Chapter 13
*Obi-wan's POV*
" Found anything!" Ashoka yelled from around the building.
" No!" I yelled back.
Over an hour maybe even two at this point Padme contacted us saying that Anakin had gone missing.
Naturally, Ahsoka, Shmi, the 501st battalion, and I rushed here to Naboo to help with the search. And so far we have found absolutely nothing. As far as we know Anakin just up and vanished.
" I don't think we are going to find anything." Rex shrugged.
" No, we have to keep looking! Obi-wan tell him we need to keep looking!" Shmi sobbed.
She and Padme looked at me with pleading eyes. Ashoka had the exact same expression but I could also tell that she knows what my answer will be.
" I'm sorry but I agree with Rex we won't be able to find anything here. But I will loop the council in and they have better resources than we have. We will find him." I said.
Shmi paced back and for a few seconds holding her breath.
" Fine." She sadly sighed.
" Alright, I'll call the council."
*Anakin's POV*
The dripping water echoed through the damp cave. The silver chains that are clasping my wrists clatter together as I shuffle myself up onto a sitting position.
I woke up just over an hour ago and nobody has come to see me. But I know they are there. I may not be able to see them but I can sense them.
One is definitely Dooku, but the other one I don't recognize. It belongs to the other Sith Lord who attacked me. His power is so strong, not as strong as The Son but strong.
" Hello!" I called out my voice bouncing off the walls back at me.
No answer.
" HELLO!" I screamed louder," I know you're there. Just come out!"
The cave echoed with footsteps as Dooku and his master slowly stepped towards me.
Unlike Dooku, his master had his hood on but I can still see his evil sneer.
" Not so powerful now are you boy?" Dooku grinned.
" I'm just recharging." I chuckled.
" Good we will need you at your full strength if we want to destroy the Republic." The Sith Lord sneered.
" And what makes you think I'll ever help you Sith scum." I growled as I pulled on my chains.
" Foolish Skywalker," He hissed," After I'm done with you there will be no light left in you and you will help us."
" I don't give a crap what you do to me I will never join the dark side. I will fight you and whatever you do to me. My friends will come to find me and we will defeat you. You will lose." I hissed while looking directly into his bright yellow eyes.
He laughed a deep, evil laugh that bounced off the walls and shook the ground beneath our feet.
" We will see." He hissed.
He nodded at Dooku who then stepped towards me and pushed me to my knees. I winced in pain as my knees hit the solid ground.
The Sith Lord stepped towards me, he raised his wrinkled hand to my forehead. And then I felt nothing but pain and the room was filled with my screams.
*Obi-wan's POV*
I sighed as I leaned against the doorframe. I watched as Shmi, Padme, Rex, and Ahsoka paced back and forth around the room.
While the council searches for Anakin using their combined strength I decided to stay and watch over everyone else just in case they are in danger.
" Can I get anyone anything?" 3PO asked.
" No thank you 3PO you are dismissed for the evening." Padme sighed.
" Alright, mistress Padme."
" How much longer." Ahsoka groaned as she dropped down onto the couch.
" They are tracking a very crafty Sith Lord it will take some time."
" What if they can't find him, I mean we haven't been able to track the Sith Lord before what makes them think we can find him now?"
" You're right," I sighed," We are not powerful enough to track him. But we know someone who is."
" And who is that?" Padme asked.
"The Father."
" We are not powerful enough to summoned such a powerful being." Ahsoka said.
" No, but the council together can. Stay here I'll go to them."
" No, we are coming with you." Shmi shook her head.
" No, you are not." I snapped.
" He is my son, I will come with you, we all will."
Together as one, we all rushed up to the council chambers. As the doors slid open the council turned to us in shock.
" What is the meaning of this?" Master Windu asked.
" We know someone who will be able to find Anakin through whatever cloaking ability the Sith Lord has."
" Who do you speak of?" Master Yoda asked.
" The Father on Mortis he has the ultimate power and he will be able to find Anakin." I explained.
" Do you really think it will be safe to bring such a powerful being here?" Master Windu asked.
" Probably not but what other option do we have?" I shrugged.
The council looked between each other in silence.
" A point Master Kenobi has. Summon the Father we must."
Together we sat in a circle with Padme, Shmi, and Rex standing back.
Linking our hands we called out to the father.
Minutes ticked by and nothing happened but we kept going. And soon our resilience paid off as a bright white light began to surround us. And then it swallowed us.
My head was pounding and my eyesight was blurry.
" What the hell happened?" Ahsoka asked.
As I opened my eyes I immediately remembered the setting.
" We're on Mortis." I said.
Pushing myself up I looked around at everyone else. Only Padme, Shmi, Ahsoka, Rex, and I were brought here.
Rex, Padme, and Shmi looked around at the entrancing planet.
" This place is freaky." Rex chuckled.
" Why have you come here?" The Father's voice boomed from behind us.
We spun around to meet his eyes.
Shmi, Padme, and Rex looked up at him with a mixture of fascination and horror.
" We need your help to locate Anakin. The Sith Lord kidnapped him and is using powerful cloaking methods." I explained.
He looked down at his hands for a few seconds then looked back at me.
" Anakin is on Naboo hidden in a dark cave under the ground."
" I know the caves you are talking about." Padme said.
" Thank you." I smiled.
" My pleasure. But you must reach him fast the Sith Lord will most likely try and turn him to his side. And if he succeeds the dark side will concur the galaxy."
The white light surrounded us again and we were transported back into the council chambers.
" What happened?" Master Windu asked.
" Anakin is in caves on Naboo."
" Gather the clones."
Don't worry Anakin we are coming.
*Anakin's POV*
I cried with relief as the Sith Lord stepped back.
"Told......you......I...wouldn't......let.....you win." My voice shook with pain.
" You always were stubborn even when you were a child." He said.
" What did you say?" I hissed.
" I've had my eye on you for quite some time." He smiled," I knew from then you would make a great apprentice."
" You're lying!" I yelled.
" Oh, my dear boy I'm not."
My heart nearly stopped beating at the sound of his voice.
" No, you can't be." My eyes began to cloud with tears.
He slowly raised his hands and lowered his hood.
I looked up at the evil being and Chancellor Palpatine, my mentor, my friend was looking back at me.
