=========================

Ardan managed to sneak onto the first ship he found and payed his way to Daiyu, it took longer then he would have wanted but honestly, late is better then never, the first thing he did when he landed was lift his hood over his head, Ardan's one of the most wanted men in the Galaxy right now and being seen here might not go to well.

Ardan used the Force to find where Obi-Wan is and it took a little longer as the man has lost a lot of his power over the passed 10 years but it's still there seemingly locked away, Ardan used the Force to confuse the guards and others as he worked his way towards his old mentor.

Once he did catch up to him Ardan saw his friend in a little pickle as he was pined to the wall by two guys while another talks trash.

Vect: I didn't know that Jedi could bleed. I'm surprised you fell for it. I figured you'd be smarter than to risk everything for a spoiled little brat.

Ardan then heard what sounded like a punch and Obi-Wan grunt, Ardan could step in right now but where's the fun in that.

Vect: The Inquisitor really figured you out. They'll be here soon. The other one won't be happy the other Jedi isn't here, what's his name. Solari or something...

This caught Ardan's attention the most, not that the Inquisitors are after him but why one has gone through all of this to trap him.

Vect: ... It doesn't matter, ever way, when they arrive we'll be rich and you'll be dead. Maybe we'll find someone he cared about and trap him as well.

Ardan's had enough fun as all he could think about was either Kyly or Luke getting hurt and he didn't like the idea of that so he stepped into the door way and got their attention.

Ardan: Hey...

All four of them looked to Ardan as he still has his hood up...

... And he looked kind of cool in the with the lights behind him making it so they can't see his face but Obi-Wan knew it was him.

Ardan: ... Let him go.

Vect was holding Obi-Wan's Lightsaber while twirling it around like it's a toy, Ardan saw they weren't going to do it any.

Vect: Or what?

Ardan was hoping he's ask that and with just the slightest wave of Ardan's left hand Vect flow into the wall on the left of Ardan, the other two looked shocked for a second as they dropped Obi-Wan and Ardan used the Force to catch his Saber before it hit the floor.

Ardan looked to the others as they seemed to recuperate and go to attack Ardan but Ardan just pushed them both into the wall at the back knocking them out as well.

Obi-Wan: You took your time.

Obi-Wan panted and wiped the blood from his nose as Ardan held his Saber out to him after dropping his hood.

Ardan: Here, you dropped this.

Obi-Wan took his Saber back with a slight chuckle as that was what Ardan said to him when they fought Jango Fett back on Kaminoan.

Ardan: Let's go and find that girl.

Obi-Wan agreed and they both left the room just as two Inquisitors came walking towards where they are one was the Third Sister known as Reva, she's on a mission to kill Obi-Wan the other is the Second Brother second to only the Grand Inquisitor but power wise know one knows, some say he's as powerful as Vader himself, others are not so sure, all they know is that he wants Ardan's head on a pike...

... Ardan and Obi-Wan made their way to another room nearby as they searched a few others but came up empty, Obi-Wan used a key card to open the door just as Ardan was about to warn him, Obi-Wan walked right into a metal bar in his stomach, he really has lost his way with the Force.

Obi-Wan: Wait.

Leia went to run but ran right into Ardan, Ardan lifted her into his arms and walked her back into the room and towards the center of the room

Leia: Let go of me!

Ardan sat her down as Obi-Wan regained himself and held the girl in place, Leia tried to fight her way out but she couldn't do much as a 10 year old girl it was impressive spirit to be honest, Obi-Wan let her go though and stood by Ardan as they made sure she couldn't run off again.

Leia: Who are you?

Ardan stepped out into the hall way as he could sense the Inquisitors coming towards them, they can't sense him be he can sense them.

Obi-Wan: Your father sent us. We're here to help you.

Obi-Wan said backing away from Leia showing her that he's not a threat to her hoping she would relax a little.

Leia: Where's the army?

Ardan walked back into the room and looked to her.

Ardan: Kid, I am the army.

He then turned to Obi-Wan and told him about the trouble heading their way and that the need to move fast, Leia wasn't listening, she was more concerned about the Saber he has on his hip that she can see.

Obi-Wan: Come. We're gonna get you out of here.

Ardan walked back out the room making sure the coast is clear while Obi-Wan gently takes Leia's hand and leads her out the door.

Leia: Why should I trust you?

Leia asked as they carefully walked towards Ardan, Ardan told them their alright to come out as Obi-Wan answered her.

Obi-Wan: Would you rather sat here? Now, let's go.

Obi-Wan and Leia followed Ardan as he lead them out of trouble and away from the Inquisitors.

Obi-Wan: Come. Keep your head down.

Obi-Wan and Leia are wearing disguise of sorts, it actually looks like their wearing coloured trash bags but Ardan's not one to judge, he's just walking along with his hood covering his face once again.

Leia: This would've been easier with the army.

Ardan was appreciating Luke's stubbornness so much more spending time with Leia, he's only been with her 20 minutes if that and she's driving him insane.

Ardan: Listen kid...

Ardan stopped them from walking by kneeling down in front of Leia forcing her to look at him.

Ardan: ... We're not getting payed to be here, okay. Unlike your precious army, we're risking our lives for you...

Ardan then stood up and looked to Obi-Wan.

Ardan: ... Some of us more then others.

Ardan then walked off as Obi-Wan knew he was talking about Kyly and Luke, Leia was clearly not used to being talked to like that and looked up to Obi-Wan as Obi-Wan looked to her.

Obi-Wan: Don't mind him, he just misses his family.

Obi-Wan took Leia's hand again and they both caught up with Ardan as he just wanted this over with and to get home, meanwhile the Second Brother and Third Sister made it to were Vect told them the Jedi is but when they got there, they just saw them knocked out from Ardan earlier.

Second Brother: He's here.

He said under his helmet sounding pretty excited about it and pleased to here it, the Second Brother is excited for the chase while the Third Sister, not so much.

Reva: Where is he?

Reva waited for an answer as they all slowly got to their feet the Second Brother however tried to sense Ardan but it didn't work, Obi-Wan however knew they needed a new disguise so he directed Leia to a nearby clothes stand to buy some as Ardan kept watch.

Obi-Wan: Come in here. We have to change.

Obi-Wan took his trash bag off allowing Leia to see his Saber and she pointed to it.

Leia: Is that a...?

Obi-Wan looked to Obi-Wan as she realised something and the penny dropped.

Leia: You're a Jedi? You're both Jedi?

She said a little too loud as Ardan turned to look at her over her shoulder and Obi-Wan shushed her, this really isn't the place to go shouting that out in.

Leia: It's just... you seem kind of old and beat up.

Ardan sniggered to that as Obi-Wan throw something at his head but Ardan pushed it away before it could even think of hitting him.

Ardan: Too weak, old man.

Ardan is now having fun and once again it's at Obi-Wan's expense, Obi-Wan just ignored him and knelt down to Leia's level.

Obi-Wan: There is a port across the city. We need to make the last transport.

Leia listened to her as she turned and Ardan looked to the side for a second.

Leia: Okay, then lets go.

Ardan heard Obi-wan tell her to wait and looked to see Leia standing in front of a giant alien that looked like he ate 7 Chewbacca's, Ardan misses Chewie and hopes he's okay, Ardan watched though as Obi-Wan stood in front of the young girl and bent down to her level.

Obi-Wan: You have no idea what we're risking being here, Your Highness. From now on, you'll do exactly as you're told, understood?

Leia nodded still a little shell shocked from seeing her first alien up close like that, Obi-Wan then took her hand and guided her towards the port as Ardan has no intention of telling Leia what to do, she's Obi-Wan's responsibility, Ardan is just here so he doesn't get himself killed.

The Second Brother and Third Sister walked out of the building to see the Grand Inquisitor, the Fifth Brother and Fourth Sister walking towards them with a purpose.

 Grand Inquisitor: You would kidnap an Imperial Senator's child?

The Second Brother just walked passed them like it was nothing to him, he didn't order the kid to be taken it's not his burden to bare he just wants Ardan to beg for his life before he takes it away from him.

Ardan stopped them from walking as a load of beeping was going off at once, Ardan and Obi-Wan looked around to see that they are both now wanted men, more so then they were before.

Obi-Wan: Come on.

Obi-Wan instructed lifting his hood over his head and walking with Leia beside him and Ardan walking behind them just encase, Obi-Wan lead Leia over to another clothes station and pulled an item of clothing for Leia to put on and keep warm.

Obi-Wan: Here, put this on.

Ardan watched as Leia walked over to the pretty sparkly dressed and looked it over.

Leia: Can I try this one instead?

She asked as stealth and the element of surprise clearly wasn't drilled into this kid yet for a Princess she's not very well taught for what to do if this was to happen to her, Luke knows what to do if something happens to Ardan and Kyly, he's to take BD and the ship their building to Tatooine, BD has been programmed with the direction and the ship will take him there safely.

Obi-Wan: Half the city is looking for you. Put this on.

Obi-Wan helped her put on the little green coat as Leia saw something she liked on the table, Ardan watched amused as he could stop her but he's here because Obi-Wan asked him to be, the least he can do is have a little fun watching her drive him just as crazy as she's driving Ardan.

Obi-Wan: A little green cape.

Obi-Wan was about to pay for it as Leia walked over and picked up a pair of gloves putting them on, Ardan just smiled while keeping an eye out, Ardan's had his fun of raising Luke for the passed 10 years, now it's time for Obi-Wan to experience what it's like to have kids around.

Obi-Wan: You don't need those...

Leia ignored him and continued to slide them on her hands, Obi-Wan looked to Ardan for help but Ardan just shrugged not moving a muscle, Obi-Wan just decided to give in.

Obi-Wan: ... And the Gloves. Thank you.

Obi-Wan walked over to them again and moved down towards Leia's level as he gave her instructions.

Obi-Wan: Now, if anyone asks, we're farmers from Tawl and you're my daughter.

Ardan kept an eye out but still listened to the story just encase he needs it to get out of trouble.

Leia: Granddaughter, maybe.

Ardan chuckled to her as Obi-Wan either didn't hear her or did and wanted to see if she'll say it again.

Obi-Wan: What?

Ardan looked to Leia as she was more like her mother then anyone could have expected her to be.

Leia: Nothing.

Leia then walked off with Obi-Wan and the chuckling Ardan close behind hoping that it'll be a smooth trip from here to the port, then again it never is really is it...
