First off i'd like to thank my friend I'm Reader-Anon for helping me very much with this chapter. Your assistance is much appreciated
(The next day)
Natasia was led into the castle media room by Sour Bill and instructed to wait for Lucy to arrive. She set her purse down on the coffee table and sat down on the couch. Lucy entered a few minutes later not wearing her hoodie and carrying her purse which she sat down on the coffee table. She pulled a metal bracelet out of her purse which she placed on Natasia's arm
"What's this?" asked Natasia
"That is an invention i made that the arcade doesn't seem to be too interested in for some reason they won't tell me, that bracelet will regenerate you if you die outside your game" said Lucy as she started removing her own jewelry
"And you tested this right?" asked Natasia
"Would i be giving it to you if i hadn't tested it? I've personally used it myself a few tines" said Lucy
She put her jewelry in her purse while taking out another Metal bracelet along with her lightsaber, and Natasia's Tanto baton. Lucy handed Natasia her weapon as she put her bracelet on and clipped her lightsaber to her skirt. Natasia looked at her weapon, even the hidden blade, she couldn't see any major differences, let alone any differences at all. Natasia was confused.
"Lucy, what did you do to my baton? I can't see anything different about it" said Nat
"Well i made it a little more durable and lightsaber and blaster resistant. You'll need that" said Lucy
"Where are we going anyway?" asked Nat
"Before i do that, remove that pink bracelet of yours and put it in your purse, i don't need it telling your dad to rush over here because it thinks you're in danger" said Lucy as she went to a ps2 console and set it up
"Fine, no one will go through my bag right?" asked Nat
"No, even kevin has enough respect for privacy that he won't look through these. Now get your weapon and stand next to me" said Lucy
"Where are we going?" asked Nat
"Revenge of the Sith, practice on some droids before any real bodies" said Lucy
"You ever kill anyone for real in any game Lucy?" Asked Nat
"I'm not gonna answer that as I fear your response. Once we perfect our weapons maybe we can go practice defending ourselves with our hands out in the forest or diet cola mountain" said Lucy
"I gotta be home by 7 just to let you know" said Nat
"We won't be working that long don't worry. Now hold still" said Lucy
Lucys game jumping device zapped the 2 into the game in a flash. When the 2 girls arrived they pulled out their weapons, ready to fight. 2 droids with electrostaffs approached
"The age of the Jedi is over" said a droid guard
Lucy activated her lightsaber and Natasia extended the blade on her baton and the 2 quickly fought the droids, dodging their staffs and landing blows on their heads. within a minute they cut both droids heads off and found themselves in the next part of the level, fighting alongside clone troopers.
"Here's where the real fun begins" said Lucy
A bunch of battle and super battle droids ran towards them.
"Unauthorized personnel have entered the area"
"Crush the clone troopers"
"Bring up the reinforcements" said a clone
Soon, the droids were destroyed and the next wave was getting ready. From the doors emerged several super battle droids, three crab droids, and two of Grievous's Magna Guards.
"Wait, I don't remember these guys as part of this level.", Natasia said, feeling a bit intimidated by the droids.
"I payed them extra to put up a heck of a fight. The ones a qhile ago were too easy.", Lucy said.
A super battle droid shot at Lucy but missed by a hair. Sadly, the same couldn't be said for her hair. "Hey! You shot my ponytail!" She charged at the droid and split it in half with her lightsaber.
Natasia laughed at her reaction but was unlucky enough when a Magna Guard swung his staff at her and knocked her down. She got up and glared at the droid. "Oh you did NOT just do that." She got up and used her blade to cut off the droid's arm without the staff. The guard swung his staff at her but she blocked it with the baton sheathe.
Natasia seemed to be holding her own but was forced to her knees when the other Magna Guard swung his staff on top of his companion.
"Argh!...No fair!" She disconnected the tanto blade from the staffe and cut through both staff arms. She ducked as the weight of the guards got thrown off ablance and caused them to collide with each other. She dropped her baton blade and grabbed one of the staffs before proceeding to use it to knock both guards' heads off.
"Nice one, Nat!", Lucy commented as she used a fallen super battle droid's torso as a shield while she was being shot at by the other SBDs. She used the Force to levitate and throw the torso at the other droids. Once they were down, she rushed oveer and cut them all down in half.
Now all that remained were the three Crab droids, two of which were four feet tall while the other was a giant at forty feet amd stood near the end of the hangar.
"Oh boy.", both girls said.
The droids quickly began firing at them. Both ducked behind the debris of fallen SBD parts. While they seemed to be providing some protection, they knew that these won't last long.
"So, got any ideas on how to beat these droids?", Natasia asked.
"Yeah. These droids have armorplast shields and are impervious to blasters. But see those blasters?" She pointed to the blasters mounted underneath the droids. "We have to find a way to take those out first."
Natasia grabbed a severed SBD arm equipped with a blaster amd tossed one to Lucy. She nodded, as if saying she knew what the other was thinking.
They got up from their cover and shot the blasters underneath the smaller droids. It proved successful. But when they aimed it at the larger Crab droid, it formed a shield and deflected the blasts. It then shot at them as the smaller Crab droids began searching for them.
"Well that didn't work. Any other ideas? I'm open to suggestions here.", Natasia said, peeking over the SBD torso and seeing the droids searching for them.
"Actually, I do. We're going to use their power against them.", Lucy replied.
"And how are we gonna do that?"
"Just stay behind me and follow my lead. Oh, and you might want to grab one of the SBD armor panels." Both girls got a decent enough piece of the armor and used it as a shield.
They climbed up some of the cargo crates while avoiding the smaller Crab droids. They positioned themselves away from view until one of the droids was right bellow them. "Okay, when I say 'now', we jump on the droid's back. I'll steer it towards the mama droid while you cover my back in case the other droid starts chasing us. Got it?"
Nat nodded. Though she still wasn't sure how this idea would work
"Okay...Now!", Lucy gave the signal and both jumped on the droid's back. As soon as they hit, the droid began to buck in an attempt to throw them off. But the two were not ones to go down easily.
Lucy ripped out the droid's eyes and pulled some wires before she was able to gain control of it. She made the droid go towards the larger droid.
Natasia was on the look out for the other droid, as Lucy ordered. No sooner had they gain control of it, the other droid kicked a large oil drum at them. Natasia was able to knock it off course with her baton. She set her baton on its extended form just as the droid began to chase them.
"Uh..Lucy! We've got company!"
Lucy looked back to see the droid. She smirked. "Don't worry, I got this." She yanked the wires and made the droid run at high speed towards the larger droid. Other droid sped towards them and gave chase.
"Lucy, what are you doing?", Natasia asked.
"We're going to use this droid to take that big one out."
"Wait, what?" How?"
The larger droid fired at them. Lucy put up her droid sheild and deflected it as she activated her lightsaber, making her appewr like a galant knight as opposed to a Jedi knight.
"No time to explain. When I say jump, we jump.", she held on to Natasia's wrist.
"Jump? Jump where?", Natasia asked, feeling a bit scared.
Lucy pointed at the photoreceptor eyes of the droid. "Aim for the eyes."
"Wait, do what? Are you crazy?"
Lucy ignored her. They were getting closer to the end of the hangar. Lucy stood up, as did Nat.
"Ready..."
"No, I'm not- "
"Now!" Lucy used her Force powers to enhance her jump. She and Natasia were soaeing through the air well above the monolithoc droid. "Nat, your blade! Aim for the eyes! "
Natasia did as she was told and both landed on the droid's back. They stabbed it's eyes and Lucy used her lightsaber to cut through the armor as much as she could before using the Force to pry it open and pull it apart. "Hang on tight! This is gonna get bumpy."
The droid shut down and fell over, crushing the two smaller droids and tossing the two girls onto the ground. They got up and were congratulated by Obi-Wan.
"Good job, my padawans. I think you can face this bully of yours now. "
"Thanks Obi-Wan.", both girls said.
Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious came up behind Obi-Wan and grinned at Lucy. "You know, I'm still looking for a good apprentice."
"Uh..No thanks. Well, thanks for letting us train here." Lucy looked at her watch and fake gasped. "Oh, would you look at the time. Our parents must be worried about us. Sorry but we gotta go, BYE!"
The two left the game and reappeared in the media room.
"Hey Lucy, who was that guy in the dark robe?", Nat asked.
"I don't want to talk about that" said Lucy as she looked at her now shorter ponytail
"Sorry about your hair" said Natasia
"It'll grow back quickly i assure you" said Lucy
Natasia checked the time on her phone, they'd only been gone an hour
"It's only 3, i thought you said our parents would be worried about us" said Natasia
"I only said that because i didn't want to talk to that guy" said Lucy as she started putting her jewelry back on
"So you think we're ready to fight jimmy?" asked Natasia
"Yeah, but not now, because i'm tired" said Lucy
"Me too" said Natasia "So, what do you want to do now?"
"I have a secret place we can hang out, no one will bother us" said Lucy
Both girls grabbed their purses and went to Lucy's room. Lucy threw her purse on her bed and rolled under it
"Come down here" said Lucy
"Your secret place is under your bed?" asked Natasia
"Just get down here" said Lucy
Natasia rolled her eyes. She threw her purse on the bed and rolled under it with Lucy. Lucy grabbed her arm and glitched to another room with a couch, snacks, tv, and a coffee table.
"where are we?" asked Natasia "And i thought you couldn't glitch"
"The virus is slowly passing through my body, i can't go far but we're near my room i assure you. Neat huh? No one knows about this place, not even Kevin. Airhead?" asked Lucy as she offered her an airhead
"Won't our heads-
"Not in this room, we'll hit the ceiling but we won't go through it" said Lucy
Natasia accepted the offer and both girls ate an airhead. Their heads turned into smiling red balloons and blasted off, though not through the ceiling. When they landed they were full of energy.
"Convenient, i don't have to go outside or get in trouble with Bill over eating these in my room" said Lucy
"That's great. So, when should we fight Jimmy?" asked Natasia
"I'm thinking after school monday, or maybe during, the teachers don't care i'm sure. I'm seeing Jimmy tonight, i'll leave a note at his house" said Lucy
"Why're you going to his house?" asked Natasia
"I want my necklace back" said Lucy
"Still upset over losing it?" asked Natasia
"You can't tell but i'm really furious about it" said Lucy
"I still think it's just a necklace and you're overreacting" said Natasia
"Don't make me angrier Nat" said Lucy who was trying to remain calm
Natasia went silent.
