Chapter six
Obi-Wan managed to contact the Council by hacking into a system he found when searching where they were captured. It turned out that they had simply been deep down within the tree that Obi-Wan had found earlier. Whoever their captor was, they did not find out as he had escaped whilst they had been recovering. Most of the droids in the area had evacuated but the few that had remained where killed by Shaak Ti and Obi-Wan, after trying to get as much information out of them as possible. None of the droids knew the name of their leader but simply called him 'General' but they would have called any of their leaders 'General'.
Master Yoda arrived in a small ship – bringing medical aid – and took them all back to Coruscant. A lot of energy went into a search to find any Separatists involved in the capture of Felucia but they came up with nothing. It appeared to be a tiny, private excavation that was not meant to draw itself any attention and was conducted under minor authority.
Anakin had completely broken down over the death of Echo and did not leave her side even after they left her body in a quiet room in the basement of the hospital. He would not let them attend to his injuries but just lay there across Echo's body. She had turned cold during their flight back. He was lying over her body, one arm over her stomach, the other across her chest.
"Echo I'm so sorry." He cried into her side. "I should have saved you. I should be strong enough to save you"
Under his left hand he felt a slight twitch. He looked up. There it was again, but that felt like a double beat. He pressed his hand into her chest to feel it again. His eyes lit up; that was definitely a heart beat.
"Obi-Wan!" He limped to the doorway. "Master, she's alive!"
As Anakin leant on the door frame to support himself whilst Obi-Wan came running, he missed Echo's weak, shuddering gasp as her lungs inflated and started to pump again.
