My guess is that Xan is waiting and watching!   I wouldn't run very fast! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!

Even as his Master, Luminara was surprised at how well Obi-Wan handled himself. I liked that, along with the entire rescue. But I don't think that they'll get out as easily. Nice job, and well worth the wait.

I think Xan and a whole platoon of guards are going to be waiting for them. That was far too easy. Great post, Astro!

I can't believe I missed these posts. All I can say is: magnifique!
I'm very fond of your Luminara. I find it neat how you insinuate the Leitmotiv of how Luminara believes Obi-Wan doesn't need her anymore into the latest episode (seeing as how you introduced that concept during their training duel). I love watching your characters interact. You really seem to've nailed the characters' psyches, and you have a deft touch w/r/t chemistry.
I wish you luck in your upcoming year. And many thanks for continuing w/ this wonderful story.

Lurkalidth- [face_shocked] I'm continually amazed at your sophisticated and amazingly insightful replies...Thank you so much!
I've said it before, but you really should try your hand at writing....I can tell how eloquent you are...
Trust me, I didn't think I would write anything before I actually did and even now I'm not sure I'm that great at it but it's been an awesome ride anyway!
But, it's up to you, obviously...
Thanks again!
C3SoloP0- Thanks so much for reading!

How the hell did I get so far behind in this fic?!?
Is there a time warp around here cuz, apparently I'm back in april...
post 1
Ohh a joint mission...this is gunna be interesting...
I loved the interaction between Obi and LuLu as she just held him when he cried...
*hoping for much humble pie for the Jinn man*
post 2
Ooohhh nummy treats still alive...here's to hopin he's not evil...but then why would he have been dead? It's not like the pitt of acid would have existed here...
Obi's history with the Xan man?
Post 3
Oooh yummy...dark and tantalizing...I think I'm going to like your Xan. He'll make an excellent baddie, along with begone jinn...
I think I'm really going to like your Xan. He's everything I'd want a bad guy to be.
post 4
It was more than Ok!!! I loved the insite into Obi's head... It makes him more alive and more human. I loved that Lulu could still see right through him, just like any loving parent could. Do I think he was hanging on to long to his insecurites? Yes, but then all teenagers do.
Wonderful Astro!
post 5
Not really anything that needed to be commented on...I like the pacing of this story and am really enjoying it. It just flows really well.
Post 6
Way to go Jinn...never thinks about any possible reprecussions to not having a training bond removed...but to be fair to him( and force and everyone else knows I hate to do that) he probably never thought, "Hey, I wonder if I can still talk to Xan." But still, if he knew he was going to Teloxs, he might have at least thought to have his sheilds up... good going buckethead.
Wonderful Asto!
[/i]Post 7[/i]
Well at least Xan doesn't know what Jinn knows...
Hacker Obi...Me gusta mucho!
I hope that Jinn's march in to Xan's land doesn't get Lulu killed...but I'm afraid otherwise...
lol@ at others worrying about Lulu as well...
I understand where Obi is coming from, and that scares me...it's not everyday that the poor boy has to fear never seeing his master again.
Excellent chapter!
Post 8 (Sometime in July)
Looks like the readers aren't the only ones who have a bad feeling about this mission...
Awww...bonding moment. An excellent look at the special bond the two of them share. They made an excellent master and apprentice.
Post 9 7/14/03

Post 10 August
The foreboding is really thick around here today...

*is glad she has her 5 point harness on*
Post 11

Not the post! The post was excellent!
Latest post

How did I miss responding to this post for so long. Sorry. Well, bad Obi-Wan, disobeying his master. When the inevitable happens, maybe you should injure him too. I know it sounds like I'm just asking for more Obi-Torture, (and maybe I am, ) but from a plot point of view. First, it would give him more time just to "think" which will be hard on him, second, it would provide ample bonding time for Obi and the stuborn master. Post again soon please, I can't wait.

Well, better late than never, I suppose!
No ado at all, here goes!
AN IMPROMPTU BATTLE
Moving stealthily through the massive estate, the three Jedi were on their guard, each of their senses extended fully. They had been making their way unimpeded for several minutes when Qui-Gon suddenly threw his arm out, halting the other two. Turning slowly towards his fellow Jedi his voice was a hoarse whisper when he spoke.
“He’s here.”
He had hardly spoken the words when from a door up ahead that they had not even noticed the tall dark form of Xanatos deCrion emerged. Strolling almost casually towards them Xanatos was wearing his frigid smile and there was an icy anticipation in the dark blue eyes.
Before he had even reached the three Jedi, who were standing shoulder to shoulder, Obi-Wan’s comlink went off. As he had set it to silent mode the device made no sound but flashed with a red light. Checking it quickly and realizing that it was Bre’linn he sighed, torn between what he felt his part in this mission was and his duty to his master.
Feeling her padawan’s agitation Luminara turned towards her apprentice, a quizzical expression on her face. Obi-Wan locked eyes with his master.
“It’s Bre’linn,” he whispered.
Luminara nodded.
“Go, Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon and I can handle this.”
“Master-” Obi-Wan began, only to be cut off.
“I don’t have the patience or the time to debate this, Obi-Wan,” Luminara said, the tone in her voice brooking no argument.
Having no choice, Obi-Wan nodded, then made his way swiftly towards the nearest side hallway which he knew led to an exit. As soon as Obi-Wan could be sure that he would not be overheard, he activated his comlink once again.
“Bre’linn,” he said, his voice quiet despite his assurance of privacy.
“It’s about time,” came the exasperated reply.
Obi-Wan bit back an irritated retort and simply took a deep breath before replying.
“Where are you?”
“Well,” came the cultured but still obviously annoyed voice, “I’m outside of Xanatos’s complex trying not to get killed! I could use your help here, Obi-Wan.”
“What!?” Obi-Wan cried but there was no reply.
Heart racing, Obi-Wan used the tracking signal on Bre’linn’s comlink, as well as what little guidance he could obtain from the Force in his agitation, to find his way. Before long he had made his way outside of the massive complex into the sunny but cool Telosian afternoon.
What he found was utter and complete chaos.
Soon he had found Bre’linn and, in the few moments they had to spare within the next frenzied minutes, she explained her plan; a plan that was obviously, and much to the young Jedi’s chagrin, organized and executed completely without his knowledge.
“As soon as you had left, I explained the situation to some of the more well known and well respected leaders of the movement. Although they hadn’t spent much time around you, they all had developed a deep admiration for you and so it was not long before the decision was made to come to the aid of the Jedi whom we all felt had risked their lives in order to help our small band of rebels.” Obi-Wan could not help but notice the gleam in her eyes as she continued. “I can’t say that I did a whole lot to stop them. I wanted to be able to fight in the open, finally.”
"Why am I not surprised?" came the sardonic reply. After that there was no more time for words.
So it was that Obi-Wan swiftly became embroiled in a guerilla type battle between the rebels he, along with his master and Qui-Gon, had aided and Xanatos’s security force. Outside of Xanatos’s own estate he and Bre’linn stood, fighting back to back.
Bre’linn was deftly wielding her small but deadly blaster and Obi-Wan was deflecting blaster bolts expertly, his bright blue blade a blur as he moved. For some time it went on and neither side seemed to be gaining much ground, though the casualties were mounting on both sides.
Xanatos’s security were well trained and well armed but they, unlike the rebels, were not fighting for their lives, their homes, their families. It is a lesson frequently repeated in history; the small group that bands together in defense of their own homes when they have nothing left to lose will often times fight the fiercer. More often than not death and ruin is all that they will receive for their trouble. But sometimes, just sometimes, the resolve of the oppressed will prove the stronger and ultimately prevail. It just so happened that Obi-Wan was able to bear witness to one of those instances.
To his own amazement he realized that, gradually, the rebels were gaining the upper hand. Before long, though it seemed a very long time to the young Jedi whose mind was still inside the complex with his master and Qui-Gon, the security force had been overcome. Those who surrendered were quickly put under guard. Obi-Wan, though pleased at the outcome, was still anxious to get back to his master’s side.
“Bre’linn,” he said, “I have to get back. Do you have things under control here?”
She could see the distress gleaming in his blue gray eyes and did not need to ask what it concerned.
“Of course, Obi-Wan. Go. And thank you.”
With a fleeting smile of gratitude Obi-Wan turned back into the vast complex.
He could not suppress the fear and apprehension that grew within him as he wondered what he might find.
*********************************************
*sigh*
Well, I have to thank obi-ew for all her help once again and I hope that this one didn't suck...
Thanks, obi-ew, you're totally
