{2} The Reckless Skywalker {Attack of the Clones}

The Tusken Raiders, With Following Pain

{Silver's POV}

I followed him, and waited with the speeder as he talked to a few people, and I nodded at him, as he came by me again, and continued to ride the speeder.

We stopped on a cliff, and I slipped down and into the shadows of the cliff edge, while Anakin crouched on top.

From our viewpoints, we could both see the Tusken Raiders camp, and my gaze went to him, and he nodded.

I watched as Anakin leaped down quickly, and landed lightly next to me, as we crept quickly towards them.

I heard growling and snarling from the camp and I looked at Anakin, who shook his head at me, when I went for my staff.

We both continued to race around the camp, and I felt pain from somewhere in one of the hovels, and Anakin used his lightsaber to cut a hole.

I kicked it in, and stayed outside as Anakin quickly went in, and released our mom, and he held her.

"Mom." He said, and she moaned.

"Mom? Mom?" He asked, and lowered her to the ground. "Ani?" She asked as I began and got ready to fight quickly, some Tusken Raiders.

"Ani? Is it you?" Our mom asked, and I felt my sadness growing as well as my pain for both Anakin and I as well.

"I'm here, Mom. So is Silver. You're safe." Anakin said to her, and I felt tears coming to my eyes.

"Ani? Ani?" She said, quietly, as she was repeating his name. "Oh, you look so handsome, my son."

She said. "Oh, my grown-up son. I'm so proud of you, Ani." She said. "Every day, I missed you." Anakin said.

"Now I am complete."

She said, and I felt the tears overflowing. "I love y..." She started, as the tears began to flow very much harder down my face.

"Stay with me, Mom. Everything..."

I heard Anakin say, and I felt the pain, and it was waves and they kept taking us now both under the water.

"She's gone." He whispered, and I looked at him, and felt the pain and overwhelming rage from him.

I pulled out my staff, and he brought out his own lightsaber as we went out and began to kill all of the Raiders.

They dared to come at us, and we killed every one of them, and I was full of fury and agony.

After we were done with them, we came back, flying the speeder, and I got off, as Anakin took our mother's body.

I followed him as he went to the gravesite that they had made in our absence, and I looked at him.

I was in the garage with him, watching in silence, and occasionally picking up a tool to help him.

"I brought you both something." I heard Padmé say to us, and I shook my head. "Where's District?"

I asked, and she looked at me.

"Asleep. She felt your pain, all through the whole night, and couldn't sleep for the life of us." She said.

"The shifter broke." Anakin said, and I went to sit in the corner now working and tinkering on another piece.

"Life seems so much simpler when you're fixing things." Anakin said, and I sighed at his comment.

"I'm good at fixing things. I always was. But I couldn't..." He started, and I looked at him.

"Why'd she have to die? Why... Couldn't I have save her? I know I could have!"

He said, and I looked at him.

"Sometimes... There are things, that no one could fix." Padmé said. "You're not all-powerful, Ani." Padmé said.

"Well, I should be!" Anakin snapped, and slammed the tool down onto the table. "Someday I will be."

He said, and I looked at him.

"You can't save everyone Anakin." I said, and he threw the tool at the wall, and I had to duck to avoid it.

It clanged where my head had been as I looked at him. "I will be the most powerful Jedi ever! I promise you."

He said, and I looked at him.

"Anakin. Do not ever, never ever. make promises like that. You are never going to be more powerful... then Master Yoda is." I said.

"Shut up!" He said, and I flinched back at his words. "I will even learn how to stop people from dying."

He said, and I looked at Padmé.

"Anakin." She said. "It's all Obi-Wan's fault! He's jealous! He's holding me all the way back!"

He shouted, and I looked at him.

"Anyone would be lucky to have Obi-Wan Kenobi as their Jedi Master Anakin how dare you!" I snapped.

"I would've rather had you!" He said, and I slapped him. He looked at me as I felt a flash of pain. "Do not ever wish away him again. Because one day, you will lose him! Just like I lost Qui-Gon!"

I shouted at him, and I stormed out of the garage, and went towards the ship and I went into it.

I saw R2 D2, trying to work some of his droid magic, and I sighed at him. I heard him clatter.

"What is it R2?" I asked, and District woke up. "A transmission from Obi? I was fighting the Tusken Raiders! R2!"

I said, and he played it for me.

"Anakin, Silver. I have lost. My long-range transmitter has been knocked out. You are to retransmit this message to Coruscant."

Obi-Wan was saying, and Padmé pressed a few buttons to quickly do so, and I was watching the rest.

"I have tracked the bounty hunter Jango Fett... to the droid foundries on Geonosis. The Trade Federation is to take delivery of a droid army here, and it is clear that Viceroy Gunray... is behind the assassination attempts on Senator Amidala. The Commerce Guilds and the Corporate Alliance have both pledged their armies to Count Dooku, and are forming a... Wait. Wait."

Obi-Wan said, and he was fighting a Destroyer, and the message from him fizzled out.

"Anakin, we will deal with Count Dooku. Silver, you are to take the ship and meet us on Geonosis. Anakin and the Senator are to remain on Tatooine but the most important thing for them is to stay where they are. Protect the Senator at all costs. That is your first priority." Mace Windu said.

"Understood, Master." Anakin said, and the hologram fizzled out. "Both of you go. Now."

I said, and they looked at me. "But they'll never get there in time to save him. They'll have to come halfway across the entire galaxy. Look."

Padmé said, and I looked at her.

"Yes. Which is why you both are staying here. Now go." I said, and they looked at me both clearly not moving.

"No. Not now." I said, and they looked at me. "I hate you both." I said, and he sighed. "Let's go." He said, as we were strapping in.

I flew in the co-pilot's seat, and I was following Anakin's directions, and we followed the smoke.
