Chapter Four: The Citadel

Waking up in the clone barracks wasn't something I expected. Especially with Obi-Wan beside me. My head was throbbing in pain and I rubbed it trying to soothe my headache.

Trying to think back to last night, I couldn't recall the events that took place. It would come back to me in time but I wanted to remember now. 

"Rise and shine everybody!" I wince as Anakin comes into the barracks with a smile on his face. Obi-Wan stirs and sits up rubbing his eyes. 

"What time is it?" He asks before realising he wasn't in his quarters. "What the hell?" 

"Language Obi-Wan. There are children present." Anakin says in a scolding manner. Lloyd and Ahsoka give him a look but he ignores it.

"Anyone got painkillers?" Wolffe asks, falling from his bed and halfway onto me. Pushing him off, I stand up from the place on the floor. Glancing around, I realise half the clones were on the floor. We weren't even placed in beds properly.

"Here you go Master." Lloyd says passing me some pills and a glass of water. I nod at him and put the pills into my mouth before washing them down with the water. 

"What exactly happened last night?" I ask and my brother shrugs with a small smirk on his face. Throwing my water at him, I walk off to a place I could freshen up.

Kix was brushing his teeth when I walked into the bathroom. Opening the cold water tap, I throw some on my face to wake myself up. Looking back in the mirror, I jump.

"Holy shit, I look like I've gone through my fifth divorce." Kix lets out a laugh and Fives walks in and smirks at me. "Yeah get a good look Fives. These are the only pair of boobs you'll ever see in your damn life." Pushing him out the way, I pull my dress up to hide my breasts.

"Give me your speeder, Anakin. I'm going to my apartment to get ready." I say, crossing my arms over my chest. He laughs and passes me the keys to his speeder. Obi-Wan follows behind me and we both go our different ways when we get to our building. 

Once I was changed into robes and looked the Jedi part, I headed to the briefing room where Anakin and Obi-Wan were waiting as well as my Master. The Separatists have taken Jedi Master Piell because he holds vital information. Walking in, I greet everyone before standing beside my brother. My head was still aching but I needed to get over it.

"As you are aware, the citadel is their most isolated and impenetrable detention facility. No one has ever escaped." Master Plo explains.

"There's a first time for everything." Anakin and I say in unison. And Obi-Wan agreed.

"Their security has prevented our probes from obtaining recent reconnaissance, so we've been forced to construct a crude map based upon data from the archives." Master Plo says pulling up the map.

"So we're going in blind?" I say and Obi-Wan nods. 

"Beg your pardon General, but how do we know Master Piell is still alive?" Rex asks. He wasn't here physically but he was on call. Anakin nudges me and looks at me with a smirk and I frown. I had no idea what he meant.

"The Separatists won't dare kill Master Piell until they have what they need." Obi-Wan answers. Master Plo then explains to the clone captain what information we were trying to recover.

Once the briefing was over, the four of us were walking through the halls of the Temple. Obi-Wan was concerned about the outer security of the citadel and I shared his concern as well. It was advanced and no one has escaped from there before. 

"Master." Hearing Ahsoka's voice, I smile. "I'm sorry I'm late. I just heard about the briefing. We're going to rescue Master Piell right?"

"Yeah, we are." Lloyd says walking beside her with a smile on his face. Anakin hadn't told Ahsoka for a reason and Lloyd wasn't present because I told him to meditate to prepare himself for this mission.
