"Your little friend is coming with me." He stated as he pulled out a small device, a red button! BOMB! "And if any of you attack me then this whole building will go up in flames."
Nobody moved a muscle as it was a four vs one glare off. And finally the healer broke the silence. "Let him go..."
"But-!" Aayla, Kit, and Obi-Wan all stammered at the same time.
"So glad you made the right choice." The Clawdite mused as he walked out, still holding the red button. When he left, everyone turned to stare at the healer in complete shock.
"So you just let him leave? With Master Shaak Ti?" Aayla exclaimed.
The healer hushed her as she activated her comlink. Master Windu answered. "Yes?"
"There's an intruder in the Temple." She informed.
"What? Where?"
"Do not prosue him. Or he'll blow us all up." She continued.
"Alright. But I'll plant a homing beacon on his ship if I can." Mace replied. "Anything else?"
"He has Shaak Ti..."
"WHAT? I THOUGHT YOU WERE WATCH OVER HER! HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?" Mace exploded. Voice booming over the small device.
"Look, I don't like it any more than you do, but if we are to save, her we must be quick." She reasoned.
Mace composed himself. "No. You are still a healer, and you will continue your duty. I will gather someone up to assist in finding Master Ti."
The connection was cut and the healer sighed, her head in her hands. "This is all my fault..."
Obi-Wan put a hand on her shoulder. "It's none of ours."
"But if I watched her! If I was there to protect her, then maybe we wouldn't be in this mess!" She exclaimed, then sunk to the floor.
Master Windu tapped his fingers as he waiting in the council chamber. He was relieved when Master Plo and Anakin both entered the room. Anakin seemed curious, and Plo was unreadable. As always.
"Thank you for getting here so soon." He told them.
Anakin nodded. Plo held his hands behind his back.
"It seems that this Clawdite bounty hunter, the same one that attacked me, has captured Master Shaak Ti." Mace explained. "You both have dealt with him, and should have an idea how to handle him."
"So we are going to rescue Master Ti." Anakin concluded.
Mace nodded. "Yes. We are."
"We?" Plo stared at him. Or at least it seemed like that. Hard to tell with his goggles.
"I will be coming with you both." Master Windu reworded it. "If we are to catch this Clawdite, then we need to hurry."
With that, the three rushed down to the landing platform, where they saw the ship take off. Master Windu smirked. With this, Anakin knitted his eyebrows and stared at him. "He just got away. Why are you smiling?"
"Because he took just the ship I hoped he would take." The dark skinned man answered, eyes locked on the ship as it left the atmosphere. Out of sight now, he looked back to Skywalker. "That one in particular is chipped. I figured he would want something fast, able to get off the planet,and able to hold a Jedi. So I told Master Gallia to chip this one. It's now a matter of following him."
Having been roughly thrown into a holding cell, she laid on her side trembling. The cold of the metal floor didn't help, and now she shivered as goosebumps rose up across her discolored, purplish-red and white skin. But she didn't feel anything. She tried to fight back, save herself. But he had come prepared for it, and used an electrically charged needle in his cuff to stun her and allow him to tie her up.
Now that she was just starting to recover, the thick haze clearing, she was a little more alert. Outside the holding cell, she watched the Clawdite as he was contacting someone. She couldn't hear him. The room was sound proofed for a reason.
Another thing was that she didn't have her lightsaber. Which means she can't cut out of the cell and get out of this place. But then again, she was also on a ship, which means she'd have to fly back to Coruscant and everything should she capture the Clawdite.
For now, she would have to hope that someone was looking for her.
