Capítulo 18: Naboo
My bad for the very late post, it hopefully shouldn't happen again. Just lost some motivation but I'm back to writing normally!
And just FYI, don't forget to check certain paragraph comments if I'm describing an image of sort, because most of time I will provide an image for visualization! For example, how Silas's armor is in chapter 1, or the ship's image below...
---------------------------------
The next day had arrived, and deep in the cosmos of the galaxy, a space shuttle could be seen flying through it at a moderate pace.
It was a T-6 shuttle, meant specifically for transportation as it was shaped in a vertical semi-circle.
Anakin and Silas could be seen in the front pilot seats as they were heading to Naboo.
"I'm surprised you didn't complain while we were flying." Anakin snidely remarked, glancing toward Silas's figure beside him, who seemed to be laying back, reclined in his metallic chair.
"What's there to complain about?" Silas was back in his usual armor without his helmet as he had his arms crossed and eyes closed, relaxing in a sleeping manner.
Anakin just smirked, "We're here."
In front of them was the planet of Naboo in the distance, it looked fairly similar to earth, with an abundance of blue and green.
Today was the day Anakin and Padme were secretly getting married, officially starting their relationship together, and Silas was just there for the show.
Silas calmly peeked an eye open, before slowly getting up with a stretch.
His gaze then landed on Anakin's figure who seemed to be unconsciously fidgeting while flying down into the planet's atmosphere.
"Someone's nervous." He chuckled.
Anakin had an anxious smile, "I'm just worried maybe she'll back out, or maybe we'll get found out, or-"
Silas raised a hand with his ever confident smile, "That's a lot of maybes, just trust her Anakin, you need to learn that if she loves you like you say, then she won't back out... And as for someone finding out, just leave that to me. I'll be sure to check everyone, and observe any suspicious behavior."
Anakin's eyes slightly widen before smiling, "Are you my official therapist or something? Cuz you sure sound like it."
The ship slightly shuddered as they were already flying thousands of feet above the grassy ground of Naboo.
"You definitely need one." Silas quietly retorted.
"What was that?"
"Nothing." He casually replied.
Silas finally caught sight of Naboo's palace far in the distance as they approached it slowly.
Until a sudden yawn from behind, made Silas glance back as he saw Padme's figure appear from the small corridor.
She was wearing a simple brown cloak as she approached their seats.
"Well you two seem to be energetic." Padme remarked with a smile.
Silas thought back on how in order for him and Anakin to leave with Padme alone, they took on the position as her bodyguards for an excuse, which is why they were all together, heading to her home for the secret wedding.
Usually there would be much guards, but since they left so abruptly, and upon Anakin and Padme's insistence, they were allowed a compromise because she would have two exceptionally powerful force users with her.
Anakin's expression brightened as he gazed back toward Padme while flying, "How'd you sleep?"
She raised a pointed brow, "Well if a certain someone flew more smoother, then it would have been perfect."
He sheepishly smiled, "Sorry about that."
Padme helplessly shook her head as she took a seat behind the pilot seat, before glancing toward Silas.
"What do you think of Naboo, General?"
"Seems like a nice place." Silas simply replied without turning back.
Padme curiously glanced at the back of his blonde hair, seemingly observing him.
'Supposedly clones are all supposed to look alike, but he doesn't. I also wonder how him and Anakin have gotten so close in such a short time...'
She thought Silas to be strange, from what she's seen and heard from the battle of Geonosis, he was called nice, dangerous, crazy, caring, etc.
He was called a multitude of things that seem to not correlate, but she just shook her head as she didn't care much, because it seemed he was having a good influence on Anakin regardless.
She had already noticed Anakin's slight change in demeanor which seemed more calm, the cause seeming to be some sort of secret training from Silas.
But during the time they flew here, she got to know him better as a person, and promptly became acquainted.
Breaking out of her thoughts, the ship then slowly lowered altitude as they seemed to be landing in front of the main castle which was on a steep cliff's edge with waterfalls.
Silas then turned his chair around as he put his golden helmet back on, "Time to go."

[Obi-Wan POV]
In the executive building at Coruscant, Obi-Wan and Windu could be seen standing in the center of the circular training room that Anakin and Silas previously used yesterday.
Shards of glass everywhere, as the large outside windows were broken, and dents in the wall still being fixed by cleaning droids.
Dried bloodstains could be seen all over the ground.
Obi-Wan couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh, "What type of training were General Raven and Anakin doing to cause such damage?"
Windu calmly looked around as he remarked, "It's seems they were fighting to the death, rather then training."
Obi-Wan silently agreed as he crouched down and picked up a shard of glass with blood on it, "To think they would cause such damage and not even report it."
"I asked around, and witnesses state the two left the training room completely fine and seemed amicable." Windu explained.
Obi-Wan then stood back up with a defeated smile, "Not too mention they abruptly left under the pretense that they were going to guard Senator Amidala on her way back."
Windu just turned around and headed for the exit, "Clearly attempting to not take responsibility, we can have a talk with them later."
Obi-Wan followed after him as he muttered, "I can expect this from Anakin, but to think General Raven is following his antics."

[Anakin POV]
It had already been a few hours since Anakin and the others had arrived at Naboo, and after guiding Silas around, they went their separate ways.
Anakin and Padme were currently alone in her luxurious bedroom, both were sitting on the couch beside each other.
"To think we're getting married in only a few hours." Padme remarked with a small smile.
Anakin hid his nervousness as he smirked, "I'll be sure to make you the happiest women alive."
Padme leaned into his shoulder as she replied, "I'm sure you will."
She then curiously looked up at him as she said, "I'm surprised you and General Raven have gotten so close, but are you sure we can trust him with this secret?"
Anakin chuckled as he glanced down at her, "Is someone jealous?"
Padme pouted as she frowned, "I'm serious."
He just sighed and silently hummed in thought, "Well I did just meet him, and I can't be 100% sure that he won't tell anyone... But I feel like I can trust him, let's just call it my intuition, or gut feeling."
Padme raised a brow, "Your trusting him based off your 'gut feeling'?"
Anakin lightly laughed, "I guess when I say it that way it sounds unreliable, but trust me, Silas Raven is someone I've put my trust into, and all I can do is hope he won't betray it."
Padme leaned closer, "Since when did you become so patient?"
He put an arm around her shoulder as he responded, "I've always been this patient, I think your the one I would call impatient."
"Oh shut up-"
But before Padme could finish speaking, Anakin leaned in for a kiss as their lips intertwined, causing Padme to widen her eyes in surprise, before reciprocating as they made out on the bed.
Their bodies pressed against each other as Anakin abruptly pushed Padme onto her back atop the couch.
Anakin leaned down for more, but she just giggled as she raised a finger against his lips, "Our wedding is in a few hours, we can have more fun after, but not now."
He frowned, but reluctantly helped her back up as he stood up, "Don't forget those words."
She had an amused smile as she watched Anakin hesitantly exit the room in order to get ready for the wedding.

[Silas POV]
Silas was sitting on top of the palace's roof at the ledge as his gaze bore into the bright sun in the sky.
His golden helmet covered his expression as he thought, 'This type of life is actually kinda relaxing...'
But he knew this type of feeling was short, eventually he was going to want to fight, simply because he knew he enjoyed it, it gave him a sense of purpose.
'Either way, I don't think we're being deployed for another month or two. It's probably gonna take the Separatists some times to fully organize themselves and the same goes for us, our ships and weapons are still being created.'
Beep!
Beep!
His commlink started to beep, indicating it was time for Anakin to get ready for the upcoming wedding during the sunset later, and he would help as he seemed to be the best man.
'This should be fun.'
