Loved the exchange between Anakin and Xanatos! grin

“I’m not his apprentice,” Anakin said, finally breaking into the conversation. Xanatos pursed his lips together in a pout, his eyes asking for the padawan to elaborate. Great … now he was going to have to explain … in a way that didn’t jeopardize the timeline. “My master and I …”

“There is another Jedi master on Bandomeer?!” The fallen Jedi’s eyes grew cloudy and dark, Anakin keen senses picking up on the Darkside rallying to Xanatos’ anger. “What is the Jedi Council trying to pull ..?”

“If you would keep your mouth shut for just a minute and let me finish, I would explain,” Anakin snapped angrily, effectively bringing the other to an amused silence. “We had trouble with our ship and are stopped here for repairs -- that’s all. And I don’t want to be here anymore than you want us here. I would much rather be back at the Temple on Coruscant in a warm bed eating something besides field rations. Do you get it?”

“Forgive me,” Xanatos purred.

Anakin didn’t like the way the former Jedi was studying in him. He had allowed too much of his frustration to show, and now Xanatos was eyeing him like a child wondering what is wrapped up in a package.

Qui-Gina-Jinn - I think the fact that Anakin keeps telling himself that he would never betray Obi-Wan shows that he feels a lot of fear that he might.

dianethx - Anakin has just happened into a bad situation overall. It has to make him very insecure to see how different Qui-Gon was with a younger Obi-Wan.

azizah - Oh yes, Xanatos saw right through Anakin. And he found what he saw to be quite amusing.

Healer_Jinn - Yes, the last thing Anakin needs is to start listening to Xanatos. That little chat was something Obi-Wan likely wished never happened.

ClaudiaR - Yeah, Anakin would feel even more insecure if he knew what Obi-Wan's thoughts on him were before Qui-Gon's death. I always picture Obi-Wan as trying his best to hide his struggles from Anakin, maybe not wanting to burden someone who had so much on his shoulders already. I think the thought of Anakin seeing a young Obi-Wan makes Obi-Wan feel vulnerable. But who knows, maybe Anakin will react completely different than he thinks.

REALbluelightsaber - What makes you think something is going to happen to Obi-Wan? I mean, other than the fact that there are two of them now, and one is all that is needed to get into trouble.

Fifilla - Thanks so much.

Gkilkenny - I always feel sorry for Obi-Wan. He didn't ask for a lot of what happened to him in life, but was willing to push aside self and take on the responsibility. Let's hope what happens makes his life better rather than worse.

jedidas3 - Oh yes, you are most definitely right. Xanatos meeting up with Anakin is nothing but trouble.

aliceandjasper - Anakin really needs to open up to Obi-Wan. I suspect it is something that never happened much in canon, obviously.

Itachi-Uchiha - Xanatos just feels the need to crush anyone who looks up to Qui-GOn, something young Obi-Wan and Anakin both have in common.

VaderLVR- That was one tense hangar bay. I'm not sure Xanatos is used to having people snap at him.

Chapter 4

“Anakin, are you there?”

Obi-Wan spoke in soft whispers, careful to not wake the boy stretched out on one of the many bunks that filled the room.

“Master? Where are you?”

“I am on a deepsea mining platform on the Great Sea of Bandomeer.”

Sneaking onto the mining platform had been easy enough. A Force suggestion had quickly quieted the one guard he had been unable to avoid. Obi-Wan was now seated on the floor, hidden among the many bunks, waiting and watching, though he wasn’t entirely sure what he was watching for.

"This is where I was taken after Xanatos kidnapped me. Has anything out of the ordinary happened?”

“Nothing, Master,” Anakin answered, sounding rather bored. “Qui-Gon has been asking around about the box you told me about. We took a trip to Offworld Headquarters.”

“Did anyone see you?”

“I had to get past security, but the guard won’t remember ever seeing me,” Anakin answered confidently. “Qui-Gon has been in his quarters since we returned. And, I’ve been sitting here outside … hidden … waiting.”

“He probably contacted the Council with what he found.” Obi-Wan shifted, stretching his legs to a more comfortable position.

“What is little Obi-Wan up to?” Anakin asked.

“He took quite a blow to the head and is still unconscious, but should be stirring soon. Then they will put him to work.”

"Is he well enough?" Anakin asked with obvious concern.

"That matters little to those in charge, Padawan," Obi-Wan said softly. "He's a slave now, until he's rescued that is."

The words drew a long pause from Anakin as the padawan thought to a former life, a mother who he had left behind.

"I'm sorry, Master. I had no idea you woke up in that sort of place,” Anakin said gently.

Obi-Wan was touched by his apprentice’s compassion, one of Anakin’s more endearing qualities. “I have it on good authority that he survives, relatively unscathed,” he answered. “I will be there to make sure nothing else happens. Which reminds me … only contact me if it is an absolute emergency. I will need to blend in and work with the other miners so I can keep watch over my young self.”

“Yes, Master. It looks like I got the better end of this … wait … someone is coming to Qui-Gon’s door. A woman … red hair …”

“Her name is Clat’Ha. She is coming to inform Qui-Gon that I am missing. You will most likely be on the move soon, so I will contact you again later.”

“Yes, Master.” Anakin shut off his comlink and let out a sigh. “Thank the Force,” he whispered to himself. They were going to do something besides sit and wait.

***
Qui-Gon left his room at dusk after hearing the news of young Obi-Wan’s disappearance. Anakin followed him to the outskirts of Bandor to a mine belonging to Offworld. Piles of slag and other mining debris loomed high in the yard surrounding a small building and an adjoining smelting plant. It provided ample hiding places, which worried Anakin. It would be a perfect place to stage an ambush. He was going to have to stay closer than he had been. Fortunately, it was dark. The only light came from the moon and a scattering of stars that seemed to penetrate the thick pollution.

Anakin watched Qui-Gon from behind a pile of slag. He was uncertain what the Jedi master was doing until he saw a figure leave the administration building and begin to cross the yard. Xanatos.

“If you have plans for Bandomeer, you should know I am here to stop you,” Qui-Gon announced as he stepped into his former apprentice’s path.

From his hiding spot, Anakin had difficulty hearing the more hushed tones that followed. He slipped from behind the slag pile and neared, keeping to the shadows as Xanatos began to circle Qui-Gon.

“We were friends at the end, more than master and apprentice,” Xanatos said as Anakin found shelter behind another mound of debris.

“Yes,” Qui-Gon said calmly as his eyes followed every move Xanatos made. “We were.”

“All the more reason for you to betray me …”

The verbal sparring faded to background noise as the words, “we were friends at the end,” continued to echo in Anakin’s mind. He still did not understand how Xanatos could have betrayed Qui-Gon. Though he and Obi-Wan had certainly exchanged words over the last seven years, Anakin could not fathom possibly raising his saber against his master, especially not after all they had been through and seen together. If Qui-Gon and Xanatos had truly been friends, what had happened?

Anakin felt a warning through the Force and looked up to see Xanatos circling even closer to Qui-Gon, his cloak now brushing against the taller man. The Jedi master distanced himself, issuing a stern verbal warning.

“You were always overconfident. You have gone too far this time.”

“No.” Xanatos drew a lightsaber. The blade that lit up the darkness reminded Anakin too much of the Sith weapon that had claimed Qui-Gon’s life. “Now I have gone too far.”

Anakin never saw Qui-Gon draw his saber, but was suddenly aware of the bright green blade flickering into existence. Xanatos leapt to deliver his first blow. Qui-Gon deflected it. The sabers met, hissing as they sent sparks into the night air. Qui-Gon only defended as Xanatos pursued him with skill and grace that surprised Anakin. The fight wore on, words of hatred bubbling out of the Xanatos’ mouth as the Darkside swelled around him. The fallen Jedi’s blade cut a glowing arc through the sky as he rained down blow after blow on the Jedi master. Anakin’s hand hovered over his own weapon. It was taking every bit of his resolve to not charge in and defend Qui-Gon.

Qui-Gon leaped to avoid yet another strike, then sprang forward at Xanatos, finally going on the offensive. Xanatos deflected each blow, smoke sizzling into the air as crimson crossed emerald again and again. Qui-Gon backed Xanatos against a wall, but the younger man leaped onto a nearby slag heap and flipped over, landing on the Jedi master’s other side.

“You destroyed everything I loved,” Xanatos accused. The fallen Jedi’s saber came down, Anakin tensing as the blade slid past Qui-Gon’s shoulder and singed his tunic. “You destroyed me that day, Qui-Gon. Yet I was reborn. Stronger, wiser. I have surpassed you.”

Sabers continued to clash as the pair disappeared behind another heap of debris. In Anakin’s haste to follow the fight, he tripped over the edge of a slag pile causing a rushing slide of debris. The sound echoed through the empty yard. Qui-Gon turned toward the sound for just a moment, sending out a probe through the Force to look for another assailant. The distraction was enough for Xanatos.

“No!” Anakin cried out as Xanatos brought his saber down. He drew upon the Force, harnessing its power to push Qui-Gon from the blade’s path. The Jedi master slammed roughly into a nearby wall and slid to the ground.

Xanatos stepped back for a moment, surveying his new opponent. He began to casually circle again. Anakin shifted, keeping the fallen Jedi in his line of sight.

“I thought you were supposed to under no circumstances interfere, brat. What will your master say to this?” Xanatos taunted.

“I hope he will forgive for saving Master Jinn’s life,” Anakin answered.

It felt good to be out of hiding, to be facing down an enemy. Anakin could feel the Force surging through him as he readied himself. He didn’t have to wait long. Xanatos lunging at him quickly, bringing down a strong blow. He faked left, then charged right, before attacking left again. Anakin was there to meet every strike.

Xanatos was stronger than he had assumed, each swing jolting his arms. Though Anakin had sparred on many occasions, he had never fought to this extent and he found himself reaching for the Force as never before, bending it to his will. Adrenalin surged through his body. He had never felt more alive than now as he teetered on the edge of death, one false move all that stood between him and its cold grip.

“You are stronger than I would have thought for a mere padawan,” Xanatos sneered at him.

Anakin allowed himself a smile. The fallen Jedi had no idea that he was fighting the Force’s Chosen One. “And your fighting is just as sloppy as I would have expected from a Temple reject,” he shot back.

How dare you!” Xanatos howled. Reaching beneath his cape, he produced a second saber. A bright blue blade split the sky. It was Obi-Wan’s saber. Not his master’s, but the same vivid color that he associated with his master. It reminded him that his was the man that had brought so much pain to both Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. He was the reason a thirteen year old Obi-Wan was injured, working as a slave on a mining platform. Anger began to churn within him.

Xanatos continued to pummel him aggressively, rage fueling each attack. The dual blades were a dazzling blur of crimson and blue. The fallen Jedi kicked out with a foot, sending the padawan stumbling. Anakin scrambled out of the way and quickly gained his footing. Frustration clogged his mind, chipping away at the focus he'd had only moments before. He was failing. He missed the next strike, the blade glancing down his shoulder. There was no time to grab his wounded arm, as the next blow followed. He arms began to bow as Xanatos pushed against his blade with all his strength. Anakin heard the sound of another saber igniting in the distance. Xanatos pivoted in time to meet Qui-Gon’s attack. The strike knocked Obi-Wan’s saber from the fallen Jedi’s hand.

Now facing two opponents, Xanatos seemed to reconsider his options. “This isn’t over,” he growled before turning, and in a burst of Force-enhanced speed, disappearing into the darkness. Qui-Gon pursued only to return moments later. Using the glow of his saber to illuminate the area, he searched until he found the discarded saber belonging to young Obi-Wan.

“He got away,” Anakin asked, making more of a statement.

When the tall figure simply nodded, Anakin dropped to his knees, still panting heavily. His arm throbbed, but the wound to his pride hurt even more. A string of Huttese curses slipped easily from his lips.

“Such language?” Qui-Gon scolded. His tone was full of stern amusement as he began to survey the youth before him. Anakin looked up, the full impact of what had just transpired finally hitting him like a ton of duracrete. Qui-Gon Jinn was standing in front of him speaking with him, and they didn’t know where Xanatos had gone.

“My master is going to kill me,” he mumbled.

“Though I know many masters who have felt like it, I have never heard of one actually murdering his own apprentice. The Council frowns on it,” Qui-Gon answered gently as he crouched down and began to poke around at the wound to Anakin’s shoulder. “There is, of course, the question of who you are and why you are on Bandomeer.”

Anakin looked away, dropping his head as he bit down on his lip.

“Shall we start with your name?” Qui-Gon prompted.

“Anakin Skywalker.”

“Hmmm, I’ve never heard that name before,” the Jedi master mused. “I must be more out of touch in the Temple than I thought. Who is your master?”

“I … I can’t answer that.”

“I will point out that you are duty bound as a padawan to answer any master truthfully …”

“I know … I know,” Anakin snapped, wincing at the disproving stare earned. “But, I have a greater obligation to obey my master in this case.”

“Fair enough. I will find out his name eventually.” Qui-Gon stood and extended his hand to help Anakin to his feet. “Did the Council send you to Bandomeer?”

“No. We had trouble with our ship and this was the only place to set down.” At least that was something he could answer truthfully.

“Yet, you have been following me.”

“You knew?” Anakin asked. He had done his best to shield his presence and stay out of sight.

“I will admit, your shields were impeccable, especially for a padawan of your age. Still, I sensed something through the Force, and it does not lie.”

The sound of Anakin’s comlink chiming caused both of them to look down. Anakin was half relieved for the distraction, half petrified at explaining what had happened as he plucked the device from his belt. Before he could answer, the comlink was whisked from his hand through the invisible grip of the Force.

“Hey!”

Qui-Gon simply offered a smile as he pushed the button to activate it. After a moment of silence with no answer, Anakin heard his master’s voice. Though Obi-Wan’s tones were even and controlled, the words were heavy with obvious concern.

“Anakin, I sensed a disturbance and was just able to get away. Are you okay? Are you in danger? Where is Qui-Gon?”

“Qui-Gon is right here,” the Jedi master answered.

There was a long pause before Obi-Wan spoke again. “Master … Jinn. I am sorry for any inconvenience my apprentice may have caused you.”

“No, inconvenience, though I have many questions. Your apprentice is strangely silent even concerning something as trivial as your name. I also might add that he is afraid you are going to kill him.” Anakin looked away again as he was offered another amused glance from Qui-Gon. “I don’t know why you are here, but I could certainly use the help of a fellow Jedi. An initiate who accompanied me to Bandomeer is missing.”

“We should meet and discuss this in person, Master Jinn,” Obi-Wan said. “Where are you at?”

“The Offworld azurite mine on the outskirts of Bandor. Do you know it?”

“There is a dock not far from your location. You should have seen it on your way to the mine. I will meet you there.”

“We will be waiting,” Qui-Gon said.

laugh Go for it, Qui-Gon!

I wonder if Obi-Wan will tell Qui-Gon his real name thinking
But I think that perhaps Qui-Gon will be able to sense the truth? He could sense Obi-Wan's Force signature earlier, couldn't he?

Oh! Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon are going to meet! Why is Obi-Wan leaving young Obi-Wan alone? He should just grab him and go. Anakin has already interfered...though I place no blame on him. He didn't have much choice.

Great chapter! Can't wait for more!

Oh, dear. Anakin is in trouble now. At least Jinn will be getting some answers although not necessarily the answers he may want.

Great job with the fight!

Loved this.

Of course Anakin would jump in...though he knew Qui-Gon survived this encounter, he couldn't trust Qui-Gon to survive this encounter without his help. He had to stop it. Typical Ani and now the timeline will get all screwed - hopefully for the better.

This meeting ought to be "interesting." Very nice update.

Yeah, but he distracted Qui-Gon by accident by making the debris fall. That didn't happen before so there was no guarantee Qui-Gon would have gotten out of it. He really didn't have much of a choice afterwards, he had to do something. I'm usually not an Anakin supporter or anything, but I don't think he really did anything wrong this time

Date Posted: 8/1/07 1:36pm Subject: RE: Threads of the Past (JA, time travel - Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Anakin) - Ch 4, Update 8/1
I completely agree with your take on how Obi-wan wouldn't want to burden Anakin with the knowledge of how he felt and struggled trying to shield his padawan to the max.
This was my favorite chapter so far, it marks the beginning of their interference and interaction with the past and some things now will have to deviate from cannon. Since maybe Obi-Wan won't try to blow himself up then Jinn might not take him as his apprentice, and the presence of another master will likely lead him to act differently as well.

I loved Ani's reaction to finding out his master had been a slave for a short time, and how Obi-wan assuaged his worries about it. They do make a great pair!

“You destroyed everything I loved,” Xanatos accused. The fallen Jedi’s saber came down, Anakin tensing as the blade slid past Qui-Gon’s shoulder and singed his tunic. “You destroyed me that day, Qui-Gon. Yet I was reborn. Stronger, wiser. I have surpassed you.”
Now that I think about it this sounds remarkably like Anakin turned Vader, who blames his master for destroying his life as well. That made me quite sad for the future.


“I hope he will forgive for saving Master Jinn’s life,” Anakin answered.

Which if it wasn't for him would not have been in danger in the first place.

Your Jinn is perfect! the right misture of humor and seriousness, and his interaction with Ani was very cute, but the comm-call with Obi-wan *very* nice... I could just imagine him biting back a curse when his former master replied instead of his apprentice. Him almost forgetting to add the Jinn to the master was the perfect touch!


“My master is going to kill me,” he mumbled.

“Though I know many masters who have felt like it, I have never heard of one actually murdering his own apprentice. The Council frowns on it,”

Loved this sentence....

“I don’t know why you are here, but I could certainly use the help of a fellow Jedi. An initiate who accompanied me to Bandomeer is missing.”

Would Obi-Wan still be called an initiate if he was handed into the care of the agri-corps already? Wouldn't he be a former initiate or something? He is not connected to the Jedi anymore by any but the most tenuous lines... or is he an initiate because he still has a few days left before his birthday?

“There is a dock not far from your location. You should have seen it on your way to the mine. I will meet you there.”
If Qui-Gon doesn't go to the platform to rescue Obi-wan then how does the boy get out of there?
And what Name will Obi-Wan give? he can't lie can he? and going with Ben would be too cliche!

This was truly BRILLIANT!
I was laughing very loudly quite a few times reading this.

Anakin, you clumsy little fool! What do you think you are doing, knocking things over like that?! tongue

LOVE Qui-Gon here.

“My master is going to kill me,” he mumbled.

“Though I know many masters who have felt like it, I have never heard of one actually murdering his own apprentice. The Council frowns on it,”
LOL - Oh, you think they do so? tongue (the Council) Now why would they do that tongue

Can't wait for more - my, this is going to be complicated beyond belief!

This chapter really was the best so far.

“You were always overconfident. You have gone too far this time.”

“No.” Xanatos drew a lightsaber. The blade that lit up the darkness reminded Anakin too much of the Sith weapon that had claimed Qui-Gon’s life. “Now I have gone too far.”

“You destroyed everything I loved,” Xanatos accused. The fallen Jedi’s saber came down, Anakin tensing as the blade slid past Qui-Gon’s shoulder and singed his tunic. “You destroyed me that day, Qui-Gon. Yet I was reborn. Stronger, wiser. I have surpassed you.”


I could have sworn I have heard this before. I just can´t remember where... planet with fire and lava comes to mind...
I am a fan of history repeating itself (at least in stories). It hurts! And it´s fun. It´s exasperating.

Why am I not surprised that Anakin found a way to mess up? doh!

“My master is going to kill me,” he mumbled.

Most definitely... worried

“Though I know many masters who have felt like it, I have never heard of one actually murdering his own apprentice. The Council frowns on it,” Qui-Gon answered gently as he crouched down and began to poke around at the wound to Anakin’s shoulder *snort*


“Anakin, I sensed a disturbance and was just able to get away. Are you okay? Are you in danger? Where is Qui-Gon?”

“Qui-Gon is right here,” the Jedi master answered.

There was a long pause before Obi-Wan spoke again. “Master … Jinn.


I am anxious to see how Obi-Wan is going to explain this to Qui-Gon. This will get interesting...

This story is so much fun. It was only a matter of time till they were in trouble, especially because Anakin is his typical Anakin self...

Anakin allowed himself a smile. The fallen Jedi had no idea that he was fighting the Force’s Chosen One. “And your fighting is just as sloppy as I would have expected from a Temple reject,” he shot back.

Thanks for the notif, which was nice for a busy week.

Then he noticed two midnight blue eyes bearing into him. Actually, not him, but the braid he had tried unsuccessfully to hide. Damn the whole stupid braid thing! Whoever thought of it as a tradition must have never anticipated padawans actually having to hide what they were on occasion.
Hah! I've always thought about that, while reading the books!

“Very well.” Xanatos bowed curtly as he started to walk away. He abruptly turned back. “Tell me, does your master even attempt to keep that temper in check …”
I rather enjoyed the exchanges between Anakin and Xanatos.

But if he was honest with himself, perhaps the truth was that he didn’t want Anakin to see the crushed, defeated young boy that he once had been. Or maybe even, it was that the thought of trailing and being in such close contact to Qui-Gon might hurt.
Poor Obi-wan - was probably right to assume that. I could picture Anakin teasing him about being a pathetic little wimp XD

Oooh burn! I really like how Anakin is written in this one.
