-A Padawan's Journey-

Mystery of A Thousand Moons

Season 1 Episode 18

"What do you mean my padawan is trapped with a previously eradicated virus?" The Twi'lek boomed over the comm. "I thought she was just going on some rescue mission?" Obi-Wan and Anakin were standing in front of a holo-table. Master Amon had his arms folded in front of him and the two Jedi could feel his anger.

"We thought we had the virus contained, but one of the droids set a vial containing the virus loose." Obi-Wan told him. "As far as we know, the padawans are safe in a safe room."

"We are going to find an antidote for them, don't worry." Anakin reassured him.

"I'm coming to Naboo." Drake declared.

"Master Amon, I don't really think it's necessary-" Drake disappeared from the holo-table and Obi-Wan stopped wasting his breath. "Stubborn man."

The shuttle they were flying in landed in the ship hanger on Theed. Captain Typho was waiting for the Jedi with some of his guards. The doors opened and the Jedi escorted the doctor off the ship.

"Dr. Vindi, you'll pay for your treachery." Captain Typho said. "Take him away." Captain Typho's men grabbed the doctor and started pulling him away.

"Now we'll need to find an antidote." Obi-Wan stated.

"As well as tame the angry Twi'lek on his way." Anakin added.

"I think I found an answer for you." Captain Typho said as he gestured for the Jedi to follow him.

Captain Typho led the two men into some sort of command room. Men were stationed at various computers and a holo-table sat in the middle. The three men stopped at the holo-table.

"So you think you found a cure?" Anakin asked.

"Possibly. A little-known extract made from reeksa root," Captain Typho pressed a button and the root appeared on the holo-table before them. "A weed-like vine found only on Iego, the world of a thousand moons, deep in separatist controlled space."

"Let's go." Anakin pounded his fist together.

Captain Typho looked at the Jedi. "You must move cautiously if you-"

"There's no time for caution." Anakin cut him off. "My padawan is trapped down there, and so is Padme." Obi-Wan placed a hand on his shoulder. Obi-Wan gave a look to Anakin who looked down. "I mean Senator Amidala."

"I applaud your courage, General Skywalker, but it's suicide." Captain Typho praised. "Once we contain the virus, we can send troops."

"No." Anakin brushed his master's hand off him. "Obi-Wan and I can handle it."

The loudspeaker kicked to life. "Captain Typho, there's another Jedi who just arrived. He says that General Kenobi and General Skywalker are expecting him."

"It appears Master Amon is here." The two Jedi looked at each other. "We shall meet him and then we will depart." Obi-Wan stated.

Three Jedi left the Naboo system. The Twi'lek master stood behind the two humans who were currently flying the shuttle they were borrowing.

"Padme and the padawans will be fine." Obi-Wan told the other two.

"I will believe you when I see my padawan safe and sound." Drake stated.

"Yes, they will be." Anakin seemed to agree. "But only if we succeed." Anakin powered up the hyperdrive while Obi-Wan punched in the coordinates. Once fired up the three Jedi made their way towards Iego.
