Congratulations, You are Bonded!

• Summary: Finding a Sith Temple? For The Team, that sounds just like another Tuesday. Accidentally participating in an unknown ritual and ending up married? Well, that's a bit unusual even for them. Unfortunately for Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, that's exactly what happens during an otherwise completely ordinary mission.

Finding a Sith temple wasn't all that unusual by now for Anakin — he'd seen several already on all the worlds his missions took him to. What was unusual about this one, however, was the fact that it had two living beings inside. And they were performing some sort of a ritual right at this moment.

"What do you think they are trying to do?" Obi-Wan asked in a whisper. He was crouching low behind a convenient column and taking careful peeks every so often.

"How am I supposed to know? I am not a Sith," Anakin hissed back from his own hideout. "Maybe they are trying to raise some ancient evil spirit. Or to channel enough energy to become powerful overlords and enslave this planet or something."

Whatever their goal was, one thing was painfully clear: they called upon the Dark Side to achieve it. Force energy flowed around the stone altar in the center of the round chamber and two beings standing on the dais beside it — Zabrak and Nightsister, by the looks of them — in turbulent swirls. The atmosphere in the temple was heady, even the Force itself felt heavy and oppressive in this ancient place, pressing down on Anakin and sending shivers down his spine.

It didn't matter what exactly the ritual was about, he decided, it needed to be stopped.

He was just about to jump out and rush to the altar when Obi-Wan's hand shot out and caught him.

"Anakin, wait!"

He pulled Anakin behind the column with him and leaned in to murmur into his ear, "We should see how this plays out. Learn what we can. Let's watch."

Ah, Obi-Wan and his never-ending quest to become the nerdiest Jedi in the Order's history.

Anakin scoffed. What was there to learn anyway? Nightsister by now had placed an artifact atop the altar, and it was emanating vicious red light, thrumming with dark energy. Then she began binding her hand to Zabrak's with coils of thick red string.

It was as good a moment to attack as they were gonna get, so despite all of Obi-Wan's protests Anakin sprang to his feet and emerged from the column.

"Anakin!" Obi-Wan hissed, but it was too late.

With a low hum a line of bright blue light extended from Anakin's 'saber, illuminating their position and attracting attention of the pair. There was nothing to it now, so rather than continue to hide Obi-Wan chose to join him.

"Stay where you are," he commanded, rounding the column as well, lightsaber drawn but not ignited. He used his General Kenobi voice. "Take two steps away from the artifact and don't try any tricks," he added, slowly approaching the dais.

At his side, Anakin grinned, falling into steps with his former Master, grip on the lightsaber slack and careless, but Force senses on full alert.

"You may try some if you wanna fight. I for one wouldn't even mind it."

"When do you ever," Obi-Wan muttered, so low that Anakin barely heard him. It just made him grin wider.

Nightsister and Zabrak were watching them warily. They did not step away from the altar, but neither were they acting in any way hostile or suspicious. They just stood there, calmly, and waited.
