BATTLE SCARS [✓]

× Chapter Seventeen: General Grevious ×

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

"Okay, we're here, but I don't see them." Mal said while through the area where she saw dozens of transports going by. It was hard to tell where the Senator was, but when she saw blast fire coming from the lower part of the transport area, she knew it was Padmé. "There they are!"

Mal pointed to the second level on the other side of the rails to see Padmé shooting at the droids that were coming closer to them. Anakin and Obi-Wan saw this and both jumped down from the ledge and onto another transport, making their way towards the Senator. Before Mal could make an attempt to jump, a few droids had showed up behind her and started shooting.

"Shoot! Masters, I can't make the jump right now! You have to get the Senator on your own!" Mal shouted into her comms as she deflected shots back to the droids. : Why? What's wrong?! :

Before she could answer, a shot was fired at her, hitting her in her shoulder plate and causing her to fall back. She slipped off the edge, her hands quickly catching the edge as she did.

"Mal!" She heard as she strained to pull herself up. As she did, a droid came up to her and tried to shoot at her hands, but she pressed her feet against the walls and pushed herself off the ledge and onto a transport below.

She looked back to see that Obi-Wan was following her on a different transport and was trying to levitate Padmé's droid, C-3PO, onto his transport but was cut off by another transport heading away from him.

"Oh, boy.. that's not good.." Mal said before she saw Obi-Wan land on her transport. "Are you alright, my dear?"

"I'm fine, Master. Where is this transport taking us?" Mal asked while clipping her lightsaber onto her belt. "I'm not sure. Most likely the ship's engine if I'm right."

"Isn't that where the main power is?" Mal asked as Obi-Wan's face lit up. "Good idea. Anakin? You and the Senator see about the hyperdrive on the bridge, Maleshei and I will head for the main reactor room to try and delay the ship's power as much as we can."

: You got it, Obi-Wan. :

"Do you think they'll make it?" Mal asked as the transport came to a stop at the far end of the ship. "We'll have to believe they will."

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

Mal and Obi-Wan entered the main reactor room, Mal's senses going off the roof as she walked in. She knew there were droids, but she was sensing a lot more than just a couple of them. It was a little dark, so Mal was only able to see 3 or 4 B1 droids standing and protecting the controls.
