Chapter 4: The Negotiations

Obi-wans' P.O.V.

Over the last three days the prime minister and his high scholars prepped us on the negotiations that would take place today. Anakins' uneasiness towards this mission only worsened my own. I sighed heavily as I sat next to Anakin and they took us to this building where we are to meet these other beings.

"Master, I dont think this is a good idea" Anakin said in a worried tone.

"It does not matter what we think, we must follow orders" I replied. I did not think this was the brightest idea either. The guards basically drop us off in this meeting room with a small table surrounded by 6 chairs. I sit down in one as Anakin takes the one next to me. I prop my cane up against the edge of the table as we wait for these other beings.

After a few moments of waiting 5 feline-like warriors enter the room. Definitly not here to negotiate. Not good. This will not end well. I grab my cane and hoist myself to standing position to greet them, maybe I am wrong. Maybe they are here to negotiate.

"Ambrassors?" The one says. I nodded in reply. Anakin is at his feet, resting his hand on the hilt of his lightsaber. The head of the 5 beings pulls out a rifle like gun and points it at us. Not good. I hate it when I am right...

"Dont even attempt to pull a weapon" The leader hissed as the others followed his movement and withdrew their guns.

"The prime minister thinks these negotiations will bring an end to this war that has been raging for centuries, foolish he is!" The leaders hissed again coming towards me.

"We have no need for you jedi!" He spoke firing at what i thought was me, but the bolt whizzed by me hitting Anakin. My eyes widened as I twisted around as fast as i could, only to watch Anakin fall to the ground face first.

I react without thinking picking up my cane as if too use it like a lightsaber and swung it at the feline warrior making him fall backwards dropping his gun. This automatically made the others start firing. I drop my cane and force pull my lightsaber from my belt to my hand, igniting it directly as it reachs my hand. I block as many shots as i can, but i cant keep my mind off of Anakin, who is behind me. Injuried, where I dont know yet but he has fallen. And as his master I must protect him.

My movements are very sluggish, I cant keep this up for long. No. I must focus. I must get Anakin out of here, and figure out what to do after that. Now though We must escape.
