Not as planned

The next morning, Anakin and Miraj wake up to the rising sun. However, as they already have to be at the auction in a few hours, they decide not to go for another round.

After getting ready and dressed, they go together to a large dining room. Anakin offers his arm to Miraj, who accepts with thanks.

At the breakfast, not only the two of them are present, but also Prime Minister Molec, as well as a few other important slavers from all over the Empire. Anakin spots Jos sitting on the opposite side, who has sold him the **** Jodea.

Ahsoka is among the slaves who are taking care of breakfast. She looks a little worn out. I hope she didn't have to go through too much, Anakin thinks when he sees Ahsoka. She looks at him briefly with a blank look that Anakin doesn't really know how to interpret.

After breakfast, the guests talk a bit and Jos comes over to Anakin. "I see you are getting on quite well with the Queen. I'm glad to hear that. Are you going to the auction later?" asks Jos. "Yes. The Queen has even invited me to the royal box" says Anakin.

Jos' eyes grow wide. "Wow, I'm glad to hear that. Unfortunately, I won't be able to see you there. I'm heading out after the breakfast to oversee a transport of important slaves. I hope to see you again in the near future, however." Anakin and Jos shake hands. Jos goes to Miraj and says goodbye. Then he walks out.

The rest of breakfast is rather dull. Anakin talks to a couple of slavers. He doesn't manage to talk to Ahsoka, however, as she has her chores to do.

So he, Miraj and the other slavers go to the auction together. Anakin notices out of the corner of his eye some envy and also hatred from the traders as he goes into a speeder with Miraj and sits next to her.

They arrive at the VIP entrance. Anakin, Miraj and a few slaves walk to the royal box. Even before Anakin reaches the open sales area, which has been set up in an arena, he hears the crowd of onlookers, slavers and citizens of Zygerria shouting and screaming.

Anakin, Miraj and Ahsoka walk into the royal box. Miraj is cheered by her subjects. She waves to the crowd and sits on a small throne. Anakin sits on her right and Ahsoka stands on Miraj's left.

Then the speaker comes out. He greets the crowd and gets them excited about the coming auction. The very first thing they do is introduce the Togruta who are going to rescue Anakin and the others.

Where are Obi Wan and Rex? Anakin asks himself as an older Togruta is led into the middle of the arena. He looks around unobtrusively, but doesn't recognise them anywhere.

As everyone focuses on the Togruta, Anakin only overhears that a total of 50,000 Togruta of the system are being sold. He sees Rex, who has disguised himself as a guard and is getting ready to attack. He makes eyecontact with Anakin and nods at him.

Anakin then turns to Miraj. "May I ask the question where you are housing 50,000 slaves? That is a large number." Just as Miraj is about to answer, a door opens behind them and Prime Minister Molec enters. He walks over to Miraj and whispers something in her ear.

Ahsoka uses the time to go to Anakin's side. Then Miraj rises and takes a few steps forward to make a speech. "Before we begin the auction, I would like to welcome a very special guest. Obi Wan Kenobi, Jedi Knight!" she says aloud.

Anakin looks around the arena a little surprised and unsure. Just then a door opens and Obi Wan is led in by two guards. The crowd boo Obi Wan. Miraj hands Anakin an electric whip. "Show the Jedi his place," Miraj says. Anakin, who has to think about what he is doing for a moment, walks down to the arena with the whip. Ahsoka looks after her Master for a moment and then turns to the holoscreens.

In the arena, Ankain goes to Obi Wan, who is kneeling on a small platform. He looks up at Anakin. "Looks like I'll have to save you again, old man," Anakin says. "Prove to me that you are a man" Miraj says from above as everyone looks on at Anakin and Obi Wan.

Anakin looks up at Rex. Rex nods at him again and puts his hand on the blaster. R2, who is with Ahsoka, also beeps as if he has understood Anakin's silent command.

Anakin ignites the electric whip, salutes R2 and attacks one of the guards. Obi Wan quickly stands up and pushes the other guard off the pedestal. In time R2 shoots out the lightsabers of the two Jedi, who catch them both and get ready to fight.

"Guards overpower them" Miraj says. An exchange of gunfire begins. Rex, who is among the spectators, also starts shooting at guards.

Ahsoka also gets her lightsaber from R2 and takes out the guards in the box. However, when they try to capture the queen, she activates a button linked to Ahsoka's **** collar. This begins to shock her, causing her to let go of the lightsaber and fall ****.

Anakin and the others fare little better. Rex is pushed down into the arena and remains on the ground. The guards come at Obi Wan and Anakin with electric whips. Due to the large numbers, neither manages to stay on their feet.

After only a few minutes they are all on the ground. The last thing Anakin sees before he loses consciousness is Miraj grinning at him from the box and licking her lips.

The End?

(Authors Note: Thank you for reading this short story. The first part is over and the next story will contain the second part. Also, there will be more emphasis on sex scenes in the second part than here. Actually, this was planned as just one story, but I kept getting new ideas, so I'm splitting it up. In the second part you can look forward to more scenes with Miraj, but also with Ahsoka and Jodea :-)
