A/N: Hey guys, sorry this took so long. I'm entering a new chapter of my life and it's been hectic. I meant to get this out three months ago but couldn't manage too. Hope everyone enjoys reading it.

Jar Jar leads the way to a particularly swampy part of the forest that connects to a large body of water. "How much farther?" Qui-Gon asks him.

"Wesa goen underwater, okeyday?" Binks tells them. He begins to walk closer to the water. "Ah, my warning you. Gungan no liken outsiders so don't spect a warm welcome."

"Oh, don't worry." Obi-Wan reassures him jokingly. "This hasn't been our day for warm welcomes."

Anakin rolled his eyes. "Always with the jokes Master. Can't you ever take anything seriously?" He asks teasingly.

"Anakin, the day I take things more serious than you is everyday." Obi-Wan responds back.

With a wild cry, Jar Jar launches himself over 10 feet into the air before coming back down into the water. The Jedi get their rebreathers out before wading in after him.

Cal frowns at Jar Jars jump. "I've never met a Gungan before." She says. "Are they all as...odd as he is?"

Anakin nods. "Based on the ones I've met, yes."

The Gungan resurfaces for a second. "Yousa follow me now, okeyday?"

The view the group rechieves upon ducking under the water line is astounding. Schools of fish swim by before reaching the edge of a drop off. Below, hundreds of orange spheres glow, obviously some kind of underwater community. The group of three continues swimming towards it, until coming to rest on a pad just outside of one bubble. They walk through into an air filled area.

A gasp from the back startles the rest of the group. Several people look back only to see Rey with her hands on her mouth blushing. "Sorry." She said.

Luke, recognizing the suprise on her face, takes a guess as to what caused. "You've never seen so much water before, have you?"

Rey shakes her head. "I grew up on Jakku. It was only recently that I've even seen a bit of green."

Luke smiles reassuringly. "It's okay. I never saw any of that stuff either until I started traveling with the rebellion. I was raised on Tatooine."

Anakins head whips around to face his sons. "Why were you on Tatooine? I wouldn't have raised you there!"

The younger Skywalker gazes sadly at his father. "I don't know exactly what happens to you, but Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen raised me. Uncle Owen always told me you were a pilot during the Clone wars, not a Jedi Knight."

Surprised by this new piece of information, Anakin fell back into his chair with a stunned look on his face.

Both Jedi, dragging their soaking wet cloaks and saturated hair, take out their rebreathers. Together, they stare around, looking at this new environment.

"So good bein home!" Jar Jar proclaims loudly. Other Gungans stand around, observing the newcomers. Some whisper to each other in a alien language.

As they descend down a set of stairs to the main area of the sphere, a Gungan riding a strange creature trots up. "Hey, yousa! Stopa dare!"

"So it's not just Jar Jar who speaks like that!" Han pipes up, trying to diffuse the earlier mood. It worked to a certain extent, some people cracked smiles, but both Skywalkers still looked sullen.

"Heyo-dares, Cap'n Tarpals." Binks greets nervously. "Mesa back!"

"Noah gain, Jar Jar." Tarpals shakes his head. "Yousa goen tada bosses. Yousa in big-dudu dis time."

"I have to admit," begins Plo Koon through his respirator. It's the first time in a while he's spoken and a few jump at hearing him speak again. "They have gotten me rather curious as to why Jar Jar was banished in the first place."

Obi-Wan groans, remembering that conversation. "The answer will definitely surprise you."

"Oh." Groans Jar Jar. Another mounted Gungan trots up and zaps Jar Jar on the shoulder. He gasps. "How wude."

The view fades away, only to be replaced with what looks like a meeting. Many Gungans sit around, watching the two Jedi in front of them. A particularly large Gungan, sitting right in the middle, speaks up after making an odd clicking noise. "Yousa cannot bees hair. Dis army of Mackineeks up dare is new weesong."

Cal blinks. "What the heck did he just say?"

"Search me." Grunts Coal. Talking to Gunagans always gave him a headache. It wasn't much better listening to them through a screen.

"A droid army is about to attack the Naboo. We must warn them." Qui-Gon reasons.

"Wesa no like da Naboo." The Gungan boss says. He makes another clicking noise. "Da Naboo tink day so smarty. Day tink day brains so big."

"That's really what they think of the Naboo?" Leia asks with her nose scrunched up. How the Gungans could think like that was beyond her.

"Once those droids take control of the surface, they will take control of you." Obi-Wan explains.

Stuck in his arrogance, the boss replies. "Mesa no tink so. Day not know of uss-en."

"Wanna bet?" Poe says.

The Padawan fires back with some actual logic. "You and the Naboo form a symbiont circle. What happens to one of you will affect the other. You must understand this."

"Very good Master Kenobi. However, from what I understand of the Gungan race, logic is not something they listen too." The elder Dooku comments.

"Indeed." Obi-Wan agrees.

"Wesa no carrre-nn about da Naboo."

The elder Jedi steps in. He waves his hand. "Then speed us on our way."

"Wesa gonna speed yous away." The boss relents.

Rey frowns. "What did he just do?"

"He used a Jedi mind trick. Using the force to persuade someone." Anakin explains upon Rey's further confused look. "It works very well on the weak minded and not at all on the strong minded."

"We could use a transport." Qui-Gon says as he tries his luck with another Jedi mind trick.

"Wesa give yousa una bongo. Da speediest way tooda Naboo 'tis goen through the planet core." The Gungan says ominously. "Now, go..."

"What's a bongo?" Ahsoka asked.

"A form of transport, I think." Luke responded.

The Jedi bow. "Thank you for your help. We leave in peace."

As they walk away, the Padawan inquires softly "Master, what's a bongo?"

"A transport, I hope." Comes the response. When the two go to walk past Jar Jar, who has been watching the entire time while in cuffs, he calls out.

Chuckles ring out as people listen to the similarities between the conversations.

"Deysa setten yousa up." He insists. "Goen through da planet core? Bad bombin'. Mmm...any help here would be hot." Jar Jar guestures to the shackles.

Obi-Wan groans again. "Sometimes I think we should have just left him there."

Qui-Gon turns back but Obi-Wan tries to remain focused on the mission. "Master, we're short on time."

Rey, who having lived most her life surrounded by scavengers wasn't used to most people's kindness, was deeply confused by this. "Why would he turn back? So far Jar Jar has been nothing but trouble, so why keep him around?"

"It was Qui-Gon's way." Obi-Wan answered. "He was constantly picking up and taking care of those others deemed hopeless. I sometimes think that was part of the reason I became his Padawan in the first place."

Anakin jumped in. "You were never hopeless Master!" He objects.

Obi-Wan smiles, barley showing the sadness of pain from long ago. "No, I wasn't. Though, at times I felt I was. That was part of the blessing of Qui-Gon being my mentor."

"We'll need a navigator to get us through the planet's core. This Gungan may be of help." Qui-Gon turns back to the council. "What is to become of Jar Jar Binks here?"

"Hisen soon to be pune-ished." Comes the eager reply.

Han pales slightly. "That sounds almost exactly like how I pictured Jabba after I ran away from paying him."

"I saved his life." Jinn informs them. "He owes me what you call a 'life-debt'. Your gods demand that his life belongs to me now."

"Binksss." The Gungan boss hisses. "Yousa havena liveplay with thisen hisen?" When Jar Jar nods, the boss shakes his head violently, causing his lips to flap. "Begone wit him."

"Great, even the Gungans don't want him around." Coal scowled. "Should have let him stay."

Ahsoka turned around and looked at the young rebel. "What do you have against Gungans?"

Coal sighs. "I was in charge of negotiations with the Gungans amount other species during the foundation of the New Republic. Trust me, if you had to do political talks with Gunagans for three months, you wouldn't like them anymore either."

Qui-Gon bows gratefully and begins walking away. Jar Jar is freed from his restraints and immediately beings talking. "Count me outta dis one. Better dead here than dead in da core. Yes gods!" He slaps himself. "What mesa saying?"

Later, a ship slips out from one of the orange bubbles. It's engine hums as it speeds along, around other spheres and out into open water. Eventually, it dives down into an underwater ravine.

"Hey, nice ship!" Poe whistles out. "Not quite as nice as the one I fly for the Resistance, but still, nice."

A glimpse inside the cabin reveals Obi-Wan is steering with Jar Jar as the front passenger and Qui-Gon in the back.

"Dis is nutsen. Oh, gooberfish!" Jar Jar notices.

"How easily distracted the idiotic are." Ventress comments dryly.

"Why were you banished, Jar Jar?" The Padawan asks.

"It's a longo tale-o, buta small part of it would be mesa...clumsy." The Gungan admits in embarrassment.

Plo Koon takes a glance at Obi-Wan. "You were right, the answer was surprising."

"You were banished because you were clumsy?" Says Obi-Wan, obviously confused.

"Yousa might'n be sayin dat." Said Binks.

"It's very easy to believe after knowing him for this many years. Though, his being clumsy has helped us out before." Anakin interjects.

The view skips to outside the cockpit, when the ship passes a large column of rock. An large shrimplike fish detaches from its hiding place behind the rock, intent on stalking the ship for its next meal.

"Oh my!" C3-P0 declares aloud. "What a monsterous fish!"

Unaware of the creature following them, the conversation continues. "Mesa caused mabbe one, two-y lettle bitty axadentes, huh? Yud-say boom da gasser, den crashin der boss's heyblibber, den banished." Jar Jar finishes.

Coal puts his head in his hands. "I give up trying to guess what Gungans are saying! It's a lost cause for me!"

The fish finally makes its move, flicking its suction-like tongue out and catching ahold of the ship. Everything jerks inside as the occupants try to figure out what has happened. The fish draws the ship back to its mouth and starts to swim to a private spot where it can enjoy its meal.

Rey turns towards Obi-Wan with wide eyes. "That must have been terrifying. I've never even dreamed there were creatures like that but you were inside the mouth of one!"

Obi-Wan smiles back at her, looking only the slightest bit uncomfortable around all the attention. "Perhaps for someone else. But I am a Jedi, we are trained to maintain a calm exterior." Then he winks at her. "Besides, only the rear of the ship was inside it's mouth."

"Big gooberfish! Huge-o teeth!" Jar Jar screams.

Another fish approaches from behind, at least three times the size as the other just in its head size. It bites down on the fleeing fish, making it lose its grip on the bongo. "There's always a bigger fish." Qui-Gon remarks, having finished observing the phenomenon.

Dooku shakes his head at his old Padawan's comment before his grandson pipes up. "Good thing the bigger fish was interested in the shrimp meal instead of the Jedi entree."

"Mesa tink we goen back now." Suggests Binks.

R2's head spins around as he makes nosies voicing his agreement. Seems fish that can swallow huge fish almost whole is the one thing the little astrodroid is afraid of.

The huge fish roars, bringing up one massive hand and separating the head of the shrimplike fish from its body.

One glimpse at this demonstartion of power sends BB-8 scurrying over to R2 where the two astrodroids, old and new, cower away together.

The scene shifts back to space, where the huge Trade Federation ship hovers above the planet. Vulture droids fly around, their engines howling. Inside the control room, the Federation leaders commune with the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious. "The invasion is on schedule, my lord." Gunray reports to him.

"I have the Senate bogged down in procedures." The Sith informs them. "They will have no choice but to accept your control of the system."

Ahsoka looked at the screen in disbelief. "I still find it hard to believe a Sith Lord is in the Senate. How much power does he have?"

The masked Sith took a deep breath before speaking for the first time since saying his name. "More than you know." He comments about his Master. Several people, everyone from Jedi's to Rebels and Resistance members, exchange looks. Jokes can be made about so much else, but when it comes to the Sith that has and will ruin so much, everything is serious.

"The Queen has great faith that the Senate will side with her." Gunray says.

"Queen Amidala is young and naive." Sidious says critically. "You will find controlling her will not be difficult."

Anakin snorts at this comment. If there was anything he knew about his wife, it was that she was not easily pushed around. She would fight for what she believed in till her last breath.

Gunray does a little headbow. "Yes, my Lord."

The hologram disappears. The aide turns to the Viceroy. "You didn't tell him about the missing Jedi."

"That's because he's a coward." Says Coal softly. His tone is so different from the slightly shy yet enthusiastic teen who was speaking before that everyone pays attention to him without realizing. "Cowardice and a perchance to talk are Gunray's most forward traits. Not a good combination to have in an ally, even if he is rich."

Listening to him, Cal couldn't help but grin. It was so easy for Coal to slip into what she called his 'political mode' that most of the time he didn't even realize he was doing it. Maybe that was why he was so successful.

"No need to report that to him until we have something to report." The Trade Leader reasons.

Back underwater, we see the ship fly out into a cave. "Where wesa goin?" Jar Jar asks.

"Don't worry." Qui-Gon reassures. "The Force will guide us."

"Ohh, maxi big, da Force. Well, dat smells stinkouiff!" Suddenly, an alarm starts blaring.

Luke smiled. "I may be a novice when it comes to the force but even I know not to underestimate it. It certainly saved me from that Wampa in the cave."

A confused expression on his face, Anakin turned toward his son. "You faced a Wampa in its own cave?"

Blushing, Luke gave a recap of the story. "It killed the TaunTaun I was riding and knocked me unconscious. I didn't have much of a choice but to face it if I wanted to get out of there alive."

"Well," Obi-Wan begins with a smirk on his face. "He certainly takes after you when it comes to attracting trouble."

"We're losing power." Obi-Wan explains. Jar Jar whimpers at the thought. The lights in front of the ship start to go out, as the vehicle floats aimlessly.

"Wesa dying here!" Binks exclaims.

Poe shrugs. "There's worse ways to die."

"Just relax. We're not in trouble yet." Jinn tells him.

"What 'yet'?" Jar Jar turns to the older Jedi as the younger one opens a panel and starts fiddling with wires. "Monsters out dare. Leak'n in here. All sink'n and no power? Whena yousa tinkin wesa in trouble?"

"He does make a good point." Rey points out.

With a spark, the power turns back on. Just in time for the lights to reveal a huge eel like creature waking up.

"Well, that's not good." Ventress says only half jokingly. Part of her couldn't help but feel a twinge of concern for Kenobi, despite the fact that she knew he was perfectly fine.

"Aah, monster's back!" Binks screams.

It roars at them as they hurry to get the ship turned around so they can escape the cave. Enthusiastically, it begins to follow them.

In an effort to calm the distraught Jar Jar, Qui-Gon puts a hand on his shoulder. "Relax." He orders and the Gungan instantly slumps.

With a sigh, Dooku shakes his head at his former apprentice. While a great student in other regards, his struggle with Force persuasion apparently remained for years afterward.

"You overdid it." Kenobi notices.

The watercraft has almost escaped the underwater cave when another fish appears from the open water. Obi-Wan pulls sharply, just barley making it over, as the fish grabs the eel. It emits an unearthly howl as its bitten.

"Wow," Leia says surprised. "There always is a bigger fish."

"Head for that outcropping." Master tells the student. And down it goes into another cave.

Switching things up, a large droid invasion heads toward the main city of Naboo. Complete with tanks, airborne droids and large carriers filled with as many droids as they can handle, this army is fit to conquer.

A growl echoes through Grievous's voice box. The cybordg general shakes his head at the screen. "Gunray is most foolish than I thought if he used all those droids to capture a peaceful planet like Naboo and still lost."

While the people all hide safe in their houses, Queen Amidala watches out the palace window.

The Neimodian leaders head down a boarding ramp in the middle of the city. They are greeted by a commander droid with good news. "Viceroy, we have captured the queen."

"Ah, victory." Gunray says with smile on his face.

Suddenly, Cal sits up straight up. "Creator!" She said, summoning the attention of the other redhead. "Didn't you say you had to go sort out something in another world soon?"

"Shoot!" The all powerful being proclaims loudly. She whips out a pocket watch and flips it open to reveal several different watch faces. Creator gasps out loud before whipping around and running to the edge of the group. "I was supposed to be in Lucy Potter's universe a half hour ago, their time! Thanks for reminding me Cal!"

She starts walking backward as she gives last minute instructions to her guardians. "Answer any questions to the best of your abilities but don't get too ahead of yourselves. Also, don't forget to-" But what it is they shouldn't forget we never find out. A portal forms behind her as she keeps walking backward and she trips headfirst into it. It closes behind her.

Blinking, Ahsoka looks toward the two universe protectors. "What do you think she was about to say?"

Coal shrugs. "Can't have been that important. Come on, let's get back to the movie."
