Thank you "Rushstar32" for your review as well; Well here is a (long over due) chapter... I really think that Pride is a blinding Force as well.

(Timothy's Point of View)

On the way back to Naboo, I was meditating, trying to get as much energy back as I could. What would really help me would have been some mortal souls, a whole lot of them. The younger, the better. I sat cross-legged in the back room where the droids were kept. I was trying to harness my energy and multiply it. My eyes were closed as I sensed trillions and trillions of life forms, sentient life forms, too many to count, but I could feel them. All would die one day. Even the long-lived species such as Yoda would die one day.

I opened my eyes when I heard the door opened. I turned my helmet-covered head to look towards the door.

Percy came into the room.

He looked at me and sat down on the bench next to me while I was in the middle of the room.

I sighed softly and asked him, "What is it that you need, Perce?"

He sighed softly and then replied to me, "Tim… is there anything that you can do? I mean-"

I cut him off cooly and said, "I could do a lot of things, Percy. Oh, I know I could kill Nute Gun Ray easily enough, but why would I? He is not on my list. If I wanted him dead, if I were paid, he would be dead." I sighed softly and said, "Percy, look at it from my point of view. If I do everything, then no one would learn. I sense a fog of war coming. I need to prepare myself for the war… I am not sure when or where the conflict will boil over, but I know it is near."

Percy frowned slightly and said softly to me, "But, could you not prevent the war? I mean billions if not trillions will die…"

I snorted and said to him, "And your point is? All will die one day. Some will die sooner than others. I am practically the embodiment of Death since my father is not here." I sighed and then added, "Look, I am not ready for a fight against a Jedi or a Sith. Once I reveal my power, or you show yours, there is no closing the lid to the box. The Jedi will likely try to detain us. The Sith will try to recruit us, and if we will not be with them, then they will kill us or try to kill us." I shook my head and said, "Percy, once we get back to Naboo, I need you to try to find the Gungans. I have an idea of where they might be, but you can explore underwater better than most. I will protect the Queen since I am better suited for that than you."

Percy sighed and said to me, "You haven't been this grim in a while, but I guess you have your reasons." He licked his lips before saying softly, "Timothy, try to have some faith in people and beings. That might help you a little."

I sighed softly and gave him a nod before saying to him, "Percy, I love you like a brother, maybe a son. I care for you. I want you to be happy, and Padme makes you happy. I want you to take care of her."

Percy blushed lightly but nodded his head once and said softly, "I will."

The door slid open, and a small blond head poked into the room.

Percy smiled and said, "Hey, Anakin, how are you?"

The small nine-year-old smiled and said to us, "I am well. The Captain said we are only an hour away from Naboo. First, however, he wanted me to let you know that you two may be needed."

I smiled slightly at Anakin under my helmet before saying, "Thank you, Skywalker."

Percy smiled at the innocent child and said, "Thanks, Anakin."

The young boy smiled brightly at us as he said, "You are both welcome."

Percy and I left the room where we were talking. I spoke to Perseus and said, "We will continue the talk later."

A few moments later, we were in the cockpit.

I asked the Captain, "We are here. What do you need us to do?"

The dark skinned human male said, "We are a few minutes out from Naboo. We need you to do your Jedi thing."

I sighed and said, slightly annoyed, "I am no Jedi. Though, yes, I will do my magic." I closed my eyes and focused on my well of magic. I hoped I had enough to take us into Naboo's atmosphere. It would have been a lot easier if I could kill things and take their soul and their life force. But of course, with my luck, I am fighting an army of droids. While yes, I could absorb their electricity, but it would not be nearly enough compared to the souls of the youth and the energy that, that would provide.

I sensed that I could do it, but we would have to leave Hyper-Space for me to do it properly, but yes, I could Shadow Travel the entire ship to the surface of the planet, on the dark side of the planet, though.

I sighed softly as I used my own energy as I focused. Eventually, I nodded my head and said, "When ever you are ready, take us out of Hyper-Space."

I felt the ship slow down and nearly stop. I used that exact moment to shadow travel the entire ship to the planet's surface.

I fell to my knees as we landed in the swamp. I panted heavily as I sounded like Darth Vader.

Percy rushed to my side and helped me stand up. I gave him a nod and muttered a "Thank you." To him.

I slowly stood up as I gave a slight nod and said, "I think we made it here nearly undetected."

I smirked under my helmet as I closed my eyes and said to them, "We need to find the Gungans. I sense a collection of Sentient life forms a little aways from here. I think that is the Gungans. Either they will help us, or they will not. If they attack us…" I gave a dark chuckle and said, "… Well, let's just say that I will have a free meal."
