Obi wan and Ahsoka went to Padmes apartment to search for more answers. "Are you sure this will work?" Ahsoka asked in hesitation. She had a feeling this wouldn't go down well. "We have to try. Anakin may have come here to talk to padme as they are close friends." Obi wan didn't know. He didn't know that they were married. "Master," ahsoka trailed off. He looked at her with confusion. "Padme and Anakin are married. And padmes  pregnant as well." Obi wan brushed his beard with his hand and didn't say a word the rest of the ride.

"When was the last time you saw him?" Obi wan walked with the senator, ahsoka close behind. "Yesterday..." her voice trailed off. "Padme, do you know where he is now?" Ahsoka asked. "No." padme answered back with worry. Why were they asking her all these questions? "Padme, we need your help. Anakin is in grave danger," Obi wan started, padme spoke after. "From the sith?" Padme asked firmly. "From himself." Ahsoka said gravely.

"Padme, anakin has turned to the dark side." Ahsoka looked into the senators eyes. "You're wrong! How could you even say that?!" She looked at ahsoka with disgust. "We have seen a security hologram of him," Obi wan paused, refusing to look padme in the eyes. "...killing younglings." Obi wans voice was shaky. "Not anakin. He couldn't." padme spoke with denial.

"He was deceived by a lie we all were." Obi wan looked back at the senator. "The chancellor was behind everything including the war. Palpatine is the Sith Lord we've been looking for..." padme sat down in disbelief, letting all the information sink in. "After the death of count dooku anakin became his new apprentice." Obi wan added.

"I don't believe you! I can't..." Padme sat down. Soon ahsoka and obi wan did the same.  Ahsoka placed a comforting hand on padmes shoulder. "Padme, we need to find him." Ahsoka said with distressed blue irises. The senator stood up. "You two are going to kill him aren't you?" Ahsoka looked down. Knowing the outcome of the situation she had to stay silent. "He has become a very great threat." Obi wan stood up with the senator.
"I can't." Padme denied looking away. Ahsoka stood up and walked behind Obi wan to the ship until Obi wan came to a stop.

"Anakin's the father isn't he?" Obi wan looked at the distressed senator.
"I am so sorry." Obi wan walked towards the speeder. Ahsoka looked back at the senator and gave her a sincere look before folllowing after the former Jedi master.

"Padmes gonna go after him." Obi wan said to the togruta. "Lets follow her." Ahsoka looked down, tears filling her eyes. She had to remember her purpose here. Even she didn't know what exactly what it was yet.  "I know you too were close," Obi wan paused. "If you're not up for this mission, you can go into hiding with the other surviving Jedi." Obi wan suggested. "No, I'm ready." She reassured the Jedi.

The senator boarded the ship, ahsoka and obi wan soon after followed and found a safe corridor to hide in till they get to mustafar. "I brought your old lightsabers for you." Obi wan whispered to the togruta holding out her green saber and yellow shoto. Ahsoka reaches inside her cloak and pulled out her silver blades. "I came prepared, master." They both smiled  slightly at each other. "You ever thought what it would be like if I was your padawan?" Ahsoka said, trying to enlighten the Jedi. "Oh how terrible." He joked. They both chuckled. "Ahsoka, you have made a fine Jedi. And Anakin was a fine teacher." She smiled at Obi wan. "Well ex-Jedi. I left the order..." Ahsoka looked at the Jedi and paused. "I failed him, this is because of me." Ahsoka looked down. Obi wan put a warm hand on the former jedis shoulder. "Ahsoka, you made your choice, Anakin made his, you didn't fail him." Obi wan told the togruta. Ahsoka suddenly sensed Obi wans stress as he knew he wouldn't be able to protect the teen and fight anakin. "Obi wan, you don't have to protect me. I'll be fine." Ahsoka held the Jedi masters hand. The atmosphere went quiet as the ship landed on mustafar. "I think we're here," Obi wan told the togruta.
