Judging by the sun it was early afternoon when their ship touched down on Korriban. The air was dry and cold. The entire world was eerily still, save for the three Jedi walking out of the ship and onto its surface. Master Windu had quickly picked one of the four remaining areas. He hadn’t explained his reasoning, but neither of the Jedi Knights questioned him.
Meleana pulled her robe tightly around her as a cold gust of wind hit. them. Never mind the overwhelming presence of the dark side, the cold dry climate was enough to make her hate the place. There were no visible signs of a tomb or other monument around them, but Master Windu was walking purposely towards something. He stopped suddenly and lifted his arms. The ground in front of him moved up a few feet. A small door had raised out of the ground, it opened at an odd angle. They’d have to climb in backwards to fit through, or risk dropping head first. With another wave of the Jedi Master’s hand the door opened, sending dirt flying into the wind as it did. “I’ll go first,” Obi-Wan volunteered. Master Windu stepped to the side and Obi-Wan lifted himself into the awkward space. “There’s a ladder,” he called from inside, “It seems stable. Can’t tell how far down it goes.” After a moment Master Windu motioned for Meleana to climb in. She did, assuming it was safe since they hadn’t heard anything else from Obi-Wan. Within thirty seconds of climbing all of the sunlight was gone. She could feel the space getting narrower, and it was already pitch black. She resisted the strong urge to call out to Obi-Wan to make sure he was alright. A light came from below her and she realized he must already be on the ground. She set her feet down on the ground and looked around. Obi-Wan had already taken a few steps into the stone chamber. He moved the glowrod in his left hand around the walls trying to make out the carvings. “What does it say?” Meleana asked stepping to his side. He shook his head, “Nothing I understand.” They turned when they heard Master Windu’s feet hit the ground. He lit his own glowrod and lead the party forwards without glancing at the chamber walls. Large stone doors were set in front of them. As they opened the exit became blocked. Meleana wondered what sort of defenses a Sith could put on a place that a Jedi couldn’t penetrate. Through the stone doors she had one of her answers. The chamber lead into a natural section of caves, in what must have at one point been an underground river. The Jedi would make their way through it, but it would take some time to find the right tunnels. Meleana spotted a rodent off to their right. It looked harmless, a little on the large side, but it was cute and round, not at all the sort of thing she’d expected to see on a Sith world. It opened its mouth to reveal large pointed teeth and hissed at her. That was more what she’d expected. She shrieked and both of the male Jedi drew their lightsabers. They scanned the cave at eye level then looked at her questioningly. “Darkside vermin,” she said pointing at where the rodent had been before her shouting had frightened it off. Neither of them looked pleased at her excuse. They turned their backs to her and continued on down the first, and largest tunnel. At the end of the path were three more, all blocked off with a large stone. Master Windu lifted his hand to move one, and seemed to be doing so with intense difficulty. He created an opening large enough for them to squeeze through and stopped. “The influence of the darkside is strong here, we should try not to use the force unless it is absolutely necessary.” He said and lead them into the tunnel. Meleana gave him a look similar to the one he’d given her about the rodent. Why would they be unable to use the force? She’d never heard anything about Jedi not being able to use the lightside of the force when the darkside was around. She looked expectantly at Obi-Wan before they crawled through the opening. He just shook his head. The next path was much narrower and seemed impossibly long. It snaked around, making it difficult for them to tell which direction they were going in. Meleana stopped as they passed another stone door, this one had a few large hieroglyphs on it. She pressed her ear against the door. What she’d thought at first to be water now sounded more like a human voice. “Master,” she said softly, “Do you hear that?” Obi-Wan and Mace retraced their steps to press their ears against the door. “I hear nothing, we should continue,” he gave Meleana an appraising glance and continued back on his way. Obi-Wan gave her a look of concern. “What did you hear?” “A voice,” she said quietly as they continued on. “Saying what?” “I’m not sure. It could have been water.” Meleana stopped a few meters down the tunnel, sure again that she heard something. This time it sounded like stone scraping behind them. She spun around just in time to see a flash of red smoke. She was flat on the floor before she could get a better look at it. The fall knocked the wind out of her. When she pulled herself back to her feet she saw Master Windu bend over Obi-Wan who was unconscious on the floor. “What was that?” Meleana asked in a low voice. Master Windu shook his head, “It passed before I could get a look at it. Did you see anything?” Meleana looked down at Obi-Wan, he appeared to be breathing. Given how calm Master Windu was being she saw no reason to panic. “It looked like red smoke, but I only saw it for a second. It could have been anything. I heard a scraping sound, maybe it was an animal?” Meleana mulled over how likely it was that Obi-Wan had been knocked out cold by an animal, which moved fast enough to avoid being seen by a Jedi Master. Then again, the animals on Korriban weren’t like animals on other worlds. Obi-Wan groaned as he started coming to. He opened his eyes slowly and looked around in confusion. He had an oddly glazed look in his eyes as he looked over the other Jedi in the small space. Meleana thought it looked as though he were sizing them up for a fight. “We should continue, help him to his feet,” Master Windu said. It made sense, since he was taking the lead and holding the light, that Meleana lug Obi-Wan around until he was feeling better. The Jedi Master started walking slowly forward and Meleana helped pull Obi-Wan to his feet. “You alright?” She asked putting her arm around his waist so she could steer him down the tunnel. He nodded, but didn’t say anything. He was still looking around as though he hadn’t a clue what was going on. She decided against asking him if he’d seen what hit him, he seemed too out of it to be able to give them any useful information. They walked in silence down the impossibly long corridor. Meleana felt a gentle tug on her long brown locks and gave her shoulder a side glance. Obi-Wan had had his arm wrapped around her shoulders for awhile, but he’d just begun toying with her hair. “You’re so soft,” he said in an odd tone. “Oh Force,” Meleana sighed. “Master,” she called to Mace, who was a few meters ahead of them. “I think we should stop and take a look at Jedi Kenobi.” “Has his condition worsened?” Mace asked turning to look at them. “No, but,” “We will keep going a little longer. I believe we are near this tunnels end.” Obi-Wan tickled her lips with her hair. “I’m fine.” The Jedi Master was right. A few minutes later they stepped into another chamber. This one wasn’t much larger than Meleana’s ship. On either side there was a steep drop. They could hear a slight trickle of water coming from the black depths. There were three more exits to this tunnel. Mace immediately began to study them. “Look up,” Obi-Wan whispered into Meleana’s ear. She glanced at the ceiling. Something was barely visible there. Meleana pulled out a glowstick and lit it, adding to the dim light enough to make out shapes on the ceiling. “Master,” she said and motioned upwards. Mace stared up at the ceiling for a long while before responding. “It’s a map. I recognize enough of the script to tell that, but its written in riddles.” Meleana hated riddles, but declaring that seemed counter productive, so she simply nodded. “We’ll need to copy it.” Meleana attempted to take a picture of it, but each one was more and more obscure. Strange shapes swirled in front of the map, making it impossible to read. She took picture after picture, looking at them only long enough to decide if they were clear. “We’ll have to draw out the symbols,” Meleana said pulling out her datapad. Mace looked at the ceiling covered in Sith script. He didn’t look pleased about the delay. “We could scan the surrounding tunnels Master, see if they contain any clues or obstacles we might clear while she’s working.” Obi-Wan detached from Meleana before he’d spoken, and now he was walking around her in circles confidently. Master Windu considered this a moment. Finally he looked at Meleana, who had already began to copy, mostly to avoid watching Obi-Wan, who was making her a little nauseous with all of his pacing. “I have a good feeling about the right corridor,” Obi-Wan said before Mace had agreed to his plan. When the Jedi Master still didn’t answer he added, “If you’d like I can stay and assist transcribing the Sith script.” Meleana thought it was a little rude that he kept referring to her in the third person. She was glad he was acting as though they didn’t have a prior relationship, but she didn’t think it would hurt things if he appeared to know her name. “We will go on ahead, assuming Jedi Ariadne has no objections.” Finally someone used her name, “No Master,” she said with a smile, “I’d like to say I’ve been worse places, but I’m not sure that would be entirely true. I will be fine here though.” Master Windu nodded and he and Obi-Wan soon disappeared into the tunnel on the right. Meleana was three quarters of the way though the huge amount of text when she heard footsteps headed in her direction. She was glad at first, until she realized it was only one pair of feet. Normally she’d be able to tell who it was before seeing them, but her connection to the force here was weak, and even what she could feel was muddled and confused by the darkside. Obi-Wan came through the tunnel. “Jedi Ariadne, how are you progressing?” Meleana arched her brow, something was definitely not right with him. “I’m almost done, another hour maybe. You two were gone a long time. Where’s Master Windu?” “We found something, he stayed behind to investigate, and sent me back to retrieve you,” Obi-Wan was pacing around her in tight circles again. Meleana moved to stand, but found herself held in place by Obi-Wan’s hands on her shoulder. “You haven’t finished yet,” he said in a harsh voice. When she began to write he went back to pacing. “How much of it do you understand?” “None,” Meleana said wondering why Obi-Wan would think she knew any Sith. “You’ve been slacking in your studies.” “Well that’s the understatement of the year,” Meleana started to relax again as she worked. She dismissed Obi-Wan’s odd behavior, assuming it was a combination of a head injury and the strange dark energies of Korriban. His hands twined through her hair again. The second her body tensed he gripped it firmly enough to hold her in place. She sat frozen in place waiting to see what would happen next. Not sure how she should respond. “Why do you flinch when I touch you?” He asked calmly. Meleana licked her lips, trying to think of what to say, “Because you’ve never done it before.” He yanked her head back to look into her eyes. She kept her face as impassive as possible and waited for him to answer. “Have you ever wanted me to?” He asked finally. Meleana swallowed hard, but made sure not one muscle in her body twitched. She looked at him appraisingly and smiled a little, “You’re sure Master Windu isn’t coming back anytime soon?” He nodded and she reached her hand up to caress the wrist that was tangled along with his hand in her hair. When he began to relax she gave him a come hither look and motioned to him with her free hand. He lowered his head towards her and she brought her free hand to cradle the back of his head. Before he got to close she slammed her head into his nose and bolted backwards. She grabbed her data pad as she shuffled along the floor. “Who are you?” Meleana asked she held her lightsaber with one hand and clumsily stuffed the datapad in the waistband of her pants. He winced and wiped the blood from bellow his nose. “I think the caves are getting to you Jedi Ariadne.” “Say my first name.” “We’re not on a first name basis.” Meleana ignited her lightsaber, “Who are you?” He smiled slowly at her, “Put away your toy. I’m not going to kill you. I’ll leave that to my mistress.” Meleana tensed when he took a step towards her and moved her lightsaber in front of her. “You won’t use it. Put it away before you hurt yourself.” Meleana thought that over. Could she kill Obi-Wan? Or any unarmed opponent for that matter? Was he waiting for her to let her guard down so he could strike her down? No, if he’d wanted her dead he would have killed her while she worked. He was telling the truth when he said he wouldn’t kill her. “Who is your Mistress?” Meleana asked not yet ready to put the blade away. He shook his head, “It doesn’t matter, you’ll never know her, but you’ll make an excellent vessel.” “I don’t think so. Think you are going to go back to wherever you came from. I am definitely not going to be anyone’s vessel.” “If you strike me down you’ll kill your friend. Put your blade away.” Meleana knew that was a terrible idea. The only think keeping him back was the threat of the lightsaber, but she knew she wouldn’t use it. Even if that thing hadn’t chosen to possess Obi-Wan, she couldn’t use her weapon on someone unarmed. Meleana put her blade away. She had other weapons after all. She wasn’t defenseless without it. As soon as she did he charged at her, which she’d expected. She reached out with the force to push him back, what she found was horrible. She screamed and crumpled to her knees. Horrible visions flashed through her mind. Voices in her head said terrible things, about her, the world. She felt suddenly overcome by despair and suffering. Somehow she managed to kick Obi-Wan’s legs out from under him. She needed to get away. She needed to find Master Windu. He grabbed her left ankle and wrenched it. Meleana cried out in pain and kicked him with her right leg. He didn’t let go, he twisted her ankle further just to the breaking point and stopped before it snapped. He released her leg and force pushed her back. She went sliding to the ravine, and stopped just before she went over. If he could use the force and she couldn’t this was a fight she was going to lose. Even if she had been willing to use her lightsaber. She realized what she had to do a second before it was to late and pushed back with her feet. Her body went tumbling into the ravine. Obi-Wan stopped her with the force and pulled her back towards him. He was standing at the edge, he would have been right over her if she hadn’t moved. He grabbed her by her belt and pulled her back onto the cave floor. He pulled her away from the ravine and shoved her back against the cave wall. He wrenched her utility belt from her. She watched it slide to the other end of the cave. If she could use the force getting it back would be simple. She was standing still, pinned between him and the cave wall, trying to think of what to do. She could fight, and lose. She could try something more cunning, and lose. In her experience the one with the force always won. She needed to get away. She was sure she could sustain her connection to the force long enough to survive the drop into the ravine, but it would hurt in more ways than one. She needed to distract him long enough to fall. That shouldn’t be too hard. But everything she could think of involved the force. His hand wrapped around her throat, just tightly enough to hold her in place. His nearness made her wonder if she could seduce her way out of this. It was a long shot, he’d have to be an idiot to fall for it, but he was a man who hadn’t had sex in thousands of years. She just needed to make herself convincing enough. She did her best to look like a lost little girl, tried to make tears come to her eyes, found that easier than she’d expected. “Please, I don’t want to die,” she sounded more pathetic than she ever had before. “I’ll do anything you want. I have many more uses than just a vessel for your Master.” He looked intrigued, which was a good sign she guessed. Meleana kissed him, the way his lips responded almost caused her to recoil. If she’d kissed him when he’d woken up she’d have known it wasn’t Obi-Wan. Perhaps it was the thousands of years without practice, but for whatever reason, this man was a terrible kisser. His hand moved from her throat to caress her breast. This was working better than she’d expected. Now she just needed him to move towards the ravine. She pushed him away gently. “Stand back, I want to undress for you,” he took a few paces back, “Further,” she said coyly, “If I need to impress you enough to keep me alive I thinks its best you get to drink in all of me.” He moved back until he was a few paces from the ravine, that was close enough. Now Meleana realized she’d just committed to jumping into a ravine naked and unarmed. Not her best plan. She tossed her robe off, hoping she’d tossed it hard enough for it to go over the opposite end of the ravine. It didn’t. She made a show of slowly stripping off all of her layers, each time hoping something, a sash, her pants, would tumble down into the depths. None of them did. She was to far to toss cloth without the force. When she was finally naked she stepped towards him and started to walk around him slowly. She stopped as close to the drop as she could. “Do you like what you see?” He nodded and she smiled, “Then it’s your turn. Meleana made a show of getting down on her knees, closing the distance between her and the cliff face. “I’ll just wait here for you,” she said with a wink. When he pulled up his shirt she tumbled back. She only had a few seconds, but they were enough. Now it was just a matter of surviving the landing.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
