Chapter 20: The bad news
Disclaimer: not mineCarle stared at Mecca. "O-our Jedi past?" she asked shakily.
Mecca nodded. Her blue eyes wide staring at Carle. The training saber clutched tightly in her hand.
Obi-Wan stood over her. His brow knit together. Thinking. "Jedi past. Hmmm, I don't think there has been any Jedi named Carle or Mecca before. But I can look." He said thoughtfully, out loud to himself.
"NO! I mean I don't think it was of the past. I mean I think it was the future, our future, Carle, if we were Jedi I mean. They mentioned something about a sand planet, And about a war. But nothing more then that. I really don't think it is of the past I think it is of the future or something." Mecca said quickly, letting Carle help her off the floor.
"The future as it would be if we weren't here." Carle said her brown eyes looking from Obi-Wan to Mecca, "By coming here we must have changed the future. Who knows, this war might not even happen now, if a war is really what's gonna happen."
"Oh snap! Does this mean we have to stop the war?" Mecca asked.
"I don't know. It might not even be a war. It might just be a warning of wut could come. Of wut would've come had we not shown up here, or this might just be a figment of your imagination. Who knows?" Carle replied.
"Wut I saw was real enough, and it felt real. I can't explain it. It's weird." Mecca told her.
Obi-Wan looked from one girl to another. He could tell that they were frightened. 'And rightly so, Kenobi. They just realized that they had a war to stop, if that's what I mean.' He thought to him self.
"If you are up to it we can begin. Or we could tomorrow. It's up to you, Carle, Mecca." Obi-Wan told them.
The two girls looked at each other. Mecca nodded.
"We would like to continue, Master Kenobi. If that's all right." Carle said, speaking for both of them.
Obi-Wan nodded. He motioned for the girls to follow him back to the rack. He handed a light saber to Carle. It felt light in her hands.
Obi-Wan then took his off his belt. He showed them how to activate it. Mecca grinned and held it away from herself and pressed the red button. An orange blade sprung to life, and a low frequency hum filled the room. The two girls gasped. Then the blade flicked and turned a deep hue of blue.
They turned to Obi-Wan, questioningly. He smiled, "The focus crystal changes color as the Force presence of the person changes." He explained.
They nodded, and Carle activated the one she had in her hands. A blue blade appeared from the hilt, then shimmered and turned to a silver color. Carle stood transfixed, watching the blade.
Her attention was drawn from the energy blade to Obi-Wan as he inhaled sharply. His eyes were wider then normal.
"What? Is silver bad?" she questioned.
Obi-Wan smiled and shook his head. "No, not at all. There has only been one other Jedi with a silver blade. She was one of the Order's best." He looked at her, "That's not a bad thing, Carle. That's a good thing." He told her.
Carle nodded, her face unusually pale. Mecca stood next to her the light saber held loosely in her left hand. She turned to Carle, a thoughtful expression on her face.
"What does it mean?" she asked Obi-Wan.
He opened his mouth to explain when his comm. link chirped. He gave an apologetic smile and walked off the matt so he could take the call, leaving the two girls to think about what had just happened.
A few moments later he came back, he looked uncommonly flustered.
Obi-Wan looked at the girls an extremely serious look on his face. "I have bad news. Your friend Teren Miller has been found severely injured out side the Senate complex. She has been brought to the Temple for treatment." He told them, his tone grave, "They don't think she will last through the night."
