15-Pity
Anakin's POV
We found Dookus ship flying over Coruscant in space and we flew around it trying to find an entrance. "We're going to have to lower the shields in order for us to go in!" I heard Obi-Wan over my headset. And almost as quickly as he spoke the shields covering the hangar were lowered. "Hmm I guess it appears he is expecting us."
We flew into the hangar and were immediately greeted with battledroids. We hopped out of our fighters with our weapons in hand and began deflecting their blasts and slicing through them until there were none left.
"I sense Count Dooku is above us," Obi-Wan looked towards the ceiling. R2 hopped out of the ship and joined me at my side.
"Then that's where we're gonna go." If he's there then (y/n) is going to be close by. I handed R2 a comlink so I would be able to call him if we need any help, "Take this and listen for any instructions from us R2." He beeped in response while grabbing the device from my hand and we headed towards the elevators.
I pressed the button for the elevator and we wait for it to open and when it finally does there are a dozen battledroids inside and they all point their weapons at us, "Hands up Jedi." One of the droids demands as the other ones behind him repeat 'Roger Roger.'
Obi-Wan and I raised our hands up in fake defeat, "Oh no you've got us now." Obi-Wan teased and I let out a small laugh before we ignited our sabers and struck them down as they screamed in their mechanical voices. "Roger..."
"Roger." We mocked the droids and laughed together.
I kicked their parts aside and we stepped into the elevator. The elevator begins to move and we started to come up with a battle plan against Dooku and get (y/n) back.
The elevator screeched to a sudden stop. "Did you press the stop button?" ObI-Wan questioned me.
I gave him a look of confusion mixed with annoyance, "Did it look like I pressed the stop button?"
"Well no something must be wrong with the mechanics then."
"Not to worry master, we simply take another elevator." I reached towards the panel and pressed the button to open the elevator doors and we were greeted with battle droids and destroyers.
"Bad idea!" I shouted as I was deflecting shots.
"No really!?" Obi-Wan shouted back and reached over to close the elevator doors. We both sighed in relief as they closed but we could still hear the banging on the doors. "They'll break in eventually, we need to get this elevator moving." He pulled the comlink out of his belt, "R2 activate elevator 31174."
A few seconds later we started to plummet down and we both held onto the walls to avoid falling over, "No R2! We need to be going up not down!" He shouted through the device and the elevator came to an abrupt stop which caused me to finally fall over and I grunted in pain as I smacked my head on the floor and Obi-Wan gave me a look of amusement.
The elevator started to move up and Obi-wan sighed, "That droid really needs to-"
"Hey hey no loose wire jokes," I interjected as I got to my feet.
"Did I say anything?!" He exclaimed.
"He's trying." I defended my droid.
"I didn't say anything!"
The elevator doors opened and we walked into a room to see Dooku sitting on a chair and Darth Izdaja was standing behind him and the crack on her mask was gone so I could no longer see her face.
"Dooku always a pleasure," Obi-Wan scoffed as we walked down the steps to stand a few feet from them. I looked around the room and didn't see (y/n) anywhere.
"Where is she?" I growled.
"Who?" Dooku chuckled.
"Don't play dumb with me Dooku I know you took her!" I shouted and stepped towards him while placing my hand on my weapons handle in a threatening manner. Obi-Wan placed an arm in front of me to stop me from advancing, he could sense my distress and knew I would jump the gun and likely get hurt.
"She's here," He smiled and I couldn't help but sense there was another hidden meaning to his words, "And unharmed but we'll get to that later," he waved his hand for Izdaja to stand in front of him. "Izdaja?"
"Yes master."
"Entertain me." He waved his hands towards Obi-Wan and I. She pulled out her weapons and ignited them. We dropped our cloaks to floor to prepare for the battle that was about to ensue.
The conflict I felt in her from the last encounter was no longer there. She didn't even feel the same, almost like she was a completely different person. We were hoping we could shift her to our side to benefit us but her corruption has become so deep I don't think that's possible anymore. All I can feel is hatred and a lust for vengeance radiating off from her.
"Let's finish this Skywalker." She raged and advanced towards us. Our blades clashed with hers and we all danced together with sparks of red and blue filling the room. She used the force and Shoved me aside and began to aggressively attack Obi-Wan who was barely holding it together, "I thought someone with your reputation Kenobi might prove to be more of a challenge." She chuckled, "But your powers are weak." She threw him off the balcony and he hit the floor with a thud and was knocked unconscious.
"Obi-Wan!" I shouted and stood up to run after him.
Izdaja jumped from the balcony and landed next to him, "Pity." She lifted her weapons and was about to strike him when I clashed my sword with hers. She grunted in frustration and jumped back a few feet from me. I checked Obi-Wan real quick to make sure he was still breathing and when I could see that he was I picked up his saber so I had two just like Izdaja.
"What happened to you.." I spoke but she remained silent, "Last time we met I felt that you wanted to be good to do the right thing, you didn't even kill me when you could have."
I couldn't see the expression on her face but I could feel her become confused and her head turned towards to Dooku like she was expecting an answer from him. "Don't listen to him child he's just trying to confuse you."
Her head turned back to me, "You're the one who tried to kill me!" She spat.
I furrowed my brows in confusion, "What? No I didn't I tried to help you!" I exclaimed.
"How is leaving me to die helping me!" She screamed and ran towards me and I lifted my weapons in defense.
What the hell is she talking about?
Her moves were aggressive and if I let my guard down even a little she would win this battle. After a few moments of strikes I used the force and pushed her away from me so I could catch my breathe.
"What are you talking about I never did anything like that." I defended myself and I could only feel her anger growing more.
"Liar!" She snapped, "You Jedi have your codes but you're nothing but a bunch of hypocrites!"
I was confused I had no idea what she was talking about but I knew I wasn't going to get through to her whatever twisted thing Dooku has done to her has clouded her mind. I glanced over at Dooku and he was glaring at me. Izdaja was a good distance away and I could reach him before she does. I ran to him and I could hear her steps behind me but I was too quick, I stood next to Dooku and held one of the weapons to his neck. "Stop!" He yelled and Izdaja stopped moving and she was only a few feet away from where I was.
"Drop your weapons Izdaja." I urged her and she looked to Dooku who nodded at her and she did what I told her to do. "Good now kick them to the side." I demanded and she did. "Now don't move." I told her before shifting my attention back to Dooku, "I'm only going to ask this once, where is she?" I was tired of this game I just wanted (y/n) back I don't even care about anything else right now except for her.
Dooku laughed but gave no other response and my anger and fear grew. I inched the weapon closer and he stopped laughing. "If you hurt her in any way I will kill you and bring this entire ship down." I growled.
"It's not me you need to worry about, it's yourself."
"Anakin!" I heard Obi-Wan yell and I turned to see that in my rage, I didn't notice that Izdaja already picked up her weapons and she was coming right towards me. I quickly spun to kick her and knocked her to the ground. She gasped for air and sat up. But I placed my weapons around her neck in an x formation to stop her from going any further.
"Do it Skywalker, kill an unarmed woman in cold blood." Dooku hissed.
"Anakin don't!" I heard Obi-Wan, but I didn't take my eyes off of the masked woman. Something about her, being this close to her, felt familiar.
"Go ahead, finish what you started." She stated and my grip tightened on my weapons.
"I don't know what he's told you but I never tried to kill you Izdaja, I wanted to help you!"
She chuckled darkly, "Says the man holding the weapons to my neck."
I shook my head," You've given me no choice."
"Look me in the eyes if you're going to kill me." She spat.
I dropped one of my weapons from her and I used my now free hand to grab onto the mask and I lifted it to reveal.. No.
I dropped the mask to the floor and backed away from her. I heard Obi-Wan let out a gasp from the other side of the room.
"(y/n)?" I felt my heart break when I looked into her eyes. Her cold eyes, they weren't the same (y/e/c) I was so used to. But they were glowing yellow.
(a/n hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please let me know what you think!)
