I wrote this cause I was tired of not seeing any stories focused on Anakin. I mean come on! Its not like they don't leave any room for you to take up on parts of the books!

This Story takes place in an alternate story line that takes off after Agents of Chaos 1: Hero's Trial chapter eleven right After Han boarded Rao's ship; the 'happy dagger'

Also alternate reality because I'm having Anakin at this point be 17. And I don't really care if you hate me for it. I did it, I'm the Author. :P

Oh and take note, I'm not an engineer, and I know nothing about hyper drives.

I do not own star wars! George Lucas does so if anyone wants to sue me go ahead all you'll get is the 13 cents in my pocket. J

Part 1

Anakin watched as the ship his Father had boarded took off. His father the words ringing in his mind 'its going to be alright, you know.' He shook his head blinking back tears.

"No, dad I don't know," he swallowed as the ship disappeared into the sky. "I don't know what's going to be all right." He turned stiffly and headed home.

Anakin waked down the hall and toward his room. He knew that he wouldn't make it; after all, his sister was home.

"Anakin, you know he's not mad at you," Jaina's voice called after him. Anakin chose to ignore her and opened the door to his room.

I know you heard me. She said through the force as he close his door on her locking it from the inside.

Leave me alone, Jaina. He told her as her rummaged through the closet. He pushed a box out of the way and rummaged through some of the items behind it before he pulled out a black luggage bag. Standing up he barely missed hitting his head on a shelf that ran across the middle of his closet. Turning around he opened a drawer and began to transfer a few items from the drawer to his bag.

This isn't funny. His sister called knocking lightly on the door. Anakin! Please open up.

Anakin ignored her as he tossed the bag on his bed and frowned surveying his room. After a few seconds he smiled and walked over to a wall and pressed a button on a keypad. A drawer slid out and he walked over and took a few various electronic components out and tossed them to his bag using the force to let them land softly.

Jaina concentrated and the electronic servo's in door whirred slightly and she pushed the door sideways helping it to open. Something snapped and the door slid completely open and Jaina surveyed her brother's room and saw the pack. Her brother never turned to look at her as she walked in.

"Uh, where are you going?" She touched the leather and raised an eyebrow. Her brother walked over and lifted the bag out of her hands and shrugged.

"I don't know." He said simply as he unhooked his saber and slipped it into the bag.

"That's not an answer."

"Yes it is," He told her turning to face his older sibling. "Because I don't."

"What are you going to do hop a transport and hitch hike your way across the galaxy?!" He shrugged hugged her briefly. "You can't be serious! Does Mom know?"

"No," He replied turning back to the door. She touched his shoulder. He brushed it off and continued walking. Jaina sighed and hurried to catch up with her younger brother. He turned as he reached the hall. "Jaina, please don't tell her. I have to figure this out on my own."

"What are you? Are you turning into Jacen?!" She cried and spread her arm out to her side. "Running away from your problems? Hiding."

"No Jaina. I'm not like Jacen." He said calmly and walked down the hall. As the front door open he heard a voice in his head.

Then who are you like? She whispered silently. Anakin paused for a moment then turned left and kept walking.

"How am I going to tell Mom?" Jaina muttered leaning against the doorway.

"Tell me what?"

As he walked through the dark streets Anakin watched the smugglers, shop owners and the like carefully hoping not to be recognized. He didn't need to be so worried for practically everyone ignored him and went about their business.

Only twice did anyone stop him, the first wanted to know if he had any spare credits that he could lend to a poor old man, the second was selling tickets to some sort of high-speed race that Anakin thought had been outlawed years before. He respectfully declined the latter and put 3 cred chips in the old mans hand.

He had been walking around for about an hour when he saw a Bar that didn't look as run down as most of the joint in that area of Coruscant. Anakin walked into the dimly lit room to see that the place was practically empty being a bit to early in the day for real business to begin.

"1 Correllian whisky," Anakin told the bar manger putting down a couple of credits. Anakin looked around, a tune was playing in the background, and it wasn't one that he recognized though.

"Here you go." Anakin took a sip of his drink staring intently on the glass as he listened to the various conversations in the room.

"So," A short man told his buddy taking a large gulp of his drink. "When ya planning on taking off this rock?" The man sitting next to Anakin shrugged.

"I don't know. Hopefully today or tomorrow." The short man frowned.

"Why's that?"

"Well with all these new threats to the New Republic from the Yuzen vun or whatever, I just don't feel like sticking around," The man replied and took a large gulp of his drink.

"So what's stopping ya from leaving right now?"

"I need an engineer, one things in a fight." The short man chuckled.

"Not much chance of that with these Vuzen voz or whatever running around," He paused as he sipped his drink. "The Republics got 'em all hired."

"Man I if it weren't for those Vox I'd be off this planet and on my way to Correllia," A dancer put into the conversation sliding in the seat next to the short man. Anakin kept his eyes off them but listened intently to the conversation.

"Whys that?" The older man asked.

"'Cause I figure Croissant's the best place to be, I mean you've got the new republic and the galaxy's guardians, the Jedi, watching our backs all at once," She shrugged. "seems like one of the safest places to be to me."

If only she knew the Jedi weren't going to work with the republic anymore, Anakin thought shaking his head.

"Yah, these Yazen vug are more trouble than the Empire ever was." Anakin turned his head toward them.

"They're called the Yuuzhan Vong," Anakin said. "Not the Vuzen Voz, Vox, Vezen vog, or the Vuzen Vong, they're called he Yuuzhan Vong." The Dancer scowled at him.

"What do you know about them, kid?"

"I fought them in several occasions, while running from them."

"OH, so you're a refugee?" The short man asked. Anakin shrugged and looked back at his drink and took a sip. He wasn't lying just avoiding answering. The older man sat in silence for a minute contemplating something before he spoke.

"You looking for a job kid?"

"Uh, yeah." Anakin nodded. He wanted to get off planet… didn't he?

"Can you fix a hyper drive?" Anakin shrugged.

"Depends on the extent of the damage."

"Just answer the question," The man narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Uh… yes." Anakin paused. "Yes I can."

The man frowned and took a gulp of his drink. "You willing to got into the uncharted territory's for a job?" Anakin froze. The uncharted territory's, was he willing to go that far from home? Gulping he nodded. The man smiled lopsidedly and stood up.

"Then follow me kid, if you can fix my Hyper Drive you got a job," The man walked toward the doorway motioning for Anakin to follow him.

"Oh and the names Drel Wreis," He said over his shoulder. Anakin followed silently through the crowded streets.

Drel showed Anakin to the 'engine room' the hyper drive was in the center of the room, it was a model only slightly different than the falcons new one.

"Your ship sure is… different," Anakin had told the man when they had been heading toward the ship.

"She's Classtel model 5, state of the line in the Cortech system." Drel had answered.

Anakin scanned the Hyper drive with his eyes, nothing looked wrong with it, on the outside.

"Fix it within two hours and I'll let you come along kid." Drel handed Anakin a tool kit. Anakin looked up at the older man.

"Just two hours?"

"That's right, just two." Drel turned and walked out. Anakin walked over and set the tool kit down then slid the bag off his back and put it aside. Sitting cross legged on the floor he opened the odd tool kit, some of the tools were standard issue, others… Anakin didn't have any idea what some of them were.

He sighed and picked up a scanner. Standing he walked over to the drive and flipped the instrament on.

*

Two hours later Anakin was covered in grease but had managed to find the broken motivator and gasket and a few other problems that Anakin had no idea how to fix but had used the guess and check method to finally get the drive to work.

Five minutes after the two-hour were up Drel entered the room to find Anakin sitting cross-legged examining the more interesting tools in the kit. He quirked an eyebrow and crossed his arms.

"You done or have you just been playing around all day?"

Looking up Anakin put the tool back into its slot and stood up. "I'm done."

"So the drive will work, right?" Drel asked. Anakin shrugged.

"I believe so, but I can't give you any promises. You'll have to try to enter hyper space before you'll know."

Drel nodded, "Then come on kid, is that all your stuff?" Drel pointed to Anakins bag as the boy stood up.

"Yah, that's all I'm bringing."

"You're assuming that I'm taking you along," the man said picking up the black leather bag. Anakin narrowed his eyes as he stood. "But really, that depends on how well the drive works… doesn't it?"

"Yes sir, it does."

"Then come on kid," Drel threw the bag at Anakin and turned. Anakin smiled slightly and followed his hopefully, new captain.

They walked the ships halls till they got to the command room. There were several stations but only two men and a woman, who was a species Anakin had never heard of, were in the room. Anakin stopped at the door way as Drel sauntered in and over to the woman.

The woman looked up at him and then back at Anakin as Drel walked up behind her. Her eyes were cat like and a bright yellow. She had long black hair that was caught up in an iridescent purple headband. Two cat ears stood out and she had paws with long claws that acted as hands. A tail wrapped around her foreleg and she wore a dark blue out fit that contrasted her pale white fur.

"Katiana," Drel began. "Would you please begin flight procedures? Everyone's on board as is our cargo and I would like to see our new engineer's job worked."

"Yes sir," She said in a cat like voice sharp teeth peeking out of her mouth as she cast another glance at Anakin before requesting permission to take off from Coruscant control.

"Eagles Flight, you have permission to take off." Came the reply and after a second the ship lifted off the platform and headed out into space. Once there it launched into hyperspace heading for the uncharted regions.

TBC in next chap!
