Echo: Pretty much what Resist said, but again, thank you so much. We hope you all enjoy this chapter! Who would like to give the disclaimer?

Resist: Why not Green?

Echo: Yeah, I think he should

Green: (sighs) Fine, but I have things to do! (rolls eyes and pulls out a scroll) Resist and Echo do not own Star Wars or its characters. The end.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Apprehend Part III

Narrator POV

Arthur watched from the ground as the two masters duelled in front of him. Arthur felt a sense of uselessness as he watched his master fight for her life against Dooku. Arthur found the strength inside him to stand and summoned his lightsaber to his hand with the force.

"Your padawan is ready for round 2," smirked Dooku to Oni, while their blades were locked together, as he took a glance at Arthur.

Oni kept her anger-filled glare on Dooku, not wanting to dare look her padawan in the eyes. Stay back, Arthur.

Not an option master, answered Arthur as he ignited his blue blade and went to aid his master. Dooku used the force and pushed back Oni, and then turned his attention to Arthur. Arthur and Dooku fought ferociously and locked blades every now and then.

"I sense your feelings of fear and anger boy" said Dooku as he and Arthur locked blades again.

"You sense nothing" said Arthur, trying his best to block out Dooku from his mind.

As the two continued to fight, Dooku began reading Arthur's facial expressions as they fought. "It was your parents you lost wasn't it?" asked Dooku in a knowing voice. Arthur couldn't help but think of his parents and it was plain as day on his face.

Kao tried to keep up with the two, but she could see that this fight was between Dooku and Arthur. The Jedi Master could feel the hate radiating from her Padawan, and feared he would lash out.

Arthur, breath. Dooku is only trying to provoke you. You must control your feelings!

"Tell me boy, how old were you?" asked Dooku rhetorically, "Seven?" he asked.

Arthur was doing his best to focus on his master's voice, while he fought with Dooku, but he was stumbling.

"None of your business" said Arthur, who distanced himself from Dooku, giving his master a chance to jump in the fight, as Arthur was getting tired.

Oni stood back in case she would be in danger of Arthur's wrath. That's it, young one. Control!

Dooku, almost immediately, started to close the gap between him and Arthur trying to push his advantage over the boy.

"How long do you think you can last boy?" said Dooku trying to get the boy to slip into the dark side. "I can feel your anger and hatred," smirked Dooku, "Join the dark side, Arthur. You have much hate inside you"

"Never!" yelled Arthur as he tried to go on the offensive, but Dooku expected this and sidestepped his attacks and made contact with Arthur's back as Arthur's momentum carried him forward. Arthur then fell to the ground again.

Oni's golden eyes narrowed in determination. She ignited her lightsabers and began jogging towards Dooku, who seemed calm about the whole ordeal. Just before her blades rose to swipe at the count, the ship shook violently and made all three lose their balance.

"General!" Green's voice came through Kao's comm., "Our distraction has failed. Have you found Dooku yet?"

Master, I think it's time to go, grunted Arthur to his master in pain, as he moved to stand back up after taking a swipe in the back from Dooku, not to mention his knee as well. After getting up, Arthur immediately looked around for Dooku, but saw him making his way toward the middle of the room, in which a meditation rug sat. From stories back at the Temple, the young Jedi knew that this rug was also a secret escape route.

Arthur started to go after him, but Dooku sensed him and turned around and shot lightning off his finger tips at Arthur, who blocked it with his lightsaber, but it gave Dooku enough time to make his escape.

Using the Force to lift the rug, the Sith Lord ceased the bolts and hopped down the chute. Oni snorted at this and began running towards the hatch. "Arthur," she stopped just above the hole, "Stay here unless either Green or myself inform you otherwise." With that, the Master backflipped into the tunnel after Dooku. Before Arthur could object to this, his master was gone.

Arthur stood there for what seemed like hours, but he actually only stood there for about a couple seconds, but felt that he should go after his master, so he deactivated his blade and jumped down the hatch to catch up with his master, with his hilt still in his hand.

Arthur came to the end of the hatch and dropped down into a hangar bay, but what he saw shocked him. There was nobody present, not even Oni. He searched the hangar in a panic looking to find his master, but came up empty. He was about to call Green, but something shinned out in the distance from where he stood. He went over to it, but as he drew closer a frown formed on his face, as he found one of his master's lightsabers.

"Green!," came the frantic voice of Arthur over the comm system.

"What is it, kid? You and Oni better hurry up. I don't know how much longer my boys and I can hold of the Seppies."

"Kao is gone. She ordered me to stay back, but when I caught up to where she was suppose to be with Dooku, she wasn't there." came back Arthur. Arthur was worried on the inside. He was without family since he was nine, but somehow that void was filled when he became Master Kao's padawan, but now she was missing and he felt alone and abandoned again.

"What?! Agh! Where are you? Can you steal a ship and get off that ship? We'll try and trace her comm."

"On my way," with that, Arthur strapped his master's lightsaber to his kama, along with putting his back into the other holster on his kama, and stole a ship from the separatist command ship and headed back toward his master's Jedi Cruiser. After landing, he made his way to the bridge to meet Green.

"What have you got?" replied Arthur has he entered the bridge, not wasting any time on finding his master.

Green turned from the holotable with his helmet off, which clearly showed his stress. "I don't know, kid," he sighed and took in a heavy breath, "We can't find her anywhere. Wherever Big Grumpy took her, he was smart enough to disable her comm. link."

"We have to keep looking! She's out there somewhere and alive, I can feel it," replied Arthur, stressed and anger was clearly visible on his face as he spoke to Green.

Green slammed his palm onto the edge of the holotable. "I want to see her back just as much as you, Arthur, but it's not that easy."

"Then what is our next logical move then?" asked Arthur, trying to calm Green down, as well as himself, "Talk to Master Yoda?" suggested Arthur to Green. The man looked at the Padawan with hardly any hope in his amber gaze. "There's nothing we can do, kid," he said.

One Week Later

Arthur and Green were still pulling out all the stops to search for their missing comrade and friend, but still had nothing to go off of.

"We have to find her," said a nervous Arthur, "I don't want to get shipped off to a third master. Two is enough," said Arthur to Green, who was right beside the kid, going over holomaps and anything else they had at their disposal to find something.

"Like I said before," the clone commander pinched the bridge of his nose, "I want her back as much as you do if not more. But we cannot do much in this situation. You should let the Jedi Council take care of this, Arthur. I'm sure they have more contacts than we do."

Arthur stood up from his seat next to Green and made his way to contact Master Yoda and the Jedi Council. He wasn't looking forward to this meeting, although he suspected that the Jedi Council already knew that Master Kao was taken prisoner, and now on some random planet in the galaxy. Arthur made his way to the command room and contacted Coruscant.

"Arthur," Jedi Master Mace Windu greeted with a polite nod, "How has your search been going?"

"Same as last week master. Commander Green and I have been searching through all we can get our hands on, but we are still coming up empty," replied Arthur with a heavy heart.

"I could arrange for you to speak with Yoda," the master said, "After all, Oni was his Padawan. He wants her back just as much as any of us." Windu looked at Arthur with concern, obviously sensing the lack of patience and calm.

"I appreciate the offer Master Windu," replied Arthur bowing slightly.

"Very well," Windu said with a dip of his head, "Return to Coruscant with Commander Green. Master Yoda will be available by the time you arrive." He paused to give the young one a slight smile, which was very rare to find from the High Councilman. "Have patience, padawan. We will find your master. May the Force be with you."

"Thanks Master Windu," with that Arthur ended the transmission and went to give Green the news that they had to leave and head to Coruscant.

Arthur made his way through the ship and found Green talking to a couple pilots in the hangar. As he approached the man, he said with hope, "Green we have to head to Coruscant and meet with Master Yoda. He is going to help us with our search."

Green gestured for his men to leave and turned to Arthur. His helmet was on, preventing the Jedi from seeing his expression. "I hope that old Jedi can give us some good intel. The fact that Dooku hasn't placed a ransom or sent anything is quite strange. You better pray that it's not too late." The clone folded his arms across his chest and heaved a sigh in frustration. "I'll go speak with the captain and get us under way."

Arthur cringed at Green's words about how Oni may not be alive, because of no ransom demands, but he fought to keep his mind clear and focus on the hope that Master Kao was still alive. He wanted her back right now because she filled a hole in his life that was dug when he lost his parents to gang violence. Arthur decided to get some time alone before they reached the Jedi Temple, so he went to his quarters.

(Jedi Temple)

Arthur and Green made their way off of their Jedi cruiser, the Benevolence, and started toward the hangar where they were suppose to meet Master Windu, who would take them to Master Yoda.

Once the two were walking through the hangar, they spotted the Jedi by a gunship. There was also another person standing close by with a helmet on, concealing their identity. "Ah, Padawan Perry," Windu said with a nod and smile. He looked down to Yoda by his side. "Master Yoda was able to pull some contacts and found someone with the abilities to help you."

The dark skinned Jedi Master then waved a hand towards the feminine looking figure.

"Who's the guest?" asked Arthur fixing his gaze on the figure concealing their identity, the curiosity in his voice wasn't very hard to miss. "A bounty hunter?" Green inquired with a cautioned tone. Both looked to Yoda for an answer.

"Answer to our problem this person is," replied Master Yoda, shifting his position slightly to balance himself on his cane. "Well, who is she?" the commander asked with impatience.

The woman remained silent as she faced the group. Slowly, she removed her helmet. Once it was off, her eyes pierced into Arthur's. "Hello again."

"Mia!?" replied Arthur, louder then he wanted to. He kept his gaze on her electric blue eyes and began to look her over, scanning her new get up. Mia merely smirked and removed her gaze from the boy for a moment. "I guess you haven't forgotten," she snickered.

"Forgotten what?," replied Arthur with a smirk of his own, but looked quickly away from Mia, putting his head down, feeling himself start to blush. Arthur always had trouble hiding his true feelings from Mia, but now that he was in her presence after such a long time, it made it even harder for him to conceal his feelings that he had toward her.

"Me," she said with a snark, "Perhaps they haven't brainwashed you after all." Her bright blue eyes held something hidden, but she concealed it well. The young woman stood tall and with pride as she always had. If she had noticed his blush, she said nothing about it.

Windu raised a brow to the two before stepping forward. "Anyways," he said whilst glaring at both, "We need to debrief you both on the current plan."

"Yes master" replied Arthur bowing his head to Windu. The group moved from the hangar they were all standing at to the communications room, where they would begin a proper briefing for Arthur, Green, and Mia.

As they all entered the communications room, the lights went dark and the holographic projector came on, displaying a picture of Master Kao.

"Brief you we must," came the raspy voice of Master Yoda, "abducted Master Kao was by Dooku, know this however already you do" said Yoda who still wasn't done talking yet, "Knew we were coming already Dooku did, believe a traitor among us there is." finished Yoda.

"So you want us to find this traitor so he can tell us where Count Dooku has Master Kao?" questioned Arthur, who received a nod from Master Yoda. Windu sighed lightly and turned to face them, "The tricky part is finding this traitor. So far, we don't have any leads. All we know is that only the Jedi Council, your Master, you, and the clones knew about it."

"What is the likelihood that the traitor is part of the Jedi Council?" asked Arthur, who never thought that he would be asking this type of question. Everyone else in the room gave Arthur a confused and shocked glance except for Master Yoda, who sighed in grief. "That remains a possibility," Windu managed to say, shaking his head slightly, "That is why we are trusting the two of you to find out since you are not on the Council."

"How do we do that?" Mia asked, resting her hands on her hips.

"Up to you the answer to that question is" replied Master Yoda with a sigh of grief at the end. "Little time do we have to find this traitor we do, sense a disturbance in the force I do."

"Your master doesn't have much time," Windu said gravely. He looked at the hologram of Kao before turning to Arthur, "Hurry now, young Padawan."

Windu and Yoda gave the three a crisp nod before leaving the communications room. Green turned to the two with a raised brow. "So, what do you have, kid?"

"We need a plan to lure out this traitor so that we can get the location of Master Kao from them," replied Arthur, who was trying to formulate a plan to get his master gave an approving nod, though he was skeptical. "And how do you suppose that we lure out this traitor?" Mia asked, leaning against the holotable, giving Arthur a smirk.

"Well, what if we planted information about where we are heading next and maybe this traitor will act on it?" asked Arthur, who was looking for approval from the other two. Mia smiled at this and snickered, "That's actually a pretty good plan. That Jedi stuff might be working." Arthur just gave her a glare.

"There's nine members of the Council that we need to tell. That means 3 for each of us. We need to come up with nine sets of coordinates, split them between us, and decided who is going to tell who," Arthur said. "I'll take Fisto, Rancisis, and Piel" suggested Arthur.

"I know Kenobi, Koon, and Ti," Green suggested. Mia looked in between them and raised a brow, "I guess I'll take whoever is left." The clone chuckled, "That would be Eeth Koth, Ki-Adi Mundi, and Adi Gallia." The woman's look did not change at all. "I have no idea who they are."

"What should we use as coordinates to set up the traitor?" asked Arthur.

"I say we pick planets that have fleets stationed nearby," the marshal commander stated firmly, "It would be easier to escape an attack in that case."

"Sounds like a plan to me" replies Arthur very cool and collected..

"So what do we tell them exactly?" Mia asked, looking between the two.

"We just need to tell them what the coordinates are and to also tell them not to share this information with the other Council members on Yoda's instructions in case something goes wrong." replied Arthur making eye contact with Mia once again. She smirked back, "I like this plan."

"We will just have to check in with Admiral Brooks about our plan, and we should be good" replied Arthur scratching the back of his head. "I'll contact him right away, Commander," Green said with a nod.

Resist: Well Chapter 7 is in the books folks!

Echo: And might I say that it was very….what's the word….dramatic! Wouldn't you say, Arthur?

Arthur: Whatever, I finally got to see Mia again. It only took you guys another bagillion chapters!

Resist: I don't think anyone wants to read a story that has a bagillion chapters about you and your troubled love life (starts to chuckle).

Echo: That's a bit harsh, but I agree. Sorry, Arthur, but I'm sure most people came for the action and awesome Jedi tricks.

Arthur: Yeah yeah, don't forget to leave your reviews ladies and gents for The Joker and Harley Quinn!

Echo: Speaking of DC, I'll be posting a new fanfic about The Batman series. So if you really love the Caped Crusader, please check in and give it a look. And, what's even better is that Resist will be posting a Young Justice fanfic! Please make sure that you stop and give it a ton of reviews. Go ahead and drown him in reviews. (falls out of chair laughing)

Resist: Thanks, but I don't know if it will be better. I'm still not sure when I'll be posting, still working on the first chapter.

Arthur: Wow! You two are unbelievable! Anyway review and may the force be with you more than these two (points to Resist and Echo)
