We're Wizards, Not Warriors: What If

Volume 7:

Chapter 3: Trouble Brewing….

One month later….

On Tatooine.

A ship flies over the town.

An Imperial ship….

The people down below looked scared as they knew who that ship belonged to.

The Inquisitors.

The strong arms of the Emperor.

The ship then lands down and the ramp opens.

Out came several Inquisitors.

The one leading the other two Inquisitors was the Grand Inquisitors.

He had pale skin, black and yellow eyes, and red facial markings.

The other two Inquisitors were the Fifth Brother and the Third Sister.

The air was tense.

They walked across the town and all the townspeople stayed clear from their path.

The Inquisitors then arrived at what appeared to be a bar.

The bartender gulped in fear.

The Grand Inquisitor then approached the Bartender.

"You know who we are", the Grand Inquisitor asked.

"Inquisitors", the Bartender said.

The Grand Inquisitor said, "and you know why we are here?"

"To hunt a Jedi", the Bartender gulped.

The Grand Inquisitor nodded as everyone in the bar glanced around fearfully.

"In actuality, I would say the Jedi hunt themselves", the Grand Inquisitor said as he circled around the bar, "do you know the key to hunting a Jedi? It is patience. Jedi cannot help what they are. Their compassion leaves an example, in our line of work, rumors run rampant."

The Bartender was still feeling scared and nervous.

"Here's one I heard, that involves a Jedi hiding right here in your lovely saloon. Let's say ours is a wanderer. He's looking for people like him. He comes across this establishment", the Grand Inquisitor said as he walked back to the Bartender, "nice place. And then he sees you. A man in need. Perhaps the locals are stealing from you. Threatening you."

The Bartender clenches his fist a little.

"So what is the Jedi to do? Help you and risk exposure? Or move on? Now, if he were smart, he'd keep moving, but the Jedi Code is like an itch", the Grand Inquisitor said as he walked back to the other Inquisitors, "he cannot help it. So he steps in and saves your saloon. You offer him a place to hide. Fresh water, shade from the suns, but the stories…. They begin and they travel quickly. His compassion has been his undoing."

The third sister throws a knife at the Bartender, but the knife stops mere inches from his face!

Everyone turns to see a young man using the force to stop the blade. He is a Jedi! He's been caught red handed!

The young man then attempts to flee, but the Third Sister blocks his path as she activates her lightsaber.

"Prepare him for interrogation", the Grand Inquisitor said.

"You're wasting your time, you know that, right? You'll never find us all", the young man said.

The Third sister attempts to kill the Jedi, but the Grand Inquisitor stops her and she is force pushed off to the side, allowing for the Jedi to escape.

She growled as she was about to run after him.

The Grand Inquisitor stopped the Third Sister from chasing the Jedi, as the Fifth brother went after them instead.

The Grand Inquisitor glared fiercely into the Third Sister's eyes.

"You are reckless", the Grand Inquisitor said.

The Third Sister asked, "why chase after Scraps?"

"Scraps are all we have left", the Grand Inquisitor said.

"Then we should be hunting bigger prey", the Third Sister said with a smirk on her face.

"He is not yours to find. We are past this, Third Sister", the Grand Inquisitor said, "I will not warn you again. You will forget this fixation with Kenobi, or I will relieve you of your duties. Is that clear?"

The Third sister sighed, "yes, Grand Inquisitor."

The Grand Inquisitor walked away.

"Consider him forgotten", the Third Sister said.

The Third Sister clearly wasn't gonna let this go….

….

Elsewhere….

We see several workers, including Obi-Wan Kenobi, wrapping up their work day carving up flesh from the remains of a sand whale.

Obi Wan glanced around as he discretely pocketed some meat.

Obi Wan and the rest of the workers then go on to board a Hovertrain that brings them to Anchorhead.

When he got there, he was soon making a deal with a Jawa named Teeka.

Obi Wan had asked Teeka if she could find a T-16 skyhopper, and to his luck, she was able to find one.

She had also tried to sell his own parts back to him, dirty, claiming that "cleaning was extra."

Teeka then told Obi Wan about finding spare parts from a Jedi Starship.

Obi Wan feigned skepticism, saying that the Jedi were all but extinct.

Teeka then left.

As Obi Wan placed the T-16 skyhopper down on the counter, One-One came rolling in.

"Master Kenobi, Miss Noceda just called; Master Sam needs another Elixir", One-One exclaimed.

Obi Wan said, "I put a few extra in his backpack. Tell her to give him one."

"Okay", One-One said, he then told Camila to grab Sam's Elixir from his backpack and give him one.

Obi Wan sighed as he packed up his purchases.

"Let's go pick up Sam, he will be feeling tired after drinking one of those Elixirs", Obi Wan said.

One-One said, "very good, sir."

One-One then jumped onto the Eopie as Obi Wan got on….

….

We then see Obi Wan carrying Sam in his arms, as they are now back home.

Sam yawned tiredly.

Obi Wan carries Sam to his bedroom.

Sam is then placed onto his bed.

"Dad…. I'm getting worried…. I need to drink more and more Elixirs to turn back to normal", Sam said.

Obi Wan said, "we'll find a way to deal with your curse, Sam. I promise."

Sam smiled a little.

He said, "I love you, dad."

Obi Wan smiled and said, "I love you too my boy."

Sam smiled as he fell asleep.

KeeKee then hopped onto the bed and curled up by Sam.

Obi Wan gave a small smile as he left the room.

He saw One-One monitoring the holonet.

"Don't tell me, more stuff about the Emperor or his Inquisitors", Obi Wan said.

One-One said, "that's all that's ever on the news anymore…."

Obi Wan sighed.

He said, "I hope the best of us survived…. Even those like Barriss and Ventress…."

"Let's hope for the best", One-One said.

….

Later that night….

Obi Wan is asleep in his bed, but he is having nightmares….

"I know there's…."

"You were my brother, Anakin!"

"Promise me you will train the boy."

HAHAHA!

"Obi-Wan….."

"Only pain will you find."

"There's good in him. I know there's…."

"You were the Chosen One!"

Baby wailing!

"I hate you!"

"AAAAAHHHHH!"

Obi Wan then woke up!

He was breathing heavily.

Obi Wan called out, "Master Qui-Gon. Master?"

Obi Wan heard nothing. He sighed and rose to his feet.

"Daddy?"

Obi Wan turned around and saw Sam.

Obi Wan asked, "Sam? What is it?"

Sam said, "I heard a noise outside."

That got Obi Wan standing to his feet in mere seconds.

He said, "hide here. I will go see what it is…."

"Daddy…. Please be careful", Sam whimpered.

Obi Wan gave a firm nod as he went outside.

Obi Wan looked around carefully to see what made the sound.

He kept looking around, but saw nothing in sight. He sighed and made his way back inside.

He saw Sam sitting there clutching his blanket.

Obi Wan said, "you're not going to sleep unless it's in my room, right?"

Sam nodded.

Obi Wan then picked up Sam.

He carried him to his room and let Sam sleep beside him for the night….

….

The next day….

Sam held onto his father as they rode the Eopie to a certain farm.

They stood atop a cliff overlooking the Lars homestead.

Obi Wan took out some binoculars.

He looked down towards the moisture farm.

He saw Owen Lars and Luke.

Luke had run off to play while Owen was working.

Owen and Beru were left to search for Luke.

Luke was wearing some goggles. He was acting like he was piloting a ship.

Obi Wan smiled at what he saw.

He acted so much like his father as a kid.

Before they left, Obi Wan left the Skyhopper toy there for Luke….

….

We then see it was near night time.

Obi Wan and Sam were heading back to their home.

Sam was falling asleep.

Obi Wan patted his son's head.

Sam smiled softly.

"Master."

Obi Wan then turned around to see who said that.

It was the Jedi who had escaped the Inquisitors.

Obi Wan grew cautious as he held Sam closer.

"I thought I saw you in the town, but I wasn't sure. I didn't think you'd survived", the Jedi said.

"You're making some kind of mistake", Obi Wan said.

Nari said, "I'm sorry, my name is Nari. Um, there's no mistake."

Obi Wan said, "you're looking for somebody else."

Nari asked, "what are you doing here, Obi-Wan?"

Obi Wan and Sam got off of the eopie.

Obi Wan tied their ropes and said, "my name is Ben. He is Alec."

Nari said, "come on, please. Please. You have no idea what I've been through."

Obi Wan said, "you must leave. You'll draw too much attention to me and my son."

"But I have nowhere to go. They're hunting me. You have to help me", Nari pleaded.

Obi Wan glanced at Sam and asked Nari, "you want my help?"

Nari nodded.

Obi Wan picked up Nari's lightsaber and said, "take this. Walk into the middle of the desert and bury it in the ground. Stay hidden. Live a normal life."

Sam gave an uneasy look.

Nari asked, "what about the people that need us? What about the fight?"

Obi Wan said, "the fight is done. We lost…."

Obi Wan began leading Sam inside as Nari asked, "what happened to you? You were once a great Jedi."

Obi Wan sighed and said, "the time of the Jedi is over. Go back to the town…."

Sam watched as Nari walked away.

Sam glanced at his father. Was this the right thing to do?

Obi Wan then led Sam to his bedroom.

He soon got Sam tucked in.

Obi Wan then kissed Sam's forehead and he left the room.

Sam laid there quietly until he heard Revan say, "that was awkward."

"It was…. But what dad did…. I can just sense…. It didn't feel right", Sam said.

Revan said, "a lifetime of regret can make a man do terrible things."

Sam asked, "can my dad become the great Jedi he once was?"

Revan said, "I'm not sure…. Could take something very big to make that happen."

Sam sighed.

Revan said, "I sense danger on the horizon…. I'm just not sure what…."

Sam felt a little scared after hearing that.

"Go to sleep Sam, it's already late for you", Revan said.

Sam gave a small nod as sleep caught up with him.

Revan smiled as he saw Sam fall asleep.

He was cute when he slept.

A universal gift, he thought.

Revan had come to see Sam as if he was his own child

Spending all of this time with the boy had drawn them close together.

He and Sam were now like family.

He'd protect Sam with whatever life he had now.

Revan then touched Sam's cheek.

He whispered, "good night, little guy."

Sam smiled in his sleep.

….

Later, on Alderaan….

Inside one of the buildings.

We see three handmaidens.

They were currently getting someone dressed up.

Once they had finished dressing up the little girl, we see Breha Organa walk into the room.

She asked, "she's ready?"

The handmaidens nodded.

Breha said, "great. Thank you."

Breha then walked over to the little girl.

She said, "remember, my sister's whole family is coming. We need their support. So try not to make anyone cry. There will be sweetmallows at the reception after. If you behave, I will let you….", Breha said but then stopped mid sentence as she saw the little girl's hand.

It didn't look human!

She pulled the girl's hood down, showing that she wasn't human.

The girl said, "she insisted you would find it amusing, your Highness."

Breha then turned to look at the handmaidens who had their heads down.

She then turned to look at the guard.

"She's either in the cellar, in the kitchen…. Or in the woods", Breha said as she sighed.

….

Meanwhile…. In the woods.

We see Leia Organa running through the woods and beside her was her droid, Lola.

Leia giggles as she and Lola run through the woods and climb up a tree.

Leia then sits down on a branch and Lola sits beside her.

The two then watch as ships fly off into the sky.

Leia said, "medical freighter. Pleasure barge, boring."

Lola gave a sad chirp.

Leia said, "Casino ship? Not bad."

Lola chirps in agreement.

Leia said, "ooh. A Tri-wing. That's a new one."

Lola chirps excitedly.

Leia said, "oh. An Aquillian Ranger. Probably scouting for Merson pirates."

Lola chirps strangely.

Leia said, "no? Trader, maybe?"

"Leia Organa!"

Leia then saw her mother and two guards.

Breha asked sternly, "you had to do this today?"

Leia asked innocently, "do what?"

"Down", Breha ordered.

Leia then got down.

Lola chirps nervously.

Breha said, "it is like raising a Glor-ag. No Lola for the rest of the day."

Leia said, "but she didn't do anything!"

Breha said, "shut her down. I mean it."

Leia reluctantly deactivates Lola.

Breha said, "if you behaved as well as you climb, you'd be a senator already."

Breha then grabs Leia's hand and begins to lead her back to the palace.

"You'll have to change in the speeder. Come", Breha said.

"It's not like anyone would miss me if I wasn't there", Leia said.

"I'd miss you", Breha said.

"All I ever do is wave", Leia said.

"Then do more than wave. You get out of this what you put into it" Breha said.

"I'm sorry, Mother. I really am. I promise I won't do it again", Leia said as she hugged her mother.

"You know, I can feel you doing that", Breha said.

Leia gave an embarrassed grin as she had nearly grabbed Lola.

Breha said, "come on", as they reached their home.

Leia said, "it's like living in a prison."

Breha asked, "a prison?"

What they didn't know was that someone was watching them...

….

Meanwhile, back on Tatooine….

Obi Wan had just arrived back to Anchorhead from work.

"Daddy!"

Obi Wan turned around and saw Sam running towards him.

Obi Wan smiled as he knelt down and hugged his son.

Sam giggled in joy as he hugged his father.

Camilla and Luz soon approached.

"You were right Mama, we got here at the right time", Luz said.

Camilla sighed in relief.

Obi Wan asked, "Camila, what are you doing here?"

"I needed to go to the market today, so I brought Luz and Sam with me", Camila explained.

Obi Wan said, "I trust my son's been behaving himself?"

"He was behaving well, he's a little angel", Camila said.

Sam giggled.

"I have something for you my little boy", Obi Wan said as he pulled something out of his bag.

Sam asked, "what is it?"

Sam then gasped as Obi Wan held up a red bow.

"I found this bow the other day at a cheap price, and I thought you might want it, my little one", Obi Wan said.

Sam smiled excitedly and nodded.

Obi Wan then placed the bow on the back of Sam's head

Sam smiled brightly.

"Thank you so much Daddy, I love it", Sam said as he hugged his father.

Obi Wan chuckled and said, "I'd hoped you would."

Obi Wan knew that Sam had liked women's clothing over men's clothing some time ago.

His son liked to wear dresses, skirts, clothing made for women.

Luz and Camila were smiling at the sight.

"Well, we have to go, it was nice seeing you Ben", Camila said.

Ben nodded and said, "it was good seeing you, Camilla."

"Bye Sam", Luz said.

"Bye Luz, Bye Camila", Sam said as he waved his hand.

Luz and her mother then walked away.

Sam and Obi Wan stood there for a few moments.

"Well let's get ready to head home", Obi Wan said as he went to untie his Eopie.

Then something was thrown at Obi Wan's feet, which startled Sam.

It was the Skyhopper toy.

And the one who'd thrown it was Owen.

"I want you to stay away from him. We don't need anything from you, Ben", Owen said as he glared at Obi Wan.

Obi Wan said, "it's just a toy."

Obi Wan picked up the toy.

"It's a lot more than that", Owen said.

"There's more to life than your farm, Owen. He needs to see that. There's a whole galaxy out there", Obi Wan said.

Owen said, "I'm asking you to leave us alone, Ben. I mean it."

Obi Wan asked, "is he okay?"

"You don't care if he's okay. You care if he's showing." Owen said.

Sam held KeeKee as he watched his father talk with Owen.

Obi Wan said, "they're my responsibility, Owen."

Owen said, "I'm their uncle."

Obi Wan said, "we talked about this. When the time comes, he and Sam must be trained."

Owen said, "like you trained their father?"

The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Owen said, "Anakin is dead, Ben, and I won't let you make the same mistake twice. So, leave Luke on the farm with his family, where he belongs. Keep Alec here, away from the danger…."

Owen then walked away.

Sam asked, "Daddy?"

Obi Wan looked down at his son.

The Townspeople were then moving away from something.

"Move now. Get out of the way."

Obi Wan then saw something in the distance…. Something that shook him to the core.

Inquisitors were arriving!

Sam saw them as well.

Sam asked in fear, "Daddy, are they….?"

Obi Wan whispered, "yes. We need to hide."

Obi Wan picked up Sam and held him close as the two hid themselves.

KeeKee hid as well.

None of them wanted to risk getting caught.

"You know why we're here", the Fifth Brother said as he walked around some townspeople, "there is a Jedi hiding on this planet. We need to know where he is. You will be rewarded well."

"Or you'll be punished", the Third Sister shouted.

"Reva", the Fifth Brother scolded.

"Hands go first! That way, when you reach for anything, you think of us", Reva said.

A woman said, "this is the Outer Rim. You have no rights here. We're not under the Empire's-"

Reva sends the woman flying into a wall.

Reva said, "all we want is information. If anyone knows anything about a Jedi….", she looked towards Owen, "you know something? What's your name?"

Owen replied, "Owen."

Reva said, "Owen. Farmer, right? Wife? Kids?"

Owen said, "my family's of no concern to you."

Reva said, "they might be. You got a Jedi on that farm, too?"

"No", Owen said as he shook his head.

Reva asked, "why should I believe you?"

"I have no love for the Jedi. Jedi are vermin. I kill vermin on my farm", Owen said.

Reva said, "you protect your family. I like that, Owen. It's important. You think you could protect them from me? Tell me where the Jedi is, or this man and his family die!"

The townspeople gasped and backed away in fear.

"The Jedi are cowards. They failed you, abandoned you. There is no point in protecting them. They would not do the same for you. But you can save this man. Save his family", Reva said as she activated her lightsaber and pointed it to Owen's neck.

Obi Wan and Sam saw all this from their hiding spot.

Sam was shaking in fear as he hugged his father even more.

The Fifth Brother yelled, "enough! If you remember anything, rewards will be given. Stand down, Third Sister. Now!"

Reva's lightsaber deactivates as she growls, "next time, Owen."

Reva and the Fifth Brother then walk away.

Obi Wan and Sam sigh in relief.

Obi Wan then walks over to Owen and says, "thank you Owen."

Owen said, "I didn't do it for you."

Owen then walked away.

Sam and his father glanced at one another.

"Daddy, that was scary", Sam whimpered.

Obi Wan said, "I know…. We better head home before anything else happens…."

Obi Wan held Sam close the entire way back home….

….

Back on Alderaan….

We see Leia and her family waiting as a ship lands in front of them.

Bail asked Leia, "right on time as always. Anything good today?"

"A trade ship and an Aquillian Ranger", Leia said.

Bail smirked and said, "probably scouring for pirates."

Leia said, "that's what I said!"

Breha said, "don't encourage her."

Bail chuckled and said, "alright. Come now."

The ship's ramp lowered and out walked Celly Organa, her husband Kayo Organa and their son Niano Organa.

Leia muttered, "let's get this over with…."

Celly said, "Breha."

Breha said, "Sister."

"Greetings", Bail said.

"Hi Cousin", Leia said.

Leia's cousin seemed to ignore her.

Leia was annoyed at this, but tried not to show it.

Leia and her family then got into a speeder

They made their way to a social gathering.

Inside the building, it was filled with lots of people.

"Profits have been good. After the disaster of the Republic, the Empire is finally lining some pockets", Kayo said.

"There are still some issues that we need to address. Slave labor, taxation of the Outer Rim….", Bail said, but Kayo interrupted him.

"I didn't come here to end slavery, Bail. I came to eat your food. Save the bleeding heart for the Senate", Kayo said

A waiter asked, "a drink, Senator?"

Kayo said, "ah. Thank you."

We see C3-P0 translating languages between species as Leia sits with her cousin.

A droid known as Y-O said to Leia, "your Highness."

Leia said, "oh. Thanks, Y-O."

Y-O said, "my pleasure."

Niano asked, "you thank your droids?"

Leia said, "it's good manners."

Niano said, "you don't need manners when you're talking to a lower life form."

Leia smirked and said, "then I guess I don't need manners when I'm talking to you…."

"You know the difference between you and me, cousin? I know things. My father says they never let you leave this planet. They don't want anybody to know about you because you're not one of us. You're not even a real Organa", Niano said with a smirk on his face.

Leia glared at Niano.

"You're scared of him. Your father. You want him to like you, so you repeat what he says even though you don't really know what it means. You think being like him will make people frightened of you, but really, you're the one who's scared. You've never made one decision for yourself in your entire life, and you never will. I may not have seen much, cousin, but I can see that", Leia said angrily.

Niano gave an angry look while Leia's parents glanced at one another.

...

"He was being horrible to everyone", Leia said to her mother.

"He's your cousin", Breha said sternly.

"He's rude to droids", Leia said.

Breha said, "you have to rise above, Leia. You owe him an apology."

Leia said, "I'd rather be digested by a jakobeast.

Bail sighed and led his daughter over to the balcony and said, "I wanted to live out way past Kathou when I was your age. Chase purrgil, you know? I had a whole plan."

Leia asked, "what happened?"

Bail said, "I got older. Had to find some other adventures. Started chasing your mother instead."

Bail chuckled as Leia cringed.

Bail said, "this is your future, Leia. In a few years, you'll be off to university, then Junior Senate."

"The Senate's boring. It's people in itchy clothes arguing", Leia said.

"Well, it may seem so….", Bail said as he chuckled.

"I don't want to be a senator", Leia said.

"It is why you'll probably be one of the best", Bail said.

"I'm not even a real Organa", Leia said sadly.

Bail said as he knelt down to his adopted daughter, "what? Don't ever say that. You are our child. You are an Organa in every way. One day, this planet will look to you, Leia. There are many ways to lead. You just have to find yours. Plus, imagine the look on your cousin's face when you get to boss him around for real."

Leia giggled as her father chuckled.

Bail said, "but for now, we will…. Apologize."

Leia said, "yes, Father."

Bail said, "hmm. I'll wait for you downstairs."

Bail then walked away.

Leia had a different idea….

….

We then see Leia as she runs outside to the woods.

She was smiling and giggling as she ran.

….

Inside the palace….

"Thank you", Breha said as she handed back a datapad to a guard.

"She's gone", Bail said to his wife.

"I thought you said you've really got through to her", Breha said.

"You know what she's like", Bail said.

"I know who she's like", Breha said.

"Send a unit", Bail said to a guard.

The guard nods his head as he walked away.

"She can't be far", Bail said.

….

We see Leia arrive at her favorite spot…. But someone is already there.

A man named Vect.

He says, "hello, Princess."

Leia asked, "why are you here?"

Vect said, "just waiting."

Leia asked, "for what?"

Suddenly, several people surrounded Leia.

Vect said, "for you."

Leia looked scared and then she quickly ran off!

Leia yelled, "help!"

She nearly got away, but was soon captured….

….

We see Obi Wan and Sam sitting in front of a hologram of Bail and Breha, who look distraught.

"We don't know who it was. No ransom, no leads. Whoever they are, they knew where she would be. They…. They were waiting", Bail said.

"She needs you, Obi Wan. We can't trust anyone else", Breha said.

Obi Wan asked, "what about the senate?"

"We cannot let this become public. It would draw too much attention", Bail said.

Obi Wan said, "well, your guard then? Or a bounty hunter?"

"Only you know how important she really is, Obi-Wan. If Leia is discovered….", Bail said.

Obi Wan said, "I can't leave here, Bail. My duty is to Sam and Luke…."

Bail said, "what about your duty to their sister? She's as important as they are."

Obi Wan sighs, "it's been ten years. I'm not who I used to be. Find someone else. She'll be better off…."

Sam looked at his father in shock as the call ended.

Obi Wan tried to say, "Sam-"

"Coward", Sam said.

Sam then ran off.

Obi Wan exclaimed, "Sam!"

Obi Wan ran after Sam.

Sam kept running as fast as he could, he just couldn't take it!

Obi Wan reached Sam and grabbed onto his shoulders.

"Leave me alone", Sam shouted.

Obi Wan yelled, "Sam! Sam! Look at me!"

Sam looked at Obi Wan with tear stained cheeks and tear filled eyes.

He asked, "how can you leave people in danger like this!? First Nari. And now a sister I didn't even know I had?!"

Sam kept crying as he tried to get himself free.

Sam cried, "why won't you help anyone?!"

Obi Wan yelled, "because I can't! Look at me! I'm a broken old man, hiding in a desert, living with nothing but regret. How could I possibly help anyone?!"

Sam kept crying in anger and frustration at his father as he kept thrashing to get himself free.

Obi Wan then heard someone whisper, "tell him of your promise to Padme."

Obi Wan wasn't sure where the voice had come from, but he decided to heed its advice.

"Sam, please listen…. I'm going to tell you something important…. It's something I promised to…. Your mother", Obi Wan said.

Sam slowly began to calm down.

Obi Wan said, "when she had passed on, I promised her that I would do whatever it took to protect you and your brother. I gave up using the force. Using my real name. Everything…. Because I couldn't bear to lose you the way I lost Anakin or Padme…."

Sam had a shocked look on his face.

Obi Wan cried, "I know I'm not your real father…. But you are the son I've always wanted…. And I couldn't bear to see you hurt…."

Sam then hugged his father.

Obi Wan cried, "I love you so much…. My son…."

"I love you too…. Dad", Sam cried.

Obi Wan held Sam close to him.

Sam hugged his father even more.

Sam asked, "please…. Think of Uncle Bail's request?"

Obi Wan said, "I…. I will consider it…. For you."

Sam smiled a little.

Obi Wan then carried his son back towards home.

Sam fell asleep in his father's arms.

Obi Wan soon tucked him in and resigned himself to an uneasy sleep….

….

Meanwhile….

We see the ship Leia is on.

She's tossed in a holding cell as she yells, "let me go!"

"Shut her up", Vect said.

….

Later, on Tatooine….

Obi Wan had just walked into Anchorhead once again, when he saw a crowd looking at a rather disturbing sight.

Obi Wan walked over and what he saw made his heart stop.

Nari's body was strung up for everyone to see. A warning to Jedi and civilians alike.

He knew that this was the work of the Inquisitors.

Obi Wan immediately regretted not helping the poor Jedi knight.

Obi Wan then began to make his way back home.

Once he got home, he heard, "she's headed for Daiyu."

Obi Wan saw that it was Bail Organa.

Obi Wan said, "you should not have come."

Bail said, "they hid their signature behind a freight transport. The ship is on its way there now."

Obi Wan said, "I can't."

Bail said, "she's my daughter, Obi Wan."

Obi Wan said, "I told you…. I'm not the man you remember."

Bail said, "you're going to have to be!"

"Uncle Bail is right, Dad."

Obi Wan saw Sam.

Obi Wan said, "but I can't leave you or Luke."

Bail said, "this isn't about them, and you know it! You've made mistakes. We all did. It's the past. Move on. Be done with it. You couldn't save Anakin, but you can save her."

Obi Wan asked, "and what if I can't?"

"There is no-one I trust more with my child than you. Please, old friend. For her. One last fight", Bail pleaded.

Obi Wan was deep in thought for a moment.

Finally, he looked at Sam and said, "pack your bag…. We make for Daiyu…."

Sam smiled at his father and hugged him.

Obi Wan hugged back.

….

Meanwhile, with Leia….

We see Leia was still tied up and she was reaching for her droid.

She whispered, "come on, Lola. Come on."

Leia is able to turn Lola on.

Lola chirps before Leia shushes her and whispers, "can you untie me?"

Lola flies over to Leia and pulls out a tiny buzzsaw.

She begins cutting Leia's bonds.

But then the doors open.

Vect is standing there.

"I'm not afraid of you", Leia said as she tried to look brave.

Vect growled, "give it time" before he grabbed Lola and smashed her to the ground.

"Lola", Leia shouted.

Lola deactivates.

Leia yelled, "my father will rescue me! He'll send a whole army!"

Vect said, "no one's coming for you."

Vect then walks out of the room and the door closes.

He then entered the cockpit.

Vect then made a call to a certain someone.

One of his teammates said, "this is a bad idea. Kidnapping kids…. You think it's gonna work?"

"Lets just get this over with", Vect said as the hologram of who they called appeared.

It was Reva!

Vect asked her, "you sure he's gonna come?"

Reva said, "he fought beside her father during the war. He'll come. He won't be able to help it. The Jedi will hunt himself."

….

Back on Tatooine….

We see Sam and Obi Wan riding the Eopie.

KeeKee sat in Sam's lap.

Obi Wan then stopped the Eopie at a certain spot.

Obi Wan got off and began digging into the ground.

Obi Wan then soon dug out a box.

Sam walked over to his father when he opened the box.

Inside were two lightsabers.

The one that belonged to Anakin.

And Obi Wan's own saber.

Obi Wan then picked up his lightsaber.

He closed his eyes and gave a deep breath.

Sam got a closer look at the other lightsaber that belonged to his real father.

It looked to be in good condition.

Obi Wan then closed the box and once again began to bury it.

He muttered, "I'll come back for this at a later date…."

Obi Wan stood up.

He and Sam then got back on the Eopie.

….

A few minutes later….

Sam was holding Obi Wan's hand as the two made their way to a shuttle.

Their mission…. To save a Princess.

Obi Wan asked, "Sam, did you make sure you packed enough elixirs?"

Sam nodded and said, "yes I did."

KeeKee walked alongside Sam.

One-One was nestled in Sam's backpack.

Sam and Obi Wan saw the shuttle they were going to board.

Obi Wan whispered, "ready?"

"Yes", Sam whispered.

Obi Wan gave a small nod.

The two then walk towards the Shuttle.

Their mission officially began….

Reviews:

SuperSentai199: thanks so much. Happy to have written with you for all this time.

Guest: you make some fair points. But I feel like Obi Wan AFTER Revenge of the Sith could've made a good parent. We saw what he was willing to do to rescue Leia and protect Luke over the years. He learned from his mistakes with training Anakin over the years. So I think it's plausible he could've been a good parent.
