Chapter 3
The binary suns of Tatooine were just setting, the darkness of the abandoned hut deepened but Obi-Wan Kenobi took no notice, his thoughts were else where. How long would it take the Jedi to hunt him down was the over bearing question that had not left him since he had found this place.
"Obi-Wan." the familiar voice jerked him out of his thoughts.
It couldn't be yet there was Anakin as a vision of the force right in front of him.
"Obi-Wan," he started again. "You should not be waiting around for them to come and kill you."
"What so I should go to them and say I'm ready, just kill me" Obi-Wan said sarcastically. "No I think you should go and fix what you did. You are sorry for what you did and I know you are. So all you need to do is ask their forgiveness."
"Oh, and you think they are going to give me that?"
"Obi-Wan," Anakin warned.
"Ok, I'll try" Obi-Wan finely agreed.
"It's Do or Do not, there is no Try" Anakin reminded him.
"Ok I'll do it" Obi-Wan said accepting the reminder.
"Oh, and Obi-Wan one more thing before I go."
"Yes?"
"Would you do me a favor?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Kill General Grievous and Count Dooku."
"WHAT!" Obi-Wan exclaimed.
"Hey you already said you would do it" Anakin said with a grin.
"Next time you ask for a favor I'll remember to ask what it is before I agree to it. How am I supposed to find them?"
"Watch HoloNet, look all over the galaxy you'll find them" and with that he was gone.
Where in the galaxy was he going to find them? Anakin's suggestions weren't that good. Maybe the one about HoloNet would work? Well he could at lest try it anyway.
He wasn't happy about what he had agreed to do, but then it had been Anakin who had asked him and if there was anything he could do to make it up to Anakin he would do it or die trying.
3 months later
Mace Windu stood on the landing pad with Yoda.
"May the Force be with you" Yoda said.
"And with you" Mace replied.
He climbed into his ship and took off to meet up with his clone trooper battalion in the atmosphere above Coruscant.
They had found out where General Grievous was and some how he was the one chosen to kill him.
So here he was on his way to Utapad, Where General Grievous awaited him.
Obi-Wan Kenobi felt like he had been all over the galaxy tracking General Grievous the last three months. Unfortunately Grievous always had been one step ahead of him. For the moment he was on Utapad, Obi-Wan hoped that is time he would get there in time to kill him.
Of course he had hoped that on the last twenty-seven planets he had been to, in pursuit of the General. All he could really do was just go there and find out.
Obi-Wan had no way of telling Grievous to wait up for him and if he could he doubted the General would wait for him anyway.
Some time later
"I'll come as soon as I'm done with Grievous" Mace Windu informed Commander Ponds.
"You can take as long as you need sir. We'll hold out sir, and will try to leave you some droids"
"I'm sure you will try"
Ponds had never heard General Windu be so sarcastic before.
Mace jumped on a speeder bike to go in search of Grievous. Upon finding him at his private landing dock he was far from expecting to see what met his eyes; he got there just in time to hear Grievous snarl at Obi-Wan Kenobi?
"Do you think I am foolish enough to arm my bodyguards with weapons that can actually hurt me?"
Obi-Wan was here fighting General Grievous it made no sense. What was he doing? And where was his lightsaber?
Grievous had not waited for Obi-Wan to answer instead he spun, heaving Obi-Wan up off the deck bringing him up over his head then slamming him to the deck with killing power.
Mace watched as Obi-Wan went into a stumbling roll. Grievous picked up the electrostaff that Obi-Wan had let fall and sprang after him slamming the electrostaff into him before Obi-Wan could regain his balance.
Grievous kept right with him slamming it into him again and again. When Grievous spun the staff overhand, discharge blade sizzling down at Obi-Wan for the killing blow. Mace watched in surprise as Obi-Wan came chest-to chest with Grievous well his upraised hand blocked the General's wrist.
Grievous snarled something Mace could not hear. General Grievous put his full weight on the sizzling blade brining it close to Obi-Wan's face Grievous's arm bent. Obi-Wan must be using the force to give his arm strength there was no other way for that to happen. Mace thought.
Then Grievous's what? Brought Mace's attention back to what was happening in front of him. Obi-Wan pulled as hard as he could on the stomach plate pulling it lose. Grievous shrieked dropping the staff he grabbed Obi-Wan and threw him across the landing deck.
Mace noted that Obi-Wan just barely grabbed on to the edge of the deck. Grievous picked up the staff and charged, and all Obi-Wan did was extend his hand to a blaster resting on the deck which flew into Obi-Wan's grasp and he fired twice at where the stomach plate had been pulling away only a moment before
General Grievous was dead and now Mace had to decide what to do.
"So uncivilized" Obi-Wan exclaimed tossing the blaster away; while he did so he saw Master Windu for the first time. His face went from relaxed and pleased to unreadable in an instance.
Surely Obi-Wan would kill him now that he knew he was here.
