Chapter 2: Stranded & Alone

My dark-blue saber whipped at the blast without me even concentrating. Had I known that this betrayal would happen I would have better prepared myself but what had been done was done and even the Jedi cannot change fate…

The soldiers moved in aiming their weapons in several different areas of my body. They all thought alike, they were clones after all, but this was insane. The Sith who I had thought was an honest and pure emperor had betrayed the Jedi… Anakin and Obi-Wan shouldn't have rescued him in the first place, but then again they wouldn't have been able to stop two Siths, let alone one…

They shot their weapons just as I summoned the force, but it wasn't enough, and I felt several blasts fire through different parts of my body. Alas, I was alive however, and with more adrenaline pumping through my body, I released the force on the troops sending them hurling into a rocky outcrop like a small collection of rag dolls. They were out before they realized what I had done…

Luckily for me, they had only sent one extremely small platoon of clones to escort me while the rest were out "fighting" the droids. They had put on a good act too, destroying several large droids that fired upon our camp.

I fell to the ground, the adrenaline was wearing off and I was starting to feel more painful by the second. I had several wounds: one on my foot directly between my toes, another had pierced my ear, while yet another had narrowly missed my ribcage but still smoldered on the front of my shoulder. I was passing out from the pain and I used all my power to hold onto reality… but I knew I had to rest somewhere away from view, otherwise the troops would surly kill me while I lay asleep…

I crawled to a cave and sleep consumed me…

"They don't trust you Anakin…"

"This is the end for you my master!"

"You were the chosen one!"

"Noooooooo!"

I woke up suddenly. My dream had been a vague blur of faces and a tidal wave of emotions, voices, and the force. Yes, there was darkness as well…

I tried to stand up, only to have pain shoot through my body and fall down to the caves rocky floor instead. My body ached like I had been hit by an imperial battle cruiser…

I tried again to sit up, this time succeeding by trying to ignore the pain and keep lifting my torso.

Finally, after several attempts, I got to my feet and leaned against the cave wall while listening to the silent nighttime atmosphere outside of the cave.

How long had I been asleep? This planet had about 50 hours of daytime before another 50 hours of night… I must've been out for at least 25 of those hours considering that we started the battle around midday…

I groaned as I made my way to the mouth of the cave. I looked outside and saw that all of the posts the clones had been at were empty…

In other words: I was stranded on this battlefield which was hundreds of miles away from civilization…

Note: Wow! I actually got this in fairly early... The only reason I didn't get this in yesterday was because I was working on a new template in Dreamweaver and had to spend the whole afternoon trying to figure it out... Anyway, I'm sorry for the short chapters, that's how I write, and I can tell you that I'll try my best not to leave our hero left on this lonely planet. In the meantime I need reviews! Even if you don't like it, please review!
