Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi, General of the Republic 212th Clone Attack Battalion, one of the many Jedi fighting at the frontlines of the Clone Wars, currently under a serious life-or-death surgery procedure after being hit by a droid's shot.
now, please refrain from going mad or angered such as 'how the hell would obi-wan be hit by a droid?!' or 'are you stupid or something? there's no way a Jedi as great as obi-wan would be sent to a life-or-death surgery by a single droid?'
to answer those questions, let's take you all back in time to the start of the events that have let obi-wan towards this path.
Planet Christophsis, BBY 22, after Anakin and Ahsoka detonates the Ray Shield
obi-wan had captured the separatist general, general Loathsom, as he was surrounded by battle droids.
the separatist general had ordered his troops to surrender after been captured and was scared for his life, what could the Jedi do to him with that lightsaber of his, it was a terrifying thought, but for now he was alive, that was when a strange and unnatural scream filled the air planting fear and horror into his very being.
Obi-wan was quite confident now that the deflector shield has been deactivated and was making sure that the separatist general could not order his forces anymore, however, a strange disturbance came from the Force and immediately after it a wave of fear and horror came passing through him, the touch of the wave through the Force sending his entire body into a world of pain as a scream filled the air. In his pain induced state Obi-wan had involuntarily released general Loathsom and that became a fatal mistake, even though he couldn't control his body, as a B2 Battle Droid, or Super battle Droid as the clone called it, shot him dead in the chest area sending him flying a few feet with a missile. That could have been Obi-wan's final moment but thankfully the clones came back after seeing the Ray Field been destroyed and using their heavy artillery cannons, the clones made waste of the Droid army, but after seeing their general the clones quickly went and got obi-wan and took him back to their base to get him saved. It went without saying that Anakin Skywalker was scared when he heard the news, he kept passing in front of the doors of the surgery room praying to the Force (not that he believed it would answer to this specific request) that his master could make it through with the surgery.
When the doors opened, Anakin was the first to ask
"So? How is he?" Anakin asked barely keeping his voice in check, but the worry was overwhelming to him, despite the fact that he could use the Force to check if obi-wan was indeed alive, but in his worry, he closed his senses to the Force
The clone medic looked him at the eyes, professionally and without any emotion "General Kenobi is stable"
those words send relief towards Anakin as he finally allowed himself to feel his master's presence through the Force, the familiar stern yet brotherly aura his master had was already enough for him to recompose himself
"Thank you Patches, I believe that without you, Master Kenobi would have not made it"
Patches, the clone medic, nodded to Anakin and after sending Obi-wan to another room, so that he could rest, he allowed Anakin to enter for visit time, though he warned that it would be better to not make general Kenobi stress himself.
Smiling despite the stern face Patches was sending him, Anakin entered the room, where his master was resting, his entire torso covered in bandages and some bacta bandages at his forehead, it appeared that he hit his head as well, but now was not the time to make jokes.
"How are you feeling, master?"
"I've been worse… argh…. But, been hit in the chest by a droid's missile IS a new worst" Obi-wan spoke, even if his chest hurt a little
"Well you survived, that's what counts…" Anakin said and went deep in thought for a moment before asking something that was bothering him, and he could see what was bothering his master as well "what was that thing?"
Obi-wan didn't need to ask what Anakin was talking about " I wish I knew, but never before I felt something like that, I could hear the Force itself screaming…"
"Wait. You too?"
"so you felt it as well" Obi-wan said, his voice matching his gaze, grave and troubled
"I… I thought that was the Force telling me that you died…" Anakin spoke
Obi-wan put his hand on his chin and began to think just what was that scream he and Anakin heard, suddenly the door slid open revealing a young togruta girl; her skin is a tan orange, she has some small white and blue striped tentacles on her head called lekkus. She has had a padawan braid made of silka beads, signaling she was a Jedi apprentice.
"Master Kenobi… how are you feeling?" The togruta girl asked Obi-wan
"I'm fine now, thank you for asking Ahsoka" Obi-wan answered.
Both he and Anakin could sense that she wished to ask something but was restraining herself; which was visible by her hands tightening on themselves
"Is there something you want to say Ahsoka?" Obi-wan asked.
"Actually Master, there is." Ahsoka began and after a nod from Anakin, she went on "when master Anakin and I were done with destroying the Reflector Shield Generator, Master Anakin and I felt a strange disturbance in the Force; there was a scream an-"
"I felt it as well Ahsoka" Obi-wan answered, this made the padawan stop and look down on her hands disappointed but then her face lit up as she recorded of something
"But master Kenobi, there is something else" This got the Jedi master's attention "while we were returning I saw something on the road and went there myself to identify it. At first, I thought it was a civilian or even a clone, but its clothes looked nothing like either and they were unconscious so I called the clones that were nearby, we were going to bring it here for interrogation"
" 'were'? " Obi-wan asked
"Yes, when the clones tried to pick it up, we discovered that it was heavier than it looked and after a quick scan from the medic in the team, we found out that it was actually a Droid. A very sophisticated and very human-looking one" Ahsoka then picked a small circular object attached to her belt, a holo-projector, and showed a hologram of a human with a very strange attire
This took both master and knight by surprise, a Droid that looked like a human? And highly sophisticated at that. How in the name of the Force was that even possible?
Anakin walked closer to Ahsoka, so to see better this "Droid" and was impressed by how human it looked like, in fact, if Ahsoka or the scanners hadn't said it was a Droid he would have believed it was a human.
" Master" Anakin said looking back at Obi-wan "do you think this is some sort of separatist infiltration Droid?"
"I don't know Anakin… the way this Droid looks like and that attire, I have never seen anything like that even in the Jedi archives, too bad it was already scrapped"
"But it wasn't" Ahsoka answered making both look back at her "since we don't know it's origins we bought it back and placed at a spare med-bay, most because of its appearance, and placed some reinforcements on the doors to keep it there in case it turns out to be a separatist Droid" Ahsoka said "and by we, I mean Captain Rex placed the reinforcements by his judgment call"
Anakin smirked at that, it looks like his Padawan is already getting acquainted with his trusted clone captain. "Alright Snips, let's take a look at this Droid you found," Anakin said and after bidding Obi-wan farewell, he went out of the room, with Ahsoka following behind
"Ahsoka wait" Obi-wan spoke before the togruta could follow her Master "the three of us haven't been the only ones to feel that. Probably many others across the galaxy have felt it and this Droid you found somehow is connected to all of this" Obi-wan spoke clearly "while it might sound strange, let's keep the existed of this Droid a secret, at least in we find out which side it is on"
Ahsoka was visibly confused but decided to trust Obi-wan's judgment, so with a nod, she went after her master and led him towards the med-bay where she and the clones put the droid.
As the door closed Obi-wan's face grew concerned, a droid that is extremely sophisticated and of unknown origin appeared out of nowhere and after a strange disturbance in the Force…
Something was coming, that Obi-wan was sure but what or when was a whole different history
FenixX13... Logging out...
