From Earth to Star Wars: Part Two

Disclaimer: All characters except for Meagan, Sasha and a few minor other characters, belong to George Lucas, and we are not receiving any profit off this work of fiction.

AN: Hey everyone! Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year! We've had a good Christmas. We had family over earlier in the month and some more came over this past weekend. We hope and pray that you are being blessed this season. Anyway, with everything going on and Meagan was sick for a bit, there was a bit of a delay getting this chapter up. Hopefully the next will be up soon!

Once again, as with the previous chapters, there is very little Meagan, as there is certainly more focus on Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padme. But don't worry, she will be back in full force starting with the next chapter. Also, once again, so this doesn't feel like a repeat, we've either modified, shortened or changed some of the scenes from the movie. If something doesn't make sense, please ask! Please note, just in case you haven't picked up on it, Anakin is NOT having visions of his mother dying! Also, Shmi Skywalker/Lars has NOT been taken by the Tusken Raiders. She is safely at home with her husband and family. Rest assured there is a method to our madness and more likely than not, she will be making a much happier appearance later in our story!

Azura Soul Reaver: Yes, we guess it is a little strange that Meagan has forgotten the time line plot to "Star Wars" and didn't put it together with her dream. However, she has become such a part of the "real Star Wars" world, that she, in essence has forgotten it, especially in being married to Obi-Wan and having a child with him. She's also kinda thrown out everything she remembers as the two worlds are seemingly different and hasn't really wanted to reconcile the two together. Something she may eventually come to regret if it ever starts to come back to her. Anyway, thank you again for reading and reviewing. I hope that makes some sense to you! Happy Christmas and New Year.

MissFlynnie: We're glad that you are enjoying the added scenes between Anakin and Padme. We have also thought it to be a bit of a stretch for the two to fall in love so quickly, so we decided to change it to where they were in contact with each other and even periodically saw the other, to where it just flows a bit better! Thanks again for reading! Happy Christmas and New Year.

Dimonah Tralon: It's okay!! We thought to give our readers a bit of warning when the updates stop coming so fast! Anyway, Sasha has been quite a character to write, to explore her, as she grows. (She sometimes has been threatening to take over, but she's not quite the center of the story yet! LOL!) Unfortunately, we won't be seeing her again till after AOTC is completed, but she'll be back! Thanks again for being such a faithful reader! Happy Christmas and New Year.

Chapter Sixty Seven

**Meagan's point of view**

After completely getting over the fact the Council had wanted me off planet, I throughly enjoyed my trip. Seeing and helping the people around me certainly distracted me from the fact a friend's life was in danger as well as the upcoming vote. So over the course of several days I began to feel better, having nearly completely forgotten the weird dream I'd had several days ago. In fact, I almost began to enjoy myself a bit more and really relaxed until the weird dreams started again. It must have been in the wee hours of the morning when it began to happen.....

"You're going to pay for all the Jedi you killed." I couldn't make out who my husband and Anakin were facing, only that it felt dark.

The two of them slowly circled around their opponent, readying themselves to a fight, but then suddenly blue lighting shot out, catching Anakin and lifted him up in the air. He was thrown against a far wall, where he fell down dazed.

The man then turned to my husband. "As you can see, my powers are far beyond yours."

Once again, the lighting shot across toward Obi-Wan, but he was ready and the glowing blue blade of his saber easily absorbed it. "I don't think so."

I fought to keep in the dream, but just as Obi-Wan stepped closer in, it completely faded away......

I awoke nearly instantly, a bit of dread filling in the edges of my spirit. Was Obi-Wan in trouble, was he in danger? Was the Sith about to come back out of hiding? The questions went on, but no answers came. It was a long time before I went back to sleep.

Obi-Wan's Point of View

As I left hyperspace, I immediately saw the "missing" planet, right where it

should be. Those files certainly had been altered. Hopefully, I mused to myself, that we could found out who did it and why. Disengaging the hyperspace ring, I began to glide down to the planet of Kamino.

As I flew, I saw the planet was all ocean, with no sign of any land mass. After receiving landing coordinates, I brought the ship down, right into a rain storm. The sea was as stormy as the nearly electric atmosphere was, but that didn't prove to be a problem as I flew around Tipoca City getting a feel for the place. It certainly was a work of art with its gleaming domes, perfectly angled walls, built straight out of the ocean. "Well, arfour, it certainly isn't the next vacation spot for Meagan and I, but it's quite a piece of engineering."

The droid only teetered, as if agreeing.

I landed on the platform they had indicated. Drawing my robe around me, I pulled back the canopy and pulled myself out of the ship. Dashing across the platform with the wind and rain pounding down and around, the robe did little to protect me. So by the time I reached the door, I was pretty soaked.

The door slid open to a brightly lit white warm room.

"Master Jedi, it's good to see you." A calm voice spoke and I turned to face the graceful figure towering above me. "I am Taun We. The Prime Minister is expecting you."

"I'm expected?" Her words immediately surprised me, leaving me scrambling to hide my incredulity.

"Of course." Taun We replied softly. "Lama Su is anxious to see you since after all these years we were beginning to think you weren't coming. Now, please this way."

Though I followed her calmly, my mind was spinning. How did they know to expect me and to think I wasn't coming? What was going on here? Were they connected at all to the threats on Padme's life?

After some moments of walking through more warmly lit white rooms, cleaner than I've seen anything, another door slid open and we stepped inside. Taun We soon introduced me to Lama Su, the Prime Minister.

After a few polite greetings, we got down to business. "You will be delighted to know we are on schedule. Two hundred thousand units are ready, with a million well on the way."

I found myself almost stuttering and only with my years of hard training was I able to speak clearly. "That is good news."

"Please tell your Master Sifo-Dyas that his order will be met on time and in full."

Quite overwhelmed at this, I somehow managed to speak, thinking I just heard wrong. "I'm sorry, Master?"

"Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas." Lama Su repeated, assuring me I had not misunderstood him. "He is still a leading member of the Council, is he not?"

Forcing all questions and thoughts about another Jedi Master out of my mind, I kept talking, to try and get as much information as I could. "I'm afraid to say he was killed nearly ten years ago."

"I'm so sorry to hear that, but I'm sure he would have been proud of the army we've created for him."

"The army?" The words left my mouth before I could even think it through.

"The army of clones, one of the finest we have ever built."

I thought quickly on this. Did any of the other Masters know about this? Did Master Sifo-Dyas do this on his own or acting on someone else's orders? I reached into the Force, trying to pick up anything from the two, but they were straightforward, honest and open, so following my instincts, I kept the conversation going forward. "Tell me Prime Minister, when my Master first contacted you, did he say who it was for?"

"Of course. It's for the Republic."

The Republic! What is really going on here? An army of clones for the Republic? Commissioned by a Jedi? Did anyone know about this? Another Jedi? The Senate?

"I'm sure you would like to inspect the units for yourself."

"That's why I'm here." And with everything falling down around us, I certainly wanted to see them. So, taking my cues from my companions, we left the room.

We slowly began our tour of the facilities with Lama Su and Taun We guiding me around, explaining things as we went along. As we started in the hatchery, I couldn't help but feel the life forms growing in the spheres, suspended in fluid. I was quite impressed by the technology of it all and how very efficient they were, but to be honest, remembering the feel of Sasha growing inside of Meagan, I certainly preferred making babies the more normal way.

"Clones can think creatively." Lame Su went on as we kept walking down the hallway where the hatchery was, drawing my thoughts back to my guides. "You will find they are immensely superior to droids."

"Very impressive." I told them, being honest about it. The facility and everything in it ran efficiently and was very impressive. But also staggering, knowing those tiny creatures whose lives were just beginning had been created for one purpose, and one purpose only. To kill. A shudder ran through me.

"Right this way Master Jedi." Taun We said as we left one room and entered into another, with them explaining things about growth acceleration and genetic tapering to make them more obedient. "Now this batch was created about five years ago."

I turned and stared through the glass walls and watched what looked like to be thousands of identical boys, seriously studying. They were so quiet, so disciplined and nothing like any normal child should be. I looked around the room, thinking of Sasha and how active she was, how utterly different she would be from these clones. They never had a chance to be a child, where as Meagan and I took every joy from raising a child together.

"Would you care to inspect the final product now?" Lame Su said, once again, interrupting my musings.

"Yes, I would." I answered, feeling it strange to be referring to real, living breathing beings as units and products. That an army of beyond thousands had been created for only one purpose, completely blew my mind, assaulting my senses of right and wrong and the fact a Jedi Master had been involved was staggering.

The tour went into a commissary of sorts, where the clones, now young men about Anakin's age, sat about at tables, talking and eating together. As we watched them, I asked about the original host and who he was and where he was now. Hearing he was a bounty hunter didn't surprise me, but when they mentioned they originally wanted a Jedi host, I was past floored. This army was overwhelming enough, but a clone army of Force sensitive beings? I shoved that line of thought from mind, not really being able to deal with it now.

After requesting a visit with Jango Fett, we stepped out onto a sheltered balcony and watched the clones marching, dressed in white armor and wearing full face helmets, drilling with perfect precision.

"Magnificent aren't they?" Lama Su asked, obviously proud of the army they had created.

I nodded my head in agreement. They were quite magnificent, all marching together. They without a doubt would show brutal efficiency in actual battle. Another shudder ran through me. Here I was standing in front of a ready made army, the very idea that my wife had been fighting against. Throughout the last year, I thought I had understood Meagan's motives for fighting the Army Creation Act, but watching the clones, I finally completely felt what she had, completely understood why she was doing it. And for the first time, nearly damming the consequences, I wished I had let her do it.

After the tour was completed, Lama Su assured me that we could come back and pick up the Clones once we were ready for them. I thanked him for his time and information, saying the Jedi would certainly be in touch shortly. Taun We then directed me to Jango Fett's quarters. After a very illuminating discussion with him, I certainly felt he was the bounty hunter that was in the rocket suit the night Padme was attacked, but what I wasn't sure of was how everything else was connected together.

Taun We and I left Fett's and headed back down the white hallways. After making polite goodbyes, I headed back into the downpour and made contact with Masters Yoda and Windu. I briefed them about what I learned, then learning myself that the order had not been placed by the Council. Not surprisingly, I was ordered to bring in Jango Fett so the Masters could question him further. Cutting off the transmission, I headed back inside to find the bounty hunter.

**Anakin's Point of View**

"What do you say about having a picnic?" I asked Padme as she was reading one rather lovely late morning. "It'll be good to get out of the house for a while."

Padme looked up, smiling slightly. "That sounds wonderful. I think I know the perfect spot."

"Good." I couldn't help but smile. "I'll go get our things together."

"I'll get the food." She said, getting off the couch. "We can take some of the sandwiches mom sent with us."

My mouth was already watering as we finished getting ready. We headed out of the house and down a path that took us to a beautiful hillside covered with flowers. The sun was warm, but wasn't too hot. It was the perfect day for a picnic, not to mention my companion made everything pale in comparison.

"I remember Sola and I used to play out here as girls." Padme and I had spread out a blanket and were comfortably sitting down next to each other. "We sometimes spent all our time swimming in the lake or on the lake. Someday I hope to bring my children out here. Pooja and Ryoo love it out here."

I looked around, hoping someday it would happen. "It is a great place to bring kids, though Sasha would hide in these tall flowers and we'd never find her."

Padme laughed. "She really is something. Are Obi-Wan and Meagan really going to let us take her to get ice cream when all this is over?"

"Sure." I told her. "He would have said something then if he didn't want us to."

Padme smiled. "I'm certainly looking forward to it. It'll be a nice break from work."

I regarded her for a moment or two before asking. "After this vote is over, have you thought of retiring or doing something else here on Naboo?"

She looked thoughtful for a moment smelling some of the nearby flowers. "I can't deny that I've had the thought, but I don't think I can leave with everything that's been happening either. I'd want to see it through completely."

I wanted to ask what that other something could be, but wasn't quite sure how to phrase the question without sounding too....pushy maybe. "I think you could do anything you wanted to and be successful at it too."

Her face flushed slightly. "Why thank you Anakin. Speaking of that, do you have any other plans after you are Knighted?"

I pretended to consider it before answering her. "Well, I would like to get married someday, settle down with someone who would be able to handle being married to a Jedi. A handful of kids would be quite a challenge. Sasha, I'm sure would make a wonderful older cousin."

Padme smiled slightly. "I'm sure Meagan wouldn't mind another woman around too."

I faked a grimace. "She wouldn't mind at all, Master Obi-Wan and I would be outnumbered with Sasha."

Padme laughed, a delightful sound filling the air around us. "It doesn't matter, we always win. Just ask my Dad or Darred."

I shook my head. "I certainly could see that, but you have a wonderful family."

"I don't see them as much as I like too sometimes, but it helps knowing what I'm doing, keeps them safe." Padme grew thoughtful again. "I just hate to see them worry about me."

"They will always worry about you." I told her. "It's a part of being a family. I know Meagan fusses over us every time we go anywhere, no matter if it's dangerous or not."

"Do you still miss your mother?"

Her question completely threw me off for a moment, but answered it honestly. "Sometimes when I watch Sasha with either of her parents, I wish I could still see her. It was so hard at first, being so far from home. Master Obi-Wan and I kinda had a rough start. He was just knighted and grieving and I just left home, from being a slave, I sometimes almost wanted to go back to her." I paused, glancing around, seeing an eagle soaring down. "Then we found Meagan on our couch and it all began to change."

Padme listening closely, her hand covering mine as I continued.

"Despite the fact she too was grieving as her father had recently died and being torn from her home, she still spent time with me, helping me with things, with my studies." I couldn't help but smile remembering the early days. "She filled a very empty void in my life. Not that she replaced my mom, but she's like the big sister that's always there for you, loving you, being there for you, protects you from getting into too much trouble. Of course I had a lot of fun bugging Master Obi-Wan about her too, before they realized how much they belonged together. She changed both of us, for the better too."

Padme squeezed my hand. "Maybe you'll see her again someday."

"I hope so. Thank you for asking." I gazed into her deep brown eyes, wanting to get lost in them.

"Your welcome." She didn't break my gaze as I slowly leaned forward.

She smiled sweetly as if telling me it was okay. Being ever so gentle, I brushed my lips across hers for a rather long moment. My heart soared as she responded before we both pulled slowly away.

"Come on Anakin." Padme's face was slightly flushed. "I want to show you something."

"Alright." With that I took her hand and walked down the hill toward the waterfalls, both us temporary forgetting the bounty hunter that was after her.

**Obi-Wan's Point of View**

After doing some searching I finally found Jango Fett and his son, trying to leave planet.

"Dad look!" The boy cried out a warning as I pulled out my light saber, immediately igniting it.

It was a good thing too as the man in armor was certainly the assassin that we'd seen on Coruscant, began firing at me. Blocking the shots, despite the downpour, I made my way towards him. Sending one of the shots back to him, the rocket roared to life, allowing him to soar up to the top of a nearby tower.

Holding my lightsaber out in front of me, trying to find him in the deluge. "Jango, you are coming with me." In response he sent a folly of shots my way, which were easily deflected, but with the explosive pack, he blasted towards me and forced me to dive away.

Just as soon as I was settled onto my feet again, the ship's cannons came to life and sensing the Force's warnings, had me flying, diving, tumbling all over the place till they finally were emptied.

Of course, then Jango came straight at me, knocking me to the ground. I immediately cut to the right, avoiding a hit and jumped to my feet. For the next several minutes we exchanged blows, more of an old fashioned fist fight than anything else, being quite uncivilized. But, in the back of my mind, I thought that he was quite good and did make a good prototype for an army of clones.

At some point, I felt my lightsaber flying out of my hands and they were soon wrapped in a tight thin coil. Jango then turned, flying away, dragging me along with him. Twisting madly, slipping along the soaking wet slick platform, reaching even more deeply into the Force, I managed to bring myself to my feet. Making myself steady, I held unto the cord, pulling it around the tower, bringing Jango to the ground. He hit the platform hard, dislodging the rocket pack, making it explode in quite a show of light.

Obviously stunned, Jango slowly brought himself up to his feet. Seizing the moment, I charged towards him. Jumping into the air, I kicked hard into his chest with both feet, sending the man over the edge.

"Oh not good." I nearly cursed at myself for realizing that I was still attached to him as the cord jerked me down the slippery slide toward the raging sea hundreds of feet below us.

As we quickly slid down the side, Jango, with another trick up his sleeve, brought out a blade, cutting the wire from his arm, while I slid right past him. With the wire cut loose, I was able to start work my wrists out of them.

So, when I started to fall, I barely made out Jango beginning to climb back up the side. But I temporary had to forget what he was doing and find a way out of this. It seemed I was beginning to have a bad habit of making tumbles through nothing but air.

Catching the end of the wire, I twisted and threw it toward a crossbeam in the platform. It caught it easily, stopping my fall nearly instantly. I hung there for a moment or two, catching my breath, thinking that this was one part of my mission that Meagan would not hear about.

Shaking my head, well knowing she wouldn't like it, I began swinging, trying to gain enough momentum to jump to a small service platform below me. With a quick flip, I landed onto the platform, gaining my balance quickly. Stretching into the Force, I opened the doors to the service turbo lift with a wave of my hand. Though I got back to the main landing platform mere moments too late as Jango disappeared behind the closing rampway. Within moments the ship was lifting off the platform. Reaching into my robe, I pulled out the small transmitter, throwing it onto the belly of the ship.

Breathing deeply, I watched as the tracking device activated and the ship soon vanished into the storm. Drawing my robes around me, I headed back inside. Despite being in quite a fight, testing my limits with Fett, I felt quite pleased with the outcome. I would get him eventually.

Not seeing any of the Kaminoans, I got back to my ship, pulling up the tracking device, and studied Fett's flight pattern. "Arfour, plot that course."

The droid beeped several times, finally affirming that they were set.

"Alright, let's go." I told Arfour and soon we were rising into the storm, going after the bounty hunter, toward Geonosis.

Now for our quote from Prince Caspian:

"I don't suppose you have a match do you?" Peter asked.

"No, but would this help?" Edmund asked, pulling out a flashlight.

"You might have mentioned that a bit sooner!" Peter exclaimed.
