Titanium Squad Saga Book Two:
Naboo Nightmare
Chapter One
It was a normal morning aboard the Resolute Command. Anakin was going over the details of their latest assignment with Captain Rex. They had been assigned to escort and protect Senator Amidala at a banquet on Naboo. The planet celebrated it's freedom from the Trade Federation Occupation every year as a reminder that freedom can only be guaranteed through diplomacy and hard work. Just then, a shuttle pulled into the hangar bay, and out came Drago, Raptor, and Wildcard. The ARC-Troopers of Titanium Squad. Along with the three ARC-Troopers was Hotshot. He was a medic that had been recently assigned to Titanium Squad.
" Good to see you gentlemen. Are you prepared for our latest assignment?" Rex asked as the group stood at attention. " You know us Captain. We're ready for any assignment the General tosses at us." Wildcard said with a determined look on his face. " Good, because we will be escorting Senator Amidala back to Naboo for a banquet the planet celebrates every year." At first, the men began to groan, complaining that they wanted to see some action. Rex silenced them with his signature glare. " As I was saying, We will be escorting the senator. But, we will also be protecting her. As you all are aware, that traitorous assassin, Brick has escaped and may want revenge against the senator."
At the mention of Brick's name, the clones in Titanium Squad frowned, for they clearly remembered their so called brother's betrayal. Brick had kidnapped Senator Amidala and tortured her until she was nearly dead. She was lucky to be rescued by her husband and Titanium Squad and given medical treatment for her injuries. Speaking of the senator, her shuttle had just landed in the hangar bay. the door of the shuttle opened, and out stepped Padmé, wearing a beautiful and elegant gown. Anakin's heart began racing at the sight of how beautiful his wife looked. " Hello, General. Anybody home in there?" Rex teased. Anakin just rolled his eyes at him.
" I am so glad that the Senate requested that you and your men escort me to the banquet Ani." Padmé said with a smile. " It is our pleasure to be the ones to keep you safe Milady" Anakin said as he gave his wife a tender, loving kiss. " Ani, as much as I am happy to see you, I don't think we should be showing off how much we love each other in front of your men." Padmé said pointing towards Rex and the others who were trying not to laugh at the sight of the two love birds. Anakin made them stop laughing with his signature glare that could even frighten the fiercest of Sith Lords.
"Excuse me sir, but we better get underway to Naboo if we are to arrive on time for the banquet." Rex said as he put his helmet on. Anakin nodded and led Padmé to the shuttle. Rex turned his attention towards Titanium Squad. " Remember boys, we're on duty at the banquet. So no drinking, fighting, gambling, or flirting with the Queen's handmaidens. Am I clear." " Sir yes sir." The clones shouted in unison as they boarded the shuttle. The ship took off and made it's way into hyperspace. Everyone was unaware of the danger that was fast approaching towards Naboo.
And that is chapter one for ya folks. Leave a review, and I will get chapter two going.
