Today I'm back again with chapter 17! WoW! 17 chapters! I never thought I would make it last this long! The story is coming to an end though, and I'm trying to think up a plot for a new story(Star Wars); if you have any suggestions, please message me! I really need help! BTW! Enjoy the chapter :D
Anakin had a choice to make. Did he really want his padawan to go threw the secrecy that he and Padme' had to suffer? He wanted his padawan to enjoy the teenage stage and wanted her to have fun during her life and he would have to admit, he did find loving Padme' fun.
He also realized he would have to reveal his marriage to her which is one thing he didn't want to do.
"We would be forced to tell, Padme'!" He said with more a scream.
"Well perhaps it's time…" Padme' said with a sigh, she didn't like the thought of admitting their marriage either but she thought it best for them to tell her then for the girl to find out on her own,"After all, she is your padawan.."
Anakin looked grim for Padme's perspective.
By now the ship had landed on the cold planet of Carlac. Lux was still sitting in the other room waiting patiently. He knew the ship had touched ground for he could feel the metal wall growing cold as he leaned up against it.
When he breathed, he could see his breathe as it drew from his lips with a blue and white taint. This was going to be one cold adventure!
"Well, we best be heading out!" Anakin said getting up to walk to the door.
Padme' couldn't believe her ears! He was going to start walking in the middle of night, the temperature easily below 0 and march directly into a heavily fortified separatist base!
"Are you crazy!" She blurted before he got out the door.
He turned to face her as a confused looked spread itself across his face.
"What do you mean?" He asked as he walked out the door to where Lux was waiting.
Padme' jumped up and quickly rushed after him.
"I mean, your really going out there when it's pitch black and below 0?" She asked from the door way where she stood.
"She's like a sister to me, I'll do anything to save her…." He said throwing his winter coat on.
Lux stood between the two, watching intently.
"Please, wait until morning, we will be able to navigate better and the journey will be faster." She said trying to convince him to stay.
"No, she is my padawan, her pain, is my pain, her thoughts, are my thoughts - I can't leave her…" He said pushing the button that opened the door.
"Well.." Padme' said as she grabbed her coat,"She's like a sister to me too, and if you are willing to freeze to death to save her, i should too!"
Anakin smiled at his courageous wife.
"Well then let's go!" Anakin said taking her hand and leading her outside into the freezing cold snow.
Lux didn't want to leave the warmth of the comfortable ship but he didn't want to be called a weakling for not wanting to leave the comforts the ship had to offer. So he grabbed his coat and headed out following the two in front of him.
Ahsoka led the way down the narrow halls as Jidok followed closely behind.
Ahsoka raised a hand meaning for the little creature to halt. She peeped around to corner to find two droids standing in front of a door.
"Blast!" She said in a angry wisher.
"What?" Jidok asked curiously.
"There are to droids guarding the door at the end of this hall." She said pulling back behind the wall.
"Well, you have a weapon, can't you take them out?" Jidok asked pointing one figure at the electro staff she picked up from the magna guard droid.
"There too far away, by the time I reach them they will have already sounded the alarm." She said accepting her defeat.
"Wait! I'm not prisoner, I can't create a diversion while you sneak up from behind!" He said feeling as though he had just thought up the most brilliant plan.
"It might work, call them over?" Ahsoka asked.
Jidok nodded and walked out in front of the droids.
"Could you give me a hand?" Jidok shouted to the end of the hall.
The two droids looked at each other and walked to the end of the hall and followed the small creature around the corner but to their surprise, Ahsoka was waiting for them. She sprung into the air and landed on one of the droids shoulders. She bent over and pulled the head of the droids off with no problem.
"Ah! prison break!" The droid yelled in his mechanical voice.
But before he could shoot her, she was on his shoulders ripping his head off.
When both droids had been exterminated, she did a back flip, sticking the landing just as neat and tidy as she had been.
"Impressive!" Jidok said clapping quietly.
Ahsoka laughed and rushed down the hall to the door.
"What's in here?" She asked Jidok.
"If I'm correct, it should be a weapons storage room." Jidok replied with a some what skeptical look.
"Well, I guess theres only one way to find out!" Ahsoka said taking a deep breathe before she pushed the button to open the door.
The door slid open revealing just what the fish like creature had predicted it to be. There were racks upon racks of blasters, explosives and gear.
The duo ran in and started gather weapons and ammo. Ahsoka grabbed a belt that had two holsters attached to it for the pistols. She now had two blasters, her electro staff and two hand grenades.
Jidok, on the other hand, had one droid rifle, 2 hand grenades and a pistol as back up.
"Ok, lets go!" Jidok said turning to walk out the door.
"Wait!" Ahsoka called back to him.
"What?" He asked turning back.
"Help me find some satchel charges, we're gonna blow this factory inside out!" She said making a fist.
So the two started digging threw the crates that had been stored in the weapons room.
"Here they are!" Jidok called out excitedly.
"Good, put them in this pack and lets get out of here!" She said handing Jidok the pouch.
Anakin, Padme' and Lux walked side by side holding hands so they wouldn't loose each other in the thick falling snow. The temperature had dropped even more than before! Would they ever make it?
"How much farther!" Padme' shouted over the loud howling wind.
"I don't know! I lost signal on my locator!" Anakin yelled back tapping the screen of his locator hoping to get a signal.
Suddenly a horrifying growl was heard.
"What was that!" Lux yelled frightened turning towards the noise.
"I don't know but it doesn't sound friendly!" Anakin yelled back staring out into the white blur in front of him.
"Hey, I saw something!" Padme' yelled over the wind pointing out into the snow.
Instantly Anakin's force connection started telling him danger was near; He ignited his lightsaber. Padme' pulled out her blaster pistol.
Once again the growl was heard but it sounded closer this time.
"I don't like this!" Lux said starting to grow very frightened now.
Anakin closed his eyes using the force to see into the thick snow, and then, he felt it. Anakin opened his eyes quickly and turned swinging his lightsaber slicing the arm of a wampa off from the elbow down.
The wampa let out a horrific scream! The wampa was angry now. He swung his one good arm knocking Anakin off his feet into the snow a couple feet away.
Padme' pulled up her blaster pistol, taking aim at the giant creature. She shot his side. The wampa screamed again and started to charge Padme'. Anakin saw she was in trouble and jumped up igniting his saber. The wampa had almost reached Padme' when Anakin chopped off his other arm causing the wampa to fall to the ground in pain. Anakin raised his saber and thrust his sword into the armless wampa's chest killing the beast with one blow.
Anakin ran to Padme' as soon as all was done. He put his hands on her shoulders examining her checking to make sure she was ok.
"Are you ok! Are you alright!" Anakin yelled over the snow frantically.
"Yes, I'm fine!" Padme' yelled laughing at his over protectiveness.
"What was that!" Lux yelled coming out from behind a tree. He had no weapon to fend himself with.
"A Wampa!" Anakin yelled back examining the creature.
"A wampa! I thought wampa's were only found on Hoth!" Padme' replied slightly confused.
"Apparently not…" Anakin said quieter this time, the wind had calmed down.
"Well we can't let that stop us, lets keep moving." Lux said walking forward leading the way
