About three days later, after the events on Yavin 4, Anakin found himself standing in front of the council staring each of them in the eye. They were just watching him anyway, it wasn't like they were speaking yet.
Anakin was only here because Ace, Mekhi and Jett spoke to them of what happened between him and Obi Wan, who seemed pissed to be here. To be completely he was glaring at Anakin every few seconds as if this was his fault. Which it wasn't!
"We understand there were some....issues that arose on Yavin 4 between you and Obi Wan." Mace Windu says.
Anakin nods, knowing he couldn't lie to them. "Yes. We, uh....were caught in Vornez by droids and I was barely able to escape."
"And I take it Obi Wan abandoned you?" Master Plo asked.
"Yeah. He....left me on my own. If it weren't for Ace, Darth Maul would have me in captivity right now."
"Darth Maul is dead." Obi Wan interrupted.
Anakin rolled his eyes and turned to him. "He is not dead, okay?! I know what I heard."
Obi Wan narrowed his eyes threateningly at Anakin and took a step towards him, his fists clenching tightly. Anakin stepped back not wanting to be on the recieving end of a punch to the face. Again.
"You would do well to not raise your voice or use that tone with me, boy." Obi Wan's voice sounded really dark and Anakin shivered.
"Enough Obi Wan." Windu says.
"Anakin, I believe." Yoda says. "What is upsetting you so, Kinobi?"
Obi Wan glared at Anakin again and he began to wonder if the guy was bipolar. Or psychotic right about now. Anakin glared right back and didn't back down.
"Nothing. Anakin is just hardheaded." Obi Wan stated.
"And so that justified you leaving your padawan alone to fend for himself? And harming him?" Windu questions.
"The boy needs to learn respect." Obi Wan growled. "If the only way to do that is to threaten him....then so be it."
Anakin caught Palpatine smirking a little but he thought nothing of it. He was always smiling about something so it wasn't out of the ordinary. What was out of the ordinary was the way Obi Wan was behaving. He was acting different, almost like his dark side was showing but Anakin pushed that thought out of his head. Obi Wan would never let the dark side take over.
Anakin watched Obi Wan stride out of the room, with the intent of having the last word. He didn't understand what was going on with him and he wanted to find out why Obi Wan was acting this way. Anakin turned back to the Jedi council, a look of sadness and concern on his face as well as in his eyes.
"Should I be worried?" Anakin asked.
Yoda looked pretty thoughtful and he spoke with patience. "I do not know. A struggle, I sense within him."
Anakin nodded and turned around walking out of the council chambers. Anakin made his way to his room that he now had returned to. He would sleep here for the night to give Ace his bed back. Anakin had gotten over his anger with the council and started talking to them once more. Anakin plopped down on his bed and stared up at the plain white cieling.
It was plain and undesigned, much like how his life would have been if Qui Gon hadn't taken him in and he couldn't be more happy...but sometimes he wished his life wasn't so eventful.
Too many things have happened since he met Qui Gon and now he was a Jedi, with the most powerful Force abilities anyone has ever seen and his master was being so cold and distant with him. It just didn't make any sense. Why was Obi Wan suddenly acting like a complete jackass? That was usually Anakin's fortè.
Anakin sighed and threw an arm over his eyes, blocking out the light. He was thinking too much; he needed to just take a breather and let it all pass. He was sure things would eventually go back to normal...he hoped they would go back to normal.
There was a knock on Anakin's door and he groaned, climbing off his bed to go open the door. The minute he did, someone came flying at him through the door. His reflexes and ability to sense danger were the only things that kept him from getting tackled to the floor as he sidestepped and spun around.
Standing in front of him was a man of six feet, dark hair framing his face and dark cold eyes set on Anakin. He could see that this guy meant business and was intent on doing whatever it was he had to do.
Anakin sent out a Force warning to every Jedi in the temple, alerting them to the fact that he was in danger. Anakin stood in his open doorway, preparing to run. His lightsaber was resting on the bedside table and before he could use the force to grab it, the man attacked.
Anakin stumbled back into the hallway, narrowly missing a blow to the side of his head. He backed away, unable to get a clear enough shot at getting his lightsaber. Anakin ducked under the man's arm as he swung at him, spun around and kicked him in the back. Stumbling forward the man whirled around aiming punches and kicks at Anakin. Most of them he blocked but a few got him good. One in the side, another to the stomach and the last had clipped him in his ribcage.
Anakin fell onto his back, gasping a little. He was out of breath and the man didn't even look like he broke a sweat. As the guy raised his foot to kick him, Anakin rolled out of the way and scrambled to his feet. The minute he was standing the man grabbed his arm and flipped him over his shoulder. Anakin managed to land on his feet and flip him over his shoulder, placing a foot on the back of his neck.
"Who are you?!" Anakin shouted.
The man said nothing as he grabbed Anakin's foot and pulled him off balance. Anakin fell onto his back and the man stood up removing a syringe from his jacket. Anakin had no idea what was in that needle and he didn't want to find out; he was terrified of them.
Anakin's foot shot up and out, kicking the man in the stomach and then forceflipped to his feet. He couldn't beat this guy and he knew it so he sprinted down the hall, passing a wall of windows that you could see the Coruscanti city below.
And then Anakin was tackled to the floor. Anakin struggled to get out from under the man pinning him to the ground. He used the Force to throw him backwards into the wall. Before Anakin could get to his feet, the stranger was there hitting him on the back of the head.
Anakin collapsed to his knees, groaning in pain. He clutched his head in his hands and clambered to his feet, the hallway tilting and turning. Anakin stumbled against the wall of windows and looked up when someone sprinted into the corridor.
"Anakin!"
Anakin sees that it's Ace and tries to get to him but the man football tackles him through the window and they both go tumbling out. Anakin screams once before all is silent and they land on a flyer that had been waiting for them. Anakin is unconscious due to hitting his head on the edge of the flyer and it flies away, with Anakin strapped in the second seat.
Ace sprints to the window in time to see the flyer fly away with Anakin and he curses. Mace Windu and Aviana walk over to him.
"We'll find him." Aviana says, giving Ace a knowing smile.
Ace didn't return it. When he found Anakin and the people who took him, they'd all wish they never bothered to take Anakin Skywalker in the first place.
