What If
Author: LVB
Summary: AU. Obi-Wan's turned. Can Anakin destroy him in time?
Disclaimer: George Lucas owns everything Star Wars.
The Sith cloud the future. The shroud of the dark side has fallen; and no matter how hard I try, an eerie sense of foreboding follows me around.
I was his Padawan…and all that time, I had no idea.
Not a clue.
My Master was an expert at following the rules – I was the renegade one. I was the rule breaker.
I was the Chosen One.
Yet I don't understand how the Darkside claimed him…and not me. The simple act of persuasion was enough to sway a Jedi Knight.
All the Sith had to say was join me. And he fell.
I cannot begin to understand how these events came to pass. My mentor, my friend is now gone. In his place stands a heartless monster. He betrayed us and nearly destroyed the Jedi.
Darth Kenobi.
He killed Dooku and took his place in the Sith Order.
I look briefly at my wife, Padme.
And for a fleeting moment, I understand.
Obi-Wan never got to love. When a fork in the road arose for my Master, he looked back down and saw a life of loneliness and sadness. It wasn't a life at all.
He decided to follow the Sith.
My former Master must be destroyed.
I became a Knight after Geonosis - after my Master turned to the Darkside. For three long years I have fought hard. The time has now come to face my Master.
I have to destroy him.
But what if I can't?
