Chapter 12: sneaking aboard and great uncle palpatine?

As obi-wan sat the children in highchairs and turned to prepare them bottles when his doorbell was set off "hm who could that be" obi-wan said putting the empty bottles down getting a whine from nox and mender. "Il be back in a moment don't worry" obi-wan said walking to his door and pressed the button to open it.

"Hello there" obi-wan said smiling at the old man being escorted by 2 senate guards. "General kenobi a pleasure would you mind if we have a chat i have a mission for you" palpatine said and the two walk in and palpatine eyes the children.

"Ah i heard the jedi put you in charge of the little ones you found" palpatine said walking up to the children and strokes nox's hair and the little sith tried everything not to recoil in horror but met eye to eye with the chancellor. In those few microseconds nox attempted to use a direct mind probe but was met with a powerful force barrier and palpatine smiles "have you named them yet kenobi? The registers need to have a name for them" palpatine says.

"Oh umm that one is morgan and the other is kurai" obi-wan says pointing to nox then at mender "oh such adorable children they must be so proud of their new daddy.. Being one of my most trustable generals" palpatine says and obi-wan folds his arms slowly. "Well i appreciate the visit but the mission?" obi-wan says and palpatine sighs and turns to kenobi.

"Ah right the sith darth maul has been spotted on mandalore i want you and general skywalker to… eliminate this sith after all sith is your speciality" palpatine says and obi-wan was a little stunned. "Of course chancellor just allow me to make arrangements for my children" obi-wan says and palpatine raises a hand "il look after them the senate is having its decennial break" palpatine says and obi-wan smiles.

"Oh by the way kenobi you must depart right away skywalker is waiting in the hanger so best get going" palpatine says and obi-wan hesitantly leaves the room.

Nox and mender slowly look at each other making a silent promise to go after their adopted father scared that the old man in front of them could be a sith or worse. "Now then what was general kenobi going to do with you little dumplings" palpatine says picking up the two and nodding for his guards to stand outside.

As the old man put them both into the playpen mender and nox sensed everything go from wrong to REALLY wrong. When palpatine walks back into the kitchen nox and mender look at each other "when obi-wan gets back i am going to kriffing kill him he said the sith were dead" nox said under his breath.

"Listen obi-wan is like our dad now so i guess you should not kill him, also i would like to know about these sith too" mender says as palpatine walks out of the kitchen, "hush now jedi we best pretend to be real babies" nox whispers then sticks his fingers in his mouth and mender rolled onto her stomach when palpatine comes back putting 2 bottles in the playpen.

"Hmmm maybe you two are not as problematic as i thought.. Hmm accidental mind probes ah i remember when maul had those ah well baby jedi have to go" palpatine says reminiscing about his apprentice then leaves the babies alone in the apartment.

When the door shuts nox and mender drop the act and nox levitates the bottles and drops them out a open window to the depths below. "Oh he made 2 mistakes" nox said angrily not caring that he looked like he was about to have a tantrum "what mistakes?" mender asks.

"Well 3 actually when i attempted to probe his mind i broke through for a moment the sith are back but they are a bastardized version of what we were… and he called me a jedi" nox said in disgust. "And his 3rd 'mistake' as you put it" mender asks "he broke one of the major rules of the sith he just tried to poison us" nox says clenching his fists.

"Wait there was poison in those? How could you tell? I couldn't sense it" mender says worried "sith like me are trained to use a special version of force sense we can tell what chemical is what without having to look" nox said proud of himself.

"Well no one is here to look after us so if you are such a genius get us out of here" mender says and nox sits on his padded butt then crosses his legs. Tapping his foot a little nox felt pressure and not from mender for once he really needed to pee.

"Well i am waiting" mender says and nox was getting a little angry "don't hurry me jedi i just can't think" nox says and mender sighs. "Nox if you need to pee don't make it so obvious" mender says and waves her hand and levitates nox over the playpens barrier and places him on the ground.

"I was going to do that to you" nox said slowly getting to his feet trying to cover his blush and opens the baby gate on the playpen "thanks for getting the door just don't expect me to change you" mender says and nox blushes. "I didn't… you know what if you are so smart how are we going to get out of here past prune head?" nox says and mender looks back at him.

"Nox i assume your plan was to get to obi-wan's office and call our droids" mender said and nox's eyes went wide "my plan was to kill the guards he left at the front door if they haven't left and get that nice librarian to call our droids" nox said. "Nox do refrain from killing" mender said as the babies walk towards obi-wan's office.

After force throwing a block into the button the babies walk into obi-wan's office and they climb onto the meditation chair obi-wan has at his desk. "Lets see here communicator, communicator where would be a communicator" nox said searching the desk and picking up a small round disk.

"I think this might be it.. Bit smaller than i thought it would be even by our size" nox said finding the dialing controls "well just hurry i have a bad feeling" mender says sensing people moving outside the apartment.

After dialing for his droid nox smiled when the droids hologram phased into existance "my master how did you get into contact with me? Where is kenobi? Are you on your own?" 2V asks. "2V cool your cores listen someone just tried to poison us and kenobi is on his way to mandalore track this communicator and get us somewhere safe" nox says.

"M-master please be safe" 2V says as nox pockets the communicator as they hear the front door open "time we leave" mender says using the force to pull a vent cover off. "We should make our way to the hangar hide there and let 2V find us" nox says crawling into the vent with mender stopping to pull the vent back into place.

As they crawl away they hear someone say "they are not here my lord" and they start to crawl faster "you know what sith can do but these are a new generation of sith, i am guessing they specialise in stealth" nox said crawling as fast as he can.

"Well you are the expert" mender pants out.

After a journey through the vents and getting a couple of burns, cuts and bruises nox and mender crawl out of a vent at the jedi temples hangar bay.

Looking around the corner of the crate they are hiding behind nox notices a familiar droid. Waving 2V over mender and nox were scooped up into his arms "2V never have i been so glad to see you" nox says with a sigh of pure relief.

2V looked over them both "sir i detect you are both injured and in need of a change and medical attention we must get you back to the ship" 2V says and the babies blushed. "J-just get us out of here" mender says covering up her face.

"Next stop mandalore" nox said triumphantly and 2V if robots could have expressions would of given a look of disappointment "sorry master i cannot let you go to mandalore it was your orders" 2V said that's when nox's face dropped.
