Chapter 29

"What do you mean, I betrayed you?" He asked, pulling the lightsaber away.

I narrowed my eyes at him. He was making this more difficult by the second. I decided I'd just snatch the lightsaber away from him instead of arguing.

I walked away with the lightsaber in my hand, going to all the other Jedi and cutting off their chords around their wrists. They all stood up, being very weak. I've never seen the Council so weak before, literally.

Just as I stood up, a guard came up behind me. Thanks to my quick instincs, I turned around in time, taking the lightsaber, slicing the guard in half. Looks like my Jedi instincts were coming back.

I knew the poison that was injected into us made us weak, and took our Jedi powers away. Whoever that lady is, she has a smart mind.

Anakin went into the back room, and found another lightsaber. He came back out and started taking out all of the guards silently, which he was very good at doing.

Once Windu was untied, he quickly stood up, like he regained a large amount of strength. Sometimes I wonder how he does it.

"Follow my lead, I believe I know the way out," Windu insisted.

"Are you sure Master?" I asked him. After all, I was the one who reconised all of the patterns. I should be the one leading.

"Yes, I'm sure. There's a trap door at the top, that's why we could never see the entrance," he said, looking up.

"And how do you suggest we get up there?" Impatiently sassed Anakin.

"Well maybe..."

I tuned out of the conversation to find my own way out. I looked around the floor, skimming the dead guards for something useful. My eyes landed on one of them, to whom had a comlink on. I went over and snapped it off of his wrist, and clipped in onto my own.

I then tuned into "Republic Radio" and waited for someone to respond.

Finally, I heard someone pick up. However, the signal wasn't very clear, giving me some static.

"Who... who... is.... what.... Republic do... for you?"

I walked around the room, trying to get a better signal, but unfortunately, being underground wasn't going to help that much.

"Hello? Is someone there? This is (L/N) speaking. I'm a Jedi Knight of the Republic. "

This time, it was much more clearer. "Ah yes! Good soldier. What can the Chancellor do for you?"

I sighed in relief, happy I was able to reach someone. "Help! Can you track my comlink? Some Jedi are being held hostage in a torture facility. Please send troops."

Suddenly, the radio went static again. "I'm sorry.... cant.... breaking... maybe... are.... you... there?"

I groaned. Someone was jamming this signal. "Hello? Chancellor? Chancellor!"

Like that, the signal was lost on my radio. Great. How are we going to contact the others now?

I turned around back to the others, and saw Obi-Wan approach me. "Any luck?"

"No, someone jammed the signals."

He raised an eyebrow. "All the guards who are out here are dead, or knocked out terribly. Someone must be awake to jam our signals."

"You really think so?"

"Yes. We must hurry if we're going to find them first," Obi-Wan suggested, looking around for a weapon of some sort. He saw a blaster on the ground, looking at it disgustingly. "This will have to do for now."

I unleashed the lightsaber I currently had, letting the green blade ignite.

Apparently, some other Knights had seen what we were doing, and followed us, some splitting up into groups of two.

I went to the most obvious place first: the control room. I sneaked inside, with Obi-Wan behind me, keeping his blaster ready.

I went inside, treading very carefully, just incase it was the woman or someone else very dangerous.

Once I reached the radio controls, I saw no one was there. I sheathed my lightsaber, clamping it to the rim of my outfit.

"I sense a trap," Muttered Obi-Wan, glancing around the room for anything unsecure.

"Your abilities are coming back too, aren't they?" I asked him, looking at him.

"Yes they are... I'm sensing something else too... I believe they are using our Jedi abilities for a beacon of some sort.. I'm unsure, but they're using them for something."

I nodded, looking at the radio. I tuned the stations back to their appropriate place, to where I could clearly now use the comlink.

I pressed on it, tuning to the Republic signal. "Chancellor, are you there? We have a code red, 04528. Are you there?"

Code red, in the Jedi system, was when the Jedi were missing, and 04528, was when we were being held hostage.

"Yes, loud and clear (Y/N). We will be sending you reinforcements, over," Instead of the Chancellor's voice, it was Rex. Thank the Force.

"Rex! Thank the Force you caught our signal. I'll send you the coordinates from our location, over," I sighed in relief, being happy someone finally caught our signal.

"My pleasure General. Is General Skywalker there? Over."

That was the last name I wanted to hear right now. "Yes... he is. " I paused, calling over Anakin.  "He's coming, over."

Anakin got up, and walked over to the comlink. "Hey Rex! It's so good to hear your voice right now, over."

"Yeah you too General. Now, if you excuse me, I have to go report this to the Chancellor, over."

"Thank you Rex, thank you... over and out."

Anakin smirked, sighing in relief too. "Looks like we're heading home fellas."

"Hold on, before you get all excited Anakin," Windu mentioned, ruining the moment. "Everyone who was here, is now gone. The woman who was keeping everyone captive, is gone." Windu opened her door to her bedroom, revealing an empty room, except all of her furniture in there.

"Great... Now we have a criminal on the loose..." Anakin sighed, rolling his eyes. "Well, let's get to finding these coordinates so we can get the heck outta here."
