Chapter 12
The pilots were standing around, trying to figure out who blow the battle station up. A lone fighter flew into the hanger bay and landed. The pilots went over to see who the pilot was. The cockpit opened and a blond hair boy popped up.
"Anakin?" Ric Olié exclaimed.
"Am I in trouble?" Anakin asked.
"You were the one who destroyed the battle station?" asked Bravo Two.
"I didn't mean too." the boy replied.
All the pilots and ground crew stared in amazement at Anakin. A noise behind them snapped back to the present. They turned to see Amidala, Panaka and others heading towards them. With the help of Ric Olié, Anakin claimed out of the fighter.
"Report, Captain." Amidala asked Ric Olié.
"The battle station has been destroyed. Thanks to Anakin here." answered Ric Olié.
"Anakin?" The queen was shocked. "It was you who shot the destroyer droids."
"I was only trying to help." the boy said.
"Thank you, Anakin." Amidala said with a smile.
"Has anyone seen the Jedi?" Panaka asked looking around.
"Not since the battle started." Ric Olié stated.
"The last we seen them, they were fighting that. . . creature." A guard added. "The one that attacked the ship."
Off to the side, movement called their attention. Everyone turned as Obi-Wan walked through the doorway to the power generator, carrying an injured and unconious Anya. Everyone was shocked. Amidala, Panaka, Anakin, Ric Olié and several others rushed over to them.
"What happened?" Amidala asked.
"She needs help right away." Obi-Wan said.
"Follow us." Amidala ordered as the group headed off towards the hanger bay entrance.
Anakin kept glancing up at Anya. One of her hands slipped off and was dangling down. The boy took a hold of it. He mentally crossed his fingers and prayed Anya would make it.
