Eye Of The Needle (Star Wars)

Chapter 42: Going After Grievous

"He's truly a monster." Areria retorted.

"I hope Nova's alright." I commented. 

Maya placed a hand on my shoulder. "She's a fighter. That's for sure."

"We'll get her back. Don't you worry, Storm." Vinor assured me.

"Away with the younglings. Much there is to discuss." Master Yoda advised.

Areria glanced over at me, and I nodded, urging her to leave with Ahsoka, Barriss, and with the other padawans and younglings. Once they left, we began our discussion.

"It's time somebody finally put an end to that monster." Anakin urged.

Master Yoda nodded. "On that, agreed we are. How to find him, the question remains."

"After engaging Grievous, we lost contact with Master Koth. He could be anywhere." Obi-Wan commented.

"Commander Wolffe has found a message in the holo transmission. Play back the message." Master Koon urged.

Maya placed back the hologram at once. We then saw Master Koth give us hand signals. My eyes widened. "Look. Hand signals."

"That's quite clever of Master Koth." Kina complimented.

"Clever indeed." Master Allie agreed.

"I admit my skills are rusty, but Saleucami system, sector J-19. Zero-eight, zero-five, two-nine." Obi-Wan said, translating the hand signals in a heartbeat.

Master Gallia, Master Allie's cousin spoke up. "Saleucami? But intelligence reported Grievous has no ships near that sector."

"Yes, but so often inaccurate our intelligence is." Master Yoda admitted.

"I shall go." Obi-Wan offered.

"So will I." Anakin chimed in.

"And I." Master Gallia said.

Kina stepped forward. "As will I."

"Count me in as well." I added, jumping on board with the others.

With that Obi-Wan, Master Gallia, Anakin, Kina, and I made up into space. Obi-Wan, Kina, and I would engage the Separatist fleet on the warship, while Anakin and Master Gallia would get Master Koth and Nova. A hologram of Anakin and Master Gallia appeared. They were in another ship not too far from us.

"Are you ready?" Obi-Wan asked.

Anakin nodded. "Ready and waiting."

"Kina, Storm, and I shall engage the Separatist fleet and send you the coordinates of Grievous' command ship." Obi-Wan mentioned, going over the plan.

"Just make sure you get it right." Anakin retorted.

"I always do." Obi-Wan shot back.

Master Gallia raised an eyebrow. "How do you plan on getting Grievous aboard your ship?"

"Not to worry. The good General and I have a history. I'm sure he'll want to even the score face-to-face." Obi-Wan assured her.

"Meanwhile, we'll jump in undetected and board the command ship." Anakin added.

"If Master Koth and Nova are still alive, we will find them." Master Gallia mentioned.

"Hopefully, by the end of this mission, we will have saved Master Koth, Nova, and captured General Grievous." I commented.

Kina placed a hand on my shoulder. "I hope we will, Storm."

With that the hologram ended. We then proceeded with our plan. Once our ships was near Grievous's ship, Obi-Wan, Kina, and I contacted Grievous. As soon as he appeared on our holoprojector, Obi-Wan spoke up. "General, I knew one day I'd catch up to you."
