An unknown palace on an unknown planet. Two figures sneak through the currently deserted Great Hall

Galen: You sure he's here?

Nickshepard: Positive. Ah! Over there!

Nickshepard points to a person frozen in carbonate hanging on the far wall. He and Galen quickly enter the defrosting command and Lycan13 falls out.

Lycan13: (Mushu impression) I LIVE! (Deadpool impression) Hi-ya! Ya! Dead! Dead! Bring it! Oh it's you guys. What took you so long?

Galen: We had to figure out which palace Jabba was keeping you at.

Lycan13: Jabba! Well that explains it! This palace isn't owned by Jabba!

Nickshepard: It's not?

Lycan13: No! It's owned by-!

Unknown: Ha ha ha! Ho ho ho!

Admiral Ackbar: IT'S A TRAP!

Lycan13 looks to the far side of the room as the curtain lifts revealing the one that kept him prisoner.

Lycan13: Pizza The Hutt.

Pizza The Hutt: Exactly! I had Vinne kidnap you and bring you here as punishment for not putting me in your fanfic and, what are you doing?

Lycan13 had produced a bag from nowhere and was digging through it.

Lyan13: I know it's in here somewhere. (Pulls out a rubber chicken) Nope. (Pulls out a Sabine Wren toy) Nope. (Pulls out AvP) Been looking for this, nope. (Jumps into the bag as many objects begin to fly out.) Ah ha! (Jumps out with Kylo Ren's cross guard saber) Pizza anyone?

Pizza The Hutt: Oh crap.

Nickshepard: What about the next chapter of your fanfic?

Lycan13: Oh yeah. (Pulls out a phone) Hey Liara! Uh hu. Frozen by Pizza The Hutt. Hey can you send 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars Unleashed' chapter 32 to my Omni-tool? Thanks I'll be by to pick up my laptop later, bye. (Hangs up) Now, where was I? (Engages in pizza carnage)

Pizza The Hutt: Nooooooooooooo!

Lycan13: Mwhahahahahahahahahhahahaha! (Slashes wildly while pizza flies everywhere)

Galen: I guess I'll post the next chapter. I start out wearing my Hero Armor. R&R everyone!

Chapter XXXII

Slaves of the Republic

Krisos

A month later…

A black Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor landed in the hanger of the Resolute. "Everyone?" Galen demanded to know. "The Separatists abducted everyone on Krisos!? How the hell do you abducted an entire planet!?"

"It's true Galen." Ahsoka said timidly. She was clearly shaken due to the fact that over a thousand Togrutas had disappeared in under ten days.

"Do we know what happened?" Galen asked with a more aggressive tone. Seeing Ahsoka in such pain and shock only pissed him off.

"We encountered a Zygerrian," Obi-Wan began before Galen cut him off.

"What?!" Galen growled. "You mean to tell me the Separatists helped enslave an entire planet!?"

"Yes. I'm afraid so." Obi-Wan said.

"Do we know where they are?" Galen asked with a more calm voice.

"No." Anakin said darkly. "That's why we're going to Zygerria."

"Well, I'm in." Galen said with a confident and contempt voice.

Later on Darts D'Nar's ship…

Galen adjusted his bounty hunter armor. Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Rex where all onboard the ship as well; they were in Zygerrian armor with Zygerrian blasters on their hips. Galen opted instead for twin vibroswords along with twin DL-44 heavy blaster pistols. Ahsoka was with them; she wore a black cloak that covered everything except her baby blue eyes.

"Let's just hope the information our spies gave us about the Queen is accurate." Anakin said. "Galen, Ahsoka and I will keep her occupied while you locate the missing people of Kiros."

"And how do you plan on keeping the Queen occupied?" Obi-Wan asked.

"Why with my magnetic charm of course." Anakin said as the four men put on their helmets.

"Oh yes, of course." Obi-Wan said sarcastically.

"R2, can you hold onto these for us?" Galen asked as the four Jedi gave the droid their lightsabers.

"Remind me why I'm the one playing the part of the slave?" Ahsoka asked with an annoyed tone, she was shifting around something below the cloak. Whatever it was, it didn't seem comfortable for her.

"I tried it once," Anakin said. "I wasn't very good at it. Besides, the role of Master comes easily to me."

"Really? Well this time try to be convincing at it." She said in a biting tone.

Galen couldn't help but laugh at his friend's bickering.

Once they entered they the marketplace, they discover it was full of aliens of all kinds buying and selling their merchandise, slaves included.

"How can a civilization this advanced still practice slavery?" Ahsoka asked.

"It makes them wealthy and powerful at the expense of others." Galen said with a voice of experience. During his studies he saw how some of the ancient Republic once had slavery, and the reason it was implemented in the first place. Although it is outlawed in the Republic these days, it won't stop systems outside the Republic to do it anyway.

"Exactly." Anakin agreed. "Before the Hutts bought my mother, she was sold in a market just like this." He said coldly as they passed a Zygerrian showing off a scared twi'lek slave to a nemodian.

A Zygerrian leading twi'lek slaves passed in front of them and one of the male twi'leks collapsed. The Zygerrian approached him. "Get up! You worthless skug!"

"Master! The bonds… they are too heavy!" the weak twi'lek pleaded.

"Tell it to my whip!" the Zygerrian drew a light-whip but his arm was caught by Ahsoka.

"You don't want to do that!" Ahsoka said with a cold voice.

"You dare touch me!?" he shouted at her. He pulled his arm out of her grasp and prepared to whip Ahsoka instead. Anakin got between them before it escalated.

"Excuse my slave, friend." Anakin said as Galen grabbed her shoulder roughly. "She is freshly caught."

"Hmm, what have we here?" the Zygerrian asked as two guards approached. "You wear Zygerrian armor, but you are not one of us. Who are you?"

"I've come for an audience with the Queen." Anakin said with a confident voice.

"Then you have an invitation? We can't just let anyone in to speak with her majesty." Said one of the guards.

"No invitation but I do bring news. News the Queen will be eager to hear." Anakin said with a very enthusiastic tone.

"I doubt that. You're nothing more than a brigand." The other guard scoffed with an arrogant tone.

"I wouldn't say that, especially when the Queen learns you prevented her from hearing the news about Bruno Denturri." Anakin spoke with a very dark tone and gave them a devious smile, this in turn made them feel uneasy.

The Zygerrian began to walk towards him while the guards readied they're blasters and Galen drew his vibroswords.

Before anyone could fire a shot a monitor-drone flew in front of the Zygerrian and said, "Halt! Cease hostilities! This man is to be escorted to the palace by order of the Queen."

The Zygerrian scowled but led them to the palace.

As they were walking Ahsoka whispered to Galen. "Did you have to grab me so roughly?"

"It had to be convincing." He whispered back.

"If I bruise from this, you won't get a single kiss till there gone." She threatened playfully.

They walked into the throne room. Two guards stood at the bottom steps of the throne with a green twi'lek on the second landing and upon the throne sat Miraj Scintel herself with three birds from Krios perched upon her throne, shoulder, and hand.

"Make certain all preparations are complete for this evening."

The Zygerrian approached with Anakin, Ahsoka, Galen and R2 in tow.

Miraj looked to her twi'lek slave. "And fetch refreshments."

The green twi'lek bowed and left the room.

"My Queen," the other Zygerrian said as he and Ahsoka bowed. "I present Lars Quell."

"Hmm. So, you're the man who claims to be acquainted to Bruno Denturri?" The queen asked with an unamused look on her face.

"Yes, your highness." Anakin said and removed his helmet. "However, when I spoke with him, he failed to describe your beauty."

Miraj chuckled. "Really? And did Bruno speak of my intense hatred of him?" she asked as the Zygerrian who led them there pointed his blaster at them. "Or did that escape his memory as well?"

"He needed not speak of it, your majesty." Anakin said as he directed the blaster away with the tip of his finger. "In fact, Bruno Denturri will not be speaking… ever again."

"What do you mean?" Miraj asked with a bit of shock in her tone.

"Bruno Denturri is dead by my hand. Here is a slave from his palace, compensation for my efforts." He said gesturing to Ahsoka before Galen ripped of her cloak, revealing an attractive blue shirt and skirt with gold trim and a tiara like object on her forehead.

"Get your hands off me!" she shouted venomously.

"Your impress me Lars Quell." Miraj said as she descended from her throne. The Zygerrian and two red twi'lek slave girls dropped to their knees. Galen pushed Ahsoka's shoulder prompting her to do the same. "She's quite a prize, and to have defeated Bruno Denturri in combat? Well, you must be quite the warrior."

After they rose to their feet Miraji began inspecting Ahsoka. "Hmm. Mm-hmm. The slave is certainly of fine stock. Bruno always knew how to choose a beautiful female." She reached for Ahsoka's face and Ahsoka jerked away.

"Don't you dare touch me!" Ahsoka said with clear venom. She and the Queen had a quick stare down.

"Though she will have to be processed. Her demeanor leaves much to be desired. What is your price for her?" Miraj asked with a rather interested look on her face.

"With respect, how can I price the beauty of this slave when I look upon the magnificence of your highness? Whose beauty would make the brightest star seem dull by comparison?"

"Lars Quell you flatter me." Miraj chuckled.

"No, your majesty. However," Anakin began to whisperer in her ear and she giggled.

"Lars, stop it. Stop it! You are a bold one aren't you?" Miraj sounded very interested to his suggestion, and rather looked forward to it.

"My reputation precedes me, then." Anakin said with a smile and a small bow of his head.

"I never knew he had that much charisma." Galen thought, he's seen Anakin talk his way out of things before, but not with a woman, especially not with flattery.

"Is your bodyguard for sale?" Miraj asked with a rather interested tone. She looked at Galan head to toe and she seemed to like what she saw.

"I am sorry he is not a slave. I pay him for his services, but you a have a good eye. Ren here has some of the best Echani training and even I cannot match his skill with a blade." Anakin said with a convincing speech.

"Perhaps we can find a way to put a price on your slave? Come, walk with me." Miraj said as she gestured Anakin to follow.

The green twi'lek brought Anakin and Miraj drinks as they conversed.

"Slavery is the natural order of things." Miraj said as she took her cup. "The weak deserve nothing more than to kneel before the strong, bond to our service. I will need men with your… talents to spread our ways across the galaxy.

The green twi'lek suddenly pulled a knife on Miraj but Anakin grabbed her arm and took the knife from her.

"Let me go!" she demanded and wrenched her arm form Anakin's grasp, falling backwards.

The Zygerrian guard aimed his blaster at her.

"You dare raise a hand against your master?" Miraj asked rhetorically. "Clearly you require further processing."

"No! I won't go back there!" she cried as stepped onto the ledge.

Galen knew what she was planning going to do. He could see the look in her eye and the posture she was taking on top of the edge. He ran as fast as he could, without using force-dash, and grabbed her arm. He then pulled her down from the edge and bear hugged her.

"Let me go! Let me GO!" she shouted at him before he hit a pressure point on her neck knocking her out. She quickly collapsed in his arms, relaxing and falling unconscious. Galen picked her up, bridal style, and then looked to Anakin and Miraj.

"Quick thinking Ren." Anakin praised him.

"He saved a slave?" Miraj asked curiously.

"I hate allowing slaves to commit suicide. To me it's a waste. It has become a force of habit of his to prevent it if he can." Anakin said with a relaxed tone, acting like it's happened dozens of times.

"I see and I agree. Losing her would be such a waste. But she may be more trouble than she's worth. But you, Lars… you are proving quite resourceful."

"Perhaps a trade? I was planning on getting a cup bearer for my bodyguard anyway. After all his years of service he has earned a few more perks. The twi'lek for the togurta?" Anakin asked as he pointed to the girl in Galen's arms and Ahsoka.

"I accept your price for the slave girl." Miraj said with a mile.

"Ren, take your slave back to the ship and the report back here quickly." Anakin spoke to Galen.

Galen nodded his head as he replied, "Of course, Sir Quell."

"You are a man of many surprises." Miraj said. "It pleases me. I wish for you and your bodyguard to be my guests at the slave auction, and to sit by my side." She offered as she held out her hand. Anakin took her hand and they walked away.

The green twi'lek awoke when Galen reached the ship he and the others had arrived in.

Galen could fell the girl waking up in his arms, the moment she saw Galen she started squirming. "No! Let me go!" she began to panic.

"Easy." Galen said and began to radiate soothing feelings through the Force through his hands. Galen put her down gently as she started to calm down. "I am a Jedi I have accepted you so that I can free you when we reach Republic space."

"Really?" the girl asked with complete shock in her voice.

"Yes. I still have business to attend to here, so I must ask for you to wait for us here." Galen said as he stood up.

"Or course." She said with a more calm tone.

"Thank you umm, I'm sorry I didn't catch your name?" Galen asked.

"It is Jadea." She said with a smile.

"Then please wait here Jadea." Galen left the room and headed to the exit of the ship.

Galen whistled for a flying mount and headed toward the palace.

Anakin, Galen, and Ahsoka stood next to the Queen's throne in her private booth as the auction began "Your highness! Zygerrians! Guests from a thousand worlds! Our auction begins with slaves of unmatched quality and impossible quantity. I give you, togruta from the Kiros system."

Governor Roshti was ushered out to where everyone could see him.

The auctioneer continued, "This handsome sample represents a lot numbering no less then 50,000 beings."

Anakin and Galen noticed Rex among the crowd. He locked eyes with them and tapped his blaster. Anakin discreetly nodded.

"Note the compliance. Virtually untrained in combat, there will be no rebellion from these slaves."

"So," Anakin began, "Where do you keep 50,000 slaves like the people of Kiros?"

Suddenly another Zygerrian arrived. "Your majesty, I have urgent news." He began to whisper in her ear.

Galen sensed a disturbance come from her. And if Rex was here, where was Obi-Wan?

"Something bad is about to happen." Galen whispered discreetly.

Miraj waved the other Zygerrian off. "All will be revealed in time." She then stood and walked to the edge of the balcony. The crowd cheered at her appearance. "Before we begin the auction, I would welcome a most special guest, Obi-Wan Kenobi! Jedi Knight!"

The crowd jeered as he was led into the auction area. "My friends," She continued, "My good friends, do not fear the Jedi. They are no different from others we have forced into submission. For they have forsaken their ideals to serve a corrupt Senate. Every Jedi has become a slave to the Republic. The Jedi order is weak, and we will help break it." She grabbed a lightwhip and turned to Anakin. "Teach the Jedi his place."

Anakin took the lightwhip and smirked at Miraj. He made his way down to the arena and toward Obi-Wan as the crowd chanted, "Whip the Jedi! Whip the Jedi!"

"Looks like I have to rescue you again old man." Anakin whispered to his former master.

"I knew you'd have a backup plan." Obi-Wan said with a smirk.

"Prove to me you are a slaver." Miraj demanded. "Swing that whip, or die beside him."

"Well those are some lousy options." He muttered to himself.

He looked up towards Rex and Rex nodded. He then looked toward the Queen's booth where R2 beeped and Ahsoka and Galen nodded.

"You leave me no choice, highness." He bowed and activated the lightwhip. When he rose he gave R2 the signal. Anakin then attacked the Zygerrian next to him as R2 shot his and Obi-Wan's sabers in the air.

"Guards, subdue them!" Miraj shouted.

The guards shot at Anakin and Obi-Wan who deflected the blasts.

Ahsoka and Galen got their lightsabers next. Galen got his first and cut down the 3 Zygerrians in the booth with them.

"Ahsoka the Queen!" Anakin called.

Ahsoka pointed her lightsaber at Miraj's throat.

"Looks like your little slave empire is finished, again." Ahsoka boasted.

"Get that thing out of my face!" Miraj snarled. She pressed a button on the arm of her chair and Ahsoka's collar shocked her.

Suddenly the Queen found herself a foot above ground with Galen's hand slowly stopping the air form entering her throat. "You just made a BIG mistake."

Miraj gasped, she bearly had enough air in her to speak, "If you kill me… the same will happen… to your friends."

Galen looked into the arena and saw they were overwhelmed. He reluctantly dropped Miraj. Once she hit the ground she gasped for as much air as she could get.

Galen rushed to Ahsoka and tried to lift her up, but she was still unconscious due to the shock collar.

"It appears I have won." She said smugly as she was coughing her lungs out.

"The battle yes. But this war is from over." Galen said with a cold glare.

Later…

Ahsoka and Galen each hung in a cage off the side of a building. They were simply meditating, it was the only thing they could do to make the time go by faster.

A Zygerrian approached Ahsoka and looked down at her cage. "The Queen says once the other Jedi is tamed you will belong to me, little skug."

Ahsoka waved her hand and he nearly fell off the building.

"You better hope that doesn't happen." Ahsoka said with a smirk.

He pulled out a remote for her shock collar.

"Press that button and you die." Galen threatened. He didn't even open his eyes to look at them.

The Zygerrian didn't listen and shocked Ahsoka.

Galen simply tilted his head and they both heard a CRACK! Then thump!

Galen opened his eyes to see the disappointing look on Ahsoka's face, "What? I warned him." Galen said.

"Don't you think that was a little far?" Ahsoka asked.

"For you? No." Galen said with a confident smile. Galen seemed to have gotten an idea, "Hm… I wonder…"

"Galen?" Ahsoka asked with a curious look.

"Miraj was clearly enthralled with Anakin. She might offer our freedom in exchange for his loyalty. The question is… would he do it?"

"Doubtful, but not because he wants to leave us here. He still wants the mission to succeed. Besides, I doubt someone would willingly return to the life of a slave." Ahsoka said without a doubt.

"You're right." Galen said with a smile. Whatever you have planned next, Anakin, better do it now.

In Pizza The Hutt's palace,

There are pieces of pizza carnage everywhere.
