An alternative future

An alternative future

Naboo was just as Anakin and Obi-wan remembered it, beautiful lush gardens and lakes and ancient tall buildings. It had not changed a bit. You would not have believed that said planet was currently being controlled by Sidious and clones.

Whilst Leia Skywalker-Kenobi the queen of Naboo was being held against her will. You would not think such things by just looking at your surrounds alone, looks could be and were more likely then not miss leading.

Sirius commented “hells sith, you would not even begin to imagine that this beautiful peaceful looking planet was currently under the control of a vile and disfigured sith, and clones.”

Luke sighed “this is more likely then not, bound to be driving Leia insane, you know what she’s like when all her hard work goes down the shitter, and so wilfully at that.

I can just imagine the scenarios she is concocting inside of her head, where Sidious ends up being painfully fried alive.” The other three laughed and nodded knowingly, knowing how true Luke’s words were.

As they walked, constantly alert at all times Luke commented sadly “father I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but me and Sirius kind of snuck into the archives.”

Anakin replied with a disapproving edge to his voice that made both Luke and Sirius wince. “And what may I ask did you find, in a place where you had no right or clearness to be?”

Luke and Sirius cringed at this and Luke revealed “we discovered whilst in the archives that when we searched the planet’s index, Tattooine was not present on the chart, it was if the planet never even existed. Do you think perhaps Sidious had it blown up like he has had many other planets on the solar system?”

Both Anakin and Obi-wan frowned and shared an uneasy glance. They most certainly had not known about this, and it most certainly did not sit well with either Jedi master.

Just as they reached the palace they froze on the spot when they noticed the palace grounds and under ground garages where the ships and speeders were held, were swarming with clones and droids.

They immediately reached for their sabres and ignited them, blue and green flashing and humming dangerously, held firmly in their owners hands.

Clones and Droids instantly spotted them and begun to fire on them, Anakin and Obi-wan fought side by side, Anakin’s blue blade complimented Obi-wan’s green blade.

Luke and Sirius were in the same position; Luke held his blue bladed up in salute to Sirius who returned the gesture with his own deadly glowing green blade.

The battle to get inside the palace was on. The two Jedi Masters and the two senior padawan learners deflected shot after shot from blasters, back at their owners, at rapid speed, whilst in the process of making their way inside of the palace.

They fought along long and wide corridors. The queen and her guards could hear the sounds of several blasters going off, accompanied by a deadly humming sound, out side of the thrown room.

Captain Han Solo asked “what in all sith’s hell is going on out there, and what; is that loud humming sound?” Captain Solo and the rest of the guards that were being held hostage looked to the queen.

Said queen was grinning like a Cheshire cat, her hand maidens since she was a little girl, Dorme and Sabe nodded and smiled knowingly, they also knew who was out there and what was causing that humming sound.

Leia replied gleefully “that Captain Solo; happens to be my fathers and my brothers fighting most likely against clones and droids. And as for the humming sound, that’s the sure sound of several light sabres swinging and slashing through the air.”

Leia smiled “well, Captain Solo I did mention that I managed to contact someone I knew for reinforcement and back up before we were taken hostage completely.

I com-linked the Jedi temple in Coruscant and they sent my fathers who happen to be Jedi Masters and my twin brother Luke who I told you about.

And Sirius who is as good as my brother, he is like one to me. They are senior padawan learners. They are all here to help us against Sidious.”

Captain solo grinned and commented approvingly “you, your majesty sent out for reinforcements in the form of Jedi masters and padawan learners?”

Leia replied jokingly “why of course Captain, I do after all know many people and other life forms in high and very, very useful places.”

Suddenly the large double doors to the thrown room burst open violently. The queen and everyone else ducked and lay low on the floor, as blaster ammunition flew all over the place.

Anakin and Obi-wan with Luke and Sirius finished off the droids and clones out side in all hall way and started in on the few that were inside the thrown room.

In no time at all the droids and clones were destroyed, but they knew it was too much to hope that there weren’t more on the palace grounds on their way. Life was not that kind or fare.

The two Jedi masters and the two senior padawan learners turned just as; Leia and everyone else rose to their feet and brushed them selves off.

Anakin grumbled “this entire event on this planet is far too familiar for my liking.” Obi-wan added “its happening all over again, Sidious is making us relive everything that happened when Qui-Gon and Padme were alive.”

Leia caught onto their conversation and commented with dread “oh gods and he is using me to do just that. He has put me in the place of my mother, and you, Luke and Sirius in the place of Qui-Gon Jinn. Everyone here as a role to play; for example Captain Han Solo; he has replaced my mother’s own Captain.”

She added “I like my mother before me, who refused to sign any such treaty; I also refuse to sign any such thing. I will not hand over the lives of my people to that murdering bastard, I will not by any means sign the death warrants of my people, I will not.”

Anakin commented “well that’s what we’re here for. You can not remain here, you’re not safe. You shall return to the republic, where you will make a plea to the senate for a help, to grant the chancellor emergency powers.”

Leia was about to protest “don’t even think about arguing with me, you are the queen and ruler of this planet, but I was and still am your father Leia Skywalker-Kenobi.

You will bite down on your pride and see that I have your best interest at heart, just as your do that of your own people. They are dieing, I do not doubt, that is why you must gain the chancellor and the senates help and guidance.”

Leia sighed in defeat and nodded her consent to her fathers plan realising he was right and what he said was true and logical.

Han was in awe, he had just met a man who could influence his stubborn queen with very little effort. Of course he was her father, and she would not dare wilfully disobey her father.

He was in awe this was the infamous Anakin Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi. All the pilots spoke of them, Anakin Skywalker especially. They were known as the legendary team Skywalker and Kenobi.

Obi-wan spoke “I suggest you take the necessary things that you will require Leia and come along with us. I recommend your also bring along your Captain, he will be extra security that you are familiar and comfortable with.”

They all startled when they heard a loud explosion out side. Anakin quickly ran to the window and had his suspicious confirmed “well I sure as hell hope there is a decent ship around here, because our transportation has officially just met its maker.

Thank god I was not overly found of that ship, thank god it was not my own ship the Amidala; luckily it was in the garage for a servicing.” Obi-wan, Luke and Sirius and Leia laughed at this.

Anakin treated his ship like he would a very delicate woman. His ship was named after and in memory of Padme, Obi-wan had suggested it much to Anakin’s delight.

This in return making him fall in love with his husband even more so and deeper if that were even possible. Naturally Obi-wan had earned a big and loving kiss from his husband for such a thoughtful and loving gesture.

Han spoke up “ah so you see your ship as a woman, delicate and fine as a woman. Good man, a man after my own heart. The Millennium falcon is definitely my baby. She is available to travel to Coruscant whenever you need her.” Anakin raised an eye brow in question “the Millennium Falcon? Good name for a ship, I’ll give you that.”

Leia spoke up “I hope you’re not the type of man to brag and compare his ships size to that of another ship, Captain Solo.

I grew up riding on the Amidala, and she is close to being twice the size and speed of the Millennium Falcon. I’m not just saying this because the ship belongs to my father and was apart of my childhood, I’m stating a matter of fact Captain.”

Anakin shook his head as he gazed out side the window, he asked incredulously as he pointed out side to the flaming inferno that had been their transportation moments before “and you Obi-wan wondered why I’m reluctant to allow the Amidala any where near where that demented stinking deformed freak of nature is near by?”

Obi-wan sighed in defeat and held up his hands in surrender, knowing his husband had a very valid point. That the ship belonging to the temple and was now an inferno was a very fair example of what could and would have happened to the Amidala if it had not luckily been in the garage for its yearly servicing.

Han and the others had to stifle their laughter; it was just far too funny for words. It was evident to Han that Sidious had made a true and extremely dangerous enemy of the Jedi master, if said Jedi masters description of the Sith lord was anything to go by.
