Chapter 22- Moment of Attack
Midnight…
Ava's van was parked at the front steps of city hall. The Jedi, Ava, and Taren unloaded onto the front steps. They shared a glance as they stared up at the large building.
"Anakin, are you sure the tracker was correct?" Obi-wan whispered to Anakin who stood beside him.
"Yeah, it's coming from right under the building," Anakin confirmed.
Obi-wan nodded. Suddenly, the front doors to the city hall building opened. Danison and a number of his security officers stormed down the steps and surrounded the Jedi. Taren pulled Ava behind him as the guards surrounded them too. They raised their blasters at them. Obi-wan glanced up past them to see the Governor walking down the steps. Aran Blyth stopped behind his men, but still visible to them.
"Welcome to city hall," Blyth said. "I see you have followed my orders and have brought the Jedi to me, Miss. Ava. I already have the girl, Monroe, in my custody. Officer Greyhelm was kind enough to hand deliver her to me."
Blyth placed a hand on Danison's shoulder. Danison smirked at the praise. However, Obi-wan and the others glared at him.
"Now that I have the rest of you," Blyth continued. "I can happily turn you over to Count Dooku for a nice profit."
"Alright you have us," Anakin started. "But you promised you would release Halla to her husband. Where is she?"
"Don't worry," Blyth said. "I'm a man of my word. I will send someone to retrieve to retrieve her now."
He whispered to Danison. The man nodded and ordered one of his men to go retrieve Halla. Once the man disappeared inside, Blyth turned back to the others.
"Greyhelm, let us escort our guests inside while they wait for their friend," Blyth said. "I'll send you to the cell bay once you are sure your friend is safe. I promise."
Obi-wan raised an eyebrow, but didn't argue with the man. Before they were led in, they were quickly searched for weapons. They were clean. They were then led inside the building and into a large main hall. The Jedi were lined against the wall still at blaster point. Ava and Taren were led over to a bench and forced to sit while they waited.
Sasha opened her eyes from her mediation. A small smile appeared on her face.
"What is it?" Satine asked from beside her on the floor.
"The Calvary has arrived," Sasha said. "Wake the others."
Satine nodded and moved over to wake Padme and Halla. Sasha stood and moved her way over to the door. She placed a hand to the door and focused in on the force. She could sense a someone coming down the hall toward their cell. Sasha then opened her eyes and with the aid of the force leapt up to the ceiling and grabbed a hold of the supports. Once in position, she put a finger to her lips as a signal to the others in the cell to keep quiet. The cell door then opened.
"You,' the officer said pointing to Halla. "You're coming with me. Your husband is here to take you home."
Halla's eyebrows raised in surprise as she looked at the others.
"Wait, what about the others?" Halla questioned as Satine and Padme helped her to her feet.
"They are to remain here," the officer said as he now entered the cell. "Now come on, we don't have all night."
Sasha smiled as the officer was finally right under her. As he extended his hand for Halla to take, Sasha leapt down from the ceiling and knocked out the guard with a solid hit to the back of his head. The officer crumbled to the floor, unconscious. Sasha then pulled one of the wraps off her body and proceeded to wrap the man's arms and legs together with it. She looked up to the others.
"Are you guys okay?" Sasha asked with a smirk.
"Yeah, we good," they all said with a nod.
"Excellent," Sasha said. "Time for a prison break."
Sasha made her way over to the cell door and checked the hallway. It was all clear. She then gestured to the others to follow. The three women exited the cell behind Sasha. However, before Sasha closed the door, she rushed back in and started to loot the officer's pockets and pouches. She grabbed his security cylinder, his baton, his blaster, and his commlink. However, as soon as Sasha grabbed it, the commlink went off.
"Catan, do you have the woman?" a voice on the other end asked. 'Catan, do you copy?"
Sasha recognized the voice to belong to Danison. She glanced at the others who were still waiting for her in the hall. Sasha dropped the commlink and stomped on it with her boot killing the connection. She proceeded to exit the cell and closed the door behind her.
"We are going to have company," Sasha warned. "Padme, take this." She handed the Senator the blaster. "I need you to help me take down anyone who gets in our way. Stun them. There is no reason we have to injury anyone. Duchess, protect Halla at all costs. When the fighting starts, you two take cover."
Sasha then placed the cylinder into her pocket as she extended the baton to its full length. Before she said anything else an alarm blared through the complex.
"Let's move!" Sasha ordered.
They started to make their way toward the lift that would get them out of there.
They had been waiting awhile since the officer left to get Halla. Obi-wan glanced at Anakin as they both shared the same thought that Sasha may have intervened. They then both looked back at Danison and Blyth as they were both pacing.
"Damn it, where the hell is he?" Blyth cursed. "Get him on the horn now!'
Danison stopped pacing and grabbed his commlink. He then placed a call to his officer.
"Catan, do you have the woman?" Danison demanded. "Catan, do you copy?"
Nothing. No answer. Danison was about scream into the commlink in the hopes that his officer would hear him and respond. Instead all he heard was the line go dead.
"Kriff," Danison cursed as clutched the commlink in a death grip.
"What?" Blyth asked.
"His commlink has been disabled," Danison explained. "Which means that the Jedi took him down. We've got a breakout on our hands."
"Then why are you just standing there?" Blyth seethed. "Get your ass down there and stop that Jedi brat and bring the women to me this instance. Kill her if you have to!"
Danison straightened, saluted, and grabbed a handful of his men to go deal with Sasha. Obi-wan and Anakin exchanged another glance before turning their attention back to Aran Blyth. The man was beyond pissed. He turned his attention toward the Jedi. He stormed over to Obi-wan and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. Obi-wan raised an eyebrow up at him.
"Yes?" Obi-wan asked sincerely.
"You ordered your apprentice to do that, didn't you?" Blyth asked through gritted teeth. "You did it through your Jedi telepathy or whatever the hell you call it?"
Obi-wan shook his head.
"I didn't tell her anything," Obi-wan said. "In fact, I haven't had contact with her since this morning."
"Plus, that's not how the force works," Anakin butted in. "This is."
Anakin lifted his hands and force pushed Blyth and the remaining officers away from them. Obi-wan adjusted his collar as he stood up from the bench.
"Ah that was nice," Anakin commented with a smirk. "Feels good to do that again."
"I bet it does," Obi-wan said then turned his attention to the Governor, who was picking himself off the floor. "I think it's time to stop pretending and return to being Jedi."
"Agreed," Ahsoka and Cayden commented.
Blyth stood and glared at the Jedi, who now all stood in ready stances. Blyth clenched his fists.
"Take them down!" He ordered his men.
The officers picked themselves off the ground.
"This is where the fun begins," Anakin said with a smirk as they stood off against Blyth and his men.
