Alright, here is another Chapter. Thanks to my reviewers, and especially the one who pointed out the whole Yoda thing to me. I'm sorry... I wasn't thinking, and I was too excited to get this out to correct myself. Thanks for pointing that out to me, though. I appreciate that very, very much. Once again, thanks for the reviews, and enjoy this chapter.
Life is no fun without taking Chances
Chapter Two:
Serenity mentally cringed as she saw how many droids were blocking the controls to the force field.
Anikan and Obi-Wan didn't seem too overly concerned as they were discussing what to do under their breaths.
Looking around Serenity reflected on when she had previously been to this particular planet. She promptly quit, as thinking of her Master saddened her.
But, oh, what wonderful times they had together, what adventures.
Flashback
"Why did I let you talk me into this?" screamed Master Dromida as they fell down a chute leading to who knows where.
As it stood they were escaping from some egg headed Sith Lord, who had hardly been aware of their escape until just a few minutes ago.
Serenity grinned. "Because it's fun!" she yelled back, and they soon landed on their ship that was waiting for them at the end of the chute.
As soon as they got back on, Dromida turned to Serenity and shook her head sadly. "When are you ever going to learn, Serenity?" she asked.
Serenity shook her head. "I wasn't aware that I needed to," she replied, grinning lopsided, much as her brother always did. "Besides, we're safe now, aren't we? That's all that matters, isn't it?"
Dromida shook her head and sat down on one of the padded chairs and held her abdomone. "Next time, don't be so wreckless, Serenity. That was serious." she replied sadly.
"But, Master," she protested. "If I was not indeed so wreckless, as you love to call it, they would have killed you."
Dromida looked at Serenity with a sad smile. "Maybe it was my time to go," she said, cringing as she took her hand off of her bloody lower body.
Serenity's eyes filled with tears. "How can you say that?" she asked. "How can you give up so easily? How can you give up hope?"
"Serenity," said Dromida, looking at her. "You're letting your emotions overthrow you. You know better than that."
Serenity sat on the chair next to her. "I can't help it," she said. "The only one I have now is you."
"You have Anikan," replied Dromida, smiling. "You two are so much alike."
Serenity shook her head, and stood up. "I won't accept this. This is not your time, do you hear me? This isn't your time to go!" and, with that said, she went into her room and slammed the door shut down tight.
Dromida shook her head, but didn't have much time to brood on this as she heard a rather disturbing sound outside. "Serenity, I think they've found us!" she yelled at the young girl and stood up and grabbed her ligthsaber.
Serenity came right of her room and grabbed her own lightsaber off of the table and charged it up. "Master," she said, looking at her Master and friend. "You can't possibly fight like that."
"You don't have enough experience," said Dromida impatiently, shaking her head. "I don't have time for you getting in my way."
Serenity looked at her with a cold glare. "Well, I'm going to be in the way a lot, now lets go." she said.
There were hundreds of droids swarming where they were. Serenity looked around and glared. This was going to be hard, especially if she was not going to let her Master fight.
One of the droids blasted, she blocked and off went it's head. Soon thereafter she set to work chopping up droids, while not letting her Master get the chance to do anything.
"Serenity!" scolded her Master coldy as she realized what her young apprentice had done. "I can to-"
Serenity took her Master's arm, pulled her into the ship, then closed the loading door firmly. "We're getting off of this planet." she said. "I can't stand to be here a moment longer. Besides, look what it's doing to us."
They took off and headed back for home, neither one talking, to upset with each other to utter a word and too angry to swallow their pride.
Finally they got to the Jedi Temple where they were to give their report. Serenity finally coolled off a little bit. "I'm sorry, Master. I didn't mean to yell at you like I did."
Dromida smiled. "Nor did I, so I guess we're even?" she said.
Serenity nodded and smiled. "Even,"
End of Flash Back
Finally Anikan turned to her and noticed that she seemed to be deep in thought. "Serenity," he said, not wanting to bother her, but knowing he had to.
Serenity looked at him. "Who are you?" she asked, laughing at the look he gave her. She put her arm around his shoulders. "I'm just kidding. I know perfectly well who you are. You're the milk-man, aren't you?"
Anikan rolled his eyes, then turned to look at the droids with another of his lopsided grins. "This should be fun,"
Serenity shook her head, shaking out all thoughts of the droids before. "So says you,"
"Surely you've dealt with droids before?" commented Obi-Wan to Serenity.
She nodded. "Yes, but not in such large numbers,"
"This should be a treat for you, then." replied Obi-Wan, grinning, charging up his own lightsaber, instructing Anikan and Serenity to do the same.
She pulled out her lightsaber and charged it up while looking at the droids.
"Ready?" Anikan asked her.
She nodded. "Ready as I'll ever be," she muttered.
Then they charged forward, catching the droids unawares.
With a graceful spin of his lightsaber, Anikan deflected a blast from several of the droids, then promptly removed their heads.
Him and Obi-Wan stayed within close range of each other, getting twice the job done.
Anikan glanced over to Serenity to make sure she was okay; he was slightly surprised to see how very well she was doing.
Using her Force sense to guide her, Serenity twirled her lightsaber and deflected five of the droids' blasts. Doing a rather graceful move that her previous Master taught her, Serenity swiped off all five heads at once.
Then, noticing something, her eyes widened as she realized just what that was in front of her. There was Anikan's lightsaber, but no Anikan!
Looking around, Serenity frowned. No Obi-Wan either!
Uh-oh! thought Serenity, standing in a room full of droids.
Meanwhile...
Anikan was falling down a chute that he didn't even know was there. Sooner than expected, the chute ended dumping Anikan out on the cold, hard floor.
Obi-Wan was having a similar experience. There he was, fighting off the droids, and then the chute opened up and he fell right into it. He too was dropped on the cold hard floor.
Meanwhile...
She twirled and got a few more droids down. Then she noticed something that the droids were keen on blocking. The controls to the force field. Running and doing a front flip over the droids, Serenity had just enough time to roll on the ground, hit the button and be amazed as she was dropped into a chute that... surprisingly didn't drop downward. It sucked her upward!
Serenity thought that that was the weirdest feeling she had ever yet experienced as she was dropped onto the floor below her. "Oh, goody. What now?" she asked herself.
She looked ahead and saw the corridor leading onward towards the place where she assumed she needed to be to go up another few levels. "That's too easy," she muttered once again to herself. She looked on the wall. The number 2 was brightly illuminated on the wall. She decided she was on the second floor.
Turning back to the corridor, she took one of her gloves out of her cloak and threw it in the corridor. Instantly blaster fire filled the room until it had disintegrated her glove.
"What have I gotten myself into?" muttered Serenity, shaking her head.
Okay, so, R&R and tell me what you think of that chapter. I know, I'm mean and left you with a cliffie. I know what I'm going to do, but if anybody wants me to put anything in here, I'm open to sugesstions. I appreciate you're reviews, and thanks a lot.
