Trust 31 Isis threw her bag over her shoulder and renewed her concealment spell, mixing it with a hasty glamourie. Just to be safe she headed for the stairs. She walked calmly up the stairs as armed troopers passed her on the stairwell. None of them stopped to question her. She watched them disappear onto her floor. Then she shed all pretext and made haste up the stairs. She was practically running when she reached Padme's door. Padme was crying when Isis arrived. "What happened?" asked Isis. "Anakin was here, he said the Jedi have betrayed the republic and that they tried to murder Palpatine," said Padme "did you tell him what I said?" said Isis "no, he was ranting and telling me to get out of the city" said Padme "he, he even called you a traitor too" said Padme. Isis hugged Padme "Padme you know me I would never betray the republic" said Isis "I know but he's changed so much I don't even recognize him anymore, and his eyes" said Padme "what about his eyes?" said Isis "they were yellow" said Padme. Isis swore under her breath. She rarely did so unless the situation really merited it, this one did. "Mistress Padme, oh mistress Padme come quick the Jedi temple it is on fire!" said C 3po "come on lets heed his advice on one area, lets get the heck out of here" said Isis. Padme nodded she was too numbed to speak. Isis didn't blame her for being in shock everything she held dear was falling down around her. Isis peeked out the door so far no storm troopers. But the lift at the end of the hall was moving towards their floor. Isis murmured a spell and made it look like all the door numbers on the floor had rearranged. She pulled her head back inside."Padme do you trust me?" said Isis "of course you're a friend," said Padme "I'm going to make you look like someone else," said Isis. Isis openly spell casted until both of their appearances changed. They now looked like Mon Calamari women. Padme's pregnant gait was close to their normal walk anyways. Isis had to put a pebble in her shoe to walk that way. "Ok here goes," said Isis "just walk normal and don't look directly at them" said Isis. They walked out the door and down the hall. Round the corner she could hear blaster fire and the sound of plasma charges. They must be breaking down the door unlucky enough to bear Padme's door numbers. Which meant they didn't have very much time. Isis directed Padme into the stairwell and told her to climb. Troopers were stationed on the stairwell below them. Padme nervously climbed the stairs convinced that any minute the illusion would fail and troopers would shoot them. Isis got a few floors up and released the illusion on the floor below them. Allowing the floor numbers to return to normal. She would need the energy for later. "I can't go any farther," Padme gasped. They had climbed ten floors already. "Ok fine lets go in here, do you know anyone else in the building?" said Isis "none that would hide us" said Padme. Isis was thinking of a plan when a snippet of conversation popped into her head. "You'll be in the very same building as I am, perhaps we can arrange something more private later" said Palpatine's voice. Isis had discarded that conversation at the time because it had been Palpatine who said it. "Palpatine lives in this building doesn't he?" said Isis "yes but he's trying to arrest us" said Padme "so he won't think we would hide there now would he?" said Isis "your wicked but I like it, lets go" said Padme. They walked onto the floor they were on. Palpatine's suites were on the penthouse level. Fortunately the idiot had given her a code when he was attempting to flirt with her. They were heading for the lift doors on that floor. When allof a sudden a lightsber blade cut through the doors. Isis motioned Padme back and grabbed a concealed saber. She was just about to activate it and take off the person's head when she realized it was Obi Wans' head. "Obi wan!" said Isis in surprise. Obi wan looked at the two beings in front of them. They looked like Mon Calamari to him "do I know you?" said Obi "ah shit I forgot " said Isis. She waved her hand and the illusion faded from view. "Isis? Padme?" said Obi wan in shock "yep good disguise huh?" said Isis "I'll say, theirs troopers downstairs looking for you two" said Obi "I know they were going to arrest us at the senate building" said Padme "what exactly is going on?" said Obi wan "well Palpatine has declared himself emperor" said Isis "He's Sidious" said Padme "yes we know "said Obi wan "so what happened to arresting him?" said Isis "it didn't go as planned he has a new apprentice apparently" said Obi wan "yeah I know it may be Anakin" said Isis. Obi wan looked stricken for a second. "Anakin said the Jedi were traitors to the republic" said Padme "I know my own troopers tried to kill me a few hours ago on Utapu" said Obi wan he looked at Isis with a hurt expression that told her he was feeling more of them die all over the galaxy. "We need to get out of here" said Isis "yeah I know we were heading for Palpatine's' flat" said Padme "why?" said Obi wan "because they won't look for us there and he always has a spare ship on the landing platform" said Isis "ah I see, very clever" said Obi wan "why were you heading for the lift?" said Obi wan "cause I can't climb any more" said Padme "My lady if I have to I shall carry you" said Obi wan "is the lift still working?' said Isis "they shut them down so I climbed the shaft" said Obi wan "sounds like a plan" said Isis "oh I don't know" said Padme. She sounded alarmed. "We shall help you don't be afraid" said Isis. Obi wan climbed through the hole he had made and helped Padme onto a support strut. Isis followed her onto it and they started climbing. They stopped twice so Padme could catch her breath. Once cause she looked down and got scared. They were all grateful when they reached Palpatine's floor and Obi wan cut another hole in the door again. He helped Padme in the entry way first then Isis and finally himself. "Wow!" said Isis "well this certainly explains the budget inconsistencies" said Padme "yeah no shit who's his decorator Liberace?" said Isis "There is no time to critique his tastes now we need to leave" said Obi wan "or the lack there of" said Isis. They headed for the hanger. Keeping back until Obi wan checked out the ship. "I can't tell what kind of craft it is or how to control it," said Obi wan "let me try" said Isis she reached up and touched the side. She got an overwhelming sense of malice and an impression that it was Sith in origin. Open she said it seemed to laugh at her polite tone *Open damn you *she snarled in her mind. The front of it seemed to dissolve into some stairs "everyone inside I think I've got it figured out" said Isis "I'm not sure if we should even touch this thing" said Obi wan "right now we don't have a choice" said Isis. Padme climbed on board but she looked uneasy. She wondered if the children she was carrying were somehow bleeding force talents into their mother. Obi wan sat down next to Padme on the floor. There was nowhere else to sit. Close demanded Isis in the same mental tone. where to mistress it murmured into her mind. Its voice was a sibilant hiss that grated her nerves. Out of here start the engines she ordered again. She found she had to draw on her anger and irritation just to get it into the air. "Head for Organa's ship we need to get out of here quickly," said Obi wan. Poor Jedi doesn't like me hissed the craft. I'm sure the feeling is mutual chided Isis. then she thought the coordinates of bail's ship. A few minutes later the strange craft was touching down on bail's flight deck. You will stay ordered Isis mentally. Yes dark mistress it hissed back. Open the door she ordered. The hatch slid open and Padme and Obi wan scrambled for the door. Isis followed more slowly down to the flight deck. It wasn't until she was finally off the flight deck. That she was finally able to disconnect her thoughts from the strange ships' and return to her regular mindset. Yoda was on board fortunately the wookies had helped him escape. He wasn't pleased about their method of arrival but was grateful they both survived. "Sith definitely he is meditation sphere he does own," said Yoda "so that's what it is?" said Isis "yes, surprised I am, able to fly it you were" said Yoda "sorry been having a bad day guess it likes that a little too much" said Isis "On the dark side close you tread" said Yoda "maybe but I'm not fool enough to jump in like my former master," said Isis. She had managed to regain a measure of calm by now, which seemed to satisfy Yoda's inquiries. The old trog sighed "are there any reports about how many we have lost?" said Obi wan "most everyone in the field they were killed and the temple silent it is" said Yoda "then why is it pinging my emergency beacon" said Isis. She extended her wrist chrono for them both to see. "Activated the beacon as trap they must have" said Yoda "then we must shut it off" said Isis "Troopers are still at the temple" said Obi wan "then we sneak in," said Isis. She pulled her datapad from her bag and punched in something. "Here we can go in through here" said Isis "get these where did you?" said Yoda "from the library I thought the schematics might someday come in useful" said Isis "old those passageways are" said Yoda "yes I know it looked like the original plans for the temple" said Isis. Yoda was looking closely at the datapad "indeed are these original plans" said Yoda "yes but do the passageways still exist?" said Obi wan "blocked here they were, padawans sneak out they would" said Yoda "but we could cut through here couldn't we?" said Isis "yes into kitchen it does lead" said yoda "so it's a go then" said Isis "go you intend?" said Yoda "yes of course it is my plan" said Isis. Yoda sighed, "Padme stays here she must," said Yoda "I can put a sleeping spell on her" said Isis. Yoda sighed "then plan this is we go implement" said Yoda "what will you be doing master Yoda?" asked Isis "face Sith I must" said yoda "then may the force be with you" said Isis While Obi wan made ready to head for the temple. Isis put Padme under then joined him. "You don't have to do this you know," said Obi wan "yes I do and I already knew Chani is at the temple" said Isis. Obi wan looked sad and somewhat worried about her. Isis touched his arm in reassurance. "Lets get this done okay," said Isis. "I don't know if I can kill him, isis" said Obi wan she sighed "me either lets not cross that bridge till we reach it, ok" said isis. He closed his hand over hers and they took off. They landed a block from the temple and used the sewers to connect them to the secret passages. They cut a hole in one wall and climbed into the dusty walkway. It was cramped but empty. They made their way down it until it sloped quickly up. Obi wan cut a hole in the ceiling above them and force leapt up the hole. Isis followed when he called it clear. They made their way stealthily through the kitchen and into the library. There were bodies in the library and they were forced to step over them in some places. Isis almost burst into tears when she saw a kid clutching a book on Sith history in his dead hands. She knew that ironic image would stay with her forever. The security room was at the end of the hallway; unfortunately two troopers were in front of the door. Isis reached up into the walkway above and made a body fall over. One of the troopers went to check on it. That only left the other one. Isis whispered a spell under her breath while Obi wan waited tensely saber hilt in his hand. The guard saw an illusionary Jedi fleeing down the corridor and gave chase. Obi wan and Isis slipped into the room. Obi wan quickly disabled the beacon and transmitted a warning instead. Then they snuck back out of the room. They ended up going back on an alternate route because the guards were now searching the library area. They passed by the crèche doors on the other route. What they saw there made them both pause. There was a stack of bodies in front of the crèche doors. A lone woman was laying face down between them and the open crèche doors. Isis approached her slowly. A hair clip caught the light and Isis shook her head in denial. She kneeled beside the body and flipped it over "Isis we must go" hissed Obi wan. It was Chani and her eyes were wide with shock. What could have shocked her Isis wondered. Few things ever surprised Chani that she knew of. Isis looked her body over. There were no blaster wounds except a small one on her shoulder. What did the killing blow was unmistakably a light saber. Isis reached out and touched the blood on Chani's face. There was broken plascrete pieces in her hair. Someone had thrown a statue at her. Isis touched the blood. Then on instinct she drew a very ancient symbol in it on Chani's face. She whispered a set of very creepy sounding words and the air shimmered above the body. An image was within the shimmer. It was her last moments of life and her killer was most definitely Anakin Skywalker. "Halt Jedi you are under arrest" said a guard. Isis waved her hand in a dismissive gesture and the guard incinerated from the inside out. "Isis?" Obi wan said in shock "come on Obi wan lets get out of here this place is a charnel house" said Isis they made there way quickly back to the kitchen and out the passage. Isis closed the hole behind them. They went down the passage in silence. Neither of them wanted to speak about what had happened both of them were too disturbed by it.
