THE WAR HAD BEEN RAGING FOR three years. during those long years nova had been pardoned for her past crimes and was made a general to help with the war efforts for the republic after the battle of geonosis along with the jedi. obi-wan and nova were usually put together on missions which helped as after that night on the ship back to coruscant their forbidden romance began.
nights were spent in each others arms, stealing quick kisses or spent worrying about one another while they were sent away to fight on a completely separate planet. it was tough on both of them to try and keep their relationship a secret but they knew the consequences if it ever did get exposed. ahsoka and anakin sometimes picked up on the small touches or longing glances they sent one another but they never questioned it especially anakin knowing he and padmé were having to do the same thing.
it was a simple mission nova had been assigned to, a security mission for the chancellor which she thought would be a nice break from the other tiring missions she had been sent on. she was quite mistaken, general grievious had invaded the capitol and took chancellor palpatine and nova onto his ship as bait for whatever jedi would be assigned to retrieve them.
nova was shoved into a separate holding cell from the chancellor, leaving her waiting impatiently for whoever would hopefully come to free her.

the doors finally burst opened, causing nova to jump up ready to fight whoever had opened the door. thankfully it wasn't another droid, a familiar bearded jedi and his former padawan standing with their arms crossed. "well well well, look who we found," anakin mused with a smirk on his face. nova rolled her eyes, giving the younger jedi a small punch on his arm.
anakin walked further on towards where the chancellor was being held, while nova and obi-wan slowed down. "are you alright darling?" he asked, eyes searching frantically for any injuries his hand placed on her elbow bringing her closer. a small smile appeared on her face, "i'm fine kenobi, don't worry," nova nodded reassuringly about to caress his face until she heard anakin clear his throat motioning them to hurry up.
they made their way down the hallway carefully avoiding the droids that were walking around. "give me your lightsaber for a second," she whispered to one of the jedi, which both gave her a look of confusion. she huffed, "please," she whispered, holding her hand out. obi-wan nudged anakin who was about to protest but huffed and placed his lightsaber in her hand. she sent them both a victorious smile before looking round the corner.
she waited for a droid to walk past, as it took a few steps past them before igniting anakin's blue lightsaber and with one fluid motion cutting it in half. nova quickly picked up its gun, returning the lightsaber back to anakin who still looked throughly unimpressed. "you know i could've done that for you," obi-wan spoke trying not to laugh at anakin's reaction. "yeah but where's the fun in that," she shrugged, walking towards the doors at the end of the hallway towards where the chancellor was being held.
they slowly entered the large room the chancellor was being held in, the chair near the large set of windows slowly turned revealing the chancellor. nova held onto her blaster tightly looking around incase any droids decide to pop out while they made their way down the stairs and to the chancellor.
"chancellor," obi-wan bowed his head before anakin asked, "are you alright?" nova followed his gaze that wasn't on the two jedi in front of him. "count dooku," he spoke quietly while the count emerged from the doors with droids following him closely behind. "this time we do it together," obi-wan spoke moving in front of nova protectively remembering the last time they ran into count dooku. "i was about to say that," anakin agreed standing defensively ready to ignite his lightsaber. "stay with the chancellor," obi-wan spoke softly into nova's ear, as he watched count dooku flip from the balcony.
she nodded, her grip on the blaster tightening, as she watched him move closer. "get help, you're no match for him. he's a sith lord," chancellor palpatine spoke. "chancellor palpatine, sith lords are our speciality," he said with a smirk causing nova to roll her eyes at her lover. both jedi dropped their cloaks, ready to fight count dooku once more.
"your swords please. we don't want to make a mess of things in front of the chancellor," dooku's deep voice rung out, as he walked closer to the group. "you won't get away this time dooku," obi-wan mused as he ignited his lightsaber awaiting the duel. the fight suddenly begun, the pair fought hard and fast, deflecting and blocking the oncoming attacks. nova shot her blaster a few times, hitting two of the droids square in the chest causing them to fall with a loud clatter.
dooku forced pushed obi-wan away leaving anakin to continue fighting dooku himself. nova felt herself flinch seeing obi-wan hit the ground with such force but he got up quickly, and ran to the other side of the stairs, taking down the remaining battle droids with ease. he swung his lightsaber over his head about to hit dooku but his reflexes were faster. the sith lord lift obi-wan off his feet, clawing for air he flew through the air taking another rough landing.
the platform above fell after dooku pulled it down using the force, landing on obi-wan. with a sharp gasp, "obi!" she exclaimed running towards him forgetting about protecting the chancellor. she kneeled in front of him throwing her gun to one side, she tried to push the platform off him with all her strength. no matter how hard nova pushed it refused to move, she brought his head onto her lap pushed the stray hair out of his eyes.
"kill him," nova's head turned when the chancellor spoke, she immediately noticed anakin standing over count dooku with his own lightsaber and dooku's at his neck. "i shouldn't," anakin sound conflicted his hands shaking slightly. "anakin, you don't have to do it," nova spoke just loud enough, she caught the chancellor's eyes who looked angered by her words. "do it," palpatine commanded and anakin followed suit in one swift motion.
nova squeezed her eyes shut only hearing the heavy thud of dooku falling lifeless to the ground. "you did well anakin, he was too dangerous to be kept alive," the chancellor told the younger jedi. nova's attention went back to the unconscious obi-wan lying on her lap. anakin and the chancellor continued talking while she ran her fingers through her hair still in shock at what had just happened.
over time nova and a anakin had grown closer during the war, he was a compassionate but strong jedi. she'd never thought he would actually kill dooku, that wasn't the mission at hand.
anakin ran over and placed a hand on her shoulder causing nova to jump slightly at the sudden touch. "anakin there's no time, we must get off this ship before it's too late," palpatine spoke loudly, a frustrated expression fell onto nova's face before pleading with anakin to move the platform and help his master. "he seems alright," the younger jedi told the chancellor as nova moved away from obi-wan to let anakin get him out.
"leave him or we'll never make it," the chancellor tried to persuade anakin once again but he knew that anakin would never leave without his master or nova.
