The Small Light in the Darkness

Problem After Problem

Tatooine Space No POV

Anakin was done with some repairs as they were close to Tatooine.

Anakin: I was hoping I'd never have to lay eyes on this dust ball again.

Ahsoka: okay. What happened?

Anakin; I don't want to talk about it. How's Stinky holding up?

Ahsoka:<looks back to see Rotta asleep> he seems to be feeling much better. His fever is gone. Even you have to admit he's cute when he's asleep.

Anakin; I admit I like him better when he's quiet, but only a little.

R2:<beeps>

Anakin: no, R2. I want the cannon operational first. Leave the rear deflector shields for later.

Ahsoka: no rear shields, Master? That's awful risky.

Anakin: a strong attack eliminates the need for defense, Snips.

An alarm was sounding as Ahsoka checked the scanner after she hit it to make it work.

Ahsoka: attack ships closing!

Two Magna Guards in their fighters were firing at Anakin's ship.

Anakin; somebody doesn't want Stinky to get home in one piece.

They were rapid firing as one of the shots hit the back of the ship.

Ahsoka: wow! Quite a welcome home party!

R2:<beeps>

Anakin: set the approach vector and make ready to land.

Anakin just keeps going while the Magna Guard Droid ships kept firing at him as R2 beeps again.

Anakin: Ahsoka, activate the guns!

Ahsoka:<tries> all the guns are locked in the forward position. It's too bad you decided not to repair the rear deflector shields.

Anakin: not now, Ahsoka! R2, see if you can unlock those guns!

R2:<does that>

Ahsoka: sometimes a good defense is the best offense.

Anakin: why don't you go secure your little Huttlet friend?

Ahsoka: none of us are secure with you flying! <goes to the back>

Anakin; hang on, back there!

Anakin started to do maneuvers that made Ahsoka put her arms over Rotta. Anakin flew up and did a spin to make the ship straight out as the Magna Guards followed him, then he took the ship down making Ahsoka fall and Rotta fall off into Ahsoka's arms waking him up and making him cry.

Ahsoka: great! You woke the baby!

Anakin; I'm a little busy here!

One of the Magna Guards flew in front of Anakin to cut him off but Anakin fired and destroyed the ship.

Anakin: got one of them!

Ahsoka: what about the other one?

Anakin; one thing at a time!

Anakin kept dodging the shots but the shots hit vertical wing.

Anakin; I think we needed those rear shields after all.

Ahsoka: I told you so!

Anakin moved the ship to the right making Ahsoka and R2 fall to the right.

Anakin; R2, turn those guns around! R2!
