Chapter Three: Attack

Koon had just left the Coruscant atmosphere when the golden protocol droid returned with Obi-Wan. "How did you enjoy the tour, Obi-Wan?" Koon asked. "Wow!" Obi-Wan said excitedly. "This ship is so cool. I would live here for a couple of years if I could." Koon smiled. "Glad you like it." "Master Koon, may I be of service?" The droid asked. "No, that will be all for now." Koon said. "Yes sir." The droid said, wandering off. "So…" Obi-Wan said. "Where to?" "Wherever the Sith is." "How do you propose we find the Sith?" "If only we had one of those holographic battle droids on board." Koon said. "We could take a sample of the holographic picture and put it through my analyzing machine." "Is that the only way to track the device?" Obi-Wan asked. Koon pondered. "My arm." "What?" "My severed arm, do you still have it?" Obi-Wan grimaced. He slowly reached into his Jedi robes and pulled out a bloody alien arm. "Ugh." He said. "I better go take a shower." "Ok." Koon said. "But make it quick. I need you to run this through the analyzing machine. Until then, I'll land on an asteroid. As advanced as the Kel Dor species is, I can't fly with only one arm."

Obi-Wan made his way to one of the ship's 19 bathrooms. However, only 12 of those bathrooms had showers in them. Obi-Wan chose a glimmering bathroom. The walls were made of emerald, and everything shined. Obi-Wan peered into the shower. The walls were made of green glass and the showerhead was pure emerald. "I'm gonna enjoy this." Obi-Wan said with a smile.

Obi-Wan was done in a matter of fifteen minutes. He returned to the cockpit. "Ok." Koon said. "Take my arm to analyzing machine. Scan it for slash marks." "Will do." Obi-Wan replied. Carrying Koon's severed arm, he took it to the analyzing machine. He put Koon's arm in the slot, and pressed a button. "Scan this for slash marks." Obi-Wan told the analyzing droid. "Yes, sir." The droid replied. Obi-Wan waited five minutes. Suddenly, the slot popped open and out came Koon's arm. A screen next to the slot had words on it. Obi-Wan read the screen:

Slash marks on severed arm analyze report:

The slash marks were made by a sort of artificial lightsaber that is not real. The lightsaber was completely holographic. These lightsabers were teleported from a planet named Korriban.. there is nothing else to analyze.

"Then we have our destination." Obi-Wan said. He wandered back to the cockpit. "Ah, Master Kenobi!" Koon said. "Did you find out anything?" "Yes." Obi-Wan replied. "I couldn't find where the Sith actually is, but I know where the device is." "Where is it, then?" "The rocky planet of Korriban." Obi-Wan answered. "It's where the Sith were first discovered." "Uh oh." Koon said, grimacing. "That's not good. I just checked, we don't have one drop of fuel on board." Obi-Wan cursed. "We'll have to land on Tatooine and buy some fuel there." "Master, what about your severed arm?" "I know." Koon said. "I had trouble just getting us into space. K8 needs to install a robotic arm." "Should I fly us to Tatooine then?" "Yes, you do that." Koon said, already walking out of the cockpit.

Koon opened the door to K8's office, only to find a Battle Droid holding a blaster to Anakin's head. K8 was smashed against the wall, smoking and completely destroyed. A second Battle Droid came out and threatened Koon with his blaster. "Drop your weapon." The Battle Droid said. "I said drop it." Koon ignited his lightsaber and with one hand only, he slashed the two droids. "Thank you…" Anakin said. Koon saw that K8 had managed to completely heal Anakin before getting destroyed. "What happened?" "It's those holographic droids, Master." Anakin answered. "They're here, on this ship." "What!" Koon exclaimed. "That's impossible! The Sith doesn't even know we're on a ship!" "Well, apparently he does." Anakin said. "The Sith must be using the Force to see our actions. It's like a computer keylogger of the mind." "Only a highly skilled Jedi can do that." Koon said. "Master Yoda couldn't even do that. I highly doubt this Sith can do that." "Master Koon, is this a Force power of the Dark Side?" "Most likely. This is an emergency. I will do my best to install a robotic arm by myself." "Yeah, good luck…" Anakin murmured. "SILENCE!" Koon yelled. "Anakin—inform Master Kenobi that my ship is being attacked." Anakin almost laughed at how calmly Master Koon was taking this. "Yes, Master." Anakin bowed and left.

"MASTER!" Anakin screamed as he tore into the cockpit. "What? What happened?" Obi-Wan asked. "Our ship is being attacked by the holographic battle droids!" "WHAT!" Obi-Wan screamed. "How in Yoda's name did they find us?" "We're not sure." Anakin replied quickly. "One thing's for sure we need to fix this problem as soon as possible." "Any suggestions?" Obi-Wan asked sarcastically. "Uhh…" Anakin didn't have time to answer because Obi-Wan had already stormed out the door.

Obi-Wan ripped open the door to K8's medical office. Koon was lying on the ground struggling to install a badly-made robotic arm. Without anyone speaking, Anakin rushed over to Koon and helped him install the arm. "Master Koon!" Obi-Wan yelled. "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!" "Sit down and die?" Anakin suggested innocently. "SHUT UP!" Koon and Obi-Wan yelled simultaneously. "This is a Dark power, Obi-Wan." Koon said. "The Sith we are tracking has somehow found us. He must be a very powerful Sith. Not even Master Yoda could use the Force to see our actions." "We need to get to Tatooine quickly." Anakin said. "Obi-Wan—fly us there." "I will." Obi-Wan replied.

"Obi-Wan, we're making our final approach to the Tatooine atmosphere." Anakin said. "Very good." Obi-Wan said. "Did you find any more battle droids?" "Just a few wandering around the bathrooms." Anakin said. "These battle droids aren't very intelligent, you know. I tried going to the bathroom but saw a Super Battle Droid on the toilet." Obi-Wan laughed so hard he almost crashed the ship. "Then I lit my lightsaber and said, 'I'm going to kill you.' Then the droid said, 'Eeh, no problem.' And I killed him." "That'll become a story the Jedi will tell for years to come!" Obi-Wan said with tears in his eyes. "Woah! Master, look out!" Anakin yelled, pointing out the window. Obi-Wan had just flew into a sandstorm. "Oh, great." Obi-Wan mumbled. "Strap in." Anakin and Obi-Wan took seats, buckled their seatbelts, and leaned back. BOOM! The ship crashed into the hot sand. "Uh oh…" Anakin said. "What could possibly be wrong now, Anakin?" Obi-Wan asked. "I hope Master Koon's not too mad we practically destroyed the front of his ship." "He won't mind." Obi-Wan said mildly. "Come on, no time to waste." Anakin said. "We have to get to Mos Espa." "Mos Espa!" Obi-Wan exclaimed. "Anakin—we're on the outskirts!" "Master, didn't you do it like 15 years ago?" Anakin asked. "You walked to Mos Espa from the outskirts. In fact, that's where you met me for the first time." "Yes, well…" Obi-Wan mumbled. "Fine. We'll go to Mos Espa."
