AN: Shoutout to ichigo urahara shihoin for helping with this fic. Whether you know it or not you have been a big help with writing this fic. So thank you.
The three Jedi and bounty hunter looked at the headless body and let their relief into the force.
The silence was broken a second later by Rex.
"General!" Rex shouted through the comm. "They are trying to quarantine us!"
"Wait What!" Anikan shouted. "Who's trying to quarantine you?"
"The mandalorians!" Rex said. "They say that we are infected."
Anikan looked at Obi wan.
"I'll find Satine and see what's happening." Obi wan said. "You get to Rex and see what's going on."
"And what about us?" Ventress asked almost hissing.
"We can take care of the bodies." Quinlan said.
With that, they went their separate ways.
Obi wan found Satine in her study. "Knock knock." The bearded Jedi said.
Satine turned around and saw the gore covered Jedi and nearly gagged.
"What?!" Obi wan asked alarmed. "What's wrong?"
Satine pointed at him and he looked down.
"Oh." Obi wan said. "Where is a room that I can use the refresher and change."
Satine walked him to a room and pointed at the refresher.
Obi wan showered for what seemed to be the ninth time before he finally felt clean. He toweled off and wrapped the towel around his waist before walking out to the room.
Anikan
Anikan made it back to padmé's room and saw mandalorian guards outside her door.
"What's going on here?" He asked. "Where are Rex and the rest of the 501st?"
"They have been detained till they have been given a full exam to make sure that they are not contagious to the senator or your padawan." One of the guards said.
"Let me see my wife and padawan." Anikan said. It was more of a demand than him asking permission.
The guards sidestepped and allowed him entry.
When he got into the room. Padmé was sleeping and ahsoka was receiving treatment for the force lightning.
"Doctor." Anikan said startling the man. "What did you do to the 501st!" He demanded.
"They are clones, and have been many places, we don't know what they may have contracted. Therefore I ordered that they be put in quarantine until they have 'ALL' been examined."
Anikan didn't like it, he hated feeling useless. "Fine." He said. "How are ahsoka and my wife and twins?"
"Your padawan will require bedrest for at least a week." The doctor said. "Unless you and the others preform an force healing trance on her, then it will be three days."
Anikan felt that he was telling the truth. But just to be on the safe side. "If anything happens to her on your watch..." he said controlling his voice and breathing. "...and I will fire you out of a blaster cannon and into an exploding star. Am I understood?"
The doctors eyes got big and he said. "I understand perfectly clear."
"Good." Anikan said. "My wife and twins?"
"They will need another force healing trance tomorrow morning, and every day until we find a cure." The doctor said.
"Okay. And where are my troops, so I can check on them?" Anikan asked.
Vos And Ventress.
Both asajj and Quinlan looked at the body's.
"Of course skywalker would have To eviscerate Maul." Ventress said fuming.
Quinlan used the force to pick up the remains, (if you could call them that,) and put them in the bio bag. Then they took them to the incinerator.
"Now that that's done." Quinlan said suggestively. "Let's go back to the ship and..."
Ventress put a finger to his lips and said. "You had me at Let's."
They made their way back to the ship.
Kenobi.
Obi wan walked into his room and saw Satine sitting in a chair.
"Hello." She said.
Obi wan felt his blood begin to heat and he attempted to hide in the refresher.
She walked to the door and said. "Is something wrong?"
"I'm in my lifeday suit and your in my room Satine." Obi wan said. "If Anikan were here then he'd have a field day." He said to himself. "I'm so glad he's not here."
"Are you afraid to be with me?" Satine asked.
"That's not it at all." Obi wan said.
"Then why hide from me?" She asked.
"Because I don't have a thing to wear." Obi wan said.
"There is a change of clothes for you." Satine said.
"Then could you give them to me?" He asked.
"You need a shave." Satine said. "Your beard is unbecoming if you."
"I happen to like my beard." Obi wan countered.
"Did you not wish to propose?" Satine asked.
"Did Anikan day something?" Obi wan said harshly.
"No." Satine said. "Do you know that you talk in your sleep? I could have said yes and we could have been married. But I chose not to, and wait for you to ask me while conscious."
Obi wan blushed. "Yes I wish to propose, but I wanted to wait for the right time."
"How about a long engagement till you are ready to?" Satine asked.
Obi wan thought about it and eventually decide that it could work. He opened the door a crack and said. "You're quite sure that you want to do that?"
"Are you a member of the council any more?" She asked.
"No." He responded.
"Then yes." Satine said.
And Obi wan opened the door the rest of the way.
Anikan.
Anikan made his way to the quarantine zone and felt Rex's presence. Rex felt agitated. Not under duress or distress.
Anikan used the force to open the door and went in.
"General!" Rex said. "Are you really going to let them keep us here?"
Before he could answer the doctor in charge care over and said. "Excuse me trooper, but are you aware of the chips implanted in your brains?"
"What!" Rex And Anikan said in unison.
"Yes." The doctor said. "There are chips implanted into your brains. It appears that your and your men's entire lives are planned out in a series of orders."
"What does that mean doc?" Anikan asked.
"As far as I can tell." the doctor said. "Your men have their orders given to them remotely. And it just turned to order 63."
"Rex. Is that bad?" Anikan asked.
"I don't know sir." Rex said. "I don't know anything about any order 63."
"May I?" Anikan asked.
"Of course sir." Rex said.
Anikan concentrated on Rex, he felt the chip in the force and he felt darkness, he used the force to pull on the chip and felt pain.
Anikan looked at Rex who was on the ground holding his head.
"Rex!" Anikan yelled.
After a few minutes Rex got up and said. "I don't know, I can't explain it. It was like an ice cream headache sir. A real bad one, like I'd eaten an entire one by myself."
The doctor grabbed Rex and made a micro incision in his head after numbing the area. He cut through the skull and said. "If you please Master jedi." The doctor said . "Please use your force to get the chip out."
Anikan found the chip with the force and guided the chip out through the incision.
The doctor took it and examined it. "I'll start surgery right away and get as many of the chips out as soon as I can."
"Thank you doctor." Anikan said. "Can I take Rex with me?"
"Let me spray this and place this bandage, and yes. You can take him now." The doctor said.
Rex and Anikan made their way to padmé's room.
Padmé's room
Anikan got to padmé's room and said. "What news do you have for me doc?" He asked.
"I have two solutions." The doctor said.
"What!?" Anikan asked the hope rising in his throat.
"Drox or surgery." The doctor said.
"I won't eat drox!" They heard padmé say. "I'd rather have a dozen surgeries than eat a single drox."
"What's a drox sir?" Rex said.
"It's a force eater." Anikan said. "And if you eat them they you get immortality."
"What's the problem sir?" Rex asked.
"You have to eat them alive, and they can latch onto your mouth if you don't eat them quickly." Padmé said.
"That does sound unpleasant." Rex said.
"It's your choice padmé." Anikan said. "While you decide I'm going to meditate."
With that Anikan sat down and began to meditate.
AN: so this is probably the longest chapter I have so far. Let me know what you think. Yes I did put Obi wan in a compromising situation, it was meant to be more comedic rather than inappropriate. And you know where Quinlan and asajj's minds are. And yes those are my three options to help padmé if you think of another one that might be just as good or better, let me know.
