"Ani, I know you're not telling me something." Padme told her husband as she talked with him through a hologram.
"Padme, please don't worry." Anakin said as he strapped into the pilot's seat.
She put her hands on her hips as she gave him the 'If-you-don't-tell-me-now-you'll-be-in-so-much-trouble-later' look that usually the twins recieved. "Anakin Skywalker. What's wrong?" Her tone was stern.
He looked down and pretended to press some buttons. "Everything is going to be taken care of, you don't need to worry."
"Does this 'thing' I don't have to worry about have to do with Ahsoka acting strange before?" She asked. Anakin glanced up for half a second then looked away to the controllers. Padme gasped, "Are the twins okay?"
He knew he couldn't fool her, no matter what he said. "Not...exactly..."
His wife's eyes went wide. "What's happened? Are they hurt? Anakin, tell me!"
"Look, I'm going to take care of it." He told her gently.
She still wanted answers. "Ani, I think I deserve to know. They are our children."
He kept staring into her worried eyes, thinking on how he could explain this without her freaking out and following them. "Someone...came in the middle of the night at the house."
"And...?" Fear filled her insides.
"Ahsoka tried her best to stop them...but they got away." He paused, "With the twins."
Padme sucked in air quickly, her expression getting more and more concerned. "Who are 'they' and where did they go? And what about Ahsoka?"
"They were two bounty hunters. Cad Bane and Robonino." She nodded, familiar with those names. "Ahsoka tracked down Robonino on Tatooine. He told her where Bane was, and that's where I'm heading to help her."
"Where is Bane?" Padme asked quietly. Anakin didn't answer right away. He didn't want her to get involved. She asked again, louder, "Where is Bane?"
"Padme, if I tell you, you have to promise you won't go there yourself. I don't know what dangers are there and-"
"Anakin. Tell me now." That look appeared on her face again.
"He's on Mustafar." He told her quickly.
She gasped, putting a hand over her mouth. "Oh my- What in the universe- he could be-"
"Padme, don't freak out. I'm going right now to get them. Everything's going to be fine." He said, holding his hands up in the 'calm down' gesture.
"And Ahsoka? You think where's she at?" She was breathing heavily now.
Anakin said, "She's waiting for me to come, and then we're going there together."
Padme then gave him a different look. It said, 'Seriously?'
Anakin was about to protest, but then realized something: He taught Ahsoka. She was reckless. She hardly ever followed orders. Just like him.
"Oh no."
Ahsoka's ship desended on the landing platform. She then walked out, R7 following closely behind her. She had been on this planet for less than one minute and already she could feel a disturbance in the Force.
R7 whistled quietly to her. She patted him on the top and said, "Stay close, buddy, It'll be alright."
She remembered this planet from when she and Anakin came during The Clone Wars. She could see the rivers of lava that radiated heat and and the sky was black as night. A large facility stood at the end of the platform. Ahsoka began walking towards it, knowing the twins were somewhere inside.
Of course, right then, out of no where, six commando droids were around her. They were all carrying blasters, everyone of them aimed at her and R7.
Ahsoka unsheathed her lightsaber. The droids began to shoot at her. She jumped into the air gracefully, and landed near one of them, her green lightsaber slicing it in two.
"R7! Get the facility's door open!" She ordered the astromech droid. R7 gave a 'beep' and headed towards the door.
"Leave the droid. Kill the Jedi." One commando droid ordered. The rest obeyed and continued to blast Ahsoka.
She deflected them with her weapon, thinking to herself, Whoever is in charge here must really not want me to get inside. She returned to focusing on the droids when one of them jumped towards her.
Ahsoka whipped her lightsaber and cut off it's arms. His blaster went flying across the landing pad. She then sliced his head off. His robotic body crumpled to the ground.
The four that hadn't been injured surrounded her. She deflected every laser blast that came towards her. One of then landed in the middle of a comando droid's chest. It fell backwards, but still wouldn't stop blasting at her. Ahsoka ran towards it and cut his weapon in half. she then knocked it's head off.
Not one second after she did that, another commando droid pounced on her back. It tried to grab her head and bring her to the ground. Ahsoka tried to throw him off, but his grip was too tight. The other two began to come near her, their blasters aimed at her face.
Ahsoka gave a loud yell as she took her lightsaber and sliced the droid on her back's torso in two. As it fell to the ground, she did a flip in the air as her weapon cut one of the other one's legs, then she stabbed her lightsaber through it's chest.
One more left. It blasted at her, backing up towards the facility's entrance. R7 almost had the door open. Ahsoka ran to it, knocked off it's blaster. It looked at her and tried to grab her arms, but she was too fast. His head was rolling on the ground before he had the chance.
R7 gave a whistle as the large metal door opened. Ahsoka sheathed her lightsaber, She walked to him, breathing so her heart rate would slow down. With a pat on the astro droid's top, both of them entered the facility, ready to face more danger.
Ahsoka and R7 wandered down many hallways in the dark facility. She sensed the Dark Side here, and wondered what Luke and Leia had been through.
R7 whistled twice and beeped once, asking where the twins were. She reached out with the Force, trying to sense them. She looked up and pointed to the left, "This way!"
Ahsoka and her astro droid raced down the left hallway. They came to an intersection and then turned right. Both of them came into a large room. A door stood at the end of it.
"C'mon, R7." She told him. They headed towards the door. Once they came up to it, R7 opened it for her. The circular room was dark, with only one reddish light sourse coming from a barred window. A large pole stood in the middle of it, and chained to it was...
"Luke! Leia!" Ahsoka cried, rushing toward the limp figures.
They both looked up at the same time. "Soka!" They said in hoarse voices. She kneeled beside them, giving them the best hug she could.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I'm going to get you out and then we're going to head home." She told them, unsheathing her lightsaber, ready to cut the chains. But, something was wrong. A disturbance.
She turned slowly, eyeing the shadows. She couldn't see anything, but sensed something was wrong. She stood up ever so carefully, her lightsaberheld out infront of her. Luke and Leia expression's were now wide-eyed with fear.
Out of the shadows, a figure jumped towards Ahsoka. She whipped her weapon towards it, but it had already grabbed her wrist. She struggled to get free from it's clutch. But it reached to press somehting on it's wrist that held hers. Ahsoka looked at the figures face and gasped. Blue, with red eyes and a large hat...
A huge electric shock ran through her body. She cried, pain running up and down her bones. The last thing she heard before her body crumpled was Luke's voice yelling to her, "No! Soka!"
Ahsoka awoke in a small space. she was laying on her stomach, and her arms were tied behind her back and something was around her mouth prevented her from making a sound. She struggled to move, but somehting pinned her down.
"Stay still and make no noise, and I won't blast those little kids down there." Whispered a voice next to her ear.
Bane! She thought. she noticed she was in a vent, facing the slits where she could see Luke and Leia still chained to the large pole. The tip of Bane's blaster was pointed at them through the tiny opening.
Ahsoka breathed heavily. What could she do? And where was her lightsaber? Bane, he probably took it away from her. She struggled a tad more, but Bane pinned her down even more.
"Quiet, the shows about to start." He hissed in her ear. Her heart pumped loudly, waiting for whatever was going to happen.
Then a bright blue tip entered through the middle of the door. A confused look appeared on Ahsoka's face. The blue tip made a perfect circle, leaving a red line in it's path.
The circle fell down and a tall figure stepped through. Luke and Leia gasped, grins growing on their tiny faces, "Daddy!"
