Camp was set up. Sentries were sent out to patrol the area. Guards were sent to find out the status of the people in Theed. Sabé and I stood near Padmé as she discussed a battle plan with the Jedi and some Gungan Generals. Anakin runs over and tells that the guards and Captain Panaka have returned.

Three speeders pull up. The guards and the Captain walk over. "What is the situation?" Padmé asks. Boss Nass joins them as well.

"Almost everyone's in camps," Captain Panaka explains. "A few hundred police and guards have formed an underground resistance movement. I brought back as many of the leaders as I could. The Federation's army is also much larger than we thought and much stronger. Your Highness, this is a battle I do not think that we can win."

"The battle is a diversion," Padmé tells him. "The Gungans must draw the Droid Army away from the cities. Artoo." The astro droid brought up a hologram of the palace. "We can enter the city using the 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?"

"The Viceroy will be well guarded," Qui-Gon says.

"The difficulty is getting into the throne room," Panaka tells him. "Once we're inside, we shouldn't have a problem."

The Jedi looked to Boss Nass. "There is a possibility with this diversion many Gungans will be killed."

"Wesa ready to do are-sa part," Boss Nass states surely.

"We have a plan which should immobilize the Droid Army," Padmé continues to explain. "We will send what pilots we have to knock out the droid control ship orbiting the planet."

"A well-conceived plan," Qui-Gon praises. "However, there's a great risk. The weapons on your fighters may not penetrate the shields."

Obi-Wan steps in to voice his concerns as well. "And there's an even bigger danger. If the Viceroy escapes, Your Highness, he will return with another droid army."

"That is why we must not fail to get the Viceroy. Everything depends on it," Padmé states.

We were split up into two groups. I was with Padmé, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Anakin, Artoo, and multiple Naboo guards and pilots. Sabé, Eirtaé, and Rabé went with Captain Panaka and other Naboo troops.

We made our way to the city. Inside the city we navigated our way to the main hanger. Padmé signaled to Captain Panaka and his group who is across the plaza. Qui-Gon tells Ani to find a safe place to hide once we're inside.

I pull out my blaster to get ready. Feeling a gaze on me, I turn my head to see Obi-Wan looking at me with a slightly amused expression. I quirk an eyebrow questioningly before turning my gaze to the Naboo troops who opened fire on the droids in the plaza.

Our group makes a run for it into the hanger, the Jedi blocking any bolts headed our way. We rush into the hanger. Battle droids fire at us while Anakin runs and hides. Padmé yells at the pilots, telling them to get to their ships. They run to the fighters and Artoo follows.

Fighters make their way out of the hanger. The other group rushes into the hanger and helps us overwhelm the droids. When the droids we delt with, we began to make our way out. The door opens, revealing the dark-cloaked figure from Tatooine.

"We'll handle this," Qui-Gon announces to us, walking forward with Obi-Wan.

"We'll take the long way," Padmé says. We follow, quickly backing away from the Jedi. We couldn't go anywhere though since three destroyer droids rolled in. They start shooting at us. We fire back at them, but it doesn't make a difference with their shields.

Then the fighter that Anakin is hiding in started forward. It shot at the droids, stunning the rest of us. Padmé took the chance though, not letting it phase her, and commands, "Let's go!" We follow her out of the hanger.

In the palace, we get cornered by battle droids. After a minute or two, Captain Panaka blasts a hole in a window. Padmé, Panaka, some guards, and I cross the hall while avoiding being shot. We climb out onto the ledge as the others stay inside and hold off the droids. After shooting out cables, embedding them into a ledge stories above us, we begin to ascend the wall to the floor above us.

Padmé shot the glass of the window once we landed. Entering the hall, were hurried down the way. Destroyer droids apprehend us halfway down the hall. "Put down your weapons. They win this round," Padmé commands. I reluctantly set my blaster on the ground. Battle droids show up as we do so.

Our group is then brought before Nute Gunray and Rune Haako. Despair runs through me, but I push it away. "Your little insurrection is at an end, Your Highness. Time for you to sign the treaty and end this pointless debate in the Senate," he tells Padmé.

"Viceroy!" we hear someone shout from the hall. Everyone turns to see Sabé, still dressed as the Queen. "Your occupation here has ended."

Sabé shoots two droids point blank. She's always had good marksmanship. "After her!" Gunray orders. "This one is a decoy." Battle droids rush out of the throne room to capture them. They lead the droids away.

Padmé sits on her throne and hits a button on a panel. The panel opened revealing some pistols. Tossing one to the Captain, she grabs one for herself and throws one to me. After the droids were taken care of, Panaka tells the guards to jam the doors.

We all point guns at Nute and Rune. "Now, Viceroy, we will discuss a new treaty," Padmé says.

The Senate was contacted right away. The next day, Senator Palpatine, or now unsuprisingly, Chancellor Palpatine, arrived on Naboo. Troops guarded Gunray and Haako. Us handmaidens stood with the Queen, Captain Panaka, and Obi-Wan. I couldn't believe that Qui-Gon had been killed, but was glad that the invasion had finally ended and no more suffering would happen.

"Now, Viceroy, you are going to have to go back to the Senate to explain all this," Padmé tells them.

"I think you can kiss your Trade franchise goodbye," Captain Panaka says. He leads the two Neimodians to the ramp of the large cruiser.

Palpatine descends the ramp with his guards. They are followed by some Jedi masters. Obi-Wan and Anakin bow to them.

The new Chancellor bows his head to Queen Amidala. "Congratulations on your election, Chancellor," Padmé greets.

"Your boldness has saved our people, Your Majesty. It is you who should be congratulated," Palapatine praises. Is it bad to think about how glad I am that we'll be seeing him less than when he was the senator? "Together we shall bring peace and properity to the Republic."
