Title: Shoot Her!
Character: Nute Gunray
Summary: Nute Gunray's thoughts as he watched the executions on Genosis. Today is the greatest day I've had in ten years.

Today is the day Padme Amidala will die.

I have been wanting her dead since she foiled my invasion. I hate her. I hired Jango Fett to kill her and he failed. Luck has brought her here.

Count Dooku told me that she would be joining the Jedi in the executions. Music to my ears. There is another Jedi with her, but the Count assured me that he was no bother.

She is being brought out now. I can see how roughly she is handled. Good. She is being chained up. I hope it hurts.

She is climbing up the pillar now. She can't escape. The nexu will kill her.

I see her somehow remove a handcuff. The nexu jumps up and slashes her back. Her scream is music to my ears! I can see blood. Good! Bleed!

What! She is hitting the nexu with a chain! She can't do that! I told Jango to kill her, but Dooku intervened.

I watch in disgust as Amidala, and the two Jedi ride on the reek. Droids have come. Suddenly, a snap-hiss comes from beside me.

It's Mace Windu! I didn't catch what he said. I watch as other Jedi appear. We are doomed!

Dooku and the others think our droid armies will take care of them. My army was taken down by a bunch of idiotic Gungans and a nine-year old! These Jedi cannot be underestimated.

I watch as she shoots down droids. If only Jango had killed her! Where is he, anyway?

I search for him. There! He is shooting at Windu. Windu blocks each shot. Oh my stars! Windu just chopped off his head!

Its a blur. I can finally focus when everyone is herded to the center. Dooku is talking. Suddenly, she yells for everyone to look.

Troops rain down. I turn to Dooku, "I'm getting out of here!"

I run as fast as I can. I have to leave before more help arrives. If only he had shoot her!
