Prologue

Author Notes: I do not own or pretend to own any concept, character, or any aspect dealing with the Star Wars franchise. Secondly, this is a common fanfiction concept, so if it is similar to someone else's, that is most likely a coincidence.

Set about a week after "The Wrong Jedi"

As Anakin's ship landed inside the Tedi temple hangar, he was lost deep in thought. His whole life seemed confusing since the recent departure of his padawan. He took a deep breath and flipped a switch to eject his trusty companion, R2. After a moment of contemplating thought, Anakin opened the canopy and climbed out.

Immediately he sensed a familiar presence. Turning around, he was greeted with the sight of his long-time friend and master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The bearded man walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder, guiding him back into the temple halls.

"I see you've made it back in one piece," Obi-Wan told him.

"It was nothing my troops couldn't handle, Master. Besides it was only a few Separatist ships."

"Well, you surely forgot to check in with the council after your little skirmish," he added, still annoyed with his former padawan's unusual behavior.

"Oh, I guess I was just distracted," he mumbled.

Obi-Wan frowned and looked his former apprentice in the eyes.

"Is this about Ahsoka?"

"No. I just forgot to do it, all right," Anakin snapped.

He wasn't convinced at all. With an exasperated sigh, he tried again.

"Anakin, please, I am only trying to help-"

"Well stop. I am tired of your attempts to make me feel better... they aren't working."

Obi-Wan sighed and they continued walking through the temple in silence. After what seemed like hours of endless hallways and lifts, they reached the hall of their apartments. Anakin stepped over to his to door and with the wave of his hand, opened it. Just as he was stepping over the threshold, a sharp pain jolted through his body and into his head. With an alarmed cry he fell to his knees with his hands clenching his temples. Obi-Wan saw this and rushed over. However, as quickly as the pain came, it left.

"What was that? Are you all right?" Obi-Wan asked worriedly.

"Ugh, it was nothing. Perhaps it was just a headache," he mumbled.

"No it wasn't. Don't try to lie to me," he scolded suspiciously.

"I'm fine master, really."

"Whatever. If you so insist… At least promise me that you'll do something about it if it keeps happening." Obi-Wan asked with a great deal of worry.

"Master, I am fine," Anakin snapped. He stood up and stumbled into his room, slamming the door behind him with the force. The second he reached his bedroom, he collapsed into his bed, falling into a deep sleep within seconds.

Obi-Wan stood outside Anakin's apartment with worry. He had a suspicion, no a feeling in the force, that something was definitely not normal. To make matters worse, that feeling surrounded his former padawan specifically. He had a strong sense of foreboding. Something was about to happen. Just as he was turning away, a blinding light came from within Anakin's room and blasted him to the ground. He forced himself up, gathered his senses, and tore into the apartment. What he found shocked him, or rather what he didn't find. Anakin had disappeared. Frantically, he searched under the bed, in the fresher, and even out on the balcony. His long-time friend was gone.

Anakin awoke in the sand. Slowly opening his eyes, recovering from the blinding sensation in the force, he immediately cursed. Above him lie two distinctive suns. Two, which he hoped to never see again. Out of every miserable planet in the galaxy, he was stuck on his own home planet. On Tatooine.

"Ugh… What the kriff was that?" he mumbled as he rubbed his forehead, somehow hoping to relieve the throbbing pain. Once he somewhat recovered, he heard an engine behind the rocks, increasing in volume at an alarming rate. He turned around only to have a large red speeder swoop around the corner and hit him directly in the chest. He was thrown back several feet, onto the ground, and effectively knocking him into unconsciousness.
