Anakin couldn't feel his force connection with Obi Wan anymore. He felt empty inside, and he just couldn't grasp what had just happened. He picked his master up and made his way back to the ship, not knowing what to do. He limped a little as he walked to the ship, struggling under the weight of his Master. He had carried his master when he was unconscious many times before, but this time it was different. As he reached the ship, he was met with R2-D2, and even he sounded defeated. He placed his master on the bottom bunk, not knowing what to do after. He didn't even recall putting the coordinates in, or pitting the ship on autopilot. Or had it been R2? He didn't know anymore. He sent a message asking for medical assistance to be present when they landed, but he didn't sign off, so the receiver wouldn't know if it was him or Obi Wan who had sent it. Master...What am I going to tell Satine...and the council? He thought as he looked back at his master's still body.

Obi Wan didn't know where he was, or how he had gotten here. He recalled a duel between Darth Maul and his brother Savage and Anakin and him, but that felt like ages ago. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a very bright light. " Obi Wan, look over here" he heard a voice say. Obi Wan obeyed, but he only saw a shadow, the outline of a man. "Who are you?" Obi Wan asked. " And where are we?" the figure was silent for a moment and then he said " Patience my young padawan. I'll explain everything in a moment". When Obi Wan heard the figure say, "my young padawan", he knew who it was. " Master Qui Gon?" he asked. The figure answered " Yes Obi Wan, it's me".

Satine hadn't left the control room in two days. She had waited for another message or for some sort of sign, but there had been none. When they received the message to have medical assistance as soon as they landed, she knew something was wrong, especially since the person who sent the message didn't want anyone to know who it was, so now she and Padmé were stuck here, worrying every second of the day for an answer. Suddenly, their thoughts were dispersed as a young private came running into the room. He stood at the front and announced " We have received a signal that tells us that General Kenobi and General Skywalker's ship will land in 30-45 minutes. This gives us a short time to prepare for their arrival, so let's get moving!" Satine and Padmé looked at each other. 45 minutes and they would finally know what had really happened on Mandalore and who was injured.

Anakin couldn't believe it had been two days since it had happened, and now he was 45 minutes away from facing Satine's grief. All this time, and he still didn't know what he was going to say. He looked back over to Obi Wan's body, and he noticed that his wounds were not covered or taken properly cared of. For some reason, he couldn't bear to see his master that way, so he took bandages, bacta pads, and ointment and did the best he could. When he was done, Obi Wan had bandages on his head, his torso was completely wrapped, and so was his arm. His leg was also wrapped in bandages and his face had a few minor cuts and bruises. He knew there was no point, Obi Wan was...not with them anymore. He couldn't think about the other word. But something inside him told him to treat his wounds, and he followed that instinct, as their ship neared Coruscant and he neared the dreaded moment of truth.

"Master?" Obi Wan asked. "But how could it be? You're...Oh, force!" Obi Wan exclaimed as his situation dawned on him. " I'm dead?" he asked Qui Gon. "Partly" his master answered. "What?" Obi Wan asked. He looked at his master with disbelief. "How can one be partly dead?" Qui Gon looked at his padawan and smiled. " There's much that you still have to learn, Obi Wan" Qui Gon sighed. " But we don't have much time, you are slowly leaving your body at this moment, and with every second that passes you come closer to being actually dead" he said. " So I'm still alive?" Obi Wan asked. " Yes. In spirit you are. I have a short time to teach you how to go back to your body, and be physically alive again". Obi Wan looked at his master like he was crazy, but he thought about Satine and their children, and he knew he would never leave them like this. " Alright master, I'm ready to learn" Obi Wan said. Qui Gon smiled, knowing that his padawan would not fail.

Satine and Padmé stood on the landing pad. Despite of the thundering rain, they weren't alone. Master Yoda, Mace Windu, Master Plo Kloon and other Jedi Masters were also there. Among the others was Senator Bail Organa. Soldiers stood at attention, and first responders were at ready. They looked ready to treat something as minor as a slight graze to something major, like a death. Both women gazed out into the stormy sky, knowing that with each passing second their men would soon be with them, but they feared for them too, knowing that one wad hurt, and they waited, each minute seeming to go on forever.

"Concentrate Obi Wan!" Qui Gon said."You're running out of time!". Obi Wan concentrated as hard as he could, but he knew he wouldn't be able to do it. " I'm not as strong as you master!" Obi Wan said. " No. Obi Wan, you are stronger than I am, and I know you can do this" Qui Gon said. But Obi Wan was fading fast, and he knew that his strength would fail him. Qui Gon sensed the same thing and he knew that there was only one thing he could do. " Obi Wan, think of Satine!" Qui Gon said. " Think of your children!". Obi Wan did as he was told, and he thought about Satine, about his unborn children, and he found strength he didn't think he had. The last thing he heard his master say to him was " May the Force be with you Obi Wan! And remember I will always be with you!" and Obi Wan slipped into darkness and silence once again.

Sorry it took so long to write this chapter. I had to rewrite it all over again because it was deleted for some reason. I'll update soon! Thanks for understanding!
