by noil23sj

"umm... Sir." a battle droid marched on to the bridge of the separatist cruiser. Selth was pacing back and forth, he was eager to hear about the prisoners.

"Commander Report. Have the prisoners been returned to their holding cells yet?"

"Sir the Jedi stole a shuttle and escaped."

" WHAT!" he shouted his voice full of anger.

"The Jedi…"

"I heard you, you insolent droid, where are they?"

"They have entered the planets upper atmosphere. Should I send a squadron to follow them?"

"No jam all communications, from there ship or from the planet."

"But sir..." before it could finish Selth had turned around and knocked the droid over and stamped on its head.

"Selth those droids are expensive" a hologram of count Dooku stood behind him. "What's happened to the Jed?i"

"The two humans escaped but I still have the pathetic youngling"

"You insolent fool. I will allow you one chance to redeem yourself. Give that information to me within one planetary rotation, or your life shall come to an abruptly short end."

"landing sequence engaged" Anakin grumbled

Obi-wan dimes barged the shuttle On to the familiar cliff edge. It was early morning on Shilli and the sun was just coming above the horizon. In the distance there was still smoke rising from Revenant. The plain of Tura grass was blowing in the wind. The tribal village in the valley look quiet and still

Anakin stood on the cliff edge staring at the smoking remains. Obi-wan stood by the side if the twilight. He watched at his old apprentice staring at the plain before them. He turned and started to walk up the ramp before him.

"we can't help them can we?" Anakin asked, causing obi-wan to stop where he was.

"Anakin we will go back to help those Togruta, soon but now we need to contact the temple." Anakin paused then followed Obi-wan up the ramp.

"In quite the predicament, you are master Kenobi" master Yoda said. Obi-wan had explained how they became separated from Ahsoka.
"I understand master Yoda, but we won't be able to go out here for much longer, if nothing we can't communicate with the local togruta, and this signal alone is hard to keep up, the separatist cruiser is interfering with out communications".

Mace Windu who was listening to the on-going conversation spoke up. "I will send a number of clones to help you. they will be brief that this girl, lily is to be found at all costs."

"As for the language problem I've got a solution. we've been able to make contact to master Ti. She will be happy to talk to the togruta just give us some time. ." Anakin and obi-wan nodded.

"Understood master Windu just." Anakin stopped the hologram before him flickered them died away.

Anakin and Obi-wan exchanges a glance."Master Yoda. Master Windu. Blast the separatist jammed our communication." Anakin growled.

"You try and re- establishes the connection, I'll be back soon."

Obi wan walked down the slope of the hill towards the trouble village. A Togruta walking with something slung over his shoulder, starred at the trespasser.

"Twui!" He shouted. The village elder, Marick appeared out of a tent. Obi-wan stopped. The elderly Togruta approached the Jedi.

"Master Jedi, what are you doing back so soon?" He gestured towards a tent where they both sat down.

"Elder we require your help. We went to the village but we had. Difficulties, we need to use your tribal land to land some ships."

Marick interrupted him "did you find that girl, lily?"

"I was about to say no." He then went on to explain how they had become captured and escape. The whole time he talked marick stared at him with desperation.

"So she's on board a ship, on her own."

"With the other Jed.i"

"You haven't got her!" He raised his voice and stood up.

"All I want you to do is come to my ship and talk to a fellow Jedi." Obi-wan aid calmly

"Never. Until you free lily."

"Please."

Before Marick could react a figure appeared at the opening to the tent. Anakin stood behind his fellow Jedi, and in his hand he held a holo-gram of master Shakk Ti. Marick look at the togruta and said "wanaka".

"Wanaka elder. It appears we need to talk."

Ahsoka I don't think this will work!" Lily questioned.

"We'll we better try. So I'll send the message you keep a look out." Ahsoka stated. Lily nodded. Ahsoka positioned herself in front of the door, then summoned the force. She focused and pushed with all her might and the metal door was blasted out from its placement. Ahsoka jumped out quickly crushed the two battle droids standing in the hall.

Ahsoka approached the communication panel on the wall. She quickly typed in some numbers and recorded a message. "This Ahsoka Tano, we are trapped on a separatist cruiser and need emergency help" she pressed the screen.

"Lily the message is sent to the Jedi temple. It gives..." She stopped speaking.

"My dear, I must commend you on your efforts." Selth mocked her. Lily was struggling against the droids vice like arms, with a blaster pointed at her head.

"Jedi please do me a favour and stay in your cell. Unlike your fellow counterparts you will not escape."

"They've escaped" Ahsoka said surprised.

"Yes, we're you listening to me? Why are you laughing, DO NOT mock me." He yelled

Ahsoka smirked. "You don't realise do you. They will be back for me." Selth look at Ahsoka with anger

"They will come back, so you better be afraid" a battle droid walked up behind Ahsoka and forced her and lily back into another cell, with a stronger door.

Selth looked at them and smirked lily "But Jedi, I'm counting on it."

Anakin and Obi-wan had left two Togruta taking in the tent. They both spoke in uninterrupted togruti. Anakin has started to pace back and forth; Obi-wan had tried to calm him down, but to no avail.

When a shout came erupted they both entered the tent.

"Master Ti. Is every think alright?" Obi-wan asked.

"No I'm afraid not. Marick, I will see to it as agreed." Marick nodded then stormed out of the tent. "There is an unexpected problem."

"What?" Anakin questioned cautiously

"Marick will not help us until we locate lily... it turns out, Lily, is Marick's daughter."
