1 - Met Your Match
*Anakin's POV*
I sighed as I was trying to get the buzz droids off of my Master's ship before those little parasites completely shut off all controls. Not only was it difficult but my Master's panicky behaviour towards me didn't really help.
"Hold on Anakin! You're gonna get us both killed." My Master, Obi-Wan, seethed.
I roll my eyes as I flew behind him, trying to come up with other ways to safely remove the droids.
"You say that all the time and yet, what do you know? We're both still alive." I snarked, regarding Obi-Wan's comment.
Okay look, my Master is a very much "by the book" type of Master. I may have a more aggressive approach than he does but to say the least, no one's gotten hurt...badly.
"Barely. I wouldn't call shooting at your Master exactly safe thinking." Obi-Wan replies.
Completely ignoring his request for me to back off, I glide up beside him, carefully moving my ship directly onto his from the left to squish the buzz droids with the wing of my ship. To my success I got all but one, that little bastard crawled over onto my ship.
R2-D2 let out a rather annoyed beep, like the buzz droid was an inconvenience to him.
"Get him R2." I urge.
The buzz droid started to crawl closer to him getting ready to attack my little friend. But if there's one thing I know about R2, is that he isn't going to take this crap from anyone, especially by a pathetic little buzz droid.
R2-D2 flicked out one of his little arms that also expels electricity, aiming it at the droid. I have never doubted R2 in any situation from the moment I met him, but I can't help but always protect him as well.
I watch on to make sure he doesn't rip him up like he did to Obi-Wan's R4 droid.
"R2, hit the buzz droid centre eye!" Obi-Wan urges.
R2 fixates on the centre of the droid, where the big bright red eye is, he emits his electric shock right into the centre and doesn't let up until the droid collapses.
Happy with the outcome of his victory, R2 let's out a happy tone. I chuckle.
"Yeah you got him." I grin.
With the threat of buzz droid being gone, Obi-Wan and I were focused on getting onto General Grievous' ship.
"Um Anakin..." Obi-Wan sighs.
"Yes Master?" I respond.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" He asks with a hint of panic in his voice.
I furrowed my brows at his question to realise the shields on the hanger of General Grievous' ship were still active.
"I was getting there." I say defensively.
"Well you aren't getting there quite quick enough my young Padawan." Obi-Wan scoffed.
"Oh Master, I am soooooo sorry that I saved you from those buzz droids instead of taking down the shields. How rude of me." I say sarcastically.
"Yeah yeah, enough of the attitude Anakin and take those shields down." He rolls his eyes.
I move into position and take down the shields, just in time for us to land in the hanger, well crash land anyway. Landing is landing.
As our ships touched down, there was already a hoard of R0-GR droids in the hanger which to no surprise, started shooting at us. Obi-Wan and I activated our Lightsabers to deal with them. As the fight progressed, more and more of them started to appear.
"Why are there so many of them? They are probably one of the most useless droids ever made and possibly the most annoying." I sigh as I continue to defend myself as well as slicing through the droids.
"As useless as they are, they do seem to be multiplying rather quickly." Obi-Wan comments.
All of a sudden, out of no where, some blasts started consuming the droids from the opposite direction in the hanger. I couldn't quite see where exactly or who was firing at the droids, but I definitely felt a presence.
"What the..." I exclaimed as I swiftly moved to the right to dodge a blast from our mystery hero.
Whatever or who it was, was saving us standing here all day with these droids. When the last droid dropped, I retracted my Lightsaber, as did Obi-Wan. I looked around to see if I could find the mystery person who was helping us.
Still couldn't see anyone but I definitely know someone's there. I can feel the presence and it felt strong.
*Daniella's POV*
Oh shit... I thought to myself as I watched my Master's other Padawan, moving away from one of my blasts. I'm clearly not aiming for him but the look on his face said otherwise.
"Maybe don't stand there then" I scoffed quietly to myself as I watched the Padawan look around to see where the blast came from with an offended look on his face.
When Obi-Wan asked me to come along on this mission, it was purely for back up. But I couldn't understand why he hadn't introduced me to his other Padawan seeing as we will be working closely together moving forward.
Maybe he thought it would be better to officially introduce us when we're not going to potentially get killed rescuing the Chancellor from General Grievous, because really...what's the point of meeting someone if you're probably not going to be alive long enough to get to know them?
I watched on as my Master and his Padawan retract their Lightsabers now that the droids were dealt with, getting ready to locate the whereabouts of the Chancellor with R2's help. They disappear into an elevator once they've located him. Prompting me to come out of hiding and jump down into the hanger so I can head over to R2.
"Hey R2." I smile as the blue and silver droid turned to me and beeped a happy tone acknowledging my presence.
"I missed you too." I say bending down to his level, "I know you located the Chancellor, but do you possibly know the location of Grievous?"
R2 let out a low disapproved tone.
"Look I know Master Kenobi told me to stay put in case he needed me, but General Grievous has gotten away enough times already. The monster needs to be stopped. So please show me where he is.?" I asked in a low whisper, to not attract attention.
R2 finally let's up and shows me a hologram of the ships layout. The control room caught my eye, seeing as he was most likely in there, that's if he wasn't aware of the presence of us Jedi yet.
"Thanks R2!" I smile as I pat the top of his little metal head.
R2 gives me that same disapproving tone whilst shaking his head.
"Everything's gonna be fine." I sigh as I wave him off and walk towards a corridor that led to many many hallways.
As I walked out of the corridor and through a door, I was met with some Destroyers.
I sigh and roll my eyes as I stand still in front of them as they point their blasters directly at me.
"This is fine." I mumble to myself as a couple of R0-GR droids walk up to me and grab me by the arms, dragging me to an elevator.
*Anakin's POV*
We had the Chancellor, luckily. Much to my surprise, Count Dooku was waiting for us in the chamber. This was the man who cut my arm off during the Clone War just over a year ago.
My blood was boiling at the sight of him after what he did to me. And the way he hurt my Master during the fight as well. My anger got the best of me which resulted in me killing him. I didn't want to, but Chancellor Palpatine urged me, making a point that he was far too dangerous to be kept alive.
The ship started to take a nose dive after being hit. Obi-Wan conveniently awakes from his violence induced slumber as we were hanging by a thread in the elevator shaft. The sound of a speeding elevator heading directly for us caught my attention.
"Uhhhh R2? Shut down the elevator!" I urge with panic.
But it was too late for that, we need to jump. We managed to get out of the shaft safely.
"Alright, we need to find our way to the escape pods and get off this ship." My Master directs.
I nod in agreement, as much as I would like to go find General Grievous myself, we were only sent here to rescue Chancellor Palpatine.
"R2? Come to our location." I speak into the comm.
To speed things along, the three of us started running down the hallway trying to make our hasty escape. Much to our dismay, we got trapped in some Ray Shields.
"Of course." Master Kenobi snarked.
"It'll be fine, R2 will be here any second to release the shields." I shrug with confidence.
And on queue, R2 came flying into the hallway. I smile as I laid eyes on my little friend. But that smile quickly disappears when Destroyers and more droids follow him in, pointing their weapons at us.
"Oh yeah, totally fine." Obi-Wan rolls his eyes.

We were being lead into the ships control room where Grievous was waiting for us. I couldn't help but stare the freak down as I entered the room.
"Ahh yes, we have been waiting for you. You Jedi must be having a bad day, all three of you were easily caught." General Grievous snarked followed by a cough.
I furrow my brows at him, did he say three of us?
"I caught this one earlier." Grievous breathed as he stepped aside, letting through a very agitated but very attractive young woman.
I stare at the mystery woman before us as she stares at Grievous with anger.
Her attention flicks over to Obi-Wan, her dark brown eyes meeting his bright blue ones.
"Sorry Master." She sighs.
My eyes widen. Master?
I snap my head in Obi-Wan's direction giving him a very perplexed yet annoyed expression. To which he responds by shaking his head at me.

*Author's POV*
After a lengthy battle of trying to capture General Grievous, the three Jedi were unsuccessful. Grievous had once again escaped.
The group made their way back to Coruscant in Grievous' falling apart ship. Anakin was able to land the ship, crashing it of course. They shortly made their way to the Jedi temple where the Council was awaiting their arrival as well as Chancellor Palpatine's safe return.
Upon arrival, the group hopped of the shuttle and slowly started walking through the Temple as the Council walked ahead with Chancellor Palpatine.
Anakin stood in front of Daniella and Obi-Wan, stopping them in their tracks. His blue eyes locking onto Obi-Wan's eyes with a very irritated expression.
"Now that the mission is over, care to explain this?" Anakin huffs as he nudged his head towards Daniella.
Daniella screwed up her nose in disgust at Anakin's attitude.
"This? This...has a name you know." She scoffs as she crosses her arms across her chest.
"Yes she does, her name is Daniella and she is my Padawan." Obi-Wan confirms while holding Anakin's gaze.
Anakin now crossed his arms across his chest.
"Huh, I thought I was your Padawan, Master." Anakin responds lifting an eyebrow.
Obi-Wan sighs as he takes a step closer to Anakin's annoyed stance.
"Correct you are. The Council has assigned Daniella to me as well as my second Padawan. We are at war Anakin, we need all the help we can get right now to try and win this thing." Obi-Wan explains.
Anakin squints his eyes at his Master.
"So take the rest of the day to get to know each other. You two will be spending a hell of a lot of time together from now on." Obi-Wan confesses.
Anakin shifted his intense gaze over to Daniella. Keeping those stubborn arms crossed.
"Daniella, this is Anakin. He is my first Padawan, you will be spending alot of time with him. So get acquainted with him today." Obi-Wan says softly to her.
Daniella uncrosses her arms and nods as Obi-Wan walks away. She shifts her eyes upon Anakin, who was standing there staring at her.
"I'd say it's nice to meet you but you did address me by calling me 'This' earlier. Daniella stands up straight whilst looking into Anakin's eyes.
Anakin smirked as he stood up straight and uncrossed his arms.
"I apologise, but I had no clue about you. If you were on the mission with us, how come you didn't make yourself known to us? Especially after you almost took me out with your blaster in the hanger?" Anakin asks raising his eyebrows.
Daniella was now the one smirking at his accusation.
"I'm sorry, but it also isn't my fault you walked into the shot." She breathes sarcastically.
"What? I didn't." He defends.
Daniella suppresses a laugh.
"I wasn't trying to shoot you, Anakin." She says raising one eyebrow.
"Could've fooled me." Anakin mumbled.
"Look, today was a really long and difficult day for us both. We're exhausted and only just meeting each other for the first time now after returning. I know this is an unconventional way of doing things, with a Master having two apprentices instead of one, but this war is changing things around here." Daniella explains.
Anakin stares intently at Daniella as she explains todays events that led to them meeting this way instead of alot sooner.
"When Master Kenobi told me he had another Padawan besides me, I didn't mind it. I thought maybe we could get along, learn from each other and excel our skills as Jedi as a team. But Master also alerted me of that ego of yours." She sighs.
Anakin scoffs at her remark.
"I don't have an ego." He says amusingly.
Daniella laughs as she runs her fingers through her dark brown hair.
"Oh you don't? So it's not you telling others that you're the sacred "Chosen One" who's going to bring balance to the force and is already alot stronger than most?" She asks tilting her head to the side while squinting her eyes at him.
His eyes widen at the audacity.
"Well I am the Chosen One, there's a reason for that, because I am stronger than most. That's not an egotistical thing I'm saying it's fact. I plan to see this through with bringing balance. That is my sole purpose, so don't get in the way." Anakin snarks as he walks past her, bumping his shoulder into hers as he walks away from her.
Daniella gasps at the attitude and the shoulder bump from her new partner. She turns to watch him saunter off.
"What an asshole. I hope one day someone deflates that big ass head of his." She mumbles to herself.
"Unfortunately, that's not happening anytime soon." A sweet voice is heard from behind her.
Daniella turns around to see a friend of hers standing before her with a smile. Senator Padmé Amidala.
"You've known him for years, tell me why he's so stuck up." Daniella chuckles as she greets her friend with a warm embrace.
Padmé laughs as she embraces Daniella.
"I'm still trying to figure that out. You'll be spending every day with him now that you're training together, so when you figure it out, Let me know." Padmé sighs rolling her eyes.
This shall be fun, Daniella thought to herself as she imagined the painful training ahead of her.
