Chapter 10: Obi-Wan's apology
Anakin soon made up with Tala tending an injured Obi-Wan; she implied she was here to help.
And with Stromtroopers coming their way.
No timing to argue Anakin lifts Obi-Wan over his shoulders.
And head for Padme's ship expecting to have Leia with them Anakin had to tell his wife her signal was taking off the planet meaning someone had taken her…again.
Padme weeps again helplessly feeling she may never see her daughter again.
Anakin set Obi-Wan in the bench next to Luke's was still asleep and comforted Padme, promising he won't stop at nothing to get their daughter back.
As soon as the ship was on auto-pilot Tala stepped in the back feeling bad the Skywalkers lost their daughter and she shouldn't have let Leia go on her own.
"Mr. and Mrs. Skywalker I'm really sorry this happened. And I want you both to know I will do everything in my power to help get your daughter back." Tala said.
'What exactly happened down there?" Anakin asked.
"Kneobi was luring them away. I had Leia follow down tunnel to meet with someone that will take her to you." Tala said.
"You…you let her go down there? Alone?" Padme asked.
"I swear I didn't know they were gonna come after her." Tala said.
Anakin gets angry and is tempted to force choke her till she raises her hands in a pleading position.
"Please. Another Sith was gonna kill Master Kenobi." Tala said.
"Another Sith?" Anakin asked.
Anakin remembered that the Qui-Gon force ghost told him another Sith was out there and assumed that's who attacked Obi-Wan.
But his expression did not change Anakin AND were made their daughter was still in danger but the only thing that kept Anakin from snapping…was Luke waking up from his nap and yawning.
"Are we home yet?" Luke asked.
Padme walked to her son and comforted him that will get home soon.
Anakin went to Obi-Wan and forced healed him from the injury Maul gave him but Anakin…was mad at Obi-Wan too; he trusted him to protect his daughter and yet she was taken again.
By the time they arrive at Javin were many from Daiyu that tried to leave like in the original timeline.
Main differences, Anakin being there with Padme and Luke and Obi-Wan was already healed by Anakin so he didn't need to be treated there but…Anakin was still mad and Obi-Wan understood why his daughter was still out there and he…
Anakin stood outside the ship and Padme took Luke with everyone there as did Tala but Obi-Wan…came behind Anakin feeling bad that he left his daughter to be taken…
"Anakin…" Obi-Wan said.
Anakin didn't respond, he just stood there brooding.
"I'm sorry…for all of it…" Obi-Wan said.
"I'm not your failure Obi-Wan. But Leia will be…if anything happens to her." Anakin said angrily.
"I won't let that happen. But I gave Leia the transmitter. We might still find her." Obi-Wan said.
"And that woman? Who left Leia alone?" Anakin asked.
"She wants to help. And we need all the help we can get Anakin. I know who's leading the Inquisitors." Obi-Wan said.
Anakin turns around curiously.
"Who?" Anakin asked.
"Someone we faced during the Clone Wars. The Sith Apprentice before Dooku. Darth Maul." Obi-Wan said.
"Maul? The one who killed Master Qui-Gon?" Anakin asked.
"I'm afraid so. He took over for Palpatine pulling strings on the Senate building this empire they been trying to establish. Now…he wants revenge…on me." Obi-Wan said.
"Why you?" Anakin asked.
"Apparently cutting him in half only made him angry then killed him." Obi-Wan said.
"After killing Qui-Gon that monster had it coming. Didn't we send Asoka to capture him when we went to rescue the Chancellor from Dooku or Grievous?" Anakin asked.
"Yes?" Obi-Wan asked.
"If Maul's alive…he could have done something to her." Anakin said.
"We don't know for sure." Obi-Wan said.
"We never should have sent her out there!" Anakin called.
"Anakin! We've all been played by the Sith. For all we know…Asoka could have escaped from Darth Maul but had to lay low cause of the Clones." Obi-Wan said.
"I guess so." Anakin said.
"Right now what matters is we save your daughter." Obi-Wan said.
"If she has the transmitter then we'll find her. We just have to find where the signal is coming from." Anakin said.
In time Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Padme with her arm around Luke and Tala tracked Leia's transmitting signal and it was located at the Inquisitor's facility around an ocean which is run by the Senate.
Which were told that it be suicide to got there but Anakin and Padme didn't care if their daughter was there they had to get her out no matter what.
Anakin still insists Padme stay here with Luke while he and Obi-Wan rescue Leia but promising her they will bring her back.
They kissed.
And Anakin kneed down to Luke who wanted to go with his parents.
"Can I go with you? Can I please?" Luke asked.
"I need you here son and so does your mother. But I'll be back with your sister and we'll be going home." Anakin said.
Anakin hugs his son and then stands up following Obi-Wan and Tala to another ship and they fly away leaving Padme and Luke in worry and hope they'll make it back with Leia.
