Bubblezkunzyz: I have returned my readers!

Ahsoka: You've gone nuts.

Bubblezkunzyz: Maybe I have...can you-

Ahsoka: Already on it. Bubblezkunzyz doesn't own anything except Arikawen and some future characters that won't be revealed until later.

Bubblezkunzyz: Thank you, enjoy the story!


The Force of the Young Heart 2) Arikawen Skywalker

I sat up abruptly as the ship's alarm started blaring loudly. Droids ran passed my holding cell. One screamed, "we're under attack!" I grinned, I was finally going to be rescued.

"I wouldn't jump for joy yet, girl." I frowned and glared at Ventress.

"I'll get out of here, and when I do, I'll become a Jedi!"

She laughed and smirked. "It's too bad that you didn't join our side since we're going to win."

"Why haven't you killed me yet Ventress? I'm only going to be another Jedi when I'm free." I smirked back at Ventress, who frowned.

She looked away from me. "I was ordered not to. Plus, you're bait for the Senator, who is bait for Skywalker."

I flinched. That wasn't the first time I'd heard a plot to capture my brother, Anakin Skywalker. I'd heard many stories about him; he was famous everywhere and known by everyone. I, was a nobody. No one except the Senate knew that I existed, let alone that I was Anakin's little sister. Just then Ventress had a hologram of Count Dooku in front of me.

"So Little One, will you join us?" I glared at Dooku, standing up.

"I'd rather be tortured than join you," I hissed at the hologram.

Dooku sighed. "That's such a shame, but we can grant your wish." He turned to Ventress. "Make sure her wish is granted, Ventress."

Ventress smirked. "I'd be delighted Master." The hologram disappeared and Ventress opened my holding cell, placing me in blue lit handcuffs. I tried to break out of them only to tighten the cuffs around my wrists. Ventress grabbed my shoulder and led me to the control center, where there happened to be a magnetic containment field.

I looked away from Ventress. "Your wish will be granted soon enough, Little One." I was placed in the magnetic containment field and I was scared for the first time in my life. Even though I was afraid, I refused to show it.

"So, are you ready to be tortured?" I glared at Ventress and feebly tried to free myself. Ventress laughed. "It will be useless to try to free yourself from this, Little One. No one can free themselves from this, not even Jedi Masters." Ventress held up something and smirked, pressing a button. I felt electricity snake through my body, but I refused to scream. I shut my eyes tightly as Ventress pressed the button again.

When I opened my eyes, the doors to the room opened and three people were brought into the room in metal handcuffs. They were sat on the ground in front of me and Ventress. I gasped when Ventress spoke their names. "Obi-Wan Kenobi, Skywalker, and his little Padawan, how very nice of you to join us for this torture session."

Obi-Wan looked at me. "So that's her Ventress?" Anakin looked at me, along with his Padawan.

Ventress laughed and pressed the button again, but I didn't scream. "It seems the girl is too weak to even scream." Once the electrocution stopped, I opened my eyes.

"Too weak? I'll show you who's weak Ventress!" I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and once my eyes opened, glaring towards Ventress, my shackles that kept me in the magnetic containment field shattered and I dropped to the ground.

"How dare you!" she hissed charging at me with her lightsaber. I dodged her attack and kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying into the wall. I looked over to Obi-Wan, Anakin, and his Padawan. I took a pin out of my curly, waist-length, coal-black hair. My hair immediately fell from it's neat bun and fanned out around me. It even covered one of my green eyes, my left eye to be exact. I threw the pin to Obi-Wan who quickly undid his shackles along with Anakin's and his Padawan's. Ventress charged at me again, but Obi-Wan jumped in front of me, wielding his lightsaber.

Anakin jumped to his feet. "Ahsoka, take the girl to the hanger, we'll meet you there." Ahsoka nodded and grabbed my arm, leading me out of the room.

"Shouldn't we be helping them?" Ahsoka shook her head and we continued running.

"Someone has to get you to safety." I sighed as we appeared on the hanger and I gasped as I saw a Naboo ship next to the gunship.

I pulled my wrist free of Ahsoka's grasp. "Oh no, Senator Amidala is here!" Ahsoka pressed a button on her wrist.

"Master, Master!"

"Yes, Ahsoka?" Anakin's voice sounded impatient.

"The Senator is here!" she cried as I ran off to the door closest to the Naboo Ship. I could hear Ahsoka's cries to stop me, but I paid no mind. I had to reach Senator Amidala before the droids did. I did get to her before the droids did, many corridors later.

"Senator Amidala!" She turned and ran at me, hugging me.

"I was worried about you, Arikawen." I smiled and hugged her back, just as a couple of droids spotted us.

"Shoot them!" it cried. I grabbed the Senator's wrist and we made a run for it back the way I came, and we didn't stop until we reached the Hanger. Obi-Wan and Anakin had just gotten there as well.

"Padmé!" cried Anakin. I pushed her towards Anakin just as the droids entered the Hanger as well. Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padmé, and Ahsoka boarded the Gunship. I almost reached it when I heard one of the droids shoot at me. I fell over as the shot got my arm.

"Ani!" Anakin jumped off the gunship and picked me up before he jumped back onto the ship, me over his shoulder.

"Is she alright, Anakin?" asked Obi-Wan, observing me.

"No Master, she's been shot. We have to hurry back to Coruscant as soon as possible."

Padmé kneeled next to me on the floor of the Gunship once the doors closed. "You were very brave. You saved my life." I smiled back at her, before everything around me went black.


Bubblezkunzyz: I apologize if it's confusing, or too quickly paced.

Obi-Wan: I think you did a great job!

Bubblezkunzyz: Thank you, Obi-Wan. Please R&R to let me know if Obi-Wan is being honest!
