Star Wars, Before there was a Menace
" I think they hit you with something." comes a voice from a
corner. You realize that it belongs to Obi Wan Kenobi, a twelve year
old boy, who is a student at the Jedi Temple. You're a student there
also, but you've never spoken to him much.
" I can see that." you reply to his comment. You gingerly
touch the matted lump under your hair. " Do you know where we
are?"
" No I'm afraid afraid I don't" he replies. " They
knocked me out too, right after they hit you with the metal
pole."
You blush furiously. The day before the attack on the temple, Mace
Windu, a Jedi Master spent some time going over defence movements in
the battle stradegies class. When that metal pole came at you, you
instinctivly ducked down instead of slicing it with your lightsaber.
The pole caught you on the back of the head.
"You don't need to be imbarrassed," Obi Wan laughs, seeing
your expression." I wasn't paying attention in battle stradegies
class either!"
That made you feel better. You slowly get up and walk around the room
that you are imprisoned in. It is a small cell about 10' by 11'. There
is a square window high out of your reach. It is cold and wet. You
shiver. Then you notice a huge womp rat lurking in an opposite corner.
Your hand immediatly goes to your side.
" Oh, no they took our lightsabers too" you exclaim as your
hand rakes through empty air.
" I know. " Obi Wan replies," Don't worry though, that
womp rat looks pretty harmless.
You can't understand why Obi Wan is so calm. He is usually impatient
and headstrong, one of his bad qualities.
" What do you think happened at the temple?" you ask Obi Wan
who is sitting against a wall. You notice that his arm is twisted and
bloody.
" I don't exactly know," he says." My guess is that
they were after something." The 'they' that he's talking about is
several strange looking people that came to the temple several weeks
ago, claiming that they were healers. You didn't believe them one bit.
Then after time passed you heard a noice and you decided to
investigate. You found them in the star room, turning over boxes, and
looking under things. Then one of them saw you, and rushed at you with
his lightsaber. You shouted and swung out your lightsaber. Obi Wan
came running in and that's when you saw the metal pole coming at you.
" Yes, they definetly were looking for something." you
agree. " But what?"
Suddenly you feel a slight tremor. You look up at the small window
high above you. Obi Wan's head also jerks up. A tall figure stares
solemnly at you. A hooded cloak is wrapped around it, so you can't see
it's face.
The hooded figure brings out two lightsabers. It drops them down
through the window.
" You are in great danger." the figure hisses," Use
these wisely!" Then it dissapears as suddenly as it had come.
" I think we know what to do with these!" You grin at Obi
Wan as you toss him his lightsaber.
" Right." he replies quietly. You decide that either he's
in great pain because of his arm, or this is his clone all
expressionles and solemn.
You walk over to the window. How do you get out?
You lie on a cold hard floor. The back of your head is throbbing with
pain. You feel dizzy.
