As Obi-wan ran up the stairs, and came face to face with the sith, time
slowed.
As the masked sith withdrew his helmet, reavealing his true face....
Obi-wan stared in shock and confusion.
The sith shook out his longish black hair, and stared at Obi-wan with his dark blue eyes.
Before him, stood Xanatos, just as he had been when he had died all those years ago.
"How?" Obi-wan tried to ask, but no sound came out.
A smirk crossed the sith's face, "Hello Kenobi, we meet again." he hissed, and withdrew his saber, holding it in a battle stance, yet to ignight it...
Obi-wan stood there dumbstruck.
~How?! He....he's dead....qui-gon and I saw him die...But there he is...~ Obi-wan thought.
"Master, who is that?" Anakin whispered from behind him.
"An old friend..." Obi-wan said.
"Can you handle him, Master?" Anakin asked.
Obi-wan nodded, and Anakin turned to face Ria, who smirked at him, as she with drew her saber.
Obi-wan's focus rested on Xanatos.
Xanatos looked right at him, and nodded. He ignighted his blood red saber.
Obi-wan ignighted his blue saber, and the two became enthralled in battle.
_________________
Anakin stared at Ria in contempt.
The two circled each other for a few seconds.
Ria ignighted her saber, and grinned, "Bring it on, Jedi." she said.
Anakin ignighted hiw own saber, "Gladly." he hissed, and sharply slashed to the right.
Ria dodged away, and whipped her saber around and across.
Anakin blocked, and with a flick or his wrist, he sent his blue sbaer blade flying at Ria.
She blocked, and spun. Left! Right! Left! Anakin's blade came zooming towards her and she sidestepped away.
"You can't win, Jedi." she cockily said, blocking another torent of slashes from Ani's saber.
Anakin remained silent, realising his anger to the force.He had given into anger three months back and look where it had gotten him..
Ria whipped around, but Anakin dodged, avoiding her red blade.
"Your master shall die, he doesn't know what he's up against." Ria stated.
"He seems to." Anakin stated, hoping Ria was going to continue to argue with him, he just needed the right moment, and.......
Ria laughed, "He's up against a sith.He cannot beat a sith, and neither can you, puny Jedi." she hissed.
Anakin stared at her for a second, then in an instant, he flicked his wrist, bringing his saber whipping around, and sailing into Ria's side.
Shock crossed her face as she fell to the sandy ground.
Her eyes closed as she gasped for breath.
"Tell....Leera....I'm....Sorry...." she breathed, and her life force died.
Anakin took a step back, his gaze glued to Ria.
"Anakin!" Obi-wan yelled from a distance away, snapping Anakin back to reality.
Anakin took off in the direction of his masters call.
_____________
Obi-wan's blue blade hissed as it hit against Xanatos'.
Xanatos smirked, "You don't know how long I've waited for this, Kenobi." he hissed, then in a flash, he brought his saber flying at Obiwan.
Right! Left! Up!Left! Right!
Their blue and red blades moved in a blur.
"Why, Xanatos, Why?" Obi-wan asked, as he blocked an lunge from his right, and swiped his blade to the left.
"You stole my master." Xantos said, easily blocking Obi-wan's attempted attack.
"No." Obi-wan replied.
"You also killed a friend of mine, he was a sith, named Darth Maul." Xanatos continued, sending his saber flying in another torent.
Right! Up! Down! Up! Left! Spin, and low to the right!
His last swipe lightly grazed Obi-wan's thigh.
Obi-wan let out a slight gasp, and clutched the wound in one hand.
"Anakin!" he yelled.He could use his help right about now.
From behind him, he could hear Anakin's footsteps running towards them.
Xanatos' gaze shifted from Obi-wan towards Anakin.
"You..." he hissed.
Anakin held his saber up, ready to begin battle.
"I thought I told Ria to eliminate you." Xanatos muttered.
"She didn't have the chance to." Anakin replied.
"Oh?" Xanatos asked."I guess then I will."
With that, he brought his saber, up in a flash, and sent the blade streaking towards Anakin.
Left! Anakin dodged away.
Right! Anakin blocked, and sent his own blade zooming to Xanatos' left!
Xanatos smirked and blocked the attack.
"Silly Jedi, you can't win." Xanatos said.
Anakin's eyes narrowed, and he sent his saber flying in a blur towards Xanatos.
Xanatos leaped up, doing an elaborate flip, landing a few feet away.
"Nice trick." Anakin muttered, stepping forward a few steps to continue to fight Xanatos.
Xanatos' blade came crashing down on the sand directly infront of Anakin, causing it to fly up and burn.
Anakin dodged the sand the best he could, and brought his saber up, and continued his duel with Xanatos.
A few seconds later, Xanatos spoke up, "You fight well, for a Jedi.If you joined me, you could be the most powerful Jedi ever." he hissed.
From where he lay on the sand, Obi-wan's heart skipped a beat.
No, that couldn't happen, not...not after all this.
It would be just as Padme had feared, Eventually Ani would turn, and hope would be lost once again.
Time seemed to slow, as he waited for Anakin's response.....
"Forget it, Vader." Anakin hissed, sending his saber flying towards Xanatos.
Obi-wan mentally breathed a sigh of relief. Master Windu was right, he needed to have more faith in the boy.
Xanatos narrowed his eyes. "If you won't join me, then you shall die." he stated, and raised his hand.
Bolts of blue energy came screeching out, at Anakin.
Anakin's eyes widened, and he was thrown back against the sand.
Obi-wan stared over at his apprentices still body, but could sense through the force that he was still alive.
His eyes turned back to the Sith.
Obi-wan slowly rose to his feet, realiseing his pain to the force.
He took a deep breath, feeling the power of the force rush through him.
Obi-wan stared into Xanatos' midnight blue eyes.
The final battle had come....
