A/N: Sorry for the delay, I've been working on a new project. Probably by Ch. 8 it'll be finished.

"Let's go, Maya, we have to hurry!"

"Ok." They were leaving to go to Cato Neimodia, where leaders of the Trade Federation were believed to be hiding. They were not alone, some other Jedi were coming as well, just in case. She couldn't wait to blast some druids to smithereens.

"It's more of a negotiation mission, sorry."

"Dangit." But she did like the fact that just in case of an emergency, they would be using swoop bikes.

It didn't take long to get to Cato Neimodia, and it looked pretty much deserted. "Not a good sign. Stay close, Maya, I think they knew we were coming."

"Maybe I'll get to kick some droid butt after all." They proceeded to a large building, but a droid security guard stopped them.

"State your business."

"We want to see the leaders of the Trade Federation. We have a proposition for them." Of course there was no proposition, Adi and Maya were just passing off as friendly and willing to help.

"We know what you're up to. Hands up, Jedi."

"Now." Maya took her cue and one flash of light later; the guard was reduced to nothing more than a pile of parts. They turned around to find that the other Jedi had come out of hiding and were fighting the droids that has also come. Maya ignited her lightsaber and swiftly sliced any droid that came her way.

Droids had cornered Obi-Wan and Anakin at the edge of a high cliff. Obi-Wan was fighting off as many as he could, but he could see Anakin wasn't going to be fast enough to stop them all. He was doing fairly well, but there were so many. "Anakin! Be careful over there!"

¤

Master Gallia saw Obi-Wan on the cliff. "Uh oh. Looks like he's got his hands full up there." Obi-Wan was a good friend of hers; she hoped nothing happened to him. Maya was seeing the same thing.

"Master! That boy's about to fall off the cliff! I have to save him!"

"Obi-Wan and his Padawan can take care of themselves, Maya! Concentrate on your own duties!"

"But Master, I have to. The Force is telling me."

¤

"Anakin! NO!" Anakin lost his balance when a droid was about to shoot him, and he tumbled off the rocky cliff.

"Masteeeerrrrrr!"

Maya jumped on a swoop bike and zoomed away at full power. She quickly dodged all the blaster bolts and knocked any droid in her way to the side. The only advantage of the cliff being really, really big was that it gave Maya more time. With a small dip, she absorbed the boy's momentum and caught him just before he hit the rocky ground.

"Dude. You're not dead. Wake up, and hold on tight!"

"Wha—whoa!" Anakin grabbed on to his rescuer as they sped off toward a small clearing. They were going so fast that Maya had to make a U-shaped turn up then down a small cliff!

"Whee! Isn't this fun? It's like a rollercoaster!"

"Yea! This is sort of like podracing!"

"What the heck is podracing?" They soon came to the clearing, and stopped behind a hill, hidden from view. "I can't believe I was able to save you! Are you alright?"

"Miraculously, I'm fine. Thank you. Who are you anyway, and why did you rescue me?"

"Maya Lavelle, Master Gallia's Padawan. I rescued you because the Force sort of told me. Weird, I know. And you are?"

"Anakin. Anakin Skywalker."

"Nice to meet—" Maya looked around, and found that they had been surrounded by droids. "Run!"

"What about you?"

"I'll manage. I hope."

"We've got you now, Light Girl."

"Light Girl? How cheesy is that" Maya called on the Force and absorbed it all around her. She made a sweeping, circular motion and a ring of light sliced every single droid in half.

"WOW! That was amazing!" Anakin said from the swoop bike, "How'd you do that?"

"Uhh, long story. Actually, that was the first time I've ever done that. I have this special Force power of light, and I really think it's learnable, though. C'mon, let's go, I bet Master Kenobi will be happy to see you."

The battle had ended; the Jedi had overthrown the droids and searched everywhere, but found out that the Trade Federation leaders had received word that they had arrived and fled. Adi ran over to Obi-Wan and told him what happened to his Padawan. "Maya is a very good swoop bike pilot; she had a very good chance of catching him. But for some odd reason, she said the Force urged her to save Anakin."

"I just hope he's alright. I should've protected him better." Just then Maya and Anakin whizzed past on the bike.

"Yee haw! Hey Master Kenobi, I got Anakin!"

"Anakin! You're safe! Oh, thank you Maya, what would I ever have done without you!"

"Anytime."

"Master, did you see all those droids fall in that one spot over there? Maya did that!" Anakin explained Maya's "Light ring".

"Yea, you kinda get used to it after a while, doing new crazy things all the time. Anyway, everybody else is leaving; I say we all just go home. I want to show you guys my room!"

"That big yellow one with the window? I've seen it, Adi showed it to me. The most unique room in the Temple."

"Thanks. I try."
