A/N: Hello,

My name is Katia, and my friend Cassi and I collaborated on this story. It is the second book in the Darth Maleficent series. We decided that we couldn't just end it at "Return of the Padawan."

Thank You Cassi! You are the BEST FRIEND EVER and an AWESOME writer!

Without any further ado, Chapter Four! Once again, I want to thank Cassi (Casscat) for her wonderful contributions!

In the end, they bought an R2 unit. Obi-Wan looked to Adeline as the trio made their way down one of the streets.

"Are you ready to go to Jabba's?"

"I think so." She answered, absently fiddling with the edge of her cloak. Just then, there was a huge explosion and the sound of people screaming. A building had just collapsed, and several stormtroopers ran out of the dust and smoke, clutching blasters and running after a cloaked figure.

Obi-Wan sighed. "Why does this always happen?" He asked, waving at Adeline to follow him. He ran off, pursuing the figure, who ran like someone he knew... he had a nagging feeling, but shook it off. Any fugitive of the Empire was a friend of his.

Adeline ducked into a side street and scampered around people, deftly leaping over obstacles in her path. She managed to reach the figure before Obi-Wan, and called, "Follow me!"

The figure turned, running after her into an alley. Adeline leaped up onto one of the walls of a building, and to her surprise, the person followed her. When the stormtroopers ran into the alley, Adeline dropped from her hiding spot. Just as she had planned, Obi-Wan blocked the only way out. She drew her lightsaber, which was now a beautiful orange color, and smiled. "Game's up, boys. Good always wins over evil, we all know that!"

Just as she had thought, they started shooting at her. The Nubian Angel deflected all the bolts off her lightsaber, killing all the stormtroopers. She collapsed to the ground, panting.

The fugitive dropped off the side of the building, pulling off her hood, as Obi-Wan ran to Adeline's side. "Are you all right?" He asked her worriedly.

She nodded. "I think so. My shoulder hurts a bit, but I'll get over it."

A new voice, one familiar to both of them, spoke from behind. "Master Kenobi? Master Nirvana? Is that you?"

Obi-Wan looked up to find a young Togruta girl looking down at him. He grinned and stood, "Ahsoka!"

"Shh! Not so loud. That group isn't the only legion of stormtroopers around, you know."

"It's good to see you anyway." Obi-Wan said, rolling his eyes.

Adeline got up, brushing the dirt from her tunic, "Speaking of stormtroopers, we better hide these ones, unless we want them to know a Jedi was here."

Obi-Wan nodded in agreement, "I think there was a storage closet-"

Adeline rolled her eyes, "So they can find them later? No thanks."

"Well what do you plan to do?" Obi-Wan challenged.

"This." Adeline said, lighting the bodies on fire, "That'll take care of it."

Obi-Wan closed his eyes, "You are purely insane, Addie."

She grinned, "I know." Then she turned to Ahsoka, "What are you doing here anyway?"

"I'm a smuggler now, it's the only way to survive."

Obi-Wan grinned, "Ahsoka the smuggler?"

Ahsoka raised an eyebrow, "It's Sasha now, at least unofficially. Sasha Rual."

Adeline smiled. "Well, the same can be said for us. I'm Zillah Kenobi, also a smuggler, and this is Ben Kenobi, my husband."

Ahsoka laughed. "Master Kenobi? Aw, come on. I cannot believe that he agreed to that!"

The young Togruta looked at Obi-Wan, seeing a look pass between him and Adeline. "That's strange," She thought. "I'll have to look into that later..." Out loud, she said, "What are you guys doing here?

Obi-Wan sighed. "Serious matters, I'm afraid. Adeline's sister, Sadira, has been kidnapped by Darth Maleficent, and we have reason to believe that he's hiding out at Jabba the Hutt's palace."

Ahsoka grimaced. "Ooh, not fun. Jabba the Hutt is the most vile, nasty, slimy piece of junk I've ever-"

Obi-Wan cut her off with a look that said, "Adeline is nervous enough as it is. Don't scare her!"

Adeline caught sight of that and gave him a glare. Obi-Wan shrugged innocently, looking at her with slightly hurt eyes. Adeline just rolled her eyes, touched his shoulder and looked out toward the Dune Sea, where the palace was located.

"Not too far a walk, is it?" She asked.

"I suggest a speeder." Obi-Wan said, "It's more likely that smugglers would buy a speeder than walk."

"Point taken." Adeline said, "Let's go buy a speeder."

At this moment, Ahsoka spoke up, "Wait, I have a speeder, you could borrow it."

"There's no need for-"

Adeline silenced Obi-Wan, "Thank you."

"I'll come with you."Ahsoka said, "I'm stuck here for a few days anyway, while my ship gets repaired."

"You don't have to-" Adeline started but was cut off by Obi-Wan, who was grinning triumphantly.

"Thank you." He said, shooting a glance at the Angel.

She sighed, but handed Ahsoka a white cloak she had pulled out of her robes. "Here," The Angel said, "This will disguise you enough that so that we can get in to the palace."

Ahsoka pulled the cloak on, hiding her green lightsaber underneath the material. She was still wearing her old outfit, which surprised Obi-Wan quite a bit, but the cloth covered it up enough to keep her disguise. Then, they went to find the speeder, leaving the burnt pieces of stormtrooper armor and Ahsoka's black cloak in the alley.
