Star Wars: The Clone Wars--The Chosen One

Chapter Sixteen: Rescued

Anakin was sure he was going to die. Will had injected him with the drug again and he's been doing so every few hours of everyday. Anakin had lost count of how long he'd been here, being tortured with this drug and sometimes if he had done something to piss Will off, he'd recieve a punch to the face or a kick to the stomach.

Will said it was to "teach him a lesson" but Anakin knew the guy just loved to hit him. Ricardo would stand there and watch but Anakin could see he felt bad for him.

Today he knew everything would change. Call it intuition.

Anakin lay on his back in bed, trying and failing to fall asleep. His body didn't need it because he'd been asleep for most of the day but there was nothing else to do in this plain ass room. It's been a few hours since he recieved the last dose of the drug.

Maybe my Force powers will work now, Anakin thought.

Anakin sat up crosslegged and stared at the glass of water on the other end of the room; it was sitting on a coffee table. He focused his mind and tried to comnect with the Force to lift the glass. He extended his arm out and the glass began to lift into the air. Anakin used the Force to slowly bring the glass towards him. It floated towards him before it finally landed in his hand.

Anakin quietly squealed in happiness as he realised he had his Force powers back. However he only had a few moments to celebrate for there was an explosion that rocked the tower that he was in. The tower shook so violently that Anakin fell off of the bed and onto the floor.

Anakin scrambled up as the door opened revealing Ace, Obi Wan and a girl with hazel eyes, shoulder length brown hair and a pretty face. Anakin didn't know her but he was thankful she was here. Ace too. He didn't know how to feel about Obi Wan.

"Anakin!" Ace shouted and threw his arms around the younger male. Anakin slowly wrapped his arms around his waist before pulling away.

"What are you guys doing here?!" Anakin asked.

"Saving your ass." The girl says.

"Who are you?" Anakin demanded.

"Alia Scythe. We'll do a full introduction once we're out of this place."

"Here." Obi Wan handed Anakin his lightsaber. "You're gonna need it."

Anakin nodded his thanks and took it from him. Obi Wan nodded, but remained silent. Anakin followed Ace and Alia out into the corridor, Obi Wan bringing up the rear. Another explosion rocked the tower and Anakin almost lost his footing.

However, Ricardo and Will were suddenly there with other bounty hunters who worked for them. They came out of rooms on both sides cutting them off behind and in front. Everyone stared at them and everything was silent. Will spoke first.

"You didn't think we'd let you go that easy, did you Anakin?" Will said with a small smirk.

Anakin glared at him and Ricardo, turning on his lightsaber and twirling it in his hand. "No. But you're going to see just how much damage I can do."

Will's eyes flashed and he waved the bounty hunters forward. "Bring the boy to me alive. Kill the rest."

And then the bounty hunters charged at them.

The first to reach Anakin was cut down with no hesitation by Obi Wan, who said in an angry dark tone.

"Kill them all."

Anakin blanched at that but he didn't have time to dwell on it because a bounty hunter had reached him and tried to put him in a sleeper hold. Anakin broke out of it and flipped the guy over his shoulder. He dodged a punch to the face and swung his lightsaber at the hunter. Anakin used the Force to throw a dozen of them backwards into the wall.

Out of the corner of his eye he could see Ace and Alia shooting down every bounty hunter that came at them. That girl has some serious skills....just like Ace.

Anakin was kicked in the chest and he looked up to see a random bounty hunter aiming a fist at him. Anakin caught his fist in his hand, twisted the guys arm, and kicked him in the kneecap as hard as he could. There was a 'crack!' and the guy went down on one knee. Anakin then kicked him hard in the face, knocking him out and sending blood flying from his nose.

Bright colorful lights exploded behind his eyes as Anakin felt something strike the back of his head and he fell onto his stomach. Rolling onto his back he saw Ricardo standing over him with a smirk on his face.

"What the hell is with you and hitting people in the head?!" Anakin yelled. Ricardo ignored him and raised a knife over his leg. Before he could bring it down, there was a flash and Anakin had to cover his eyes. When he lowered his hands he saw the glowing hue of a blue blade sticking out of his chest. Ricardo's mouth was open in a silent scream and his hands were still raised. The knife clattered to the floor and the lightsaber was yanked out with a flourish.

Anakin watched as Ricardo fell to his knees in almost slow motion and then onto his side, his body spasming twice before he finally lay still and silent. Dead.

Anakin slowly raised his eyes and saw Obi Wan standing over Ricardo's body, his lightsaber still on but gripped tightly in his fingers. His face was unreadable, expressionless. And his eyes....his eyes were cold as ice and hard as rock. It took everything Anakin had not to cower away from him in fear.

The whole corridor had gone silent and Anakin looked around and saw Will standing beside a few bounty hunters, his face twisted in shock. Slowly his face turned red with anger and Anakin could see just how this was going to turn out.

"You son of a bitch!" Will shouted. "I'm gonna kill you and then I'm going to make Anakin suffer and no one is going to stop me!"

Anakin clambered to his feet and grabbed his lightsaber, ready to defend himself if he had to but Obi Wan pushed him back. Anakin looked at him in surprise.

"You kidnapped Anakin Skywalker. You have to pay the price." Obi Wan said calmly. "And what are you going to do to kill me? I'm a Jedi master and you're just a pathetic bounty hunter."

That seemed to only piss Will off more and he pulled a gun so fast and fired that Anakin never saw it coming. All he felt was something strike him in the chest and then he started to feel dizzy and woozy and at the same time he felt the familiar sensation of that drug working its way through his system. Anakin looked down and saw a dart in the center of his chest.

"I quadrupled the dose in case something like this happened." Will told him as Anakin looked up at him, his face twisted in pain.

Fire. His whole entire body felt as if it were on fire. Anakin's lightsaber slipped from his fingers as his legs gave out and he fell to his knees, a scream erupting from his mouth. Agony. So much agony. Through his pain he saw Obi Wan look at him, slightly panicked before his face became one of rage and he spun around, stomping towards Will.

Anakin collapsed onto his back, unable to do anything as pain coursed its way through his body. His screams were endless and he only screamed louder when someone touched him. It made the pain intensify and he continued to scream when someone lifted him up in their arms. He looked up and saw that Obi Wan was carrying him, Ace and Alia on either side of him running.

Tears of pain were streaming down his face and he was screaming so much his throat began to hurt and he started to lose the energy to scream anymore. Anakin felt himself placed on something soft and he stared up, unseeing at a medical droid. His eyes were trained up at the droid and ceiling but he wasn't seeing it. He was staring up into space and then he felt himself getting tired and sleepy.

The last thing he heard before he winked out was Ace's voice.

"You're safe now, Ani. You're safe now."
