The Jedi’s Gambit - Ch. 3

Pairing: Obi-Wan Kenobi x Cad Bane

Summary: The day Cad Bane turned himself in caused quite a stir at the Jedi Temple.

The way Luminara told it, he simply walked up the steps, approached the nearest Temple Guard, and said, “I surrender.” Toothy smirk and all.

Yes, Obi-Wan definitely had a bad feeling about this.

As Obi-Wan stared out the cockpit window into the blue-white blurry tendrils of hyperspace, he reflected on the irony of the situation. A cruel irony that he did not thank the Force for providing.

He had woken up for weeks, screaming out Satine’s name after dreaming of her death.

Maul, choking her in the air.

Maul, running her through with the Darksaber.

Obi-Wan, cradling her in his arms, helpless to do anything but watch as she told him she loved him, one last time.

And now, after Obi-Wan had seen a vision of Bane’s death, he was reminded of Satine again. Not just because of the parallels of his dreams, but because he had finally remembered where he had seen the quarry in his vision.

More years ago than he cared to remember, Satine, Obi-Wan, and Master Qui-Gon had been hunted by a rival faction of Mandalorians through one of those ore pits. Draboon was the only one world he knew of where lapis was mined in such vast quantities.

The memories of Satine were not so fresh that the pain was sharp, but his heart still ached. The knowledge that Bane might die where Obi-Wan had once tread as a Padawan was unsettling. Nothing that had happened in the past day made sense, and Obi-Wan having a Force vision did nothing to ease his nerves. Anakin and Ahsoka were the ones who had premonitions, not Obi-Wan.

Not since his youth, anyway.

Inevitably, as happened during the hours trapped on a ship in hyperspace, Obi-Wan’s thoughts turned to places he wished them not to go. He tried meditation, but once again, silence and peace was out of his reach. Instead, his normally well-honed mind decided to drudge up all the worries and concerns that had been let loose during the last day.

It was not lost on him that they all centered on the bounty hunter.

Obi-Wan couldn’t figure him out. Since the beginning, Bane had surprised him time and time again. Despite his twists and plots and murderous tendencies, Bane was quite capable of veering off course and acting in unexpected ways.

His rescue of Hardeen in the Box, for example. Certainly, Bane didn’t know it’d been Obi-Wan, but it’s not like Bane had been close companions with Hardeen either. They’d eventually reached a sort of mutual respect, but for Bane to go out of his way to save him? It didn’t make any sense.

If yer gonna kill him, do it like a man.

Obi-Wan couldn’t stop the shiver that traveled down his spine. He remembered how he’d sensed Bane’s anger, shining brightly through the Force. The bounty hunter’s intense hatred of Moralo Eval, the mastermind behind the Box, was only one part of the equation. Bane had seemed genuinely infuriated that Eval had nearly killed Hardeen, as if the act had been a personal affront to the bounty hunter himself.

And then, of course, there was the Delano. Bane had tricked him, and in such an unnecessary way that it made the Jedi question his real motives. Why had Bane visited Obi-wan in his quarters and gone through such an elaborate ruse? It would have been far simpler to wait in hiding while he cracked the necessary codes to override the ship’s navicomputer, and then grab the Sith artifact with no one the wiser. Obi-Wan and Anakin would have been far too late to stop him.

Instead… Bane had sought him out, seduced him, and then rendered Obi-Wan unconscious so he couldn’t follow. But why? It was one of the many questions Obi-Wan wanted answered when he caught up to Bane.

He would catch up to Bane; there was no doubt in his mind. And when he did, Bane would have much to answer for.

When Obi-Wan came out of hyperspace above the planet, he took the controls and guided the ship down to its surface. He didn’t bother heading to the spaceport—if his vision was correct, the prison transport would be sitting in the middle of an ore pit, bypassing the meager mining towns completely.

There was only one area of Draboon where the lapis mines were located, but Obi-Wan still felt an unusual amount of anxiety. Just because he might know where the vision would take place, he didn’t know when the events would unfold. It could be hours from now. Or it could have happened already. Bane could be currently buried at the bottom of a quarry, too late for Obi-Wan’s help.

He pushed the thoughts aside with great difficulty. Obi-Wan had to believe he wasn’t too late. He had to believe the Force wouldn’t have granted him this vision just to send him on a wild bantha-chase that ended in Bane’s death.

Obi-Wan’s chest tightened at the sight of the dark forests coming into view. It was impossible to see the planet and not think of Satine and his master, Qui-Gon. Both gone now. Dead at the hands of a raving monster.

He released his anxiety into the Force as he focused on the readout on his screens. There were many lapis mines on the planet, too many to check one by one, so Obi-Wan had to trust that his recognition of this particular mine had been correct.

For a brief moment, he wished he had Quinlan Vos with him. Not a sentiment that struck him often, but the man’s ability to track through the Force was legendary. Of course, Obi-Wan didn’t currently have any items that belonged to Bane, so Quinlan wouldn’t have been able to track the bounty hunter, anyway.

Could use yerself, he almost could hear the bounty hunter say. Seein’ as you belong to me.

Obi-Wan shook off the ridiculous thought. He didn’t belong to anyone. He was simply trying to stop an unlawful execution. That was all.

Sure, sure, the low, amused voice answered.

“I suppose we do this the old fashioned-way,” Obi-Wan said to himself with a sigh. As Dex’s ship descended into the atmosphere on autopilot, he closed his eyes and allowed his mind to expand, his consciousness reaching out toward the quarry where the vision had taken place.

Obi-Wan was startled to feel Bane’s presence almost immediately. It was strong, incredibly so, but something was also wrong with it. It pulsated with an aura that he could only describe as bleeding black-red, and over this connection Obi-Wan could feel the oily slick quality of the dark side of the Force.

As quickly as possible without crashing the ship, Obi-Wan landed far enough away from the mineral pit that he wouldn’t be scanned by the prison transport. Obi-Wan could see the ship in question, cradled within the bowels of the abandoned lapis pit.

As soon as his ship touched down, Obi-Wan rose from his seat and grabbed his helmet, placing it over his head as he hit the button to lower the docking ramp.

He had lost his Rako Hardeen outfit on Mandalore, but he had purchased another for such undercover missions. A scruffy old fur-lined vest, a jacket with a hood, and light armor plating over his groin and shoulders. The helmet was smaller and sleeker but undeniably had the Mandalorian aesthetic that he had grown partial to.

Basically, almost exactly like his old bounty hunter outfit, expect it now had a hood he could slip over his helmet. Obi-Wan found he liked that particular style and he didn’t see a point in changing it now. Besides… he couldn’t deny he would take a small amount of pleasure of seeing the surprise on Bane’s face as he recognized the familiarity of the outfit.

Of course, that was assuming the bounty hunter still lived.

Obi-Wan took off toward the pit at a run, mentally willing Bane to hold on and not say or do anything to get himself killed before the Jedi Master could pull him out of this mess.

Cad Bane hated to admit it, but he had actually come to like Rako Hardeen.

Ok, maybe like was too strong of a word. Appreciate or even respect was more accurate.

You definatly appreciate the way his behind looks in that uniform an unhelpful voice whispered at the back of his mind. Although, it wasnt exactly wrong Cad thought, as he snuck a glance at the human as they prepared for the mission to Naboo.

And it wasn't just the man’s looks that Cad found intriguing. He had an addimtaly attractive array of skills and sense honour that Cad hadn't seem in a bounty hunter since Jango Fett.

Drawn to him, Cad found himself walking over to where Rako was standing on the ship.

As though sensing he was coming, Rako turned around. Sweat still gleamed on his shaved head from their time in The Box. However his mannerisms were of someone who was calm and in control of their actions as though he hadn’t just been put through a trail of life and death. A stark contract to the rest of their associates. Cad briefly wondered if he'd ever been in situations similar to those before and why he was even bothering with the rest of the useless scum that dared to call themselves bounty hunters.

"Thanks for the save. I owe you one." Rako said once he’d made his way over, the tattoo on the side of his face curling with his smirk. Kriff.

"Damn right you do. And I don't forget my depts." Cad retorted, trying to ignore the feeling of want twisting in his stomach. He needed to keep focus on the job. Besides despite his slight teasing tone words weren't lies.

"What you doing with your cut?" He asked, trying to distract himself from the way Rako was fiddling with his new riffle.

The other man shrugged before leaning his back against the hull. His arms were folded across his chest as though he was a common thug, which his skills today showed that was definitely anything but.

"Buy something big and fancy.” Rako said in his deep voice. “What about you?"

Cad smirked.

"Getting the first ride outa here to a resort in the outer rim."

He deserved to be pampered after having to put up with the conditions inside the prison.

Rako nodded absentmindedly, probably thinking along the same lines.

"That's not a bad idea.” He mused, stroking his chin in a strangely familiar manner. “I might do that myself."

Suddenly Cad had a potentially dangerous yet tantalising idea.

"You could come with me if you want."

"What?" For the first time since they'd met Rako failed to look like a smug, in control bitch. Instead he stared at Cad in open shock. A shiver ran up his spine once he realised he had the power to make him speechless.

"I said." Cad smirked, strolling closer to the man until he had him caged against the hull. From this distance he could taste the musk of his salty human sweat and see the adrenaline fuelled rise and fall of his chest that nearly rivaled his tense breathes in The Box. It was delicious. “That you can join me."

After finally processing his proposition, Rako looked away in a flustered manner. However it was who was flattered or because he wasn’t their type or just wasn’t interested. This was something different and Cad didn’t like not knowing.

“I’ll... think about it.” Rako said eventually, meeting Cad’s haze again with a flirtatious smile that didn’t meet his eyes.

“Don’t think to long.” Cad said, stroking a thin blue finger along sharp curve of the man’s jaw.

He left without another word to make sure the pilot was actually doing their job, relishing the way watching the man shudder made him feel.

It hurt more than he would ever admit when it was revealed that Rako was actually Kenobi.
