Chapter Two

On Coruscant Master Yoda ran into some droids as more droid spilled from hyperspace and continue to attack the city.

Master Yoda made a face and Force-pushed thousands of droids into each other and they crashed into each other.

He crushed a few more when a Clone Trooper announced, "Alert we are losing ground in Sector Four. Repeat we are losing ground on Sector Four."

The Clone Troopers find themselves in a fine predicament of chaos.

"Sector Four needs reinforcements. We are being overrun. Repeat we are-"

Clone Trooper stopped in mid-sentence to kill a droid trying to sneak up on him.

"Fall back. Fall back. Fall back."

"Hold your positions. Hold your positions," replied a crisp female voice as she sent her double-bladed orange lightsaber into a droid's chest plate.

"What the heck?" Blue leader said when he saw the blade come out of nowhere.

A girl that stood at a height of 5'12" wearing black Jedi robes. Her dark brown hair with blonde streaks reached her shoulders was matted with sweat. Her metallic sky-blue eyes had the look of determination in them and at once the Clones recognized her.

"General Roxie," Red leader said.

Master Yoda joined the battle then followed by Mace Windu and he tears droids apart.

Yoda glanced around and spotted Mace. "Master Windu."

Mace looked up when he heard his name and joined Yoda.

They Force-push an army of battle droids and Mace ignited his lightsaber and shouted, "Attack!"

The Jedi and the Clones attack all the droids in sight.

"Roxie, go to Palpatine's private residence where you will find Shaak Ti and help her and the others protect Palpatine," Mace ordered.

Roxanne headed straight to Palpatine's office and reached Shaak Ti.

Shaak Ti looked at her and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Master Windu asked for me to accompany you," Roxanne replied.

They head up to Palpatine's office and ring the doorbell.

"Come in," Palpatine replied as he set his coffee down on his small table.

Shaak Ti glanced at Palpatine and said, "Supreme Chancellor, we have to get you to your shelter at once."

"The battle is so far off from here," Palpatine countered.

"Please, Supreme Chancellor," Shaak Ti pleaded. "We must follow safety protocol-"

Palpatine cut her off and said in a firm voice, "I will not cower in the face of this treacherous attack."

BANG.

BANG.

BANG.

"What is that sound?" Palpatine said as they listened to the noise on the rooftop.

Roxanne took a deep breath and said, "I haven't heard that noise since Grievous died on Kalee."

"You mean to tell me that he's still alive?" Palpatine said with a surprise look. "I thought he was dead?"

Roxanne ignored his question and Shaak Ti said, "We have to go. Now!"

Then all of a sudden the banging stopped and Palpatine said, "It was nothing."

Grievous lowered himself over the window and Roxanne said, "Chancellor, move!"

Then the window suddenly broke and Palpatine lost his balance and Grievous entered the room.

Palpatine brushed himself off and said, "How dare you barge into my private residence. Who do you think you are?"

"No use talking to a bucket of bolts," Roxanne muttered.

"I'll take care of this," Palpatine replied calmly as he looked directly into Grievous's eyes. "I am Supreme Chancellor Palpatine of the Galactic Republic and I will not be bullied by any thug who-"

Roxanne Force-pulled Palpatine to them before Grievous could grab him.

"Take him," Shaak Ti tells the blue guards and Clone Troopers.

Palpatine and the others reached the main elevator and wait for it to open while the mayhem takes place in the other room.

"Stay behind me," Shaak Ti replied.

"Yes," Palpatine agreed.

Then General Grievous came charging out the room faster than the speed of light after Palpatine, but the elevator arrived just in time to their rescue.

Grievous ripped the door off its hinges and followed the elevator down and they saw him and a Clone Trooper decided to blast him with his blaster and missed, causing a smoke screen.

Palpatine coughed and Roxanne glared at the trooper and snapped, "Don't do that again until we are outside the elevator."

"Yes, ma'am," the trooper replied.

The elevator stopped and Shaak Ti said, "Get to the ship."

Then when they looked up they saw an army of battle droids and Grievous landed on the platform to lead the droids.

"Didn't we just leave this party?" Roxanne asked as she pulled out her lightsaber and blaster.

"Run," Shaak Ti said.

As they were running, Shaak Ti said, "Trooper. Call for support."

"We're being jammed," Trooper replied.

"We're on our own," Roxanne replied.

As they were running they ran into a pair of MagnaGuards who are Grievous' body guards and when they go to fight them with the lightsaber, the guards pulled out their electrostaffs.

They continue to fight Grievous and his body guards.

Roxanne grabbed Palpatine while the others try to hold off the guards and Grievous himself.

Roxanne killed a nearby droid and Force-jumped out of the way.

Roxanne sighed and one Jedi commented on her fighting style.

"Wonderful job," Palpatine replied. "Master Yoda would be-"

Shaak Ti jumped in front of them and said, "We have to leave."

Grievous appeared from behind a corner and they fight.

Grievous followed them to the elevator and stopped in front of them and said, "It ends here Jedi scum for you are about to leave this world forever."

"I don't think so," Shaak Ti replied coolly as she tied Grievous' cloak while using the Force and the cart took him away.

"Wonderful," Roxanne replied.

"Hurry," Shaak Ti said and broke a nearby window and jumped out the window.
