We followed the tracker through hyperspace, once Jango's ship jumped out of it, we followed behind. We came to the planet, Geonosis. Geonosis had a large astroid field around out which we would have to go through to follow Jango's ship.

We ditched the hyperspace rings and went into the astroid field, "I hope you remember your pilot training." Obi-wan's snarky voice said through the speaker.

I chuckled, "Please, you're the one that hates flying." I fired back, bringing up what Anakin said while we were chasing the assassin through Coruscant.

Jango and his son must've recognized our ships on their radar by now and I suddenly sensed something was about to happen.

We were very close to their ship when I saw a hatch on the back of their ship open and release something, "Dammit, get ready."

"Seismic charges, fantastic." Obi-wan said sarcastically.

"I'll follow you." I told him, his ship flew faster to get in front of mine and we made a short line with our starfighters.

He went right under an astroid, causing the seismic charge to hit the astroid, "Step on it." He told me as the charge hit the rock and exploded, the blue explosion following closely behind us.

I sped up as fast as possible, luckily we escaped from it, "Here comes another one." I warned, watching the back of Jango's ship.

It hit another astroid, destroying all of the ones around it as Obi-wan and I got split up in the explosion and when separate ways.

I then followed Jango's ship into the cavern of a huge astroid, dodging all the rocks in the way of the tunnel with my headlights on as Obi-wan went around the astroid.

I came out the other side unable to find Jango, Obi-wan caught up with me and we were flying side by side, "Where'd he go?" I asked Obi-wan.

Then, his ship appeared behind ours, "Dammit, get ready for him to open fire."

Eventually he started shooting straight at Obi-wan's ship, "Blast it! This is why I hate flying!" Obi-wan said through the mic, causing me to laugh.

One more hit and Obi-wan's ship was wrecked, but they stopped firing... and released missiles.

"See you on the other side." I told Obi-wan, taking my ship and flying straight upwards as a missile came after me.

I flew back behind Jango's ship and then straight down. I took a deep breath and stopped my ship completely and spinning around causing the missile to go straight past me and then come back at the front of my ship, I shot it down with ease.

Obi-wan was still running from his and the last I could see of him was a large explosion in the distance. He was alive so I quickly shut off my ship and landed on an astroid safely.

"Obi-wan, are you good?" I asked through the mic.

"Yes, I'm fine. He bought it, lets wait a few more minutes before we head down to the planet." He told me, I sighed but reluctantly agreed.

Soon, the minutes were up and we flew down to Geonosian territory. As we were flying over there were tons of Federation ships landed, they were these huge spheres with small attachments on them.

"There's an unusual amount of Federation ships." Obi-wan said, I nodded even though he couldn't see me.

"Yeah, I wonder why they're here." I mumbled as we flew into a small cove like area and landed on a ledge.
