Star Wars: Survivor

42-Aftermath

Anakin watched Obi Wan dispose of Sidious and collapse from his spot on the floor. He still could not move. He strained to get up and make sure Obi Wan was okay, but his quivering muscles would not allow it.

Suddenly, the doors opened revealing Padme and Satine. Padme ran over to him while Satine went to Obi Wan. "Ani, your clothes are smoking!" Padme exclaimed.

"Lightning." He ground out through clenched teeth.

Padme nodded. "Can you get up?"

"I can't move." He answered.

"Okay, I'm going to call for help." She said. "Satine?"

Satine called over. "I think Obi Wan just passed out."

Padme sighed in relief. "Okay, I'll ask Vokara Che to send some help." She pulled out her commlink and did just that.

A few minutes later, Master Vokara Che came with two other healers, one of whom was Kyra, a healer who they had befriended during Obi Wan's previous stay at the Med Center. Kyra and the other healer checked Anakin over and helped him stand. Master Vokara Che helped Obi Wan and Satine.

After a long boring hour in the Med Center, Anakin could move again. Master Vokara Che said there was no serious or permanent damage but he should take it easy for the next day or so. With a little assistance from Padme, he walked over to Obi Wan's room. He hadn't been able to see Obi Wan until then so he didn't know what was going on.

When they entered the room, Obi Wan was still asleep. Satine was sitting in one of the chairs and Anakin sat in the other.

"Master Vokara Che says that he just exhausted himself. He's not in a coma again, thank the Force." Satine reported.

Anakin nodded and asked "Did she tell you when he'll wake up?"

"No more than a day." Satine said, somewhat sadly. This wasn't how she had wanted their wedding day to go.

Padme out a a silent hand on her friend's shoulder. Satine smiled and brightened a little.

Five minutes later Ahsoka walked in, out of breath. She was no longer in her dress but her regular outfit. "I got here as soon as I heard what happened. I've been trying to find you four since the attack. The other Jedi and I got roped into stopping the stampede and helping some people who got injured. What happened?!"

Anakin related the story and Ahsoka clenched her fists. "I should have been there to help!"

"Snips, it's not your fault. Obi Wan and I handled it and there is no serious harm done. Obi Wan will be fine by tomorrow." Anakin assured. 

Ahsoka deflated a little. "I know. Just...I should have been there." She said in a quieter voice. Anakin smiled at her and returned a half-smiled. 

There was no further conversation between them and they sat together in the room for a long time afterwards in comfortable silence. Despite similar memories from an earlier time, the group of friends knew that everything would turn out well.

When Obi Wan opened his eyes, he was standing in front of Force in her little oasis again. His first thought: you have got to be kidding me!

As if she had heard him, Force released a small chuckle. "Do not worry, obi Wan, you are not really here. I just wanted to speak with you and this is the best place to do so. I shall release you after we are done."

Obi Wan crossed his arms across his chest. "I'm listening."

"I wanted to say well done. It seems that you are adjusting well to the new abilities you have manipulating my power. I'm impressed." Force said.

"I've discovered some things. Is there anything else I should be expecting?" Obi Wan questioned. 

"Well, you already know that you can banish evil, wield a blade of my purest energy, and close gaps between the realms. That's the majority of it." Force said, almost sarcastic.

"When you say that it's the 'majority,' do you mean that there is more?" Obi Wan clarified.

"Well, Obi Wan, I have never really favored someone like this, not even the Chosen One. Though, I blessed him in my male aspect. That does change my point of view somewhat..." Force shook her head as if to clear it. "Anyway, I think that the things you have discovered are the main things. If there is more, it is probably just enhancement of your previous skills. You're healing ability may be stronger." Force shrugged. Obi Wan nodded in acknowledgement.

"Anyway, Obi Wan, I think I made a good choice in choosing you for my champion. You vanquished the threats made to me and the people of my Valley. I do not see anything else brewing in the near future, but be on guard. There are things that even I don't see..." Force said. The air wavered a little, the clarity of Obi Wan's surroundings dulled. "My time with you is finished for now. Before you leave..." Force smiled. "Congratulations." 

With those final words, Force vanished and Obi Wan was back in the Valley.
