Part 6 of Phantasm

Oct 31, 2006 23:15

Same warnings as before.  I don't own Star Wars ect...wish I did then I wouldn't be here, lol...

Padmé hurried to the Temple, fighting tears the whole way. She made it to the back entrance and entered the building. She stopped as the guard on duty turned to see her and moved toward her.

"Senator Amidala, can I help you? Is something wrong?"

"Obi-Wan. I must speak to Obi-Wan! Please, help me!"

The guard took her gently by the arm and took her further into the temple.

"Master Kenobi is with the Council in session, but I will inform them of your need as soon as...."

"No, I need to talk to him now! Please help me!"

The guard debated for a moment about interrupting Master Kenobi. The Senator did not look in the best of condition, mentally or physically. Then he decided that Master Kenobi would want to know about this.

"Senator, I am taking you to our infirmary. On our way I will contact the Council and ask Master Kenobi to meet us there."

Padmé looked somewhat relieved. "Thank you."

Meanwhile back at the Chancellor's office, Anakin debated whether cutting each limb off first or just to cut the bastard's penis off that would be more torture. He hit him again, attempting to bring Palpatine back to consciousness.

"Wake up, you sick bastard. You and I have a few things to get clear before I kill you."

Palpatine opened his eyes to lit lightsaber only inches from his neck. His eyes flashed yellow, he was angry, very angry and it was time that Skywalker understood his position.

"Get that lightsaber away from me boy or you will regret it," he snarled.

Anakin snorted.

"You heard me. I will give you to the count of one Anakin only because I have counted you as a friend all these years."

Anakin brought the saber a little closer, too close for Palpatine's taste and he decided he was tired of the little game.

"Don't say I didn't warn you," Palpatine said as he raised his hand and shot out lightning out of both hands.

Anakin wasn't prepared for Palpatine's attack and he stumbled back from the pain. He couldn't keep his grip on his lightsaber and dropped it. He fell to his knees and he felt his heart began to race uncontrollably.

Only when he saw Anakin unarmed on the floor did Palpatine stop his attack. He stood up and walked to where Anakin was lying in a fetal position. He cackled, he loved his little trick and it worked especially well on Jedi.

"Anakin, hasn't your Master explained to you that your lightsaber is your life and dropping it can cost you," he said as he kicked Anakin in the ribs.

Oh it felt so good to Palpatine to kick him. The Jedi's Chosen One was on his floor, withering in pain. Once he was through with Skywalker, he would be the Sith he was meant to be or he would be dead. Palpatine only had one use for him and Anakin would submit or he would see the ones that he loved tortured over and over and finally killed in front of him. The very thought of taking Padmé over and over made Palpatine's blood rush to his penis and he became hard at the thought.

"You stupid, pathetic Jedi, do you still think that you can protect Padmé? Don't you realize that it's only a matter of time before you see me take her?"

Palpatine kicked Anakin again.

The moaning and suffering coming from Anakin was pure pleasure for Palpatine. He had put up with the boy's whining all these years and it felt good to shut him up. Now he was going to teach him what pain truly was, only then would he become the Sith he was meant to be.

Palpatine knelt down on the floor beside Anakin and grabbed a handful of hair. “Now you are going to learn what pain means,” he said as he started to rip Anakin’s hair out of his head.

Palpatine never noticed Anakin's lightsaber had moved to his hand and never knew what hit him until the saber went all the way through his heart. Anakin was barely conscious but what Palpatine didn't know was that he had an extremely high-level pain threshold and it was the only thing that kept him from losing consciousness. That and his desperation to keep Padmé safe.

Through swollen eyes, he watched Palpatine fall backward with Anakin’s sword still inside of him. Anakin scooted away from Palpatine and after feeling the great darkness that was Palpatine rush away, only then did he allow himself to go into a healing trance.

In the Jedi Council chambers Obi-Wan had been contacted by the duty guard that the Senator of Naboo was in dire need of his presence. She had refused to leave and begged to see him and the guard became concerned about her state of mind and hurried to take her to the Temple infirmary. On the way there he contacted Master Kenobi who rushed to meet them there. He fought the urge to take a healer in with them, something about the way she felt in the Force concerned him and after consulting the Force, he had a healer come after all.

Obi-Wan and the healer met the guard and Padmé before they reached the infirmary. Obi-Wan allowed the healer to approach first and then followed in. He could see why a healer had been needed. Padmé was hunched over on the floor, she had been sick again. The medical droids were helping her back onto the examination table. What was worse was she was deathly pale and sweating profusely.

The healer rushed over to Padmé and laid her hands on the Senator’s stomach.

"What is wrong Padmé?" Obi-wan asked with great concern. He looked over to the healer.

"We have to get her to the ward immediately. I believe she has been poisoned," the healer stated.

Obi-Wan was stunned, who could have done this?

"Master Kenobi, can you help me carry her," the healer requested. "It would be quicker if we took her now instead of waiting for a hover stretcher to come up here."

"Yes." Obi-Wan stated with worry. He walked over to her and touched her face gently. "Padmé, I'm going to have to carry you. Is that alright?"

Padmé felt disconnected from her body, as if the very connection she had to life was slipping away. She felt it odd that she didn't feel sad about it; she just didn't feel much at the moment. Then she remembered why she was here, Anakin.

“Obi-Wan, you have to save him. The Chancellor, he was going to force me…to make me do things with him to keep our marriage a secret. If Anakin hadn’t gotten there, he would have…” she turned away and threw up again. "I think he poisoned me and he…” She shuddered at the thought of what would have happened if he had been able to complete his task.

The Chancellor poisoned her?

"He what?" Obi-Wan asked horrified. He felt no deceit coming from her but he did feel that she was in a weakened state. Obi-wan hurriedly picked her up and rushed down the hallway as fast as he could, the Force was telling him that she was in trouble and needed help as soon as possible.

"What about the Chancellor, Padmé? What else did he try to do?"

“He started to rape me. He had holos of Anakin and me. Anakin and I are married. When Anakin took me back to Naboo, we were married. The Chancellor apparently had images and information that this had occurred. He said he would ruin us if I didn’t do what he wanted. If Anakin hadn’t gotten there, he would have.” she turned her head away from Obi-Wan and began to cry.

"I'm so sorry," she began to sob.

"Shh, it's ok." Obi-Wan eased. "We are almost there, just hold on Padmé."

"Please, you have to check on Anakin, something is wrong, I know it…"

Her eyes rolled back in her head as she lost consciousness.

Obi-Wan's fast walk became an all out run. He had to save her. There was no way he would let her die if there was anything he could do about it. He made it to the infirmary in record time and laid her on an examining table. The healer that had been with him finally made it in and she immediately began to bark orders to the medical droid. Soon IVs were inserted and Padmé was hooked up onto monitors.

“Master Kenobi, I over heard the Senator's concern for Skywalker. I will be with the Senator so you can check on him,” the healer said she pulled a chair over to work on Padmé.

Obi-Wan took one more look at Padmé and decided to check on Anakin.

"Thank you, please comm me the moment there is any change," Obi-wan said as he started to leave. Suddenly the Force became blindly bright and all the darkness that had surrounded the Temple was gone.

It left all the Force users nearby almost breathless.

"What was that?" Obi-Wan asked but as he reached out with the Force, he felt Anakin and was concerned with the amount of pain he was picking up. He ran as fast as he could to where his former Padawan and friend was.

Don't you dare die on me Anakin? Do you hear me?
