She followed him until they reached a large space near the entrance. There were already a few clones in that area; they immediately began to fire at both Obi-Wan and Aayla. But the blasts dissolved into nothingness, thanks to their light sabers. Obi-Wan slew them and turned to Aayla. He had hoped that she wouldn't follow him-it was too dangerous for her, she had just been badly wounded by clones, and it was mere luck that caused him to find her when he had. He wasn't about to let her die,

"More clones will be here soon," he said. "You're not safe here; I can take them myself. Go back-''

Before he could finish, more clones came in-at least twenty, Aayla couldn't help being stubborn at times. She stayed and fought with him. But it seemed that the more they fought, the more clones would come, eventually; some of them began to surround Aayla, making it hard for her to block all of their shots. Obi-Wan saw this, and quickly dispatched his remaining enemies, and rushed to her aid.

They continued to fight the clones, and the deafening shots of the blaster guns could be heard miles away. When it seemed that they had killed the last of them, Obi-Wan turned to her.

"You aren't safe here!" he said, almost yelling. He had a feeling that more clones would soon be on their way.

"I'm not leaving you," replied the stubborn Jedi. She was not allowed to leave him in danger-not after-not after he had just saved her life.

Soon, they began to hear more clones approaching. "Aayla, you must leave, more are on their way, and in much greater numbers. I am sure of it; I will not give them another chance to kill you," he said.

"The feelings are mutual; I will not leave, knowing that your life is in danger," she said, eyeing the entranceway, waiting for clones to enter at any moment.

"I can distract them so that you will escape safely; you are still wounded. You must escape. It is for the best-trust me."

Before Aayla could reply, more clones stormed the building, and Obi-Wan was right, they were in greater numbers.

Obi-Wan wished that she would have listened to him, she would have been running to safety at that very moment. But she had stayed, nonetheless, and he had to keep an eye out for himself, and her; she was still wounded, and because of that could not fight as well as she once did.

There were still at least ten clones left. And it seemed to happen so fast through Aayla's eyes; she had just dispatched the remaining clones that she had been fighting; she looked over just in time to see Obi-Wan drop to his knees, and then collapse onto the hard cave floor; thinking quickly, Aayla quickly dispatched the remaining clones, and rushed to Obi-Wan's side; he was bleeding, bleeding badly. And Aayla knew why: he had been shot.
