Chapter 2 High Speed Chase
After climbing near the top Adeana found a four setter speeder and a one person speeder.
"Who knows how to drive?" She asked, looking at her friends.
"I can." Justin said.
"Then you take this one and I'll take the smaller one."
As they climbed in Adeana looked around sharply, she sensed that some one was looking for them, more then just some.
"Follow me." She said as she started the engine.
Justin nodded and started his up also.
"We'll start out slow, so you can get the hang of it."
Again Justin nodded.
Slowly they exited the building, Adeana hopping that the owners of the speeders didn't come out any time soon. Taking the lead she wove expertly in and out of the traffic lanes, Justin right behind her, swerving a little more than her but doing alright. As Adeana felt ready they speed up a bit, where they were going she had no clue.
Anakin picked out a speeder with great care, making sure it had everything he needed in it. He finally picked a deep red one with twin engines and an open cockpit.
"Are you done now?" Obi-Wan asked his apprentice. "The others are ready to leave."
"I'm ready." Anakin said, his face glowing with the thought of action.
Obi-Wan got into the passengers seat and waved to those behind him.
With deft hands Anakin started the speeder and speed out of the landing deck, five other speeders following him.
"Now, where is our prey?" Anakin asked him self.
He opened up to the force and instantly sensed what he was looking for. He speed up and flew toward the source of the force disturbance.
"What are we here to do?" Anakin asked as he flew. "Kill them, capture them, make friends?"
"It depends on what they do, if there Sith then we will more then likely have to kill them. But if their friendly then we'll take them back to the Jedi Temple and try to figure out what's going on."
Obi-Wan said.
"Sounds good to me." Anakin said, cutting around a slow moving air bus.
"There they are!" Obi-Wan said, pointing to a four setter speeder.
"That's not where I'm getting the most disturbances." Anakin said, frowning. "I sense another person."
"Could that be your lone person?" Obi-Wan asked, pointing to a one setter speeder.
"Sure is." Anakin said, gunning the throttle.
"Warn me before you do that!" Obi-Wan yelled over the rushing wind, his face turning white.
"Tell the others to get the slower one, please." Anakin said.
Obi-Wan obliged.
"Yeah!" Anakin yelled. "Here we go!"
Obi-Wan looked up to see that the smaller speeder had shot forward, trying to get away from Anakin.
"Great, a high speed chase." Obi-Wan muttered.
Turning around Adeana saw the red speeder coming there way, followed by four others. Cursing under her breath she turned her radio on and spoke to the others.
"You keep going as if nothings happening, I'll try to get rid of them."
With out waiting for an answer she shot forward and to the right, hopping to get an upper hand by making the first move. She twisted and turned, went in and out of traffic, but the red speeder was right behind her the whole time.
"Fine," She said to herself. "If it's a chase you want, it's a chase you'll get."
With a frown of concentration Anakin pulled the throttle back and shot straight down, following the other speeder's moves precisely.
"Who ever it is there a good flyer." Anakin said aloud.
They kept plummeting down toward the ground, the wind howling against the speeders.
"Anakin! Pull up!" Obi-Wan said.
"Sorry master, I forgot you don't like flying."
"I don't mind flying, but what you're doing is suicide!" Obi-Wan yelled, just as Anakin pulled up not a foot from the ground.
Anakin laughed aloud and speed up, catching on the other speeder. Just as he was a yard from the back the pilot did something that even caught Anakin off guard.
All of a sudden the speeder slowed, causing Anakin to have to slam on brakes to stop from hitting it. With an expert twist the other speeder went upside down and flew that way right over Anakin's and Obi-Wan's heads. As it went over Anakin caught a glimpse of the pilot, all he saw was a human with black hair.
"That was neat." Anakin said as he hurriedly pulled the speeder around.
When he finally got the speeder around the other pilot was well ahead, dodging in between traffic.
"Now would be a good time to ask for help." Obi-Wan stated.
"Fine." Was all Anakin said, he had other things on his mind.
Turning on the radio Obi-Wan caught the last part of a transmission.
"-don't tell them anything."
Glancing over at Anakin Obi-Wan thought a moment.
"Do you think that could have been our person?" Obi-Wan finally asked.
"Possibly, try to talk to her."
"Her?"
Anakin glanced at Obi-Wan. "It sounded like a girl didn't it."
Shrugging Obi-Wan activated the radio.
"This is Obi-Wan Kenobi; I'm in the speeder behind you. We are not trying to harm you."
"Could have fooled me." Came the cool female voice back over the radio.
"Why are you running from us?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Well I wonder, could it possibly be that you're chasing me?" The female asked sarcastically.
Anakin looked over at Obi-Wan and broke out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Obi-Wan asked with a frown.
"Nothing master, nothing."
Turning back to the radio Obi-Wan continued to try and keep a conversation going.
"Why don't you just stop?" He asked.
"I would, but it seems as if you have my friends' prisoner."
"Let me talk to her." Anakin said to Obi-Wan.
"Be my guest." Obi-Wan said, taking over the wheel.
"Who are you?" Anakin asked into the radio.
"I was going to ask the same thing." The girl said.
"I'm Anakin Skywalker, now who are you."
"Why do you want to know?"
Now it was Obi-Wan's turn to chuckle.
"Not having any luck are you?" He asked his padawan.
"Not really." Anakin admitted. "I'm curious." He said into the radio.
"Adeana Moonrider."
"Where are you going, Adeana?" Anakin asked.
"I have no clue." Adeana said matter of factly.
"Are you furan to Coruscant?"
"You could say that"
"Well, if you stop running we'll stop chasing." Anakin said. "We really don't want to harm you."
"You're going about a strange way of showing that." Then Adeana's voice got quieter, as if she were talking to her self. "Damn it."
Up ahead the speeder had stopped and was hovering in one place, all around it were the other Jedi speeders. Obi-Wan pulled up into the circle and stopped beside the speeder with Master Yoda and Mace Windu in it.
"Luckily that was over quickly." Obi-Wan said.
Yeah! I got the next chapter up! Thanks for reading! We'll try and get the next chapter up in a couple of days, if not sooner.
