#the second part

It was the worst!!!! And when they got to the temple, not only do they run into Dooku and Ventress but they all have to work together to solve a force-dammed logic puzzle of all things just to open the damn door! But not the front door, No! It opens a trap door, where it drops them into huge circular cages that split them up into groups, and they travel down a set of tracks.

By the time they stopped Anakin felt like he needed to throw up. They're sore, they're tired, and all very done. It felt as if this whole place just wanted everyone to go away.

Once Anakin can see straight he decides that this place is on the same level of distaste as Tatooine. He lifts his head and looks around. While the cage is large he notices that His padawan and Rex are missing and so is Ventress. He, Obi-wan, Cody, and Dooku are all together. Great.

He knows that his padawan is fine but at the same time he is worried. The last time they were in a sith temple, Everything had gone wrong. And it seems no matter what they did on this mission everything was just going to go wrong again. There was no way that this was just a coincidence. Unfortunately, they had all agreed that working together would be the best just to get out of the temple. And if they ran into the object in question they would fight it out like normal. Just everyday Sith versus Jedi stuff. At this point, Anakin would welcome it with open arms!

So they walked around looking for Ahsoka, Rex, and Ventress. While doing this they found a huge swimming pool, an archive 10x bigger than the one in the temple, a room full of crafting supplies, a home theater, a huge kitchen with a refrigerator twice the room's size, it was as if someone was actually living here. A closet the size of Padme's apartment on Coruscant, sixteen floors of toys, and a 100,000-step staircase.

That had taken two hours to climb.

"When we find whatever it is that we need, can we just, like flip a coin or something? Please? I don't think I'll have any energy to fight Master."

"This place does seem to be made to tire people out sir."

"Kenobi, I will do that coin toss. To hell with swinging my saber around."

"Yes. We'll fight over it another day. Coin toss." They're resting at the top of the stairs when they finally meet up with Ashoka, Rex, and Ventress. They're standing in front of a door working on another puzzle to open it. It's not a logic puzzle this time, it's a riddle. Above the door, written in curling basic.

I have cities, but no houses. I have mountains, but no trees. I have water, but no fish. What am I?

According to Ashoka, they've been here for half an hour trying to guess the answer. They pass around water and some ration bars while they brainstorm between them. It takes another 15 minutes before they get the answer. It was a map. Honestly, it shouldn't have taken them so long to get that as it did but hey. The temple was way more complicated than most and their brains are tired after everything. When the door opens and they can see the Holocron Ventress and Dooku look at them and they look back, trying to decide if they really want to fight but the temple chose for them.

the floor underneath their feet rises and slams them into the room activating the guards. It takes them a few seconds to activate their sabers and jump into the fray. Even though they were tired, the room had practically forced them to fight for their lives.
