Author's note

It's time for the most feared chapters, but I just wanted to quickly address something. There's dialogue in this movie that doesn't line up completely with what happened in the Clone Wars, therefore I have removed some of that. So if there are any special lines that are missing, that is likely why.


"Master, General Grievous's ship is directly ahead, the one crawling with vulture droids," Anakin tells us over the comlink. Each of us in our own fighter flying between several ships as the biggest air battle over Coruscant is taking place.

"Oh, I see it. Oh this is going to be easy," Obi-Wan replies.

"Now it's definitely not going to be now that you've said that," I scold him. The three of us line up on a line, with clone fighters behind us.

"This is where the fun begins," Anakin says.

"Let them pass between the two of us, Lora," Obi-Wan tells me. We meet the pack of vulture droids, as as planned, let them go between us. The clones behind us shoot those down they can, but it also ends with some of them being taken down in the process.

"They're all over me," one of the clones say. What is he talking about? But static takes over the line before we get an answer.

"I'm gonna go help them out," Anakin tells us.

"No," our master says. "No, they are doing their job so we can do ours."

Suddenly in front of us, six missiles are heading for us. "Missiles, pull up," I tell the others.

"They overshot us," Obi-Wan says.

"They're coming around," Anakin shots down his hopes. And he's right, the missiles have been locked in on us, two for each ship. We split up and I speed up, going as fast as possible to buy me some more time. There's no way I can outrun them, but I need to figure something out, fast. I see one of the Separatist ships and fly closer. I see it turning around, so as I suddenly change course and fly in between some scrap still hanging onto the ship after being shot off, the missiles hit the ship.

"Two for one," I say happily.

"I'm hit, who's closest to me?" Obi-Wan asks.

I see our location as Anakin responds. "I'm the closest. I see them. Buzz droids."

"They're shutting down all the controls."

"Move to the right so I can get a clear shot at them," Anakin says. When you can't see them, it does sound kinda weird.

"The mission!" Some yell over the coms.

"Lora, Anakin, get to the command ship. Get the Chancellor. I'm running out of tricks here," Obi-Wan tells us. The course I'm on is taking me towards them, but also the ship we believe the Chancellor is on. "Oh, in the name of-"

"What's going on?" I ask.

"Anakin is shooting me down! Hold your fire! You're not helping here."

"I agree. Bad idea," Anakin agrees. But he doesn't sound very sorry about hitting our master.

"I can't see a thing. My cockpit's fogging. They're all over me. Anakin!"

That's when I finally fly over another ship and close enough to see what they're doing. Anakin shoves his ship into Obi-Wan's, and I can almost hear Obi-Wan cursing Anakin.

"Move to the right," Anakin tells him.

"Hold on, Anakin. You're gonna get us both killed. Both of you, get out of here. There's nothing more you can do."
