What if?: One Death

Corruption within

Obi-wan froze as he saw the Jedi master approach him. The closer the one Jedi master came, the more Jedi he saw. Soon enough Obi-wan saw all the Jedi he and Maul encountered on Mandalore and more. Obi-wan swore the entire Jedi Council was there.

"Oh no," Fear filled Obi-wan, he couldn't let them see him like this. Then for a moment, Obi-wan sensed something else. No not something. Someone. Obi-wan looked around and within the shadows, he saw a tall dark figure with yellow eyes. The fear in Obi-wan turned into a boiling hatred. Any feeling of fear of the Jedi seeing him like this went away.

"Obi-wan?" Qui-gon's spoke walking closer to Obi-wan then Windu and Yoda.

"Qui-gon, be careful." Windu caution taking a step further.

"You all shouldn't be here," Obi-wan said calmly glaring at them

"Obi-wan, what's happened to you?" Qui-gon questioned with a heartbroken look.

"Turned to the dark side he has." Yoda sighed looking down

"Obi-wan," Qui-gon spoke quietly "Can we talk?"

Obi-wan watched as Qui-gon approached him and he turned to where he saw the figure to see it gone. He knew he had to keep both of their attention.

"What do you want?" Obi-wan questioned as Qui-gon walked up to him.

"Please tell me Obi-wan that it's not true. Tell me that you haven't gone to the dark side." Qui-gon spoke quietly for only him and Obi-wan to hear.

"I haven't." Obi-wan's voice was steady almost emotionless

"Oh, thank," Qui-gon began as he looked into Obi-wan's clear blue eyes

"But something is different in me." Obi-wan cut his old mentor off. "I don't know what it is, but it is something I need to get rid of."

"Where is the Sith Apprentice?" Windu shouted breaking into their conversation.

"Where Maul is, is none of your concern!" Obi-wan looks over at the Jedi that has been the cause of Obi-wan and Maul leaving the Jedi Temple.

"Kenobi, we insist that you and the Sith Apprentice surrender yourselves now before anyone is hurt." Windu took a step even closer to Obi-wan. Qui-gon and the other Jedi Council members all felt a cold wind blow as Obi-wan glared at the Jedi Master. Obi-wan clutched his fists forcing himself to remain calm as he felt something in him boil.

"Don't hold yourself back, Kenobi." A raspy voice interfered with the tense situation. "Let your feelings flow. You do not belong to these Jedi anymore."

"Plagueis!" Obi-wan spoke through his teeth as he attempted to keep himself calm. The rage flowing through Obi-wan flowed faster through Obi-wan when Plagueis appeared from the shadows behind Obi-wan. 

"What are you doing here Sith?!" Windu shouted at the tall Sith.

"I am here to claim what I've accomplished," Plagueis spoke in his raspy yet smooth voice.

"Explain yourself Sith!" Yoda demanded

"In my years of hiding, I have searched for a way to extend my life and after so long I have created life using only the Force." Plagueis began with all the Jedi and Obi-wan in shock. "After hearing of my apprentice's unfortunate death, I planned on killing you Kenobi, yet you showed to be much more useful than that damned Zabrak  my apprentice choose."

"What do you mean?" Obi-wan asked holding the corrupted lightsaber in his hands backing away from the Sith Lord.

"You can feel it in you can't you, Kenobi?" Plagueis smirked as he slowly walked toward Obi-wan. "Every single piece of your body is changing. Boiling! Don't hold back your anger. You can let it out. "

"Do not listen to him Obi-wan!" Qui-gon shouts and ignites his lightsaber. "You will back away from Obi-wan this instant!" Qui-gon ran to Obi-wan's side and pointed his lightsaber right at the Sith Lord.

"You are outnumbered Sith and surrounded! You were foolish to show yourself in front of us!" Windu declared as Plagueis calmly looks around himself to see the Jedi Council did have him surrounded.

"How foolish." Plagueis mocks with a laugh then turned to Obi-wan, who held his head as if he was in pain.

"Fight it Obi-wan! Do not let him win!" Qui-gon begs Obi-wan as he keeps his lightsaber pointed at Plagueis. Then with a raise of Plagueis' hand, a jolt is sent through Obi-wan. Obi-wan falls to his knees, he cries out from the pain as the Jedi stand there hopeless to help their ally. 

After long moments of Obi-wan crying out in pain, it all goes silent and Obi-wan's hands drop from holding his head.

"Obi-wan?" Qui-gon calls out into the silence. After a long moment of silence, Obi-wan stands up without a word then looks over at Qui-gon with blazing yellow eyes. Before Qui-gon could even mutter another word, Obi-wan ignites Windu's corrupted lightsaber and attacks his old mentor with every piece of Obi-wan's mind and body telling him to kill every Jedi he sees.
