The Rising

Missing

Padme paced slightly in her room as her children snored quietly on her bed.

The sith Lord had sent a pair of cribs to the room but Padme flat out refused to put her children anywhere near the suspicious devices.

Resulting in the two cribs being shoved unceremoniously into the darkest corner she could find before cover them with the thickest blanket she could find. She didn't need the force to tell her that something was wrong with it nor did she need the force to deal with it. Her own stubbornness taking over slightly when she had decided to shove the cribs away.

Her pace had started shortly after this episode.

Her mind trying to calm herself down as she fingered the vial Dooku had given her in her pocket.

Luke and Leia on the other hand had only to snore slightly more than usual to make Padme jump out of her skin and check them over to ensure they where not harmed. They seemed to not be affected by her panic as they slept, or even by any sound it seemed as their father came roaring into the room covered in slime and what Padme hoped to be machine oil.

"Pack your bags, grab the children, we are exposed" Vader hissed as he quickly grabbed a new pack from one of the closets in their new room and tossed it to her. Padme in her slight shock almost dropped it before she turned and hastily stuffed her children's essential items in before laying her children down on top of one of the blankets in the bag.

Vader who was not paying attention to his wife's actions simply stuffed dark robes and some strange tools in a second bag he had appeared with before he hastily put on a sith cloak.

Padme shivered slightly at the sight of the cloak and quickly wrapped her hair back behind a scarf. Not the best disguise or the most fashionable she could admit and gladly did, but it was enough to satisfy Vader as he quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her to the door.

Her other arm held the bag close to her chest, cradling the children effectively and hiding herself a bit more as well.

That's when it hit her.

No alarms.

"What's going on?" Padme whispered.

Vader only held up his hand, effectively silencing her as a troop of droids almost overtook them.

It wasn't until they had passed that he finally spoke.

"Dooku has gone missing, Gorr seems to have released the prisoners and the communications center has been demolished. The only next target is the sith Lord or...." Vader trailer off not wanting to finish that rather disturbing sentence, his own hand gripping her forearm slightly tighter.

Padme shivered again, finally realizing that the plan was being put into place.

"Where are the alarms?"

"They have been deactivated somehow, we think a tag team has breached already, hurry up we have to get to-ack"

He was stopped dead sentence as Padme shoved a kind of needle into his neck, one that had yellow liquid slowly flowing into Vader's body.

Vader spazzed slightly as he fell to his knees, his free arm grabbing his neck where the needle had entered. Padme who was still trying to remain upright yelped as his fingers dig painfully into her skin. No doubt leaving a large bruise behind.

Vader slowly turned his head, but before he could even get a glance of who had attacked him he blacked out.

Falling into a perfect slump on the floor as he did.

Padme took a couple of deep breaths before she heard her name being called.

"Amadala...... Senator Amadala" her face slowly looked up unsure of who was talking before she caught sight of a group of the most unlikely kind she had ever seen.

They appeared to be wearing armor, but not of any kind of size she had ever seen except for one.

"Kix?"

Kix, though slightly worried, nodded before he finally understood what she had done.

Wreaker on the other hand was still trying to figure out who she was and what was going on.

"Come along senator, Tech and Wreaker will take you back to the ship" Kix said calmly as he gently walked forward to pry her hands off the syringe in the sith's neck.

"We are taking hime with us" Padme hissed.

"But-" tech was cut off by the Senator's terrifying glair.

"No problem" he hastily replied slightly terrified.

Wreaker only scratched his head, still thoroughly confused before he just shrugged, walked over, bent down and proceeded to plop the galaxy's most dangerous sith Lord over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes.

Hunter and Kix just nodded to the fellow clones before breaking off without another word down the corridor Padme had just left.

"Come along senator, the ship isn't that fancy but it will get us to where we need to go. I hope" Tech added the last part under his breath and so low he was sure only Hunter would have been able to catch it. And even if he was standing a couple hundred yards directly in front of him.

Padme, though still slightly shocked pulled the bag closer to her body. Tech being the slightly more intuitive to her obvious overprotective nature towards the bag grabbed Wreakers hand seconds before he had grabbed the left strap.

Wreaker looked at Tech confused before Tech just shook his head and pointed back towards the hanger, whispering as he did "let's get her back, the girls will be more comforting than us at the moment".

Padme shivered again, feeling as if someone or something was watching her when she saw what looked to be a flicker of green and silver int he very corner of her eye.

She turned quickly before Tech grabbed her upper arm and gently guided her into a fast walk/run. She didn't see anything but she still glanced behind her the entire trip to the hanger and even moments after they had boarded.

She was so sure someone..... They had to have been.

She glanced once more as the door to the hander of the ship closed.

And as the hatch closed with a slight click, she saw a flash of green skin and metal in the shadows of the ship.

She was sure.

No mistaking it.

They had been followed.

Gorr was on the ship with them.
