Star Wars: the Chosen One

Entry 6

When we landed on Geonosis, we hid in some columns of steam to hide our ship. Padme and I walked inside after she reminded me to keep quiet so she could “find a diplomatic solution to this mess.”

We walked down a dark tunnel. Padme was beside me and there were no other sounds besides our breathing.

“Wait,” I whispered, sensing something.

Before she could react, I turned around and whipped out my lightsaber. I ignited it at the same time that I swung it, hitting a Geonosian. There were twenty others flying around us. “Go on ahead!” I yelled to Padme, cutting two more. I turned to run after her, but I sensed more of them coming after us.

I quickly turned around and cut another in half, then came back around and cut another one’s head off. With the end of that swing, I cut another one. I swung my lightsaber in a “Z” shape, killing two more of them. I turned back to Padme.

She was at the end of the tunnel, at the doorway. It opened up into a huge factory. I ran through the door onto the small platform beside her. I put away my lightsaber as I finished coming through the doorway. The platform slowly started to come inward into the place I was standing.

Before I had time to react, Padme fell down. “Padme!” I screamed. Then, my feet were knocked out from under me. I grabbed a hold of something above my head. I watched as the conveyor belt she was on moved forward. I jumped down and ignited my lightsaber at the same time. When I landed, I swung upwards, hitting a flying Geonosian. I hit another one and it fell and was crushed by one of the machines. I turned to my right and hit another one.

Just as that one fell, another one fired shots at me from a machine I’d never seen before. I ducked and rolled around backwards, so when I landed I was back on my feet. As that one flew over, I swung and cut it in half. I sensed more behind me so I turned and swung my lightsaber at the same time. I cut two at once that time. I jumped forward and turned back around to cut yet, one more. I jumped off that layer of the conveyor belt and landed on top of another Geonosian.

This part was filled completely with all kinds of machines. I looked behind me and didn’t see any so I looked forward to the direction where I was heading. Then, all of the sudden, a Geonosian jumped on my from above. I was knocked down, but I managed to hold onto my lightsaber. I used the Force to push him away, then re-ignited my lightsaber and swung downward, cutting it.

I cut several machines as I was moved along. I used the Force to guide my jump when there was a machine too big for me to cut down. Off to the distance another Geonosian shot more blasts toward me. I ducked, but it continued firing. There was a line of droid legs hanging just above and diagonal from where I was standing. I used the Force to knock them down and hit the Geonosian.

He fell. Then I flung another thing to hit two more Geonosian’s to the other side of me. I jumped up and did a front flip onto another conveyer belt higher up. I swung to the right, hitting another machine out of my way. I didn’t see a mechanical arm, however and I was knocked down. The fall took my breath away and I groaned. When I tried to stand up, my right arm wouldn’t move. I looked to the side. It was trapped underneath a piece of metal that had been welded onto the conveyor belt. My lightsaber had been in that hand, so I knew I couldn’t cut myself out of it. I tried pulling with my left arm but it was on there too good.

“Not good,” I murmured to myself. I wondered how Padme was doing, if she was okay and how she would get around in this place not being a Jedi. More machines came down adding onto the metal piece.

I looked just ahead.

There were cutters that were as wide as the conveyer belt was. The cutters came down, cutting things up ahead completely in half. The cutters had a rhythm to the way they cut. When one of them came up, the other one went down.
