Chapter 20- Distraction

About 35 hours later…

A small ship pulled out of hyperspace above Takodana. Anakin, in the pilot's chair, turned to the others that were sitting in the passenger compartment beyond the cockpit.

"We are here," Anakin said.

Obi-wan, who was in the co-pilot's chair, stood and made his way to the back. Everyone was strapped in along the wall of the passenger compartment.

"Alright, we all remember the plan?" Obi-wan asked.

"Yes," Jac said. He and his Padawan came along on this rescue mission. "Cayden, Ahsoka, and I are sneaking off the ship once we land using the smugglers escape hatch that Anakin installed. We will then make our way to the cells and break them out."

"Meanwhile, we will stick with you as you 'trade us' for Sasha," Erza continued. "However, once Master Skywalker gets the all clear that others have been busted out and are on their way back then we turn the tables on the droids and make our escape, leaving no one behind."

"Correct," Obi-wan said. "Now sit tight. We will be landing soon. Jac, Cayden, and Ahsoka prepare to disembark."

The three Jedi nodded and started to unstrap themselves so that way they were ready by the time they landed. Obi-wan moved back into the cockpit and stood behind Anakin.

"Have you located the base?" Obi-wan asked.

"Yeah, it's hanging out in the atmosphere of the planet," Anakin said.

"Good, move us in," Obi-wan ordered.

Anakin nodded and flew the ship into the atmosphere of the planet. Once they broke through the cloud layers, they spotted the base floating high above a large lake. Once they were within sight of the base, they were being hailed. Obi-wan answered it.

"Unidentified ship, please respond," a droid's voice said through the comms.

"This is General Obi-wan Kenobi," Obi-wan stated. "Requesting an audience with Count Dooku."

A moment of silence then another voice came on. It was Dooku.

"Master Kenobi, what do I owe the pleasure?" Dooku asked. "Have you decided on our deal?"

"Yes," Obi-wan said. He sighed. "I will… go along with your deal, Dooku."

"Excellent," Dooku said. "I will allow you to land in the main hanger bay."

He hung up. Obi-wan smirked. Anakin pulled into the main hanger bay and set down.

"Go!" Obi-wan ordered as the ship barely touched the ground.

Jac pulled open the hatch. Ahsoka and Cayden jumped down before he did too. The hatch left open only for Erza, who had unbuckled herself, who closed it.

Jac, Ahsoka, and Cayden maneuvered over to the crates nearby the ship just as the main door to the hanger bay opened. Jac looked ducked down and spotted the vents. He gestured to the vents. Cayden nodded. Ahsoka carefully glanced over the boxes to make sure the coast was clear. Whoever just entered the hanger was currently hidden by shuttle that was in her line of sight. She gestured. One at a time, they tuck and rolled over to the vent. Ahsoka opened it. Cayden climbed in first then Jac and Ahsoka followed. She closed the vent just in time for Obi-wan to get off the ship to meet up with whoever was there to greet them.

Obi-wan stepped down the ramp of the ship. Standing there waiting was Dooku. Obi-wan approached, but kept his distance.

"What changed your mind?" Dooku questioned. "Was it your attachment to your Padawan? Was it your own selfishness? Or was it the Council's doing? I know how they felt about strangers getting involved with Jedi affairs.'

"It is none of your business to know why," Obi-wan said with a sorrowful voice. "Now where is Sasha?"

"You will see her, you have my word," Dooku said. "But I need to see if you held up your end of the bargain. Where are the wizards?"

Obi-wan sighed. He gestured to the top of the ramp. A moment later, Natsu, Erza, Lucy, and the exceeds walked down the ramp with the look of betrayal on their faces. Anakin was behind them, cutting them off from any chance of escape. Obi-wan turned back to Dooku.

"Now where is Sasha?" he asked sounding pained by all of this.

Dooku raised an eyebrow. "I am impressed, Kenobi. Alright, we had a deal." He turned to a droid. "Get the girl."

"Roger, roger," the droid said before leaving.

Obi-wan shot a glance back at Anakin. Anakin ran a thumb over his lips. That was the signal for "no news yet on the others". Obi-wan sighed. Hurry.

Jac peeked out into the corridor. Once it was clear, he then kicked the vent off and climbed out. Cayden and Ahsoka climbed out after him. He replaced the vent. They were in the corridor just outside of the cell bay. They made their way into the cell bay. There was only one droid who was patrolling it and it was facing the other way. Jac force pulled it toward him and activated his saber in time for it to be pierced by the blade. He then turned the blade off and dropped the droid.

"Check the cells," Jac ordered.

Each of them started to check each of the cells. Jac stopped when he spotted the cell with the gaping hole in one of the cell doors. He was dumb founded by it. Meanwhile, Cayden opened another cell.

"I found them," he called quietly to the others.

Ahsoka and Jac rushed over as Cayden entered the cell. Gray, who had a piece of fabric over his right biscep and around his torso, stood when they entered.

"Thank god it's you guys!" Gray said. "Where are the others?"

"Distracting Dooku," Ahsoka said. "Now we got to go."

Wendy nodded and stood.

"We need Sasha's saber," Wendy told Ahsoka as they stepped out in the corridor.

"Knowing Dooku, if he was going to hand Sasha over to her Master he would at least return her saber too," Ahsoka said. "Meaning he probably has it."

Wendy nodded.

Cayden knelt down next to Sasha.

"Cayden, thank the force," Sasha said.

She looked tired, but alright from the looks of it.

"We've got to go," Cayden said as he moved to place an arm under her shoulders to help me to her feet.

Once on her feet, she "fell" into his arms and ended up giving him a hug. He gently hugged her back and pulled away in time to make it seem like he merely caught her and helped her to stand up straight.

"You've got her?' Gray asked concerned.

"Yeah," Cayden said. "Now let's get out of here."

Gray nodded.

The rest of them left the cell and started to make their way back to the exit. However, right as they entered the hall outside of the cell bay, a droid rounded a corner.

"The prisoners!" The droid said.

"Oh no, we've got to stop him," Cayden said.

Ahsoka activated her saber and rushed forward. She slashed him down. However, that's when she noticed the commlink that was beeping.

"Oh kriff," she said.

A moment later, the ship alarmed blarred.

"We've got to get back to the ship now!" Jac ordered.

"This way," Ahsoka said leading them away and back to the hanger.

So much for a quiet escape.

An alarm went off. Obi-wan and the others looked around concerned.

"What's going on?" Dooku demanded.

"I don't know, sir," One of the droids said.

"Well go find out and capture them," Dooku ordered.

One droid rushed off to figure out the alarm. The other droids started to close in on Obi-wan and the Wizards.

"Natsu," Lucy said.

The dragon slayer nodded and rushed forward. He launched fire balls at the droids. Erza then summoned swords and threw them forward to piece the droids. The droids fell. Dooku stepped back and pulled out his saber. Obi-wan and Anakin force pushed him. The sith went skidding back into a pile of boxes. At that moment the doors opened again, but instead of more droids it was Jac and the other with Sasha, Gray, and Wendy.

"Anakin get the ship ready," Obi-wan ordered. "Natsu, give us cover."

Anakin rushed up the ramp followed by Lucy, Erza, and the cats. Natsu created a wall of fire between them and Dooku. The others reached the ship. Jac, Wendy, Cayden, Gray, and Sasha made their way up the ramp. Ahsoka looked over to Dooku and spotted Sasha's saber on his belt. She forced it to her. The saber flew through the flames and to Ahsoka's hand. It was warm, but not too hot to burn her. She then rushed up the ramp. Obi-wan and Natsu following in tow.

"GET US OF HERE!" Obi-wan ordered as he slammed the button to close the ramp.

Anakin flipped a dozen switches and then pulled the ship out of the hanger bay. They managed to escape for now.
