*Seppie Base, Genosis*
Axis frowned at the sudden sound of wing-beats, she'd been sneaking into the Separatist base on Genosis. After leaving the celebration of Naboo, she was sent straight to the next mission
Dressed in a dark blue tunic and dark grey leggings, with black boots, gloves and mask she slipped silently through the shadows, her hood was up so you couldn't make her out unless she was moving... and you knew she was there.
It wasn't until the wing-beats became loud that she realized she'd been spotted.
By the time she looked up she'd been surounded by the bug-like Genosisians, and one of them shoved her to the ground making her faceplant. "Ouch." She muttered, frustrated. "Another Intruder?" An oily voice said from above and behind her. "This planet is popular today. Knock her out." She felt a sharp pain in the back of her head, then she blacked out.
When Axis came to she was sitting in Force-inhibiting cuffs chained to the wall. *Well that's just plain fun!* she thought sarcastically.
The door opened and an older 'gentleman' walked in. "Count Dooku. To what do I owe the pleasure of your presence" Axis said her voice dripping with venom.
"I do not believe we have met?" He asked sounding curious. "Your reputation precedes you. *Darth Tyrannus*" Axis smiled viciously and he blanched as she mentally sent him her last comment.
"Ah huh. So you're with the Jedi? I'm not sure what to think about you calling me a Sith." He said thoughtfully. "After all I am a Jedi too."
Her smile widened as she replied, "Yet you've not heard of me? You need to get in touch with the council then."
"Yes. I will do that," he said with a faint smirk, lying through his teeth "But until then I am going to leave you here in those cuffs... can't have you attacking us, you know?"
She frowned at him, "Fine then." She responded sounding annoyed. Then once he left the room she grinned, holding back her laughter. *little does he know I've got magic... Force-inhibiting cuffs don't stop that!*
Three minutes later she was out of the cell.
Axis snuck over to the cell Obi-wan was in. "Psst!" She hissed, feeling for the heartbeats with her magic, There was only one. "Obi-wan!"
"Who said that?" Obi-wan asked suspicious, then he stared as Axis slipped in.
"Axis?!" Obi-wan asked in disbelief, raising his voice slightly. "Yes! It's me! Now please, keep your voice down." She whispered harshly, hurriedly unlocking him and helping him down.
"Hurry, follow me." She murmured, and they raced out the door, only to collide with Count Dooku.
"What the- How-" the Count drew his lightsaber, "GUARDS! However you got out, missy, you'll severely regret it." He spoke with hate in his voice, directed at Axis.
Two Genosisian Guards came up behind them and one grabbed both of Axis's arms, whilest the other guard grabbed Obi-wan's. "What are your orders?" The guard holding Obi-wan asked in clicking sounds, (the only reason Axis understood them was the RJ earpiece hidden in her ear.)
Dooku thought about it. "Take them to be prepared for execution. Make *SURE* they do not escape. Understood?" Dooku said firmly, and only once the guards gave an affirmative did he gesture for them to leave.
They did so half dragging Axis, who was giving them a hard time. Finally they knocked her out and carried her with them, knowing that she would be woken when she was chained to the execution pillar, if not before.
No one noticed the soft growl coming from the shadows, nor the shadow that followed the guards as Galli-dog trotted silently after them.
