Chapter 11- Ambushed
The next morning came quickly for Anakin. He stood pacing the living quarters he was given the night before.
"Okay—I have to tell her today," Anakin said to himself. "Oh…where do I start? 'Padme… Mother Talzin had a plot—and I was part of it. But I don't wanna be, because – it's because I love you." He sighed. "Oh, she'll never believe me. But I gotta try."
He exited his room and headed to Padme's room. When he got there Padme was exiting her room.
"Padme," Anakin said. She turned. "I need to talked to you."
"Padme," Obi-wan said from the end of the hall. He walked up to them. "I don't want you talking with him." He softened. "I want to talk to him."
Padme's face brightened; Obi-wan winked at her, and he and Anakin headed out of the palace and into the city. They then walked out into the valley, Soon they were walking through a newly burnt section of the Pride lands.
"Dooku couldn't let go of his hate," Obi-wan said. "And in the end, it destroyed him."
"I've never heard the story of Dooku that way," Anakin said. "He truly was a killer."
"Fire is a killer," Obi-wan said. "Sometimes, what's left behind can grow better than the generation before…"
He put his foot down and raised some dust; when he lifted it, a young plant was there. The two Jedi knelt down, head to head.
"…If given the chance."
Suddenly, an evil chuckle was heard from the dust surrounding them. Anakin gasped as he realized what was happening. Many dark Jedi appeared from the clouds of dust, surrounding them. The dark Jedi's eyes glow a bright, sinister yellow.
"No…oh," Anakin mumbled. "No…no…"
"Why, Obi-wan…" Talzin said.
"Mother Talzin," Obi-wan said.
"What are you doing out here, and—so alone?" The dark Jedi encircled Obi-wan and Anakin, who both pulled out their sabers. "Well done, Anakin… just like we always planned."
Obi-wan turned to Anakin.
"You,' Obi-wan said shocked.
"No!" Anakin cried. "I didn't have anything to do with this!"
"Attack!" Talzin cried.
"No!" Anakin called.
The dark Jedi attacked. Obi-wan was fighting off several at once. Anakin tried to help Obi-wan, but was battered off by a dark Jedi and fell to the side, hitting his head on a rock. Obi-wan was thrown to the bottom of the ravine; dark Jedi slid down the slope toward him. (deja vuex)
"Yes! We've got him!" Talzin cheered.
Ventress and the other dark Jedi attacked again, forcing Obi-wan to flee down the canyon.
"Remember your training!" Talzin called. "As a unit!"
Obi-wan was trapped; he tried to climb up the walls of the canyon, using the piled up logs to gain purchase. Anakin was above him on the ledge.
"Obi-wan!" Anakin called.
"Get him!" Talzin called. "Anakin! Get him! Do it now!"
Grievous jumped from the crowd.
"I'll do it—for you, Mother!" Grievous said. He bounded up the logs, laughing. "Mother, are you watching?" He then spoke to himself. "I'm doing it for you…and I'm doing it for me."
Greivous chased Obi-wan up a slope with several broken logs strewn across it. Just as Obi-wan reached the top, Grievous grabbed his ankle, his claws digging in. Obi-wan cried out in pain.
"This is my moment of glory," Grievous said.
The log on which Grievous had his legs on broke, causing Grievous to lose his grip on Obi-wan's ankle, blood coming out, and began to fall. Obi-wan reached the top, but the pile of logs rolled down the slope with Grievous among them; they all landed in a heap at the bottom of the ravine. Grievous lay trapped under a large log. He looked up to the top or the slope to see one final log rapidly falling in his direction. He grimaced, terrified, as the log hit him. Anakin rushed down to help free Grievous, but he was swatted aside by Mother Talzin, who pulled enough logs aside to see Grievous' face.
"Grievous…" Mother Talzin said sadly.
Grievous gasped for air and coughed. A piece of his chest plate was jabbed in his organs, killing him.
"I'm sorry, mother…I tried…" he stammered.
"Shh," She said very softly.
"Well…I finally got your attention, didn't I…" he said weakly.
Talzin smiled tenderly at him and cradled his face mask in her hand.
"Didn't I…" Grievous died.
Ventress appeared next to Mother Talzin on the edge of the logs.
"Grievous," Ventress said sorrowfully.
Back in the Pride lands, Obi-wan was limping wearily back to Pride City. Padme, Threepio, Rex and Cody stood at the edge of the city when Padme spotted Obi-wan.
"Father…" she realized it was him. " Father! Threepio, get a healer!"
Threepio waddled off.
"Oh yes! Healer… at once! Of course!" Threepio said frantically.
Obi-wan was limping with great pain. An arm around his stomach, and his face extremely pale. Padme, Rex, and Cody reached him.
"Father?" Padme asked worriedly.
"Obi-wan! Talk to me!" Rex said. "What happened?"
Obi-wan coughed, wheezing, having a hard time speaking.
"Anakin…" he sucked in a painful breathe of air. "Ambush…"
Obi-wan collapsed unconscious on his side, letting out a groan of pain.
"No…" Padme said not believing it.
Rex and Cody wrapped an arm around him and helped carry him back to the City.
"It's alright, buddy," Rex said. "We're here for you."
As they walked, the villagers gasped and watched as their leader was carried through the city. When they reached the palace, half the city had followed them. They carried Obi-wan up the stairs to the master bedroom, where a healer, Threepio, and Satine stood waiting. When they came in, Satine gasped. Rex and Cody laid Obi-wan on the bed, and the healer and Satine immediately rushed to his side.
Padme stood at the foot of the bed. Rex and Cody leaned against the wall. Satine sat on the bed beside Obi-wan, and the healer stood beside him looking him over. The room was completely silent.
Surprise! I enjoy it so much! Bet you didn't see my version coming did ya? Nope…no you didn't.
