Dreams Pass

Chapter 7 - Mirror

Summary- Obi-Wan has been having a horrible dream for a long time. Can Qui-Gon help him find out what it means before it's too late? What happens when the dreams come when he's awake and he can't control them? They'll have to enter his mind. R&R.

......

...

"He's in the Mirror. We can enter now Obi-Wan." Qui-Gon said pulling Obi-Wan to the mirror.

Obi pulled away. "No!" He ran to Garen who reassured him everything would be okay.

"Actually I don't think he should go in. What if he gets trapped in there?" Garen said siding with Obi.

Qui-Gon looked to the other masters who agreed. "He can't stay alone. In case he comes back out."

"I'll stay with him." Bant offered stepping forward. She wasn't experienced enough for a real mind battle. Garen always fought with his wits anyway. She took Obi's hand.

Qui-Gon nodded. "Alright. Garen you stay as well."

"What?" He almost screeched. He covered his mouth. Curse puberty.

Obi smiled lightly.

"You two stay with Obi-Wan. We'll take care of his other side." The other three masters made their way to the mirror and entered slowly. Their reflections merging with them as they entered.

Garen growled. "Grah! I can't believe that guy! I came here to help not sit around." With that he ran in.

"Garen wait.... oh never mind. I guess it's just us two now huh." Bant looked to Obi-Wan whose eyes were transfixed on the mirror. He couldn't look away. "Obi- Ah hey!"

Obi-Wan ran into the mirror without thinking. Bant followed after him. It was like passing through air or smoke; like it wasn't even there.

When they entered there was nothing but crystal corridors and mirrors and doors. It would be all to easy to get lost. "Oh great..." Bant said as she realized she and Obi were completely alone.

Just then a door opened ahead of them. A familiar boy walked out looking frustrated. He glanced over and raised an eyebrow. "I thought I left you two outside." Garen walked up to them and Bant was relieved to see them all together.

"Come one let's go."

"No...." Obi stared off into the corridors. His eyes were changing. Bant and Garen looked at him kind of freaked out. His skin turned pure white and his eyes pure black.

He stepped forward but Garen grabbed him. "Hold up there buddy. Where do you think you're going?"

"To stop him." Obi's eyes were so black it looked as though it were ink that had leaked beneath his skin into his veins. He looked angry.

Garen backed off. He wasn't about to get into a fight with his best friend. "Look ,okay… but I'm helping got it."

The blackness receded and Obi calmed down. "Alright." He sounded like the usual Obi-Wan only angry and with weird eyes.

"First we need to find him." Bant said.

"He'll find me. He knows I'm here. I'll find him first." Obi began to walk. Garen and Bant looked at each other, shrugged and followed Obi.

......

Qui-Gon Mace and Yoda had stepped through a mirror that ended up leading to a memory about Obi-Wan's first swimming lesson. It was cute, yes, but Qui-Gon could not stop to enjoy it. Walking through door after door they saw many of his memories, his feelings, his thoughts and his hopes and finally they came to his dreams. Not his dreams he wants. No the only dream that was there; the only door that was there was the one that led to his nightmare.

They opened it and walked straight into the destroyed town, smell of burning was on them like a disease. They walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea. They looked up and saw Obi-Wan standing on the edge of the building over looking the sea. Garen and Bant were next to him looking down at the Pitch Black water.

Qui-Gon ran to the building and began to climb the rubble Mace and Yoda close behind him. "What are you doing here?" He demanded.

Obi did not turn. Garen and Bant looked at one another then at Qui-Gon. "He wanted to face this." They said in unison.

Obi turned his eyes were pitch black like the water and his skin was pure white. He was the exact opposite of his other self. Obi didn't look happy either. The water moved below and Obi glanced and the water. His eyes faded as he saw the figure rise. What was he doing? What happened to his confidence? He shivered.

Wan looked at him. "What's wrong? I thought you had boundless courage this time. Of course I expect that every time. But it always fades why?" He was taunting Obi.

Obi looked away and began to shiver. Why did Qui-Gon have to see him like this? Out of the corner of his eye he saw Garen pounce. "No!" Garen and Wan fell into the black water and Bant dove after him to try to help. Obi had just about enough. His eye's blackened again. He couldn't let anything happen to Garen or Bant. He dove in after them he felt the masters follow after. He wasn't alone his time. He saw Wan with his hand around Garen's neck. He was destroying him. If Garen was destroyed he'd lose his mind forever and end up a dying. Obi body slammed Wan and began fighting him. Garen joined him and Bant. Qui-Gon, Mace and Yoda, formed a broken circle around the three and focused themselves to seal Obi and Wan together once again. If they ever had been together. But that was their mission.

Their mission was to combine he two so there was never a struggle for power anymore.
