First of all, I just want to warn you all that… you aren't getting any Hannah-with-light-saber-action in this story. I thought that the duel with Darth Maul only needs Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to be involved, and Hannah would just get in the way. And I also want to continue building a strong relationship between her and Anakin, so… guess where she's going! But don't worry- she'll be fighting Count Dooku with the boys in the next story.

Chapter 14- The Battle Over Naboo

Everyone in the group but Jar Jar and the Gungans were now walking towards the Central Plaza in Theed. Let's just say that Hannah wasn't too thrilled with her instructions from Qui-Gon…

"I have to baby-sit Anakin- again?" she whined.

"It's not babysitting if the boy is 28 years older than you." Qui-Gon pointed out.

"But why can't I come with you guys?" the girl complained.

"It's much too dangerous," the Jedi told her. "You've only been training with the Jedi for a month, so your skills aren't quite up to par yet."

"If we run into that Sith Lord again, then there's no way that either Master Qui-Gon nor I could protect you." Obi-Wan added.

"He has a good point, Hannah." Qui-Gon agreed. "Stay with Anakin; you can come with us next time.

Hannah sighed and nodded. It was pointless to argue for any longer.

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

Once the group ran into the hanger, battle droids shot at them. Anakin, Hannah, and Stitch all ducked behind a star fighter. Anakin climbed into the cockpit, and Hannah and Stitch hid behind him. They watched as the rest of the group ran to the huge doors at the end of the hangar. Just as they were about to enter, the doors slid open, and there stood the mysterious enemy from earlier- Darth Maul. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan got out their light sabers, and began attacking him. At that same moment, destroyer droids surrounded the rest of the group.

"What are we going to do?" Anakin asked frantically.

R2 tried to yell something to him, but the boy didn't understand.

"What's he saying?" Anakin wondered.

Thankfully, Hannah had seen Star Wars enough times to comprehend R2's language. "He said, 'try a trigger and take down the droids!'" she translated.

"Of course!" Anakin exclaimed. He pressed a trigger, and began shooting at the droids. He didn't notice Hannah slipping off the ship and falling to the ground.

"You couldn't wait until I got off the ship, could you?" she groaned, massaging her sore bottom.

At that moment, the star fighter's engine ignited, and it took off towards outer space- with Anakin and R2 in it!

"Ooops." Stitch said.

Hannah was much more concerned. "Ooops! That's all you can say! I was supposed to be watching that kid, and now I just let him go into battle!"

"Relax! We have transport too!" Stitch assured her.

"What are you talking about?" Hannah asked, confused.

Stitch reached into Hannah's pocket and pulled out the little twig, which was the Firebolt 3000.

"Stitch, that's just a broomstick!" the witch reminded him. "We can't find Anakin with that!"

"Forgot about something, didn't you?" Stitch asked, pointing to one of the broom's buttons with his paw. It read Space Travel Controls.

"Obviously I have…" Hannah admitted, now remembering that she hadn't used the broom in at least two months, and had forgotten that special button. "I can't fly a broom, though. At least not in space!"

"No problem- Stitch fully trained in space travel!" the alien told her with a smile.

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

With Hannah sitting behind him, Stitch flew the Firebolt 3000 towards the Trade Federation battleship. The broom's bubble shield came in handy, because when they reached the battle, droid fighters were shooting at them left and right.

Anakin was pretty easy to find- he was the starship that had no clue what he was doing.

"There you guys are!" Anakin called through the broom's transmitter. "What took you so long?"

"Never mind that! Let's get out of here!" Hannah shouted back.

"What do you think we've been trying to do?" the boy exclaimed. Hannah and Stitch then heard shouting, and watched the starship slide into the hangar.

"Stitch! Follow them!" Hannah ordered.

"Aye try, but won't be pretty…" the alien warned her. He flew into the hangar, but hit the ground too hard with the bubble shield. They bounced up, down and around the hangar…until it hit the pointy tail of the star fighter. The bubble popped, and the broom and its passengers fell to the ground.

"Force dammit!" Hannah cursed, now hurting her buttocks for the second time in one day.

She then noticed the battle droids coming closer to them.

"Double dammit!" the witch cursed once more.

One droid was about to shoot, but Anakin was able to blast it away. He continued shooting the droids... until he accidentally launched a torpedo towards the main reactor.

"This is just my opinion… but I think it's time to go!" Hannah called up to Anakin.

"Couldn't agree with you more!" Anakin exclaimed. He began to turn the ship around.

"Hannah, the steering doesn't work!" Stitch cried. "We can't leave!"

Hannah thought about this quickly, and came up with a clever plan.

"Just sit down, put the shield up, and hang on tight!" Hannah told the alien. Stitch set the shield up and sat down, but Hannah laid her stomach down on the broom.

"I just hope this works…" she muttered, and tried pushing the ground with her hands. The broom started moving quickly, and once it was at the right speed, Hannah stood up. She then used the rest of her body to navigate through the hallways. She was now performing fantastic moves that she could never do just by steering the broom normally.

"Wow, Hannah!" Anakin shouted through the transmitter. "I didn't know you were such a great pilot!"

"A pilot? Yeah, right!" Hannah remarked. "I'm a California surfer!"

The two friends blasted through the hangar's entrance, and flew towards Naboo, paying no attention to the battleship exploding behind them.

Okay, so that last line from Hannah was pretty cheesy, but I couldn't help it! R & R please! The final chapter is up next, and should be posted today:-)
