meet miss

Extra:

Dooku was extremely disappointed in the Republic, and the Jedi Council's negative response made him unable to bear it any longer. The rotten Republic system could not bring true peace, and would only drag down this unbearable galaxy even more.

He chose to use other methods to realize his ideals and aspirations, breaking the boundaries that a Jedi master cannot cross. His birth allowed him to have wealth, and politics is also his field of expertise. He only needs to quit the Jedi Order.

After nearly a year of covert activity, Dooku found himself a bit powerless alone, and he thought of Qui-Gon Jinn, his former apprentice.Believe in the force of life, pay attention to the current reality, and believe in feeling and intuition.Dooku believed that after he told Qui-Gon all about the corruption of the Republic, he would join him as his right-hand man.

However, when Dooku found Qui-Gon outside the apprentice training room that day, he noticed the child recommended by Master Yoda, the child's eyes, after he could not restrain his anger in the face of deliberate provocation, When Yoda told him that Qui-Gon hadn't chosen him as an apprentice, the kid's eyes lost their luster, like a star suddenly losing its vitality.

A child who was favored by Master Yoda, a rejected apprentice, a little Jedi with strong emotions and easy to believe in others, Dooku believes that this may be more suitable, more obedient, and easier to control than Qui-Gon.

The kid ran out of the training room, as if he wanted to meet Qui-Gon face to face, but Dooku stood in the middle of Qui-Gon and the little apprentice unobtrusively.

"Are you Master Jin?" He tried to calm down his emotions.

"I'm sorry for the child, but I'm Earl Dooku. I'm afraid Master Jin is in a bad mood right now." Dooku bent down and looked at the child carefully, "What's your name?"

"Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, hello Earl," Obi-Wan asked hesitantly after bowing, "Are you friends with Master Jin? Can I know where I am not good enough?"

"No, boy, you didn't do anything wrong," Dooku tilted his head in the direction of Qui-Gon behind him, "it's just that you know that sometimes the Jedi Creed is too strict and impersonal."

Qui-Gon coughed lightly, indicating that they should go, and Dooku looked Obi-Wan in the eyes again, he liked the kid, "If they finally let you leave the Jedi Order, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come Find me, Obi-Wan."

Dooku made up his mind to accept this little apprentice. He knew that Master Yoda was matching Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to become mentors and apprentices. He used some connections to learn that Obi-Wan appeared on the transport ship flying to Bandomir. The names of Bewan and Qui-Gon, he guessed, must have been Yoda's idea.So Dooku found an excuse to intercept Qui-Gon on the ship, and then found a private spaceship to fly to Bandomir.When he arrived at the destination to inquire about Obi-Wan, he learned about the child's deeds from the mouth of the Akonan weirdo. Dooku likes him even more for a young man who values ​​love and justice.

What happened next was somewhat unexpected. Obi-Wan was caught by Thanatos who had fallen into the dark side and thrown into the mine as a slave. After being abused and tortured, Dooku couldn't help but help him , when Obi-Wan left the offshore mine platform to see the light again, he looked at Dooku in surprise, he thought it would be Qui-Gon who came to save him, after all, Master Yoda told him quietly that Qui-Gon came here on a mission .Dooku thought amusedly in his heart, it's a pity that you won't have the chance to meet again.

Then, Obi-Wan was still thinking about Qui-Gon. Although he thanked Dooku repeatedly, he refused to become Dooku's apprentice at the beginning. He still wanted to be an orthodox Jedi.So Dooku allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of the grievances between Thanatos and Qui-Gon, secretly helped him go to the bottom of the mine full of traps and ambushes, and quietly followed his every move until Obi-Wan relied on luck at the most critical moment. Dismantling the deadly bomb with intuition, Dooku felt that the Force between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon seemed to have a connection, and he frowned, even though they were separated by two places, the relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan The Force is still guiding them, and just as Dooku was thinking about how to cut off the connection between them, he felt Qui-Gon's departure, and he chased Thanatos out of the mine.Dooku realized that Qui-Gon probably had no idea that there was another Obi-Wan waiting for him at the bottom of the mine.

With an imperceptible smile hidden in the corner of his mouth, Dooku appeared in front of the embarrassed Obi-Wan, "He is gone, and in his heart is only one apprentice, Thanatos, even if he has fallen into the dark side, Qui-Gon Only concerned about Thanatos, I'm sorry, Obi-Wan."

He saw that the corners of the child's eyes gradually turned red, misty, "He will come back to find me, he just, he just went after the bad guys first, right?"

Dooku shook his head, "I'll wait here with you, if he comes back, I will bless you all to be the best Jedi masters and apprentices in the future, but if he doesn't come back..."

An hour later, they didn't wait for Qui-Gon, but the other end of the mine exploded. Dooku picked up Obi-Wan, who was crying silently and gritted his teeth, and escaped at the last moment.

Not long after that, the planet Bandomir issued an evacuation order, and Dooku boarded the private spaceship with Obi-Wan, who hadn't eaten, drank or talked all day, and he could feel Obi-Wan's affection for Qui-Gon. Angry and hated, Dooku let things go and even deliberately distorted the facts.

When the Bandomir star exploded, Obi-Wan finally spoke. He said, "Master, please give me a new name." So resolute and calm, he completely cut off all ties between himself and the Jedi Order.

After that, Dooku has been training Obi-Wan-Ben.Subtly told him that many of the Jedi's creeds are unrealistic, as long as it is under the current rule of the Republic, it will never be realized.Jedi are idealists, but reality is often cruel. People need emotions and desires, and necessary anger. War is sometimes necessary. This is the only way to true justice.

Ben is very obedient. He doesn't hide his gratitude and respect for Dooku. He works hard to practice the lightsaber, takes care of his master's daily life without complaint, and always completes the tasks given to him by Dooku very well, although occasionally he will be impulsive. Reckless, but talented Ben can always save the day.Ben especially hated human traffickers, especially criminals who bought and sold children, and Dooku would encourage him to hate them, brainwash him into letting the Jedi ruthlessly abandon him, and feed his hatred of Qui-Gon and disdain for the Jedi.

Although Ben is good at everything, but when Dooku gives him the order to kill, there will always be mistakes. It's not that he doesn't kill people. If it's a heinous smuggler or human trafficker, Ben's sword is very clean.But other things... Either they forgot to confirm whether the other party was dead or not, or they deliberately let a way out.Even if they are impeccable in the aspects of undercover intelligence deployment strategy, those who can achieve great things should not be too sympathetic.

After Dooku discovered and rescued Ventress, an exotic and ruthless female assassin, he seemed to have found the right apprentice.

It's not that Ben was unaware of his master's dissatisfaction with him, after Ventress appeared, especially after his master fought Master Yoda head-on and Ben failed to sneak attack Yoda according to Dooku's plan.

In his ninth year as Dooku's apprentice, Dooku called him to him, thinking maybe he wouldn't survive today.

"I'm very disappointed in you," Dooku looked condescendingly at the apprentice who had grown into a handsome young man, "Since you can't get rid of the mark that the Jedi gave you, I can no longer trust you."

Ben fought back tears, his eyes were flushed, he lowered his head and knelt straight on the ground.Losing the trust of his master, according to Dooku's usual practice, it is impossible for him to get out of here alive. "I'm sorry Master," he choked with sobs, "I am forever grateful to you, goodbye Master." He closed his eyes resignedly, letting the last tears run across his face.

Seeing this scene, Dooku's lightsaber hidden behind him couldn't do anything anyway. After all these years of getting along day and night, after all, this child didn't really betray him. After all, he was just... too deeply influenced by the Jedi.After a long internal battle, Count Dooku finally let out a sigh.

"Look up and look at me," he and Ben looked into each other's eyes, and was unconsciously attracted by those eyes again. Those blue eyes would never be seen again in the future, "You go, never let me See you, if I hear anything about you, it will be your death day, understand?"

Ben looked at his master in surprise, he didn't expect that he could leave alive, he thought... Tears fell down again, Ben quickly opened the lightsaber and cut off his apprentice's braid, under Dooku's surprised eyes , handed the apprentice braid and lightsaber to Dooku with both hands, "Goodbye, Master, I will never betray you."

Many years later, when Earl Dooku finally understood that the Sith Lord had been deceiving him and using him, it was too late. Darth Maul, who succeeded in sneak attack, pierced his chest with a lightsaber, exhausting the last bit of force to kill the wounded Ventress was sent out of the hatch, and Dooku finally told his female apprentice through the master-apprentice bond, "Don't avenge me, don't tell Ben." He pressed the self-destruct button of the spaceship.

It seemed that Ventress' roar could be heard in his ears. Based on his understanding of her, he would definitely be able to escape, but he didn't know if his death would drag this Sith apprentice.

Dooku slowly closed his eyes. In the end, he failed to bring justice to the world. Whether he was a Jedi or the leader of a separatist organization, he failed.

He failed.

In the end, he seemed to see a pair of red, swollen and weeping blue eyes, and said to him, goodbye, master.
