Chapter 36

Obi-wan hated flying, because there was the logic in his mind if you flew, you would crash.

As the droid exploded he let go seconds before saving his hands from becoming heavily damaged he cursed his luck as he was falling and this time he couldn't even blame Naruto as he had made the choice to be impulsive.

Wonderfully done. This is usually Naruto's thing. I'm never going to live this down…if I live. Obi-wan thought as he was passing through traffic, amazed that he hadn't ended up as a hood decoration or a smudge on a cockpit.

The roar of an engine caught his attention and he saw a speeder angling with him, the familiar sight of blond hair caused him to relax and he used the force to cushion himself as he landed in a heap in the rear seat.

"Hey Ben!" Naruto greeted him and Obi-wan could hear the laughter in his friend's voice already. "Don't you know you can't fly with out a speeder?"

"Or in your wife's case a giant bird." Obi-wan said sitting up and realized Naruto had already pulled the speeder up and was giving chase, they were well behind Revan who was now after a speeder.

"Looked like a bounty hunter." Naruto said as Obi-wan climbed over the seats and strapped himself in.

"I didn't get a good look, but I think it was a woman." Obi-wan offered.

Naruto nodded as he pushed the speeder faster.

"What took you so long?" Obi-wan asked.

"Oh you know the usual. I had to find the right color, the speeder had to have great acceleration and I just couldn't find one I liked."

Obi-wan shook his head. "You my friend are insane."

"It took you this long to figure it out?" Naruto teased as he maneuvered the speeder through traffic, nearly causing several accidents as he cut across oncoming traffic.

"Did I see the children earlier?" Obi-wan asked trying to hide his fear of flying by keeping himself occupied.

"Yeah, and it looked like they had HK with them, but I didn't see Master Yoda." Naruto said.

Obi-wan groaned as he recalled the last time the twins were out of the temple without a Jedi with them. "I think the Quarren Embassy has shoot on sight orders for them still."

Naruto shrugged unconcerned. "They'll be fine. I just wonder what they are going to do this time."

Revan growled as she saw the speeder take the long way around. "Go over the buildings." She ordered the giant raven.

It didn't answer, but beat its wings as it did as ordered.

:::Beloved.::: Revan sent back over the bond and her idea. Naruto agreed and she looked over her shoulder to see the bright yellow speeder shoot into a tunnel. "One of us will get that hunter." She swore.

"Was that mom?" Kushina asked.

"Affirmative." HK said.

Anko snorted. "No, we're not going back…"

She saw a speeder pass by and waved to her father before gunning the accelerator and taking a tunnel that would save them time.

"And that was dad." Haku said.

"I think I saw Uncle Ben holding onto a orb droid."

"Go and help?" Kushina asked from her seat in the back.

HK felt a moment of panic at what the Mistress would say. "Negative. Statement: Mistress and Master are on duty, it is Jedi business. Tracking the bounty we decided on is ours. Amendment: Unless you wish to return to the temple now. Sorrowful retraction: This HK unit will comply."

"Oh hell no." Anko said. "We're having an adventure. Besides, it'll take them a couple of hours to finish repairing the hanger."

Haku nodded. "I think we used too much chakra blasting the door open with that fire jutsu."

Anko snorted again. "Told him to open it."

Kushina in the back was currently performing the leaf balance exercise, HK's optics were locked on and was trying to understand more about chakra as the children like his masters were able to use the strange energy source that had proven to be a source of great destruction and continued to fascinate the assassin droid with what could be done with "chakra". The assassin droid spent countless hours watching Naruto train the children in the ninja arts and for the first time as long as it could remember it envied the meatbags.

"You do know we're going to get scolded." Haku reminded her sister.

Anko snorted. "If we're going to get yelled at might as well make it worth it." Anko said paraphrasing her father.

Haku nodded at the logic. "In for a credit in for a cruiser."

Kushina remained quiet as she was working on her lesson that her father had given her before he'd left. She knew she was a daddy's girl and she didn't really want to be a Jedi, she wanted to be a ninja like her daddy.

"Where did you say that informant suggested we look for the target HK?" Anko called over her shoulder.

"Entertainment district. Statement: It's the other way."

Anko cursed as she switched the clutch and gunned the speeder down what was an access tunnel for emergency vehicles and then up between two of the skyscraper like towers, before skimming across another set of buildings.

"Hope no one opens a window." Haku muttered as her sister was flying like a combat pilot under heavy fire.

The sound of sirens had all three children turn to see Coruscant Police giving chase.

"How fast are we going?" Haku asked.

Anko scowled. "Buckle up. They aren't taking us without a fight."

Kushina added "We'll die first."

Haku the more logical of the three sighed. "That's what I'm afraid of." She muttered as she tightened the seatbelt.

"Inquiry: Should I open fire little mistresses?" HK inquired with a hopeful glee.

"NO!" all three children knew the last thing they needed was for the assassin droid to open fire on CPF.

"Hold on!" Anko called as she put the speeder on a nearly vertical dive, passing through traffic at a breakneck speed. "We'll loose them in the lower levels."

She said seeing the cloudbank coming up.

"Are you insane? Mom forbade us from going down there." Haku said.

"Would you rather sit in jail?" Anko fired back and they hit the darkness of the lower levels, Anko pulling the speeder into what was an abandoned building and shut it down.

"Kushina, shut HK down."

"Statement: I prote…..ssssss" the assassin droid said as Kushina turned him off, his red optical sensors going black as the police speeders went past.

"That was close." Anko said with a grin.

Revan growled as she saw the assassins speeder, but her ride still couldn't catch it. It was then she felt it in the force and watched as Naruto who had exited the tunnel across from her leap out of the speeder and leave Obi-wan at the controls. She force leapt across the chasm and landed in the pilots seat, even as the giant raven vanished back to the summon realm.

"Mind if I fly?" she asked Ben who actually looked surprised to see her. "Not at all." He looked over the side as Revan brought the speeders engines back online. "I hate when he does that."

Revan laughed, it was something only her or Naruto would do.

She hit the accelerator and aimed the speeder in time to see Naruto land on the roof of the bounty hunter's speeder.

:::Lucky landing love.::: she sent over the bond.

:::You call it luck…I call it skill.::: Naruto sent back and she felt his annoyance as a blaster bolt exploded from the roof.

"Master Revan?" Obi-wan asked.

"We'll keep back to follow. I think the hunter just became the prey.

XX

On the speeder's roof Naruto used chakra to hold on and stood looking down. "That nearly hit me!" he yelled.

Three more blaster shots exploded upwards and thanks to the force he avoided them and thanks to decades of chakra training he held on while standing.

"That's it!" Naruto snarled and his right hand came up and in it was the spiraling blue form of the first stage of the Rasengan.

"Your landing." Naruto said slamming his hand down on the rear of the craft. The engine stood no chance as the Rasengan shredded the housing and then the engine in a matter of seconds.

The flames created smoke and the craft started to descend, it's engine making a whining sound as its speed increased as it went in for a crash landing.

Naruto leapt from the ship before impact, he heard the bounty hunter inside cursing.

Naruto rolled and came up to his feet and saw the roof explode upwards and the bounty hunter ejected and ran for the nearest building.

"A nightclub." Naruto growled. He got a better look and the bounty hunter was female, and he saw the face changing.

"A shapeshifter." He muttered and turned feeling the presence of his wife.

"Nice." She said as her and Obi-wan exited the speeder.

"What took you so long?" he asked echoing Obi-wan's question from before.

"Oh you know, nothing matched my robes." Revan shot back.

Naruto smile and gestured. "Our hunter is female and a shifter from what I saw."

"You saw?" Obi-wan asked with a hint of disbelief. "Was that before or after you blew the speeder up under you?"

"Now, now Ben. It didn't hit anyone and I'm fine." Naruto said.

Obi-wan walked ahead of the Namikaze's muttering about insane blonds and how he was likely to go gray before he was forty.

Naruto looked at his wife. "You want to keep watch out here?" he asked.

Revan sighed. "Fine. go inside and play. Tell Ben to lay off the juma juice."

Naruto grinned and stepped into the bar. Obi-wan was waiting, his eyes scanning. "What do you suggest?"

"You look around." Obi-wan suggested to his friend. "I'm getting a drink."

Naruto grinned. "A drink? Really Ben, was my flying that bad?"

"Yes, and your wife is even worse." Obi-wan Kenobi said as he headed towards the bar and ordered a drink.

Naruto slowly maneuvered around the room. He could sense the bounty hunter was here, but not where.

He saw patrons drinking, playing games and betting on robot football and several pod races taking place from different venues near the outer rim.

Pod racing isn't as great as swoop racing. Those big engines mean very little. He thought after his wife had taken the time to teach him how to ride a swoop bike

Naruto continued to wander the bar, he saw Obi-wan use the force on some guy and knew he'd have to get the story of that later.

Since Padme showed up, he's become more…reckless. The thought of his friend bending the rules made Naruto smile.

Rev won't let me lock them in the Falcon's cargo hold until they have sex. I need to give him a hand or he'll be a lonely Jedi hermit on some moon living his days alone. Naruto thought.

He was just passing Ben when the Force flared and he spun at the same time that Obi-wan's lightsaber ignited and destroyed the blaster that had been aimed at his back. The bounty hunter went down as the kunai Naruto had thrown buried into her shoulder.

"Your shifter?" Obi-wan asked with a drawl.

Naruto looked at the clothes and nodded. He looked around the cantina that had fallen silent.

"Jedi business, go about your business." He said grabbed the bounty hunter's other arm, hauling her to her feet, while Obi-wan grabbed the injured one and they dragged her from the nightclub.

Revan blinked when her husband and Obi-wan dragging the bounty hunter. She recognized her.

"Zam?"

"You know her?" Obi-wan asked surprised.

"Zam Wessel. She's a Clawdite shapeshifter." Revan said, then looked at Zam. "Do you know who it was that you were trying to kill?"

Zam grunted in pain and looked at Revan. "The Senator from Naboo." She took a hard breath when Naruto removed the kunai from her shoulder.

"Who hired you?" Obi-wan demanded, his voice with a harder edge than before, Zam just glares at him. "It was just a job."

Obi-wan Kenobi, the Jedi knight known for his patience snapped, "Tell us!"

Zam glared "That senator is gonna die soon anyway, and the next one won't make the same mistake I did…" she taunted Obi-wan.

"Zam, your wound is going to need treatment." Revan said trying to appeal to the hunter.

Obi-wan cut her off. "Who hired you? Tell me…tell us now!"

Zam shot the Jedi knight a look filled with hate.

"Zam, please." Revan said.

"It was a bounty hunter called…"

There was a FTZZZ sound and Zam twitches. She blinks in surprise and reverts to her Clawdite form.

All three turn hearing a WEEEHOOOSH from above them. They turn and look up seeing an armored rocket-man taking off from a roof high above. Naruto and Revan exchange a surprised look.

Obi-wan looks down and touches Zam's neck, where he pulls out a small, wicked looking dart.

"Toxic dart." He says looking at it in the palm of his hand.

"Worse than that." Revan says looking in the direction the rocket-man had flown. "Things have gotten so much worse."

Naruto put a hand on his wife's shoulder.

:::Could someone be impersonating him?::: he mentally sent.

:::Someone stupid enough to steal that armor has a death wish. No, its him.::: Revan sent back.

"And I intend to find out why."

AN: And the chase ends and the search begins. Next time we see just what the children have gotten into and out of.
