Yea! A new update!
The plot thickens!
I especially like the way you described Obi-Wan's presence in the Force, and the detail with which you describe Palpatine's manipulation of politicians to suit his agenda.
Great work!

He sensed Kenobi arrive. Yes, the young Jedi’s power was near perfectly shielded in the Force, except that the darkness fled from him with each step he took. Palpatine waited. Soon, Kenobi was in his doorway.
I had to take a brief step away from the story at this point, my dread of a confrontation was so intense. Such beautiful description here.
As Kenobi left, Palpatine allowed himself a satisfied smile. If only he could be there when the young senator found out that his current crusade in the senate was futile, thanks to his late mentor. The military creation act was meaningless because an army already existed for the Republic, and the only two who could say anything in their defense had both been dead for a long time. The ensuing scandal was going to be glorious.
Eep! Now something else for the Jedi to worry about. The Sith are so far ahead of them that all it seems the Jedi can do is react to well-laid plans. Not a good situation.
I'm eagerly awaiting more.

Valairy_Scot
- Unfortunately, Palpatine always seems to be a few steps ahead.
dianethx
- Palpatine just seems like the perfect Sith. He's content to wait and be patient and plod along with little gains that ultimately give him his goal.
OBI-LOVE
- Things are about to get really rough for Obi-Wan -- not that they have ever truly been that easy.
smoke20ts
- I think it is Palpatine's patience and ability to set up a situation long in advance that makes him most dangerous.
obsessedwithSW
- It does sadden me greatly what will happen to Kitab's name. I think it is something that will make this whole situation more difficult for Obi-Wan.
Gkilkenny
- Palpatine just wouldn't be Palpatine if he weren't despicable.
Itachi-Uchiha
- I love the dynamic between Xan and Dooku in this. Xan is very careful to keep his position with his master safe.
FVZA-Colonel
- Shak did make an interesting argument, and I can't say that it was the part that Kitab necessarily had a problem with. I think Kitab was most put off with the idea of doing it behind the Senate's back. Then again, we all know how effectively this particular Senate moves. I think that Palpatine understood that as well.
Kivas
- I think that the senators against the Military Creation Act pretty much knew that it was signing a declaration of war.
DountCooku
- I think Xan knows that Dooku has the potential to very dangerous. I think that is why above everything, he intends to keep Dooku away from any prolonged direct contact with Sidious.
Ocelotl_Nesto
- More on that next post.
bek
- I think at some point, Palpatine will start setting off alarm bells. Not sure if we are quite there yet with Obi-Wan. I do, however, think he will be aware that he has been set up.
Healer_Leona
- Evil Palpy is in some ways very fun to write. I think he is most eerie in cases like this where he is watching his handiwork play out and just giving it a little nudge from afar.
Jaira
- Yes, he is despicable.
PadawanKitara
- Geonosis is there, all right. Not so sure if the nature of it will play out the same.
VaderLVR
- I think this is what unnerves Palpy most about Obi-Wan, maybe in both canon and this AU, he is so full of the light. Just that makes him a big threat to the Sith.
Independence1776
- Oh yes, things are going to snowball here.
Spiritweaver
- I think that's what the Jedi in this universe don't understand yet. They know the Sith are there and have a plan, but the Sith are far more entrenched than they realize.
LOBO
- I am sure even in the canon universe, there were many little manipulations that occurred to get Palpatine to the point he was at. He knew how to work the system.
EGKenobi
- Thanks.
LadyLunas
- I think the main advantage the Jedi have in this situation is that the Sith have no clue how many of them there are and how well prepared they are for war. We will have to wait and see how this Palpatine plans to use his army.
AngryWarrior
- Thanks for bumping this up a couple of times.

So sorry this has taken so long to update. DRL has just been overwhelming lately, but I am finally finding time to write. Thanks for hanging in there.
Chapter 68
Padme stifled another giggle as the lift carried them up toward their destination. It could have been her imagination, but it seemed as though Anakin’s ears had a slight tinge of red. He turned and looked at her with pitiful, pleading eyes and an irresistible jut of his bottom lip. She squeezed his hand.
“You aren’t the first person to ever receive a warning from a patrol droid for excessive speed,” she said before the giggle she had fought so hard to contain finally burst free.
“Garen and Byram will never let this one go … and when my master hears about it …” Anakin groaned.
“At least it was just a warning,” she said.
The lift stopped, and they stepped out into the corridor. Padme had to admit that it was nice to be leaving the Senate district and the stress of galactic politics for a little while to have dinner in the home of a retired professor. Qui-Gon had seemed to know just what everyone needed when he extended the invitation.
As the door to the small apartment opened, a hint of what awaited teased their senses. An exquisite aroma billowed out into the corridor. Anakin seemed to not notice, still looking very guilty as the door closed behind them. Padme could feel another giggle welling up inside. Anakin looked utterly betrayed when it bubbled out right as Qui-Gon stepped out of the kitchen.
“What’s so funny?” the Jedi master asked.
“Go ahead and tell him,” Anakin sulked.
“Anakin received a warning for excessive speed.”
“Imagine that,” Qui-Gon replied dryly.
“I got us here safely.” A lopsided, cocky grin tugged at Anakin’s lips as he offered his defense. “And, at least I beat the traffic.”
“Please try to remember that I am the one who must face Master Yoda if you get yourself killed,” Qui-Gon chided gently. “There was no need to rush. Dinner isn’t quite ready.”
“Good.” Anakin looked down at the attire that identified him as one of Padme’s guards. “I’d kind of like to get out of this uniform.”
As Anakin disappeared down the hallway, Padme followed Qui-Gon back to the kitchen. “Do you need any help? Contrary to what rumors may circulate, the former queen of Naboo does know her way around a kitchen.”
“No, no,” Qui-Gon protested, shooing her to a nearby chair. “I have everything under control. You sit and rest and keep me company.”
Padme settled down at the small table, glancing around the room. Anakin had been staying with Qui-Gon since coming to Coruscant – at least, when he wasn’t at Padme’s apartment. But it was her first time to visit the home Obi-Wan had grown up in and spoke of so warmly. She could see why.
“I was expecting Obi-Wan, Byram, and Garen as well.”
Qui-Gon had turned back toward his cooking so she couldn’t judge his expression, but the concern in his voice was evident. Both Obi-Wan and Byram had been working absurdly long hours as of late, perhaps avoiding returning to empty homes while their families were away. It was a main reason Qui-Gon had planned for a small dinner.
“Obi-Wan had a meeting with the Chancellor earlier today. He said not to wait up on him. He just needed a little more time. Garen and Byram stayed with him. They will be along later.”
“I hope so,” Qui-Gon murmured.
Padme sneaked a peek back down the hallway, wondering what was keeping Anakin. She turned back only to find that she had been caught. Qui-Gon was studying her, leaving her heart pounding hard in her chest. She and Anakin had not been as careful since their arrival on the Senate landing pad – a few hugs here, brushing hands against each other, Anakin placing his arm around her. Obi-Wan and Byram and Garen knew how the couple felt about each other, but what might have only been a suspicion among the elders likely had to be certainty by now.
“So, have you and Anakin started thinking about a wedding date yet?”
Qui-Gon turned back to cooking, which was fortunate. Padme could feel heat burning in her cheeks and was certain she was blushing.
“No, we haven’t,” she said only after finally gaining the composure that had taken years as a politician to be able to obtain. Deciding honesty was best, she added, “there is too much uncertainty right now.”
“I see,” was all Qui-Gon said in a simple, clipped response.
“For one, we don’t know when Anakin will be knighted,” Padme continued.
“True.”
“Anakin also fears that a more public relationship will place me in further danger, especially now that one of the Sith knows he is Jedi.” She let out a sigh. “Besides, any courtship and marriage is likely to be a spectacle. I don’t want to subject Anakin to that kind of scrutiny just yet,” Padme said softly.
“It seems as though you both have given this much thought.” A smile curved the older Jedi’s lips as he returned to tending the pots and pans on the cooking unit. “There has actually been much talk among the elders about the two of you.”
She resisted the urge to let out a groan. Her heart was now thundering in her chest.
“It might interest you to know that there have been several cases before where certain ‘rules’ have been bent when the elders feel as though the Force is prompting.”
“I didn’t know …”
“Yes, Obi-Wan’s parents, for one.” He turned and offered a reassuring smile. “I just wanted you to know, that as an elder, you two will have my blessing when the time is right.”
Padme felt as though a brick had been lifted from her chest. The elders knew and it was all right. Yes, the time was not yet right, but both Anakin and Padme knew that. She opened her mouth to say something, when she noticed that Qui-Gon suddenly seemed agitated. Padme had seen it happen with Obi-Wan and Anakin before, both of them sensing something she could neither understand nor see.
“Qui-Gon, what’s wrong?”
He remained silent, allowing his eyes to slide shut. “Anakin,” he said softly.
Long legs ate up the distance to the bedroom. Padme struggled to keep up with him. Anakin was resting against the bed. He had managed to get his boots off and shirt unbuttoned before he had apparently slid down to a sitting position next to the bed. Qui-Gon crouched down next to him.
“What’s wrong with him,” Padme asked, failing to hide the concern that crept into her voice as she rushed to his side. Anakin’s eyes were open, but unblinking, and his breathing was shallow.
“He’s okay,” Qui-Gon assured her. “It’s a vision. I hope Obi-Wan isn’t alone,” he murmured.
“Why not?”
“Chances are he is seeing something as well.”
***
Obi-Wan didn’t remember ever seeing the sky over Dantooine so dark. Even on nights, moons and stars shone through brightly. He was standing outside the training center next to a large blba tree at the entrance, one that had been his nemesis as a child. He wasn’t alone. On his right stood Yoda. On his left stood Anakin, the Force’s Chosen One. The young man was ablaze in glory, luminous.
“The storm comes,” came Yoda’s monotone voice.
The gentle prairies that Obi-Wan had known since childhood were not to be seen, swallowed up in churning winds and a growing, dense black fog. The darkness had descended. The storm was upon them. Obi-Wan could feel the wind tearing at his cloak. Dust and debris and frayed blades of torn lavender grass pelted his face. He resisted the urge to close his eyes, knowing that what he was about to see was too important. He was drawn to a sound he heard in the distance – the echoes of thousands of footfalls as one by one, a horde of white emerged from the shroud of fog and began to march on the building. Everywhere they touched, the darkness spread.
Obi-Wan’s hand went to his side. In unison, three blades split the darkness. The sound echoed far behind him. He turned to find the training center no longer there, replaced by a sea of ignited sabers – an army of light.
“The storm comes.”
***
Garen was surprised how little time it had taken him to cover the path from his office to the one belonging to Obi-Wan. He had felt the disturbance – not a specific danger, but a disturbance nonetheless. He arrived at the office to find Byram sitting by a shaky Obi-Wan’s side.
“What happened?”
“I’ll explain later,” Obi-Wan replied. “We need to go.”
“You saw something,” Garen stated, receiving only a nod in return. He let out a deep sigh as they hurried from the office, wondering what the Force might be warning of them of now.
***
Anakin sat on the side of the sleep couch, accepting the glass of water Qui-Gon offered. “Do you want to talk about it?” the older man asked.
“I don’t understand what I saw,” Anakin replied, shaking his head from side to side. “It was like some sort of army marching on the training center on Dantooine. I am hoping that Obi-Wan saw more or can tell us more.”
Anakin sat and relayed the exact events of the vision as he had seen it. When he was done, he watched as Qui-Gon sat in contemplative silence. Padme had a look of horror on her face. The memory of an army marching on something she held dear was still a fresh wound, even though over ten years had passed since the Battle of Naboo.
The front door opened and three sets of feet hurried down the hall. When Anakin’s eyes met Obi-Wan’s, he knew that Obi-Wan understood exactly what he had seen, perhaps too much.
“You have to distance yourself from me politically,” Obi-Wan said abruptly, directing his attention to Padme.
“Distance myself? Why?” she asked.
“I’ve been set up – we all have.” Obi-Wan sunk down to the floor and rested his head back against the wall. “The debate in Senate – it’s a charade – it doesn’t matter …”
“Of course it matters,” Padme protested. Her voice took on a fierceness most often saved for the Senate arena. "We are gaining more support everyday."
“I was called into Palpatine’s office today,” Obi-Wan explained. “I was to investigate some accounting errors from when Senator Kitab was still serving. Senator Kitab and Senator Shak used their authority to divert funds and contracted a clone army.”
“Are you certain?” Qui-Gon asked.
"I don't understand ... Olin Kitab." Obi-Wan let out a weary sigh. "I knew the man well, and he would not have done something like this."
"Force suggestion?" Anakin tossed out.
"I don't know," Obi-Wan replied. "I would have thought him stronger than that."
"We already know that he was killed by the Sith," Qui-Gon added. He sat down next to Obi-Wan, draping an arm over his shoulders. "Maybe this was why."
"Whatever happened in the past, an army of the Republic now exists," Obi-Wan said softly. “I spent most of the evening speaking with the Prime Minister of a planet named Kamino. It’s real. They showed me training grounds via holo. There were rows upon rows of troops – all dressed in white armor.”
Anakin looked up, his eyes meeting Obi-Wan's. The image of a marching horde of soldiers flashed through his mind.
“The Senate still has to vote to use it,” Padme said. "We have to stop it there."
“That’s why you have to distance yourself,” Obi-Wan said. “It’s going to get ugly.”
“I won’t do that.” Padme shot back. “I know how ugly it can get, but they can’t blame you for something that happened before you were even a senator."
“I was Olin Kitab’s aide and protégé. I assure you, I will at the very least be investigated.”

HMM
the approval of Anakins relationship seems to bode well for him in this AU, but the clone army and future Senate hearings will definitely get Obi kicked out of the Senate. Perhaps it will land him in a general's chair.

Aw, what a nice and perfectly normal "family" embarrassment scene. I absolutely loved that - too bad it got spoiled by a vision.
Hmmm, what dirt is going to hit Obi-Wan? Veeeeeery interesting.

Padme sure seemed to find it funny that Anakin got warned for speeding and Qui-Gon didn't seem surprised at all. I guess Anakin still has a little bit of a lead foot.

Wow! What a powerful and disturbing vision. It certainly looks as if things are going to get much more dangerous for the Jedi.
Well done!

I just found this AU and read it all in one sitting. I couldn't stay away -- the events of this story had me sitting on the edge of my seat, and when the latest post ended, well...let's just say that I just about screamed in frustration, and leave it at that.
May I be added to the PM list? I don't want to miss an update to this amazing fanfic!

Yay for updates! I really like the dynamic between Anakin and Padme. It's nice that they don't have to keep their feelings totally hidden (not like they were that good at it anyway
). It's also good that the Jedi are getting a little bit of advanced warning about the clone army this time around.

I loved your vision- so gripping! The deviation from the Kenobi-Skywalker duo to the three will be very exciting! IT will be interesting to see their place in events and what kind of relationship Obi-Wan and Anakin will have in the climax of this story.
I liked that Padme and Anakin's love story is still geeky some things shouldnt change from cannon!

One of my favorite passages in this chapter. Stunning in its apparent simplicity and utter depths. Lovely.
I also loved the banter between Anakin, Padme, and Qui-Gon. I know I've said this before, and I'll probably say it again, but I love the fact that Jedi are able to have families. It just really draws out the honest emotions of people who care deeply for each other.
Poor Obi-Wan! Palpatine's utterly loving this.
