"Droideka!" You called as you heard the distinct clash of rolling metal against the scratched floor coming from a corridor, maybe two corridors over, regardless it would only be seconds until they joined the fight against you and Anakin. "To your right!" Anakin raised his lightsaber to his side and shot the relentless blaster fire back at the now scuttling droids, their stout shield absorbed the damage and caused little harm to come to them. You stood in front of him, shielding him from the B1 battle droids that cluttered the corridors in front of you. "We need to retreat, re-establish our position. Here we don't stand a chance. It'll only be moments before the droids completely overwhelm us."

"No, if we're going to retreat, we might as well just hand ourselves in now." He pressed forwards towards the pair of Droideka, waited for their rattling guns to overheat and charged towards them, slashing through their shields with one vile swipe. He clutched his saber tightly and raked through their chassis until nothing stood but two piles of junk metal. "See." He grinned menacingly as his chest ebbed and flowed deeply.

"Don't be reckless Anakin!" You begged as Anakin hugged the wall of the connecting corridor. He raised his hand and against your will pushed you behind cover. "What in the name of the force are you doing!"

"Fifteen." He grinned.

"What... what are you talking about." He dashed out from cover, held his blade diagonally across his chest and darted straight into the crowd of separatist droids." You peered out and watched him take great, impervious joy in slicing through them.

"I said, there was only fifteen of them. Nothing to be scared of really." His blade receded into the handle as he proudly stood among the sparking, smoking pile of corpses. "Now, where are we off to now then?" His hand scurried to ignite the blade as the doors to the cockpit in front of you quickly opened. A trio of droid soldiers released an unyielding volley of thermal detonators. "Well, clearly they don't care about their ship!" He chuckled as he dove onto the small pile of explosives, knowing that if they put a hole in the ship there would be no chance of survival.

"Anakin!" A deep rumble filled the corridor, shaking dust from the catwalk above and sending Anakin's body shooting into the air but leaving only a small dent in the floor.

"Oh, I wouldn't worry." He threw his lightsaber in a deep arc, cutting the foes cleanly in half before returning to him. "You really thought I was dead? I think I'll have to have words with Master Yoda about you, do you even know what the force is?" He smirked.
