Chapter 1- The Coruscant Visitor-
(Coruscant, 21 BBY)
It has now been twelve years since Anahita's disappearance and kidnapping, giving way to more destruction of the Clone Wars. As the Jedi Council was in session, a female hidden by a long, purple cloak stood in front of the towering, government building. She felt a bit of fear go through her. 'Will they recognize me? After all, I look a lot different now then back when I was a child.' she thought, going in through the corridors, hoping no one would notice her.
"Who are you, miss? I haven't seen you here before. Do you have authorization?" the droid asked, pointing at her. "Um, look, I used to live here a long time ago, and I would like to meet with the Jedi, so you can let me go upstairs, right?" she asked nicely with a bit of hope, but he pointed his weapon at her without fail. "Stand down, unless you wish for me to shoot at you." he ordered, but she knew she was not going to let him beat her. "Then catch me if you can!" she said, speeding past him. "Come back here!" it said, but she had already gotten far away from the droid.
'Okay, that droid will be calling security, so I have a few minutes before they start looking for me. I'm on the opposite side of the building, but not too far away from a lift.' she thought, looking around the corner where her ride was. She heard the sound of clone's feet clicking against the floor, and looked at the lift in a swift movement of her head. Her heart skipped a beat as she made a dash for the life, wishing they wouldn't see her. "There she is! Get her before the lift closes!" said one of the clones, as they saw her enter the lift. She pressed the button, and it started to close. One of the clones made it into the life just in time. He cornered her.
"Okay girl, just surrender now and you won't get hurt, alright?" he asked her, pointing his gun slowly at her. Bam! She hit him on his helmet, which caused him to stagger back. He shot his blaster at her, but she managed to avoid it. "Trooper, come in! What is your situation with the intruder?" asked the voice from the comlink on his wrist. "Sir! The intruder is refusing to stand down. And she is definitely not the average person. I believe she is trained in some fighting!" the clone replied, as she appeared next to him, which he looked at her in surprise.
"Sorry that I'm doing this, but I have an entrance to make pretty soon, and you're slowing me down." she said in an annoyed voice. Bizet! The comlink went dead. "CT-02-371! Do you copy?" the commander of the squad asked through the comlink, but no reply or sound came back from the comlink. "Sir, do you want us to pursue the intruder?" asked one coming up to him. "Yes. Split up into three groups and search each floor. Report back if anyone finds her." he told them, and they each got into their groups.
Ding! The lift doors opened, and she got off, pulling the clone to the side of the hall and laid him against the wall. She hid herself by the small, round lift that went up the next ten or more floors. It opened, and two ship commanders stepped out. Taking her chances, she snuck in just as they noticed her. She got away easily, and made it all the way to the fifth tenth floor before she was found by… Anakin Skywalker!
"So, you're the one who's been causing a ruckus this morning. Quite a surprise that you got in here! Feel like sharing some information with me about your intentions?" Anakin said with a smug look, as she stepped off the lift. "No, not in the mood. Besides, I went in the back door, not anywhere else, just so you know. Oh, and I'm gonna have to get by you, so watch out." she said in a bored voice, reaching for something in her pocket underneath the cloak. Anakin pointed his lightsaber right at her neck, and she stood for a moment.
"Take your hand out of your pocket and tell me you'll go quietly with me." he said in a soft tone, looking at her. 'He's using mind tricks! Good thing it has no effect on me or I'd be in trouble! Let's play along…' she thought, taking her hand out. She looked at him with a glance and said, "I will go quietly with you." Anakin slowly lowered his lightsaber, as he watched her very closely, looking for any sign of movement. Bam! She punched him in the stomach without warning. He let go of his saber, and went falling backwards. She went to go and make a run for it, but she saw that a small squadron of clones was preparing to ambush her.
Anakin had gotten back up, and signaled the men from both sides to close in on her. They rushed out, and blocked any means of escape for her. "Maybe now you'll come quietly? Or are we taking you in by force?" Anakin asked her once again, as she took out two lightsabers. Everyone looked at her in shock, as few Jedi used two lightsabers in battle. "Ahsoka! Now!" cried Anakin, as his padawan Ahsoka Tano jumped down from where she was hiding. Ahsoka swung at her with her green lightsaber, but she blocked it with one of her own instead. "Master! I think it would help if you would jump in any time now!" Ahsoka said, as Anakin ran at the other girl.
He swung his lightsaber at her, and before she could react, he had knocked it out of her hand. She looked annoyed now, and with a swipe of her hand, she took her other lightsaber from underneath Ahsoka's. Anakin and the woman struck at the same time, resulting in a dash of lightsabers. They hit again and again. Both of them weren't giving up. Ahsoka noticed the lightsaber that had been knocked out of the girl's hand was suddenly building. The red lightsaber was slowly coming along towards her, but Ahsoka grabbed it.
That instant, the lightsaber sent a shock of electricity around her entire body, as she fell down. "Ahsoka! What did you do?" Anakin said, glaring at her. "Hey, don't blame me, blame my lightsaber! If the wrong person touches them, it sends an electrical shock around their whole body. Luckily, it's a small amount and leaves the person blacked out for a few minutes." she told him, but he ignored her. He went to strike at her shoulder, but she did a back flip and avoided his attack. She grabbed her lightsaber from Ahsoka's hand, and proceeded to leave.
Before she could however, she was stopped by the troopers. Bam! She hit one of them in the head, knocking him down, but all the others surrounded her. She quickly put her lightsabers in her case, and tried to push through. Bam! One of them hit her in the face, as she went down on the floor. They immediately secured her, taking away any tech or weapons. "Take Ahsoka to the medical station in the next wing and see that she's alright. As for you…" Anakin told the men, as two of them carried Ahsoka. He turned to her, and told the two troopers "Take her to the prison cell. I'll deal with her later." He turned and walked away, going to report to the Jedi council.
"Come one girl, you heard him." said the clone on the left. She obeyed and followed him. They took her to the prisoner's cells, which she saw was devoid of windows and sunlight. "You'll be screened to check for any technology or weaponry we may have missed. Got it?" asked the other clone, who was sterner than his bother. The girl nodded as they uncuffed her wrists for the moment to take away what they had said. A medical droid then came in to do a medical scan. "The results are going to take a few minutes. General Skywalker will most likely interrogate you, and in the meantime, we will put you in a cell." the clone said, putting her into a cell at the end of the hallway.
Meanwhile, the Jedi council had been told of the fight between Anakin, Ahsoka, and the intruder. "A tough opponent she is indeed but why would she infiltrate the Senate?" Obi-Wan asked, puzzled by the actions of the prisoner. "We received word from security that she was heading towards the upper floors, which must mean she was here to kidnap or kill someone." Mace told them, which took the council members who were present by surprise. "Too young she is to be an assassin. We must consider other reasons, until they get the results of identity." Yoda said, as Anakin was observing the camera surveillance of her entrance into the building and the battle between him and his padawan. "Masters, doesn't she remind you of someone we all knew a long time ago?" he asked all of them, as the masters turned their heads towards Anakin. "I'm not sure we all know what you mean, Skywalker. And how could it be a girl we all know?" Mace asked in confusion, while Anakin zoomed in on a video from the holocam.
"Think about it. A girl who hasn't been here in years suddenly shows up, with an ability to use the force. When's the last time Anahita lived here?" Anakin said, although most of them were bewildered. "Age three?" Aayla guessed. "How would we realize it's her? It's been a long time since we've seen a photo of what she looks like." Windu asked Anakin, stating a good point. Anakin brought up a document and enlarged one of the pictures. Everyone's jaws dropped, as he just smiled. "Actually, I took the liberty of asking Senator Amidala for a recent picture of Anahita back a while ago. Thought it would come in handy somehow." Anakin explained while Plo Koon examined the video of her fighting the clone.
"Hmm… how would she know to wield a lightsaber, even making one? She never got to attend classes at the temple. And the color of those lightsabers is red." Plo Koon said wondering what had caused her to use a red crystal for a lightsaber. The red lightsabers were more normally used for dark side users and sith! "She could have found a teacher, even if they were a separatist. Whether or not she made them is a different subject. Should we talk to her just yet?" Aayla asked, trying to think of possible reasons for having a lightsaber. "Not now. After we get a result, then we'll talk to her. In the meantime, she'll just have to wait." Obi-Wan said, as to which they all agreed.
Meanwhile, the girl sat up against the wall in the cell, with a very bored expression on her face. "Ugh, this is so uncomfortable! It reminds me of the room I lived in on the ship when I was three, except that this cell is way bigger than it!" she said out loud to herself, rolling her eyes. She sighed, and dug in her pocket for something. The clones watching her on the monitors saw her take out a small electronic, containing something they weren't sure of. 'Jeez, I'm too nervous right now. Maybe the music will calm me down.' she thought, and spotted the cameras out of her right eye. So she decided to tease them by showing off a little bit of her appearance. Pulling the hood of her cloak off, she revealed her face. "Zoom in on her!" He immediately did that with the camera, and saw that her hair was long and a dark brown.
She crossed her legs criss-cross, and held her head straight forward, closing her eyes. Her arms remained rested on her knees, as she started to listen to music and meditate. "What's she planning to do?" "I think she's meditating. Wish she would open her eyes, the color of them would help in identifying her." he said, as he took some individual shots of her from the camera. "Heh. We'll be lucky if we get a match, so don't get your hopes up." he replied with a laugh.
About ten minutes later, a clone arrived in the room with the results. Obi-Wan thanked him and the clone walked out. Taking the envelope, Yoda opened it to find that the results of both the DNA and records were positive. So it seems that it is her. Anahita has indeed returned." Yoda said in a softer voice. "I think that the Jedi council should take over from here."Windu said after a minute. "She'll be in a bad mood, I'm pretty sure of that. But I must agree. We need to know what's happened to her, and why she showed up in Coruscant alone." Plo Koon said to the other two members, as Yoda nodded. "Call the other members of the Jedi council for a meeting, Mace. Aayla, I want you to escort Anahita to the council room, we need to talk to her." Yoda instructed, as Mace and Aayla left the room.
Aayla went all the way down to where Anahita was being held, and told the clone troopers on duty to release her. "What for, General Secura?" "Master Yoda has asked me to escort her to the Jedi council room, and it's important to have her there." she explained to them, as one of them went and grabbed a pair of handcuffs made specifically for Jedi. "Alright, go get the girl and bring her over here so General Secura can take her." the leader of the pair said, as he turned and went to get Anahita. Pressing a button beside the cell door, the screen doors of orange opened as he entered inside. "Hey, you're coming out of your cell for a while, so get up." he said to her, as she pulled her cloak back on, and moved from her meditation spot to him.
He placed the cuffs around the front of her wrists, and had her follow him out of the cell. They walked back down the hallway, and Anahita saw spots as she walked in front of the clone, trying to adjust her eyes to the light. "Here you go General Secura. Be careful with this one, she can be more trouble than she looks." he said, as Aayla gestured for Anahita to stand beside her. "I will be careful, thank you. Let's go." Aayla said, and left with Anahita following silently besides her. They made it to the council room about twenty minutes later, and Anahita saw the council already seated, except for a few who were unable to attend through hologram at the moment.
Aayla had Anahita stand in the center of the council room, and took her place beside Anakin and Kit, who had been allowed to attend because of the circumstances. "This meeting shall now come to order. We had a disturbance this morning in the Senate building, but Skywalker and his padawan Ahsoka, along with his team of clones, apprehended her. The person who broke into the Senate is right here. This is a girl some of us are familiar with. Her name… is Anahita." Windu said, calling the meeting to start, and those who hadn't heard of this were in shock.
"Guess there is no need for you to hide anymore, is there, my dear?" Yoda asked her, as she smirked at him. Lifting her hands up, she pulled her hood off, pulling her hair out as well. Opening her eyes after pulling her hair out, she looked at them, as they looked at her, studying her almost in a way. Anahita stood before them, a girl they hadn't seen, heard, spoken (not entirely true though), in eleven years. –Chapter end-
