The Gungans were on the lookout.
"They are here!" one shouted.
Troops from Theed arrived and Anakin was excited.
Bos Nas declared that Jar-Jar will be the general; nearly making Binks pass out from excitement.
"What is the situation?" Padme ordered.
"Almost everyone is in camps. Hundreds of police and guards are on the ground. There's an underground resistance. I brought back as many of the leaders as I could. The Federation army is much larger than we thought and much stronger. Your Highness, I don't think this is a battle that we are winning." Captain Panaka reported.
"The battle is a diversion. Gungans must draw the droid army away from the city. R2," R2 displayed a map of the city, "We can enter the city using secret passages on the waterfall side. Once we get to the main entrance, Captain Panaka will create a diversion. Then we can enter the palace and capture the Viceroy. Without the Viceroy, they will be lost and confused. What do you think Master Jedi?" Padme explained.
Obi-Wan was impressed with her plan but he was worried she would get hurt.
"The Viceroy will be well guarded." Qui-Gonn shared.
"The difficulty is getting into the Throne Room. Once we're inside; we shouldn't have a problem." Captain Panaka replied.
"There is a possibility that with this diversion, many Gungans will be killed." Qui-Gonn retorted.
"Wesa ready to do oursa part!" Bos Nas exclaimed.
"We have a plan. We should immobilize the droid army. We will send what pilots we have to knock out the droid control ship." Padme stated firmly.
"Well conceived plan. However, there is great risk. Weapons on your fighters might not penetrate the shields." Qui-Gonn said worriedly. Padme glanced at Obi-Wan.
"There's even a bigger the threat. If the Viceroy escapes Your Highness, he will return with another droid army." Obi-Wan stared deeply into her eyes.
"Well, that is why we must not fail to get the Viceroy." she retorted back, "Everything depends on it."
R2 beeped and Obi-Wan felt uneasy. Captain Panaka, Qui-Gonn and Anakin walked away making sure the plan would fall into place.
"Don't do anything stupid." Obi-Wan grabbed Padme by the arm and gazed into her dark eyes.
"Me? What about you, Master Jedi?" she replied sarcastically.
"Not a Jedi yet, my love. Besides I am way wiser than you, my lady." He teased back. She pulled him behind a tree and kissed him.
"Don't get hurt okay? I can't lose you too."
"I promise."
