It was a sudden shocking feeling that passed through Mace. For a moment, he felt like he might fall over, but he hid this well and locked his knees. Something just happened. And from the way Plo was's head was turned downcast, he had a strong sense that he felt it too. Though the only one uneffected was Anakin, who was still working the controls as they were entering Tatooine's atmosphere.
"Something's just happened..." Mace murmered, low enough for Plo Koon to hear. The Kel Dor nodded in responce.
"I cannot feel her presense any long..." He replied quietly. "Do you think that he might have...?"
"No. I see no reason he would." Windu disagreed. "If it doesn't suit him then he wouldn't."
Upon those words, Anakin landed just a hectometer away from the Clawdite's ship. From what they could see, it was just about to take off. It was as if Anakin could tell something the two Masters didn't, because he told them both in an unreadable tone, "We need to get off this ship."
"But he'll take off." Plo pointed out.
With that, Anakin stood and brushed past. "I know that. But we need to get off. Now."
Mace and Plo both hesitated. Slightly confused about what Skywalker was getting on. That was when the boy started to grow a little impatient.
"Now."
So they finally decided to move. As Anakin jumped down the ramp, with the two Jedi Masters not far behind, the ship blew! While Anakin had made some distance, Master Windu was sent flying and Plo Koon lundged forward, hitting the sandy ground hard. So the bounty hunter did know where they were!
"Are you both alright?" Anakin asked, rushing to the nearest one, Master Windu of course, and helping him sit.
Mace stared at Anakin for a long and hard moment while Plo sat an armspan away, trying to gather his bearings. "How did you know the ship would blow up?"
"You couldn't?" Skywalker seemed bathled.
"No..." Plo answered undertone.
Anakin shrugged. "I just saw it happen before it had."
"At least you warned us." Master Windu sighed, then glanced back at the burning haul. "Or no one would ever find our bodies."
Plo Koon stood and dusted himself off before offering a hand to Master Windu. "So how do you propose we go after him? We are without a transport."
"I think I have an idea. Just bare with me, alright?" Anakin then started running in one direction. Mace and Plo both exchanged unknowing looks before following. Neither expected his solution to the problem.
When the Clawdite reached Mustafar, he unloaded the Jedi and walked to a sheilded facility. Where he found himself speaking to his employer via holocron. The man's face was concealed under a black hood, only his provenate nose showed as well as the lower half of his face.
"I have brought the Jedi you requested." He told him.
The man didn't show any emotion. If he was glad to hear, he sure didn't express it. "Good. Hand this Jedi over to my service droid. I have plans for this one."
"Alright. When do I get paid?" The bounty hunter questioned.
"You'll see the credits you asked for in a couple days."
With that, the Clawdite left. Now, the projected image of the man remained. He then announced to the service droid, "I'll be sending someone soon."
"As you wish." The droid responded. Then the image was gone and the droid proceeded to move the still frozen Togruta to a wall. It didn't seem to notice the expression, let alone be creeped out by it. It's a droid, were you expecting intelligence? Or emotion for that matter at least?
And so I give you the short chapter leaving you asking, "who the hell is Sidieous planning on sending to Mustafar?" Don't worry, it will be reveiled in good time. Now another thing, if you didn't know that was Sidieous then what the hell is wrong with you? It's not that hard to figure out just by the way I discribed the guy. Consitering that's all there is to notice.
