I looked at Plo-Koon who continued to shake his head.
"It's not a good idea, Luna" he said.
"Why not?" I asked.
"You know why" he said.
"I'm the only available Jedi" I said.
"Master Kenobi and Skywalker will accompany you to infiltrate Grievous" he said.
"I can do this on my own" I said.
"I can sense anger inside you" he said. "Revenge is not the Jedi way."
"Stop acting like you know what I'm feeling" I snapped.
I crossed my arms as Anakin and Obi-Wan walked in. Plo-Koon went on a briefing with them as I zoned out.
"Luna" I heard. "Luna!"
I shook my head as Anakin held onto my arm.
"Listen, I know it's been a hard couple of months and you've barely been on the field but you're not ready for this" he said.
"I'm more than ready" I said.
He grabbed my face as my eyes began to soften. I put my hand over his as he put his forehead to mine.
"I'm okay, I promise" I said.
"You're not" he said.
"Maybe" I said. "But we have a ship to infiltrate."
I took his hand off my cheek as we walked out of the temple and onto a shuttle. I could feel Obi-Wan's eyes on me as we stood in the command center.
"What?" I asked.
"Are you sure you are ready for this? After Cal?" He asked.
I looked down, grabbing the sides of the console.
"Everybody out!" He yelled.
He walked over as I looked up.
"You're hurting and I know that feeling. Nobody understands what you're going through better than I do" he said. "I don't want you to think you're alone. You're pushing everybody away, even Anakin."
"I just- I-" I said not knowing what to say.
"I fear you are going to do something you will regret if you leave this ship" he said.
"I'll be fine" I said.
Anakin walked in, nodding. We followed him to the hangar, hopping into our fighters. I looked at Anakin before flying off.
"It's kind of weird that they're not shooting at us" I said.
"He's expecting us" Obi-Wan said.
We approached the ship as I got a chill down my spine.
"I don't like this" Anakin said.
I jumped out of my fighter before looking around. Droids appeared as I grabbed my sabers. I blocked the blasts as Anakin, Obi-Wan and I got separated. I sliced the droids, looking to my left.
I ran down the hall expecting to see Grievous but was met with Count Dooku. He smiled as I grabbed my sabers.
"Wasn't expecting you" I said.
"I presume you were wanting General Grievous?" He asked. "I heard about your young padawan."
"Don't talk about him" I said.
I lunged at him as he pulled out his saber.
"Do you know your true identity?" He asked.
"What are you talking about?" I said.
