Anakin and the eight men left the room and headed towards the back of the hut. They went through the kitchen, while making their way to the luxury garden that he had visited many times with Vanessa.
Um, where are we going and why are we stopping here? Anakin looked at the men, as they stopped in the middle of the garden, just after they had passed the pond that him and Vanessa would sit by and even having a picnic here too.
Oh sorry, Anakin. We have to do this to you, but where we are going, needs to be kept a secret for only us. Lord Phyllyp knows about this place and we would like to keep it that way. the leader of the eight men came up to Anakin and placed a cloth bag over his head.
Anakin knew it would be a very wise thing, just to let them do what they needed to do, just to keep their secret.
I understand. Anakin nodded his head, as he felt someone take a hold of his elbow and began to lead him in the direction they need to go.
It is ok. Robie is going to lead you to the place that we are going to. We should be there in about ten minutes. the leader nodded to the person, who was holding onto Anakins elbow.
They moved through more of the garden and around another pond, which was a natural one. They came up to a round tower, that was part of the village wall. The leader of the group looked up to the top of the tower, raised his right arm and waved, as in some kind of code. There was a sound of rocks moving together, as they opened up a secret door that had stairs leading downwards. The small group went forward and went through the secret door that had opened up. They followed the stairs down, before walking down a very long tunnel and then, coming up to a door at the very end of the tunnel. Robie raised his right hand to the one of the rocks on the wall and pushed it, which caused the door in front of them to slide open.
They walked into a very huge room and sitting in the middle of the room, was a small cargo ship. Not very far from it, was the Jedi cargo ship that Obi-Wan used to get here. They walked up the ramp and once inside the ship, a couple of men had gone to the cockpit and started up the ship, while Robie helped Anakin to the couch, in the lounge area and helped him to sit down on the couch.
We will remove the bag, once we are in space. So, please be patient with us. Robie sat down next to Anakin on the couch.
Ok. Anakin nodded his head.
Sure enough, once they were up in space, Robie stood up and took the bag off of Anakins head.
I take it that we are now in space and heading for the asteroid field? Anakin looked up at the person standing in front of him.
Yes. My Legion, and Kyle would like to have you in the cockpit. Robie motion for Anakin to follow him to the cockpit.
Anakin got up from the couch and followed the guy to the cockpit. When they entered, the person in the pilots chair got up, so that way, Anakin could sit down in the chair.
I have already put the coordinates into the Navi-computer. We should be there in two days. Kyle looked up at Anakin, when walked into the small room of the ship.
Ok, that is good. Do we need to fly through the asteroid field? Anakin sat down in the pilots seat next to Kyle.
Yes, sir, we do. The planet is shortly past our asteroid field. and even past our moon. Even like us, they too have an asteroid field. Kyle looked through the view port and saw that they were heading straight for the floating rocks.
Before Anakin could reply to Kyle ,a loud beeping sound was coming from the video-com.
Kyle here, My Lord. Kyle hit the switch and the image of Lord Melrey came up on the console.
Good, you have not enter the field yet. I wanted to give you all new orders. Whatever you all do, I want to have Sir Proteus taken prisoner and I want him very much alive. Lord Melrey ordered his slave.
Yes, My Lord. I will make sure that not only will we have Lady Regina, but will also have Sir Proteus, as our prisoner. Anakin nodded to the image of Lord Melrey.
After confirming his new orders, the communications ended. The ship turned on its own and headed straight for the asteroid field that Anakin would fly them through, before they would go into hyperspace and to their destination. When they were fifty yards from the floating rocks, they turned again and headed for the moon. Once they passed that moon, they will be jumping into hyperspace. It took them twenty minutes to fly passed the moon, because it was one of the largest of the four moons that was orbiting around the smaller planet.Then, they went into hyperspace and headed for the planet of Pluto.
I am heading off to bed. I also suggest that you do the same thing and try to get some rest. Anakin stood up and stretched, before heading out of the cockpit and to his sleeping quarters.
Kyle also got up from his seat and stretched, before following the Jedis lead. He went to his quarters, to his bed and falling into a peaceful sleep for now. Everyone on the ship had also headed for their beds. They fell asleep, so that way, they could get well rested up for the next couple of days that is ahead of them.
