Across the Stars [Star Wars|Anakin Skywalker]

52

"Obi-Wan, we're receiving a transmission, and it's specifically calling for us." Natalia told Obi-Wan and Anakin, "What? Who is it?" Obi-Wan asked, "I don't know, it's a 2000 year old Jedi distress code." Natalia told them, "I say we check it out, it sounds interesting." Natalia said, Obi-Wan and Anakin shrugged. "Let's go, I'll tell Rex we'll rendezvous with him back at the star cruiser." Natalia said as she went to find Rex, she ended up running in to him in one of the halls. "Hey, I've been told to tell General Kenobi, General Skywalker, and I are leaving, we'll rendezvous with you back here." Natalia told him, "I'll remember that, General. Stay safe." Rex said, Natalia nodded and ran off to the hangar where Anakin and Obi-Wan were preparing a shuttle. "Ready to go?" Obi-Wan asked, Natalia nodded. "Let's go." She said excitedly. "Where did it come from anyway?" Anakin asked as the shuttle left the hangar. "It came from the Chrelythiumn system." Natalia said as she checked the datapad.

"Hm." Was all Anakin said, the shuttle exited hyperspace over a terrestial planet. "I'll tell Rex we're over the planet right now." Natalia said as she turned her comlink, "Rex, come in, Captain Rex!" Natalia yelled through her comlink, but she couldn't contact him. "It's a dead signal." Natalia sighed, "Let's get out of here, there's nothing here." Anakin said, Natalia nodded and tried to leave but all of a sudden the power was cut. "What?!" She yelled, "We're going down!" Natalia yelled. "Anakin and Obi-Wan gripped onto their seats tightly, "Brace yourselves!" Natalia screamed as extreme light filled their cockpit. Natalia tried to remain conscious but suddenly everything went dark.

Hours later the three woke up in the cockpit, Natalia jumped up and ran out of the shuttle, surprisingly the shuttle didn't even crash, it was like someone just gently placed it on the ground. "Guys! Wake up!" Natalia yelled, Obi-Wan and Anakin woke up and walked out of the shuttle and looked around. "This place is strange and unfamiliar." Natalia said to herself. "It's strangely radiant with the Force too." Obi-Wan added, Natalia nodded. "Who are you?" Anakin asked, Natalia and Obi-Wan looked at Anakin, who was turning around like he was looking for someone. "I'm not the one! What are you talking about?!" Anakin yelled at someone. "What?" Anakin asked, Natalia pointed at an angelic like human coming from the trees, "My name's Daughter, I'll take you to Father, but you must hurry before it gets dark." Daughter explained, the three Jedi looked at each other then back at Daughter. "Looks like we have no choice." Obi-Wan said, Natalia nodded. 

Natalia looked up at the sky as they walked on a cliff path, "It's beautiful here." Natalia admired the view, "Watch out!" Natalia yelled as a rock fell onto the path, she tackled Obi-Wan and watched as the rock separated all of them. "This was obviously the doing of my brother, wait here." Daughter told Anakin, "I'll follow you." Anakin insisted, "Obi-Wan and Natalia, go to the ship and contact help!" Anakin told the two, Obi-Wan and Natalia nodded and started heading back but were stopped by a boy. "That's obviously Son." Natalia whispered, "Is it true, your friend is the Chosen One?" Son asked, his eyes widened, but Natalia and Obi-Wan shrugged, "That's what my old Master told me." Obi-Wan said. Son gave Natalia an odd look and disappeared, "Why did he give me that look?" Natalia asked in disgust, but Obi-Wan shrugged. "We need to find shelter before we get killed by lightning." Obi-Wan yelled as they ran to find shelter. The two find a cave and spend the night in there. 

"Obi-Wan?" A voice whispered to Obi-Wan, "Obi-Wan?" The voice repeated a bit louder, Obi-Wan sat up and looked in the direction to see a silohuette of Qui-Gon. "Qui-Gon?" Obi-Wan whispered, clearly quite surprised. "This planet is a conduit for the Force, and the people who live on it are planning to test Anakin. This place will corrupt him if he is unable to attain balance within his soul." Qui-Gon warned before disappearing, Obi-Wan looked at the ground and back at Natalia, she was sitting up and her back was towards him, she was talking to someone as well, "Mother." She gasped, she grabbed her mothers hand and looked her in the eyes, "Natalia, you need to find a way out of there, now! You have no idea what they're going to do to you!" Her mother gasped, "What do you mean?" She asked, "If you stay with Anakin you'll never have a future! You need to leave him! You need to run away from him and the Order! Now!" Her mother yelled before disappearing, Natalia gasped and started at Obi-Wan, he didn't see any of it. "D-did you hear that?" Natalia stuttered, Obi-Wan just slowly shook his head.

"Let's go find Anakin." Natalia said, Obi-Wan nodded. The two walked out of the cave and were greeted by a sunny day. They walked up the familiar cliff path when they heard a screeching noise, "What was that?" Natalia whispered, but Obi-Wan shrugged. "Natalia look out!" Obi-Wan yelled, but it was too late, a dark bird like picked her up by the arms and flew away, close behind her was another one holding Obi-Wan.

They were soon flown to an arena, where Anakin was standing in the middle.

"My children have been instructed to kill your friends."
