Blaze: yay!

Darth: woohoo

Anakin: where were you last chapter?

Darth: torching Palpypie

Palpypie: that was not nice!

Darth: (pulls out flame thrower)

Palpypie: (runs away)

Blaze: hahahaha

Qui-Gon: hi

Blaze: I said no characters not in this story are allowed in here! (Kicks Qui-Gon out)

Qui-Gon: all you had to do was ask

Blaze: (laughs) here's chapter 12 and I hope that you like it. Oh and the Synths mentioned are the same creatures as in Whispers of Daybreak and Far From Over and that's just cause there needed to be an enemy on Ziost and I decided to use an enemy that I'm used to using.


Chapter 12

Premonition


Obi-Wan narrowed his eyes as he flipped backwards to avoid Sillia as the young woman leapt at him, her ruby blade flashing rapidly. He quickly blocked the blow with his blue lightsaber before pushing back enough that Sillia nearly lost her balance but managed to keep a hold on her feet.

"You are good, you would have made a good Jedi," Obi-Wan commented.

"My life is what the Tribe decides for me," Sillia replied leaping forward and Obi-Wan dodged out of the way before wincing as Sillia's lightsaber grazed his shoulder. Anakin was watching nearby with the small infant Luke in his arms. Earlier that day, Anakin had his duel with Sillia's Black Trainee, known as Alyssa, and had beaten her without once using his anger.

Obi-Wan also didn't know how much longer Anakin would be able to last before he broke and he had a feeling Anakin's son, his nephew in everything but blood, was helping with that. He was distracted only momentarily and, as Sillia leapt at him, he barely managed to avoid her ruby blade. She and Obi-Wan had gotten along well since Obi-Wan came to the Tribe eleven months ago and she was one of the only ones that wasn't try, every waking second, to turn him to the dark side.

She was also good at lightsaber combat and, in Obi-Wan's opinion, she was kind of attractive with wavy blonde hair that was currently up in a ponytail beneath the hood of her cloak and narrowed dark green eyes. Obi-Wan shook his head to clear his thoughts, forcing himself not to think about how attractive Sillia was as he leapt backwards to avoid the High Council Advisor's lightsaber.

"You are good," Sillia commented. "But are you good enough to best me?" She leapt forward before swinging her lightsaber in such rapid ascension that Obi-Wan was barely able to block all of the blows and missed one of them. The final blow grazed his leg and he momentarily staggered backward but still managed to block another blow

Anakin chuckled and Obi-Wan glanced at him. "What's so funny, Anakin?" he asked flipping backward to avoid Sillia's blade.

"Nothing Master," Anakin replied.

Obi-Wan rolled his eyes skyward before sighing as he blocked another blow. "I'm not even going to bother asking," he muttered before he winced as Sillia's red blade grazed his shoulder.

Sillia smirked. "The Jedi Order held you in such regard and yet you seem to get more distracted than your former apprentice," she said.

"How did she know that?" Anakin exclaimed and Luke gazed up at his father with round confused eyes.

Obi-Wan smiled slightly at the sight of the small infant and leapt backwards to avoid Sillia's blade. "It's simple," he said. "They know much about the events of the galaxy, it was they who told me that you were exiled from Coruscant soon after I left for Utapau."

"Strange," Anakin muttered. "Do they know about anything that's happening know? The last thing I heard was about the new Sith Lord Darth Ira and that was it."

"Darth Ira is someone you all know," Sillia said and, seeing the confused looks of both Anakin and Obi-Wan, she added, "there are a select few of our Dark Sabers that can see the future, the past and the present, we call them Shadow Seers. It was the Shadow Seers that told us of this new Sith Lord though the Shadow Seer didn't see who it was, he only saw that it was someone you all knew."

Anakin frowned. "Could it have been Mace?" he asked.

Obi-Wan narrowed his eyes. "Mace? A Sith Lord? Anakin, I think Alyssa hit your head too hard earlier today," he said.

"Well, it could be, Master Yoda told me that Mace was in danger of the dark side when he left Zharan and there was anger in Mace's voice when I last spoke with him. In the thirteen years that I've been apart of the Jedi Order, I've never seen or heard Mace sound so angry," Anakin replied.

Obi-Wan narrowed his eyes as he positioned his lightsaber horizontal across his chest, the symbol that the duel was at a pause in the Tribe of the Lost Sith. Sillia lowered her blade and Obi-Wan walked over to join his former Padawan. "Anakin, I'm sure it's nothing, from what I heard about the massacre of the Jedi Temple. The massacre was enough to make my blood boil so I'm not surprised Mace is a bit angry," he said.

"How did you know about the massacre at the Jedi Temple? I didn't even learn until Mace told me when we were heading out for Utapau," Anakin said.

Luke whimpered and Anakin glanced down at his son. "What's the matter, little one?" he murmured softly to the infant in his arms.

"Is he hungry?" Obi-Wan asked momentarily forgetting to answer Anakin's question, the lightsaber was still horizontal across his chest mainly because he knew Sillia would attack him if he didn't have his lightsaber positioned in the symbol for a pause in a duel.

"No, I fed him before we left the cell and Padmé already changed him so it's not that," Anakin replied.

"He's probably just wanting attention," Obi-Wan said.

Anakin shook his head. "I think he senses something. He sensed when I was angry when Alyssa was goading me earlier and he sensed the many disturbances that came with the massacre at the Jedi Temple," he replied.

Obi-Wan's eyes narrowed. "Is there anything dangerous on Ziost?" he asked Sillia who had deactivated her lightsaber, her dark green eyes still narrowed.

"The only thing that has ever threatened the Tribe of the Lost Sith were creatures known as Synths," replied Sillia. "They don't bother us, however, ever since we defeated and killed nearly half of their Clan the last time they attacked."

"Well, nonetheless, Luke's sensing something and he doesn't know what it is. I can't seem to pinpoint what it is either," Anakin admitted.

Sillia nodded. "I will speak with a Shadow Seer and find out if they have heard anything," she said before she clipped her lightsaber to her belt. "We'll call this duel a draw, Obi-Wan, though I did have you beat."

Obi-Wan narrowed his eyes. "Not really," he said.

Sillia snorted before she walked out of the training area and Obi-Wan watched her go before he turned his gaze to Anakin who was watching him with a knowing look in his eyes. "What?" he asked.

Anakin chuckled. "Nothing," he said and Obi-Wan's eyes narrowed even more but he didn't comment on it even though he knew Anakin was keeping something from him. Which isn't anything new, Obi-Wan thought.


Anakin walked calmly into the cell with Obi-Wan just behind him and Padmé glanced up at him, Anakin noticed that Padmé was gently rocking Leia back and forth and the eleven month old infant was asleep in her mother's arms. Luke was gazing around with fear-filled blue eyes and he was occasionally letting out a whimper.

"What's the matter with him?" Padmé asked.

"I don't know, he's sensing something but I can't seem to figure out what it is," Anakin replied before breaking off and letting out a long yawn.

Padmé's eyes softened. "Why don't you try to get some sleep?" she suggested. "I'm sure Obi-Wan wouldn't mind watching over Luke while you sleep."

Anakin glanced at his former master who was already asleep on a nearby cot, snoring softly as he slept. "I think we're too late," he said and Padmé chuckled in amusement.

"I can watch them for a while, Anakin, and I'll try to get them both to fall asleep. You need to sleep too," she said.

Anakin sighed. "All right," he said. He gazed at his son before gently touching his nose to Luke's. "I'm going to give you to your mother now, okay?" he asked in a soft voice.

Luke whimpered but nodded once and Anakin gently handed the infant to Padmé who shifted her grip on Leia so that she could hold both twins in her arms. Anakin gazed at his wife and his twin children for a long moment before he walked over to his cot, lied down and closed his eyes before he slowly drifted off to sleep.


The dream-vision began almost as soon as Anakin fell asleep and he found himself waking up in a dark lit area. He knew he was having a premonition as he has been having premonitions since he started seeing his mother in pain before the Battle of Geonosis.

This vision was a strange one, however, and Anakin suddenly realized he was in a forest, surrounded by thick trees and he instantly recognized the forest that surrounded the palace on Ziost.

Creatures covered with black or green scales with flaring red eyes and thick tails that cleared the land with one sweep of their tails. They were carrying blasters and daggers in their arms and Anakin noticed they were walking in a formation that reminded Anakin of the way clone troopers marched when they were getting ready to head into battle.

"We will destroy the Tribe once and for all," the sound of a cold voice cut through the silence like a knife and Anakin looked in the direction of the voice and he spotted a creature with a combination of black and green scales with one black eye and one red eye. He was carrying a blaster in one hand and a dagger in another.

"How will we get past their defenses and what of those lightsabers? Those things can block blaster bolts," another creature called out.

"They can block blaster bolts but they cannot block daggers," the lead creature said coolly. "We are going to attack when they least expect it so that we shall have the advantage."

"And when will that be?" another creature called out from the back of the crowd.

"The night of the blue moon," the lead creature replied with a cruel smirk. "On the night of the rare blue moon, we shall destroy the Tribe of the Lost Sith once and for all."

"What is the plan? Do we take hostages or what?" another creature called out.

"The Synth Clan does not take hostages of those vile creatures, they have killed much of our kin and we are going to kill much of their kin as well. We shall have revenge and destroy the Tribe. We will not take prisoners and we will kill however many we can," the lead creature, Anakin figured was a Synth, said coolly.

"What about the children that are with them?"

"The children will grow to become the vile creatures apart of the Tribe of the Lost Sith and so you must kill them all, show no mercy to anyone, whether they be a tiny baby to the oldest elder," the Synth said.

Anakin stared in horror at the Synth. They were planning on attacking on the night of the blue moon and they were going to kill everyone, even children! Anakin may not like being the Tribe's prisoner but he knew he couldn't just stand by and watch as innocent children are slaughtered.

I have to warn them, one way or another, he thought determinably.
