Corellia
Anakin and Ahsoka had finally arrived outside of Corellia's air space. The two had felt an anticipation leading up to grabbing Chet from the clutches of the Empire remnant. Although they hadn't known officially who was behind the plot Anakin had his suspicions of who it could be from the Empire's inner workings. Only a force sensitive would be interested in others of its kind and have any idea of how to train them in the dark side. Palpatine had a few secret apprentices and even though Anakin was reluctant to admit it he had started a couple force sentive trainings in the dark side. He hadnt seen nor heard of them in a long time as usually per custom in those days the failures as they were come to be called, were executed so that any deception from the Master/ Apprentice was kept away. None of them ever got to be on the same level as Ahsoka though neither in relationship nor wasn't at all worried about confronting whoever the trouble maker was, he was a Jedi and had his duty to protect and serve the galaxy once more.
Anakin pulled from his musing and decided to keep focus on the job ahead. He and Ahsoka needed to stay sharp as they felt a rushing presence alerting them to danger at the moment. They would be mindful as they hurried to the surface to get the last kid. As the shuttle descended down on the planet's surface Anakin decided that Alena would be placed in a locked room on the ship using a sleep sighrstiob on her young mind and the pair would place some food and toys should she wake up not that she would for the time it would take tinged the kid. Mara was placed in her same spot using force resistant binders for both her feet and wrists as a precautionary tactic. While Mara wasn't the official concern at the moment the two didn't want to take a chance with her escape.
Anakin Skywalker would stay back while Ahsoka Tano handled meeting with Chet's Father to pick up the boy for temple. As Ahsoka got to the home in a suburban district, the dirty blonde haired and blue eyed boy came to the door. Ahsoka looked at him carefully to see if he was alright when his father appeared. He looked pained and upset to give up his son to the Jedi, Ahsoka empathize with the man as best she could under the circumstances. After granting assurances to the gentleman that he would indeed see his son again and after aquainting herself with young Chet the two headed out to the ship to go. All was going according to plan and she would soon see why.
...
A few minutes after Ahsoka had departed to acquire Chet from his Father. Anakin had stayed behind to guard both the ship and see about the disturbance he had been sensing since their arrival. He followed the foreign signature to a small square nearby and discovered one of the inquisitors to be alive and well. The fourth brother to be exact was who he was facing and if he remembered well this one had a weakness in his fencing on his left side according to training files. Let's see if that serves to be continued Anakin thought.
As the Fourth brother stepped out menacingly through the shadows behind the building he spoke to Anakin.
" Hand over the child Jedi "
" Or you'll do what Acolyte ? You'll run back to your master in shame is all that will happen this day"
The red eyed darksider moved slowly towards his target and Anakin anticipated each step. After igniting his blade he charged as the acolyte swung for his right leg and patrice each and every blow with ease.
" Is this the best the Empire can produce? Makes me so ashamed of the product your master produced he should have been trained better- maybe that's my fault though. "
The words only served to anger Anakin's opponent. The inquistor striked out wildly at Anakin's baiting with his rage burning with bright fury. Anakin was ready as he quickly disarmed him and held a blade at his neck in under three standard minutes. As he started to let the inquistor to go he yelled towards Anakin that he would stop at nothing to finish his job and his Master would get her revenge on the alliance and New Republic. Her, Anakin thought well yhar narrowed down alot of possiblities but still not as many as he would have liked. Force senstive Females were now what he had to look into. As the inquisitor spoke the last line Anakin finished the blow and ended his life; Better to end this than head to more trouble that tho one could cause. He would bide his time in looking for the mastermind of this plot. As the lifeless body hung there Anakin went on his way to greet thr youngling and Ahsoka at the ship. The sun was already beginning to go down on the planet.
...
" I see that you two had no problems to deal with. " Anakin spoke as he walked into the cockpit.
" Not really but I guess we have you to thank for that." Ahsoka chimed in. " Chet meet Master Skywalker he will be joining us in taking you to the temple young one. "
The boy looked up and smiled as he saw Anakin Skywalker, a hero he heard so much about from his parents during the clone wars. It was a surreal experience to Chet, this was one of his favorite Jedi for sure. The hero worship wasn't lost to Anakin as he had recognized the look many times over the years and as always he was taken aback for the love he received was too great to acknowledge. Anakin reached his hand out and gently shook th younglings hand and introduced himself .
" Hello Chet. I'm Anakin Skywalker I trust the journey back with my Apprentice wasn't too bad for you. She can be a bit of a handful at times." Ahsoka snorted. " Like your never one" she chimed back grinning playfully.
" Well Chet what are some things your looking forward to learning"
" Anything and Everything Master." Chet spoke with confidence.
Anakin Skywalker was pleased as he saw a fire in the kid. He was leaving his home but had a determined face set on his adventure. Skywalker could easily read the fear the boy tried to conceal and the bravery that Chet was broadcasting in the force was exemplary. It was hard for a five year old to leave his only home by he was determined to go all the way. His dad had instilled a strength in him at young age and as a Jedi that was needed.
" My dad taught me about the Jedi and how they were heroes in the clone wars long time ago. He told me about you and the battles you fought in .. and one day I'm going to be like you and save others too. " Chet bounced up and down eagerly telling his dream to Anakin. Ahsoka was pleased to see the enthusiasm the boy had and knew that would help in the coming days with his training. In some small ways Chet reminded Ahsoka of her Master with his determination and heart for others. Suddenly the two could sense a small set of feet heading to the cockpit and Chet as rushed up to greet her. Alena had been asleep the entire trip to Corellia and once Ahsoka and Chet came back to th ship the she unlocked the door so the youngling could get out when she awoke from her induced sleep. Alena was pleased to see another child and ran to play as the two quickly introduced themselves. As they headed off to bond and play, Anakin filled Ahsoka in in the details of his encounter.
" Well, at least that's one less lowlife we have to worry about." Ahsoka snipped
" I agree. Although I wish I got out more information from him."
" Dont worry Skyguy something will come up. We will find out whose behind all this. Now that we have the two kids and the other two teams are getting the rest we can head back to Coruscant to regroup and speak to the council. Maybe the others have done information and pieces to help out together and solve tho puzzle." Ahsoka breathed.
" I sure hope so Snips. But we will get to the bottom of all of this...I promise." Anakin said determined.
The two set course to head home to the temple with the children in tow.
...
Lady Lumiya say brooding in a corner, she could sense the inquistors failing at the targets that she sent out. She had so simple of a plan to execute but help was hard to find these days in order to avvonpish her vision it seemed. She had come to sense a very powerful presence in the force that rang out around Jade however. She knew full well that Mara was captive and it didn't concern her too much as she had already implemented the spy at work.
Jade, She sent to the assassin. Have you discovered where the Jedi are taking you too.
Not at the moment Mistress but the ship has landed on Corellia they have gotten the second child.I felt it's presence as soon as it go on board.
Very good Hand. I'll be looking to a full report on what was specified soon.

Lumiya had cut the connection. Soon and very soon she would have both children and detailed info on how to take out the republic from the inside out.
