Mace sighed and rubbed his forehead before standing up and leaving the cockpit. "Skywalker, take the controls. I'll be back in a moment." With that, Anakin slipped past him and took a seat in the pilot's seat. Mace barely caught a glimpse of the natural relaxed look that came to his face just by being behind the controls of the ship. Well at least he could be sure the ship was in good hands. Maybe...

He walked to the back and contacted the Temple. With his absence, Yoda woulld take over until he returned. So it was no surprise when the small stooped creature appeared on the holocron.

"Master Windu, something to report have you?"

Mace nodded. "Yes, we've been tracking the bounty hunter and by where he's heading, it appears to be that he's heading for Tatooine."

Yoda didn't even flinch. "Young Skywalker's homeworld... Come with you Kenobi has not?"

"No, Master." He answered, shaking his head. "I felt he should recover before I send him on any mission."

"Then watch the boy you must. Must metal turbulance I sense." Yoda told him. "Without Obi-Wan with him, look to you for guidance he might. Let him stray do not."

"I understand." Then he added anotehr question. "So I should just pry should he start acting strange."

The smaller's ear twitched. "Said this I have not."

"It was implied." With that he closed the transmission and returned to the cockpit. There he peered over Anakin's shoulder as he walked the boy set the coordinates for Tatooine. He had to believe Yoda when he said that he would have to watch the boy. But why him?

Shaak Ti jolted awake as the ship landed. Well maybe not awake, more like she was suddenly much more alert. In fact, she was feeling a lot better now in comparison to what she appeared to look like in the first place. She was practically back to the usual crimson hue of red her skin should be. But she still felt weak if she stood to quickly.

The Clawdite punched a few buttons and pulled out a blaster. The raysheild came down and he held it level at her. "Good news, Jedi. My client decided not to kill you. But he would very much like to keep you around. You're coming with me."

She stared back at him. "And what do you plan to do?"

He chuckled. "He wants you frozen and delivered. Now come on so I can get this over with."

With that she felt her stomach tighten. Carbonite freezing... Why didn't she expect THAT? After having to jump to the safety of a platform, being trapped in a containment feild, being injected with a deadly toxin, almost dying, and suddenly being captured all over again you'd expect her to see this one coming. But seriously. Carbonite. Freezing. WHHHHHHHHY?

He pushed her out of the ship, where she saw they were docked inside a building. Outside there was a sandstorm whipping the small particles around relentlessly. If it weren't for the goggles, she'd question how the workers in the hanger dealt with it.

Soon he brought her into a large room where some Ugnaughts were running about working controls. She bit her lip a moment before allowing herself to be pushed to the circular platform where the floor would drop. She took a deep breath. If she was gonna be frozen, then she'd look awesome doing it. Or at least not too horrible.

"Please! Whoever is out looking for me, hurry!" She called out into the force. Unsure whether anyone would hear her or not.

The floor then begun to go down. Before she knew it, cold tibanna gas was spraying in all around her, she was about to cry out when she found herself in darkness.

When the block of carbonite was removed from the chamber, the Clawdite stared at the now frozen Jedi for a moment. She was giving this badass glare and looked ready to punch something. Nah, just kidding! She had shut her eyes and her mouth was open in a silent scream, fangs clearly shown as her lips were curled up towards her gums. One hand was frozen at her hip, as if she was reaching for her absent lightsaber. The other was curled into a loose fist. In all honesty, it looked like she was giving a battle cry before a fight.

"Hm..." The Clawdite sighed. "Help me put her into my ship, I have a client who's getting very impatient."

With this, they loaded the Jedi Master up into his ship and he took off again. Heading for Mustafar now.

Yup, Shaak Ti is frozen and Anakin's going home! What will happen next in this increasingly unusual fanfic?
Obi-Wan: So I get absolutely NO action?
Shaak: And I'm frozen...
Mace: And I have to deal with Skywalker?
Anakin: MOM! I'M COMING HOME! :)
Plo: *indifferent*
Me: Hehe... Sorry? And I let you beat up the Clawdite, Obi-Wan! Get over it!
