35-What's To Come
(y/n)'s POV
"There's his ship over there." I pointed to the familiar vessel in the distance as I guided my own ship to land next to it.
Cal gave me a curious look, "How did you know exactly where his ship was?"
I shrugged nonchalantly, "I may have placed a tracker on his ship about a year ago." Thats how I always find his 'constantly getting caught' ass. I glanced over to my Padawan and placed one finger over my lips,"Don't tell him about it though." I sung with a wink and turned back to face the front so I could focus on landing.
He hummed, "So I have to ask, you and Master Skywalker, are you-"
"Just friends?" Interrupted him quickly, "Yes." I side-glanced him awkwardly and he was giving me a knowing smile.
"If you say so." He sung as I did earlier and moved his attention away from me. Well it looks like Anakin and I are going to have to be extra careful around him.
I sighed as I landed, "We are just friends, relationships and attachments are forbidden Cal, you know this." I glanced over to him with a cocked brow.
He rolled his eyes in response with a small sigh, "Don't tell anyone I said this Master, but I think that rule is stupid." He told me with a huff as he unclipped his belt and stood up.
I smiled slightly, "I don't disagree." I responded in a tone low enough so he wasn't able to hear me as I unclipped myself and stood up as well. We both walked off of our ship and I eyed Anakin's, it was covered in brand new scorch marks. I glanced over to an entrance into a rocky building not too far from here, "I can't feel him, although I can feel-"
As if on cue, Ahsoka dropped down next to us with her lightsabers in hand, "Oh thank god it's you two." She sighed with relief as she retracted both of her green blades, Artoo rolled up next to her with a few annoyed beeps, "Skyguy and Kenobi got caught voluntarily and I'm supposed to sneak in through a vent to aid in an escape, trouble is, Artoo and I can't find any that aren't blocked off." She shrugged with an worried look in her eyes.
I rolled my eyes, "Of course he'd get caught voluntarily," I sighed as I grabbed my lightsaber from my belt, "Artoo stay with Anakin's ship and get it ready for a quick take off." I ordered the droid who beeped obediently, before turning and rolling up the ramp. I don't want to have to leave my own ship here, but if a quick get away is what we'll need, then I'll make the sacrifice. I turned and faced the two Padawan's, "You two; get your weapons ready, stay behind me, and let's go." I gestured for them to follow me.
They both quickly caught up to my pace and followed obediently on both sides of me, "How are we getting in?" Cal questioned.
I gestured towards the front entrance that we were currently walking towards with a smile on my face,"The front door, obviously." Like I would have it any other way.
Anakin's POV
"I really hope this is a part of your elaborate plan Anakin." Obi-Wan sighed from next to me as we both hung from our force-restraint prisons.
I turned my head to him with a positive grin, "Of course it is, we can't actually talk if we're in the middle of combat and I can't risk him running away. So getting caught was the best idea I could come up with." I shrugged slightly as I faced the closed door; waiting for Dooku to enter it eventually, "Why do you think snips and Artoo didn't come in with us; they'll help with our escape once I give the signal."
"How can you possibly give a signal in this condition?" He asked negatively.
I rolled my eyes, "Just have a little faith in me Master."
Before he could give me a response, the door opened and I waited eagerly to see if it was Dooku. To my joy, it was, "Ah Skywalker and Kenobi," He chuckled as he closed the door behind him with the wave of his hand, "You would think that highly skilled Jedi like yourselves wouldn't have gotten caught so easily," He walked over to us with his arms crossed, "It's embarrassing really."
Obi-Wan let out an irritated sigh, "I don't disagree."
"Maybe we wanted to get caught, I have been looking for you after all." I informed him with a smile and his gaze shifted from Obi-Wan to me.
He nodded as he got closer to me, "Yes I know, it was blatantly obvious, you were so close most of the time." He snorted as he dropped his hands to the side, "Is it revenge for your arm or something? It's been years, get over it." He rolled his eyes at me.
I chuckled humorlessly, "No actually, I would like to know who on Coruscant has been feeding you information." I responded nonchalantly.
He smiled, "So you've come to believe that there is a traitor amongst you, how interesting."
I nodded with an eager look in my eyes, "Not only did you suspiciously learn the whereabouts of a certain Jedi, but now that same Jedi has been subject to some unfortunate events." I growled, "I just want to know who it is and why they're interfering with their life."
He shook his head with an amused chuckle, "I assure you, no one is interfering with the life of miss (y/l/n)."
Obi-Wan hummed, "Interesting how you knew that's who he was referring to.. since he never actually gave you her name." My master smiled; proud that he caught the Counts little slip up.
The Count froze for a moment, "That is interesting." I added with a devious smile of my own.
We both eyed him as we waited for him to answer. He hesitated before finally speaking again, "You said that I learned the whereabouts of a certain Jedi, I can only assume that you are referring to when General Grievous took her aboard the malevolence." He spoke so confidently that I probably would've believe him if he didn't hesitate so hard before answering. But no, it was that hesitation that finally proved, my theory has be dead on this entire time.
I shook my head, "Cut the crap Count, tell me who it is or I'll take both of your arms right here, right now."
He let out an ugly, amused laugh, "I don't see how you think that you're in any position to make demands or threats, you're my prisoner." He pulled out his lightsaber and ignited it in an effort to intimidate us. But I didn't feel any fear, "Just know that your little girlfrien-"
"She's not my girlfriend." I interrupted him like that even matters right now, I was just so used to denying it in front of people.
He rolled his eyes, "Fiancé, whatever," Wait how does he know that? "She's being watched very closely, so I'd keep an eye on her if I were you, you never know when she's going to get snatched up." He smiled mischievously and I felt the blood in my veins boil.
"Stay the fuck away from her." I growled in anger, preparing to give Ahsoka the signal. She better be in position or we're fucked.
He brought his free hand up to his chin like he was in deep thought, then he hummed, "I guess you can't keep on eye on her since neither of you are leaving today alive. Such a shame, I would've loved to see your faces when you see what's to come." He tightened his grip on his lightsaber and lifted it in the air.
"Have I ever told you that you smell like dirty dog water Count?" I shouted quickly and he gave me an annoyed, but also confused look.
Don't judge me.. I'm not the one who came up with dirty dog water as the rescue phrase, that was all Ahsoka. She thinks she's funny..
"What the fuck?" Obi-Wan asked with bewilderment.
To my annoyance nothing was happening, she is definitely not in position. So we really are fucked.
"I hate Jedi." He growled as he raised his weapon once more, but he quickly paused when the door behind him suddenly opened.
(y/n)' s POV
I waved the door open and threw in the dead protocol droid inside; causing it to land right behind Dooku, "Oh I'm sorry, was that your droid?" I asked sarcastically with a smirk as he turned around and gave me an irritated stare. The Padawan's were standing idly behind me like I told them to. Neither of them are prepared for a Sith Lord.
I glanced up to see Anakin and Obi-Wan with amused grins as they were floating, stuck inside of a force restraint prison field. That explains why I couldn't feel either of them. I gave my fiancé a wink and his smile grew in response.
"Miss (y/l/n)," Count turned around to fully face me with his crimson blade in hand, "I have no wish to quarrel with you."
I held up my purple blade with a confused look, why would he not want to fight me? "And why is that?" I asked as I tilted my head and stepped a little more forward.
He chuckled as he eyed my movements with caution and a took a few steps away from me, "I have my reasons."
"Well too bad," I shrugged as I rushed towards him and we began to engage in a battle. I guided him away from Obi-Wan and Anakin so Cal and Ahsoka could get them down safely, "Getting old there?" I teased when I realized his swings were slow and submissive.
Although, It almost felt like he wasn't trying to fight me back, but merely just defending himself from my advances.
He smiled as he parried yet another one of my swings, our fiery blades were searing together, mere centimeters from our faces, "Oh no, I'm just studying you. You're awfully aggressive for a Jedi, how troubling." He pushed against my blade and stumbled back slightly as I kept a good distance from him, "Your talents could be used elsewhere."
"Like with you?" I chuckled humorlessly as I twirled my lightsaber in my hand.
"Master (y/l/n) we don't know how to get them down!" I heard Cal yell towards me.
I responded without turning around, "Just break the controls Cal!" I rushed back to Dooku who began defending himself once more, "You're not even fighting back." I growled, I wanted him to fight back. I needed a reason to kill him, I know a Jedi shouldn't think those things, that we shouldn't automatically result to such measures. But this man has caused so much pain and suffering; Including getting me caught and tortured by General Grievous. Not only that, but he was a few seconds away from killing Anakin; which enraged me further. I'll be damn if that man dies before he marries me.
Dooku chuckled as he cockily used his one arm to parry my swings; whilst holding the other behind his back, "I don't need to."
I smiled and mimicked his movement; I placed one hand behind my back as I went in more aggressively. I started to see his face shift into a slight panic, not so cocky now are you? He brought his other arm forward, but I didn't. I spun in a circle and aimed right for his neck; which he deflected, like I expected him to. I pushed his lightsaber down with mine aggressively and brought my other hand forward to grab ahold of the handle of his weapon as I cut through both of his wrists.
I took a step back as I held onto his lightsaber that came out of his now amputated hand. I held both of out lightsabers to his neck in an x formation as I smiled victoriously, "You're done Count." I began to hesitate slightly, I was fighting with an inner part of myself that wanted me to kill him. And I planned to do it when I showed up here, but now he's unarmed, it wouldn't be right if I did.. Almost instantly a headache began to form and my face twisted into one of pain, but I didn't break my formation.
Kill him, kill him my dear, kill him. It sounded like a hundred whispers inside of my head and with every growing second the pain intensified.
"No," I mumbled as I shook my head like it would make the voices go away.
Dooku looked up to me curiously, "It'll only get worse the more you fight it." He whispered in a low tone. Does he know something?
He was going to kill Anakin, you should kill him, do it (y/n).
I was about to give in when I felt a hand on my shoulder, the voices immediately stopped when I looked up to see Anakin. Then Obi-Wan came forward and picked up the Count, "You're gonna look real good in a prison cell Dooku, and it would be my absolute pleasure to personally escort you there." He chuckled as he aggressively pulled our now prisoner away.
I let out a small sigh of relief when the headache subsided and I retracted both of the blades; throwing Dooku's to the side as I clipped mine to my belt. What the hell just happened?
I glanced back up to Anakin, "Where's Cal-"
"Master you did amazing!" Cal immediately came up next to me with an excited grin on his face.
I chuckled as I smiled back at him, "Is that why I didn't get any assistance, you all were too busy watching?" I raised a brow as I eyed all three of them when Ahsoka appeared by Cal's side.
Anakin shrugged with a proud myself, "You looked like you were handling yourself just fine."
I immediately lifted up my hand and smacked my fiancé across the arm, earning me a scowl, "That was for voluntarily," I mocked him in a high pitched voice, "Getting caught, again," I rolled my eyes, "One of these days, I'm not going to come for you."
He gave me a 'yeah fucking right' look with a snort, "I'm sorry, but I needed information from him."
"And did you get it?" I asked as I crossed my arms over my chest.
He gave me a sheepish look, "Yes and no. I now know that a theory I have was correct," He sighed solemnly, "But I'm still lacking when it comes to the details."
I furrowed my brows, "Which one of your theories is it?" He has so many I lose track, they're mostly from his insane paranoia anyway, I love him but I hardly take any of his theories seriously.
He cleared his throat as he looked away from me, "It doesn't matter, I'm taking care of it," He gestured for me and our Padawans to follow him, "Let's get out of here, before any droids decide to pop out."
I walked by his side as we exited the room, "There aren't anymore." I smirked proudly as we had to consistently step over droid parts to get out of this place.
~*~•~*~
"You two, go with Obi-Wan. (y/n) and I will take my ship, we need to.. discus some things regarding the mission." Anakin smiled confidently and I slightly cringed at his obvious lie.
They both crossed their arms at the same time, "Why can't we go with you?" Cal asked him with a head tilt.
Anakin paused for a moment, "Because.. Obi-Wan will need both of you to help him guard the prisoner as he pilots the ship duh." He rolled his eyes at the pair.
Both Padawans glanced at each other with knowing looks, before turning their gazes back to us with an obedient nod, "Okay, we'll see you back at the Temple." They both headed to the ship Obi-Wan was on as they lowered their faces close to each other and began whispering.
Anakin grabbed ahold of my wrist to pull me onto the ship and he raised the ramp up quickly, "Face the wall for a second Artoo," He addressed his droid who immediately turned and stared at the wall. Anakin rushed to me with a smile as he cupped my face and crashed his lips to mine, "Six days," He spoke in between kisses and he pressed my back up against a wall, "Thats too fucking long to be without you." He lowered his hands to my hips and tightened his hold on me.
I chuckled as I brought my hands up and wrapped them around his neck once I pulled away for air, "Well maybe if you weren't obsessing so much about hunting down Dooku, we wouldn't have had to be separated for so long."
"I'm sorry Princess," He lowered his forehead to press in agaisnt mine, "But now I have him as a prisoner and I can get all the information I want out of him without leaving Coruscant," Good, I also have a few questions of my own for him.. "Now," He gripped my hips tighter, "Let's go to the back so I can show you just how much I missed my girl."
Cal's POV
Master Kenobi raised our ship up and I kept my eyes fixated on the other ship that has yet to take off, "Do you think they're making out?" I asked Ahsoka in a whisper so Kenobi wouldn't hear us.
She huffed as she rolled her eyes, "Please, they're probably doing more than that."
I covered my ears quickly, "Ahsoka gross!"
She let out a chuckle, "I'm kidding, we don't even know if what we think is true or not."
"It has to be," I spoke confidently as I leaned against the metal wall, "They make it so obvious with their constant flirty stares and I swear he finds an excuse to touch her every single time they're in a room, no matter how subtle."
Ahsoka took a deep inhale through her nostrils, "I smell a fun little game in the air." She smiled at me mischievously.
I chuckled as I raised my brow and crossed my arms, "What do you have in mind?"
She tapped her finger on her chin as she thought for a moment, "First one to catch them making out wins twenty credits?"
"Make it thirty." I held my hand out to her with a grin.
She eagerly accepted it, "You're on."
(Had a lot of fun with this one, let me know your thoughts💞)
