Chapter 2
SHILI
Padmé's Nubian cruiser was in hyperspace to Shili, to see Ahsoka. Obi-Wan was hoping this was going to be fine, but the Force told him otherwise. He was sensing something bad already happened. Or it's about to happen. He didn't know. Padmé could see Obi-Wan was uneasy, as he was pacing. "It's going to be fine." She assured, but even then, Padmé didn't know what to expect.
Anakin entered 500 Republica, and felt into the Force. Padmé wasn't there. He knew it. But just in case, he took the elevator up to her floor, and knocked on the door. No response. "Padmé? Threepio?" he was whispering. Eventually he got annoyed and flew the door open. There was nobody there. He searched every room in the suite, every closet. No Padmé. No Threepio. No Obi-Wan. He began to break down into tears.
Anakin decided to tell the Jedi Council he had checked to see if Padmé knew - of course he would address her as Senator Amidala - where Obi-Wan had gone, but had found she was missing. He put together the pieces and realized they both had to be in the same place. It made sense. He contacted the Council after regaining his composure.
"News you have for us, Knight Skywalker, hmmm?" Yoda said as his hologram appeared.
"I have important news that might lead us to Master Kenobi." he stated. Several of the Council members moved forward, listening. "I decided to go see if Senator Amidala had heard from him, but I've found she's not here. I don't think there was a scheduled Senate meeting today, so I do not know where the Senator is." Anakin continued. Windu stroked his chin.
"Search for them, we must. Check the security cameras, I will." Yoda said before Anakin bowed and his hologram fizzled. Yoda slowly walked out of the room, but there was something else on his mind. He had meditated and was only given a clue. The clue was a green planet. One he did not recognize. After checking the security cameras, he decided to check the library.
The Nubian spacecraft was out of hyperspace. A lush green planet, the same as Yoda saw, was in view. "It's beautiful." Padmé said, before the ship landed in a clearing. Obi-Wan directed her to near where he felt a presence. The ramp lowered, and both of them slowly and calmly walked out, taking in the landscape. Obi-Wan searched his surroundings, and took note of a small hut near a pond, surrounded by trees.
"I think it is over there." Obi-Wan stated, pointing to the hut. Padmé nodded, and both of them walked down the trail to the hut. Padmé took a deep breath.
"How do you think she will respond to me wanting forgiveness?" Obi-Wan asked.
"I don't know." Padmé said, before nearing the hut. The hut was not in good condition. Obi-Wan had a theory that she had no real experience living on her own, as she had lived with the Jedi Order for most of her life. The windows were simply squares cut out of the wood, and the roof was a short slant upwards. The door was simple, and had a small handle that must have been carved. There was a garden to the side, which Padmé inspected.
"She's been taking good care of this garden." Padmé said. Obi-Wan smiled, before Padmé walked back to the door. Obi-Wan was about to knock, when he felt as if something were wrong. Padmé looked at him, confused. Obi-Wan opened his mouth, but nothing came out. Padmé decided to knock on the door.
Yoda was meditating. He knew where Obi-Wan and Padmé were, but didn't want to tell Anakin. He saw the situation unfold, and wondered how they would take to the sight that would appear before them. They would have to deal with it on their own. Mace Windu entered the chambers.
"Have you discovered where they are?" the Korun Master asked. Yoda nodded.
"Discover something about Padawan Tano, they will." Yoda stated. Windu sighed. This is not going to end well for Anakin's sake. he thought.
Darth Sidious, under Chancellor Palpatine's name, sat staring into the city of Coruscant. This was perfect. Anakin was going to be his. The Jedi had no way of stopping that. The Sith Lord chuckled quietly, even though there was nobody near him. Everything was falling into play. He had to change his plans in accordance to Anakin gaining a Padawan in the middle of the war, but with her out of the way forever, Anakin would become Vader.
And nobody would stop that.
Had to make a short chapter because the next one is going to be quite long. Obi-Wan and Padmé are going to discover what's in Ahsoka's hut and Anakin's going to get news. About two things.
