Location, ORC Building, With The Group

Parents day at Kuoh Academy had past, but everyone noticed that Obe wasn't anywhere to be seen. Over the course of a few days, Obe had been distant towards everyone, even Luna. They all gather in the meeting room to discuss the situation.

Luna: I don't know what's going on with him. He hasn't been this distant in a long time, but even back then he never told me what he was doing.

Issei: When was the last time he did this?

Luna: Around a year ago, he does it every year though. He never tells anybody what he's doing or why. Every time he does this, I worry if it has something to do with his connection with the Dark Side.

Akeno: Dark Side?

Luna: The Dark Side of the Force. Once it has a grasp on you, it's nearly impossible to escape from it. Many Jedi and Sith have fallen victim to its grasp.

Asia: It's that compelling?

Luna: It is, and if it gained control of Obe... I don't even want to think of what'll happen.

Kiba: Me and Koneko know what you mean. *Luna looks at them*

Koneko: We tried to confront him on the situation, he just tried to walk away.

Kiba: Then I grabbed his shoulder, he turned and yelled at us to leave him alone. And that's when he showed his eyes were glowing an orangish color.

Rias: *stands* Then it is decided. *everyone looks at her* Let's go find Obe and finally get him to tell us what he is doing.

Everyone but Rias: Right!!

The entire group start their search for Obe, on the way, they come across Sona's group and they all work together to try to find Obe. They start looking around the town first, they all search for a good two hours before they nailed it down that Obe isn't roaming the city. They head back to the Academy to continue their search there. As they were about to begin searching, Luna turns her head and begins walking away from them, the group follows. Before they ask, they all begin to hear a Piano being played. They look into the music room and see Obe sitting  at the Piano seat, they all quietly sneak into the room. The group notices that Obe doesn't seem to know they are there. Obe is seen taking his helmet off to reveal he's crying. The group decide to get a bit closer so they could hear what he was about to say.

Obe: I wasn't strong enough to help you both. *tearing up more* What's the point of being a powerful being, *lowers head* if you can't save everyone?

The group gets confused as they see Obe creating projections with the Force. The group then see a younger version of Obe with two other people.

Rias: *whispering* Luna, who are they?

Luna: *whispering as she begins to tear up* T- those were Obe's parents, Dreix and Errith.

They all get shocked at this news. The group then sees Obe walking to the Piano. He sits and begins playing as they also see the Force projections of his younger self and his parents playing together.

(I honestly can't listen to this song without shedding a few tears. Who else?)

The group see the projections playing together as Obe plays the piano.

Dreix Projection: *chasing projection kid Obe* We're gonna get you Obe.

The projection for kid Obe is seen laughing and running from Dreix. They see the projection for Errith grabs kid Obe and holds him close. She then uses the force to lift kid Obe in the air.

Kid Obe Projection: Higher momma. *giggles*

They all continue to play until Obe is done with the song. The projections disappear as Luna gets close to Obe. Obe turns and sees everyone.

Obe: How much did you see?

Luna: We saw enough. *hugs Obe* I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner.

Obe: It's not your fault. I kept it from all of you.

Rias: Why did you though?

Obe: I just think it's something I need to handle on my own.

Kiba: Mourning your loved one's goes easier if you're not alone. I should know.

Obe: I guess you do Kiba.

Rias: *puts her hand on Obe's shoulder* Remember, you have all of us to help you. We're more than willing to help you Obe, in any way we can.

Obe: *smiles* Thank you, all of you.

Luna: *kisses Obe* Let's back to the club building.

The group then leave the room and begin discussing the condition of the town when a force spirit is seen.

(Just pretend she looks like a ghost)

Errith: *smiles* My baby boy, I'm happy that you and Luna are still making friends. In a new reality no less. *laughs a bit* I can rest easy knowing you're in good hands. *she turns and sees someone* W- who are you?

The person doesn't answer, as the screen fades, an outline of a ghostly mace is shown.

A/N: That's Chapter 9 everyone. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you're excited for what I have planned for season 2. Cya in the next chapter.
