Author's note: Hey I actually wrote a chapter to this story!!! I don't know if anyone is still reading but if you are and you review I love you! And Padawan, I have added more Garen in this chapter just for you.
*Chapter 9
"Garen no!" Obi Wan screamed as his friend brought his orange blade down on the strange droid. Obi Wan immediately Force pushed his childhood friend out of the way as the robot exploded before their very eyes.
Siri used the Force to divert the wall of flames away from them as best she could; she began to grow weary due to the amount of power she was using. Obi Wan pushed Garen behind them and turned to help Siri in diverting the flames.
Garen removed his cloak and put out the flames that had found their way onto his clothing. "Did you see how easily I destroyed that droid? Wow, I am good." He stated sarcastically, receiving a harsh look from his companions who were still trying to hold back the fire.
"Well since you're so great why don't you find us a way out of here?" Siri asked, through gritted teeth, sweat dripping down her brow.
Garen quickly rose to his feet and searched the room for an escape. He noticed the flames eating hungrily at the walls of the museum and knew they didn't have much time left. He searched and searched starting to get nervous about the situation. He quickly called upon the Force and calmed himself down. Suddenly he had an idea.
"I have an idea." He called out as he ran back to Siri and Obi Wan. "But you're not going to like it."
"Why am I not surprised?" Siri asked, feeling her energy quickly draining.
"We'll follow your lead Garen." Obi Wan said. "Why does that scare me?"
Siri and Obi Wan let go of their connection to the Force and quickly ducked as a wall of flames rolled over their heads. They then followed Garen as he headed straight for the large window, jumping through it.
"Here we go again." Siri commented as she followed Garen.
The three Jedi suddenly found themselves falling; they didn't realize how many stories they had climbed. As one they pulled out their cable launchers and shot them towards the roof, once the cables tightened they found themselves hanging in mid air. Obi Wan then began to swing towards the window in front of them. Garen followed suit and Siri was next. All three crashed through the window, landing not as gracefully as they had hoped.
"Does anyone else think this mission isn't going as well as it should be?" Garen groaned, lying on his back.
"Well, if they didn't know we were here before, they do now." Obi Wan commented.
Garen coughed and rose to rest on his knees. "What makes you say that?" He asked, but his question was answered by six droidekas aiming blasters at them. "Oh you better be kidding." Garen sighed.

Anakin Skywalker raced down the halls of the museum, he was trying to remember the tour he had taken earlier, and silently cursed himself for not paying better attention.
'Your focus determins your reality.' He remembered Qui Gon's wisdom and frowned. He then called upon the Force to help guide him through the maze of exibits. He finally came to the large entryway and noticed there were no droids in the vicnity, he suddenly realized that he could run for help.
As he dashed for the glass doors he quickly found himself ducking for cover as the huge glass windows and doors shattered because of an explosion. He covered his eyes with his arms and tried to protect himself as best he could. He suddenly worried about the other students. He rose to his feet and felt himself being torn, he didn't know what was the best way for him to actually help his fellow padawans.
Before he could make up his mind he felt himself being roughly grabbed by the scruff of his neck. He turned and stared into two sky blue/almost white eyes. Anakin almost felt like the man's stare was burning into him. Aalto grabbed Anakin and stared down at him.
"Move boy." Aalto pushed Anakin towards a turbo lift, and found that it was no longer in operation, due to the explosion. Aalto frowned and pulled out his light saber, he then used it to unlock a service door that led to a dark stairway. "Start climbing." He commanded.
Anakin swallowed as he stared up the dark, rickety stairs that had to of been made when the building was built. He slowly obeyed and began to climb. He could feel Aalto right behind him, his lightsaber lighting the way for the two of them, Anakin's mind reeled with possibilities of escape, but found none. He began to feel alone, and that he was nothing more than a ten year old boy and not the chosen one. He was ashamed to admit it, but he needed help.
/Master!/

Marla unconsciously held onto Ferus as the explosion rocked the small room containing the Jedi children, he looked down at her and she quickly let go and blushed. Ferus felt a disturbance through the Force that he could no longer ignore. He rose to his feet, and looked back at the students who were trying to hold a brave face, and remember their teachings of the Force.
"Do you guys feel that?" Ferus asked. The others nodded slowly. They then were startled by the sound of Droidekas rolling down the hall and glass shattering. "We have to do something." Ferus stated, rising to his feet. He glanced back at Marla who was also on her feet along with the other students. Ferus smiled. "Let's go." He then led the group out of their hiding place.
********************************************
Obi Wan, Siri and Garen slowly rose to their feet, they found themselves staring at nine droidekas (three more had arrived) all with their blasters aimed at them. All three Jedi suddenly found themselves at their wits end, they didn't have any ideas and all were extremely exhausted.
Siri, breathing hard stared at the droids. "So now what?" She asked under her breath.
"I'm thinking." Obi Wan stated.
"Maybe we should offer them a sacrifice. . .Siri?" Garen tried to make light of the situation, pushing Siri towards the droids.
One of the droidekas saw the sudden movement and shot a bolt towards Siri and Garen, Siri quickly activated her light saber and deflected the shot back at the droid, to only be absorbed in the force field.
"I guess your saber is working again." Garen sighed a sigh of relief.
The three friends then found themselves defending against an onslaught of fire, they began to back into a corner. Obi Wan deflected another bolt and tried to find an escape, but before he came up with anything a very large statue came crashing down on top of four of the droids. Obi Wan, Siri and Garen had to jump out of the way as another large statue toppled ontop of the remaining five.
"Did you do that Obi Wan?" Garen asked as the dust cleared.
"No, although I wish I had thought about it." Obi Wan admited.
"Hey." Siri motioned to the shadows, pointing out the figures hiding. "It's ok, you can come out, it's safe." She called to the children.
Ferus came out into the light, and was followed by the other children. "Are you alright masters?" He asked.
"Masters, I like the sound of that." Garen whispered to Obi Wan, who was chuckling.
Siri knelt infront of Ferus. "We are fine, thanks to you." She glanced around at the other students. "How did you do that?" She motioned to the statues.
"We concentrated on the Force." Ferus answered, standing up straight. "Size matters not."
Siri nodded and rose to her feet. "So much for our grand rescue." She said, shrugging.
Garen and Obi Wan walked up to Ferus. "How did you guys get away?" Garen asked.
"Anakin Skywalker figured out a way to disarm the droids, we were able to slip away unoticed." Marla informed, Ferus had a look of disgust at the mention of Anakin.
Obi Wan scanned the group of kids, realizing that Anakin was not present. "Where's Anakin?" He asked, worry rising in his mind.
"He went to try to and locate a communications center to call for help." Marla answered, feeling bad when she saw the look on Obi Wan's face.
"Against better judgment." Ferus interjected.
Obi Wan nodded. 'Sounds like Anakin.' He thought to himself. "How long has he been gone?"
Marla shrugged. "A while." She answered, starting to worry about her fellow student.
/Master!/
Obi Wan suddenly closed his eyes, Garen and Siri looked at him curiously. "Obi Wan?" Siri asked, putting a hand on his arm.
/Anakin? Padawan, where are you?/ He called through their bond, but recieved no answer. Obi Wan's eyes snapped open and he looked at Siri. "Get them out of here, get them to safety." He then turned to leave.
"Obi Wan! Don't do anything stupid!" Garen called after his friend. He then turned back to Siri and the children. He sighed. "Round 'em up Tachi, I want to get back to my movie."
Siri shook her head, giving Garen a surprising smile. She was actually thankful for his humor on this mission. She began to gather the students, she glanced at the retreating figure of Obi Wan. Garen also looked at his friend.
"He'll be ok Siri." He assured her.
"I know Garen, I just have a bad feeling about this." She answered.
