× Chapter Sixteen: Death Trap ×

-----------------------

"So, I'm certain you have a plan?" Obi-Wan asked while looking at Anakin with a smirk. "Actually, Master. I do."

"What about a plan B? Every plan jas to have a backup." Obi-Wan said as he strapped himself in. Mal had did the same once she had settled herself down too, before Anakin had powered the ship. "No. But I'm working on it."

"So, what's the plan? Fly to the ship, hope they don't spot us, save the Senator, and try not to get ourselves killed?" Obi-Wan asked with sass as Anakin smirked. "Basically."

"That's assuring."

"Come on, Master Kenobi, I'm sure Master Anakin's plan isn't that terrible.." Mal defended, causing Anakin's smirk to widen. "See, even Fireball agrees."

"Master Anakin, you have one more time to call me Fireball.." Mal jokingly threatened while playfully glaring as Anakin chuckled. "I'm just saying.."

"You two are going to be the death of me one day, I swear. And Ahsoka." Obi-Wan said while shaking his head. "Ouch, I feel a little offended." Anakin said while placing a hand on his heart.

"You should be. Let's get going."

Mal shook her head before she felt a tap at her knee and looked next to her to see Anakin's R2 unit, R2-D2.

"Hey, R2!"

The droid beeped his greetings happily before Mal smiled under her mask and patted his head. "Good to see you little guy. Hang on tight, because we're taking off."

--------------------

"Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"It sounded like a ship boarding on one of our emergency docks."

"Your audio receptors are probably getting rusty, no one's crazy enough to do that."

"I hope you're right."

--------------------

"Anakin, you're crazy. Spinning is not the same as flying." Obi-Wan argued as Mal giggled at them. "But it's a good trick." Anakin defended with a smirk.

"Well, I hope your crazy flying tricks didn't get us caught."

"They're too busy fixing the hyperdrive to notice." Anakin said as Mal turned to them. "If they're hyperdrive is damaged severely, then maybe while we're here, we can destroy the ship. Maybe work the hyperdrive to explode when they go to use it or something."

"Good idea, Mal." Anakin said in shock as Mal nodded, her dimples hugging our her eyelids displaying that she was smiling. "Well, let's try not to draw attention to ourselves."

"Ah! I knew it was them! Blast them!" They heard as they turned back to see that the door to the elevator had opened and there were two droids that were standing right in front of it.

"I got this one, Masters." Mal said while igniting her lightsaber, which glowed a bright lavender color, before she took it and swung it through both of the droids' heads. She watched they fell to the ground, their heads falling off as they did before her blade disappeared.

"Impressive." Obi-Wan said while coming up to her and placing a hand on her shoulder. "Alright, we need to find the Senator and we need to get off the ship."

"Right! This place is a death trap! This whole ship could fall apart any minute!" Mal exclaimed while looking at the debris falling from the ceiling and wires hanging from above, some sparking. "R2, stay here and watch the ship until we come back. Mal, stick close to us, and whatever you do, don't wonder off, you might get lost in here."

"Yes, Master." Mal acknowledged before she patted the droid's head once more. "See you when we get back, R2."

----------------------

Mal, Anakin, and Obi-Wan had been running around for a while, still no sign of the Senator anywhere and Mal began to feel a little worried.

Had she been captured? Is she okay? These thoughts roamed Mal's mind and she couldn't help but feel that something happened.

But just as she thought of this, she heard Anakin's commlink go off.

"Ahsoka?"

: Master, we're receiving a transmission from Senator Amidala. : Ahsoka said as Anakin looked at Obi-Wan then at Mal. "Patch her through. Padmé?"

Before Mal could listen to the rest of the conversation, Mal saw two super droids approach and quickly rose her arms, red flares pouring from her hands as she did, and she lifted one of the droids, throwing them into the other before crushing it.

"Very impressive." Obi-Wan mumbled to himself which Mal heard. "Alright, guys, Padmé is going to meet us in the transport area, which is four hallways down from here. We better get moving."

"Of course, Master Anakin."
