A/N: Thanks to all of those who reviewed! I'm glad that you guys enjoyed it! But it has finally come to an end. Although I may write the final part three (if I do write it, it probably won't be for a while considering that fact that I'm hard at work on my other fanfic's) but that depends if you guys want me to or not. :-)
Anyways, thanks for reading!
Aayla had been in luck; she was able to board the ship without anyone seeing her. Now all she had to do was dispatch the remaining clones on board.
She quietly made her way to the cockpit, and there she saw five clones: one seemed to realize that they were not alone almost instantly, and he began to fire on her. But it was useless; for she blocked their shots with her light saber, and she dispatched them in no time.
Now she heard the sound of feet behind her, she turned around to see three more clones preparing to shoot her; she quickly sprung into action, and she killed them quickly before any of them had a chance to alert the other clones that an enemy was on board.
She searched the rest of the ship and was relieved to see that there were no other clones on board; she just had one last stage of her plan left-to go back for Obi-Wan and bring him on board; then they would be safe-safe at last.
But she knew that she had to act fast for other clones might by chance search the cave and if they found him they would kill him mercilessly without a thought; she soon exited the ship and made her way through the fungal trees and the various exotic plants until the cave exit was but a few yards away-she sprinted towards it, knowing that the end was near-there was light at the end of the tunnel; soon they would escape the clone-infested planet.

His eyes suddenly opened again-he tried to move again and found that he could make a few more movements then he could before he blacked out-but still he couldn't do it without feeling that terrible pain. But he knew one thing-he had to find Aayla, he couldn't help but think that she had been captured or worse. Although he was not strong enough to stand on his feet he knew that he had to find a way to save her-he had to if there was the slimmest chance that she was alive he would hold on to that and that would be his undying motivation to find her.
But where could she be?
That question continued to ring in his head; he in truth did not know but that did not matter to him; she was his friend and he was not going to let her at the hands of the merciless clones, -he would protect her and find a way to get her out of Felucia or he would die trying.

Aayla was now retracing her steps-and she was doing it swiftly-for there was no time to waste.
She seemed to have almost forgotten the pain from her wounds as she dashed through the tunnel.
She finally made her way back to the wall with the loose rocks; she swiftly removed more; cutting and scraping her hands in the process. She finally made her way through the enlarged opening, and quickly made her way through the maze-like cave, until she finally reached the large room-the room where her friend lay.
She rushed over to his side and found that he was awake.
"Aayla?" Obi-Wan asked, not sure if he was just seeing things, or if the friend that he thought was dead was really right before his eyes.
"Yes, it's me; I've come back for you. I've found a way to get us out of here!" she said, not being able to contain her emotions. She was overjoyed that she had been able to find their means of escape-but to return to find that Obi-Wan was awake, and not unconscious as she had left him was unbelievable.
Obi-Wan was now at peace-Aayla had found a way to escape, and she was alive-and safe. He didn't want to slow her down for he was sure that he didn't have the strength to walk.
"Aayla, I'm glad that you're safe. But you shouldn't have come back for me; I'll only slow you down and increase the risk of you getting caught."
"Don't talk like that; I'm not leaving you-you would do the same for me; you saved my life!"
"Just go on without me; I order you to do so."
"Then I guess that I'll have to disobey you," she replied stubbornly.
"I don't think that I can walk Aayla; it's no use," he said.
Aayla got the feeling that her persuasion was working by the tone of his voice. "Then you'll lean on me," she answered boldly.

It had no doubt been a bit awkward at first, but Aayla was stronger than she looked; and although Obi-Wan no doubt, weighed more than her, she carried his weight well.
They had quickly exited the tunnel, and after a little bit of walking, they rested briefly (for Obi-Wan's sake) against a large fungal tree.
"Where do we go from here?" Obi-Wan asked, after he had caught his breath.
"The ship is only a few yards away," Aayla replied calmly.
After Obi-Wan had rested for a few more minutes, they started out again; and now he could see it-the ship was in his view.
They hid behind large fungal plants as they watched for a moment to see if they were not alone. At last, when they saw nothing, they emerged into the open and boarded the ship. Aayla led Obi-Wan to one of the small quarters in the back and forced him to lay there and rest-for he needed treatment-and fast.
She made her way to the cockpit, and took a deep breath as she looked thethe controls-this was it. They had been successful in finding a way out.
Without a further thought she took hold of the controls and they left the planet of Felucia and set their course for Coruscant.
