AN: Just an AU of the SW Prequels I wanted to write for a while. Enjoy!
It was raining on the capital of the Galactic Republic or Corusant. The metropolitan planet was filled with large buildings that reached Corusant's skies as well as industrial complexes and factories were placed all over the planet. The city scape of the planet was so vast that it eliminated any sign of flora or fauna flourishing. This included the Senate Chamber, where Senators from all over the galaxy discussed and debated over issues that scoured the galaxy. However, in the center of all of this industrial life was a large monastery-like building that housed hundreds of the Republic's guardians, the Jedi Temple.
Ever since its foundation, the Jedi Order built the Temple on Corusant to be protect the Senate from any harm, and to establish itself as the protectors of the Galactic Republic. Beings from all over the galaxy arrive at the Temple to train as warriors of the Force, to protect and serve those of the Republic. The Jedi Temple was a large box-shaped building with five spires extending from the top. The four spires served as watchtowers, while the center spire held a chamber where the Order's most wisest and powerful masters would meet.
Unfortunately, it was not a joyous day as two humans slowly walked out of the entrance of the Jedi Temple with their bags filled with their personal belongings. The male human in his mid twenties with fair skin, short brown hair and blue eyes, who wore a dark brown Jedi robe and tunic over his body. The female was in her late twenties with light tanned skin, long blond hair and green eyes, and she wore a green robe over her gray tunic. Dropping their bags onto the ground, the two humans stared at the gates of the Jedi Temple before looking at themselves. "I'm sorry this had to happen Padme," the young man said with sadness in his voice. "We knew being Jedi would forbid us from marrying, but we did it anyway, and now look at us. We're nothing more than exiles."
A small tear ran down the face of the woman named Padme, but one could not tell as the ran poured onto her face. "I'm sorry too Anakin," Padme sadly spoke. However, she kept a strong demeanor as she held the hand of the man, Anakin. "But, no matter what happens, we'll always be together as husband and wife."
Anakin tried to give his wife a small smile as he held her hands. "Yes," he nodded, "we will."
The two former Jedi then grabbed their bags, ready to leave their old lives as Jedi. "ANAKIN!" a voice shouted.
Upon hearing the shout, Anakin froze where he was for he recognized the voice as he turned around to see its owner. "Obi-Wan."
The Jedi Knight known as Obi-Wan Kenobi stood at the doors of chamber. He was in his mid to late forties with brown hair and beard as well as blue eyes. He wore the typical brown Jedi robes and his lightsaber hung from his belt. As the Jedi Knight walked up to the two, Anakin demanded, "Obi-Wan what are you doing here?"
"You weren't going to leave without saying goodbye, were you?" Obi-Wan asked with a small smile.
Anakin could not help but smile back at his old mentor. Suddenly, a thought came up in Anakin's head as he reached down to his belt and pulled out his lightsaber hilt. "Here," Anakin offered his mentor his lightsaber, "I want you to hold onto this."
Seeing Anakin's lightsaber, Obi-Wan shook his head. "Anakin, I can't..." Obi-Wan began, but was cut off.
"Obi-Wan, I'm not asking as a Jedi, but as a friend," Anakin pleaded. "Please, take it."
Hesitantly, Obi-Wan took Anakin's old lightsaber from the hands of his old apprentice before looking up at him. "I will take good care of it," Obi-Wan said with determination in his voice. "Until we meet again."
Anakin nodded at that, but Padme interjected, "I worry if we'll ever see each other."
"Worry, you should not," an old voice spoke.
It was then both Padme and Anakin noticed a familiar green Jedi walking towards them using his cane as support. "Master Yoda," Padme and Anakin gasped in unison.
"Remember, binds us together, the Force does," Yoda spoke with his wisdom. "Jedi Knights, you are no longer, but strong in the Force, you are. Meet again, we will."
The two former Jedi could not help but smile at the elderly Jedi's wisdom that continued to aid them, despite they were no longer Jedi. "Thank you Master Yoda," Anakin thanked as he slung his backpack over his shoulders.
"Glad, I am," Yoda smiled back.
"We should get going," Padme stated. "Thank you masters and may the Force be with you."
"May the Force be with you as well," Obi-Wan nodded his head.
Nodding, the two former Jedi nodded back as they carried their backpacks with them and left the Temple that they once called home. The two Jedi Masters watched as Anakin and Padme left the Jedi Temple, and headed towards the nearest transport. Once they were out of their sight, Obi-Wan and Yoda returned back to the Jedi Temple, sorrowing filling their hearts of the departure of two most promising Jedi.
