So, this could be considered a season 5 opener in some alternate universe where I own Star Wars the Clone Wars…Which I don't. Also! There isn't any grudge or anything going on between Anakin and Obi-Wan from the whole, Hardine incident. This is a little slow at first but it will get all exciting soon. This story will mostly focus on Anakin and Obi-Wan, because they're awesome. (In my opinion.)

A Sickening Plot

Chapter 1: Strange Discoveries!

Ahsoka

Ahsoka sighed loudly. No one responded, except the strange noises coming from the darkness around her deciding to become louder. They were…mysterious. Just like the current mission she was on.

Ahsoka had been suspicious when her master, Anakin, told her they were going to a planet that had never been spotted before. It was in right along a route used for trade among the galaxy…except it had never been heard of or seen before. You would think someone could have noticed it, for it was decently large.

A very strange yet bright green glow emanated from the planet, catching one's eye. The rest of the planet was a simple green, excluding the covering of grey clouds over some of the planet.

The people sent to explore the planet were herself, her master, Obi-Wan, and Captain Rex with about twenty clones. Most would be confused why such a formidable force was sent. There were two reasons. One was the sighting of the planet by a random trade ship…no one understood how they could have missed it. It seemed as though it had just appeared.

The other reason just made even it more strange. The force coming from the planet was insane, it reminded Ahsoka very much of Mortis…a place she didn't enjoy thinking about.

A louder noise broke her out of her thoughts. It was a sound of surprise and alarm…coming from a clone. She ran towards it, Rex following her closely. Huh, She thought, I guess waiting with the ship can be exciting.

Anakin

So far, Anakin found this mission boring…but something was off. He felt on edge…wary of every noise. The only sounds were Obi-Wan and the ten or so clones who were with them. There were also the strange noises around them, which the group still hadn't found the source of. They had been walking for a long time through the foresty wilderness, finding nothing…

Suddenly Obi-Wan stopped moving and Anakin did as well. Anakin's hand moved towards his light saber, expecting an attack, but Obi-Wan held up a hand to stop. He heard the soft talking of the clones and their footsteps abruptly stop behind them

"Calm yourself Anakin." He spoke softly, "I was simply going to suggest we stop for the night, and turn in. We will probably have a better chance of finding something with sunlight." Anakin nodded in agreement before turning to make sure the clones had heard. The sight of them all setting up small tents confirmed this and he turned back to his master.

Obi-Wan was looking at him with slight concern glittering in his eyes. "What's troubling you? Don't tell me it's nothing either. You've barely spoken since we arrived." Anakin sighed and said,

"This planet feels just like Mortis," He muttered, "And I definitely don't want a repeat of that place." Obi-Wan's eyes darkened in understanding and he replied,

"You're right…but obviously something is different, since there are living creatures this time." He gestured to the darkness, reminding Anakin of the sounds coming from it. Anakin nodded, before setting up his own miniature shelter. Obi-Wan did the same. "Don't worry, Anakin." He said as Anakin drifted into sleep, "I'm sure everything will be fine."

Ahsoka

Ahsoka's eyes opened to light coming in from the front of the ship. She was still bored, but at least they had found something. The clone had alerted her to some strange markings on the ground. They were claw marks. Pretty big ones too…so they had been on a sharper lookout since then. She called Anakin on her communicator.

"Master. Can you hear me?" She spoke calmly.

"Loud and clear Snips." His voice rang out from her wrist. "Obi-Wan and I are heading out as we speak, we sensed something strange earlier and we're going out to find it." Ahsoka tensed slightly. She really hoped it was something exciting. Then maybe they would need her help.

"We found something strange last night, Master." She said, "They were claw marks. Fresh ones too." She heard him sigh.

"Wonderful." He replied, his sarcasm making her smile. "We'll tell you if we find anything."

"Good luck Master." She finished, cutting off the connection. She stepped outside and sighed, very much like the day before. Looked like another boring day. Guarding the ship.

Anakin

Anakin and Obi-Wan split up to cover more ground. Five clones with each group, they went their separate ways. After about an hour, Anakin sensed something ahead. He turned to the clones behind him.

"Wait here." He commanded, "I'll be right back. Something strange is ahead. Be careful." With that he sprinted off ahead into a clearing. He stopped in surprise listening carefully.

The smoking wreckage from a ship lay in front of him. It was badly damaged. Impossible to fly. He cautiously went inside and found nothing…No bodies! That could only mean that someone else was here…

Suddenly, a scream pierced the air. It came from behind him! He ran back towards his clones, expecting to hear gunshots, battle cries. But he arrived to a terrible scene. Dead troopers lay around the area. All five. But there was nothing around that could have done it. He examined one of the dead men…he looked fine, except his neck had been crushed. The others were all like that, but one had a broken back…as though he was the only one with enough time to fight back.

Anakin was very worried now. He couldn't feel any life around him. The killer must have been long gone. He immediately lifted his arm and contacted Obi-Wan.

"Master!" He shouted.

Obi-Wan

"Master!" Anakin's voice came from his communicator. It sounded urgent. He halted and lifted his hand up to stop his group. He answered the contact and quickly asked,

"Anakin! What happened?" Anakin spoke quickly,

"All of my men were killed. I went ahead of them for a minute to check something out I sensed. It was a crashed ship. There was nothing inside, not even any bodies. The ship is too badly damaged to fly. I went back to my men, but they were all dead... I think the people from that ship must have done it!" Obi-Wan's eyes widened in shock. He spun around when he heard a weak cry.

He stepped backwards in horror. All of his men were down…unmoving. The cry had come from one nearby. Obi-Wan ran to him. The soldier opened his eyes. The life was fading from him fast. The others were already gone.

"Who did this?!" Obi-Wan shouted. The Clone's breath hitched.

"It was a horned creature," He coughed, "It had…robotic legs and... Its skin was red as blood…" Then he choked slightly, before his eyes dulled. Obi-Wan was horrified. That sounded like…Darth Maul.

"Anakin." He spoke into the communicator. "My group was just killed too…just now. Hurry back to where we camped last night I'll meet you there." Anakin's voice gave away that he was running now,

"Do you have any idea who it could be?" Obi-Wan started running as well.

"I think it's…Darth-" Suddenly a loud smash came from his communicator. "Anakin!" Panic made his voice rise. There was a choking cry from his former padawan before the communicator went silent. "Anakin! Are you there?!" Nothing.

"ANAKIN!"

Drama Bomb! So, the second chapter will be coming soon. And will probably be longer. All the questions about this planet will be answered…R and R please!
