In accordance with Bruno's vision as well as the advice of the EHC's relic guard captain, the Skywalker-Jinn family was now moving to get all their belongings packed and ready to go early three days later.

"I thought we weren't moving for another week!" Lamenta said. "Why do we have to leave now?"

"It's for the safety of our family, Sweetie." Carmine told his daughter. "There's a Doresho Moth on the loose, and we have to be prepared. We've already come up with a plan."

"Can't you at least tell us what it is?" Boba asked.

"Not yet. We still have to make a few more arrangements."

"Once Anakin and Gabriella return from battle," said Qui-Gon. "We'll be taking further action to ensure we will all be safe."

Right now, the Jedi were currently scattered far from the Core Worlds to bolster the beleaguered clones. Of course, all of them were accompanied by any sirens they could gather, who were given more Song Dust to ensure they didn't miss any inhibitor chips. Whatever was going on with the clones, they had to ensure those plans did not succeed.

Meanwhile, on the distant world on Yerbana, Commander Cody of the 212th was in desperate need of reinforcements.

"Take cover! Take cover!"

There had to be at least a thousand battle droids on the bridge the clones fought upon, and more were being blown up by the minute. And Cody would've been one of them had Obi-Wan not bravely ridden in on his steed and blocked the attack with his lightsaber.

"General!" exclaimed Cody.

Obi-Wan and Peppermint blocked more shots with their lightsaber or magic.

"Cody, get down!" Obi-Wan ordered.

The clones, Jedi, and unicorn quickly hid behind giant pieces of rubble.

"Well, I can see things are going splendidly on this front." said Obi-Wan sarcastically.

"It's no good." said Cody. "We can't locate the tactical droid. He's staying out of sight."

And another explosion hit, luckily not harming anyone severely.

"Definitely not my favorite version of Hide-and-Seek." said Peppermint.

"Anakin, where are you?" said Obi-Wan.

"We're right here." said Anakin, arriving with Sapphire. He looked down at Obi-Wan with a smirk. "What are you doing down there?"

Sapphire ducked to dodge a blaster bolt.

"We are taking cover." said Obi-Wan. "Now get down!"

"You're not serious. There's only a thousand droids down there, tops." Anakin said. "Sapphire, stay."

And Anakin began to walk towards the droids.

"What are you up to?" asked Obi-Wan. "Where are Captain Rex and Princess Gabriella?"

"We already finished our battle, so we decided to come help you with yours."

"You're overdoing it. Again!"

Anakin knelt to talk to his old master.

"Master, I mean no disrespect." said the Jedi prince. "If you want, I can hide here with you, and we can let the people in the city suffer longer."

"Now, Anakin, you know I-"

"For once, can't you two be adults?" Sapphire shook her head.

"Or we can do things my way and help them now."

Obi-Wan sighed. "All right. I know better than to try and stop you. What's your plan this time?"

"Stay here."

And off Anakin went to commence his plan.

"One target approaching." said a battle droid. "We can't hit it."

"Identify target." said another.

And a battle droid looked through his scopes to spot Anakin.

"Cease fire. All batteries take aim at the Jedi."

And as ordered, all the droids aimed their weapons at Anakin, who showed no signs of fear.

"Ready. Aim."

"Hold your fire!" Anakin shouted, raising his hands. "Hold your fire."

Obi-Wan, Cody, and the horses peeked from the rubble with confusion on their faces.

"I have come to surrender." Anakin said.

"Surrender?" said a battle droid. "That's a relief. Notify the tactical droid."

"Your forces fought valiantly," continued Anakin. "and I must admit that we are overmatched by your superior firepower. I congratulate you, for I have fought in many battles on many planets..."

But what the battle droids didn't know was that Anakin's speech was just a diversion.

R2 peeked up above from the side of the bridge, and he rolled towards the underside, where he met Rex.

"Artoo." Rex whispered. "How much longer are we stuck down here?"

"Yeah," whispered Gabby. "My legs are gonna fall asleep if I hang here much longer!"

"I could've just carried you, you know." said Carousella, who flew nearby.

R2 beeped to tell them they were almost ready to go.

"Great. I'll tell the boys." Rex said.

And Rex told the other clones that they had to hang in there a little longer, but he was met with a bunch of groans and sighs.

"Quit being a bunch of babies." Carousella said.

"Easy for you to say." said one clone.

"At least you got more time to just hang out."

"So, it is with these thoughts in mind," said Anakin. "that I gladly surrender myself to the mercy of the Separatist forces."

That was when the tactical droid came in and asked his battle droids why they ceased fire.

"Jedi Prince, Anakin Skywalker, has surrendered to us, Commander." said the battle droid.

"There he is." Anakin smiled, seeing their target.

"It's a trap, you fools." said the tactical droid. "Open fire!"

"Now, Artoo!" Anakin exclaimed.

Anakin used the Force to pull the tactical droid towards himself and slice the droid's head clean off, while R2 signaled the clones to jetpack up, and Gabby unleashed her wings and flew in, as did Anakin, with Carousella and Sapphire of course.

The droids were blasted, swallowed by carnivorous plants, and kicked by horses.

"General." said Cody to Obi-Wan.

"Yes, Cody. You may join the fun as well." said Obi-Wan.

"Yes, sir. Blast them!"

And Cody and his clones all ran in and joined in the fun.

Anakin, however, stopped and met his friend on the bridge.

"Bravo, Anakin. You've done it again." said Obi-Wan.

"Oh, I can't take all the credit." Anakin smirked. "Your state of helplessness really sold them on my surrender talk."

Obi-Wan couldn't help smiling. "Always glad to help, my friend."

Just then, Anakin's comm link beeped.

"Skywalker here. What is it, Admiral?"

"Sir, we've received a transmission from Commander Tano." said Admiral Trench.

"Perhaps the siege at Onderon had taken a turn for the worse."

"No, sir. It appears someone is with her and they are asking to speak with Prince Anakin and Princess Gabriella."

Anakin hung up and called Gabby over.

Anakin, Gabby, Obi-Wan, and their horses all walked into a room on the ship, where Admiral Trench had the holo-transmission ready.

"All right, Admiral." said Anakin. "What's so important you brought us all the way back here?"

And they were surprised to see their old friends Princesses Ginger and Dracona of Elementara, Princess Vivian of Vulgardia, Princess Fantasia of Equinaro, and Princess Memoria of Lefintiscia.

"Hello, Anakin." said Ginger. "It's been a while."

"Ginger? It has been a long time." Anakin said. "What's going on?"

"Ahsoka was sent to check on something with the Vacuo Scepter at the Enchanted High Commission's Relic Chamber." Vivian explained. "It seems the scepter has been stolen."

"Uh oh!" Gabby said. "Who took it?"

"We managed to get security footage," said Memoria. "and look what we found."

The footage showed a clear video of the guards being attacked by musical instruments, and the system being shut off, allowing someone to enter the room where the scepter was. A little girl. But not just any little girl. A little girl with hair like Bruno's tied in a ponytail.

"Wait a minute!" Anakin exclaimed as the girl exited with the scepter. "Zoom in on the thief."

Memoria zoomed in and enhanced the video to get a clearer view.

"That's Rosella!" Gabby said, recognizing her from her picture.

"But that doesn't make sense." Peppermint said. "Why would Rosella steal a scepter?"

"Look at Rosella's face. That's the mark of a Doresho Gypsy."

"She must be under Lady Morpha's spell!" Anakin said.

"But where is she now?" Obi-Wan said.

"That's what we need to find out." Ginger said. "Luckily, according to our research, the scepter hasn't been used for about two hundred years, meaning its power is too weak to be used at all. By my calculations, it'll need about a month to be strong enough for Lady Morpha to even learn how to use it. But nevertheless, we have to stop her."

Anakin told Ahsoka to meet them on the cruiser so they could figure out what to do.

"Gabby, how much have you managed to gather on Doresho moths so far?" Anakin said.

"Nothing yet on how to defeat them. But I might have found a couple of clues that could help, and a strategy that may help too."

Meanwhile, Boba was just finishing packing the last of his belongings so they could be loaded onto the ship.

"I'm pretty excited about moving into the palace," said Remix. "but I've gotta say, I'm really gonna miss this old place."

"You're not the only one." Boba said. "This was my first real home after I lost my father."

Remix nuzzled his boy.

"It'll be okay, Boba." Remix said. "You know what they say. Home is where the heart is. And you're gonna be with your family. No matter where we are, as long as we're together, we're home."

Boba smiled a bit. "When did you become so wise?"

"I learned it from you. Remember how I didn't seem completely homesick I was when I first moved in with you? Well, a lot hides behind my smiles and smooth moves."

Boba chuckled and said, "Well, I guess you'll have more room to really practice your moves at the palace. And going to a real school with other kids doesn't sound too bad at this point."

Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Gabby soon met with Ahsoka as she arrived in the ship. R2 was first to rush to her. And when Fantasia exited the ship too...

Carousella rushed right to her best friend, and the two nuzzled and ran around with each other like a couple of playful fillies. And Gabby wasted no time hugging her old friends.

"It's been forever since we've seen each other." Ginger said, patting Gabby's head.

"Some things just never change." Anakin chuckled.

That was when he was jumped on by Vivian, who started licking him.

"Okay! Okay! I missed you too, Vivian." Anakin spat and sputtered. "Stop it! It tickles!"

"We're glad we could be here." said Dracona.

"We'll have to catch up another time though." said Ahsoka.

"She's right." said Ginger. "Every minute we waste here gives Lady Morpha more time to grow her plans and spread her moth bites farther."

"Farther?" Obi-Wan said.

"You haven't heard, have you?" Ginger said.

"Lady Morpha has already begun spreading her moth bites across Mythiria." Vivian said. "She's already gotten to our parents, and many of our friends."

"What?!" Gabby said.

"What about my dad?" Carousella asked.

"He's fine." Fantasia promised. "My mother managed to evacuate him and many others to Planet Escuela before she was caught. The kingdom of Pearlaqua is safe though. I guess Morpha's moths don't like water."

"But Escuela can only hold so many people." Ginger said. "It's the one place in all of Enchantra that's impossible for dark Enchanted to enter. Morpha, however, prefers to attack magical folk. Ordinary folk, including Jedi, she sees as completely useless and easier to overthrow, especially with Enchanteds by her side. That's why we need your help to save our part of the galaxy."

"I understand." said Obi-Wan. "Follow me."

"It turns out the Enchantra High Commission has been on Lady Morpha's trail for years, and only months ago she began to show a trail." Ahsoka explained. "I was able to obtain some information on her and notice a pattern between her attacks."

"She goes after the common folk first," said Vivian. "Lady Morpha knows the royal family would never attack their own people, and she uses them to lead the royal families into a panic, which makes them more susceptible to her attacks.

"Have you tried the common ways of breaking someone out of a dark spell?" Gabby asked.

"We've already tried snapping and clapping." Dracona said. "Those of us with hands, anyway. But no effect."

"What about spraying water in their faces?" Gabby said. "You said Pearlaqua was the only kingdom that was left alone."

"That's right. Maybe water affects the moth bites."

"We haven't tried that yet. But we need time to strategize. If Morpha is working with the Separatists, we may be facing a bigger threat than we previously thought."

"There might be answers at Cantata though. They have one of the largest known libraries in Enchantra." Vivian said. "There might be answers in the restricted area.

Anakin took a private walk with his Padawan before she would be heading to Cantata with the princesses (except Gabby). Gabby also used a spell she learned to make an exact copy of the journal she had in case Ahsoka needed it.

Anakin worried. He had a kingdom that needed to be restored, his family was potentially in danger, and he worried about his unborn baby more than anything else right now.

"Nervous about the baby?" Ahsoka asked.

"Yeah, but it isn't just that." Anakin said. "The kids are still worried about the move and the war and everything else happening all at once."

"Have any of you had any luck figuring out that thing with the portal?"

"Not yet. For the Madrigals' sake, I hope we can at least find Rosella and bring her back to them."

And it was true. Creating a portal to other worlds was an act that had been out of practice for centuries. Portals were said to require an unimaginable amount of concentration, precision, and courage.

"What if we can't send them home?" Ahsoka wondered out loud.

Anakin froze for a moment. "Let's not think about that. We'll find a way to get them home, just like you'll be finding a way to defeat Lady Morpha."

Suddenly, Obi-Wan burst in.

"Anakin, Rex, prepare all forces." said Obi-Wan. "We're jumping to hyperspace immediately."

"Yes, sir." said Rex. "Men, with me."

The clones all began running to their stations.

"Are we accompanying Ahsoka and the others?" Anakin asked.

"No, it's Coruscant." said Obi-Wan, crossing his arms. "Grievous has attacked the capitol."

"What about the Chancellor?"

"Shaak Ti has been sent to protect him, but Master Windu has lost contact with her."

Anakin suddenly looked worried.

"Not to worry." Obi-Wan reassured his friend. "Our fleet can be there within the hour."

"And what about this magical matter?"

"We're gonna take care of it." Gabby said, taking out the copy of the journal she made. "Take this with you. It might help you with finding answers about Doresho Gypsies."

"Ahsoka, surely you understand this is a pivotal moment in the Clone Wars." sadi Obi-Wan. "The heart of the Republic is under attack."

"I understand that, as usual, you're playing politics." said Ahsoka. "This is why the people have lost faith in the Jedi. I had too, until I was reminded of what the Order means to people who truly need us."

"Right now, people on Coruscant need us, including our families."

"Your families, or the Chancellor?"

"That's not fair."

"I'm not trying to be."

"Okay, that's enough." Anakin said, getting between his two friends. "I'll divide the 501st, make a new division under Ahsoka's command."

"I suppose that could work." Obi-Wan shrugged.

"She won't be alone either." said Fiesta, entering the scene and wrapping Ahsoka in her wing. "We'll protect each other."

And thus, after exchanging a few looks, the teams were decided and ready to head on their ways.

"May the Force be with you."
