It took Anakin a while to remeber he had his lightsaber still on him.

but he was already being tied up, his lightsaber being removed.

way to go, Skywalker.

wait, Obi Wan had his lightsaber, right?

and then there was that familiar color of azure blue...

Obi Wan

and then the glow of red.

Dooku.

"I was hoping you'd be the ones to come here, and I'm sure you will not easily escape from Gardulla. me and her made a little deal, she gets you out of my way, I help her get you, And provide the protection from the evil, vile, republic..."

it had been a trap.

Obi Wan engaged Dooku in combat, while the droid dragged Anakin away.

the last thing Anakin saw before he rounded the corner was Obi Wan's lightsaber flinging though the air and Dooku catching it.

they never stood a chance.

they had played right into their hands.


The first thing the did was cut deep into Anakins spine, placing a force inhibitor and explosive chip inside him. suddenly, the force felt distiant and evaded his grasp, as if the force were trying to avoid him.

surely it'd be worse for Obi Wan.

Anakin watched as they did the same to Obi Wan.

at least Obi Wan was uncounsious...


Ahsoka hummed to herself. her masters should've made contact by now...

and the force told her something was off.

she tried both master's comms, to no result.

it was fine, everything was ok.

Gardulla was just-

"Ahsoka, I need you. come with me" Plo said, barging in and making her jump.

Ahsoka got up, and took off after the Jedi Master, dread settling in her stomach.

...Ahsoka was lead to the council chambers... and then she was the hologram.

with Gardulla.

and Dooku.

And her masters.
