Hallo! I'm actually really excited about this chapter since it combines three awesome things. The BTT, this song (it isn't Disney, but it's still amazing) and... well, you'll see. Flyingmintbunny9 requested this one, so thank you Flyingmintbunny9! *huggles*

Song: It's Tough To Be A God


It was a small moon on a small planet. Insignificant but teeming with life, much like the forest moon of Endor. Strange, alien animals roamed this little moon, unsuspecting of the commotion that would soon besiege it right about...now! Trees were flattened and birds scattered as a spaceship fell from the sky and crash landed. A hush fell over that part of the forest, the only sound coming from the superheated rocks sizzling around the crash sight. The ship was small but apparently sturdy since it hadn't been crushed or shattered. An inquisitive bird landing on the hull of the ship and pecked at it. A loud hiss made it fly off is fright but if it had stayed it might have seen a door open and two figures step out of the ship accompanied by smoke. Both were young boys, only about 12. One was albino with white hair and red eyes while the other was a golden blonde with blue eyes. They were wearing a tan tunic and pants covered by a brown cloak.

The blonde one glared at the albino, "Well, another brilliant scheme of yours 'as gone awry, Gilbert."

Gilbert scoffed, " Puhlease, You vorry too much Francis. We'll just fix zhis baby up and head back to zhe Jedi Temple before anyone misses us!" A loud bang from inside the ship followed by a spurt of flames shooting out the window made them both jump. Another boy ran out, his tanned skin blackened by soot.

"It's no use, this ship is totaled!" He yelled, "I barely had time to send out a distress signal!" Several loud, muffled booms echoed inside the ship and his green eyes widened in panic. "Get away! It's gonna blow!" The three boys scrambled out of the crater and pushed their way through the thick vegetation. It still wasn't far enough. The explosion lifted them off their feet and threw them twenty yards away. Gilbert and Francis were lucky, they landed on a patch of ferns. Their friend, however, was slammed into a tree. He fell to the ground with a THUD and lay there motionless. Gilbert sat up and blinked, trying to see clearly but failing since the massive ball of fire that had been their ship had scorched it's image into his eyes.

"Antonio!" he heard Francis yell. Vague shapes could be seen now, like that of Francis kneeling next to a tree. Gilbert followed him warily and let out a yelp when his eyesight finally cleared. Antonio was lying face down on the ground, one of his arms was twisted in an awkward position at his side and the other sprawled out. Gilbert grabbed his waist and tried to roll him over but Francis held out a hand, "Be careful, his arm looks broken." Moving slower and with more care, the albino laid Antonio on his back and they both examined him. Antonio was motionless, the only movement was the slow rise and fall of his chest.

"Toni?" Gilbert tapped his chest, snapped his fingers and shook him slightly but all attempts at reviving him were futile. Gilbert sighed and sat back on his heels. He balked a bit at the venomous glare Francis gave him. "Vhat?!"

"Zhis is all your fault Gilbert!"

"Oi, zhis isn't-"

"Oui, it is! YOU were the one who said we should take a joyride in zhat ship while our masters were at a counsel and YOU were the one who messed with zhe controls and sent us into hyperspace! Now we are stuck here, we don't know were we are, no one else knows were we are and Toni might be in a coma for all we know!" Francis stood up and grabbed at his hair. "It's always like zhis with you Gilbert, you always 'ave to get into trouble. Only zhis time we might actually die!"

Gilbert stood up as well. Anger was written all over his face as he pointed at Francis. "Oh yeah? Vell YOU TWO always go along with my 'stupid schemes'. Who's zhe bigger fool now? And as for anozher zhing, ve are NOT going to die. The awesomeness in me vill save us."

Francis snorted and raised his eyes to the heavens. "Unless your 'awesomeness' can heal Antonio and get us off zhis planet you can go shove it up your-"

"I'll us zhe Force, dummkopf!" Gilbert interrupted. Kneeling down again he let his hand hover over Antonio's face. He squeezed his eyes shut and tried to focus on the Force. He could feel it everywhere in the trees, the sky, the earth beneath him and in his two friends. He tried to manipulate it inside Antonio's body and figure out what was wrong but all he got was a jumble of emotions and information. He lowered his hand in defeat and opened his eyes. Without another word he picked Antonio up and slung him over his shoulder. With a jerk he motioned towards Francis' belt and started walking deeper into the forest.

It took a while for Francis to understand but once he did he grabbed his lightsaber. He would have to be the one to defend them if danger approached. He could also see Gilbert straining under Antonio's weight but made no comment. Gilbert disliked any sign of weakness, especially from himself. Perhaps I'm overreacting, Francis thought. Perhaps Antonio is alright and perhaps our masters are on our trail this very minute...perhaps...


"I'm gonna kill those little bastards." Romano muttered from his seat behind the controls of the ship. Romano Vargas wasn't very tall but his temper preceded him. People said that you could literally see steam coming off his auburn hair and flames shooting out of his hazel eyes when angered. Most people said he wasn't a Jedi to be messed with... except for Arthur Kirkland that is. His temper matched Romano's and his ability with the Force was almost unparalleled.

Arthur raised a bushy eyebrow, "Not if I get to them first." He looked over at their third companion. Ludwig Beilschmidt was the tallest of the three and like Arthur he was blonde. However, while Arthur's hair was wild he kept his slicked back and his calm blue eyes were contrasting with Arthur's vivid green.

"I vould only kill Gilbert, he's probably zhe one behind all of zhis," his voice was calm as he discussed the fate of his padawan.

Romano tsked, "But Antonio's stupid enough to follow him."

"And Francis was probably bored enough to go along," Arthur sighed.

Romano looked down at a monitor and frowned, "Hey, I can't track their signal." Arthur and Ludwig crowded around him.

"What do you mean you can't track their signal?" the shorter blonde demanded.

"I mean that I CAN'T TRACK THEIR SIGNAL YOU SONOFA-"

Ludwig slid in between the two hotheads and glared down at both of them. They shrank a bit from his look and shut their mouths. Romano took a deep breath and continued, "Something's wrong with their ship, either something's damaged or..." He bit his lip and didn't finish his sentence.

Arthur looked out the port window at the billions of stars around them. So many stars...so many places they could be... "They'd better be alive," he growled.


"Francis, look at THIS!"

Francis looked to where Gilbert was pointing and gasped. Just ahead in a clearing he could see a huge wall of stone looming ahead. The two of them carefully approached it (Antonio was still unconscious). It was around fifty feet high and made of a dull gray stone that curved on each side to form a huge circle with a diameter of one hundred feet. "Wow, you don't see somezhing like zhat everyday," Francis muttered.

Gilbert trudged forward and placed a hand on the wall. "Do you zhink anyone lives in here? Is there a vay in?" Francis just shrugged. After pausing a moment to adjust Antonio's deadweight the albino nodded resolutely. "I don't sense anyzhing dangerous. Let's look around." He started walking around the perimeter, Francis two feet behind him. Every snap or strange noise coming from the forest made him edgy. He gripped his lightsaber tighter and forced himself to stop and look around. The his birth planet had forests too but these trees were older. Much older. There were secrets here.

By now Gilbert was way ahead. His face brightened as a gap appeared and tried to run towards it but he tripped over a hidden stone. He would've fallen flat on his face if the wall hadn't been there. He lean against it, breathing heavily and looking at the entrance. It was almost seven feet high and wide enough that three grown men could walk through side by side. A strange glow was emitting from it. "Hurry up, Francis!" Gilbert yelled. Francis broke out of his reverie and jogged up to meet him. Together they walked closer to the opening, squinting as the glow got brighter. They turned the corner at last and entered the giant circle.

The sight before them was breathtaking.

The whole interior wall was covered it what seemed to be gold. It bounced the small amount of sunlight, curved it and bended it until the whole circle glowed like the sun itself. In the middle of the circle was a statue of some humanoid creature with red, yellow and black stripes painted horizontally on it's face. In one clawed hand it held a club and it wore a headdress of green, purple and red feathers. A large altar lay before it and gold and jewels were scattered around it. "It's some kind of idol..." Francis whispered. Despite his low tones, his voice echoed off the walls like the sunlight and grew louder with each retelling.

"It's some kind-"

"idol"

"kind of idol"

"idol, it's some-"

Gilbert placed a free hand over an ear, "Gott, zhat's annoying!" he yelled.

"Gott, zhat's annoying!"

"annoying!"

"-zhat's anno-"

"SHUT UP!" Gilbert screamed.

"SHUT UP!"

"SHUT-"

Francis clapped a hand over Gilbert's mouth and winced as Gilbert outburst got louder and louder. After a couple of minutes it finally faded and was gone. Francis released the albino and padded towards the idol. He felt something crunch beneath his foot and looked down. A half crushed skull grinned back at him. He suppressed a scream and stumbled backwards. Gilbert rolled his eyes at this and walked on confidently, ignoring the sound of brittle bones cracking between his boots. Francis noted with interest that the sound of his footsteps and the crack of bones didn't echo like their voices had. He also couldn't help but notice that there were more skeletons piled up around idol and altar but not directly touching them nor the tribute around it.

The padawan stood face to face with the idol. Two red gems made up the eyes and that sort of endeared the statue to the red eyed boy. He carefully lifted Antonio off his shoulder and laid him out on the altar. He barely took a moment to rub his sore arms before once again placing his hand just above his friends face. Francis watched this all in silent confusion. He huffed and carefully picked his way over to the altar. He leaned in until his lips almost brushed Gilbert's ear, "What are you doing?" His voice was so low that only a hiss echoed off the wall.

Gilbert shot him an annoyed look and whispered back, "Zhe Force is strong here, can't you feel it?" Francis focused and was nearly overwhelmed by the sheer power coming from the idol. "I think zhat zhe creatures who lived here were able to use zhe Force and filled this idol with it," Gilbert continued, closing his eyes. "Maybe I can tap into it's power and heal Antonio." The blonde looked at him dubiously but nodded.

Focus, stay focused and allow the Force to guide you, just like Master taught, Gilbert thought. He bit back a gasp as a hundred different fragments of emotions and memories flooded from the idol he could see the creatures that had lived here/pale green skin and claws/ruby red eyes/bowing before this idol/invaders/stronger than their primitive weapons/they could use the Great Power against them though/pushed back to this holy place/almost all dead/pain/kill the invaders/their god must be protected/death/it hurts mother!/invaders coming/death/echoes/one of the red eyed creatures is chanting in front of the idol/his body falls/his spirit is in the idol now/the idol is moving/killing the invaders/but at a great price/all dead/nothing but the idol and the spirit now/silence

i am lonely

you are here now

but you cannot stay

i will heal him little one

but please

destroy the idol before you go

set me free

When Gilbert started shaking Francis got nervous. When tears slid down his pale cheeks Francis started freaking out. He grabbed Gilbert's shoulders and tried to pull him away but he couldn't be budged. A soft groan caught Francis' attention and he looked at the altar. Antonio was stirring, no, sitting up and rubbing his eyes! Before Antonio could speak Gilbert's eyes flew open and he roughly shoved him off the altar. Francis jerked forward and caught their friend quickly. He didn't get the chance to reprimand Gilbert. The albino had grabbed his lightsaber, the red blade mixing with the yellow glow around them and making a pale orange color that shimmered. Wordlessly he leaped onto the altar and struck down the statue. The top half fell to the ground and shattered.

thank you


It wasn't until a few days later that Arthur, Romano and Ludwig finally found them. The large, circular wall and crater from the crash had been easy to spot from above. They found their padawans sitting on a low table in the middle of the circle, eating fruit and surrounded by rubble and dust. The three boys hopped to their feet and ran to their masters. As soon as he was within reach Romano smacked Antonio across the head. "You bastard! What were you thinking, huh?!"Francis glanced at Gilbert, the echo hadn't returned ever since that statue had been smashed. Gilbert wasn't looking at Francis though, as soon as he'd caught sight of Ludwig he'd made a beeline for him.

Ludwig huffed slightly as his young charge ran into him and wrapped his arms around to make a hug. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Gilbert choked out. Ludwig smiled softly and patted his head,

"It's alright."


Whew! This was a doozy! It was one of those stories where ideas just keep coming (after a few days of writer's block of course XP). And in case it wasn't awesome what the third awesome thing about this story is: JEDI! I love Star Wars, I absolutely love it. The sad thing is that I wanted to write at least one sci-fi oneshot since a friend of mine absolutely LOVES it. *sarcasm* Aren't I a good friend? XD

Please review!
