~Xanatos

2 million Ukreyas.

That's how much I offered Watoo for his two slaves. And he took it right away.

So now both Skywalkers belong to me, basically they're free. It's great. And I should be happy. I have fulfilled the promise I made all those years ago to Adrios.

But as of now I have never been so miserable in my entire life.

All this time the only thing that really concerned me was Obi-Wan.

I really didn't care if I had enough money to free the Skywalkers or not. I really didn't care if I got lost or attacked in this disastrous town.

All I cared was that Obi-Wan was hurt. And it was my fault.

I didn't mean it. I swear I didn't. Never in a million years would I have ever thought of hurting him the way I did just under an hour ago.

Obi-Wan is like my son. As much as it doesn't seem like it, I love and care for him as though he where my own son. And to have hurt him like this……..I probably just added to the pain of the trauma he went through just last night.

Force….it seems like so long ago that he jumped out of that nightmare and begged me not to leave him…….

I am pulled out of my thoughts by a familiar voice "XANATOS!!!!"

Looking up I see Anakin running towards me.

Wow I reached the house awfully fast…..I look past Anakin and saw, stalking back and forth in front of the house……..Obi-Wan.

As Anakin screams my name, Obi-Wan looks up and meets my gaze with bloodshot grey eyes.

The sight and the glare he gives me just makes me want to kill myself for being so stupid. I immediately look down and away from that powerful gaze.

"Xanatos! Xanatos! Is it true?!" Anakin yells as he runs up to me "Is it true that you set me and mom free?" He stares up at me with his big blue eyes, and massive grin.

"Yes….." I mumble forcing a smile "Yes I did."

His grin becomes even larger and he latches himself onto my leg, into a hug "Thank you so much Xanatos." He mumbles. I ruffle his hair and look past him, to where Shmi walks out of the house with 2 suitcases.

I see her say something to Obi-Wan, then they both walk to me, Obi-Wan a step behind her.

"I really don't know whether to thank you or be disgusted with you." She growls, then walks past me. Obi-Wan follows her, not bothering to look anywhere but the desolate sandy ground..

I stare after them for a while before Anakin grabs my wrist and pulls me to follow them "Come on! We gotta get to your ship right?" he yells.

I nod.

As we walk into and away from town I stay several steps behind Shmi and Obi-Wan, but right next to Anakin.

And after a while Anakin says "Are you and Obi-Wan mad at each other?"

The question takes me by surprise. Is it that obvious?

"No." I lie "Why do you ask?"

"I dunno" Anakin shrugs "It's just that you and Obi-Wan are usually walking and talking. And….well Obi-Wan didn't even say anything to you when you came back."

I look down. He's right. Usually me and Obi-Wan walk and talk. It's what we always do. I mean we always have something or other to share with one another.

But now he's just flat out shielding against me.

After a while the ship comes into view and it really relieves me. We're finally here.

When suddenly an incredibly strong force presence overwhelms my senses, and all too fast I realize, not only is this a dark presence, but it's somewhere around only 20 feet behind us, and coming closer…..fast.

I spin around and the first thing I see is a black land speeder rushing towards us, kicking up dirt all around.

And my first reaction is to reach over to my side, throw my arms around Anakin's chest and pull him aside.

Unfortunately I jump back and upon landing, loose my footing, and both Anakin and I end up falling onto the sand.

"Come on Anakin." I growl pulling him to his feet. Anakin has to make it to Coroscant. At all cost.

But as I begin to pull him towards the ship, I see what makes my heart jump to my throat.

Obi-Wan, whom the land speeder had caught up to, had just realized something was going on behind him, and just as he turns to see what, the speeder slams into him head-on, throwing him against the side of the ship some 20 feet away.

My heart completely stops when I loose sight of him through the sand, and the speeder comes rushing back towards us.

I tighten my grip on Anakin's wrist.

"Xanatos, what's wrong?" he asks, his voice shaking. He is afraid.

Something tells me that's not a good thing…..his fear.

But before I get a chance to answer him the speeder gets far too close for my liking. I pull Anakin towards the ship, and eventually break into a run towards the ramp. I see Shmi waiting at the ramp, she must have made her way after Obi-Wan was……….

I am pulled back to reality as the humming of a saber comes to my ears. And as I spin around and draw my own saber I see the gruesome ugly face of our attacker.

A Zabrak.

He somersaults out of his speeder and stabs his blood red lightsaber towards me, which I manage to block. And within a matter of seconds he and I are fully engaged in battle.

"Go in Anakin! Stay in the queen's room with your mother until I say to come out, understood?" I yell back at Anakin.

I hear a faint reply of "Got it" before Anakin's force presence disappears behind me.

And I return my full attention to my battle

This Zabrak is talented. And something bothers me about his use of such a colored lightsaber.

His fighting style looks familiar as well. But I shake it off as I thrust my saber against his for the hundredth time. And then the thought of Anakin returns to me. I pray he is safe, and I pray he had the sense to go to the ship.

Because if he already hasn't then all of this will have been in vein.

And as much as I hate to admit it, this guy is completely tiring me out right about now.

This takes effect after a while when he smashed the hilt of his saber into my nose. I take a step or two backwards.

Pain shooting up my nose. And just when I'm about to regain my posture he stabs me with his bare hand at the back of my neck.

Immediately I feel my senses being fogged up. It takes almost all my energy to keep myself from becoming unconscious on the spot, but unfortunately I don't clear myself up fast enough.

Because next thing I know, the Zabrak has his saber raised to strike me down.

And then the world seems to freeze for a moment as I realize……..that this is the end.

I am going to die.

I can't die. I just can't. I don't think I can die knowing Obi-Wan is mad at me. Knowing I let him down. I can never rest in peace knowing that.

I just can't.

And with that thought time regains its normal speed and just when the blood red saber is about to come crashing down on me, the Zabrak turns and blocks something at his side. And only when he is pushed backwards, do I realize that what he blocked was the heat of Obi-Wan's saber coming down on him.

Yes Obi-Wan. He had redeemed himself. He had attacked the zabrak………

He had saved my life.

I see Obi-Wan viciously attacking the zabrak and pushing him further backward. The sight makes me so proud.

It makes me so proud that Obi-Wan has come so far that now…..now he is strong enough to battle out someone who tired even me out.

I clip my lightsaber onto my belt and watch.

And just when it looks like he is going to demolish this creature, he stabs Obi-Wan in the chest with his elbow, and throws the saber right out of his hand.

Naturally Obi-Wan stumbles backward and then falls in pain. Pain that I almost feel myself.

For it hurts me as much to see this as it actually hurts him.

The zabrak smirks at him then begins to walk closer…..ready to strike my Padawan down.

And suddenly something clicks.

What the hell was I doing standing here like this?

/Obi-Wan!/

I scream into our bond, praying he hears. Thankfully he does and he turns his head to look back at me.

As he does I unclip my saber off my belt and throw it, with as much accuracy as I possibly could.

And just when the zabrak is about to bring his saber crashing down on my padawan, Obi-Wan catches the saber, activates it, and blocks the hit.

I sigh in relief and take that second to dash into the ship.

Many people approach me as soon as I do but the first thing that comes out of my mouth is "TAKE OFF"

My command is not taken lightly, and a second later we're in the air.

"Fly low" order as I walk into the cockpit.

Holy shit I feel like collapsing. But I have better things to worry about.

"Obi-Wan is still down there. Keep the ramp down." I command as I look over one of the pilot's shoulder at a few read-outs.

It reminds me of Obi-Wan….

"You know one would expect the renowned Jedi Knight Xanatos Omega to be supervising the pilots when they where some where around 30 seconds from coming out of hyperspace. You know sort of like looking over some pilot's shoulder and looking at the coordinates- you know what? Not even looking! Just pretending to look for the sake of looking cool or something. And you know-"

"Ow what was that for?!"

"Meh…I'm bored."

"Hey where are you going?"

"To go look cool"

I can't loose him. I just can't. This has to work and I have to get Obi-Wan back on this ship, safe and alive.

I look out the windshield and see the heated battle raging on between Obi-Wan and that……that………possibly….that possibly Sith.

"There." I say pointing at the battle "Get lower near there."

"Yessir" one of the pilots mumble then turn the ship towards the battle.

And once again I see something that makes my heart stop.

The green glow of my saber has disappeared. There is only a red. "Get the medic droids to the ramp area immediately" I say in an unusually panicked tone.

Then I fly out of the cockpit, my breath suddenly coming in short panicked gasps. I run towards the ramp and see a strangled, bleeding figure barely make the jump up to the ramp.

And as the ramp closes up, the figure collapses……….Obi-Wan collapses. This only makes my breath even shorter and I run over to his side.

"Obi-Wan!" I call as I lift his limp form onto my knee.

Force, he's not responding…..the sight of him makes me sick.

Both his arms are bleeding from the sides, there's a bloody cut across his cheek, a cut running down his chest and a rather deep, nasty bleeding cut that ran from right under the left side of his jaw to his right collar bone. And his right wrist is unusually limp so I take it, it's broken.

"Come on kid, stay with me" I mumble bringing my ear to his mouth to see if he was breathing. For a long time there was nothing but after a few very long second he lets out small warm puffs of breath.

He's Alive.

My eyes scan his whole body once or twice more before I lower him onto the cold titanium ground and get ready to send some of my own life force to him, and attempt to keep him alive.

And just as I press my hands onto his chest, his eyes flutter open, in slits.

And even though the look he gave me was pretty hateful, it made me relieved. Relieved that at least he was conscious.

But what happened after that was something that left me cold and scarred for a while. Skywalker house.

Obi-Wan's trembling hand made it's way to my hand which was still on his chest. He then slid his hand to my forearm, dug his nails into my flesh like he had back in the Skywalker house.

And shoved my hand off of his chest. Then just before passing out again, growled "I Hate You."
