Saga Will of the Force (AU; A/P, Obi, Palpy, Yoda) **Completed** Important Sequel Information 6/4/06

Excellent! Somehow I knew Obi-Wan was going to appear to Anakin as he did Luke.
Curious that Yoda and Mace are there now.

 

Oh be joyful! He's baaaack! complete with some great advice that Anakin HAS to hear! *sigh* guess a master's job is never done, hmm...

Great job! As VL said the gentle advice of 'Ben' was just right- excellent portrayal! And now the stage is set...for what?
Can't wait to find out!

 

Great update. I do like this story - it's given me an idea for one as well>

As for Obi-Wan - cool that he's back. I kinda thought it would be Qui Gonn initially.

 

?I?ll always be with you Anakin, that will never change." How very sweet! It makes me want to give both boys a big hug.

I'm glad to see Obi-Wan, even though he's now a blue ghostie. The conversation between him and Anakin was touching, though a bit bittersweet, especially when Obi-Wan confesses there was much more he wanted to do in life. Hopefully Obi's ghost will stick around to help Anakin realize his destiny, like he did with Luke.

Hmm, what are Yoda and Mace doing there? And they know of Obi-Wan's ghost.... I sense something afoot.

p.s. I'd loved to be added to the PM list.

 

Yay! Obi-Wan?s back! Sort of?

Obi-Wan laughed. ?You don?t need my guidance anymore. You never listened to me much in the first place.?

LOL! How true.

Obi-Wan chuckled. ?I?ve known about your feelings for Senator Amidala from the beginning,? he replied. ?They were too strong for you to hide from me, but it was amusing to watch you try.?

Hee hee.

?Listen to Master Obi-Wan, you should,? came a familiar voice from behind them.

Anakin whirled around to find Yoda and Mace Windu gazing at them calmly.

Ha! Yay!

Great update! I really liked Obi-Wan?s little chat with Anakin.

 

Glad to see Obi-Wan back, even if he's only a ghost like figure.

I hope Anakin listens to his former Master. He's right. Anakin and his family
will never be safe until the Sith Lord is found and defeated.

Hmmmm....I wonder what Yoda and Master Windu are doing in Wukkar.

Great update as always!

 

This made my frigging day. Obi's back, in a sort of Benlike character that I really like. And Yoda and Mace came to set Anakin straight. Good. Now they need to take out Palpy, name Luke after Obi, and everything will be good. I think it's brilliant how you brought Obi back. Oh wait, I already said that.

Great Update

 

I just found this and its time to go. I want on the pm list. Please

It's ssoooo sad!

 

You ladies definitely make a marvelous team. The story grips my attention and keeps me interested. I love how it is written too. You both should get this published LOL. Anyway, absolutely wonderful story! Keep up the good work dudes!

 

jacen20005 Ha! I knew it

Knew what?

Great update.

Thanks.


VaderLVR64 Hooray! My Obi is back, I don't care if he's a blue ghostie!

Was there ever any doubt?

You can?t do everything Anakin, and you can?t save everyone. You may be the Chosen One, but you still have limitations. You need to learn to trust, Anakin. Trust that you can destroy the Sith, trust the Jedi will always be there to help you and your family. Trust the will of the Force.?

That's always been part of Anakin's problem. Loved the exchange between these two. Obi-Wan's gentle humor was exacty right!

Thank you so much.


FitJedi OH I loved it! SO well written, and emotional. You give us an inside look into Anakins feelings.

Thanks. We're glad you enjoyed it so much.

Hopefully Obi-Wan, Yoda and Mace can talk some more sense into him.

If anyone can, it's those three.


SHADOW_MASTER_W Excellent!

Thanks.

Somehow I knew Obi-Wan was going to appear to Anakin as he did Luke.

You did? How did you know?

Curious that Yoda and Mace are there now.

Very curious indeed.


Stella_Ripple Oh be joyful! He's baaaack!

Yes he is!! In all his splendid glory.


Darth_Target Great update. I do like this story - it's given me an idea for one as well

Thanks. Glad to give you a plot bunny. Run with it.


MegumiFuu ?I?ll always be with you Anakin, that will never change."

How very sweet! It makes me want to give both boys a big hug.

Me too. Lets go do that.

Hmm, what are Yoda and Mace doing there? And they know of Obi-Wan's ghost.... I sense something afoot.

Your senses are sharp, young one.

I'd loved to be added to the PM list.

Consider yourself added.


Idrelle_Miocovani Yay! Obi-Wan?s back! Sort of?

Yep, he's baaaaaack.

Great update! I really liked Obi-Wan?s little chat with Anakin.

Thank you.


JediArym I hope Anakin listens to his former Master. He's right. Anakin and his family
will never be safe until the Sith Lord is found and defeated.

Great observation.

Great update as always!

Thanks so much.


MasterEnder This made my frigging day.

Glad we could help.

Great Update

Thank you.


Lea_El I want on the pm list.

You're on it now.


TheDarkSideAwaitsYou You ladies definitely make a marvelous team.

Well thank you so much.

Anyway, absolutely wonderful story! Keep up the good work

We'll certainly try to keep it as good as you guys think it has been.

 

Did I miss a memo about this story? This is too good to have kept a secret. Next time borrow Yoda's gimmer stick and hit me in the head and say read this. I love it. I havent gotten anything done today but read it.

I loved it when Yoda whapped Anikin in the shins and then on the forehead. Then announced the matter is settled. Priceless.

I love the way you write Ani and Padme.

Ben,I wanted to say 'whip him' to Ani.

I have wondered from the first time I saw TESB, why does a Force ghost need to sit down?

Anikin, Obi_Wan, Mace and Yoda now that a meeting I'd like to attend.

This is really soooo good.

 

Chapter 8

“Master Obi-Wan; good to see you again it is, young one,” Yoda greeted with a nod towards the younger man.

“Masters,” Obi-Wan responded with a smile as he bowed deeply.

“What are you doing here?” Anakin blurted.

“For your return to Coruscant, the time has come,” Yoda proclaimed, his steely gaze resting on Anakin. “Surrounds the Senate, the dark side does. Need you we do to locate the source.”

Anakin blinked in surprise. “So you believe Count Dooku was right when he said the Senate was under the control of the Sith Lord?”

“We can’t be certain,” Mace replied, a sigh in his voice. “But we’ve all felt a disturbance in the Force and we’ve traced the origin back to the Senate but none of the Jedi can get close enough to the inner circles to fully investigate. That’s where we need you. You are closer to the Chancellor than anyone.”

“You think Chancellor Palpatine is involved somehow with the disturbance you’re sensing?” Anakin questioned disbelievingly.

“We don’t know,” Mace confessed easily. “That’s why we need you, Anakin.”

“He’s been a good friend to me ever since I first came to Coruscant and I’ve never sensed any deception in him.”

“How neutral are you when it comes to the Chancellor?” Mace challenged.

Anakin frowned. “I don’t need to be neutral. He’s my friend. I trust him.”

“Be mindful of your feelings, Anakin,” Obi-Wan interjected. “They do you credit, but they could be made to serve the dark side.”

Anakin gasped as he turned to face his former mentor. “Are you saying Chancellor Palpatine is evil? That he’s involved with the Sith Lord?”

Obi-Wan was silent for a moment. “All is not what it appears in the Senate,” he finally answered. “You are our best hope at uncovering its hidden secrets.”

“Why me?” Anakin asked. ”It’s not like you to demand anything from me, so why now?”

“Close you are to the Chancellor,” Yoda responded. “Keep tabs on him you can. Report back to the council with what you have learned.”

“You want me to spy on the Chancellor?!” Anakin exclaimed. “I won’t.”

“Afraid of what you might discover?” Yoda inquired gently.

“Of course not,” he insisted. “He’s never shown any signs of being anything other than what he seems. I just think any investigation of him is a waste of time.”

“That is a decision for the Council to make,” Mace reprimanded in a stern voice.

Anakin glared at him. “You really believe the Chancellor is hiding something?”

“Until everyone is investigated, certain we cannot be,” Yoda declared.

“I can’t believe it,” Anakin sighed. ”It makes no sense for Chancellor Palpatine to be involved. He’s been in the Temple, we’d have sensed something from him then if there was anything to sense. I think you’re both…,” he paused,”…I think all three of you are reaching in this instance.”

“Then return to Coruscant and clear his name,” Mace challenged. “Then we can all be as certain of the fact that Chancellor Palpatine is not involved as you seem to be.”

*******************************************************

Padme rested comfortably on the plush sofa in the stately villa she and Anakin had been staying in for the last month. Her hand gently caressed the baby in her womb as her thoughts drifted to the life she dreamed of on Naboo with Anakin and their baby.

The Lake retreat would make the perfect place to have their child and finally heal from Obi-Wan’s loss. As much as Anakin needed to be on Wukkar finding a way to say good-bye to his mentor, Padme knew he would not be able to truly put his life as a Jedi behind him until his new one as a father and husband began.

The sound of the arrival bell chiming snapped her out of her daydream. She wearily struggled to her feet and shuffled to the door.

“Chancellor Palpatine,” she greeted, clearly shocked to see him standing before her with two senatorial guards.

“Good afternoon, Padme,” he replied with a warm smile. “I’ve come to speak with Anakin if he’s available.”

“He’s not here right now,” she answered, holding the door open. “Would you like to come in and wait? He shouldn’t be too much longer.”

“Yes, thank you.”

She escorted Palpatine and his guards into the spacious living room.

“I see congratulations are in order,” he said, referring to her pregnancy as he settled into the chair nearest the sofa.

Padme smiled softly. “Thank you. We’re very happy.”

Palpatine studied her for a moment. “When do you and Anakin expect to return to Coruscant?”

Padme blinked in surprise at the blunt question. “Well...ah, we don’t have a timetable,” she answered. “We’re actually going to Naboo soon to have the baby.”

“What about your senatorial duties?” Palpatine pushed. “You have a responsibility to the people of Naboo and to the Senate.”

Padme winced. “Jar-Jar is filling in for me,” She explained. “Queen Jamilla told me I could take as much time as I needed...,” her voice trailed off.

“What if you are needed now?” Palpatine interrupted.

Padme’s eyes widened. “What’s happened?”

Palpatine sighed deeply. “I hate to bother you with this, especially now,” he said, eyeing her stomach sympathetically.

“Just tell me,” Padme demanded.

Palpatine leaned forward in his chair. “I’ve become aware of a plot to overthrow me as Chancellor,” he paused while the words sank in.

“By whom?” Padme whispered, shock written all over her face.

“I’m not sure exactly, but I believe several senators may be involved and I could use your help in exposing them.”

“You want me to spy on my colleagues?” Padme gasped. “I can’t do that.”

“I’m afraid it’s the only way,” Palpatine assured her. “Believe me, I would never ask you to do this if I had any other alternative.”

“Why me?” Padme asked. “I’m sure Senator Organa or...”

“You are well liked and respected by nearly everyone in the Senate,” Palpatine pointed out. “And, quite frankly, I can’t be sure Senator Organa isn’t in on the plot.”

“I can’t believe that,” Padme replied, shaking her head. “Senator Organa has been a good friend to me over the years. He wouldn’t be involved in something so sinister and underhanded.”

“I’m sure you can clear his name,” Palpatine hinted.

Padme thought for a moment. “I wish I could help you…,” she began,”…but Anakin and our baby are my first priority now. I can’t return to the Senate.”

Her voice was full of regret and Palpatine sensed his chance slipping away.

“Perhaps you should discuss this with Anakin first,” he suggested. “He’ll be right there with you and we have the finest medical facilities on Coruscant.”

“No,” Padme answered firmly, her mind already having been made up. “Anakin doesn’t need any more stress right now. I won’t have him returning to Coruscant before he’s ready.”

She rose from the sofa. “I’m sorry, Chancellor.”

Palpatine’s eyes narrowed in furry. “No,” he hissed. “But you will be.”

“Wha...?” she never saw the blow coming.

*******************************************************

“I can’t leave Padme,” Anakin argued.

“Safe she will be with her family on Naboo,” Yoda responded. Anakin’s shoulders slumped.

“Master,” he said, turning to Obi-Wan. “I promised Padme I was done with the Jedi, that we would go to Naboo and begin a new life. How can I leave her now?”

“Anakin, you can’t keep Padme or your children safe as long as the Sith Lord continues his reign. Sooner or later you will be pulled into a confrontation with him. It’s your destiny.”

Anakin groaned. “I just...,” his head jerked back in searing pain.

“Padme!” he screamed, running towards their villa.

 

He attacked her?!! Ooh I hope that Sith gets whats coming to him real soon!!
I hope Anakin gets there on time- its going to kill him if he isn't there for his loved ones a second time

Great post minus the fact that the dynamic duo have left us with another evil cliffie!!

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Sith Lord has made his move! It's a great way to get the story to pick up. To tell you the truth I'm a little surprised Palpy moved that quickly. I thought he would want to seduce Anakin more before he did anything drastic. Awesome Update, even though it's a killer cliffie.

 

NOOOOOO! I hope she'll be okay. Run Anakin Run!!!!

 

Uh oh, this is not good at all! I can't believe Palpatine would do something like that. It's going to come back and bite him on his wrinkly butt! I can't wait!

 

OH NO.. so not good! Convenient that Palpy just happens to show up while Anakin is gone.. hmm??? Well, Well, Well. Can't wait for more!

 

Wow! really great update. I hope ani gets there in time.

 

OOOHHH!!Bad Palpitine. Ani's not going to like you messing with his wife.

Good Post.

Thanks for the pm.

 

No the brightest move on ol' Palp's part. I wonder how he will explain all that away... Hopefully Anakin will be able to figure this out before things go too far.

[obi-wan voice]Your thoughts betray you Anakin[/obi-wan voice] If he truly trusted the Chancellor, I don't think he would be putting up such a fight. I think, subconsciously, our boy might be having some doubts about his friend. I think all this fighting is, in part, him not wanting to have his doubts proven correct. Or I'm just reaching for straws and he really isn't the brightest glowrod in the box

 

Oh, what an evil cliffie!
I'm enjoying ghostie Ben!

Thanks for the PMs ...

 

I never expected that reaction from Palpatine. Wow! And poor Anakin, right when everything else might be getting better...

Please add me to your PM list - this story is amazing and I missed a lot of updates, but luckily I've found it again!

?Be mindful of your feelings, Anakin,? Obi-Wan interjected. ?They do you credit, but they could be made to serve evil.?

Hee hee. Sound familiar..? I think so.

Palpatine leaned forward in his chair. ?I?ve become aware of a plot to overthrow me as Chancellor,? he paused while the words sank in.

*sigh*

Good old Palpsy? count on him to come up with a different plan to the one he had before.


Palpatine?s eyes narrowed in furry. ?No,? he hissed. ?But you will be.?

?Wha...,? she never saw the blow coming.

?



Humph.

If I ever meet Palpatine --->

?Paaaadddmmmeeee!!!,? he screamed, running towards their villa.

Hee hee. Oops, sorry, screams always look funny when written out.

*returns to being serious*

Run, Anakin, run!

Great update!
