Chapter 5: North Pole
The northern region of Nar Shaddaa looked a good deal nicer than the other parts, indeed the rich lived here, hutts that is because very little people prefer Nar Shaddaa. Obi-wan took his ship down on a landing pad that connected to two large apartment complexes, the force told Obi-wan Anakin was in the left one. So naturally he entered it. The main lobby was nothing special and not worth the time of describing it.
Obi-wan walked up to the front desk that an old looking Ithorian operated. Amazingly he spoke basic.
" Can I help you?"
" I'm looking for somebody called Anakin Skywalker, long time friend of his."
" Just a moment let me make sure he is residing here." The being replied as he typed furiously on his computer consol.
" Yes it seems he owns the penthouse on the top of the building, should I notify him you're coming?"
" No, he hasn't seen me in years, I want it to be a surprise."
" Alright."
" Good day."
" Sure." Obi-wan strode in the direction of the turbo lift. The interior of it was actually clean, unlike most places you'd see on this hellish planet. Looking over the buttons Obi-wan pressed the top one and the little lift sped up like a bullet. Taking little under ten seconds to reach a floor about sixty stories up. The lift opened into a wide hallway with one door at the far side.
Yes this place sang with Anakin and Padmé's presence as well as two others Obi-wan didn't recognize. He went up to the door and without thinking let himself in. The main room was somewhat of a living room, it was Naboo themed with crimson red and navy blue carpet and two sofa's facing a large window at the far end. A screen that broadcasted the holonet in front of the large glass wall.
" Hello?" Obi-wan said, no one answered and sensing something was wrong he drew his lightsaber. Silently he walked up to a door, it opened into a dark room and as he entered it a blue bar of energy came toward his head. Instinctively he parried. His reflexes weren't so bad counting the thirteen years he had without sword fighting.
" Obi-wan?" Came Anakin's voice as both sabers deactivated.
" Anakin?" Obi-wan asked, then the lights came on and there before him stood his old padawan, Anakin Skywalker. Behind him Padmé and two young teenage children.
" Obi-wan! I- I thought you were dead." Anakin cried as Padmé ran up and hugged the Jedi master.
" Not dead old friend just unconscious from the fall Sidious sent me on. Force Anakin you don't know how hard it was to find you, I spent thirteen long years, and… are these your children?"
" Yes." Padmé answered smiling back at them." Obi-wan meet Luke and Leia."
" Hi Obi-wan." The children said sort of curiously. He took notice that both had padawan braids and lightsabers clipped to the belts of their clothes.
" Are you training them to become Jedi, Anakin?" Obi-wan asked with a smile on his face.
" Yes. I started when they were nine, like me."
" And did they pick up as fast on the force as you did?"
" Not only that but their saber skills are great as well."
" Good, the more Jedi the better."
" We're not Jedi yet." Luke said.
" No but you're learning." Obi-wan said. " And Anakin, Padmé, I need to talk to you."
" Alright, well go to the sparing room then children." Padmé said as she and Anakin followed Obi-wan into the living room and sat down.
" Anakin, Padmé, Bail Organa has formed a rebel alliance against Sidious's empire."
" Thank god Bail is still alive." Padmé said.
" Yes, he did say something about an alliance I think." Anakin said, his face serious now.
" He needs us to come to Yavin IV, that's where the base is." Obi-wan said.
" But, we cannot take the children there can we?" Padmé asked.
" Padmé they're Padawans, they aren't quite capable of handling Sith but if the base was attack a few droids wouldn't be so big a challenge." Anakin said.
" All right, but we cant just leave everything here. Can we?"
" Take only the few possession that you need." Obi-wan said." The rebels can provide and besides, my ship isn't nearly big enough."
" So Padmé, you don't have to take your entire wardrobe." Anakin commented playfully.
" Anakin Skywalker, my wardrobe is of no concern of yours. I'm a retired senator, I can take what I please."
" Yeah well, all I'm taking are the kids and my lightsaber, but Obi-wan that doesn't look like your lightsaber."
" Its not, when Sidious and I were fighting I broke his saber and he knocked me unconscious, or you can even go so far as to say he pushed me off a balcony, then he took my saber I think and put his crystal in it, the rest… you can guess."
" Alright master but remember that weapon is your life."
" Anakin spare me your lectures and get on with it so we can leave."
" Of course master whatever you say."
