Star Wars: the Chosen One

Entry 8

I nodded, reluctantly. He told me to go back to the ship and send the council a message telling them what had happened. I did as ordered and filled them in on everything. They gave us more places on Geonosis to search, the leftover lands away from the arena and gave us places where more droid troops could be hiding.

We checked every place we could think of and more on Geonosis. It was like Dooku had never been on this planet. We left and got back to Coruscant shortly after midnight, a day after we had left.

The Clone Wars lasted for three long years after that. Most of it I spent away from Coruscant, away from everything that was important to me.

Padme moved back to Coruscant after staying a few more months on Naboo. She bought an apartment that was big enough for both of us but small enough that no one would say anything about her living there by herself.

The war reached pretty much everywhere, even to the Outer Rim Sieges which is where Obi-Wan and I spent most of the war, where most of our missions took place. We had many missions on many different planets. The ones I remember most were on Cato Neimoidia, Kamino, Balamak, and Uirujansi, all of which I had to save Obi-Wan in some way or another.

The mission to Kamino I remember most for reasons I don't know why. We had been sent there because the Jedi Council suspected Dooku would hire someone else to negotiate with the Kaminowans about creating clones for them. If that happened, this war would be a lot harder for us to win.

We went there and talked with two Kaminowans that Obi-Wan had met before. On our way out we were attacked and separated by a new apprentice of Dooku's and more droid units. Obi-Wan battled the new Sith apprentice Asajj while I fought of most of the droids. I managed to get to the fight just as Asajj was about to knock Obi-Wan off one of the main structures. He was hanging on by his grappling hook which was attached to something at the top of the structure.

Asajj turned to face me. I had my lightsaber out and ready as the rain poured on my face. I used the Force to try and push her back, but her hand was already out, pushing against mine. I could feel a raw power coming from her and I immediately knew it was the dark side.

I had never felt the dark side in someone until that moment. Maybe that's why I remember that mission so much more than any other. In the end, I used the Force to push her ship almost off the edge. She ran after it to try and stop it before it crashed.

I helped Obi-Wan climb back up as Asajj left Kamino.

After the mission on Cato Neimoidia, the Council appointed Obi-Wan to be on the Jedi Council. I didn't know why but aside from feeling happy for him, I felt a jealous feeling that had become more and more familiar inside me.

After our next mission in which I saved Obi-Wan, our clone troops and the mission, they appointed me to a regular Jedi Knight. I wasn't a master, but I wasn't an apprentice anymore either. Throughout the war, I became a celebrity of state, despite Jedi ascetics frowning upon such honors. I suppose it's only right to say that the more missions we went on and the more people praised us, the "Heroes of the Republic," the more arrogant I grew. I began thinking that there wasn't anything I couldn't do.

I was also thankful for Obi-Wan. Although, most of the time it was me saving him, there were times I was grateful to have him by my side. His guidance and wisdom is what helped me become the Jedi I needed to be to fight in this war.
