Chapter 82: Chapter 82
The silver yacht landed in a remote spot in the middle of the Tatooine desert. From afar, 6th Sister was watching them while cloaked.
It was difficult to tell her exact race due to the Inquisitor uniform and mask covering her body but her petite form at least excluded the likes of Wookie or Trandoshan from being options.
"6th Sister, Naboo Queen Mission Log: the queen and Jedi have landed on Tatooine without any damage to their persons. Slight damage appears to have affected the ships power core.
I believe that they do not have the correct type of credits to purchase the supplies that are needed. The Jedi and queen have both grown up sheltered. I will continue to observe from a distance. 6th Sister out."
The woman got into a pod speeder before activating its cloaking field. She followed close behind the Jedi and handmaid without them even being aware of her.
Out of all the Inquisitors, she had the best stealth skills using Force Stealth in conjunction with her cloaking devices. She had even stalked each member of the Jedi Council for 5 months to steal a single personal item from each of them.
As the group made their way to Mos Espa, 6th Sister had killed off a group of Tusken Raiders that were trying to assassinate them.
By the time she caught up to them, they had already found out that their credits were no good and were following a slave boy to his room.
6th Sister looked around and saw that a sandstorm was coming.
"6th Sister to 2nd Sister or Grand Inquisitor. Please come in."
"This is 2nd Sister. You are clear to speak," Caina responded
"Sandstorm incoming. Target is entering a private home with the Jedi and a slave but I am not sure if I should make contact to properly assist the queen in case of danger.
It appears the Jedi have yet to realize her true identity so they may abandon her if there is trouble," 6th Sister reported all of her worries and concerns to Caina.
"I see. I understand. Remove your uniform and go in under the pretense of an Acolyte," Caina thought about it and agreed. They had heard that the Sith were involved so if one attacked, it was better for 6th Sister to be able to act immediately
"Understood. I will report at the next opportunity. 6th Sister out," the line was cut from inside the pod.
6th Sister stripped off her uniform and was left in her underwear but she opened the glove box and pulled out her civilian clothes. These consisted of a leather crop top and leather pants along with a blue belt that matched her hair. The last pieces of her outfit was a small, blue scouter that covered her right eye and a Yautja wrist gauntlet. She attached her lightsaber and credit pouch to her belt and quickly got out of the speeder before racing to the door with her head down. The storm was quickly picking up and she would be in danger if she stated out any longer.
Shmi heard knocking on the door and rushed to answer it. She opened it and saw a young woman wearing a very sexy outfit that did not belong on Tatooine was standing at her door. When she saw the lightsaber on her belt, she just assumed she was another Jedi, though fashionably different.
"Please come in, Master Jedi," Shmi invited her in without thinking much of it. But when Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon heard her address another Jedi, both of them ignited their lightsabers and got ready for a battle.
So when Shmi and the 6th Sister entered the room, they saw two Jedi looking at them warily while Padme stood in the distance with Anakin.
"Who are you? You are certainly no Jedi in such clothes," Obi-Wan questioned her
"First, I would never call myself a Jedi. The Dark Side of the Force is more useful to me," 6th Sister teased. "And 2nd, my name is Sice. I am a member of the Acolytes and have been sent to protect Padme Naberrie and Queen Amidala."
The two Jedi looked confused while Padme looked shocked. Sice took that time to give her a wink, hinting that she knew her true identity.
"Why would you be guarding a handmaiden?" Qui-Gon asked
"Because her mother has assisted an Acolyte on mission before. This is just repaying a debt. As for the queen, Naboo is the Yautja's ally. While we are not as close as we were before, we will not let their queen be assassinated when we can assist."
Padme smiled when she heard that they still considered Naboo an ally. They had even sent one of their Force Users to act as a bodyguard for her.
"Could the Yautja not just attack the Trade Federation?" Obi-Wan was puzzled. If they truly wanted to help, they could have taken more direct means.
"We respect the choices of our allies," Sice explained. "Their communications were up but they never asked for help from us, instead going to the Senate.
If they wanted us to help, they would have asked. We won't force our wills on them, though.
We also don't know the full story and legitimacy of the blockade. If we just went in guns ablazing, we could start a bigger incident."
"Then I shall thank you on my queen's behalf," Padme stopped Obi-Wan from asking another question. It was as if they were interrogating her when she came to help
"Sure. Please also let her know we have 5 frigates and 30 small cruisers ready to launch a strike if that is needed with more only a short jump away."
"That is most wonderful. My queen does not wish to bring war to our people but she has also said that she is prepared for a fight for the sake of them as well."
Sice nodded while looking at the boy next to Padme. Her scanner had several numbers and characters written in Yautja appear on it before it settled on a final number?
'It's over 9,000!' Sice thought in shock. '22,574 Midochlorians per cell to be exact.'
As she sat down on the couch next to Padme, she began typing away in her gauntlet to report what had happened. She wanted to be sure to report the exact figure later.
'We may have to secure this child. He might be the chosen one that the Jedi and Sith have been talking about so much in their legends.'
Sice decided to continue observing Anakin to see if he was worth bringing in or if he was a target that needed to be terminated
