Hey guys! It's been a while! I tried to spice things up this chapter by adding some action! Maybe it is good enough for all you wonderful people! Please Review!
Lux flew into the hangar on the lower floor of Padme's apartment. He couldn't help but feel as though he were being watched.
He walked slowly keeping a sharp eye when suddenly from behind one of the other speeders sprung Cad Bane!
Lux fell to the floor in shock at the sight of Cad Bane.
"Bane! What are you doing here!" Lux exclaimed.
"Let's just say a large bounty has been placed on your head and it looks like I'm the one who will be claiming it!" He said taking aim with his scoped pistol.
"Hey you! Drop the weapon!" A police-droid said as he pointed his blaster pistol at Bane. Three other droids followed closely behind him.
Bane raised his hands acting as though he were surrendering.
Lux rose to his feet and ran back to his speeder.
"I said drop the weapon!" The droid repeated.
Bane turned his head slightly towards the robo-cops and said in a quieter voice,"I don't think so!"
Then he spun around quickly as he pulled his other pistol out of his holster. He destroyed two of the droids with no problem. Then taking fire he leaped behind a speeder.
Lux realized what was about to happen and started up his speeder to retreat.
Bane heard the sound of the motor starting up and knew who it was trying to escape.
"Your not going any where!" He said as he stood and fired an electro-missile into the speeder.
The speeder came to a sudden stop. Lux fell forward hitting his head on the control panel. He was knocked unconscious.
Bane ran over to the crashed speeder. Opportunity had just knocked on his door!
Bane grabbed the unconscious teen and held him in one arm in front of him as a shield while he kept his pistol in the other hand aimed at the robo-cops.
"Come any closer and I guarantee there will be a mess to clean up later!" Bane shouted to the droids.
The captain held his hand out in front of the others stopping them from going any farther.
"Stand down…." The droid said lowering his hand.
"That's more like it!" Bane said as he backed up to the speeder behind him. After throwing Lux in he turned and said,"Oh, and if I were you, I'd start running…"
Bane smiled as he raised his arm with his mini-control panel on it. He clicked a small red button activating the thermal detonators he had hid under some of the other speeders.
As soon as the first explosion was heard, he was off.
Anakin and Ahsoka walked down the halls of the jedi temple making their way to the hanger bay.
Anakin's comlink went off breaking the silence.
"Skywalker here." Anakin said raising his fore arm to his mouth.
"Ani. this is Padme', Something happened in the lower hanger, I heard something about an explosion and a fire and…" She was cut off by Anakin.
"Calm down! Everything will be alright!"Anakin said.
"Ani. I don't know where Lux is…." She said worriedly.
"What!" Ahsoka said astonished.
"Is Ahsoka there?" Padme' asked nervously. She had intended on not telling her.
"Yes!" She said pulling Anakin's fore arm in front of her mouth.
"Anakin, please find some privacy…" Padme' said in almost a whisper.
"No, this should involve me too!" She said tugging on Anakin's arm harder,"He was coming back to your apartment when he dropped me off, I hope he was out of the hanger when the explosion happened!"
Padme' heard a knock at her door," One minute!"
She walked to the door and opened it surprised to find a police droid standing there.
"Yes, may I help you officer?" Padme' asked lowering her arm so Anakin and Ahsoka couldn't hear what was being said.
"We were wondering if this may belong to you?" The droid asked holding up Lux's burnt I.D. card.
Padme' grasped the burnt card and held it tightly in here hand as she began to cry.
"Thank you.." She said closing the door.
"Padme'? Padme' what's wrong?" Anakin asked.
"I just received Lux's I.D. card," She said pausing as she wiped away her tears.
"And?" Ahsoka asked.
"It's half burnt…" She said beginning to cry again.
"No.." Ahsoka said quietly as she slid down the wall til she was sitting on the floor.
Anakin watched as she pulled her knees up the her chest and rapped her arms around them trying the bury her face.
"I'll talk to you later…" Anakin told Padme'.
"Ok…bye…" She said as she ended the call.
Anakin sat down next to Ahsoka and put one arm around her trying to hung her up for comfort.
"Ahsoka…It'll be ok…no one lives for ever." He said trying to catch a glimpse of her face.
"Things were just starting to brighten up …" She said lifting her head to look at him," And now he's gone…"
She dropped her head and began to cry again.
Lux stirred as he slowly opened his eyes.
He groaned as he sat up and put a hand on his head. He had a head ache that words could not describe.
"What happened?" He asked as his vision began to clear.
He was in a cell….and not a very big one.
"It's about time you wake up!" Bane said as he played with the end of his tooth pick.
"Where am I?" Lux asked as an angry expression crossed his face.
"Right now you are on a freighter ship soon to be delivered to Count Dooku." Bane said smiling at the thought of his reward he would receive when he arrived.
"Dooku's the one who placed a bounty for me!" Lux said in anger as he jumped to his feet.
"You catch on quick kid!" Bane replied sarcastically.
Banes comlink beeped making Bane angry.
"I hate that sound!" Bane growled,"What!"
"Am I disturbing you?" Dooku asked.
"No not at all!" He said growing excited to know it was Count Dooku.
"Do you have Bonterrie?" Dooku asked.
"Yes, I have the ransom right here!" Bane replied as he glared at the tired Lux.
"Good, I have your payment waiting!" Dooku said reassuringly.
"I'll be there shortly!" Bane said smiling at the sound of 'payment'," You here that! Your about to make me a very happy bounty hunter!"
Lux jumped forward lunging himself at the bars of the cell.
Bane only laughed and walked away slowly.
"I will get out get out of here! You here me!" Lux yelled at Bane.
"Ahsoka will rescue me…" He said to himself," I know it.."
There you go! How was it! I hope it was worth the wait! Please Review!
