Trust 34 She was counting on Palpatine vanity to keep him talking. The man was brilliant but long-winded. She was hoping it would be his downfall today. "Dooku actually tried to convince me that Obi wan would turn" said Palpatine Isis shook her head "somehow I can't see that happening" said Isis "me either he was always, how do you say it too straitlaced" said Palpatine. "So Anakin was an alternative choice?" said Isis. "Actually yes but not to who you think" said Palpatine "to me?" she said in shock. "Yes my dear you've always been my first choice" said Palpatine "So all this was a game?" said Isis "yes and no, it was strategy, the ultimate revenge against the Jedi" said Sidious/Palpatine "some things must be earned" said Isis "yes indeed they should" said Palpatine he smiled at the young woman. "So what exactly would be my title should I agree to this?" said Isis. "Are you agreeing?" said Sidious "it would depends on what the offer is" said Isis "again a maybe I see, do you have more questions?" asked Palpatine he looked at the doorway on the far side of the room. It was obvious he wanted to go to his apprentices' aid. Isis couldn't let that happen Obi wan might well win but with Palpatine on Anakin's side he would definitely lose. "So the whole kidnapping was staged I'm assuming as well?" said Isis "but of course, the fight on the other hand that was pure chance" said Sidious."Do not fret he was weak you said so yourself" said Sidious "so was that to see if I would turn or one of the others?" said Isis "both actually, Dooku had bets on Obi wan, I of course had bets on Anakin and yourself" said Sidious "what about Asaj?' said Isis "she was useless that is why he wanted you, she was more of a hammer and you my dear were closer to a vibroscalpel" said Sidious "Thanks I think," said Isis "now if you do not mind I must go aid my apprentice" said Sidious. Isis moved closer she had shut off her blade as a sign of trust. Not that she trusted this viper. "Why not leave him after all if he's so good he should be able to handle one Jedi by himself" said Isis "is that an acceptance of my offer?' said Palpatine. Isis had moved very close to the man. "No sorry like to live with myself, unlike the baby killer you have working for you now" said Isis "ouch my dear so harsh I shall enjoy watching you two compete, but for now I must be going" said Palpatine "Sorry can't let you do that" said Isis he laughed at her. "Stand aside girl I have no time for games" said Palpatine "but I thought you liked games?" said Isis with a smile. Palpatine eyed her warily; something about this girl was beginning to unnerve him. "Worried about your apprentice?" said Isis. He glared at her "but that's right you've already lost a couple haven't you?" said Isis. Palpatine growled at her. She knew of no other word to describe the look on his face. Then he attacked her. Isis met his attack and parried it easily. He stepped up the attack. Isis was in it now. Sidious was good; she had no problem admitting it. "Wow for someone so old you really can move" she teased. "I'll show you old" he said and tried another tactic. She fought him to a stand still "enough!" he yelled "get out of my way girl or I will kill you" said Palpatine "if you were going to kill me you would have done it by now" said Isis "your right I would much rather you joined us" said Palpatine. She grimaced in disgust "I don't want to be the third wheel," said Isis Sidious smiled thinking he had her. "Then why would you want to stay with someone who lies to you?" said Sidious "his lies I know yours I'm not so sure of" said Isis "what is there to not be sure of, Anakin loves you and I can give you both everything you've ever dreamed of" said Sidious "and all we have to do is put the slave collars on ourselves, no thanks, Anakin may be dumb enough to sell his soul but I'm not" said Isis "what if you could have anything you want, money, power its all within your reach, all you have to do is say yes" said Palpatine He was inching forward towards the door any second now he was going to get past her. "Provided you can actually keep your word," said Isis. She had moved close enough to touch him. She rested a hand on his chest. Palpatine eyed her warily "and what would these dreams cost me?" said Isis she was now pretending to flirt with Palpatine. "More if you do not stop delaying me" said Palpatine. She was rubbing her hand on his chest and he was losing his concentration. She didn't even think about her intentions, instead she projected arousal. Trying to throw the old rat off of what she had planned. He swallowed nervously she was close enough he could kiss her if he was so inclined. "And just how would you know what I want when I don't even know it?" she said in a breathless whisper. Palpatine enclosed his arms around her; he was leaning towards her mouth. Their lips met for a brief second. Then all of a sudden his side was on fire. He looked down and a big red stain was spreading across his robes. He activated his saber and tried to cut her in two. "Treacherous voxyen" he hissed she dove sideways but she wasn't fast enough. He managed to score a hit on her side as well. Sidious lurched away from her and towards the tunnel. He was bleeding heavily and the resulting dizziness made him grab the wall for support. "So treacherous my dear, my days would be numbered with you as my apprentice, how very Sith like you are already" said Sidious. "I thought that was the idea," said Isis. He laughed and then winced when his stomach muscles tightened. "Yes, yes it was and speaking of which we must continue this conversation again later, without the knives next time of course" said Palpatine then he walked off towards where Anakin and Obi- wan were. Isis swore and started to go after him. When she almost collapsed she decided heading for the ship was best. She made it to the landing ramp before she collapsed on the ramp. C3PO came down the ramp. "Oh dear mistress Isis your hurt" said c3po "no shit captain obvious" said Isis "I do not hold the rank of captain as yet I do believe they will not allow" said c3po "can it 3po I was joking, is Obi wan back yet?" said Isis R2 tweedled a response in the negative. Isis whispered a healing spell under her breath and tried to climb the ramp. Her stomach muscles screamed in protest so she ended up crawling up the ramp instead. "How is Padme?" asked Isis "she seems to be in pain mistress" said 3po Isis walked into the ship and half crawled to Padme's side. Isis laid a hand on Padme's stomach. She felt the muscles beneath her hand tighten then slowly relax. "Ah shit she's in labor" said Isis "oh dear what do we do mistress we aren't programmed for medical needs." Said c3po "c3po shut up, how many minutes apart are the contractions?" said Isis. "R2 says they have been coming at regular intervals of approximately forty minutes apart," said c3po. Isis collapsed into the copilot's chair. "Good go continue to time them and let me know when they reach ten minutes apart," said Isis. c3po and r2 headed for the back of the ship. "Hurry please Obi wan or I won't be able to fly anyone anywhere," said Isis Obi wan had won the fight. Though it felt nothing like a victory. Anakin was lying on the side of the canyon. Lava flowed behind him but Obi wan eyes were riveted on the man below him. He had been forced to cut off Anakin's limbs when he attempted to force jump over him. Now the boy was screaming his hatred at him. The words were breaking Obi wan's heart. He knew logically he should just kill the boy but his heart stayed his hand. This boy had been like a son to him he just couldn't do it. "I'm sorry," said Obi wan softly. Tears were blinding his eyes as he stumbled away. He felt Sidious' approach and debated for one second to cheat him of his prize. Then he felt Isis's mental call for help and instead headed in her direction. He somehow managed to avoid the Sith lord as he headed for her side. He found her passed out in the copilot's chair. The damage to her robe mute testimony of what had transpired while he was gone. She had delayed Sidious for him. "Isis sweetheart wake up" he said gently. He fired up the engines and closed the doors. Isis opened her eyes and gazed into his. She didn't even ask what had happened, in truth she didn't really want to know. "Padme's in labor we need to get her to a med center" said Isis "we need to get you to one too" said Obi wan softly. "I know," she said softly "Did they really ask you to do that?" she asked softly "to do what?" said Obi wan "Pretend to care about me?" said Isis she did nothing to disguise the hurt in her voice "yes, but I've never had to pretend, I've always cared about you and I would have continued to do so despite the council's wishes" said Obi wan "they already cost you someone didn't they?" said Isis "Isis please I don't want to talk about this not right now" he said his voice broke slightly when he said it . Isis reached her hand out and touched his arm. Suddenly all his past behavior now made perfect sense to her at last. "I'm sorry we've been through enough today, for a lifetime I think" said Isis "it's going to be all right" she said. He looked away from her gaze. Nothing about today would ever feel all right to him. They landed on Organa's ship again and then the ship jumped into hyperspace.
