Chapter 3

Anakin held up his hands showing that he was unarmed. This was not what he expected to walk into when he set out to find Sabe. And of course it just had to happen in his and Padme's quarters.

"Listen, whatever my sister-in-law has done, she probably deserves it."

"Hey!" Sabe protested.

"But this is my house and I have some rules about poisonous snake-bugs and dismemberment." Before he could go further the dark woman threw the Korun at Anakin, he caught the creature easily and launched it back at the intruders. It sailed through the air before burying its fangs into the face of one of the intruders. They screamed as the Korun pumped its deadly venom into the being's body.

"Kill him!" The woman screamed. Anakin felt the Force explode around him. The knife that had been at Sabe's throat was sailing towards him. Raising his hand Anakin stopped the knife mid-air before flicking his wrist and sending the weapon back at the would-be assassin burying itself to the hilt in their chest. Finally free, Sabe ducked from the chair, she swung her leg out hitting Dooku in the shin causing him to drop her scepter. Catching the artifact Sabe dove for cover just as blaster fire filled the room.

At the sound of blasters from upstairs Grievous launched himself at Kenobi. His sparking red lightsaber in one hand and a wicked vibrosword in the other. Obi-Wan ignited his own saber and met the Kaleesh head on. The other attackers rushed forward at Padme. The petite woman cartwheeled back, kicking an opponent in the jaw sending him flying back. Coming back up she turned and slashed and blocked each blow that came her way with an unknown ferocity. Padme ducked and grabbed one attacker and using his momentum swung at another. The two collided, Luke and Leia hid behind a couch with the chest watching in awe as their mother single handedly took down three men.

"Whoa! Mom where did you learn to do that?" Luke asked. Padme paused.

"I have no idea." Another man rushed her wrapping his hands around Padme's neck, forcing her to drop the sword, he threw her into a wall. With a cry, Padme brought her knee up kicking her attacker in the crotch. He stumbled and she swung at him punching him in the nose with a sickening crunch. The man collapsed one hand on his genitals the other trying to stop the blood flow from his nose. Padme turned to her children with a grin. "Now that I learned from your father."

Obi-Wan and Grievous fought violently, sabers flashing through the air until they reached a deadlock.

"Not bad for Jedi scum." Grievous spat before unlocking his saber from Kenobi's trying to discover the Jedi's weak spots.

"I was about to say the same." Obi-Wan said sardonically. While Obi-Wan and Padme fought the invaders one had managed to sneak up behind an over turned couch where Leia and Luke hid with the chest. Leia shrieked as the Rodian tried to grab the heavy chest from Luke. Leia tried to help her twin but the chest was just too heavy. The assassin took the chest and threw Luke across the floor. Padme and Obi-Wan had been cornered and now fought back to back.

"What's in the chest?" Obi-Wan yelled.

"The bracelet of Bogun!" Padme shouted back, dispatching another man in the process. Obi-Wan tried to rush Grievous only to be sent stumbling back by a vicious kick to the stomach.

"They cannot get it, get the chest and get out of here!" Luke and Leia spotted the Rodian who had grabbed the chest hiding by a bookshelf, dagger in one hand the chest in the other. Before the being had a chance to go after their mother and the Jedi the two children moved quickly and silently, pushing the shelf over on top of the Rodian. He cried out and dropped the chest. It landed on the floor with a loud thump. Padme saw it and dropped her sword and lunged for the chest, grabbing it just as another one of the henchmen did. This one a rather vicious looking Wookie. The Wookie howled and brought the pommel of his sword down hard on the side of Padme's head. Stars filled Padme's vision as her legs gave out the large creature easily threw the woman over his should and grabbed the chest.

"Mom!" Luke cried as he watched his mother being carried away. Obi-Wan turned at the child's cry just in time to see Padme and her abductor disappear down a corridor.

"Padme!" Obi-Wan cried. Distracted, Grievous took his opportunity to escape. Once again kicking Kenobi hard he sent the human Jedi flying into another bookshelf. Laughing the Kaleesh took off after his men.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Upstairs, Anakin and Sabe had taken cover in the fresher as blaster fire filled the room. Sabe threw herself into the large tub as Anakin kicked the door shut. He could hear the blaster bolts hitting the door, it wouldn't hold for very long. Jumping up he pulled Sabe from the tub.

"Sabe! What the hell did you do this time?" Another wave of blaster bolts hit the door.

"I swear this has nothing to do with me!" Sabe yelled over the din. Anakin swore and looked around.

"We need to get out of here." His eyes landed on the large painted glass window. There was no other way out. Sabe saw the look on Anakin's face.

"No Anakin wait!" Blaster bolts broke through the door, Sabe shrieked as Anakin pulled her with him, the glass shattered and the two tumbled through an awning and onto the balcony below. The fresher door gave way, leaving the pair no time; they jumped up and raced across the balcony with blaster bolts at their heels. Jumping over a ledge they raced around towards the front of the house. A covered speeder flew past them and down the road, in the back seat Anakin saw Padme fighting of the invaders. She saw her husband and screamed his name. Anakin felt his instincts take over but before he could do anything Sabe tackled him to the ground as another speeder roared by shooting at the pair. Leaving Anakin to watch in horror as Padme was pulled away from the window and the speeders disappeared into the night.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Anakin felt a cold numbness take hold of his being as he stared down the drive, only slightly aware of Sabe panting beside him. He was brought out of the chaotic turmoil of his mind by shouting from the house. Turning, he saw Luke and Leia running towards him. Obi-Wan Kenobi was close behind the children. The twins threw themselves into their father's arms.

"Are you two alright?" Both nodded. Taking a deep breath Anakin stood and turned to the Jedi. "What are you doing here and why did those people take my wife?" Anakin asked as calmly as he could, hoping to hide his anger and fear from his children. They needed him to be strong right now. Obi-Wan sensed Anakin's strong feelings.

"I'm not sure my friend, but I may have an idea." Obi-Wan replied calmly before pulling a small holo from his robe's pocket. He held it out to Anakin. It was of an older well-dressed man, tall, with a narrow face and grey hair with flecks of black. "Wherever this man is Padme will surely be." Leia's hand shot out and grabbed the holo.

"I know him. That's Count Dooku!"

"He's the curator for the Nubian Museum." Luke added.

"Are you sure?" Obi-Wan asked.

"You better believe them." Sabe stated. "They spend more time there than they do at home." Anakin turned and ran for his speeder. The others were close behind him.

"I'm just going to go out on a limb here." Anakin snarled as Obi-Wan fell into pace next to him. "You're here on Naboo, Padme's been kidnapped. Something really horrible is about to happen." Obi-Wan nodded.

"Yes, they've removed Sidious from his tomb." Behind him Sabe stopped short.

"Oh come on!" Anakin and Obi-Wan turned to her. She glared furiously as Obi-Wan. "You people are supposed to make sure that doesn't happen!" The Jedi shot her a hard look but Sabe did not back down.

"There's a woman with them, she knows things. Things that no living being could possibly know." Sabe finally broke the glaring contest with the Jedi.

"Well that's not at all disturbing." She muttered under her breath. Why was it that they were always getting wrapped up in these ridiculous messes? Obi-Wan continued to speak. "This woman was the one to lead them here, to Bogun's bracelet and now they have it." Leia glanced nervously over at Luke.

"They don't have it." She said weakly, before pulling the sleeve of her jumper up revealing the bracelet secured around her tiny wrist. The three adults eyes went wide. Obi-Wan reached out and examined the bracelet.

"That's gold." Sabe gasped breathlessly, looking over Obi-Wan's shoulder. The Jedi glared at Sabe then turned his attention back to the bracelet. Anakin had been watching the pair interact since the Jedi's arrival, he looked over at Luke questioningly.

"Don't look at me. I'm nine." His son replied shrugging. Leia finally spoke up.

"When I put this thing on I had a vision. I was back on Coruscant, at the great pyramids. Then it was like I was flying across the planet then boom, I was suddenly at Karnak." Obi-Wan released the little girls wrist.

"Child, by putting this on you've started a chain reaction that will trigger one of the galaxies oldest curses and bring about the next apocalypse." Leia turned white and she felt her stomach twist itself up into a million knots.

"What?" She squeaked. Anakin sighed, silently asking himself how he had become reasonable and responsible adult here. He pointed at Obi-Wan.

"You, lighten up." Then the twins, "You two, big trouble." Finally, Sabe. "You, get in the damned speeder." They all quickly got into the speeder, no one willing to argue with the fuming father. Anakin drove with Obi-Wan in the front seat, while Sabe and the twins sat in the back. And then they were speeding towards Theed.

"I'm sorry for scaring your daughter. But the bracelet is on her wrist, which means we only have fourteen standard days until Darth Bane awakens. And with him will come the army of Bogun." Obi-Wan stated. Sabe leaned forward,

"That's not a good thing right?"

"He'll wipe out the galaxy." Anakin answered darkly, tightening his grip on the steering as he accelerated the speeder. Out of the corner of his eye, Obi-Wan saw the beginnings of Anakin's tattoo peaking out of his shirt sleeve and took note of the cartouche inked onto the other man's wrist. He was aware of Padme's sister complaining from behind him. He didn't remember the woman being so unbearable last time. Shaking the thoughts of Sabe from his head, Obi-Wan continued speaking, his eyes never leaving the tattoo on Anakin's wrist. "Whoever can kill Darth Bane can send his army back to the Underworld. Or use it to enslave the galaxy."

"That's why these guys dug up Sidious. He's the only one powerful enough to take out Bane." Anakin growled. Obi-Wan finally looked away from Anakin and out into the inky blackness that surrounded them.

"That seems to be their plan." Obi-Wan replied quietly. But the Jedi had a hunch that Sidious wasn't the only powerful Force user who could take on Sidious, his mind went to the tattoo on his friend's wrist and he felt the Force shift around them.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
