Zyl watched as Mady and that other woman carried out the unconscious body of the senator. He was just about to follow them, when he heard a loud shout.

-Get off of me you bastard! Can't you die already... cursed pile of rusted junk!

He instinctively looked towards the source of that sound, only to see that one of the cut in half droids managed to sneak up on Rark grabbing onto him and trying to hold him down. 

This naturally prompted the other droids to attack him, seeing this Rark quickly activated his jetpack lifting himself and the half body of the clinging on droid up into the air. However just at that moment, a lucky laser beam hit the jetpack on his back which began to release flames on a new unintended opening. 

Zyl saw as Rark realizing what must have happened, disengaged his jetpack and fell towards the ground from a few meters of height. The jetpack however flew widely towards the roof and after crashing into it blew up in a large fireball. As the result of this powerful blast another part of the building's roof came down crashing into the ground flattening a few droids and just narrowly missing Rark who was currently rolling on the ground to get out of the way. 

Zyl watched this with fascination from the side, as his blades cut down another droid. The room was filled with newly created clouds of smoke and dust after the newly crashed down rubble. 

Rark was on half knee at the moment, as he tried to stand up while his body was covered in thick layers of dust and grime. With more then a few new black marks appearing on his armor.  The places where he was shot by plasma beams. He stood up at last while cleaning his helmet's visor with his left hand. 

At that moment both Zyl's and Rark's eyes met. Which was followed by the latter's sarcastic exclamation.

-Damn, thanks for the help! 

-I was-...

Zyl wanted to explain that he was also occupied until just recently, but he could not say that as a shadow appeared from the smoke behind Rark and crashed into him with quite the force.

This resulted in a tumble as Rark and the body of another man rolled on the ground a few meters then eventually stopped. 

Zyl ran over to Rark helping him to stand up. While the other breathed drily as the air was pushed out of his lungs from the unexpected load that crashed into his back. 

-Damn... what the, hell was that!? 

Zyl looked at the other man who was also trying to stand up not far from him, but before he could answer another three shadows jumped over the smoke screen landing not far from them. 

There were two droids, similar types that they fought earlier, and a woman standing between the two, holding a red lightsaber in each of her hands.  This woman was covered in completely black clothes, and she seemed to radiate an ominous presence. Zyl immediately realized that this woman must have been the one that led the droids to their hiding place. 

Zyl looked at the two injured men near him, neither of them were in good shape, but they were likely still able to support him if he faced the enemies head on. 

With that thought he charged forward.

Meanwhile, Luminara was pushed into the back seat of a hover car after her hands were firmly tied behind her back. She was even placed right next to that annoying woman whose name she still didn't know. The only thing she knew about her, was that she could use the force to a certain degree as she saw her blow off the door of that crashed car earlier, but that was not much information to create a judgment of her overal character. 

Luminara looked around as worry began to fill her eyes, since she couldn't see the senator in the car and she couldn't ask the bastards where they put her, because of that piece of cloth forced into her mouth. At this moment, she could only hope, that the senator was also brought along in a different car, she could not bear the thought of losing her again. 

With that thought in her mind, she closed her eyes and tried to calm her spirit with a little bit of meditation. Just before she could get to it, the door opened once more, and the form of a familiar woman flopped down on the seat next to her. 

Their eyes met, and Luminara immediately forgot about her meditation as her eyes widened in discomfort and she immediately tried to escape from the newly arrived woman. In her panic her head bumped into Mady's who was similarly tied up next to her, resulting in both of them releasing a painful groan...

Mady immediatly sent a doom promising glare towards the annoying green skinned woman, who suddenly began to act so uncharacteristically. 

Luminara, somewhat managed to calm down as the result of the sharp pain in her head, and the cold glare from the woman she accidentally headbumped a few seconds earlier... However this calmness didn't last long, as the sound of that voice she so much detested already appeared next to her. 

-Hehe, how cute of you, trying to get away from me already. I wouldn't have thought you to be the shy type... master jedi, I hope we can spend a lot of time together from now on. I bet you would be shocked, how much I could teach you... hmm? Are you blushing again, oh my... if you continue this, I might even fall in love. 

Mady looked at the two women with a cold and disapproving gaze. Then she rolled her eyes, turned towards the window on her side, and began watching as the car raised into the air and began to head towards an unknown direction. 

Meanwhile Luminara seeing the disappointed expression in the woman's eyes next to her, gulped heavily, and wanted to explain to herself, that she wasn't doing anything here... it wasn't her fault, but she could not do such a thing, because the piece of cloth pushed between her lips.

Another wave of awkwardness appeared, and Luminara could only blink in the silence as she was pressed between these two crazy women. She suddenly felt goosebomps run over her skin as a hand began to slowly stroke her left thigh. She swallowed drily, her face turned left slightly, and she saw the stupid young female smiling at her innocently.

Was this how young women usually act nowadays? Is she drugged or in heat perhaps, but that wouldn't be much of a good news... Oh, no... I hope she is just drugged!

Such thoughts and other, similar ones appeared in her mind, trying to provide a logical answer to the situation, unfortunately neither of them could achieve such a thing. Therefore, the sense of miserable awkwardness only grow. 

---

Meanwhile in the other car. Padmé awoken sensing the sudden movement of the lifting up vehicle. She felt a numbing and burning pain in one of her arms, and teardrops almost immediately appeared in her eyes. She gasped as the pain pulsed through her entire body, almost forcing her consciousness out of her body once more. 

A calm voice spoke to her, as she grinded her teeth under the initial waves of pain. 

-Now, now, you shouldn't move much, you were shot young lady. It's nothing serious, don't you worry, well that is if you get first aid soon... 

Padmé, sucked in a breath of cold musty air between her teeth as the pain was traveling through her body in pulsing waves. 

-Oh, but don't you worry, you don't have much value for us dead. So this magnificent pirate, that is, referring to me will help you to not kick the bucket just yet. Of course, everything has a price, in this case, you will have to let us obediently sell you back to the Republic. In this way, everyone will get what they want, and can continue their lives separately. 

Padmé, felt her conciousness slightly slip back into darkness. She felt as if her whole body was burning and freezing at the same time. Her body shook miserably as the cold darkness grabbed onto her consciousness once more, and dragged it down into a bottomless quagmire. 

Her last thought, was in the form of pleading, as she prayed for her love, for her Annie, to save her.

---

On a different part and depth of Coruscant, in a secluded deep and forgotten tunnel, that has been long evacuated because of frequent earth slides. A flicker of blue energy appeared in a ball like form, the blinding energy slowly beginning to take up the form of two persons. One taller and one smaller, a child most likely. 

As the storm of energy slowly subsided, the tunnel darkened once more, leaving the two appearing person surrounded by complete darkness. There were a few hesitant movements heard in the darkness, then a harsh sound of a man appeared. 

-Where the hell did you bring me!?

Asked the man, who clearly wasn't in a joking mood.

The sarcastic and extremely annoyed voice of a young girl appeared next in the darkness. 

-Funny that you ask, Anakin, unfortunately I am unable to answer that question as, if you would care to remember, I can't see?!

There was a moment of awkward silence, then the voice of Anakin appeared again. 

-Well, now that you mentioned it, there was that too... anyway, you should still have some ideas, where this place is, so? 

The girl seemed to be completely and utterly shocked by this uncalled level of shamelessness, that the young man showed.

-You... you literally kidnapped me in the middle of the night, didn't even wait for me to pull up my left sock, and ordered me to bring you back to Coruscant, because of some bad premonition of yours! I am the fricking grandmaster now, I can't just disappear like that! 

-For a grandmaster, your room was laughingly easy to sneak into... didn't even have one guard on the corridor.

-Be-because nobody would be so stupid to even try and sneak up on me in the entire Unity... Not even talking about the temple... 

-Yes, yes... excuses, take it as my lesson to the lord of gray... Anyway, Ahsoka will be there to explain that you wanted to go out on a stroll and by some tampons. Now let's go...

Nizzal released a horrified gasp in the darkness, as she no doubt visualized the scenario, as some of the elders asked Ahsoka about her where about, only to be told this ridiculous thing. She would become the laughing stock of the entire temple.

-That... you wouldn't dare! 

-Try me.

-Uuuuuhgg.... Sigh... We are in an underground tunnel in an evacuated part of the many deep tunnels of Coruscant. But, this is only a one way exit, which means we can't go back through this portal... There is no two way portal hidden on Coruscant, so we have to travel to another planet before we can go back!

-How could you not create an active gate on the surface of Coruscant? This is the heart of the galaxy, I would think you want to be connected to it first and foremost. 

-We would like that, but as you said, this is the heart of the galaxy, also there are hundreds of jedi here, and an active gate as you should already know radiates powerful waves of force energies. Even with YOUR order's head buried in the sand they should be able to sense such an obvious presence. No matter where we put it, they would eventually find it, if it is on the same planet with so much jedi. 

-Can't you just, cover up it's presence? 

-We can, but there is no matter, what hiding technique we use, it will be shred apart the very moment the gate connects to another gate and brings through something or someone. In other words, it is too risky. 

The darkness parted with the light of an blue ignited lightsaber. The form of Anakin and Nizzal appeared as their bodies reflected the blue light. Anakin grabbed onto the right arm of Nizzal, as he said, while leading her through the darkness. 

-Whatever, now tell me where to go. 

-... I can believe this shameless bastard... You are lucky that I can't afford to anger Ahsoka, and that I can't see where I am... 

-Would you shut up and tell me where to go? 

Suddenly, a tense and heavy atmosphere fell over the cold and dark partially destroyed tunnel. As the silence stretched, the air seemed to turn ever colder, almost freezing, then an ominous voice, which suddenly lacked the innocence of a girlchild appeared. 

-... You should be careful, Master Skywalker I might be old, and very patient, much more then some of your elders would ever imagine. I might also like to act the part of the child, as that is what I am in a sense, but if you anger me any further, you will find that my blindness is of little advantage to you.

Anakin, sensing the unusual stillness in the air, which somehow reminded him of the silence before the storm stopped for a moment. He smiled drily and stated in a carefully chosen tone of voice, there was only a slight hint of sarcasm at the end.

Nizzal couldn't help but roll her eyes, as she slowly understood, why Ahsoka got this bad habit in the first place.

-Would you kindly show me the closest way to reach the surface, Master Nizzal?

Even so she answered, drily.

-There should be a turbolift around here, it is tagged as out of order... but we secretely repaird it, and connected it onto the global electric system. 

Anakin shook his head in disbelief as he commented.

-In other words, you stole electricity from the republic... 

-Yeah, like it would matter, to use a fricking lift once in a hundred years... Get your stupid ass head out of the clouds... 

-Even more excuses, so I guess, it is this place here... hmm? Is this seriously leading up to the surface? 

-Of course not, we will have to use other lifts later... 

-Okay then, lets get into this.

---

Sometimes, and a few turbolift rides later Nizzal and Anakin found themselves standing on the surface of Coruscant, it was in the early hours of the morning. 

The two, had just stepped out of the last turbolift that finally took them to the surface, and Nizzal was already annoyed to no end at this moment. Her head hurt, because of the chaotic life force that flows through the entire planet, trillions of lives pulsing around her, like swarms of ants. She could see the small lights running over the black and gray canvas that was her current sight. 

Luckily through her practice, she could somewhat get used to her different vision, and the pain she had to endure gradually lessened. However, she could not control it, or deactivate it just yet... It was like a new limb, that she had to learn how to use effectively. 

Now as they were standing next to each other, on the surface, with Anakin. The man suddenly turned towards her and said as he released her arm. 

-Thanks a lot, now I have to get somewhere before it's too late... as I said, it was about my wife... and I am seriously grateful to you for bringing me here. 

-Well... since it was that important to you, there was nothing else I could do... 

-Thank you very much, now I will be fine, I will come back for you later...

-Its okay, you don't have to thank me so many times... wait... you are going to leave me here? I hope you are joking... 

However, there was no answer coming back to her, it was only this moment, Nizzal realized, that Anakin, had already left, she was standing here, alone, practically blind to the world, in the busy hour of Coruscant, when everybody was going to his or her work.

Her mouth parted in shock, as she could not comprehend how much of a dick one must have to be, to do this... It was true, that she said, that being blind isn't an obstacle to her, and it wasn't an obstacle in a duel against a force sensitive... as she could see their techniques and presences even more, then before... Alas, that was  not true in case of things or people, with little force presence... and that meant the most of the world... What was going on in that half dead brain of Anakin...

Luckily, she could call him up using her wrist communicator... 

She reached for the device that was most of the time attached to her left wrist, then she froze. She only took the damn thing off when she slept to put it on a charger, but since she was dragged here so suddenly and half asleep... she must have forgotten to bring it with her. 

-Damn.

She was standing on the side of the cold street, as the morning breeze swept through the busy streets that were filled with thousands of people chatting among themselves, as many different vehicles flew over them left and right. She was dressed in simple clothes, as she didn't expect that bastard to drag her over to a completely different planet.

She was still half asleep when she told her that he urgently needed her help and to her shame, she had just gone along with most of the requests Anakin had asked her in a half dreaming state. But now... she was getting increasingly aware of the fact that she didn't have a sock on her left feet, nor any money in her pockets... At least she chose a warm hoody for her upper wear, but the knee high shorts didn't prove to be such a good choice on Coruscant. Neither are the simple sneakers she pulled on. In Unity, there was no need for winter clothes, as the temperature was always warm.

It makes, sense, since they had a mechanical sun that was always at the same distance from them, and it always provided the same amount of warmth. I mean, there was still a day and night cycle, but it wasn't changing, because the planet or the ship turned in a way for the sun rays to only reach the other side of the planet. The sun was simply programed to burn less intensely at night.

---

About half an hour passed by since Nizzal was standing in the same spot where Anakin left her. She was hoping that the idiot, might grow a brain and realize that he left her here without any money, not even saying that she is currently blind. However at this moment, Nizzal has mostly lost hope of that happening. 

In her heart she cursed the very moment she met with Anakin, she should have run away the moment she layed upon this walking disaster of a man.

Her thoughts were interrupted as a kind female voice spoke to her all of a sudden, and that made her jump a little bit. 

-Are you all right little girl? Oh... sorry, I didn't wish to frighten you, I thought you saw me coming over here, as you were looking in my direc... oh my, your eyes... I-I am sorry... 

Uh-hu... it seems that someone has noticed me standing here like a statue for a while now... Even if I could hear people walking by me, they were walking around me all the time so it was impossible to differentiate between one that goes by me, and one that heads towards me... 

I turned towards the voice and asked.

-Yes, I am alright. I am just... waiting for someone.

There was a moment of silence, then the voice spoke again.

-I see... You know, I noticed you a while ago, and you seemed to be quite troubled, based on your expression... 

Daaamn... I must be frowning like hell since Anakin fucked me over... Damn bastard.

-So I have been wandering, if you are... you know, based on your eyes and all... that you might...

-I might? 

I asked the question from the stranger with a flicker of annoyance.

-I mean, it's not surprising in such a big city as this? You are a big girl already, but even so, it happened to me once and twice, even nowadays, and I am an adult already... So it's not that much of a shame if you, admit that you are lost sweety.

Now as I realized, what this was heading towards, I couldn't help but hung my head in shame. Anakin you a bastard, you will pay for this.

The woman saw my reaction, and she began to panic a little.

-You-you know, its nothing that bad... I promise I won't tell anyone so you don't have to be so sad about it... 

-Yes... 

I answered silently.

-Uhm? Pardon, yes what? 

I rolled my eyes, and said. 

-Okay, I am lost, are you happy now? 

I felt a warm hand pat the top of my head with kindness. 

-I am not, but I will be if we manage to find your parents, sweety. I work in the small restaurant on the other side of the road, you see?

-Very funny.

The young woman, coughed, somewhat embarrassed hearing my remark. 

-I didn't mean to... 

I smirked. 

-Eh, I saw that you cheeky little brat!

-Hmph. 

-Sigh, kids nowadays...

Then I felt a warm hand interlock with mine, and she slowly began to lead me through the other side of the street, while making small chat with me.

-So what is your name, I am called, Kate, and you?

-Nizzal...

-Would you like to eat something? It's on me, of course. 

-Thanks, I guess... I am kind of hungry.

The woman laughed good naturedly, as she commented.

-Must have been an adventurous day, to be lost like that. 

-Something of the sort...

-So who should I call, to come for you, while you eat sweety? 

-...

Come to think of it, I don't really know anyone on Coruscant at this time and age who can help me and isn't a cursed jedi or a fucking clone trooper. And those are not very ideal targets, needless to say.
