After the meeting was over, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, Neria, and I made our way to the hangars. As soon as we reached Eta-class shuttle, Anakin rushed inside, yelling out. "I'm flying!"

"Great, looks like we're crash landing again." Ahsoka mentioned as we walked into the shuttle.

I chuckled. "It won't be the first nor will it be the last time."

"Let's just hope our presence won't alert Dooku." Obi-Wan commented.

"Doesn't matter, as long as we capture Dooku." I pointed out.

By that time, we had reached the cockpit. Obi-Wan gave me a worried look. "Are you sure you're up for this?"

"I'm fine." I assured him. "I'm prepared to bring him down to show everyone that I am nothing like Dooku."

"You are nothing like Dooku, Miona. You shouldn't let the others' words get to you." Obi-Wan said, trying to cheer me up.

"Yeah, they're just jealous of how great you are." Anakin added.

I cracked a smile. "Thanks guys."

"Now let's get Dooku once and for all." Anakin said as he took off.

"How are we crash landing again?" Obi-Wan asked.

"Because we allowed Anakin to be the pilot." I retorted.

"Ha, ha, ha, you're so funny. It's not my fault. The ship's coming in too hot." Anakin protested.

"Everyone hold on to something. We're going to have a bumpy landing." I mentioned.

As soon as we were low enough, our shuttle slammed into the ground. As the shuttle slid forth, we felt it run over something or someone around our size or so. Hopefully that wasn't a native. It wasn't long until the shuttle stopped.

"Another happy landing." Obi-Wan said.

"No thanks to Anakin." Neria muttered.

"Do you want to try to fly?!" Anakin exclaimed, getting frustrated.

"Hey, there's no need to fight. We're here on Middle-Earth and in one piece." I mentioned.

"Miona's right. Let's start in the nearest village." Obi-Wan suggested.

With that, we climbed out of what was left of the shuttle. As soon as we were on the luscious green grass, we noticed a giant ferocious looking wolf crushed by the shuttle. I hope we didn't cause a lot trouble by killing this beast. It was then when I felt a disturbance in the Force. There's great evil here...which means Dooku is definitely on this planet.

"Hey you guys, I don't think it'll take long until we find some locals." Ahsoka mentioned.

"What makes you say that?" I inquired.

However as soon as we turned around and followed Ahsoka's gaze, we understood what she meant. Not too far from us, we saw a man in gray robes with gray beard, a pointed hat and a staff, thirteen men who were rather short for humans with beards, and a shorter man with no beard and giant feet with hair. They were all staring at us and our destroyed shuttle. Maybe we can ask them if they've seen Dooku.

As I approached them, many of the bearded men raised their weapons of axes, swords, bows and arrows. I raised my hands. "We mean no harm. We come in peace."

Anakin snickered. "That's great, Miona. They'll believe us, especially since we've killed their beast."

I shot a glare at him, but turned back around to look at the group. The man with the gray robes shook his head. "That beast you killed is not ours. That was a warg, pets of the orcs. We were running from them."
