all of his victims which he defeated in battles.

In the Senate the Jedi and Obi Wan's supporters were cheering. It was clear for Obi Wan that he had a lot to work on since Darth Sidious clearly messed up many things. He was very tired and decided to throw a party in the Temple with his friends. Plus he finally decided to choose whom he actually loved since it was clear by now that he had at some point four love interests. That would be hard for him and he knew that. "I need to get advice from Anakin" he thought and left to see his former student.

Anakin was chatting with Senators and some Jedi when he saw his former Master approaching him. He excused himself and went to talk to Obi Wan.

"And here comes the hero of the day"

"Anakin, please you make me feel uncomfortable. I don't like neither Politics nor Social gatherings"

"But know you will need to do that. Plus, Obi Wan, you know that you are still the Supreme Chancellor of the Clone Army and that the War has not ended yet"

"I really wanted for you not saying that"

"Anakin, I wanted advice. I would like to finally settle with one of my good lady friends but I don't know whom I need to choose. I liked Siri Tachi when we were padawans and we almost quit the order; I liked Luminara briefly for a year or two and also I like Duchess Satine of Mandalore. That, and sometimes I felt something towards Ventress too."

"That is a lot of adventures here. My suggestion for you would be to choose the one without whom you could not really live and the one you can spend your entire life with"

Obi Wan thought for a moment. Siri Tachi, the first girl he had big feelings for. They worked well together under Qui Gon and Adi Gallia when they went to missions together. Luminara was a newer Jedi interest and Obi Wan really liked to spend time with her, especially when Barriss was out with Ahsoka sparring. Duchess Sateen was his love interest for quite some time after Obi Wan became a Jedi Knight. He visited her on some occasions but then they decided that it would be best for them to do what they need to do. And the last one was Ventress, who seemed to like Obi Wan despite constant desire to destroy him. Obi Wan finally reached a conclusion and then went to tell that person that he wanted to marry her.
