Chapter 11

Anakin sat in his fighter, while the Jedi had a fierce battle with Maul. While, the droids were distracted by Anakin, Padme and her entourage made a quick exit. There were suddenly explosions around him as he realised that the droids were firing at him, "Oops...shield up! Always on the right...shields always on the right." Anakin, not knowing what was what flipped several switches causing the after-burner to ignite.
"I know we're moving. I'll shut the energy drive down." he said. The fighter, though, rockets out of the hanger instead of stopping. Anakin and R2 hang on. "Oops! Wrong one." R2 beeps. "I'm not doing anything!" Anakin reasons, as R2 beeps again, "I know...I didn't push anything."

As the Nubian fleet left the planet, they headed towards the space station. "Bravo Flight A, take on the fighters. Flight B, make the run on the transmitter." Ric Olie said.

"Roger, Bravo Leader." came the reply.

As the fleet approached the station dozens of fighters exited the hangers to attack.

"Enemy fighters straight ahead!"

As the fight ensues, Anakin flew into the space above Naboo with R2 beeping worriedly at him. "The Autopilot is searching for what other ships?" R2 whistled and beeped in reply. "There is no manual override, R2. You'll have to rewire it or something." R2 beeped, trying to do as requested. Anakin looked at the space station swarming with fighters, "Look! There they are! That's where the autopilot is taking
us." Anakin's fighter flew toward the battleship, suddenly finding himself in the middle of the space battle.

A ship blew up over his shoulder, "Whoo, boy! This is tense!" looking forward he saw enemy fighters approaching, "Oops! R2, get us off Autopilot!" R2 screeched in reply. "I've got control?" he asked as he flipped switches. "Okay, let's go left!" he said, making the ship turn left. "...I've got control. You did it, R2!" R2 beeped in question, "Go back! Qui-Gon told me to stay in this cockpit and that's what I'm going to do. Now c'mon!" As an enemy fighter approached Anakin pushed the controls and instead of firing he accelerated past the ship. "Oops! Whoa!" With the fighter on his tail Anakin tried evasive manoeuvres. "I'll try spinning, that's a good trick."

As the rolled R2 screamed as if he was about to be sick. "I know we're in trouble! Hang on! The way out of this mess is the way we got into it." Anakin held onto the controls, R2 beeping at him. "Which one? This one?" By yanking on the reverse thrusters the ship instantly slowed causing an enemy fighter to shoot past and crash into the station.

"Bravo flight...go for the central bridge." Ric Olie said.

"Roger, Bravo Leader." was the reply. The attack was useless.

"Their deflector shield is too strong. We'll never get through it." Ric Olie said.

At that point in time, Anakin was being tailed by another fighter, Anakin shrieked in his ear, "I know, R2! This isn't Podracing!" The enemy ship fired, sending his ship spinning and R2 screaming. "We're hit!" Anakin cried as they entered the hanger once Anakin had control of the ship. "Great gobs of bantha poo-doo!" Anakin swore, dodging the parked ships and large obstacles. With a huge bulkhead in the way R2 beeped manically. "I'm trying to stop! I'm trying to stop! Whoa!" Anakin said as he hit the reverse thrusters and skid to a stop in the hanger. R2 whistled worriedly in his ear.

"All right! All right! Get the system started!" Anakin said, bending to adjust the control panel. "Everything's overheated. All the lights are red."

R2 watched as droids approached and beeped madly.

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

Peaking over the edge of the cockpit Anakin saw droids surrounding the ship and ducked again. "Uh oh. This is not good." Looking at the dashboard, "The systems are still overheated, R2"

The captain walked over to the ship seeing R2, "Where's your pilot?"

R2 beeped in reply

"You're the pilot?" the droid said, disbelievingly.

R2 whistled. "Let me see your identification!" the droid said.

Anakin, seeing the lights go from red to green smiled, "Yes...we have ignition."

He flipped the ship and turned the engine back on. The droid saw Anakin doing this though, "You! Come out of there or we'll blast you!"

"Not if I can help it! Shields up!" Anakin said defiantly. As he flipped a switch the ship levitated, knocking the droid captain over. The other droids fired at him, but the shield deflected it. "This should stop them." Anakin said, firing his lasers, the ship rotating.

"...and take this!" he said, pressing a button launching two torpedos which missed the droids, "Darn...I missed!" Anakin said, watching their direction. He then saw them fly down the hallway and explode inside the reactor room. "Let's get out of here!" he said, knowing the station was about to blow up.

Anakin's ship flew though the hanger deck, bouncing over droids as it went. "Now, this is Podracing! Whoopee!"

Inside the main room of the Federation station, Tey Howe turned to Captain Dofine. "Sir, we're losing power... There is some problem with the main reactor…"

"Impossible! I don't…" the captain said as the bridge exploded.

----------

Ric Olie watched in amazement as the station started to explode from the inside.

"What's that? It's blowing up from the inside." a pilot said.

"I don't know, we didn't hit it." Ric Olie said.

"Look! One of ours! Out of the main hold!" another pilot pointed out, watching as a ship out of the hanger. All the ships returned to the hanger on the planet.

The pilots gathered round as they exited their ships, "He flew into the hold, behind the deflector shield and blasted the main reactor…" one pilot said.

"Amazing... They don't teach that in the academy." Another said watching Anakin's ship skid behind the other fighters. The pilots and the ground grew rushed to crowd the new hero, "We're all accounted for. Who flew that ship?"

Anakin opened the cockpit with a sheepish smile, the pilots staring on amazement.

"I'm not going to get into trouble, am I?" Anakin asked. R2 beeped.
