Notes: this is the typical star wars character gets magically transported to earth thing, but with a twist. so far, it's just the first chapter, as I'm not really sure where I want to go with it, or if I even plan on doing anything more with it.
Disclaimer: Anakin and Obi-wan belong to George Lucas, ect. and are just being borrowed for my enjoyment. This is just for fun and I'm obviously not making any money off of it. Please don't sue me!
Through the Rabbit Hole
Chapter 1
It was nine in the morning and Anakin Skywalker was hurrying down a mostly unused hallway of the Jedi Temple. Stopping at a lift door near the end of the hallway, the young Jedi tapped a sensor pad on the wall and stood back to wait, albeit very impatiently. Anakin didn't know if it was the fact that he was late or not, but the lift seemed to be taking forever. The young Jedi shook his head and mentally reminded himself to be patient.
After what, to the impatient young Jedi, seemed like hours (but was in reality probably only a few minutes), it showed up. With a ding, the door slid open and the young man stepped hurriedly inside. Leaning against the railing of the lift, he wondered for the millionth time that morning why his master had wanted them to meet in the old section of the temple. During his years at the temple, Anakin had heard many stories about mysterious artifacts hidden away in the old section. He'd never been to it before, of course, (padawans weren't allowed in it unsupervised) but he had never believed any of the rumors he'd heard about it. In his opinion, it was nothing but closed-up, unused rooms and ancient furniture covered in inches of dust. Anakin shook his head as if it would somehow physically clear his mind and made a mental note to be open minded about whatever lesson his master had planned for the day.
With another ding, the lift arrived and the door slid open to reveal dank cement hallways and ancient manual doors in what looked to him like the beginning of a maze. Glancing around, Anakin didn't see his master anywhere. Anxious to find his master before he became any more late, the Jedi Padawan fell back onto his training. He closed his eyes in concentration and reached out with the force in an attempt to locate his master through their link. However, all he got was a vague far-away sense of his master off to his left. Looking around, he realized that there were three different hallways leading in that direction. Shaking his head and sighing resignedly at what was turning out to be a real loser of a day, Anakin picked a hallway and followed it, glancing into the various rooms as he went. Most of the rooms were just as he expected them to be: filled with old dusty furniture and uninteresting remnants of times long gone by.
The fifth room he came to, however, was unusual. It was not filled with old dusty furniture as the other ones had been but contained only a single ancient-looking wooden table in the center. The table was uncharacteristically free of dust and had, Anakin noticed, what looked like a black box of some kind sitting in the center. The box seemed to call out to him, plead with him to come look at it, find out what it was.
After a few long moments of indecision, curiosity overcame his better judgment and he stepped into the room to get a closer look at the mysterious object. As he got closer to it, Anakin realized it wasn't just a box, but some sort of device with a small switch, dial, what looked like some sort of embedded holoprojector, and a large button on one side and an antenna on one end. Hesitantly picking it up, he turned it over in his hands a few times to examine it. It was made out of some sort of ancient plasteel, he noted, and had writing in a few places in some sort of odd symbols he had never seen before. "it looks like some kind of ancient communicator", Anakin thought, "interesting".
The young Jedi had always been into technology. In fact, he was known in the temple for always "modifying" speeders and ships and things, often without permission. So, he was, of course, immediately curious of this knew gadget. Turning it over in his hands again, Anakin longed to try it out, see how it worked, maybe even take it apart in order to learn a few things about his modern communicator. After a few brief moments of indecision, he decided that he had to try it out, if only to satisfy his rapidly growing curiosity. Looking it over again, Anakin quickly gathered how it was meant to be used. Holding the device at arms length, he flicked the switch he had seen on the front, turned the dial halfway around, and held down the large button. All of a sudden, Anakin's vision began to blur and blacken around the edges. Before the young Jedi had a chance to wonder what was going on, everything went black.
