"Hold your fire" "But sir!" "Hold your fire, Rex, there's nothing you can do!" Anakin shouted. He had to, or Bane would kill Ahsoka. He was aware that in doing so, he was likely condemning Rex, and all the others to death, as this could be the only way off the cruiser. The clones watched, dumbstruck, as their Jedi generals were shoved roughly onto the ship. The ramp came up and they left the hangar.
Anakin was left in the back with force-dulling binders securing his arms behind his back, while Ahsoka was taken with Cad Bane into the cockpit. "Just so you don't try anything, Jedi scum" Bane had said. He had had to gag her, as his amusement at the torrent of insults spouting from her mouth quickly wore off.
Bane contacted Count Dooku to update him on the situation. He gave Bane co-ordinates and instructed him to meet him there, where he would be paid for the holocron and the two Jedi.
When they docked in the hangar on the separatist cruiser, Bane dragged Ahsoka off the ship "I would highly recommend that you follow, Skywalker" he called back. Reluctantly, Anakin did so. Dooku himself, was there to meet them, along with a battalion of droids. "Young Skywalker, we meet again" Dooku smirked. Anakin scowled but did not reply. Dooku turned to Bane "My master will be most pleased" he said "You will be well paid for your services" he motioned to a droid who stepped forward and offered a briefcase to Bane. He took it, opened it to inspect the credits inside, before shoving Ahsoka in Dooku's direction and tipping his hat to him. "A pleasure doing business with you" he said. Then he boarded his ship and took off.
Anakin and Ahsoka were thrown into separate cells. Anakin began pacing. He had always hated being a prisoner. He hated it even when it was a part of the plan but especially, when it wasn't. He shouted to Ahsoka but got no reply. He hadn't expected one really, the walls were too thick. He could sense her presence close by though, so that was good. He could tell that she was just as restless as he was, she had the same impatience as he did.
Finally, Anakin sensed Dooku's approach. He passed by Anakin's cell though, which he thought was odd. Then, he entered Ahsoka's. His heart filled with dread as they dragged her off. He started yelling and pounding on the door. Dooku ignored him, although Anakin knew he could hear him. He felt frustrated and helpless. He blamed himself for this mess. Now, Dooku was taking Ahsoka away from him, and there was nothing he could do.
Here is the next chapter. Please review, I would love to hear what you think of it.
