C-3PO was being insanely annoying and it reminded you of youngling Anakin. He continued to ask if the name 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' meant anything to all three you. Finally Anakin said yes and he let go of the subject but followed you to the ship. When on the ship he stayed just outside and Anakin, Padme, R2, and you went into the cockpit. That's when Obi-Wans transmission came through.

"Anakin, my long range transmitter has been knocked out. Retransmit this message to Coruscant." You reached back and pressed a small, gray button. "I have tracked the bounty hunter Jango Fett to the droid foundries on Geonosis." You looked over at Padme who was taking in every word and Anakin who wasn't quite focused.

"The trade federation is to take a delivery of a droid army here. And it is clear that Viceroy Gunray is responsible for the assassination attempts on Senator Amidala." Padme quietly gasped at the explanation but it all made sense to you. They were the ones on Naboo all those years ago.

"The commerce guilds and the corporate alliance have both pledged their armies to Count Dooku and are forming a- Wait... Wait." Obi-Wan flung out his lightsaber and started to deflect bullets from a droidkea that came into the hologram. You looked at Anakin who had straightened up at the fighting. Padme had done the same but she was seated and just stared at you and Anakin.

After a few seconds Master Windu came into the hologram.

"Anakin, Y/n... We will deal with Count Dooku. The most important thing for you is to stay where you are. Protect the Senator at all costs, that is your first priority."

"Understood, Master."

"Yes, Master." You and Anakin replied at the same time, bowing your heads. Padme gazed at the two of you in disbelief.

"They'll never get there in time, they have to come halfway across the galaxy. Look." She turned around and pressed a button on the same panel you had. "Geonosis is less than a parsec away." She smiled as if we could just leave and go there.

"That is if he's still alive." Anakin responded as he walked away.

"Are you just going to sit here and let him die?" She looked between the two of you. She was obviously trying to guilt trip you but you would be lying if you said it wasn't working. "He's your friend. Your mentor!" He was way more than that to the both of us.

"He's like a father to me! But you heard Master Windu."

"He gave us strict orders to stay here, Padme. We can't just disobey him." You chimed in hoping to change her mind.

"He gave you strict orders to protect me, and I'm going to help Obi-Wan."

Damn she was good.

"If you want to protect me, you'll just have to come along." She smirked and started up the ship. Anakin smiled as well but rolled his eyes as he sat down. You sat in the seat behind them with C-3PO.

"I'm not scared R2, but this is my first time flying." C-3PO was definitely terrified but you didn't blame him. R2 just said something about how he's a lying piece of junk. Anakin took off as Padme co-piloted, you just listened to C-3PO and R2's arguing. Something felt off about Geonosis, like something horrible was going to happen. You just shook off the feeling and watched out the front window.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

A couple minutes later you approach the next dessert planet. It was a dazzling red and gold, but you weren't here for sightseeing. Once your closer to the ground it began to look much like Tatooine, sandy and harsh.

"Are those exhaust pipes?" You asked as the ship approached currents of steam.

"I believe so." Padme responded while clicking buttons.

"That'll do." Anakin landed inside the steam as it bounced off of the shiny ship. Once he touched some form of ground, he turned off the ship and we all stood up.

"Look, whatever happens out there, follow my lead." Padme explained to you and Anakin.

"We're not trying to start a war, Padme." You responded.

"No, I mean maybe I can find a diplomatic solution to this whole thing."

"Don't worry, we've both given up on trying to argue with you." Anakin smirked at you as Padme began to walk away. He slid over to you and grabbed you hand. Anakin brought your left hand up to his lips and began to whisper something. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you, my angel."

He had picked up on your bad feeling and thought you were worried. And you were but not like that. You weren't really worried about anything happening to you, you seemed to be pretty lucky when it came to that. You were worried about the feeling because it was normally right and about someone else.

"I'm not worried about me, it's just a feeling. Something will happen." With that he let go of your hand and you walked out together. Padme was waiting by the door and just raised her eyebrows. You nodded.

Steam filled the rusty walkway as you all slipped towards a door. Anakin pulled a lever on the mechanical entrance and it opened upwards. Anakin ducked like almost always but you and Padme had to duck as well. Once you were inside the rusty room, there wasn't as much steam. Anakin lead the way through a more natural looking tunnel. It had vines and dirt all along the sides.

But wait, there were also these clanking noises that sounded like droids. Anakin stopped and Padme followed suit, you had stopped earlier. Anakin began to turn around and you nodded. He whipped out his lightsaber and you did the same. His blue and your green illuminated the tunnel. You sliced the larger than expected droids while Padme ran ahead.

Once a decent amount were taken out or ran away, you both began making your way towards the door. Padme was already out there but when Anakin ran out he stopped suddenly. You stopped right behind him as you realized there was no more walkway. Then it started to retract, Padme falling off first but you and Anakin had grabbed ahold of the door and small ledge.

You jumped off, helping Padme by killing bug like aliens with wings. Anakin had jumped behind you and you were mainly using the force to throw the bugs into the hot metal. Once of them had a gun though.

"Duck!" You dropped to the ground and Anakin listened for once. The shot went over you both and you got up. You force pulled him towards you and sliced him with your saber. You could see Padme up ahead and she was stuck. There was a compressor and she was headed right for it. She ducked and ran through the machine and continued to for the following.

There weren't any more bugs in front of you and Anakin had the ones behind. You decided to start taking out some of the machines seeing as they weren't helping you. Anakin followed up and began to do the same as you ran towards Padme.

More bugs, which you had realized were Geonosions, had appeared. You force pushed a few out of the way and Anakin did the same. Anakin jumped up to another platform and started taking out more machines. You jumped up but you were to late, he got smacked in the face by one of the arms.

"Anakin!" You began ran over to him as he struggled to pull out a metal block. But you were stopped by more Geonosions. You took them out and Anakin had been pushed past you. He was rolling and dodging the compressors. Oh, maker. You ran over, rolling under machines, and taking some out. When you got to him he was back up standing with his lightsaber in hand.

You stopped by him and he stared at his lightsaber. "Oh, not again. Obi-Wan's going to kill me."

You chuckled and began to ran off after Padme, whom you had lost. But you were stopped by Droidkeas and a bounty hunter. You started to pull out you lightsaber but Anakin stopped you, you had already lost.

"Don't move, Jedi! Take them away!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were shackled next to Anakin and Padme was no where to be seen. From what you could understand they had found her to and that she would be brought with you. Anakin looked at you and even though he tried to hide it you could feel his fear.

"Don't be afraid." You whispered.

"I'm not afraid for myself." This was a vicious cycle, you both cared for each other so much that you would put your own life at stake for them.

"I don't just care about you, Y/n. I love you." He looked away as if he knew you wouldn't say it back. You hadn't before but why not, you did anyway.

"I love you, too." You muttered looked the your hands.

"What?" He stared at you with eyes as big as oceans.

"I love you."

He smiled a big, true smile and you smiled to. He leaned over and you leaned in to but then the door behind you flung open. You separated and Padme was led in. As soon as she was secure they began to go.

"This went smoothly." You lied. Padme and Anakin just chuckled as the sun began to blind you and the crowd began to cheer. They led you out to four posts, one with someone already on it. Obi-Wan, you were happy to see him but not in this situation. They brought you out of the cart one by one and tied you up to the posts.

"I was beginning to wonder if you got my message." Obi-Wan started as Anakin was out on the pole closest to him. Padme was next and then you, padme was already planning her way out with a bobby pin.

"I retransmitted it just like you asked, master." Anakin explained.

You began to pull on you chains wondering if you could use them to pull yourself up.

"Then we decided to come and rescue you."

"Good job."

A large beast came out of a gate and you decided it was time. You began to climb up the pole, it roared and more began to come out.

"I've got a bad feeling about this."

They started coming closer, even though you couldn't see them you heard they're footsteps.

"Just relax, concentrate."

"What about Padme and Y/n?"

"They seem to be on top of things."

You chuckled at Obi-Wans pun as you sat on top of your post. Padme had almost made it up and you were messing with your hand cuffs. You were using the force to move around the locks, successfully breaking them.

The green one went at Obi-Wan and pierced his chain so he was set free. The red one came at Anakin and did almost the same thing. The large cat went for Padme and she whacked it with her chain. Unfortunately, it came back and scratched her torso. You heard her scream and your eyes widened, you were going to have to start fighting.

You used you chain that you were no longer attached to and descended down the post. You reached the bottom and the large cat snarled at you. Obi-Wan was rolling in the sand, dodging the green animals legs. Anakin was being dragged through the sand by the bull. The cat came closer to you and you grabbed the chain again.

It charged at you and you jumped up leaning on its back and twisting its neck in the chain. It screamed loudly and it hurt your ears but you had to hold on. It began to run out of air and sank to the ground. You held it tight for a few more seconds before letting go.

Obi-Wans post had fallen and he had started to run away from the beast. Padme was still on top of her pole but she looked as though she would come down soon. Anakin's bull had stopped running and he tried to tame it. Hopefully he was using the force and not just being an idiot. Padme jumped down by you as you looked at Obi-Wan who had gotten someone's spear.

"Are you alright?" You asked Padme as she hunched over.

"I will be."

Anakin had jumped on the bull and was riding it again. He ran over towards you and Padme and only stopped an inch in front of you. You cartwheeled on behind him and kissed his cheek. He smiled and steadied the bull. Padme climbed on behind you and held on to your shoulders.

"Hyah! Hyah!" Anakin yelled as he got the animal to continue running. Obi-Wans stick had been broken by the large praying mantis. So he ran towards you and hopped on behind Padme. Anakin made the animal continue to run but we were stopped but Droidkeas. They circled us and we are just sitting ducks. They inched closer but suddenly lightsabers ignited all over the place.

The Jedis stood their ground as aliens began to flee. But then clanks started to sound throughout the air. The droids that were being built were coming. They stormed the dome but so did the jedi, two of them threw you your lightsabers and Padmes blaster. You jumped off since you didn't have any chains on but Obi-Wan and Anakin had to break out.

A shot was fired at a post and you were all thrown off the bull. You rolled on the ground put picked yourself back up and began to fight. You dodged bullets in fluid motions with your saber. When they came closer you kept the motions but sliced them. Padme jumped on to the creature that drove the cart and Anakin's extra ass jumped in. He deflected but let's back at the droids that shot at him.

While fighting you saw Obi-Wan almost get trampled out of the corner of your eye. Master Windu was with him and began to fight the bounty hunter in blue mandalorian armor. While looking around you found your master and you locked eyes. She gave you a little salute and you did the same. Hopefully this meant she wasn't still mad at you. Then Padme and Anakin crashed the cart right next to you and you used it as cover.

"You call this a diplomatic solution?" You asked Padme as she jogged over.

"No, I call it aggressive negotiations."

You smiled at her and she smiled at you, Anakin smirked and continued to fight. You're pretty sure that Obi-Wan killed the giant praying mantis but you were being pushed back so you didn't have time to observe. There wasn't that many jedi left here, about 14, and we had formed a circle. You were still deflecting shots as the droids inched closer. Then all of a sudden they stopped, pulling back their arms.

"Master Windu," Count Dooku was above you on a platform speaking, "You have fought gallantly. Worthy of recognition in the archives of the Jedi Order. Now it is finished, surrender and your life will be spared."

You saw Master Plo walk behind you and you were about to wave excitedly, but then your remembered te situation at hand.

"We will not be hostages to be bartered, Dooku!" Master Windu yelled back.

"Then... I'm sorry old friend."

The droids reached their arms back out and you got into your stance.

"Look!"

Padmes voices startled you but you looked up to see Master Yoda cruising. He had troopers in armor much like a mandalorians. The ships rained fire on the droid troops then landed around the jedi circle. Anakin, who was next to you, hopped on and pulled you with him. You grabbed Padmes hand and helped her up but then stepped back to let others on.

Obi-Wan got on the same one you were and you smiled at him. He smirked back and shook his head. Some masters had said before that you were able to make so much positive out of a situation. You were proud of that since some of your friends didn't do that same. The flying was hectic as they pilot had to swerve to dodge bullets.

"Hold on!" Obi-Wan exclaimed looking around to check on everyone.

"Aim above the fuel cells!" Anakin explained, you couldn't see what he was talking about but you trusted him.

"Good call, my young padawan." Anakin smiled at Obi-Wan and then looked at you. You were a little upset the your Master hadn't gotten on this transport but you were glad she was safe. Some of the ships started to land where a bunch of soldiers were standing. But yours kept on going, randomly dust had covered everything and the pilot couldn't see. We must have gone off track but Anakin spotted something when the dust cleared.

"It's Dooku! Shoot him down!"

"We're out of rockets, sir!" The captain responded.

"Then follow him!"

"We're going to need help!" Padme explained.

"We don't have time, we can take care of this." Obi-Wan glanced at you and Anakin. Then the ship dove a little lower to follow Dooku's speeder. But some smaller ships shot at us from the back. They rattled the ship and two people lost their grip. A soldier and Padme.

"Padme!" You yelled, but you were to late. "We have to stop the ship!"

"We don't have time Y/n. Don't let your personal feelings get in the way." Obi-Wan lectured.

"But protecting her is my mission."

"Your mission changed when you came here, I promise she'll be fine. She has a clone with her."

A clone? They made clones?

"But doesn't she deserve protecting!?"

"We can't Y/n, we can't take Dooku alone!"

You went back to your previous spot, still fuming, and saw Anakin staring out the opening. He swallowed and looked forwards, we were getting closer. Dooku flew into a hangar and our ship stopped at the end. We jumped out, our lightsabers ignited, and sprinted towards where he went.

You could hear the ship blow up behind you and you turned around. It was shot down, but the time you had from stopping gave you an idea. You snuck into the building and found an area that you could climb up. You used the metal texture of the wall as a ladder and made your way up to a crawl space.

Perfect.

You army crawled through it until you saw a vent with little room around it. When you got closer you could see through it. You would wait there until they needed you.

"You're going to pay for all the jedi that you killed today, Dooku." Anakin threatened.

"We'll take him together. Go in on the left-"

"I'm taking him now!"

"No, Anakin! No!"

Anakin sprinted towards him and got shocked by electricity from Dooku's hand. Anakin was flung into the wall and out of your sight. You fought the urge to jump down now, but you had to wait. They would need more time.

"As you see, my jedi powers are far beyond yours. Now back down." Dooku threw more lightning at Obi-Wan but he used his lightsaber or catch it.

"I don't think so."

Dooku pulled out his blade that had a curved hilt. It was beautiful but red so the crystal had bled. They began to fight at a fast pace with jumps and dodges.

"Master Kenobi, you disappoint me. Yoda holds you at such high esteem, surely you can do better." They fought again but you heard something.

Y/n?

Anakin? Shhh, shhh. Are you alright?

I will be, eventually.

You could feel Anakin trying to get up but you could also feel Obi-Wans concentration. That's when he let out a short scream and your eyes widened. He cut his bicep and his calf. But Anakin flew in before you could so you backed up into the vent.

"Brave of you, boy." Dooku commented, "But I would've thought you learned your lesson."

"I am a slow learner."

"Anakin!" Obi-Wan threw his lightsaber and everything happened so quickly. Dooku cut one of the sabers and Anakin cut the power line. You couldn't see anything from your spot so you would just have to feel. You connected with the force and you could see clearly again.

"AAAH!" Anakin screamed as his forearm was cut off.

Then Dooku froze as he tried to walk forward. You had stuck your hand out and stopped him from going any closer. You could feel the confusion from everyone in the room as you fell from the vent. Dooku was trying to break free and he had started shaking. You used your other hand to turn him towards you and then you put it back down.

"Don't... touch them... again." Your head began to hurt as the voices came back. Your eyes felt as though they might pop.

"How?" Dooku managed to ask.

"What?" You let go of your hold on his head so he could talk.

"How are you this... strong?"

"I don't understand. Stop trying to fool me."
