Chapter 4
I'm warning you guys, this story might possibly be short, but this is not certain though. If you guys have any suggestions for this story, I'd be happy to hear.
If you read Resurrection of the Father, then you'll find reasons to why Obi-Wan took Adenan as his apprentice in that story in this chapter.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Master, and the Holonet's supposed 'The Negotiator', came out of hyperspace to the planet he knew from when he was born, Coruscant, the home of the Republic.
The first thing that he noticed was that Anakin couldn't be sensed on Coruscant, and Obi-Wan feared the worst. He hoped nothing bad happened to Anakin.
He flew into atmosphere and was greeted by many speeders and ship travelling across the sky. Obi-Wan went more down and found the old Senate Building, the Senate Rotunda and the Jedi Temple on the metallic surface. Obi-Wan sped to the Jedi Temple, though not as fast as Anakin would. Obi-Wan quickly landed on the landing pad, and Mace Windu came towards him.
"Master Windu" Obi-Wan politely greeted, and then bowed in respect for the Korun Jedi Master
"Master Kenobi, I hoped you wouldn't come at this time" Mace softly told Obi-Wan in a dire tone, which sent Obi-Wan horror
"What happened?" Obi-Wan asked, concerned for his brother, Anakin
"Anakin has run away from the temple, with one Padawan Kornen" Mace responded, keeping his stoic face
"Padawan Kornen, wasn't he the Padawan that you requested me to take, but I rejected because I thought Anakin still needed support from me after Mortis?" Obi-Wan asked, a bit sharply
"Yes, though you could've taken him, Kornen has evolved into a maverick by becoming a Masterless Padawan, Kornen did not follow the Code at all in the later days, and that extended to some" Mace told Obi-Wan, raising his eyebrows
"Who?" Obi-Wan asked, fearful of the situation
"His friend, Padawan Sheekano and Master Chi" Mace calmly answered, and Obi-Wan recognised those names, in the recent council meetings, Master Chi defended Adenan's statements about the code needing change, and Adenan amassing possessions within his quarters.
During those Council meetings Mace had told Adenan that he was too attached to his friends, mainly Padawan Sheekano and the Princess of the planet of Chameta, Princess Da'atarka.
Master Chi had also unofficially taken Kornen as his Padawan, at the same time as training Faro, which gave more pressure to Traditionalist Jedi, mainly Mace Windu.
Obi-Wan thought about these events, and wondered what would happen if he did take Kornen and moulded him into a respectable Padawan who did not cause flares of opinion pertaining the Jedi Code.
But most of Adenan's strength had come from attachments, that had been proven, Obi-Wan also sensed no hate with Adenan's aura, which confused him very much. Obi-Wan didn't pay attention to where he was going, so he bumped into a certain Pantoran who was also thinking about Adenan.
Both looked at each other for a moment, studying the other. The Pantoran had white hair, which was short and cropped military style, he was wearing white Jedi Robes, Obi-Wan immediately recognised him.
"Master Kenobi" The Pantoran, Master Chi, greeted, and bowed
"I was wondering about Padawan Kornen" Obi-Wan sternly stated, gazing inquisitively at Master Chi
"Yes… my Padawan's best friend. What about him?" Master Chi asked, interested in the conversation
"Did you mould him into what he is?" Obi-Wan asked, still stern
"You mean his maverick ways, no, that was all himself, and frankly, I'm proud of him. He did something that I couldn't" Master Chi told Obi-Wan, a blonde Jedi briefly looked at the two, and moved along
"What was that?" Obi-Wan asked, a bit confused
"Attachment. He condoned attachment, he taught me attachment, everyone he touched learnt attachment, the true meaning of love." Master Chi answered, in a tone that sounded like a teaching tone, pointing slightly at Obi-Wan then returning to standing still
"How so? Attachment leads one to the Dark Side!" Obi-Wan put his hands on his hips and frowned
"No. That is not attachment, that is jealousy, anger, hatred, attachment can lead to these dark properties, yes. But attachment can also be love, the light, cure those who are alone, bring about a small speck of light that can flare the darkness. Face it Obi-Wan, love can ignite the stars" Master Chi said, and walked away to where he wanted to go, leaving Obi-Wan to think about the Jedi Code, and all the opinions he heard about it.
In Naboo, Anakin Skywalker was drinking a glass of water, when he sensed something falter in the force, like a ripple on lake, caused by a measly rock thrown, the ripple then disappeared, just like one on a lake would.
Anakin had been sensing these ripples with whatever he did, or anyone did. He knew something had been done, but he didn't know what. Anakin frowned, he hated it when he didn't get all the info.
Adenan and Dormé had already prepared the Nubian ship. Adenan smiled, as he ran his fingers across one of the stands of the ship, wondering what his Jedi Starfighter would look like with the same chrome that was coated on the ship.
Dormé then pulled out a remote, and pulled down the ramp. Adenan moved away slowly as the ramp came down.
"Provisions, check!" Adenan then looked at his belt and saw both of his lightsabers. One rainbow coloured short lightsaber and his normal orange lightsaber. He then saw Dormé carry a blaster on her hip, then he raised his arm slightly and exclaimed "Weapons, checked and charged!", Dormé smiled at that
"What planets do you suggest?" She asked, raising an eyebrow
"I don't know, but I know that I'll be using a Republic Planet that I'm a hero at, Chameta, as the last resort" Adenan answered
"Chameta?" Dormé asked, unfamiliar with the name
"A nature planet with a lot of forests, just like how Naboo has a lot of water. I have a friend there, Bethrona, who's Princess of the planet." Adenan answered, walking up the ramp, Dormé quickly followed Adenan.
Both of them got on and the ship flew once again. Little did they know, that with their absence let a falter in security, one that was not noticed by the couple that were hiding in the planet.
Mace Windu was one of them who were determined to find the couple, as he organised the search anyway. Obi-Wan looked with a solemn face as he saw Mace Windu and Ki-Adi Mundi leave.
He didn't know what to think. But he did know, that after Satine's death, he would never be able to get attached again, but he did know that attachments before that death would survive, and because of that attachment, he hoped that Anakin would stay safe.
That's when Shaak Ti came into the room, and widened her eyes at seeing Obi-Wan, she then calmed herself and bowed respectfully.
"Master Kenobi" Shaak calmly greeted, and straightened
"Master Ti, what was your vote on finding Anakin and Adenan?" Obi-Wan asked, concern lacing in his voice
"I voted not to find them, but I was outnumbered" Shaak answered in her normal, calm tone
"If I knew, I would have never left for Utapau" Obi-Wan growled bitterly
"You cannot change the past, Obi-Wan, but you can make choices for the future" Shaak told Obi-Wan, then asked "What do you want, for the two?"
"I don't know" Obi-Wan breathed, and decided to leave the room, leaving Shaak alone, as she saw two Jedi Starfighters began going outside the atmosphere of Coruscant.
Anakin and Padmé are now in big trouble! What will happen? Wait for the next chapter to find out! NEXT CHAPTER: THE CODE CORRUPTION
