Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlaying star systems is in dispute. Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly battleships, the greedy Trade Federation has stopped all shipping to the small planet of Naboo. While the congress of the Republic endlessly debates this alarming chain of events, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, to settle the conflict...

Jedi Knight Buffy Summers stared out the window of the small ambassadors cruise ship as they approached hundreds of Trade federation battleships surrounding the peaceful planet of Naboo.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Buffy sighed as she crossed her arms as the captain began the descent into the loading dock of one of the battleships. She put the hood of her robe up before going down the cruisers ramp.

"I sense nothing," Her mentor and friend Rupert Giles told her in hopes of calming her nerves.

The two Jedi followed a protocol droid into a type of waiting room.

"My master will be with you shortly." The droid told the two as it bowed then left the room.

Giles nodded towards the droid as the electronic door shut behind it. He turned back to Buffy.

"Something is wrong Giles…I can sense something is coming, and it's not going to be pretty." Buffy explained.

"Be careful not to center your anxiety on the future, Buffy. Keep it in the present where it belongs."

"Whistler told me it is always good for a Jedi to be mindful of the future."

"But be careful not to do it at the expense of the present." He explained.

"Yes master," Buffy nodded, "how long do you think these negotiations will take?"

"The viceroy are cowards…negotiations will be short." -

The protocol droid approached Viceroy Leader Warren and his second in command Jonathon.

"Who has Chancelor Travers sent?" Warren asked his droid.

"The ambassadors are Jedi Knights, by the look of it," the droid answered.

Warren's eyes popped open. "What is the chancellor thinking? Sending Jedi here? He wishes to force a settlement, that's it." He told Jonathon. "Contact Lord Angelus, he will know what to do."

Jonathon nodded and turned to the comlink and made contact with Darth Angelus. A hooded and cloaked figure appeared on the holograph.

"This had better be important, Viceroy." Angelus sneered looking as if he would force choke them through the screen.

"Well yes, my lord. The problem is that Chancellor Travers has dispatched two Jedi Knights to arrange a settlement. It's only a matter of time before they come barging in here." Warren explained.

"I see. This is a most unfortunate turn of events," Darth Angelus admitted, "continue as planned, begin landing your troops."

"And the Jedi?" Warren asked.

"The chancellor should never have brought them into this…kill them immediately." Angelus snapped as he disappeared from the comlink, ending their conversation.

Warren turned to Jonathon, "Dispatch the droids."

Jonathon nodded and entered the command sequence into the ships mainframe releasing a unit of droids into the ambassador center where Buffy and Giles waited.

Buffy sat down resting her head on her hand as she drummed her fingers against the glass table.

"Are they here yet?" She asked bored.

Giles sighed as he closed his eyes and meditated.

They heard the door open and both Buffy and Giles snapped up, noticing that instead of Warren and Jonathon leading negotiations, they had dispatched a group of war droids.

"Oh hell," Buffy cursed as she whipped out her blue lightsaber. Giles followed suit as he pulled out a green one.

"Let the negotiations begin." Buffy smirked as she leapt forward and sunk her saber into the chest of a droid, frying its hardware. She yanked out her saber and then decapitated another 3 droids.

While Buffy covered the south wing door, Giles turned towards the north door which was now opening and revealing a second wave of droids.

Giles thrust his hand forward and force pushed them back. He then used the force to close the door onto them, effectively destroying them.

Giles turned to Buffy as she slashed up the last one and then pocketed her saber. She turned to Giles.

"So much for a 'peaceful' negotiation." She said sarcastically.

Before Giles had a chance to speak he heard a hissing noise coming from the ceiling. He looked up and saw a gas being released into the air.

"Hold your breath, Buffy." Giles warned.

Buffy nodded and took a deep breath.

Warren looked on the security cameras and observed the ambassador chamber fill with the poisonous gas.

"They should be dead by now…destroy what's left of them." He ordered to the droid leader.

"Roger." The robot confirmed as it approached the door. It entered the security code and the door swung open.

The droids all pointed their loaded weapons at the cloudy room.

"Affirmative…the Jedi are de-"The droid was cut off as a blue lightsaber cut off its head.

Buffy and Giles deflected the blasts from the droids as they advanced forward towards the control center where the Viceroy were located.

"Seal the bridge!" Warren ordered as he spotted the Jedi in the distance.

"That won't stop them, sir." Jonathon said miserably.

"Send in the destroyer droids." Warren ordered again.

Giles approached the doors to the bridge. "You have about 5 seconds before destroyers come down that hallway…watch my back." Giles ordered as he sunk his lightsaber into the door and began slowly cutting a hole through it.

Buffy prepared herself as 10 destroyer droids rolled towards her before assembling themselves.

"I think it's safe to say that this mission has gone past the negotiation stage." Buffy told him as she twirled her lightsaber around and deflected the blasts and rebounded them back at the droids.

"Uhhh…Giles, I'm a little outnumbered here." Buffy told him as she dodged a red blast.

Giles abandoned the door and began to back Buffy up.

"They just keep coming." Buffy told him as they repelled more and more blasts. "You destroy 1 and suddenly 10 more take its place."

Giles suddenly got an idea and he slashed his saber at the hallway power grid next to him. Immediately the lights flickered out.

"Buffy, follow me." He whispered to her as he jumped up into the ventilation system.

After maneuvering around in the dark for about half an hour, Buffy and Giles jumped into the main hanger bay hiding behind several crates being careful to not get spotted.

"whoa," Buffy said as she saw the massive army of droids occupying the hanger.

"It seems as if they're preparing an invasion." Giles explained, "They are going to force Queen Kalderash into this treaty. We must warn her immediately. It's time to split up, stow away aboard one of those cargo ships and meet me down on Naboo."

"Well you were right about one thing, Giles." Buffy smirked, "The negotiations were short."

Giles sighed as he put his hood up and snuck away.

Hi...kind of a set up towards the rest of the story. Just a heads up, this will be very very different from the original movie. Different plot lines, and different outcomes. I'll upload a second chapter soon hopefully. Please let me know what you think by REVIEWING.

SideNote: Who should Willow play in this story? I can't seem to find a place for her.
