Plo Koon was the first to spot the ship coming down through the thick Coruscanti clouds. The Temple guards immediately snapped to attention and the Medical team prepared the stretcher for Kenobi. As the ship's gear touched down on the stone landing platform, Plo was hit with a strong feeling that something was wrong. He didn't know what, but something just felt wrong. The hatch to the ship opened and the medical team rushed inside. They returned a few moments later with Obi-Wan lying still on the hover stretcher. As soon as they were off the landing platform and out of harm's way, Master Koon called to Anakin who had remained in the ship with the criminal. The Temple guards ignited their sabre pikes. What came next would forever be etched into the minds of all present. Skywalker marched out to the top of the ramp with the small frame of his Padawan in front of him. His padawan was wearing the stun cuffs. What is going on? Is she the dangerous criminal he was talking about? And in one forceful push, Anakin shoved his padawan down the ramp so she fell in a heap to the bottom where she lay still. Her face had a deep gash and her neck bared a deep, straight burn as though slashed with a sabre. However it was bleeding, which meant…a ravenblade. She was struck with a ravenblade, only a weapon like that could cause injuries that both burn and bleed. There was no evidence that either of her injuries had been treated. Plo's face was painted with pure, unconcealed shock, something nobody has ever seen on him before. Anakin simply glared at him and shouted at the Temple Guards who also stood still, "Well? Take her to a cell!" The temple guards whipped into action, grabbing Iella hard by her upper arms, and dragged her away limp, Iella's head slumped to her chest.
"Skywalker, what is going on? What happened out there? Why is your padawan wearing stun cuffs? Why do you believe she is a criminal?"
"Because she is! She attacked Obi-Wan! She's violent and unstable! She doesn't have enough control of her emotions to stay out of the Dark Side!"
"Calm down, Skywalker! If the Council sees evidence of that, then we will investigate. But until then, you must fill out a report. I will take care of your padawan -"
"She will not be my padawan for much longer. I am appealing to the Council for repudiation."
"Anakin," Koon spoke, using the younger man's first name in an attempt to diffuse the emotions roiling through the Force, "do not go to the Council for repudiation yet. Make a report first, and let us investigate. Do not abandon Iella without giving her a chance to defend herself."
Something in Anakin's mind flickered. A hushed voice in the back of his mind told him he was wrong, that his accusations were false. He buried it like he did with all the voices that murmur in his head.
"No. I have made my decision. Iella Kestal will no longer be my padawan."
"Force have mercy on all of us."
