Summary: The battle is on between the Naboo and the Trade Federation. Han comes to Naboo just in time to help, and Sith Maul reveals himself to the Jedi.
*Chapter 4*
Padme, Leia, Panaka, and the Jedi (including Anakin) made their way to the Theed palace to capture the Viceroy. They went through the secret passageway in the gardens where there were not many droids. Using their Lightsabers the Jedi easily took out the droids that were there.
Padme admired the Jedi's skills to fight. It must've taken a lot of work to master those moves.
As they were walking through the gardens they found someone looking rather lost. He was standing by a fountain with a battle droid at his feet. He had a blaster in his hand, an older model, and he was rubbing his temples in frustration.
Leia recognized the man; she never forgets a face. It was Han Solo, the man she talked to on Tatooine. She couldn't believe he came.
"Hey Solo," Leia called to the smuggler. He looked at her, "You lost?"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Gungan army was ready to take on the droid army of the Trade Federation. Their shields were up, and at full power. General Jar-Jar and Captain Tarpals sat on their Kaadu watching as the Federation tanks moved towards them.
"Steady, steady," Jar-Jar said to the Gungan in back of him. For once in the clumsy Gungans life he was nervous.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Padme's group soon entered the palace. "Get to your ships!" Padme yelled to the pilots. They didn't even need her command. They were already jumping in to their yellow starships.
The Naboo starships were very different from the classic X-Wing or Y-Wings. They looked backwards, and with their bright yellow color you can see them from a long distance away. An X-Wing is a dull gray, and you can't see it well from far away.
Anakin jumped into one of the ships to get away from the battle. Qui-Gon had told him to find a safe place to hide, and he thought he did. R2-D2, the Astro Droid, went in to the top of the starship.
The battle droids across the room started firing at the solders that fired back at them. Numbers of droids and solders went down.
The Jedi were a blur of motion. Their blue and green Lightsabers cut through the droids like they were paper dolls.
Leia shot down quite a few droids, and so did Padme. At first Han underestimated the droids, but he quickly changed his mind when a laser bolt came a few inches away from hitting him in his head.
The droids were soon scrap heaps all over the floor. The group started to move on. Anakin was about to get out of his ship, but Qui-Gon caught him. "Ani you stay in that cockpit," he ordered.
"But…" the 9-year-old started to respond only to get cut off by the Jedi.
"You stay there, where it's safe." Ani nodded and got back in the ship.
As the group moved forward a door to their left opened. Darth Maul was standing where the door opened, his head slowly moved up and looked at the two Jedi.
Panaka grabbed his hilt to take out his gun but the older Jedi stopped him. "We'll handle this," he said boldly. The Jedi stepped forward and dropped their cloaks to the ground. They grabbed their Lightsabers and ignited them. The humming sound seamed to echo through the palace.
The Sith also dropped his black cloak to the ground, revealing his red and black tattooed face and a number of horns on his head. He took out his blood red lightsaber, but it was not a regular lightsaber. It was a double-sided lightsaber. Obi-Wan knew this was going to be a challenge.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The starships raced towards the Federation Battle ship. They had to take it out so they would not be able to send power to the droids.
"Bravo Flight A, take on the fighters. Flight B, make the run on the transmitter," said Bravo leader Ric Olie
."Right Bravo Leader," said Bravo Flight A and B.
"Lets do this!" Ollie shouted. The others nodded in agreement.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Anakin watched as six Destroyer Droids surrounded the group. "We've got to help'em R2," he said franticly. R2 beeped in agreement. "Which ones the trigger," Anakin looked down at all the buttons on the fighter. He pressed one and the ship lifted off the ground. "Oops wrong one, let's try this one." He tried another one. This time the top of the ship closed. Anakin pushed yet another button and the trigger came out. He started to fire the lasers at the droids, knocking them over one at a time.
"How do you stop this thing?" Ani asked. R2 beeped back. "It's on auto-pilot? Hang on back there. Try to over ride it." The starship with Anakin in it left the hanger and headed for the stars.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Padme's group was blocked by battle droids. "We don't have time for this Captain," she said.
"Let's use the outside stairway," said Panaka. Padme nodded at him. She motioned for a few soldiers to come with her, Han and Leia included, and told the others to stay and fight the droids.
Panaka shot-out the window and the small group went through. They pointed their guns at the ledge about six feet above them and shot cables from their pistols at it.
Han had a problem because his gun did not have a cable attachment. He had to use Leia's and Leia had to hold on to him.
As they got up to the top ledge they shot-out the window and jumped through. They were greeted by Destroyer and Battle droids.
Padme knew there was no escaping this time and said, "Drop your weapons, they won this round." Everyone looked at her, they knew she was right (Even Han) and they did as she said.
I'm sorry I couldn't do any better, she thought, I just lost my planet. Or so she thought.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Retreat, Retreat!" cried a Gungan. The Federation army was all over them. The droids broke through their shields and were in a shooting frenzy. The Gungans tried to block them with mini shields, and by tossing energy balls at them, but they just kept coming at them.
Jar-Jar ran and tried to hide under an energy ball carrier, but the Kaadu that had it attached to it's back walked away. Jar-Jar grabbed the back of it only to cause the huge balls to fall out.
"Oh no," he said. Jar-Jar ran back towards the droid army with the balls following. Mesa in big doodoo!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Obi-Wan used the force jump to get back to the battle. The Sith knocked him off a ledge, and he plummeted down to the next catwalk.
He ran as fast as he could, but could not keep up with the two fighters. He ran until he got trapped in the red electron ray gates. He has sweat pouring off his face; his hair was a mess, and he felt like he was running out of power. This Sith was a good fighter.
He looked ahead and saw Qui-Gon kneeling down, lightsaber deactivated. He seemed to be meditating. At a time like this!
Obi-Wan's eye's then saw the Sith. He was looking down at Qui-Gon, pacing back and forth like a cat.
The gates opened and Qui-Gon jumped up and started to fight his opponent.
Obi-Wan ran trying to make it, but he got trapped again. He watched impatiently as the two battled.
Darth Maul caught the Jedi Master off guard and he hit his lightsaber's handle in to Qui-Gon's chin, and jabbed him in his stomach. His eye's cry out in pain and he fell to the floor holding his wound.
Obi-Wan watched hopelessly as the Sith did this to his master. Obi-Wan was outraged. "NO!" he screamed. The sound echoed through the generator, and the Sith smiled at the sound of it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Hold on R2 we're goin in," Anakin shouted. R2-D2 found a way to override the autopilot and now Ani was in full control. Anakin flew the ship into the hanger-bay of the Federation ship. The boy made a very bad landing and the ship skidded on the floor.
"Oh no we're in trouble," he said as he saw droids of all kinds coming towards his ship. He tried pressing the button to get the ship started again but no luck. "Everything's over heated!" he whined. The droids came closer to his ship. He went on pressing the button until the ship went on. "Ok lets get the shields up!" R2 beeped back.
The droids started to shoot at him, but could not get through the shield. "Take this!" Ani said shooting the laser gun knocking over a few droids, "And that!" This time he shot the laser cannons. The shot went right in to the main generator.
"Let's get out of here," Ani said realizing what he done.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Look its blowing up from the inside!" shouted Bravo Two.
"But we didn't hit it," Ric Olie said in amazement looking down at the exploding ship. He looked down at the hanger bay and saw a yellow starship rocketing out of it. "One of ours out of the main hold!"
The pilots looked and saw the ship.
"WOO!" Ani yelled with more enthusiasm then ever, "Now this is Pod Racing!"
The ships flew away from the exploding ship so they would not be captured in the explosion.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Jar-Jar looked at the droid that stopped moving. "Whatsa wrong with thems?" He asked confused.
"The droid control ship has been knocked outsa," Tarpals replied knocking over the nearest droid.
"Theisa all broken." Jar-Jar said also pushing down the closest droid. The Gungan army copied the two, knocking down all the droids. As they were doing this they were whooping and shouting gleefully.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Now Queen Amidala, it is time for you to end this silly war and sign the treaty," said Nute.
Sabe who was dressed as the Queen ran in the room as voiced, "I will do no such thing!"
"That is the real queen, this ones a fake," he said pointing to Sabe. She ran out of the room and Panaka closed the blast doors. Padme ran over to the throne and opened up a compartment; she took out two Naboo blasters, and threw one to the Captain. They started to take out the droids, when suddenly they all went numb.
"Yes," Leia said hardly above a whisper. Han wiped sweat from his face glad that it was all over.
Nute looked around in horror, this time he was not going to escape.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Obi-Wan's mind was clouded from what happened. He could not concentrate. If I was stronger, he thought, I wouldn't be here now.
He was hanging from a hole (A/N sorry for calling it a hole, I couldn't find out the name…) in the generator room.
I have to get out of here; I might be able to save my Master. Obi-Wan saw his master's lightsaber lying by his feet; he used the Force to call it to him. He jumped up and grabbed the weapon in mid-air. Then he ignited it and cut the Sith in to, all in a matter of seconds.
Obi-Wan knew the Sith was surprised by the look on his face. Darth Maul slowly turned his head to look at the Jedi, then plummeted down the endless pit.
Obi-Wan ran to his masters side, "No master don't die."
"This is my time now Obi-Wan, everything happens for a reason," Qui-Gon told his Padawan. His voice was growing weaker with every breath.
"Master," Obi-Wan said starting to cry.
"Obi-Wan promise me you will train the boy, he is the chosen one. You must train him."
"Yes master," Obi-Wan said.
Then he was gone. Obi-Wan cradled his master's head feeling nothing but sorrow. It's all my fault, he thought. Then everything went black.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Padme felt something pulling her out to the Generator. It felt like someone was telling her to help him or her. She slipped out of the throne room and ran down the hall. She went down the hall and in to the door that lead to the generator room.
As she entered the room she saw the to Jedi on the floor. Dead.
