Anakin felt like he'd been stabbed through the chest with a lightsaber as he felt his master's presence disappear and their connection being severed for he knew, even if he'd never felt someone do so, that his master was one with the force now. Clutching his chest as Kiara who'd also felt it watched her friend with a painful expression and tears threatening to fall. Anakin let out a scream in which he released the fury and the sadness such a development provoked on him. His thoughts were now of vengeance against the Bounty Hunter and all his allies and had not Kiara been quick enough to catch him he would've run towards the nearest rebels and slaughter them all without mercy.

"Anakin wait!" Kiara shouted trying to calm her friend down.

"Let me go Kiara I'm going to kill them!" Anakin replied furiously trying to get out of his friend's grasp. "They are going to pay!"

"Anakin a Jedi does not seek vengeance!" Kiara tried to reason with him.

"Screw that they've killed my master!" Anakin retorted.

"And they've captured mine!" Kiara said growing angry at her friend. "They have Obi Wan Anakin! We have to save him! Qui Gon wouldn't want you to get revenge he would want us to figure a way to save Obi Wan!"

Anakin spun around and looked at his best friend as his anger faded, she was right and he knew it, Qui Gon was dead but his master wouldn't want him to go avenging his forsaking Obi Wan's life in the process. Taking a very deep breath Anakin managed to calm a little.

"You are right I'm sorry" He said in an affected voice. "We still have a mission to accomplish and we have to find Obi Wan"

Kiara smiled sadly seeing her friend come to his senses. "We have to keep moving perhaps we could search the slums in search of information, most of the rebels come from there I'm sure we can find out where they are holding him. Besides even if our connection is weak now I might be able to contact him if we pass near where they are holding him

Anakin nodded as he followed her friend while swearing that he would get revenge after rescuing Obi Wan.

Obi Wan slowly opened his eyes and found himself staring at the dark ceilling of a cell or at least a very poorly lit room. Trying to collect his thoughts he tried to rise up but his torso hurt like hell, he assumed because of the blaster shots that had impacted on him, on stunning shots he guessed or else he wouldn't be alive. Finally managing to get up despite the pain he tried to feel with the Force where he was since the small room was indeed a cell, not one of Security Force HQ's cells but still a cell. He didn't find it surprising when he had troubles connecting and feeling the Force surely someone with a Force Nullifier was nearby disrupting the Force in him like it had done with Anakin during the attack.

He briefly wondered how the Bounty Hunters had obtained such an artefacts. From what he'd heard the Jedi destroyed all of them after the war a thousand years ago. Apparently the artefacts were too dangerous and could be used to temper with the Jedi's connection to the force. Large exposure to the artefact could have very bad consequences for him. The only defect it had was that one Force Nullifier could only affect one Jedi at a time.

The door to his cell opened pulling him out of his thoughts and Jango Fett dressed in his silver mandalorian armor but without the helmet entered the room and threw him an amused look.

"So the mighty Jedi finally awakens" He said with a smirk. "You slept for quite a while you know, at seven hours."

"Not my choice." Obi Wan growled trying to keep his feelings in check.

"Well, you could have prevented it you know. If you and your friends had just surrendered you might have been awake this past twelve hours." Jango replied with the smirk not leaving his face.

"Or you might have killed us on the spot." Obi Wan replied. Jango's smirk turned into a wide Grin.

"Clever Jedi" Jango said.

"Not really, but the Force Nullifier you and your accomplices had tells me your client isn't very fond of the Jedi." Obi Wan said. Jango chuckled.

"No, my client is not fond of you. Although the young ones did pick his interest" Jango said. "In fact only you and the woman would have died."

"Well it's a pity that we are harder to kill than your master thought." Obi Wan said with a smirk. "My friends are still alive and surely looking for me right now, and even though I'm sure that's your intention given the level of success of the other trap I'd say you and your clients will find yourself in jail pretty soon."

"Hell" Jango said with an impressed voice. "The Force Nullifier sure works well if you haven't been able to feel what happened."

"What happened?" Obi Wan said dropping his smirk.

"Your Master and that Captain are dead. Caught in one of my client's traps, only your Padawans remain alive Jedi." Jango spat.

"What? No! You Lie! That's impossible!" Obi Wan said as he tried assimilate what Jango had told him.

"It's up to you if you believe me or not Jedi." Jango said. "But don't worry the truth is you are just bait to lure the young ones here. Once that's done you can join your master and that whore on the Afterlife."

Obi Wan tried to call on the force and attack Jango but the Force Nullifier acted and the Jedi found himself on the floor trying to breathe.

"Truly an amazing toy" Jango mused as he exited the room. Leaving Obi Wan with his pain and despair.

Count Dooku advanced sat on the throne room of his Palace flanked by two members of his personal guard, the only members of the Security forces who were aware of his identity and his plans, observing waiting for Lord Sidious to contact him. He'd tried to do so on his ship to tell him about the most recent developments on the situation on the planet but apparently he was on a visit to Naboo on official Republic Bussiness and he hadn't been able to talk to them. Finally his master's hologram appeared in front of her thanks to the projector on his throne. Dooku quickly rose and knelt in front of the Dark Lord.

"Master" Dooku greeted while Palpatine observed him under the hood.

"My apprentice" Palpatine greeted him and Dooku could feel the irritation on his voice, not directed at Dooku this time. "I hope you have good news for me."

"Yes my Master our plan is advancing smoothly, Jinn has died, Kenobi is being used as bait to capture the two Padawans, soon Skywalker will be yours." Dooku said.

"Good" Palpatine as an evil grin appeared on his face. "You've done good my apprentice."

"Thank you Master." Dooku said looking up at Sidious's hooded figure trying not to grimace as he looked at his master's happy expression. As always the man emanated a force signature deeply disturbing even as an hologram but when he was happy this feeling worsened.

"Rise" Sidious told him. "I have another task for you when you are done with your current mission."

"What will you have me do?" Dooku asked.

"I want you to go to Korriban to the ancient archives of the Sith temple, there's a hidden holocron that contains really inportant information I want for myself and bring it to Coruscant so that I can study it." Sidious said. "I believe said Holocron would be of vital importance to our cause

"It will be done." Dooku said.

"Good then" Palpatine said. "I'll be expecting good news Tyranus or I'll be forced to revise your usefulness."

"Yes Master" He said masking his anger at the Dark Lord, he knew that Palpatine was always looking for signs of betrayal such was the way of the Sith and Dooku didn't want to face the Dark Lord yet he hadn't learnt enough, perhaps he should use the trip to Korriban to train himself while accomplishing the mission
