The trip to Coruscant seemed to take forever. When she entered Coruscanti space the battle raging above the surface of the planet came into view. She was piloting her own ship, a moderately sized long range Alderaan craft. She did not have much in the way of weapons.
Amira did her best to weave and dodge everything coming her way. She was to report to the Jedi Council and that meant she had to make her way through the chaos to the surface. From what she could see this was the largest engagement between the Separatist and Republic forces to date.
With some difficulty she was able to fly her ship through the battle and down to the surface. When she walked into the Jedi Council chambers it was empty except for Master Yoda and Master Windu.
Amira bowed deeply, "Masters, you asked for my return." Yoda replied, "Difficult your journey must have been, good to see you it is." She nodded, "Yes, I've seen the battle first hand; any word on the Chancellor's whereabouts?"
Master Windu nodded, "He is being held on General Grievous' ship. Skywalker and Kenobi have located the ship and are in the process of a rescue." Amira asked, "Where do you need me?" Yoda replied, "Up there needed you are. Once they have the Chancellor escort to the surface they will require."
Amira again bowed deeply, "Of course. I will leave immediately." As she turned to leave the council chambers Master Yoda said, "May the Force be with you." She acknowledged both Jedi Masters with a nod, "And with you."
She left her Alderaan ship docked in the Temple hangar and boarded a one man Jedi Starfighter instead. She would need the weaponry and the maneuverability that the smaller Jedi craft afforded. After the power up sequence she engaged thrusters and headed once again towards the battle.
Back in the thick of the battle she had to fight her way through throngs of droid fighters, flying debris, and avoid getting caught in the crossfire of the Separatist and Republic cruisers. There had been other engagements of the Clone War, but none as intense as this.
She did not know which ship the Chancellor was being held on but she could sense Obi-Wan and she used that to home in on their location. As she drew closer to a large Providence Class Trade Federation Cruiser, she knew it to be the ship she was looking for.
It was in bad shape. As she pulled alongside it came under fire from a large Republic cruiser. She darted out of the way. Before she could contact the Republic Cruiser and tell it to disengage the damage was done. On fire and barreling towards the planet's atmosphere the Trade federation cruiser appeared to be out of control.
She pursued its rapid decent from behind. Then to her complete astonishment the ship broke apart, but somehow continued to fly. She pulled alongside and tried to sense Obi-Wan, "Are you alright. How can I help." His voice filled her mind, "It is good to hear you Amira. We are in a bit of a tight spot at the moment, but we have the Chancellor and Anakin is managing to keep this wreck flying."
Despite the uneasy feeling she had in the pit of her stomach. She knew no better pilot than Anakin Skywalker. If anyone could land that ship it was he. She reached out to him again, "I am going in with you; I'll be right on your port side."
All the way down to the surface pieces of the burning ship tore away. She had to dodge the occasional chunk of burning wreckage. Emergency Fire Speeders flew along side and attempted to dowse the flames.
His voice filled her mind again, "Back off Amira, I don't know what this thing will do when we hit, stay out of the way. There is nothing you can do." She veered off, "Ok, but I won't be far away."
When ship did hit it skidded for miles taking out anything in its path. When it finally came to a stop it sat tilted and smoking. She flew around it on all sides. And kept watch until the rescue shuttle showed up. She glimpsed him briefly, her husband, as he, Anakin and the Chancellor boarded the shuttle.
