After over 5 years since Anakin and Obi-Wan's encounter with the Sith Lord, Palpatine rises to power, though he's even more cruel and very impatient. He's laying a trap (again) for his new chosen apprentice and Anakin is not pleased. Obi-Wan gets ca...
"Pale stardust blue eyes embrace him all and soak him in light that he forgets he ever was in darkness."
[well where do I start]: Anakin is upset and brooding, and Obi-wan is not prepared for a needy teenager, what with Anakin being extra, using fancy Force-tricks to charm sweethearts (even if it's effective)

"Naboo will never forget your evil!"
Anakin is sliding through the frenzied running away crowd, which unfortunately restrain his speed even with him trying to make his way with the Force. He has still a few feet ahead to reach the commotion, when the Force starts shrieking in his mind in an unmistakable warning for the upcoming blast of an explosive. The young jedi has less than a second to put an instinctive Force shield around the area of the commotion to minimalize its shockwave. It works unexpectedly better than he expected, nothing but a swoosh of wind passes through him, or the detonator was smaller than what he thought.
The boy makes the last steps, noting the thick dim smoke and the faint stink of a fragmentation grenade. Weak, designed for close combat damage, non-lethal, this one in particular. It was intended to scare, not to kill. He sees three down, one in a seemingly heavy looking suit, broken, a few parts missing, still distinct enough for Anakin to recognize the Skakoan-scum from the Separatist Senate, though now he is known as the Techno Union leader. The green fraghead is out cold, but alive, he feels his galloping pulse in the Force and sees no visibly injuries, without any need to check. He turns to the other two and stops numb in his track; eyes blinking twice.
For Kark's sake.
There, Palpatine sprawled on top of whom he recognizes as one of Padmé's friend, Senator of Onderon, if he's right, the Sith skughead like a karking knight protecting the woman with his body, arm scratched red from a possible thrown back piece of armor.
Anakin is so dumbstruck, he's about to crack up, yet at the corner of his eyes he sees Padmé hurrying in distress and he too hurries to put a hand over his mouth and stifle it down, though a snort still escapes him.
He coughs, to disguise it, after all, the smoke is still poignant in the air and turns to her.
"All are intact... Only light injuries.", he says snickering at Palpatine, who gets help from some guards, and the boy schools his expression. He then, closes his eyes to scan the ship with the Force and easily locates the two runaways. Not that they have somewhere to run from a ship in the middle of a sea (well if they didn't have a shuttle parked above, that's it).
