Whoa! Wow. They really laid into each other didn't they, no holds barred, but then it was porbably coming anyway. It was about time they did something, I guess the tension just hit a certain point.

So Padme reckons they're brothers, well, from her pov that's a good guess. So has Obi-Wan filled her in, or does she still think they're brothers? Now that could get really crazy.

I also found her realisation on Siri and Obi-Wan intereting, is it just a side thought or will it make an appearance later?

great post happy

AH! AH!! Cliffie!
Anyways, wow! I just needed that fight, great job with the interaction too And lol, Padme thinks he's his brother *shakes head*

Oh, I enjoyed writing their fight. I thought it was a good way to break the tension between them and help show how close a life these two Skywalkers have had.

RebelMom

Seems the only way to get through to a Skywalker is rap them upside the head. At least Ben is making some headway.

Oh yeah. Beat them sensible is what I say.

PadawanKitara

I agree with you. Rebelmom. Give him a good whap to let the message sink in

Too true.

JediFalcon

cliffie!!!! Padme thinks Ben is his brother? okkkkkkkk. Shes got one part right, hes a Skywalker but doesn't know that Ben is her future grandson.

It was something that made sense to me. That it was very possible for Shmi to have another son before she married Cliegg.

It will make an appearance, but not for some time into the story. Thanks.

I'm really trying to write Padme likeable here, because I can't stand her the rest of the time. She just bugs me, I don't know why. Time travel. It should enter more peoples minds.

Up and I want to see if Anakin chooses to not kill his future grandson and to see if Padme learns that Ben is her future grandson and learn that her baby son Luke is Ben's future father. Till next time, later!

Date Posted: 1/16/05 9:05pm Subject: RE: Repercussions of Time 01/09/05 Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ben Skywalker? Epi III AU
Thanks all for reading. Here's the next post.


He thought Obi-Wan would never let him go, he kept a hand on the back of his tunic and guided
him through the bass corridors as though Ben were a three-year-old child with a proclivity for
wandering off. It did not help matters that as a three-year-old, he’d taken his fare share of
unparented jaunts. The few cuts and bruises he’d attained from his fight with Anakin flamed as
their hurried pace whipped over them. For the first time, in a long time, he felt tired and beaten
in a good way.

Not the desperate struggle he’d lived through with the Yuuzhan Vong, the battle with Anakin
might have been one of the training exercises he’d taken part in with his mother when she’d been
teaching him hand to hand. Minor cuts were expected when teaching a child to defend itself
against a race that would hold nothing back from a child. This was the first time that he could
practice as he once had and not worry about his life.

Youthful hubris kept him from believing that Anakin would kill him, that the goodness his father
had sensed, was still in the younger man. And he’d been right. He’d offered the choice to his
grandfather and Anakin had hesitated. Despite the Emperor’s orders, he’d hesitated.

Then Obi-Wan and Padme burst in, disturbing that moment of confusion, that moment of testing
thought. Perhaps that was the most painful of all his wounds. That he’d been so close and that it
all had been shattered by the good intentions of those who cared for Anakin more then Ben could
ever.

Obi-Wan took him to the quarters they shared with Master Yoda and tossed him into the nearest
conforming chair. Sinking into the fabric, the plush under him eased some of the aches. He’d
gone soft with Anakin, but the battle had still taken it’s toll on his weakened body. Ben looked
up as the older Jedi began to pace. He wondered if this certain build up to lecture was a Jedi
thing, or if Obi-Wan had somehow passed it on to Luke Skywalker.

“I know things looked bad when you and Padme came in,” Ben started to explain.

“Looked bad? Looked bad?” Obi-Wan echoed in disbelief. “I cannot believe you have the nerve
to utter such an inept statement.”

Closing his eyes, Ben sighed. His fatigue was keeping him from forming his perfect speech that
would explain his reasons to the man who had been mentor to not only his father but to his
grandfather. How could explain that emotions had been building, that if they did not have this
face off now, it would come at less inopportune time, and that it had caused Anakin a moment of
deliberation he might not have had otherwise? Would Obi-Wan understand even if he found
those words?

“Are all Skywalkers capable of ignoring me as I rant or is this an ability shared between you and
Anakin alone,” Obi-Wan questioned heatedly.

Ben forced his eyes open. “I...”

“You came through time to just beat him into submission?” Obi-Wan asked. “What makes you
think that this fight of yours would have delivered any different an outcome then the one you
broke into? You were reckless, thoughtless, and ignorant to the power that Anakin holds. The
very characteristics that lead about his downfall. Did you come here only to be swayed to his
way of thinking?”

With an internal groan, Ben wished had to admit Obi-Wan was partially correct. He had not
thought through his actions, had not thought what memories would stir in Obi-Wan as another
battled raged, very similar to his own with Anakin on Mustafar.

“Palpatine ordered him to kill me, Obi-Wan,” Ben admitted. “I had no way out of the fight.”

“Did you know this before you brought him to Padme?” Obi-Wan asked, suddenly frowning.

Forcing his voice to be steady, he answered, “Yes.”

“I do not know if I can trust you with him now. Palpatine is good at deception Ben, he is a
Master of it as well as the Dark Side. Can you tell me with certainty that your battle with
Anakin, your physical evidence of grievance, was not what the Sith wanted from the start. To
bring those ill emotions to the forefront?” Obi-Wan stopped his pacing and looked at Ben head
on with such a look of disappointment, Ben could not help but wince. “You will not see Anakin
again, until I know it is safe.”

Ben leaped from his chair. He’d been willingly sympathetic to Obi-Wan for too long. “Is that
an order ‘Master Kenobi’? Because I don’t take orders from anyone. You have no right to take
him away from me. He is my family. Which is more then you can say.” He wondered at his
words even as they came from his lips.

Stricken, Obi-Wan looked as though Ben had impaled him with his own lightsaber. “So that’s
the dividing mark with this family. Those who are bound by blood and those who are not.”

“Obi-Wan that wasn’t what I meant,” Ben tried to smooth over, but knew that his words had hit
harder then perhaps even the older Jedi had anticipated.

“Yes, you did,” Obi-Wan said softly. He stilled himself, giving his head a quick shake. “I am
not his father. I raised him, loved him, despite my better judgement. Came to the point that I
even convinced myself that we had passed over those bad patches in his youth. My blindness has
cleared, has yours?”

“I’m not blind,” Ben assured him. “But you cannot take him from me. He is my purpose in the
Force. And...” The words stuck in his throat.

Eyebrows hiked up on Obi-Wan’s forehead. “And?”

“And I cannot let down those I loved. Nor can I let you and the rest of the Jedi fall to isolation
and near extinction,” Ben admitted. He hated having to say this next part but it was something
both his parents had tried to drill into him. “And I know I cannot do that alone. As powerful as
the Skywalker line is, we are still only one line. There is not dividing line, Obi-Wan, or should I
call you Ben?”

Surprise flamed on the older Jedi’s face. “How did you know?”

Rolling his eyes, Ben smiled with an edge of embellished sarcasm. “Who did you think I was
named after, Ben Kenobi? That was what you called yourself before you revealed your identity
to my father. I figured there was an import to the name”

“It was mine from before I was brought to the Temple,” the older man elucidated, nostalgia
hazing his eyes. “Not even Anakin knew my true name.”

“Which is why you would use it as a decoy,” Ben deduced. “We are family, Obi-Wan. In so
many ways I can see my father in you. Or you in him and even in Anakin. My words were not
only unfair but knowingly wrong.” Gritting his teeth, Ben managed to get the last part out. “And
I ask your forgiveness.”

A wry smile turned the lips of his older companion. “You do not ask such very often do you, my
young friend?”

“Well, I don’t like to make it a habit,” Ben murmured grudgingly.

“Something I’m sure your life has not lent to correction,” Obi-Wan agreed kindly. “Therefore,
knowing what it is costing you, I will accept.”

“And about Anakin?” Ben asked, knowing he was being far too acquiescent.

Obi-Wan did not deliberate for long. “Promise to inform me of any other orders Palpatine gives
that you over hear and we will figure the best way to deal with them. No more singular strategies.
You are still young and need the observations of a Master.”

Horror filled Ben at that moment. “Does Master Yoda know about my little production with
Anakin?”

A genuine chuckled escaped Obi-Wan. “I should probably give him the full detail of it. But I
think it will be a much more fitting punishment if I have you do it yourself.”

“Are you sure you aren’t a father?” Ben said with a feigned glare. “I’ll just have to make sure I
do it when he isn’t carrying that blasted walking stick.”

“Oh, we should probably talk about Padme,” Obi-Wan introduced a new subject.

Ben groaned as he sat back down into the chair he’d relinquished in his anger. “How’s that?”
“She thinks you’re Anakin’s brother,” Obi-Wan said this with an inordinate amount of pleasure.
There was certainly something sadistic about the Jedi Master.

Turning to lock glances with him, Ben asked, “And you encouraged this belief?”

“What else was I to do? She pointed out things that I would have seem a complete dolt not to
have noticed and... well, it was better that then explain the fact that you are from the future,” Obi-
Wan explained. “At least now we have a reasonable explanation for your existence.”

“Except she knows that I am dying,” Ben released.

“You told her?”

“I needed her to spirit my blood away from the healers,” he explained with an air that suggested
Obi-Wan should have done that himself. “That poison is highly contagious and could have killed
a number of the medical staff if they had not known to be careful of it.”

“But you disposed of it,” Obi-Wan asked.

“Burnt it,” Ben said. “Completely incinerated.”




Quelee Zhan held up a vial of blood from the patient Ben Jade. She was sure she had never
heard of a Jedi Apprentice by his name and there was something suspicious about the Padawan.
Her suspicions had only risen when she’d seen Senator Amidala - or was it Skywalker now? -
sneak the vials of his blood not being tested out of the medical lab.

It seemed a number of questions rose in accordance with Padawan Jade. One of them was his
high midi-chlorian count. She was sure it was on par with Anakin Skywalker’s and the anomaly
in his blood that she could not identify against any known toxin.

Uh-oh. Nothing good can come of this. If Ben's blood is really that lethal then I hope that the healers don't get infected, but I expect by now that if it isn't too late, it soon will be.

A nice touch ben explaining where his name came from. Maybe it will help Obi-Wan understand a little more what he means to the Skywalkers. Anakin's fall had to have hurt, to have stung his confidence a lot. But you don't name a child after someone who failed. So maybe it will be some comfort to Obi-Wan.

Great chap.

I can just imagine how strange it would look to a Jedi to see a senator such as Padme sneeking around with the blood samples of mysterious padawans. Kinda funny, really. Great interaction between Ben & Ben by the way.

As always, engrossing and nerve-wracking. shock I really feel for Ben, he's in such a difficult situation, with a lot depending on what he does. And it's a situation with which he has no experience - even dealing with other Jedi is strange and new, I think. It reminds me of a line in some NJO novel, where Luke wonders if Obi-Wan had ever felt this way on Tatooine, trying to guide Luke - wondering what to influence, feeling everything change with every action, uncertain of what things would bring, and if it would all go horribly wrong because of some small mistake.
