Breaking The Code (Anakin Skywalker x Reader)

Chapter 6

Anakin POV:

Taking our X Wing ship to the Fawley Power Station, I landed in an open space upon the docks. The sky was dark and cloudy, signaling that there might be rain later. Compared to the part of the city we originally landed in, this part was bland in color and surrounded by water which stretched out as far as we could see through the clouds. (y/n) looked around for a moment, taking in the sight, before walking towards the particular building where we were told to go. I followed behind and fell in step beside her.

She turned her head towards me and smiled optimisticly, "So, on a scale of one to ten, how difficult do you think saving the Head of State will be?"

I pretended to be deep in thought about my answer, stroking my chin and looking off in the distance, "Huh, I would say.... zero." I smirked at her.

She rolled her eyes and shoved my shoulder, "Can't you at least try to be modest? Arrogance creates big heads, and we can't have your head exploding from getting too big."

I chuckled at her comments about my ego, which never seemed to end, "Keep 'em coming, (y/n)." I said sarcastically. But I really didn't mind, because they always amused me.

She smirked at me, "Glady."

(y/n) POV:

Standing outside of a large circular building were two robots with guns, blocking the door.

I spoke first, "We're here to negotiate with Count Dooku on behalf of the people of Corellia."

Anakin and I stood confidently in front of them, ready to grab our lightsabers if we needed to. The robots watched us, unmoving and still, before moving to either side to let us through. I took a deep breath and looked over at Anakin, who gave me a reassuring smile. His smile warmed my heart and calmed my nerves, giving me an extra push and we both entered inside the building together. The first thing I saw were many robots standing shoulder to shoulder in a line, all holding guns just like the ones outside.

"Ah, you've finally come." Said an all too familiar voice. Anakin and I looked left and right, trying to locate where it came from. Suddenly the center of the line of robots split as they moved away, revealing Dooku slowly approaching us with that bitter expression he always wore. Anakin and I pulled out our lightsabers and stood in our fighting stances, ready to attack. But Dooku just laughed and stopped until he was a few feet in front of us.

"There is no need for such hostility. I have summoned you to negotiate, not fight." He said in a fake, innocent way. But we knew that there would be some sort of violence today, and the main concern was the Head of State who I spotted at the other end of the room, sitting in a chair and being guarded by a robot. My eyes met his for a second, before I looked back at Dooku and formulated a plan in my head; we would have to somehow get him out of here and to a safe place. But how?

Anakin turned off his lightsaber and put it in the sheath of his black clothes, and crossed his arms. "And what exactly are these negotiations of yours?"

Dooku smiled and slowly walked in a circle around us, "I'm glad you asked...." I started to tune him out because I just came up with an idea, I don't know if it's going to work but it's probably the best option we've got. I opened my mind to the force so I could verbally connect with Anakin and tell him my plan.

"Anakin, I have a plan."

His eyes darted over to me for a second and then back forward.

"What is it?"

"On the count of three we can use the force together to destroy all of the robots. And while you fight off Dooku, I can take the Head of State to the ship and fly it over to get you."
