Anakin's POV
It was like all my training was thrown out of the window as I felt myself panic. She's dying, right now she's dying and I'm helpless, I didn't know what to do.

Obi-Wan was calling Coruscant, we needed extra help if we're going to get everything we need for an antidote.

"(y/n) come in." I spoke into my comlink.

No response.

"Rex?"

No response.

"Fives!" I shouted in frustration but again I got no response.

"Beep-Boop." I finally heard (y/n)'s droid over my com.

"BD-1! Are they still alive?"

"Beep-Beep." Yes but they're unconscious.

"Take care of them while we find an antidote BD. Keep me updated if their status changes and do your best to find a way to clear the room of the virus, check all the vents." He beeped to me In response letting me know he was on it and I turned to look around the room to see Obi-Wan wasn't back yet. Vindi was sitting in the same chair and he was smirking at me.

"There's something between you and her isn't there?" He looked amused but I gave him no response, "You sure know how to pick them. Has she told you about the time she burned down a little village on Endor killing hundreds of Ewoks? She was smiling as she watched them burn." He laughed, "Or about the time she assassinated the generals on Kashyyyk? Oh the wonderful stories. Dooku went on for hours, he was always so proud of he-"

I cut him off as I used the force to choke him. "Enough," I said through my teeth, "Tell me how to make the antidote because if she dies... I promise you, I will kill you and I'll make it slow." I spoke slow and menacingly. I haven't felt this angry since the day my mother died.

He was struggling for air and turning blue. I released him and he started coughing. "That is not.. the Jedi way." He said in between coughs.

I got closer to him and glared into his eyes, "Well then I guess," I started to choke him again but this time with my own hand and I slowly started to tighten my grip, "I'm not a Jedi today."

I heard the door open and I dropped my hand releasing my grip. Obi-Wan walked in and shifted his gaze between me and Vindi who looked terrified. "Is everything alright in here?" He raised a brow to me and I put my hands up innocently.

"Of course, Vindi here was just about to tell us the antidote," I patted him on the shoulder a little too rough, "Weren't you Vindi?"

"Y-Yes I'll tell you everything." His voice shaking.

My master blinked in surprise, "Uh Good, I'll go get something for you to write it down then," Obi-Wan turned back around to leave, " Oh and Anakin I don't want know whatever method you used, but whatever it was," he turned to glance at me over his shoulder, "Don't do it again." He left the door leaving me and Vindi alone again.

"Don't hurt me." He whimpered and I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up."

After Nuvo Vindi wrote everything down for the antidote, Obi-Wan called the Jedi Council and many of the ingredients were things that were already at our disposal. Master Plo was going to bring the stuff to us on Naboo along with a doctor who could successfully put the ingredients together. The only one on the list we didn't have was one that Obi-Wan and I were going to have to get on our own.

It was a rare gold crystal that was found in a cave on the planet Christophsis. We left Vindi back in his cell where he was guarded well. We got on our ship and made our way to the planet.

"BD how are they?" I spoke in my comlink as we entered hyperspace.

"Beep-Boop-Boop-Beep-Beep-Boop." They're breathing is slow, I found a switch in the back of the vents that cleared the virus from the room. Please hurry I don't want to lose her.

"Good job and I don't either buddy. I'll be there soon." I cut the connection and began pacing the cockpit. "How much longer?"

"Half an hour." I groaned at his answer, "Be patient, if Vindi was telling the truth then we still have two more hours before the virus takes them. We have time so come sit and relax."

"How can I relax when she's dying. How would you feel if that was Satine in there." I continued pacing growing more and more impatient.

"I suppose you're right, I would be doing the same as you. But we can't make this ship go faster so let's try and not lose our heads."

"It would have gone faster if you let me tweak the engines like I wanted to." I rolled my eyes and he shook his head.

"This is not a fighter Anakin, you can't just tweak the engines, you'll risk an explosion." He scolded and I sighed knowing he was right. I sat down In the chair and tried to relax letting out a heavy breathe.

"See Anakin don't you feel better already?" He smiled.

I glared at him, "No."

We finally landed on Christophsis and headed towards the location given to us by Master Plo. He said he heard we could find the crystals in this cave only and not in any others.

We reached the entrance of it and it didn't feel the slightest bit inviting. We couldn't see inside because of how dark it was and I could swear I heard a growl coming from inside.

"You got this right?" Obi-Wan nudged me toward the entrance and I narrowed my eyes at him. He chuckled, "I'm teasing let's go."

We walked into the cave and used our lightsabers for light. The cave was long and narrow, we checked all the walls for the crystal but found nothing but black coal and the occasional purple crystal which I picked one for (y/n) placing it in my pocket, she would think it was pretty.

After walking for a few minutes we reached a platform and I placed my weapon on top as I climbed up and Obi-Wan did the same. We could see light down ahead and we headed for it.

As we entered the light space the walls were covered in gold crystals. "This is it!" I exclaimed as I used my saber to cut along the wall and I put a few dozen crystals in a bag. You never know if we're gonna need this stuff again.

"Anakin." I heard Obi-Wan whisper and I turned around.

"What is it?"

"Shhhh." He pointed up and on the ceiling was a giant bat like creature wrapped in his wings and it was sleeping soundly.

"Shit." I whispered and I slowly backed away towards where we came in from and Obi-Wan did the same, our eyes never leaving the creature. As we were backing away my foot slipped on a rock but I caught myself before falling. The bag of crystals hit against the wall and we both flinched at the sound.

"Do you think it heard that?" I whispered not wanting to look up at the creature.

"Yes." He said in his normal voice. I looked up to the it's eyes were open and it was staring at us. "Well this isn't good."

It screeched loudly causing the cave to shake and hundreds of bats came out of holes that were on the ceiling.

"Run!" I shouted and we both rushed out of the cave. We used our weapons to slice through any bat that caught up to us and we could still hear the big one right behind us screeching  and it's fangs alone were as long as my forearm.

Obi-Wan tripped next to me and I heard him yell as bats started to circle around him, he was slicing through them but there were so many he couldn't get them all. The big one was catching up to us too, only a few feet away. I took a deep breathe and used the force to shove them all back. I grabbed Obi-Wans arm and pulled him up as we ran to the exit of the cave. Even after we were out we never stopped running until we got in our ship.

"Close the ramp!" I yelled and he did before the bats could get to us and the ramp closed without a second to spare. The giant bat was scratching at the ship until we took off back into space.

We both sat in our chairs and sighed in relief, "I will never be doing that again." My former master chuckled.

"I thought it was fun." I smirked and he shook his head.

"You're going to be the death of me."

We arrived back to Naboo and Master Plo along with the doctor and a medic cruiser were waiting there for us for the final ingredient. The doctor got to work and I took the time to check in with BD.

"Hey BD it'll only be a few moments now, how are they doing?"

"Beep-Beep." I can barely feel any heartbeats.

I felt myself begin to panic, "I'm on my way." I walked over to the doctor, "How much longer?"

"I'm done, here. Its enough for three." He handed me three small gold colored vials. I told the medic cruiser to meet me at the location and to be ready for them. I ran to the lab with Obi-Wan trailing behind me.

Once I reached the hatch I struggled to pull it open. I used my weapon to cut a hole through and Obi-Wan used the force to stop it from falling inside so it wouldn't accidentally land on anyone. I jumped through the hole and I gave my master two vials for the troops and he rushed to them.

I found (y/n) near the ladder with BD on her lap and he beeped sadly. "I'm here now BD it's gonna be okay." I pulled her head onto my lap and opened her mouth to pour the vial in. I waited for a response and I wasn't  getting one. "Come on baby, wake up please." I could feel my tears come down my cheeks.

"Their coming to over here." Obi-Wan announced and I could hear the groans of the clones as they were waking up. I looked back down to (y/n) and she still hadn't moved.

"Please don't leave me, I need you." I stroked her cheek and I could feel her start to wiggle. Her eyes opened slowly and BD-1 jumped with excitement.

"Anakin?" Her eyes met mine.

I smiled with relief, "You really gotta stop almost dying on me, you're gonna give me a heart attack."

She laughed weakly, "I like to live dangerously."

I chuckled and pressed my forehead to hers.

"General (y/l/n), is she okay?" I heard Rex ask Obi-Wan.

"She's fine, you all are fine." I answered and I heard him breathe a sigh of relief.

We got all three of them on medical gurneys to put them on the medic cruiser that was going to take them back to Coruscant. "You gonna be okay without me?" (y/n) asked me as I was walking next to her leading her to the medical cruiser ramp.

"I'll be right behind you, we just need to get the scientist on the ship. Sign a few papers and we'll be on our way." I assured her.

"I can come with you, I feel okay."

I shook my head, as much as I didn't want to part from her again she needed to be taken care of, "No you need to have some medical attention, your body took on a lot of stress and I'll feel better knowing your with doctors in case anything happens."

She nodded and I looked around to see if anybody was watching us, when I saw no one was I placed a small kiss on her forehead. "I love you, I'll see you in a few hours."

"I love you too." She smiled and a medic droid came down the ramp to grab the gurney and take her up.

BD-1 hopped on my shoulder and we watched as the ship lifted into the air and took off into space.

(y/n)'s POV
"No I don't need that I'm okay." I tried to stop a droid who was trying to give me a sedative.

"Required." Was all it said as it stabbed me in the arm with the needle and I winced.

I instantly started to feel sleepy as the ship jerked and I felt a familiar presence in the room, "Sister how lovely it is to see you." I could barely open my eyes but I knew who the voice belonged to, Ventress.

"Ventress there's two injured clones in other rooms." A voice I didn't recognized filled the room.

"Just leave them, they're not who we came for." My sister responded and I could feel the gurney I was on start to move.

"Ani." Was all I could say but the sedative was taking ahold of me.

"Sorry to say your boyfriend isn't here, I've been waiting a long time for you to finally leave that temple. You killed our father and I will avenge his death." She sneered and I could feel myself drifting into darkness. "I thought of killing you but that's too good for you, I know just where to put you."

Anakin's POV
"General Skywalker." I heard Rex on my com.

"Rex? You should be resting." I scolded.

"No time sir, someone has broken onto the ship and they've taken General (y/l/n). I tried to stop them sir but I couldn't do it alone. I'm sorry." He sounded sad, like he had failed me.

I clenched my fist as I felt my heart drop, " It's not your fault Rex, who took her?" I spoke calmly even though I was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"Ventress sir."

(a/n I'm on a bit of a writing spree, I have all these thoughts in my head and I can feel myself getting into my own story! Hope you enjoyed this chapter. The next one will come out tomorrow.🥰)
