Fire came from it and we were sent backwards and to the side. Metal depree flies every where and some comes falling onto us in the opening we fell through. I grunt as I hit the floor and depree falls onto me. When the smoke explosion stops the smoke clears I see Mace and Anakin under a huge chunk of metal. I groan as I try moving and gasp as I feel a sudden burning pain in my lower abdomen and legs.

I guess some metal went into me. I thought painfully. I hear beeping going above us. i start seeing blue and white and hear Anakin grunt. "R2!" Anakin grunts again in pain. R2 then comes down to us. I look over and gasp. Anakin looks at me then to R2.

"Good to see you, buddy. *coughing*" R2 goes to Anakin's side and starts pushing. The bridge starts rumbling and moving. "Careful, R2."R2 backs up beeping. "I'm afraid the whole bridge will collapse. I need you to go back to the fighters and call the temple for help, okay? *more coughing* Okay!?" R2 makes some whimpering sounds. "Go get help. We'll hold out as long as we can. *coughs again* And hurry, Iko there seems to be injured badly." R2 looks over to me.

I look over and see Anakin's head to start to droop. "Go on, R2." Anakin says before his head falls to the side. R2 beeps and starts leaving. I look over and see Mace on his stomach. I move my hand to my lower stomach and try to put my hand onto the wound but can't. The metal is blocking the wound from my hand. I hear something falling dully in underneath us.

I then hear both Anakin and Mace groan after a little. I strain my head backwards and to the side and see Mace flipping over. "Skywalker. Skywalker, are you all right?" Mace asks. "Where's Iko?" I look at them through slowly darkening vision. I reach a hand out and see that my normally tanned skin was now a pale brown. I hit the floor as hard as I could. Which only made a soft thud, I'm losing a lot of blood. Hopefully help arrives soon. I thought. They look over at me.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Except I can't move. But Iko *coughs* isn't doing well. She's injured. Can you get free?" Their voices slowly come from farther away. They groan as Mace tries using the force. Chunks start to come down and he pushes them behind him and to the side. I gasp quietly as a piece just barely cuts my head as it lands to my side.

"I already tried that. You'll bring the whole place down on us!" Anakin looks over at Mace. "You almost hit Iko as well. She's already losing enough blood as it is."

"How do we plan on getting ourselves out of this mess?" Mace asks looking between Anakin and me. I hit the floor again with my hand before my entire vision goes black.

"Don't worry." I look behind me to a pale Iko and see her hand do one last hit before stopping. Her eyes are closed. "IKO!" Iko groans slightly but still remains unconscious. "I already sent R2 back to the fighters to call for help. I'm sure he has everything under control" I say calmly, but really I'm worried about if Iko's going to make it. I don't fear about Mace or me not making it, I have confidence that we will get out with the Temple's help.

But Iko has wounds that are bleeding so she's losing blood. Hopefully helps doesn't delay long. Mace looks away from me and thinks to himself. We stay quiet, thinking to ourselves. Suddenly there's shaking around us. "We're running out of time." Mace says to me seriously. He looks over to Iko, concern in his eyes.

"Ugh! I hate just sitting here. We should be trying to save Iko's life!" I say irritatedly. I throw my head back in exasperation, I then cough again from the smoke.

"Calm yourself, Skywalker. We'll soon see if the faith you put into that droid is worth it." Mace said calmly.

"I don't like the sound of that." I say. We look above as two ships fly by. "R2?" I ask confused.

"I thought your astromech was supposed to call for help, not take off and leave us here." Mace says.

"Come on R2. I'm counting on you." I say and then cough again. I let my head fall back. Mace groans softly beside me as he shifts slightly to the side. After a little while of silence Mace sticks out his hand. I look behind us and see the helmet.

R2 rushes through the doors into the Jedi Temple's conference room. "This should prevent Grievous from-" Plo gets cut off by R2 falling down the stairs and landing on his face (?urm sensor?).

"R2?" Ashoka, or Snips, asks confused. R2 beeps thanks when Snips lifts R2 up correctly and then immediately goes to the droid at the counsel. He pushes the droid away and they then start pushing each other trying to get to the counsel. Snips goes between them, pushing them apart. "Stop it!" Snips shouts to them. "R2, what's wrong?" She kneels down while asking the question.

R2 beeps and Plo looks down at her.

"Ahsoka, you know this droid?" He asks her.

"It's Anakin's droid, R2-D2." She explains. He then kneels down to him

"Well, then, R2, deliver the message you so obviously need to communicate." R2 beeps while Plo stands up. R2 then connects to the counsel and a hologram comes up. It's Anakin underneath rubble stuck. He then starts talking to R2.

"I need you to go back to the fighters and call the temple for help, okay? *more coughing* Okay!?" Plo and Snips look at each other.

"Prepare my ship.-" Plo starts but R2 interrupts him.

"He says there's more. And that it's important." Snips replied for R2. Anakin seems to be looking behind R2.

"And hurry, Iko there seems to be injured badly." Anakin says. The hologram changes to show a girl in her teens looking at Anakin. She's crushed beneath metal and there seems to be some kind of liquid surrounding her. "Blood." Snips whispered. R2 stopped the hologram.

"Prepare my ship. We shall leave immediately. Get some medical supplies also." With that Plo and Snips walk off.

XXX Anakin's POV XXX

We hear explosions below us and I hear Iko groan then gasp. Mace pulls the helmet to him and looks at the damaged helmet. Half of it is gone while the other half is dented, burned and cracked. "Whose helmet is that, anyways?" I ask coughing slightly.

"It belongs to a bounty hunter I killed on Geonosis by the name Jango Fett." Mace says still looking at the helmet.

"You mean the clone template?" I ask.

"Yes. Strangely enough, he had a son-or at least a clone he regarded as a son." Mace explains. He takes a deep breath before continuing. "His name is Boba Fett." Mace looks at me.

"I remember now. Obi-Wan listed him in his report on Kamino." I look over to Mace. He continues to stare at the helmet. I quickly look back to Iko and see her move slightly and gasp that turns into a groan. She seems to get paler with every second. I then look back to Mace.

"Boba was on Geonosis when his father died. He watched as I killed him." Mace shakes his head.

"That would complicate things." I reply nodding my head in his direction.

"Indeed." Mace says looking away from the helmet. He looks back at it. We hear an explosion. getting louder as it comes to us. We both start coughing and I hear Iko cough slightly. I look and see Iko opening her eyes slightly. "Your astromech has been gone too long. He must have failed to deliver your message."

"R2 will come through. *coughs* Are you okay Iko?" I look to her again and hear a faint cough.

"Yeah…" Came the soft reply.

"Don't worry. Help will come." I reply, I see her nod faintly. Over the bridge groaning and cracking we hear a faint sound in the distance. We cough some more as more smoke comes up.

I faintly hear talking in the distance. I look out the gap and see a ship. "Don't worry Iko, help is on the way." I mutter softly.

We hear thunks. "Hold tight, General." I see Commander Wolffe above us. They start pulling the metal up.

"Wait. Get Iko…*coughing* first. She needs help immediately." I say to the troopers. Commander Wolffe let's go and heads over to where Iko is. I hear him struggling.

"General, I need help. The metal on top of Iko is too heavy." I hear Wolffe yell to the ship.

"I got it!" Someone else comes up and helps Wolffe. Meanwhile the trooper with us finally gets the metal off us and helps us out. I look behind and see Iko being carried by Wolffe. Snips comes over to me and helps me to the ship while the other trooper helps Mace.

As we walk to the edge the ship lowers. "Jump!" Someone yells. We then jump and a few troopers help catch us. We turn to see Wolffe clutching Iko to his chest while he's jumping.

"Cut the lines." Plo says. Snips then goes to the lines and cuts them. "Go!" Plo then yells to the pilot. We then start flying away with two other ships following us.

We fly from the ship and hear it explode as we fly to a safe distance.
