A/N: Review please! :)
Summary:
What if ?
What if maybe, just maybe, Obi-wan didn't fight Anakin in Episode 3?
What if it was all a trick, and he fought someone else intirely?
What if......
___________
Obi-wan ran through the lava pits, letting the force guide him. Who was he running from? Anakin. His own padawan.
Anakin had been missing for sevral weeks, until Obi-wan had felt his presence on this strange, neglected planet, and had searched his apprentice out.
Now, he was face to face with Anakin, or what used to be Anakin.
"Come out, Master, you can't hide forever!" Anakin's voice called.
Obi-wan strengthed his shields and ducked behind a large rock formation.
"Master?" Anakin's voice called, almost on the verge of trembling.
Obi-wan knew that his apprentice was not to be trusted any longer, he had just left the Jedi Order for weeks, and directly before that he had married the Nubian Senator!
"Master?" Came Anakin's call once more, and Obi-wan could almost feel the despair growing in his apprentice.
~This is a game, and I will not fall into a trap.~ Obi-wan thought...
___________
~Why won't he answer me? I'm sorry about what I did!That's all I want to say!~ Anakin thought, as he carefully ran through the lava pits. One wrong step and.....
"Master, Please!" Anakin pleaded.
Just then,Anakin heard a slight noise behind him, and he spun around, and a cloaked figure droped down in front of him silently, and gracefully.
~What the...?~ Anakin wondered, as he stared in shock at the man for a moment.
And then in an instant, the tall, raven haired man reached forward and pushed Anakin harshly down and into one of the many caves that rested along the lava pits.
The last thig Anakin saw was the man evily smile, and slip a black helmet over his head and walk away.... As Anakin slowly blacked out....
__________
Obi-wan was almost considering going back to Anakin. That last call had sounded so sincere, so much like Anakin...
"KENOBI! I demand you show yourself!" A voice dangerously close to Anakin's yelled.
Obi-wan let out a small sigh...~So it HAD been a game..A trick, just to get him out...I guess he really has gone over to te sith.~ he thought.
Obi-wan drew is 'saber, ready to attack, and stepped out from behind the rocks.
He saw a man, tall with a black cloak and robes, similar to what Anakin had been wearing last time Obi-wan saw him... The man's face, though, was covered by a dark, black mask.
The man, who Obi-wan believed to be Anakin, drew his 'Saber, and ignighted it.
Obi-wan ignighted his own 'Saber, and the two began a fierce saber battle amongst the many lava pits, and craters...
The blade of Anakin's now red colered saber flew at Obi-wan. He ducked, and sent his own saber flying back at Anakin.
Anakin blocked the move, and flipped back over a crater.
Obi-wan followed, And dodged left as soon as he landed.
Duck! Right. Left. Jump! Spin. Left.Block.Left.Right.
The two battled it out for quite soem time, when Anakin finally said something.....something that Obi-wan knew he would remember as long as he lived...
"Ha, Obi-wan.You're a failure as a master, just like Qui-gon was to Xanatos!" Anakin said with a laugh as he dodged the blade of Obi-wan's blue saber.
"How...Do..You..know..about..Xanatos?!" Obi-wan asked,in spurts, between ducks and lunges.
"I AM the Chosen one, aren't I?" Anakin replied.
Obi-wan remained silent, as he looked behind Anakin.
They were..they were getting dangerously close to a rather large lava pit, and Obi-wan watched to red hot lava bubble, as his apprentice, seeming unaware continued to back up,as Obi-wan blocked his apprentices angry blows with the 'saber.
Then,Obi-wan's saber lunged close to Anakin, and he backed up a step, but that was a step too far...His arms windmilled, and what seemed like slow- motion, fell backwards, into the pit.
Obi-wan watched in horror as his apprentice seemed to sink into the boiling lava.
Obi-wan didn't know how long he stood there, like a statue, his face a mask of pure horror.
Finally, he snaped out of it, and quickly returned to his ship. He HAD to get off this planet, it just seemed to glow with Anakin's presence...
_______________________
Obi-wan slept most of the way back to Corusant. He tried to hide his feelings of guilt and regret, but he could not...
The scene played over and over again in his mind, Obi-wan watched as his apprentice fell over the edge of the pit, and fell down into the lava...
Obi-wan let out an involuntary shudder.
Even if Anakin HAD turned, how could he, his master, just let him die?
Then Obi-wan realised what he was going to have to do, tell Padme...
At that thought, Obi-wan shuddered once more, and tried once again to drown out his troubles with sleep..
___________________
Although Obi-wan believed that the lava had finnished off Anakin, it had not. Soon after his ship left, another landed, the passenger of this ship was none other than lord Sideous.
Sideous walked over to the pit where his apprentice had fallen in, and lifted his hand out over it.
Slowly, His apprentice's body rose out of the lava.
Sideous set his apprentice down on the hard, crusty ground of the volcanic planet.
// awake, apprentice.// Sideous hissed through the bond.
His apprentice slowly sat up, and looked over at Sideous. "W..what happened?" he asked.
"Kenobi let you fallinto a lava pit, but the helmat I gave you protected most of your body...The rest can be replaced." Sideous coldly said.
His apprentice nodded.
"Did you do away with skywalker?" Sideous asked.
His apprentice nodded, "Kenobi think that I am skywalker though..." he explained to Sideous.
Sideous considered this for a moment, "This may work to our advantage..." he slowly said. "Come apprentice, we must hurry." Sideous said, and began to stride back to the ship, with his apprentice slowly following...
___________
Sevral hours later, Anakin Skywalker awoke in the cave.
~Where in the galaxy am I?~ he wondered, as he slowly began to remember what had just happened...
~Where is my Master, though, surely he wouldn't leave me here to die...~ Anakin thought.
Anakin huddled in the back of the cave, despair gripping him ~Would he?~
