I don't own Star Wars. I also don't own Popsicle Pete, which is the greatest thing about Cracked and Man Comics put together. This is technically a cross over.
Obi wan charged with Yoda into the Jedi Temple. They were both seasoned warriors, although Obi Wan knew Yoda was a much more skilled Jedi. He still felt honored to be fighting by this master, regardless of the pressing darkness which surrounded them. Gaining access into the temple was simple enough, since Palpatine was holding a meeting with the senators discussing the future of the republic.
They stopped in the ancient corridors. Dead bodies littered the carpeting, and no one had bothered to give any of the jedi a formal burial. Instead, they were just left to rot. Yoda pointed out that the clones had not done this, but a Jedi had killed them with a lightsaber.
"But who?" Obi Wan asked. "Who could have done this?"
They entered the Jedi Temple's Galactic Code Center. After Obi Wan reversed the signal in the temple, Yoda congratulated Obi Wan. "For the clones, to discover the recalibration, a long time it will take."
They began walking down the hallway, when Obi Wan stopped Yoda. "Wait master, there is something I must know." He approached the security recordings, as Yoda stared on sadly.
"If into the security recordings you go," Yoda warned. "Only pain you will find."
"I must know the truth master," Obi Wan said. He turned on the recordings. In it, he saw the cloaked sith lord, Anakin Skywalker. Behind him, he saw a small child wearing what appeared to be a child wearing a parade hat. "It can't be. It can't be."
From the hologram, he could hear Anakin protesting. "No, I don't want to do it!" The child would then insist. "Do it." "Alright, oh what have I become? I can feel you in my head." "I have always been there. Always."
Turning off the hologram, Obi wan put his hand up to his chin. "You have seen too much," said Popsicle Pete, the child from the hologram. He was now standing behind Obi Wan.
"Go away kid, you're so evil, you make the Sith look like pansies."
"They are pawns. You all are pawns."
"Go away," Obi Wan said as he began to walk away.
"It tries but fails to flee death," the child said.
Obi wan hopped into his Jedi Starfighter, the cockpit closing behind him. "I must find Anakin," he said to himself. He knew where to look. He would go to Padme`.
As he was flying, he heard an evil voice come from over the intercom. The voice was evil. "Crash your starfighter into the buildings below."
"What? No."
"You wonder what this new madness is."
"Please, stop! I must find Anakin."
"The darkness whispers your name."
Obi Wan landed his starfighter near Padme's home. He found the Senator quickly. "Anakin is in grave danger," Obi Wan said.
"You all are," said Popsicle Pete. Obi Wan was shocked to see the child had followed him.
"No, please, I can feel his evil running through me and his eyes… they burn." He wanted to drop to the floor and ask the kid for forgiveness.
"You know what you must do," Popsicle Pete said as Obi Wan begged not to.
"Anything but that!"
"Do it."
Overwhelmed by the evil, Obi Wan stood up. He was trying to choke back the words, but they came. "I saw him… slaughtering… younglings." He had said the "Y word". There was no hope for his acting career now.
Padme fled as quickly as she could to her own ship, hoping she could be in future movies. She was not safe. No one was.
"You call that dialogue," the kid mocked. "This is a dark power which rivals even me.
"Kid, you are so evil, you'd put a gungan into a movie for comic relief."
Padme's ship blew up. In that instant, Obi Wan realized he should not have insulted Popsicle Pete. "No… no!" he shouted, but it was too late.
"It is what must be," Popsicle Pete said, as Obi Wan's world went dark.
