Hi! Hanna Solo here! This is my first Star Wars fic and I am not sure how it will turn out! I saw that Han Solo would've been 10 years old during the battle at Mustafar so I wondered what would happen if he became involved with Padmé and Anakin. Ever wondered that? Anyway, please R&R and tell me if I should continue. Should I change, add of remove anything? Let me know because I'm open to suggestions!
Happy Reading!
Mustafar, 19 BBY
Tears steamed down the pretty woman's eyes. The little boy standing behind her ship stared at her and his heart ached. If he had a mother, he'd never break her heart like the man arguing with her obviously did! Young Han Solo strained his ears as he tried to listen to their argument.
"Anakin." The woman, whose name was Padmé, cried, "You're breaking my heart! And you're going down a path I can't follow."
"Because of Obi-Wan." Anakin replied.
The man, Han guessed his name was Anakin, replied "Because of Obi-Wan."
"Because of what you've done... what you plan to do!" Padmé said, crying. Han wondered what terrible things this Anakin guy had done and why he was making the lady sad.
"Stop! Stop now... come back... I love you!" Padmé pleaded,
But just then, Han heard footsteps. He looked up and saw another man with a red beard and red hair walk down the ramp to the ship.
The way Anakin looked at the man made Han uneasy, but he was also curious as to what might happen next. He just hope the lady wouldn't get hurt!
Liar! You're with him! You brought him here to kill me!" Anakin shouted in such a horrible way that it made Han jump.
Suddenly, Anakin reached out towards Padmé with his hand. Han quickly looked at the lady, who now had her hands at her throat and was gasping for air!
Han couldn't just sit back and watch him kill the beautiful woman. The one he had watched for so long, wishing she was his mother.
"Stop!" Han cried out as he ran over to the spot where Anakin was choking Padmé. "Stop you'll kill her!"
Shocked at seeing this ten-year-old boy emerge from nowhere, Anakin stopped force choking Padmé.
She began gasping for air, relieved at now being able to breathe again!
"Are you okay?" Han asked her, now looking to see what had become of the red headed man.
"I-I-I'm fine. Thank you. He didn't choke me long enough to do serious damage." Padmé answered while a single, heartwrenching tear dropped from her cheek and onto the dusty ground.
Anakin looked at his hand which he had used to choke his wife, then looked and Obi-Wan, then Padmé, and finally to the kid who had stopped him from murdering his wife!
"Padmé...I...I never meant for any of this to happen but..." Anakin scowled at Obi-Wan Me Kenobi, "You!" He cried, anger now returning, "You turned her against me!"
"You have done that yourself." Obi-Wan replied, calmly walked down the ramp towards the great groups.
"You will not take her from me!" Anakin shouted, now drawing his lightsaber.
"You're anger and lust for power have already done that." Kenobi answered gently. He too drew his lightsaber from his belt.
"Please!" Padmé cried, "Stop this Ani! Come away with me. Help me raise our child far away. Leave everything else behind while we still can!"
"No. Don't you see? We don't have to run away anymore! We no longer have to hide our love for each other. I am more powerful than the Chancellor, I... I can overthrow him! And together, you and I can rule the galaxy! We can make things the way we want them to be!" Anakin replied.
"You have allowed this dark lord to twist your mind, until now, until now you've become the very thing you swore to destroy." Obi-Wan said.
"Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan! I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire!"
"Your new Empire?" Kenobi asked,
"Don't make me kill you." Anakin shouted in anger. Kill? Han thought. This was getting serious! He needed to get this lady to safety!
"Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy." Kenobi continued,
"If you're not with me, then you're my enemy." Anakin glared,
"Only a Sith deals in absolutes." Obi-Wan replied, realizing there was no way he could change Anakin for good. He powered on his lightsaber. "I will do what I must."
"You will try." Anakin sneered. The two men started battling with their lightsabers.
Padmé started crying hysterically.
"Hey lady!" Han called to her, "This is going to get ugly! We have to hide!"
"No! I must stop them! They'll kill each other!"
"Better them than us right? Now come on!" Han insisted,
"I'll come with you little boy, but I'm not leaving this planet until I'm sure they're both safe!" Padmé said,
"Fine! Come on! Over by those rocks. We can hide and watch their battle as well." Han pulled Padmé over to huge, jagged rocks. They had a perfect view of the fight and, much to the dismay of Padmé, Anakin appeared to be losing!
After about twenty minutes, Padmé was still in tears and Anakin was pretty beat up!
Han had witnessed fights before, and had even started a few, but none compared to this!
Now the men were on a steel bridge, sitting over hot lava.
"You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them. You were to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness." Han heard Kenobi shout,
"I hate you." Anakin cried,
"You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you." Obi-Wan replied. After that the next thing Han knew was seeing Anakin wriggle around in the lava, which he had just fallen into!
Han turned to Padmé, but she was gone!
He looked all over and finally spotted her pulling Anakin out of the lava. Obi-Wan was no where to be found but Han didn't care about him at all! He as worried about the lovely lady.
Han reached Anakin and Padmé then he caught a glimps of someone, of something, in a dark cloak. He turned and saw Padmé laying on the ground next to Anakin. Before he could help her He felt a sharp pain in his head and heard a crack, then everything went black!
