Hi Guys. Just upping this so I can post tonight. Sorry about the very,very,VERY long delay. I will try to make tonights post nice and long.

 

Long stories is the name of your game JP!! HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

 

Obi-Wan gasped, "Anika Fenni?"

The woman considered the teen in front of her, "Yes, but the question is, who are you?"

"My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. I am a Jedi Apprentice."

"A Jedi?" Anika's hand covered her mouth, "There were two others here. One was infected by the chemical."

Bitterness crept into Obi-Wan's voice, "His name was Bruck Chun. He was my best friend. I am here to make sure this horrible chemical never harms anyone again. But, why are you here? You saved my life, so you are obviously not an enemy."

Tears welled up in Anika's eyes, "No, Obi-Wan. I am not an enemy. I do what I have to do to survive. It also is not just my life I need to protect."

Realization hit Obi-Wan, "Marcas."

"What do you know of my brother? I have not seen him for almost five years." Anika stopped to take a deep breath and then continued, "General Raff's assurance at loyalty. He murdered our father, he will murder one of us if we step out of line."

Obi-Wan wished Qui-Gon was here, the gentle Jedi would know what to say. Obi-Wan touched the girl's shoulder, "I'm sorry, Anika."

Anika looked Obi-Wan in the eye, "Well, I'm tired of living in fear. My father died doing what was right. It's time I start following his example."

 

Obi-Wan was grateful for the ally, but he also knew he had to be careful. He did not want anyone getting injured on his vendetta, "I appreciate your help, Anika, but before we do anything I need to know General Raff's next move. I don't want you or your brother getting hurt. I have a personal stake in this."

Anika's eyes were fiery as she stated, "As do I, Obi-Wan Kenobi. General Raff destroyed my family. He will not destroy my life any longer. I will be your inside help. Raff is planning something, something big. When I know, you will know." Then slipping a disc into his hand, she said, "This will help you get started. It is the components of the chemical weapon as well as an antidote that I have discovered. This will help your fellow Jedi."

Obi-Wan stared at the disc in his hand knowing the chance that the girl was taking, "Thank you, Anika. As soon as I get back to my ship I will send this immediatly to the temple. And as soon as we know what Raff is planning, the Senate will intervene."

Anika nodded, "I will show you a way out. You have given me hope, Obi-Wan. I just want my life back. I just want Thanills back the way it was."

 

up!

 

yeah!

 

Anika stood in her lab, she was a bundle of nerves. All was quiet in the building, so she assumed that Obi-Wan made it out without incident. The risk she was taking was a great one, but her father took risks too. If she and her brother were ever to have a normal life, risks had to be taken.

The door opened and the young scientist stiffened, she then busied herself at a computer terminal. She did not bother to turn around when the person who entered began to speak.

"Anika, there has been a disturbance this evening."

Anika took a deep breath and turned to face her captor, "Was there? I did not notice."

Raff studied the girl's eyes and Anika held his gaze, "Yes, you would not know anything about it, would you?"

Lying, Anika replied, "No, I have been in the lab all evening."

Raff took a step closer and took Anika's chin in his fingers, softly at first and then squeezing so it was uncomfortable, "Good, make sure you stay in this lab. Make sure you have nothing to do with this sabatour. You will be sorry if you do."

Letting go, Raff turned on his heal and left the lab leaving a very shaken Anika in his wake.

Back at his ship, Obi-Wan made contact with the temple for the first time since he left, Mace Windu was the one who took the call.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi, you had better explain yourself," Mace was not angry at the boy, but he was concerned.

Obi-Wan answered, "Master Windu, I am sending you information on the components on this chemical weapon as well as an antidote. I am also on to something, General Raff is planning something. I will continue what I'm doing and inform you when I know."

Mace studied the face of the young Jedi in the view screen before him, such determination shone in his eyes. Very much like his master when Qui-Gon was a young knight. Mace quietly asked, "Obi-Wan, are you certain that you know what you are doing?"

This surprised Obi-Wan, he had expected the council to demand that he leave immediatly, "Yes, Master. I do. I have to do this, the force is telling me to do this. I'm being cautious, I'm aware of my surroundings."

"Very well, Young Padawan. I give you my blessing to continue your work," Mace knew Qui-Gon was going to be furious with him, but this felt right, "What shall I tell your master, he has been very worried for you."

At the mention of the word Master, Obi-Wan's eyes began to fill and his voice shook as he replied, "Tell him that I love him, and tell him thank you for preparing me for this trial."

"Will do, Young One, May the force be with you."

 

Great post JP! UP!

 

wow nicely done!

 

Great post JP!!! I love that Mace gave Obi his blessing, he may have to answer to Qui for it, but it seems right.

Obis reaction at hearing his Masters name is very touching.

I look forward to seeing more!

 

"You told Obi-Wan, WHAT?" Qui-Gon screamed at the com screen, "How could you do that Mace, you know how dangerous this is, what could happen to him. You had no right to give him the council's blessing to stay!"

Mace answered very calmly, "Qui-Gon, he knows what he is doing."

Qui-Gon closed his eyes, "I am fully aware at how talented my student is, but I don't want to lose him. I'm going in."

"No, Qui-Gon, you can't," Mace ordered, "You need to stay where you are. Obi-Wan has done well, he sent us the components of the chemical as well as an antidote. He also said that General Raff was planning something, if you were to go in now, you would ruin all that he has worked for."

Qui-Gon was torn, he did not care what Mace or the council said, he wanted to run in there and get his apprentice of that force forsaken planet. He was about to argue, but Darick was able to reason with him.

"No, Qui, we must wait. If we rush in there, we will put Obi-Wan as well as inocent people at risk." Darick told his friend, "I know its hard, I would have done anything to save Bruck, but we are dealing with something that we don't understand, we need to be patient and allow the force to guide us."

Qui-Gon knew that his friends were right. He would have to wait, as hard as waiting would be.

 

Love the story! I just read the first couple of pages, but could you give me the addresses for the prequels to this story? I'd love to read them too!
