It seemed to be the thousands time in the last days, that Xanatos' cruel laughter sounded in his ears.
"YOU want to kill ME?", Xanatos mocked. His gaze darkened and he starred at Obi-Wan with cold, blue eyes. "No, I will kill YOU!" Too late, Obi-Wan noticed that Xanatos was still holding the remote control. Before he could grab it, the fallen Jedi had already pushed another button.
Again electric jolts ran through his body. Stronger and more cruel than before. They shot unmercifully through him, let his head hammer, as if it would explode every second. The battle lost, he screamed, as the pain forced him to the floor.
Xanatos watched with a satisfied gaze, as the young Jedi laid on the floor and wallowed of agony. The body of the boy tensed and bowed at every new jolt. And every time a scream tore from his lung, that could have frozen fire to ice.
"No." Able to move again, Danielle instantly kneeled next to Obi-Wan and pulled him in her lap. "Shh," she whispered with trembling voice, her forehead on his. She rocked him softly, as tears streamed down her cheek and dripped on his face. His screams faded until agonized moaning was all that could be heard from him. But the pain didn't stop. Slowly the colour of his skin paled. "No," whispered Danielle. Then she raised her gaze to meet Xanatos'. "Please," she pleaded despaired. "Stop it. I do everything you want."
"You will anyway."
~Can't let this happen.~ Obi-Wan took a deep, sharp breath. Like in slow motion, he pulled out of Danielle's lap. He looked at Xanatos with a stern gaze, as he struggled back to his feet. Now, Obi-Wan had done something the second time, that most people weren't able to do one time. Again, he had managed to surprise Xanatos. The fallen Jedi watched unbelieving as Obi-Wan rose up fully. But the surprise didn't last long. In one quick move, Xanatos reached out his arm an send the young Jedi flying backward. Obi-Wan screamed as he hit the wall hard. But he remained standing.
"Why can't you just die?", Xanatos screamed, his face a mask of pure hate. But then something caught his attention. He raised his hand and looked at the remote control. A complacent grin washed over his face. "Well," he hissed. "Lets see if you will live through this either." And with that, he pushed the only button on the remote control, that he hadn't used yet.
Obi-Wan winced, as a needle in the collar pricked in his neck. Immediately his sight clouded. Slowly he slid down the wall, as his limps gave away under his weight.
