Hagrid lead the newcomers to their ship. The Twilight had crashed at the edge of the forbidden forest, narrowly missing Hagrid's hut and ripping many trees from their roots. Smoke was still bellowing from the engines when the group arrived.
"There she is." Said Hagrid. "I've never seen anything like it."
"What this bucket of bolts?" Laughed Anakin. "I'm surprised that it's lasted as long as it has." Hagrid looked perplexed. They neared the ship only to become aware of a vague humming sound.
"Master," Cut in Ashoka, "The rear deflector shields are still up, we can't enter."
"Don't worry my young padawan." And with that Anakin initiated his lightsaber and jammed it into a small control panel on the back. The humming seised.
"Don't worry I'll repair it later." Anakin said before Ashoka could protest.
"What was 'at light thing you just used?" Hagrid looked taken aback. "It cut through 'at metal like air!"
"It's called a lightsaber and it's used by the Jedi in battles." Anakin said as he jumped aboard the Twilight. Asoka followed.
Sparks rained down and dirt and metal littered the ship floor.
"Get a damage report." Anakin said to Ashoka as he looked for the droids. R2 was lying on his back, offline, covered in shrapnel. Anakin switched the little blue droid on and was met with a few beeps as R2 righted himself.
"The ship is 35% damaged, but nothing major has been hit, so it shouldn't take long to repair, Master." Reported Ashoka
"Good-"
"Master?" Anakin was cut off by a metallic voice.
"3PO." Anakin muttered and he removed a sheet of debris that was lying propped up against the wall of the Twilight. Underneath the debris lay the golden droid. Anakin helped the droid to his feet.
"Thank you, Master Skywalker." The droid continued, but Anakin didn't take much notice.
"Ashoka, are the landing gear still functioning?" Anakin questioned.
"Yes, Master."
"We need to get this ship on it's landing gear, if we're to start fixing anything yet." Anakin said.
"But how? The engine's won't start." Ashoka protested.
Anakin walked over to the cockpit and stood on the pilot seat. He reached up and removed a metal panel, revealing some loose wires that were sparking dangerously. Anakin then proceeded to rewire and bypass the sparking wires. He jumped down from the seat.
"Try it now." Anakin said walking away from the cockpit. The engines rumbled and ignited, jolting the ship, but both Ahsoka and Anakin knew that the engines were to weak to lift the ship from its crater.
"Where are you going?" Ashoka quired as Anakin began to walk away.
"You know those engines won't lift the ship, I'm going to help."
"No.. Master," Ashoka begged. "You can't lift the ship by yourself."
"I'm not, the engines are running, besides I've lifted Starfighters before, what's the difference."
Ashoka scowled, she knew there was no reasoning with her master.
"I'll give you the signal to put the landing gear down, ok?" Ahsoka nodded.
The Twilight began to shake and shudder as the engines began to lift the Twilight.
Hagrid watched in awe as the ship began to rise from it's earthy grave. As the Twilight groaned, Anakin raised out his arms supporting the freight ship.
"Now!" Anakin yelled and in response, the metal feet of the ship lowered. Anakin slowly dropped the ship to the ground. The engines ceased and the cargo bay doors opened. Ahsoka walked out followed by two droids.
"See, there was nothing to worry about." Laughed Anakin as Ahsoka walked over to him.
"I never doubted you, Master." Ahsoka said sarcastically. Hagrid began to run over to the pair, who stared at C-3PO and R2D2.
"What are those?" Hagrid asked, dumbfounded.
"These are-" Anakin was cut off.
"I am C-3PO Human Cyborg relations. I am fluent in over six million languages and this is R2D2."
"They're droids." Finished Anakin. "You don't have any here?"
"Muggles 'ave some robots, but nothin' like these. Are they dangerous?"
Anakin laughed.
"They're harmless, but R2 can be a little… touchy sometimes." R2 beeped in protest.
"What's a muggle?" Ahsoka asked the half giant.
"Muggles are non-magical folk, but they live far from 'ere."
"They pose a threat to you?" Anakin asked. Hagrid looked distant.
"Eh, muggles don't really like wizards, they never 'ave."
The trio began walking back to the castle.
"Dumbledore has given you yer own rooms, oh and he wants to see you later, Anakin. I'd best get back to the Thestrals." And with that Hagrid began to walk back to his hut.
