\/Chuckyman's Note\/
Hey guys, I know… It's been a while. Again. School and everything has taken over my life though, so I'm sorry I haven't been able to upload recently. There will be more uploads, but at a much more slow and steady pace over the next few months. Please leave a review, tell me what I can improve on and what other stories you want to see come out. I've already got a few I'm beginning to plan. Sorry for the wait, over half a year, and hopefully I can stay on track this time.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters or locations in this story, however I do own the story.
INT. JEDI TEMPLE, CORRIDOR - EVENING
MACE WINDU and YODA walk down the long hallways, silhouetted by a lit room at the end.
MACE WINDU
Why couldn't we see this attack on
the Senator?
"Yes, It's almost as if the sith lord we've been looking for is behind this all", said Obi Wan,' looking intriguingly over at Yoda and Anakin. "I wouldn't be surprised", replied Anakin. General Grievous chuckled and coughed in the corner, knowing of what was to come, and that the Jedi knew nothing of it. Yoda stared at the cyborg until he stopped. The movie continued playing.
YODA
Masking the future, is this
disturbance in the Force.
MACE WINDU
The prophecy is coming true, the
Dark Side is growing.
"What this could be, I wonder", said Yoda looking intriguingly over at the hooded figure and the cyborg that laughed hysterically before. I wonder why he was laughing, Yoda thought. He would discover more about this strange creature by focusing on its reactions later in the film.
YODA
And only those who have turned to
the Dark Side can sense the
possibilities of the future. Only
going through the Dark Side can we
see.
MACE WINDU
It's been ten years, and the Sith
still have no shown themselves.
Do you think they are behind this?
YODA
...Out there, they are. A
certainty that is.
MACE WINDU
Do you think Obi-Wan's apprentice
will be able to bring balance to
the Force?
Anakin's ears perked up at this, suddenly more alert on what was happening on the screen. All this talking was boring him. Then, the strange famer boy he had seen in the lift said "Bring balance to the force? Who could possibly have such a massive weight on their shoulders?". Anakin looked sadly at the ground. Me, He thought to himself.
YODA
Only if he chooses to follow his
destiny.
And that's exactly what I'll do, thought Anakin.
INT. SENATE BUILDING, AMIDALA'S APARTMENT, MAIN R0OM - NIGHT
ANAKIN is standing in the living room. He is in a meditative state. It is quiet. We hear DISTANT FOOTSTEPS in the corridor outside the apartment. Suddenly ANAKIN'S eyes pop open. His eyes dart around the room. He reaches for his lightsaber, then smiles and puts it back in his belt.
The door to the apartment slides open, and OBI-WAN enters.
OBI-WAN
Captain Typho has more than enough
men downstairs. No assassin will
try that way. Any activity up
here?
ANAKIN
Quiet as a tomb. I don't like
just waiting here for something to
happen to her.
"Yes, that does sound rather uncomfortable", said Leia. She was still trying to make sense of the plot. It was clear that a man named Anakin was the Jedi apprentice of a man named Obi Wan, so these people must have been from the time of the first Galactic republic. Anakin, She thought she had heard that name before. Maybe a name her father, Bail, had talked about. Maybe this was the man he was referring to. She wondered if he was still alive in the time of the Empire, but he was probably killed by the Jedi purge. But we can now prevent that, She thought.
OBI-WAN checks a palm-sized view scanner he has pulled out of his utility belt. It shows a shot of ARTOO by the door, but no sign of PADME on the bed.
OBI-WAN
What's going on?
ANAKIN shrugs.
ANAKIN
She covered that camera. I don't
think she liked me watching her.
"I wonder why, kiddo. The amount of times you smiled creepily in her direction, or even talked creepily to her, I'm surprised she hasn't run away already", exclaimed Han. Anakin looked sadly away. His future self was quite creepy and weird, he thought. But he can change that, right? "Now, now, that's probably not the reason why I covered the camera", said Padme. "I just value my privacy". Han sighed, "Sure, whatever you say sweetheart".
OBI-WAN
What is she thinking?
ANAKIN
She programmed Artoo to warn us if
there's an intruder.
OBI-WAN
It's not an intruder I'm worried
about. There are many other ways
to kill a Senator.
"True", said Luke. "That was quite a dumb act you did there", gesturing in Padme's direction.
ANAKIN
I know, but we also want to catch
this assassin. Don't we, Master?
OBI-WAN
You're using her as bait?
ANAKIN
It was her idea... No harm will
come to her. I can sense
everything going on in that room.
Trust me.
"Yeah sure you do kiddo. Using her as bait? What are you thinking?" said Han. "Hang on", said Anakin. "Let's see if it works."
OBI-WAN
It's too risky... and your senses
aren't that attuned, young
apprentice.
ANAKIN
And yours are?
OBI-WAN
Possibly.
Just want to say thank you all for reading, be sure to leave a review and tell me what other stories you want to see written. I have a long list of potential stories. Expect another update of this fic in around a week's time.
