Chapter 7: Dooku Captured
Manhunt!
After a long and perilous search, the Jedi finally track down Separatist leader, Count Dooku.
During a heroic attempt to capture the Count, Anakin Skywalker has gone missing.
Having lost contact with Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawanx Nadia Aomori heads towards their friend's last known location, a lone Separatist frigate in the far reaches of the Outer Rim.
In Space…
Obi-Wan and Nadia flew over to the top of the Separatist frigate while wearing their asteroid clothing.
Obi-Wan pressed a button and the entrance opened causing him and his Padawan to go inside.
Nadia crept along the darkened halls of the Separatist frigate alongside Obi-Wan.
The two of them were now no longer wearing their asteroid clothing.
Now they were just a few feet away from the detention block, where Anakin was sure to be.
The two Jedi then rushed from a single droid in the hall and into the detention block hallways.
Obi-Wan pressed a button to reveal two prisoners in a cell.
"Don't bother to get up."Obi-Wan remarked. "You're not the prisoner we're looking for."
The Jedi Master pressed a button and closed the prisoner cell making Nadia chuckle.
"Seriously?"Nadia asked.
Obi-Wan shrugged in respond.
They then went to the next cell and pressed the button to open it.
The two went inside and found it empty.
Nadia's ruby red eyes narrowed, when they felt they were being watched.
A figure jumped from behind them.
Obi-Wan pointed his lightsaber at the figure, which turned out to be Anakin.
"Oh, it's you and Kitty."Anakin commented.
Nadia glared at Anakin.
"Hey!"Nadia snapped. "Quit calling me that!"
Obi-Wan deactivated his lightsaber.
"This is how you thank us for rescuing you?"Obi-Wan asked.
"Pounce on us from the ceiling?"Nadia scoffed and folded her arms. "Gosh, I expected a better way."
"Kind of difficult without a lightsaber."Anakin stated.
Obi-Wan handed Anakin his lightsaber.
"Thanks."Anakin thanked.
"Did you manage to locate Dooku befor land in jail?"Obi-Wan asked.
The three Jedi began to walk out of the cell.
"I know he's on board."Anakin declared. "Might be able to do something about it if I had my weapon."
"It was important for you to arrive without it."Obi-Wan commented.
"That would make your capture look convincing otherwise you would be dead, pretty boy."Nadia sneered with a teasing smirk.
"Oh, he would be convinced alright."Anakin complemented. "But how can I'm the one getting caught all the time? It doesn't look good."
"When you're a Jedi Master, you can make the plan."Obi-Wan admitted.
"That's just it."Anakin responded. "How can I become a Jedi Master if I'm always getting caught?"
"At least you're a master at getting caught."Nadia joked.
"Very funny, Dia."Anakin said sarcastically.
It was not long until Obi-Wan, Anakin and Nadia reached Count Dooku.
The doors slid opened revealing Count Dooku in a meditative position in the middle of the room.
"Surprise, surprise."Anakin commented.
Obi-Wan and Anakin activated their blue lightsabers, while Nadia activated her aqua lightsaber.
"If it isn't Count Dooku."Obi-Wan responded.
"Sith trash."Nadia growled.
"Obi-Wan Kenobi."Count Dooku replied. "I thought I sensed an unpleasant disturbance in the Force, I see you've freed young Skywalker with your little padawan, where might he be if you weren't always around to rescue him?"
Suddenly, the ship was rocked by sudden fire from another ship.
"Sir, there's a Jedi cruiser attacking."A battle droid announced.
It seemed Ferus and Ahsoka has arrived.
In the Star Cruiser...
Rex was with Ferus and Ahsoka.
"Let's try not to blow up the ship before they get off this time."Ahsoka suggested.
"You got that right."Ferus agreed.
Back in the Separatist frigate...
"Your ship is surrounded Count."Anakin stated. "Republic troops are boarding as we speak."
Obi-Wan, Anakin and Nadia stood in a fighting stance.
"Jedi fools."Count Dooku retorted coldly.
Then the small spot where Count Dooku was sitting on, collapsed into an escape tunnel, effectively whisking him away.
"I should have seen that coming."Obi-Wan said.
Anakin was moving though, standing ready at the edge of the tunnel.
"What are you doing?"Nadia asked.
"Following him."Anakin said as he deactivated his lightsaber.
"Not that way."Obi-Wan protested. "We need to cut him off."
"You two cut him off."Anakin insisted as he went down the tunnel. "I'll follow him and meet you two at the hangar!"
Obi-Wan frowned at his former apprentice's decision.
"Why do I even try?"Obi-Wan questioned.
Nadia giggled before she and her master ran to the room's exit.
As Anakin followed Count Dooku down the tunnel.
The Sith Lord used his Force Lightening to strike the Jedi Knight.
However, Anakin used his lightsaber to block it.
Anakin then notice two roads and landed between them.
But didn't know, which way the count went.
"Oh, great."Anakin muttered.
Count Dooku landed in front of the battle droids.
"Your ship is ready, sir."A battle droid reported.
"Good."Count Dooku replied.
Meanwhile...
Obi-Wan and Nadia came into a room and saw Count Dooku taking off on a ship.
The two then notice a shuttle and started running towards it.
The Jedi Master and his Padawan took out their lightsabers to take down three battle droids that were next to the shuttle.
Nadia sat down on one of the seats as Obi-Wan powered up the shuttle.
Anakin activated his lightsaber to destroy a battle droid as he went on the shuttle's ramp and went inside.
"I thought you were following Dooku."Obi-Wan informed.
Anakin sat down next to Obi-Wan.
"I was."Anakin stated. "I followed him here."
The shuttle began to take off as the entrance was about to close.
"Hang on."Anakin instructed.
Then the shuttle went out of the Separatist frigate and followed after Count Dooku's ship.
Nadia contacted her companions in her comlink.
"Ferus, Ahsoka, Dooku managed to escape."Nadia said in her comlink. "We're in pursuit, but we could use reinforcements, follow us in what ships you can round up."
"We'll get there as soon as we can, Dia."Ahsoka replied.
Ahsoka then ended the call.
The shuttle started firing at the Separatist fighter ships and taking them down.
Then Obi-Wan fired a shot and hit Count Dooku's ship.
"That was easy."Anakin sneered.
"Lucky for you, I'm an excellent shot."Obi-Wan remarked.
"Well, now those fighters are attacking, Master."Nadia warned.
"I'm on it."Obi-Wan replied.
Nadia gulped nervously as she gripped her seat tightly.
Then a few more Separatists fighter ships zoomed passed them.
"Uh, he's getting too close."Anakin stated.
Then the shuttle got hit by a Separatist blast.
"Lucky for you, I'm an excellent pilot!"Anakin announced.
The three Jedi entered the atmosphere of the blue planet, scraping on the ground roughly.
"For all your expertise, this is not a very smooth landing."Obi-Wan declared.
"And if you'd hit that second fighter, we wouldn't be in this mess."Anakin protested.
"Quit arguing already!"Nadia stated angrily.
After a rough ride on the ground, the ship finally stopped.
Nadia let out a breath of relief.
"We're alive."Nadia muttered.
The two Jedi and the Padawan then went off the shuttle.
"I've had better landings."Obi-Wan admitted.
"Dooku."Anakin retorted.
Anakin pointed at the direction, where the Sith Lord's ship landed.
The three Jedi walked up to the count's ship and noticed it was empty.
They notice a beacon beeping on the ship.
"What's this, a homing beacon?"Obi-Wan asked.
"Which means the distinguished Count is waiting for help."Anakin assuned.
"So he can't be far off."Nadia suggested.
"His engine is damaged."Obi-Wan exclaimed while putting his hand on his chin. "He's not going anywhere."
"Not without a homing beacon."Anakin remarked.
Anakin activated his lightsaber to destroy the beacon, so that Count Dooku's reinforcements.
Obi-Wan notice a bunch of caves near them.
"There."Obi-Wan said. "Caves are a good start."
The three Jedi walked into one of the caves, peering into its dark depths from the entrance.
"Strange."Nadia mumbled.
"You sense it too, young one."Obi-Wan stated. "Many life forms in there."
"And Dooku's one of them."Anakin declared.
Anakin ignited his lightsaber.
"Let's try to get him before something else does."Obi-Wan suggested.
Obi-Wan activated his lightsaber as well.
Nadia activated her lightsaber and followed close behind the two men.
They entered the cave, moving slowly and cautiously as they looked around.
"Master, it's quite weird that we feel lots of life forms in this cave."Nadia commented and frowned. "But I feel something is not right about..."
A roar suddenly echoed through the cave.
"What's that?"Obi-Wan asked sharply.
The three Jedi all came to a halt and looked around.
His question was followed by a cracking, rumbling sound, and they all went on the defensive, looking around.
They looked up to see rocks and bolders falling swiftly towards them from the ceiling.
"Run!"Obi-Wan shouted.
Obi-Wan jumped out of the away as the rocks fell around the group.
Anakin started throwing some rocks out of the way to look for Obi-Wan and Nadia.
"Master! Nadia!"Anakin yelled out as he picked another large rock. "Obi-Wan, Nadia, can you two hear me?"
There he saw Nadia lying on the floor.
"Nadia!"Anakin said as he helped the fourteen year old girl. "Are yoy okay?"
Nadia coughed from the dust, flinching as some smaller rocks pattered against her face.
"Yeah, I'm fine."Nadia answered and a glare appeared on her face. "But next time if we catch Dooku, I'm gonna end him."
Then a bunch of rocks started to collapse in front of them, but the rocks all the sudden fell around them.
Anakin and Nadia spotted Obi-Wan.
"Master!"Anakin said.
"You're alive!"Nadia said in relief.
"Anakin, Nadia, when I tell you two to run, run."Obi-Wan instructed as he went up to them and notice Anakin was missing his lightsaber. "And where's your lightsaber?"
"It got knocked out of my hand."Anakin admitted.
"By a rock?"Obi-Wan questioned.
"Yeah, by a rock."Anakin repeated with an unsure look. "It's got to be here somewhere."
Obi-Wan and Nadia smiled at Anakin.
Nadia chuckled and folded her arms.
"That is a fake excuse."Nadia complemented.
"You know what would be helpful?"Anakin asked as he looked around. "A little light."
"Certainly."Obi-Wan responded.
Obi-Wan and Nadia activated their lightsabers.
But then Obi-Wan's lightsaber deactivated, leaving his Padawan's lightsaber the only one on.
"Silly thing."Obi-Wan exclaimed. "It was just working a minute ago."
"You don't suppose it was hit by a rock, do you?"Anakin joked.
Anakin tossed a pebble at Obi-Wan's lightsaber while Nadia quickly choked down her laughter.
Suddenly, Nadia's lightsaber went off too.
"Oh come on!"Nadia scowled.
Then the three Jedi heard the same growling that they heard before.
There they saw a gundark hanging from the ceiling above them.
The trio slowly back away as they eyed the beast.
"Oh, this should be interesting."Obi-Wan muttered.
The gundark started chasing at Anakin while Obi-Wan and Nadia were behind a rock to fix their lightsabers.
"Jump in anytime!"Anakin shouted.
"Oh, you're doing fine."Obi-Wan said while inspecting his lightsaber nonchalantly off to the side.
"She seems to like you, Master Anakin!"Nadia explained with a smirk, while leaning against the rock and tapping on her lightsaber. "I guess because of your good looks!"
"Yeah! Lucky me! This isn't as fun as it looks!"Anakin retorted sarcastically as he jumped down and the gundark was still on his trials. "I thought gundarks were only found on Vanquor!"
"Then this system must be Vanquor."Obi-Wan responded as picked a part of his lightsaber and inspecting it closely.
"Well that makes sense."Nadia said closing her eyes and secretly smiling.
Anakin paused, levitating several boulders and rocks with the Force.
It didn't do anything and the gundark blasted through the rocks, knocking Anakin to the ground.
He clung to the rock at Obi-Wan and Nadia's feet, struggling to get free as the gundark slowly dragged him back by the leg.
"So, that would make this one…"Anakin grunted.
"The mother of all gundarks, precisely."Obi-Wan finished.
Obi-Wan hit his lightsaber against the rock that Anakin had just been clinging desperately to.
"I thought you were one of the toughest Jedi I know, pretty boy."Nadia commented with a smug smile as she knelt down on the rock. "Aren't you supposed to be the hero with no fear."
"Are you two…gonna help me?"Anakin growled.
The gundark hoisted Anakin in the air.
Then Obi-Wan and Nadia used the Force to throw a rock at the gundark.
"Well, you both took your time."Anakin retorted.
Together, the three Jedi used the force to throw rocks at the gundark, until a large pile fell from the top fell on her and making her collapse.
"It's a pity."Anakin remarked. "I was just starting to sense a connection."
"Really?"Nadia asked in disbelief.
"Should I leave you two alone or would you prefer to find a way out of this hole before she wakes up?"Obi-Wan asked.
Then the three Jedi began to walk away and pick up a large rock together.
"Sounds like another Gundark."Obi-Wan assumed.
"I hope not!"Nadia scoffed.
Nadia began focusing on the rock.
"It's too far away to worry about, Nadia."Anakin declared.
"It won't stay far away."Obi-Wan said.
But when the trio threw the rock away it hit the ground causing smoke to come out.
"Great!"Nadia snapped in annoyance. "New problem."
"That's not good."Obi-Wan said.
"It's just gas."Anakin responded.
"Yes."Nadia retorted and coughed. "Probably toxic gas."
"That's good."Anakin answered as he started coughing. "Maybe it'll kill your Gundark."
"And maybe it will kill us."Obi-Wan coughed.
"Come on."Anakin insisted. "Let's get out of here."
Nadia, Obi-Wan and Anakin began to lift a few rocks.
"This isn't gonna work."Anakin groaned. "I can't breathe."
"As always, I'm open to sugges-"Obi-Wan said as he grew weaker.
"Come on, master."Nadia said in worry.
"Don't give up now."Anakin said and collapsed.
Nadia gasped in shock before all three of them fell passed out from the gas.
Then the rocks were thrown out of the way and revealing the day light of the entrance.
Then Obi-Wan, Nadia and Anakin woke up.
"Huh?"Nadia asked in confusion.
"What was that?"Obi-Wan asked.
Anakin coughed. "I have no idea."
"Me neither."Nadia agreed.
Then the smoke cleared off, revealing Ferus and Ahsoka in the entrance.
"Master!"Ahsoka called out.
"Guys!"Ferus shouted.
Nadia smiled, pleased to see Ferus and Ahsoka flanked by a couple of troopers in the entrance.
The raven haired girl walked out as Obi-Wan and Anakin followed her, but they were still coughing.
"Looks like we got here just in time."Ferus assumed.
Anakin frowned at his adopted brother-in-law.
"What do you two mean just in time?"Anakin questioned.
brushing off some dust and standing cockily in front of them.
"You were in very big trouble!"Ahsoka stated with a surprised expression.
"Trouble? We were simply searching for Count Dooku!"Obi-Wan insisted.
Anakin coughed again before smirking slightly.
"Yeah, we had the situation well under control, my little Padawan."Anakin assured.
"Well sort of..."Nadia muttered.
"Oh, I see."Ahsoka stated in annoyance. "So, which part of the situation did you have under control?"
"Was it the blocked entrance, the poison gas or perhaps that gundark behind you?"Ferus said with a sly smile.
"Gundark?"Anakin asked, sounding alarmed.
"Oh, you mean the one that's too far away to worry about?"Obi-Wan suggested.
They turned around to see another angry gundark behind them, not yet out of the cave.
"Yikes!"Nadia muttered.
"Block the entrance!"Ahsoka ordered.
The clone troopers shot at the cave causing another collapse that effectively pinned the gundark.
"There's still Dooku to deal with."Anakin reminded.
Anakin then headed for the transport Ferus and Ahsoka had taken to the planet's surface.
"You let him get away?"Ferus asked in shock.
This caused Anakin to pause.
"No, not let him…get away, exactly, just…"Anakin started.
Anakin began searching for an excuse to give his Padawan and 'brother-in-law'.
Ferus and Ahsoka's raised their eyebrows at Anakin, who glanced at Obi-Wan and Nadia.
"Chime in…anytime."Anakin insisted.
"Oh no, I'm enjoying this far too much."Obi-Wan responded with a smile.
Nadia grinned. "Same here."
Anakin looked as if they had just thrown him to the next pack.
Meanwhile back in Coruscant...
Chancellor Palpatine, Senator Amidala, Mace Windu and Master Yoda were listening to Hondo Ohnaka, a male Weequay pirate who led the Ohnaka Gang on the Outer Rim world of Florrum, on a hologram.
"If you want the Sith Lord, it will cost you a million credits."Hondo insisted. "The payment will be in spice delivered in an unarmed diplomatic ship."
"We will need proof he's alive before agreeing to your terms."Palpatine stated.
"Let me present your fearless Sith Lord."Hondo declared as he showed Dooku. "I'm afraid he's too embarrassed to speak."
"A hologram can be faked."Palpatine commented with a frown.
"You want proof?"Hondo asked and took out his lightsaber. "This is his lightsaber."
"Hmm, yes."Master Yoda responded. "Belongs to Dooku, that lightsaber does."
"This scum having possession of Dooku's lightsaber proves nothing."Palpatine commented.
The Chancellor then stood up from his seat.
"If you refuse, I am sure the Separatist Council will be more than willing to meet my price."Hondo suggested smugly.
"We may never have a better chance to capture Count Dooku."Padme reminded. "We would like to send two Jedi and a Padawan to confirm you have Count Dooku before delivering the ransom."
"Send your Jedi, but they must be unarmed."Hondo instructed.
"Impossible."Padme responded with a glare.
"They will be safe."Hondo assured. "We have no interest in getting involved in your war."
"We've reestablished contact with Kenobi, Skywalker and Aomori."Mace Windu admitted.
"They're in a system close to Florrum."Master Yoda declared. "And most eager to find Dooku, they are."
Back in the Star Cruiser...
Obi-Wan, Anakin, Rex, Ferus, Ahsoka and Nadia were listening to Mace Windu and Yoda in a hologram.
"His only stipulation is that you arrive unarmed."Mace Windu reported.
"Unarmed?"Anakin asked in disapproval.
"We know very little about these pirates."Obi-Wan commented. "We may be walking blind into what could very well be a hostile situation."
"You have a point, master."Nadia agreed.
"We can't let Dooku slip through our fingers again."Mace Windu said. "Report back as soon as you arrive."
Than the holograms of Master Yoda and Mace Windu disappeared.
Anakin pinched the bridge of his nose while shaking his head with a scowl and Nadia slightly shrugged with a frown on her face.
"Well, this should be fun."Obi-Wan assumed.
Afterwards...
Obi-Wan, Anakin and Nadia flew into a shuttle straight to Florrum.
The three jedi walked on the ramp of the ship and into the surface of the planet.
As they walked, a gang group aimed their guns at them.
Nadia looked around with a curious look.
One of the pirates checked each of them, if they had sign of a weapon.
"Follow me."the pirate muttered.
As the three Jedi went to the pirate hideout, they heard loud music and the pirates getting drunk.
"Cheery."Nadia muttered in disgust.
"Lady and gentlemen."Hondo greeted while sitting down and having a drink. "Can I offer you something to drink?"
"No, thank you."Obi-Wan answered.
Hondo handed a drink to them that had green liquid, making Anakin and Nadia have looks of disgust on their faces.
"Congratulations on your capture of Count Dooku, very impressive."Obi-Wan declared, already getting down to business.
"Yes, it was, eh, even a Sith Lord is no match for my warriors!"Hondo said, raising his glass to a group of passed-out drunken pirates off to their side.
"Right."Nadia scoffed under her breath.
"He put up quite a fight! Blasters, cannons, that glowy thing!"Hondo stated waving his arm like he was crudely swinging a lightsaber. "Woom! Woom!"
"You mean a lightsaber?"Obi-Wan asked.
"That's it."Hondo agreed. "And I don't need to tell you, those things can do some damage, carved up some of my best men pretty good before I could get the jump on him."
Nadia noticed the lightsaber that Hondo's pet named Pikk Mukmuk, a Kowakian monkey-lizard, was holding was Anakin's.
"And how exactly did you get the jump on him?"Anakin asked. "With this?"
Anakin then used the Force to get his lightsaber causing the pirates to aim their blasters at him.
Then Pikk Mukmuk went on a pirate's gun and took the lightsaber away from Anakin.
"We have no interest in disagreeing with you."Obi-Wan assured.
"All we want is to confirm you are holding Dooku and we'll go."Nadia complemented.
"I will arrange a meeting."Hondo insisted.
A Moment Later...
Obi-Wan, Nadia and Anakin then went to the room, where Count Dooku was held prisoner.
"Look how the mighty Sith Lord has fallen."Obi-Wan sneered.
"This place suits you, Count."Anakin said with a smile.
Nadia smirked. "Absolutely."
The three Jedi began to circle around Count Dooku.
"It wasn't so long ago that you, yourself were in similar surroundings on my ship."Count Dooku informed.
"Yeah, but now I'm free, and you're not."Anakin declared.
"I'm confident the situation will rectify itself soon."Count Dooku stated. "Soon..."
"Soon you'll be brought to trial by the Senate and most likely spend a very long time in a cell just like this one."Obi-Wan said.
"And that's if you're lucky."Anakin stated.
"Or maybe not."Nadia remarked in amusement.
"Oh, my naive young Jedi and Padawan."Count Dooku insulted. "You must be overly optimistic, if you think these Weequayans plan to let you leave this planet."
Anakin chuckled. "They're planet-hopping thieves looking for a quick score."
"Besides, they have no interest in picking a fight with Jedi."Nadia admitted.
"They are devious and deceitful and, most importantly, stupid."Count Dooku commented.
"It's a wonder you don't get along with them, Dooku."Obi-Wan remarked. "You have so much in common."
"You underestimate them at your own peril, Kenobi."Count Dooku stated.
Afterwards...
Obi-Wan, Anakin and Nadia were then walking in the halls.
"I don't know about you, but I could use some rest."Anakin said.
"Yeah."Nadia said with a small yawn. "I could use some beauty sleep."
"Remember, Anakin, Nadia, this could still be a trap."Obi-Wan reminded.
"Master, you're not worried about Dooku, are you?"Nadia asked with a sly smile.
"No, I'm worried about these pirates."Obi-Wan answered.
A Jawa got kicked by a pirate and got thrown to another causing the two pirates to fight.
Nadia gulped nervously at the sight.
"Jedi!"a pirate said. "Now that your business is completed, we invite you to join us in the grand hall for a banquet and a true Weequay banquet is not to be missed."
Obi-Wan, Anakin and Nadia looked at each other.
Then the trio went back on their ship and contacted Chancellor Palpatine, Mace Windu, Senator Kharrus and Representative Binks.
"No question they have Dooku."Obi-Wan reported. "Send the ransom."
"He's being securely held?"Palpatine asked.
"Yeah."Anakin answered. "And very cranky about it."
"A little strange, but it is true."Nadia agreed. "These pirates have Count Dooku in their possession, Chancellor Palpatine."
"Good."Palpatine responded. "Senator Kharrus and Representative Binks will be dispatched immediately."
Then the holograms Chancellor Palpatine, Mace Windu, Senator Kharrus and Representative Binks disappeared from the three Jedi's view.
Obi-Wan and Anakin began to leave before they notice Nadia was sitting down on her seat.
"Young one?"Obi-Wan asked. "Aren't you coming?"
"I'll stay here, in case you two need to contact me, Master."Nadia said before slightly shivering. "I don't like being around drunken pirates."
"Okay, suit yourself."Anakin answered.
"And do be careful."Obi-Wan warned.
Nadia nodded as the two men left the shuttle.
"I got a bad feeling about this."Nadia thought uncomfortably.
In the bar room, a bunch of men were getting drunk.
Obi-Wan and Anakin sat down in the bar.
"Now can I persuade you to join us for a drink?"Hondo asked as he put his hands on Anakin and Obi-Wan's shoulders. "It's a tradition, in the name of friendship."
"All right, but nothing too strong, his flying."Obi-Wan said with a smirk.
Anakin rolled his eyes.
"Bring our guests some refreshments."Hondo ordered.
A waiter secretly put a sprinkle of something in the two jedi's drinks without them noticing.
He then served the cups to the two Jedi.
"To a successful transaction!"Hondo stated.
All the other conscious pirated cheered.
Obi-Wan and Anakin switched their drinks with the nearest pirates using the Force.
"To powerful pirates and new friends of the Republic!"Obi-Wan admitted.
Then Obi-Wan and Anakin both took their first glass.
"Enjoy your evening, gentlemen."Hondo said with a smirk.
Hondo then walked away from the two Jedi.
"I still don't get it."Anakin muttered as he put his drink down.
"Get what?"Obi-Wan asked.
"How a bunch of drunken pirates managed to catch Dooku when we couldn't."Anakin replied.
"Maybe there's a lesson to be learned here."Obi-Wan assumed.
"I still don't get it."Anakin responded.
"It's to remind us to be humble and never too proud to accept a gift when it comes our way."Obi-Wan exclaimed.
"Well, to unexpected gifts, then."Anakin remarked while raising his cup.
"Hear, hear."Obi-Wan answered in toast.
Obi-Wan and Anakin then drank in toast before they started drinking their beverages.
Back in the Shuttle...
Nadia was still in her seat and was tapping her fingers on the wall.
The teenage girl then growled in pure frustration and stood up, no longer able to keep her patience.
"Ugh!"Nadia growled in annoyance. "What's taking them so long?!"
The raven haired girl put her lightsaber on her belt and went out of the ship.
But when she arrived at the bar, Nadia found everyone completely drunk.
"And this is why I hate drunkers."Nadia thought in disgust.
The Padawan then found Obi-Wan and Anakin.
"Master!"Nadia whispered. "Anakin!"
"Oh hey kitty, your looking lovely today."Anakin slurred.
Anakin put his cup down with a strange smile on his face.
Nadia frowned, when she realized that the two older Jedi gotten drunk.
She shook her head in annoyance.
"How many drinks did you two have?"Nadia questioned.
"Just a few, while you were out."Obi-Wan admitted.
"Are you guys able to stand?"Nadia asked in concern. "Because we should really get going..."
The raven haired girl felt few of the pirates watching them.
Anakin and Obi-Wan stood up from their seats.
"See?"Anakin stated and collapsed on the floor. "Perfectly fine..."
Obi-Wan hit his knees and passed out coldly as well.
"Master!"Nadia shouted. "Anakin!"
Nadia knelt down and tried to help them up.
"Come on!"Nadia demanded. "We gotta-"
Nadia was stopped by a blaster muzzled on her back.
"Don't move, Jedi."Hondo ordered.
Nadia narrowed her eyes.
Her suspicions were correct about the pirates.
"Or else what, pirate?"Nadia growled.
Nadia stood up and took out her lightsaber.
"Your friends die."Hondo threatened.
Nadia notice a few pirate members were aiming their guns at Obi-Wan and Anakin.
The fourteen year old girl gritted her teeth, but then brought her lightsaber back to her belt.
She then felt a disturbance approaching from behind.
But when Nadia was about to press her comlink, something stun her painfully on the back and making her collapse next to her Jedi companions.
Then there was black out.
