Obi-Wan is an adolescent, who had hit puberty to young, he had never kissed a girl not to mention the Jedi think that it is a sin to Jack-Off. So all and all he was a pretty miserable screwed-up kid, who just wanted to lose some tension. Without getting an embarrassing lecture about personal fulfillment of the lower areas every other week.
Qui-Gon on the other hand was very reserved and kept to himself, he was quite mindful of his Padawans late night activities, but he needed to let the boy have some sort of freedom. He was just a teenager and he remembered his late nights and a young man so he could not fault Obi-Wan for being curious as well.
"Why do we have to be here, life really does suck at the moment" grumbled Ob-Wan as he dragged his feet against the Gravel.
It had been a full day's trip to the planet Tenga, they had arrived on a small fighter jet, traveling at hyper speed. All the way Obi-Wan complained it was not like him to do so but he really thought this was a punishment that the council had come up with just to smite him for ever leaving the order and to ensure he would never do it again.
4 Hours Later, after they arrived
"OMG, we have been heading uphill forever, I'm not trying to complain Master, but I'm so very bored, tired and hungry."
"Patience," Qui-Gon said, "were almost there."
"You've been saying that for hours now, when are we really going to be there," Obi-Wan grumbled.
Upon arriving at the cave Obi-Wan was exaughsted and tried all he wanted to do was sleep, but that defiantly was not going happen any time soon. As soon as they unpacked their survival bags and set up camp and lit a fire, Qui-Gon had them both setting at opposite ends of the fire in a peaceful meditation to calm their minds and Obi-Wan inpatientness.
This went on for days when finally his master had decided that there meditation time was over and told Obi-Wan that he was free to roam around as he pleased. This was all well and good for him; he needed to stretch his tired legs and find some fresh fruit to eat.
It took Obi-Wan just over an hour to find a fruit tree that would not poison him, and set out a blanket and ate the yellow bluish fruit. It tasted like mango crossed with a strawberry, but it was still very good.
Little did Obi-Wan (he should have sensed it but everyone has blonde moments) someone had been following him, and I don't mean the good type of someone. This person was dressed in well defined camo and blended perfectly with the harsh nature of Tenga. As of now this persons motives were not known to anyone, but if Obi-Wan had noticed the figure would have given off a bad vibe, given the way he was sneaking around, kind of like a non-perverted peeping Tom (as to say.)
After Obi-Wan finished his Fruit he collected some for his Master and started to head back to the cave. Once back, he handed the fruit to his Master who thanked him kindly, and sat down to enjoy his meal. The fruit filled their stomachs with sweetness and the water they found in the near by stream, quenched their thirst.
Obi-Wan thought to himself, that was not turning out as bad has he had first thought it would when they arrived on this deserted Hellhole. He only wished that there could be some type of adventure or amusement to keep him occupied. Because the days went by slower than death could ever take.
That was the exact thought the camo dressed Mystery person thought as he/she watched from a distance perched on a tree, so he/she would not be detected, by the stronger forced Master. Boring was the only thought that came to this persons mind, these Jedi people were so boring that he/she thought of just killing them so, just to get back to more important missions. But, if that was done that would mean no money would be paid and these few weeks of near death boring would be in vain, so he/she had to wait it out.
But the time to strike was coming very soon!
Patience was defiantly something that Obi-Wan had to work very hard at, he had been meditating for days now, and once again his master had insisted that he train his mind and body to withstand anything, even boredom. So sit and sit and wait he did, while his mind raced, he had this strange feeling of being watch, but he could not place it. The atmosphere felt strange and not like it did when he had arrived. Obi-Wan thought that it must have been his boredom he was picking up on, and not something more sinister like evil lurking, stuck up in a tree (funny evil people.)
"Obi-Wan, I will be leaving for a short while, Master Yoda has asked me to bring him back some Grotica fruit for him, but unfortunately it is high up in the mountain. So my young Padawan you may roam free till I return, I should only been a day or so, understand?"
"YES Master," Obi-Wan said with much more excitement than Qui-Gon would have liked, but he let it go for now, the boy needed some time to relax.
As Ob-Wan watch Qui-Gon leave he felt a strange since of insecurity that he had not experienced for a long time, but he just closed his eyes and let it go. He was going to enjoy his day of freedom if it killed him. (Literally) "I wonder what a Grotica fruit is anyways, its sounds awful, but probably tastes good," Obi-Wan said aloud to himself.
"It does taste good, too bad you wont live long enough to taste the sweetness, little Jedi." (Says creepy-scary voice from the tree)
"Hey, come out now, show yourself, or ill come and find you" Obi-Wan said in a strong manly voice, with just a hint of fear.
"Now that would be no fun would it, come and see if you can find me I'm waiting, you pathetic weakling"
Well that did it Obi-Wan hated being called a weakling and that was his strongest weakness, so like he promised he would Obi-Wan began to search. To no prevail, he could not even find a clue as to where this person was, Obi-Wan was so confused he wished his Master were here, he would know what to do. Qui-Gon was much more a tuned to the force than he was.
"Awe does the Twital Jedi give up, how boring, you're no fun, don't you want to play with me."
"Your idea of fun probably is not the same as mine, now show yourself, I'm done with this game," Bellowed Obi-Wan for he did not know how close or far this person or even creature was, he couldn't even identify the gender of the voice.
"I'll give you a clue, I am near and far, not down, but else where near,"
"And that means what exactly, you make no since, why not just show yourself, maybe you're the coward," snickered Obi-Wan to the air. "If you say I am the weakling than come and face me and well see, than ill play your stupid game." With a strong voice he made that promise, but inside he was truly scared. What if this thing was strong and his master was no where close to him, even if he did call for help it would be too late, was he really willing to take that chance.
Qui-Gon did not mind the walk that was now all uphill and very exerting, but something was nagging at him, that he could not identify. Everything had been calm till about an hour ago when he felt the air change to, it felt like his Padawan's presence. But what could be wrong, his alertness had now changed to fear, was Ob-Wan in danger, had something happened, he had only been gone for a day now, and the boy was very cautious, he trusted him to stay out of trouble.
He had finally found the fruit and picked a few for Master Yoda, thinking that it was the most disgusting looking fruit he had ever held. It was blue, with pink spots and shaped like a two faced rat, with butt checks. It was a very strange fruit indeed, but he had more to worry about than the fruit, Obi-Wan was calling to him, it was faint but he could hear it.
Suddenly his mind went blank, and he had a vision, Obi-Wan was laying on the ground but it was not the camp they were at it was marble stone or something close to it. He was bleeding and barley awake, and there was the hooded figure standing over him, all Qui-Gon could see behind the mask was a wicked smile, and hear a voice that said, "You WILL keep your promise, weakling"
Upon arriving back at the camp it was a scene that would not be forgotten soon, tree branches lay scattered across the ground their tent and fire had been destroyed. There was blood on the blanket and near by leaves. The place looked like something he had see after months of war in one area. This was not good at all, and last he spotted the worst of all his Padawan's Lightsaber laying on the ground cover by leaves. He picked it up and touched the sticky red liquid that was still on the handle. Qui-Gon squeezed the hilt hard and swore to himself for ever leaving. He was more than mad, and you don't get in the way of a crazed-raged Jedi Master, especially when you're the one that pissed him off.
Running through rough terrain is not as easy as it sounds, you got twigs, branches, small critters that like to dig holes than hid them with leaves. So an unsuspecting raged Master would get his foot caught in one and fall half way down the hill, till he got up and broke every thing around him to make up for how stupid he felt for falling into an animals trap.
Qui-Gon had no idea where his Padawan was and he felt like all he was doing was running around in circles. He had tried to contact him via Comlink but he knew that it was hopeless to do so, but he had to try. All he knew is that his Padawan was somewhere probably in a cave, but it had what looked something like marble stone flooring. No cave he knew off on this planet had anything like that so it had to be made by man.
For hours now Qui-Gon had checked every single cave he could find on the map and even ones that had not been discovered. He knew that Obi-Wan had to still be on the planet he would sense if he was taken off planet, he hoped. It was now time to contact the Temple for help, he could no longer do this himself, and he needed some sort of advice.
"Master Yoda, Obi-Wan is missing, I only left him for a day, I can't find him anywhere, can you send help," Qui-Gon said via Comlink to Yoda and the Jedi masters at the Temple.
"Send help Master Gin we will, wait a couple a day you must, busy the Jedi are, fear the galaxy we do, Jedi to spare we do not have. Lose hope you must not, find Obi-Wan you will, May the force be with you." Yoda said in the riddle tone that all Jedi had gotten use to and respected.
"A couple of days maybe more, Obi-Wan will be dead by than, there's no point in waiting for help I'm on my own, this sucks" Qui-Gon grumbled to himself and he said good bye to Master Yoda and continued searching the hillside.
"So little weakling you awake yet, come on its no fun watching you sleep, I'd much rather have you awake," said creepy-crazed voiced who was once again looming over the defenseless Obi-Wan.
"Leave me alone, what do you want with me, if it's information you want ill never give in, you can even torture me" Obi-Wan's voice was weak, but he was able to manage a few words.
Obi-Wan was eventually able to sit up and look around at his surroundings; he figured that he was in a cave by the smell of it. There were dim lights strung up on the walls, and he was sitting on a smooth but hard surface. His whole body ached from all the cuts and bruises that he had endured while trying to fight off this enemy that now had him captured how stupid he had been, he had even lost his Lightsaber. Obi-Wan wondered if his master knew he was missing, he must by now, and hopefully he would be found quickly before this crazy person decided to take the torture idea seriously.
The dark figure moved closer to Obi-Wan as he flinch waiting for some sort of impact that never came. The figure handed him a glass of juice and warm bread. Obi-Wan stared at the bread and juice not so sure if he could drink it, for all he knew it could be poison or something worse.
"Just eat and drink it weakling, it won't kill you, I bet your hungry."
"Why are you giving me this I thought you were going to kill me, and how do I know this isn't poison," mumbled Obi-Wan not caring to look at the figure before him.
"Well for starters it's no fun playing with you if your weak so you need your strength, remember you promised to play with me, if you lost, don't you remember?"
"Yes I remember but what game do you want me to play."
"All in good time, little Jedi, all in good time." With that said the captor left leaving Obi-Wan alone to eat and drink.
Now was his chance, Obi-Wan slowly got to his feet (due to the pain) and started to look around. He found his comlink, how stupid this person was to leave his comlink laying around. So like any normal person would do Obi-Wan activated the comlink and dialed in Qui-Gon's comlink single.
"What the, OMG that hurt," Shouting Obi-Wan who was now gripping his hand after being practically electrocuted by the dam comlink. "What in God's name did that stupid contraption shock me for?"
So just like any man would do (women are smarter of course) Obi-Wan went and tried to activate it again this time using his left hand. Once again he screamed and dropped the comlink. A small Holo picture showed up and the tiny figure spoke "awe did the poor twiddle baby hurt his hands, I'm not dumb you know, you really think I would leave your comlink where you could find it, man you really are dumb." (Evil (--) Laugh) "Anyways little hurt Jedi I will be back in an hour due try to behave ok, it will be less painful for you," and with that the comlink shut it's self off, smoked, sizzled than died.
Obi-Wan walked towards it and kicked the thing in frustration and it smashed into tiny little pieces. Than Obi-Wan tried to kick himself because he could have tried to fix the comlink before he destroyed it. So instead he looked for a way out. There was only one door and it was heavily locked, if he had his Lightsaber than he could have easily cut through it, but like an idiot he had dropped it back at the camp site. The walls were shinning and slippery there was no way to climb up and he searched all the walls for any signs of cracks or holes. But, he came up with nothing, there was no way out he was trapped, and this was not good, he was starting to panic which he did not do often.
Qui-Gon was right out pissed and frustrated he was going in circles and getting nowhere, his Padawan was missing maybe hurt or even worse dead (although he was sure he would know if Obi-Wan had died) but that was not the point the point was he wanted to find Obi-Wan and the person that did this and give that person a piece of his mind. When he found this person he was going to show him or her just where his foot would be going if Obi-Wan was not in perfect condition.
He called Yoda back and their conversation had been short, Yoda said that help was on the way but would take a while to get there. The team that was sent had already been on a current mission and another team had to take over their mission before they could leave and come to help Qui-Gon. This made Qui-Gon mad but there was really nothing he could do about that situation, he only wondered what team was coming.
He had not slept or ate anything for a while now and he was starting to feel dizzy, but he had no intensions of losing time. But his dizziness prevailed and he was forced to sit and pick some fruit and eat, he found fresh water by a stream and quickly drank it up not caring if it was clean or not.
"Awe look at the big strong Jedi Knight, you look so confused, what are you looking for something important," Came a voice from the distance.
Qui-Gon quickly stood up and called out to the person, knowing right away that this person had his Padawan. He would not let this him escape, but if only he could find him that would really help.
"Catch me, catch me, catch me if you can, cuz I go to your twiddle friend, and I'm not giving him back."
"Show your self and I will fight you," bellowed Qui-Gon to the air sense he could not find the intruder.
"Really, Really, you'll fight me, but if you lose you must promise to play with me."
"What do you mean play with you, this is not a game, now come and fight me, Now!" Qui-Gon was getting agitated he just wanted this over with and his Padawan safe from harm.
"Awe are you worried about Obi-Wan he's fine, a few scrapes and bruises but he'll live, he's a tough one I have to admit. I did not think he would last so long fighting against me, it was quite splendid indeed. You have taught him well, but not good enough to beat me hahaha (evil laugh.)
Qui-Gon quickly scanned the area, he need to keep this person talking so he could locate where the voice was coming from. Finally he was able to track it and he struck quickly, but the intruder was quicker and jumped away surrounded by darkness.
"err," he got away.
