Attention Readers! As needs to be said, this is my creation, and many things from the EU are used but have been slightly changed to create an amazing story that will both thrill and shock. Many things have also been created and substituted, so, if you don't like, don't read, but do not say it is not good if you don't give it a shot. ;)
I do not own anything from the Star Wars universe. The only thing I own is the plot and the characters from the Grey planet.
Chapter 1
The galaxy was no stranger to ships flying around it, and ships were no stranger to flying through the seemingly endless vacuum of stars and systems. Especially one young man, flying around looking for allies in the seemingly unwinnable war he was fighting in now.
His partner and old master was in the back, speaking to the council about where to head to next, and if anyone out there would even help the Republic fight if they were not sided with the Separatists already.
"The council thinks we should turn back; there is no one else that they can think of that has not already chosen a side." The man's partner commented sadly, coming back from the communication room on their small ship.
"There has to be someone else out there Obi-Wan, we can't win this war without extra help, and we can only get so many Clones so fast. Don't you think that there is someone else out there that would be willing to help us?" The piolet complained to his friend.
"I don't know Anakin, there are probably others out there, but we don't have the time. Master Yoda said that we are needed back on the front lines as soon as we get back." He paused for a moment, looking grave. "We are losing this war Anakin; I don't know how much longer the Republic can keep fighting" Obi-Wan told his old Padawan.
"I know Master, but if we can just find someone, then maybe we can surprise the Separatists and get the upper hand for once. We can-" Obi-wan cut him off.
"I know you want to believe that Anakin, I do to. But we must face the facts; we will have to win in some other way. The Republic has stood for over a thousand years, and as long as the Jedi are around to protect it, it will not fall."
"I know Master. I just sometimes want to stop fighting. I want to be able to do something other than always be fighting." Anakin said angrily.
"You, not wanting to fight, that doesn't seem like the Anakin I know."
Anakin looked down at the control panels, "I know, but sometimes I wish that we could just stop, even if only for a little while, so I could do something else, so I could..." He left the words hanging, but Obi-Wan knew what he was going to say.
"So you could look for Ashoka." Obi-Wan finished for his friend.
"Yes" Anakin explained softly, looking back up and at the open space in front of him. "It's been three months Master, three months and she still hasn't written back. She would never do that, even after she left it would always be a week or so but never this long, and now I cannot feel our force bond, what if something happened to her."
"She's strong in the force Anakin, and she learned from the best. I don't think that she is in too much trouble, if she is in any." The Jedi told his friend, wanting to take him out of the sadness he was feeling for his lost Padawan.
"What if it was me Obi-Wan. What if I left and you had no idea where I was." Anakin started, wanting his old master to know the pain he was feeling for his old Padawan.
She had been like a sister to him, maybe even like a daughter in some ways. That was how Padme felt about her anyways; his wife had been so distraught after Ashoka had left the order. When Ashoka came to her a few days later to return an item that belonged to Padme, she made her stay overnight and begged her to take a job in the senate or to just stay on the planet before Ashoka told her that she had to leave, giving Padme a similar speech to what she had told Anakin. She had promised to write every week or so to her and then left, the only thing that Padme and Anakin had been getting for the last year had been those letters, and Obi-Wan didn't know it, but they were the only things that kept Anakin from running off to find his old Padawan.
"I would know that you were doing what you needed to do, and that you would call if you needed help. Anakin, I know it's hard but..." Anakin stopped listening to his Master and looked at his controls and his coordinates; something wasn't right with them, or the force.
"Obi-Wan," He said. "Do you feel that?"
"Feel what Anakin?" Obi-Wan asked
"Exactly" Anakin said as he tried to gain position on where he was, they were last in the space above the planet Ni'taee'shes, a neutral planet but in the Republic Senate, now they were in an unknown place with the purple and green planet nowhere in sight.
"Anakin where are we?" Obi-Wan asked standing up from his seat noticing that they were not in the right part of space.
"I don't know, one minuet we were in orbit around Ni'taee'shes, now . . . I don't know" the expert pilot told as he was still trying to get coordinates to come up.
"I'll go in the back and see if I can get any signal, see if the council can find us." He said has he walked to the back worriedly, leaving his old Padawan to figure out what had happened.
As the minutes turned into hours, neither Jedi could figure out what was going on with the ship, they couldn't contact the council and the ship wouldn't obey the controls, even when Anakin had tried to reboot the whole ship, which had been very cold two minutes. The ship was flying into territory neither Master nor Knight could recognize. All the star systems that they knew seemed to not exist where they were. Then after almost six standard hours, the controls started working again.
"What?" Anakin asked in surprise, not think that they would ever turn on again and they would be stuck in space till someone found them or died.
"I don't know." Obi-wan said not having a good feeling about what was going on.
"Where do you think we are?" The Knight asked his Master
"I don't know, I don't recognize any of the stars." Obi-Wan said uncertainly, looking at the space around them.
"Hey, I think I see a plant!" Anakin said suddenly as a massive grey planet came into their view. "the scans say there is life forms on the planet. Do you think they are advanced? We could use some fuel."
"I don't know, I have a bad feeling about this Anakin, we should just stay here and try and figure out where we are."
"Well neither of us recognizes this place so maybe we should talk to some locals" the young man said gesturing to the plant.
"Fine, do what you wish, but when we get captured or killed, don't blame me for it." The Master chilled with a look of disapproval, as his friend most likely flew them to their certain doom.
So yes this is a re-upload of the story I posted on here around a year ago, after a long thinking period and many revisions, along with many countless nights typing up background and creating a full plot I have lain out what I want this story to look like and have decided to put it back out on the web! I hope you all enjoy this story as it progresses and please DM me or comment if something bothers you about the plot or the characters, I have tried my hardest to make them as real as I can.
I do hope you enjoyed and do not forget to comment, favorite and follow. It really means a lot to me when you do that and encourages me to get out the chapters faster as most of them are only outlined and still need to be finished.
Thank you
