"Your highness, zygerrians, and guests from a thousand worlds, our auction begins with slaves of unmatched quality and impossible quantity. I give you a Tortuga from the Kiros system!" The announcer spoke as a beaten and work down Tortuga elderly was aggressively shoved out. The crowd roared with enthusiasm as Anakin, Alora, and Ahsoka looked down in horror.

"Oh no" Anakin sighed.

"This handsome sample represents a lot of numbering, no less then fifty thousand beings. Note the compliance. Virtually untrained in combat. There will be no rebellion from these slaves!" Once again the crowd revved up in excitement, all greedy to buy some more power.

"Where is my slave?" The Queen spoke up, raising her hand up in a snap. Alora rolled her eyes and walked over to the queen.

"Yes?" She answered with a little bit of annoyance lingering in her voice.

"Do not speak to me like that or you will be punished. I want a drink. Go fetch me one." She shoo'd the blonde away where a guard handed her a try full of multiple beverages.

"Offer her one of these, then the rest go to the guests." The guard instructed. Alora simply nodded and walked away, feeling the guards dirty eyes drink in her body as she walked back to the queen. It made her sick.

Alora did not speak as she held the tray out before her, watching the queen grab a glass off the tray. She walked back over to Ahsoka and Anakin, lifting the heavy tray to rest on her shoulder. "I might drink all of these, what's the chances I die if I do that?" She joked earning a look of annoyance from Anakin.

"Not the time" he muttered grabbing one of the drinks from the tray and walking over to the queen.

"Ignore his attitude, this is all really tough for him." Ahsoka whispered.

"I understand. I'm not upset, I'm grateful beyond belief." Alora assured the girl. The blonde girl was annoyed and beaten down herself but she couldn't show it, she knew Anakin was only acting this way because he was stressed out. And besides, this was a lot for him to do based on his past.

The two watched as Anakin talked to the queen, most likely flirting much to Alora's dismay. It didn't last long as the Queen shot up and yelled out into the arena gaining everyone's attention. "Before we begin I would like to welcome a most special guest. Obi Wan Kenobi, Jedi Knight."

Alora felt her heart sink to her feet as she subtly walked over to the balcony, looking as a very beaten Obi Wan hobbled into the center of the arena. A small gasp escaped her lips in horror, causing a guard to grab her by her waist and practically throw her back from the balcony.

"Know you're place" he snarled getting closer to the girl. Ahsoka stepped in between them, 'accidentally' falling to the ground directly between the two. The guard looked down at the young girl and grunted waking back to his post. Alora quickly helped the girl up, shaking a little from the interaction with the guard.

"Thank you Ahsoka" she whispered.

"I told you I would protect you" the Tortuga grinned. The girls settled to stay in their back corner as they heard the queen go on and on about how the Jedi are slaves and weak. She then turned to Anakin and pointed at him.

"Teach the Jedi his place" she spoke as she handed him a whip. Alora watched as his jaw clenched slightly before he bowed his head and walked down to the arena where people cheered and yelled for him to whip Obi Wan. "Prove to me your slaver or die beside him."

Alora's heart raced as she craned her neck to watch what happened next. She saw Anakin turn in the whip, offering the queen a polite bow before he swung at one of the guards. Everyone began freaking out as absolute chaos broke out.
