The two Jedi burst out of the control room with lightsabers activated and raced down the halls which were rapidly starting to fill with battle droids. They navigated the halls without a clue to where they were going with only the thought of getting out of the building. Finally Obi-Wan managed to spot an exit and pulled Anakin through a side corridor toward the exit. They ran through the hallways backwards, all the while deflecting blaster shots from the oncoming droids.
As they burst out into the cold night air off Helena they realized that this wasn't the end of their troubles. Nether did they end once they were able to make it through the energy fence by frying the control panel with their 'sabers.
A mighty roar from the top of a nearby mountain caught their attention. Anakin and Obi-Wan looked up to see a mound of snow headed heir way at impossible speeds. "Avalanche," Anakin muttered in dismay as the two Jedi dove for the ground, curling into protective positions.
Obi-Wan gapped as he was picked up by the snow and hurled forward in a blazingly white snowball. He tumbled forward with the mass of snow, doing all he could to protect himself through the onslaught. Suddenly the ground fell away from beneath him and he started falling. The Jedi reached out automatically in order to grope and some sort of handhold but he was being carried too fast and the sleek snowy slopes were too smooth to hold on to.
Obi-Wan hit the ground with a harsh THUMP. Stars flew in front of his eyes and he seemed to drift in and out of a dark mist and was only barely aware of rolling down an incline. Then without any warning….
CRACK…SPLASH
The snow ball with the Jedi Master at its center crashed through the ice of what could have been a river or a pond. The snow melted away and Obi-Wan found himself engulfed by freezing water that sent him into a sort of shock, multiplying the colorful stars that danced before his eyes.
Obi-Wan worked his way to the surface, kicking frantically. He was forced to shake of his heavy robe which was pulling him down and away from oxygen. When finally broke the surface he was sputtering and gasping for air. The Jedi tried to get a hold of anything that might get him to shore and found, to his utter dismay, that the snow ball that had landed him in the water pit had created such a huge whole that he would have to swim t shore.
By that time, however, the frigid water started having its effects on him and his legs and arms became numb. If he didn't get out of the water soon he would drown. But it was so hard to move and the stars before his eyes, along with the piercing headache wasn't helping his think ether.
Anakin had just managed to catch onto a stray rock in the cliff side before he went over the edge and for some moments hung precariously above the drop.
The young knight managed to pull himself up onto firmer ground when he was sure that the snow was stable under his feat. He allowed unconsciousness to claim him then.
Anakin wasn't sure how long he had been under after he had succumb to the darkness but something told him it wasn't too long.
He sat up brushing snow off himself and twisting himself around to check for injuries. None. Well it was a good start anyways. The next thing the blonde knight noticed was that it was extremely quite. Which brought him to the next question. Where the hell was Obi-Wan?
Anakin reached through the Force to try and locate his wayward partner. For a moment he didn't sense anything. Then when Obi-Wan's signature came into focus Anakin was stricken by how faint it was. He panicked slightly, then. Hurridly searching for where Obi-Wan was, to discover him several meters below him.
Whipping out him cable launcher, Anakin scaled the cliff face and came to the edge of a water pit. A rather large one at that. The young Jedi took one look at the huge whole in the ice and realized, with a pained wince, what had happened.
