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! Attack of the Clones continues! Have no fear, Meagan is featured a lot more in this chapter! It is a bit shorter than the previous ones, but there is a battle in the next one, so stopping it where it does, is a good breaking point.

As a quick note, we have done a bit of rearranging and cutting to include Meagan a bit more. The scenes with Obi-Wan and Jango space battle as well as the Separatist meeting on Geonosis have been cut as we didn't feel it was needed as we've all seen the movie. The major thing that was changed is that the scene between Dooku and Obi-Wan still happens, but we haven't included it. However, there is another added scene that kinda takes it's place, but we'll let you read that for yourselves! Anyway, if something is not making sense once you've read it, let us know. Thanks again for reading and reviewing! We always appreciate you! Enjoy!

MissFlynnie: We are quite pleased that our story has inspired you to watch the movie and we too thought Anakin and Padme needed a little work on their love story! Of course, when we're in the mood to watch a Star Wars movie, I wonder where our Meagan is! LOL!! Thanks again. Enjoy!

Jes Freedark: We are pleased you are enjoying our story and have read it a few times! That's a lot of reading, so thank you!! Anyway, we do tend to leave cliff hangers, so there will be more of those coming especially with the Clone Wars in full swing! Meagan might just find herself in a bit of trouble here and there.....Thanks again.....

Azura: Yes the actual clones are in the story. Of course we will be seeing much more of them and even getting to know a few of them pretty well, particularly a Cody and Rex who might become quite protective of Meagan! But more on that later! Thanks again for reading and reviewing!

Dimonah Tralon: We're glad that you're enjoying the story still! As for the early days, we still go back and reread part one and the start of part two and see how much Meagan and Obi-Wan have come....it's kinda interesting to see how it's grown....thanks again and enjoy!

Chapter Sixty Eight

**Meagan's Point of View**

Ever since I had the dream of a battle, I slowly began to feel that something was wrong. Or was that just the darkness growing? Or the stress of knowing a war might be coming or in the fact a dear friend was in grave danger? What if Obi-Wan was in danger? The dream never seemed to fully leave me and one night it completed itself and this time, I felt that it was real.....

"Come on, Master Yoda holds you in such high esteem." The voice was taunting my husband as the fierce battle continued, the blades slashing, stabbing, cutting, chopping so fast, so brilliant that my head was spinning with it all.

I found myself holding my breath, praying my husband could hold him off, but the other was obviously better, wearing Obi-Wan down where he was barely keeping up, constantly stumbling back, somehow keeping balance enough to stay in the fight.

Then suddenly, the opponent thrust forward and down, and as Obi-Wan spun down, the other swung back up, cutting into his upper arm. Then the blade finished its original path and cut quickly down, hitting Obi-Wan's upper thigh. Completely feeling my beloved's pain, I watched as he first stumbled, tripping and finally falling hard to the ground. The red blade was raised again and struck him down, just as Anakin got there, mere seconds too late.

Anakin cried out as my husband's body vanished.

I suddenly awoke, drenched in sweat, muffling the scream of despair of watching my husband die. Using the Force I began to calm down, trying to logically work my way through this. But every time I talked myself out of thinking he was in trouble, I'd see his body vanish before my eyes, I'd feel the pain slicing through my soul. A pain I'd already known, a pain so deep it nearly killed me. The pain of losing a part of your soul.

I closed my eyes, trying to force the memories of nearly losing Obi-Wan to that damn pirate to the back of my mind, but they wouldn't go away and the guilt that I felt then, that I didn't do something to help him, started to crowd in.

So, sometime close to dawn, I made my decision. I wasn't going to let him die, not when I knew he was in trouble, not when I could save him. This time I wasn't going to let it happen.

Of course, I didn't go back to sleep, but just began packing my things so I could be on my way as soon as I could. While everyone else was still sleeping, I crept out of the house and loaded my things into the small transport. As I arrived back, Dede had just gotten up and was making a pot of coffee.

"Meagan what's wrong?" Knowing me for as long and well as she did, she immediately knew something was going on.

"I'm leaving." I told her as I poured myself a quick cup of coffee, wanting to wake up a little for the flight. "For Geonosis." At least that's where the first vision/dream had him at.

"You are going where?" Dede asked me, utterly amazed at my sudden declaration, especially as I had told her why I had to leave.

"Geonosis." I repeated as I took another long swig from the mug. "Obi-Wan's in trouble on his mission investigating the threats on Padme's life. I can feel it."

She lay a comforting hand on my arm. "He's a Jedi Master Meagan, he can take care of himself."

I slightly smiled. "I know, but I could almost hear him calling my name. I have to go. I thought I lost him once, which nearly destroyed me, I don't think I could bear it again."

Dede sighed, knowing she couldn't talk me out of it. "Be careful."

I nodded as I rose, ready to go. "I will."

Of course, Dede did see me back to the hanger, saying she could find another way or ride back home and that she would say goodbye to everyone for me. I hated to leave things like this, but Obi-Wan's life could be hanging in the balance. I had no choice.

After a final goodbye, I boarded the ship and started the preflight sequences. Soon, I was laying in a course and took off for Geonosis where I knew my husband was. Along the way, my dreams weighed heavily on my mind, bringing back the pain of when I lost him before. When I wasn't reliving those, I tried to force myself to think what I was going to do once I was there. But I couldn't come up with a firm plan not knowing the exact layout, but I knew no one would capture or kill my husband if I had anything to say about it. The consequences I knew would come didn't phase my determination. It was all I could do but to go after him, even if it was utter foolishness.

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

After following Jango Fett through an asteroid belt and letting him think he had destroyed my ship, I slowly flew down onto the planet. Noticing a large number of Trade Federation vehicles, I landed behind some natural rock formations, hoping that would help hide anyone from seeing it. After wandering around for a bit, I found my way inside a droid factory. It was nearly unbelievable that they were producing so many droids, obviously preparing for a war. Making my way through the complex, I finally caught up with the villains behind the entire plot. By listening into their conversations, I not only discovered what Dooku was up to, but who was behind the attempts on Padme's life, who was joining the Separatists and what they were exactly up to. After the meeting was over, knowing I needed to relay everything back to the Council, I slowly made my way out, not wanting to get caught.

"Try boosting the power." I told Arfour as I tried to make contact with the Jedi Temple. "I think Fett's shooting might have knocked something out."

Sure enough, Arfour's returned beeps confirmed it.

"Well, let's try Anakin. Naboo is closer." Pulling up his tracking signal, I tried to raise him, but it didn't quite get to him. "Oh, good Artoo, make sure Anakin transmits this back to the Jedi Council."

Artoo relied back positively and I started the message. However, I was only about halfway through when the droids rolled out, taking me into their custody.

**Anakin's Point of View**

Padme and I had been at the lake house for several days when we finally heard something. We had been taking a walk through the woods and as we were heading back into the house, Artoo caught up with us, saying he had received a message.

"It's probably from Obi-Wan." I told her as we headed into the ship where it was saved.

"Hopefully he's caught the bounty hunter."

"Hopefully so." Padme agreed as Artoo activated the message. "I need to get back to work."

"Anakin, my long range transmitter has been knocked out. Retransmit this message to Coruscant." Obi-Wan's voice came over the holomessage. Artoo paused the message while I looked over to Padme.

"Patch it through to the Jedi Council Chamber." I told her and we waited for a moment or two before we received the correct responding signal before Artoo began playing the message again.

"I have tracked the bounty hunter Jango Fett to the droid factories on Geonosis. The Trade Federation is to take delivery of the army and it is clear Viceroy Gunray is behind the assassination attempts on Senator Amidala." That did not come as much of a surprise to either Padme or myself. "The Commerce Guild and Corporate Alliance have pledged their armies to Count Dooku and are forming....."

The small figure of Obi-Wan suddenly swung about. "Wait, wait."

Both of us gasped as droidekas appeared next to him, grabbing him and taking him into their custody. The hologram flickered, then broke apart. I stared at the spot where my Master had been. There was absolutely nothing I could do.

Padme and I stood and waited as the Masters discussed things for a few minutes before Master Windu finally spoke directly to us. "Anakin, we will deal with Count Dooku. The most important thing for you to do now is to stay on Naboo and protect the Senator. That is your first priority."

"Understood Master." I said, hoping my resignation wasn't showing too much. I felt so torn in wanting to save Obi-Wan verses protecting Padme. The hologram flicked off and I stood there for a moment or two, not quite sure what to do.

However, Padme had other ideas, as she began to pull up maps and coordinates. "Look they have to come halfway across the galaxy." I still just stared at her. "Geonosis is a lot closer from here than Coruscant."

"Padme, you heard him." I protested weakly, almost giving into her reasoning, forcing the memories of when we nearly lost Obi-Wan to the pirate to the back of my mind.

"But they will never get there in time." She protested vehemently.

I stared at her for another moment or two before speaking. "I can't disobey their orders."

"So you are just going to let him die?" Padme stared at me in shock. "He's your friend, your mentor."

"He's like my Father." I nearly shouted back, the grief from nearly losing him to the pirate coming out, not able to hold it back any longer. "I nearly lost him once, you think I want to loose him again, to see Sasha grow up without her Father? But you heard Master Windu."

Padme came around, placing a gentle hand on my arm, soothing my sudden anger. "He gave you strict orders to protect me. I'm going to rescue Obi-Wan, so if you want to follow them, you'd better come along."

I knew this might not wash over with the Council, but the thought of telling Meagan what had happened to her husband floored me with such dread, that I found myself telling Padme it was okay. "Alright then, let's go."

She kissed my cheek gently and we were soon leaving Naboo.

**Meagan's Point of View**

I finally landed my ship on Geonosis, letting the Force guide me, but I couldn't sense Obi-Wan anywhere. I knew he wasn't dead, I would know it without a doubt, but he must have had his shields up extremely high. I landed behind some rock formations and powered down the ship. Making sure everything was closed up, I left the ship and hurried toward the caves. I wound my way through the mazes inside, wishing Obi-Wan would let his shields down for a fraction of a second, so I could at least get a glimpse at where my husband could be.

Even with using the Force, I still couldn't find my way through it. I could barely hear or see anything. I knew I was lost with no one to help me and I was on my own. I had just turned down a pathway when I felt a hand cover my mouth. I instantly began to fight it.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." A deep voice said, a voice that somewhat sounded like the one from my dreams. Suddenly a blue blade slashed across my neck. "You recognize this Meagan? It belongs to your husband. I took it from him." At those words, I suddenly realized it was Dooku as he purred, making me want to gag. "I would hate to tell your husband that his only defense took the life of his wife."

The blade vanished and I felt his hand loosen. I quickly turned around to face him. "You aren't going to get away with this. The Republic won't stand for you holding a Jedi Master and a Temple employee hostage."

"I wouldn't count on it." At his words, several Geonosian guards surrounded us. One of them came towards me. "Take her away. Lock her in a room different from her husband. I can't have them working together to escape."

They lead me down several hallways and eventually opened a door to a small cell with some light filtering in from the top. They drug me over to the corner and chained me to the wall. After they left, I collapsed onto the floor, nearly in tears. I had failed to rescue my husband. Now we would both die.

I wasn't sure how long I was sitting in the corner, trying to meditate, trying to calm myself. I barely even looked up as the door slid open and Dooku strode in.

"I'm sorry that I had to tie you up." He said, walking around the room. "But I couldn't have you trying to escape."

I didn't say a word, only watching him walk around the room as he continued on.

"You know, Meagan, you have become quite well known, brought here from another galaxy, marrying the only Jedi to have defeated a Sith in a millennia. I've certainly heard about your compassion for others, particularly orphaned children, but lately you saved a Senator's life. That must mean you're brave." He paused as he gazed at me. "I've been wanting to meet you."

I still didn't say anything, not sure what Dooku was getting at. Was he really all that bad? Could we still negotiate with him in order to bring out a peaceful resolution? What was really going on?

Dooku started around again before coming to stand before me, gazing down. "You are quite a beautiful woman. I might be willing to negotiate with you."

I finally looked up at that, my curiosity getting the better of me. "I might be listening."

Dooku only paused for a moment before explaining that there was a Dark Lord gaining power, using the viceroy of the Trade Federation, then later betraying them. That the viceroy tried to tell the Jedi Council of this, but they didn't believe him. I sat there listening to this, not quite sure to believe it or not. Something didn't seem right, but yet it seemed almost logical.

"Now, my dear, here is the interesting part." Dooku made a rather dramatic pause before continuing on again. "I've learned something that might be of more interest to you, to your family. And I thought I could offer my services to you."

"What are you talking about?" I found myself asking.

"You and your little Jedi my dear." I couldn't hold back the gasp that escaped my throat. "He knows about her of course, along with your journey to this very galaxy. He knows that you have a purpose and she is it."

I pretended to be disinterested, but found myself listening, wanting to protect Sasha at all costs. Could the Sith really know about me? Know about Sasha that much to want her?

"I hate to be the one to tell you of this, but I really feel you should know, in order to be protected." He paused again and I waited almost impatiently. "The Sith want your daughter, he wants her to become his next apprentice. When that awful pirate came after your family several years ago, the Sith Lord was behind the plot, paying the bounty on her head. Even though you killed the pirate, he still is after her."

"Liar." Suddenly energized I jumped to my feet, pulling against the chains that bounded me. "There is no way that's even possible."

"I know this can be hard to accept, but trust in your feelings, trust the logic in this." Dooku began to circle around the room, my own ire growing. "Of course the entire galaxy has heard about your travels. Why wouldn't the Sith be curious to know why a lady such as yourself would have been brought here by the Force and married the very man, a Jedi Knight, that slaughtered his own apprentice? And when the little one comes along, of course he would be past curious, wanting to discover the whys behind everything, to take her to train in the darkness."

I stood there seething as Dooku calmly went on. "Now, here is where the negations come in. I could protect her. The Sith have no interest in an old Jedi that left the Order. However, they don't know that my power is just as great as it was before. Then with her power and mine, we could defeat the Dark Lord, together. In token of my goodwill, I will release your husband and set him free, in exchange that you and your daughter will come with me."

The silence was thick as I weighed my choices. Was he lying? Could he really protect Sasha? Was the Sith even after her? The questions went on and on, but Obi-Wan's life hung in the balance. Could I give myself to him, leaving my beloved husband? But if it protected Sasha....what if he was right and the Sith took my baby, could I live with knowing I didn't protect her to the best of my abilities?

"Now, Meagan, I should also tell you, that I am a very wealthy man. You will never want for anything and will be very comfortable. My vast resources would be open to you to help anyone that was in need, that you could still save the lives of thousands of children." He was watching me closely. "I'm sure Obi-Wan would want you to be safe, even if it wasn't him that was protecting you. I know this is a very big decision, but I'm afraid that it must be made soon as the Geonosians are very quick at setting their executions. He is sentenced to die tonight."

"No! He's innocent." The thought that I would lose him so soon seared through me. I could save him, even if it meant being apart. I would rather see him alive and separated from me, than feel the grief of his death. I bowed my head, knowing I would have to give him up to save him, but would Sasha be truly safe away from the Jedi?

"Now, I know this is hard, but you are making the right decision." He said quietly as he was turning to go and I caught a look in his eyes that made me doubt him. Something wasn't right here even though it was extremely logical. Something began telling me he was lying and I could swear that Qui-Gon's voice echoed through the chamber, telling me to trust my gut instincts.

"I didn't say I agreed to this Dooku." I called him back and he turned back to face me. "What if I don't believe you? What if it's you that's in league with the Dark Lord? That the second we join you, you'll take my baby straight to him?"

He didn't even bat an eyelash only calmly stating. "But what if I'm right? If you don't take this deal, your husband, your protection will die tonight."

I stared back at him, suddenly sure of my decision. "I'll take my chances."

"Are you quite sure my dear, depriving your daughter of her father's very life?"

"Get the hell away from me." That was it. If he didn't believe my words, he would believe this as I spit in his face.

Dooku looked extremely disgusted as he wiped his face, turning to leave. "Such a temper. Perhaps it would be better for you to die with your husband."

Once he was gone, I leaned against the wall, breathing deeply, trying to let go of the pent up emotions. But as I sank down to the floor, I felt the Force giving me peace and I knew I had made the right decision.

And now for our quote and in honor of the recent Valentine's Day, from one of our favorites: "Sweet Home Alabama"

"Why would you want to me marry me for anyhow?"

"So I can kiss you anytime I want."
