┏━━━°⌜another happy landing⌟°━━━┓
NOVA, THE CHANCELLOR AND ANAKIN who was carrying an unconscious obi-wan down the hallway to the elevator that the two jedi used when they first arrived. unfortunately for them it wasn't working leaving them to stand about for a few seconds, "r-two, activate elevator three-two-two-four," anakin spoke into the com-link, while nova looked around nervously ready to shot anything that came their way.
as they stood waiting the ship began to shake violently and slowly tilt causing nova's boots to start sliding down. the group began to run towards the elevator shaft, taking their chances with running instead of waiting. nova led them down, huffing as she continued to run but it wasn't long until the ship began to pull back up to it's normal altitude. the brunette felt her feet slip from underneath her until she began to slid down the cold metal, anakin and chancellor palpatine following suit.
with a small yelp she grabbed onto one of the lose wires, with a groan before anakin joined next to her with obi-wan still on his back and the chancellor holding onto his legs, she looked down with a grimace, not enjoying how high up they were. nova's attention was quickly changed to obi-wan who had finally regained consciousness, he let out a gasp grabbing onto anakin tightly. "easy, we're in a bit if a situation here," anakin strained as he held on with the extra weight of obi-wan and palpatine. "did i miss something?" obi-wan sassed.
nova's hands were becoming sweater and it was getting harder to hold on, "ugh we have a problem," she mumbled just loud enough when she looked up to see the elevator quickly descend. "what is that?" obi-wan asked, worry lacing his voice. "uh oops," anakin said before telling r-two to shut it down - but it was coming down too fast which meant they had to let go and jump.
obi-wan and anakin shot their grapple out which wrapped round a metal bar tightly, obi-wan's strong arm wrapped around nova's waist catching her before she could fall past the entrance. her arm went round his shoulders, and was pulled forward landing heavily on the ground just as the elevator flew past them down the shaft. with a groan she felt obi-wan's hand pull her up gently, "let's see if we can find something in the hanger bay that's still flyable,"
after anakin had contacted r-two who was still in the hanger bay, the group began to make their way down another corridor hoping to reach a ship quickly. their plans were suddenly halted by the ray shields that had fallen around them trapping them in the middle of their tracks. "this is just great," nova huffed, beginning to become impatient with the entire situation. "wait a minute. how did this happen? we're smarter than this." the older jedi spoke with confusion looking around. "apparently not," anakin retorted back causing nova to roll her eyes.
"i say patience," anakin continued which confused both nova and obi-wan, anakin was known as a reckless jedi within the order whereas obi-wan was the exact opposite with his carefully thought out plans. "patience?" obi-wan nodded in agreement, nova's hand still grasping her blaster tightly. just as anakin began to speak about r-two showing up to disable the shields, the white and blue droid came whizzing past before hitting against the walls roughly. "see no problem," the younger jedi spoke with assurance.
battle droids rolled out surrounding them, "slight problem," nova whispered to the two jedi which anakin scowled at. "do you have a plan b?" obi-wan asked facing his apprentice.

after being captured once again, they were led into a control room full of battle droids and the infamous general grevious. "ah yes, the negotiator, general kenobi. we've been waiting for you," the mechanical voice rung out, "that wasn't much of a rescue, and anakin skywalker. i was expecting someone with your reputation to be a little... older," he continued.
"general grevious, you're shorter than i expected," anakin sassed back, getting a violent cough and insult in return. "we've got a job to do anakin, try not to upset him," obi-wan mused sarcastically. general grevious shoved obi-wan and anakin's lightsabers into his cloak that already had two others, boasting about his collection. in one quick moment however, r-two let out a burst of electricity frying the nearby droids and obi-wan had grabbed his lightsaber back breaking his chains and anakin's.
before nova knew it she was being dragged from behind roughly by a droid along with the chancellor her hands still tied uncomfortably. she watched nervously as obi-wan slashed through the imperial droids, pushing them back with ease while anakin followed her and the chancellor to free them from the droids. he took the imperial down quickly before slicing the two battle droids and their chains quickly.
both jedi took down the rest of the battle droids, along with nova who had shot a few down that were making their way closer to her and the chancellor, leaving obi-wan and anakin to fight off grevious. in the midst of all the chaos, the window had somehow been smashed causing grevious to escape while the rest gasped for air. r-two thankfully was able to close the windows over just before anything else could happen.
"can you fly a cruiser like this?" nova questioned anakin as she felt the ship begin to shake once again. "you mean, do i know how to land what's left of this thing?" he retorted back taking the pilot seat bracing himself to fly the damaged cruiser to coruscant.
everyone quickly strapped themselves in watching them approach coruscant quickly, nova knew this was going to be a rough landing as the ship shook with the force of breaking through the atmosphere and being flung forward harshly. her ribs ached with the sudden tug back and forth, as a big chunk of the ship broke off. "we lost something," anakin pointed out. "not to worry, we are still flying half a ship,"
the cruiser began to pick more speed as the approached the landing strip. anakin instructed obi-wan and nova to help the cruiser keep level which would help eventually slow it down hopefully. r-two beeped and whirred nervously which nova completely understood as the views of coruscant became clearer the closer they reached the ground.
ships appeared at both sides of the cruisers to help them land and slow down before they crashed. "landing strip straight ahead," obi-wan pointed to the large strip of concrete in front of them, "we're coming in too hot," anakin muttered as he did his best to control the burning cruiser.
the ship hit the ground harshly, causing them all to fall forward. nova let out a pained groaned as she watched one of the towers collapse from being hit by the ship. finally it the cruiser began to slow down until it stopped with a loud noise. a sigh of relief left nova's lips as she looked around to see obi-wan smiling "another happy landing," he spoke pushing back the hair that had fallen over his face.
