Chapter 9: The Decision

The group arrived on Coruscant within the next few days and Padme', Flan, and Phoebe headed to meet with the entire Jedi Council…

"So…once again, Jedi Her'pol," said Mace Windu, "tell us why you hid from us the fact that you stole the plans for this "Death Star"?"

Flan cleared his throat and explained.

Phoebe sighed and shook her head. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but we have bigger problems then why he stole the plans! We have Asajj Ventress, a warlock, and who knows how many other enemies out there! Not to mention that we're at war!"

"Enough, that is," Yoda told her.

She shut her mouth.

"We'll decide the next move in this matter," Master Windu said. "This meeting is adjourned."

Phoebe's eyes grew big. "WHAT!?!"

Padme' and Flan bowed and turned to leave.

"Are you serious!?! You're not going to rule NOW!?"

"That's enough, Ms. Halliwell!"

"But—"

Padme' pulled her arm. "Let's go, Phoebe." Padme' pulled her out of the room.

"Padme', what are you doing!?! We can't just sit around and do nothing."

Padme' looked at her. "We're not."

Flan cocked his head. "Explain."

"We're going on a hunt."

Phoebe smiled. "I'll get my sisters."

(An hour later) Piper and Paige were working on a vanquishing saying while Padme' was making arrangements with Anakin.

"Piper, are you sure you're up for this?" asked Padme'. "I'm not sure if I want to be responsible…."

"Look, missy, I've been pregnant before. I know when I need to stop. I'll be fine."

Phoebe came and rubbed Piper's belly. "Let's just hope my new niece or nephew will be fine."

Paige orbed a book over to her that mapped out all of Coruscant. "Okay, we should head to the factory district. That's where I keep getting these eerie vibes from."

Phoebe looked at her.

"The factory district?" asked Padme'. "Well…if evil was to be on Coruscant…that's where they'd go."

"Let's get moving then," said Flan.

(The Factory District) Asajj opened her eyes and smirked. "They're on the way…prepare our forces."

Dalit nodded and walked off.

The small vessel landed and the party of five walked off. "It's Showtime," said Piper.

Padme' stretched out with The Force. "The Dark Side of the Force is heavy here."

Suddenly, a small flying object came flying their way.

"BOMB!" YELLED FLAN.

Piper reached for the sky and gestured with her hands, freezing the grenade. She shrugged. "Well…that was easy."

As they walked onward, the grenade unfroze and slammed into the ground, exploding.

The entire group was shocked.

"I-I didn't unfreeze it!" Piper exclaimed.

And suddenly a shower of grenades came raining down.

Piper gestured but they didn't freeze. "MY POWERS!! They've been neutralized!!'

Padme' reached for her replacement lightsaber. "Run for cover!!" she ordered.

As the grenades rained down on them, exploding all around, Paige turned to Phoebe. "We're screwed."
