Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars. I don't own LOTR. I wish I did but I don't. The changes of Anikan's and Obi-Wan's ages and relationship I do own.
Author's Note (DON'T SKIP!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!): This fic WILL have references to the Jedi Apprentice stories. No you don't need to read them. The characters I'll be referring are: Bant, Reeft, Garren, Tahl, and Xanatos. Bant, Garren, and Reeft are Obi-Wan's friends from the Temple. Tahl is Qui-Gon's friend and Bant's master. Xanatos is the bad guy. It's more in depth than that, but that's all you need for right now. You'll catch on. THANK YOU to Lady Tolwen for getting me to write this. I hope its up to her standards. Sorry I only included Obi and Ani.
The Force of The Jedi Chapter 1: The Arrival of JediObi-Wan was walking through the fountain room. Suddenly his surroundings melted away, leaving him standing in a dark black inlet of a volcanic mountain. There was a man-made dais, falling into a fiery pit. On the opposite wall, bright gold words began to appear in a wavy script:
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie,
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
Obi-Wan turned with a sudden sense of foreboding, but his escape was blocked by nine dark, hooded figures. One pulled out his sword.
"You're not going anywhere, Jedi." It said, as it slowly raised his sword. Obi-Wan's mind screamed to run, but his body refused. The figures continued their approach, as the leader swiftly brought his sword down towards Obi-Wan's chest.
Obi-Wan woke with a start. Cold sweat covered his forehead.
"I wonder why I get a really bad feeling about that?"
"Ok, everyone stay calm. Please exit this area as quickly and calmly as possible. The building to left is set to explode…" Everyone screamed and left the area at a run. A lot faster than if they had followed the announcer's orders. But that's not the point.
"Nice one, Obi." Anikan said, giving his co-Master a playful punch. "You're not exactly on the top of your game lately are you?"
"Oh shut up kid. I bet I can still beat the crap outta you."
"We'll find out later. Now can I suggest leaving?" Anikan asked cautiously, but a rumbling behind them had already begun.
"Ummm…" the building exploded.
"Well, shit." The smoke had cleared giving Obi-Wan his first good look around. He was in a dense forest, that didn't appear to end anywhere nearby. Anikan wasn't anywhere in sight. "Ani!" he cried. "Anikan." Again there was no reply and Obi-Wan sighed. "I don't care how big that explosion was. There is no way that an entire city section can be completely transformed into a forest…" He started to head the way he thought was north but within a few hours it was too dark to tell anymore. In fact he wasn't even sure if this planet's sun rose in the east and set in the west or not, making it even more difficult to define direction.
He finally gave up and sat down in a small clearing, pulling off his survival pack as he went. Laying his thermal blanket on the ground as a makeshift bed/seat, he began rummaging around the pack for food that didn't taste like bantha crap. There wasn't much of a selection so he finally settled for what looked like the most recently packed energy bar there was.
"Man, this really sucks." He complained as he lay down to sleep. "I'm stuck in the middle of a forest, sleeping on the ground, with crappy food, and when I finally do get back Qui-Gon's gonna kill me for losing the little trouble-maker, yet again." He fell asleep grumbling about how unfortunate this was.
Anikan landed on the ground with a thud in the middle of a camp of a half dozen orcs. They looked up upon his arrival.
"Woah! Ugly." Anikan scrambled to his feet and began backing away only to bump into two more. He reached for his lightsaber to discover that it must have been knocked loose from the blast. 'Well, I guess we do this the old fashion way.' He thought, doing a series of complex flips, kicks, etc. to dispose of his enemy. The orcs didn't go down too quickly and he'd only dispatched two before a pair of twins came into the clearing, making short work of the enemy with their seemingly endless supply of arrows. Anikan stayed on the other side of the clearing still in fighters' stance, but when they put away their weapons, and high-fived each other he relaxed slightly, sensing no harm.
"Are you okay?" one asked, motioning to his forearm. Anikan glanced down at the small stream of blood seeping out of a pinprick size cut. He tried to heal with the force but felt no response.
"Damn it!" he cried, realizing that the orcs had some how managed to inject him with a force-inhibiting drug.
"What's the matter?"
"I need to go. I have to find my master." The young Jedi replied nervously.
"No. You fought with amazing skill for one so young, but they would have subdued you if we hadn't arrived. You'll come with us to Rivendell. If your 'master' doesn't return soon Elrohir and I will go look for him." Anikan was about to protest, but Elladan cut him off gently. "I'm Elladan. What is your name?"
"Anikan." The teenager replied numbly. He allowed himself to be steered out of the camp and back in the direction of Rivendell.
Next update: don't know yet. so sorry.
