Disclaimer: See Chapter I

Dedicate this chapter to the following Padawans (whether consider themselves Padawans, or not ^_^):

Estelle Took {Glad, I am, that like it, you do. Addicted to PotC, I am.}

JRTIsCrunkness23 {On the Council, I am. In my pocket, they are. Dense, all of the past Jedi are. Have figured out only Bant and Obi-Wan.}

ewan's girl {Try to make chapters longer, I will. But hard it sometimes is.}

Skwinnie {Hate cliffhangers, I do as well. Torturing you, I enjoy. Love me, you do! Love me, you really do!

Jedi Nifet {Padawan Learner to me you will always be. Remember, I can, when in diapers, you were. ^_^}

Ciara {Full of questions you are. Some answers you will find in this chapter, if look hard enough, you do.}

A/N: I know I told some of you this would be out by Wednesday night. I'm sorry, but I got sick. I would also like to say that I have figured out how old the older Obi-Wan is in this time period. He is 28. I would also like to warn you that there are going to be spoilers for JA Special Edition 2 The Followers.

Chapter VI

Qui-Gon's voice when he spoke the Jedi's name was barely a whisper. Only Obi-Wan was able to hear him. Obi-Wan wasn't surprised in the least when Qui-Gon figured out his identity.

"And the Council thought that you wouldn't be able to figure out anything on your own. I suppose you can take a guess at who the other two are, it is rather obvious," he whispered so that only Qui-Gon could hear.

"Garen and Reeft," Qui-Gon whispered back. "Why won't you tell us what's going on? Surely the Council is not the only reason."

"It's complicated. Let's leave it at that."

"I still don't think you were challenged enough," Siri voice broke through their whisperings. "It probably would have been better if you didn't know his fighting style so well."

"And how does he know it so?" Adi asked.

"I can answer that," Qui-Gon said, but before he got a chance he was interrupted by a female Twi'lek Padawan entering the gym and coming up to them.

"Excuse, but Master Kenobi, the Council wishes to see you. They say it's urgent," she stated.

"Did they mention what it was about?" Obi-Wan said, wondering what was more important than protecting the past and hoping that it wasn't about them dropping subtle hints to the past.

"They just said that it had something to do with Kodai," the Padawan said, bowed, and left.

Obi-Wan knew immediately what they what they wished to speak to him about. 'The Sith Holocron.' The moons of Kodai would soon be in synchronous orbit, resulting in an amazingly low tide on the flooded planet, which meant that it was the perfect opportunity to retrieve the ancient Sith relic from the bottom of the massive ocean. 'Sidious is sure to have all of his followers out looking for it.'

"Well, Siri, you said I needed to be challenged. Now, if you will excuse me, the Council awaits," he stated, then left.

Ever since the Padawan had called the Jedi by name, the past, except for Qui-Gon, had listened in stunned silence. Obi-Wan was especially shocked to hear that this mysterious and powerful Jedi that had beaten his master in their fight was really himself of the future. He also wanted answers. He wanted to know what was going on and how his master had fallen.

//Master?//

//Yes, Obi-Wan?//

//How is it possible that that is me? I don't have that much power.//

Qui-Gon looked at his apprentice and gave him a reassuring smile. //Obi-Wan, you have yet to understand the power you possess.// They were broken out of their silent conversation by Mace's voice.

"What did the Council wish to speak to him about? He seemed to understand everything just by hearing the name of the planet. I don't believe I've ever heard anything about it."

Jocasta Nu, the Jedi Archivist of the past, spoke up. "I seem to vaguely recall a few facts about Kodai. I remember something about a massive sea swelling and some rumor, but I can't remember what the rumor was about."

"I know," Bant [future] said. "And it's definitely not good."

When Obi-Wan arrived at the Council room, only Yoda was there. He bowed respectfully.

"Obi-Wan, know you do, why summoned you we have?" Yoda asked.

"Yes, Master."

"Go to Kodai you will, along with Master Windu. Feel confident I do, that do it alone you could, but unthinkable it is to risk your death," the diminutive master explained. "Know the Sith do, that if kill you they do, rise up to power within their Dark Order they will. Exercise caution, the both of you must. Leave in half an hour, your transport will. Ready yourself. Inform your friends, Master Windu will, of the change of plans. May the Force be with you."

Obi-Wan bowed and left.

Before Bant had a chance to explain her statement, Master Windu walked into the gym.

"There has been a change of plans. Siri, you are now apart of the team assigned to protect the past since Obi-Wan will not be able to any longer," he announced.

"Where is he going?" Garen asked.

"He is going, along with myself, to Kodai," Windu answered.

"What's so important there that is more of a priority than keeping the past safe?" Siri asked.

"A certain artifact must be kept from certain people. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a transport to catch," and with that, he was gone.

"What artifact was he talking about?" Reeft asked, completely bewildered.

"The Sith Holocron," Bant stated.
