chapter four.

"Why do we have to come? It's just a robbery, the clones can take over"

Anakin sighed heavily.

"You didn't have to come Ahsoka, you weren't invited"

Ahsoka chuckled, "I'm curious as to why you're so interested in robberies. You spend your free time coming over whenever there's one."

Anakin didn't answer her. While it was true that he used his free time to check who had caused the robberies that arose, he hoped that Freya would be the one to get into trouble as usual.

And just like at that time, it wasn't about Freya.

"Just a few thieves trying to rob the queen's castle. We've had several attempts." A clone informed him.

Anakin tried not to look disappointed by that, but he couldn't avoid Ahsoka's analytical look.

"Who are you looking for, master?"

"No one, stop being so curious Ahsoka. Go back to the jedi temple now" he said.

Ahsoka pouted in protest.

"But Master..."

"Ahsoka" Anakin looked at her and Ahsoka turned away in resignation.

"Master Skywalker" one of the clones approached him, "I bring you information about what he asked me for"

Anakin nodded and they both went where they wouldn't be heard.

“There have been attacks by a group, in the reports they say that they have attacked several of the council, they do not kill them, they only seriously injure them and then days later they appear and make questionable decisions”

Anakin looked at the report and the images, they were ugly injuries that surprised him that the council survived them.

"They call themselves the red cobra" the clone told him and then went to another image, "possibly this is their leader"

From her complexion he could deduce that it was a woman. She had a black outfit and a mask that covered her entire face, in the part of her eyes were scarlet.

"Master Skywalker"

Anakin looked at the clone coming toward him urgently.

"Senator Padmé is under attack"

Padme moved her hands trying to break free of the hold on her wrists. But she missed and looked towards the group. There were only 4 people and all in black suits and scarlet eyes.

"Are you the red cobra?" She asks.

She had heard about them, about what happened to council members when they met with the group.

"So she's heard of us, Senator," someone from the group replied in a robotic voice.

"I'm not afraid of them, if that's what they think. And they won't be able to manipulate me like they've done the others" Padme says firmly even though she's scared to death inside.

A robotic laugh arose, "don't worry Senator, you're not a target this time."

Padmé looked at them confused. If not her, then who...?

"It's time" an announcement.

The group moved quickly. One put a bosal on Padmé so she wouldn't say a word and then two took her away. Padme tried to fight back, but was injected with a tranquilizer that knocked her out.

"You're sure?" Someone ask her.

The girl nodded, "go ahead."

Anakin walked stealthily, saber in hand, fully attentive to every movement or sound. His Padawan next to him was just as alert.

"Ahsoka we split up, look for Padme, I'll take care of the red cobra"

Ahsoka nodded obediently and walked away from him, leaving only his master.

Anakin advances a bit more before suddenly being attacked from behind, turning quickly and attempting to hit his attacker with his saber. His attacker struck him on the wrist with which he was holding the saber, causing his weapon to fall.

Anakin took her by the neck and with a grapple threw her to the ground to hit her cheek with his fist, got up and drew his saber. The girl took advantage of that and punched him in the stomach, rising slightly into the air and kicking him in the jaw.

Anakin grabbed his jaw and before she could warn him, the girl had blocked him with her legs sending him to the ground. Anakin slammed into his calf and wrenched the saber out of his face, but the girl stopped him before she could force him to do anything. Anakin looked at her surprised that he wasn't even touching her saber, but he felt a force from her preventing him from lowering her saber.

She gave him a kick to the stomach that pushed him away from her, the girl scrambled to her feet and Anakin quickly used her strength to send one of the pieces of furniture towards the girl. She fell to the ground and Anakin got up.

The girl managed to recover quickly and she approached Anakin. She reached out and Anakin's saber went flying. Anakin complained. She reached out and grabbed Anakin by the neck before punching him in the cheek. Anakin pierces his hand and manages to hold onto his neck.

Anakin went through déjà vu as they both kept their grip on his neck.

There was a slight explosion that made both of them break free and they both fell head over heels.

"Ahsoka" Anakin says with a heavy breath.

"You need my help, master," Ahsoka sneers before groaning as a bladecut its side. There was another boy behind her.

Anakin tried to go help his Padawan before the girl attacked him again. He grabbed the saber from her and the girl struggled to get it from him. Anakin then grabbed the girl's mask and pulled it off, the girl giving him a scarlet electrical shock that sent him to the ground.

Ahsoka had managed to get rid of the boy and was now pointing her saber at the girl who had her back turned, the girl turned towards them revealing her face.

Anakin removed the device that gave him electric shocks and looked at the girl in shock.

"Freya..."

The boy threw a smoke bomb and when it dispersed they were gone.
