Tattooine:
Jango Fett sat in the cockpit of Slave One as, he watched Boba walk in.
"How did you do son?"
Boba smiled, "This one old lady was telling me that Skywalker's mother got sold to some Moisture farmer that lived outside of Mos Eisley by Anchorhead many years ago.. She couldn't remember the Farmer's name but she said that Skywalker's mother's name was Shmi and that she had dark hair and dark eyes."
Jango nodded, "strap yourself in, I'm going take us on over there right now. If all goes well then we'll find her."
Boba eagerly nodded in agreement.
Jango smiled, "Go ahead and put on your armor. If all goes well, I am thinking that we'll be able to pick her up without having to disguise."
Boba nodded and, obediently strapped himself into his seat next to his father as the ship took off.
Jango smiled, "Alright we'll do this together. As soon as we have her, we'll load up and head off to the Executor with her. Once we're there we'll get our money and leave."
Boba frowned, "You don't want to take another job?"
Jango smiled, "Are you kidding me? This is the last mistake that Grievous and Veers will ever make. I've seen what Skywalker can do. He isn't worth pissing off to much. I want to stay away because what we're doing is basically waking a sleeping giant."
Boba nodded in silence.
Boba then looked out of the viewports of Slave One at the barren dessert in disgust, "Dad why do people live on this planet?"
Jango looked at his son with a smile, "People move here to get away from problems on other worlds. Then their offspring and descendants remain here because they have known nothing else. One thing about our work son is that when the pay is good we go wherever we're told without asking any questions."
Boba nodded in silence.
A short time later, Jango and Boba landed Slave One just outside of Anchorhead.
"You stay here and keep the ship running. I'll go find our target," stated Jango.
Boba nodded obediently.
Shmi Skywalker looked at Beru who looked fairly exhausted after a night of caring for Ayon, "I can go myself to Anchorhead for supplies. You stay here."
Beru nodded, "I'm just gonna take a nap now that he's sleeping. Thank you so much Shmi"
"Goodnight Beru."
Beru smiled as Shmi left her.
Shmi immediately headed for her speeder and drove off.
Jango walked into Anchorhead and soon, found the local market. He smiled under his helmet, this is perfect, She will certainly be coming to this place since it is the only market. I will see if any of the seller's know her.
Jango immediately looked around at the sellers and headed towards A large Whiphid who was selling produce.
Jango approached the man and spoke, "I was wondering if I could obtain some information from you."
The Whiphid frowned, "What can I do for you? I mean you look like a bounty hunter."
Jango nodded, "I am looking for a Woman that was freed from slavery some time ago. She was married to a Moisture Farmer. I was hired by her father to come and find her. Her mother just passed away."
"You must mean Shmi Skywalker Lars. A Middle aged woman right?"
Jango nodded as the Man spoke, "She'll be here any minute she comes to buy my produce right at this time exactly."
Jango nodded, "Wave her towards me when you see her, thank you for your time."
The Whiphid nodded as Jango left.
Jango immediately moved for a dark Alley and watched the Whiphid's stand as he waited for Shmi Skywalker to approach.
He smiled as he saw the woman approach and immediately, he pulled out his blaster and set it for stun. He quickly fired a shot as the crowd began to panic. Without a word, he scooped Shmi up and carried her away from the now panicking crowd.
Anakin stood in the Alliance Council room as he felt something through the Force, His mother was in danger!
Without saying a word, he ran out of the Council room.
Obi-Wan was quick to follow.
Anakin ran into the Hanger bay and Looked at a nearby Officer, "Open those shield Doors now!"
"Yes sir!"
Anakin quickly jumped onto a Swoop bike and flew off into the dessert, His mother was in danger and nothing would stop him from saving her.
He was so focused on his mother that he didn't notice Obi-Wan following him.
Anakin swiftly flew at Full speed towards Anchorhead.
He flew with little regard for his own life or for anything else but saving his mother as he flew through the Barren Desserts.
As he approached Anchorhead, he focused on her presence, He looked ahead of him as he neared the outskirts of Anchorhead.
He noticed to his shock, Slave One just lifting off.
He knew as he looked on helplessly that he was to late.
Before anything could happen, He saw an Airspeeder that was carrying Obi-Wan fly towards the Ship. He saw Obi-Wan throw something at the ship as he flew back down.
Anakin stopped his ship and looked up at the sky in rage, "How could they? Cowards. The Fett Bastards took my mother. How could they?"
Obi-Wan frowned, "Anakin calm down."
"We need to go after her. We need to go now Obi-Wan!"
Obi-Wan frowned, "Come to your senses. Do you think the Fett's just kidnapped her for no reason?" asked Obi-Wan.
Anakin breathed in deeply before looking at the Jedi Master and shaking his head, "No. They had a reason."
"Of course they did. Somebody hired them to."
Anakin looked at Obi-Wan in anger, "I will tear the Emperor apart piece by piece for this outrage!" Anakin screamed in rage.
Obi-Wan frowned, "Listen Anakin, It is a trap for you. Do you not see it?"
Anakin frowned as Obi-Wan continued, "We'll simply spring the trap. I placed a homing device on their hull. Come on let's get back to the base and make a plan."
Anakin obediently nodded and, hopped onto the Swoop Bike that he had taken and flew back to the Base with Obi-Wan at his side.
A short time later, The two Jedi flew into the Hanger together and, Obi-Wan quickly led the now distraught young Jedi back towards the Council Room.
Upon entering, Mon glared at the two Jedi and spoke, "That was very immature, I demand that Skywalker be removed from this Council."
Anakin in response moved towards Mon and placed his face two inches from her's, "I Have had enough of you. Your mother wasn't just kidnapped by the Fett's, but My mother was. I was to late to save her. You have no room to condemn me for trying to protect my mother just shut the hell up!" screamed Anakin in her face as he pushed Mon out of his way in anger causing even Padme to gasp in shock.
"Look at him, He just assaulted me."
"Right now would be a dam good time for you to be quiet!" Yelled Obi-Wan.
Before Obi-Wan could say More Bail and Garm who were infuriated by the turn of events, grabbed Mon by her arms and led her to the doorway of the Council Room and without a word shoved the woman out of the room.
Obi-Wan then spoke, "I personally believe that the Empire is using Shmi as a means to lure Anakin into a confrontation."
"Mmmm Agree with you I do Trying to lure him into a confrontation with Grievous Sidious is," Replied Yoda.
Anakin then spoke, "What should I do?"
"Go after her and rescue her you will young Skywalker," replied Yoda.
"Only you won't be alone," stated Mace with a smile.
Anakin frowned, "What do you mean?"
Kit Fisto then spoke, "I have an idea if you want to hear it."
Anakin nodded as Kit spoke, "There is a large cruiser from Jabba's Palace that belonged to a group of Bounty Hunters that were killed. We'll take the cruiser and pose as Bounty Hunters that are collecting a bounty On a Jedi Knight. That is how we'll gain access to wherever she is being taken," stated Kit.
Anakin nodded as Padme spoke, "You can count me in."
"And me too," Stated Siri.
Yoda smiled, "Go all of the Jedi Will. Skywalker, Kenobi, Your job, defeat Grievous you will. Join you in the attack Master Qui-Gon uwill. Everyone else, Go with me to rescue your mother they will."
Anakin nodded in silence.
Bail then spoke, "I am going to go and inform your stepfather of the situation Anakin. You and the rest of the Jedi can make the plans without me."
Anakin nodded as Garm spoke in disgust, "I am going to go and make sure that Mothma stays away from you. I will leave guards at your chambers for the time being so she won't harass you. After this crisis is over we're having a meeting in regards to weather we are keeping her on Council or not because I am dam sick of her. All that she just said to you was a complete outrage."
Anakin nodded as Garm left.
Padme then wrapped her arms around Anakin and kissed his lips, "Don't worry Ani, we'll get her back."
Anakin nodded, "I really hope so Angel. If she is being taken to Grievous, I dread to think of what he'll do to the mother of a Jedi."
"The Emperor will have him restrained. She is of no use to him dead," stated Qui-Gon.
Anakin looked at the Jedi Master as he felt reassured by Qui-Gon's words.
Bail Organa got out of his Speeder as he prepared to enter the Lars Homestead. At the same time, He saw Owen and Cliegg come out with guns.
He frowned, "Can I help you Mr Lars?"
Cliegg nodded, "We were just going out to find Shmi I suspect that Tuskens got her."
Bail shook his head, "You better step inside we have a lot to talk about. Tell Beru to watch the door for A'Sharad. He is coming with me back to the base."
Cliegg nodded as Bail walked inside of the farmhouse with him.
Bail then spoke, "I can imagine that you're very worried about your wife."
"She should have been back an hour ago."
Bail nodded, "She was kidnapped by Jango Fett. Anakin is working on a plan to rescue her right now. He'll be leaving the Planet within the hour to rescue her. I would say that the best thing would be to sit tight. He'll find her, I can promise that."
Cliegg nodded nervously, "I understand Senator."
Bail then spoke, "Everything will be alright, I promise you that Anakin will rescue her."
Cliegg nodded, "I have no doubt that whoever is behind the kidnapping will soon be in pieces."
Bail nodded as Beru entered the room and spoke, "Hett is here."
Bail nodded as Beru spoke, "It is my fault, I should have gone with her."
Bail shook his head, "There was nothing that you could have done. You would have been kidnapped too or even killed."
Beru was silent as Hett entered the room. "What is going on Senator?"
"Skywalker's mother was kidnapped by the Fetts they are taking her to Grievous and a Strike team is leaving the planet to rescue her within an hour."
"Yes I heard the strike team part in the message, I will join."
Bail nodded, "In that case, we better get you back to base."
Hett nodded in silence as Bail stood up.
Bail then said goodbye to the Lars family and swiftly led Hett towards the doorway and soon, The two of them got into Bail's speeder and flew back towards the base.
Anakin watched as Darred and Captain Typho approached him and Padme in the Hanger bay, "We have decided to join the team. I hope that you don't mind," stated Captain Typho
Anakin nodded, "You realize that this will be a dangerous mission."
"My loyalty is to my Queen. I go where she goes and I die if I must for her,"
Anakin nodded in silence.
Darred then spoke, "Family is family and you're family and family help each other out."
Anakin nodded in silence. The two men then, passed him and headed for the ship.
Anakin then noticed Padme approach, "My parents are going to keep the twins in their room for the night. Are you ready?"
Anakin nodded, "Are you?"
"All set Ani."
Anakin nodded and at the same time, Saw Hett approach him. "We are going to fight together again I see."
Anakin nodded, "Are you ready?"
Hett nodded as he moved towards the ship.
Padme then boarded with Anakin and Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon.
Yoda at the same time, Perched himself on a crate that was right next to her seat as Master Plo Koon headed for the cockpit with Mace Windu. She noticed Siri board and take a seat that was next to Kenobi.
Everyone was ready for battle, It was obvious by looking at them.
Moments later, The ship lifted off and flew into the Atmosphere. The moment that the ship jumped into hyperspace, The weapons crate began to shake.
Anakin shook his head, "I think that we have a stowaway."
Padme frowned, "What do you mean?"
Anakin immediately reached into the supply crate and pulled out young Han Solo by his hair.
"Han what are you thinking?"
Han smiled, "I-I'm gonna help you rescue your mom. My mom was killed by Imperials and I don't want them to kill yours so I will help you."
Anakin frowned as Han continued, "I'm good with a blaster and I helped you take on the Fett's back on Corellia don't worry about me."
Anakin noticed a smile on Ob-Wan's face.
"He is just like you Anakin."
"Not funny Master."
Anakin then turned to Han, "Once we land, I want you to stay inside of the Cockpit and don't leave. Stay here until the time to leave comes."
Han smiled slyly in response.
Padme looked at Anakin with a grin, "I am certainly glad that we picked this boy up, He really can make a situation more entertaining."
Qui-Gon then spoke, "Han can you pilot this ship?"
Han smiled, "Of course I can."
"Good, We need a getaway pilot. That will be you. Your job will be to get us out of here the moment that everyone is onboard. Are you up to the task?"
"Yes sir."
Qui-Gon smiled, "See? The boy even can help after all."
Anakin shook his head, "Don't encourage him."
Qui-Gon chuckled in response.
Executor:
Shmi Skywalker Lars looked at the Massive Hanger Bay that she was being led out of in horror as she watched Jango Fett and his son walk away. A squad of Stormtroopers took their place at her side as they led her towards a Prison Cell.
She noticed an Angry Imperial Officer who was on a crutch looking at her with a smile, "I served with your son before he became a traitor. Once we capture him he is going to watch helplessly as you're torn apart piece by piece."
Shmi looked at the Man with pity, "He will kill you along with the others that are on this ship. Surrender while you can."
"Take her away," said the Man with a smirk as he hobbled off.
Grievous looked at Fett as he handed him his Credit Chips, "Excellent job as always Fett. You have always been a great help to us."
Jango nodded, "I am glad that you're happy. If it is all good with you, I will happily take my leave. Good luck subduing Skywalker. I hope that you can eliminate him."
Grievous laughed in response, "I can't wait to see him dead."
Jango nodded, "Between you and I, I would honestly like to see the Galaxy rid of both the Sith and the Jedi."
Grievous nodded, "I can't say that I disagree with you. However, Sidious and Dooku saved my life and my people from oppression, Oppression that the Jedi failed to protect us from so I have nothing agains the Sith."
Jango nodded in silence as he left he Cyborg General.
Jango then led Boba off towards Slave One.
Together, Father and Son boarded the ship as they prepared to leave. At that moment, Boba noticed a Homing Device that was sitting on the hull of their Ship, "Dad Look at this!"
Jango nodded and took out a knife and wedged it between the device and the ship. Instantly, the device fell to the ground, "It must have been the Jedi. Now they are their problem and not ours. I have to admit that I wouldn't mind adding another lightsaber or two to my collection though."
Boba nodded in silence as he followed his Dad onboard Slave One.
Together, Father and Son took off and left the Imperial Star Destroyer behind them.
General Grievous watched as General Veers entered the Conference room. "Good news is that she is in her cell. That was easy from what I heard."
Grievous nodded with a grim laugh, "Now we have to wait for Skywalker to come. I am pretty sure that he'll come without thinking, just like Palpatine and Dooku predict."
Veers nodded, "I have three squads of our best Clones guarding her cell. I also have a squad positioned in the Hanger Bay that we will allow him to land in when he arrives."
Grievous nodded as he let loose a cough.
Veers then spoke, "It will be interesting to see how the Emperor kills the traitor."
Grievous laughed, "If I don't kill him first."
"He told you that you were forbidden to do such a thing General and don't forget about who outranks you."
"Only because you're a human and I am not. I don't care about our ranks General. Don't forget about who is crippled for a month or two and who has the capability to fight the Jedi and who doesn't."
Veers was silent in response as Grievous spoke, "I am going to head off to the Command Bridge to see if Skywalker is on his way."
Veers nodded, "I'll be in my office writing up a report. Let me know when he arrives."
Grievous nodded in silence.
Ok I will have more up soon. I am hoping to have the next update ready by tomorrow, because it is wrong to leave cliffhangers that last for a week or more. If not tomorrow I promise that it will be up by Saturday. Thank you for reading and reviewing.
