The prologue! So… this is my new story! I hope y'all enjoy it! I'm hoping to finish it by Christmas (you really never know when I'm going to be a lazy butt and be silent for weeks at a time…) BUT I promise I WILL finish this story! Don't you just hate it when there's some sort of evil cliffhanger and then you see that the person updated last in like 2009? Yeah…
I DON'T OWN STAR WARS: GEORGE LUCAS DOES…sadly. *sniffle*
Obiwan was slumped over in the co-pilot's chair next to his former Padawan.
He and Anakin had been sent to Naboo to help and settle a political argument. Anakin was not as eager as he usually was to go on a mission...nor was Obiwan for that fact.
After a long week of mental exhaustion from constant political debates, they were finally on our way back to Coruscant and the Jedi Temple.
"Tired, Master?" Anakin asked, grinning impishly at him.
"Mmm," was all Obiwan could muster to say at the moment. "I'm getting thoroughly exhausted of arguing with stubborn politicians."
"Getting thoroughly exhausted? I'm definitely already there. We've been sent on five missions like this past one in the last six months. If I never had to argue with another politician in my life, I would be beyond happy."
"Well, I don't blame you, Anakin." Obiwan grinned.
"We'll reach Coruscant in eight hours." Anakin informed his tired Master. "You can go rest, Master. I'll be fine here."
Obiwan sighed deeply through his nose. "Thank you, but this chair is actually quite comfortable-"
"And the walk to the bunks is too far for an old man?" Anakin cut in.
Obiwan glared at the man, before a smile slowly grew on his face. "It is a long way off."
He settled even further into the plush co-pilot's chair. It really wasn't that comfortable, but the walk to the bunks in the back of the ship seemed like an extremely long walk to him at the moment, and he was about to fall asleep anyway.
Obiwan finally closed my eyes and drifted off into sweet, dreamless slumber.
...
He was sadly awoken all too soon by Anakin urgently shaking him awake.
"Obiwan! The main booster shut off and none of the controls are working! I can't control the ship at all!" He cried frantically.
"Where's the nearest planet we can land on?" Obiwan asked, his brain waking up immediately.
"There's one coming up but I've never heard of it. K...Kai...I'm not trying to pronounce that." Anakin stated.
"We're running low on fuel, too." Obiwan commented while checking all of the monitors. "We'll just have to land there and hope for the best."
Anakin grabbed the wheel and tried to get some sort of control while Obiwan was still looked at the maps.
"Master...you might want to strap in." Anakin warned him.
Obiwan looked up and saw that he was right. The planet surface was getting close...too close. Auburn flames were starting to catch on the edge of the ship as they became a comet in the atmosphere.
They strapped in and braced themselves for the worst. The last thing Obiwan remember before his sight went black was the rock-filled landscape hurtling towards them.
So, very short, but it's only the prologue sooooooooo… it'll get better soon! I promise :)
