Encounters

The shield door drops away, Obi-wan and Ran jump out of their starfighters, the starfighters crash on the deck of the hanger bay, engulfed in a fantail of sparks.

Obi-wan and Ran ignite their lightsabers while falling to the deck. As they hit the flight deck, droids immediately started to hit the ground due to the swift maneuvering of the Jedi's lightsabers.

A set of blast doors starts slamming shut across the hanger opening, as material is sucked into space. Anakin and Sona maneuver around the oncoming junk and fly into the hanger just as the blast doors slam shut. Anakin and Sona's ships crash and they calmly get out of their starfighters.

Anakin and Sona cut their way through to where Ran and Obi-wan are. Artoo pops out of the ship and follows the Jedi. Obi-wan yells out to Artoo "Artoo, locate the Chancellor." Anakin follows up with "Tap into the ship's computers." The four Jedi cut down the last of the droids and follow Artoo over to a computer wall socket.

The four Jedi fight off four more droids as Artoo tries to find the Chancellor. Finally, a hologram of the Trade Federation ship appears. Obi-wan points to a location on the holographic ship and says "The Chancellor's signal is coming from right there. The observation platform at the top of that spire."

Anakin feels a disturbance in the Force and says "I sense Count Dooku..." Sona replies "I sense a trap." "Next move" said Ran.

"Spring the trap" replies Anakin and Obi-wan smiling. The Jedi start to leave; Artoo follows them. The Jedi turn around as Anakin says to Artoo "Artoo, go back. I need you to stay with the ship." Obi-wan reaches into his pocket and pulls out a comlink "Here take this, and wait for orders."

General Grievous enters the bridge of the Trade Federation cruiser followed by his two bodyguards. He walks to the front of the bridge and stands in the front of the Neimodian Capatain. "What's the situation, Capatain" Grievous says almost as if it was a rhetorical question. "Four Jedi have landed in the main hangar bay" replied the captain. "Just as Count Dooku predicted."

The Jedi walk into a room and see Shaak Tisitting on the floor. General Grievous brushing his hand across her horn. "I'm sorry Master Kenobi, I've failed you" said Shaak Ti. General Grievous then speaks "Ah General Kenobi we've been expecting you. Stinking Jedi!"

Just as he says these words General Grievous stabs the Jedi through the neck with a lightsaber. The four Jedi ignite their lightsabers and get into a fighting stance. Suddenly about fifteen droids surround them. Acknowledging defeat Anakin and Ran power down their sabers. Sona and Obi-wan soon follow. Anakin looks at the droid general and says "That was a bad..."

"Mistake" said Sona finishing Anakin's sentence. Grievous coughs "A tragic ending for a gallant warrior, no doubt."

"Were here for a rescue Anakin, not mayhem" Obi-wan whispered to his friend. "I look forward to adding your lightsabers to my collection" said Grievous after he coughs. Sona and Ran look at their masters. Anakin wipes his lips and his mouth. "No, no" said Obi-wan.

"This is not a good time to argue master" says Anakin. "Might I suggest" Obi-wan takes his fingers and run them down his moustache.

"There's way to many for that" replies Anakin "How about." Anakin wipes his eyebrows. "Oh let's do that." The two students used a Force push to blow most of the droids away and then Anakin and Obi-wan use their lightsabers to cut a large hole in the floor. The Jedi cut their way down into a large generator room.

Huge explosions outside the ship have caused several large pipes overhead to break, and fluid is spewing everywhere. The Jedi get up and turn off their lightsabers. Anakin dips his hand into the fluid and sniffs it. Sona says "...fuel. The slightest charge will send this ship into oblivion. That's why they've stopped shooting. "Well then, we're safe for the time being" said Anakin.

Obi-wan in a sarcastic tone says "Your idea of safe is not the same as mine" as the Jedi start to walk off. As they run, explosions rattle the ship, and pipes continue to burst around them, spilling more fuel into the hallway. At the far end, six super battle droids drop into the fuel. The sounds of shield doors closing and locking echo throughout the hallway.

They pass several large power generators, which are topped with sparking excess power dischargers. "They're sealing this section off" said Anakin. "Six droids coming our way" replies Ran. The last of the doors can be heard closing in the distance. "Keep moving" Anakin told the students "there must be vents...This way."

The Jedi move along a wall. Anakin climbs up the side to a small vent. As the Jedi move the fuel gets closer to the sparking dischargers. "We'll never get through that. It's too small" said Obi-wan. They move toward a second vent. Ran is swimming in the fuel as it reaches within a couple yards of the ceiling. Anakin feels along the ceiling and finds another small vent. He closes his eyes and tries to sense an opening, then he moves on.

Ran and Obi-wan are forced into hand-to-hand combat with one of the Super battle droids. The droid pulls the two Jedi under the fuel. Just before they are about to drown, Obi-wan disables the Super battle droid by pushing him into an exhaust pipe. The Jedi are running out of time because as of now the fuel is up to the Jedi's chins. Sona finds a very, very small metal grate, then pounds on it until the tiny grate breaks loose. "I've found our escape vent, master" said Sona.

"Sona, this is no time for jokes. We're in serious trouble here" said Obi-wan. "Only in your mind, my master. Look, no structure..." said Anakin. Anakin grabs the side of the tiny hole and gives it a big yank, ripping a large panel loose revealing a "man-sized" work shaft. They scramble through it as the droids swim closer. The four Jedi pull themselves through the narrow vent shaft until they reach a small hatch in the side of the tube. Anakin says "Here's a way out."

As the Super battle droids reach the opening in the ceiling and the fuel gets to within a few feet of the power generator sparks, Anakin works the keyboard on the pressure lock, opening the latch. The four Jedi climb into a small passageway and slam the hatch shut. They make their way through the ever-shrinking shaft until they reach the end. A hatch opens in one of the main hallways of the Trade Federation cruiser, and the Jedi squeeze out, slamming the hatch, behind them. Anakin seals the hatch with his lightsaber. "That won't hold when the fuel hits those power dischargers" said Obi-wan. Sona responds with "The blast will break the hull. This side's pressurized." Anakin says "The best thing for having a padawan is I don't have to explain everything by myself." "You two still have much to learn" said Obi-wan.

The Super battle droids climb up the vent shaft. Several other droids wait in the generator room as the fuel continues to rise toward the power discharger. The fuel hits the sparking power discharger, and a huge explosion follows. A great explosion and a flaming gas cloud spray out of the side of the Federation cruiser. Boom! A large bugle appears in the hatch.

Obi-wan and Ran jump back, then stand amazed. "All right, you win. I have much to learn. Let's go" said Obi-wan. Anakin and Sona grin at Obi-wan, Ran, and they run down the hallway.

Just a reminder that some significant changes will have to be made in Episode 3, but I'll try to stay on track. Also it's GL's playground I just added a few things to it. Reviews are always good.
