Hello to all. I'm so sorry the last post was so short. . but this should be
the end of the story. Thanx to Ginger Ninja for posting. Sidenote: everyone
must watch The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. .a great
movie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Then so be it," Obi-Wan shrugged. 'You're still coming."
Kit was smart enough not to run, and Jinn quickly bound her with one of the guard's spare binders. Thinking fast, he gagged her for good measure.
"Uh Master? I think it might be time to run now."
"'I've got a better idea." He led them to the speeder and shoved Kit in the passenger seat while Obi-Wan went for the back.
The sped off just as the first Hutt sized meteors hit the earth. Qui- Gon swirved back and forth on the road to be a moving target.
The sound was deafening. Several oud clashes and bangs that never ceased polluted the ears of listeners. Obi-Wan stood up in his seat as the forest gave way to plains as the neared the cafeteria. Scorching holes marred the once beautiful land and they boy could see a fire destroying the area where Thera worked. Thankfully, it looked as if everyone had escaped.
Suddenly, a boom louder than all the others sounded and a powerful force knocked him off balance. He fell off the speeder with a cry, rolling over and over in the road, out in the open. 'Oh Sith!' Obi-Wan tried to reach for the bond to tell Qui-Gon to come back, but he couldn't concentrate long enough with all the action goin on. When a meteor, burning with all it's fury, landed not far from him, his mind was made up. 'Run Kenobi!'
And he did. e ran harder and faster than he ever had before. The road ahead curved and ran upward in a slight hill. A crumpled form rose from it's small position and turned around. 'Thera!' As he ran past, he grabbed her arm and brought her with him. "Come on! Hold on to my arm!"
As she did, he used the Force to make them run at twice the speed they were. The mini-capital, in all of it's former glory and now ruin, rose as the two ran. Also, Qui-Gon's ship came into view, as did the worried Master scanning the horizon for any signs of his charge. It didn't take long to reach the ship and as they neared Ob-Wan could see his Master visibly relax. "I was about to go after you," he said.
Quickly the ship was powered up and raced towards the atmosphere, dodging meteors all the way. For the next couple of hours, Qui-Gon navigated his way through the 'Cloak of the Sith', somehow missing everything. With a course set for Coruscant, the shuttle entered hyperspace in a blur of color.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Obi-Wan stood on the small balcony of his and Qui-Gon's quarters barefoot as the city's programmed light snow fell. A month had passed since he had returned with Qui-Gon. The boy smiled as he remembered everyone's reactions. His neck still hurt from Bant's tight hug. He had returned to training and classes after a week's stay at the healers.
Kit had been tried and convicted, now spending her remaining days on one of Coruscant's moons. Obi-Wan had been a witness, causing many bad memories triggered and many slepless nights in the comforting embrace of his Master. Republic Aid efficiently made it's way to Roon and rescued the surviving slaves from the shower. The last he heard, they were still in the process of finding places for the people.
Thera had gone to another part of Coruscant, recieving a job at a clinic. She said she would call when she was settled in with a place to live.
Obi-Wan smiled again as he watched speeders, transports, and other things go by in the night sky. No other nightlife was like that of Coruscant; his home. The stas shone brightly, helping to illuminate the city. How he mised this. Sure he cold've looked at the stars from Roon, but the feeling wouldn't have been the same. White air flowed out of his mouth, exhaust systems, and other things as the chilled air made itself known.
A soft whoosh alerted Obi-Wan that Qui-Gon had returned. He heard Qui- Gon come onto the balcony, and winced as he scolded, "You should have your robe on. . . . and your boots. Unless you want to get sick and have to stay at the healers again."
"Sorry Master. What did Master Yoda say?"
"We're on leave for another two months." The Master gave the boy a ruffle on his almost fully grown out hair, making it spike up. Soon one section would be long enough to make his braid again. Qui-Gon wrapped his robe clad arms around the boy to help warm him. "We should go inside."
//Just a few minutes longer?//
//Oh. . . . alright.//
//They're beautiful Master. The stars.//
//They are. We should go back in.//
//Yes Master.// "Master?" Obi-Wan spoke aloud again.
"Yes Padawan?"
"I love you."
In response Qui-Gon held the boy tighter, "I love you to0, my son."
THE END
It's done! :) Yay! School starts soon, so I won't have as much time to post. Until then. . buh bye.
