Carmine rode for hours with Boba in his arms. Boba soon woke up and saw that he was no longer in his bed, and exiting the walls of Naboo.

"Carmine? Where are you taking me?" Boba asked. "I want Mommy!"

"Shh. Don't worry, Boba. It's gonna be okay. I'm keeping you safe from the bad guys."

"What about Mommy's coronation?"

"That's where the bad guys would try to take you. But, I'm sure Anakin's alerted the other Jedi-teers by now, and your mommy will be safe."

But little did he know just how wrong he was.

Anakin woke up very groggily, and found himself unable to move. He looked at his wrists and found himself in Force-proof cuffs that got tighter if he tried to use the Force to escape, and his mouth was covered by a scarf so he couldn't scream for help.

Anakin struggled to get up, but found himself chained around his waist to the wall.

A sinister chuckle filled the air as another dark figure emerged from the shadows.

"Well, well, well... I must confess, you were more of a challenge than I would've believed, Young Skywalker."

Anakin's eyes were filled with horror as he looked and saw Captain Palpatine really was the Sith Lord, just like Carmine said. The Sith Lord removed the cloth from the Jedi's mouth so he could speak.

"Captain Palpatine?!" Anakin gasped. "How could you?"

"It is nothing personal, Anakin. You truly were a fascinating student. Passing all your tests, outdoing so many Jedi beyond your years. I am surprised you did not become a musketeer at age ten. You could've been the youngest Jedi-teer in history."

"My loyalty was to my pack." Anakin growled. "What have you done with Ahsoka?"

"I'm afraid she will be diving to a fitting for her halo." Palpatine said.

"You won't get away with this! The other Jedi-teers will come looking for me and the others too!"

"That is where you come in." Palpatine said. "I obviously will not be able to use the child as a hostage now, but now the princess has fallen for you, and your guardian Kenobi will do anything to protect you, the child of his former mentor... including preventing the Jedi-teers from foiling my plans."

"No! You can't do this!" Anakin cried out in pain as his restraints got tighter.

"Face it, Anakin. It's all for one, and you are all you have now."

Palpatine placed the cloth back over Anakin's mouth and slammed the door as he left him behind.

Shortly thereafter, Anakin took off his father's hat and looked at it. He felt that he'd failed his father, his friends, and himself by not being able to see Palpatine's true colors from the start, and placing him in a spot to be used as a hostage.

Anakin managed to get the cloth off his mouth, then he hugged the hat and started to cry.

"I'm sorry, Dad. I'm so sorry! I've failed you and Mom too." He sniffled.

Suddenly, Anakin heard a soft whinny. And he looked up to a small window to see Sapphire peeking through.

"Sapphire?" Anakin gasped.

"Anakin, are you okay?" Sapphire whispered.

"No. Palpatine's gonna use me as a hostage at the coronation. Listen carefully." Anakin whispered. "I need you to go back to the palace and warn the other Jedi-teers about Palpatine. Find Ahsoka, and make sure Carmine and Boba are out of Naboo safely."

So, Sapphire quickly ran as fast as she could and flew toward the palace.

Meanwhile, Ahsoka struggled in the chains she was forced into by Lieutenant Rex.

It pained Rex to have to do this. He never admitted it, but he always had a bit of a thing for Togruta girls, especially this one right before him. Something about her feisty attitude and tough girl image just made her so attractive. But, orders were orders.

"I'm sorry, Musketeer Tano." said Rex. "This is the end of the line. Time to sleep with the fishes."

Ahsoka, however, sensed something in Rex. By now, she'd gotten used to guys finding her attractive, and here in this one, she could sense this particular clone had a huge crush on her, and she decided to use that to her advantage.

"You know, it really is a shame." Ahsoka said flirtatiously. "You've worked alongside me for some time, and to make a move, you decide to chain me up."

Rex was a bit surprised.

Ahsoka:

Your chains of love now hold me tight,

Togruta beauty makes your heart take flight!

Rex knew she was right, but he shook himself to focus.

Rex:
You will not change my mind one smidge,
I'm going to drop you screaming off this bridge!

Ahsoka:
Oh, Rexster, so strong and tough, yet helpless in love.

Rex could hear a chorus singing in his head as he was debating what to do in his head.

Chorus:
Her love's so sweet,
Her love's so blind.

Rex:
Poor girl...

Chorus:
You have to kill her,
Or she'll change your mind.

Rex:
Poor grunge...

Chorus:
Say farewell
To that poor girl grunge!

Rex:
Farewell!

Chorus:
'Cause it's your duty as she'll...

Rex and chorus:
Take the plunge!

Rex tied Ahsoka's chain to a heavy weight that would ensure she sunk to the bottom of the river.

Ahsoka:
Lieutenant Rex, you charm my soul
You leave me utterly beyond control
Call me a girl, but one thing's clear
Dropping me isn't what's in your heart!

And something in Rex snapped.

Chorus:
She's changed your mind!

Rex:
She's just so smart,
And here, she's reached right here into my heart.
I love her strength, her blue eyes' gaze
Her Jedi charm...
Has set my heart!
Ablaze!

Ahsoka fluttered her eyelashes at Rex and leaned in... and the Jedi and now former accomplice to Sidious kissed. They could practically hear a chorus of angels singing as they felt a spark when they kissed.

That was when Fiesta and Sapphire burst in.

"Ahsoka!" Sapphire exclaimed.

"Sapphire? Fiesta!" Ahsoka said. "How'd you guys find me?"

"We know about Captain Palpatine. He's using Anakin as a hostage." Sapphire said.

Rex looked guiltily at Ahsoka and confirmed it was true.

"We don't have much time." Rex said. "Palpatine will stop at nothing to take the throne. The laws state that without any other member of the royal family as heir, as the most loyal advisor, he gets to be king."

"What?!" Ahsoka said.

"It's true." Fiesta said.

"We have to find Carmine and save Anakin." said Sapphire.

"But, it was a lie." Ahsoka said. "We're not really Jedi-teers."

"That's just what Palpatine wants you to think." Rex said. "I saw you fight out there. You're no Padawan, Ahsoka. You can fight him."

"Not on my own, I can't." said Ahsoka. "It's gonna take more than one Jedi-teer to save the day."

"I think I know where Carmine might've taken Boba." said Sapphire.

Harmony stopped as she came across what looked like the remains of an old barn.

Carmine managed to reinforce the building's supports with some wood he found in the forest and old metal tools that had miraculously survived the fire years ago.

"We'll be safe here as long as no one finds us." Carmine said.

Boba sat on some hay, wrapped in a blanket to keep him warm.

"How long do we have to stay here?" Boba asked.

"Hopefully not long." Carmine said, setting up some bales of hay to act as a bed. "We just need to make sure no one knows who you are out here. We'll rest here for the night, then we'll find a town where I can find a job and get us some more suitable shelter, and we can live undercover until we know it's safe to return to Naboo."

Just then, Harmony came in.

"Carmine, we have visitors." Harmony said.

"Visitors?" Carmine was confused.

That was when Ahsoka came in.

"Hi, Carmine." said the Togruta.

"Ahsoka!" Carmine exclaimed happily. He hugged Ahsoka and spun her around. "Wait, where's Anakin?"

"Palpatine's captured him!" Sapphire said.

"He's going to use him as a hostage at the coronation tomorrow." Fiesta said. "He'd planned to use Boba for that, but now he's changed the plan so the Jedi-teers won't be able to stop him either."

"Then... that means no one will be able to stop him!" Carmine realized.

"Carmine, I know you're scared." Ahsoka said. "But we can't do this alone. Naboo needs us. The Jedi-teers need us. Anakin needs us. We may be their only hope of saving them from a Sith Lord as king."

Carmine was afraid. Now more than ever. His brother was in danger, the whole kingdom was in danger... and who knew... knowing Sith Lords, Sidious might not even stop there. Before they knew it, he may spread his reign of terror to other kingdoms as well, and then no one would be safe anymore! And that included the young prince.

"So... will you come with us?" Ahsoka asked. She held up Qui-Gon's lightsaber.

Carmine looked at the lightsaber and thought. He could hear his father's voice echo in his head.

You have more strength that you realize, Carmine. The Force is strong within you. Your brother needs you. Go save him.

And Carmine knew that voice was right. Anakin had saved him more times than he could count, and always stood by him whenever he was afraid. Now, it was his turn to rescue him, and he was not about to let his fears get in the way this time. He took the lightsaber and said, "Let's do this!"

And the two Jedi-teers raised their lightsabers together.

"All for one, and one for all!"
