002 ☆ nightmare!video/action in Traverse Town

[At first, the dream didn't start off any differently. Ever since he'd been told about the fate of the Jedi Order and how the Sith ruled the galaxy, Obi-Wan has been plagued with terrible dreams. This one would be no different; he'd wake up in cold sweat and meditate on what he saw. Or so he thought. He runs through the corridors of the Jedi Temple at top speed. It's dark, utterly silent, and not even the sound of speeders zooming past outside breaches the walls. Lifeless. He reaches the top, urgent and deeply unsettled. Something doesn't feel right. Every alarm in the back of his mind is going off, but he barrels through the door.

The similarities end there.

Before, the Jedi Council room had been empty. It had only ever been occupied by a black-hooded figure, face obscured by shadow, with a red lightsaber in hand. A Sith. No, Darth Vader-- that terrible being that started all of this. This time, when Obi-Wan barges through those doors, he's held back by an impenetrable Force barrier. The Jedi Council is seated on the other side, with Qui-Gon and little Anakin in the middle. He vaguely wonders why he can't get through-- and then the roof begins to disintegrate. Why don't they notice? His breathing quickens.

Out of nowhere, that Sith rains down from the open sky, massacring the Jedi Council, the boy, Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan screams, trying to break through the barrier with everything in his mind and body, but to no avail. Not until the Sith finally turns to him, standing among the fallen bodies with a laugh with as much bite and iciness as a snowstorm, that the barrier finally diminishes.]

You're next, Jedi, along with this entire galaxy!

[In spite of all of his training, Obi-Wan can't quell the feeling of utter fury and pain ripping through his heart and he lets it propel him forward. Lightsaber drawn, he clashes mightily with the Sith, the blades crackling and sizzling furiously. The bodies around them vanish into dust, leaving the council room as their battleground as they spin and slash and flip around the room.

His opponent is powerful, and all it takes it one small mistake to give him an opening. An invisible vice-like grip is suddenly around Obi-Wan's throat, lifting him into the air. His only saving grace, at the moment, is his own will fighting against the Sith's.

It can't end this way-- he won't let it.]

[It's the fact that he's fought for his galaxy that calls her attention sharply to his struggle. She calls out for whatever little good it will do, now that she has such direct and bitter experience:]

They're illusions. Focus your mind!

[All she can do, like this, is encourage him, and so she does.]

You can make a difference. Everything you do, everyone you protect, everything you fight for, all of that shapes everything around you.

Giving up makes a difference, too - you'll lose those important things! So fight this!

Thank you.

Don't be distracted! Aim for the source of the illusion instead. [she's implying the source may not be the Sith.]

[Well, first it was that stupid guy with the thunder. Not it's...this guy with the lightsaber.

Huh?]

Oh, not again...!

Jedi, it's not real! Search your feelings.

Will you help me?

NO WAY!

[Off pops his ear, turning into a black lightsaber-looking weapon! ~~No sound effects included, sadly.~~]

I am Oswald the Jedi! AND I'VE COME TO KICK YOUR BEHIND!!

[He starts to charge!...]

[...Though he momentarily stops and turns back to Starkiller.]

The...Jedis are the good guys, right?...Well, whateverrrRRRRAAAAAH!!!

[And back to charging!]

[...And being the smallest and lightest of the three, as well as the one running most idiotically towards the Sith, Oswald is the first to hit the wall and be sent flying.]

WAAAH!!!??

[He rolls into a wall, but quickly gets back to to try and charge again. Well. Maybe charge in a different direction. Charging head-on seemed to not work too well...]

[Oswald is so, so glad he is a rabbit. He manages - somehow - to hop over the attack, and after that he keeps hopping, swinging - well, more flailing - his ear-weapon around.]

Blast!

Duck! Duck!

[Well. There's really only one thing Oswald can do at this particular moment. And that would be to kneecap the Sith as hard as he can with his weapon.

Hopefully it works...]

Why am I ducking!?

Jedi, you okay? What about you?

I'm alright. It'll heal.

Behind you!

Yaaaaay!

Heheh. Take this...and this!!

[And he leaps on the battered Vader and begins to whack him with both ears.]

And THIS!!

You have a plan, Jedi?!

Thank you, my friends. I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.

[Chloé had watched these movies… once, he wasn’t the biggest fan and therefore did not know all of the names of the people on the council being destroyed, but that didn’t matter. This time is wasn’t just a movie, not just actors on a screen… ]

Be careful! This is an illusion but you can still be hurt by it! You have to find and destroy the duck!

How do I reach the duck? I believe it is the Sith, but he's very powerful...! We've hardly been able to scratch him...

You won’t be able to, especially not in a nightmare like this! Try to avoid him.

[Orders miraculously given without slipping into any kind of German to accidentally confuse the situation… as often happened with Chloé. ]

Tell me where you were before! Were you still in Traverse Town?
Maybe you could...

[Can't believe he is saying this. ]

... use 'the force' to smash the duck?

Of course...! This isn't about defeating him physically.

But-- how did you know?

I had forgotten what you were like in those last three movies…

[That aside however. ]

Shouldn’t you be more concerned with your current situation? Defeat the duck and then ask me strange questions.

Obi-Wan! It--It's not real. You must fight. You must not lose hope!

It feels real. I-- I don't intend to stop. I will fight. I'm certain it's that Sith-- the source of this terrible dream. He'll leave himself open; I'll strike then.

That is one of the most ridiculous outfits...

[Referring to Darth Vador. The boy doesn't seem that concerned. For one it doesn't really effect him no matter what happens to Obi Wan.. for another he knows these are dreams now]

[It's what Ciel is best at. Inspiring frustration and anger... apparently. Actually the entire scene is a bit bizarre to the Earl. Shafts of light.. acting as swords? He finds himself pondering whether those devices are anymore harmful than.. oh say a regular sword.]

How long are you going to just lie there?
