Anakin landed the T-6 shuttle on Nal Hutta after finding out Hardeen escaped prison with Bane and Eval. "What makes you think Obi-Wan's murderer is on Nal Hutta?" Ahsoka asked him as they exited the shuttle. "I got a tip from the Chancellor himself." her master replied as they walked into the town. "How are we gonna find them?" she asked. "Ahsoka, you should know by now, if you want to find a lowlife." he said "You start at the saloon." she finished, pointing at it. "Hunting a Bounty Hunter 101." Revan joked. "See? He gets it." Anakin said with a smirk. Ahsoka rolled her eyes at the two boys.
The three walked up the small ramp and past some patrons before entering the saloon. Two Gamorrean guards attempted to stop them but Anakin just Force-pushed them into the bar. Anakin used the Force to rip the axe out of the still conscious guard before tossing it away, nearly cutting an alien's head in half. Some of the patrons clapped as the Jedi stepped up to the bar. "The fugitives are already gone." the bartender explained in Basic with a translator attached to his neck. "All three of them were here?" Anakin asked. "Two came in, met the third." he answered. "When did they leave?" Ahsoka asked. "Nothing's free on Nal Hutta, especially information. "I don't have time for games." Anakin said coldly with a glare as he lifted the alien up with a Force Choke. "You just missed them." he choked out. "Keep talking." the Knight ordered. "I heard one of them say they just bought a ship." he answered before Anakin released him. "Let's go, you two." the Knight said to the teens.
The Jedi headed to the shipyard and showed a holo of Bane, Hardeen and Eval to the Bith in charge. The Bith spoke something in his native language before Anakin turned it off. "How do you know they couldn't have gotten very far?" Anakin asked him before he replied something. "So you only gave them enough fuel to reach the nearest filling station, on Orondia, which is owned by your brother? Well that's a nice little money making scam." Anakin said as he gave the man a few credits and the Bith chuckled before the Knight turned back to the others. "We'd better get going. Orondia's pretty deserted. They may steal a ship there to throw us off their trail." Ahsoka said as they walked back to the ship. "I like your thinking." her master replied.
Anakin brought the ship out of hyperspace and headed towards the planet before flying near the fuelling station. "Look, it's Cad Bane." Ahsoka said, noticing him walking into a ship. "Are you sure?" Anakin asked. "Ugh, who else wears a hat like that?" she asked with mild disgust. Revan gritted his teeth as his anger flared a bit. Ahsoka looked at him and gently squeezed his hand comfortingly. The Knight was still furious over the time Bane nearly killed his wife almost two years ago. "Good point." Anakin agreed as the fugitives ship started taking off towards space. Anakin sped up and scraped the bottom of the shuttle against the other ship. They attempted to ditch the Jedi and soon ended up a few feet behind them before Anakin pulled back then zoomed forward again, scratching the top of the other ship again.
"Take over! I'll bring 'em down." Anakin said before leaving the cockpit as Ahsoka took control of the shuttle. Revan helped his wife control the shuttle whenever the fugitives tried to lose them. The one driving the fugitive ship shot some of the pipes they were flying over, creating some explosions that caused smoke to appear. Ahsoka gasped as she barely pulled up in time to fly over the stone arch they nearly crashed into. The bottom of the shuttle collided roughly with the other ship and both crashed to the ground. Revan checked to make sure Ahsoka was alright and found her out cold from the crash.
Revan revived her and she held her head in pain. "Easy." her husband said gently before helping her out of the seat. The couple quickly exited the ship to make sure Anakin was okay and hopped up onto the top of the factory they landed beside just in time to see the older Knight deflecting Bane's blaster bolts. The Knight disarmed his opponent and was about to kill him before Hardeen tackled the Jedi and disarmed him. 'Wow. Not many can take on Anakin in close combat like that.' the couple quickly jumped over just as Bane was about to shoot the unconscious Anakin. The two deflected Bane's bolts as they stood in front of Anakin before the bounty hunter stopped when Eval came out of the ship. "Ship is still operational. I got it working. Now let's get out of here." Eval said as he ran back to the ship.
"You're lucky we're in a hurry, children. We'll have to dance another time." Bane said, mockingly tipping his hat at them before running back to the ship. Hardeen looked at them and Revan could see a familiar look in them before Obi-Wan's killer followed his partners. The teens sheathed their sabers before kneeling beside Anakin. "Master. Master, are you all right?" she asked, shaking him lightly. Anakin groaned softly and coughed a bit as he sat up before the fugitives ship took off. They tried helping him up before falling back down. "What is it? What's wrong?" she asked him. "That's why I felt a connection. Obi-Wan is still alive." he replied. Ahsoka and Revan's eyes widened. 'I knew it!' "I- I- I don't understand." she said confusedly. "I don't either. But we're gonna get to the bottom of this, believe me." he said, earning a nod from his friends as they helped him stand before heading back to the shuttle.
Another short-ish chapter it seems. Anyways, onto the next chapter.
