Chapter 5: Sky
The prison was excatly what Alex remembered, however there was one new detail that he saw, that hadn't been here before. A single solitary tower that stood in the middle of the atrium. This overlooked the entire area as prisoners went about their daily lives as if nothing of the ordinary was going to happen. Oh how wrong they were to think that. Because if anything went wrong, it was all going according to whatever Sky had planned.
As he got nearer to the reception Alex felt a disturbance in the Force, faint like you couldn't notice it was there unless your senses were honed in. Something was wrong, something Alex hadn't planned for. He stopped and turned round to face Ahsoka "you sense that?" He asked her as if wanting to try out his theory. Ahsoka then honed in on her senses looking for the distrubance and nodded her head. "It's not to late to turn back"
"Are you kidding?" Ahsoka chuckled folding her arms "I wouldn't miss this for the world" when she said this Alex winced as he remembered her saying that in his vision, right before Sky murdered her. Time was not on his side. If he had hoped to rescue Ahsoka before any of this happened, well this was not going to work if he could talk some sense into his brother. "Are you sure you want to do this?" She took his hand as if to reassure him. But it wasn't working.
"Like I said" Alex said softly and he looked at Anakin and Darlene who were talking in hushed voices "no point in turning back" at this Ahsoka smiled and kissed him on the cheek, "thanks" he said grateful that Ahsoka was trying her best to stay calm "come on" Ahsoka followed him to the reception, and Alex spoke to the receptionist.
"Visiting someone?"
"Yes" Alex replied and Darlene and Anakin came forward to face the receptionist "Avatar Alex," he said and then he pointed to Ahsoka "Ahsoka Tano," he pointed to Darlene next "Darlene Turner and Anakin Skywalker" Anakin nodded at his friend and then focused on the security holograms of the prisoners. One in particular in which a tall boy of 18 years of age swag in his cell and was reading a novel.
He had dark black hair and golden eyes. The eyes were what gave Sky away, Anakin could never forget a face like that. He kept his attention on the hologram as Alex got the visitors approval. Something was very wrong in this place. And Ahsoka was going to find out what.
"The prisoner you wish to see is in Cell Block 1313" said the reception droid, "do you wish for directions?"
"No" Alex said smiling "I can handle it from there," the droid nodded at Alex and gave him a warning to be careful, Alex agreed and then walked away from the reception and down the hallway to Cell 1313. He went by so fast he almost didn't notice the black smoke that appeared so suddenly in the atrium, but he got the feeling that someone was watching him, and he knew excatly who it was.
When Team Avatar arrived at the cell they all took deep breaths and stepped inside. When they saw Sky, the boy chuckled. He threw away the novel and focused his attention on his old friends. "Well, well" he said clapping "this is a most surprising development" Sky's eyes rested on each and everyone of the group, "My traitorous brother," his eyes focused on Ahsoka "my soon to be victim" he chuckled at this as if knowing it was inevitable.
"Sky" Darlene said walking forward to him, but Alex stopped her and Sky smiled evilly.
"Don't" he said easing a finger at her "think I've forgotten about you" he took a deep breath and said coldly "my love" when Sky said this it was like a dagger went through Darlene's heart, and Ahsoka sympathised with her, if not for Darlene , Sky wouldn't be here "and how is our army?"
"You mean my army" Darlene growled "they all betrayed you after he" she nodded at Alex who smiled at her "beat you"
"Ah yes," Sky said "the Avatar," he looked at Alex and scowled at him, and the did the same to Ahsoka "and Ahsoka Tano, luckilly" he chuckled "this wretched cell dampens my ability to use the force, otherwise I would be choking the life out of you right now" he directed this at Ahsoka who looked away "my plan is almost coming to fruition brother."
"And what plan is that?"
"Why" Sky chuckled "the destruction of you of course," suddenly all of the lights went out in the cell, leaving all of Team Avatar stunned. "Right on cue" said Sky softly as the alarm went on, he then seised this chance to take Ahsoka hostage, which was alerted Alex that something was entirely wrong.
He was about to rich for his Lightsaber but the lights went on and suddenly he found Sky holding Ahsoka hostage. "Don't try anything" Sky growled, he was holding Ahsoka's lightsaber it was glowing green against her neck, and Alex saw the fear in her eyes "my dear brother you should never brought her along"
"You know, Ahsoka grunted whilst trying to break free of Sky's grip "he is going to stop you!"
"Not whilst I have you as my hostage," Sky walked forward as he knew his ally had taken out the power to his side of the cell block "come with me."
"Please" Alex said as he saw what Sky had planned "let her go" he looked at Ahsoka who was desperately trying to break free of Sky's grip.
"No" Sky growled and he stepped out of the cell with Ahsoka "I'll think I'll hold onto this one for a while" Sky chuckled "you know brother it was so easy planting that vision inside of your head. I might have as well sent you a postcard" he tapped some buttons on the cell doors looking Alex, Anakin and Darlene in the cell.
"Why are you doing this?" Ahsoka asked as they were away from the cell.
"It's simple my dear" Sky smiled "payback" he then shoeved Ahsoka in front of him and she walked forward "now move, try anything and I'll simple kill you right here" and with that, Sky smiled evilly as his new plan began to form in his head...
