AN: Another idea that popped up in my mind and wouldn't leave me alone... I know I should continue my other stories, but don't worry, they definitely will be finished!
Chronophobia: describes the fear of time, but especially the fear of time running out.
Disclaimer: I do not own Star wars or any of its characters, they belong to Disney. Which is sad, because I would be quite rich otherwise! ;D
Prologue:
"You were supposed to bring balance to the Force, not to destroy it! You were the Cosen One Anakin, we believed in you!" a ginger haired man with beard shouted at the younger male before him.
The other man's golden eyes, which used to be a deep blue, narrowed in anger. He obviously didn't want to hear the older man's words, nor did he care about their content.
"Liar! You and the Council never believed in me! The only one who did was Councillor Palpatine!" he shouted in return.
"Please Anakin, can't you see? You were blinded by Palpatine. He wanted you to believe that we didn't care."
"You can stop your lies now, Obi-Wan! I do not believe you anymore," the young man replied coldly.
"Come back to your senses, Anakin! Nobody will blame you… what about Padme and you child?" Obi-Wan tried to get through to the man he once called brother.
"Padme betrayed me and it's your fault!" Anakin screamed, now completely furious, "You shall pay for this!"
With that the young Skywalker activated his lightsaber and dashed forwards, his strength fuelled by his rage and hate. Obi-Wan struggled with keeping the younger male at bay. Anakin was strong, even though his strikes lacked the usual elegance and precision and the ginger haired male refused to hurt or to kill the man, he basically raised by himself.
Anakin performed an, to Obi-Wan, unknown move and the Jedi Master had been too distracted to block the attack.
Suddenly pain erupted from the spot where the former Jedi's lightsaber was buried in Obi-Wan's chest and the older man fell to his knees.
Anakin hovered over the crumbled form of his former Master, "Now that the Jedi are destroyed, there will be finally peace and balance in the galaxy."
"There won't be peace… there will be only submission and oppression… if that is the world… you want to live in…" he was interrupted by a violent coughing fit, blood coming out of his mouth, "I hoe you will find peace. May the Force…be with you… Anakin…"
With that Jedi Master and General Obi-Wan Kenobi fell; darkness swallowing everything around him.
He distantly heard a voice calling his name and Obi-Wan Kenobi wondered if the voice belonged to the Force that was taking him. He still could not believe that he was really dead, killed by his former Padawan, who had succumbed to the dark side.
The voice was getting louder and it started to sound quite familiar. He knew this voice, this deep baritone voice that sounded panicked, not calm like it should have sounded. Obi-Wan suddenly had the desire to calm the owner of the voice and he struggled to move, but found himself unable to do so. The ginger haired Jedi Master tried to open his eyes then, but that failed also.
The fog around his mind however, seemed to vanish and he started to make out words, "Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan! Come on Padawan, open your eyes!"
Padawan? He had not been called Padawan for many years now and there was only one person in the whole universe, who used to call him this on regular basis. Qui-Gon Jinn… had he come to greet him in death? Would Qui-Gon be disappointed because Obi-Wan had failed?
"Come on child. Don't do this to me, come back!"
Obi-Wan was now completely sure that it was Qui-Gon's baritone voice that was talking to him. But why did his former Master sound so worried? They were already dead after all, or were they not? Obi-Wan suddenly felt uneasy; he desperately wanted to move and reach out to his Master, to comfort him.
"Wake up little one…" Qui-Gon sounded so hopeless.
Obi-Wan wanted nothing more than to help the man he once called father, so he started struggling again. He still found himself unable to move a single muscle in his body, but he was eventually able to open his eyes a little and found himself gazing in the midnight blue orbs of Qui-Gon Jinn.
"Obi-Wan!" the man exclaimed once he noticed the younger man's open eyes. Some of the worry in his eyes disappeared and the grip he had on his Padawan tightened.
"Master…?" Obi-Wan retorted hesitantly, not knowing or understanding what was going on.
"Thank the Force! I thought I had lost you."
"What happened?" Obi-Wan decided to pay along for now.
"Can't you remember?" the worry returned to his voice.
"…no?"
The long haired male closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath, "You damn brat threw yourself between me and a droid and you got hit by a blaster… and even though I am very grateful, I would appreciate it, if you would never do this ever again!"
Before the young man could reply however, another familiar face came into focus.
"Yousa alright?"
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan looked amused at the gungan, "I am fine Jar Jar, just a little disorientated."
That was the understatement of the millennium, but it wouldn't do either of them any good, when Obi-Wan revealed that he shouldn't be here and that Qui-Gon was actually one with the Force.
"Mesa glad da yousa alright!"
"Me as well Jar Jar," Obi-Wan said.
"Can you stand little one?" asked the long haired Jedi Master.
Obi-Wan hesitated, "I… I can't. I can't feel my body, Master!"
Qui-Gon looked troubled and worries and somehow his expression caused a sick feeling in Obi-Wan's stomach. The Jedi Master quickly caught himself and his expression turned more or less neutral again.
"Alright, no need to worry! We've got this, everything is going to be alright," Obi-Wan wasn't sure who Qui-Gon was actually trying to soothe with this.
The older Jedi Master slightly moved his position and slowly sneaked his arms under the shorter man's body and lifted him up with a grunt.
"Somehow I remember this to be easier…"
"Maybe you are getting old?" Obi-Wan teased.
"I should drop you again."
"Shall missa carry him? Mesa strong!"
"No, thank you Jar Jar. I've got him."
With that they started to walk deeper into the jungle of Naboo.
I hope you like it so far. ^^
