Deflection

The Trade Federation sent out their army onto Naboo, capturing all the people and taking the resources that Naboo actually had. Padmé gazed over the beautiful city of Theed which was being destroyed by droids and ships throughout the sky. She, her handmaidens and the Senators had been captured and were being held as hostage inside the palace. Where are the Jedi knights?

Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi had snuck into one of the Trade Federation ships which had finally landed on Naboo. They were assigned on a mission to retrieve the Queen and the Senators and get them to safety. The Jedi's attempts to sneak off the ship succeeded and they began running as fast as they could. The ships caught up fast, as they ran so did everything else. All sorts of animals ran in different directions, as Qui-Gonn ran he spotted a Gungan standing in the middle of the chaos. He dived into the native and the ship flew directly over them.

"What's that? Wait! Wait!" screamed the Gungan as he ran after the Jedi.

"Oh boy! Mesa love you!" He exclaimed once he caught up to Qui-Gonn.

"You almost got us killed! Are you brainless?" Qui-Gonn replied furiously however, he knew the Gungan was innocent and didn't know what was happening.

"I speak!"

"Your ability to speak does not define your intelligence. Now get outta here." The Jedi told him wisely.

"No! No! Mesa stay! Mesa called Jar Jar Binks. Mesa your humble servant!" exclaimed Binks.

"That won't be necessary."

"Oh but it is!" Jar Jar said happily, shortly after they heard gunfire and there came Qui-Gonn's padawan running dodging shots. He screamed for Jar Jar to get down and Qui-Gonn quickly took out his lightsaber and deflected the gunfire onto the droids, which exploded with a bang! There lay his padawan looking rather exhausted with sweat dripping from his forehead.

"You saved me again!" Jar Jar said in disbelief.

"What's this?" Obi-Wan said looking rather confused. He had never seen a Gungan before, this was one of his first trips off of Coruscant, so it all seemed rather strange to him. He was used to the city. As a young child he had lived on Stewjon, a planet that consisted mainly of grass and was taken to Coruscant to train as a Jedi. He hadn't been home since he was taken as an infant.

"A local, let's get outta here before more droids show up." Qui-Gonn began walking and the other two followed closely behind him.

Jar Jar began telling them about the city in which he grew up which was hidden underwater. He was indecisive on whether to take the two Jedi to his safe place but then he told them about how he was banned because he was too clumsy. The Jedi found this rather amusing and Qui-Gonn scared Binks by telling him about the horrible things that would happen if he stayed on land – he eventually caved in and took them to the Gungan city.

It was beautiful, lights shined and the city looked as if it was made of bubbles. They swam until they arrived at one of the 'bubbles' and walked through the wall. Obi-Wan was amazed by the wall and found it fascinating. Inside were Gungans walking and riding strange creatures.

Bos Nas who was the king interrogated them asking why they were in the hidden city. They did not care if war was on land as they did not have to worry about it.

"They will find your city eventually." Qui-Gonn warned.

"They think so smart. Wesa don't need them." Bos Nas glared.

"It will affect either of you." Obi-Wan said, Bos Nas agreed thinking of all the possible outcomes that could happen.

They were eventually chased from the Gungan City because they were unwanted there. They took a ship and whilst they were on their way to Theed they eventually got chased by the massive underwater creatures.

"Wesa shouldn't of come through core, dis very dangerous." He sounded anxious and worried.

Eventually, they arrived at Theed. They had to be very careful where they went, so that they didn't get caught by the Trade Federation. The Jedi and Gungan snuck along the outskirts of Theed and worked their way inwards towards the palace. They crept down alleys that were much different than Coruscant's. These alleys were clean and had plants growing along the bricked walls and up the arches that join beautiful buildings.

Once they had arrived at the palace, they saw that there were groups of people being watched over by droids. They analysed the groups, searching for the Queen. The Jedi had ordered the Gungan to stay where he was until they called for him to join them. They made their way up onto an arch above the group and sat there quietly. Qui-Gonn gave Obi-Wan the sign to jump down onto the droids.

They jumped down and drew their lightsabers, deflecting the gunfire into the droids causing them to explode. Padmé was not dressed as the Queen, she was dressed as a handmaiden in order to protect herself from being killed. When she rushed to the side, the most beautiful man she had ever seen jumped in front of her, deflecting the gunfire.
