"Anakin, you and Obi-Wan get to your ships and get the Prince, you will. I will get to the trooper transport.” Yoda motioned for the other two Jedi to follow the ship that just blasted away from the secret hanger bay.
The two Jedi nodded to their Grand Master and took off to where they had landed their fighters, just a few minutes ago.
“ Why did you not tell me about you and Padme? You do know that, you could have trusted me, in not telling anyone.” Obi-Wan looked at the younger man beside him.
“Sorry, that I did not tell you. I really wanted too, but we thought it would be best not to, because of our lives as a Senator and Jedi. I did talk Padme into telling you next week, at a private dinner that we were going to have on Naboo. She was also going to have her parents there too.” Anakin looked over to Obi-Wan, just as they came to their ships.
They climbed into their cockpits, with the help of their droids, they started up their ships and made their way up into space.
“I see them. I will try and talk to the Prince, while you knock out the hyper drive and engines, so that way, he cannot get away with Padme.” Obi-Wan looked out the view port and saw the ship that Padme and the crazy man, who kidnapped her right in front of them.
“Got it. Once the ship is dead in space, then I will use the air lock, board the ship and get Padme out of there.” Anakin looked over to the other Jedi and gave him thumbs up.
Anakin took off after the ship, while Obi-Wan hung back and tried to make communication with the crazed man that had kidnapped the Senator.
“Ok, R2. Is there any way we can speed up some, because we have to catch up to the ship that is in front of us? The first thing we need to do, is hit the hyper drive, so that way, they cannot go into hyperspace. Then, we will need to hit the engine.” Anakin told the droid.
R2 gave him an answer, before the ship jerked forward and began to speed up right towards Anakin’s main target.
"Thanks, R2. Now, here comes the fun part, hitting the ship without blowing it up.” Anakin told the droid, as they got closer to the ship.
Anakin was close enough to hit the ship without blowing it up. He pushed the button on the steering stick, the lasers shot out and it hit the hyper drive, with a small amount of explosion.
“Bulls eye. Now, it is time for the engines.” Anakin told the droid, but mostly to himself.
Anakin turned around, so that way, he had to fly away from the other ship. He was a little too close to it and if he fired on it now, he could blow up the whole thing and not only killing the mad Prince but killing Padme too.
When he felt that he was far enough from the other ship, he turned back around and fired on the ship, causing both engines to explode and making the ship dead in space.
"Ok, am taking the top air lock. Whoever comes after me, can take either the side hatch or bottom hatch.” Anakin told the other two Jedi what he was doing.
“Roger that. Good luck, Anakin.” Obi-Wan answered Anakin, as the troop transport came up beside him.
Anakin slowly maneuvered his ship over the dead ship. He grabbed his mask, with a small tank and put it on. He grabbed a rope and tied it around himself, before tying it to a ring, next to his seat. He pushed the button in the panel, and it opened the canopy of his ship.
“Stay here, R2 and I should be back soon.” Anakin told the droid, before stepping off the ship and moving to the hatch, that was on top of the other ship.
Anakin reached the hatch door. He used the Force to open the door, so that way, he could get inside, without making too much noise. Once inside the ship, Anakin made his way to the front of the ship, but stopped, when he heard the voice of Prince Branndyn just below him. He was telling Padme to move down the ladder or he was going to push her down the hole. Anakin slowly went over to the ladder, that headed down through the floor. He realized that they were just below him, after he watched them go down the ladder. He followed their lead and climbed down the ladder. As he touched down onto the floor, he heard Prince Branndyn tell Padme to get inside something. He walked down the small hallway and came into the room, just in time to see Prince Branndyn shut the door of the escape pod, before hitting the release button, on the wall that was next to the door.
“You win, Jedi. I just put her into the escape pod, so do whatever you want to do with me.” Prince Branndyn turned and faced Anakin, as he held out his arms to Anakin, so that way, he could show him that he was unarmed, and surrendering to him.
"We have the escape pod and the Senator is safely on board. Master Yoda, along with Captain Rex, will be joining you on the ship to take the prisoner.” Obi-Wan called out to Anakin.
“Roger that. I have the Prince right here and we are waiting for you guys.” Anakin looked at the Prince, who sat down on the floor and just waited for the troopers to come and get him.
Five minutes later, they felt a tap on the ship . They saw Yoda and Rex, plus two more troopers come into the lounge area, where Anakin and Branndyn had moved to, so that they could just sit and wait for the troopers come and arrest the Prince.
“That was great work. We need to go before the Council, you will, when we get back to Coruscant. See what your fate, they will decide.” Yoda looked up at the young man, as they watch the troopers take Branndyn into custody and lead him to the transport.
“Yes, Master I know. I will do what the Council thinks is best for me and my future with the Jedi.” Anakin nodded, as he truly understood what the old Jedi Master was telling him.
They all went to their ships and headed back to the battle cruiser that was not too far from the system. Padme, Anakin, Obi-Wan and Master Yoda headed back to Coruscant, while the troopers escorted Prince Branndyn and his family to prison. They even freed all the slaves and put the Prime Minister in charge of the planet and the government.
Anakin was in his quarters and was just lying there on the bed. The thought about the saturation he was going to be facing, when he gets back to Coruscant. He had to tell them all about him and Padme and then have to wait for their decision on his future. At the moment, it was a waiting game on his life.
