Celestial Bonds - ANAKIN SKYWALKER - WTM

CHAPTER EIGHT

It's daytime in Coruscant. Speeders fly through the lively city planet, commuting from one area to another.

A silver ship is seen landing on the landing pad of Ziro's club.

C3PO's shiny golden body is seen exiting the ship. He looks around wearily as he pauses before the entrance of the club. "This part of town is definitely not my kind of town."

Anakin whistles as he looks at the new coating of 3PO. He's glad that he finally managed to finish building the droid; it's nice that he has a coating now, it was rather awkward to see his droid walking around practically naked. Gold too... he has no doubt that Eva helped supply the metal. No way with the annual allowance he receives from the Order would be able to cover the cost of solid gold. So, he has another thing to thank Eva for.

Inside the club, Eva is escorted to Ziro with several droids marching behind her and one beside her.

Ziro 'aha's' as Eva stops before him. She glares at the Hutt hatefully.

"You tried to call for help, Senator. I believe you are too dangerous to be kept alive."

"Killing a Galactic Senator, here on Coruscant? Are you out of your mind?" Eva exclaims.

"I have powerful friends in the Senate." Ziro starts.

Distantly, a beeping is heard, however, Ziro doesn't notice yet.

"I'm not afraid..." He continues until the beeping gets louder. "Huh?" He looks up to the entrance just in time as an explosion erupts just outside the main room. Parts of the droids that were standing outside fall down the stairs into the room.

"Yes!" The Padawans - Anakin included - exclaim as they cheer in celebration at the droid's defeat. They are relieved that the Senator is being rescued.

Eva sighs in relief. So, she wouldn't have to use that after all. As much as she tries to avoid using it, she knows that if the situation came down to it, she would have forgo all of her rules and tap into that side of herself if it meant saving her own ass.

Eva turns to watch just as 3PO pokes his head around the wall.

"Is anybody home?" 3PO asks nervously.

"3PO?" Eva asks in shock. She didn't know that he would come to save her.

Ziro narrows his eyes at the golden droid. "What is that?" He asks.

The droids step closer and a group of clones enter the room, immediately shooting the droids.

Ziro cowers as some of the plasma bolts hit the wall beside his head. "Run for it!" He yells as he slithers away.

A clone trooper runs towards the bar and throws themselves over it to gain cover.

Ziro is seen scurrying past two droids as they shoot at the clones. However, before Ziro could escape, the droids are stuck down and they crash to the ground.

Another clone backs up behind a pillar as a droid shoots at him. He pokes his head out - another clone is seen behind another pillar - and they both shoot at the remaining droids.

Eva is seen sitting on the floor with a droid standing before her. She stands up and kicks the back of his knee causing it to fall. It loses grip of his blaster and Eva quickly grabs it. She quickly turns and shoots him in the head.
