Chapter 4

" How are we supposed to do this? How are we supposed to find the identity of someone who obviously wants to stay hidden?" Ahsoka asked as we entered the survalence room.

" We will review the video and try to find something that could identify this person. And if we don't then we will look at it again." I explained.

" And if we don't find anything the second time?"

" Then we will tell the council and they will probably send it to someone else."

" Great let's get searching." She smiled.

I put the chip containing the video into the control panel. A hologram of the video spanning over half the room began to play.

" Do we have audio perhaps that might help us identify him?" Ahsoka asked as she paced up and down the room.

" Yes, we do."

I turned the audio on and reset the video to start at the beginning.

" Hey, why don't you leave her alone!" The man yelled.

His deep voice caused everyone to turn to him. Gasps filled the air as he stepped forward.

The man released the woman's purse and shoved her to the ground.

" Why don't you go back to where you came from boy." He sneered pointing the knife towards the man.

He unsheaths his lightsaber and ignites it. The black light hummed as he circled the man, horror edged on his face at the sight of his lightsaber.

His look of horror turned to one of smug.

The person behind him shot at the Jedi. But the Jedi jumped up and deflected the bullet.

People began to scream and scatter.

" How about I make this slightly fairer for you guys." He chuckled putting his lightsaber back onto his belt.

Both of them attacked him at once.

He punched both of them at the same time then using the force he pushed them into an apple stand.

" Come on guys that was too easy. You could have at least gave it a little more effort."

" You think that was all the guys I have?" The man chuckled rubbing the blood dripping from his nose away.

" Now that's better," he mumbled," Okay now let's do this one at a- screw that we're on the streets let's do this street style."

As they ran at him he used his powers and teleported around them hitting each one of them with his mini unlit knives.

Soon all of them were on the ground alongside the other two men.

" One minute and thirty seconds, sweet I beat my old record."

A portal opened later and the man jumped in.

" His mask made his voice unrecognizable but he is definitely a he. The mask wouldn't  make a woman's voice sound that deep." I pointed out.

" Yeah, but I have to be honest I like this guy. He was hilarious I mean I literally wanted to get some popcorn and watch the fight." Ahsoka chuckled.

" Yes I will admit he was entertaining but that doesn't help us identify him."

" Yeah, can you play the part where he was hitting them with the knives maybe the make of the knife will help us figure out who he is?" She suggested.

" How so?" I asked crossing my arms over my chest.

" Well, if Anakin and I had to find someone he would look at any weapon they used because he would say that certain weapons dealers make their weapons in a certain way or even leave a mark to symbolize that the work is theirs like an artist sighing their work." She explained.

" That's a good idea. I'll play back the video."

I played the video back in slow motion and zoomed in on the knives.

I stood back while Ahsoka watched the video will a skilled eye.

I smiled as I watched her. Anakin didn't want to have a Padawan but he did one hell of a job teaching her when he got one.

" Pause the video." She commanded.

I quickly hit the button and paused the video.

" What do you see?" I asked stepping closer.

" All of the knives have a symbol on them. When I saw it in the first one o thought it was a hitch in the making but then I saw it on the ones in his belt and I realized that they are the maker's mark."

I looked at the area she was pointing and indeed there was a mark.

" Well done, I'll have R2 come in and screen it then have him run it through our mainframe, and I'm sure he will find something about the maker of the weapon. We'll done Ahsoka."

R2 arrived three minutes after I called for him.

He took scans of the markings and went straight to the computer scanning through all the known markings.

He let out a beep of dispear when his search came up empty.

" Guess this designer hasn't been discovered." Ahsoka shrugged.

" Yet, R2 pull up the mark on the screen. The computer may have never seen it but that doesn't mean we haven't."

As R2 pulled up the symbol gears began to turn in my head.

" What's wrong?" Ahsoka asked obviously sensing my strong emotions.

" I've seen that symbol before. We need to go to Shmi's apartment." I announced rushing out of the room.

" Wait why Shmi's apartment?" Ahsoka called out rushing after me.

When we reached Shmi's apartment I opened the door and rushed in. 

Padme and Shmi jumped up and screamed in shock at my sudden appearance. 

" What are you doing here?" Padme asked calming herself down. 

" Where are you going?" Shmi yelled at me as I ran to her spare room. 

I ripped through the boxes of Anakin's possessions and pulled out a mini ship he built when he was eleven. It was a birthday gift I gave him and it was something to keep him busy. 

I ran back to the living room where R2 was waiting with everyone else. 

" Why do you have Anakin's toy ship?" Ahsoka asked. 

" R2 pull up the symbol again." 

R2 pulled up the symbol. 

I turned the ship around and finally, I found it. 

I sunk into the chair beside me, my heart lurched with joy. 

" Well, what is it?" Ahsoka asked. 

" Anakin." I smiled. 

" What?" Padme choked back a sob. 

I handed the toy ship to Ahsoka. When she saw the symbol she began to cry with joy. 

" The masked Jedi at the plaza yesterday is Anakin."
