meet miss

Three years, neither long nor short.

At the age of 15, Anakin, who had just gone through the voice change period, hadn't swallowed the last bite of meat, Obi-Wan quickly took the tableware from him, and even the soup bowl that Qui-Gon hadn't finished drinking was gone.

"What's the matter with him?" He chewed it twice again, "Are you stealing his business again?"

Qui-Gon was also puzzled. Obi-Wan just caught two human traffickers yesterday and came to the bureau to collect the bounty. He should be in a good mood. "Isn't it because your Soretsu wants to practice five moves before he can learn it well?"

"He's jealous that I'm about to surpass him."

Over the past few years, Obi-Wan has done a good job as a bounty hunter, and at the same time gave Anakin a lot of guidance on sword skills. It is not like a pure Jedi-style education, but more of a strong human touch and exposed feelings. Not even he could escape the often out-of-the-box blunt words.Breaking away from the shackles of the Jedi's innocence and asceticism, without the standpoint of requiring the children to restrain their emotions, now seems to be a good thing. Whenever Obi-Wan raises his head and shows a big smile, it will always make people feel comfortable and happy from the bottom of their hearts.

"Anakin, you are indeed very talented, but don't underestimate your master, sometimes I am no match for him."

"No matter how lean your four styles are, time is not forgiving." Obi-Wan poked his head out from the kitchen, and soon disappeared again.

Sticking out his tongue, Anakin glanced at Qui-Gon, wiped his hands and followed into the kitchen relying on the fact that he was still young enough to act like a baby.

"Let's talk about it first, is it Qui-Gon or me?"

"Did you wipe your body without washing your hands?" The child's days and nights were long, and he was almost as tall as himself. Obviously, he was the one who ate the most in the family, so why couldn't he grow a little longer.

"Did Kui Gang bully you?" Hanging on the master like an octopus, he didn't think about how much he weighed now.

"No, you go down for me, I have to finish washing quickly, and I'm going on a date later."

Dating?Kui Gang leaned against the kitchen door and was stunned for a moment, a date?My heart twitched unconsciously.

Compared to Anakin, who was tolerant of adolescence, Obi-Wan always disagreed with Qui-Gon in various ways. Going to bed early is rigid, returning home late is a workaholic, getting injured will be disgusted, and catching the most vicious person is not easy. It turned out that he was not given a chance to make money as a bounty hunter. In short, he was dissatisfied everywhere.But no matter how late he came home, there was always warm food on the table, no matter how shallow or small the injury was, the bandage was always so gentle and careful, and when he couldn't catch the target, he would make a very serious request Tougher guidance.

Qui-Gon didn't want to make assumptions. If he had followed the guidance of the Force, would Obi-Wan have become an excellent Jedi today?If so, such a beautiful and ordinary life like a family of three would not exist.And Obi-Wan would not say such words as going out on a date, and Qui-Gon would not feel uncomfortable because the young man wants to date someone else, after all, this runs counter to the Jedi code.

"When did the man and the woman meet?" Anakin shook Obi-Wan's shoulder desperately, his tone full of displeasure.

"Female, younger than me, exotic and glamorous poisonous rose." Answered one by one, with an elbow to drive away the apprentice who got in the way.

"I'm going too, can't you take me there? I'll check for you." It's a pity that the brown sugar is not so easy to get rid of.

"Anakin! You..." Obi-Wan had to turn to Qui-Gon, who stayed out of the matter, for help, "Ki-Gon, take care of him, I'm going to be late for the appointment."

"Anakin, the Jedi rules tell us that an overly strong bond will affect correct judgment." The elder's speech caused the two young people to roll their eyes at the same time, "If you want me to say, let go of Obi-Wan, let Obi-Wan He can shave again when he has time."

Hearing this, the young man let go of his hands quickly and nodded seriously, "Since it's a date, we should take it seriously, master, go and shave your beard."

Rinse off the foam on his hands, and frowned, "My beard is pretty good." I was a little unhappy, and after a lot of effort, I left a prototype, so that I no longer look like a 20-year-old young man. He always felt that It was this face that made him lack the majesty he should have in front of Anakin.

Qui-Gon stopped Anakin, who wanted to follow him out secretly, and shook his head to tell him to practice the lightsaber obediently. Recently, he was always restless, always feeling that something was going to happen, and the dark shadow in the force was almost swallowing the light side. Now When it's not emotional, if the galaxy is really doomed, Anakin will be even more important. He can grow so much in just three years, and Qui-Gon is more and more sure that he is the son of prophecy.

It was almost early morning when Obi-Wan returned home at night. Anakin and Qui-Gon were still discussing the advantages and disadvantages of lightsabers against advanced weapons such as laser guns. Both of them discovered something was wrong immediately.

"What's going on?" Anakin jumped up from the sofa, rushed to grab the young man's wrist, there were obvious welts.

There were scratches on his face, and his clothes were not as clean and tidy as when he went out. What made people even more angry was that he lowered his head and his eyes were red and swollen. It looked like he had been crying for a long time.

"Who is it?" Anger and hatred welled up in the boy's heart, and the original force stirred up waves in the room.

Sensing the abnormality of his apprentice, Obi-Wan recovered from his own world, and quickly pressed Anakin's shoulder to comfort him softly, "I'm fine, Annie, why don't you go to rest so late?"

"It's all like this and you still say it's okay? Aren't you going on a date? Have you met a pervert? Can't you beat her? Tell me who it is, and I'll help you..."

"It's really all right," forced an ugly smile, "It's my fault, I'm sorry for her."

"Obi-Wan?" Qui-Gon realized that the other party had been avoiding him since entering the door.Sure enough, when he heard the man's call, the young man couldn't help but tremble, "A former friend?"

The guilt of tangled chaos and betrayal made him unable to face Qui-Gon now, taking a step back like a frightened animal.

Seeing the child's reaction, he already knew, "Did something happen to Earl Dooku?"

He raised his head suddenly, his flustered eyes betrayed all the information.

"He was also my mentor and my friend." He stood still, not wanting to give the other party a sense of oppression, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Tears welled up again, and flew into Kui Gang's arms, so sad and so sad.

"I know you... think he is not a good person..." Weeping intermittently, "but his ideal is to really hope for peace... He just... just used the wrong method...Master...Master..."

Qui-Gon patted him on the back, encouraging him to tell it all. Only by venting could he be freed from it. If he was still a Jedi, he would never approve of himself doing this. Fortunately, he was no longer.

"Ventress said Sith betrayed them, it was Sith... Sith killed my master, she said... she said the master told her not to tell me...don't let me take revenge... Master he..."

"He loves you, Obi-Wan, good boy," Qui-Gon said instead of the young man who was crying until he convulsed. "He was once a wise Jedi Master, and he lived up to his ideals and beliefs in the end."

This kind of acknowledgment is like a lone boat sailing into the port, the dandelion falling into the soil, the restless heart is finally completely melted, and there are no traces of the knots and grudges in the past...

After Qui-Gon waited for Obi-Wan to fall asleep after crying, he told Anakin to go to bed earlier, and put on a coat to go out.He must communicate with Master Yoda as soon as possible. The situation is really not optimistic. If Sith even abandons Dooku without hesitation, then there must be a big move next.

However, the signal has not been connected, and even when I tried to contact my old friends, no one answered.In desperation, Qui-Gon sent a letter to Bel Organa, a member of the Republic who once had friendship, with the identification number of Sheriff Hasma.

The request was also rejected at the beginning, but after a while, an encrypted message was sent back, and Kui Gang immediately recognized the code number and dialed it as prompted.

"Thanks to the Force," Master Yoda's tired figure appeared in the holographic image, "Leave the residence as soon as possible, Palpatine, Sith Lord, yes."

"Master Yoda failed to stop Palpatine, and Master Windu has died," Congressman Organa continued to explain after replacing Yoda who needed treatment, "Time is limited, so I will make a long story short."

Palpatine, as Naboo's councilor in Coruscant, had been hiding in the Republic for decades. Behind the secret curtain, he was the mysterious Sith Lord—Darth Sidious.

The clones were forced to enforce Secret Order 66. Most of the Jedi who were fighting side by side a second ago were massacred without warning. There are very few known survivors. Just a few hours ago, Palpatine announced his disbandment Republic, form empire.

"Fortunately, I have always remained neutral in the parliament. I have just officially announced that I will vote for the Empire, and I have not been suspected yet," Bell continued regretfully, "I'm sorry that I can't save everyone. Several masters desperately saved the few young disciples who escaped by chance, other than that..." He shook his head and remained silent for a while.

"The most important thing right now is to send the survivors out of Coruscant safely and escape the hunt. Bell, you must be careful yourself." Qui-Gon was terrified by all this, he couldn't remain indifferent, and had to do something.

"Son of Prophecy, young Skywalker," Yoda gasped, "Darth Sidious already knows and must leave as soon as possible, all three of you."

Anakin found a coded address in the pocket of Obi-Wan's changed trousers, which was no problem for him, and it took him a few minutes to solve the puzzle.Gently pushing open the bedroom door, the young man lying on the bed and already asleep looked terrible, even the man who was almost 30 years old looked as young and attractive as when he first met.

He tiptoed to the bedside and straightened his messy hair. It was so beautiful. The young man was a little distracted, but he soon came back to his senses.Meeting Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan was the luckiest and best thing in his life, Qui-Gon gave him a home, a perfect father, and Obi-Wan was his teacher, and even he could see that The ambiguous feelings that gradually grew between the two.Don't believe the 'master-student' rhetoric between them. Qui-Gon himself said that the master-student bond between him and Obi-Wan is a bit strange. He thought it was because he had cut it off before, but the precocious boy thought, That's probably because the connection between the bond is not just the emotion between master and apprentice, just like the bond between himself and Obi-Wan, beautiful and shiny but delicate and sensitive...

Anakin didn't want to destroy this balance, the balance of the three, he adored, respected and loved Qui-Gon, and he didn't want to hurt the feelings of the two because of his own reasons.Samsam withdrew his hand, but his eyes rolled around, he would never let anyone who bullied Obi-Wan or made his master cry.

There are always some inconspicuous small hotels near the late-night bars where there are mixed races. The room at the end of the corridor on the third floor, where the boy's hand pressed the lightsaber on his waist, is indeed a good place to hide.

The door was knocked open suddenly, and the huge impact knocked Anakin against the wall, and a slender, bald-headed, exotic woman broke through the door.

"Get in the way!" He just glanced at the boy who fell to the ground, and swiped the long whip in his hand towards the window. There was a crisp sound of glass shattering, and he jumped out without looking back.

The creature chasing after him with a red lightsaber had a hideous face. Before jumping out of the window, he deliberately looked back at Anakin, his golden-red eyes showing surprise and doubt.

Exotic, glamorous and poisonous rose, that woman must be the one who hurt Obi-Wan, what about the other one?Intense, violent and chaotic force, powerful and very dangerous.

Obi-Wan's friend is being hunted down, will he be involved?Thinking of this, Anakin didn't care about the trouble with the foreign woman, he just wanted to go home quickly, and pay close attention to his master recently, so as not to let him leave the order.

Just as they were about to get home, a black figure hiding in the shadows suddenly attacked in a dark street. Sith, who had been chasing Ventress, locked his target on Anakin.

"Heaven's Chosen One," said Yinxie with a strange laugh, "what if he dies here?"

The violent offensive made Anakin flee in embarrassment, the seventh move?He has hardly studied the Juyo style, and he couldn't resist for a while, and suddenly regretted why he didn't listen to Obi-Wan, and learned Soretsu to the extreme. If it was his master, he would definitely be able to...

"Darth Maul," a familiar voice came suddenly, and the blue lightsaber blocked the young man's dangerous blow, "Your opponent is me."

"Obi-Wan!" Anakin was very worried. He was still in a bad state. In this situation, even if the two joined forces, they might not be able to escape unscathed. Why didn't they hide?Why come out?

The red and blue colors collided and stirred in the darkness, and Anakin, who wanted to help, couldn't intervene. Although the defensive effect of the three forms was excellent, and Obi-Wan had already practiced to the extreme, it required a lot of physical strength, and the attack power was not enough. Strong, once dragged into a protracted battle, the youth who are overwhelmed today because of sadness are gradually at a disadvantage.

"I'm still wondering why you are so inked." Ventress' long whip hit Darth Maul. "Since everyone is here, let's deal with him today."

Moore was attacked from the front and back, and Anakin's lightsaber was already lit up, ready to move, sneered, and suddenly jumped back

Hidden into the darkness and fled quickly.

"How could you lead someone to me without saying hello!" Obi-Wan put away his lightsaber and asked the female assassin angrily.

"What do I need to say hello to?" He rolled his eyes contemptuously, "Besides, his target this time is your little apprentice. If it weren't for you, who is still useful, who cares about your life."

"The target is Anakin? Why?" Subconsciously stood in front of the boy.

"How do I know, he just said something about the Chosen One, stop talking nonsense, Ben, are you coming or not?"

Obi-Wan clenched his fists tightly and fell silent.

"You have also seen that you or I alone cannot deal with him. Although I hate you very much, we must work together to complete this matter."

"I've already..." Biting her lower lip, she had a concern that she couldn't let go of.

"Are you going to say that you are a complete Jedi now? Then I will give you some more information." She raised her head, she knew what the weakness of the guy in front of her was, and she was not afraid that he would not follow, "Coruscant Have you read the news? Do you remember the Jedi Temple? Let me think about it, what else is there besides those rigid Jedi corpses who claim to 'all betray the Republic', oh yes, there are many children, the youngest can only walk yet How long, tsk tsk, corpses are everywhere, even a cold-blooded person like me can't see it. Do you know who did it?"

Obi-Wan felt dizzy, and his heart ached, little ones, they didn't spare youngsters.

"Obi-Wan..." Anakin supported the pale young man and grabbed his shoulder. He could clearly feel the other party's grief. His master seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

"I will go with you, but you have to listen to me in all actions." This decision is so difficult, defeating Moore requires a perfect plan by surprise, and Ventress knows that he is not as good as him, which is why they must join forces to win. .

"Anakin," he said earnestly, turning around, "tell Qui-Gon that I didn't go for revenge, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"No, I won't let you go." Panic froze in the air.

Ventress noticed this young boy again, and the Force was attracted by him to gather. What does Darth Maul mean by the Chosen Son?

Forcibly breaking off Anakin's fingers holding his arm, he couldn't bear them, but he had to do what he could, for Master Yoda who had taught him, for Dooku, for the young disciples, and for his children. At the time of the belief, this time, he wanted to do the right thing.

After Qui-Gon dealt with the identity of the three of them in Hasma, he used his personal relationship to contact the fastest cargo ship ticket to Tatooine, where they would pick up a surviving Jedi, and then go to Dago Ba rendezvous with Master Yoda.But at the door of the house, Anakin sat on the steps like a demon, which made him realize that the situation had changed.

"Did something happen to Obi-Wan?" Every syllable became extremely difficult to say, but Qui-Gon settled down, and it was the most difficult time to be judged by emotions.

"He went with that woman," Anakin repeated through gritted teeth, "and left us with that woman."

"Annie, you have to calm down," Qui-Gon said peacefully to him, "tell me where Obi-Wan went."

Pulled back to his senses by the warm and steady force, the boy's eyes were rarely reddened, and he told the truth.

Qui-Gon frowned, Obi-Wan is still too young after all, this decision is really too hasty, we should wait for him to come back to discuss together, the matter should be prioritized, we have to wait for the opportunity to defeat Moore, at present there are sweeps and purges everywhere, we still need to resettle Good Anakin, go meet up with Master Yoda and then go find Obi-Wan, hope he doesn't act so soon...

"Qui-Gon," Anakin looked very frightened, "I had a dream a few days ago, and it was all about Obi-Wan being killed. I always thought it was just a dream, because I cared too much about him and was too afraid of losing him, but what happened today After seeing this incident, I... I have a very bad premonition, will he..."

The elder's heart sank, and he didn't dare to think about it, "I'm going to find him right now, can you go to Tatooine alone and wait for me?"

Shaking his head violently, "Let's go find him together. The man named Darth Maul said that I am the chosen one. Since he came here to kill me, there must be a reason. I will definitely be useful."

Qui-Gon looked at Anakin with complicated eyes. He was pleased with the boy's bravery and intelligence, but worried about his safety. Moreover, his attachment and fetters to Obi-Wan seemed to be stronger than the general relationship between master and apprentice. profound.Then Kui Gang smiled relievedly, why not himself, they have long been a family, and they have been closer than the master-student relationship between the Jedi.Didn't I break all the principles after hearing his prophetic dream, just thinking about bringing Obi-Wan back safely right away?

The two simply packed their bags and immediately set off for Coruscant, the heart of the galaxy.
