RATING: PG-13 (violence)
SPOILERS: JA #2, 5, 6
SUMMERY: When a negotiation turns sour, Obi-Wan fells into the hand of Xanatos, whose wicked mind still burning for revenge. Will he survive his ordeal? (I know it's brief, but I don't want to give too much away.)
AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is my first attempt at a fan-fic story, when my friend asked me to show them this story, I always warned them NOT to laugh before letting them to read it. So I'll expect you to do the same thing. It's not a humour story or anything, but…I think I'm just a little too self-conscious.
DISCLAIMER: The Great George owns everything that existed in the movie. Dave Wolverton and Jude Watson owns everything else in the JAs. But Cadar is definitely mine. (You'll find out who he is soon enough)
FEEDBACK: Yes please!
ARCHIVE: Please ask me first!
DEDICATION: To all my friends who had read my fan-fic and gave me constant support in writing it. And Ruth especially for giving me the name 'The Ultimate Fanboy', it's so cool!
THANKS: I would like to thank Dave Wolverton especially, for he had written JA #1 which is such a magnificent book that gave me the courage to read it right under my music teacher's nose. And OKEB fan members who had given me something to look forward to the next day. And of course also all the JA fan-fic writers who gave me so much inspiration in the short three month during which I began to read SW on the web. Thanks guyz!
Written in 2002 (so long ago! Yet I posted it 3 years later... and really embarrased, I have to say, its still not complete!)
I'll bet that all these talking had tired you…if you had bothered to read, which I hardly does myself anyway. Before you prepare youself for this adventure, I would like you to know a few things:
/ denotes talking through the Master/Padawan bond
denotes talking through telepathy
Italic denotes characters thinking to themselves
Chapter 1 – An Unusual Mission
"Padawan, wake up, it's time to get up. You only have one standard hour left to get ready." Qui-Gon called from the common room, preparing a delicious breakfast for the two of them.
When he received no reply, Qui-Gon set the breakfast on the table and walked to the door of Obi-Wan's room. Obi-Wan still had his head under the blanket, sleeping peacefully. Qui-Gon sighed, Obi-Wan was never a morning person, especially when he slept late the night before. "Obi-Wan, we have a meeting with the council today. It's a quiet important one, I certainly don't want to be late."
"Five more minutes Master." Obi-Wan muttered under his blanket, finally half-awake and stirring a little.
"No, Padawan, I need you to get up now. It's your own fault that you didn't sleep earlier last night." Qui-Gon said disapprovingly as he headed back to the kitchen.
Signing, Obi-Wan reluctantly uncovered himself from the warmth of the bed. It was a rather cold morning. He would love to just stay in bed a little longer. He wondered how Qui-Gon could always get up so early when he always work till midnight.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes as he emerged from his sleeping room. "Master, what does the council summon us for? We already have an assignment for tomorrow."
"I know, but there seemed to be a change of plan." Qui-Gon replied. "Yoda only informed me this morning and it seemed rather urgent, the rest we will have to find out when we arrived before the council."
"Another mission we have for you, rather urgent it is. Requested your presence specially the Senate has. Trust in you Qui-Gon the Supreme Chancellor certainly does." Yoda began after Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan bowed before the council.
"This mission was of the utmost importance. A spacecraft of unknown design was detected travelling close to the Outer Rim by the navi's sensor system." Mace Windu continued the explanation. "It landed on one of the Republic's planet three standard hours ago and claims to be from a neighbour galaxy thousands of millions of years away. They are a type of Humanoid unidentified. They wish to extend peace across the universe and requested to meet with our Supreme Chancellor, but they are not going to meet here on Coruscant."
"Coruscant is the heart of the galaxy, the most efficient shot is to the heart. And the aliens' quest might not be what it seemed." Qui-Gon reasoned, reciting the saying of some Jedi Master long dead.
"What the Senate believed, that is. Never underestimate the possible threats, one should." Yoda remarked.
"The meeting place will take place in the Mid Rim on Auchenflower of the Bris-Bane system. The Supreme Councillor will need the protection of the Jedi to be safe. The negotiation will take place this afternoon."
"We will do our best to protect the Supreme Chancellor. We accept the mission."
"Good, may your peace negotiation be a success. May the Force be with you."
"Visitors from outergalaxy! This is amazing, I heard that the scientist had never developed a spaceship fast enough to reach other galaxies carrying Humanoids." Exclaimed Garen, who was almost jumping up and down at the heat of the chat.
"Those aliens must look weird, maybe they have three heads and have a huge mouth on their stomach so that they could eat while talking. I heard that Auchenflowerian fruits are very nice, could you bring back some for me?" Reeft's abnormally wrinkled face became even more wrinkled from his huge grin at the thought of food, his eyes sparkling with hope.
"Reeft, can you stop thinking with your stomach for once. Obi-Wan, I heard that Auchenflower is a beautiful place and has many grand buildings, but the natives there are not exactly friendly." Bant turned serious as the galactic geography lesson she had the day before came into her mind.
"Really? I thought the Auchenflowerians are quite friendly."
"No, not the Auchenflowerians, it's the Tilco cats, they are the native beasts, cunning and clever, and deadly."
"The native animals should not be any threat to the civilizations. The cities are highly civilised and advanced. I heard that it looked almost like Coruscant."
"Still, Obi-Wan, be careful. Things is not always what it seemed."
"I guess I'll take that advice, thanks Bant. See you friends, I had to go now, our transport is here. May the Force be with you."
"And you too." The three friends said in unison. Waving and watching as Obi-Wan followed Qui-Gon and ascended into the transport.
