Chapter 2
I slightly altered Chapter 1 by revising it. I made a small mistake with character names, and went to fix it.
Y'know, I really wanted Tekla to be the handmaiden that accompanies Padmé, Anakin and Adenan, but then I remembered that she died in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Anakin Skywalker and his new friend, Adenan Kornen were flying a ship towards the planet they decided on going, Naboo. Anakin had been on Naboo many times, and all the times serving memories that will forever be embedded into his mind, good or bad, but he was sure that this was the first time Adenan was ever going to Naboo.
"I can't wait!" Adenan exclaimed with barely hidden excitement
"Well, you have to" Anakin half-joked casually, then asked "Have you been to any of the nature planets near Naboo?"
"Yeah. There's this planet named Chameta, which holds many memories for me" Adenan answered
"You're very much like me!" Anakin happily exclaimed, chuckling a bit
The two of them jumped out of hyperspace, they saw the circular planet swirling with blue, green and white as usual. Adenan resisted squealing in excitement like a little kid, though as small happy squeak came out of his mouth.
Adenan knew that they would go to a planet famous for war due to him being with famous war figures. He shook his head sideways to prevent himself from going too much into that thought, since he knew that there were also peaceful aspects to Naboo and the people he was with. He ran his hand down his brown black hair.
"Approaching Naboo!" Anakin exclaimed with a surge of excitement
Everyone else was excited by the fact that they were dodging the Republic by hiding in a Republic Planet, and both Padmé and Dorme came to see Anakin and Adenan land on Naboo.
The four sat on two more seats in the cockpit. Anakin started to lower the ship to the skies of the planet in front of them at a comfortable pace.
"This is so cool!" Adenan said in awe of the planet
"I sense you had another word to it" Anakin told Adenan in a neutral tone
"Yeah. I did, but it's a swear word" Adenan replied, not really paying attention to Anakin
"Go ahead!" Anakin jovially exclaimed
"Ut tut tut! No swearing you two!" Padmé exclaimed suddenly and quickly
Anakin went through the fields of Naboo, the peace was still there. Naboo was largely a water planet, being that there were lakes and rivers almost everywhere, but Adenan was confused since he could not see any mountains that the water bodies might start from.
"The waters start from the core of this planet, which is also made out of water. Travelling from the core of this planet is actually faster than travelling from a ship" Padmé informed, knowing his confusion
"Because the core is smaller than the sky and the planet just, grows from then core" Adenan said, realising it
"I don't know where you get those type of words!" Anakin laughed
"I'm a more scientific guy who like simplicity" Adenan told Anakin seriously.
Anakin found a wooden house, which Adenan hitched his breath at seeing. They landed and Adenan kept looking at the house. Anakin and Adenan took their suitcases while Dorme had taken Padmé's travel bag.
"Wow…This is a big house!" Adenan exclaimed with awe, looking at a house that looked wooden from the outside
"It is! When I first came here, I thought it was a castle!" Anakin recounted happily
"Welcome to Varykino!" Padmé exclaimed in a welcoming voice
The four gone into the house. Adenan smiled at the small fireplace that was there when they entered. Adenan walked in first, then Anakin and Padmé held each other's hands while going in, and Dorme followed them. Adenan realised that this might be the place to get away from the stress that was building up for him lately due to missions the Jedi Council and Master Chi gave him
The Jedi Temple was in commotion due to the news that, the Hero with No Fear, Anakin Skywalker and the Masterless Padawan, Adenan Kornen, left the Jedi Temple abruptly. The Civil Populace of Coruscant was in even more commotion due to that Senator Amidala had left right at the same time, some suspected that these leavings were connected, but they could not find any proof of said connection.
Now, the Jedi Council was in a meeting due to a message that Anakin had left in his quarters before leaving the Jedi Temple.
"This is unacceptable behaviour!" Mace Windu, Jedi High Master of the Council, bellowed angrily. Mace was a dark skinned Korun Human Jedi Master
"Agreed, Knight Skywalker and Padawan Kornen have no right to leave the Jedi Temple!" Agen Kolar, a Zabrak Jedi Master agreed in disappointment of those who left
"What if Anakin and Padawan Kornen left due to stress?" Shaak Ti, a Tongrutan Jedi Master said, in the calm voice she always used
"We are at war Shaak, they can't just leave due to 'stress'!" Kolar sternly reminded Shaak
"But, what if they left, because of stress caused by their roles in the war, both of them play big parts in the war" Shaak replied
"They can't just leave exactly because of that Master Ti! I propose a search for the two!" Mace sternly replied
"But the message Anakin sent specifically states, they do not want to be found" Shaak warned, her voice rising
"No Shaak, Skywalker and Kornen have both defied us many times, I say it's time we end their defiance" Mace exclaimed, his voice rising too
"SILENCE!" Master Yoda, a small green Jedi Master who sat on the middle seat of the half-circle of seats that formed the Council, exclaimed, ending any arguments that were going to happen. Yoda then gazed at every Jedi Master that was in the room, he then calmly told all of them in his croaky voice,"Take it to a vote, we will"
The Jedi Masters began to vote, those who wanted to search for Anakin and Adenan raised their hands, Shaak and Yoda didn't raise their hands, but the rest did, outnumbering the three. Shaak inwardly groaned, she was hoping that Anakin could somehow sense that his request was being disregarded.
"Fine then, set up a search, Master Windu will. Bring Anakin Skywalker and Adenan Kornen he will." Yoda huffed, a bit frustrated, then he said the two words that sent Shaak relief, "Council Dismissed!", meaning that the council meeting was over
The news that Adenan and Anakin had left was spread like wildfire, even the youngest of the youngest knew about the leaving. Nothing like this had ever happened in the 25,000 years the Jedi Order existed. Master Panto Chi was one of the first to hear it, since he always kept track of Council Meetings, this wasn't an exception.
He was surprised to hear that his second, unofficial student, Adenan Kornen had left. Master Chi was a maverick, in many ways. He didn't agree with the attachment rule, or the rule that a Jedi Master must only have one apprentice. He merely thought that more than one apprentice must be given to those who can handle it, just like him.
Though Master Chi had wondered where Adenan had been for the past few hours. He had assumed that Adenan was with his friend, Bethrona Da'atarka, the daughter of a Senator. Adenan had lately gone to Bethrona's house, so that's why he had suspected that, but Adenan's latest move surprised Master Chi.
Master Chi was Pantoran, who looked just like humans, but their skin was blue and hair purple, white or even brown. Master Chi's hair was white, he wore White Jedi robes and his silver lightsaber hilt lined with gold. His lightsaber colour was blue.
Master Chi also couldn't believe that Adenan had been acknowledged by Anakin Skywalker, someone who didn't normally acknowledge just anyone, especially someone like Adenan, who was partially known, but not exactly famous enough to appear in news headlines all the time.
He also had a feeling that something great would happen that would be a turning point of his life, he and his first, official Padawan, Faro Sheekano, a Rodian friend of Adenan, bought suitcases for it, just in case they had to move.
Master Chi even got opinions of younglings and other Padawans about this. There were many theories, like one that Anakin and Adenan had gone together romantically, Master Chi knew that Adenan had a crush on a girl his age, so he knew that the first theory was untrue. And Adenan never went out with guys even if his life depended on it. And most female Jedi also denied that to the point of bringing up past loves of Anakin and girls who were chasing after Adenan.
The second theory was that Anakin had kidnapped Adenan, that theory was popular with the Padawans, but Master Chi knew that Anakin Skywalker would never kidnap anyone.
And due to Senator Amidala leaving the Senate like Anakin and Adenan at the same time, the third theory was that either Anakin or Adenan fell in love with Padmé, which Master Chi knew was the truest of the others, and the fourth theory being that Padmé being kidnapped by both Anakin and Adenan. But Master Chi decided not to comment on these theories publically, and went to pack his suitcase.
In the Chancellor's Office, the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious was seething, being that Anakin Skywalker abruptly left and the fact that Skywalker was no where to be seen or sensed. He could not sense Padmé Amidala, a thorn to his side and the second Jedi that went with them.
Sidious wore the guise of a old man named Sheev Palpatine, the Chancellor of the Republic. But inside, he had a plot going on for many years, one that could overthrow the Republic and turn it into an Empire. He had built the Separatist army that was in war with the Republic, his plans were almost complete, but he needed Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala to complete his plans fully. Two people who simply weren't in sight physically or in the Force.
And that made him angry, his plans were in ruin, and he didn't know what to do. He simply couldn't make a new apprentice, so he knew that waiting was actually the quickest and most efficient option.
He would get Anakin Skywalker soon…
Soon, Anakin Skywalker will be his apprentice
So, the Jedi will search for Anakin and Adenan, and Chancellor Palpatine is angry. What will happen next? Keep reading to find out! NEXT CHAPTER: THE FIND STARTS
