The sun sets at Coruscant with Anakin and Padme having lunch at a grand table designed for a dinner party as Senators should always be prepared for. They're eating lunch and enjoying a conversation when Anakin receives a signal from his communication device. He excuses himself from the table and answers the device to see Qui-Gon.

"Master?" Anakin asks.

"Anakin, Obi-Wan is in trouble."

"Trouble?"

He replies, "We were ordered to leave and he got caught by the Mandolorians."

"Where is he at?"

"We were intercepted at Eriadu and I predict they're heading towards Mandolore. There are two Sith Warriors also pursuing them."

Anakin asks, "Why are you telling me this? We should be bringing reinforcements."

"Master Windu refuses and I can't go after him myself so I'll say this…May the Force be with you, Anakin. I have to go."

The transmission quickly goes out having Anakin ponder. Padme approaches him, "Is everything alright."

Anakin replies, "Obi-Wan's in trouble."

Concerned she asks, "Your old master?"

He replies, "Yeah."

He looks out the window and he sighs, "Obi-Wan would want me to stay here on my mission, but Qui-Gon told me this…he wouldn't want that."

Padme asks, "What are you going to do about it?"

Anakin contemplates, clearly a battlefield going on in his head. He looks out the window again and pull out his communicator, "Owen?"

Obi-Wan groans waking up chained to a wall with Jango Fett pacing and looking at him.

"They told me you would wake up around this time."

He sighs knowing he can't escape, "What do you want bounty hunter?"

Jango grumbles through his helmet, "Well you owe me one for denying my fight with a Sith."

"Trust me, you wouldn't survive."

"I captured you, didn't I? Besides, I could kill you now."

Obi-Wan looks into the helmet of the bounty hunter and he seems to be focused elsewhere as he replies, "You're a father, aren't you?"

The bounty hunter doesn't answer, "That's why you don't murder like you could right now."

The man looks at Obi-Wan then shoots him in the thigh causing him to scream in agony, "You're right."

He walks away as the cell door slams down behind Jango Fett leaving Obi-Wan to behind in the dark, murky dungeon.

The Starkiller ascends from Coruscant and Owen is clearly not happy with the situation.

"Now I don't mind helping a friend out, you know I don't…"

Anakin crosses his arms, "Yup…"

"But every time we contact each other anymore, something crazy always happens."

Anakin nods, "Uh huh."

Padme was about to speak up but Anakin looks over at him giving her a facial expression that it wasn't worth it.

"I just picked the spices up and now I have to make a detour to Mandalore, home of the galaxy's deadliest assassins/warriors."

Anakin replies, "Correction, they're the second deadliest assassins/warriors."

Owen groans when Artoo beeps. Owen replies almost defeated, "It is nice to see him."

Artoo continues on, "Yes and we get to have another trip together."

Artoo beeps again, "Fine, I'm glad it happened…but one question…"

Anakin nods waiting for his question, "Why is she here?!"

"She wouldn't have it any other way."

He rolls his eyes, "Anakin, if this is like the time with that Twi'Lek girl, you're cleaning the ship up."

Padme looks over at Anakin who just blushes from embarrassment. Padme asks laughing, "A Twi'Lek girl?"

Owen laughs as well, "Oh and you thought I was boring."

Anakin groans, "Owen, shut up."

"Oooh, looks like we have a backseat pilot here, remember that, Anakin…oh wait…what did they all used to call you back in Mos Eisley…Ani."

The Starkiller flies with Artoo chuckling and Anakin placing his hands in his face, "I'm going to end you."

Korriban still remains one of the most isolated parts of the galaxy, with ship wreckage from anyone who dared to stay for too long but only to be buried by the constant sand storms. What does stand the test of time throughout the planet are the ancient Sith Temples, including what remains of the Emperor's Palace. The Sith Interceptor lands in the docking bays carved into the cliff face of the Palace. Two warriors depart from it in their armor. However they're met by two other figures who stand there. The two incoming Sith look over to a towering figure.

They look at him who paces around. He slowly looks at them through his hood not revealing his face and he paces slowly as if he would strike one of them down. This man would not do such a task though, not without purpose and this is what made each of these warriors tremble internally. However he looks out towards the red barren landscape and he states, "It's time."
