EXT. CENTRAL TOWER - LANDING PAD - DAY
Zull and Vizsla stand together on a small landing pad, his personal shuttle standing before them. Vizsla -- in full armour minus his helmet, which sits tucked under his arm -- turns to his apprentice.
PRE VIZSLA: Just remember what I said. Should something of importance arise, just handle it as I would handle it.
ZULL: (nods) Yes. I understand, Pre.
PRE VIZSLA: (puts his hand on her shoulder with a smile on his face) Good.
With that, Vizsla brings out his Mandalorian helmet. Slipping it down over his head, he turns to walk toward his awaiting shuttle. Just as he reaches the ramp, Zull takes one step after him.
ZULL: Pre!
The Mandalorian Knight turns to face her.
ZULL: (raises an arm) The Force be with you.
PRE VIZSLA: (raises his arm in return) And with you.
Turning, Vizsla heads up the ramp and disappears inside the shuttle. The ramp then closes and the shuttle rises vertically up into the air. Zull watches the craft as it then takes off with a blast of hypersonic speed, disappearing from sight within moments.
INT. BUNKER 13/LEVEL 9/ANAKIN & NASHIRA'S QUARTERS/BEDROOM - DAY
As Nashira makes the bed, Anakin stands in the doorway, watching her. Sensing his presence, she stops adjusting the sheets and turns to face him.
NASHIRA: (cocks an eyebrow) Yes?
ANAKIN: (steps into the room) Nashira ...
NASHIRA: (grins) Yes?
ANAKIN: (cont'd) Nashira, don't go to your classes today.
NASHIRA: (frowns) What? Why?
ANAKIN: I've got a feeling ... a feeling that today's the day.
NASHIRA: (steps toward him) What?
ANAKIN: (puts his hand on her shoulder) I don't want you to get hurt. Go down to the transmitter room, stay with the others there, stay there until I come to get you, okay?
NASHIRA: Okay, Nik, okay. (beat) Why aren't you coming with me?
ANAKIN: My place is with the others, up here.
NASHIRA: But, Anakin ...
ANAKIN: (places his fingers over her lips) No, no more. (beat) I have to do this.
NASHIRA: (crying) I don't understand you.
ANAKIN: (smiles) Yes you do.
Ending it there, Anakin turns and starts to leave.
NASHIRA: Wait!
Lunging out, she grabs him by his wrist. Yanking him towards her, she pulls him against her and then, with fierce desperation, hugs him tight.
NASHIRA: Stay safe.
ANAKIN: I will.
Pulling out of her embrace, he playful runs his finger across the tip of her nose. Turning around, he then leaves the room.
INT. BUNKER 13/LEVEL 34/OBI-WAN, SIRI, & PRIMEDAY'S QUARTERS/KITCHEN - DAY
Siri and Ben stand in the kitchen, their eyes fixed on the two lightsabers which sit upon the counter plugged into the power outlet in the wall. As the red indicator lights on the two weapons change to green, Obi-Wan reaches forward and unplugs them, handing Siri's to her.
SIRI: (runs her hand along the length of the hilt) Fully charged.
OBI-WAN: You want to test them out?
SIRI: Yes, let's.
Stepping out of the small kitchen into the main room, the two Jedi face each other as they bring forth their weapons. As one they engage their weapons, and with a pair of sharp snap-hisses, blades of azure and fuchsia spring into existence. The coloured plasma blades, blazing and buzzing at full power, vibrate as the two Jedi move them gently through the air.
OBI-WAN: Doesn't appear they suffered any damage.
SIRI: Good. It'd be a hassle trying to find certain replacement parts in this place.
Disengaging their blades, the two Jedi then proceed to secure them on their person in hidden pockets sewn into their tan coveralls.
