Obi Wan's POV
The council was in session. Obi Wan stood before them, waiting to receive his assignment. Yoda looked grave "Captured by Dooku, Skywalker and Ahsoka have been" he said after some thought. Master Windu said briskly "Master Kenobi, you will go and rescue Skywalker and his padawan. Master Plo will go with you"
Yoda, looks troubled, thought Obi Wan. "Be careful you must. Expecting a rescue, I sense Dooku is. Hurry you should." "Yes master. We shall leave immediately" Obi Wan and Plo Koon bowed and left the council chamber.
Anakin's POV
Anakin screamed and writhed in agonising pain as the electricity flowed through him. Barely healed wounds from the day before tore open and began to blead again. Dooku said something but Anakin couldn't think straight, couldn't work out what he had said. All he could think about was the pain, wishing it would stop. Seconds stretched on for eternity but still, he refused to tell Dooku anything.
Although the world was a blur, Anakin could make out movement behind Dooku. Dooku obviously sensed it as he turned around.
Obi Wan's POV
"Master Kenobi, what a pleasant surprise. I did not think that you were so rash. This is something I would have expected of Skywalker, but not you." "You'll find I'm full of surprises" replied Obi Wan, charging at Dooku. Dooku blocked, forcing him to step back. Dooku pressed forwards, never leaving himself undefended, never letting up the attack, slowly sending Obi Wan further and further back. Obi Wan was an incredible duellist, one of the best in the Jedi order, but it was obvious that Dooku had the upper hand.
That didn't matter because Obi Wan's goal was not, as Dooku had assumed, to win the duel and free Anakin. Obi Wan's aim was merely to keep him distracted long enough for Master Plo to free Anakin.
Anakin's POV
Obi Wan had begun to duel Dooku, though he was hopelessly outmatched. Even through the somewhat distracting agony of the electricity, Anakin could tell that he was losing. Suddenly, the pain stopped. The restraints around his wrists and ankles opened and he fell to the floor with a groan. Master Plo helped him up. Anakin leaned on him, still shaking. As soon as he could speak, he asked "Where's Ahsoka?"
"I am sorry, Skywalker. I cannot sense her." "But" he protested "she has to be here, Dooku-" Anakin then realised that it had all been a bluff. He was growing weaker by the second, but he didn't care "We have to find-" he blacked out.
Anakin woke up aboard a separatist ship. At first, he was worried, thinking that the rescue had failed, and Obi Wan had been caught or killed. But then he realised that the gashes on his back had been bandaged, and that Obi Wan was sitting in the corner, waiting for him to wake up.
He pushed himself upright, wincing "Anakin, you're awake!" remarked Obi Wan "Obviously" he retorted "Ahsoka?" "I'm sorry Anakin. There was no sign of her. She wasn't on the ship." Anakin was dismayed, Ahsoka could be anywhere in the galaxy by now, if she was even alive. Anakin clenched his fist at the thought of it. "We have to find her." "We will, Anakin. But first, we must get you back to the temple to rest. You can't do anything for her in your condition" said Obi Wan firmly. Anakin desperately wanted to argue but something in his master's face told him that it would be no use.
