Disclaimer: Nothing is ever mine.
Chapter One:
Three Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptors flew past a Republic cruiser, laser fire filling the space around Coruscant. One interceptor had yellow markings, another had red, and the last had purple. The trio dove for the deck, where hundreds of Republic and Separatist ships and fighters were fighting. The Separatists invaded Coruscant and in the ensuing battle, were surprised by Republic reinforcements. Flak exploded everywhere and in the distance, two Separatist ships collided. A Republic cruiser fired a high-energy beam on a frigate nearby, causing a brilliant explosion. The interceptors flew through the fireball when Anakin spoke up.
"There's General Grievous's ship ahead." He said.
"Of course. It had to be the one crawling with Vulture droids." Siri said, rolling her eyes. Not far behind, a squadron of ARC-170s formed up with the Jedi. The Vultures ahead spotted the incoming threat and took off to meet their enemy. Each side fired their weapons head on. Some Vultures got vaporized, but not without taking a few 170s with them.
"Ahh!" Cried a clone pilot as his fighter burst into flames and spiraled out of control.
A droid tri-fighter came in behind another ARC. The ARC's gunner tried to fend off the threat, but he missed and the tri-fighter blasted the ARC, blowing it into smithereens.
"We gotta go help them." Anakin said, starting to turn his fighter around.
"No!" Obi-wan and Siri shouted at the same time.
"You first, Obi-wan." Siri blushed.
"Anakin, the clones have their job and we have ours. Leave them alone." Obi-wan lectured. Anakin rolled his eyes, silently grumbling to himself. They continued to the "Invisible Hand", when Siri noticed that the shields are up. She fired her laser cannons at the side of the battleship next to the hangar. It exploded, causing the blueish tint on the edges of the hangar to disappear.
"Good call, Siri." Obi-wan said, feeling himself flushing. His feelings for Siri (and her's to Obi-wan) hadn't changed for the past several decades. In his cockpit, Anakin smirked evilly. Before the battle, Anakin caught Siri and Obi-wan kissing in a closet. Anakin tried his best not to laugh aloud. Through his tears, he saw a large metal door coming in to close. The three Jedi made it just in time, crash-landing on the floor, screeching loudly as they came to a stop. Security droids came in the hangar, firing their blasters. Anakin opened his canopy and ignited his lightsaber, deflecting lase fire back to the droids. As he finished, Siri and Obi-wan, lightsabers activated, rushed in. But Anakin had left nothing for his former master and his…ahem…friend.
"Anakin! You didn't leave any for me!" Siri joked, playfully punching him in the arm.
"If you weren't as slow as Master after eating the bizi'grina berries two months back, you would've got some droids." Anakin joked back as Obi-wan buried his face in his hands. He still remembers that morning after Siri fed him the berries the night before. He was the Order's laughing stock for a week after most of the Temple's occupants saw that night's holocams. Siri grinned at Obi-wan with that same evil grin at that fateful night. Just then, Anakin's astromech droid, R2-D2, rolled in from behind and let out a series of beeps and whistles.
"The Chancellor is in the tower?" Anakin asked. R2 beeped and whistled some more.
"All right. R2, activate the elevator." Anakin said. R2 rolled to a control panel and connected to it. The group waited for the elevator. Then, the elevator's doors opened, revealing a battalion of battle droids.
"Hands up, Jedi!" A battle droid pointlessly ordered. Siri giggled as she and Obi-wan cut down the droids.
"Hey! No fair! I was going to take care of them!" Anakin whined.
Obi-wan and Siri burst into raucous laughter.
"You should've been faster." Siri giggled.
"You already did that earlier. Now stop whining like a young Padawan and get in." Obi-wan chuckled. The three stepped inside the elevator as the Jedi Masters' laughter subsided…
To be continued…
