Child of War

Partner

I tied off my hair in a thick loose braid, letting some of the hairs fly free. I pulled on a green robe over my yellow shirt and tied a belt at my waist. A pair of knee-high brown boots covered my black pants.

"Are you sure this'll work?" I asked as I picked up a sleek helmet.

"Yes." Master Windu stood in the corner of my small room in the med bay. "You're not a well known Jedi and because you're a padawan, most separatists don't bother to remember your face."

I crossed my arms. "Are you saying I'm forgettable?"

"No," Master Windu crossed his arms. "I'm saying you're not a high prize to the separatists. You're expendable."

"Fine," I conceded, "but if this mission fails because they recognize me, I'm blaming you."

He raised an eyebrow. "I expected nothing less." He straightened and moved to the door. "Come on, he's waiting."

I tucked my helmet under my arm. "Well, this should be fun."

Master Windu led me to another cubicle-like room farther down the hall.

I waited outside the door until it opened again and Master Windu finished saying something about a partner.

I walked in. "Hello there, Master Kenobi."

His jaw almost dropped, which was impressive considering how little he expressed his emotions. "Lianna?"

I smirked. "Surprise. You didn't think the Council would let you do this alone, did you?"

He stroked his chin where his beard used to be. His head was completely shaved. "I suppose you'd make quite the bounty hunter."

I shrugged. "Yeah, I probably would've been one if someone else had found me on Lah'mu."

A droid injected something into Master Kenobi's neck and he groaned in pain as his face changed to take on a different appearance.

I assumed it was the face of a bounty hunter. This was going to be fun.

Masters Yoda, Windu, Kenobi and I went to a bar in a lower level of Coruscant to confront the real bounty hunter - Rako Hardeen. I stayed in the other room while they hijacked his clothes and voice.

When we regrouped, Master Kenobi looked and sounded completely different. His voice was deeper.

"I guess this is where we split up." I looked to Master Yoda for confirmation.

He nodded. "Careful, you must be. Unpredictable, this mission will be."

I nodded and so did Master Kenobi.

I gave Master Kenobi a mischievous look. "See you when you get out of prison."

He chuckled, which sounded odd with his new voice. "Count on it."
