The Jedi froze not wanting to have the Senator get hurt. Dark Night could tell that Malik was examining his options trying to find the one where no one would get hurt. Dark Night glanced at Elza, giving her some kind of signal and the two acted as one. Elza and Dark Night both pulled the blasters away from the Senator as one of the two people pulled the trigger and instead of it hitting the Senator it hit Dark Night in the side of her chest. Dark Night fell back onto the floor as Malik and Nathan arrested the two people with Krista releasing Annakia and Elza rushing to the side of Dark Night, who was lying there in immense pain. The hole wasn't near her heat at all, it was closer to her shoulder more than anything. Dark Night was slowly losing consciousness as Elza was trying to keep her awake. Dark Night kept trying to stay awake only to end up blacking out.

It had been a few hours since Dark Night had seen any light. When she finally began to open her eyes she saw Elza first.

"It's good to see you awake. I fixed you up with magic, so you should be fine. Also do you have a spell on you that causes you to heal automatically?" Dark Night sat up slowly to keep from making herself dizzy.

"Where am I?" She asked.

"Your in the Theed Palace." Annakia said as she stood up and walked over to the side of the bed Dark Night was in. "We're all glad to see you are alright."

Nathan walked into the room after sensing Dark Night waking up. "It's good to see you up. Don't worry those two have been escorted back to Coruscant to a nice new cell awaiting them."

"By who?" Dark Night asked.

"Chancellor Palpatine sent a couple of Jedi and police to take them back." Elza answered.

"Where is…" Before Dark Night could finish her sentence Krista did. "Malik?" Dark Night nodded her head in agreement then Nathan answered her question. "He's out on the balcony." Dark Night stood up slowly and headed out to the balcony and found Padme talking to Malik.

"I feel as if you have a wonderful Master." Padme told Malik.

"I should've been the one who was shot." Malik said as Dark Night walked up to Malik's right.

"But my job is to protect you and teach you." Dark Night said. Malik turned to look at his Master and then looked down. "But I shouldn't have rushed in." Malik said.

"All that means is that you need to learn patience. That is something I can teach you." Dark Night said.

"I will leave you two alone for a moment." Padme said as she walked back inside.

"This is really your home planet?" Malik asked.

"Yes." Dark Night replied.

"How can someone from a planet like this teach someone from a planet that is destroying itself?" Malik asked.

"Because I like the challenge."
