Chapter 10: Recovery of the Lost Lightsabre
Anakin and Ahsoka piloted the Twilight back towards the place of Ahsoka's capture. The young Padawan shuddered at the memory of her capture. She kept a brave face for Anakin's sake. She didn't like to be classed as weak.
"You'll be fine, Snips," Anakin said trying to calm his Padawan's nerves.
Ahsoka smiled. He had called her by her pet name in a quite a while.
"Hey Sky Guy?" Ahsoka asked.
"Yeah?" Anakin looked up from the hologram map on the control panel.
"I wanted to thank you," Ahsoka said slowly.
"For what?" Anakin asked.
"For coming to save me; it took guts for you do that," Ahsoka said thankfully.
"If it was me out there, you'd rescue me, wouldn't you?" Anakin asked.
"Of course I would, considering all the times I've saved your hide," Ahsoka smirked.
Anakin scoffed. "That's not fair,"
"Yeah it is. Even Padmé would be siding with me," Ahsoka folded her arms defiantly.
"Don't bring my wife into this," Anakin scolded.
"Well it's true! You know Padmé hates most of your plans," Ahsoka said her voice getting louder.
Anakin remained silent knowing that she had a point.
"That's what I thought," Ahsoka was satisfied with Anakin's verbal defeat.
The rest of the trip was silent until they finally docked in the tiny cargo bay where they landed to rescue Ahsoka. They then met up with Plo Koon and Luminara.
"Masters," Anakin and Ahsoka said in unison as they bowed.
"Anakin, Ahsoka," the commanding Jedi replied in the same manner.
"We need to take a walk through of the crime scene so we can get a proper picture of what happened," Anakin explained.
"Very well, Skywalker. Since you were the one you insisted on rescuing Ahsoka then you will lead us through the crime scene," Plo Koon said.
"I will be honoured," Anakin said exchanging looks with Ahsoka before walking to the front of the small group.
"Wait, what about if we run into Ventress or her minions?" Ahsoka asked.
"We'll just have to be mindful of that, young one," Luminara said as Ahsoka walked beside her.
The small group of Jedi walked and one by one, Anakin reported his footsteps from the rescue.
"We got ambushed here," Anakin said finally stopping in the maze of corridors.
"You got ambushed here?" Ahsoka asked looking around.
"Yeah," Anakin said. "Doesn't look like a place to be ambushed does it?" It was question that only Ahsoka could answer.
"Not really. But anything can happen on these flagships, right, master?"
"Right!" Anakin smiled to himself. "I've never seen you be so tactical before Snips," he teased.
"I've always been tactical. You just haven't taken much notice," Ahsoka teased back.
Luminara and Plo exchanged worried looks. They had never experienced such playful nature between a master and an apprentice before. They had nothing to worry about of course, this was Anakin and Ahsoka in a regular situation.
Anakin led them all the way to where Ahsoka had been held captive.
"This was the cell I was held captive in," Ahsoka said allowing a sigh to escape her lips.
"And you lost your weapon when you attempted to escape?" Plo asked.
"Yes. When I returned to my cell I realised my weapon was missing," Ahsoka explained briefly not wanting to relive her terrifying experience.
Her superiors nodded solemnly. They understood her pain of her capture.
Anakin led them further into the ship. Suddenly Ahsoka stopped.
"What?" Anakin stopped beside her.
"I think this is where I lost my lightsabre," she whispered.
"It might still be here," Anakin said. "Let's start looking,"
Ahsoka and Anakin started looking around. They looked through the piles of droid parts.
"Ahsoka!" called Luminara from the cells.
Anakin and Ahsoka went running back to the cells.
"What?" Ahsoka called stopping a couple of metres away from Luminara.
Luminara held up something that looked familiar.
"My lightsabre!" She rushed forward. "Where'd you find it?"
"It was on the floor under the button that activates the cells. Now please don't do what Anakin did and lose your weapon," Luminara grinned as she handed the Padawan back her weapon.
"Not worry, Master Luminara. I'm not like Anakin." Ahsoka threw her best 'I owe you' look at her master.
"I hope you're right, Ahsoka." Luminara chuckled.
Anakin finished his evaluation of the crime scene and the group of Jedi returned to Corcuscant to report back to the council.
