Betrayed, betrayed whispered Obi-Wan's mind. His own troops had shot him down. The troops he had sweated, cried, and bled for had just tried to kill him.
He didn't understand it, what had caused Cody, his Commander to order the shot that took him out?
The Force that carried him screamed in grief as more and more of bright lights were extinguished around the galaxy. His fellow Jedi, his family was being slaughtered. He needed to wake up and help them.
Obi-Wan groaned as he became more aware of his surroundings. He could feel that he was on a flat surface that was being pulled. But he dared not open his eyes as his head pounded.
"He's waking up" a soft voice came from above him.
"We must hurry then" came another's voice. The speed at which they were traveling picked up. Obi-Wan tried to open his eyes but they felt as if the very Force was keeping them closed.
Unable to open his eyes, he instead tried to speak. "Mmgg" he groaned, it seemed as if his mouth didn't want to corporate either.
"Don't worry Master Kenobi, we will keep you safe" said an unknown voice.
Obi-Wan struggled to move to open his eyes to demand what was going on. He was in so much pain, the Force was calling out with thousands of deaths of his fellow Jedi. The light was being snuffed out by the blackness. "The Republic has fallen, the Clones turned on you," said another.
Obi-Wan felt stricken, the Republic had fallen? It had to be the Sith. He had to get up, Anakin was still out there, he could feel him!
But every time he attempted to move, hands gentle pressed him back onto the surface he was resting on.
"Are you sure about this?"
"This could kill him," another voice said sharply.
"This is the only way," the voices over top of him whispered.
"Master Jedi, we are going to freeze you in carbonite until it is safe. We promise we will keep you safe until the Jedi come for you."
Obi-Wan felt a coldness encompass him, and then nothing.
Fifty Years Later
"We intercepted this General, the First Order seemed pretty excited to find it" said Poe, watching as the large crate he had helped liberate being offloaded the carrier ship.
Leia looked at it with interest. "Any idea what is inside?"
Poe shook his head, "No, it was already in the crate when we arrived. I decided it would be best to wait until we came back here to see what is inside it. But we did scan it, it is clean."
"Good job. Open it" ordered Leia.
A team approached the crate and quickly pried the lid off the crate. The wooden lid slid down and slammed down onto the floor with a *Bang*.
A layer of dust flew into the air as new air was introduced to the contents. The team leader waved a hand in front of his face clearing away the dust as he gazed down. "I don't believe it," the man whispered in shock.
Poe climbed up to where the crate had been placed and gazed down and immediately understood why the team leader had been surprised.
"Ugh General you're going to want to see this!" called Poe as he looked down in disbelief in what they had uncovered.
Leia climbed to where Poe was standing and was able to look down into the crate. Out of everything Leia expected it to be, a man frozen in carbonite was not one of them.
Much of the man's face was covered by a hood, but she could make out a beard on his face, confirming it was a man.
The rest of the crate was pried off to get to the controls. An engineers studied the controls located at the base of the block.
"He's still alive!" he cried out engineers.
So this idea has been bugging me for quite awhile so I just decided to post it. And like all my fics, be prepared for few and far between updates. Aka my fic's are never abandoned so don't ask.
