We stopped running down the hallway once we reached the elevator. I clicked the button, but nothing happened. Anakin took out the com link Obi Wan had, "R2, activate elevator 3224."

Suddenly, the ship began tilting upside down. Losing our footing, we held onto the elevator's doorway to keep us up. "This is perfect." I grunted. "A perfect day." Anakin added. Climbing up and over the doorway, we ran down the walls of the elevator.

We lost footing once more when the ship started to tilt back to its normal position. The Chancellor grabbed onto Anakin's leg as we started sliding down the wall. Holding our arms above us, we slid until both of us grabbed a wire on the wall.

"Are you okay?" Anakin asked from the other side. "Yeah, yeah I'm okay." I replied, starting to get nauseous. Keeping my eyes down at my stomach, I heard Obi Wan gasp.

"Easy. We're in a bit of a situation here." Anakin said. "Did I miss something?" Obi Wan tightened his grip around Anakin. "Hold on." Anakin breathed.

"What is that?" He asked, looking above us. "Uh, oops. R2, shut down the elevator." Anakin spoke into the com link. "Too late. Jump!" I announced as I let go of the wire.

Taking my manual grappling hook out of my pocket, I quickly unravelled it. Throwing it over a ledge against the wall, I flung into a doorway. Them behind me just in time.

"Let's see if we can find something in the hangar bay that's still flyable." I said. "R2, R7, get down here." Anakin told the droid, "R2, R7, do you copy?" A few seconds passed until we heard chirping on the other end.

"Let's hurry." Obi Wan spoke. We ran down the hall until ray shields activated around us, stopping in our tracks. "Ray shields." Anakin said. "Wait a minute. How did this happen? We're smarter than this." Obi Wan looked at us.

"Apparently not." I replied. "I say patience." Anakin suggested. "Patience?" Obi Wan questioned. "Yes. The droids will be along in a few moments and then he'll release the ray shields."

The door opened and R2 squealed as he slid in the room so fast that he hit the wall on the other side. "See? No problem." Anakin defended. "Where's R7?" I asked.

Before anyone could answer or question, two destroyers rolled in the room and aimed their guns along with battle droids. "Don't move." One told R2. R2 rejected by striking it with electricity, then was kicked backwards onto the ground.

Hearing more droids behind us, Obi Wan asked, "Plan B?" Anakin eyed him and shook his head. The ray shields deactivated and the droids surrounded us. They put us in handcuffs and led us down the hall, into the command center.

The door opened, exposing General Grievous and other droids piloting the ship. Walking in a line, Grievous coughed as he watched us one by one. "Ah yes. The negotiator. General Kenobi, we've been waiting for you."

A droid went up to the General and gave him our lightsabers. "Y/n y/l/n and Anakin Skywalker, I was expecting people with your reputation to be a little.. older." He coughed. "General Grievous, you're shorter than I expected." I held my head high. "Jedi scum."

"We have a job to do, y/n. Try not to upset him." Obi Wan requested. "Your lightsabers will make a fine addition to my collection." The droid opened his cloak and revealed other lightsabers in the pockets underneath, now along with ours.

"Not this time. And this time, you won't escape." Obi Wan said. "R2." Anakin spoke. R2 made a distraction with the electricity pulsating out of his extended parts.
