The shilian Speaker

chapter 9. Escape

By noil23sj

Obi-wan had started to meditate. He was trying to get a stronger connection to the force. But he couldn't before Anakin disturbed him.

"There has to be a way of this stupid ship." he growled angrily banging his fists angrily against the wall.

"For goodness sake Anakin, calm down."

"Why! If you haven't noticed we are prisoners on this ship. And I have no Idea where my Padawan is or how to get out of here."

Obi-wan stood up and joined Anakin. "First calm down. Now what do you suppose we do?"

A smirk etched on to Anakin's face "we break out of here."

The sounds if a battle droid outside their door echoed around the room. Anakin nodded. They both were hiding in the corner of the room. Out of the direct line of sight of the approaching droid.

A battle droids carrying a blaster entered the room. "Come out Jedi. The leader demands your-" before it could finish Anakin's knocked it over. Took its blaster and shot it, then at Obi-wan and his binders, causing them to fall to the ground.

"Let's go." Anakin stated. They both ran into the Corridor. No other droids were around.

"Anakin come on." obi wan yelled from further down the corridor

He ran after his master who was waiting behind another door. He raised a finger to his lips then pressed his ear against the grey door.

"Unit 354-72 where are you!" a battle droid opened the solid metal door and before it stood two Jedi.

It screeched and anakin shot it down, obi-wan banged his fist against the control panel and the door half closed. Enough to give them temporary cover. "Anakin, have you got any ideas!"

"Yeah run!" he shouted, whilst pounding his fist against the control panel causing the door to fully close. He could hear a very annoyed battle droid commander demanding fr the door to be opened. "What now!"

"Get to the nearest hanger."

"Not without Ahsoka"

"Anakin for once listen to me. If we try and find her, we will most likely be captured again. We can call the temple and get reinforce nets. Don't let you emotions cloud you decision." Obi-wan instructed to his former apprentice.

Anakin bowed his head, And after a deep breath nodded. "The east hanger of the ship is this way" he said in a plain tone.


They both continued down the corridors and turned the corner. Obi-wan waved his hand over a control panel and the door before them opened. And before them stood a squadron of battle droids. Just then the alarms sounded. The ship was on red alert. Today was not here lucky day.

"What now!" Obi-wan demanded to his former apprentice

"This!" Anakin replied. He whacked his fist into the control panel on the wall. The door slid shut. "Follow me" he shouted, he was having trouble hearing as a thunder of blaster shots sounded, the droids were firing at the doors. And they would be threw it soon.

"Through here Anakin" obi-wan had found a hatch leading off into the air vent system. He used the force to pull the panel down from the ceiling and to jump up in. Anakin followed him and replacing the panel behind him.

"Which way?" Anakin asked

"This way." he gestured down the small vent, and they both started to slowly crawl

The two of them had snuck threw the air vents. They were paused above a small room that they had heard voices coming from.

"The fugitives are no were to be found sir." a droid said.

"Scan the ship. Find them." Selth's voice echoes

He had started mumbling to himself and pacing back and forth when Anakin noticed their lightsabers on the table in front of him.

Without thinking he raised his hand and summed his lightsaber with the force.

"Anakin!" obi wan growled. "He could have seen." Selth had picked up an object and left the room. The pair of them jumped down and Obi-wan retrieved his lightsaber.

"Correct me if I'm wrong but is that Ahsoka's shoto?" Obi-wan questioned

"Anakin picked up the metal cylinder and clipped it to his belt. A dark look came over his face. He had a feeling in the force his padawan was in pain. And there was nothing he could do about it.

"Let's go." he said, before jumping up into the air vent. Obi-wan watched as his former apprentice rushed off, as usual


"Lily... Where are you?" Ahsoka groaned.

"I'm still here Ahsoka. Are you ok? And drink this" she passed a small container of water to Ahsoka. She was sitting up against the wall. Lily had crouched in front of her.

"Yeah mostly."

"That's good. That monster Selth showed you no mercy. I'm so sorry..." lily trailed off.

"No" Ahsoka replied sternly "This is not your fault. Earlier you mentioned the separatists want something from you, have, what is it?"

"I have the co-ordinates for a base the, separatists want it. The drakids know I hold this. I don't know how."

"Know how, what?" Ahsoka prompted

"I have known this information for six years. I never told anyone. How did these metal monster find out." lily mumbled the last part quietly to herself. "I wanted to tell someone. But I've got no family."

"Someone may have found out and tipped them off, maybe for some kind of pay-out. Also if it helps lily, I don't know my family either." Ahsoka said comfortingly.

Lily, who was staring at the floor. Looked up and smiled. As if to say thanks.


Six droids marched around the small hanger. Another dozen were tinkering on a small ship that stood lifeless in the middle. One droid was marching up the ramp into the ship.

"I hate this job" one wined

"roger roger. This job is lower than... Ahhh!" as a Blue light saber passes through his chest.

Anakin and obi-wan had travelled through the air vent system. They had jumped down from the roof of the metal hanger.

"Get on board and start the engines Anakin."

Anakin rushed aboard, slicing down a droid sitting who was in the pilot's seat on his way. He sat down and started pushing various buttons

"That's the wanted Jedi" a droid signalled. By now the alarms had stopped. But a droid had pulled a leaver that activated the blast doors of the hanger to start to close.

Anakin had started the Engines. Obi-wan had got rid of some of the remaining droids. But the heavy drag of the blast doors sliding close was echoing around the small hanger.

Obi wan ran up the small ramp and joined his former apprentice in the control room. He sat in the co-pilots seat.

The ship took off and the ramp slid into place. Anakin got the ship to go forward. He had to turn the ship on to its side to fit through the door. And just managed to fit it through before the doors clanged shut behind him. And they entered the desolate space around the separatist cruiser. He turned the ship towards the planet of Shili's atmosphere. And Anakin allowed himself a chance to breath.

But. he still had his padawan to go back and save.
