A Few Hours Later On Mace's Ship On The Way To Coruscant
"So what do you and the council intend to do with me now that you've caught me? "Obi wan asked Mace as he was pushed into one of the interview rooms aboard the ship .
"That is entirely up too you Kenobi " Mace Windu replied with a snarl , "you can do your self a favour and tell us where young Skywalker is or you can do things the hard way and stubbornly refuse to tell us where Skywalker is, either way you are going back to Coruscant to stand trial ".
" Well that isn't much of a choice is it ! particularly since we both know that I ' m never going to tell you where Anakin and the others are " Obi wan replied with a smirk.
Mace glared at Obi wan and then ordered of the guards to take the young man back to his cell in the brigg to think things over.
Meanwhile Back On Tatoonie
Qui gon, Satine and Anakin had reached their destination a cave deep in the desert wastelands of Tatoonie, that no-one but Obi wan and now Qui gon knew how to find.
" You and Anakin should safe here until I get back " Qui gon told Satine as he climbed back into the speeder, ready to head back to his ship too try and contact Master Yoda and check on his Padawan Ashoka as he hadn't heard from her since before Mace and the other council members arrived on Tatoonie.
The former Dutchess of Mandalore said nothing in reply she just glared at him before turning away to see too little Ani who was still upset about leaving Obi wan behind.
' Okay so she's still Mad at me then for letting Obi wan turn himself in to the council' Qui gon thought himself with a sigh as he got into the speeder and headed back out into the desert, and as he headed back towards the town and Ashoka and their ship .
Qui gon realised that he was going to have too come with a plan to rescue Obi wan soon if he wanted to gain the Dutchess's forgiveness any time soon, and if he was to do that he needed to talk to Master Yoda and have him try to stall Obi wans trial.
A Few Hours Later Back Aboard His And Ahsoka's Ship
" A grave situation this is a plan you have do you Qui gon?" Master Yoda's small blue holo image said after Qui gon had explained all that had happened on Tatoonie to him and Ashoka.
Qui gon sighed and said " I do but I will need your help if it is to work " The little Grandmaster of the order nodded and said softly " what is it need to me to do you do" , Qui gon smiled slightly and said " I need you to find a way to delay Obi wans trial while Ashoka and I rescue Obi wan from where ever Mace and others are holding him" .
At this Yoda nodded and said " talk with senator Organa about delaying the trial I will this afternoon, but move quickly to find where young Obi wan is being held you and your Padawan must Qui gon!"
"Yes master my Padawan and I will start on finding out where master Windu and the other council members are keeping Obi wan right away " Qui gon replied and then hung up.
" But master we don't know where on Coruscant master Windu and the others are taking Obi wan !" Ashoka told him, Qui gon sighed and said "there's only one place on Coruscant that's equipped to emprison a force user like Obi wan and that's the Jedi temple , Ahsoka " her master replied then he added "that's if they are indeed taking him back to Coruscant that is !" Qui gon said sadly.
Ahsoka looked surprised and said " where else would they take him Master? " Qui gon looked uncomfortable and sad as he said " there is always the citadel there's always a chance that they could take Obi wan there instead of taking him to the temple Ahsoka" Qui replied.
Ashoka stared at Qui gon and said " what's the citadel master? and why would master Windu take Obi wan there ? Instead of the temple?" Qui gon sighed and smiled sadly before saying " the citadel is prison build especially for rogue Jedi Ahsoka its designed to be inescapable and unbreachable , if Mace and the others decide to take Obi wan there we are in big trouble!"
Back On Mace's Ship As It Docks In Jedi Temple Hanger
" Take Kenobi to the detention levels as soon as we dock and be sure that nobody see's you taking him there he still has friends ,with in the order who believe him not guilty of any the crimes that he is charged with, and don't need them making a fuss about kenobi's incarceration right now" Mace the brigg guard as the ship docked in the temple hangar.
" You know my former master has probably contacted Master Yoda by now and explained everything to him and the senate and secured my release don't you Mace" Obi wan said from seat in the brigg cell as the guard clamp some force dampening cuffs around his wrists.
" Don't bank on it Kenobi , Qui gon Jinn can't save you this time and I doubt that master Yoda and senate will show you any particular favour when they find out what you've been playing happy families with the former Dutchess of Mandalore and braking every rule in the code Kenobi!" Mace windu hissed at him as he and the dragged him roughly out the cell and out of the brigg towards the boarding ramp.
Two minutes later Obi wan was pulled down the boarding by Mace and the guard , to find Yoda and Bale Organa wait for them in the hanger and neither Bale or the little green Grandmaster of the Jedi order looked very happy about the way Mace and the guard were manhandling the teenager down the ramp!
" Master Windu is it nessary to manhandle the boy like that "the senator asked as Obi wan stumbled the last few steps down the ramp as he tried keep pace with Mace and the guard .
" He is a kidnapper and a traitor senator " Mace replied as he did Yoda spoke up and said " decided yet that has not been and delayed Young Obi wan's trial is ".
On hearing this Obi wan turned to Mace and smiled as the little green master continued by saying " spoken to Qui gon Jinn I have and told me everything he has" .
"W... what he can't have "Mace Windu stammered as Yoda turned to Obi wan and said "know everything I do , help you I will".
Obi wan found that all he could do was stare in shock and surprise at Master Yoda he said this , was it really possible that Qui gon had managed to convince the little Grandmaster that he wasn't a traitor or kidnapper and he and Satine had very good reasons for not trusting the order or the senate.
And what's more had Yoda really just said that he was going too help him did that mean that Yoda was some how , going help him expose Dooku and Palpatine as the liers and traitors to both Jedi and republic that they were!
Was that why Bale Organa was here had master Yoda told him what Qui gon had revealed to him the young man wondered as the senator ordered , his own guards to take the former Padawan to his ship as Obi wan now in the custody of the senator until his case could heard by the senate.
