"Hondo!" The Torgruta called out, "We have friends from the Republic who have come to visit us."
The Weequay pirate walked forward, gun holstered on his belt.
"Hondo." Anakin growled, he did not like this pirate at all.
"Ah, Jedi Skywalker, what a pleasure to have you aboard my ship." Honda said cheerfully, seemingly not worried about the fact that there were clones and a Jedi currently in his hangar.
The Torgruta had stepped back and was now observing them with a predator's eye. Her eyes no longer the soft baby blue Anakin remembered, but cold, frozen ice.
"We didn't come here by choice Hondo." Anakin said. "You caught us in a tractor beam and dragged us here to your ship."
Hondo chuckled "You forget the fact that we also jammed your Admiral's communications with another ship, he may have thought he was walking to another Republic ship, but he was actually talking to us." He turned to the Torgruta.
"Ahsoka." Anakin thought. The Torgruta was Ahsoka.
"Tano!" Hondo called out, "Get them in a cell, separate the clones and the Jedi. And make sure the Jedi is secure this time, and then you're off for the day."
The tor- Ahsoka, walked in front of them again. She pulled out her blaster and switched it to stun, a few of the other pirates did the same and in an instant, they fired. Anakin didn't have time to reach for his lightsaber, nor did the clones have time to fire their blasters. They were all knocked out within seconds.
Anakin groaned as he regained consciousness.
'Where am I?' He pondered, then his memories caught up with him. The pirates and being captured.
He groaned again, this time in frustration. He and the clones were now the pirates' captives. Anakin pulled at his bonds, well, his hands were handcuffed together. He knew that there was at least a Force-dampening cuff on him, he couldn't feel the Force, well, he was used to that by now. It seemed like he would get captured every other week.
The cell door opened and a mangy looking pirate came in. It wasn't anyone that he recognized from his last 'visit', if you even call it that to Florrum. The pirate didn't say anything. He only grabbed Anakin and hauled him to his feet and pretty much dragged him outside the cell and to the hallway.
Anakin tried to fight back, it wasn't easy to get him to stand up and outside the cell, but eventually he lost. The pirate pulled him to another part of the ship where Hondo and Ahsoka were waiting for him. Ahsoka looked different, she was wearing a mask over her face and a sleek black body suit.
The pirate threw him into a blue energy field that held him in place.
"Anakin Skywalker, welcome to my humble, pleasant home. How has your visit been so far?" Hondo asked once Anakin was secure.
Anakin didn't say anything, he merely glared at Hondo, who didn't seem to notice. "Now tell me, how has life been in the war? I've heard things are escalating to a point where no one can tell who's winning."
"Why did you capture us Hondo? Why go through the trouble of intercepting a transmission and capturing us?" Anakin asked.
Hondo smirked, "For money, of course! Now, we are not bounty hunters, do not mistake us for them, no, no, no. But we do need credits and the Republic and Separaists will pay handsomely for you 'Hero with No Fear'."
"Even for money that seems like a little too much work for you Hondo." Anakin said, "I would think you aren't stupid enough to something that could get you in life imprisonment."
"Of course we aren't that dumb!" Hondo exclaimed, "But no one knows that us pirates were the ones to take you captive. For all your Republic knows, the Separaists attacked the other cruiser you were supposed to be on and have taken you as their prisoner. Why would anyone think that lowly pirates have you in their insignificant, puny ship?" Hondo laughed, "Sometimes, I think your Republic as a whole is not the smart one Skywalker."
Anakin gave Hondo a death stare. Hondo raised his hands up in mock surrender. "I'll be taking my leave now Skywalker." He nodded at Ahsoka, who had stayed silent throughout the whole exchange, something that Anakin didn't recognize in the torgruta when he first met her. "Do whatever you please with him." Hondo said.
The door opened and Hondo walked out, but not before saying "Au Revoir, Skywalker."
The door closed. The Torgruta walked forward and pressed a button on her helmet that retracted the mask part so Anakin could see her face.
"Hey Snips." Anakin said weakly, shocked at seeing his padawan's ( 'No, no, no, she is not your padawan, stop thinking of her as such' Anakin chided himself ) face again. Ahsoka walked around him in a complete circle before stopping in front of him once more.
"Skywalker," Ahsoka said sharply, "I thought you were smarter then this, why let yourself get captured?" She said in a mocking tone. Anakin only stared at her, not glaring but not just gazing, it was more of an analyzing look.
"We spent almost a week and a half non-stop fighting." Anakin declared, trying to defend his and his squadron's choices. "I think we can be excused for thinking that there was a cruiser, waiting or at least close by, to pick us up."
Ahsoka clicked her tongue "Well, that didn't get you very far now did it?"
Anakin decided to change the subject, "Where is my squadron?"
Ahsoka smirked, "They're safe, for now." She smiled, purposely showing off her predator teeth.
Anakin inwardly groaned, this was going to fun, and by fun he meant torture, physically and emotionally.
AN: And we done with the second chapter! Whoo! Sorry I've been missing. I should've put this up sooner but then I was like, I'll do it next week. I've pretty sure some of you have already figured out what' storing to happen, well, I'm trying to think of a plot twist. There's not really much to say, except HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL OF YOU! Merry Christmas, to all of you.
A note on Ahsoka's helmet, it's like the Seventh Sister's helmet in Star Wars Rebels, well, before she was killed anyway. Ahsoka outfit right now is based off the Seventh Sister. I guess I can say that this is an early Christmas gift to everyone. If you don't celebrate Chirstmas, um, Happy Kwanza! Happy Hanaka! And I'm very, very, very suuuuuuuuuuuuuupppppppeeeeerrrrr sorry if I didn't spell those correct. Anyway, Bye!
