Man, why do I feel bad if I don't have a fic updated when I think it should be?
Happy New Year's Eve everyone! Remember to act responsibly today.
All of you are going to hate me when you get to the end of this chapter. No I mean it you're going to want to torture me.

Obi-Wan sighed as he and Anakin flew through the atmosphere of Zonama Sekot. Anakin was quieter than normal but Obi-Wan was grateful for the silence. Anakin usually talked his ear off about the planets that they were visiting and what not.
They got clearance to land and land they did.
Anakin didn't run for the gangplank like he usually did but followed behind him as they walked off. Obi-Wan could feel through the Force how wary Anakin was and that unsettled him.
Once they walked off the ship Obi-Wan noticed a group of people waiting for them. They looked uncertain at the sight of Anakin.
"Master Jedi, it is not safe for a child on the planet at this time." A Twi'lek man said. "We evacuated all of our young two days ago." He explained.
"What has happened here?" Obi-Wan asked. "We were attacked by unknown beings. They are merciless. They were only driven back for unknown reasons. We sent our children away once we were sure that it was safe." A human woman explained.
Concern raced through Obi-Wan. Information had been sparse but the Council felt that it would be safe enough for him to take Anakin with him.
It was then that everything fit together. How quiet Anakin had been and withdrawn. Obi-Wan found himself wondering how much Anakin knew about the situation.
Sirens suddenly wailed.
"They are back!" A member of the group cried.

Anakin watched from the safety of a bunker as the Yuuzhan Vong ravaged the planet with their 'fighters'. He could feel his father's rage at what was being done here.
Anakin finally decided that it was time to talk to the planet itself. He walked to an empty room in the bunker, sat down and waited Finally an image of someone that Anakin didn't know appeared in the room. "You wish to speak to me, Force Child?" the planet asked.
"We have to protect the people that settled here for the Yuuzhan Vong." Anakin told It. "They are going to be killed if we don't do something."
The image of the planet was giving looked uncertain. "I don't have the means to protect them. My parent taught me that there is a peaceful resolution to everything." The planet said softly.
Anakin wanted to throw something at It.
"My Mother taught me before I was born that it is our duty to protect those in our care and that if we fail that we will answer to Force or what every you call them." Anakin snapped.
The image flinched.
"I have no way to protect them." Was the faint whispered response.
Anakin turned in a full circle. "Couldn't you create Lighting Storms?" he asked curiously. Excitement burned in the image's eyes. "I can do that and I can make high winds along with other things!"

Obi-Wan was slightly startled at the sudden clap of thunder and the sound of rain pounding. He could tell that the others in the bunker were surprised as well by the rainstorm.
For several hours the rain fell accompanied by blinding flashes of lighting and deafening claps of thunder.
Suddenly the ground heaved a bit. As if something had crashed nearby.
For some reason that he couldn't understand Obi-Wan's hand went for his lightsaber. He could tell that he wasn't alone for everyone in that part of the bunker had reached for their weapons.
A few minutes past and hands drifted away from the weapons. Then something slammed into the door of the bunker. This time weapons came out.
Cautiously Obi-Wan and a Zabrak male headed to the entrance. Something or something was slamming the door. Curious Obi-Wan reached out with the Force and felt a void in the Force.
Suddenly the door opened and in walked a monster.
