Chapter 8

Anakin felt the commotion outside, Lumi had been taken. Now Strat would follow discretely. They knew that the Senator liked to view the merchandise before sent off, so they were hoping that they could catch him on holivid before she was sent off. There was something strange going on though. He went out there and noticed several bodies cut down, the slavers. Something had gone wrong, terribly wrong.

Cha, Strat, Obi Wan, get out here now, Anakin sent urgently. This mission had to be aborted.

Strat came up first. "I saw from a distance," he said, out of breath. "Some sort of Jedi Warrior with a red light sabre, I think it was a Sith."

Cha and Obi Wan then arrived. "A Sith? Are you sure?" Anakin asked.

"It wasn't a Jedi, that's for sure," Strat said, "He came out here and started to kill the men who had Lumi, but they managed to get her away before he could take her. She was unconscious." They all looked concerned.

"Alright," Anakin said, "We need to get Lumi back, this mission's aborted," they all nodded in agreement. "I'll get to the transport, Cha get into position, Strat tail the Senator," Strat ran off to find him, "Obi Wan, smuggle aboard the ship, more than likely that Sith will try to get her again and we will need all the hands we can get." They all nodded and dispersed. Time was of the essence.

Lumi woke up, she was tied up in a holding cell with several other girls. She could hear men conferring outside.

"…get them off quickly," one man was saying.

"What about inspection?" another asked.

"This load is dangerous, we need to get them off, that was a Jedi, man, they can't remain here!"

"We have to wait for the pilot." the guy replied.

On cue it seemed another presence arrived. "When do you want to leave?" Anakin said. As they trailed away. Lumi felt safe, she was away from the Zabrak for now at least, but they weren't going to get the evidence they required unfortunately.

-----------------

"Master," Darth Maul said kneeling down.

"What did you think you were doing!" Darth Sidious said angrily. "It isn't time to show the Jedi we are here yet!"

"I'm sorry, my Master," Maul said humbly, "It was that girl, she bewitched me."

"She has seen you now, so must be dealt with. Find her and take her to our castle, there you may do with her as you wish, but only in between following our plan, do you understand? "

"Yes my Master," Darth Maul said bowing out. A smile on his face. He couldn't wait to have the girl in his hands.

"Oh, and Darth Maul, the Senator is about to be found out. Kill him. Nothing should be traced back to me," Sidious said cold bloodedly.

----------------------

Anakin approached the drop off point. Cha and Strat were in position. Obi Wan was standing by to get Lumi out. Just as they were about to make their move, the Zabrak Sith came out of no where and started to cut the slavers down. Lumi was in the middle, Anakin could feel real fear coming from her. Anakin jumped down, but Obi Wan made it first. The Zabrak turned to hit Obi Wan with his double ended sabre. They started to move away, Obi Wan blocking every move, the sabre's flashing like quick lightning. Anakin was about to follow when the Sith moved a severed limb and closed the door, blocking him and Obi Wan off. All Anakin and his friends could do was try to get to Lumi who was tied up, gagged and unconscious, surrounded by slavers. In the sky, they could see ships coming down. More slavers. Cha, Strat and Anakin had a big fight on their hands.
