Its here. I hope this chapter continues to please. There will be a lot of AU in here. Some never ever happened in the star wars universe, so I'm inventing most of it. Thanks for the reviews

Chapter 7

Obi wan was dreaming, a terrifying dream. The Jedi temple was burning, half destroyed. Coruscant looked like a wasteland, a human wasteland. Bodies were strewn across the roads and streets. The smell of blood clogged his nose, and he he stared once more around. Death, death was all around him. Speeder bikes and air taxis alike were crushed and desolate. Their drivers hanging limply over the side, or barely recognizable burnt to a cinder. Burnt flesh mingled with the smell of blood. Obi wan dragged his eyes towards the burning temple. He took a step forward, then a nother and another , until he was running to the door. The once magnificent doors, lay in ruins at his feet, scorch marks showing what had caused it. Stepping inside, aware of the blaze, Obi wan cried out. Bodies littered the grand hall. He walked forward, and tripped over one. He fell forward, landing on top of another. Obi wan stopped still. His body slowly registering the face staring lifeless at him. He threw himself off, snapping his spine straight and standing over the body. "No, no it can't be." But it was, the still form of Ahsoka Tano lay unmoving at his feet. Dropping to his knees again, Obi wan grabbed her body and held her fast. He whispered over and over again in her unhearing ears, how it couldn't be. Moving his eyes downward, he saw her cause of demise. A single cauterized wound, impaled through her mid section. A lightsaber, Obi wan thought horrified. Who would attack the Jedi, who would kill them, it couldn't be Dooku, but who... He noticed for the first time the figure a short distance away. How did he miss him. Obi wan reached for his lightsaber, and found it gone. Standing once more, Obi wan walked to the figure. He couldn't see him. The closer he got to the figure, the more the darkness intensified. The figure had his lightsaber drawn, a blood red blade hummed with death. He was dressed in a black, assassin like robe, that clung to the figure. He wore a cloak, with the hood up. As if sensing Obi wan's approach, the figure turned around, and smiled a wicked sneer. The eyes a sickly yellow/red, filled with hate. Yet it wasn't his appearance that made him scream, but his face. Because staring straight at him, was Obi wan Kenobi.

Obi wan jerked awake, the scream still on his lips. Gasping for air, trying to get the images out of his head, the vicious pounding behind his eyes returned. He just forced a mask of calm onto his face, when Darth Bane entered. "Enjoy the future Kenobi? I put it on for you, you know. You were quite the star in that production. Nonetheless, are you still going deny my offer?" Obi wan stared at Bane. "Never!" Bane sneered. "Very well." He turned and walked out the room. In his place, walked in another Sith. This one, had a deep red cloak, bellowing at his feet. His yellow eyes stared at his target. "This is going to be fun Jedi." Standing in front of Obi wan, the Sith lowered his head. "And who are you supposed to be, another one of Banes lackies?" The Sith's head shot up. "I am not a lackie Jedi. I am Darth Kadyck, you ignorant fool." Bowing his head once more, Kadyck bent his will on Obi wan's mind. Obi wan felt the Sith try and enter his mind. Not a chance. Slamming his shields up as far as his limited force connection allowed him, Kadyck startled. Kadyck increased his control, but stopped abruptly as he felt Kenobi do the same. "Impressive Jedi, however, it won't work." Stepping out of the shadows, two more Sith stood in the middle. "Let us see how handle the three of us." Obi wan bit back a scream as he felt the Sith attack his weakened shields. He desperately fought back the onslaught, but his force ability was drained, he couldn't hold it anymore. His shields shattered. The full force of the Sith entered his mind for a second before they retreated. Gasping, Obi wan watched as the other two left, leaving him with Kadyck. "Let's begin."

"You're a murderer Kenobi, a stone cold killer. And before you speak, I know you will justify yourself some way or another." Kadyck smirked at the Jedi's expression. "I will not deny it Kadyck, I have killed many people and creatures during my life, but that does not make me a murderer." Again, Kadyck just smirked. "Oh but you are. Remember that day, the one where the temple and that pathetic troll were threatened? I think you do." Obi wan narrowed his eyes, pretended to think. "Yes, I think I do. And that troll, would be Master Yoda to you. Do try and have some respect." Kadyck growled, raising his hand. Obi wan braced himself as best he could before Kadyck struck. The blow was astounding. Obi wan found his head snap backwards as the fist connected. Biting back a curse, Obi wan felt blood trickle down the side of his face. Instead, he smiled at the Sith. "Feel better now?" Kadyck was about to strike again, when he stopped. "You're clever Kenobi, but it won't work. There's no stalling the darkside. We'll begin there. You remember Bruck Chun, don't you? Of course you do. Do you remember when you pushed him over the waterfall, killing him?" Obi wan stared blankly. "I did not push him. He fell." Kadyck laughed. "If you say so. You two were always rivals, weren't you? Well, you both competed for Jinns attention. And it was his fault that you almost got kicked out of the order. You must of hated him for that. But he was a child, he also wanted to be a Jedi, but no one wanted him either. Pity, he would've made a good one. But we'll never know will we, such is the penalty for killing one so young." Obi wan lowered his eyes to the floor. "He joined the darkside, it was his downfall. He never would've been a Jedi." Kadyck continued. "I suppose, but had it not been for you, he might've been. It was because of your rivalry that caused him to despise you. Caused him to react out of fear, which, as you know, leads to the darkness. You caused his fall Kenobi, you pushed him to the darkside." Obi wan shook his head, eyes still on the floor. "You're wrong, I did not lead him to the darkside, Xanatos and his anger did. I did not refuse him the light." "So you keep saying. However he fell, out of disappointment and rejection. He turned to the one thing that would accept him, the darkside. You were right, he might not have been a Jedi. But that wasn't enough for you, was it. You didn't want him around at all. So instead of helping him, which you could've, you killed him." Obi wan snapped his head up. "I did not kill him!" Kadyck smiled again. "You fought with him above the rocks, you knew what could happen. He was doing what his Master told him, you would've done the same. You chased him, lightsaber drawn, to the edge of the waterfall. You were armed, he was not. And when he fought back, with rocks, you went in for the kill. He stepped backwards, he slipped." Obi wan stared daggers at Kadyck, his expression pained and angry. The memory of Bruck seemed fresh and raw. He knew he didn't kill Bruck, he knew what had happened. But Kadycks words still hit the throbbing wound. It hurt, stronger than the first memories. Bruck could've been a Jedi, there could've been hope for him. "No! He attacked me. My ligtsaber was deactivated at my side. Bruck fought for himself but not because I forced him to. He slipped on the rocks, I never advanced until he fell." Kadyck grinned viciously. "Ah, defending your actions. How, unJedi like. But he fell, and you watched him die. Do you remember what his face looked like, full of terror while he plummeted towards his death. His eyes wide with fear, the eyes of a child. Do you remember the sound he made, when his body smacked into the rockface." Kadyck slapped his hands together, making Obi wan wince at the familiar sound. "His body bouncing on contact and lying still at the bottom. His neck broken, head lying at an odd angle. Eyes staring upwards, so empty, so dead. Tell me Kenobi, do you ever regret ending his life?" Obi wan had dropped his gaze back to the floor. "I didn't kill him he slipped. I tried to catch him, I really did. But he didn't hold on, he didn't accept my help. There was nothing I could do." Kadyck looked at Obi wan. The Jedi looked beaten, sorrowful actually. He decided that it was enough. He reached into his robe and pulled out a small needle. He walked up to Obi wan and whispered in his ear. "Later Jedi, we continue. You will fall, I promise." Stabbing the needle into Obi wan's neck, Kadyck watched as the Jedi fell into unconciousness. He smiled at the still form, turned around and walked out the room. Leaving Obi wan to his torturous memories.
