Obi-Wan, Anakin, Kyra, and Padmé were at the open sides of the Gunship. Clones fired down at the droids below. The Gunship slowed circling over a droid gun-emplacement. It blasted it, but suddenly the Gunship was rocked by a near miss. It lurched violently.
"Hold on! Look over there. . ." Anakin pointed out.
Through the other side of the Gunship, they saw a Geonosian Speeder racing past. In the open cockpit was the unmistakable figure of Coung Dooku.
"It's Dooku, go after him!" Anakin ordered.
The pilot started to comply, but there was a huge blast, and the ship lurched on its side, and Padmé and Kyra tumbled out.
"Kyra!" Anakin watched as Kyra attempted to slow her sisters fall before hitting the ground. Kyra rolled down the sand before her head fell on her shoulder, showing she was unconscious.
Padmé had manages to stay conscious. She ran to her sister, kneeling down beside her.
"Put the ship down! Down!" Anakin ordered to GI after them.
"No! Forget them. We have to go after Dooku," Obi-Wan countered.
"No we're not! Land this ship!" Anakin kept on ordering.
"Don't let your personal feelings get in the way. We've got a job to do," Obi-Wan reminded his padawan.
Below, Padmé hauled herself to her feet and waved for them to go after Dooku.
"I don't care! Go back," Anakin didn't stop.
"Anakin! She will be all right! Look, Padmé is with her," Obi-Wan pointed out, and Anakin stares out to see Kyra lying near her sister, who was waving for them to go on.
"She's fine!" Padmé yelled as loud as she could for the Gunship.
"Follow that speeder!" Obi-Wan took over the controls, and had the pilota follow Count Dooku.
On the ground, Padmé looked up at Gunship #2 as it sped away after Count Dooku. Obi-Wan and Anakin followed the speeder to a Geonosian tower. The speeder decsended rapidly; the Gunship followed. Count Dooku's speeder parked outside the tower; the Gunship parked next to it. Obi-Wan and Anakin lept down and ran inside the tower.

Back on the ground, Padmé sat by Kyra. She was beginning to lose count of how many times she had saved her. Throwing back a Nexu, and then having Padmé have the better fall instead of herself.
A small groan emitted from Kyra. She slowly opened her eyes and squinted as she was met with the sun. She propped herself up with her elbows and when she saw Padmé, she smiled.
"Where's Anakin?" Kyra asked first thing.
"On the ship," Padmé informed, "we fell out. They're going after Count Dooku."
"We have to help them," Kyra said at an instance, pushing herself up. She atumbledz quickly caught by Padmé.
"Careful, you hit your head," Padmé advised.
