Chapter 2
The ship Outsider dropped out of hyperspace and began its decent to the
planet Fabron's surface. The planet was populated with a species of alien known
as Fabronians. They were humanoid with black skin and each Fabronian had hair
that was the shade of the different colors of the rainbow. The Jedi had been
called on to help establish the new Government on the plant.
For years
Fabron had been ruled by a Monarchy that gave privileges to the nobles and other
high-class citizens. While the common people had the weight of taxes and hard
labor. The unease of the people caused a revolution and the Monarchy was over
thrown and the planet was temporarily being controlled by the parliament.
As Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan descended the exit ramp, they were met by an
assistant to the parliament.
They were led to a meeting room where the 7
head members of the Fabron parliament sat. A male Fabronian stood as the Jedi
entered.
"Master Jedi I am grateful that you and your apprentice could
come all the way down here but I must confess that I am sort of confused as to
why you are here.," the man said. "None of the members of parliament called for
Jedi help." This took qui-Gon back.
"The Jedi council received a message
from the Fabron Parliament." Qui-Gon stated. A woman with ice blue hair spoke
up.
"It is true that we are having a few problems but nothing we can not
handle." She said. Something wasn't right here Qui-Gon could feel it.
"The Jedi are welcome to stay until their ship returns." The same man
spoke. " I am Evzen I will show you where you can stay." Evzen walked to the
door and motioned for the Jedi to follow him.
As the three walked down
the hall Qui-Gon made sure that Evzen was a few passes in front of them. Then
began to talk quietly to Obi-Wan.
"Be wary Padawan I sense I disturbance
in the force.," he said in a low tone.
"Yes Master." Obi-Wan said. He
could feel it too. It was only a hint of something. Not far but not close
either.
Evzen showed them to their rooms and then left saying that he
had important matters to attend to. Qui-Gon turned to his Padawan.
"Get
some sleep Obi-Wan. I'll see you in the morning." He said. It was late in the
evening and Qui-Gon could see his apprentice was tired. After 9 hours on a star
ship even a Jedi could experience a little jet lag. Obi-Wan nodded.
"Night Master." he said with a yawn and began to walk into his room. He
didn't bother to turn on the light he just wanted to sleep...
And that's
when he felt it a disturbance in the force it was close this time. He turned in
time to see the blade of a ruby red lightsaber come to life. He immediately went
for his own lightsaber and brought it up to counter the mysterious attackers
move.
The attacker came at Obi-Wan with another series of move which
Obi-Wan countered without fault. The attacker's blade was locked with Obi-Wan's
and he was trying to push obi-Wan to the ground so he could have the advantage
and his plan was working, until obi-Wan turned out of the lock. The attackers
blade cut into obi-Wan's arm. The clenched his teeth. The burning white pain
that shot threw his arm was incredible. The attacker saw Obi-Wan was distracted
and kicked Obi-Wan's feet out from under him. Obi-Wan hit the ground and slammed
the back of his head hard on the wooden floor. The Last thing he remembered
before blacking out was the dark figure of the attacker standing over him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Qui-Gon was in his own room when he felt
the disturbance in the force and then a sharp pain shot threw his arm. One name
came...
"Obi-Wan." he muttered under his breath. He immediately rushed
out of the room his lightsaber already in his hand.
When he entered
Obi-Wan's room it was pitch black with only a small amount of light coming from
the moonlight in the window. Qui-Gon turned the lights on and saw that Obi-Wan
was nowhere to be seen. He walked further into the room and his boot hit
something on the floor.
Looking down he saw it was Obi-Wan's lightsaber.
At a closer inspection he also noticed that there was some blood on the wooden
floor.
Qui-Gon's heart rate quickened. No He thought, this
can't be happening.
Qui-Gon ran out of
the room. It was a setup. He should have known! He rebuked himself for not
seeing it earlier and letting this happen to his Padawan. The anger he was
feeling was burning inside him. No stop it. He told himself. If he was going to
find his Padawan he had to be calm.
He ran down the hall and came to the
meeting room where he had been only a half hour ago. He burst through the doors.
The room was empty when he entered but he heard a noise coming from the back
room in the far corner. Qui-Gon walked over to the door it was half open and he
could hear a voice. He stood by the door and listened to the conversation.
"I delivered the boy to you now I want you to keep your end of the deal.
You promised us an army so we can make the supporters of the Monarchy that
oppressed us for all those years pay." It was Evzen and it was quite clear who
the boy he was talking about was. Qui-Gon's anger began to rise again but he
quickly pushed it down and opened the door.
Evzen jumped when the door
suddenly opened and a look of pure terror came over his face when he saw
Qui-Gon. Evzen turned off the com-link he was talking on and dropped it. He
slowly began to take a few steps back wanting to put as much distance between
him and the Jedi a possible.
"What have you done with my Padawan?"
Qui-Gon demanded. Evzen just stared at him for a minute terror paralyzing him.
"I…I have no idea w…what you are talking about." Evzen stuttered.
Qui-Gon took a step closer. Evzen fearing the worst came clean. "He took him!"
"Whose is 'he'?" Qui-Gon asked. Evzen fell silent again. Qui-Gon took
another step.
"The Sith! He said he would provide us with an army if we
lure the two of you here so he could take Obi-Wan."
"Where did he take
him?" Qui-Gon asked urgently.
"I don't know." Evzen said. Qui-Gon to
another step, "I swear I don't know!" Evzen said. Qui-Gon left the room and
quickly went to make plans to lave as soon as possible.
He had
taken first transport he found, that was heading to Coruscant. He called head to
the Jedi council telling them that the mission had been a set up and that
Obi-Wan had been taken by a sith. The Council was shaken by this news. It was
thought that the Sith were all wiped out. They assumed that qui-Gon had been
mistaken when he called the man who took Obi-Wan a Sith. Qui-Gon himself hoped
that he was wrong.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Obi-Wan's vision
was blurry as he opened his eyes. He was in a small room lying on a bed. There
was one window a good couple meters above him and there were iron bars over it.
Over in the corner there was a door with a small window that also had bars over
it. He tried to bring his hand to his face but found he could only lift his
hands a few inches. Looking down he saw that his wrist and ankles were strapped
down. Where the hell am I. He thought to himself. He tried to access the force
but it evaded him. He began to panic. What was going on? Why couldn't he use the
force?
The door opened and a figure walked in. He stood by Obi-Wan's
bed. He was looked to almost as tall as Qui-Gon with dark short hair and
clean-shaven face.
"Hello Obi-Wan." The man said.
"How do you
know my name?" Obi-Wan asked. He could feel the waves of darkness coming from
the man.
"I know a lot about you. I know that you are one of the most
remarkable students in the temple and one of the greatest Jedi of your
generation." The man said.
"Who are you what do you want with me?"
Obi-Wan asked still trying to use the force.
"I Am Darth Demogorgon and
I have an offer for you Obi-Wan Kenobi. Join me and become my apprentice. Learn
the true nature of the force." Demogorgon said.
"I'd die before I'd
turn." Obi-Wan said with fierce determination. Demogorgon nodded.
"That
is a very tempting offer but why simply kill you when psychological torment can
be so much more effective." He said with an evil grin. "You see Obi-Wan right
now you are on the planet Klaus in the Oles Mental institution. This place
should have been shut down years ago. When their funding was cut because of
reports of mistreatment and mal-practice but I helped them with their funding
and in return they are helping me. I'll return in a few weeks to see if you have
changed your mind about my offer." As he spoke that last sentences another
person entered the room holding a needle. "Oh and by the way you won't be able
to use the force because of the force suppression drug we gave you." Demogorgon
turned and left the room. The second person came next to Obi-Wan and stuck the
needle in the side of his neck and injected the blue/green liquid into him.
Within a matter of seconds the drug was coursing threw his veins. Right away
Obi-Wan noticed that he was suddenly unable to move. His panic began to rise
again.
