Obi wan Skywalker: Muahahahaha! Evil cliffhangers! Can't live with them but can't live without them :)

Obi-Wan struggled to reach for the Force but his struggle for air didn't let him concentrate. Obi-Wan had spotted Anakin on the ramp of the ship looking scared and lost. He vaguely noticed that Anakin's braid was gone. He wasn't prepared for the bombardment of pain that hit him. His padawan stood there watching as a cruel Sith Lord bore down on him. 'Anakin I'm sorry. I really am' Obi-Wan and in that moment, for the first time since he had met Anakin, obi-Wan unshielded.

Anakin wasn't prepared for the assault of pain, both physical and mental, that he was showed with from obi-Wan. His heart clenched and he couldn't watch but couldn't pry his eyes away from the terrifying scene ether.

The Sith lifted his lightsaber within three steps of Obi-Wan as he prepared for the final lunge and strike.

Suddenly something inside Anakin snapped and before he knew it he was moving. The next few moments were a haze. Somehow one of the cable launchers from one of the bins that he had knocked over was in his hand, summoned there by the Force. Someone he had hooked the launcher onto one of the ledges on the metal canary. And before he new it he was swinging toward Obi-Wan and the leaping Sith.

"NO!"

Anakin threw himself in the way of the red lightsaber before it could reach Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan watched in horror as the red blade ran through Anakin's side and the boy collapsed to the ground.

Darth Slithiouse was so shocked that he released his hold on Obi-Wan and the Jedi stumbled backward as he fought for balance and gasped hungrily for air. His gaze fell to the motionless body of his padawan and a wave of guilt and fear rushed over him, leaving him breathless once again. 'No! No this is not happening again! Not again!' Obi-Wan thought feverishly. He looked up at the Sith and the same hot anger that had boiled his blood on Naboo rose with new ferocity.

His lightsaber was in his hand in a flash and he rushed forward at the Sith to lock blades again. Obi-Wan barely noticed the ship that was rapidly descending on them.

Darth Sidious couldn't believe that this had happened. His young apprentice was lying motionless on the floor of the hanger and his older apprentice was fighting that blasted Jedi who had killed Maul. Yes, he could kill Kenobi now but now was not the time. He contacted Slithiouse through their bond and told him to jump aboard the ship. He would make his plans for revenge on Kenobi later. It would be a special surprise.

Obi-Wan was dismayed as he watched the Sith jump aboard a low flying ship. Quickly the ship aborted the planet leaving the area disturbingly quiet. A soft moan from behind brought Obi-Wan back to his senses. "Anakin!" Obi-Wan rushed to the boy, sinking down to the ground at his side. "Anakin?" Obi-Wan gathered the young boy in his arms, holding him protectively close. "Anakin, can you hear me? Hang on, padawan, alright? Just hang in there!"

Anakin's eyes fluttered open and he looked at Obi-Wan in a strange daze. "Obi-Wan? I-I'm…s…sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry for, Anakin, nothing ok. Just stay awake alright? Hang in there for me." He then drew out his comm.. link and contacted Annaline. Annaline? Ann, can you hear me?"

"Obi-Wan? Yes, I hear you. What's wrong?"

"Ann, listen to me I need you to take off and fly toward the outside hanger of that fot we saw from the air. Alright? Fly as low as you can."

"Obi-Wan, what's going on? What happened?"

"I'll explain later, Ann, I need you to come as quickly as possible. Remember fly low."

"OK…ok…I'm coming." Annaline cut the connection.

Obi-Wan slipped the comm.. link back into his belt and turned his attention back to Anakin. The boy had nestled close to him as he tried to find some comfort in his old master. "Anakin...Listen to me, Anakin, I'm going to put you in a healing trance."

"What's…th-that l-like?"

"It's just like meditating…except you don't have to worry about keeping your concentration" Obi-Wan added quickly, remembering how Anakin disliked meditating.

"Am...I…g…going to be…o-ok?"

"You're going to be fine….I promise. But Anakin listen I need you to unshield first. Can you do that for me?"

Anakin didn't have enough energy to answer but Obi-Wan felt the shields fall away and he reached out to brush his padawans mind. He wouldn't have been surprised if he had been rebuked but he definitely wasn't ready for the pure acceptance with which Anakin met him. Their shattered bond was quickly reestablishing itself. Obi-Wan put his hand on Anakin's forehead and channeled the healing energy into the young boy. Obi-Wan watched as Anakin's features softened and relaxed as he fell into the healing trance.

Obi-Wan heard engines behind him and rose, with Anakin still in his arms as the Jedi fighter made it's way toward them.

San Mayena was the closest planet that the Jedi new of that had a descent enough medical facility. It would only take then a couple of hours in hyperspace to reach it but after an hour obi-Wan was starting to get extremely restless. The first aid medical supplies that was stored on board had done only so much for the padawan who was now lying on the medcouch with his head on Obi-Wan's lap. Thankfully, he was still in the healing trance.

"Obi-Wan?"

Obi-Wan was brought out of his thoughts by the soft voice coming from the entrance to the room. "Ann? Who's flying the ship?"

"It's alright Obi-Wan . I put it on autopilot since we're still in hyperspace." Annaline walked over to him and sat down at obi-Wan's feet, her gaze traveling from obi-Wan and then down to Anakin. "How's he holding up?"

"Better then you'd expect after a lightsaber wound but I'm afraid he won't have enough strength. Oh, Ann! I didn't mean to hurt him!"

"How did it happen? Obi-Wan what did you do? You wouldn't tell me but I need to know."

Obi-Wan looked guilty. He ran his hand through Anakin's hair looking affectionately at the boy.

"Even the way you look at him has changed."

"No…I'm just finally accepting him the way he is. Seeing everything not just what I want to. He's so brave…"

"Obi-Wan! What happened?"

More guilt shown in his eyes. "I went into a confrontation with the Sith that was trying to train Anakin in the ways of the Dark Side. During the duel I was disarmed and then slowly Force choked as that…monster…stocked toward me. Anakin haapined to see…well enough I suppose."

"And?"

"He jumped between me and the Sith before the Sith could strike me down, taking the blow for himself."

"Oh…" Annaline tried to find more to say but new it wasn't since Obi-Wan had retreated back into himself.

"His fever is getting too high…Ann, get me the hyperspray would you? Please."

"Cause I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm livin
Don't you know me, I won't ever let you down"
