JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER MISSION
.　 . • ☆ . ° .• °:. *₊ ° . ☆

Alina kept her fighter close to the star destroyer, keeping in formation with the other three as they dove right into the middle of the battle, twisting and turning to avoid being hit by the crossfire. R2 beeped "Lock onto him R2" Anakin ordered "General Grievous's ship is directly ahead. The one crawling with vulture droids"

Alina huffed "Great, a nice easy mission, we should have no problems whatsoever," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Exactly, just like every other mission" Sylvie said, matching the padawan's sarcasm. "Oddball do you copy?" Obi-Wan asked. "Copy Red Leader" Oddball said. "Mark my position, form your squad up behind me" The Jedi Master ordered. A swarm of vulture droids flew up to intercept the four jedi and the clone squadron. "This is where the fun begins" Alina didn't need to see her brother to know he was smirking as he said those words.

"Let them pass between us" Obi-Wan instructed. The fighters flew in between the ranks of the droids, doing their best to avoid their fire. Alina winced as one clone fighter exploded. "They're all over me" A second clone pilot said "Get them off my-" his voice cut off "I'm going to go help them out" Anakin said, both Skywalkers were about to turn their fighters around but they were stopped by Sylvie "No, I want to help them too but we have a mission as do they. They are doing theirs and we must do ours" 

Anakin obeyed. Alina didn't, she refused to let a clone of her squadron die. She turned her fighter around, despite both Sylvie and Obi-Wan's protests and began firing at the vulture droid. A well aimed hit caused it to explode. Satisfied, Alina moved back into position with her Master. Just as she did, four missiles raced towards the fighters leaving a blue trail behind them. "Missiles, pull up" Anakin warned. The fighters tuned to avoid them. "They overshot us" Obi-Wan said. "They're coming around" Sylvie warned.

The four Jedi split up, each having one missile after them. Alina swerved sharply to avoid being hit and used wreckage from a separatist ship as cover. The missile crashed into the scrap metal and exploded on contact. She smirked. "I'm hit! Anakin? Alina? Sylvie?" Obi-Wan said. "I see them, buzz droids" Anakin said. Alina flew in the direction of her brother and master, spotting the buzz droids that covered her master's ship completely.

"They're shutting down all the controls" Obi-Wan said. "Move to the right so I can get a better shot at them" Anakin said "No, move to the left, I'll have a better shot from here than Anakin does" Alina said, "The mission, get to the command ship, get the chancellor" Obi-Wan ordered. "Not without you" Sylvie said firmly. Both Skywalkers siblings started blasting at the droids. they succeeded but one shot knocked out a piece of the fighter's wing. "Anakin!" Alina scolded "That shot was clearly you!" Anakin protested.

"Both of you stop bickering and hold your fire!" Sylvie ordered. "She's right, you're not helping" Obi-Wan agreed. "Sorry Master" Alina said. "I can't see a thing, my cockpit's fogging up" The Jedi Master said. Anakin moved his fighter closer to Obi-Wan's, using his wing to knock off the buzz droids. "Ani! You're only making it worse" Alina said. "I'm not! I just need a clear shot" Anakin insisted "Move your fighter to the right" he said to Obi-Wan.

"Hold on Anakin, you'll get us both killed" The Jedi Master protested. "Get out of here! There's nothing more any of you can do" he said. "Not without you" Sylvie repeated, Anakin brushed his fighter wing against Obi-Wan's again, this time he effectively knocked off all the buzz droids except one. The remaining Buzz Droid climbed onto his fighter and was about to go for R2 but the Astromech electrocuted it first, disabling it. "Yeah you got him!" Anakin cheered "That was great R2" Alina praised "Good job R2" Sylvie said "Great, R2" Obi-Wan said.

"The general's ship is dead ahead" Anakin said. R2 let out a loud scream like whistle. "Well have you noticed the shields are still up?!" Obi-Wan asked. "Sorry Master" Alina fired at the outer controls for the shields, turning them off. A blast door began to close over the opening. "Oh I have a bad feeling about this" Obi-Wan said. The four fighters were able to slip in and half land and half crash into the hanger of the ship just as the door shut.

Obi-Wan leaped out of his seat, slicing three battle droids. Alina leaped out of her fighter before it had fully landed, launching herself at the battle droids near her. The four jedi made their way closer to each other and R2, cutting up battle droids as they went. "R2, locate the chancellor" Obi-Wan ordered. The battle droids let out groans as they fell.

R2 plugged into a computer port and showed them a hologram of the ship. "The chancellor's signal is coming from that spire" Sylvie said, pointing to a spire that was on top of the ship. "I sense Count Dooku and Yoran" Anakin stated. "I sense a trap" Obi-Wan said. "Next move?" Alina asked "Spring the trap" The Jedi Master responded.

"R2 go back, I need you to stay with the ship" Anakin ordered. "Here, take this and wait for orders" Obi-Wan said, tossing a com to the astromech. R2 beeped as he caught the device. As the four Jedi waited for the elevator they heard a clanking noise from behind them. "Destroyers" Anakin said as the copper coloured droids rolled towards the Jedi, shields surrounding them when they stopped. The droids fired at the Jedi as the elevator doors opened. The Jedi deflected their shots as they entered the elevator.

The doors closed on the destroyer droids preventing them from firing at the Jedi further but a metallic voice was heard from behind them. "Drop your weapons. I said drop em" The four Jedi turned to see a small group of battle droids behind them, their blasters pointed on them. The Jedi exchanged looks and quickly cut down all the battle droids before any blaster shots could be fired. "Stupid clankers" Alina said just before the elevator came to a sudden halt.

"Did you press the stop button?" Obi-Wan asked. "Why would any of us press the stop button?" Sylvie asked. "No, did you?" Anakin asked. "Why would he ask if he pressed the stop button?" Alina asked. "There's more than one way out of here" The older Skywalker said, using his lightsaber to cut a hole in the roof. "We don't want to get out. We want to get moving" Obi-Wan pointed out. "R2, activate elevator 31174" Sylvie said, taking out her com. "Come in, R2"

"R2, do you copy?" Obi-Wan asked. "R2, activate elevator number 31174" he instructed. There was no response from R2 as Anakin finished cutting a hole in the roof before leaping up onto the roof of the elevator closely followed by Alina. "Always on the move" Obi-Wan muttered. Neither sibling paid attention to the Jedi masters who were still trying to contact the astromech. Suddenly the elevator dropped from under their feet.

Anakin leaped up to catch a small ledge while Alina caught hold of one of the rods, clinging on as tightly as she could. The door in front of the ledge that Anakin was holding on to opened up, two battle droids stood, each had a blaster pointed to either Skywalker sibling. "Hands up Jedi" the battle droid ordered. Alina gave the battle droids who spoke an 'Are you serious?' look. The other droid glanced at his companion as if thinking the same thing but didn't say anything.

The four glanced down as the elevator came rushing up again. Both Skywalker siblings jumped off and landed on the elevator roof as it rushed past the battle droids, crushing them. They struggled against the rushing wind before leaping back in from the hole which they exited from. Obi-Wan and Sylvie whirled around, igniting their lightsabers. "Oh it's you" Obi-Wan said, lowering his lightsaber. "Yep. It's us. Still alive and in one piece" Alina said.

"Surprisingly" Sylvie said. "What was that all about?" Anakin asked. "R2 has been-" Obi-Wan was cut off by the older Skywalker "No loose wire jokes" he said. "Did I say anything?" Obi-Wan asked. "He's trying" Anakin said. "I didn't say anything" The Jedi Master said. The door slid open before their bickering could continue. The four Jedi walked into a large room, they could see the battle raging outside through the transparisteel. At the end of the room there was a grey chair, turned to face the battle.

As the Jedi approached the chair rotated, turning towards them. There the Chancellor sat, hands bound to the armrests of the chair. "Chancellor" Obi-Wan said, giving him a quick bow that was echoed by Sylvie. The Skywalkers didn't bother with such courtesy. Anakin because the chancellor was a friend to him. Alina because she now held only disdain for the higher officials of the republic after the incident "Are you alright?" Anakin asked. The chancellor didn't respond, he looked past them "Count Dooku"
